Chapter 57 Ch 57: SURVIVED
The middle-aged man stood up and coughed a few times before looking at Ye Xiao deeply. It was the first time he truly looked at Ye Xiao with curiosity.
It could not be helped, after all, a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior like him suffered from an Early Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man now wanted to know about Ye Xiao. This entire place was his domain. With the help of Divine Inscriptions, he had already created an impenetrable wall connecting four directions, covering tens of thousands of miles in radius.
Without his permission, not even a drop of liquid could enter this place, but Ye Xiao not only entered his domain but also stayed here for more than three years. At the same time, Alex destroyed all the human puppets that he painfully created over the years, at the same time, he also destroyed his hard work of thousands of years by freeing the Bloodthirsty Bat King, resulting in the escape of Bat King.
If not for Ye Xiao, in the next ten years at most, his plan would have succeeded. At that time, he could have gone through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and become a Chaos Spirit Saint. And with the successful execution of his plan, he could have also gotten rid of his enemies waiting outside the impenetrable wall who are eyeing him like hyenas, ready to devour him at any time.
But Ye Xiao destroyed everything.
How could he not hate Ye Xiao?
He hated Ye Xiao. That's why he wanted to turn Ye Xiao into Human Puppet while keeping his soul imprisoned in his own body, torturing him for eternity.
But Ye Xiao disappeared three years ago. Now that he appeared, he was already an Early Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior. He also destroyed all the Human and Bird Puppets. At the same time, he has some special ability that affects a person's soul deeply.
These things caught his attention. He could not help but want to know Ye Xiao more.
"Ye Xiao!"
Ye Xiao's answer was simple. He told the middle-aged man his name, and then muttered: "Heavenly Demon Transformation!"
"Roar!"
Ye Xiao roared loudly and started transforming.
Very soon, a huge 30 meters tall demon was standing opposite to the middle-aged man. This demon had red eyes and the fiendish aura rising from his body have an invisible pressure on the surroundings, deeply affecting everything in thousands of meters of land.
At the same time, Ye Xiao's cultivation rose from the Early Stage of Chaos Dust Realm to the Late Stage of Chaos Dust Realm.
Ye Xiao then darted a look at the middle-aged man with his red eyes, causing the middle-aged man to shiver in fear subconsciously. His body trembled and he took a step back.
Even though the middle-aged man was a Late Stage Chaos Spirt Realm warrior, he actually felt being looked at by a mountain-tall monster with boundless strength, causing him to see his death in front of his eyes.
Of course, everything was just an illusion he felt.
But this illusion was enough to prove Ye Xiao's current strength that has risen sharply after transforming into a Heavenly Demon. And in front of this Heavenly Demon, even a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior was nothing.
"Damn it. How can I be afraid of a mere demon!"
"Ahhh..."
When the middle-aged man realized what just happened, hatred flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and again looked at the huge demon.
Now, in his eyes, Ye Xiao was never a human to begin with. He was always a demon. It is just that, he was fooling him for three years by staying taking a human's appearance.
When the middle-aged man thought like this. he could not help but roar loudly. At the same time, he pounced at Ye Xiao with the intention of killing Ye Xiao immediately.
But how could killing Ye Xiao be this easy, mainly when Ye Xiao is in the form of a Heavenly Demon?
Ye Xiao punched out and collided with the middle-aged man's punch.
"Bang!"
Although the middle-aged man was like an ant in front of an elephant, his strength was still shocking. When both forces collided, a strong shockwave spread everywhere.
The middle-aged man actually forced Ye Xiao to step back.
And this was normal. After all, even after transforming into a Heavenly Demon, Ye Xiao was just a Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior, while the middle-aged man is a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
Unknown to Ye Xiao, if it was any other Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, he would have been sent flying from this punch. The middle-aged man's punch was weaker compared to other warriors of the same realm because he was not a pure warrior, he was a Divine Inscription master.
As a Divine Inscription Master, the middle-aged man's strength lies in Divine Inscriptions, not in battle combat.
Before fighting the middle-aged man, Ye Xiao had already destroyed all his puppets, thus making the middle-aged man helpless against Ye Xiao. If he wanted to fight against Ye Xiao with Divine Inscriptions, he needed some time to engrave inscriptions. But now that the battle between the two has already started, he no longer has time to engrave Divine Inscriptions.
"I calculated wrong!"
The middle-aged man soon understood that he was wrong to rashly take action against Ye Xiao in anger. He should have stayed back and fought action only after being fully prepared.
Ye Xiao also realized that the middle-aged man is strong. If he wants to kill the middle-aged man, there is only one way.
"Soul Destruction!"
"Ahhhh!"
Ye Xiao once again launched a soul attack, injuring the middle-aged man's already wounded soul.
The middle-aged man screamed in pain and lost the ability to fight for a short period of time. He held his head and sat down, trying to endure an inhuman pain.
Ye Xiao took advantage of this opportunity and punched down.
"World Exterminating Fist!"
A shocking fluctuation rose in the air surrounding Ye Xiao's huge right fist. The temperature rose as an aura of destruction flowed everywhere, originating from the fist.
"Bang!"
Ye Xiao smashed his fist on the middle-aged man's body. Because his fist was huge, it hid the middle-aged man completely.
A crater was created.
When Ye Xiao retracted his hand, he saw the middle-aged man lying in the crater, breathing irregularly.
On one hand, his soul was deeply wounded, and on the second hand, Ye Xiao's powerful attack landed on his body. It immediately took half of the middle-aged man's life.
Ye Xiao did not stop there. He knew he could not let the middle-aged man recover. Without wasting a second, he again launched another Soul Destruction ability, causing the middle-aged man to again suffer a heavy soul injury. The middle-aged man screamed out loud and immediately fainted.
"Slaughtering Abyssal Claw!"
Ye Xiao launched another attack. This time, he executed Slaughtering Abyssal Claw. He clawed like a beast at the middle-aged man who did not have the strength to resist Ye Xiao at all.
"Ugh!"
And that was all.
The middle-aged man let out his last breath and voice before dying. His body was separated into three parts. Anyone could tell from the wounds on three parts of his body that it was caused by a huge beast.
However, the reality was different.
Anyway, the moment the middle-aged man died, as if Ye Xiao completed his mission, the space around him started fluctuating with spatial force. The fluctuation grew stronger and stronger, and soon devoured Ye Xiao's figure completely.
When the fluctuation calmed down, Ye Xiao found himself standing in the same room with two stone slabs.
However, unlike the last time, there was no one here aside from him.
"I survived!"
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and muttered. He completed his mission. And even his strength increased to the next realm. It could be said that his journey during this mission was not a waste. He gained a lot during this period of three years.
Just as Ye Xiao was smiling in his heart, Yu Rong suddenly appeared in front of him. She still looked as fierce and demonic as before. Her red eyes were filled with coldness.
When Yu Rong appeared, Ye Xiao smiled and spoke, "I completed the mission. I survived!"
Yu Rong nodded and sighed, "Yes, you SURVIVED."
Ye Xiao felt something is wrong with the way Yu Rong spoke, but he could not point out exactly what is wrong.
He opened his mouth to say something but he suddenly found that he could not speak, he could not move at all. It was as if the space around his body has frozen. No, not the space, but his very own body has frozen. He could neither move nor speak at all.
What is going on?
This was the thought in his mind when he saw Yu Rong pointing her finger at Ye Xiao's glabella. He suddenly had a dangerous feeling in his heart. His instinct told him to move, to run, to escape as far as he could.
Unfortunately, he could not move his body at all.
