Chapter 1862 - 1845: Realm Spirit List Reshuffling

The Eight Great Masters have been expelled!

At this moment, within the Stone Giant City, silence descended.

As each martial artist exhaled in relief, their gazes discreetly turned to Xiao Ye, with guilt clouding their eyes, words left unsaid.

Why were the Eight Great Masters so proud and unwilling to leave?

Apart from Yi Tianzhou’s influence, the biggest reason was that in such a place as the Second Layer Heaven, following powerful beings ensured one’s safety.

After all, martial artists like the Eight Great Masters, even without acting, exert an invisible deterrence.

Yet, the words uttered by the Eight Great Masters had thoroughly chilled their hearts.

As for Xiao Ye’s strength, it had completely subdued them, but unfortunately, when Xiao Ye was expelled years ago, none of them spoke up for justice.

So, when the Eight Great Masters left, wanting to follow Xiao Ye was an awkward topic.

"Xiao... Lord Xiao Ye, we have nothing to do with this, we were merely following the orders of that bastard Xie Tian to come against you."

"Lord Xiao Ye, we hope you don’t hold it against us."

"Yes indeed, Lord Xiao Ye, if you seek revenge, it should be against Xie Tian."

...

At present, the twenty martial artists who followed Xie Tian were filled with fear, pleading to Xiao Ye.

On the Realm Spirit List, they were ranked around three hundred to four hundred, boasting significant strength.

But Xiao Ye could even expel the Eight Great Masters, let alone them.

"You damned creatures!" The heavily injured Xie Tian awoke, silently repairing his Spirit Body, his pale face filled with despair.

Xiao Ye’s strength had risen too rapidly, now completely surpassing him, with endless potential, leaving no hope for revenge.

"Hand over all your Cosmic Spiritual Treasures and then get lost!" Xiao Ye coldly glanced at these martial artists.

"Yes... Yes!"

These twenty martial artists felt a pardon and, without hesitation, retrieved their Space Rings, handed them to Xiao Ye, and swiftly departed.

Compared to Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, their lives were naturally more valued.

"As for you..." Xiao Ye’s deep eyes turned to Xie Tian, his figure flashed, appearing beside him, immobilizing him and confiscating all his Space Rings.

"Shatter!"

In an instant, Xiao Ye activated the Taichu Ancient Scripture, terrifying spiritual power exploded forth, directly surging at Xie Tian.

Xie Tian’s strength was already inferior to Xiao Ye’s, moreover, after being heavily injured...

Buzz!

His figure was sent flying, ancient scripture booming from his body, blood flowed from his seven orifices, a large Spirit Flower emerged, quickly dimming, cracks spread across it, then swiftly shattered, transforming into nihilism.

Xie Tian’s Spirit Flower was shattered!

Witnessing this, all the masters were shocked by Xiao Ye’s determined decisiveness, shivering down their spines.

"Haha!"

"The victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit, I have nothing to say."

Xie Tian was unexpectedly calm, laughed bitterly, staggered and slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Xiao Ye showed not a shred of mercy.

He was not a cold-blooded demon, but the Three Thousand Great Realms were brutal, either you killed or were killed.

If Xiao Ye’s strength were insufficient, he might have been the one crippled today.

The enmity between him and Xie Tian was unresolvable, and if left to leave safely, would only sow future threats.

"Xiao Ye, what do you plan to do with these martial artists?" Yu Ming flew over, his face filled with sentiment.

When Xiao Ye first entered the Holy World’s Second Layer Heaven, he was no match for him, but now he had grown to such a level.

"I, Xiao Ye, am not petty. If you wish to stay and accompany me in resisting the Second Layer Heaven’s ten alchemists, you are welcome, and I will protect you, unlike the Eight Great Masters who tower above."

"However, if anyone simply wants to gain Yi Tianzhou’s Spirit Pills without contributing, I will show no mercy."

Xiao Ye spoke as he gazed at the martial artists within Stone City.

Though his strength was formidable, it hadn’t reached the point of sweeping through the Second Layer Heaven, and if these martial artists genuinely wished to follow him, it would save quite some trouble.

On hearing Xiao Ye’s words, these martial artists found it almost unbelievable.

Was Xiao Ye willing to overlook past grievances?

"If you are willing to respect Brother Xiao Ye, I will continue to craft Spirit Pills for you, treating everyone equally."

Yi Tianzhou, beside them, spoke eagerly.

Six years ago, due to Xiao Ye’s expulsion, Yi Tianzhou refused to craft Spirit Pills, angering the Eight Great Masters; his words now shook the hearts of the martial artists within the city.

"Lord Xiao Ye, I am willing to stay!"

"I too am willing to stay!"

"Damn it, I’ve been displeased with those Eight Great Masters for a long time, I am willing to respect Lord Xiao Ye!"

"Thank you, Lord Xiao Ye, for repaying grace with virtue."

...

Instantly, martial artists stepped forward, faces grateful, saluting Xiao Ye.

"Very good!"

Xiao Ye nodded, his deep gaze sweeping towards the outside of the city.

"The ten alchemists actually invited an existence ranked in the top hundred on the Realm Spirit List..." Xiao Ye’s expression became solemn.

He was not arrogant.

He knew well that being able to expel the Eight Great Masters was due to benefiting from the Third Scripture Phase, enabling him to defeat them one by one.

If faced directly, defeating the collaboration of the Eight Great Masters would indeed be tough.

And the alchemists invited a being ranked in the top hundred on the Realm Spirit List, whom only the Eight Great Masters combined could repel, the gap is evident.

"I must continue refining Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, letting the Avatar continue to advance, otherwise, if the ten alchemists act, it will be troublesome."

"Moreover, the day to enter the Undying Mountain is soon approaching."

Xiao Ye thought to himself, flying back to Stone Giant City with Yi Tianzhou.

Time swiftly flew by.

The news of Xiao Ye’s fierce battle with Xie Tian and the Eight Great Masters, and Stone Giant City’s change of ownership quickly spread, stirring quite a commotion in Second Layer Heaven.

Many martial artists turned back seeking allegiance.

Of course, Xiao Ye did not indiscriminately accept everyone, even removing some from the city, most notably Yuan Tianyou.

Xiao Ye genuinely stepped into the realm of power within the Second Layer Heaven, becoming a focal point of attention.

Meanwhile, the ten alchemists’ side remained quite calm, seemingly choosing a period of dormancy.

On this day—

Boom!

An overwhelming momentum seemed to stretch across the river of time, descending upon the Holy World, while a grand voice resonated like a bell through every martial artist’s mind in the Holy World, awakening countless intimidating presences.

"Fifty years have swiftly passed, the river of time washes away countless geniuses, who can endure calamities and stand at the peak?"

"The Taixu Saint Realm’s Realm Spirit List rotates every fifty years, now, the Realm Spirit List is about to change!"
