Chapter 434 – Merge! (1/2)
Yang Ye didn’t return immediately to the southern territory upon obtaining the Darkbeast Empire’s a.s.sistance, and he started concentrating on cultivation combat techniques instead. The reason he hadn’t rushed back immediately was that the actions of the Grand Qin Empire and the six great powers of the southern territory were truly too strange. According to his evaluation, it wouldn’t be too long before war would definitely erupt between these two parties!
Yang Ye’s plan was to seize the opportunity created by when the Flower Palace, Origin School, and the other sects were at war with the Grand Qin Empire to return to the southern territory. It was best if it was possible for him to destroy the Flower Palace, and even if he couldn’t, he still wanted to strike a heavy blow to it!
At this moment, he had the ability to go against the Flower Palace, and all he lacked was an opportunity!
Yang Ye sat cross-legged in the cultivation room that the Beast Emperor had arranged for him, and Dragonbone floated silently in front of him. Besides Dragonbone, there were also the Nether Ghostflame, Ninth h.e.l.l Cold Gale, and Violetcloud Lightning!
There was no need to question the might of the three Natural Treasures, but Yang Ye was unable to utilize their might to its greatest potential, and it had always been something that he felt quite depressed about. If he wanted to bring forth their full might, then he had to fully familiarize himself with them like the Sword Spirit of the ancient sheath had told him earlier, and it was best if he could form a mental link with them!
He could control the three of them now, but he was unable to form a mental link with them, and it was the exact reason why he was unable to fully utilize the might of these three Natural Treasures!
Even though he couldn’t form a mental link with them right now, he was on the verge of it. After all, they’d been nourished and nurtured within his tiny vortex all day and night, so a link more or less existed between him and the three Natural Treasures. Just like this very moment, he faintly sensed that the Nether Ghostflame seemed to be very annoyed by the Violetcloud Lightning, and if he wasn’t suppressing it, then the Nether Ghostflame would have probably started fighting with the Violetcloud Lightning!
That was also the thing that Yang Ye felt the most depressed about. Because the Nether Ghostflame could merge together with the Ninth h.e.l.l Cold Gale, but it couldn’t merge with the Violetcloud Lightning. So long as the Violetcloud Lightning was added in, then the Nether Ghostflame would immediately resist it, and this made Yang Ye feel very helpless. Otherwise, how formidable would their combined strength be if they were to merge together?
He would probably be able to kill an Exalt Realm expert even without utilizing the Sword Domain!
It was very difficult to merge the three Natural Treasures together, but Yang Ye didn’t choose to give up. He was determined to merge them together and create a new technique!
Yang Ye opened his eyes slowly, and then he activated the Sword Domain because he only dared to ‘play’ fearlessly with the three Natural Treasures while within his Sword Domain. If he were outside of it, then even he would probably die if they went berserk! The incident where he was heavily injured by the Nether Ghostflame that was attached to the sword formation was still fresh within his memories!
He was like a sovereign within his Sword Domain, and even the three Natural Treasures wouldn’t be able to harm him at all if they were to explode in front of him!
The three Natural Treasures started to get closer to each other under Yang Ye’s control. However, the Nether Ghostflame and Violetcloud Lightning had exploded apart as soon as they came into contact. The Sword Domain was instantly filled with an expanse of lightning and flames. Moreover, the Ninth h.e.l.l Cold Gale seemed to have been provoked as well, and it transformed into countless tiny tornados that appeared within the Sword Domain as well!
Yang Ye’s eyelids twitched as he gazed at this scene. Fortunately, I utilized the Sword Domain, otherwise, just this alone would probably be horrible even if I have the Mortal Emperor Armor and my physical defense to protect me!
He was aware that the three Natural Treasures rejected each other, so he wasn’t dispirited at all. He started to gradually split them up, and then he started to slowly make them merge again….
The Imperial Palace of the Grand Qin Empire.
At this moment, 23 middle aged men were standing within the hall, and it was the Founding Ancestor who stood at the front of the hall. Every single one of the 23 middle aged men were at the Exalt Realm, and nine of them were actually the nine renowned marquises of the Grand Qin Empire. The nine marquises controlled the nine states and a million troops. Besides that, every single one of them was an Exalt Realm expert. The weakest amongst them was at the fifth rank of the Exalt Realm while the stronger was at the peak of the Exalt Realm!
On the other hand, the remaining 14 were figures who wielded great authority in the empire. Like Li Si and Bai Qi. Even though they didn’t command a million strong like the nine marquises, they commanded the most elite forces of the empire. For example, Bai Qi managed the Bloodbath Camp. Even though the Bloodbath Camp only possessed a few tens of thousands of members, the weakest amongst them was at the King Realm while there were countless Spirit Realm experts amounts them!
In short, the existences standing within the hall were those that wielded the most power in the Grand Qin Empire!
“Li Si, what do you think of the Origin School and the other sects trying to annihilate the Sword Sect!?” The Founding Emperor’s gaze descended onto Li Si as he spoke indifferently.
Li Si pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “I think that there’s some sort of plot behind all of this. The Origin School and the others aren’t idiots, yet they still dared to continue attacking the Sword Sect even when our Grand Qin Empire summoned all its elite forces back. I presume that they are unafraid and have something to rely on. It’s even to the extent that I think that they are intentionally baiting us to attack them. But I’m puzzled, why would they act in that way? Could it be that they intend to destroy our Grand Qin Empire this time?”
“Them?” Bai Qi grunted coldly and said, “Our empire possesses a billion troops. There are no less than a million King Realm profounders, a few tens of thousands of Spirit Realm profounders, and over 100 Exalt Realm experts amongst these troops. Moreover, we have our emperor presiding over all of these forces. What would we have to fear even if the six sects were to join forces? We would still crush them!”
Li Si shook his head and said, “Those sects can’t be underestimated, especially the Origin School. It has existed for over 10,000 years, and it possesses enormous resources and reserves. Moreover, their forces have infiltrated our empire as well. Numerous clans within our empire have sided with them, so if we really were to enter into war, then a rebellion would definitely arise within our empire itself!”
