Chapter 1706 - 1689: Xiao Is Here
On the Spirit King Stairs, above the fifth thousand and one hundredth continent.
Boom!
A fiery blood-red pillar of light shot straight to the skies, triggering a massive array filled with boundless killing intent, enveloping over half the continent, whipping up endless storm clouds.
A group of Spirit Rank Martial Artists yelled out, unleashing their spiritual power, clashing hard against this grand killing array, trying to break through.
The killing arrays of the Three Thousand Great Realms are far more formidable and exquisite than those of the low-level planes. The one before us is terrifying. Despite parts of it being broken by the experts who have passed, it remains so potent that even Earth Spirit Realm experts dare not underestimate it.
"What a terrifying array!"
"I’ve teamed up with these people, struggling to break through, only reaching around the fifth thousandth continent, while those Ten Great Powerhouses and Demon Warriors... rely on themselves to pull ahead."
"It seems it’s almost impossible for me to become Spirit King this time."
Luo Xie, horned and towering, was among them, unleashing all his strength, jointly clashing against the killing array with over a dozen companions, his face pale.
Though he possessed the Earth Spirit Early Stage realm, he couldn’t compare to those Ten Great Powerhouses and Demon Warriors, even seeming ordinary among his companions.
Only upon reaching the Spirit Capital did Luo Xie realize his insignificance.
At this moment—
Whoosh!
A figure shot forth like an arrow, spiritual power on his body erupted like a torrent, shaking the grand killing array, dominating all heavens, creating a defensive path that seemed to allow him to effortlessly pass through the killing array.
This scene immediately shocked Luo Xie and the others.
"Senior... could you take me along? I can provide you with Cosmic Spiritual Treasure!" Luo Xie couldn’t help but shout, wanting to chase the figure.
Their group worked together yet hadn’t breached the killing array. The newcomer passed through so easily, his strength was terrifying.
The figure paused, turned leisurely, causing Luo Xie’s soul to tremble, his eyes wide, beads of sweat rolling down.
He’d never forget the appearance of the newcomer; it was Xiao Ye!
"Luo Xie, our grievances have not been forgotten," Xiao Ye’s black hair danced wildly as his fierce gaze fell, and the next moment his figure vanished, leaving Luo Xie lost in despair.
The guy who broke through from a low-level plane became this strong?
He even had the illusion...
That not even Demon Warriors might handle him.
...
In the starry sky, under the gaze of shocked eyes, the silhouette of Xiao Ye shot forth like an arrow, running wild on the Spirit King Stairs, the danger and arrays across the continents were all shattered, unable to stop his steps.
Fifth thousand seven hundred-step!
Fifth thousand eight hundred-step!
Fifth thousand nine hundred-step!
Six thousand-step!
...
In less than a stick of incense’s time, Xiao Ye inexplicably rushed to the six thousandth continent!
Such stunning speed couldn’t help but draw everyone’s attention.
"It’s that kid named Xiao Ye!"
"Did this kid always hide his strength?"
"My God, at this sprinting speed, even the Ten Great Powerhouses probably can’t reach this pace."
...
In the starry sky, the sound of sharp intakes of breath erupted, the Spirit Capital’s factions couldn’t remain calm; faces filled with shock, even the Five Law Enforcement Envoys cast their glance.
Xiao Ye’s speed was astonishingly fast; despite the short time gone by, he surpassed most Martial Artists, closely pursuing those Ten Great Powerhouses and Demon Warriors!
"That’s Lord Xiao Ye, I knew Lord Xiao Ye wouldn’t fail!"
In the Pan Family’s ranks, Pan Yun’er cheered excitedly, her face flushed with excitement.
"This..."
Pan Lingtian’s heart trembled fiercely, followed by elation, like a drowning person clutching at a straw.
The Pan Family’s Martial Artists, after a silence, also erupted in cheers, sweeping away previous gloom.
"This Xiao Ye indeed has some skills, but his rapid sprint is because most crises and arrays along the way were destroyed by those Ten Great Powerhouses and Demon Warriors up ahead."
"He endured till now clearly to make a splash."
"After the sixth thousand-step on the Spirit King Stairs, the crises and arrays escalate a tier. Even those Ten Great Powerhouses would take considerable time to pass, so Xiao Ye’s speed would naturally slow down."
At that moment, the Xia Family Master spoke dispassionately, then cast a sarcastic glance at Pan Lingtian, leaving the latter’s heart heavy as if a basin of cold water extinguished him, cooling him down entirely.
The Xia Family Master’s words were harsh but after some thought, not unreasonable.
After the sixth thousand-step on the Spirit King Stairs, indeed the crises on the continents escalated, Xiao Ye’s speed naturally would slow down.
"Dad, Lord Xiao Ye is almost rushing toward the seven thousandth continent!" At this moment, Pan Yun’er’s voice came, silencing all in the starry sky.
"Rushing to the seven thousandth continent? Impossible!"
The Xia Family Master’s vision darkened, filled with disbelief.
He released boundless spiritual sense to envelop, indeed detecting Xiao Ye’s silhouette flashing, reaching near the six thousand eight hundredth continent.
Even given the escalating crises on upcoming continents, they couldn’t stop Xiao Ye.
At this moment, the Xia Family Master’s face reddened like he had eaten a dead child, speechless.
He had just mocked the Pan Family, and Xiao Ye’s performance followed, retaliating fiercely.
"Haha, Xia Family Master, really troubling you to worry," Pan Lingtian laughed heartily, extremely excited.
The Pan Family had long been suppressed and bullied by the Xia Family, it was his first time seeing the Xia Family Master humbled before him!
"It seems Lord Leng Ming allowed this kid to join the Spirit King Competition for a reason."
"I’m curious, is the Spirit Seed he possesses really just mid grade?"
"Demon Warriors were invited by Ethan Law Enforcement Officer, even among the Ten Great Powerhouses, only two fall under Lord Leng Ming’s banner; this time in the Spirit King Competition, Lord Leng Ming’s losing strongly, perhaps this kid might win a breath."
...
In the starry sky, under Lord Leng Ming’s command, the three Spirit Kings were all ablaze with intense eyes.
On the Spirit King Stairs, Xiao Ye’s silhouette finally appeared at the seven thousandth continent.
"Now comes my battle with those Ten Great Powerhouses and Demon Warriors, nothing can stop me."
Xiao Ye’s deep gaze ripped through the sky long, able to see the Ten Great Powerhouses’ shadows already.
"Demon Warrior, weren’t you going to settle with me? Now, here comes Xiao!"
Xiao Ye howled toward the sky, the Tai Chu Spirit Seed within him trembled, surprisingly causing his speed to surge again, swiftly spanning the continents, directly upon the Ten Great Powerhouses.
