It has been three days since Ye Xiao arrived in this chaotic spatial zone. He was not sure where this place was located, but he was sure that there must be some mystery about this place.
First of all, why was this place connected to a small spot inside the cave?
Secondly, where the hell are those scarlet bolts of lightning coming from?
And finally, what exactly is the strange energy mixed in the scarlet bolt of lightning and the swirling dust particles?
Ye Xiao was trying to understand the situation in this place during these three days, however, he understood nothing at all.
The Void Shattering Spear had already evolved from Soulbound Weapon to Heavenly Soul Weapon, and now, it was on the verge of evolving to the Celestial Spirit Weapon.
His spear had devoured too much energy from the scarlet bolts of lightning and dust particles by now.
Nevertheless, that strange energy seemed to be endlessly available in supply at this place.
Ye Xiao was tired and now thought of returning to the Land of Blue Valley and resting for a few days before coming again.
Unfortunately, he could no longer find his way out. The way he came to this strange land was only a one-way road. Anyone could come here just like Ye Xiao did, however, no one could go back. At least, not by ordinary means.
In the end, Ye Xiao decided to do something meaningful.
At first, he was prepared to spend let the Lotus of Chaos absorb the Rule Source Crystals only after gathering seven of them.
However now, the situation was different. He has no idea how to return. The Void Shattering Spear was absorbing the strange energy and evolving constantly. And he has nothing to do here.
Instead of wasting time, he might as well let the Lotus of Chaos absorb the five Rule Source Crystals of the five elements and comprehend the Profound Truth of the five elements.
Without wasting time, he immediately took action. He gave the five Rule Source Crystals of the five elements to the Lotus of Chaos and started observing the Lotus carefully.
As he observed the situation, Ye Xiao saw five petals at the lower layer of the Lotus lighting up with five different colors, and then the five Rule Source Crystals of the five elements were absorbed into those five petals.
The next moment, Ye Xiao was stunned as a surge of information was poured into his mind automatically. He started understanding the five Rules of Chaos and their Profound Truth at the same time.
Most importantly, this was not the end. Ye Xiao’s universe once again started going through the process of destruction and reconstruction. It started expanding and brought chaos and destruction to the universe.
If there was a safe entity in this chaotic universe, then it was Ye Xiao’s Inferno Thunderbird. .
Talking about Inferno Thunderbird, with every evolution of the universe, it was also going through an evolution in some unknown direction.
It used to be Ye Xiao’s martial spirit, however, Ye Xiao cut off the connection between the Inferno Thunderbird and his soul and then sent it inside his universe to go through a transformation. This way, he made the Inferno Thunderbird the firstborn of his universe. And this bird was also the only entity of his universe that was still alive.
Well, at first, it was mainly because of Ye Xiao’s intention. But after that, the Lotus of Chaos itself started protecting this bird, not letting it get affected by the chaos that suddenly appeared in his universe from time to time.
One thing, however, made Ye Xiao happy. As he offered the Rule Source Crystals to the Lotus of Chaos, Rules of Chaos formed and was introduced to his universe. This caused his universe to have a few properties of Chaos, and this disrupted the universe’s balance, causing his universe to lack the lifeforms.
However, the Inferno Thunderbird was not affected by this change. Instead, its strength would increase rapidly with every introduction of a new Rule.
As for his universe, with the introduction of five new Rules, dozens of Laws were forced to disappear by fusing into these five Rules.
Ye Xiao retracted his Divine Sense from his universe and left the universe to go through evolution. He knew it would take years for the evolution process to halt.
Now that he was done with a major matter related to his universe, Ye Xiao focused on the strange energy once again.
Another few days later, Ye Xiao finally could not hold up anymore and decided to fly high up in the sky and look at the scarlet bolts of lightning closely.
As for the fear of getting struck by lightning, Ye Xiao didn’t care at all.
He was a Chaos Sovereign, so it was not easy for him to get injured. And even if he got injured by chance, he could heal immediately with [Life Recovery] ability.
Ye Xiao slowly flew into the sky, but he soon found that investigating these things was not as easy as he had thought. He started to feel the pressure the more he flew up.
And then, there came a time when he had a very familiar sensation. He felt that if he tried to force his way up in the sky anymore, the space here would become unstable and might shatter.
If that really happens, his nemesis, spatial blades will surely welcome him.
“What should I do now?”
Even with his strength at the Chaos Sovereign Realm, Ye Xiao was having this kind of feeling. It was clear that his strength was not enough to explore the source of this strange energy for the time being.
This strange energy was very similar to Abyssal Energy, but it also had the properties of Chaos Energy. It was very strange.
“Fuck it. I’ll continue investigating. If it really comes to the shattering of space, I’ll deal simply teleport away!”
Ye Xiao muttered silently and ignored the pressure and that weird sensation. He chose to force his way up in the sky.
“Urgh!”
As Ye Xiao flew up, his speed slowed down. The atmosphere above was even more chaotic. Most importantly, from time to time, violent waves born from the residual energy of scarlet lightning bolts and swirling dust particles joined with wind, giving birth to destructive wind blades that attacked Ye Xiao.
In the end, their destructiveness becomes such that even with the body stronger than an ordinary Chaos Sovereign, wounds appear in several places on Ye Xiao’s body, and blood flows out.
Ye Xiao ignored the pain and continued to rise high up in the sky.
And then, as Ye Xiao had expected, there came a time when the space itself shattered due to Ye Xiao’s intervention and a storm of spatial energy attacked Ye Xiao.
“Teleport!”
Ye Xiao felt a sense of horror in his heart. He hurriedly turned, only to see dark spatial blades wrapped in exactly that unknown energy slashing at him.
Having no choice, Ye Xiao had to teleport.
However, he had forgotten a lesson he should have learned after entering the Spatial Domain in the Land of Morning Stars.
In a zone with chaotic spatial energy, teleportation would never work as he wants.
Ye Xiao was randomly teleported directly to the empty, chaotic void of chaos.
However, before he was teleported, Ye Xiao saw something that terrified him even more.
But…
Now that he appeared in the void, he no longer had time to think about that horrible vision he had seen earlier.
In an instant after teleportation, Ye Xiao’s world had already changed dramatically. He was now in the empty, chaotic void where berserk Chaos Energy was dominant. As he appeared in the void, the berserk chaotic energy rushed at him with intense force.
“Ahhhhh…”
The feeling that overwhelmed Ye Xiao was excruciating, unlike anything he had ever felt before. It was as if a thousand shards of glass had pierced his skin, sending searing pain throughout his entire body. This torment was so deep that it went beyond physical and emotional pain, reaching into his very soul.
Every part of his body felt like it was under relentless attack as the berserk Chaos Energy invaded, tearing through his flesh.
In those painful moments, he cried out, and his voice seemed to echo in the void, carrying the weight of his suffering.
Unlike the previous time when Ye Xiao experienced the pain brought by the invasion of berserk Chaos Energy, this time, Ye Xiao was attacked even more terribly.
Previously, he was going through the test of the red-clothed man in the Myriad Dimensions Plane. At that time, a torrent of berserk Chaos Energy appeared and invaded his body.
However, this time, he was in the empire of berserk Chaos Energy, the Void of Chaos. The void was filled with violent and chaotic energy that could rip apart even a powerful Chaos Sovereign Realm warrior’s soul.
The pain Ye Xiao started experiencing was simply inhuman. His world became a chaos of suffering in an instant.
The berserk Chaos Energy, like a cruel force, seemed to enjoy his pain, twisting within him. It felt like his whole self had become a battleground, and he was trapped in a brutal war within his own body.
