Everyone was competing with each other for obtaining even one of the eight balls of light. Because of their greed, they didn't even notice Ye Xiao's terrifying attack.
Well, even Ye Xiao was surprised after seeing his own strength. With his current cultivation base, he was finally able to execute the true strength of the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends.
"Pfft."
Ye Xiao pushed back a martial artist of the Bai Family with his fist. He swept his gaze across the rest of the people of the Bai Family and a cold smile flashed across his face. His figure flashed and appeared behind a man from the Bai Family a moment later.
Ye Xiao pressed his palm against that man and dense spirit energy rushed into that person's body, causing his breath to stop immediately.
Ye Xiao unleashed his Spirit Devour Escape and once again appeared behind another martial artist of the Bai Family. The long spear in his hand stabbed out and under the terrified gaze of that man, it directly pierced through his chest.
Ye Xiao's figure continuously flashed in the chaotic plaza and every time he appeared, a martial artist from the Bai Family would be killed. In a short quarter of an hour, five martial artists of the Bai Family had already died by his hands.
"I have collected enough interest, I'll play with you in the future." Ye Xiao looked at other people of the Bai Family and thought in his heart. He glanced at Bai Dong before his body flashed and entered the golden hall, which was partially closed.
Ye Xiao was the first one who entered this hall, after all, everyone was busy competing with each other for the balls of light.
The moment Ye Xiao stepped into the hall, he immediately felt the sky and earth started to spin. After a while, when everything calmed down, he was surprised by what he saw in front of him. The space in front of him was empty and lonely. There was not a single thing, only endless darkness, and an empty world.
"What is going on?"
Ye Xiao was surprised. He turned around and wanted to go back. However, the door that led in had disappeared long ago. There was nothing in front of him.
While he was still in shock, a beam of light shot out from a distant location in the void, tearing through space and appearing in front of him. It was like a star. It was an incomparably large star. It was like a bright sun, radiating with radiance.
The first one, followed by the second one, and then the third. In the blink of an eye, the empty space was filled with stars, turning into a starry sky with thick Power of Stars rippling through it. A river of stars quietly flowed beneath his feet.
"Star Illusion Formation!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart before swinging his hand in the air and a vast fluctuation of energy rippled the air, breaking the formation in an instant.
After the illusion was broken, what appeared in front of Ye Xiao was the same golden hall that he entered and he was actually still in front of the entrance of the Golden Hall.
The golden hall did not have any extravagant decorations. Instead, it appeared exceptionally simple. Ye Xiao's gaze circled around the golden hall once and then concentrated at the center of the golden hall.
The golden hall did not have any extravagant decorations. Instead, it appeared exceptionally simple. Ye Xiao's gaze circled around the golden hall once and then concentrated at the center of the golden hall.
"Those should be the remains of this ruin's owner." Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and muttered in his heart. He could clearly see that it was a gray skeleton that was sitting down. There seemed to be a unique fluctuation that seeped out from the skeleton.
"This person should have failed when he tried to break through next cultivation realm." A beautiful figure flashed and appeared beside Ye Xiao. The voice that sounded like a clear spring made his heart and soul tremble slightly.
Ye Xiao's expression changed. Someone actually appeared beside him soundlessly without letting him even know.
He quickly took a step back and looked at the beautiful figure beside him with a grave expression. This beautiful figure was none other than the mysterious woman who had appeared outside the ruin and only after her appearance did all the martial artists started attacking the restriction placed on the entrance of the ruin.
Looking at the mysterious Miss Yi up close, Ye Xiao finally realized her stunning beauty. The light-coloured skirt matched well with her almost perfect figure.
"No need to be so nervous. If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you the moment I appeared here, and believe me when I say that you would not have any chance of dodging my attack." Miss Yi said indifferently as she glanced at him with her phoenix eyes.
Although the woman's words were hurtful, Ye Xiao knew that she was not bragging. She could appear beside him without letting him notice her presence. It was another matter that even if she would have used her full strength, she would not be able to kill Ye Xiao.
Well, this Miss Yi was actually at the Early Stage of the Martial King Realm and this was the only thing that surprised Ye Xiao. After all, no martial artist at the Martial King Realm and above was not allowed to enter.
What was more, when she first appeared, she was only at the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm but now, when she again appeared in front of him, she was already at the Immortal King Realm.
It was clear that she broke through to the Immortal King Realm after entering the ruin. She must have encountered some fortuitous encounter.
"This is not a place you can come to. Go back." Miss Yi did not wait for Ye Xiao to speak and stared at him with a pair of extremely clear and emotionless eyes.
Hehe, lady, you are wrong. Anyone can come here. You don't have the right to judge who can come and can not." Ye Xiao smiled faintly and replied in the same emotionless tone in which this Miss Yi talked with him. The only difference between the two was that there was a faint smile on Ye Xiao's face and Miss Yi's face was completely emotionless.
Miss Yi slightly frowned. This was the first time she heard someone resist her words. And it was even a martial artist who was only at the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
"Even though you are not bad, with your strength, it would be wishful thinking if you wanted to obtain the inheritance of the ruin's owner." Miss Yi spoke again with the same emotionless but cold tone.
Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulder with an indifferent expression. Anyways, he was not interested in any inheritance. What he entered this ruin for was to get some resources to increase his cultivation base.
Miss Yi also no longer bothered with Ye Xiao. She stared straight at the grey skeleton in the center of the golden hall. After a long time, she frowned and said in a cold voice, "I did not expect to see monsters like you in this remote place."
As her voice faded, she waved her hand, causing a resplendent ray of light to descend.
Ye Xiao frowned. Was this woman crazy? She actually attacked a skeleton. However, the scene that followed caused his expression to change. The originally silent and obscure skeleton was now filled with a dark colour. In the blink of an eye, the skeleton was covered with black colour. At the same time, a scarlet light flashed in its empty eyes.
In the midst of Ye Xiao's shocked expression, the black skeleton raised its hand and grabbed the ray of light. It exerted its strength and a black light appeared. The resplendent ray of light was immediately crushed to pieces.
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that I would actually meet a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect here." The dried bone emitted a burst of ear-piercing laughter as it stared at Miss Yi that had already stepped on the light sword in the sky, and its eyes emitted a demonic intent that caused one's heart to palpitate.
"Demon?"
Ye Xiao's heart trembled. He never thought that he would meet a demon here. It turned out that this ruin's owner was actually a demon.
This demon was filled with evil thoughts and even from far away, it still felt extremely uncomfortable. It was as if his skeleton itself did not belong to this world.
"Immortal Sword Sect?" Ye Xiao stared at the girl surnamed Yi. He just heard this name from the skeleton's mouth. It should be the sect that the girl was from. The sect that was known to even a demon who has died who knows how many thousands of years ago, just how powerful that sect actually was.
"Well, it should be First Level Sect!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
Qin Feng was really shocked because of Miss Yi. He never thought that this Miss Yi would actually be able to recognize that this skeleton was actually a live demon.
"Swish!"
Miss Yi did not say a word. An ice crystal sword appeared in her hand and she slashed it down toward the skeleton. Immediately, a sword Qi that was over a hundred feet in size hacked down, causing even the air to freeze along the way.
"Gulp!"
Ye Xiao looked at this scene in shock. This was too terrifying, even the air was frozen.
"Little girl, although you are someone from the Immortal Sword Sect, with your little strength, you are still unable to do anything to me." The skeleton grinned and let out a sinister voice. He raised his pitch-black bone palm and a strand of black demonic energy instantly condensed into a black spear, thrusting towards the Sword Qi.
BOOM!
As the two collided, a terrifying hurricane spread out. The entire large hall trembled slightly when the two collided.
"Looks like I have underestimated you." The red light in the skeleton's eyes flickered, and its face became serious.
"Humph! You are sealed here and your strength is almost used up. Although this is true that I can not kill you with my current strength, but sealing you is still possible." Miss Yi's cold eyes flashed without a trace of worry.
"Kid, your body isn't bad. Lend it to me to use it for a little while." The skeleton's eyes narrowed and it stared at Ye Xiao. A stream of black energy escaped from the skeleton's body and rushed towards him.
"Hurry up and dodge."
When Miss Yi saw the black shadow shooting at Ye Xiao, she shouted out coldly. Anxiety flashed across her unperturbed eyes. She then blasted out an icy cold aura at the black shadow that was shooting at Ye Xiao.
The black shadow giggled and dodged Miss Yi's attack. Its body then flashed and in an instant, it had already arrived in front of Ye Xiao in an instant. It turned into a black light and entered Ye Xiao's body.
At that moment, a dark colour quickly covered Ye Xiao's entire body. Within his originally clear eyes, a scarlet and evil light flickered.
"Good, what a great body. I can also display a bit of my true power." Ye Xiao heard an ear-piercing sound in his mind. Listening carefully, it was the voice of the black shadow.
This is..." That shadow was shocked when he entered Ye Xiao's Divine Sea which was now a Universe. It could not believe what it saw in front of its front.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you hide in his body?"
Suddenly, Miss Yi appeared in front of Ye Xiao and said. There was no emotion in Miss Yi's eyes. Her gaze was as cold as a machine. She raised the ice crystal longsword in her hand and gave off an icy aura. This aura was several times stronger than before.
"Snow Frost, Cold Moon Slash."
As Miss Yi spoke, the temperature of the entire hall dropped significantly. Layers of frost covered the entire hall, causing snowflakes to drift about.
"What kind of martial art is this, to actually be so terrifying?" Seeing the sudden change in his surroundings, Ye Xiao's expression changed. This martial arts skill was too terrifying to the point that even the weather changed.
"Brat, see this? This little girl wants to kill you. Hurry up and give such a perfect and marvellous as well as a bit strange body to me to control. I'll help you avoid this attack." The black shadow was also somewhat anxious as he tried to bewitch Ye Xiao.
It was clear that it was unable to recognize that it was a Universe in Ye Xiao's mind. For some reason, it failed to enter the Universe so it anxiously asked Ye Xiao to give his body to him.
"Humph! Do you really think you can control my body? Let me tell you, if I want, I can kill you in an instant because right now, you are in my domain. Inside my mind, I am the sole ruler. But right now, I should dodge her attack first. Her attack is really too powerful." Ye Xiao and hurriedly executed the Spirit Devour Escape to the limit and immediately disappeared from the place he was standing, and appeared at a different place.
"What a strange young man. But since you have been eroded by that monster then I won't let you go." A hint of determination flashed across Miss Yi's eyes. Then, with a trembling Ice Crystal Sword in her hand, she slowly stabbed it towards Ye Xiao.
She could clearly feel that Ye Xiao didn't use his own spirit energy but actually used the spirit energy of the world to dodge her attack. This kind of technique was quite strange but very useful.
Ye Xiao again dodged her attack. He didn't launch an attack on her because he knew she was not trying to kill him but the demon in his body. Since the demon was inside his body, she was forced to attack him.
Anyway, it was not like she knew him and would hesitate to attack. If killing a demon means killing an innocent young man, she will still do that. She will definitely not let a demon run away and cause trouble, killing people and devouring their life essence to increase its strength just because of a young man whom she never even met before.
"Ah, damn, what is in your body? How can it be this kind of thing? Let me out, hurry up and let me out!"
At this moment, the black figure in his body suddenly let out a terrified cry. It was as if it had encountered something terrifying. Then it tried to fly out of Ye Xiao's body.
It turned out that while Ye Xiao was dodging Miss Yi's attack, the demon was trying to invade the Universe in his mind but suddenly, it felt as if it was locked on by a very very terrifying existence and will die if it dared to stay in Ye Xiao's body for even a single more second.
However, the moment it tried to fly out, it was attacked by a ray of light that shot out from the Universe in his mind and then landed on the demon.
"Boom!"
A terrifying energy exploded from Ye Xiao's body. A wave of invisible energy rippled and instantly dispersed Miss Yi's sword qi that was about to attack him. This attack was actually Miss Yi's strongest attack.
The demon that was trying to possess Ye Xiao's body was now nowhere to be seen. It had long dissipated. The black colour on his body also immediately dissipated.
"You really want to kill me?"
After the sword qi was dispersed, Ye Xiao stared at Miss Yi as he spoke to the astonished Miss Yi with an ashen face.
"What was that energy just now?" Miss Yi's face was filled with shock. Her all-out attack had been broken so easily. It had to be known that the ice crystal sword in her hand was a High-Grade Immortal Rank Weapon. It was extremely powerful and if she attacked with all her might, even a martial artist at the Middle Stage of Immortal King Realm would be frozen into an ice stick in an instant.
And that burst of energy that came out from Ye Xiao's body was actually able to obliterate her attack. It was too shocking.
What was that energy? Of course, Ye Xiao knew what it was, it was the special energy that solely belonged to the Universe in his mind.
"Who the hell are you?" Seeing that Ye Xiao didn't want to reveal anything, Miss Yi did not pursue the matter any further. After all, everyone has some sort of secret which could not be casually revealed.
"I am only an ordinary martial artist." Ye Xiao answered her indifferently.
Miss Yi obviously did not believe that an ordinary martial artist would display such kind of shocking power.
However, she did not press the issue. Everyone had their own secrets, Ye Xiao didn't need to tell her.
Miss Yi no longer paid any attention to Ye Xiao as her beautiful eyes swept across the entire hall.
Ye Xiao also started to search in the hall. Other than some weapons and pills that were useless to him, there was nothing else.
"It can't be that there is nothing at all, right?" Ye Xiao could not help but say.
"Little bastard, you deserve to die."
Several sonic booms rang out as many figures flew out of the golden palace door. The one leading them was an elder with dishevelled hair. It was Bai Dong from Bai Family.
However, he could only be described as bedraggled. His clothes were torn and there were many wounds all over his body. His entire body was drenched in blood and his eyes were emitting a chilling killing intent as he stared at Ye Xiao. He wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
