Chapter 1964 - 1947: The Tragedy of the Blood Slaying Clan

Xiao Ye’s black hair danced wildly as he strode forward, an invincible will surging from his body. He directly unfolded a Domain, sweeping toward those five Sky Demon Clan experts.

Extreme Spiritual Method, Mystic Spirit Domain!

By now, this scroll of Spiritual Technique—Xiao Ye had nearly cultivated it to the Highest Realm. Its coverage approached ten thousand miles, and matched with the terrifying foundation of the Taichu Ancient Scripture, its power was horrifying to the Extreme.

Within this Domain, he was like an invincible God; no one could defy his will.

"With Xiao Ye making a move, there’s nothing left for us to do. Everyone stay on guard—don’t let these Sky Demon Clan people attack again and endanger the Blood Slaying Clan!"

Ghost Fire gave a low shout, the roar of an Ancient Scripture spreading from his body, ready to strike at any time.

"What terrifying will and suppression!"

At this moment, the expressions of the five Sky Demon Clan experts changed abruptly. Their Souls trembled in shock, and even their Spirit Bodies crackled and popped, unable to help bending down slightly.

"Break for me!"

One of them, a Sky Demon Clan Martial Artist with an exceptionally towering figure, roared in fury. Purple-black demonic Spiritual Power soared skyward from his body, as if a patch of Demon Abyss had descended, actually shaking the Mystic Spirit Domain.

Boom!

The other four Sky Demon Clan experts seized the opportunity to erupt, urging the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture and completely shredding the Mystic Spirit Domain.

"Dare provoke our Sky Demon Clan, whoever you are—you must die!"

The five Sky Demon Clan experts leapt into the air, surging killing intent sweeping out, their voices shaking the Heaven.

Boom!

Yet before they could charge over, a terrifying stream of Qi suddenly spread out, locking onto them firmly, making their Spirit Bodies sting as if about to split apart.

The next instant—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Endless purple Divine Light blossomed across the sky. Accompanied by Perfect Tai Chu Spiritual Power surging, one purple Spirit Arrow after another tore through the midair, forming a howling sea of arrows that pierced across the firmament.

"What is this?"

The pupils of the five Sky Demon Clan experts contracted. They scrambled in panic to block.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each Spirit Arrow carried unmatched might, madly crashing down. The impact shook the defenses of these Sky Demon Clan experts until they rippled violently, their figures retreating constantly, completely unable to approach.

With Xiao Ye’s current Realm, using the Purple Shadow Spirit Bow, a single arrow could blast apart an ordinary Spirit Rank Peak Expert. These five Sky Demon Clan experts were indeed formidable, but faced with such a dense rain of arrows, they were still suppressed so hard they couldn’t lift their heads.

"This..."

Inside the city, the Blood Slaying Clan clansmen who had been fleeing in panic with faces full of despair all stared blankly at this scene, looking at that youthful figure who kept drawing his bow.

These five Sky Demon Clan experts possessed terrifying strength, nearly slaughtering them all; they were like undefeated devils from Hell. Yet now, the five joining hands were actually suppressed by Xiao Ye alone.

"Damn it, that must be a top-tier Spiritual Artifact, otherwise its power wouldn’t be this great!"

"His Spiritual Power is terrifying as well. If I’m not mistaken, this person is very likely that Martial Artist of the Human Clan, Xiao Ye, the one who cultivated the Taichu Ancient Scripture."

"Hmph, my Sky Demon Clan naturally has strong people who will take action and execute him!"

...

Forced back again and again, the five Sky Demon Clan experts were both shocked and enraged. Many of the scale armor on their bodies had split open. With a dark hatred, they shot Xiao Ye a glare, then all retreated madly.

"These Sky Demon Clan Martial Artists are truly strong. I shot so many Spirit Arrows, yet still couldn’t keep them behind."

"They’re probably not much weaker than Ghost Fire."

Watching those five Sky Demon Clan experts depart, Xiao Ye did not pursue.

He could sense that the Sky Demon Clan expert who used that one move to annihilate an entire Star Domain was not among those five.

Xiao Ye stowed away the Purple Shadow Spirit Bow and looked toward those shivering Blood Slaying Clan clansmen, unable to help letting out a sigh.

In the Three Thousand Great Realms, weakness is original sin—you can only be bullied.

"Even though you saved us, you are outsiders. We will not thank you."

An elderly member of the Blood Slaying Clan stepped forward.

"Child, your father is already dead. Remember these people—they are the culprits who brought this tragedy upon my Blood Slaying Clan. You must cultivate diligently and seek revenge in the future. Don’t let a single one go."

He took the toddler from Ghost Fire’s hands and said coldly.

"Got it, Grandpa."

The toddler stopped crying, seriously looking at Xiao Ye and the others. His gaze was no longer bright; instead, something else had been added to it.

That elder of the Blood Slaying Clan led the remaining clansmen here and quickly departed.

"It seems the Blood Slaying Clan people in the Holy City have no fondness at all for us outsiders. To expect to pry clues about the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm from their mouths is impossible."

Hao Nan sighed.

"Let’s go."

Xiao Ye didn’t mind. He beckoned to the rest from the Taixu Great Realm, rushing into the city together.

Now that the Sky Demon Clan and the Witch Clan had both arrived at the Holy City, they were lagging behind and naturally had to speed up.

The vast and towering Holy City, though still standing, was already engulfed in the fires of war within. Ruins lay everywhere, and numerous Arrays were reduced to empty shells.

Aside from the Blood Slaying Clan corpses littering the ground, the treasures once hidden throughout the Holy City had all been looted as well.

Now this Holy City held nothing but wounds and sorrow, no longer possessing its former glory.

The few Blood Slaying Clan clansmen they occasionally came across either had hollow gazes or were weeping in grief, making the hearts of the Taixu Great Realm group grow even heavier.

"I’ve heard that the Sky Demon Clan and the Witch Clan already arrived at the Holy City ahead of us, but we haven’t seen them again. Could it be that they’ve already found the entrance to the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm?"

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Nine Heavens murmured with worry on his face.

"No, they haven’t."

"They should be over there."

Xiao Ye shook his head, rose into the air, and his deep gaze looked toward the front.

That direction was the center of the Holy City. Xiao Ye’s gaze pierced many buildings, and at the end of his sight he could faintly see a gigantic white Pagoda, towering into the clouds.

"I’ve already sensed the aura of the Witch Saint."

Xiao Ye’s Tai Chu Spirit Flower trembled with excitement, his emotions surging violently, exactly the same as when he carried out the Great Realm Task back then and first encountered the Witch Saint.

That was the anomaly that arose when the Taichu Ancient Scripture encountered its Arch-enemy!

"What?"

Everyone else also took to the air and saw that Pagoda, their eyes instantly burning hot.

They had searched the Holy City for so long, and almost every building they saw had been destroyed, with ruins everywhere. This Pagoda, however, remained intact, standing in the very center of the Holy City—it was definitely extraordinary.

As the saying goes, watching a mountain from afar will run a horse to death.

Although Xiao Ye’s group could already see that Pagoda from afar, as they drew nearer they realized just how long the journey truly was.

Gradually, the Pagoda grew clearer in their sight.

At the same time, terrifying battle fluctuations swept over, shattering the void, abruptly increasing the pressure on the Taixu Great Realm group, slowing their speed and drastically changing their expressions.

"These are Half-Saint Level battle fluctuations!"
