Chapter 1990 - 1973: Quasi-Saints Can Be Killed

In the starry expanse of the universe, the six great Semi-Saints of the Ten Thousand Ancient World roared, shaking mountains and rivers, overturning the cosmos. Six Spirit Flowers, which had already begun nurturing Holy Fruits, displayed overwhelming power, with immortal symbols flickering, and the rumbling sound echoed for thousands of miles.

This was an incredibly powerful attack, where various lights converged to form a Holy Sea, seemingly capable of eradicating and suppressing everything.

This scene caused the Taixu Great Realm’s Semi-Saint experts to tremble in spirit. Although nearby Spirit Rank experts weren’t directly impacted, they couldn’t help but bow down instinctively.

These six Semi-Saints were renowned experts in the Ten Thousand Ancient World, having traveled the path to Quasi-Sainthood for a long time. Each one’s combat power was nearly unmatched, able to suppress countless Star Domains and earn reverence.

Yet now, they joined forces just to deal with a youngster.

The reason: Xiao Ye’s combat power was too terrifying, defying comprehension.

Boom!

Facing the attack of six Semi-Saints, Xiao Ye’s hands tore through the void, and suddenly the heavens and earth shattered. The Taichu Spirit Flower, sacred and immense, filled the sky, resembling a Divine Furnace emitting a Dao Rhythm. The Holy Fruit at the center of its three leaves flashed, emitting the roar of the Saint Dao, suppressing down, unstoppable by anyone.

This was a direct collision of the Saint Dao by seven powerful Semi-Saints!

In an instant, the heavens and earth were vast, light emanating everywhere, illuminating the Heavenly Sky. Under the awestruck gazes of all, the attacks of the six Semi-Saints were obstructed and then swiftly obliterated.

At the same time, their bodies trembled, as if confined in place, enveloped by the Holy Fruit of the Taichu Spirit Flower, unable to approach Xiao Ye or retreat.

"What terrifying power!"

These six great Semi-Saints gasped, faces full of disbelief.

"Even the combined force of the six great Semi-Saints is nothing remarkable."

Xiao Ye’s eyes were sharp, black hair scattered, exuding an invincible aura, like he was alone at the Absolute Peak, towering over all.

When he was at the Spirit Rank Peak, he was already capable of slaying a true Saint, let alone now?

One must know, the Saint Dao he attempted to emulate had reached the limit that the Taichu Spirit Flower could withstand, defying normal logic.

As his voice landed—

Whoosh!

The Taichu Spirit Flower trembled slightly, engraved with the Saint Dao, establishing the Foundation of Saint Dao, making their Spirit Flowers shiver. They cried out, all spitting large amounts of blood, bodies bending down.

Pshhh!

Finally, after only a few breaths, these six Semi-Saints couldn’t withstand it, all coughing blood and retreating.

Meanwhile, a terrifying aura broke through the universe.

This belonged to Xiao Ye’s Half-Saint Power, which contained a hint of Dao Rhythm beyond the Tai Chu Spiritual Power. Though still not matching Holy-grade Power, it was under his perfect control.

Thus, at the Half-Saint or Quasi-Saint level, experts rarely used Holy-grade Power.

Pshhh!

Xiao Ye’s Half-Saint Power rushed forward, like a Heavenly Blade slicing through, spilling blood and flesh. Instantly, three Semi-Saints were smashed to death.

The remaining three Semi-Saints narrowly escaped but were seriously injured, not daring to come forward, faces full of terror.

Because the result was already certain, fighting further was meaningless.

"How... how is this possible!"

"With the Taichu Ancient Scripture reviving in this era, what kind of Saint Dao has he even begun to comprehend?"

...

An atmosphere of fear quietly spread over everyone’s hearts.

They had long known the six great Semi-Saints collaborating might not necessarily handle Xiao Ye, yet they hadn’t expected such a total defeat!

It looked entirely unlike a battle at the same level!

At the level of Semi-Saints, who can possibly oppose Xiao Ye?

The Quasi-Saints and Semi-Saints of the Taixu Great Realm felt their faces burning with shame.

Xiao Ye’s formidable strength made them feel as if their previous actions had been clownish.

"Do you intend to make a move to stop me?"

"In my eyes," said Xiao Ye plainly toward the Quasi-Saint of the Ten Thousand Ancient World, "even Quasi-Saints can be killed."

If, when he was at the Spirit Rank Peak, the term "Quasi-Saint" could bring him considerable pressure, now he felt no fear at all.

In the battle with the six great Semi-Saints, he hadn’t even used his full strength.

Stared down by Xiao Ye, the Quasi-Saint’s expression wavered but didn’t dare to respond.

"Humph!"

"Consider yourself fortunate!"

The next moment, leaving those words, he vanished from his spot.

Xiao Ye’s formidable strength was undeniable, even replacing him; he didn’t have the confidence to defeat Xiao Ye.

Moreover, rumors said Xiao Ye had a card against Quasi-Saints even at the Spirit Rank Peak, so rushing in was too risky, not worth it at all.

The Spirit Rank Martial Artists from the Ten Thousand Ancient World trembled and quickly left, not daring to linger.

"Unless a Saint Rank expert personally arrives, there’s no hope of seizing that Saint-grade Weapon."

"Sigh, the Taixu Great Realm, first had Jiang Kong, now Xiao Ye, both with such against-the-heavens combat power at the Half-Saint Realm."

"We arrived too late, if we’d come earlier and found the Holy Sea first, how could this brat have had the chance to be so arrogant?"

...

In the void, silhouettes looked in this direction, whispering softly without taking action.

"A Quasi-Saint, just like that, scared off by Xiao Ye?"

On the other side, Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens were left dumbfounded.

"Did I successfully establish my might?"

Xiao Ye gazed deeply into the distance, a cold smile spreading on his face.

How terrifying is the fluctuation of battles between Half-Saints and Quasi-Saints?

He had long noticed that other Great Realm experts had arrived, waiting for the right opportunity to act.

"Brother Xiao Ye, I didn’t expect you to break through to the Half-Saint Realm. Truly, congratulations! I apologize for my earlier impoliteness."

"We’re both Martial Artists of the Taixu Great Realm, and should interact more in the future."

At this moment, the black-robed elder Gao Xinggong flew over.

The six Semi-Saints followed behind him, wearing awkward smiles.

Xiao Ye breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm meant he had established the Foundation of Saint Dao. His future accomplishments would surely be limitless, at least equivalent to Jiang Kong. How could they maintain any airs?

"I once said, I do not need your protection."

"You just need to take Ghost Fire and the others back to the Taixu Great Realm, or else you won’t be able to explain to the Taixu Great Saint."

Towards these experts, Xiao Ye did not feel any goodwill and spoke blandly.

After bidding farewell to Ghost Fire and others, he trod the void, making Gao Xinggong and the others’ expressions stiff, yet they were helpless.

Given their previous actions, Xiao Ye not taking action against them was already quite magnanimous.

"The elders of the Taixu Great Realm really have thick skins." In the starry sky, Xiao Ye’s figure flashed by and he shook his head in emotion.

"Although the experts sent by those Great Realm forces have been intimidated by me into inaction, in my heart, there remains a sense of foreboding."

Xiao Ye’s eyes shimmered as he murmured to himself.

(Apologies for the late update.)
