King Of Chaos

Chapter 302 Ch 302: Terrified Evil-eyed Golden Lion

As Ye Xiao observed this unknown land, he witnessed a surreal twist of nature’s laws.

As he walked, he noticed the ground beneath his feet rippling like the surface of a calm lake, creating an eerie sight in the darkness below.

In contrast, the sky above appeared lush and teeming with life. The green landscape hung above him with mountain ranges drifting like colossal clouds. Trees stood as inverted giants, their roots stretching towards the inverted sky. Rivers flowed with apparent disregard for gravity, defying the Rule of Gravitation.

This ruin here… The ground had become the sky, and the sky had become the land.

This transformation was unlike anything Ye Xiao had encountered before, and it left him in awe.

Ye Xiao released his Divine Sense, trying to spy, however, he encountered invisible barriers that restricted his Divine Sense from perceiving anything beyond 1,000 meters.

However, during this short time, he also discovered several great formations and Divine Inscriptions.

“Come here!”

As Ye Xiao was observing everything carefully, a voice rang in the surroundings all of a sudden. At the same time, a light flashed on the dark ground and started squeezing and loosing. Very soon, everything calmed down as a gate of light materialized in front of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also recognized the voice that suddenly rang in the air; it belonged to the Evil-eyed Golden Lion.

Ye Xiao looked at the gate of light and found that the gate of light was pulsing with a soft, inviting glow. It was the direct opposite of the inverted world, radiating warmth and familiarity in the midst of the surreal.

Ye Xiao silently nodded and then stepped into the gate of light, once again being teleported to an unknown depth of this ruin.

The place where Ye Xiao appeared next was like a huge palace hall. The surroundings were blocked with high walls and ceilings. However, the ground was still that rippling dark land.

And here, a giant golden lion was lying on the ground comfortably with closed eyes.

The moment Ye Xiao appeared in the hall, his gaze immediately fell on the Evil-eyed Golden Lion. He then carefully observed the surroundings.

The Evil-eyed Golden Lion slowly opened its eyes and looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was unable to tell what the Evil-eyed Golden Lion was thinking, but he could feel an overwhelming aura spying on his soul.

However, Ye Xiao’s soul was very special, it was unlike anything the Evil-eyed Golden Lion had ever seen.

The moment the Evil-eyed Golden Lion looked at his soul, a terrifying Soul Force burst out, causing the Evil-eyed Golden Lion to roar loudly. 𝒹𝓸𝓿.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Even Ye Xiao was sent flying, however, at that moment, because of the overwhelming Soul Force that suddenly erupted from his soul, he had a very familiar sensation of the surroundings. It was more like the Nine Hell Transformation in essence, but many times solid and powerful.

“It is a Domain!”

Ye Xiao immediately realized that this place was very strange, more like an upside-down world. He looked at the Evil-eyed Golden Lion and spoke, “So, this is not an Ancient Ruin, but your domain from the very beginning.”

“No, wait!” Ye Xiao shook his head and suddenly raised his head, speaking in an overwhelming tone, “Not just this Ancient Ruin, but the entire Deep Sea Abyss of black water is your domain.”

“It also means that when I thought I was teleported to the real Deep Sea Abyss from that cave, I was never actually teleported. It was you who simply brought me inside your domain. In short, as long as your domain is broken or I leave this domain, I will reappear right in front of that giant Ice Crystal inside that cave!”

The Evil-eyed Golden Lion turned to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao noticed blood flowing out from the Evil Eye of the Evil-eyed Golden Lion.

“Your soul… Why is your soul so strong? Not even the first ancestor of the Spiritas Race who mastered the way of soul and entered the End of the Void does not have this strong Soul Force. When I looked at your soul, in that moment, I felt as if… As if…”

The Evil-eyed Golden Lion could not help but recall that scene. When he looked into Ye Xiao’s soul, he suddenly found himself in a very strange place. In that place, it was as small as an ant while Ye Xiao’s soul was like a mountain. Ye Xiao’s soul had its eyes closed. It was wearing a golden crown, sitting in a cross-legged position on top of a huge Lotus. A giant spear and a huge blade were spinning around Ye Xiao’s soul.

When Ye Xiao stepped inside the cave and arrived in front of the giant Ice Crystal, the Evil-eyed Golden Lion had already noticed him. It watched everything Ye Xiao did inside the cave. Naturally, it saw Ye Xiao’s Void Shattering Spear and the Infinity Edge Blade.

However, these giant Spear and Blade spinning around Ye Xiao’s soul were clearly not the Void Shattering Spear and Infinity Edge Blade. They were completely different and much more powerful. Just looking at these two weapons caused the Evil-eyed Golden Lion to shudder in fear. I had never felt such fear from birth till a few seconds ago.

Before the Evil-eyed Golden Lion could understand more about the weirdness of Ye Xiao’s soul, his soul opened his eyes. Those pair of eyes were also filled with a strange charm. They were glowing with warm green light, however, traces of white could also be seen in the depth of green glow.

The moment those eyes were opened, the Evil-eyed Golden Lion felt its soul being torn apart. In that instant, it reacted quickly. It was, however, already too late. Its soul suffered a heavy blow and was injured badly.

This blow caused its strength to fall rapidly and now, the Evil-eyed Golden Lion could not even use 60% of its full strength anymore.

It was terrifying.

“It was as if I was standing before a King like an ant who was not even qualified enough to raise its head!”

When the Evil-eyed Golden Lion tried to spy on his soul, all Ye Xiao felt was the burst of overwhelming Soul Force and nothing else. Everything happened very quickly, and even before he could react, everything was already over.

As of now, all Ye Xiao could see in the Evil-eyed Golden Lion’s eyes was fear, a very deep fear for him. It was as if the Evil-eyed Golden Lion was looking at a monster who could swallow it in one bite.

“What happened, senior?”

Although what the Evil-eyed Golden Lion tried to was very despicable, Ye Xiao was still respectful. It is because not only this Evil-eyed Golden Lion is an Ancient Divine Beast, but it also has the cultivation base of a Celestial Awakening Realm.

Yes, Celestial Awakening Realm, not the Chaos Sovereign Realm.

The Evil-eyed Golden Lion did not dare to look at Ye Xiao anymore. It silently nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Don’t… Don’t call me senior!”

“You are right, it is indeed my Domain. Upon stepping into the Celestial Awakening Realm, every warrior and beast could awaken their own domain.”

With that, it waved and opened its mouth and five dots of light flew out from within. As they flew out, they became bigger and bigger until they were a football-sized big.

“These are the five Rule Source Crystals of the five elements. The Water Source Crystal you saw earlier in the cave is also here now.”

“I have to go now. I have to enter the End of Void to protect this chaos from those otherworldly beings!”

The Evil-eyed Golden Lion spoke and did everything in a hurry. It was as if it did not even want to stay here a single second more.

No, it just did not want to stay in Ye Xiao’s presence any longer.

After completing its words and giving Ye Xiao the five Rule Source Crystals of the five elements, the Evil-eyed Golden Lion disappeared.

No, in fact, it just retracted its Domain, and Ye Xiao reappeared in front of the giant Ice Crystal floating in midair.

Ye Xiao was very confused. He could not understand what exactly went wrong.

He recalled the words of the Evil-eyed Golden Lion.

It said that not even the first ancestor of the Spiritas Race possessed a Soul Force as formidable as his. It also said that in the presence of Ye Xiao’s soul, it felt like an ant standing before a king who was not qualified to raise its head!

What exactly does that Evil-eyed Golden Lion mean?

Ye Xiao shook his head and no longer thought about those things. He looked at five balls of light floating in front of him.

Extending his hand, he touched the first light, and the light disappeared. What appeared in the place was a Rule Source Crystal.

It was the Fire Source Crystal.

Ye Xiao did the same with the other four balls of light and obtained Earth Source Crystal, Water Source Crystal, Wind Source Crystal, and Metal Source Crystal.
