“Soul Attacks requires Soul Force as the source of energy to work. And just like a soul attack, every skill you or anyone use consumes energy to execute. No matter what kind of skill, it needs certain energy as a medium to execute.”
“Combat skills require Chaos Energy, demonic skills consume demonic energy and the same goes for the abyssal skills which consume abyssal energy. Then there is Blood Energy which is required to execute skills that direct have effects on blood or are related to blood. Even the most primitive physical attack consumes a person’s stamina as the source of energy.”
“In short, energy is the most basic thing and the source of all. Even if one comprehends the Laws of the Universe or Rules of Chaos, they need energy as a source to showcase their strength and understanding. Energy is the only thing that connects everything, including but not limited to Source Universes, Lands, Chaos, Secret Realms, Laws and their Profound Meanings, Rules and their Profound Truth, and more.”
“And what you are going to do is use the energy of Dark Law’s Profound Meaning to connect and establish contact with Dark Source Crystal. Because both are Dark Energy in a sense, establishing a connection with Dark Source Crystal inside your universe is possible. There is more than a 99% chance inside your universe and less than a 9% chance in Chaos. That’s why I asked you to bring the Dark Source Crystal inside your universe before taking any action.”
“And as long as the Demon Emperor’s soul fragment is forced out of the Dark Source Universe, you can destroy it easily. Even if Demon Emepror’s soul fragment wants to escape at that time, it won’t be able to since he’ll be inside your universe.”
Ye Xiao finally understood everything after a long explanation from the Lotus of Chaos. He was also enlightened in a new way and decided to look at things differently from now.
He also had his own ideas as well. He decided to see if it is possible to follow those ideas in the future.
For now, he was going to kill the Demon Emperor.
Ye Xiao immediately entered his universe which has completed its evolution.
The universe was now multiple times bigger than before. Many new worlds appeared and many old worlds had been destroyed. Countless new life forms and races were born.
Screech!
Moments after Ye Xiao entered his universe, a loud shrill piercing cry was heard and Ye Xiao saw a ball of fire flickering with snake-like scarlet lightning bolts coming from far away.
“Inferno Thunderbird!”
A wide smile appeared on Ye Xiao’s face when he looked at the ball of fire and lightning.
The Inferno Thunderbird was born from his soul, it used to be his Martial Spirit. If not for the fact that Ye Xiao wanted to make the Inferno Thunderbird the firstborn of his universe, he would never have detached it from being his Martial Spirit.
Fortunately, that decision saved Inferno Thunderbird as well. Otherwise, when he died and his soul shattered in fragments of light and scattered around in chaos outside the Heavens, Inferno Thunderbird might have died there at that time. No one could guarantee it would have survived that disaster, maybe not even the Lotus of Chaos.
The Inferno Thunderbird arrived and revealed its marvelous appearance in front of Ye Xiao.
This was a huge golden bird with a golden flaming crown on its head. Its pair of golden eyes were flashing with a flicker of scarlet lightning. A hint of intelligence could also be seen in its eyes. It has a pair of golden wings burning with golden flames, and other than flames, scarlet lightning could be seen flashing constantly around its entire body.
The Inferno Thunderbird’s golden feathers had their own shine and uniqueness. Every single one of these feathers seemed to be capable of killing any saints, for they contains a kind of poison even the saints could not withstand.
Inferno Thunderbird’s body started shrinking and it soon became a palm-sized golden bird with its original characteristics completely hidden. It now looked like a small golden bird without uniqueness.
The little golden bird flew and sat on Ye Xiao’s shoulder, chirping in excitement. And Ye Xiao could completely understand what the little golden bird was saying.
“I am also excited to meet you again after so many years. Looks like you have been bored here!”
“Chirp! Chirp!”
“Oh… You have already lived here for eons. Just how long has it been since my death!”
Ye Xiao was surprised to know that the Inferno Thunderbird had already been in this universe for eons. This caused Ye Xiao to feel puzzled and scared as well.
He was puzzled as to it was unknown how many years it has been since his death. And he was scared for the same reason, for he has completely zero idea as to what might have happened in the Heavens in such a long time.
What about his wives, sons, and daughters?
How are they?
He promised them before leaving the Heavens that he will come back one day. But he never returned. Are they still waiting for him?
There were many questions and Ye Xiao could only suppress his overwhelming emotions to keep calm.
Taking a deep breath, he spoke to the Inferno Thunderbird, saying, “Don’t worry, you won’t be bored for long. Just watch over this universe. Very soon, I will bring you out to adventure in Chaos with me. But now is not the time!”
The Inferno Thunderbird nodded its little head in understanding and chirped once again.
“I am here to do an important job.”
Ye Xiao smiled at the little Inferno Thunderbird and then teleported above a huge lotus.
This was the Lotus of Chaos, standing grandly in the center of the universe, its roots penetrating deep into the universe and covering every corner of this universe. There were exactly 108 leaves with mysterious golden patterns. When Ye Xiao looked at those leaves, he could feel a wave of bizarre comprehension about something very mysterious entering his mind. But just a moment later, Ye Xiao felt his head will explode if he did not stop looking at the Lotus’s leaves!
Closing his eyes for a short period of time, Ye Xiao opened them once again. This time, he did not look at the Lotus of Chaos but focused on his Divine Chaos Sea, wanting to bring out the Dark Source Crystal here.
He chose to do this near the Lotus of Chaos because he felt he will be safer here, and this feeling came from the depth of his soul.
However, Ye Xiao was shocked beyond belief when he focused inside his Chaos Divine Sea.
It is because the Dark Source Crystal was no longer floating above his Chaos Divine Sea, occupying the centermost area. It was floating on the leftmost side.
And at the centermost area of the Chaos Divine Sea, a golden seed being protected inside an energy barrier was floating, releasing waves of golden fog. This was not actually fog, but some sort of energy, denser than anything Ye Xiao had ever seen, so dense that it transformed into fog.
And the moment Ye Xiao focused inside his Chaos Divine Sea, he immediately felt a wave of deep comprehension. He felt like… If he wants, he could comprehend anything, even the Dark Force from the Dark Source Crystal in mere seconds. All he needs to do is to focus and concentrate.
However, the comprehensive energy being released from the Golden Sea was so dense that focusing became impossible. Ye Xiao instead felt a wave of sleepiness drifting inside his soul, causing him to fall unconscious almost immediately.
“Focus!”
Suddenly, a voice stirred Ye Xiao’s soul, bringing back him to reality.
Ye Xiao was so terrified that he immediately withdraw from Chaos Divine Sea. Ye Xiao was so scared that he could not define how he felt just a moment ago. He felt like he has used up a lifetime of fortune to safely withdraw from Chaos Divine Sea while staying awake, otherwise, he might have fallen asleep for eternity there, in the deepest comprehensive state possible.
“That was… The Golden Seed I saw in the Red Star Secret Realm!”
Ye Xiao still remembered when he had first seen this Golden Seed inside the Red Star Secret Realm. He had felt the same way at that time as he did now.
He obtained the Comprehension Herb and Purple Crystals from that cave, but he was unable to obtain the Golden Seed before he was transported out of the secret realm.
At that time, Ye Xiao thought that he had lost the opportunity to obtain a great treasure, the Golden Seed. He was not aware that the Golden Seed had entered his Divine Chaos Sea at some unknown time and was residing there from that moment.
But it could not be blamed on Ye Xiao as well.
After coming out of the Red Star Secret Realm, he never looked inside his Chaos Divine Sea, so he did not find out about the Golden Seed’s presence.
The Golden Seed also did not affect his Chaos Divine Sea in the slightest, so he also did not feel anything unusual. And so he never took a look at his Chaos Divine Sea.𝘦𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.
