Chapter 816
After chatting with Zhang Tao, Ye Xiao come to about many things. He also understood what kind of clan the Heaven Stealing Clan was.
Zhang Tao soon left. After he left, Ye Xiao used his Divine Sense to look at the black thread on the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit. He wanted to know what exactly this thread was and what is its use!
However, the moment his Divine Sense touched the black thread, his eyes blurred and the next instant, he found himself standing in a foreign land. He was in a huge city. He could see the streets, buildings, and styles of the ancient city were all different from the cities he usually saw. There was no one on the streets, and there was a desolate atmosphere.
Ye Xiao was confused. He didn’t know what kind of place this was and how did he appear here. He tried to go back but failed. So, he could only step forward and explore this unknown place.
Not long after, he caught up with a group of Ancient Devils. He saw that they were silent and continued to walk forward with soulless eyes.
Ye Xiao frowned and then started to follow them from afar. He did not disturb them at all. Ye Xiao wanted to see where these Ancient Devil’s destination was.
After half a day, the group of Ancient Devil’s speed became slower and slower. Ye Xiao discovered that an altar-like building had appeared a certain distance away.
There were five seats on it. This was not an ordinary seat. It was many times bigger than an ordinary chair. Three hundred feet tall bodies sat on top of each seat.
The five bodies had black hair that cascaded down like waterfalls, skin like jade, and eyes that were tightly shut. There was no life on them at all. The one in the middle had a large hole in his heart, and there was nothing inside!
“Hiss…”
Ye Xiao took in a cold breath and stared at the scene with their mouths wide open.
“What the hell are they?” Looking at them, Ye Xiao muttered, for he could feel the monstrous aura flowing out in massive waves from their bodies. The current him was like a weak chicken in front of these people.
“What a huge body, could it be that they are the people of Titan Race?” Ye Xiao muttered in a daze.
“There are others here!” Soon, Ye Xiao saw that, on both sides of the altar, there were hundreds of people who bowed. After a careful observation, Ye Xiao found out that these people were not actually bowing to these five giants. They were actually forced to bow because of the monstrous aura of these five giants pressing down on them. However, these hundreds of people did not seem angry at all!
Ye Xiao then shifted his gaze to look at those Ancient Devils and saw them stopping in front of the altar. After that, they slowly knelt on the ground, raised their heads, and opened their mouths. Some kind of power burst out from their mouths and gathered together. Like a long dragon, it poured into the black hole on the chest of the giant in the middle!
This scene continued for an entire two hours!
The faces of these Ancient Giants withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their fog-like bodies became as thin as firewood as if they had been hollowed out by someone. After that, they slowly stood up and walked out of the ancient city.
The body of the giant, which had already died, seemed to have jumped up and down after absorbing so much strange power.
“He, he’s not dead! He’s absorbing that strange energy!”
Ye Xiao’s body couldn’t help but tremble. He thought of a very terrifying thing but he never thought that the role of these Ancient Devils was just nourishment and fertilizer for that terrifying existence in the middle?
Ye Xiao suddenly had a bad premotion in his heart. He muttered: “I should look for a way to leave quickly. My gut feeling is telling me that something is about to happen!”
However, as soon as Ye Xiao was about to turn back and look for a way to leave, he heard a very familiar sound in his mind. This sound belongs to the Domineering God Crystal. It told him to go to the giant and feel the hole in its chest using the energy from the black thread on the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit.
Ye Xiao was confused, He didn’t expect the Domineering God Crystal to tell him to do something like this. But he trusted the Domineering God Crystal. Because of this, he chose to do what this crystal told him.
Taking a deep breath, he walked forward while carefully looking around, afraid that someone or something would suddenly come out and attack.
However, when he arrived in front of the altar, nothing unexpected happened. Everything seemed calm and peaceful.
However, the hundreds of people who bowed on both sides of the altar, as well as the five corpses of giants that stood in the middle, made Ye Xiao feel terrified.
After looking at them for a while, he decided to first explore this ancient city. He spent three to four days exploring most of the parts of this ancient city but found nothing.
“Such a big city yet there’s nothing valuable inside at all?” Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to have tripped on something and fell flat on his face. When he got up, he looked down and saw a black stick that looked like a burning stick.
“What is this thing?”
Ye Xiao found it strange. This stick did not have any kind of aura on its body. It looked too ordinary, but he, a Ruler, actually trip over something like this?
Although Ye Xiao was suspicious, he still decided to keep this black stick. However, he failed to keep it in his spatial ring. This made him frown once again. Taking a deep breath, he chose to keep the stick in his small universe.
This stick was very heavy that did not match its size. Plus, it appeared in this strange place, so it must have some value. Furthermore, since Ye Xiao was unable to store the black stick inside his spatial ring, it proved that the stick was not ordinary at all.
After spending another two days, he walked in the direction of the altar. He didn’t find anything other than the black stick in his exploration of this foreign land.
…..
Arriving in front of the altar, Ye Xiao looked at the five incomparably huge corpses, especially the one in the middle. The scene of those Ancient Devils being sucked dry of their strange energy appeared in his mind once again.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao started condensing the energy from the black thread on the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit that he had obtained after devouring countless Ancient Devils.
However, the process was too slow. Maybe, Domineering God Stone knew this, it trembled for a moment, causing the Nascent Divine Soul to open its golden pupil. Then it used its index finger and thumb to hold the black thread on the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit and forcefully pulled it off.
Then it flicked its finger and the entire black thread melted, turned into a vast amount of black energy, and gathered on Ye Xiao’s hand.
It was at this moment that the Domineering God Crystal trembled once again, and a very small grey ball of light floated out from Ye Xiao’s body and melted in the vast amount of black energy gathered on his hand, compressing them constantly. Very soon, a small ball of black light remained on Ye Xiao’s hand.
“Source of Void Realm!”
Ye Xiao recognized the grey ball of energy that flew out of the Domineering God Crystal. It was the Source of Void Realm. Although it might be only one-tenth of the Source of Void Realm devoured by Domineering God Crystal, it still caused many questions to appear in Ye Xiao’s mind.
But he still didn’t ask Domineering God Crystal anything, for he believed it.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao walked toward the hundreds of people who were bowing. He observed their expressions and found that these people were very lifelike. It was as if they were still alive. In fact, they didn’t have any signs of life on their bodies. They were already dead, with only their bodies left.
No wonder they didn’t have angry expressions or any other expression on their faces.
Although they had been dead for a long time, the faintly discernible pressure on their bodies still made Ye Xiao realize that these people are on the same level as that intoxicating beautiful lady whom he saw in the legacy ground of the Three-eyed Clan and was charmed to the point of kissing her!
