Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao went to the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and entered. The moment he stepped on the Third Floor, he arrived in a strange world.

Where Ye Xiao appeared was a lush and verdant grassland. A little further away, there was a huge ancient tree that was as tall as a hundred meters and as thick as the arms of dozens of people quietly grew on the ground. It was surrounded by dense fog and looked extremely hazy. That huge verdant tree was exuding a vigorous life force and was swaying slowly in the wind as if it was cheering for Ye Xiao's arrival.

Ye Xiao circulated the Third Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and immediately, many terrifying specks of light suddenly appeared all around him, instantly surrounding Ye Xiao's body!

The specks of light that were floating in the air and visible to Ye Xiao's eyes because of the Third Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was True Essence.

Ye Xiao sat down there and tried to absorb a little amount of True Essence by circulating the Third Layer of his cultivation technique but just like the first time when arrived at the Third Floor and tried to absorb the True Essence, this time also a terrifying amount of True Essence directly wrapped around his body and started drilling inside.

Very soon, Ye Xiao felt his meridians tearing apart and felt as if his body was going to be ruptured. But in this shortest amount of time, he also felt his cultivation base increasing by a large margin.

Ye Xiao knew that he still could not absorb the True Essence, but there was a second option in his hand.

After dealing with the amount of True Essence he absorbed in the shortest amount of time, he swallowed a pill to heal the injuries he just got. After healing, he rested for one hour before he was again ready to do the thing he was most proficient on, Devouring!

Ye Xiao started devouring the True Essence and as he was devouring, he was also refining it. His Cultivation base sky-rocket as it kept increasing.

After breaking through to the Immortal King Realm, Ye Xiao found it very difficult to increase his cultivation base. His speed of cultivation became very slow. If this goes on, he guessed that it'll take him more than ten years to break through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm.

It was no wonder that martial artists would stay stuck at their cultivation realm for more than ten, hundred or even thousands of years.

Well, with True Essence there for him to devour, Ye Xiao now need not worry about his cultivation base not increasing rapidly like before.

Very soon, he got engrossed in devouring the True Essence and cultivating. He was fully immersed and lost the track of time.

.....

Time continue to pass as the flying ship was flapping its wings continuously and was flying at a very fast speed. It was about to be a week since the flying ship took off from the Immortal Star World.

From the Immortal Star World, everyone could see many stars in the night but when they went to the space, the thing they saw was darkness, endless darkness.

There was nothing in the space and only on the third day did they come across a bright star. It was yet another world. The flying ship descended in this world and emissary Zhang Danfeng went to bring the candidates representing this world on the flying ship.

On this day, the flying ship once again entered a new world.

Emissary Zhang Danfeng gathered everyone. This time, there were more than thirty people in total. They were from two different worlds. One of these two worlds was of course the Immortal Star World. As for the other world, it was called the Evergreen World.

Zhang Danfeng was standing opposite the people of two worlds and behind him were standing Wu Cheng, Ta Mu, Huang Daniu, and the other three people. These three people were the judges who came to organize the competition in the Evergreen World.

Zhang Danfeng looked at everyone and didn't see one face that he wanted to see the most among the people present here. He looked at Yue Ying who came with Ye Xiao and asked, "Where is Ye Xiao? Why has he not come again?"

"Emissary Zhang, as you already know, Ye Xiao is still cultivating inside his room. He told me before not to look for him. As soon as he'll end his closed-door cultivation, he'll come out." Yue Ying replied respectfully.

A few days ago, when the flying ship landed on the Evergreen World, Emissary Zhang Danfeng gathered everyone just like this and told them that they'll stay in this world for two days and everyone can go out and have fun in this world for two days.

At that time, seeing that Ye Xiao was not present, he asked where he was and she was the one to reply that he was in closed-door seclusion and will come out soon.

Now, it's been exactly seven days since Ye Xiao closed the door of his room but he still hasn't come out. She was also waiting for him to come out and wanted to have fun with Ye Xiao in the world they were about to land right now.

Zhang Danfeng nodded his head and but disappointment could be clearly seen in his eyes. No one knows the reason for his disappointment. Everyone only thought that Zhang Danfeng thought highly of Ye Xiao and wants to know him more. Not seeing him appear again disappointed him.

If Ye Xiao was here, he would immediately guess the reason for Zhang Danfeng's disappointment. Zhang Danfeng definitely wanted to silence him in this world and since he'll not die on the ship but in this world, he'll not be the one to bear the blame for Ye Xiao's death.

The people of the Evergreen World were also very curious about Ye Xiao. From the moment they climbed the flying ship, they could hear young men and women, and even Wu Cheng, Ta Mu, and Huang Daniu talking about Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao became the center of everyone's attention. It was mainly related to his performance on the Land of Ice and Fire.

The people of the Evergreen World also wanted to meet Ye Xiao but Ye Xiao never showed up. They were also disappointed but the reason for their disappointment was different from Zhang Danfeng's.

"Ok! Everyone, listen carefully. The world you are seeing in front of you is called Heavenly Tiger World. We are going to this world to bring the candidates who'll represent this world to participate in the Competition of the Myriad Worlds. We'll stay in this world for two days, so enjoy yourself. But remember not to go far away. You all have to return here within two days, otherwise, we'll leave you behind."

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

Very soon, the ship landed in the Heavenly Tiger World and everyone went out. Even Wu Cheng, Ta Mu,  Huang Daniu, and the three judges of the Evergreen World went out with Emissary Zhang Danfeng.

Only Yue Ying was left behind. She arrived near Ye Xiao's room and looked at its gate with longing in her eyes. She was waiting for Ye Xiao to come out.

Previously, when the ship landed on the Evergreen World, she went outside but her heart was not in peace. She wanted to stay with Ye Xiao and spend time with him but Ye Xiao was cultivating inside his room.

This time, she didn't plan to go out. If Ye Xiao came out, she'll go with him but if he doesn't come out, she planned to stay on the flying ship.

.....

"BOOM!"

A low sound exploded inside Ye Xiao's body who was completely immersed in devouring the True Essence from the Third Floor and refining it. He was cultivating here for seven whole days and finally made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

He was not at the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm.

Normally, it would have taken him more than ten years to break through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm but because of the True Essence, it only took him seven days.

The difference was huge.

It was also the time when Ye Xiao opened his eyes and ended his cultivation. He doesn't know how much time has passed. What he thought was that it only took him a few moments to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Letting out a deep breath, Ye Xiao stood up. After taking a bath, he finally opened the door of his room.

What appeared in front of him was a beautiful young girl waiting for him with anxious eyes.

Seeing Yue Ying in front of his room, Ye Xiao was surprised.

On the other hand, a bright smile appeared on Yue Ying's face when she saw Ye Xiao finally coming out after seven days.
