Chapter 287 - The Boundary Of The Starry Sky, Farewell To Old Friends. (1/2)

The kings were furious, but at that moment, they could only suppress it.

That was because if they did not suppress it, it meant death.

"Why aren't you getting lost?"

The venerable White Tiger shouted. The kings gritted their teeth, but in the end, they could only turn around and leave.

A crisis was resolved.

The moment the Azure Dragon appeared, everything was set.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to the Azure Dragon.

"Azure Dragon, it's all thanks to you this time. If it wasn't for you, the few of us might not have been able to handle it."

The Azure Dragon did not reply. He only spoke indifferently,

"That child, what realm has he advanced to?"

The Black Tortoise replied with a gratified smile,

"He has already advanced to the peak of the King realm, the lesser Emperor realm. He only needs a sliver of comprehension to make up for that final step and he'll be able to step into the emperor realm completely."

The Azure Dragon pondered for a moment.

"In a month, let that child fight with me. I will use my lifetime of martial arts experience to help him advance to the Emperor realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Dragon turned around and left.

Those words were like a heavy bomb that rang in everyone's ears.

Li Liushui widened his eyes and said in disbelief,

"Venerable... Venerable one, what did Sword Emperor Azure Dragon say just now?"

The venerable Black Tortoise sighed faintly.

"Didn't you hear? He wants to be a stepping stone for Ye Xiao, using his lifetime of martial arts experience to help Ye Xiao advance to the final step."

Li Liushui was so shocked that he could not speak.

What kind of honor was that?

Sword Emperor Azure Dragon, the dignified number one person in the Nine Provinces, and even the number one person in the world wanted to use himself as a stepping stone to help Ye Xiao advance to the Emperor realm.

How much determination did Azure Dragon have to make?

To be able to achieve that step?

His dignity and honor would be trampled under Ye Xiao's feet.

However, those could not actually be said to be the most important.

The most important thing was Azure Dragon's heart of martial arts!

It was best for a martial artist to keep moving forward, without any inner demons binding and restraining him.

If Azure Dragon lost to Ye Xiao, then his heart of martial arts might be affected.

Although it could not be said that he would definitely not be able to advance to the Emperor realm in the future, that would undoubtedly reduce his chances of advancing to the Emperor realm.

It could be said that if he really did that, it would be tantamount to using his high chance of becoming an emperor to help Ye Xiao advance. From then on, his chances of advancing would become low.

All of this was done by him on his own initiative.

What kind of noble character was that?

In truth, only the Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and the other two venerable ones understood why the Azure Dragon did that.

He was doing it for the Nine Provinces!

An Emperor realm martial arts expert was enough to influence the situation of the beast calamity, even though he also had hope of advancing to the Emperor realm.

However, no matter how high the chances of advancing were, it was not a guaranteed success.

As long as he did not truly reach that realm, it was never possible to say that he would definitely be able to advance to that realm. It was always just a matter of probability.

Admittedly, if he allowed Ye Xiao to be his stepping stone, there was also a very high possibility that he could advance to the Emperor realm.

Firstly, Ye Xiao might not be willing to do so.

Secondly, Ye Xiao was younger than him, and Ye Xiao had a higher chance of advancing to a higher level in the future. That was the Azure Dragon's final choice, using himself as a stepping stone to assist Ye Xiao.

In order to make the Nine Provinces better and obtain a higher level of strength, he chose to sacrifice himself.

That was because he was the venerable Azure Dragon, one of the four venerable ones of the Nine Provinces.

When the interests of the country, the nation, and the individual were in conflict, he chose the country, the nation.

It was precisely under the self-sacrifice of these generations of heroes that the Nine Provinces were able to continue to exist.

...

On the other side, Ye Xiao came to the starry sky for the first time under the teleportation channel that You Wei had opened.

Between the ground and the starry sky, there was a defensive barrier set up by the ancestors of the human race.

Without that barrier, all the star beasts could easily come to the human world.

That barrier separated the human race from the star beasts. If one wanted to break through the barrier, there were only two methods.

One method was to use a powerful existence to open a spatial transmission channel.

The other method was to use a secret method to open a spatial transmission channel.

That spatial transmission channel was very small. Within a certain period of time, only one or two people could be sent. That was already the limit.

If too many people were sent, it would cause a reaction from the defense mechanism, directly killing the lives in the transmission channel.

Another aspect was that it could not teleport over-strong existences unless they were humans!

That was also why.

Although there were some teleportation channels, the star beasts still could not use that way to invade the human world.

Although Ye Xiao was already in the lesser Emperor realm, he was a human, so he was not within the range of this barrier.
