Chapter 1849 - 1832: A Narrow Escape from Death

Boom!

The sound of the ancient scripture’s roar spread across all heavens, with dazzling radiance erupting from Xiao Ye’s body, as half of a primitive ’Taichu’ character soared skywards, surrounded by endless divine radiance.

The third scripture phase of the Taichu Ancient Scripture, once activated, grants the cultivator spirit-grade extreme speed.

Xiao Ye’s realm had already broken through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and the half ’Taichu’ character had also increased somewhat, no longer as indistinct as before, rather clear, boosting his speed by about thirty percent.

In an instant, Xiao Ye dashed out a hundred miles.

"Hmm? Taichu Ancient Scripture!"

"Is it that guy named Xiao Ye?"

However, although his speed was swift, the speed of those two martial artists was also quite fast, surprisingly stopping their brawl in perfect harmony and swiftly following him.

One of the martial artists let out a long howl, and rolling power enveloped him like the Yangtze River, as if countless tentacles reached out to grab him, surrounding Xiao Ye completely, causing his speed to reduce drastically.

Whoosh whoosh!

The next moment, Xiao Ye’s vision blurred as two figures appeared in succession, directly blocking his path.

"Such terrifying speed!"

Forced to halt, Xiao Ye felt shocked at heart.

The speed of the third scripture phase of the Taichu Ancient Scripture—how terrifying must it be? It was also one of his trump cards.

And the speed of these two martial artists before him was not much less than his third scripture phase.

"The Taichu Ancient Scripture is indeed remarkable. Our ranking on the Realm Spirit List is within two hundred, yet we almost let you escape."

Though shocked, Xiao Ye did not know that these two martial artists were even more astonished.

What kind of existence are they?

Their cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and they carried the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, undoubtedly considered top-tier spirit-grade masters, yet nearly failed to catch Xiao Ye.

"Two seniors, I had no intention of intruding upon this place."

Xiao Ye watched these two mighty figures with vigilant eyes, cupped his hands, and spoke.

These two were originally fighting each other, but now they stopped to block him; they probably weren’t of good nature.

"Hehe, Shi Ge, you gathered a group to protect the Dan Venerable’s son, and this kid belongs to your faction."

"To conceal the location of Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, I’ll leave this kid to you. Dispose of him, and then we’ll have a showdown."

said a man with long yellow hair, indifferently.

"Xiao Ye, how did you find Yellow Mound Spirit Valley?" Following his words, the stately martial artist Shi Ge gazed at Xiao Ye, asking coldly.

"This guy is in the same faction as me?" Xiao Ye’s face changed upon hearing this.

There were many martial artists in Stone Giant City. Most were in seclusion; besides Yu Ming and others, he hadn’t met anyone else, so it was normal not to recognize them.

Their strength was so terrifying—even if they weren’t part of the Eight Great Masters, they couldn’t be far from it.

"Forget it, no matter how you found this place, Yellow Mound Spirit Valley’s location must not be revealed, so you must die."

"Having watched your battle with Yuan Tianyou, I had high hopes for you; if you hadn’t trespassed into Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, I might have even elevated you."

Before Xiao Ye could respond, Shi Ge stepped forward, with a look of regret, and struck with a palm.

Instantly—

Bang!

The void within a hundred miles was imprisoned with Shi Ge’s palm strike, making Xiao Ye feel incredibly heavy, as if crushed by a mountain, engulfed by a fatal crisis.

"Damn it!"

"Pretending to kill to silence with such noble words, truly hypocritical!" Xiao Ye was incensed beyond measure.

Seeing no escape, Xiao Ye directly used the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrorizing spiritual power surged, forming countless spirit runes, filling the void, quickly coalescing into the Million-Pattern Battle Map, meeting Shi Ge like a vast universe.

Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt an unmatched power penetrated the Million-Pattern Battle Map, and its aftermath struck him directly.

Pfft!

Neither the scripture nor the ancient scripture phases provided defense, causing half of his spirit body to explode directly.

"Such terrifying strength, I’m utterly no match!"

In shock, Xiao Ye’s figure swiftly retreated while reshaping his spirit body, fleeing into the distance.

"Hmm?"

"This kid’s extreme spiritual method is quite formidable, managing to block my palm strike." Shi Ge was full of surprise.

"Hmph, truly useless, forcing me to make a move."

Meanwhile, the man with long yellow hair had already dashed out, forcefully attacking Xiao Ye.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ancient scripture roared skyward, and a colossal hand soared into the air, pressing down towards Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye’s expression changed dramatically, desperately defending to resist.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Xiao Ye’s vision blacked out; he spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body smashing into the ground like a meteor.

Shi Ge and the yellow-haired man’s figures flashed, stepping through the air, their bodies brimming with killing intent.

"Damn it!"

"Two experts ranked within two hundred of the Realm Spirit List, teaming up against me!" Xiao Ye groaned in pain, filled with rage.

A single expert was enough to inspire despair, let alone two. There was not a glimmer of hope.

"Senior, are you still planning to watch idly?" Xiao Ye hurriedly communicated with the Time Great Saint inside the Time Rain Stone.

"Hehe, boy, my sacred body hasn’t gathered yet, so I can’t help you now. But don’t worry, those two guys are doomed."

"Quickly hide in the Time Tower."

The Time Great Saint’s eerie laughter came, causing Xiao Ye’s eyes to widen slightly.

As if to prove the Time Great Saint’s words.

Bang!

At that moment, a terrifying wave arose from the depths of Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, akin to the ocean’s surge, overwhelming and earth-shattering.

Swiftly, the ground shook violently, and a massive figure shrouded in fog appeared in view, its lantern-like eyes shooting red light, enveloping Xiao Ye and the other two.

Despair!

Silence!

Under the gaze of those eyes, Xiao Ye’s heart was flooded with these two extreme emotions, while Shi Ge and the yellow-haired man suffered like struck by lightning, drenched in sweat, bodies involuntarily trembling as if pinned down, faces full of despair.

"Is this an exotic beast?"

Xiao Ye was terrified to the extreme.

Recalling the Time Great Saint’s advice, he hurriedly concealed himself in the Time Tower.

Before entering the Time Tower, a massive shadow enveloped, eradicating Shi Ge and the yellow-haired man’s spirit bodies entirely.

"Are they all dead?"

Inside the Time Tower, Xiao Ye felt apprehensive, his face pale.

What kind of existence were Shi Ge and the yellow-haired man?

Ranked within two hundred on the Realm Spirit List, killed so effortlessly?

"If this saint is not mistaken, that exotic beast should be the ’Desolate Spirit Beast’, comparable in strength to experts ranked among the top fifty of the Heavenly Spirit List."

"Those two brats awakened the Desolate Spirit Beast, they were clearly courting death."

The Time Great Saint sneered.

"This valley contains such a terrifying exotic beast." Xiao Ye smiled bitterly.

In this light, he was indeed treading the edge of life and death.

"Hide in the Time Tower for a while before venturing out, maybe, with some luck, you’ll find some good stuff off those two brats."

Suddenly, the Time Great Saint spoke again.

Shua!

Xiao Ye’s eyes instantly brightened, his heart racing.

He vividly remembered Shi Ge and the yellow-haired youth had seemed to be fighting over some treasure earlier, now both dead, isn’t it his gain?

After spending a whole month healing within the Time Tower and completely recovering his spirit body, Xiao Ye finally rushed out.
