Chapter 983 Chapter 983: Leaving The Heavens
Queen gave Ye Xiao much information about the Second World. At the same time, she also gave him about the current most powerful being in the Second World, Ye Zhiqui, another King Realm expert whose strength is in no way inferior to that of an Ancient G.o.d.
After the exchange of many pieces of information, Ye Xiao finally entered the replica of Nine Story PaG.o.da and went directly to the Ninth Floor.
On the Ninth Floor, there was nothing, the entire floor was vacant. But on the ground, at the center of the floor, an altar could be seen. There were some strange runes and runic lines carved on the altar, and these runes and runic lines were glowing with silvery white light, illuminating the s.p.a.ce inside the Ninth Floor.
“This is the pa.s.sage I created. You can stand on it and it will connect you to the Second Universe.” Queen also arrived and started speaking again when she saw Ye Xiao observing the altar. She spoke: “Remember, you might encounter some danger on your way to the Second Universe since the pa.s.sage is not perfect, but I guarantee that the danger will definitely not harm your life.”
“The moment you’ll stand on top of the altar, your appearance and aura will start to change, so that it can deceive the eyes of the Second Universe.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head and directly stepped on the altar, and the next instant, he suddenly felt a surge of familiar yet foreign energy entering his body.
And then his body started suddenly changing at a speed visible to the eye. And very soon, Ye Xiao turned into an old man who seemed to have lost all his vitality. Moreover, a layer of aura of decay appeared on his body.
But Ye Xiao knew all of this is just what seemed to appear on his body. But in reality, his vitality was as powerful as ever.
At this moment, Queen again said: “As you’ll cultivate the Second Life Frost Transformation, your appearance will start to change slowly. So you don’t have to worry about these meaningless things.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head and then said: “Then… Let’s meet in the Second Universe!”
Queen shook her head at this, saying: “No, I have spent too much time in the Second Universe. A great World Epoch is approaching the Heavens. Those Ancestral Dragons have also regained their freedom. And according to the divination of Heavenly Dao, they will try to steal the Source of Heavens.”
“I have to stay guard and ready to stop those dragons before they do such atrocity.”
Ye Xiao did not say anything after that. He nodded at Queen in response.
Then Queen waved her hand and chanted some kind of incantation, causing a pillar of light to suddenly shot out from the altar, completely hiding Ye Xiao within. But magically, this pillar of light soon disappeared, and there was no longer anyone standing on the altar.
“I’ve finally left the Heavens!”
Ye Xiao sighed as he turned around and saw the cosmic membrane wrap around the Heavens like an egg.
The Cosmic Membrane emitted a faint milky white light. It was as bright as a star in the endless dark starry sky.
Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at the darkness of the starry sky. The boundless darkness was like a man-eating ancient beast waiting in front of him.
The sense of position in the starry sky was very weak. As soon as he left the Heavens, Ye Xiao was somewhat confused.
Actually, when the Pillar of Light appeared, Ye Xiao suddenly felt himself connecting with a long, dark, but an invisible tunnel. And some kind of mysterious power pulled him, making him leave the Heavens.
“Is this the Chaos?” Ye Xiao muttered and then shook his head. It is because he didn’t have the same feeling as he did when he arrived in Chaos previously.
“No, this is inside the dark tunnel that connects to the Second Universe. And the Cosmic Membrane that I’m seeing is not actually the Cosmic Membrane protecting the Heavens, but it is that Altard!”
The next instant, Ye Xiao immediately understood everything.
At this moment, the altar on the Ninth Floor suddenly rumbled. Ye Xiao turned his head and saw that the milky-white membrane-like altar was covered by a large amount of b.l.o.o.d.y energy. An unparalleled aura spread across the entire tunnel.
Even though Ye Xiao had already flown for some distance, he still felt terrified.
“What happened? Is this the danger that Queen talked about before?” Ye Xiao was shocked.
It had only been a short while since he flew out. But he could still feel the danger.
…..
The Forgotten Continent, the blood-red airflow, swallowed up the membrane. The Martial Cultivators in the continent watched in horror as the sky turned blood red. An aura that made them suffocate pressed down from the heavens.
Suddenly, the b.l.o.o.d.y energy formed into a b.l.o.o.d.y palm that expanded toward him, wanting to catch him.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath. The surging aura made it extremely difficult for Ye Xiao to take a deep breath for some reason. He was very sure that he would die before this palm could even reach him.
He had no chance of resisting this palm.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?” Ye Xiao could not help but shout: “Didn’t Queen tell me before that my life won’t be in danger?”
“She was right. Your life is not in danger!”
As Ye Xiao was still exclaiming, he suddenly heard Domineering G.o.d Crystal’s voice.
“What?” Ye Xiao was stratled.
“I can feel the breath of Life Sucking Monster. That thing is Life Sucking Monster that always wanders in the void. The previous altar must have been created using the body of Life Sucking Monster, which connects the void between the Ninth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da’s replica to someplace in the Second Universe.”
“Although the Life Sucking Monster is killed, its will is still there. If you are using the altar made of its body, you have to sacrifice a few hundred or maybe even a few thousand years of lifespan. Only then would you safely reach the Second Universe!”
“To be able to think of using the Life Sucking Monster’s body, who wanders in the void, to create an altar that connects the void between two different planes, that Queen of Plants is really a genius and unfathomable. Even in the Chaos, I have never seen a being like her!”
Ye Xiao was stunned. He was in a trance and was in no mood to praise the genius mind of Queen or appreciate her work.
He only saw the blood-red palm appearing above his head, and pausing for a moment.
In the next instant, Ye Xiao could see white mist-like fog being sucked out of his body by the blood-red palm.
Ye Xiao could clearly sense that his life force was rapidly fading away.
Ten years… Fifty years… A hundred years… Two hundred years… Four hundred years… Nine hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, several hundred years of life force were consumed just like that.
However, the blood-red palm was still not repelled. It only maintained a balance.
When a total of one thousand and one hundred years of life force was sucked out of Ye Xiao’s body, the blood-red palm finally showed signs of collapsing. And after some moment, it finally turned into countless fragments of blood-red light and went back to the altar.
“So… Queen was talking about this danger!” Ye Xiao took a deep breath and muttered. Then he suddenly wanted to curse out loud. It is because if he knew earlier, he would not have chosen to visit the Second Universe.
“Couldn’t she have told me this earlier?” Finally, Ye Xiao sighed and could only blame Queen.
“Don’t worry, the benefit of awakening Martial Spirit is not low. It is worth the amount of life force you have sacrificed.”
Ye Xiao was still blaming Queen when he again heard Domineering G.o.d Crystal’s voice. It continued to say: “Anyway, you can recover the amount of lifeforce sucked out of your body by using the ability Life Recovery. So why do you blame the person who wanted to help you with all her heart?”
Ye Xiao had no way to explain how he was feeling. He really felt complicated right now.
Anyway, the Domineering G.o.d Crystal was right. He could recover his life force by using the Life Recovery ability. There is nothing much to worry about.
Suddenly, he noticed a point of light flashing from a distance. He frowned and focused his gaze, and soon noticed an oval-shaped, milky-white cosmic membrane in front of him. It was the same as he saw after leaving the Ninth Floor.
“That… Is that a place where the altar is made in the Second Universe?”
“Let’s go!”
Ye Xiao was overjoyed. Finally, he was about to land inside the Second Universe without letting it discover his presence, and without letting the Heavens know about his disappearance.
