NOVEL NEXT Chapter 688: The Brother of the Absolute Emperor
After the severe winter, it's already spring.
In the remote mountains of Central State where few tread, a sudden explosion of myriad rays of light burst forth like the rise of the sun, startling countless birds and beasts into flight and stirring up clouds of dust into the sky.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a black-robed youth sitting cross-legged, with three King Realms emanating different glimmers of light behind him. Two had already fused, and another, a blue King Realm surging with colossal waves, was approaching the fusion realm.
Boom—rumble!
As the fusion persisted, terrifying shockwaves swept out from the intersection of the merging King Realms, causing the ground within a ten-mile radius to tremble, as if struck by an earthquake.
Bang-crack!
Suddenly, like thunderclaps in a clear sky, all the boulders near the youth shattered into dust that scattered into the wind, with suffocating clouds of dust obscuring the sun.
In an instant, a ferocious wind rose, and Heaven and Earth changed color, as if doomsday had descended. The mighty Heavenly Tree near the youth was uprooted entirely.
"FUSE FOR ME!"
The youth suddenly opened his eyes, and a brilliant divine light burst forth from his pitch-black pupils. A purple light rose from his person, and his hands formed strange hand seals before furiously clapping together.
Boom—rumble!
As his hand seals met, the Water Attribute King Realm, which was originally producing an appalling repulsion, suddenly overlapped with the fusion realm.
The formidable repulsive force continued to propagate through the void like ripples on the surface of water, causing the ground itself to turn upheaved, as though bombarded.
Despite such fearsome repulsion, it was all withstood by the youth's physical body.
His body erupted with powerful blood qi, like an unending ocean surge, and with the repulsion gradually subsiding, all the commotion slowly vanished, leaving behind only the silent Three-in-One King Realm, floating in the void as if eternally present, emitting Chaotic Light.
Vaguely, one could see within this Three-in-One King Realm a figure with unparalleled elegance sitting cross-legged, gender indiscernible, yet exuding an aura of Supreme Sovereignty over all the realms.
Without a doubt, this black-robed youth is Xiao Ye, who has returned to Taiyi Palace.
"Finally succeeded in fusing the three King Realms together!" Xiao Ye laughed heartily.
He had long since left Bitter Cold Domain, and it had been one and a half months, but he has now successfully fused the three King Realms.
In fact, the main reason was that Xiao Ye initially intended to fuse the Earth, Fire, and Wind King Realms.
However, since the Wind King Realm absorbed the Unrivaled Emperor's Emperor's Blood, to avoid a failed fusion due to this factor, he replaced the Wind King Realm with the Water King Realm.
Precisely because of the incompatibility of water and fire, his path to fusing King Realms was fraught with challenges, but fortunately, he succeeded now.
Boom—rumble!
Xiao Ye attempted to circulate the Three-in-One King Martial Power, and instantly, a surge of King Martial Power to its ultimate peak burst out from the fusion realm, forming a tumultuous flow within his body.
"What terrifying power!" Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with shock, which then turned into ecstasy.
He had long guessed that after fusing three types of King Martial Power, his strength would surge to a terrifying level.
But he never imagined it would be this terrifying.
Based on his estimation, his mid-level King Martial Fourth Level cultivation, relying solely on this fusion of King Martial Power, would allow him to suppress middle-level King-level 5th Rank Martial Artists with ease and instantaneously defeat anyone within the same realm.
All his arduous efforts had indeed paid off!
"Haha, now I can return with confidence to participate in the Main Hall Disciples' assessment!" Xiao Ye rose to his feet, his eyes sparkling with astonishing War Intent. He seemed like a peerless Weapon freshly unsheathed, radiating an intimidating sharpness that was almost too brilliant to look directly at.
With his current cultivation and strength, passing the Main Hall's Disciple Assessments would be an absolute breeze.
If he were to use his trump card, Xiao Ye even felt confident enough to contend against the weakest array of Disciples in the Holy Palace.
"Let's go back!" Xiao Ye beckoned, tucking Little White into his embrace before flying out of the mountain ranges, landing on the back of the flying fierce bird outside the valley.
Under his command, the flying fierce bird let out a loud, piercing screech, soaring skyward with Xiao Ye on its back.
With yet another breakthrough in strength, Xiao Ye was in high spirits, choosing not to cultivate any further, but rather to enjoy the scenery below.
Time flashed by, and ten days passed in an instant. They were soon approaching the Taiyi Domain.
"Hmm, there's still plenty of time, no need to rush back. I can tour around a bit more before heading back," Xiao Ye thought to himself, slowing down the flying fierce bird.
Swoosh!
Just then, a sudden, violent whooshing sound pierced the air, and a glowing arrow shot explosively from the ground, piercing the chest of the flying fierce bird like a streak of light.
The beast let out a piteous screech, its wings drooping weakly as it began to plunge towards the ground below.
"Who is it!" Ice coldness seeped into Xiao Ye's gaze, filled with murderous intent as he stepped forward and flew up, surveying the area below.
He was quite content with this flying fierce bird; it had carried him all the way back here from the Bitter Cold Domain, and he owed it a great deal.
Now that someone had directly shot it down, how could he not be infuriated?
Below, a vast grassland stretched to the horizon, where a rather handsome and splendidly dressed young boy stood, exuding an air of arrogance, holding a bow.
As he saw the mighty flying fierce bird he had brought down with a single arrow, a triumphant smile spread across his face.
"Haha, the little master's Arrow Technique is becoming more formidable."
"Of course, the little master is, after all, the Emperor's son's brother. Despite his young age, he has surpassed most of the geniuses in the Absolute Emperor Domain."
"It seems the future of our Absolute Emperor Domain will only grow stronger."
...
Standing next to the young boy were numerous Martial Artists holding Weapons, who also laughed along, flattering him conspicuously. They had completely failed to notice Xiao Ye, who had been riding on the back of the flying fierce bird.
As Xiao Ye's strength and cultivation soared, his senses became incredibly sharp. Moreover, as these Martial Artists were not intentionally keeping their voices down, speaking with full breath, Xiao Ye could clearly hear their conversation from thousands of meters in the air.
Hearing their dialogue, his pupils constricted instantly.
The Absolute Emperor Domain!
These people actually belonged to the Martial Artists of the Absolute Emperor Domain, one of the Four Great Emperor Domains in Central State!
And based on their conversation, this young boy was the brother of the current Emperor's son of the Absolute Emperor Domain!
