“What kind of cultivation technique is that? Did Demon Emperor hide that cultivation technique somewhere? Otherwise, why couldn’t those people find it after searching the entire Demon Palace and overturning the Demon Emperor Hall?” Ye Xiao shook his head and smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it after all.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao looked around the hall once again and then followed a path in front of him before walking on that path. He saw a faint glimmer of light not too far away.
There was a faint trace of profound energy in the light and Ye Xiao could not help but quicken his footsteps. He wanted to investigate what it was. However, when he walked over, he was startled because the thing emitting the profound light was nothing else but a pile of bones.
What was shining was actually a pile of skeletons!
When he thought about it, Ye Xiao felt a chill down his spine.
Ye Xiao sat down and started to closely examine the pile of bones. He actually discovered a row of small words written in front of the pile of bones.
“Only a person with the guts to light the extreme darkness can obtain my inheritance!”
Ye Xiao muttered to himself. His eyes at first revealed a confused expression but when he thought deeply about it, his expression slowly changed.
Could it be that these bones in front of him were the bones of the Demon Emperor?
Demon Emperor was a peerless figure in his era. If he could obtain Demon Emperor’s inheritance, then his own strength would definitely be even greater!
Then again, if these bones really belong to the Demon Emperor, it means Demon Emperor is dead.
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh with pity.
Light the extreme darkness?
When Ye Xiao thought of those lines, he could not help but reveal a confused expression. He could not understand what Demon Emperor means by lighting the extreme darkness.
Anyway, he should try and see if he could receive the inheritance of the Demon Emperor.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and spoke, “I don’t know if you could hear me or not, or sense my intention, but if given an opportunity, I definitely won’t back down lighting the extreme darkness. It is just I have no idea what these words really represent!”
Just as Ye Xiao finished his sentence, the bones suddenly emitted a faint buzzing sound, as though they acknowledged Ye Xiao’s words. A beam of light shot out from the bones and struck Ye Xiao’s body.
Ye Xiao felt as though something had invaded his Divine Sense. He quickly closed his eyes to take a look. After that, his body trembled violently; his face was filled with shock.
“Buzz!” “Buzz!”
A buzzing sound rang in his mind and the next moment, Ye Xiao’s entire attention was focused in his Chaos Divine Sea. It is because there was a dark crystal floating above his Chaos Divine Sea, slowly affecting the sea and turning it black.
At the same time, Ye Xiao could also feel a profound dark force. Yes, it was the Dark Force, the Rule of Darkness!
And this crystal was deeply affecting his Chaos Divine Sea.
Although the process was slow, it was also a truth that his Chaos Divine Sea was slowly turning black.
Ye Xiao tried to approach the Dark Crystal and control it but the second his consciousness got close to the Dark Crystal, Ye Xiao felt his consciousness being eroded from extreme darkness.
“What the hell?”
Ye Xiao was really shocked. He has no idea what this Dark Crystal is or why is it affecting his Chaos Divine Sea so much.
Is this the inheritance Dark Emperor talked about?
Ye Xiao really fell into deep thought. He did not know whether to worry or celebrate. But then again, he could not bring himself to celebrate obtaining the inheritance of the Demon Emperor. He was more worried, for he has no idea what his future will turn out.
Just as Ye Xiao was worried, the Dark Crystal glowed and a dark figure came out. Well, to be more clear, it was a figure in a dark robe who came out from the Dark Crystal in fog before materializing.
Ye Xiao raised his eyes in surprise and looked at this dark figure.
The dark figure, as if it could see Ye Xiao, spoke, “I don’t know who you are or where you came from, but I am certain you are definitely someone who has, at the very least, come in contact with an Abyssal or Abyssal Energy!”
Ye Xiao frowned, for it was shocking to hear Demon Emperor mentioning Abyssals and Abyssal Energy.
If talking about Abyssals, then yes, Ye Xiao has come in contact with an Abyssal or more like Abyssal Energy.
It is when he discovered that the Living Flowers in the Ye Family’s garden were the souls of people who died tragically and were affected by Abyssal Energy. It was then he and others made a conjecture that Green Flame Emperor must have come in contact with Abyssals and made a deal with them.
Talking about Abyssals, they live in a land called the Nine Abyss, commonly known as the Land of Nine Hell. This land is one of the forbidden lands in chaos and also the biggest forbidden land. It is said that the Land of Nine Abyss has a total of nine layers, every layer down is more terrifying than the one above. It is like a nine-layered tower standing upside down.
Well, in truth, he did come in contact with Abyssal Energy.
It is no wonder why he felt like being summoned when he was outside the Demon Palace. It must be because the bones left behind by Demon Emperor felt he had come in contact with Abyssal or at least the Abyssal Energy.
Ye Xiao once again focused on what this black figure was speaking.
“Let’s talk about this Dark Crystal first. You might know or not, this Dark Crystal is called the Dark Source Crystal. It contains the Profound Truth of the Rule of Darkness. Legend says, after giving birth to Chaos, the Lotus of Chaos started withering. It was soon going to die. Before it completely withered, it projected every rule of Chaos and gave birth to 108 Rule Source Crystals, each Rule Source Crystal corresponded to a rule of chaos.”
“Anyone in the possession of a Rule Source Crystal could easily comprehend the force of that rule, and if obtained a certain level of strength they might even comprehend the Profound Truth of that particular rule.”
“When I was weak, I grew up in the shadows of Xing Fanlong, also called Emperor Star Forest. I worked very hard just to increase my cultivation by one minor stage, but he grew at the speed of lightning. It is all because he was born talented. Not to mention, he was born with the blessings of Morning Stars.”
“It can be called my lifetime worth of luck when he accidentally fell in a dark well when I entered a secret realm. I found the Dark Source Crystal in that dark well. Aside from the Dark Source Crystal, there was a book that recorded many things that happened in the forgotten past. From that book, I learn about Rule Source Crystals. That book was written by a being of Spiritas Race on the verge of death. I will give that book to you so that you can read and understand many things of the forgotten past. However, I shall warn you not to open the book until you become at least a Minor Saint.”
As he spoke, a light flashed and a transparent blue book appeared in Ye Xiao’s Divine Chaos Sea, floating far away from the Dark Crystal. It was as if the book was afraid of the dark crystal which surprised Ye Xiao greatly.
The dark figure, who was also the leftover soul of the Demon Emperor, started speaking again, “Now, let me give you another piece of important news. I have no idea what kind of race this Spiritas Race is, but according to the words described in the book, that person of the Spiritas Race stole the Dark Source Crystal from the First Level of Nine Abyss. At that time, he alone eradicated the entire first level of Nine Abyss which resulted in endless pursuit of Abyssals.”
“Those Abyssals were also the reason why that person of Spiritas Race was heavily injured and died tragically in the Dark Well.”
“According to the author of the book, every level of Nine Abyss has a Rule Source Crystal. The second level of Nine Abyss has the Blood Source Crystal. As for other levels, he had no idea what kind of Rule Crystals could be found there. But one thing is confirmed, every Rule Source Crystal found in each level of Nine Abyss must represent the dark side of Chaos. For example, the Dark Source Crystal represents the Rule of Darkness. The Blood Source Crystal represents the Rule of Blood.”𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
