Chapter 1977 - 1960: Saint Dao Projection

This sudden outbreak presented a spectacular scene, leaving those watching with expressions of intense astonishment.

"The Witch Clan truly values the Witch Saint, even granting them a ’Witch Talisman’," Yue Qianqiu murmured, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

The Great Realm Qiankun Map unfolded in the Universe, as if opening up a vast realm, the roar of Exotic Beasts rose to the skies, shaking the Nine Heavens. Eight Quasi-Saint Beasts emerged, crushing Heaven and Earth, and soared out to attack the Witch Saint.

The eight Quasi-Saint Beasts resembled eight towering peaks, charging forth with the intent to completely suppress the Witch Saint.

Buzz!

However, at that moment, the heavens seemed to fracture, the Universe suddenly erupted in storms, turbulent and restless, a giant hand covered with complex totems shattered the void, appearing out of nowhere, sweeping across and sending the Quasi-Saint Beasts howling as if they were straw, flying away with blood of various colors gushing forth.

"What!"

Xiao Ye’s body trembled, feeling a terrifying pressure looming over him, a dense sense of crisis sweeping through his being, causing even the Tai Chu Body to tremble.

"To think the Human Clan has produced such an individual, truly remarkable."

"But the way you acted, isn’t it excessively malicious?"

Mist surged in the Universe, as Dao Patterns flowed. A dignified, slender figure appeared out of thin air, its true appearance unclear, very blurry. Clearly before one’s eyes, yet impossible to touch.

"That is..."

At this moment, every Spirit Rank Martial Artist in the Universe trembled, their hearts unsettled, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Before this figure, they felt like ants.

"Xiao Ye! Be careful, that’s the Witch Clan’s ’Witch Talisman’, it’s still capable of summoning a Sacred Dao projection of a Witch Clan Saint Rank Expert even though only a third remains."

"Although the Sacred Dao projection holds no power, it embodies the Sacred Dao, if it wishes to slay you, it shouldn’t be too hard."

From the depths of the Time Rain Stone, came the solemn voice of the Time Great Saint.

"Sacred Dao projection!"

Xiao Ye’s heart trembled, feeling as though facing a great enemy.

"Senior!"

"My destined battle with the Witch Saint is one of strength and confrontation."

"Back in the Black Corner Star Domain, had it not been for the few strengths I possessed, I would have been killed by the Witch Saint long ago. Today, if the Witch Saint wins, they surely wouldn’t spare me, so how can it be deemed malicious?"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ye spoke.

"Well said, you and I are arch-enemies, either you die or I perish. Using the Witch Talisman is for the sole purpose of killing you," the Witch Saint replied coldly.

"Such sharp words."

"But, daring to speak to this Saint like so, aren’t you afraid that this Saint might kill you?" The slender figure spoke, the threat in the words unmistakable.

"The exploration of the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm was jointly decided by the Saint Rank Experts of the three clans. The manifestation of your Sacred Dao projection has already breached the rules, not to mention attacking the younger generation."

"Moreover, only a third of the Witch Talisman remains, the time your Sacred Dao projection could manifest can’t be very long, can it?"

Xiao Ye smiled, composed and calm, showing not a trace of fear.

"You have some insight, to know this is this Saint’s Sacred Dao projection."

"However, youth, don’t be too arrogant."

"Rules are for the weakest, they don’t bind the strong. You might not make a move, but that doesn’t mean others won’t."

The Sacred Dao projection waved a hand, Dao Patterns enveloping the Witch Saint.

"Ancestor, you... Do you genuinely fear the Human Clan Saint Rank Expert, not daring to kill even a mere Spirit Rank Martial Artist?" The Witch Saint exclaimed in shock.

"Silence!"

"Our Witch Clan has high expectations of you. Training in the Witch Clan Ancestral Land, yet unable even to deal with Xiao Ye, and yet you have the face to speak!"

"Return and reflect thoroughly, if you understand nothing, you’re not permitted to leave!"

The figure scolded harshly, the Dao Patterns glowing ever brighter, directly tearing apart this sector of the Universe, disappearing with the Witch Saint.

The Sacred Dao projection took the Witch Saint away?

Witnessing this, Xiao Ye let out a breath of relief, his palms full of cold sweat.

He had been gambling.

Gambling that the Sacred Dao projection wouldn’t dare to make a move against him.

Fortunately, he bet correctly, otherwise, it would be dangerous.

"What the Sacred Dao projection of that Saint Rank Expert said earlier, implies the Demon Clan might make a move against me?" With this thought, Xiao Ye clenched his fists.

Despite possessing the Tai Chu Body, his terrifying power, and numerous trump cards, facing a Sacred Dao projection of a Saint Rank Expert fills him with helplessness.

If a genuine Saint Rank Expert descended, he fears he wouldn’t stand a chance.

"Xiao Ye!"

"Brother Xiao, are you alright?"

At this moment, Nine Heavens and Ghost Fire arrived in succession, asking with lingering fear.

The Witch Saint’s trump card was terrifying, even summoning a Sacred Dao projection of a Saint Rank Expert. If they made a move, none of them would survive.

"I’m fine."

Xiao Ye summoned the Great Realm Qiankun Map, collecting the eight Quasi-Saint Beasts, shaking his head.

Unable to eliminate the formidable enemy, the Witch Saint, was a deep regret for him.

Yet, having trampled the Witch Saint, in the future, they will be even less of a match for him.

He shall become the never-ending nightmare that the Witch Saint cannot escape in this lifetime!

Next, Xiao Ye’s sight turned towards Yue Qianqiu in the distance, along with the Sky Demon Clan expert led by Mo Yue.

"Do you still wish to make a move against me?"

Xiao Ye’s black hair fluttered, stepping forward with composure, speaking calmly.

"Humph!"

Facing the formidable Xiao Ye, the Sky Demon Clan Martial Artists could no longer maintain their previous arrogance, Mo Yue’s purple hair flowing, fists clenched, his expression uncertain.

Xiao Ye’s prowess was undeniably revealed in that previous battle, even in his place, it would be hardly different than the Witch Saint’s outcome.

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, no need to fight, your power is indeed formidable. Instead of wasting time battling here, why not join hands to explore this Burial Artifact Continent, competing by our own merits, what do you think?"

At this moment, accompanied by a light chuckle, Yue Qianqiu stepped forward.

"Yue Qianqiu!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed.

This person is quite mysterious, definitely an enemy and not a friend, intentionally provoking his battle with Mo Yue and the Witch Saint earlier, with malicious intent.

Yet now, standing forth as a peacekeeper?

"Alright!"

"Then let’s explore this Burial Artifact Continent first."

Xiao Ye chuckled coldly inside, but outwardly nodded, unfazed.

Indeed, he was quite taken by this Burial Artifact Continent, not to mention the traces of the Yin Yang Fish within, making him somewhat impatient.

If Mo Yue and Yue Qianqiu dare harm him, he will certainly show no mercy.

He, Xiao Ye, has the confidence and conviction.

Mo Yue also agreed to Yue Qianqiu’s proposal.

Immediately, Xiao Ye, along with Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens, dashed towards Burial Artifact Continent.

"So many weapons!"

As Xiao Ye expanded his Spiritual Sense overlaying across, his eyes revealed intense shock.
