Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

…

The next day, Ye Xiao went to work as usual. The city had already been repaired by Li Liushui. There was no need to doubt the methods and speed of a King realm martial arts expert. It was just that fast.

When he was reading in the morning, Liu Chengxun walked over and said with some surprise,

“Ye Xiao, when did you come back?”

“Last night, what happened?”

“Fortunately, you came back late yesterday. Did you know that Saber God Li Liushui has gone crazy? The battle yesterday was really soul-stirring.

“If you had come back early, you might have been transferred out like us.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“I’m also considered lucky.”

“Speaking of which, I feel that you’re always quite lucky. Every time the saber god appears, when there’s danger around, you can always easily avoid it.

“It was the same when the Beast God Alliance attacked Jianghai city last time. When something happened in the Zhong province, you were also safe and sound.

“Kid, your luck has really been maxed out.

“It’s a pity that you haven’t been able to see the Saber-sword Immortal every time.”

Ye Xiao shrugged.

“For a small fry like me, if something happens, I have to run. Only by never joining in on the fun can I live long. Not being able to see the Saber-sword Immortal is also a blessing.”

Liu Chengxun nodded his head in deep agreement.

“You’re right. In any case, it’s good that you’re fine.”

After saying that, he walked to the side to meditate.

Ye Xiao noticed that the spiritual energy fluctuation in his body had also increased somewhat. Thinking about it, he should have seen his own holy light and thus comprehended some things, and then wanted to advance.

It seemed that at that time, because of his breakthrough, many people had benefited.

It was a great opportunity for the Nine Provinces as a whole.

In fact, he should have activated the divine blood in his body when he had reached the King realm.

At that point, with the help of the Changbai dragon vein, he had activated the divine blood in his body when he was in the King realm, which had brought it forward.

However, it was also a good thing. All the martial artists in the Nine Provinces had become stronger. It would be easier for them to face the beast calamity later.

After reading a few books, Ye Xiao walked to the director’s office.

Jiang Chen was cleaning his fish tank. Maybe it was because he was the venerable Black venerable, but he liked to raise tortoises.

All the tortoises in his office were his. Some of them were so old that even he had to call them grandpa.

“Ye Xiao is here. Come, come, come. Sit down.”

Jiang Chen was very happy to see Ye Xiao. He put down the terrarium he was cleaning, wiped his hands, and walked to Ye Xiao.

“My spirit stones have been delivered here. You said you were going to set up an emperor array for the city yesterday. Can we start work today?”

Ye Xiao said calmly,

“I set it up last night. There are 118 arrays in total, covering the entire Jianghai city. The depth of the array is 300 feet. It won’t affect the city’s planning and development.”

“…”

He could not believe what he had heard.

“Are all the arrays you set up were imperial arrays?”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“You only spent one night?”

Ye Xiao nodded again.

After Ye Xiao’s confirmation, Jiang Chen fell into silence.

All 118 arrays were imperial arrays.

How big a project was this?

If the top array masters from the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy worked without sleep or rest, they would have to work for three to five years.

Ye Xiao had done it in one night?

It was so fast.

If those array masters heard it, they would probably hang themselves.

Ye Xiao gave the array diagram to Jiang Chen.

He was used to Jiang Chen’s shock.

In fact, it was because of that reason that he had not revealed his identity to others.

Many things that he could do easily in many places were shocking to them.

It was always like this. It wasn’t easy to get along with them.

After handing over the array diagram, Ye Xiao started to talk about the space battlefield.

“Senior Black Tortoise, there’s one more thing I want to ask. It’s about the space battlefield.

“I know that there should be Emperor realm martial arts experts in the space battlefield. Can you let me go to the space battlefield to meet him? I want to understand some Emperor realm matters through them, and then try to break through the last layer.”

Venerable Black Tortoise nodded.

“It’s time for you to go over and take a look. With your current strength, you are only one step away from reaching the Emperor realm. If you can advance to this realm even a day earlier, it will be a great thing for the entire Nine Provinces.”

After a pause, he spoke again,

“However, the space battlefield and the ground are actually two different systems.

“We don’t know much about each other, so I still need to inform the space battlefield about this matter before I can confirm whether or not to let you go.”

“Then… Can you tell me about the situation of the space battlefield first? For example, about the deployment of personnel.”

“Okay.”

Venerable Black Tortoise replied.

“The space battlefield is currently guarded by the human race all over the world. About one-fifth of it is occupied by the Nine Provinces, and four-fifths of it is occupied by the other states.

“There are currently two Emperor realm martial arts experts in the Nine Provinces. They are Emperor Jing and Emperor Yun!

“Emperor Jing entered the Emperor realm 572 years ago.

“Emperor Yun entered the Emperor realm 325 years ago.

“After them, the Nine Provinces have yet to enter the Emperor realm.

“And the Emperor realm martial arts experts before them have all been sacrificed in defending the human race.

“There are currently sixteen Emperor realm martial arts experts.

“There are also a few Emperor realm martial arts experts in the west. They are the Thunder Emperor of Ohio, the Wolf Emperor of America, the Holy Light Emperor of the Western Alliance, and the Diamond Emperor of the Southern Alliance.

“The rest of the King realm martial arts experts are around a few dozen.

“As for the information about the star beasts, I’m not very clear. However, I know one thing. The star beasts are definitely stronger than the humans.

“Otherwise, the starry battlefield wouldn’t be so easy.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes moved slightly.

He did not expect that there would be so many with such powerful combat strength, but they would still be overwhelmed by the star beasts.

Jianghai city and the nearby small cities for instance would graduate so many martial artists every year. As long as their strength was above Houtian sixth grade, they would be transported to the space battlefield in large numbers.

Those transported martial artists would grow into Xiantian realm martial artists, martial artists above Grandmaster realm, in the next few years or even decades.

The human race’s strength was not weak, and the annual replenishment of military strength was not small either.

It seemed the star beasts were not to be underestimated.

However, on second thought, the senior of the Changbai dragon vein had also said that the world was not as small as it looked. It was just a small world.

The God race was above them!

That was just the beginning. If they could not even break through the star beasts, there was no need to talk about advancing further.

Thinking of that, he said to Jiang Chen,

“I see. Senior, please help me contact him.”

Ye Xiao had to find an opportunity to become an emperor as soon as possible.

“Okay! I’ll report this to the Nine Provinces Alliance immediately..”

As soon as they finished speaking, a thunder suddenly came from the sky in the distance, attracting their attention.

They looked towards the west through the huge window.

They saw a huge and oppressive black cloud was pressing toward them.

It looked like a cloud, but in fact, there was a murderous aura coming from it. Jiang Chen could not help but look solemn.

“What a powerful aura. It’s at least above the King realm. which side is it from?”

The corners of Ye Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly.

“He’s finally here. I knew it. He’ll definitely come.”

Venerable Black Tortoise’s heart shook.

“Who came?”

“It’s nothing. He’s a delivery man.”

Ye Xiao smiled faintly, turned around, and walked out.

“I’m going out to handle some matters. There’s no need to issue a city-wide alarm.”

Venerable Black Tortoise’s face was filled with confusion.

‘What the hell is this kid doing? Why can’t I understand a single word he said?’

However, since Ye Xiao said that it was fine, then it should not be a big deal, right?

‘Delivery man? Could it be that the other party is Ye Xiao’s friend? It’s also possible. After all, for such a powerful and heaven-defying existence like him, it’s very normal for him to have one or two powerful friends above the King realm.’

Thinking up to that point, the venerable Black Tortoise shook his head and went to wash his terrarium again.

At the same time, below the library, the star beasts that were originally playing cards, such as the Qingniu, Fenglong, and Samuel, suddenly felt their hearts tremble. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

“This… This aura, it’s the Tiger God! Lord Tiger God is H=here!”

“It’s really the Tiger God! It’s really him!”

“But that’s not right. It’s still far from the start of the holy war. Why would he come at this time? Could it be…”

Fenglong said in silence,

“Lord Tiger God values loyalty the most. If I’m not wrong, he should have rushed through the space-time tunnel to save us before the holy war started.”

“Lord Tiger God!”

The star beasts under the Tiger God could not help that their eyes had reddened.

“We have really let down Lord Tiger God. We have eaten well and lived well here. We have completely forgotten about his nurturing of us.

“He only cares about enjoying himself here and did not inform him to not come over!”

Fenglong’s expression was solemn as he said,

“No, even though we have become livestock, we can not let Lord Tiger God do the same. His self-esteem is so strong, if we let him become livestock, he will definitely not be able to accept it.”

“Right! We have to release our own aura. Even though we are sealed, we can still do something. We must inform Lord Tiger God and let him run away quickly!

“We absolutely must not run into that fellow Ye Xiao. Otherwise, we won’t be able to escape.”

“Quick! Everyone, work together and release our aura.”

The star beasts gathered together and condensed their auras into a single point before seeping out from the array.
