Chapter 1987 Heavenly Defying Mark

"Has the Holy Sea arrived?"

Xiao Ye was invigorated and quickly released his spiritual sense to scout the surroundings.

At this moment, he was in the vast universe formed by the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm, surrounded by nothing but a desolate expanse with no trace of the Holy Sea in sight.

However, as Xiao Ye expanded his spiritual sense, he soon made a discovery.

A few hundred miles away, there was an area that spiritual sense couldn’t penetrate, and a very peculiar aura was faintly emanating from it.

"Could that be the Holy Sea?"

Xiao Ye’s form flashed, crossing the void to reach this region, yet he saw nothing; only by releasing his spiritual sense could he sense something extraordinary.

"Xiao Ye lad, if this Saint is not mistaken, the Holy Sea is hidden within this void," came the voice of the Time Great Saint.

"Alright, let me give it a try!"

Xiao Ye nodded, then let out a great shout, channeling some of his restored spiritual power, and clapped his hands toward the void ahead.

Instantly—

Boom!

The cosmic void quaked as if a stone were tossed into a calm lake, rippling outwards quickly, forming cracks.

Crash!

The sound of waves crashing resounded through, and through these cracks, dozens of three-zhang-long, half-black half-white fish could be clearly seen swimming freely in an aquamarine sea.

"The Holy Sea!"

Xiao Ye was immediately excited.

The sea beyond the cracks was entirely real, not a projection.

Moreover, with so many Yin Yang Fish around, it couldn’t be wrong.

Xiao Ye once again unleashed stronger spiritual power to widen the cracks, then leaped through them by force.

Beyond the cracks was a mysterious space, barren all around, with only a mist-covered sea swirling, emanating a distinct Dao Rhythm.

Within the sea, all the Yin Yang Fish gathered together, looking at Xiao Ye, this uninvited guest, with alarm.

"I didn’t expect the disintegration of the Slaughter Blood Saint’s Holy Fruit to breed so many Yin Yang Fish; truly extraordinary," the Time Great Saint remarked, "Xiao Ye lad, you can now sink into the depths of the Holy Sea, maintain your core, activate the Taichu Ancient Scripture. I’ll pass on to you my Forbidden Ancient Clan’s ancient techniques, which, combined with the Taichu Ancient Scripture, can be effective in the Holy Sea."

"As for the outcome, it depends on your own fortune."

As the Time Great Saint finished speaking, an ancient technique transmission emerged, surfacing in Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Tai Chu Saint Transformation Technique!"

"Is this the ancient technique from the Time Dominator of the Forbidden Ancient Clan?"

Taking in all the information, Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed with a strange light.

This ancient technique was akin to a spiritual technique, similar to the Nine Xuan Spirit Body, a supportive spiritual method.

Its sole purpose was to aid Martial Artists carrying the Taichu Ancient Scripture in condensing the Holy Fruit.

"Under the Three Thousand Great Realms, beneath the Holy Rank, all are ants."

"Now I, Xiao Ye, am finally embarking on this path!"

Xiao Ye clenched his fists, diving into the Holy Sea.

Splash!

At this moment, the aquamarine waters churned violently, submerging him, and Xiao Ye’s whole body trembled intensely.

"This... what is this?"

Xiao Ye looked down, his pupils immediately contracted.

He could clearly see his spiritual body rapidly dissolving like ice thrown into boiling oil.

Meridians, bones, muscles, all disappearing!

But unlike the tyrannical destruction of the Tie Wu Star Plate, Xiao Ye felt no pain.

Sizzle!

This process was entirely natural and irreversible; the Time Tower and space rings all fell from Xiao Ye, floating in the Holy Sea.

"Martial Artists refine themselves to strengthen, inherently fighting against the heavens, not permitted by heaven and earth unless breaking into the Holy Rank. Otherwise, every Martial Artist of each species bears the Heavenly Defying Mark, rejected by heaven and earth."

"To comprehend the Saint Dao under such laws is extremely elusive."

"But the Holy Sea can temporarily erase the Heavenly Defying Mark from a Martial Artist, no longer rejected by heaven and earth, greatly enhancing the chance to comprehend the Saint Dao!"

From the Time Rain Stone, the shadow of an extraordinarily vigorous man emerged.

He radiated the aura of the ages, his body tall, his flowing hair like a waterfall, precisely the Time Great Saint.

"Erase the Heavenly Defying Mark?"

At these words, Xiao Ye relaxed, carefully feeling his own changes.

Sure enough, he soon found that within his deep spiritual sense, and deep within his spiritual body, even the Tai Chu Spirit Flower, wisps of dark fire were rising.

This fire, ethereal and nonexistent, yet composed countless images.

There was Xiao Ye on the True Spirit Continent, cultivating the Four Emperor Skills, journeying from the Yulan Domain, overpowering foes, and finally respected by all as the Crownless Emperor.

There was Xiao Ye leaving the True Spirit Continent, rising from the Blue Demon Star Domain, and finally famed across the Great Realm.

...

"Have I had the Heavenly Defying Mark since my birth?" Xiao Ye felt an epiphany.

Under the dissolution of the Holy Sea, these images shattered quickly, and the dark flames gradually vanished.

Boom!

At this moment, Xiao Ye, whose spiritual body had completely disappeared, felt as if a mountain pressing on his soul had been lifted, allowing his whole being to transcend instantly, his perception vastly increasing, witnessing a multicolored world.

This world was permeated with the Chaos Qi, vividly colored Star Rivers traversing heaven and earth, each exuding an enormously dreadful suppression, shaking heaven and earth.

The sound of the Saint Dao resounded across the Nine Heavens, echoing in Xiao Ye’s ears.

"This... where is this!" Xiao Ye was utterly shocked.

At this moment, he felt like an ant thrown into a prehistoric world, full of fear and uncertainty.

"The low-level plane you were born into, possesses its own Law Profound Mysteries to support its normal operation, while the Three Thousand Great Realms, too, have their own Tao."

"The Heavenly Defying Mark on you has been erased, no longer rejected by heaven and earth, thus significantly increasing your perception of the Saint Dao, allowing you to see these substantial ’Tao’."

"But they don’t belong to you; you need to comprehend and master them yourself."

The Time Great Saint’s voice brought clarity to Xiao Ye.

In the next moment, Xiao Ye maintained his core, beginning to operate the Tai Chu Saint Transformation Technique taught by the Time Great Saint.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Within Xiao Ye’s Spirit Rank Origin, immortal symbols erupted, flashing furiously, gradually forming his image.

"This lad has finally reached this stage."

"With the Saint Heir missing, the revival of my Forbidden Ancient Clan relies solely on this lad."

"The Time Tower appeared on him, perhaps this is fate, let’s hope he can successfully tread the Saint Dao..."

Above the Holy Sea, the Time Great Saint’s shadow stood with hands behind his back, softly murmuring.
