Chapter 1981 - 1964: Return of the Yin Yang Fish

Whoosh!

As Xiao Ye wielded Jiang Kong’s Stone Sword, the man in green clothes also moved.

The long spear tore through the void like a rainbow, directly thrusting forward as if penetrating the heavens and earth. The terrifying might trembled Xiao Ye’s soul, and the quasi-saint might emitted from Jiang Kong’s Stone Sword instantly crumbled.

"Five Extremes Technique!"

Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and lowly bellowed, his face filled with madness, choosing not to dodge but to face the battle head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the Trapped Spirit Array, the Tai Chu Spirit Flower emerged, unleashing Perfect Tai Chu Spiritual Power that surged and swept through all heavens and myriads of worlds.

At that moment, a series of immortal scripture characters emerged, as if a ’Saint’ was chanting ancient scriptures, causing Xiao Ye’s figure to become blurry, with five shadows surrounding his true self.

"Ancient Spirit Rune Technique!"

"Spirit Suppressing Technique!"

"Mystic Spirit Domain!"

"Stepping Star Nine Steps!"

"Jiang Kong Sword Technique!"

These five shadows, supported by infinite Tai Chu Spiritual Power, under the control of his true self, simultaneously cast Extreme Spiritual Methods. Their momentum soared, permeating the entire heaven and earth, attacking the man in green clothes, aiming straight at the opponent’s heart, completely ignoring the spear thrust coming towards them.

Boom!

At that moment, Xiao Ye felt an unparalleled energy surge forth, directly crushing his Tai Chu Body, fifteen anomalies instantaneously fell, unable to withstand even the third realm of defense.

The might contained within the spear caused his soul to tremble; his brow felt like it was about to crack open, hot spirit blood flowing.

This was a sign of excessive loss of Spirit Rank Origin, slowing Xiao Ye’s spirit body’s restoration speed by dozens of times.

On the other hand, the heart of the man in green clothes continued to beat powerfully, with only a crack running across it, causing Xiao Ye to take a cold breath.

Trading injury for injury, unleashing full combat power, yet only causing such minor damage to the opponent?

At this rate, before he could shatter the opponent’s heart, he would have already fallen in battle.

"Kid, be content."

"If it were a real martial artist, would he allow you to strike his heart?" The voice of the Time Great Saint came, making Xiao Ye’s eyes brighten.

If that were truly the case, he still had a chance for victory.

"The Tai Chu Body is difficult to wield this way; this won’t work, I have to go all out."

"Senior, lend me your Holy-grade Power!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ye instantly absorbed Holy-grade Power into his body.

The Holy-grade Power bestowed by the Taixu Great Saint was not much, but the Holy-grade Power of the Time Great Saint was endless. He could not afford to concern himself with anything else now.

Crash!

With Holy-grade Power entering, Xiao Ye’s momentum skyrocketed, like a saint himself, charging at the man in green clothes, every move shrouded in endless Holy Might.

With the blessing of Holy-grade Power, the strength of ordinary Spirit Rank martial artists would soar to a terrifying level, let alone a powerhouse like Xiao Ye?

Yet before the man in green clothes, it was still suppressed.

Having learned from previous experience, Xiao Ye no longer traded injury for injury but constantly mobilized Holy-grade Power, engaging in tactical skirmishes.

This was an exceptionally fierce battle.

Xiao Ye’s Four Great Scripture Phases were dimming, his Tai Chu Body nearly shattered inch by inch. Fortunately, although the man in green clothes had overwhelming combat power, he lacked much spiritual wisdom and did not understand how to guard his heart.

Squelch!

Followed by Xiao Ye’s multiple attacks, the blood-red heart covered with cracks let out a wail and finally lost all its vitality, shriveled down, like a withered tree root.

Consequently, the movement of the man in green clothes stilled, like a statue, holding a spear, frozen in place.

"Is it finally a success?"

Gasping heavily, Xiao Ye felt his spirit body had been devastated.

If not for the Time Great Saint pointing out the opponent’s weakness, he would have fallen in battle against the man in green clothes despite any amount of Holy-grade Power.

He continually retrieved and refined Cosmic Spiritual Treasures from his Space Ring, restoring some Essence Qi, gradually repairing his spirit body.

As for the depletion of Tai Chu Body and Spirit Rank Origin, it would likely take considerable time to recuperate.

This Starry Sky Secret Realm contained numerous Cosmic Spiritual Treasures for restoring Spirit Rank Origins, so Xiao Ye wasn’t worried.

"Saint-grade Weapon!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed intensely as he waved his hand, grabbing the spear.

The spear, which was originally imposing, now appeared very dim. The intricate patterns on it were significantly worn away, with many cracks across its surface, as if it were about to break.

"What... what is going on?" Xiao Ye widened his eyes.

Could this be the original state of the Saint-grade Weapon?

"This Saint was indeed not mistaken; the Slaughter Blood Saint’s Holy Weapon — the Saint Gun, is flawed, likely half-ruined in his final battle where he fell." Time Great Saint remarked with emotion.

To cause a Saint Rank expert to fall, the perpetrator must also have been of Saint Rank, far surpassing the Slaughter Blood Saint in strength.

"Then is this weapon useless now?" Xiao Ye asked disappointedly.

The Slaughter Blood Saint had fallen, so a half-ruined Holy Weapon was reasonable.

However, having obtained it with great difficulty only to face such results made him quite unwilling.

"Not necessarily; you’ve seen already, even a half-ruined Saint-grade Weapon is much superior to a Quasi-Saint Artifact."

"Besides, Holy Weapons have spirits and, with nurturance by a Saint Rank expert, will gradually recover."

"Place this Saint Gun in the Time Tower, and this Saint will repair it, erasing the Slaughter Blood Saint’s seals. You have yet to condense the Holy Fruit, so you can’t use it temporarily." Time Great Saint advised.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye smiled.

Given the hope of repair, he was reassured.

Even a half-ruined Saint-grade Weapon possesses incredible combat power, making it a significant gain indeed.

Next, with a thought, the Saint Gun was stored into his Space Ring.

"All other Quasi-Saint Artifacts on the Burial Artifact Continent belong to me."

"Yue Qianqiu, you might not have anticipated, I’m still alive, and I’ve even acquired a Saint-grade Weapon." Xiao Ye’s face turned fierce.

"Xiao Ye child, don’t rush off just yet; take a look at that heart." At this moment, Time Great Saint spoke again.

"Heart?"

Xiao Ye was slightly bewildered, curiously looking at the already shriveled heart.

Buzz!

As Xiao Ye approached, the shriveled heart began to tremble, like a startled rabbit.

The next moment, a shadow darted out, incredibly fast.

Simultaneously, the man in green clothes, like a statue, transformed into ash, disappearing from the world.

"What!"

Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted, astonished to the extreme.

He saw clearly, the shadow was a half-black, half-white fish—it was a Yin Yang Fish!

"Haha, this Saint was indeed not mistaken."

"It’s no easy feat for a half-ruined Saint-grade Weapon to exert such power."

"Yin Yang Fish born in the Holy Sea, innately near Tao, triggered the Saint-grade Weapon’s revival."

"This Yin Yang Fish should also be injured, speed not too fast; Xiao Ye child, you are in luck!" Time Great Saint laughed heartily.

"Heaven aids me!"

No need for reminders; Xiao Ye had already sprung forth, reaching for the Yin Yang Fish.

Indeed, though the Yin Yang Fish was still very fast, it could not teleport and was trapped within the array, failing to escape several times before being caught by Xiao Ye’s hand.
