Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The information contained within these words is truly astonishing!

In an era, only one Great Emperor is destined to appear. If this rule is true, then the Half-step Emperor level expert who left behind this line of words is indeed unfortunate; clearly possessing the qualification to impact the highest domain, yet having to make way for the Undefeated Emperor.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye continued to focus his attention.

Although these words are largely obscured by the mottled marks on the stele, careful identification still reveals them.

"Without becoming a Great Emperor, no matter how outstanding the Heavenly Pride and Human Hero, in the end, they will all be submerged in the river of time and ultimately be forgotten."

"But as a man born between Heaven and Earth, if I can’t leave behind a great legend and tales, then isn’t it a waste of a journey to this world? I am unwilling for that to be the case, so I travel the world and finally found a method to let my brilliance reappear in future generations!"

At this point, Xiao Ye was shocked again, his face full of disbelief, his heart pounding wildly.

Could it be that the Half-step Emperor level expert who left behind this line of words found a way to resurrect himself in future generations?

Xiao Ye focused his attention once more on the words on the stone stele, only to find the lines behind them already blurred beyond recognition.

With no choice, Xiao Ye began to search within this Stone Tower.

Since this Stone Tower was left by a Half-step Emperor level expert and is guarded by so many Ferocious Beasts, there must be something extraordinary about it, so it has to be carefully searched.

The space inside this Stone Tower is not large, and after careful searching, Xiao Ye soon made a discovery.

A pitch-black, deep passage appeared in front of Xiao Ye, its destination unknown, while a creepy aura spread from within.

Even the previously lively Little White, who wanted to burst out, had subdued a lot at this moment, seeming as if there’s a great danger here.

"Since Little White can sense the existence of a treasure within this Stone Tower, it must be right." With gritted teeth, Xiao Ye directly rushed in.

The passage wasn’t long, as within ten breaths’ time Xiao Ye saw a light ahead.

"What is that..."

Xiao Ye hadn’t even reached the end of the passage when the expansive Emperor’s Martial Intent was released, immediately making an astonishing discovery.

At the end of this deep passage was a dimly lit Great Hall. In its center sat a very handsome man in a green robe, his figure towering, and long hair draped over his shoulders. Although there was no sign of life, he emanated a presence that intimidated all the heavens.

"Already dead?"

Xiao Ye dashed out of the deep passage, staring at this man’s corpse.

Although this man was dead, his corpse was of a dark golden hue, his skin exceptionally full, and his black hair ink-like, so lifelike that he didn’t appear to be deceased, as if even the power of time couldn’t leave the slightest mark on this corpse.

At that very moment—

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s soul suddenly trembled harshly, his entire world seeming to vanish, leaving only this man’s corpse.

This man’s corpse, at this time, seemed to revive, like a supreme Demon God standing at the pinnacle of the True Spirit Continent, coldly gazing down at him, its indifferent gaze capable of easily tearing through his body.

Even the Titled Emperor Martial Xiao Ye had faced before paled in comparison to this man, as if one was the moon and the other mere stars.

Whoosh!

That anomaly disappeared instantly, and when Xiao Ye regained consciousness, he found himself half-kneeling on the ground, drenched in cold sweat that soaked his robe.

"So terrifying!"

"Could this person be the Half-step Emperor level expert who left the words on the wall?" Xiao Ye was overwhelmingly horrified, no longer daring to get too close to this man’s corpse.

If his speculation was true, it would be too astonishing.

This is an ancient being from the same era as the Undefeated Emperor, and even after death, his corpse remains so well-preserved, still possessing such power, which completely upended his imagination.

"Can this Half-step Emperor level expert truly be resurrected in future generations?" Thinking of the line of words he saw on the stone stele, Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered as he began to inspect this corpse.

He didn’t believe there was only this corpse present in the Stone Tower.

"Is this an array?" Xiao Ye’s gaze landed on the ground, and his pupils instantly contracted.

The floor of this Great Hall was inscribed with very peculiar runes.

These runes intertwined to form a powerful force that directly pointed towards that corpse.

Additionally, near these runes, he found another line of words.

This line of words was identical to the one he saw on the outer wall, clearly left by the same person.

"Though I do not know the Longevity Technique, after reading all the Ancient Scrolls, I finally found a method to extend my glory to future generations, which is the Path of Artifact Refining."

"I have gathered rare treasures, using my own body as material to forge an artifact, merging into one. In the end, I have crafted myself into a ’weapon’, to remain eternal and immortal, suppressed by runes in this place."

"If future generations are fortunate enough to obtain my corpse, they can use the secret technique inscribed upon it to activate the corpse and gradually display the power I had in life."

Reading this line of words, Xiao Ye felt as if struck by lightning, a blazing light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t utter a single word.

This Half-step Emperor level expert from the same era as the Undefeated Emperor was simply too insane!

He actually forged his own corpse into a weapon that can also be controlled by others!

This was what the Half-step Emperor meant by being able to display one’s brilliance in future generations.

"This elder was truly a madman!" Xiao Ye murmured, with his emotions surging.

According to the words, if he could acquire the secret technique inscribed on that corpse, wouldn’t he be able to activate the Half-step Emperor level expert’s corpse?

Judging by the current situation of the True Spirit Continent, the combat power of a Half-step Emperor level is absolutely unmatched!

In this way, even if the whole world becomes his enemy, what of it?

As long as he can control this corpse, he fears no one!

"Elder, younger Xiao Ye has entered this Stone Tower by chance, disturbing your peace, I ask for your forgiveness."

"If this junior is fortunate to acquire your body, I will certainly cherish it and not tarnish your esteemed name." Xiao Ye took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, and saluted with clasped fists towards the corpse.
