Chapter 1705 - 1688: Xiao Ye Erupts
A myriad of small continents float in the starry sky, stacked layer upon layer, stretching deep into the starry abyss, forming the Spirit King Stairs, a truly astonishing sight that has ignited the fiery passion within every Martial Artist’s body in the starry sky.
Even the Martial Artists from various factions in Spirit Capital now have red eyes.
The three Spirit King positions—whoever can ascend the ten thousand tiers first will claim them!
In such a situation where countless eyes are watching, how dazzling would it be to ascend to the Spirit King Position? I believe the strongest in the Blue Demon Star Domain—Blue Demon—must be observing in secret.
Boom!
As Leng Ming’s words fell, a swarm of geniuses and Martial Artists beneath the starry sky rushed up, directly charging towards the First Level of the stairs’ continent.
"Everyone take care, there may be dangers on these continents; we are all serving ’Wan Kun’ my Lord, let’s form teams to explore first, then rely on our skills to compete for the Spirit King Position!"
"Better safe than sorry, being cautious is never wrong."
"I’ve heard that becoming a Spirit King not only grants you command of a significant force, but you can also obtain even higher-level Cosmic Spiritual Treasures from the Law Enforcement Envoy and Lord Blue Demon. Now with one of the three Spirit King positions gone, we must seize the remaining two!"
...
None of the Martial Artists who received invitations from the Five Law Enforcement Envoys to attend the Spirit King Competition are fools, as they raced towards the first continent, they instinctively gathered.
No choice!
There are dangers everywhere in the Three Thousand Great Realms.
Wanting to ascend to the Spirit King Position with commanding power is certainly not simple, even powerful Spirit Rank Martial Artists dare not be careless at this moment.
As Martial Artists invited by the Five Law Enforcement Envoys formed teams, Xiao Ye and the Martial Artists under Leng Ming’s command also shot a wary look, soared into the sky, heading towards the first continent.
But at this moment, three Spirit Rank Martial Artists suddenly flew in, blocking their way.
"Lord Demon Weapon has decreed, if any of you dare to team up with Xiao Ye, then at that time Lord Demon Weapon will settle accounts with you together."
Their mocking gazes cast upon Xiao Ye, and after dropping these words, they charged towards the first continent.
"This..."
Upon hearing these words, Leng Ming’s Martial Artists under his command suddenly shivered internally, instinctively distancing themselves from Xiao Ye, as if avoiding a plague.
"Preventing others from teaming up with me? Truly a malicious thought."
"Demon Weapon, even if you don’t come to settle accounts with me, I will seek you out."
Xiao Ye remained calm, staring at the silhouette bathed in silver light charging at the forefront, directly ascending the first continent.
"This Demon Weapon, though very capable, known as the second Jiang Kong, is too petty."
"However, participating in the Spirit King Competition is his own choice; even if he falls, Lord Xuanlong would not blame me. He must rely on himself to establish a base in Spirit Capital."
In the starry sky, Leng Ming observed this scene, his expression becoming extremely unnatural.
Ascending the Spirit King Stairs, what kind of dangers would be encountered, he was very aware.
Now, although Demon Weapon had not directly attacked Xiao Ye, he was suppressing him with sheer momentum.
"Hmm?"
"Xiao Ye’s realm..."
Suddenly, Leng Ming’s whole body trembled, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
He, being a Law Enforcement Envoy, what a high viewpoint he possesses?
...
Spirit King Stairs.
As everyone anticipated, these one after another small continents indeed have layer upon layer of crises, not only populated with all sorts of mechanisms but also obstructed by Illusion Arrays.
The initial difficulty was not high; the Five Law Enforcement Envoys’ Martial Artists easily bypassed, swiftly rushing to over a hundred tiered continent stairs.
And at this time, everyone’s differences also fully revealed themselves.
Demon Weapon was still a lone standout, ascending the Spirit King Stairs alone, far ahead, having already reached over two hundred tiered stairs, unrivaled.
Following closely are ten Martial Artists.
These ten Martial Artists have surging Spiritual Power, each one being an Earth Spirit Realm Martial Artist.
The most crucial aspect is, the Mid Grade Spirit Seed they manifest has taken root and sprouted, unleashing infinite Power, and they too act individually while closely following Demon Weapon.
Besides Demon Weapon, these ten Martial Artists are recognized by various forces in Spirit Capital as strong contenders for this Spirit King Position.
"Where is Xiao Ye?"
Pan Lingtian released vast Spiritual Sense, anxiously searching for Xiao Ye among the ten thousand small continents yet found nothing.
"Xiao... Lord Xiao Ye is there, on the ninetieth continent."
Pan Yun’er’s awkward voice came beside him.
At this moment, Pan Yun’er also widened her eyes, filled with disbelief.
She who saw Xiao Ye as the hope of her family, has reached only the ninetieth continent up to now?
Needless to say, under the Five Law Enforcement Envoys, most of the five thousand plus experts are on over a hundred continents, making such a lagging performance indeed far behind.
If events proceed this way, it seems, by the time the three Spirit Kings emerge, Xiao Ye will yet to reach the end of the Spirit King Stairs.
"The ninetieth continent!"
Pan Lingtian’s Spiritual Sense enveloped and indeed found Xiao Ye’s trace, his face immediately turning pale as paper.
Is it...
The Ancient Spirit Rune Technique that Xiao Ye has comprehended is indeed lacking in power?
"Hahaha! The genius wholeheartedly supported by your Pan Family ends up as a straggler, if I were you, Pan Lingtian, I would leave here quickly to avoid public embarrassment."
In the starry sky, Spirit Capital’s Martial Artists from various factions erupted in laughter, infuriating Pan Family Martial Artists red-faced, yet simultaneously despairing.
...
Meanwhile, on the hundredth continent.
Swish!
A youth clad in a black robe descended from the sky, his expression calm.
"Spirit King Stairs, indeed one level more perilous than another, as you progress the dangers increase."
"Rushing too fast now will face all dangers head-on, better to hold back and conserve strength, until encountering real danger then unleash." Xiao Ye’s face showed a slight smile.
Since ascending the Spirit King Stairs, the times he struck could be counted on fingers; most of the traps and arrays along the way had been dismantled by the vanguard troops, which he easily traversed.
After all, rushing at the forefront now does not guarantee staying so until the end.
And as expected by Xiao Ye.
Ten days have passed, as numerous Martial Artists climbed halfway they encountered increasing dangers, with some already fallen, slowing naturally.
As for the forefront Demon Weapon and the Ten Great Experts, they have reached seventy-eight thousand stairs.
"Seems I cannot rely on these guys, and have been left too far behind by Demon Weapon."
On the fourth thousand continent, Xiao Ye smashed an Illusion Array, shook his head, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, Taichu Spirit Seed within his body lightly trembled, unleashed terrifying Taichu Spiritual Power, causing him to vanish from where he stood.
"Wha... who? Such rapid speed, am I seeing things?"
A Spirit Rank Martial Artist got shocked, quickly flew up, yet saw no trace.
At this moment, the Five Law Enforcement Envoys and various factions in Spirit Capital observing the Spirit King Competition boiled into excitement.
For within the Spirit King Stairs, a black silhouette appeared as if a God has descended, roaming unchallenged, surpassing Martial Artists one by one at astonishing speed!
