“Ye Xiao?”
Puchi~
A head flew in the air. This was Su Xue Er’s head.
Ye Xiao slowly wiped the blood out of his Infinity Edge Blade and muttered, “Thank you for letting me see them after so long. However, you should not have crossed the line!”
The corpse of Su Xue Er dissipated in thin air right after Ye Xiao killed her.
Without looking at Zhao Yufei, Zhao Qing’er, Xue Xiaofei, and Yue Ying, Ye Xiao slashed out once again. Several blade lights appeared that instantly cut these four women into several pieces.
“YE… XIAO…”
These two were their last words before they disappeared. And just like that, the third layer of illusion was broken by Ye Xiao.
“Roar!”
A monster’s roar echoed in the tunnel. Ye Xiao finally saw the master of those illusions. It was a Three-tailed White Fox, a very rare Chaos Beast.
“Soul Destruction!”
Without wasting time, Ye Xiao directly destroyed its soul. The Three-tailed White Fox was unable to react in time. Ye Xiao breaking its illusion one after another caused this beast to be shocked greatly. It could only roar to try to scare Ye Xiao. However, it never thought Ye Xiao would not care about it and destroy its soul the next instant.
Looking at the corpse of Three-tailed White Fox, Ye Xiao snorted, “I told you, you should not have crossed the line!”
Ye Xiao pressed forward once again. There was no telling whether there were other Chaos Beasts in the tunnel or not, however, after killing the Three-tailed White Fox, Ye Xiao did not see another Chaos Beast.
“Why does it grow colder as I venture deeper into this cave?”
Ye Xiao was not as casual as before, as he found that the journey was getting colder and colder while he moved on.
The Ice Crystal was clearly left behind, however, the cold was increasing instead of decreasing. There must be a reason.
The pathway was very long. Ye Xiao stopped halfway as he found some shining crystals on the wall. He couldn’t see its quality, but these crystals seemed to have been condensed here because of the cold energy. They were the manifestation of cold energy inside the cave.
Although these crystals were not of great use to Ye Xiao, however, they were definitely a treasure for the people of Illusionary Spirit Gate.
So, Ye Xiao started digging out these crystals and dug more than a hundred of them before starting to walk again. After fifteen minutes, he found that he had reached a spacious hall inside the cave. It was bigger than the hall where Ye Xiao had seen the giant Ice Crystal. It was dozens of meters high and embedded with Cold Energy Crystals.
Also, it was connected to a huge pool of water. Essentially, it was a round swimming pool with a circular path on the periphery. The water in it was so clear that Ye Xiao could see the bottom very easily. Ye Xiao also saw a huge crystal at the bottom of the lake that was more than ten meters long.
“Huh… What is that?”
Ye Xiao frowned and took a closer look, only to find that it was also a Cold Energy Crystal, just much bigger than other Cold Energy Crystals Ye Xiao dug out from the walls before. Near the huge Cold Energy Crystal were a few herbs complimenting cold and icy attributes.
“This pool… the water in it is actually not water but liquified cold energy!”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and muttered.
Ye Xiao had no idea why there were so many Cold Energy Crystals here, but at this time, he knew that the Celestial Destroyer-ranked giant Ice Crystal he saw previously might just be another product of the origin that also produced these Cold Energy Crystals.
Then what is the thing that had produced so many Cold Energy Crystals and that giant Ice Crystal?
Ye Xiao was determined to find it.
For now, he focused on the huge Cold Energy Crystal that was not inferior to the Ice Crystal Ye Xiao saw earlier, be it in size or energy.
Staring at the giant Cold Energy Crystal, Ye Xiao suddenly changed his face, as he spotted a few dark spots inches away from the giant Cold Energy Crystal.
“Hmm… They are… Seeds!”
“What kind of seeds are those things?”
Ye Xiao frowned and kept looking. Then he stepped out to take a closer look but stopped suddenly. He found it odd that there was no creature around the pool filled with liquified Cold Energy.
Was there really none, or were they invisible?
While Ye Xiao became alert and kept observing his surroundings, an enormous shadow flashed on his left. Ye Xiao couldn’t tell what it was at all except that it was dozens of meters long.
Before Ye Xiao could react, that enormous shadow appeared behind him and attacked, forcing Ye Xiao to take a few steps back.
Ye Xiao was really dumbfounded at this time.
What kind of creature could actually force him to take a few steps back?
It is clear that whatever it was, it had amazing strength. That creature’s cultivation might be under the limit of restriction, however, its strength must have surpassed the limit of Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm.
That enormous shadow flashed again, however, Ye Xiao was ready this time. He took out the Infinity Edge Blade and several rays of blade lights appeared before shooting in all directions.
“Pu… Pu… Pu…”
Although that creature was very fast and tried to avoid the blade lights, a few rays of blade lights still landed on its body, causing it to start bleeding.
However, that creature still did not cry or let out any kind of noise.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao flashed inside the pool and kept the giant Cold Energy Crystal in his spatial ring before teleporting out.
Huala~
The enormous creature could not be careless about Ye Xiao’s attack. It knew that avoiding Ye Xiao’s next attack would be impossible, so it took action and attacked Ye Xiao first.
It appeared in front of Ye Xiao and clawed at him.
It was at this moment Ye Xiao clearly saw this enormous figure. It was a huge white wolf with a snowflake imprint on its forehead.
Ye Xiao saw that the claw of this enormous white wolf was covered in frost.
“Soul Destruction!”
Ye Xiao’s eyes flashed with light for a moment before returning to normal. The giant wolf’s action froze in the middle and then it fell down to the ground. It could not be more dead!
“Humph! Did you really think you have any chance of injuring me?”
Ye Xiao snorted coldly and then focused on the Pool filled with liquified Cold Energy.
At this moment, the Void Shattering Spear reacted to the cold energy all of a sudden.
Ye Xiao frowned and took out the Void Shattering Spear, and sensed the immense greed it was showing toward the Cold Energy Pool.
“Do you want to absorb the cold energy?”
Ye Xiao was surprised. After all, the attribute of Void Shattering Spear was not cold but void. Although it was too weak to affect the void in its current state, Ye Xiao knew that as long as the Void Shattering Spear evolves, shattering the Void would no longer be a mere thought.
Then the question was, why was the Void Shattering Spear showing its greed and intention to absorb the Cold Energy?
Is there anything special about this Cold Energy Liquid?
“Wait a minute!”
Ye Xiao frowned deeply. He suddenly thought that the Void Shattering Spear did not react to the Cold Energy Crystals, but it was now reacting to the Cold Energy Liquid.
There must be a reason!
In the end, Ye Xiao let go of the Void Shattering Spear which flew and stabbed into the depth of the pool.
It did not absorb the liquified Cold Energy, instead, it went to the bottom of the pool and disappeared all of a sudden.
“Hmm?”
Ye Xiao could not be more shocked. One moment, the Void Shattering Spear was still there, and the next moment, it disappeared.
Because of the bond with the Void Shattering Spear, Ye Xiao was able to sense that the spear was no longer in this spatial zone, but somewhere far away, very far away.
“Is there a spatial channel down there?”
Ye Xiao spread out his Divine Sense and touched the spot where the Void Shattering Spear had disappeared.
Indeed, the moment Ye Xiao touched that spot, he felt his Divine Sense being pulled into a vortex. For a moment, Ye Xiao even felt that if he did not retract his Divine Sense quickly, he might end up losing them.
In the end, Ye Xiao forcefully retracted his Divine Sense and suppressed his curiosity. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁
“My connection with the Void Shattering Spear is still there. I’ll first explore this place, kill the Master of the cave, obtain the Water Source Crystal, and then come to investigate this place again.”
Ye Xiao took a last deep look at the spot where the Void Shattering Spear had disappeared and turned to leave. He also left the liquified pool of Cold Energy untouched.
