Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

A Ferocious Beast of Emperor Martial Realm!

Xiao Ye and the Martial Artists on the city walls all underwent a drastic change in complexion, their breathing becoming heavy as if they were shouldering a great mountain.

Roar and rumble!

The ground trembled ceaselessly, mixed with a scent of blood and brutality that spread through the air, billowing throughout the region.

Numerous Ferocious Beasts crouched on the ground, shivering, as if they had encountered a King.

Among humans on the True Spirit Continent, the strong are revered. This law of the jungle was even more thoroughly enacted among the beasts, with weaker Ferocious Beasts nothing but food for the mightier ones.

Though these Ferocious Beasts were numerous, the strongest was just at the realm of King Martial. Naturally, they had to submit to a Ferocious Beast of the Emperor Martial Realm.

Xiao Ye's heart quivered. Looking over, he saw a beast covered with crimson scale armor, over a hundred zhang tall, appear before everyone's eyes. Its enormous footprints shook the ground as it stepped down, stirring up the air in tumultuous waves, dust obscuring the sky, leaving deep imprints with every step.

"This is…"

Xiao Ye gasped in shock.

He had never seen such a massive Ferocious Beast before—it was terrifying.

The beast's eyes gleamed like lanterns, flashing with an intimidating ferocity, and its massive mouth emitted a low roar, akin to thunder exploding, its forbidding sharp teeth bared to the outside world.

It lowered its head to look at the group of Martial Artists led by Marquis Kuang, its giant eyes displaying a hint of contempt.

Clearly, this Ferocious Beast possessed Spiritual Wisdom.

With the appearance of this beast, the other Ferocious Beasts halted, no longer daring to attack the city.

"Everyone, concentrate your firepower and follow me to slay this beast!" At this moment, Marquis Kuang, in his white robe, with a grave look in his eyes, shouted loudly.

He knew that the greatest danger to the city was not the many, riotous Ferocious Beasts, but the Emperor Martial Realm Ferocious Beast in front of him.

If he could kill this beast, he could deter the other weaker beasts and resolve this crisis.

Otherwise, if they failed to deal with this Emperor Martial Realm Ferocious Beast, real catastrophe would be upon them.

Hence, a life-and-death battle ensued!

Marquis Kuang's analysis was spot on, and the other Martial Artists understood clearly as well.

Following Marquis Kuang's loud roar, they charged alongside him at the colossal Emperor Martial Realm Ferocious Beast.

A fierce battle, blood-stained, erupted once again!

A total of over fifty Martial Artists besieged the beast!

The other beasts did not intervene, or rather, they dared not to!

In the hierarchy of beasts, power equates rank. This Emperor Martial Realm Ferocious Beast was well beyond them in rank, arrogant with its strength. If they were to intervene, it would be a provocation.

Roar!

The colossal Emperor Martial Realm Ferocious Beast raised its head and roared, the air shaking violently as if the sky and earth could collapse at any moment, its gigantic paw lifting like a sweeping mountain, stirring up a terrifying wave in the air.

Pfft!

Two King Martial Realm Martial Artists, who charged with Marquis Kuang, simply couldn't withstand it and were directly squashed into a bloody dance; limbs and fragments fluttered down from the Heavenly Dome.

"You beast, watch me kill you!"

Marquis Kuang let out a furious roar, his entire body bursting with peerless divine light, as if embodying the will of Heaven and Earth, he charged at the ferocious beast with a killing blow.

This was a clash of powers belonging to the Emperor Martial Realm; Martial Artists of the King Martial Realm simply did not have the qualifications to intervene.

At this moment, Marquis Kuang fought to the brink of madness, unleashing all his firepower in a full-strength assault upon the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast, unwilling to show weakness, let out an enraged roar and its massive body unexpectedly became incredibly agile as it fiercely battled Marquis Kuang.

Crack crack crack!

The ground, unable to withstand such a terrifying collision, split open with countless fissures that blasted outward in all directions, dust billowing up, obscuring the sky, as layers of blood clouds covered the heavens.

Atop the city walls, Xiao Ye and the numerous Martial Artists participating in the trial all had their hearts pounding with fear.

Although this was the Illusion Realm, it was far too realistic, bringing them tremendous psychological impact; many first-timers turned pale and then voluntarily requested to leave.

Only Xiao Ye and a few others were still watching the battle intensely.

The outcome of this battle was almost predetermined; legend had it that both Marquis Kuang and the ferocious beast had fallen, with their final efforts protecting the city and earning the gratitude of the city's Martial Artists for a thousand years.

By now, Marquis Kuang and that Emperor Martial Realm ferocious beast had already reached a white-hot intensity in their battle; wherever they went, ferocious beasts were squeezed to bursting, turning into bloody mud.

This ferocious beast was truly formidable; Marquis Kuang executed a succession of Emperor Martial Battle Techniques, but they were still of little use, and the rebound even caused blood to drip from the corner of his mouth, which was utterly tragic.

Marquis Kuang's entire person was enveloped in a layer of flame, burning with the Life Fire, launching a final charge at the ferocious beast, a remarkably heroic act, leaving numerous wounds on the body of the beast.

Roar!

The ferocious beast also went berserk; its enormous body crushed down towards Marquis Kuang, as if Taishan mountain was pressing down, kicking up a horrific gale.

"Such an exceptional individual—if he had not fallen, perhaps he would have left behind a most splendid legend on the True Spirit Continent."

"Yes, to possess such strength as a Loose Cultivator, indeed, is not simple; even within our Sect, such cases are rare."

"What a pity."

...

At that moment, the disciples from the Major Sects on the city walls were all discussing animatedly, lamenting the destiny soon to befall Marquis Kuang.

At this instant, no matter who it was, one could not help but be emotionally moved by Marquis Kuang's sentiments.

"Is the outcome already determined?" A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes.

For some reason, he had been observing the ferocious beast for a long time and always felt something was off, a surging impulse spreading throughout his body.

"Although I wasn't born in the same era as Marquis Kuang, I also wish to fight alongside him, to see him through his final journey!" Xiao Ye thought to himself, taking out the Heavenly Incomplete Bow from his Space Ring.

Swoosh!

Instantly, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi grew violent, condensing into a colossal light arrow in his hands.

Boom crack!

As Xiao Ye released the bowstring, the massive light arrow transformed into a streak of light, piercing through layer upon layer of the void, exploding towards the vast Emperor Martial Realm ferocious beast.

"What!"

This sudden light arrow astonished everyone.

"Senior Brother Xiao Ye." Wang Hu looked at Xiao Ye, unable to hold back a mixture of laughter and tears.

After all, the ferocious beasts here were just illusions; what was the point of Xiao Ye doing this?
