How do we make an Artix live usb from current running Artix image system ?
Would anyone elaborate the definitive step by step work to accomplish it?
Who is "we"? Are you asking, or is some of your alternate egos asking collectively?
Seriously people, the collectivist "we" is so ridiculous., "We are the Borg ..."
What happened to "How can
I do this?"

There are more alternatives, if you would go reading to find them.
Do you mean "make a bootable usb flash" or "remastering an installed Artix system"?
I think they meant how to snapshot their current Artix installation into a bootable ISO image. Linux Live kit and Linux Respin are the two most common solutions, but I'm not sure Respin works on non-Debian based distros. This LinuxMint forum thread (https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=220589) might also be helpful.
Respin and refracta works with Debian.
Remastersys and Wasta-remastersys - with Ubuntu.
There are several tools for remastering of Arch Linux:
arch-remaster
buildiso
Archiso
larch-live
But all of them are not very easy to use, without deep knowledge of Linux.
There's also this: Custom ISO (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/InstallationUsingBuildiso). Not really the same as taking a snapshot of your running system, but it does allow creating a custom ISO.
Yes, specifically using it to build an Artix ISO.
Aborted with error
$ buildiso -p xfce -bc

I just successfully tested building an XFCE ISO in a QEMU XFCE OpenRC guest, using the procedure from the wiki article (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/InstallationUsingBuildiso).
Have you followed that procedure (especially the first two lines from that article)?
Do you have enough free space available on your hard disk? Building a custom ISO requires around 7 GB of free space.
tried to get the Artix now if it's on
-- sda8 ext4 1.0 Artix 2.9G 77% /mnt/xfce/artix/rootfs/
so
$ buildiso -p xfce -sc -r /mnt
get
$ cd /mnt/xfce/iso/LiveOS/ ; ls
rootfs.img rootfs.img.md5
then continue as above, but with error issue
I don't see the steps you listed in the wiki article that I linked. Again, follow the procedure from that article, and make sure you have at least 7GB of hard disk space available.
