198: Chapter 197 Dual Dharma King Realm, Comparable to Half-Step Emperor

Emperor Teng spoke at great length.

A peerless Genius had lost to a small figure who rose from insignificance.

And that small figure, in Emperor Teng's description, practically swept through everything in his path, eventually growing to a height unparalleled throughout history.

Ye Xiu listened quietly without interrupting.

A long time later.

Only after Emperor Teng finished speaking did he sigh softly, "So the Immortal Realm was actually like that back then."

"The era that drove countless geniuses to despair has passed. Unfortunately, throughout the endless ages, no figure like the Heavenly Emperor has ever been born again."

Emperor Teng looked at the calm lake water, a hint of regret in his eyes that were otherwise as still as an ancient well.

Invincibility is lonely.

Back then, Gu, who could fight him to a standstill, had also disappeared into the Land of No Law.

"Senior, I won't disturb you any longer."

After the two had chatted for a long time, Ye Xiu spoke up to take his leave.

Just as he was about to depart.

Emperor Teng suddenly spoke, "Worthy brother, if you see the Heavenly Emperor in the future, could you pass a message for me?"

"Senior has such confidence in me?"

"Back then, I once saw the Lord of Guixu you mentioned. He entered the Boundary Sea and, with an extremely domineering posture, fought his way to the other shore. Unfortunately... in the end, he returned to the River of Time as a mere corpse."

"What do you mean, Senior?"

"Perhaps Reincarnation exists, and everything about you has already been predestined. Worthy brother, if you want to break the game, you must be bolder and crazier. Only then can you shatter the fixed shackles."

"..."

Ye Xiu looked at Emperor Teng, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to be crazier too.

But in this Boundary Sea where big shots run rampant, martial power is the only truth.

The Venerable Realm is very strong.

But it is only the Venerable Realm.

If he didn't make any big moves, he could naturally live a carefree life and remain the King of Great Xia forever.

However, every big shot he encountered was reminding him that he was the Reincarnation of the Lord of Guixu, living within a grand scheme.

This was quite depressing.

Seeing Ye Xiu's expression, Emperor Teng laughed loudly. "Worthy brother, do not worry too much. Walk your own path. Some things exist if you believe in them and don't if you don't. Reincarnation, haha... when your strength shatters the shackles, even Reincarnation must submit to you."

"..."

This Emperor Teng was probably beaten silly by the Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Xiu smiled awkwardly, waiting for Emperor Teng's subsequent words.

There was a long silence.

Emperor Teng then said solemnly, "I cannot leave the Western Region. Can you help me retrieve that corpse, worthy brother?"

Weren't you just about to pass a message?

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised. After considering for a moment, he nodded. If he really was going to the Land of No Law, bringing back a corpse along the way was no big deal.

...

...

Main World.

After Ye Xiu returned, he remained in a state of secluded cultivation.

The Heavenly Emperor Sutra could now be further cultivated, and with the guidance of the Martial Venerable, the future direction for the Heaven and Earth Law was also clear.

This period of seclusion.

Took a total of three hundred years.

The Heaven and Earth Law was the first to break through into the King Realm. Within the Main World, with Luck added to his body, his cultivation speed was shockingly fast.

Three hundred years was quite long.

But for others, to Cultivate from the Monarch Realm to the King Realm in just three hundred years was absolutely terrifying.

After all, even the seclusion time for Immortals often lasted thousands or tens of thousands of years, and they might not necessarily gain anything.

Yet Ye Xiu only took three hundred years.

He had already completed the cultivation that others needed countless ages to finish.

There have been countless prodigies throughout history.

Even the most monstrous figures required an unquantifiable amount of time to make progress between the Monarch and King stages.

But Ye Xiu's cultivation.

Felt more like restoring his cultivation; everything happened naturally, and there was never a single Bottleneck to speak of.

Crack...

His body was trembling.

Because the Heaven and Earth power had surpassed the Immortal power, the newly emerged great power began to show signs of instability.

"It seems I need to speed up the cultivation of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra."

Ye Xiu activated the ancient rune in his Sea of Consciousness and began to accelerate the refinement of his body, making the Immortal power increasingly solid.

A thousand years later.

A brilliant glow covered the Nine Heavens.

It descended into the Great Xia Royal Palace. Above the firmament, Luck transformed into an Auspicious Beast, roaring over the palace.

Boom...

Amidst a heavy vibration.

Ye Xiu completed this session of cultivation. With the Dual-Law King Realm, the unified great power was countless times stronger.

At this moment.

Even facing Emperor Teng, he might have the capital to fight.

"It's time to go to the Southern Region to complete the subsequent Cultivation Techniques of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra."

As the words fell.

The person had already vanished instantly, entering the River of Time.

"His strength has actually improved this quickly?"

The Human Sovereign's eyelids twitched; this young man was somewhat terrifying.

That terrifying aura had already surpassed the Peak Venerable Realm. He was likely not far from being a Half-Step Emperor.

Ye Xiu did not speak.

After nodding to the Human Sovereign, he directly entered the Boundary Sea.

Swoosh...

The Boundary Sea surged.

His speed was very fast; with one step, he had already crossed countless Domains.

"Who dares to intrude into the Southern Region?"

An Immortal had just shouted a rebuke when he instantly exploded. His Dao shattered, turning into bits of fluorescence that disappeared into the Boundary Sea.

There were many small interludes along the way.

The defenses of the Southern Region were much stricter than those of the Western Region where Emperor Teng resided.

However, as Ye Xiu released his full aura, the entire Southern Region immediately fell into a massive upheaval.

The path was completely unobstructed.

Not even a single Supreme Realm expert came out.

This made him somewhat surprised.

Were those three most ancient Immortal Venerables that cowardly?

Soon.

Ye Xiu's thoughts changed.

In an Immortal Kingdom, several Immortal Kings immediately became extremely obedient after being taught a lesson.

"Speak. Where are the Immortal Venerables? Why is there not a single Immortal Venerable in the Southern Region?"

"The Immortal Venerables disappeared long ago. They went to the Northern Region and never returned."

"So those three most ancient Immortal Venerables of the Southern Region are all nonsense?" Ye Xiu frowned slightly. If that were true, what would happen to his Heavenly Emperor Sutra? Wasn't this a trap?

After another careful interrogation.

The three Immortal Kings finally told the story of what happened back then from beginning to end.

Countless years ago, the Eastern Emperor returned. The three Immortal Venerables went to intercept him and apparently obtained some information from the Eastern Emperor's mouth.

After a period of secluded cultivation.

They all went to the Land of No Law together.

They have not returned to this day.

"Damn, they must have been screwed over by that bastard Eastern Emperor."

Ye Xiu was somewhat speechless.

His combat power had surged, and he just wanted to fight. What was he supposed to do now?

He did not make things too difficult for the three Immortal Kings here. He had swept through the Southern Region; perhaps before long, other forces would know the true situation of the Southern Region.

The Southern Region was about to fall into chaos.

The secret hidden for countless years had been punctured by Ye Xiu today.

Those forces that had been afraid of the three Venerables and dared not act would likely come to carve up the Southern Region's territory with great excitement.

Cultivation resources in the Boundary Sea were innumerable.

Even those in the Venerable Realm would choose to Cultivate in seclusion within the Boundary Sea, all for the sake of finding a chance for a Breakthrough within it.

Swoosh...

Ye Xiu stepped out of the Immortal Kingdom and returned to the Boundary Sea.

He looked toward the Northern Region, where wars had raged for years, and every place was a deathly Domain.

"It seems I need to prepare."

At the source of the River of Time.

The Human Sovereign looked at the returning Ye Xiu and couldn't help but be surprised. "Little friend, did you get it?"

"No, the three Venerables left the Southern Region long ago and went to the Land of No Law."

"As I thought. When the heavily injured Eastern Emperor was able to successfully leave their hands back then, I felt something was wrong. I didn't expect them to be set up after all."

"I plan to make a trip to the Land of No Law."

Ye Xiu looked at the Human Sovereign, waiting for this Human Race Senior to give him some pointers.

Hearing this.

The Human Sovereign was not surprised. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke. "Go find the Eastern Emperor first. You've seen the thing beneath Fengdu City. Rescue it and exile it to the Boundary Sea. It will take you to the other shore."

"Senior is far-sighted. This Junior is full of admiration."

Ye Xiu cupped his hands. No wonder the Ominous Malice had been able to live until now; it turned out to be the Human Sovereign's plan.

"Little friend, if it cannot be done, then retreat."
