Ye Xiao’s only thought currently was to keep going forward, to keep going forward!
But he could still feel the sound of footsteps, and the puppets seemed to be getting more and more. It means, their number was increasing as Ye Xiao kept running.
The wind whistled and rubbed against Ye Xiao’s body. He felt like falling down. He had a feeling that as long as he let go of the last of his will, his consciousness will merge into darkness.
However, the next moment, Ye Xiao came back to his senses and bit the tip of his tongue with all of his strength. A faint pain began to surface.
“I must live! I must survive!”
Once this thought appeared in his mind, it got uncontrollable. The strong desire to live caused Ye Xiao’s soul to break out of the darkness. A ray of light rose from the bottom of his heart, and his consciousness suddenly became clear.
However, when his consciousness became clear, he found himself falling!
He looked down, only to find darkness deep down. He could not see the depth, but he could tell that this place seemed to be a deep ravine. And he was falling from a cliff.
Only now did he understand that all this time, he was running on top of a cliff. And in order to run for his life, he unknowingly arrived at the edge of the cliff and fell down.
If his willpower was not strong enough, he would not have been able to force his consciousness to become clear. At that time, who knows what would have happened.
“I want to live!” Ye Xiao immediately started circulating the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture and burst out with a powerful aura.
The speed at which Ye Xiao was falling was constantly increasing. However, Ye Xiao didn’t give up. He tried his best to control his body to curl into a ball.
“Splash!”
After falling for a long time, the sound of him hitting the water body rang out. The next moment, Ye Xiao found himself in a river. He groaned in pain, for the blow he received by falling into water from a very long height was really terrifying. He felt as if the bones in his body shattered into pieces.
“Not yet!”
Ye Xiao knew he was not done yet. He could not give up just now, otherwise, he will be drowned. He started swimming. His body was tired, and his soul was tired, but he kept swimming. He swam by relying on his sheer willpower.
It was unknown when he got to the bank of the river, but the moment he touched the land and his mind received a transmission from his body that he was safe, a wave of incredible tiredness hit him and his consciousness started to become dizzy again.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, bit the tip of his tongue, and spoke “Life Recovery”. And with that, a comfortable feeling rose, but this exact feeling also caused Ye Xiao to lose his consciousness as his body fell into a deep slumber.
…..
Somewhere on an icy plane, inside the golden tower…
“Do you think he could really survive?” Yu Han looked at the screen in front of him and asked.
Not far away from him, Yu Rong and Yu Feng were sitting comfortably, looking at the water screen where Ye Xiao could be seen falling from the cliff and crossing the river with much difficulty before fainting.
Yu Feng shook his head and spoke: “Junior sister, you are making things very difficult for Ye Xiao. He is nothing but just a Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior. But the opponents you have given him are Chaos Dust Realm and there is even that person, the creator of all those puppets, a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. How could you put him go through this while he is just a ten-year-old child.”
“Ten years old child? Yes, he is!” Yu Rong nodded and her scarlet eye flashed with fire. Then she continued to speak: “However, he is also most likely the destined one. You should know the difficulty of obtaining the second key is something the difficulty of obtaining the first key could not be compared. He has to go through many thicks and thins in life before he could really go through the second trial.”
“If he can’t even survive the danger there, how could he pass the second trial and obtain the second key?”
Yu Han nodded and shook his head at the same time. He said, “I agree with you, but it doesn’t mean you would put him in grave danger.”
“But look, he escaped. Right?” Yu Rong pointed at the water screen and said: “I am doing nothing but training him. This is my way of making him physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. He has to survive. If he dies here, it means he can not be the destined one. How could the destined one, who has traces of Chaos Origin and is destined to have something to do with the Lotus of Chaos, die so easily?”
“No matter the danger he is facing, he has to survive. This is my way of training him. And as long as he survives, I will give him something that will increase his strength.”
Yu Feng sighed and said: “Increasing the strength is never a matter. We can let him increase his strength to an extremely high level with so many treasures in our possessions. What we need to do is to make sure he passes all the trials and obtains the three keys. Otherwise, who knows for how long we’ll have to wait again for another person with traces of Origin of Chaos in his soul to appear.”
“I agree with Junior Sister. Ye Xiao needs to go through all sorts of dangers in order to be prepared for what is to come. Since we have already given Junior Sister the responsibility of training him, let’s believe in her.” ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
Yu Han also sighed upon hearing this and nodded. Then he suddenly thought of something and asked: “Well, Junior Sister, for how long he has to survive there?”
Yu Rong let out a devilish smile upon hearing that. Her smile caused both Yu Han and Yu Feng to be on high alert, for they don’t have any idea what will their junior sister do. Yu Rong’s smile always means great trouble and danger, and might even disaster.
As expected, her reply soon came which made the two sigh in Ye Xiao’s tragic luck. She said: “As long as he does not kill the Divine Inscription Master who created all those puppets!”
“After all, his mission is to survive. He could only survive if he kills the enemy. And his enemy there is never those puppets, but the one who created and was controlling them. As long as he kills that enemy, it means he survived. And his mission will be over. At the same time, one phase of his training will also end.”
Yu Feng and Yu Han immediately stood up. They did not expect Yu Rong’s so-called training to be so hellish.
Yu Feng spoke: “But junior sister, that person is a Late Stage of Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. How could Ye Xiao be his opponent?”
“Then he has to find a way to be the enemy’s opponent.” Yu Rong smiled and continued: “No matter how long he takes, he has to kill that person. Only by killing him could he even think of returning. There is no other way.”
…..
Two days later, Ye Xiao’s eyelids twitched. He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. All his injuries were now healed. However, the violent energy inside his body was still on a rampage.
Turning his head to look at his surroundings, he only saw silence in the surroundings. Occasionally, the roars of beasts could be heard from the valley.
Even when he was unconscious, Ye Xiao’s subconscious was reminding himself to wake up. In this kind of place, losing consciousness was too dangerous.
Fortunately, nothing happened in these two days he was unconscious.
Looking at his body, his injuries were all healed, however, his body was still in pain.
It was fortunate enough that only a few traces of Chaos Energy was attacking Ye Xiao’s body from the inside, otherwise, Ye Xiao would not know what to do. He knew he has to look for a way to get rid of the foreign Chaos Energy, otherwise, he might die because of the foreign Chaos Energy dancing violently inside his body.
After some time, Ye Xiao grabbed the Infinity Edge Blade beside him and pressed it against the ground. Then he stood up shakily and moved his body. He walked towards the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff with light steps.
The morning mist was dense, and it followed the trail in the forest. After passing through the small forest, Ye Xiao heard the sound of flowing water.
“There is a river here!”
