Chapter 1477: Chapter 1460: Strongest Below Half Emperor

Qi Zhan, a Half-step Emperor from the Ancient East State, naturally exhibited extraordinary skills. He was like a divine spirit descending to the world. With a single palm, he subdued over a hundred martial artists from the Ultimate Palace. As his palms flew, they brought forth a shockwave of astonishing power, charging toward the Half-step Emperor of the Ultimate Palace.

"Young friend Xiao Ye is right. The threat of the Ultimate Palace is too great. At this moment, we should put aside our differences and first repel the martial artists of the Ultimate Palace."

"Let’s all join the fight."

...

At that moment, the Heavenly God Palace martial artists, who had been sitting steadily on the backs of flying fierce beasts, all commanded their beasts to charge forward, slaughtering the martial artists of the Ultimate Palace.

Seeing Qi Zhan and the Heavenly God Palace martial artists attack, the remaining martial artists exchanged glances. Many no longer hesitated, let out a loud shout, and rushed forward.

Surrounding the Unrivaled Peak, more and more martial artists joined the battle. The shock of combat swept in all directions, the deafening sounds echoing through the Nine Heavens, manifesting a scene of upheaval.

With over one hundred thousand martial artists from the Four Great States attacking together, how could the martial artists of the Ultimate Palace withstand it? In no time, they were defeated like a landslide, with scorching blood spilling in the air.

Even the Half-step Emperor of the Ultimate Palace found himself flustered due to the massed attack. He was shaken back by a sword hand from Qi Zhan and, taking advantage of the opportunity, was blasted with the Nine Dragon Holy Method by the Half-step Emperor’s body, causing him to spit blood and retreat wildly.

"Damn it, we really miscalculated this time!"

"It’s all because of this little beast!"

The Half-step Emperor of the Ultimate Palace was nearly driven mad with anger, glaring with hatred at Xiao Ye, who faced him with the Xiao Blade, wishing he could tear him apart.

Not only did Xiao Ye have a Half-step Emperor protecting him, with just a few words, he managed to get the martial artists from the Four Great States to put aside their differences and jointly attack their Ultimate Palace.

"This child poses a greater threat to our Ultimate Palace than Tie Xue. He must be killed someday!"

Looking out, he saw that the thousand martial artists who followed him from the Ultimate Palace were falling one after another under the assault of the martial artists from the Four Great States, his fists clenching with audible cracks.

Although both Xiao Ye and Tie Xue were young geniuses, their strength was terrifying. Specifically, Xiao Ye wielded the Xiao Blade to unleash the Storm Nine Slashes, revealing all his trump cards, causing him considerable headache.

Moreover, beside him were the Half-step Emperor’s body and Qi Zhan, eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey.

As a fellow Half-step Emperor, he was not so heaven-defying as to be able to defeat two Half-step Emperor combat powers simultaneously.

Once all the martial artists from the Ultimate Palace fell, he would undoubtedly perish under the combined assault of the martial artists from the Four Great States.

"Hmph, I’ll remember this debt for now. The forces that acted today will be avenged one by one in the future!"

The body of this Half-step Emperor flickered, employing a movement technique to evade the oncoming Qi Zhan and Half-step Emperor’s body, bringing forth boundless demon flames, crashing through the martial artists of the Four Great States along his path, and fleeing into the distance at incredible speed, even faster than Xiao Ye’s current use of the Emperor-level Body Technique, Wind and Fire Floating Steps.

A Half-step Emperor was actually scared away!

"Hmph, since you’ve come, stay!" Qi Zhan snorted coldly, crossing the Heavenly Dome in pursuit, equally swift and outstanding.

The two Half-step Emperors, one in front and one behind, disappeared from everyone’s sight.

"What a pity..."

"To let him escape, if the battle had lasted another hour, he would undoubtedly have fallen!" Xiao Ye thought regretfully but felt extremely exhilarated inside.

After acquiring the True Martial Physique, his transformations were significant, having battled a Half Emperor for so long, yet the Emperor’s Martial Intent remained robust.

Even using the Nine Dragon Holy Method, the power had enhanced notably, granting him control over the Half-step Emperor’s body effortlessly, allowing him to attempt other combat techniques Xifeng had mastered in life.

Now, with various trump cards at his disposal, he absolutely had the qualification to challenge a Half-step Emperor, perhaps the strongest martial artist below the level of Half Emperor.

"The True Martial Physique has many wonderful uses. Perhaps it can enable me to attempt performing the secret technique of One Thought Flower Blooms, Invincible Under the Sky, alongside the Four Emperor Skills."

"Furthermore, the energy from the True Martial Baptism last time still remains within me..."

Xiao Ye’s cold gaze was cast upon the remaining martial artists of the Ultimate Palace, then with a loud roar, he once again unleashed the Dayan Driving Heaven Technique and directly attacked.

The martial artists of the Ultimate Palace, having lost their will to fight after their Half-step Emperor fled, were unable to withstand the battle with now a Half-step Emperor level combat power joining in.

In less than half a stick of incense’s time, over a thousand martial artists from the Ultimate Palace had all fallen.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhan, who had been pursuing, also flew back, his burly body stained with quite a bit of blood.

The Half-step Emperor of the Ultimate Palace eventually escaped with a heavily wounded body.

At this moment, the gaze of the martial artists from the Four Great States quietly fell upon Xiao Ye.

As for the martial artists of the Xu Family, the Beidou Sect, the Green Dragon Four Brothers, Xu Teng, and others who had previously had conflicts with Xiao Ye, all quietly left.

In the previous battle, Xiao Ye’s performance outshone Tie Xue, seemingly the protagonist of this era, with Tie Xue reduced to a side character.

In the minds of many martial artists, though Xiao Ye and Tie Xue’s peak duel did not truly determine a winner, they believed that Xiao Ye undoubtedly won.

The forces wishing to win over Xiao Ye, such as the Heavenly God Palace martial artists from East State, opened their mouths at this moment but couldn’t bring themselves to speak.

If they had acted immediately when Xiao Ye was ambushed by the Ultimate Palace, they would have naturally won his favor and been able to draw him to their side as a matter of course.

But no one anticipated that Xiao Ye would have a Half-step Emperor by his side. When they finally took action, it was merely icing on the cake.

"Brother Xiao, words cannot express my gratitude." Tie Xue said seriously, once again thanking Xiao Ye.

One could say, if not for Xiao Ye, it was truly uncertain whether he would have survived.

"Tie Xue, our exchange of martial arts isn’t over yet." Xiao Ye smiled slightly, rendering Tie Xue momentarily stunned, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha, indeed, after exchanging martial arts, you and I must determine who is the victor."

"Brother Xiao, I have my own territory in East State, ensuring no disturbances. Why not come to my place?" Tie Xue suggested. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He was free-spirited and naturally wouldn’t be constrained by Xiao Ye saving him, refraining from their duel.

"Just as I wish." Xiao Ye nodded.

The jade talisman in his hand was about to shatter completely, the days of leaving the Ancient Era drawing near. He was eager to continue sparring and exchanging insights with Tie Xue, to enhance his martial arts enlightenment.

The next moment, these two of the era’s strongest geniuses smiled at each other and ascended into the sky, disappearing from Unrivaled Peak.

"Alas, it seems with our Pure Yang Alliance’s strength, we do not have the qualification to retain Xiao Ye..." Among the crowd, Shen Tu looked at the wistful Guo An’an, hinting at his words.

Upon hearing Shen Tu’s words, Guo An’an’s delicate body trembled, lowering her head involuntarily, her complexion darkened.
