202: Chapter 201 Instant Fame, Known Throughout the Land

White light exploded, and hundreds of Sea Clan elites instantly turned to ashes, not even having time to let out a scream.

The Holy Master of Beiming suddenly opened his eyes, staring intently in the direction from which the white light had come.

The Four Domains Coalition raised their heads in unison, a glimmer of hope igniting in their eyes.

In the distant sky, a massive golden flying boat broke through the clouds.

The flying boat flowed with vibrant light all over, its hull engraved with intricate formation runes. Three giant cannon barrels extended from the bottom of the boat, their muzzles still emitting wisps of blue smoke.

Standing at the bow was a man in a black dragon robe, his long hair flying and his robes fluttering—it was none other than Xiao Ye.

"What is that?!" The Sea Clan Elder's pupils shrank suddenly.

"aurora warship—fire!" At Xiao Ye's command, the three giant cannons roared in unison. Three beams of white light, like roaring light dragons, tore through the sky and blasted directly into the densest part of the Sea Clan army.

Wherever the white light passed, space tore open into pitch-black rifts. Fifth- and sixth-grade sea beasts were as fragile as paper in the white light; flesh and blood flew, shattered bones splattered, and a giant whirlpool was blasted into the sea surface within a thousand-zhang radius.

With one shot, over a thousand Sea Clan elites were annihilated; with two shots, the Sea Clan army's formation collapsed; with three shots, even a Sea Clan Elder at the Mahayana Early Stage was blasted to the point of spitting blood and fleeing in panic.

The Sea Clan army was thrown into complete chaos.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals cried out for their parents as they scattered and fled; the high-grade sea beasts were frightened by the cannon fire, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and they turned and ran.

The four Elders at the Earth Immortal Early Stage were also deterred by this terrifying cannon fire, for a moment not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Reinforcements! The reinforcements have arrived!" Earth-shattering cheers erupted from the camp of the Four Domains Coalition. Countless Cultivators had tears welling up in their eyes; some knelt and kowtowed, some laughed up at the sky, and some held the corpses of their comrades, weeping heartbreakingly.

They had waited for a month, and finally, it had arrived.

"Xiao Ye!" Master Wujizi looked up at the golden flying boat, his eyes slightly red and his voice trembling. "You brat, you're finally here."

"I'm here." Xiao Ye jumped down from the flying boat, landed beside Master Wujizi, and patted his shoulder. "You've worked hard. Leave the rest to me." Master Wujizi opened his mouth, his throat tight with emotion, but he only nodded and stepped aside.

Xiao Ye turned around and looked deep into the Sea Clan army. There, two terrifying auras were slowly rising—the Black Dragon King and the Blood Demon, two powerhouses of the Earth Immortal Middle Stage, standing side by side, looking down at the battlefield with cold eyes.

"Earth Immortal Middle Stage? Interesting." Xiao Ye's lips curled into a grin. With a wave of his hand, the taihuang sword unsheathed, its Sword Intent soaring to the heavens.

He took a deep breath. Crimson Flame Blood-Burning Technique, Desolate Tyrant Body, Super Sailei Transformation—all buffs were fully activated. His black hair turned red inch by inch, and his aura surged like a rocket, skyrocketing from the Mahayana Peak Stage straight to Earth Immortal, all the way to Earth Immortal Middle Stage, standing on equal footing with those two figures.

"aurora warship, cover me. My beloved concubines, fall back," Xiao Ye said calmly. Tapping his toes, his entire being transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, rushing straight toward the Black Dragon King and the Blood Demon.

"You court death!" The Black Dragon King roared, extending his dragon claw, which carried world-destroying power as it slapped toward Xiao Ye. The Blood Demon cackled weirdly as a blood-colored Blood Refining Grand Array condensed in his palm, descending upon Xiao Ye's head.

With the combined strike of two Earth Immortal Middle Stage powerhouses, space shattered, seawater surged backward, and even the heavens and earth changed color.

Instead of retreating, Xiao Ye advanced. Sweeping the taihuang sword, he cleaved open the Black Dragon King's dragon claw with a single strike, while his left hand punched toward the Blood Demon's Blood Refining Grand Array. "Boom!" As the fist and palm collided, an airwave exploded, raising towering waves that spanned a hundred miles.

Xiao Ye was shaken back several steps, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, yet he grinned and said, "A bit interesting."

He rushed forward once more. His sword light was like a sheet of silk and his fist shadows were like collapsing mountains. Fighting one against two, they battled until the heavens grew dark and the earth turned dim. The Black Dragon King's dragon scales were cleaved off piece by piece, and the Blood Demon's Blood Refining Grand Array was blasted to smithereens.

The two grew more and more alarmed as they fought—how did this human grow stronger the more he fought?

"Wh... Whose general is this? To be so courageous?!" The Holy Master of Beiming stood on the city wall, staring dumbfounded at the figure who still held his ground even under the siege of two Earth Immortal Middle Stage powerhouses.

"Xiao Ye! The Emperor of Daqian!" From Master Wujizi's mouth, the Holy Lord of Tianji learned of Xiao Ye's background.

"He... he can actually fight on par with the Earth Immortal Middle Stage?" The Holy Lord of Tianji's voice was trembling.

The Cultivators of the Four Domains Coalition felt their blood boil as they watched. One after another, they gripped their weapons tightly, shouting as they charged forward.

Xiao Ye stood like an insurmountable barrier, holding back the two Earth Immortals by sheer force and creating an opportunity for the allied forces to launch a counterattack.

The Sea Clan army collapsed completely.

The four Elders at the Earth Immortal Early Stage fought desperately to cover the retreat, but they were slain one by one by the joint forces of the Four Great Holy Masters.

That thousand-zhang-long North Sea whale tried to escape but was hit squarely in the head by a shot from the aurora warship. Its massive body crashed down, kicking up towering waves.

The Black Dragon King feinted a move and withdrew, seeing that things were going south.

The Blood Demon also transformed into a streak of bloody light and escaped into the deep sea.

Xiao Ye did not pursue. Drenched in blood and with his robes tattered, he stood atop the ocean waves, holding the taihuang sword, and laughed heartily toward the sky.

"Long live Emperor Xiao! Long live Emperor Xiao!" The Cultivators of the Four Domains Coalition knelt in unison, kowtowing toward that figure.

Old tears streamed down the Holy Master of Beiming's face; he had finally waited for the savior.

No, he had waited for the reinforcements.

Xiao Ye put away his sword and turned to walk back to the flying boat. A-Diao descended from the sky, let out a "ji" sound, and spat out a stream of sparks, as if to say: "Big Daddy, you were so handsome today."

Xiao Ye patted its head and said with a smile, "When is this Emperor not handsome?"

A-Diao rolled its eyes, thinking: "Your skin is thicker than the armor of the aurora warship."

In the distance, the defeated Sea Clan army fled back to the deep sea. Four Elders at the Mahayana Peak Stage knelt before the Black Dragon King, their faces ash-pale.

The Black Dragon King sat on his throne, his face dark and golden light flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Demon stood to the side, his expression equally grim.

"This human... what on earth is his background?" the Black Dragon King asked in a deep voice.

"Investigate! Investigate this thoroughly for this king!" The Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

In the distance, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing half of the sea surface red.

Standing on the flying boat, Xiao Ye gazed at the gradually calming sea to the north, his lips curling up slightly.

Famous in a single battle, known to the world.

From then on, no one in the Central Continent would dare to look down on him.
