Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1274 - 1257: You Can’t Kill Him

"What? Have you recognized me, and that’s why you’re angry?"

"If I had the same cultivation resources as you, you would have been no match for me long ago."

Nangong Xingyu coughed up blood, severely wounded, but his figure remained upright, staring at the increasingly gloomy face of the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, laughing heartily. The laughter was filled with desolation, possessing a carefree and unrestrained feel.

He was originally the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s contemporary Iron Blood Emperor’s son, becoming the most notable existence of the younger generation on the True Spirit Continent. However, he was robbed of that position by the opponent, falling from the divine altar and even forced to leave the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

He diligently cultivated, gaining an opportunity, all for the day he would personally defeat this opponent in front of him, to strongly respond to the decision made by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain back then.

"It really is you!"

"I didn’t expect you to be alive and return!"

"But fate is fate. Since you lost that position, you’ve been destined to be a loser, and today is no different. You’re doomed to be trampled under my feet!" The Iron Blood Emperor’s son’s expression turned fierce, and a chilling aura enveloped him. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

During the peak gathering of the younger generation back then, he already had suspicions about Nangong Xingyu’s identity, which was now completely confirmed.

Not only did the opponent return, but his strength was extraordinary, able to clash with him head-on without falling, wielding Emperor Realm Level 6 Mid Stage cultivation, which startled him greatly.

"Sky Shattering Hand!"

The Iron Blood Emperor’s son roared, causing the entire Star Battlefield to tremble. An overwhelming aura swept across, filling the Starlight Arena. The Blood Emperor’s body behind him almost merged with him, swallowing the world, once again shattering Nangong Xingyu’s All Heavens Star Map.

Nangong Xingyu, bathed in blood, pushed stars with both palms, facing challenges, and with his body severely injured, collided with the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.

The dialogue between Nangong Xingyu and the Iron Blood Emperor’s son spread, causing a huge uproar in the Rainbow Bridge spectator seats. Powerful figures from various forces were deeply shocked, and even the other three Emperor’s sons who had already participated in the battle were astonished.

"Who is this son? Could he have some connection with the Iron Blood Emperor’s son?"

"Haha... Haven’t you heard about the competition for the position of Iron Blood Emperor’s son back then?"

"What? Are you saying this son is the quasi-Emperor’s son from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain back then?"

"If I guess correctly, this son is indeed that quasi-Emperor’s son from back then."

"I heard that he fell into the Tianwu Sea back then, yet he’s appearing now, how strange."

"As the saying goes, great hardship brings future blessings. This son certainly has gained opportunities. His duel with the Iron Blood Emperor’s son is likely an attempt to regain lost dignity and honor."

"It’s truly a pity. This son’s cultivation talent is perhaps even superior to the current Iron Blood Emperor’s son. If he had received treatment similar to the Emperor’s son, his strength might have already surpassed the current Iron Blood Emperor’s son."

...

Various teasing, lamenting, and incredulous gazes all turned towards the powerful figures within the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s camp.

"Domain Lord, this guy didn’t die, what should we do?"

Listening to various discussions and the surrounding gazes, the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s strong figures turned livid and could no longer sit still.

Never did they imagine Nangong Xingyu would return, and become so accomplished, able to withstand the attacks of the Iron Blood Emperor’s son with such cultivation.

If this continues and the Iron Blood Emperor’s son can’t overcome Nangong Xingyu, it would disgrace the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, becoming a joke in the Central State.

Even the Iron Blood Domain Master was stunned by this news. Although his expression remained calm, his breathing became slightly rapid.

"It’s truly unexpected that he could cultivate to this level alone."

"But the dignity of my domain cannot be compromised by this son, so he must die."

"Emperor’s son, you know what to do." The Iron Blood Domain Master’s eyes gleamed coldly, transmitting a message to the Iron Blood Emperor’s son with earth-shaking methods.

Bang!

The Star Battlefield erupted with a world-shattering sound as Nangong Xingyu and the Iron Blood Emperor’s son simultaneously retreated.

The Iron Blood Emperor’s son’s black hair danced, his aura magnificent and untainted, with the Blood Emperor’s body standing behind him, seemingly a divine being coldly overlooking the mortal world.

In contrast, Nangong Xingyu’s robe was completely soaked in blood, half of his body bloodied, his face mask shattered, revealing a handsome yet pale visage.

To fight against the Iron Blood Emperor’s son until now without falling was already a miracle.

No one mocked Nangong Xingyu; there was only admiration and astonishment, reflecting on the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s past short-sightedness.

If today Nangong Xingyu and the Iron Blood Emperor’s son had equivalent cultivation, the outcome might have been completely different.

Although Nangong Xingyu didn’t defeat the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, he indirectly proved himself.

"Nangong Xingyu, we started from the same point back then, but today you’ve already been surpassed by me, unworthy to be my opponent."

"I’ve decided to use all my power to crush you, proving your failure and foolishness with your blood." The Blood Emperor’s body behind the Iron Blood Emperor’s son suddenly vanished, and a wave filled with mysteriousness swept out from him.

"Law Profound Mysteries?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed.

Since the Ice and Snow Palace Holy Daughter’s groom selection contest began, none of the Four Great Emperor’s Sons revealed the Law Profound Mysteries they had comprehended; it remained a secret.

Nangong Xingyu also felt the wave of Law Profound Mysteries, surrounded by dazzling starlight. Similarly, a powerful law wave soared, enveloping him. Instantly, all starlight within the Star Battlefield gathered towards him, converging into mysterious lotuses.

"Is it the Star Mysterious from the Natural Law among the Three Great Laws?"

"It’s rumored that Martial Artists who comprehend the Star Mysterious have not only strong attack power but also exceptional speed."

"He’s reached the Great Success realm, truly remarkable. One more step to the Perfect realm would elevate him to the Titled Emperor Martial level."

...

Feeling the aura emanating from Nangong Xingyu, the powerful figures in the Rainbow Bridge spectator seats marveled.

The profound mysteries of the Three Great Laws, like combat techniques, are divided into Intermediate, Great Success, and Perfect, and each level has five stages. Achieving Great Success in one mystery at Nangong Xingyu’s age is indeed impressive.

However, astonishment quickly gave way to the sound of gasps.

Boom!

Violent waves of Law Profound Mysteries surged from the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, intense lightning interweaving flickered, as if thunder raged across heaven and earth, causing everyone to be extremely shocked.

"Perfect realm’s Thunder and Lightning Profoundness from the Natural Law?"

"My God, the Iron Blood Emperor’s son already has the strength of a Titled Emperor Martial."

"No, the Iron Blood Emperor’s son’s talent is extraordinary, capable of battling across realms. His current strength already exceeds that of a regular Titled Emperor Martial."

...

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the Iron Blood Emperor’s son took to the sky, clenching a lightning-illuminated fist and blasted Nangong Xingyu away in a sweeping manner.

Puff!

Nangong Xingyu’s robe shattered, half of his body turned to charcoal, and his aura swiftly weakened.

Despite both having mysteries of the Natural Law, the gap between Great Success and Perfect is indeed immense.

Furthermore, he was severely injured, clearly not an opponent for the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.

"Hmph, if you had obediently stayed hidden, you’d have lived out your life peacefully, but by seeking death, this Emperor’s son will send you to hell today!" The Iron Blood Emperor’s son sneered coldly, like the Thunder God descending, pursuing fiercely to obliterate Nangong Xingyu.

At this very moment—

Boom!

A blood-red sword light pierced the universe sky, striking towards the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.

"With me here, you won’t kill him."
