Chapter 597: Unable To Devour
Looking at the Soul Devouring Worms, Ye Xiao immediately understood why the two demons he fought previously did not have souls but still could chat with him. It must be through these Soul Devouring Worms that they were being controlled.
Previously, he targeted the demons to destroy their soul, not the Soul Devouring Worm. Because of this, his Soul Destruction ability didn"t work on them.
Ye Xiao looked at the person who secretly put the Soul Devouring Worm on the neck of three demonic cultivators. That demon was the strongest among all the demons present here. He was at the Ninth Stage of Martial Saint Realm, only one step away from advancing to Demon Foundation Realm.
Ye Xiao took advantage of the opportunity and immediately used "Soul Destruction" continuously to destroy the souls of as many demons as he could.
Surprisingly, other than the demon who put the Soul Devouring Worm on the neck of three demonic cultivators, all the demons and demonic cultivators immediately fell down to the ground lifelessly. Ye Xiao had also killed the Soul Devouring Worm along with them.
Of course, his Soul Destruction ability didn"t work on the demons whose souls were already devoured. Ye Xiao first located the Soul Devouring Worm using his Divine Sense within their bodies before using the Soul Destruction again, targeting those Soul Devouring Worms, killing everyone in an instant.
Only one demon was now left who was shocked beyond belief seeing all of his puppets and companion die instantly. He could not understand what was going on and instantly started checking them.
This demon didn"t even experience pain when Ye Xiao used the Soul Destruction on him, proving that this Demon"s soul was much stronger than his.
As Ye Xiao was about to step out and kill that demon also, he suddenly felt spatial fluctuation. He immediately understood that the demon who could hide in a different dimension was about to appear.
He stopped and started waiting. Not long after, he felt heavy fluctuation in the s.p.a.ce in front of the only alive demon, and in the next moment, an octopus-like demon appeared. This demon did have its upper body just like any other demon, but his lower body was that of an octopus.
Ye Xiao frowned. This demon was only at the Ninth Stage of Martial Emperor Realm. Ye Xiao could kill this demon instantly but he did not do so. It is because he wanted to use Soul Search in this demon to search for s.p.a.ce-related skills and learn them. This way, he would have the ability to hide in a different dimension and could still see and hear everything in the original dimension.
Because of this, Ye Xiao did not plan to target this demon for the time being.
Now, all Ye Xiao wanted to do was to kill the Peak Martial Saint Realm demon first, but his soul abilities were useless against him. So, all Ye Xiao could do is to rely on poisons to kill him.
Although the demon"s soul was much stronger than his, his true cultivation was sealed and could not be used in the Well Of h.e.l.l. Right now, he only had a temporary cultivation base just like others, and it was at the Peak Seventh Stage of Mortal Realm.
It did not take Ye Xiao any effort to turn the blood flowing within the demon"s body into poisonous blood, causing the demon"s complexion to change immediately. At the same time, his body"s colour also started paling.
"Senior Bagua, what happened to you?"
The demon who could use the s.p.a.ce-type skill immediately asked when he saw felt something was wrong with the demon in front of him.
Before the demon could reply, he immediately fell backward, dying on the spot. His entire body turned black and black blood started flowing out from his mouth.
"Poison!"
The left demon could instantly say that the demon called Bagua was poisoned by someone. The black blood that flowed out from Bagua"s mouth was giving off a foul smell.
Looking at so many dead demons in front of him, this demon was also terrified. Now, he wanted nothing more than to hide immediately in the different dimensions to be safe. But suddenly, he felt a cold chill running down his spines.
Without wasting any time, the demon started casting his s.p.a.ce-type skill, but suddenly, he froze on the spot and did not move.
Ye Xiao actually used Soul Paralysis to paralyze the soul of the demon, causing him to freeze on the spot.
After that, Ye Xiao walked out and arrived in front of the demon before putting his hand on the demon"s head. Instantly, the demon"s entire life history started surfacing in front of Ye Xiao"s eyes.
From the memories of this demon, Ye Xiao got to know everything that happened here was actually the plot of the Blood Demon Sect. And in this plot, many other demon sects were partic.i.p.ating. He also got to know that the Blood Devil Spear was discovered by the Demon Master a hundred thousand years ago, and at that time, he also discovered the method to take away the spear.
The method was to let the Blood Devil Spear drink the Blood Essence of countless beings. After completing its hunger, the spirit of the Blood Devil Spear will be awakened and at that time, the Demon Master was planning to make the Blood Devil Spear recognize him as its master.
It"s been a hundred thousand years from when the Demon Master was killing many people and sending their blood essence here. He was also the one who made the Blood Pool on top of the altar using a secret technique.
He also got to know that after completely absorbing the Blood Essence within the Blood Pool, the spirit of Blood Devil Spear will be awakened. Now, the Blood Devil Spear no longer needed to drink more blood essence.
The plot that Demon Master has created was destroyed by Ye Xiao the moment he arrived here. Not only this, but he had also taken away the Blood Devil Spear.
From the memories of the demon, Ye Xiao found out that he was born with the ability to hide in a different s.p.a.ce. It was an innate ability and he had not learned it.
Ye Xiao was surprised when he saw this. Now, there was only one option left for him through which he could make this innate skill his.
Ye Xiao tried to use the Devouring Law to devour this Innate Skill, unfortunately, nothing happened. He failed to devour it.
Ye Xiao tried many times but every time, the result was the same.
"Why?"
Ye Xiao could not understand why he could not devour the Innate Skill? He was even able to devour the Wood Blossom Bloodline, why was he not able to devour the Innate Skill?
Could it be that he could not devour the Innate Skill because there were some limitations; such as what he could devour and what he could not?
But if this really was the case, then the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon would not be called a dragon who could devour anything and everything, even the Heavens!
There must be some other reasons why he could not devour the Innate Skill of the demon!
Ye Xiao sighed. Since he could not devour the Innate Skill of the demon, trying more would be only a waste of time. Ye Xiao let go of the demon and the demon fell to the ground lifelessly.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao looked at the demon"s corpse with unwillingness. He still could not accept the fact that he could not devour the demon"s Innate Skill.
Ye Xiao immediately entered the Universe in his Divine Sea and went to look for Queen, but he failed to look for her. It was as if she had disappeared somewhere.
He had already become one with the Blood Slaughter Abyssal Dragon, so right now, there was no dragon present.
After all, he had yet to cultivate the Sixth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
Ye Xiao searched for Queen for some time but failed to find her. With a sad face, he left the Universe and returned to the place he was standing at before.
With a flick of his finger, Ye Xiao threw the Sun Fire Soul and burned the corpses of all the demons. Now, there was nothing left for him to do in this Dark Canyon.
He left the canyon and once again continued his journey.
Now, he wanted to reach the depth of the Well Of h.e.l.l as soon as possible. But he was surprised to find the deeper he went, the stronger the demonic beast he encountered.
About three days later, Ye Xiao actually came across a demonic beast at the Immortal Foundation Stage.
After killing this Demonic Beast, Ye Xiao"s cultivation finally broke through to the Ninth Stage of Martial Saint Realm.
He was not even fighting with any demonic beast. The moment he encountered one, he would destroy their soul to kill them.
Killing an Immortal Levelled Demonic Beast was as easy as snapping the fingers.
