Both were top-tier Heaven Realm Martial Emperors, yet their strengths varied. The Black Absolute Emperor from Black Tower, whose famous skill "Devil Heart Ghost Finger," ranked twenty-second on the Heaven List of the Flying Horse Dynasty.
The average martial prowess of the Flying Horse Dynasty was no less than that of the Bei Liang Dynasty, so on the surface, the strength of Black Absolute Emperor surpassed that of Fla Sun Great Emperor by a margin.
In fact, as Shi Xiaole analyzed, the gap between the two was far greater than just a small fraction. Perhaps, after many years, the Black Absolute Emperor had encountered so fortune that even his aura seed to slightly outshine the Fla Sun Great Emperor.
"Black Absolute, who has provoked you?"
Outside the mountain forest lined with stone walls, Thunderbolt Emperor t the sullen-faced Black Absolute Emperor.
After avoiding the Golden Bee, Thunderbolt Emperor stumbled upon a relic and reaped great benefits, so he was in a good mood, inevitably tinting his tone with a hint of teasing.
The corner of Black Absolute Emperor’s mouth twitched: "There are not many who can provoke , but in the end, they all died."
Thunderbolt Emperor’s eyes flickered. The Tang Sect and Black Tower were both part of the Red Dust Three Marvels, sharing no small amount of interaction. Thunderbolt Emperor knew clearly that when Black Absolute Emperor uttered these words, it ant that he had harbored the intent to kill.
Given the other’s martial power, honestly speaking, even though Thunderbolt Emperor had obtained a high-grade spirit saber, he would not wish to face him. Across the entire Heavenly Desire Origin and the Flying Horse Dynasty, there were no more than twenty people who could defeat Black Absolute Emperor!
"Who exactly blinded by greed has offended you? Speak up, perhaps if I encounter them, I can lend a hand."
Thunderbolt Emperor said with a smile.
Friendships are forged through assistance; one never knows when they might need help from others. Thunderbolt Emperor secretly decided that if the matter was not too troubleso, he could offer Black Absolute Emperor so support.
Black Absolute Emperor glanced at him, and this ti the smile on his face grew a bit thicker: "I don’t know who he is, but he’s very young, dressed in blue clothes, with inexplicably two strands of white hair beside his temples. His strength is decent, perhaps capable of withstanding a hundred moves from you."
Black Absolute Emperor had entered Heavenly Desire Origin over a hundred years ago and had not left it since, naturally unaware of what had happened on the outside.
"I’ll rember that. If I run into him, I’ll surely notify you with a signal flare."
After chatting for a few more sentences, they parted ways. Only after Black Absolute Emperor had gone far did Thunderbolt Emperor’s smiling face turn into a wry smile, shaking his head incessantly.
Although he had t Shi Xiaole only once, having heard too many stories about him and witnessing what had happened during that ti, Thunderbolt Emperor could not help but marvel at Shi Xiaole’s talent and his uncanny ability to cause trouble.
Not to ntion the incidents in Daxia Imperial City and Nine Profound Mountain, it was said that not long ago, two Heaven Realm Martial Emperors vanished from both Dragon View Ridge, Oblivion Assembly, and Blood Emperor’s lair. In total, six Heaven Realm Martial Emperors disappeared, suspected to have been slain. There was a prevailing sentint that Shi Xiaole was the perpetrator.
Even without ntioning that, let’s just talk about Heavenly Desire Origin. In such a short ti, he successively got into life-or-death conflicts with both Fla Sun Great Emperor and Black Absolute Emperor.
Thunderbolt Emperor prided himself on being hot-headed, but looking back over the past thousand years, the number of Void Origin Realm warriors he had offended was limited, let alone Heaven Realm Martial Emperors.
Swish swish.
Just as he was about to leave, two terrifying figures landed before him.
"Four Symbols Sword Emperor, Unfathomable Leg Emperor."
Thunderbolt Emperor was first stunned, and then he greeted them with a hearty laugh.
In the Void Origin Realm circle, allegiances had long transcended dynastic boundaries, especially since the Jin Yuan Alliance had been holding Martial Emperor gatherings of various sizes over the years. Thus, Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors from the three great dynasties were, for the most part, acquainted with each other.
Especially the Four Symbols Sword Emperor and Unfathomable Leg Emperor, these first-rate Heaven Realm Martial Emperors were ranked among the top hundred experts of the three great dynasties. It was difficult for others not to know of them.
"Thunderbolt Emperor, I want to ask you about soone."
Four Symbols Sword Emperor spoke indifferently.
"Who is it, please tell . I will spare no detail in my explanation."
Such an opportunity to curry favor was sothing only a fool would refuse.
"A very young lad, probably a swordsman too, dressed in blue clothes. I wonder if he dyed two strands of white hair on purpose, thinking he looks cool."
The tone of Four Symbols Sword Emperor was icy. If Shi Xiaole were in front of him, he swore he would cleave him with his sword.
That was the Three-Life Flower, sothing he had been searching for arduously over hundreds of years. If he could consu it, the accumulated injuries in his body would heal, and he might even be able to reach a higher level.
Seeing the murderous looks of Four Symbols Sword Emperor and Unfathomable Leg Emperor, Thunderbolt Emperor was at a loss for words, but still, he pretended to be surprised: "Why didn’t you say so sooner? I just saw that lad not too long ago. If I had known he had a feud with you two, I would have caught him right there!"
Unfathomable Leg Emperor said, "Thunderbolt Emperor, if you can capture that lad, you would have my deepest gratitude."
Four Symbols Sword Emperor expressed a similar sentint, but when Thunderbolt Emperor inquired about their specific grievances with Shi Xiaole, the two gave nothing away and swiftly took their leave.
"It seems the Kirin Sword Emperor must have obtained sothing valuable to have attracted such covetous attention, alas."
Although treasure is enticing, one must also have life to enjoy it. With the Ice Emperor’s ambiguous actions in the past, the pursuit by Black Absolute Emperor, Four Symbols Sword Emperor, and Unfathomable Leg Emperor’s joint efforts, if Shi Xiaole were smart, he would leave this place of trouble at the first chance. Otherwise, he might not even know how he died. Yet now, no one can escape, and it seems it has beco a deadly trap.
"Perhaps I can lend him a hand, invest early."
The Thunderbolt Emperor mulled over the idea in secret.
...
After escaping from the mountains and forests, Shi Xiaole traveled thousands of miles away. Thanks to the enveloping desire Qi of the Heavenly Desire Origin, the perception of most people couldn’t extend that far, which facilitated his escape.
Half a 2-hour period later, Shi Xiaole stopped in a dark fog forest.
This black fog was even more capable of stirring the desires in one’s heart than the Qi of desire, to the point that even Shi Xiaole nearly succumbed to it. He struggled for more than a 2-hour period before slowly adapting to it.
Along the way, he occasionally saw martial artists lying on the ground, their faces showing expressions of intoxication, obviously trapped in illusory realms from which they couldn’t extricate themselves. This state could not be interrupted by outsiders, and there was only one outco for them: they would silently die.
Walking deeper into the dark fog forest where no human traces were found, Shi Xiaole believed that even the Black Absolute Emperor and his two companions wouldn’t dare to set foot here.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Shi Xiaole first checked the Three-Life Flower. Although the system space couldn’t accommodate living people, it could maintain the state of other things without any changes.
Thus, even if he returned to Nine Profound Mountain, the Three-Life Flower wouldn’t lose its efficacy.
Shi Xiaole spread out his hand, revealing a li-colored bracelet covered with spots, looking like it was carved from granite. But amidst the rough and simple appearance, there was a sense of being naturally ford.
It was the Imasurable Jade Ring from the legends of the Martial World.
"The quality of the Imasurable Jade Ring varies, so can increase one’s cultivation by several decades, others by several centuries. The best one recorded in the Martial World increased a Martial Emperor’s cultivation by a thousand years,"
Shi Xiaole examined the Imasurable Jade Ring in his hand.
If it only increased his cultivation by several decades, offending the Black Absolute Emperor for it, to be honest, wouldn’t be worth it. But at that mont of crisis, there was no ti for discernnt. He couldn’t just let go of such an opportunity out of fear, could he?
"Hopefully, I’ll have a bit of luck."
Since becoming a Void Origin Realm Martial Emperor, Shi Xiaole’s Vigorous Air hadn’t improved much, because at this level, one was infinitely close to tapping into the body’s second potential wellspring.
The body’s first potential wellspring is situated between the Seventh Tier and Eighth Tier Earth Immortal, where breaking through can grant one four hundred and eighty years of cultivation [Chapter 803]. When it cos to the second wellspring, it can’t be asured by the cultivation of Terrestrial Immortals, and it’s bound to be astonishingly powerful, making improvents difficult.
Most Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors, if they don’t encounter a great opportunity, would focus on martial arts and martial paths, where progress tends to be faster.
The last thing Shi Xiaole feared was martial arts and martial paths, but he wanted more than just that; he aspired to be unrivaled in the Martial World, invincible under the heavens. Therefore, he must beco the strongest in all aspects, and he couldn’t neglect his Vigorous Air.
Closing his eyes, Shi Xiaole silently cultivated the "Purple Blood Great thod."
Streams of spirit Qi, so pure that they were the pinnacle of purity, surged from the Imasurable Jade Ring into Shi Xiaole’s body. At first, they were like trickling streams, long and delicate. Then they beca like lakes and streams, ceaselessly flowing, and finally, they turned into vast rivers, raging and surging, filling every channel and ridian in Shi Xiaole’s body.
This was when the superiority and inferiority of the vortex system beca apparent.
It should be noted that the Vigorous Air Vortex of a Void Origin Realm Martial Emperor is already full. Suddenly receiving an enormous amount of spirit Qi is like water rushing backwards through a canal. In a mild case, the vortex would be damaged, leading to deviation and madness; in the worst case, all ridians would be severed, and life would be at risk.
Shi Xiaole was both very lucky and unlucky at the sa ti. This Imasurable Jade Ring contained a hundred years of spirit Qi. Even with one of the best Vigorous Air Vortices in the world, it couldn’t hold all of this spirit Qi, and he had to absorb it gradually.
But his Vigorous Air Vortex was exceptionally robust, like an unfathomable abyss. No matter how much spirit Qi was poured into it, not a hint of pain was felt; all that existed was an extre sense of comfort and exhilaration.
As the Imasurable Jade Ring gradually turned to ash, Shi Xiaole’s Vigorous Air kept strengthening. In the obscurity, he sensed an invisible barrier blocking his increase in strength.
Hiss!
His ridians experienced a tearing pain, but remained as resilient as ever. Shi Xiaole silently thanked Ren ngzhen.
If it weren’t for the other’s implantation of the dium of the Sun’s Blood, letting aside Vigorous Air, his body and vitality wouldn’t be this strong. He probably would have struggled to consecutively use "Evil Blood Calamity."
Guiding the completely absorbed Vigorous Air, Shi Xiaole endured the pain and kept striking at that invisible barrier. During this process, to ensure success in one go, he even took out dozens of spirit dicines that increased vitality from his system space and swallowed them in one mouthful.
Half a 2-hour period.
One 2-hour period.
At the end of the second 2-hour period, a faint rumble suddenly resounded deep within the black fog forest. A furious montum soared to the sky, dispersing the fog and forcefully creating a straight path several zhang wide.
Below the path, Shi Xiaole, drenched in sweat, opened his eyes. In an instant, it was as if two peerless swords flashed by, exceptionally bright and cold.
"I didn’t expect the second vortex division to happen so quickly."
Different vortex systems can undergo different numbers of vortex divisions. Just now, after Shi Xiaole broke through the second potential wellspring, his Vigorous Air Vortex underwent its first division, increasing from four hundred and nine to four hundred and fifty-six.
