The red-robed man stood in stunned disbelief, his eyes widening in astonishment. He muttered, his voice trembling, "This... This is..."
His reaction was not without reason. What had just unfolded before him was extraordinary. Ye Xiao had unleashed something that should not have been possible for a Major Saint to explode with.
The red-robed man's mind raced as he tried to comprehend the magnitude of what he was witnessing. The level of Dark Force that emanated from Ye Xiao was astonishing, it was a force of a level that typically only a Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm warrior, a being of immense power, could comprehend.
Yet here was Ye Xiao, a Major Saint, tapping into this formidable level of Dark Force. The realization left the red-robed man dumbfounded, a mix of awe and confusion clouding his features.
It has to be known that other people could only comprehend 30% of a Rule at most. When the Lotus of Chaos swallowed the Dark Source Crystal, Ye Xiao automatically comprehended 10% Dark Force. As long as his strength increase, his understanding of Dark Force would automatically deepen.
Now that Ye Xiao has become a Major Saint, his understanding of Dark Force also went from 10% to 20%. And this is a level that only a warrior of the Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm could comprehend.
In fact, countless people could only comprehend to this level before they become Mystic Sovereigns and start comprehending the Profound Truth of their comprehended Rules of Chaos.
And this was the reason behind the red-robed man's astonishment.
The effect of Ye Xiao's Dark Force was profound. The once-illuminated battlefield was now enshrouded in darkness, the stark contrast to the radiant light creating an almost surreal atmosphere. The clash between the two opposing forces, Light and Dark, created an otherworldly spectacle that held the very essence of their battle.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to shift, charged with an electric intensity as the energies clashed. The air crackled with a palpable tension, and the very ground beneath them trembled, as if unable to contain the sheer power being unleashed.
In this extraordinary moment, the red-robed man's disbelief mirrored the awe-inspiring display of Dark Force. Ye Xiao had defied his expectations so much that it was unbelievable.
He was advising Ye Xiao from to time previously so that Ye Xiao could understand the essence of Dark Force through his showcase of the essence of Light Force. He was completely unaware that he doesn't need to do that. Ye Xiao would soon surpass his understanding of the Rules of Chaos, all he needs to do is increase his strength.
After a moment of contemplation, the red-robed man took a deep breath and spoke, his voice steady and composed. "Let's stop here. You have passed the second test as well."
As his voice faded, the darkness surrounding Ye Xiao disappeared instantly.
Confusion knitted Ye Xiao's brows as he processed the red-robed man's words. He couldn't help but voice his puzzlement. "But I haven't defeated you yet. Shouldn't that be the way to complete the second test?"
The red-robed man's gaze held a mixture of respect and approval as he met Ye Xiao's eyes. "True victory isn't always about overcoming an opponent through sheer force. The second test was not just about defeating me, but about understanding and harnessing the fundamental forces."
Ye Xiao's expression shifted from confusion to realization. The red-robed man's words struck a chord, and a sense of clarity began to dawn upon him.
"The battles you faced were not mere physical clashes," the red-robed man continued. "They were tests of your adaptability, your strategic thinking, and your ability to tap into the depths of your own potential. At the same time, it was the test of how deeper you could comprehend a Rule of Chaos."
Ye Xiao nodded slowly, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. The battles had been trials that pushed him to explore and embrace different aspects of his own strength.
With a calm and authoritative tone, the red-robed man spoke, "Now, it is time for the third test."
As he spoke, he gestured with a sweeping motion of his hand. In response, a swirling vortex materialized, and a powerful force of attraction locked on Ye Xiao.
"This is...?"
Ye Xiao could not understand what was happening. The red-robed man also did not explain anything. Before he could react, the vortex's irresistible pull pulled Ye Xiao into its embrace. And just like that, Ye Xiao disappeared.
Seeing Ye Xiao disappearing, a faint smile appeared on the red-robed man's face. looking at the disappearing vortex, the red-robed man muttered, "Ling Xiaolong, show me what choice you will make when faced with impending danger and the brink of death. The danger you are going to face transcends everything you have ever challenged. Moreover, there is also a guest specially prepared for your test. In the dire moment, will you prioritize your own safety and flee, or will you defy the odds to save the life of a stranger?"
As he muttered, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao appeared inside the enclosed platform where he had seen countless chaos beasts trapped before. The space inside this enclosed platform was a world of its own.
As Ye Xiao was drawn into this new realm, a wave of astonishment washed over him. The scenery that greeted him within was starkly different from what he had observed from the outside. The world within was expansive, yet it lacked the vibrant colors he was accustomed to. Instead, it was a world of black and white.
Upon his arrival, Ye Xiao found himself located in the heart of a desert adorned in shades of black and white. The transition from the outside world to this black-and-white world was striking.
He had seen hundreds of thousands of Chaos Beasts from outside, however, they were conspicuously absent from view within this space.
The absence of the Chaos Beasts within this black-and-white expanse was puzzling, a puzzle that added to the enigmatic nature of the trial before Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao took in the peculiar surroundings, his senses attuned to the lack of color and the absence of the formidable creatures he had observed from outside. The black and white desert stretched out before him like a canvas.
As Ye Xiao has no idea what was happening or what is the purpose of the red-robed man behind sending him into this space, he started walking, slowly taking every step with extreme cautiousness.
Because this was an unknown place, the danger here was also unknown. And unknown always gives birth to fear in a person's heart.
But just the unknown was not enough to scare Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was alert because he could feel an impending danger that might threaten his life.
As he slowly walked in the black and white desert, an unexpected danger arose just as Ye Xiao was feeling.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him trembled and a surge of chaotic energy erupted, swirling around him like a wild storm. This chaotic energy was unpredictable and powerful, and it posed a grave danger to Ye Xiao because it was no ordinary Chaos Energy but berserk Chaos Energy that could only be found in the Void of Chaos.
Ye Xiao has no idea how this kind of violent and not acceptable energy appeared in this place, but he knew he has to hurry up and get away, otherwise, this might be his end here if even a single stream of berserk chaos energy managed to invade his body.
And thus, he immediately wanted to teleport away, but he was shocked to discover his teleportation ability not working. It was as if a certain radius of area around Ye Xiao has become an enclosed space, not letting anything go out of enter. And because this was an enclosed space, Ye Xiao could obviously not use his teleportation ability to get out of there.
Ye Xiao found himself struggling to maintain his footing amidst the tumultuous chaos. The ground seemed to shift and quake beneath his feet, making it hard for him to stand steady. The surges of energy disrupted his movements, making it difficult for him to control his own actions.
One after another, waves of chaotic surge erupted that troubled Ye Xiao tremendously.
With each chaotic surge, Ye Xiao's own energy felt unstable, as if it was affected by the unruly energies around him. He could feel his strength waning, and his usual abilities became harder to access and control.
Desperation set in as Ye Xiao realized that escaping this situation would require more than just ordinary efforts.
The berserk chaos energy soon transformed into a storm that started trying to invade his body. If he was not a Chaos Spirit Saint Realm warrior and had a very strong body, the berserk chaos energy would have long invaded his body.
"I need to hurry and find a solution. Otherwise, I might end up dying here. What should I do now? How should I deal with berserk Chaos Energy?"
