Chapter 48 Ch 48: Need To Breakthrough
Ye Xiao soon came to the stream.
“Roar!”
Right at this moment, a beast’s roar sounded out. Beside the stream, a Chaos Beast that was drinking water suddenly raised its head and looked at Ye Xiao, a murderous light flickering in its eyes.
“Damn, it is a Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm beast!”
Ye Xiao secretly sighed at his bad luck and stood still, waiting for the Chaos Beast to finish drinking the water and leave.
Ye Xiao did not want to fight this beast, for he has no idea what danger he will have to face ahead. Moreover, he did not want to stir up the already violent foreign Chaos Energy.
“Roar!”
However, in the Chaos Beast’s eyes, Ye Xiao’s attitude was akin to showing his weakness.
Noticing Ye Xiao’s weakness, the Chaos Beast approached Ye Xiao in a probing manner.
Ye Xiao retreated and revealed an even weaker expression.
The Chaos Beast was clearly hungry. After confirming that Ye Xiao was weak, it pounced on him without any further hesitation in order to eat his food.
“Sigh!”
Ye Xiao could only sigh. He waved his Infinity Edge Blade.
When the Chaos Beast’s claw hit the Infinity Edge Blade, the blade skillfully bounced up and slashed the beast’s body, but only leaving a bloody wound. Even a sharp Soulbound Weapon, under Ye Xiao’s power, could not cause too much damage to a Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm Beast.
“Roar!”
The Chaos Beast immediately became furious and opened its mouth wide in order to grab a bite out of him.
Ye Xiao immediately abandoned the Infinity Edge Blade and tilted his head back, trying his best to hold the beast’s jaw with his left hand.
However, as soon as Ye Xiao tried to grab the beast’s jaw, he was knocked onto the ground by the Chaos Beast. The heavy impact caused his vision to almost darken, but Ye Xiao did not stop.
Ye Xiao could not transform into the Heavenly Demon, for it will cause heavy damage to Ye Xiao’s body because of the foreign chaos energy in his body. He has to fight in human form no matter what. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Although Ye Xiao suffered a heavy blow, he did not stop. He immediately teleported in front of the chaos beast, and his left hand firmly pressed against the Beast’s lower jaw, avoiding the sharp teeth of the beast.
However, the chaos beast’s claw still dealt a huge amount of damage to Ye Xiao, cutting into his ribs.
He retracted his right hand and grabbed onto the tough skin of the Chaos Beast.
At the same time, Ye Xiao could feel the loss of his as well as the Chaos Beast’s power.
“What bad luck, I fall off the cliff without dying, and now, it looks like I am going to die under the claws of this Chaos Beast?”
Ye Xiao sighed but then, his will to live suddenly became stronger.
“No! I can’t die here? Killing me will not be that easy!”
Ye Xiao suddenly took out both the Void Shattering Spear and the Infinity Edge Blade.
To hold these two weapons, he had to first let go of the beast. Then he teleported above the beast’s body, rolled in the air and caught the two weapons, and then stabbed down with the Void Shattering Spear.
“Puchi!”
The Void Shattering Spear pierced into the head of the beast, but the beast’s vitality was terrifying, it still did not die. Ye Xiao also did not stop. The next attack soon followed.
He used the Infinity Edge Blade to slash down, causing a terrifyingly sharp light to flash and cut right through the neck of the beast.
Finally, the Chaos Beast lost its life, its body finally stopped moving.
Ye Xiao pushed away the beast’s corpse with all his might and laid on the ground, not wanting to move even a finger.
“Damn! That energy is really killing me from the inside. What should I do?”
Ye Xiao could not help but curse in his heart. He tried to use his devouring ability to devour the energy, however, it turned out that he could not do that. He was still too weak to use his devouring ability as he wants. For now, he could only devour things outside his body, not from inside.
Amongst the blood that filled the ground, there was this Chaos Beast, and there were those that belonged to Ye Xiao.
He really wanted to lie down like this to sleep and have a good rest, but Ye Xiao knew it wouldn’t work, so he struggled to get up again. After getting up, he once again used the Life Recovery ability and walked towards the stream.
As it turned out, although his Life Recovery ability was able to heal all his injuries. Because of the foreign chaos energy invading his body, he was constantly suffering. At the same time, he was also becoming weaker and weaker.
When Ye Xiao arrived beside the stream, he bent over to drink the cold stream water and buried his head in the water. Under the stimulation of the cold water, Ye Xiao became alert. He then walked into the water and lay down, letting the cold water wash over his body and wash away the blood on his body.
Then, Ye Xiao took off his tattered clothes and let the water run away. He was now naked and had no cloth to wear. With difficulty, he followed the stream while holding the Infinity Edge Blade and Void Shattering Spear.
After walking two steps, he looked at the weapons in his hand and muttered why he was holding these weapons when there is no enemy. So he kept the weapons for the time being.
Fortunately, there was no dirt in the stream. Ye Xiao walked slowly for a whole two hours and arrived at the top of the stream when it was late in the morning.
Walking out of the ravine, Ye Xiao carefully avoided leaving any traces behind. After walking for another half an hour, he carefully pushed away a thick vine at the bottom of the cliff.
Behind the vines, there was a cave entrance that could only be climbed.
After confirming that he did not leave any obvious marks, Ye Xiao slipped into the gap between the vines. After restoring the vine to its original state, he climbed into the cave. He walked inside the cave for about three to four meters and the space inside became wider.
Ye Xiao’s body had already reached its limit. He could not hold on any longer. As time was passing, the foreign chaos energy was constantly weakening Ye Xiao. He laid down naked on the ground and once again fell into a deep slumber!
It was as if only by going into deep slumber could he be able to protect his body from the foreign chaos energy wreaking havoc inside his body.
When he woke up again, it was already a week later. Ye Xiao felt much better. His body had recovered a lot of strength, and the inside of his body also felt a bit less painful. He could also tell that the foreign chaos energy has finally calmed down a lot for some reason after he went into a deep slumber for an entire week.
Ye Xiao stood up and looked at the cave entrance that could only allow people to crawl, and saw that there was no light coming from it.
Obviously, it was night outside.
As for how long he slept, Ye Xiao had no way to determine that.
“The first thing I need to do is to get rid of the foreign Chaos Energy. I don’t know about other methods, however, Chaos Dust Realm warriors could easily control and manipulate the Chaos Energy. It is because their body and soul have already become familiar with Chaos Energy after breaking past the limit of Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation. As long as I could also break past this limit, I might be able to solve my misery!”
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao immediately sat down cross-legged and started circulating the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture, and started slowly recovering his strength.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Now, Ye Xiao had almost recovered to his prime. The foreign chaos energy was also peaceful for the time being. But Ye Xiao had a feeling that as long as he started fighting again, the foreign chaos energy will start wreaking havoc inside his body again.
Ye Xiao knew breaking through to the Chaos Dust Realm is not that easy. To become a Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior, it took Ye Xiao about two years of time.
So, Ye Xiao knew that it might take even longer if he wants to become a Chaos Dust Realm warrior without any outer support.
However, as long as he could obtain a treasure, he might be able to shorten the period by many months or years, or he might even break through the next day.
