Chapter 1712 - 1695: The Spiritual Path Is Broken, the Holy Road Out of Reach
In the vast starry sky of the Spirit Capital, there was a silence, as everyone was shocked to gaze upon the youth shrouded in divine radiance atop the Spirit King Stairs, as if facing an invincible War God, their hearts were racing.
Xiao Ye’s realm broke through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation, the cracks on the Tai Chu Spirit Seed covered it, appearing as if about to shatter, with each tender sprout swaying, containing terrifying power, as if about to be born, the unleashed Tai Chu Spiritual Power soared into the universe, increasing severalfold, far beyond any other Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, and the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique of the First Realm was naturally executed with ease.
After Xiao Ye’s strong breakthrough, his power surged, even the demon weapon wielding the Devouring Spirit Spear was easily suppressed, and the spear was even snatched away.
Before the Spirit King competition began, those strong contenders and demon weapons favored by all forces in the Spirit Capital could not hold a candle to Xiao Ye, all were suppressed and could not lift their heads.
"Xiao Ye has won, he steps over countless geniuses and strongmen to ascend to the Spirit King Position!"
"This is probably the most exciting duel in the history of the Spirit King competition!"
"A Spirit King at the late-stage Spirit Transformation, almost unprecedented in the history of the Spirit Capital, only Jiang Kong of that year could contend with him."
"Compared to demon weapons, Xiao Ye can indeed be called the second Jiang Kong."
"Was that the Ancient Scripture Phenomenon of the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture that Xiao Ye erupted earlier? Truly terrifying."
"Another monster capable of triggering the Ancient Scripture Phenomenon at the late-stage Spirit Transformation!"
...
After the silence, heated cheers broke the starry silence, all the Martial Artists were shocked, their moods varied, even the Five Law Enforcement Envoys and their subordinate Spirit Kings had different expressions.
The most excited were none other than the Martial Artists of the Pan Family.
The surprises Xiao Ye brought them were truly numerous.
Though Xiao Ye had not yet ascended to the last continent of the Spirit King Stairs, even the demon weapons had been suppressed, who else could compete with him?
The Spirit King competition no longer held any suspense at this point.
Compared to the Pan Family, the Xia Family Master’s lungs were about to explode with rage.
The Xia Family had paid a tremendous price, even going as far as to use the Devouring Spirit Spear to win over demon weapons, only to be intercepted by Xiao Ye.
"Look, Xiao Ye is starting to sprint!"
At this moment, an exclamation interrupted everyone’s thoughts, and they saw that in the direction of the Spirit King Stairs, Xiao Ye’s figure, like a stream of light, rushed straight towards the top of the Spirit King Stairs.
"The demon weapons have been defeated; there are two Spirit King Positions left, quick, go!"
"Success or failure depends on this moment!"
...
Because of the duel between Xiao Ye and demon weapons, the Spirit King competition was forced to pause, quite a few Martial Artists had caught up, and now they all launched their sprints, engaging in intense battles simultaneously.
The Spirit King competition had reached its most critical moment!
There was no doubt Xiao Ye would become a Spirit King; the question was who would seize the remaining two Spirit King Positions.
Among them, under Leng Ming’s command, the two strong performers were particularly outstanding, closely following Xiao Ye.
Meanwhile, the two powerful figures under Isen Law Enforcement Officer were completely intimidated by Xiao Ye, not daring to charge too fast, feeling bound and restricted.
Yet Xiao Ye paid no regard to the Martial Artists behind him, continuing on his way, immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, while probing the Ancient Scripture Image of the Taichu Ancient Scripture.
Clearly, the moment he broke through, the character ’Jing’ that withstood an attack from the demon weapon was undoubtedly the Ancient Scripture Image of the Taichu Ancient Scripture. Such power left a deep impression on him, as if it were the nemesis of all Ancient Scripture Images.
Unfortunately, no matter how he urged the Tai Chu Spirit Seed, he could not trigger the Ancient Scripture Image again.
"It seems the Ancient Scripture Image of the Taichu Ancient Scripture is too overpowering, my realm is insufficient, so I cannot manifest it."
After attempting for a long time, Xiao Ye smiled wryly and gave up.
It seems that only when he breaks through to the Earth Spirit Realm can he touch upon the Ancient Scripture Image of the Taichu Ancient Scripture.
Though the later stages of the Spirit King Stairs presented greater crises on each continent, they posed no barrier in front of Xiao Ye after his realm breakthrough.
Using the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique, he swept through with overwhelming force, advancing strongly.
Eighty-five hundred continents!
Nine thousand continents!
Ninety-five hundred continents!
...
In just half a day’s time, Xiao Ye looked far ahead and saw the first ten thousandth continent.
It was the last layer of the Spirit King Stairs, entirely golden, radiating faint golden light, forever enduring, standing on the highest point of the Spirit King Stairs, overlooking all.
Swoosh!
Xiao Ye’s figure flashed, like a Roc soaring straight up, descending from the sky, landing on the first ten thousandth continent. Though his robe was tattered, his magnificence was unparalleled, overlooking the entire Spirit King Stairs, Supreme!
The first Spirit King was born!
At that moment, intense cheers erupted from the Pan Family under the starry sky.
"Are the other two Spirit Kings them?"
Xiao Ye stood on the Golden Continent, quietly recovering from his injuries, waiting for half a day until he finally saw two figures, one behind the other, appear in his view.
These were two Spirit Rank Martial Artists bathed in blood, their faces pale, and Xiao Ye recognized at a glance that these two were the ones previously pursued by demon weapons, the two strong figures under Leng Ming.
At that moment, everyone in the starry sky held their breath.
Heavens!
Could it be that this time in the Spirit King competition, the three Spirit King Positions will all be taken by Leng Ming Law Enforcement Officer?
"Xiao Ye, thank you."
Noticing Xiao Ye’s gaze, those two Spirit Rank strongmen sent a Spiritual Sense, sincerely thanking Xiao Ye.
They were well aware that if not for Xiao Ye, they would not have even come close to touching the Spirit King Position and might have even been in mortal danger under pursuit by demon weapons.
Xiao Ye gazed at the two, smiling slightly.
If he could help Leng Ming Law Enforcement Officer secure all three Spirit King Positions, he naturally would not refuse.
But at this moment—
Boom!
Boundless silver light suddenly blossomed, waves surged in the void, and a bright silver moon slowly rose, casting down sacred silver radiance. The Spirit Rank strongman who was lagging behind trembled all over, directly immobilized in the void, his face instantly turning pale.
"Xiao Ye, do you want me to miss the Spirit King Position? That’s impossible!"
A furious roar rang out, as the blood-stained demon weapon soared across the sky, landing first on the Golden Continent.
Following closely after, the Spirit Rank strongman who wasn’t immobilized by the demon weapon’s image then climbed onto the Golden Continent.
To everyone’s surprise, the demon weapon surged forth at the last moment, seizing a Spirit King Position.
The sprinting Spirit Rank Martial Artists each wore a look of despair on their faces.
"Demon weapon, you truly have a strong life, managing to climb while so severely injured. If I’d known, I should have crippled you then." Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed with frigid light.
"Cripple me? You no longer have the chance for that, and I’ll make you pay the price!" The heavily panting demon weapon grinned, exuding an ominous air.
Xiao Ye snorted coldly, withdrawing his gaze.
Now that the three Spirit Kings had been born, the Spirit King competition was over, and the Five Law Enforcement Envoys would not stand idly by if he attempted to strike at the demon weapon.
"I have objections regarding the three Spirit Kings of this occasion."
At this moment, Isen soared into the starry sky, his dark-skinned elder form flew over, his chilling gaze fixed on Xiao Ye: "A person whose Spiritual Path is severed, whose Holy Road is nowhere in sight, is not qualified to sit on the Spirit King Position!"
