Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1254 - 1237: Ice Mountain Battlefield

Looking out, in the seats of the Rainbow Bridge, the audience is divided into camps according to each sect, with terrifyingly powerful figures sitting upright.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are indeed the camps of the Four Great Empires.

The Four Great Empires are the most transcendent forces in the Central State, with a rich heritage; they have remained prosperous for years, continuously producing strong figures, and are considered the Martial Arts Sanctuary of the Central State. They are the most dazzling presence wherever they go.

The golden-haired, golden-eyed Wu Ming sat in meditation like an old monk in the camp of the Invincible Emperor Domain, seemingly unaware of Xiao Ye’s arrival.

"Only the Iron Blood and Invincible Emperor Domains’ lords came personally from the Four Great Empires?" Xiao Ye thought to himself.

When he was in the Invincible Emperor Domain, he had seen the domain lord of that empire, so he naturally recognized him.

As for the domain lord of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, although he hadn’t met him, the terrifying aura he released unknowingly was far beyond the Titled Emperor Martial. In the entire True Spirit Continent, he was definitely among the top tier, his identity unmistakable.

"I wonder, besides personally intervening to protect the Iron Blood Emperor’s son and helping him break through to the seventh level of the Emperor Realm, what other trump cards did the domain lord of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain pass to him?" Xiao Ye’s gaze swept over, and in the camps of the Unrivaled and Absolute Emperor Domains, he didn’t sense that aura surpassing the Titled Emperor Martial. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If all the Four Great Empires’ lords had come in person, then after his identity was exposed, even if he used all his cards, he wouldn’t think of breaking out.

But even so, with the domain lords of the Iron Blood and Invincible Emperor Domains in place, it still brought him immense pressure.

He looked again and saw many familiar faces in another camp.

In the center of this camp was none other than the Taiyi Palace Master. The Ten Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall were also listed here, and besides them, there was Elder Yang, who had once shown him kindness. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Although the younger generation of Taiyi Palace had appeared weak in recent years in the Central State, with some young without successors, Taiyi Palace’s heritage was here, still the top sect force in the Central State beneath the Four Great Empires, with many strong figures.

"Little guy, you really didn’t disappoint me!"

"This time, I will lead Taiyi Palace to strive to protect you."

Although Xiao Ye had never met the Taiyi Palace Master since coming to the Snow Domain, through Wu Ming, he already knew the true identity of the young man before him.

As Taiyi Palace’s most outstanding disciple in nearly a century, the Taiyi Palace Master had already regarded Xiao Ye as the hope to revive the younger generation of Taiyi Palace.

To put it bluntly, Taiyi Palace Master was gambling!

As long as Xiao Ye rose in adversity, becoming a Half-step Emperor, or even the fifth Great Emperor of the Human Clan, Taiyi Palace was sure to rise again because of Xiao Ye, surpassing the Four Great Empires wouldn’t be a problem!

Feeling the kind glance passed from the Taiyi Palace Master, Xiao Ye’s heart warmed. He again shifted his gaze, observing the strong figures of various sect forces on the Rainbow Bridge audience seats.

Besides the Four Great Empires, the controllers of sect forces qualified to observe the ceremony at the Ice and Snow Palace had basically come, showing the importance they attached to this duel.

"It’s really strange not to find any martial artists from the Divine Dragon Pavilion." After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Ye withdrew his gaze.

Because he had been ambushed by strong figures from the Ultimate Palace in the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain, he knew that the Divine Dragon Pavilion among the Central State forces had been secretly controlled by the Ultimate Palace, becoming a puppet force.

But now he didn’t find any personnel from the Divine Dragon Pavilion here.

Could it be that the Ultimate Palace did not intend to interfere with the decision of this arena duel?

"Never mind, I won’t think about it for now." Xiao Ye shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and instead closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the start of the third round of the arena duel.

In this vast Martial Arts Arena, besides the audience seats on the Rainbow Bridge around it, there were seats made of refined steel within the arena, known as Heavenly Pride Seats.

Looking around, the number of Heavenly Pride Seats exceeded thirty thousand, and quite a few young heroes had already taken their seats, such as Dongfang Huoqing, who sat at the forefront.

Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu passed through the Emperor Martial Protective Shield encompassing the ice glacier and sat beside Xiao Ye.

These young talents did not engage in conversation; instead, they quietly waited for the start of the arena duel.

As time passed——

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One after another, youthful figures appeared above the ice glacier, and under the guidance of the Ice and Snow Palace Great Elder, flew to and took their seats at the Heavenly Pride Seats. The strong figures from various forces in the audience only paid more attention to some of the young talents, while treating the others like air.

Finally, after two hours, no new young talents appeared.

Xiao Ye opened his eyes and looked, finding that the Heavenly Pride Seats were almost full, with about thirty thousand people, no more or less.

"Just an Emperor Martial Protective Shield eliminated half the people again? It seems this was intentionally arranged by the Ice and Snow Palace according to our strength," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

Yet, even with these thirty thousand young talents, it would take a long time if they participated in the arena battle.

Dong!

At this moment, a sonorous sound of a bell suddenly spread throughout the arena, making everyone quiet down and look towards the camp of strong figures of the Ice and Snow Palace.

There, in the center, the Ice and Snow Palace Master was enveloped in a faint mist, obscuring his appearance. He suddenly stood up, and a surge of energy burst forth from his body, which changed the color of the heavens and earth, sealing this vast ice glacier as if he were a god-like being.

"Is this the power of one of the top strong figures in the Central State? It’s too terrifying, probably could easily obliterate a Titled Emperor Martial!" Xiao Ye, seated at the Heavenly Pride Seat, felt overwhelming pressure, his heart pounding.

His strength was definitely among the top of the younger generation in the Central State, but compared to the strength of a strong figure like the Ice and Snow Palace Master, he was still far behind.

After all, who could become the ruler of a great sect without cultivating for a long time? Such power was naturally terrifying.

At this moment, the Ice and Snow Palace Master suddenly stretched out his right hand and made a grabbing motion towards the void.

Instantly——

哗啦啦!

The glacier began to tremble, and mighty rivers were seized from the depths of the Ice and Snow Palace, moving horizontally across the sky of the Martial Arts Arena. The surging river water spread, covering the entire heavenly dome. The roaring sound of the rivers shook the heavenly dome, causing the faces of the young talents to change dramatically.

嗤嗤嗤!

As the Ice and Snow Palace Master clapped his right hand again, these rivers were directly frozen, turning into towering ice mountains, which refracted the brilliant sunlight into seven colors, hovering in mid-air, just in the middle region of the Rainbow Bridge.

"This is the Ice Mountain Battlefield of the third round!" The Ice and Snow Palace Master said calmly.
