Everyone was competing with each other for obtaining even one of the eight balls of light. Because of their greed, they didn't even notice Ye Xiao's terrifying attack.
Well, even Ye Xiao was surprised after seeing his own strength. With his current cultivation base, he was finally able to execute the true strength of the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends.
"Pfft."
Ye Xiao pushed back a martial artist of the Bai Family with his fist. He swept his gaze across the rest of the people of the Bai Family and a cold smile flashed across his face. His figure flashed and appeared behind a man from the Bai Family a moment later.
Ye Xiao pressed his palm against that man and dense spirit energy rushed into that person's body, causing his breath to stop immediately.
Ye Xiao unleashed his Spirit Devour Escape and once again appeared behind another martial artist of the Bai Family. The long spear in his hand stabbed out and under the terrified gaze of that man, it directly pierced through his chest.
Ye Xiao's figure continuously flashed in the chaotic plaza and every time he appeared, a martial artist from the Bai Family would be killed. In a short quarter of an hour, five martial artists of the Bai Family had already died by his hands.
"I have collected enough interest, I'll play with you in the future." Ye Xiao looked at other people of the Bai Family and thought in his heart. He glanced at Bai Dong before his body flashed and entered the golden hall, which was partially closed.
Ye Xiao was the first one who entered this hall, after all, everyone was busy competing with each other for the balls of light.
The moment Ye Xiao stepped into the hall, he immediately felt the sky and earth started to spin. After a while, when everything calmed down, he was surprised by what he saw in front of him. The space in front of him was empty and lonely. There was not a single thing, only endless darkness, and an empty world.
"What is going on?"
Ye Xiao was surprised. He turned around and wanted to go back. However, the door that led in had disappeared long ago. There was nothing in front of him.
While he was still in shock, a beam of light shot out from a distant location in the void, tearing through space and appearing in front of him. It was like a star. It was an incomparably large star. It was like a bright sun, radiating with radiance.
The first one, followed by the second one, and then the third. In the blink of an eye, the empty space was filled with stars, turning into a starry sky with thick Power of Stars rippling through it. A river of stars quietly flowed beneath his feet.
"Star Illusion Formation!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart before swinging his hand in the air and a vast fluctuation of energy rippled the air, breaking the formation in an instant.
After the illusion was broken, what appeared in front of Ye Xiao was the same golden hall that he entered and he was actually still in front of the entrance of the Golden Hall.
The golden hall did not have any extravagant decorations. Instead, it appeared exceptionally simple. Ye Xiao's gaze circled around the golden hall once and then concentrated at the center of the golden hall.
"Those should be the remains of this ruin's owner." Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and muttered in his heart. He could clearly see that it was a gray skeleton that was sitting down. There seemed to be a unique fluctuation that seeped out from the skeleton.
"This person should have failed when he tried to break through next cultivation realm." A beautiful figure flashed and appeared beside Ye Xiao. The voice that sounded like a clear spring made his heart and soul tremble slightly.
Ye Xiao's expression changed. Someone actually appeared beside him soundlessly without letting him even know.
He quickly took a step back and looked at the beautiful figure beside him with a grave expression. This beautiful figure was none other than the mysterious woman who had appeared outside the ruin and only after her appearance did all the martial artists started attacking the restriction placed on the entrance of the ruin.
Looking at the mysterious Miss Yi up close, Ye Xiao finally realized her stunning beauty. The light-coloured skirt matched well with her almost perfect figure.
"No need to be so nervous. If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you the moment I appeared here, and believe me when I say that you would not have any chance of dodging my attack." Miss Yi said indifferently as she glanced at him with her phoenix eyes.
Although the woman's words were hurtful, Ye Xiao knew that she was not bragging. She could appear beside him without letting him notice her presence. It was another matter that even if she would have used her full strength, she would not be able to kill Ye Xiao.
Well, this Miss Yi was actually at the Early Stage of the Martial King Realm and this was the only thing that surprised Ye Xiao. After all, no martial artist at the Martial King Realm and above was not allowed to enter.
What was more, when she first appeared, she was only at the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm but now, when she again appeared in front of him, she was already at the Immortal King Realm.
It was clear that she broke through to the Immortal King Realm after entering the ruin. She must have encountered some fortuitous encounter.
"This is not a place you can come to. Go back." Miss Yi did not wait for Ye Xiao to speak and stared at him with a pair of extremely clear and emotionless eyes.
"Hehe, lady, you are wrong. Anyone can come here. You don't have the right to judge who can come and can not." Ye Xiao smiled faintly and replied in the same emotionless tone in which this Miss Yi talked with him. The only difference between the two was that there was a faint smile on Ye Xiao's face and Miss Yi's face was completely emotionless.
Miss Yi slightly frowned. This was the first time she heard someone resist her words. And it was even a martial artist who was only at the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
"Even though you are not bad, with your strength, it would be wishful thinking if you wanted to obtain the inheritance of the ruin's owner." Miss Yi spoke again with the same emotionless but cold tone.
Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulder with an indifferent expression. Anyways, he was not interested in any inheritance. What he entered this ruin for was to get some resources to increase his cultivation base.
Miss Yi also no longer bothered with Ye Xiao. She stared straight at the grey skeleton in the center of the golden hall. After a long time, she frowned and said in a cold voice, "I did not expect to see monsters like you in this remote place."
As her voice faded, she waved her hand, causing a resplendent ray of light to descend.
Ye Xiao frowned. Was this woman crazy? She actually attacked a skeleton. However, the scene that followed caused his expression to change. The originally silent and obscure skeleton was now filled with a dark colour. In the blink of an eye, the skeleton was covered with black colour. At the same time, a scarlet light flashed in its empty eyes.
In the midst of Ye Xiao's shocked expression, the black skeleton raised its hand and grabbed the ray of light. It exerted its strength and a black light appeared. The resplendent ray of light was immediately crushed to pieces.
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that I would actually meet a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect here." The dried bone emitted a burst of ear-piercing laughter as it stared at Miss Yi that had already stepped on the light sword in the sky, and its eyes emitted a demonic intent that caused one's heart to palpitate.
"Demon?"
Ye Xiao's heart trembled. He never thought that he would meet a demon here. It turned out that this ruin's owner was actually a demon.
This demon was filled with evil thoughts and even from far away, it still felt extremely uncomfortable. It was as if his skeleton itself did not belong to this world.
"Immortal Sword Sect?" Ye Xiao stared at the girl surnamed Yi. He just heard this name from the skeleton's mouth. It should be the sect that the girl was from. The sect that was known to even a demon who has died who knows how many thousands of years ago, just how powerful that sect actually was.
"Well, it should be First Level Sect!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
