Chapter 967 Chapter 967: Crystal Worms
Ye Xiao arrived in front of the first huge room and looked at the two stone guards holding the stone spears in their hands. They were huge and very lifelike.
Ye Xiao started taking small steps toward the door. When he was just three steps away from the door, the stone statues suddenly opened their eyes.
Ye Xiao had been very alert from the very beginning. As he had expected, the moment he arrived in front of the door, the stone statues reacted and opened their eyes. But before they could attack, he made his attack.
“White Fist Annihilation!”
“BOOM!”
“Bang!”
Just one fist and the two guards were destroyed instantly. It has to be known that Ye Xiao’s current strength has already surpa.s.sed any Ancient G.o.d. Even the strongest expert in the Heavenly Demon Race was just an Ancient G.o.d, let alone these guards.
How could mere guards be Ye Xiao’s match, mainly when he made his move before his enemies could even react?
Ye Xiao estimated that these guards’ strength should be equal to the newly advanced Ancient G.o.d. They are powerful, but not powerful enough to threaten Ye Xiao.
When the two stone guards were destroyed, grey fragments of light flew out from their remains and fused with the door. Then the door started opening slowly while producing a creaking sound.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
Ye Xiao entered the room and found that this room was more like an alchemy room. There was an alchemy furnace fixed in the middle of the room. This alchemy furnace was huge and had a total of three holes in them.
There was a formation laid on the ground where the alchemy furnace stood.
Ye Xiao looked at the formation and immediately understood what function this formation has. With this formation around, even if a pill is to stay inside the furnace for eternity, that pill will never be wasted with time.
In this huge room, there was only this furnace. And this furnace was very eye-catching.
Ye Xiao soon arrived in front of the furnace and opened its lid. Immediately, dense fog flew out from the furnace, and medicinal fragrance spread everywhere in the room. Ye Xiao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, inhaled the medicinal fragrance in the air, and muttered: “What kind of pill is this? I have no information of this pill even in the memories of Ancient Pill G.o.d!”
The ancient Pill G.o.d was someone who appeared in the Primordial Era. In fact, the Ancient Pill G.o.d, the Ancient Formation G.o.d, and the Ancient G.o.d of Weapon Refinement, all were the existences in the Primordial Era.
Even before the Primordial Era ended, they disappeared without leaving behind a trace.
Anyway, so many eras have pa.s.sed till then. It is not strange for many new pill recipes to appear.
And this pill must be one of the pills that appeared after the disappearance of three Ancient G.o.ds.
Ye Xiao then looked inside the furnace, only to discover thousands of tiny worms squirming inside the furnace. The strange thing about them was that these worms were actually emitting medicinal fragrances.
“What is going on?” Ye Xiao was shocked, he didn’t know what is going on.
These worms seemed like crystal worms, made of crystals that would shatter into many pieces upon the slightest carelessness.
Ye Xiao thought of something and used his Divine Sense to look at them. Suddenly, those crystal worms enlarged in his vision and became the size of a fist.
At this time, Ye Xiao discovered that each crystal worm was actually divided into two layers. Its interior was a circular structure while its exterior was covered by a crystalline sh.e.l.l acting as a layer of skin or armor that protected the interior.
The crystals were squirming about unceasingly, and because of that, even though they were very crystal-like, they were making Ye Xiao feel creepy.
These crystal worms were truly alive. Moreover, they seemed to be some kind of medicinal pill. Ye Xiao evaluated them like this because of the dense medicinal fragrance coming from their bodies.
After more careful observation, Ye Xiao discovered that the movements of the crystal worms weren’t random; there was responsiveness to them. The crystal worms were moving unceasingly, but they would never come in contact with each other and would intentionally evade the others. This type of weak yet extremely clear fluctuations of energy couldn’t be faked.
A strange thought suddenly arose in Ye Xiao’s heart. He used his True Essence to form a very small spear, like a thorn, as he gently p.r.i.c.ked a crystal worm.
Shua!
However, the crystal worm suddenly moved, expanding in size. The corners of the crystal elongated upward, like a hedgehog bristling its quills.
Ye Xiao also felt some kind of emotion from this worm. Upon closer inspection, it seemed more like a sense of rage. Suddenly, that crystal worm seemed to have become violent. And upon sensing the anger of their brethren, the other crystal worms also started to move in tandem.
A moment later, a chaotic surge of intents shot over. At the start, Ye Xiao didn’t mind it. But a moment later, Ye Xiao felt that they were gathering together. Now, they were actually touching each other bodies. In fact, it seemed more like they were stacked upon one other continuously.
Not long after, they took the shape of a huge pill. This pill was about a fist-sized pill, and it was actually made of countless living crystal worms. After they took the shape of a pill, the pill suddenly shot out something that tries to pierce into Ye Xiao’s skin.
Ye Xiao was shocked to discover that the pill attacked him with his own attack.
Yes!
Previously, Ye Xiao attacked them with a very small spear, and this pill return his attack with tripled strength.
But this attack was not enough to do any harm to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao then erupted with his powerful aura and sealed the s.p.a.ce, fearing that this pill might try to escape. After all, this was a mysterious pill that Ye Xiao has never seen before. And this pill actually formed from thousands of tiny, living, crystal worms.
After sealing the s.p.a.ce, Ye Xiao immediately activated the Eyes of Insight and looked at the pill. The moment he looked at the pill with his Eyes of Insight, the pill glowed and a faint flow of information actually entered into his mind, showing him some images and sounds, bringing him into an illusion-scape.
Right now, an ancient, mysterious scroll image appeared before Ye Xiao.
A voice akin to the toiling of a giant golden bell that spanned across the river of time reverberated in his ears.
“Heavenly Dao is not like what people imagined it to be. It is very selfish. If not for strengthening its own Dao and increasing its own strength, the Heavenly Dao would have never given any lifeform permission to comprehend even a single law.”
“Let’s talk about alchemy. After years of research, we have finally discovered a method to create a kind of pill that could break the balance of the Heavens and cause the Heavens to fall into a world-destroying war. This is a pill that has surpa.s.sed the limit set by the Heavens. This is a pill that could help a person break the limit of Heavens and go beyond the Ancient G.o.d!”
This ancient voice seemed to be generated from the endless river of time, spanning through millions of years before reverberating in his ears.
Ye Xiao saw an unbelievable scene. It was as though his body was brought into a sea of fire; flames blazed brilliantly all around him.
However, he didn’t sense the heat. Evidently, this was just an illusion.
Ye Xiao’s perspective seemed to be in a fixed state that couldn’t be changed. However, the scenes before his eyes seemed too real, with the picture flowing accordingly to the shifting of his vision.
He was somehow inside the flame with iron walls around him. The entire s.p.a.ce was in the shape of a sphere.
This appears to be… The alchemical furnace!
Ye Xiao’s heart stirred. Are these the memories of that pill?
Ye Xiao sensed that there were three spherical holes all around the interior of this furnace. There were also palm-leaf fans sending gusts of violent winds into the furnace. It caused the wind to complement the fire, making it blaze even more intensely.
Ye Xiao only felt his vision floating, like his body was rising and falling inside the furnace. However, this was just an illusion created by memories; it wasn’t real. He also couldn’t feel the temperature; hence, he was not uncomfortable at all.
“A pill that could help a person surpa.s.s the limit of Heavens, going beyond the Ancient G.o.d Realm!”
“Isn’t it the Divine G.o.d Realm?”
Ye Xiao thought in his mind. He was really astonished to the extreme. He could not help but feel it unbelievable.
How could a single pill help someone break past the limit of the Heavens?
