All the people present in the hall were shocked when the illusion suddenly shattered.
At first, they all were confused because Ye Xiao who had already endured three attacks of Xuan Ran suddenly disappeared. Most importantly, they found themselves standing at the same place before the start of the battle, while they clearly move when the battle between Ye Xiao and Xuan Ran started.
It could only mean that they were trapped in an illusion.
When everyone came back to their senses, a big uproar was caused among them.
And exactly at this moment, a terrifying aura exploded and the space around them became chaotic. Spatial turbulence formed that heavily injured many peoples immediately.
But this was not the end. The entire relic started trembling and cracks started appearing on the ground, becoming the cause of the relic's destruction that has already started. The relic slowly started crumbling down. The atmosphere immediately became disorderly and people started running.
Even Minor Saints were not exceptions, they had to run away as well.
This relic was very big and there were countless passageways inside. Every passageway had wells filled with different kinds of treasures.
Ye Xiao had ignored all those wells and directly arrived at the battlefield after crossing the big hall. But the distance between the big hall and the outside was tens of miles. Going out immediately was impossible.
There would have been thousands of sacrifices if not for Ye Xiao who took action in time.
.....
When Ye Xiao was still in the Heavens, it could be said that he did not suffer much from his enemies but from the spatial blades. Spatial Blades were like his true enemy.
And here in the Chaos, he once again suffered from the spatial blades. In less than a minute, he was heavily injured and hundreds of deep wounds appeared on his tough body.
Ye Xiao already had an idea of how to get away from this place. To do that, he has to increase his strength first.
Then again, the question was, how to increase strength?
There were two ways. The first one is to let the Heavenly Demon Bloodline absorb all the corpses of Heavenly Demon and evolve many times continuously. This way, when he'll transfer again, his strength might even reach the peak of Minor Saint or even Major Saint. No one knows.
But choosing this option will consume too much time. Till then, he might be shredded to pieces by the spatial blades. Thus, this was not a feasible option.
Here comes the second option which is to use his devouring ability to instantly devour all the energy and blood of the Heavenly Demon and use it to nurture his Heavenly Demon Bloodline and at the same time, increase his strength. This option will only consume less than one minute to completely devour what he wants.
Ye Xiao chose this option and took out a corpse of Heavenly Demon to check if this method works or not. After all, these Heavenly Demons are dead for millions of years. Who knows, the energy and blood in their bodies might have already dissipated a long time ago.
After all, when the Heavenly Demon Bloodline absorbed the Heavenly Demon corpse previously, it absorbed all the flesh, bones, and blood. There was already a very small amount of blood in its body at that time.
The moment Ye Xiao took out the corpse of a Heavenly Demon, it was immediately shredded to pieces, and not even a single drop of blood fall on the ground. Everything ended as quickly as Ye Xiao took out the corpse of Heavenly Demon.
Ye Xiao was stunned. But then he understood what must have happened.
He has the help of his powerful physical body as well as Chaos Energy which was helping him endure the attacks of spatial blades. But the Heavenly Demon's corpse didn't have any energy to support it. Although its physical body was also very strong, without the support of Chaos Energy, it was like still like a turtle without a shell in front of the rain of spatial blades.
"What should I do?"
Ye Xiao muttered for he knew the situation was not right. He has to escape.
Teleportation!
This was the only way now. But the teleportation ability has a direct connection and relationship with space. But the space here was disorderly and extremely chaotic. Even if Ye Xiao used the teleportation ability, he was afraid his teleportation ability will not work and will be intercepted immediately. And being disturbed by something foreign while using the ability, he'll be internally injured greatly.
He has no idea what he should do now.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up.
"Should I try that ability? I've never used it even when I was still in the Heavens. I have no idea what kind of ability it is and how it works. Let's see, it might give me an opportunity to escape."
The more Ye Xiao thought, the more he wanted to give that ability a try in this situation.
He has a total of nine abilities that originated from nine Ancestral Dragons who used to be firstborns of Heavens, a Source Universe.
As firstborns, their every ability was terrifying.
Later on, the Lotus of Chaos which was still in the form of a seed at that time, known as the Domineering God Crystal, replicated these abilities from those nine Ancestral Dragons and fused them with Ye Xiao's universe.
Now, as long as his universe is there, he could use these abilities wherever and however he wants. Most importantly, these abilities had already evolved with the help of Lotus of Chaos.
These Nine Abilities are <Devouring Ability>, <Soul Destruction>, <Immunity from all Poisons>, <World Exterminating Fist>, <Slaughtering Abyssal Claw>, <Nine Hell Transformation>, <Life Recovery>, <Teleportation>, <Creation Force Universe Tree>.
Ye Xiao had used every ability except for Creation Force Universe Tree. He has no idea what kind of ability it is.
And this chaotic moment was the perfect time to use this ability and see what kind of effect it provides.
"Creation Force Universe Tree!"
Ye Xiao immediately used this ability. He could not wait anymore. His body already had thousands of tiny wounds that reached bones. If not for his constant use of his Life Recovery ability, even his bones would have been cut into thousands of pieces.
The moment Ye Xiao activated the Creation Force Universe Tree, he felt every bit of chaos energy inside his body being used up in an instant. He felt incredibly weak at this moment.
A tree slowly emerged from his back and started growing out. The bigger it grow, the wider area it covered. Many branches also spread in every direction.
Weirdly enough, spatial blades had no effect at the places Creation Force Universe Tree covered. In fact, spatial blades no longer attacked those places.
Ye Xiao suddenly sensed a very familiar feeling from this tree.
"Source of Universe!"
Ye Xiao's eyes grew wide. This was the Source Universe Ye Xiao had seen in the Heavens and in his own universe. His Universe's Universe Source was devoured by the Domineering God Crystal which later replaced became core of the universe.
Later on, Ye Xiao came to know that if he let the Domineering God Crystal, which is the Lotus of Chaos now, devour the Source of the Universe, it will expand and become bigger. The more Source of the Universe there is, the more his Universe will expand.
But this is only one of the methods to expand his own universe. There were a few other methods as well.
Anyway, coming back to the point, Ye Xiao felt the Source of the Universe from the Creation Force Universe Tree.
As if, Ye Xiao suddenly gained enlightenment, a lot of information entered his mind as his eyes flashed with bright light.
It was only for a single moment, but to the man in question, Ye Xiao felt like thousands of years had gone by.
When the light in his eyes faded, he had already digested all the new information. He extended his hand and spoke, "Root!"
The Creation Force Universe Tree trembled and roots actually grew out from it. Unlike normal trees, its roots seemed to be made of pure starry energy. Then the roots penetrated the ground and started spreading throughout the entire relic at an extremely fast speed. In next to no time, its roots had already covered the whole relic.
"Stabilize!"
Ye Xiao again spoke and the next moment, the trembling of the relic stopped immediately. And this is what gave other people an opportunity to escape the relic.
Ye Xiao could feel everything that was happening inside the relic because of the roots of the Creation Force Universe Tree.
Ye Xiao kept sitting cross-legged under this tree like a monk. His eyes were closed but he was observing every situation in the relic even clearer than open eyes and Divine Sense. It was as if he has become a part of the relic itself.
