Chapter 1836 - 1819: The Three Kings

The vast Holy World, within the Third Layer Heaven.

Buzz!

In a dense Original Forest, the low growls of beasts echoed continuously. On a clearing, a young man clad in a golden robe sat cross-legged, absorbing the Cosmic Spiritual Energy.

This scene was all too common in the Holy World.

However, the Cosmic Spiritual Energy attracted by this young man surged like a torrent, enveloping the entire forest, causing the weeds and trees to grow crazily.

The Cosmic Spiritual Energy can nurture all things in Heaven and Earth and is also the foundation of a Martial Artist’s strength.

Swipe!

At a certain moment, this young man abruptly opened his eyes, and two dazzling beams shot out from his pitch-black pupils, piercing straight through the Heavenly Dome.

"As expected of the Holy World, just absorbing Cosmic Spiritual Energy here has brought me significant gains." Xiao Ye revealed a slight smile and waved his palm.

Instantly——

Buzz!

Taichu Spiritual Power surged, densely packed Spirit Runes filled the void, crowding the Heavenly Dome, possessing the power to destroy everything. Upon closer inspection, it had actually reached 400,000!

"When I dueled with the Great Realm Envoy Zhou Ke, I could only activate 100,000 runes. This significant progress is mainly thanks to the Cosmic Spiritual Energy of the Holy World and the Extreme Spirit Pill."

"Once I can reach the Million Patterns Realm, that’s the level of extreme Spiritual Method, but even for myself, I might need to reach the Mid Stage of Heavenly Spirit Realm to possibly execute a million patterns." Xiao Ye was full of emotion.

The extreme Spiritual Method is confined to legends, unseen among Star Domain Forces, only existing in the Holy World.

And the Million Patterns Realm, that is the true extreme Spiritual Method, far surpassing Zhou Ke’s Swordsmanship.

Which means, with his current power, even without activating the Third Scripture Phase, he could rival Zhou Ke. In the Third Layer Heaven of the Holy World, those who could contend with him were few and far between.

He even had confidence to step into the Second Layer Heaven.

"Half a month has passed, is Yi Tianzhou still refining pills?" Xiao Ye stood up, looking towards the west.

In the west of the forest, a massive pillar of light shot up into the sky, faintly emitting terrifying surges sweeping in all directions, very astounding.

"Yi Tianzhou is not simple, even being hunted by someone, I wonder what background he has." Xiao Ye thought to himself.

During this time, while acting as a protector for Yi Tianzhou, many sneaky Martial Artists appeared around, but he drove them all off.

However, this also raised Xiao Ye’s vigilance.

Yi Tianzhou’s alchemy skills were clearly more advanced than those of the Third Layer Heaven’s alchemists, yet he could attract so many Martial Artists’ encirclement, definitely not simple.

Rumble!

At this moment, suddenly several powerful auras shattered the Heavenly Dome, sweeping the entire Heaven and Earth, charging directly towards the direction where Yi Tianzhou was refining pills.

These auras were aggressive, obviously targeting Yi Tianzhou.

"Hmph, more troublemakers?"

Xiao Ye’s expression changed, and he soared into the sky, heading straight towards the direction of Yi Tianzhou’s alchemy.

In mid-air, nine sneaky Martial Artists were peeking in Yi Tianzhou’s direction.

"Golden Dragon Technique!"

Xiao Ye deployed the First-class Spiritual Method without hesitation, instantly converting the terrifying Taichu Spiritual Power into golden Dragon Energy, forming a massive Golden Dragon, encompassing those nine Martial Artists.

Faced with Xiao Ye’s attack, these nine Martial Artists seemed to have prepared in advance, shouting in unison to deploy Spiritual Techniques for defense.

Rumble!

The Heaven and Earth quaked tremendously, and the nine Martial Artists were jolted, sent flying in unison.

"That guy is indeed nearby!"

Seeing Xiao Ye show up, the nine Martial Artists’ expressions dramatically changed, their figures flickering as they attempted to escape.

"Since you’re here, stay!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, rushing over swiftly.

He had no intention of having his and Yi Tianzhou’s positions exposed, inviting continuous trouble, especially when Yi Tianzhou’s alchemy couldn’t be disturbed.

"Haha, so you are Xiao Ye? You don’t seem so impressive."

"This is the Holy World, not a place you can mess around freely. If you want to protect Yi Tianzhou alone, let’s see if you have the skill."

At this moment, several icy voices sounded, while figures flickered across the Heavenly Dome, approximately over two hundred figures arriving.

The leaders were three tall Martial Artists, their terrifying auras emitted an ancient scripture droning sound with every move, like gods descending, surrounded by others.

One of them stepped into the air, clenched his fist, and blasted across the void, directly intercepting Xiao Ye’s pursuit.

"Hehe, the three kings of the Third Layer Heaven have arrived, Xiao Ye, you’re dead!"

The nine Martial Artists who Xiao Ye chased all paused, sneering as they looked at Xiao Ye.

"The kings of the Third Layer Heaven?"

Xiao Ye was shocked, scrutinizing the three Martial Artists.

He had been in the Holy World for months and knew that so-called kings were the peak strongmen of the Third Layer Heaven, unlike the Martial Artists who willingly gave up freedom to cultivate in the Holy World.

Only twenty out of thousands of Martial Artists in the Third Layer Heaven could earn the title of king, all listed in the Realm Spirit List, having cultivated the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture.

Now three had actually come!

"Xiao Ye, you passed the Taixu Great Saint’s assessment, you’re indeed strong, but to contend with us three, it’s simply impossible."

"You’d better step aside obediently, or you’ll die."

The three kings coldly looked at Xiao Ye, their eyes sharp.

"Kings!"

Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of Yi Tianzhou, who was refining pills not far away, his complexion instantly paled, filled with despair.

He was well aware of the name of kings in the Third Layer Heaven.

In his view, Xiao Ye’s strength was only at the king level, and it was utterly impossible to protect him against three kings.

"Brother Xiao Ye, I appreciate your protection, but it’s unnecessary now. You should step aside; I don’t want to drag you down. My alchemist identity isn’t worth such risk for you."

"With your strength, getting the support of other alchemists in the Third Layer Heaven would be easy."

Zhou Yitian amplified his voice through Spiritual Power, speaking up.

"Haha, seems like Yi Tianzhou understands the situation, quickly get out of here." The three kings laughed mockingly upon hearing this.

The surrounding Martial Artists also laughed mockingly.

No matter how strong Xiao Ye is?

Facing the three great kings, wouldn’t he still have to bow down?

"Yi Tianzhou, have you considered me a friend after this time together?" Xiao Ye slightly narrowed his eyes, speaking indifferently.

Even now, Yi Tianzhou was still considering him, exceedingly kind-hearted.

"Friend?"

Yi Tianzhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Brother Xiao Ye is righteous and a friend worth making."

"Then as a friend, why need more words?"

"Since I promised to protect you, even if twenty kings arrived today, I wouldn’t hand you over. This has nothing to do with your alchemist identity," Xiao Ye said.

Initially, he and Yi Tianzhou were strangers, but through these days of interaction, he recognized the other person’s character.

That was the way Xiao Ye was.

To strangers, he could be indifferent, but for friends, even in great crisis, he would never ignore it.

"Friend..." Yi Tianzhou trembled at these words, his eyes glinting with light.

And at this moment, Xiao Ye had already stepped into the air, heading towards the three kings in mid-air: "Come, let me see your strength!"
