Three years later…
“Boom!”
A loud explosion rang out inside the underground cave Ye Xiao was cultivating. A surge of strong energy swept over in every direction, colliding against the walls of the cave, and producing loud noises.
A cyclone-type energy wave could be seen piercing the ceiling and breaking free, rising high in the sky.
Ye Xiao was sitting in the middle of the cyclone, cultivating diligently. Every wave of energy here was produced by Ye Xiao.
Slowly, the surging energy started calming down, and within fifteen minutes, the last bit of energy disappeared.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and exhaled a deep breath. The air around his body was constantly fluctuating, creating pressure in the air.
Ye Xiao could feel the presence of chaos energy inside his body, and at the same time, he had a feeling of possessing a mighty strength, enough to shatter the earth and sky with one punch. Of course, this feeling was just an illusion brought by the rise in the cultivation realm and a qualitative increase in his strength.
“So, this is Chaos Dust Realm!”
Ye Xiao carefully felt his strength that has increased by another realm. He knew it might take a few years to step into the Chaos Dust Realm without the help of any treasure, however, he never thought it will take him full three years to cultivate to this step.
Fortunately, during this period, no puppet was able to discover him. He safely cultivated and broke through, and even solved the problem of foreign Chaos Energy.
Now, he could transform into a Heavenly Demon once again. At that time, his cultivation will increase by another two minor stages, reaching the Late Stage of Chaos Dust Realm.
Ye Xiao was sure that dealing with all those puppets and killing that middle-aged man will no longer be a problem.
Most importantly, after Ye Xiao broke through to Chaos Dust Realm, he could now feel the existence of the Universe inside his body. But he could only feel it, he could still not access the universe. But the Lotus of Chaos lifted the binding of Universe Essence Flame.
Now, as long as Ye Xiao wants, he could use the Universe Essence Flame anytime he wants. And with this, another trump card was added to his arsenal.
“I don’t know when the seal on my universe will completely break. I have a feeling, as long as the seal on my universe is lifted, my strength will increase exponentially.”
“For now, I should focus on the current situation.”
Also, before, when Ye Xiao cultivated Nine Realms of Foundation Building, he absorbed energy in every pore of his body. There was no dantian or something like that to store energy. As for the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation, there was no absorption of energy. During the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation, outside Chaos Energy will invade a cultivator’s body and transform their bodies to be more adaptable to Chaos Energy. So that when one steps into Chaos Dust Realm, they could absorb and use Chaos Energy without much trouble.
Now that Ye Xiao broke through and became a Chaos Dust Realm warrior, he need to store Chaos Energy somewhere inside his body. However, Chaos Beings does not have a dantian.
So where will the Chaos Energy be stored?
The answer is simple.
It is the Divine Sea.
When Ye Xiao broke through and become a Chaos Dust Realm warrior, his Divine Sea went through a transformation and become the Divine Sea of Chaos. However, this sea was currently completely dried-up. But there were countless dust particles floating in the air above the sea surface.
These dust particles were grey in color and were actually exuding a terrifying aura. Every single dust particle contains terrifying energy. These were dust particles of Chaos Energy.
No wonder this stage was called Chaos Dust Realm.
Ye Xiao looked at the sky from the hole and muttered in a deep voice, “It is time for my revenge!”
…..
“Three years. It only took him three years. Senior brother Feng, you were right. He might really become a threat to Jia Fei. Although it is a pity, we could not afford to let him become a stone in Jia Fei’s path. Let’s get rid of him!”
When Yu Han saw Ye Xiao waking up, he stated his final decision.
Three years ago, Yu Feng decided to get rid of Ye Xiao. And after his explanation as well as the appearance of Jia Fei, Yu Han and Yu Rong agreed, but did not take action immediately. Instead, they chose to wait. They wanted to see how long Ye Xiao will take to break through and become a Chaos Dust Realm warrior.
Their initial expectation was five years.
Unlike Ye Xiao, they were far more experienced and had seen countless geniuses appearing in Chaos.
Ye Xiao’s thoughts were like… Anyone could break through from the Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation to Chaos Dust Realm in at most five years, however, he was completely unaware that five years of time was the minimum requirement if one does not have a treasure to help them improve.
But in Ye Xiao’s case, this minimum requirement decreased by two years, shocking the three people standing at the apex.
Yu Han and Yu Rong understood that they have to get rid of Ye Xiao, otherwise, Ye Xiao will be the biggest opponent Jia Fei will face.
Yu Rong said at this moment, “Let’s not kill him. At the very least, I tried to teach and train him. It could be considered a fate between him and me. Let’s just cripple his cultivation by destroying his Chaos Divine Sea. How about it?”
Maybe, she has already become someone so strong that she completely forgot a true fact. Destroying a person’s cultivation is more horrible and torturous than killing him or her. But in her mind, she was at least sparing Ye Xiao’s life, she is doing Ye Xiao a great favor by doing this.
Yu Han and Yu Feng looked at each other and nodded their heads. They did not say anything and simply agreed with Yu Rong.
“Let us take action against him after he completes the mission you gave him.” Yu Han thought of something and spoke. 𝘰𝑣.𝗇𝓔t
“Ok!” Yu Rong nodded.
…..
“BOOM!” “Bang!” “BOOM!”
Inside a forest, continuous sounds of explosions could be heard. If anyone was here, they would have been shocked to witness a scene of complete destruction.
Yes, complete destruction!
Ye Xiao was destroying many puppets one after another without even transforming into a Heavenly Demon. His eyes were glowing with green light and he was attacking every puppet at a position where Divine Inscriptions are engraved, killing them immediately.
These puppets were really relentless. They were actually still looking for his traces all around the forest. It has already been three years but they did not give up.
They were following their master’s orders all this while.
It has already been three days since Ye Xiao came out of seclusion. For the entire three days, Ye Xiao did nothing but destroy all the Human Puppets and Bird Puppets. He did not spare anyone.
There were hundreds of these puppets, and the batch Ye Xiao was killing was the last group.
After a while, when Ye Xiao was finally done destroying all these puppets without much effort, he took a deep breath and prepared to go looking for the middle-aged man who wanted to capture Ye Xiao and refine him into a human puppet.
This middle-aged man was the main culprit behind Ye Xiao’s suffering. He would not rest until he kills this man.
Just as Ye Xiao was planning to look for the middle-aged man, a loud roar could be heard from afar. Then a sentence was heard.
“Damn, bastard. You dare to destroy my hard work of thousands of years. I will personally kill you.”
And then, Ye Xiao felt a shockingly powerful aura rushing toward him at an extremely fast speed, producing a long energy wave mixed with chaotic air that flowed backward, destroying all the things in its path.
Ye Xiao knew that the middle-aged man was already informed that all his puppets were destroyed. And now, he was coming here to kill Ye Xiao.
“Soul Destruction!”
Not long after, when Ye Xiao could see a tiny black dot rushing toward him at lightning speed, he muttered two words.
“Ugh!”
A painful groan was heard and the middle-aged man’s balance was disturbed. Because of the immense pain in his soul that felt like being bitten by thousands of poisonous ants at once, the middle-aged man held his head tightly while groaning in pain.
Since his balance was disturbed, instead of landing, he shot and fell straight to the ground, producing a loud “Bang” sound as a deep crater was created.
However, the middle-aged man was a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior after all. Ye Xiao knew this will not kill the middle-aged man.
Because Ye Xiao has broken through to Chaos Dust Realm, his soul force also increased and his soul become stronger. This is the reason why the effect of his Soul Destruction ability was so high on the middle-aged man this time.
But, in the end, it was still not enough to kill the middle-aged man.
