Chapter 1552: Chapter 1535: Whose Era! (Fourth)
This all happened too quickly!
From Xiao Fan activating the Martial Arts Mark in the Purple Dragon Sword and gaining the inheritance of the Purple Dragon Sword Technique to repel Wu Feng, to the Unrivaled Domain Master seizing Xiao Fan’s Purple Dragon Sword, all of it occurred in a flash, leaving many spectator martial artists unresponsive.
It wasn’t until several moments after this calm voice propagated that many martial artists detected something unusual.
"Who is this person? To refer to the Unrivaled Domain Master as the Unrivaled Emperor’s son? Could he be a martial artist from the same era as the Unrivaled Domain Master?"
"It’s him! This person seems to be the strange individual who made his mark on the first few passes of the Ten Great Passes, his cultivation may be ordinary, but his strength is terrifying, even surpassing many Titled Emperor Martials, easily passing through several of the front Heroic Passes."
"So it’s him, with just Emperor Realm level six cultivation, yet daring to address the Unrivaled Domain Master like this? Even if he were from the same era, he should clearly know that the Emperor’s identity has changed significantly by now."
"Is he trying to stand up for Xiao Fan?"
...
The eyes of the spectator martial artists fell on the quietly emerging figure, his long hair cascaded, covering most of his face, as they whispered among themselves.
At this point, it was clear to everyone: the Unrivaled Domain Master had come personally to back Wu Feng, simply put, to ensure Wu Feng doesn’t lose.
Otherwise, why would the Unrivaled Domain Master rush to seize the Purple Dragon Sword after Xiao Fan forced Wu Feng back?
But until now, only the current figure questioned, ready to oppose the Unrivaled Emperor Domain and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty.
"You... who are you?"
Ignoring the discussions among the spectator martial artists, the Unrivaled Domain Master, seated stably inside the Dragon Chariot, appeared calm, but his palms were subtly trembling, his gaze filled with uncertainty.
This voice, he was too familiar with!
Before the eruption of Dark Turmoil, within the age of undefeated myth crafted by the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, it was this voice’s owner who ended it.
Later, the opponent stood like a massive mountain, pressing down on all young martial artists of the True Spirit Continent.
Even people ranked at the Emperor’s son level tried their best in cultivation, only to find themselves tragically left far behind as the opponent’s achievements were utterly beyond reach.
Has he returned?
But the aura and demeanor of the figure before him contrasted starkly with the person in his memory, as though they were two different people.
"What?"
"Unrivaled Emperor’s son, after becoming a Domain Master and a henchman under the Heavenly Emperor, have you become so arrogant and refused to argue with me?"
"Or is your so-called fairness just within your whim?"
As the Unrivaled Domain Master pondered, the calm voice echoed again, immediately stunning every face present.
Such audacity!
To dare call the Unrivaled Domain Master a henchman of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty? How could the countless martial artists of the Unrivaled Emperor Domain let this slide?
"Since you say this battle is unfair, why didn’t you suggest Xiao Fan abandoned using his sword before the duel began?"
"Furthermore, this so-called genius of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty, Wu Feng, achieved such cultivation not through personal hard work, but through secret techniques, do you think this is fair?"
"Unrivaled Emperor’s son..."
Striding forward, Xiao Ye looked up toward the Dragon Chariot mid-air, his long hair swaying despite still air, revealing his graceful face.
"You disappoint me!"
The calmly questioning voice rang out once again, like thunderclaps, shattering every martial artist into shock.
Silence!
The venue plunged into deathly stillness!
In the vast Hanling Pass, a pin drop could be heard!
Wu Feng was the pride of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty, guided by the Heavenly Emperor to achieve such accomplishments.
And the words from this person clearly questioned the Heavenly Emperor!
"It’s him!"
"Xiao Ye!"
"It’s Xiao Ye!"
"Oh my god, has Xiao Ye returned? Is he human or ghost?"
"How is it possible, wasn’t it said Xiao Ye had fallen? Why is he appearing now?"
...
After a brief silence, the noise surged back like a tidal wave.
Many martial artists trembled fiercely, eyes rounded as if they’d seen a ghost.
That graceful face—something they would never forget.
Before the advent of Dark Turmoil, the premier young figure of the True Spirit Continent, a peerless genius possessing the potential to proclaim himself Emperor in this world, Xiao Ye!
"Big brother!"
"Big brother, is it you?"
On the stage, blasted away by the Unrivaled Domain Master and stripped of the Purple Dragon Sword, Xiao Fan’s eyes reddened, crystalline tears brimming, uncontrollably overwhelmed.
"Something’s wrong!"
"This doesn’t seem to be Ye Zi, Xiao Fan, don’t act rashly."
Prince Donghuang and Zhuang Zhou, despite their excitement, quickly regained their composure.
"Xiao Ye, you’ve returned."
Facing Xiao Ye, the Unrivaled Domain Master was peculiarly calm, "I heard you fell during the Dark Turmoil, and I was saddened for a long time."
"Seeing you now, I really am happy."
"Though you survived, your body should harbor ailments, otherwise your cultivation wouldn’t have dropped to Emperor level six. I have many healing holy medicines here, feel free to take a few."
The Unrivaled Domain Master spoke, seemingly calm but lacking sincerity, more as a probing remark with a tonal jab.
What?
The Unrivaled Domain Master’s words spread, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
They scrutinized Xiao Ye, and many martial artists hurriedly unleashed their Emperor’s Martial Intent to blanket him, leading to many altering expressions again.
Xiao Ye’s cultivation... was only Emperor level six?
To know, nine years ago, when Xiao Ye mobilized the Central State’s Half Emperor to erase the Ultimate Palace, his cultivation had reached Emperor Realm Ninth Level Early Stage.
After nine years, how did it fall to Emperor level six?
Not just cultivation, Xiao Ye’s demeanor changed dramatically, now incredibly ordinary, indistinct within a crowd.
It seems the Unrivaled Domain Master was right; surely some irreparable injury was sustained during the Dark Turmoil, wounding his foundation, resulting in such a steep cultivation drop.
"Thanks for the concern, I’m fine." Responding calmly to the Unrivaled Domain Master’s seemingly mocking greetings, Xiao Ye internally reflected.
Having suppressed his past Tao and Law to appear felt like a world of enemies, numerous hostile auras roiling around him.
"Haha, Xiao Ye, weren’t you the foremost genius of the True Spirit Continent? How did your cultivation drop to this level?"
"Your era has ended; cooped-up old geezers like you should relax at home, yet you dare come out to spew such nonsense."
"Today I’ll use your blood to smash your doubts." Just then, a cold laughter ascended from Wu Feng, face twisted viciously, surrounded by perfect Wind Profoundness.
Seeing Xiao Ye’s cultivation fall to Emperor level six, how could he hold back?
"Big brother!"
Xiao Fan roared, rushing forward to intercept Wu Feng.
"Though my era has passed, this isn’t your era either."
"Seeing you’ve comprehended the Wind Profoundness, today I’ll show you what true Mysterious Power is."
Xiao Ye glanced indifferently at Wu Feng, stepped forth, "Wind come!"
