Chapter 1869 - 1852: Wentian Willow Tree Emerges

Vast Undying Mountain, where mountains stand tall, entirely pitch-black, chillingly steep like dragons roaring toward heaven, with a thin mist floating in the void, filled with danger and mystery.

In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since the numerous Spirit Rank masters in the Second Layer Heaven entered the Undying Mountain.

During these three months, the perpetual silence of the Undying Mountain was broken, and many dangerous places were ventured into, with the scorching spirit blood spreading across the land.

Clang!

Atop a peak within the Undying Mountain, suddenly the sound of clashing metal rings out as a jet-black long spear, resembling a peerless exotic beast, plummets from the Nine Heavens, striking fiercely onto the mountain.

Boom!

The mountain, akin to a black iron cast, instantly trembles, with countless cracks spreading, causing the surrounding hundred-mile black mountains to tremble.

Amidst swirling dust, the mountains within a hundred miles turn into powder, scattering across the heavens and earth, leaving behind bottomless pits.

"Using the Spirit Suppressing Technique to empower the Devouring Spirit Spear, its power surpasses even the third form of the Devouring Spirit Spear, casually on par with the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique’s Million-Pattern Battle Map."

Xiao Ye stopped, holding the Devouring Spirit Spear with a face full of excitement.

The journey to the Undying Mountain has only lasted three months, but under the Time Amplification of the Time Tower, along with occasional guidance from the Time Great Saint, he has cultivated this Extreme Spiritual Method to the entry-level phase.

With the Spirit Suppressing Technique in hand, any spiritual weapons across the Three Thousand Great Realms can be utilized by him, capable of infinite transformations, where any spiritual artifact can exhibit the power of the Extreme Spiritual Method.

If he can obtain special spiritual artifacts, the power can be further enhanced; thus, the Spirit Suppressing Technique is even more formidable than the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique.

"With my current strength, I can completely contend with masters ranked around seventy to eighty on the Realm Spirit List; it’s time to continue the journey." Xiao Ye gazed toward the east of the Undying Mountain, silently contemplating.

The next moment, he used the Devouring Spirit Spear to break open the ground, retrieving Lin Tian’s remains and placing them inside.

"Senior Lin Tian, thank you for your Extreme Spiritual Method."

Xiao Ye erected a simple tombstone for Lin Tian, letting him rest in peace. After paying his respects solemnly, he continued on his journey.

Since cultivating the Spirit Suppressing Technique, Xiao Ye stayed in place for three months, having fallen behind most Martial Artists, so upon resuming his journey, he didn’t encounter any Martial Artists.

Nevertheless, Xiao Ye wasn’t anxious; besides continuing to comprehend and cultivate the Spirit Suppressing Technique along the way, the two spirit bodies within the Time Tower were also continuing to refine Cosmic Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Pills.

Although the Tai Chu Spirit Flower resembles a black hole, if all the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Pills are refined, then by unifying these two spirit bodies, the likelihood of breaking through to the Late Stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm is exceedingly high.

With reminders from the Time Great Saint, he could frequently avoid crises, saving considerable time, and soon catch up.

Xiao Ye traveled east in the Undying Mountain.

"Ah, help!"

Suddenly, a desperate cry reverberated through the mountains, causing Xiao Ye to look up, only to see three Martial Artists rushing over with terror-stricken faces as if fleeing from some dreadful entity.

"All are Spirit Rank Peak Martial Artists, and carrying the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture!"

Xiao Ye’s Spiritual Sense enveloped them, and his heart jolted.

These three Martial Artists are incredibly swift, surely top hundred contenders on the Realm Spirit List, yet scared like this?

Boom!

At that moment, the region quaked, with sky-high waves sweeping from afar, as a tall, majestic man stepped out of the void.

His gaze is empty, wearing flowing cold light Iron Armor, his aura imposing like a towering mountain, suppressing the skies, even causing heavens to shiver, with endless black mountains rumbling.

The man’s speed is terrifyingly boundless, effortlessly catching up to those three Martial Artists, directly striking dominantly.

He invoked the frightening atmosphere of the Undying Mountain, with endless fog surging, causing the entire world to tremble and all things underfoot to lament.

Within mere moments, two Martial Artists’ spirit bodies were ground to dust, with even their souls shredded, as the remaining Martial Artist darted fiercely toward Xiao Ye.

"Xiao Ye?"

"Lend me your life!"

The Martial Artist recognized Xiao Ye and reached out, attempting to grab Xiao Ye to fling him toward the man.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered with cold light.

The man’s strength is too horrifying, and this Martial Artist wishes to drag me into it?

Clang!

Xiao Ye applied the Spirit Suppressing Technique, wielding the Devouring Spirit Spear in a slashing strike.

Boom!

In an instant, the Devouring Spirit Spear erupted with fierce Wu Guang, evolving an unparalleled Spear Technique, enveloping the Martial Artist.

Thud!

An earth-shattering gigantic sound. The Martial Artist cried out in pain, with his right hand exploding entirely, his figure recoiling back, looking at Xiao Ye in shock: "You... you’re this strong?"

He’s a contender ranked eighth on the Realm Spirit List, yet blown away by Xiao Ye’s single spear strike?

Rumble...

Before he recovers consciousness, the man had already arrived, pounding him into pieces with a single blow.

"Such terrifying speed, faster than my current Third Scripture Phase!"

"Who on earth is this guy? Isn’t he supposed to be a Martial Artist from the Second Layer Heaven, or is he a creature from the Undying Mountain?"

Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted fiercely, feeling his whole body tense, staring at that man, as if confronting a formidable adversary.

With this man’s speed, even if I wanted to flee, it’s too late. The gap is indeed too vast.

Unexpectedly, the man’s empty gaze merely glanced at Xiao Ye, then directly snatched a Space Ring from the ground, crushing it, scattering Cosmic Spiritual Treasures all over, with a distinctly visible twig exerting Dao Rhythm natural Qi.

He collected the twig, repeated his trick, crushed the other two Martial Artists’ Space Rings, took the twigs from inside, and vanished into the sky.

Left behind, Xiao Ye was left utterly astonished.

"Asking Heaven Willow!"

"That’s the Asking Heaven Willow!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes turned crimson immediately, his mind buzzing.

The reason this man pursued the three Martial Artists was likely due to the Asking Heaven Willow.

"The Asking Sky Willow Tree is born, Xiao Ye, follow him!"

"To simultaneously exhibit the Four Great Scripture Phases in the Taichu Ancient Scripture, you must obtain the Asking Sky Willow Tree!" The urgent voice of the Time Great Saint echoed from the Time Rain Stone.

"Alright!"

No need for words, Xiao Ye directly employed the Third Scripture Phase to give chase.

That man’s speed was too fast, lightly stepping through mountains and lands, leaving Xiao Ye to frantically pursue, still unable to catch up, losing sight of the target.

But as he chased, the ground-shaking sound of battle rose from ahead, echoing endlessly, leading him forward.

"Is that... the Asking Sky Willow Tree?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ye halted, his gaze slightly dazed.

Within the mountains, stood a vast willow tree enshrouded by mist, like a sentinel in the universe, suppressing the Ten Thousand Worlds, with soft willow branches dangling, gently swaying, resonating with the Sound of Tao.
