After coming back to the Land of Morning Stars, the first thing Ye Xiao did was to get rid of all the Worms and Heavenly Demons from this Land. Not a single one was spared other than the leader of all Heavenly Demons responsible for the invasion.
The leader does not seem to care about anything, he only has one goal in mind. And in order to chase his goal, he even ignored the death of all his subordinates. He did not even fear his Lord.
There is a saying, that people die for treasure and might even kill their parents if needed.
The same was true for this leader of Heavenly Demon. In front of his goal, nothing was important.
What is his goal?
Ye Xiao already knew about it.
Now that he has become an Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior, he can envelop the entire Land of Morning Stars with his Divine Sense. He could see everything that was happening at every corner of this Land.
He already knew that the Heavenly Demon was chasing after the Thunder Swallowing Wolf King and the strange giant creature carrying a huge boulder on its back. His goal seemed to be that boulder or to be more specific, the contents recorded on the surface of that boulder.
Ye Xiao could mysterious energy flow from the Divine Inscriptions on the boulder. He also felt that as long as he could decipher the Divine Inscriptions, his strength would take yet another leap.
Now that all the Worms and Heavenly Demons have been exterminated by Ye Xiao, the war finally came to an end in the Land of Morning Stars. However, it might take several hundred years for the Land of Morning Stars to return to its normal course. After all, countless people have been slaughtered. Only one-tenth of the total population remains; everyone else has perished.
“It is time to take care of that Heavenly Demon!”
Ye Xiao muttered and disappeared, reappearing in front of the Heavenly Demon who was about to attack the giant creature.
“Heavenly Demon Transformation!”
Ye Xiao did not need to transform into a Heavenly Demon to defeat the leader of demons. However, he chose to do so because he wanted to gauge the extent of his Heavenly Demon Bloodline’s strengthening after undergoing the nurturing process of the mysterious “Origin Energy” in the Myriad Plane Dimensions.
Ye Xiao instantly transformed into a 500 meters tall Heavenly Demon. His entire body was burning with green flame. He could control this flame as he wished. He had also awakened a few new abilities of Heavenly Demon.
These abilities are…
Shadow Manipulation: In the form of a Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao can control and shape shadows to conceal himself or capture his foes. He can also solidify shadows into tangible objects or weapons.
Soul Corruption: With a touch or gaze, he can corrupt and taint the souls of his victims, causing them to experience overwhelming darkness and despair. This ability can lead to moral decay and emotional instability. .𝙘𝒐𝒎
Nightmare Projection: As a Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao can project his malevolent thoughts and nightmares into the minds of his enemies, subjecting them to horrifying and debilitating visions that can induce madness.
Heavenly Portal: He could also open portals to dark and malevolent Lands, summoning nightmarish creatures or channeling dark energies to attack his enemies.
Dark Regeneration: He can absorb the life force or essence of those he defeats, using it to heal his wounds, enhance his strength, and prolong his longevity.
Demonic Shadow Step: He can meld with the shadows and traverse great distances instantaneously, allowing him to appear and disappear at will, making him a formidable adversary in hit-and-run tactics.
Dark Possession: As a Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao can temporarily possess the bodies of weaker beings with a trace of his soul, using them as puppets to carry out his sinister will and ambitions.
These were the seven abilities Ye Xiao awakened as a Heavenly Demon. Ye Xiao was astonished to learn about these abilities. But then, he suddenly smiled, as if he found a way to obtain something that was extremely difficult to obtain by normal means.
Ye Xiao still remembered that the Demon Emperor obtained the Dark Source Crystal from a warrior of the Spiritas Race. That warrior died because of the injuries inflicted on him by Abyssals. He came from the Land of Nine Hells where Abyssals live.
According to that warrior of the Spiritas Race, there were two Rule Source Crystals in the Land of Nine Hells. These two Rule Source Crystals are the Dark Source Crystal and the Blood Source Crystal.
The Land of Nine Hells is named “nine” because it consists of a total of nine layers. The first layer is where the weakest of Abyssals reside. The second layer is home to Abyssals stronger than those found in the First Layer, and so forth. The ninth layer harbors the most formidable Abyssals.
The Dark Source Crystal was found on the third floor of the Land of Nine Hells. As for the Blood Source Crystal, as per the Spiritas Race warrior, it is located in the Fifth Layer.
If Ye Xiao goes there as a human, Abyssals will definitely try to tear him apart. However, as a Heavenly Demon, it would be a different story.
Moreover, with these amazing abilities of Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao was sure to get out of even the most dangerous situation.
Just when Ye Xiao was thinking about this, he was suddenly reminded of the Essence of the King.
“What am I thinking? With the Essence of the King, I could easily become a Chaos Sovereign. At that time, no one could compete with me, not even the strongest of Abyssals. Why should I be afraid?”
With this, Ye Xiao took a deep breath and focused on the leader of Heavenly Demon who was also looking at him.
“Who are you?” The Heavenly Demon asked curiously.
“I am one of you, don’t you see it?” Ye Xiao replied with a smile on his burning demonic face.
The leader of Heavenly Demon shook his head, speaking, “Although the aura on your body belongs to a Heavenly Demon, that green flame does not. A Heavenly Demon could never have a green flame. Your green flame seems to be more destructive than my black flame. Just who are you?”
Ye Xiao was surprised to learn a new thing. But he did not mind being different from normal Heavenly Demons. After all, from the very beginning, his Heavenly Demon Bloodline was not pure, it was a mutated bloodline.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, just know that I am here to kill you!” Ye Xiao stated.
“Ha… Hahahaha!” Hearing what Ye Xiao said, the Heavenly Demon started laughing loudly. He then said, “Although you might seem fiercer and bigger than me, it doesn’t mean you have the strength to kill me!”
As the Heavenly Demon spoke, he roared loudly and unleashed a furious assault upon Ye Xiao, his mighty roar echoing across the battlefield.
His clenched fist blazed with ominous black flames, a manifestation of his overwhelming intent to annihilate Ye Xiao. With the intention of killing Ye Xiao, the Heavenly Demon’s fist shot forth like a relentless comet.
However, Ye Xiao stood silently, his presence radiating an indomitable aura. As the Heavenly Demon’s blazing fist closed in, Ye Xiao made a simple, yet profound gesture. He simply waved off his hand. At that moment, a radiant energy enveloped him, a protective shield that shimmered with green light.
“BOOM!”
The clash between their forces was cataclysmic. The impact resonated through the very core of the battlefield, causing mountains to tremble and the earth to quake. Their collision sent shockwaves rippling outward, creating an awe-inspiring display of raw power.
“Hmm?”
The Heavenly Demon was surprised. He did not expect Ye Xiao to easily block his attack.
How did he do this?
Although the Heavenly Demon was curious, he did not stop. If one attack does not do the work, then the second will do. And if the second one fails, then the third one.
With this sort of thinking, the Heavenly Demon’s relentless assault continued.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
“Boom!”
The Heavenly Demon continued to attack Ye Xiao, strike after strike, each one fueled by his burning anger. Yet, with seemingly effortless grace, Ye Xiao blocked each attack. His energy flowed like an impenetrable barrier, showing his unparalleled strength.
Rumble~
Thump!
As their battle raged on, the destructive force they generated reshaped the very landscape. Mountains crumbled beneath the sheer force of their clash, and the earth itself shattered, leaving behind a scarred and desolate terrain.
Ye Xiao’s overwhelming power was evident to all who witnessed the spectacle. Of course, only two chaos beasts were witnessing this battle. They were Thunder Swallowing Wolf King and the strange giant creature.
“This… How could this be?”
The Heavenly Demon found himself unable to breach the impenetrable defense that Ye Xiao had erected. He was greatly dumbfounded. He could not believe how easily Ye Xiao solved all his attacks.
