It had finally appeared.

Wang Ye looked up at the sky.

This was his first time observing the Saint Spirit Image from such close range.

He had missed the first appearance of the Saint Spirit Image in the Seven-Colored Archipelago.

But this time, he had caught it.

It was completely different from observing it from the Outer Island.

Standing in the Central Islands and looking at the Saint Spirit Image, it was vividly lifelike, as though it were right before his eyes.

He could clearly sense the surging aura of Innate Energy.

Something was wrong!

"This isn't pure Innate Energy!" Wang Ye inwardly shuddered.

Half a Saint Spirit Statue appeared in his hand. It was warm to the touch, with faint traces of mysterious energy remaining within it.

It was exactly the same as the energy concealed in midair!

Wang Ye watched as the Saint Spirit Image in the sky went from bright to dim, gradually disappearing amidst the Auspicious Cloud Descent.

The vague threads in his mind gradually became clear.

Boom!

The sounds of a fierce battle came from afar.

"The energy reaction is very strong. Sacred Jade should have appeared," Ice Heart Master said softly.

"That's great!" Phoenix Master was overjoyed. "Our luck is pretty good. We happened to encounter an Auspicious Cloud Descent!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Snatch it!" Qi Qiqi said excitedly.

Blazing Heaven Master said nothing, but his upright figure was filled with intense fighting spirit.

Wang Ye grabbed a red-clad figure with each hand.

These two were weak but loved fighting.

Although both could fight above their level—one had combat strength comparable to an elementary Supreme Celestial, while the other had reached the threshold of a Celestial—had they not stopped to consider who was competing for the Sacred Jade?

Peak Devil Venerables!

High Demon Celestials!
