Chapter 1657 - 1640: Little Junior Brother, Why Are You Here?
"Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the outside world, but here in the Time Tower, I’ve journeyed through a long passage of time."
"Now, even senior brother is about to ascend to emperor status."
Xiao Ye’s long robe fluttered in the wind, and his eyes seemed to carry a hint of confusion, with an even denser aura of the passage of time emanating from him.
After all, the Human Race Four Emperors did not cease their preaching to him, so to avoid revealing the Time Tower, the actual times he entered the Time Tower for cultivation over these twenty years were quite few.
Yet despite this, with the Time Tower Fifth Floor’s exaggerated time amplification, the time he possessed far exceeded that of Duanmu Kun and others.
Duanmu Kun cultivated for twenty years, unaware that the time Xiao Ye spent in cultivation was even longer!
At this moment, the Human Race Four Emperors had already brought Duanmu Kun to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and another seven Great Emperor Disciples had also set out.
The void shattered by the Unrivaled Emperor had already closed again.
Don’t be fooled by the Unrivaled Emperor’s casual wave shattering the heavenly dome of the Emperor World, connecting it to the Outer Domain Battlefield, only emperor-level combat power could achieve this.
Besides, even those esteemed as a Quasi Emperor could only enter the Outer Domain Battlefield through the Teleportation Array at Unrivaled Peak.
Only then could it be ensured that the spirit demons within the Outer Domain Battlefield wouldn’t burst out and wreak havoc on the True Spirit Continent.
"It seems like the void barrier leading to the Outer Domain Battlefield isn’t overly sturdy." Xiao Ye stepped into the air, facing the heavenly dome of the Emperor World.
The next moment, a peculiar color stirred in his eyes, and he slowly raised his palm, grasping towards the heavenly dome from afar.
Suddenly—
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As if a Great Emperor was taking action, one strike could shatter heaven and earth; the space of the heavenly dome Xiao Ye faced wildly trembled, unable to withstand it, completely collapsing, revealing a vast expanse of starry sky.
The unique mysterious ’qi’ of the Outer Domain Battlefield surged forward, expanding within the Emperor World, and faintly, the soul-stirring roars of spirit demons could be heard.
"Senior brother, you’re about to ascend to emperor status, I also wish to see and experience the prowess you possess post-ascension." Xiao Ye’s eyes burned intensely as he stepped forward towards the Outer Domain Battlefield.
The ravaging spirit demons within the Outer Domain Battlefield, perhaps this time will be quelled.
...
The Outer Domain Battlefield was already engulfed in chaos.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three towering figures and a tall, graceful silhouette stood simultaneously, in an invincible domain, with Emperor’s Power vast, soaring to the sky, as if threatening to overturn this Outer Domain Battlefield.
Emperor-level Tao and Law danced, Laws and Mysterious rose, making the starry sky wail, the Human Race Four Emperors sweeping aside the ravaging spirit demons with utterly overwhelming force!
A youth, brimming with heroic spirit, held twin swords, his expression cold and proud like frost, surprisingly advancing alongside the Human Race Four Emperors!
He traversed and surveyed, with twin swords dancing his own Tao and Law, invoked endless anomalies, akin to a War God, charging towards the depths of the Outer Domain Battlefield, releasing the aura of invincibility with every move, causing spirit demons to collapse around him.
Swoosh!
With a single sword thrust, the heavens trembled immediately, terrifying Heaven and Earth Power encircled, merged with his swordsmanship, neatly slicing twenty spirit demons’ bodies, blue blood fluttering.
That terrifying Heaven and Earth Power encircled, filling the starry sky, brought immense pressure to the seven Great Emperor Disciples who came to observe.
"Oh my, senior brother can now command ten percent of Heaven and Earth Power, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Four Emperors?"
"Senior brother’s Tao and Law indeed transcend the Quasi Emperor’s level; once the opportunity for emperor status opens, he will definitely ascend."
"I can feel it, senior brother is just a step away from the opportunity to become an emperor, akin to the Cang Clan Patriarch."
"Is senior brother going to march shoulder to shoulder with the Four Emperors to the deepest part of the Outer Domain Battlefield, rebuilding the path beyond True Spirit?"
...
Among the seven Great Emperor Disciples, some marveled, some sighed, all deeply humbled.
Nurtured meticulously by the Human Race Four Emperors for twenty years, Duanmu Kun’s strength indeed reached an astounding level, the strength demonstrated could completely rampage through the armies of spirit demons, leaving them gazing upward.
The Human Race Four Emperors are indeed unmatched by the world.
However, sweeping through the armies of spirit demons and charging to the deepest part of the Outer Domain Battlefield is not simple.
And now with Duanmu Kun’s addition, he can completely relieve the pressure from the Human Race Four Emperors; as long as the Spirit Demon King does not appear, these armies of spirit demons cannot hold.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, beside them, the starry sky trembled fiercely, only to see a black-robed youth emerge from it.
"Little Junior Brother, you... how come you’re here?"
Upon clearly seeing the features of the black-robed youth, the seven Great Emperor Disciples were taken aback, their expressions changed, looking a bit awkward.
To know, over the twenty years, though the Human Race Four Emperors did not abandon Xiao Ye, continuing preaching, compared to the meticulous nurturing of Duanmu Kun, it formed a stark contrast.
They were all very worried whether Xiao Ye might harbor resentment because of this.
Thus, when Duanmu Kun came to the Outer Domain Battlefield to ascend emperor status this time, none of them wished to inform Xiao Ye, fearing the sight would provoke him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye himself arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield.
"Little Junior Brother, Master has instructed that unless at a crucial moment, do not activate the Transmission Array on Unrivaled Peak to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield."
Still, it was Xing Shuo who cleared his throat, breaking the awkwardness first.
"Since senior brother is becoming the New Emperor, as a fellow disciple, I naturally ought to witness and congratulate." Hearing Xing Shuo assuming he used the Transmission Array, Xiao Ye smiled slightly, offering no further explanation.
"Little Junior Brother, since you arrived, just observe, there’s no need for your involvement here."
"And... apologies, I took the seat of the New Emperor of the century first."
"Your ascension posture is second only to mine among the fellow disciples; once I ascend, I’ll guide you."
Right then, a serene voice suddenly resounded, like thunder echoing in the starry sky.
Only to see amidst the spirit demon army, Duanmu Kun wielding twin swords, an aura of supremacy flowing from him, casting a glance at Xiao Ye.
This was the gaze of victory!
Twenty years ago, within the Outer Domain Battlefield, Xiao Ye slaughtered spirit demons with an Invincible Body, utterly overshadowing him; now he finally gained ten percent back.
Throughout history, the path to empire has buried countless heroes and Heavenly Prides, a moment of brilliance does not count, only ascension ensures eternity.
"Senior brother, wishing you success in ascending to emperor status."
Xiao Ye remained expressionless, like an observer, sincerely sending blessings to Duanmu Kun, letting the seven Great Emperor Disciples breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems Little Junior Brother harbors no resentment.
"Speed up, charge forward, initiate the opportunity for emperor status!"
The Unrivaled Emperor gazed deeply at Xiao Ye for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, shouting lowly.
