Chapter 997 Chapter 997: Martial Spirit: Inferno Thunderbird
Ye Xiao arrived at a secluded place deep inside a vast forest. This place was covered in meters-tall long bushes and was completely hidden from the outside world.
Instead of removing the bushes, Ye Xiao used his teleportation ability to directly appear in the middle, then he sat down cross-legged and took a deep breath, ready to swallow the drop of Soul Essence.
Ye Xiao took out the drop of Soul Essence and swallowed it. The next instant, a storm-like soul force poured into Ye Xiao’s Divine Sea. The newly appeared Soul Force was too violent, but Ye Xiao was still able to control it with slight difficulties.
Now, he had to make choices.
Ye Xiao didn’t take long to decide though. He decided to evolve his Soul again, and at the same time, see what kind of change this drop of Soul Essence will bring to his Martial Soul.
“Roar!”
A loud roar echoed in the surroundings and a gush of white fog slowly flew out from Ye Xiao’s body and gathered above his head. If one looks carefully, one would be able to see the hint of golden light flashing in the white fog.
Slowly, the outline of some kind of huge golden bird appeared in the middle of the fog.
Ye Xiao raised his head and looked above. He saw a huge golden bird floating above his head. His eyesight was not affected by the white fog in the slightest. He could clearly see what this Golden Bird looks like.
This huge golden bird had a golden flaming crown on its head. Its pair of eyes were also golden and a hint of intelligence could be seen in its eyes. Its pair of golden wings were also burning with golden flames, but other than flames, golden lightning could be seen flashing constantly around its entire body.
Not only this, the bird’s golden feathers had their own shine and uniqueness. Every single one of these feathers was capable of killing G.o.ds, for they contains a kind of poison even G.o.ds could not withstand.
This was Ye Xiao’s Martial Spirit, a Golden Inferno Thunderbird.
It is a known fact that just like Phoenixes, Thunderbirds are also legendary beasts. They are no less powerful than Phoenixes and Dragons. In fact, they could even kill legendary beasts like dragons.
And Ye Xiao’s Martial Spirit was the rarest Golden Inferno Thunderbird, a legendary beast that could control and manipulate fire and thunder at the same time, not to mention the poison attributes in its golden feathers.
Ye Xiao had a few questions regarding his Martial Spirit. It is because he was not from the Second Universe, and was able to awaken the Martial Spirit because he was cultivating Second Life Frost Transformation given by Queen.
And according to Queen, he would be able to awaken an Ice-attributed Martial Spirit after cultivating this technique.
But the Martial Spirit he awakened had three attributes; thunder, fire, and poison. But it does not have an Ice attribute.
This caused Ye Xiao to be slightly confused.
Anyway, because of the powerful Soul Essence, the Golden Inferno Thunderbird started evolving.
Ye Xiao has no idea how long the evolution process continued, but when his Martial Spirit evolved completely, he was surprised to see the wist of purple lightning and purple feathers mixed in the Thunderbird’s golden body.
Yes, it has changed. Ye Xiao has no idea what to call this bird. It still has all attributes of Golden Inferno Thunderbird, but it was no longer pure Golden Inferno Thunderbird.
Many golden and purple strands of lightning could be seen flashing around its huge body. Its feathers had mixes of golden and purple. Only the golden fire didn’t change. Its eyes also changed colour from golden to purple though.
It seemed that its poison attribute has increased by a certain margin, and its destructive power has become more violent.
“Let’s not call you ‘Golden’ then. From now on, I’ll call you Inferno Thunderbird. And your poison abilities will be your most powerful trump card from now on!”
“Roar!”
As if to respond to Ye Xiao, the Inferno Thunderbird roared loudly. Its roars echoed in the sky and spread far wide.
Ye Xiao kept the Inferno Thunderbird back and focused his attention on his Divine Sea, and was shocked to discover that his Divine Soul has already evolved from Ancient Divine Soul to Ancient Divine Emperor Soul once again.
But even so, the effect of that drop of Soul Essence had yet to die.
According to the Domineering G.o.d Crystal, he could make use of the drop of Soul Essence and comprehend many laws or Profound Meanings of his comprehended laws at will.
But currently, he was not in the Heavens. It means he could no longer continue to comprehend laws or Profound Meanings.
“I made a mistake!”
Ye Xiao immediately realized how big of a mistake he made.
He no longer hesitated and continuously used his Teleportation ability to return to the Fan Village. He took a look around before leaving for the Shadow Forest.
He arrived at the same place where he appeared after leaving the Heavens, and fell unconscious.
Ye Xiao had once come to this place and discovered the same altar with runic lines buried a meter deep inside the ground.
Ye Xiao hurriedly stood up at the place where the runic alter was buried. Then a powerful force exploded out from his body, immediately removing the ground covering the altar.
According to Queen, as long as Ye Xiao would stand on the altar, she would be able to sense him. Then she will activate the runes on the altar, and he would be able to return.
As expected, not long after he stood on the altar, the runes started shining, and the next instant, a pillar of white light exploded and shot toward the sky.
When the pillar of white light disappeared, Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Xiao’s main purpose for coming to the Second World was to awaken his Martial Spirit, he did not come here to explore the Second Universe or stay here to cultivate.
He wanted to go back as soon as he awakened his Martial Spirit, but stopped because of Domineering G.o.d Crystal’s reminder.
Now that his purpose of stopping was completed, he no longer had the mood to stay here.
He knows that he doesn’t have much time left. Heavens doesn’t have much time left.
Supreme Ancient Devil was on his way to Heavens.
He has to return and become stronger as soon as possible. At the same time, he has to fulfill his promise to the Mysterious Lady. He had to spend time with his women. He had many things to do.
…..
Ye Xiao once again appeared on the Ninth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da’s replica created by Queen.
Taking a deep breath, he went outside the replica of Nine Story PaG.o.da and found Queen waiting for him there.
When she saw Ye Xiao coming out, a smile blossomed on her beautiful face. She looked at Ye Xiao and immediately saw through his cultivation base.
“So, you have only cultivated to the Late Stage of Worldly Immortal Realm!” Queen muttered in a low voice, loud enough for Ye Xiao to hear.
Ye Xiao nodded and replied: “No matter how powerful I can become in the Second Universe, it will not be of much use inside Heavens. No matter what, I was born in Heavens, and am from Heavens. I still feel connected to Heavens even though I know I have to go against it one day.”
When Ye Xiao said this, Queen was surprised at first before revealing a confused expression. She asked: “What do you mean?”
“Why do you have to go against the Heavens?”
“Your connection and relation with Nine Ancestral Dragons and the Second Universe have completely ended. Although you now have a cultivation base of the Second Universe, you still have nothing to do with the Second Universe.”
“There is no point in going against the Heavens. Why do you still want to fight the Heavens?”
Ye Xiao shook his head upon hearing this and smiled bitterly, then he replied: “It is not that I want to go against the Heavens. It is just that I have to go against it one day, for I want to leave the Heavens and Heavens will never let me leave its boundary.”
Queen was deeply shocked. She never thought that Ye Xiao’s main goal was to leave the Heavens.
But where does he want to go after leaving the Heavens?
Although Queen is very powerful and has been in existence since the birth of the Heavens, but even she has no idea about Chaos. All she know was that other than the Heavens, there exists some other universes in the endless darkness outside the Heavens.
As for Chaos, she has never heard of it.
Ye Xiao didn’t mind telling her about Chaos, and after he was done with it, a bright light shone in Queen’s eyes. She looked at him and said: “As you said before, Heavens will never let a person leave its boundary…”
