The universe was now at least two times larger and stronger than what Ye Xiao had last seen.
The stronger his universe, the stronger Ye Xiao will be. Ye Xiao’s main strength was not his cultivation base or soul strength but his universe. His universe was the mainline of his future. As long as his universe is there, Ye Xiao has no need to worry about anything.
It is just that, expanding the universe is difficult. Ye Xiao still has no idea how to expand his universe further.
When he was still in the Heavens, Ye Xiao was able to expand his universe crazily by throwing the corpses of Chaos Beasts to the Domineering God Crystal which is now the Lotus of Chaos.
However, at that time, his universe was too small and weak so this method worked. If he wants to do the same even now, then he will be disappointed.
He has to think of other ways to expand his universe.
At this moment, the Lotus of Chaos spoke, “Your universe has expanded to a source universe’s limit. Now, you have to find a few things before we can start introducing the Rules of Chaos to your universe.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. He knew his universe will one day evolve into Chaos eventually. And in order to do that, he was about to take the first step.
“What are the things I need to prepare?” Ye Xiao asked silently.
“Well, you already have the Dark Source Crystal. The first thing to do is eliminate the fragment of the Demon Emperor’s soul. And then can we proceed further!” 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
A light flashed in Ye Xiao’s eyes. It was finally time to take care of the hidden enemy that might have become a prominent danger to Ye Xiao in the near future. This fragment of the Demon Emperor’s soul was also what was stopping Ye Xiao from trying to comprehend the Dark Force from Dark Source Crystal.
After all, as long as he comprehends the Dark Force to a certain extent, the Demon Emperor could act and try to seize Ye Xiao’s body.
But if the fragment of the Demon Emperor’s soul is first killed, then Ye Xiao would not have any potential danger hidden inside his body.
“Then how should we get rid of the Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul?” Ye Xiao asked.
“Actually, getting rid of him is very easy. As long as you bring the Dark Source Crystal inside your universe, you would be able to expel the Demon Emperor’s fragment soul out of that Rule Source Crystal, for you are the GOD of your universe. Inside your universe, your will is absolute order and command. The Laws of the Universe and their Profound Meanings will follow your wish and easily expel the Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul out.”
Nodding his head, Ye Xiao understood what the Lotus of Chaos wanted to tell him. Before this, Ye Xiao’s universe was either sealed or was going through an evolution. In both scenarios, Ye Xiao could not make use of his universe’s strength.
But now, the case was different. He could easily force the Demon Emperor’s soul out of the Dark Source Crystal. It is just he was still slightly confused.
“Are you sure I could do that? After all, Dark Source Crystal is a Rule Source Crystal of chaos. It is not something that should have been affected by the Laws of a mere universe!”
Ye Xiao’s question was a key question.
The Lotus of Chaos replied, “Of course, if you want to affect the Dark Source Crystal, it is impossible. You could neither harm nor take advantage of the Dark Source Crystal with the Power of your Universe. It is just that, Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul is not a part of Dark Source Crystal. Demon Emperor wrapped his soul in Dark Force and tricked the Dark Source Crystal into mistaking him as a form of Dark Rule, making the Dark Source Crystal reject the Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul. This is how Demon Emperor managed to enter the Dark Source Crystal and survived till now.”
“However, you could use your universe’s Profound Meaning of Dark Law to try establishing a connection with the Dark Source Crystal. As long as you succeed in doing this, you could send a tell the Dark Source Crystal about the hidden Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul. Knowing foreign energy is housing inside it, the Dark Source Crystal will automatically kick out the Demon Emperor’s fragmented soul!”
“Wait! Wait!”
The Lotus of Chaos was about to continue speaking but Ye Xiao stopped it. He understood everything but was puzzled as well. He could not help but ask, “You told me I could use my Universe’s Profound Meaning of Dark Law to establish a connection with Dark Source Crystal. Are you sure I could do that? Isn’t the Dark Rule of Chaos far above the level of a universe’s Profound Meaning of Dark Law?”
“In theory, yes!”
The Lotus of Chaos then explained many things to Ye Xiao. It started from basic, saying, “You have used Soul Destruction ability to destroy countless souls till now. Do you know how this ability of yours works? Do you know why it is able to destroy anyone’s soul, but that soul has to be on the same level as your soul or weaker?”
Ye Xiao was stunned. He had really never thought about this question. Even when Ye Xiao was inside the Heavens, he never really thought about it at all.
Ye Xiao always thought that the Soul Destruction ability is just a very powerful ability that he could use to kill anyone who has the same soul strength as him or is weaker than him. If a person’s soul is slightly stronger than his soul, then he could only injure that person. However, if a person’s soul is far stronger than his soul, then Ye Xiao’s soul destruction ability will cause zero damage.
In Ye Xiao’s eyes, the Soul Destruction ability is something that belonged to the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon. He obtained this marvelous ability from this ancestral dragon which works only on souls!
That’s it!
Now that he heard Lotus of Chaos asking if he knew why the Soul Destruction ability could destroy the soul of a targeted person, Ye Xiao fell into deep thought for the very first time.
In the end, Ye Xiao has already lived a life and was now living a second life. In his previous life, he lived for at least thousands of years. It could even be said that he is an old monster living in the body of a sixteen years old child. He has been through many things and possesses the ability to decipher things.
After a short while of deep thinking, Ye Xiao found a few core points and spoke, “Whenever I use Soul Destruction ability, I sense my soul force compressing in an instant before bursting out like a ray of light from my soul directly to the opponent’s soul, destroying the opponent’s soul in an instant. It is a soul-type attack after all. And it is obvious, I could only harm those who have similar or weaker soul force compared to mine. This is why this ability only works on those with equal powerful souls or weaker than me!”
“Yes, you at least get a few points correct!”
The Lotus of Chaos gave its approval to Ye Xiao’s points and explained, “As you’ve said, the Soul Destruction ability uses your Soul Force. But it is not that simple. The moment you execute the Soul Destruction ability, the first thing that reacts is not your soul force but the core of your soul!”
“The core of my soul?”
This is the first time Ye Xiao was hearing something about the core of a soul.
“Yes!” The Lotus of Chaos continued, “Just like how a dantian is needed to absorb and keep spirit energy, an inner world is needed to absorb and keep Immortal Energy, a Divine Domain is needed to help the inner world keep the Divine Energy, and Chaos Divine Sea is needed to absorb and hold the Chaos Energy, a Soul Core is needed to hold the Soul Force, not letting soul force escape a person’s soul.”
“A Soul Core is not only the house where soul force is gathered and kept enclosed, but it is also the weakest point of a soul. If a person’s soul core is destroyed, that person will die immediately. If a soul core is damaged, that person will immediately fall into a long sleep where the probability of waking up is less than 1%.”
“Whenever you use your Soul Destruction ability, the Soul Core receives an order and reacts immediately. Your Soul Force does not compress at that point but first locks on the opponent’s soul core, and then starts compressing before blowing a fatal attack, destroying the opponent’s core and killing them immediately. Soul Attack is a type of energy attack that targets only souls and soul cores.”
