A bizarre outlook was formed as a peculiar sight unfolded in that instant.
It was as if a white flame was set to the entire Spatial Domain. Wherever a person’s sight could reach, they would only see White Flame burning fiercely.
Most importantly, traces of six different rules could be sensed from this white flame as well.
The meaning was clear. The Universe Essence Flame alone was not facing the spatial blades and shattered space with chaotic time rules, but six different Profound Truths of Rules were also assisting this flame in helping Ye Xiao get out of the situation.
This flame was so domineering that it could burn in the Void and devour the Chaos Energy crazily.
While the flame was burning this space, Ye Xiao jumped into the hole where a landscape was reflecting that appeared after the shattered space was seemingly erased from existence.
The moment he jumped into that landscape, he found himself in a completely different location. His surroundings were no longer filled with shattered space and wrinkled time, instead, the gravity here was at least twenty times more intense than outside.
“I’m getting closer!”
At that moment, Ye Xiao realized he was approaching the Gravity Source Crystal.
No matter how Gravity could affect Space and Time, it remained, at its core, an element that governed Gravity.
However, one thing confused him: Why did the Gravity Source Crystal stop affecting space and time as he drew near to it?
With his strength, tolerating twenty times gravity was a mere trifle. Ye Xiao continued to advance toward the source, where the gravitational pull was progressively intensifying.
Twenty-two times Gravity!
Twenty-five times Gravity!
Thirty times Gravity!
Fifty times Gravity!
One hundred times Gravity!
Ye Xiao pressed on despite the escalating gravity. With each step, he ventured further into the region, where the gravity was one hundred times greater than usual.
One hundred times gravity was a staggering figure, a level that even a so-called King of Chaos might struggle to endure.
“Urgh…mhm!”
Ye Xiao, too, found this level of gravity punishing. Fractures began to manifest across his body, causing him to feel immense pain.
Yet, the Gravity Source Crystal remained elusive.
“Heavenly Demon Transformation!”
Ye Xiao promptly assumed his Heavenly Demon form. While his strength surpassed the limit of a Chaos Sovereign, he hadn’t yet reached the threshold of a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior.
As a Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao persisted in his quest.
Five days passed.
Ten days.
In no time, a month had elapsed. The gravity he now endured was an astonishing two hundred times standard. Each step he took required several minutes of preparation.
However, he could at least spot the Gravity Source Crystal in the distance. He could see the crystal hovering mid-air, ensconced within an energy barrier.
By now, Ye Xiao sought an explanation from the Lotus of Chaos, desiring to comprehend why the Gravity Source Crystal was no longer affecting time and space as he got closer to this crystal.
The Lotus of Chaos then explained, telling him that even it has no idea for the time being. It would be able to understand everything as long as the Gravity Source Crystal fuses with one of its petals.
Nevertheless, it still has some understanding of this sort of mystery. It informed Ye Xiao that it could provide an explanation, although that explanation might not necessarily be the ultimate truth or a concrete fact. 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.
Ye Xiao still insisted Lotus of Chaos tell him its understanding.
In the end, the Lotus of Chaos told a few things to Ye Xiao.
According to the Lotus of Chaos, this unusual situation happened because of the special nature of the Gravity Source Crystal. It had a massive amount of gravitational energy, but it could also control how that energy affected things.
As Ye Xiao got closer to the crystal, the Gravity Source Crystal made the gravity much stronger, reaching levels never seen before. It is because this crystal wants to protect itself, and at the same time, wants to test the person whether the coming person is worthy of becoming its master or not.
At the same time, the crystal balanced the bending of space and time of this landscape. It might be because the crystal’s true body is located here. In this landscape, the crystal acted like a stabilizing force, making sure that the fabric of space and time did not get more messed up. Otherwise, because of its own nature where Gravity bends time and space to the point of causing everything to become extremely chaotic, it might not be able to stay in one place and result in the formation of a black hole and end up being sucked inside.
The crystal’s amazing power over gravity helps it keep the area around it stable. It made sure that the basic rules of space and time stayed normal around it, even with its incredibly strong gravity.
Ye Xiao was amazed to learn these things. He also felt that this might be the reason why such a strange situation occurred.
Now that Ye Xiao thought about it, back in the Heavens, every Law had a rank. They were divided into Basic Laws, Unique Laws, and Supreme Laws.
Law of Time, Space, Creation, and Destruction were the four Supreme Laws.
However, there was also one Law that was not put in any category. It was the Law of Gravity. It was a very strange law that had the power to affect the four supreme laws, mainly Space and Time.
Ye Xiao breathed deeply and continued his journey.
Because of an extremely high level of gravity, his demonic body also started cracking.
Fortunately, it was Ye Xiao who had several cards in his sleeves. He could rapidly use [Life Recovery] ability. And if the situation becomes worse, he also has [Morning Brilliance Dew] in his possession to help him recover all the injuries.
Another three months passed and Ye Xiao was now only 100 meters away from the Gravity Source Crystal.
However, by now, his entire body was filled with cracks. The gravity has already increased to the point where it takes days for Ye Xiao to just take a single step forward.
It was 500 times gravity now.
If not for the [Morning Brilliance Dew], Ye Xiao was afraid that he would not be able to sustain himself till now.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and finally transformed into Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle. As a turtle, his defense was absolute. No one could say their defense is stronger when it comes to the Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle.
Ye Xiao became even taller than a mountain after transforming into an Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle.
The Gravity Source Crystal was just a hundred meters away from him.
As an Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle, it would have only taken Ye Xiao one step and he could have crossed this little distance.
Unfortunately, reality always punches people in the face.
The same was true for Ye Xiao as well.
Even an Endless Blade Oceanic Turtle, Ye Xiao was walking the step of a worm. This was not a step at all. He was simply pushing his huge body forward forcefully, relying on his absolute defense.
It was very slow, and it actually took another month for Ye Xiao to arrive in front of the Gravity Source Crystal.
“Just seven steps, and I’ll be there!”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath as he fanatically looked at the Gravity Source Crystal.
Fortunately, his turtle body was able to withstand 500 times gravity.
It could be said that Ye Xiao suffered greatly in order to obtain the Rule Source Crystal in front of him.
In fact, Ye Xiao has a feeling that acquiring only this Gravity Source Crystal is exceptionally challenging. If it were any other Source Crystals, including Space and Time Source Crystals, it would not be as arduous to obtain them.
…..
While Ye Xiao was only seven steps away from the Gravity Source Crystal, he was unaware that someone was watching him from afar.
Queen was sitting on top of a throne inside a castle. This castle was actually the Ruling Building of the King of Spiritas Race.
Her eyes were closed and no one could tell whether she was awake or not.
However, in reality, she was actually keeping a close eye on Ye Xiao’s every move. She has been watching Ye Xiao from the moment she sent him back to the Land of Blue Valley. It is because not much time was left.
A great danger almost infiltrated this Chaos, but she kicked him out.
Even now, those “dangers” are trying to break the final barrier located at the End of the Void. As long as that barrier is broken, this Chaos will truly fall into chaos.
So, she had no choice but to speed up Ye Xiao’s progress if the situation became worse.
As Ye Xiao had thought, Gravity Source Crystal is a special case among all the Rule Source Crystals.
Queen knew this. She could not help but mutter with some worry in her heart, “These final seven steps are going to break him apart if his will is not strong enough.”
