Chapter 58 Ch : Destroying The Future Path
"What? What is going on? Why can't I move?"
Ye Xiao was frieghtend. From the fierce aura Yu Rong was emitting and the way she acted just now, coupled with his own gut feeling, Ye Xiao knew he was in danger. He has no idea why Yu Rong wants to harm him, but he knew if he does not escape now, he would be thoroughly destroyed.
However, how could he escape when being locked down by a monster like Yu Rong? He could not even imagine the extent of her strength.
All he could do is helplessly see Yu Rong pointing her finger at his glabella.
"Bang!"
"BOOM!"
The moment her finger touched the space between Ye Xiao's brows, two sounds rang out. When the first sound rang out, Ye Xiao felt a terrifying energy invading his newly evolved Chaos Divine Sea. And when the next sound rang out, the Chaos Divine Sea exploded.
"Ahhh!"
Ye Xiao screamed out loud due to unbearable pain and immediately fainted. His cultivation was crippled and he once became a warrior of the Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation.
Ye Xiao did not completely become an ordinary person after his cultivation was crippled because of two reasons.
First, only Chaos Dust Realm warriors need Chaos Divine Sea to store and support Chaos Energy. Warriors below Chaos Dust Realm simply rely on their strong physical body and energy of lower grade than Chaos Energy.
Second, the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation Realm never need a martial warrior to absorb and store Chaos Energy. The Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation transform a martial warrior's body to be adaptable to Chaos Energy and become a true Chaos Being.
Thus, after Ye Xiao's Chaos Divine Sea exploded, his cultivation fell down from Chaos Dust Realm to the Third Cycle of the Chaotic Transformation Realm.
And along with the destruction of Chaos Divine Sea, Ye Xiao's future path of cultivation was completely cut off. There was no way Ye Xiao could cultivate any longer.
Of course, there might be miracle pills and herbs that could heal and recover a person's Chaos Divine Sea, however, finding even one is as difficult as returning from the dead.
Yu Rong looked at Ye Xiao's unconscious figure and sighed.
.....
After an unknown period, Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes. He felt heavy in his head and piercing pain that seemed to be coming from the depth of his soul. He could not help but scream again in pain.
"Swallow it. It will help you relieve the pain!"
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. He raised his head and saw Yu Rong giving him a pill. Her eyes were filled with sympathy and pity. Her expression caused Ye Xiao to suddenly remember the time when he was still in the Source Universe (Heavens) and had yet to step into the path of cultivation. He used to beg for food. At that time, he had seen this kind of expression in many people's eyes.
A tinge of hatred flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and asked only one word.
"Why?"
His question was clear.
He wanted to know why Yu Rong destroyed his Chaos Divine Sea. Why did she cut off his future path of cultivation?
Yu Rong was so powerful, how could she not feel hatred from Ye Xiao? But she did not care. She still looked at Ye Xiao with the same expression and answered: "It is because you are not the one we were waiting for."
Ye Xiao got confused. But his confusion does not matter.
"Since I am not the one you were waiting for, you could have gone and looked for that person. Why did you harm me? I trusted you, but you betrayed my trust!"
If there is something Ye Xiao hates the most, then it is betrayal.
In his previous life when he was still in the Heavens, the Source Universe, he was betrayed by those whom he trusted the most. And now, in Chaos, he was once again betrayed by someone whom he chose to trust.
"Umhm..." Yu Rong shook her head and continued to say, "You are wrong here. Now, you know us three apprentice brothers and sisters and you know our intention. We are looking for the destined one who could walk the path my master, the First King of Chaos, once walked. And no matter what happens or what kind of price we have to pay, we absolutely could not let anyone become a thorn in the path of the destined one."
"You are a lucky fellow. Your luck is incredible. You are also blessed by the Land of Morning Stars. You obtained three amazing abilities from the blessings. On top of that, you even have traces of Origin of Chaos in your body and soul. Also, because of your incredible luck, who knows you might be able to obtain the second and third keys, and then compete for the legacy of my master, the First King of Chaos."
"So, we needed to remove you."
Ye Xiao was listening to every word of the explanation. Although the pain was still attacking Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao was enduring it forcefully. After listening to everything, he only asked two words, "Remove me?"
"Yes!" Yu Rong sighed and continued, "At first, we decided to kill you. However, I trained you and brought you here. I even gave you a mission which you passed successfully. In the end, you could be said to be a disciple of mine. So, I decided to spare your life. You can now at least live an ordinary life. Also, because of your background, you'll not have any difficulty throughout your life. You can just sit back home and have fun as much as you want."
After she was done with what she had to say, she did not give Ye Xiao any chance to speak. She waved her hand and Ye Xiao appeared in a mountain range. There was a huge Chaos Beast in front of Ye Xiao.
At an unknown time, a pill also appeared in his hand. This was exactly the same pill Yu Rong was giving Ye Xiao before.
At this time, Yu Rong's voice sounded, "I have sent you to the Land of Morning Stars already. It is just that this place is very far away from the place you came from. This Star Beast is a farewell gift. It can keep you safe from Chaos Dust Realm warriors. With this Chaos Beast as your companion, you are almost safe and sound. All you need to do is to be careful and not anger Chaos Spirit Realm and above warriors." 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝘦𝘵
"I left you here and did not directly send you to the place you came from because of a reason. As my former disciple, I at least want to give you a change. There is an opportunity hidden in a city not far from here. If you can obtain that opportunity, you will have one more life. It means, even if you die somehow, your soul will be safe and that opportunity will help you recover your body as well."
"The Chaos Beast and that opportunity are my compensation to you for destroying your future path. Also, this Chaos Beast is still a child. As long as you raise it carefully, it could become a Chaos Spirit Saint. At that time, you will have another Chaos Spirit Saint in your family."
With that, the sound disappeared.
Now, in this mountain range, other than him and the Chaos Beast, there was no one present.
Ye Xiao looked at the pill in his hand with red eyes and swallowed the pill.
This pill could at least give relief to the physical and internal pain. But the hatred in his heart was not that easy to moderate. Ye Xiao did not say a single word or showed any emotion on his face. He was completely expressionless.
He looked at the Chaos Beast in front of him and observed it. This Chaos Beast was completely black, only its eyes were slightly red and white. Although it was still a child, it was already 10 meters tall. Not to mention, it also has a pair of wings that could span to 8 meters easily. It means, this beast was a flying-type Chaos Beast.
At least, Ye Xiao's journey back to the Illusionary Spirit Gate will be much easier.
From Yu Rong's words, Ye Xiao now already knew that his family has Chaos Spirit Saints. As for who they are, it was not difficult for Ye Xiao to guess. They must be his grandfather and the leaders of the other three families in the Illusionary Spirit Gate.
Other than them, the mysterious Elder Mo might also be a Chaos Spirit Saint.
And now, as long as this beast is carefully nurtured, it could also become a Chaos Spirit Saint Realm beast in the future.
Although this will profit the Ling Family and the Illusionary Spirit Gate, what about him?
His future was completely destroyed already!
