Chapter 1972 - 1955: A Formidable Enemy Emerges

Xiao Ye and his group were searching within the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm when they suddenly discovered the traces of other martial artists, naturally feeling a heavy heart.

This time, only three tribe’s powerful warriors came to train in the Slaughter Blood Major World.

And this Ancient Star before them was completely plundered, all the Exotic Beasts were slaughtered, evidently it was the deeds of the powerful warriors from the three tribes.

"It should be the Witch Saint’s doing."

Xiao Ye stepped forward to carefully inspect the corpses of those Exotic Beasts, finding all their bodies erased, with essence blood seemingly drained out, leaving just skin draped over bones; his eyes flashed with brilliance.

He had once confronted the Witch Saint and had a certain understanding of the Witch Saint’s methods.

"I never expected the Witch Saint to survive under such terrifying thunder assaults." Ghost Fire’s eyes became solemn.

Since Ghost Fire survived, the possibility that the Sky Demon Clan and Yue Qianqiu from the Human Clan also survived is exceedingly high, which is absolutely bad news for them.

"Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it."

"Though they survived, they certainly incurred losses. There’s no need to worry, let’s continue our treasure hunt." Xiao Ye calmed down, promptly soared into the universe.

Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens exchanged glances, smiled helplessly, and followed.

Six months later, on a planet in the Starry Sky Secret Realm.

"Damn humans!"

An angry roar shook the void, only to see a gigantic Exotic Beast as vast as a mountain, covered completely in scale armor, roaring furiously, as its fierce Qi spread across the sky, frantically assaulting a towering figure upfront.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only to see the towering figure, erupting with the roar of the Ancient Scripture from its body, the ancient words: scripture, ancient, initial rose into the sky, like three glorious worlds swirling beside him, battling the Exotic Beast alongside.

At the same time, a ’Tai’ character faintly emerged, seemingly floating in chaos, causing the planet to constantly tremble, and massive cracks to spread wide.

Eventually, the Exotic Beast’s aura became increasingly weak, its body riddled with cracked wounds, ultimately screaming a tragic cry before collapsing to the ground, turning into a cold corpse.

If anyone were to witness this battle, they would be utterly astonished.

Because this Exotic Beast was remarkably at the Semi-Saint level, yet was shockingly easily slain.

"The power of the Four Great Scripture Phases of the Taichu Ancient Scripture is indeed terrifying. I haven’t yet cultivated to the Flawless Realm, but can already kill Semi-Saint Exotic Beasts."

Watching the corpse of the Exotic Beast, a trace of smile appeared on Xiao Ye’s face.

The over seven hundred sections of Asking Heaven Willow obtained from Nanmen Clan’s Quasi-Saint made his four-character scripture phase’s power surge significantly, even if it hasn’t reached the Flawless Realm.

With the Semi-Saint Exotic Beast slain, all the other Exotic Beasts on the planet were frightened enough to flee in haste, not daring to linger.

"This planet is great for meditation, waiting for the Yin Yang Fish to appear."

Xiao Ye chose not to pursue, instead casually finding a place to sit cross-legged, took out Asking Heaven Willow, and began to contemplate on the scripture phases.

This Starry Sky Secret Realm is immensely vast indeed.

In the past six months, Xiao Ye, Ghost Fire, and Nine Heavens have been continuously exploring, frequently discovering traces of the powerful warriors of the other two tribes but never truly encountering them.

In addition, Xiao Ye hasn’t located any treasure that piques his interest.

As for Yin Yang Fish, it’s even more elusive.

Thus, he decided not to waste any more time, letting Nine Heavens and Ghost Fire continue exploring the Starry Sky Secret Realm and keep an eye for the Yin Yang Fish, while he prepared to cultivate here.

With all Exotic Beasts purged, this planet seemed incredibly quiet.

Due to being surrounded by strong adversaries, Xiao Ye didn’t want to expose the Time Great Saint, hence refraining from cultivating the Taichu Body, but constantly refining Asking Heaven Willow.

As insights continuously flooded in, Taichu Ancient Scripture’s four-character scripture phases became increasingly distinct around him.

Especially the ’Tai’ scripture phase, exuding a dominance sweeping across All Heavens, and manifesting for longer durations.

It was unclear how long had passed when the four-character scripture phases erupted simultaneously with endless power, seemingly intertwining to form a whole, illuminating the planet with Infinite Divine Light.

Clang clang clang!

But the process was extremely short, it ended as soon as it began, the four-character scripture phases collectively vanished in the void, startling Xiao Ye awake.

"I can sense that I’m very close to the Flawless Realm of the four-character scripture phase!" Xiao Ye’s face was filled with excitement.

He was well aware that the simultaneous eruption of the four-character scripture phases from Taichu Ancient Scripture could battle Saints, essentially requiring the four-character scripture phase to achieve the Flawless Realm.

For instance, the peculiar state he entered using Asking Heaven Willow was indeed the Flawless Realm of the four-character realm phase.

Thanks to refining one section after another of Asking Heaven Willow, he’s now close to reaching this Realm, how could he not be excited?

"Strike while the iron is hot, continue increasing insight."

Looking at the Asking Heaven Willow in hand which had turned to ashes, Xiao Ye wiped his palm over the Space Ring, only to discover the over seven hundred sections of Asking Heaven Willow had been exhausted.

"So it is the will of Heaven!"

"Seems I’ll have to think of a way to get more Asking Heaven Willow." Xiao Ye muttered regretfully, rising to his feet, the Initial Character scripture phase was unleashed, and he instantly vanished from the planet, entering the vast universe.

"The distance of instant teleportation has increased, seems the power of the four-character scripture phase has significantly enhanced." Xiao Ye nodded in satisfaction, his deep gaze looking into the distance.

"Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens, haven’t found the Yin Yang Fish yet?" Xiao Ye ventured onward, softly speaking to himself.

Wuji Dajie’s martial artists communicate through Sound Transmission Golden Pearls.

The area covered by Sound Transmission Golden Pearl is vast, once the Yin Yang Fish is found, the two would surely notify him.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Come quickly, we’ve discovered a treasure land, and saw a Yin Yang Fish appearing within, but that Yin Yang Fish is too fast, we couldn’t catch up."

Just as Xiao Ye was about to contact Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens’ incredibly excited voice emerged from the Sound Transmission Golden Pearl.

"Treasure land?"

Xiao Ye’s expression was bewildered.

Nine Heavens and Ghost Fire accompanied him, naturally they knew he’s not too interested in most Cosmic Spiritual Treasures within this Starry Sky Secret Realm.

Now that what they termed as a treasure land, and notified him, it must be extraordinary.

Moreover, a place where Yin Yang Fish appears can’t be missed.

Following Nine Heavens’ guidance, Xiao Ye’s figure soared across the universe, racing ahead, three days later, a continent appeared before his eyes.

This continent was unusually immense, comparing to a planet, just floating in the universe, seeming unusually abrupt, and at this moment, a sky-high Demonic Qi surged forth, directly enveloping the entire continent, like a Demon Domain.

Meanwhile, no voices emerged from Nine Heavens and Ghost Fire from the Sound Transmission Golden Pearl anymore.

"Did the Sky Demon Clan find this place too?"

Xiao Ye’s black hair drifted, rushing towards the continent.
