Ye Xiao prepared to leave, but after pondering for a while, he decided to go deeper into the cave. It is because he could feel a strange energy fluctuation from the depth of the cave.
The path he took was a long tunnel that went deeper into the cave. The tunnel was very long, and it had been more than twenty minutes before Ye Xiao arrived at the end.
At the end of the passage was a stone platform. Behind the stone platform was an open karst cave. ．𝒄𝙤𝙢
Ye Xiao looked at the top of the karst cave and saw countless black shadows covering the entire roof of the cave.
These black shadows were actually bats, and these bats were also Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation beasts.
Ye Xiao looked around and then jumped down from the stone platform. Not far away, he saw another two entrances to the tunnel.
As soon as he jumped down, the concentrated flapping of wings sounded out. The black dots on the dome fell down like rain toward Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao immediately took out his Infinity Edge Blade and slashed out. The sharp blade light was like lightning, and wherever it went, dozens of bats were chopped into pieces.
However, the more he killed, the more bats came pouncing over.
Ye Xiao threw out a few slashes consecutively and burst out with his powerful aura, smashing apart dozens of bats instantly. However, there were simply too many of these bats.
A few bats landed on Ye Xiao’s body, and Ye Xiao felt as if they were pierced by a sharp tube. After that, the blood began to flow, and the bats that landed on him started to suck his blood.
Furthermore, there was a faint numbing feeling at the place where the pain came from, which made Ye Xiao immediately realize that the teeth of these bats had a faint toxin on them.
This poison was not very strong. However, as the poison continued to accumulate, it would bring about fatal consequences.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao had Poison Immunity as a special skill. No poison in Chaos could harm him.
Ye Xiao thought of something and kept the Infinity Edge Blade and simply allowed the bats to attack him. Although the bat’s poison did not affect him, its biting did injure him a lot. He was now bleeding from many places.
Ye Xiao knew that killing these tens of thousands of bats by slashing Infinity Edge Blade will consume a lot of time. He wanted to take down these bats in a direct and simple manner. Thus Ye Xiao first activated the Heavenly Demon Eyes, causing tens of thousands of bats to be clearly visible in his sight. Then he spread his powerful soul force to lock on every single one of these bats before speaking “Soul Destruction”.
And that’s the end.
All the bats immediately lost their lives and fell down, dying instantly. There was no bloodshed, no struggle, and no need to fight hard or slash blades thousands of times. Everything ended in an instant.
Sometimes, killing tens of thousands of opponents was that simple.
And sometimes, facing even a single opponent becomes so difficult that it seems impossible.
…..
Somewhere far away in the same space as Ye Xiao, a middle-aged man completely covered in a dark cloak suddenly stiffened. Then a pair of eyes flashing with red light was revealed.
The middle-aged man raised his head and muttered: “My bats… Tens of thousands of them are killed. Who is it? Who is it that dares to kill my tens of thousands of eyes that lurk in darkness to gather information for me? Who is it that dared invade my territory even under the protection of hundreds of human puppets?”
“What are those puppets doing? I clearly ordered them to kill anyone who dares to come to this place. How dare they not follow my orders?”
“No, something is not right. Even though they are powered by the Divine Inscriptions, in the end, they are mere puppets. How could they not follow my orders? Something is very wrong. I need to check!”
The middle-aged man once again closed his eyes and opened them after a while. Then he stood up and roared in anger: “Those stupid puppets. They were actually unable to kill a mere Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior even though they numbered in hundreds. How could they let that brat escape? That brat even destroyed two of my Chaos Dust Realm puppets. And now, he even killed tens of thousands of my slave bats. He must be mocking me for failing to kill him.”
“Who is he? Someone must be behind him. Is he sent by my enemies? Who sent him? What is his purpose for coming here?”
After roaring for a while and questioning many times, he finally took a deep breath and hatred flashed in his eyes. He suddenly stood up and disappeared. And after he disappeared, his voice reverberated in this space, saying: “No matter who you are or what your purpose of coming here is, you have to die. No one can save you. Death is now your destiny.”
…..
“Life Recovery!”
Ye Xiao first healed his injuries and then looked at the two tunnels. Then he once again looked at the platform. He could not understand the purpose of this platform’s existence.
Anyway, for the time being, he ignored the platform and chose to enter one of these two tunnels.
As he entered the tunnel, he was shocked to discover that the tunnel was filled with those bats. There were countless bloodthirsty bats hanging on the ceiling of the path.
Being alarmed by Ye Xiao, these bats started to move and spread their wings as they pounced.
“Soul Destruction!”
Ye Xiao was not troubled by them at all. He simply spat out two words, and all those bats that entered Ye Xiao’s range of a hundred meters were immediately killed.
Those bats were not fools. They were all intelligent beings. They immediately understood that the range of hundreds of meters was borderline. Thus, those bats circled outside Ye Xiao’s range of hundred meters and didn’t dare to get close to Ye Xiao.
As Ye Xiao walked deeper, he encountered more and more of these bats. He kept killing many of them and kept the range of hundred meters a constant. He did not increase this range, for there was no need for this at all.
These bats could be considered as the guardians of this underground karst cave. From this, it could be seen that the secrets hidden in this cave were extraordinary.
Soon, Ye Xiao stopped again. This was because, beside him, there was a new entrance.
Above his head, there were still numerous bloodthirsty bats. They could feel a threat from Ye Xiao, so they did not attack Ye Xiao. Moreover, at first, the bats were all only Chaotic Transformation Realm beasts, but now, these bats were all Chaos Dust Realm beasts.
Fortunately, they were not puppets but living beings with a soul. And as long as their souls are not stronger than Ye Xiao’s own soul, Ye Xiao could kill them easily.
In fact, Ye Xiao even had a feeling that he could kill Chaos Spirit Realm warriors with <Soul Destruction> ability. It is because the Lotus of Chaos has already transformed his soul when it gathered the fragments of his soul to be reborn. And this transformation also included the Origin of Chaos.
Who knows where the Lotus of Chaos obtained the Origin of Chaos, but it actually used the Origin of Chaos to transform his soul. That’s why, Yu Han could feel traces of Origin of Chaos from Ye Xiao’s soul, and thought Ye Xiao to be the destined one.
Maybe, the true destined one is someone else and he is somewhere else.
Anyway, Ye Xiao’s soul was very strong. When it comes to soul, Ye Xiao could even rival Chaos Dust Realm warriors.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and continued moving forward.
After walking forward for a short distance, he arrived at a fork in the path from the left and right.
Soon, there were more and more forks in the road. This underground cave was like a maze, all the way to unknown destinations.
Walking through the maze of tunnels, Ye Xiao left marks so that if he ever see these marks again, he would know that he had already walked down these paths.
Ye Xiao started exploring the cave. After a few laps back to the original path, he just chose the left fork in the road. As a result, there were no more laps back to the original path.
However, the size of this underground cave was beyond Ye Xiao’s imagination. Even if he was fast enough, he was unable to find the end of the cave in a short period of time.
From time to time, the group of bats would also attack Ye Xiao, only to be taken care of by him instantly.
