Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Time flew like an arrow, months passed like a shuttle; two years had gone by.

For Spirit Rank powerhouses in the Three Thousand Great Realms, whose lifespans were incomparably long, two years passed in the blink of an eye, nothing more than a single moment of enlightenment or a brief seclusion.

Yet within these two years, the Blue Demon Star Domain had undergone many upheavals.

First of all, the two newly advanced Spirit Kings who cultivated the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, Xiao Ye and the Demon Weapon, had Fallen!

This news was transmitted back to the Spirit Capital, shocking Martial Artists of all factions.

The Demon Weapon they had high hopes for had forcefully broken through to the Earth Spirit Realm, the Scripture Phenomenon of the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture fully awakened, able to sweep aside Late Earth Spirit Realm experts, bearing peerless grace and talent, amassing War Merit madly on the Boundary Bandits’ battlefield, yet now had actually Fallen just like that.

Moreover, rumor had it he died at Xiao Ye’s hands, which could not help but take people by surprise.

But no matter what, these two newly advanced Spirit Kings had indeed Fallen, causing no small impact on the balance of power among the factions in the Spirit Capital.

Secondly, the news that two years ago, Blue Demon and his Five Great Law Enforcement Envoys had all moved together and discovered a Starry Sky Secret Realm formed by the Fallen sitting transformation of an Invincible Spirit Rank powerhouse, in the end could not be kept under wraps and leaked out.

This news, a year later, swept out with astonishing speed, shaking all directions, setting several nearby Star Domains boiling.

Starry Sky Secret Realms were the very foundation upon which Star Domain Forces of the Taixu Great Realm stood; every time one was discovered, it would draw a storm of blood and slaughter.

What was more, this time it was a Starry Sky Secret Realm left by an Invincible Spirit Rank powerhouse after his sitting transformation, and it had not yet been explored by anyone; its allure was likely second only to a Holy Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm.

Very soon, Spirit Rank powerhouses from several nearby Star Domains crossed the stars to arrive, clashing fiercely with the Blue Demon Star Domain, erupting in a domain war that made one’s heart tremble, on a scale far surpassing the flames of war stirred up by the rampaging Boundary Bandits.

Under such immense pressure, even a powerhouse like Blue Demon could not bear it.

After all, looking across the Taixu Great Realm, he was indeed a formidable powerhouse, but still far from being Invincible.

Moreover, after adding in the losses of many Spirit Kings under Blue Demon’s command while exploring such a high-level Starry Sky Secret Realm alone, even he finally yielded, agreeing with these Star Domain powerhouses to jointly mine and explore this Starry Sky Secret Realm.

The Starry Sky Secret Realm left behind by an Invincible Spirit Rank powerhouse after his sitting transformation was incomparably vast, its scope comparable to a small Star Domain.

Looking out, this place was gloomy and cold, only faint starlight flowing; one could see endless Starry Sky Giant Trees stretching off into the distance, branches and leaves luxuriant, spreading throughout the Secret Realm, dimming the light here, even suppressing the Spiritual Sense of Spirit Rank powerhouses.

This place was like a piece of Divine Land that had never been mined, containing countless secrets and treasures, awaiting others’ exploration.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Suddenly, two figures shot out at extreme speed from within a dense patch of Starry Sky Giant Trees.

They were two human Martial Artists.

One was tall, with bronze skin, handsome and well-defined features, a pair of deep eyes gleaming with a coldly arrogant light, emanating a chilling aura.

The other was short in stature, but with hard, solid muscles, appearing very robust; those powerful arms of his seemed to harbor immense explosive strength.

His eyes were vicious, like those of a wild wolf, filled with a menacing killing intent.

They were both clad in War Armor, but the insignia on their armor differed from that of the Blue Demon Star Domain.

"Although the Arrays within this Secret Realm have not yet been broken, we can already reach the outer perimeter."

"But why is it that even Green Stone Milk has become extremely scarce here? As for Purple Light Stone Milk, we haven’t seen a single portion, and even Spirit Stone Trees are rarely seen."

"In a Secret Realm of this level, even the outer perimeter should still have plenty of Cosmic Spiritual Treasures." The short Martial Artist suddenly frowned and said.

"It is indeed very strange."

"Our Wancang Star Domain received the news and rushed over at the first possible moment; even if those waste Spirit Kings of the Blue Demon Star Domain were faster, it’s impossible for them to have harvested all the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures in the outer perimeter in such a short Time."

The handsome man, Fu Zhongshan, spoke coldly.

The two of them conversed as they flew through the outer perimeter.

This Starry Sky Secret Realm had only just been discovered; although it had not drawn in Exotic Beasts from the Taixu Great Realm, it had already given birth to Exotic Beasts.

In addition, there were many mechanisms and Killing Formations here, making it a place riddled with danger.

Yet these two were able to handle everything with ease, their strength clearly formidable.

However, as Time passed, they became increasingly alarmed.

They had expanded their search radius to about ten thousand kilometers, yet still had not found a single portion of Green Stone Milk, and even the occasional Spirit Stone Trees they saw had been uprooted, stripped of all Divine Charm, drifting within the Secret Realm.

They continued to expand their search range.

"Fu Zhongshan, look!"

All of a sudden, the short youth cried out in shock, his eyes widening until they were round, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What is it?"

The handsome Fu Zhongshan turned toward the sound, and his pupils contracted at once.

Only to see not far ahead of them, fragments of Spirit Stone Trees and broken branches were floating in dense clusters, like a "garbage dump."

And within this "garbage dump," one figure was incomparably conspicuous.

It was a youth, his figure tall and straight, black hair like ink; the War Armor on his body was already shattered, stained with dried blood, as if he had experienced a brutal slaughter.

He resembled a Corpse, simply floating quietly within the Secret Realm, no aura emanating from him at all, causing the two of them to suck in a breath of cold air as a chilling coldness swept over their bodies, making every hair on their bodies stand on end.

To find a Corpse in the outer perimeter of the Secret Realm— even an existence like Blue Demon would find it hard to remain calm.

"Judging from his War Armor, he should be a Spirit King under Blue Demon’s command."

"Damn it, with so many fragments of Spirit Stone Trees, it seems this brat’s the one who made them; he seized the initiative, so he definitely has quite a few Cosmic Spiritual Treasures on him."

"Under Blue Demon, only the First, Second, and Third Spirit Kings have passable strength; the rest are all trash. If he’s still alive, I’ll kill him."

After their initial shock, the two carefully examined the Corpse before them and soon calmed down; the short Martial Artist snorted coldly, his figure shooting out like an arrow.

"Space Ring!"

The short Martial Artist gave the Corpse a once-over, his gaze landing on the other’s hand; he chuckled darkly and raised his hand, reaching toward the Space Ring.

Yet just as his hand was about to seize the other’s Space Ring—

Swoosh!

A fair, slender yet powerful hand swept across, instantly clamping down on his wrist.

"I am not yet dead, and you would already seize my Space Ring. Is this not going too far, sir?" At the same time, an icy voice rang out, as if coming from the Nine Nether.
