Chapter 1979 - 1962: Ten Great Tombs

Rumble!

On the plains deep within the Burial Artifact Continent, Mo Yue wielded a Demon Saber as thin as a cicada’s wing. His demonic Spiritual Power surged to the sky, and the massive Sword Light pierced through Heaven and Earth, slashing toward his opponent.

Clang!

But his opponent was not to be outdone, wielding two bright daggers that surprisingly blocked Mo Yue’s Sword Light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yue Qianqiu, along with three other Martial Artists around him, rose into the air, their bright long hair flying, unleashing overwhelming Spiritual Power as they teamed up to deal with Mo Yue, determined to seize the Heavenly Desolate Tripod.

The strongmen of the Sky Demon Clan naturally wouldn’t stand by idly and quickly rushed to join the battle.

"The Martial Artists around Yue Qianqiu are all very powerful; no wonder not a single one has been lost since entering the Starry Sky Secret Realm."

"I’m becoming more curious about them," Xiao Ye’s eyes glinted with a peculiar light, and he did not participate in the contest.

The Quasi-Saint Artifact Heavenly Desolate Tripod was indeed impressive, but its effects were too domineering. With the Great Realm Qiankun Map in hand, Xiao Ye wasn’t too tempted.

"Xiao Ye, look quickly, what’s Yue Qianqiu doing?"

At this moment, the exclamation of Ghost Fire caught Xiao Ye’s attention.

At this moment, Yue Qianqiu was completely unmoved by the slaughter, and instead of nearby tombs, he headed straight for the one in the center.

"Hmm?"

Only then did Xiao Ye notice something unusual.

There were a total of ten grand tombs on this plain, with nine scattered around the four corners, each hundreds of miles apart.

Viewed from above, these nine tombs seemed to be protecting the tenth one like guards.

"Could it be that the nine tombs only bury Quasi-Saint Weapons, while the tenth one buries a Saint-grade Weapon?" Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed.

If the Yin Yang Fish was really in this area, it would most likely be in the tomb burying a Saint-grade Weapon.

"Ghost Fire, Nine Heavens, the other eight tombs are likely to contain Quasi-Saint Weapons, go seize them quickly!"

After leaving these words, Xiao Ye performed the Initial Scripture Phase and, as if through Instant Teleportation, caught up with Yue Qianqiu.

"Xiao Ye, I don’t want to fight you, but you insist on opposing me."

Yue Qianqiu had already arrived in front of the tenth grand tomb. Seeing Xiao Ye catch up, he was not surprised but sighed, seemingly resigned.

"Weapons on the Burial Artifact Continent are fought over by strength, where’s the opposition in that?" Xiao Ye said indifferently, his gaze looking toward the tenth grand tomb.

This grand tomb appeared very simple and unassuming, as if it had existed for eternity, immortal through the ages, and from its simplicity, it revealed its past glory.

An elusive aura surged to the sky, enveloping the plain, seemingly isolating the Qi of this place.

"Is this grand tomb the reason my Spiritual Sense cannot probe this area?" Xiao Ye realized, scanning his eyes over, only to find the tombstone was unmarked.

"You make a fair point."

"In front of a Saint-grade Weapon, no Spirit Rank Martial Artist can remain rational, even a genius of the Human Clan like you."

Yue Qianqiu smiled slightly, his words causing Xiao Ye’s expression to subtly change.

Yue Qianqiu...

Has he determined that this grand tomb indeed contains a Saint-grade Weapon?

"Seems like you can’t hold back and want to make a move against me finally." Xiao Ye squinted his eyes, exuding a chilling light.

"Indeed."

"I do want to experience how powerful and defiant the Tai Chu Body is."

Yue Qianqiu’s entire body was surrounded by flowing runes, and at this moment, his body was shrouded in mist. Although he didn’t erupt with an earth-shattering aura, he seemed like a lofty Sovereign.

"I also want to test your strength!" Xiao Ye’s eyes were filled with gravity.

In battles with the Blood Slaying Clan’s three Semi-Saints, Yue Qianqiu’s speed in killing a Semi-Saint was even faster than Mo Yue and the Witch Saint, making him an absolute formidable enemy.

Moreover, with the Time Great Saint’s warning, he dared not underestimate Yue Qianqiu at all.

Up to now, he hadn’t fully witnessed the other’s strength.

Boom!

Xiao Ye directly made a move, activating the Tai Chu Body and Taichu Ancient Scripture, showing his strongest power.

In an instant, fifteen anomalies seemed to stretch Heaven and Earth, accompanied by the Perfect Tai Chu Spiritual Power that erupted, terrifying Power surged overwhelmingly, sweeping in all directions, causing the world to be in turmoil.

Xiao Ye’s fists shattered the Heaven, carrying terrifying energy shock waves, striking at Yue Qianqiu.

The void trembled, and space shattered, the surroundings like tumultuous waves.

Yue Qianqiu’s hands slashed through the void, with cold splendor like flowing water forming a defense, yet it couldn’t withstand such a terrifying blow from Xiao Ye. With a loud roar, his entire body flew backward, stopping awkwardly.

"Indeed strong, no wonder even Witch Saint is not your opponent."

"Even during the Forbidden Ancient Clan’s most glorious period, Martial Artists who could cultivate the Taichu Ancient Scripture to your level were very rare."

Yue Qianqiu was full of amazement.

"You clearly have such strength but hid it until now, truly deep-minded." Xiao Ye roared as he arrived, evolving numerous Spiritual Techniques, continuously suppressing Yue Qianqiu with the Tai Chu Body.

"Because since entering the Starry Sky Secret Realm, besides you, I haven’t encountered any opponent worth treating seriously."

Yue Qianqiu cursorily shouted, as moonlight like water retaliated, equally evolving Supreme Spiritual Techniques to fiercely battle Xiao Ye, but completely fell on the back foot.

However, Xiao Ye, without any delight, grew increasingly serious in his eyes.

With the Taichu Ancient Scripture and Tai Chu Body erupting in unison, how terrifying was his strength?

Unhesitatingly, destroying a Semi-Saint couldn’t be easier, even with a Quasi-Saint, Xiao Ye dared to fight head-on.

The Yue Qianqiu in front of him seems to be on the back foot, but in actuality, he hadn’t dealt much damage to him. Not even the Witch Saint could do that.

"Is Yue Qianqiu really this strong?"

"Damn it, has he been hiding his strength all along!"

...

The earth-shattering battle startled Nine Heavens and Ghost Fire, even Mo Yue of the Sky Demon Clan who was fervently fighting, was full of disbelief.

"Xiao Ye and Yue Qianqiu are fighting for that tomb; perhaps it’s where a Saint-grade Weapon is buried."

"Hold off these guys, don’t let them snatch the Heavenly Desolate Tripod!"

Mo Yue shouted low, quickly rushing toward the tenth tomb, wanting to make the first move.

"Mo Yue!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and simultaneously with Yue Qianqiu, they turned to attack Mo Yue.

Buzz!

At this moment, a special fluctuation swept through, causing the entire Burial Artifact Continent to tremble, making the fighting pause suddenly, and everyone’s horrified gaze turned to the tenth grand tomb.

"Is this tomb moving?"

Xiao Ye took a sharp breath.
