Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The Wuji Sect gathered many strong individuals, countless geniuses, and even several Great Emperors. It was astonishing, an unprecedented occurrence. No one doubted that the future glory of the Wuji Sect would reach a zenith.

Yet, behind the brilliance and cheers, there flowed a deep sadness.

Even those with the dullest of senses could discern the scent of departure from the series of arrangements made by Emperor Xiao.

"I’ve gained much insight from Chou Gushen’s Tao and Law. Perhaps, it won’t be long before I fully embark on the Fusion Emperor Road."

Seated cross-legged in the void, Xiao Ye looked down upon Wuji City, his eyes profound.

The blade wielded by time blitzed forward, and even Great Emperors found it hard to evade. His parents were such; these people were such.

"I, Xiao Ye, tread the martial path and diligently cultivate to safeguard, even if it costs my life. I must protect these beautiful things in life," Xiao Ye murmured to himself.

Within Wuji City, there were his dearest kin, his friends.

They might reach the pinnacle of glory in this lifetime, but ultimately they would perish in the sands of time, never to be seen again.

And as Xiao Ye stepped out of the True Spirit Continent, aside from venturing into broader horizons, he had another aim—

To find a way for his parents, old friends, and companions to endure eternally in this world!

Time flowed away, and the fervor stirred by the birth of the New Emperor gradually subsided, restoring tranquility to the True Spirit Continent.

"Oh, if only the three village elder grandpas were still alive to freely enjoy this era’s splendor."

Within Wuji Sect, a vast cemetery was erected for those who died for the Wuji Sect, along with the Xiao Alliance members who were buried here.

"Though you have departed, I can assure you that I will protect the remaining clan members, paving an incredible path to avoid the blade of time," Xiao Ye vowed softly, standing beside three fresh graves with Bing Ya.

Rumble!

At this moment, an incredibly powerful imperial aura enveloped the place: "Xiao Ye, it’s about time. We can set off now."

It was the voice of the Unrivaled Emperor.

"Xiao Ye!"

Bing Ya’s body trembled instantly, her teary eyes turning bright red.

Xiao Ye was about to leave the True Spirit Continent; his closest ones knew it, and so did Bing Ya.

"Boss Xiao Ye, are you leaving?"

Little White soared through the air and appeared in the cemetery, rather excited.

Having ascended to emperor, there was no longer anything on the True Spirit Continent that could threaten him. Little White felt quite bored; if not for waiting for Xiao Ye, he might have left himself long ago.

"Yaya, I won’t say goodbye to mom and dad to avoid unnecessary sorrow. Please take care of them and Nian’er," Xiao Ye apologized and glanced at Bing Ya.

They had just reunited, only to part ways once more.

"Rest assured, the Wuji Sect has me," Bing Ya nodded gently, crying and smiling simultaneously.

She knew that Xiao Ye, apart from exploring greater realms, was shouldering the heavy responsibility of finding a way for his parents to have eternal longevity.

Words to dissuade him wouldn’t come out of her mouth.

"Little White, let’s go."

Xiao Ye cast one last yearning gaze at the Wuji Sect, then a determined light flashed in his eyes as he ascended with Little White, vanishing from sight.

"Dad... has he left?"

Wuji City remained unchanged, but Xiao Nian and others noticeably felt Xiao Ye’s aura disappear, and tears filled their eyes in an instant.

"Alas, has he truly left..."

Invincible Emperor’s son, Absolute Emperor’s son, and others awoke from their austere cultivation, their expressions complex as they sighed.

Xiao Ye’s presence was like an insurmountable mountain that pressured them; his leave should bring joy.

Yet, they couldn’t find it in themselves to feel happy.

...

Within the Emperor World.

Swish! Swish!

Xiao Ye and Little White’s figures glided through the air, directly appearing in the vast Emperor World.

"We shall become the first martial artists to step out of the True Spirit Continent, the pioneers!"

Unrivaled, Tie Xue, Wudi, and the Absolute Four Great Emperors soared forth to meet them, their eyes blazing.

Upon reaching the Emperor Realm, they naturally realized that the Great Emperor was not the end, yet their strength could hardly advance further. They speculated that it might be related to the limitations of the True Spirit Continent.

Thus, stepping out of the True Spirit Continent had been their millennia-long aspiration.

Within the Emperor World, eight Great Emperor Disciples appeared and rushed to send them off, visibly excited.

Six Emperors as pioneers, forging a path for these successors.

"After we leave, the True Spirit Continent will be entrusted to you. We have left Great Emperor avatars. Unless the Spirit Demon King invades, they should suffice in resistance."

"Moreover, Duanmu Kun’s strength is enough to deal with most Spirit Demons."

The Unrivaled Emperor’s gaze shifted to the eight Great Emperor Disciples, speaking solemnly.

"Rest assured, Master. We will definitely emulate you and the Senior Masters to protect the True Spirit Continent."

"Master, take care!"

"Thank you for your millennia of teaching!"

...

Suddenly, Shen Cang and others hurriedly spoke, unwilling to part.

"Are you Duanmu Kun?"

"If you harbor resentment because this Emperor snatched your opportunity to ascend, and you target Boss Xiao Ye’s clan members or the martial artists of the True Spirit Continent, I will return promptly to crush you to nothing!"

At that moment, Little White nonchalantly glanced at Duanmu Kun, his words infused with boundless killing intent.

"I..."

Duanmu Kun immediately trembled, fists clenched, forced to lower his head under the terrifying imperial aura.

"Little White is indeed..."

Xiao Ye sighed with a rueful smile, shaking his head.

Without hesitation, the six Emperor Level existences soon arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield.

All the Spirit Demons were swept away, rendering the battlefield especially desolate, with numerous broken Spirit Demon corpses floating in the vast cosmos.

"I wonder if there are Spirit Demons beyond the True Spirit? Otherwise, once the Spirit Demon Blood absorbed by the Time Tower is depleted, it would be quite troublesome."

Just in case, Xiao Ye surveyed the surroundings and put dozens of Spirit Demon corpses into the Space Ring.

The Human Race Four Emperors did not inquire further, instead flying towards the Ancient Road.

"Be careful, everyone. The first time I set foot on this Ancient Road, I encountered deadly threats."

The Unrivaled Emperor shouted, shielding himself with Tao and Law, and was the first to rush onto the Ancient Road.

The remaining Five Emperors opened their defenses and followed directly.

Boom!

Just as he set foot on the Ancient Road, Xiao Ye immediately felt an immense pressure descend, causing his Invincible Body to tremble. Before his eyes, there was a dazzling, ever-changing rainbow-colored glow, as if passing through a vast tunnel into a mysterious world.

"Huh?"

"Another friend from the ’Spirit Rank’ has arrived? It’s really not easy, a perilous journey ahead, we can just accompany each other."

"That’s not right... how did a ’Mortal Rank’ ant slip in?"

...

Suddenly, a soft exclamation arose, reaching Xiao Ye and his companions’ ears.

(Xiao Ye embarks on a new journey, with even more exciting and intense plots arriving. The foreshadowing of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will be revealed, along with the origins of the Time Tower and the Time Dominator, all will be presented to everyone. Thank you for your continuous support, I will strive to write the story even better in future Chapters.)
