The second race to be born in this universe called themselves the Ancient Race. They were born ten thousand years after the appearance of the Primordial race.
Although they were not as powerful as the Primordial Race, they were still powerful enough to rule over Heaven and Earth.
After the Primordial Race and the Ancient Race, many other races appeared. Some of them were the Giant Race also known as Titans, some of them called themselves Fairy Race, God race, Demon Race, and many others.
One of these races was Humanity.
Ye Xiao was watching everything eagerly and was waiting to see what happened next but at this moment, the scene before him froze and suddenly, the two universes disappeared from in front of his eyes.
The space he was in once again became extremely dark where he could not even see his own figure.
Ye Xiao became extremely anxious. He wanted to know more about what happened but he had no power. He knew that the Heavenly Pearl was not letting him see more and probably, the reason for this was also related to his current strength.
Suddenly, he felt the same suction force that once devoured him and brought him into this space of darkness. Ye Xiao could not understand what was going on. Slowly, he also disappeared from this space of darkness.
.....
_Dragon Secret Realm_
Ye Xiao's dead body right now was covered in blood. His entire body was filled with cracks. There was not a single part of his body that was still intact and not covered in blood.
Inside his sea of consciousness... Well, since this was now his dead body, there was no consciousness ...a vast amount of light was shining. These lights were actually coming from a universe. This universe was once in the form of Heavenly Pearl.
Heavenly Pearl replaced Ye Xiao's Divine Sea by devouring it and evolved into a Universe. This Universe was now Ye Xiao's source of Soul Force as well as spirit energy.
A milky white stream of energy suddenly shot out from this universe and started to spread throughout Ye Xiao's body. Wherever this stream of milky white energy went, his wounds immediately healed. The cracks closed and very soon, Ye Xiao's body that was filled with cracks, wounds, and blood, reverted back to how it was before.
The moment Ye Xiao's body recovered, his soul once again appeared inside his body mysteriously.
Ye Xiao came back to life.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings that were filled with the aura of death and killing intent.
When the Heavenly Pearl was still evolving into a Universe inside his mind, this death aura and the killing intent blocked the sight of the Heavenly Dao from finding him.
Ye Xiao was still in a daze when another stream of milky white energy yet again shot out from the universe and went directly inside his dantian.
"Shua!"
The next moment, his dantian started to expand rapidly. The land appeared and the mountains were created, and very soon, his dantian evolved into a small world. It was at this moment when a green light shot out from the universe and stepped inside this newly evolved small world.
It was Little Yellow.
She looked at Ye Xiao's small world before she turned into green light again and disappeared inside the ground.
Very soon, small grasses started to appear inside his world. Along with the small grasses, many kinds of plants also started to appear.
This scene was extremely similar to what Ye Xiao witnessed inside the Space of Darkness when the Heavens gave birth to Little Yellow and the Nine Ancestral Dragons. After they grew up, because of Little Yellow, forests and trees appeared everywhere in the universe.
Coming back to Ye Xiao's small world, it was still expanding and the grasses and many types of plants were also appearing everywhere in this world.
It is said that only when one stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm could they give birth to any kind of lifeform inside the small world.
Plants were also a type of lifeform. Ye Xiao was still just half a step away from becoming an immortal yet his small world has already given birth to many kinds of trees and grasses.
His small world stopped growing after it reached the size of a planet. It was also the moment when Little Yellow also came out from the ground, looked at the trees that were more like a vast forest with a smile before once again going back to the Universe in Ye Xiao's mind.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, the sound of something being breaking rang out from Ye Xiao's body. It was as if some kind of shackle was broken, Ye Xiao felt extremely comfortable.
Immortal Foundation Realm!!
Yes, Ye Xiao broke through the shackles of mortal and stepped his foot at the Early Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm.
The surrounding spirit energy suddenly started to swirl around his body before being absorbed by him. Very soon, as though the surrounding spirit energy was not enough, the spirit energy from the entire Dragon Secret Realm started to crazily pour inside his body. It was absorbed into his body before being refined and went into his small world, nourishing both his small world and his body.
The First, Second, and Third Layer of the Nine Dragon Universe Circulation Technique were circulating on their own as the moment the spirit energy entered his body, they were refined into the purest form before going inside his small world.
Ye Xiao entered into the state of enlightenment.
At this moment, he felt many mysteries around him as he closed his eyes and tried to comprehend these mysteries.
"Rumble~"
Right at this moment, a sudden ear-piercing rumble was heard.
In an instant, the sky darkened as the thundercloud appeared and covered the entire Dragon Secret Realm. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao noticed his presence and became very furious because Ye Xiao has become an Immortal without getting its approval.
The thunder rumbled again and again as for the very first time, three-coloured lightning gathered together, forming an enormous three-coloured dragon. With frightening oppressive might and an ear-piercing roar, it struck down as if it was striking down from the ninth heaven. It was aimed straight at Ye Xiao.
"Zzzzzz~~"
The next moment, the entire palace was covered by three-coloured lightning.
This time's Thunder Tribulation was overwhelmingly powerful. The lightning this time was stronger than all the lightning Ye Xiao faced before.
Ye Xiao was still in the state of deep enlightenment and he did not feel any kind of danger. He only felt a very destructive aura that complemented the destructive aura inside his body somehow. He began to comprehend them and mysteriously, his comprehension of the Law of Thunder started to deepen further rapidly.
The appearance of the three-coloured lightning simply seemed as if they wanted to rip Ye Xiao apart alive.
"BOOM!"
The three-coloured lightning collided with Ye Xiao's body ferociously.
Even in such a situation, Ye Xiao did not open his eyes, nor did he come back to his sense. Only his expression became distorted and pain filled his face but it was only his subconscious state.
It was because of the Heavenly Pearl that has now already evolved into a Universe. It did not let Ye Xiao wake up from his enlightenment state. This kind of state was very very rare and once miss this opportunity and awaken by the outer disturbance, no one knows when one will be able to get into this state again.
The lightning this time was truly much fiercer than every other lightning Ye Xiao had experienced while making a breakthrough.
Soon, Ye Xiao's flesh started to tear. He was being torn apart and burned away by the lightning. He was being charred black like burned coal. Not only was his flesh changed beyond recognition, but it was also steaming.
It was at this time when green energy surrounded Ye Xiao and rapidly started to heal his body. The burned skin was peeled off from his body as new skin was born.
It was the Vitality Essence of the Queen of Plants. Under the effect of the Little Yellow's Vitality Essence, the destructive effect of the three-coloured lightning soon came to end.
"Rumble!!"
The thunder rumbled even more loudly as if it was roaring because something or someone angered it.
But suddenly, the thunder froze as it dissipated immediately.
After the thundercloud dissipated, the darkness enveloped the entire Dragon Secret Realm.
"Woosh!"
An eye suddenly flapped open on the sky as the eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared. It looked down and its gaze pierced through the layer of death qi and killing intent, and landed directly on Ye Xiao's body who was still in the state of the enlightenment.
A red light flashed as the eye of the Heavenly Dao which was already blood-red, looked even more demonic with the flash of this red light.
