Chapter 543: Black Heart
The more Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense continued downwards, the more shocked he became.
From the bodies of the dead, without exception, there was a line of blood that flowed out, gathering deep into the ground.
Ye Xiao continued to probe downwards. At this moment, his Divine Sense had already entered a distance of several thousand meters underground.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense began to become unusually heavy. It was as if countless layers of some unusual energy were sticking itself onto Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense.
This was caused by the great amount of resentment in the surroundings. All the living beings that were buried on the ground had extremely strong resentment before they died. These resentments gathered underground. Just by looking at it, one would be shocked to the core.
Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense appeared in this place. In the depths of the earth, it was as if something had sensed Ye Xiao"s existence.
Huala!
The boundless evil energy in the surroundings immediately rushed towards Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense.
Just sensing thick evil energy was enough to make one"s heart palpitate.
If one"s will wasn"t firm, it was very likely that it would be directly drowned out by the evil energy, until one"s mind became delirious.
Ye Xiao"s Soul Force immediately erupted. The powerful Soul"s power swept in all directions, wiping out all of the evil energy that had stacked to his Divine Sense. He used one of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon"s abilities, Soul Cleanse!
Ye Xiao did not stop there. Instead, he continued to probe downward and arrived at the depths of the earth.
A pitch-black heart suddenly appeared where the blood lines gathered.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
As the heart beat steadily, the surrounding evil energy began to surge. Even Ye Xiao felt an inexplicable pressure when he saw his heart.
Sensing Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense, the heart suddenly began to beat intensely.
Black blood flowed into the heart from the surrounding blood lines. Thick Evil Energy started floating around the heart.
Bang! Bang!
The surrounding soil began to tremble violently.
Ye Xiao looked at the black heart. In an instant, countless people, demons, and demonic beasts appeared in front of him. The scene of them being cruelly killed.
Ye Xiao"s eyes turned red as he tried to confront the overwhelming pressure that he felt when he saw countless living beings being killed one after another. Ye Xiao felt as if he had spent millions of years looking at the humans, demons, and demonic beasts being killed by the heart.
His soul suddenly stirred on its own and Ye Xiao came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and began gasping for breaths.
If his soul wouldn"t have stirred on its own, Ye Xiao would have lost himself in the scene he was seeing a few moments ago.
The screams of those creatures before their deaths were still vivid in his mind. This was the last remnant of the will left behind by all the living beings who had been harmed by the mastermind.
"So it turns out that all of this was done by you."
After a short while, when Ye Xiao calmed down, he muttered in a deep voice, "Heart of the Demon Monarch!"
Sensing that Ye Xiao had escaped its binding, the heart once again beat heavily, and a giant hand of blood energy condensed above the black heart as it grabbed at Ye Xiao.
It seemed like it wanted to kill Ye Xiao directly!
However, just as he was about to attack, the Ancient Blade suddenly flew into the ground on its own accord. In an instant, it broke through a layer of dirt that was thousands of meters high and stabbed the black heart.
This attack completely exceeded the expectations of the black heart. Faintly, a shrill cry erupted from the black heart.
Shortly after, rolling black blood burst out from the wound and sprayed in all directions.
The Ancient Blade was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, finding enough nutrients, and starting to devour crazily. The black heart"s blood energy instantly began to weaken.
"It can actually devour the blood from the Heart of Demon Monarch to recover and strengthen, how amusing!" Ye Xiao was surprised at first when the Ancient Blade took action on its own. But after that, he started watching quietly from the side.
The Ancient Blade started to devour crazily. On the surface of the blade, lines of blood-red lines appeared.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
As the black heart was attacked, the ground of the entire small town began to tremble violently.
"What"s going on outside?"
"Quick, everyone, activate the concealment array. Don"t let the Evil Spirits outside discover us!"
Guo Shuman and the others quickly hid the house in case of any accidents.
At the same time, the Ancient Blade drank the Heart"s blood and finally erupted with tyrannical strength.
The black heart seemed to have felt a great threat from the Ancient Blade. Immediately a black glow appeared on its surface, trying to block the Ancient Blade"s crazed devouring.
The Ancient Blade was not to be outdone. Sensing the Heart"s resistance, its devouring intent became even stronger.
It increased its devouring force and suddenly, even the blood energy that came from the surrounding corpses started continuously being absorbed by the Ancient Blade.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Black Heart trembled violently. Behind the Black Heart, a black skull totem appeared.
In an instant, an incomparably vast red light shone brightly on the ground, sweeping away the darkness with red in the blink of an eye.
Within this red light, there seemed to be an indescribable power hidden. It was as if a G.o.d was looking down on all mortals. It made people unable to think of resisting at all.
The Ancient Blade also erupted with intense killing intents. This kind of killing intent even gave a fright to Ye Xiao. He could not help but tremble for a few seconds when he felt this vast killing intent.
This killing intent was enough to cause people to think that they were facing countless armies of extremely powerful martial artists with bloodl.u.s.t.
Ye Xiao had never felt this kind of killing intent before. The killing intent was so strong that it started materializing into some kind of black monster.
However, the Ancient Blade was badly damaged. It was still not at its peak yet. It could be said that the Ancient Blade could not even show 20% of its original strength. Maybe, it was because of this that the materialization of killing intent was not complete.
Clang!
"BOOM!"
The Ancient Blade and the red light from the Black Heart collided fiercely together, causing the ground to tremble violently. Many of the houses in the small town crumbled apart because of the earthquake. Cracks appeared on the ground, trees fell down, the mountain crumbled... Many scenes of destruction appeared just because of this one collision between two powerful ent.i.ties.
With a light sound, the Ancient Blade was deflected and the Black Heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Ye Xiao did not try to chase after it or find it. He knew that with his current strength, he could not confront the strength of Black Heart.
"Unfortunately, I"m still too weak." Ye Xiao silently kept the Ancient Blade and muttered.
At the same time, Ye Xiao retracted his Divine Sense back.
It was also at this time, all the disciples in the room leaned against the door as if they were facing a great enemy.
Just now, the ground suddenly trembled violently. Everyone thought that those Evil Spirits had discovered them and hurriedly concealed the entire room.
"Many of the Evil Spirits in the surroundings seem to have disappeared." Ji Yanran muttered.
She had the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes. Even though she had yet to step into the First Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes, she was still able to detect the changes in her surroundings.
Suddenly, a person outside the door said in surprise, "Those Evil Spirits have left!"
These disciples used the Spiritual Sense to observe their surroundings.
It was as if the trapped prisoners had suddenly been released from prison and could not wait to leave, everyone became extremely excited.
"As expected, they left!"
"Could it be related to the huge shock just now?"
Everyone was wild with joy. They had waited here for too long and could only enter and not leave.
Now that those Evil Spirits had left, they could naturally leave as well.
When Guo Shuman saw this scene, she said in a deep voice, "Get ready. We will immediately escape from this place."
All of them started leaving the room one by one. After they came out of the courtyard, they carefully looked at their surroundings. They were extremely cautious. They knew that they could not afford to let down their guards, not until they successfully left this evil small town.
Looking around they didn"t find any Evil Spirit.. Everyone became extremely happy. Now, they could leave this place!
