Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The starry sky of the Outer Domain Battlefield was shaking madly. Xiao Ye’s body did not emit any powerful aura; he appeared very ordinary, with no sign of the True Martial Physique, Domineering Body, or Half-Emperor Body Law, resembling a mortal body. Yet, the combat power exploding from his physical form seemed to be imbued with supreme Tao and Law, making the mountains and rivers lose their color and rendering the sun and moon void.

Xiao Ye’s black hair danced chaotically, but he remained very calm, throwing punches while surrounded by spirit demons.

Among the spirit demons known for their physical resilience, under his twin fists, their bodies unexpectedly cracked open, blue blood splattering everywhere, unable to withstand the blows, a vision both real and dreamlike.

"Hiss!"

A spirit demon roared as it attacked, captured by Xiao Ye’s two palms, and torn into two halves. Bathed in blue blood, he resembled an undefeated War God.

The soul-shaking roars of the spirit demons no longer significantly affected Xiao Ye.

Unlike Duanmu Kun, his cultivation had ascended to the Quasi Emperor level, unafraid of the spirit demon’s roars.

The physical body is the vessel of the soul; as the body improved, Xiao Ye’s spirit surged, naturally nurturing and transforming his soul.

"How... how is this possible?"

"Little Junior Brother hasn’t activated his Tao and Law, merely suppressing these spirit demons with his physical body?"

"That’s too exaggerated! Little Junior Brother’s physical body has reached what level?"

...

After a dead silence, when Xiao Ye killed several more spirit demons, the crowd finally reacted.

Xing Shuo and Shen Cang all widened their mouths, their faces filled with a dazed look.

Since when...

Were spirit demons so easily slain?

Moreover... why did they feel Xiao Ye more resembled a spirit demon?

It’s important to know that without the guidance of the Four Emperors, they wouldn’t dare to set foot in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Yet now, the spirit demons once considered overwhelmingly powerful like gods and demons lay dead at Xiao Ye’s feet. What a shock!

Crucially, at this moment, Xiao Ye clearly wasn’t displaying his Tao and Law; he was merely engaging spirit demons with his physical form!

"What a formidable physical body! What has occurred to Xiao Ye?"

"The strength displayed by Xiao Ye’s physical body already surpasses his Tao and Law by a large margin."

"How did Xiao Ye forge such a supreme physical body?"

...

Even the eyes of the Four Emperors of the Human Clan shone with shock.

"Xiao Ye, can one claim the emperor title with just the physical body?"

Particularly the Undefeated Emperor, his eyes brimmed with divine radiance.

He was truly a Heavenly Son, possessed unparalleled elegance, ranked first in cultivation talent among the Four Emperors of the Human Clan.

Back then, to boost his strength, he wanted to forge an undefeated path with the physical body but unfortunately failed. The difficulty was too great, and True Spirit Continent’s heavenly rules simply wouldn’t allow it.

Now, from Xiao Ye, he saw an undefeated path of physical body manifesting.

"Impossible!"

The most intense reaction belonged to Duanmu Kun, whose face turned extremely pale, his eyes widening in disbelief.

He had just proposed to help Xiao Ye, yet Xiao Ye’s performance seemed to slap him hard.

"Little Junior Brother, your physical body’s strength matches mine now. I won’t lose to you!"

Duanmu Kun’s eyes instantly reddened, letting out a roar, pushing his Tao and Law towards the spirit demons.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to lose to Xiao Ye.

Especially with the Four Emperors observing.

Divine light shined over the dark battlefield outside the domain, as these two strong figures, Xiao Ye and Duanmu Kun, madly slaughtered the spirit demons.

Looking around, one spirit demon after another turned into corpses, blue blood rushing like a river in the starry sky.

Soon, this stretch of starry sky cleared out into a vast empty space.

"Competing by killing spirit demons?" Upon seeing this, the seven disciples of the Great Emperor sighed.

Duanmu Kun and Xiao Ye had left them far behind.

Rumble!

Duanmu Kun’s white hair flew wildly, evolving his Tao and Law to a peak level, rendering the starry sky vibrant with light.

In the Half Emperor Realm, he possessed strength rivalling a Quasi Emperor, a true genius with the potential to become emperor. Now, even more terrifying, he blasted apart spirit demons comparable to Quasi Emperors.

"Unexpectedly, using the White Phoenix Spirit Root to strengthen the physical body mistakenly led me down an undefeated path with the body."

"If I continue to strengthen, what level will my physical body reach?"

Regarding Duanmu Kun beside him, vying with him, Xiao Ye didn’t mind. He remained immersed in the joy of physical transformation.

His True Martial Physique, Domineering Body, Half-Emperor Body vanished at this moment, his body transforming into a Dao Furnace, melding these physiques into one, seamlessly mixed, indistinguishable yet retaining their traits.

Baptized by spirit demon blood, gradually threads of divine light weaved, inscribing martial arts runes on his body, illuminating the Void Space.

With his fists waving, he altered the movement trajectories of the great stars within the Outer Domain Battlefield. Amidst boundless ripples, it seemed he became the center of the battlefield.

Within his body, divine lamps lit one after another, piercing through the darkness, momentarily resembling the emergence of a new Great Emperor.

This was a transformation breaking through the bodily shackles and bypassing the restraints of the heavens.

The spirit demons, seemingly provoked, kept attacking, causing Duanmu Kun some strain, his figure retreating, yet unable to shake Xiao Ye’s form at all, akin to moths to the flame, quickly cleared out.

Xiao Ye’s explosive power from his physical body ascended once more, showcasing unmatched splendor, overshadowing Duanmu Kun beside him, his combat strength approaching the highest Emperor Realm.

Great Emperor Disciples’ hearts surged with turbulent waves.

How terrifying must the physical body be to withstand such a fierce assault?

"Indeed!"

"The transformation of the Time Tower is due to the demon blood!"

"Absorbing so much demon blood this time, I can continue researching other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures upon return." Xiao Ye felt incredible satisfaction.

He deliberately bathed in spirit demon blood to let the Time Tower absorb it.

With so much spirit demon blood absorbed, the Time Tower revived its supreme power once more. Xiao Ye sensed that just a thought of his consciousness could trigger the first level’s ability.

It’s noteworthy that there are plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within Emperor World.

"Absorbing ordinary spirit demon blood allows releasing the Time Tower’s first level’s ability. What if absorbing the blood of the Spirit Demon King?"

Recalling half a year ago when he ascended the Outer Domain Battlefield and witnessed the Spirit Demon King, Xiao Ye’s heart trembled.

The Spirit Demon King was an absolute terror, even causing the Four Emperors to tremble, not a combatant he could handle for now.

"Enough, stop now."

"Although we’ve sealed this place, continuous battling might lure out the Spirit Demon King." At that moment, the Unrivaled Emperor stepped forward, asking Xiao Ye and Duanmu Kun to halt.

"Little Junior Brother, I lost this time, but soon I’ll surpass you, becoming emperor faster!"

Duanmu Kun, pale-faced, full of sweat, leaving with an unconvinced expression.

Though he was a Quasi Emperor, in such fierce battles on the Outer Domain Battlefield, his consumption was enormous.

By contrast, Xiao Ye remained unchanged in expression.

"Senior Brother..."

Watching Duanmu Kun’s departing figure, Xiao Ye was simultaneously crying and laughing.
