Chapter 1989 - 1972: Confronting All Enemies

What?

Accompanied by Xiao Ye’s words spreading, Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens were all stunned.

Xiao Ye actually rejected the protection of these seven strong people?

These people threatening Xiao Ye is indeed excessive, but to safely retreat from here, he must rely on them.

You should know, the reason they could enter the Starry Sky Secret Realm is because of these strong people.

At this moment, those seven strong people all drew a breath, their faces turning livid.

Which one of them isn’t a prideful person?

The Taixu Great Saint sent them to assist Xiao Ye, which was already humiliating enough, let alone waiting until now.

"Xiao Ye, you should think carefully!"

"We know you have many cards up your sleeve, able to challenge Semi-Saint and even Quasi-Saint, but now those Great Realm forces have dispatched many strong people. Without our escort, regardless of your abilities, you won’t be able to leave alive."

"It’s only asking you to hand over a Saint-grade Weapon, that’s not excessive." A black-robed elder said in a deep voice, releasing extremely terrifying suppression, precisely a Quasi-Saint expert.

"Whether I can leave alive is none of your concerns." Xiao Ye’s mocking expression on his face grew stronger.

He wasn’t a three-year-old child to be scared into submission with just a few words.

These guys were sent by the Taixu Great Saint to assist him. If they really left, how would they explain to the Taixu Great Saint?

"This little bastard really won’t be swayed!"

"Are we to be led by the nose by a mere youngster today?"

Sure enough, those seven strong people exchanged glances, anger visible in their eyes.

"Alright, since you don’t understand social etiquette, we as elders won’t bother with you. We’ll escort you away now."

At that moment, the Quasi-Saint level black-robed elder coldly spoke, rising first.

"Brother Gao, you really compromised?"

This scene left others dumbfounded, all communicating telepathically.

"Humph!"

"This little bastard doesn’t know the heights of heaven, thinking with the Taixu Great Saint’s orders, we are bound to escort him away, hence his utter recklessness."

"As long as we take him out and draw other Great Realm’s Semi-Saint and Quasi-Saint experts, when the knife is at his throat, wouldn’t he comply?"

"After all, the Taixu Great Saint ordered us to assist him, but how much effort we exert is our decision."

The black-robed elder responded telepathically.

"Hahaha, indeed, ginger is hotter when old!"

"In terms of tricks and schemes, this kid is far behind."

...

The other six Semi-Saint experts gleefully schemed.

"Damn these old guys, truly shameless!" Martial artists from the Taixu Saint Realm followed, Xiao Ye looked at the backs of those seven strong people, anger surged.

By logic, to quickly leave the Starry Sky Secret Realm, one should deploy an Array or suppress Qi to escape stealthily, not boldly showing presence as if fearing the enemy won’t discover.

Sure enough, in the next instant—

Boom!

The universal starry sky began to tremble, terrifying suppression bred in the cosmos, nine different enormous Spirit Flowers emerged, filling the heavens and earth.

"Gao Xinggong, thinking of leaving like this, I’m afraid is impossible."

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, you finally showed yourself? We’ve searched so hard for you."

"Hand over the Saint-grade Weapon, tell us the location of the Holy Sea, or face death without mercy!"

...

These Spirit Flowers bore immortal symbols flashing, the shadow of a Holy Fruit visible, followed by nine ancient figures across the sky, suffocating Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens, turning their faces pale.

Near these nine ancient figures, several young men in silver armor appeared, all coldly eyeing Xiao Ye.

"It’s the forces from the Ten Thousand Ancient World."

"I’ll handle the Quasi-Saint, as for the Eight Great Semi-Saints, each of you handle one, let Xiao Ye take care of the rest."

The Quasi-Saint level black-robed elder telepathically communicated.

"Okay!"

The six strong people coldly smiled, wasted no time, followed the Quasi-Saint, each picking an opponent to engage.

In an instant, a great battle erupted in the universe, starry sky shattered, sun and moon lost light.

"These guys, what are they doing?" The remaining two Semi-Saints from the Nine Great Strong People of the Ten Thousand Ancient World were slightly stunned.

Although they outnumbered them, the Quasi-Saint Gao Xinggong from the Taixu Great Realm was more formidable than the Ten Thousand Ancient World’s Quasi-Saint.

But now, Gao Xinggong seemed to hold back his strength.

"Never mind them, first catch Xiao Ye."

In the next moment, their sinister gaze locked on Xiao Ye, moving front and back in the air.

"Xiao Ye, we’ve tried our best, but as you saw, their numbers overpower us. Hand over the Saint-grade Weapon now while there’s still time."

"Or else when other Great Realm forces arrive, you’ll be even more in danger."

The black-robed elder from the Taixu Great Realm Gao Xinggong telepathically communicated, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

However, what responded to him were two sudden screams resonating in the universe.

The two Semi-Saints rushing towards Xiao Ye at the moment had their bodies shattered, flying backward, two Spirit Flowers destroyed, the Holy Fruit extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, both Semi-Saints had fallen!

"This... how is this possible!"

The great battle in the universe paused, every face filled with shock, looking incredulously at the figure like a Divine.

Xiao Ye’s name already spread across several Great Realms, his power undoubted.

But to instantly kill two Semi-Saints...

This is absolutely impossible!

"I, Xiao Ye, need not your protection, can kill my way out myself, whoever blocks me..." Xiao Ye coldly eyed the Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints from the Taixu Great Realm, thundering: "Kill!"

Boom!

As "kill" rang out, terrifying Qi like a cosmic explosion surged from Xiao Ye, engulfing the heavens and earth, Tai Chu Spirit Flower emerged, suppressing all realms.

The Semi-Saints from both the Ten Thousand Ancient World and Taixu Great Realm had no time to react, all were blasted away.

"He... actually broke through to the Semi-Saint Realm!"

The cosmos plunged into silence, the atmosphere frozen, Taixu Great Realm’s Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints in a daze, as if dreaming.

To breakthrough from the Spirit Rank Peak to the Semi-Saint level requires building the Foundation of Saint Dao.

Just this point blocked countless genius martial artists?

This led to many Spirit Rank Peak experts across the Three Thousand Great Realms, but few Semi-Saints, let alone Xiao Ye possessing the Taichu Ancient Scripture.

"This kid’s breakthrough, surely because he found the Holy Sea!"

"Everyone be careful, let’s strike together, as strong as he is, can he resist all of us?"

A Semi-Saint from the Ten Thousand Ancient World shouted, leading the other five Semi-Saints past opponents, all attacking Xiao Ye.

"Humph, although both are Semi-Saints, your strength falls far short!" Xiao Ye’s black hair scattered, his eyes firing two Divine Radiances, fearlessly engaging.
