Chapter 501: Chapter 116: Saint-level, Ye Xiaoxiao’s Breakthrough_1
Having reviewed Ye Xiaoxiao’s profile, the Benevolent King Great Saint immediately recognized her.

But he didn’t anticipate that this Saint Master of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty would surpass all his previous understandings.

A desire to conquer began to grow in the heart of the Benevolent King Great Saint. He was determined to not only obliterate the Great Yu Divine Dynasty but also conquer the woman before him.

“Leave the rest to me,” he declared.

With a wave of Ye Xiaoxiao’s hand, innumerable streams of luck energy melted into the bodies of the Star army.

The—near collapse—bodies and spiritual souls of these warriors began recovering rapidly.

The Saint from Xi Tian, seeing Ye Xiaoxiao showing up, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite not winning, this battle hadn’t shamed the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

A phoenix robe materialized on Ye Xiaoxiao, with the Sword of the Divine Emperor floating behind her.

Against such a Saint-level powerhouse, Ye Xiaoxiao currently had no guarantees.

However, she didn’t call Ye Fan for help or consider using a puppet.

In this world of cultivation, to truly become a royal, you couldn’t purely rely on your backing.

Even without any support, Ye Xiaoxiao was still a fighter!

The Human Emperor’s sword!

A lucky golden dragon emerged on the sword, instantly slashing towards the Benevolent King Great Saint!

Swift!

The Human Emperor’s sword, filled with impressive might, descended!

Initially, the Benevolent King Great Saint didn’t think that Ye Xiaoxiao, being a peak saint, could pose any threat to him. But the moment the Human Emperor’s sword was drawn, he realized something was wrong.

On the Human Emperor’s sword, he felt a hint of threat.

Although this threat wasn’t substantial, to be able to threaten a Great Saint indicated that this Saint Master of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty indeed had Saint-level strength.

Holding peak saint cultivation level but possessing Saint-level strength, such remarkable talent stirred a killing intent in the Benevolent King Great Saint.

If left to cultivate further, this being would inevitably become a threat to him.

Originally planning on subduing Ye Xiaoxiao, the Benevolent King Great Saint now changed his mind — Ye Xiaoxiao must die today!

The Benevolent King Great Saint utilized a Great Saint artifact, aiming it towards the Human Emperor’s sword.

The collision of two Great Saint artifacts in mid-air created innumerable black holes in the space.

Even the residual shockwaves were something an average saint wouldn’t stand up to.

The cultivators of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty clenched their fists, vehemently believing that their empress couldn’t lose.

As the battle raged on, the Benevolent King Great Saint’s killing intent grew stronger.

The stronger Ye Xiaoxiao’s talent display, the more intensely it stoked his murderous intentions.

Generally speaking, any fighter who could cultivate to the Saint level could be considered exceptional.

Even the ones with stronger talents than him wouldn’t have too much of an edge.

But now, the Benevolent King Great Saint faced a being far surpassing his own talent.

Not only was Ye Xiaoxiao at the Saint-level despite being at the peak of her cultivation, she still steadily progressed during the battle, which the Benevolent King Great Saint distinctly noticed.

Although she temporarily lacked the power to defeat him, what if Ye Xiaoxiao was given more time?

By now, the Benevolent King Great Saint had overturned his previous assessment.

Given a bit more time, Ye Xiaoxiao could pose not just a minor threat to him, but might gain the power to truly kill him.

Today, Ye Xiaoxiao must die!

Heavenly Saint Secret Method!

Unable to kill Ye Xiaoxiao in a short time using his typical strength, the Benevolent King Great Saint swiftly used the secret technique, further enhancing his power.

As for the pride of a Great Saint, that had already been cast aside.

A being potentially threatening to him warranted such extreme measures.

Even though Ye Xiaoxiao was able to barely resist the attacks initially, after the Benevolent King Great Saint used his secret method, she finally got injured.

Even with the mid-tier defensive Great Saint artifact, she could no longer block the attacks completely.

Rarity ensued as Ye Xiaoxiao began to sustain injuries.

In mid-air, Ye Fan’s hand suddenly clenched.

Damn, this old thief dare to harm my sister, he’s courting death!

Ye Fan nearly intervened and slayed the Benevolent King Great Saint himself.

Eventually, he held back.

From the moment the Benevolent King showed up, Ye Fan was already there.

But since Ye Fan saw Ye Xiaoxiao’s intent, he didn’t rush to take action.

Since Ye Xiaoxiao didn’t call him, she must have intended to complete the test alone.

If that were the case, Ye Fan had no reason to intervene.

But of course, if Ye Xiaoxiao was defeated, he wouldn’t just sit and watch.

There was no such thing as a ruthless world of cultivation for Ye Fan.

Yes, he was protective. Whoever dared to harm his clan, he would slay!

The battle continued. Facing the Benevolent King Great Saint who had used the secret method, Ye Xiaoxiao was visibly struggling, and her injuries became more serious.

If not for the mid-tier defensive Great Saint artifact she held, she may have already lost.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao’s eyes were becoming increasingly bright.

Over the years, with the Ye Family’s support, Ye Xiaoxiao had always had everything her way.

Founding dynasties — immortal, divine, holy — she’d never encountered any setbacks.

This ultimately caused her path towards comprehending her own heart and understanding the Original Principle to be less smooth.

But now, with the ongoing battle and mounting pressure, Ye Xiaoxiao gradually gained enlightenment on her Dao.

The Original Principle, the Dao of the Emperor!

Ye Xiaoxiao was destined to become an Empress reigning over all the heavens and realms!

“Kneel!”

Ye Xiaoxiao gently commanded the Benevolent King Great Saint before her.

The Benevolent King Great Saint, upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao’s words, showed indifference. A Human Emperor had no right to command one as strong as him.
