<Devour> is a heaven-defying ability that enables Ye Xiao to devour almost everything that exists.
When Ye Xiao started his journey of cultivation in the Source Universe (Heavens), this was the first ability he obtained. With the help of this ability, Ye Xiao’s cultivation rose quickly and very soon, he become so strong that no one could touch his feet even if they try for their lifetime.
Ye Xiao could devour the cultivation bases of a Chaos Beast, a human, or any other creature using his Devouring Ability.
But he did not do such a thing after his rebirth in Chaos.
There was no specific reason, he just did not do so.
But now, Ye Xiao was thinking of something else.
He first observed and felt the strength surging in every pore of his body.
According to Qi Yaner, Ye Xiao should not try to swallow the Origin Fluid, for he was just an Early Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior and the Thousand Years Old Origin Fluid will be too much for his body to endure.
However, no rule is absolute.
Ye Xiao broke this rule of getting hurt by devouring the Origin Fluid and breaking through to the Late Stage of Chaos Dust Realm from the Early Stage of Chaos Dust Realm. His cultivation increased by two minor stages.
He just needed to spend a short period of time to again break through and become a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
If he had cultivated by normal means by circulating a cultivation technique to absorb and refine the Origin Fluid, it would have taken him more than just five days to break through two minor stages of his cultivation realm.
It might have taken him months. But the time taken was greatly reduced when he used the ability Devour.
And by now, he had already gotten used to the thunder force in the surroundings that was striking his body from time to time again. But the thunder force was no longer affecting him much. Now, all this thunder force was doing was tempering his physical body and making it even stronger.
Ye Xiao sighed and muttered, “Only if my Universe is unsealed, I could have asked the Lotus of Chaos if it is true or not that the Primordial Chaos Grand Mysteries is an ultimate product that appeared from the original Lotus of Chaos that gave birth to Chaos.”
Yes, the reason why Ye Xiao was still not cultivating the Primordial Chaos Grand Mysteries because he did not believe Yu Tian at all. In fact, from the moment his Chaos Divine Sea was shattered by Yu Rong, Ye Xiao decided to not believe anyone who is related to the First King.
That’s why, although Ye Xiao was grateful to Yu Tian for helping him recover and rebuild his Chaos Divine Sea, he still did not trust him. As long as the Lotus of Chaos does not confirm whether the Primordial Chaos Grand Mysteries is safe to cultivate or not, he will not cultivate this technique at all.
Anyway, he has his Devouring ability with him. He could simply use this ability to increase his strength. There was no need for him to cultivate any technique at all.
And he believed that the Lotus of Chaos will say the same.
Just like when Ye Xiao was still in the Heavens (Source Universe), the Lotus of Chaos was in the form of a seed called Domineering God Crystal at that time. It told Ye Xiao that cultivating any cultivation technique to absorb energy from heaven and earth is not his true way of cultivation. His true way of cultivation is to comprehend the Laws of Heavenly Dao and their Profound Meanings.
Ye Xiao believed that the Lotus of Chaos will tell him the same this time as well. It will tell him to comprehend the Rules of Chaos this time.
Although Ye Xiao believed that the Lotus of Chaos will tell him this, he was still not sure. So he was waiting for the seal on his universe to be broken. At that time, he could gain access to his universe and contact the Lotus of Chaos which has long become the core of the universe.
Ye Xiao stood up and looked at Phantom who was looking at him as if he was a monster.
In the past few days, Phantom did not have to suffer like before because all the Thunder Force was being devoured by Ye Xiao constantly. Because of this, the thunder energy that burst with destructive bolts of lightning was greatly weakened. This weakened energy was not capable of injuring it any more.
This was all because of Ye Xiao.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Ye Xiao asked when he saw how Phantom was looking at him.
“What are you? You are not a human, right?” Phantom was still in a daze as he asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Eh, nothing!”
Phantom shook his head and looked at the surroundings. It seems that torrents of thunder and lightning were dissipating now. There doesn’t seem to be enough energy to support the constant eruption of thunder and lightning that could affect this area.
The source itself seemed to be affected by Ye Xiao’s devouring greatly.
As for Ye Xiao, his body was already many times stronger than how it was in the past. It is because he used the Thunder Force to endure unbearable pain while tempering his body from the inside out. Every single part of his body, every organ, and every nerve was tempered with thunder force and become much more tougher and stronger than before.
It was a piece of shocking news for a Chaos Dust Realm warrior’s body to be this stronger. Ye Xiao could face a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior with his body alone now. Also, his own strength has become many times stronger. The current him could even fight that Shadow Thunder Panther at its peak.
“Wait a minute?”
When Ye Xiao thought about the Shadow Thunder Panther, he remembered that both Shadow Thunder Panther and Qi Yaner were much stronger than any other Chaos Spirit Realm warriors.
Could it be because they had also tempered their bodies and energy at this place, in the storm of thunder force?
It really seemed to be the case.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath now that he understood why those two existences were so strong.
But now, he no longer has to be afraid because he has also gotten much stronger.
Leaving that aside for now, Ye Xiao still had a bottle of Origin Fluid left with him that was enough to help Ye Xiao break through to the Chaos Spirit Realm.
But Ye Xiao was not ready to devour this bottle of Origin Fluid just now.
Although he has gotten stronger by devouring the Origin Fluid and Thunder Force in the surroundings and there was no damage to his foundations, he had yet to get used to the sudden rise in strength. He needed to adapt to his current strength before he could continue increasing his strength again.
Thus, Ye Xiao decided to first adapt to his cultivation base before taking another step to breakthrough through the Chaos Spirit Realm.
After that, all he has to do is to raise his cultivation base to the Late Stage of Chaos Spirit Realm, and then he could again devour the Million Star Heart Fruit to directly cross the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and become a Chaos Spirit Saint.
The Million Star Heart Fruit was something Ye Xiao obtained while going through the First Trial of the Golden Tower. At that time, he encountered two girls, Ning Xiang and Qin Xiaoling. Among them, Qin Xiaoling was born with the blessings of a Land.
He had obtained two Million Star Heart Fruit and was planning to give both to the two girls. However, he had only given one when the trial ended and Yu Han brought Ye Xiao back to the First Floor of Golden Tower and gave him a piece of advice.
This fruit was very extremely rare and could benefit a martial warrior greatly.
Anyway, both Ning Xiang and Qin Xiaoling were characters of the distant past. Ye Xiao has no idea if he could meet them again or not.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and observed the surroundings once again. This time, he mainly focused on the walls that were not affected by the destructive thunder and lightning in the slightest. These walls seemed to be created from special materials. .
While Ye Xiao was still observing the walls, his right hand suddenly trembled and he felt as if something was trying to contact him.
He looked at his right hand and saw an imprint of a spear appearing on the back of his palm. This imprint of a spear was glowing with faint blue light.
The Void Shattering Spear seemed to tell him something.
When Ye Xiao focused on it, he found that the Void Shattering Spear seemed to want something that is hidden behind a certain part of the wall.
“Something is hidden behind the wall?”
Ye Xiao was surprised to learn this.
