Chapter 328 Ch 328: It Is Time For Action
In the first era, nine people from nine different races quickly rose to power.
These nine people came from the Human Race, Heavenly Demon Race, Abyssal Race, Sky Immortal Race, Illusory Shadow Race, Moonlit Elf Race, Shadowflame Dragon Race, Frostborn Race, and Phoenix Ascendant Race.
At the end of that era, a war was fought among these nine races led by nine supreme experts. This war was the war to become the First King of Chaos.
In fact, there was also the tenth most powerful race, the Spiritas Race. However, they chose to stay neutral and never took action in matters that did not concern their own race.
After the war to become the First King of Chaos ended, eight ancestors of eight races failed. The winner was a person called Yu Minghao, the ancestor of the Illusory Shadow Race.
The eight ancestors of the Eight Races failed and were heavily injured, and one of them died.
The one to die was from the Heavenly Demon Race. This caused Heavenly Demons to hate all the races and lives that exist in Chaos. They immediately became the enemy of Chaos and started causing trouble everywhere.
As for the remaining seven ancestors, they knew their injuries were heavy and would die in a few thousand years. Nothing could save their lives.
In the end, the seven of them gathered and decided to leave behind the inheritance for complete strangers. They arrived in a Land that was just born in the beginning of the new era which was also the second era.
This Land was the Land of Mystic Falls.
Just after coming to the Land of Mystic Falls, they gathered blood essence from a creature of every race, and then they created the Azure Tomb of Ancients where seven ancients are buried.
They created this tomb as such that only the native of this Land could find their way inside. If an outsider wants to enter, they have to ask for help from the natives of this Land.
However, even so, those outsiders could only explore this maze-like structure, not the real tombs of the ancients.
Only a native of this Land could open a path from each pillar and enter the actual tomb of an ancient.
These seven pillars are the road to the tombs of ancestors of seven different races. Among them, even the first abyssal to become a Supreme Expert was also there.
No one knows why that abyssal agreed to create the Azure Tomb of the Ancients, but there is a theory passed down from generation to generation of this Land that has long been lost.
The legend says that the ancestor of the Abyssals had a supreme treasure in his possession. He did not want to give anyone his supreme treasure, not even his kin of the Abyssal Race. So, he decided to take that treasure to his tomb.
From the information provided by Queen, Ye Xiao knew that there was actually not one supreme treasure but two. They were Yin and Yang Source Crystals.
These two source crystals were in the possession of the ancestor of Abyssals. Even in his death, he did not want to part with these two treasures, so he took these two treasures to his grave.
At the same time, he set multiple high-level traps in his grave such that even Supreme Experts will find it difficult to raid his grave.
The most one could do is inherit his legacy. That's all.
Ye Xiao was here to obtain those two treasures, the Yin and Yang Source Crystals.
Now, the first question in front of Ye Xiao was how to open the entrance to the tomb of Ancestor Abyssal.
Only natives of this Land could open up the entrance and Hu Xiao did not enter.
But... Does Ye Xiao really need someone's help to open the entrance of such an important place?
In fact, with some effort, he could definitely find a way to open the entrance to the Azure Tomb of Ancients.
However, that must have wasted too much of his time. Queen was in a hurry, which is why she made Hu Xiao open the entrance for him.
As for the second entrance that would lead him inside the actual Tomb of the Ancestor Abyssal, Ye Xiao had to find a way himself. He has to at least put in some effort so that he would be worthy of obtaining those Rule Source Crystals.
If everything is laid before him, how could Ye Xiao become powerful? He will lose an important experience that might have become a key to his future growth.
Ye Xiao was helped once, but that was already enough.
For the second time, he has to find a way himself.
Ye Xiao touched the pillar of ancestor abyssal and it immediately shot rays of abyssal energy at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao easily countered those rays and completely focused on the pillar. He discovered countless ancient patterns. These patterns were Ancient Abyssal Patterns, similar to Divine Inscriptions but completely different.
Ye Xiao had zero knowledge about either of the two. He sat down on the spot and started organizing his thoughts.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao thought of trying something. That might be useful in some way.
"Calamity Bloodline, Activate!"
The moment Ye Xiao activated the Bloodline of Calamity, he found himself in a pivotal moment, for an extraordinary transformation was taking place within him.
Upon activating the Bloodline of Calamity, an immediate change occurred in the surroundings. The once-normal atmosphere shifted to a surreal scarlet hue, bathing everything in an eerie red light. This change also initiated the manifestation of the immense energy coursing through Ye Xiao's body. This energy was filled with destructive power.
Very soon, a very potent and destructive energy was released from Ye Xiao's body. This energy radiated outwards, creating an aura of instability in the vicinity. It was like a force that could potentially disrupt and shatter anything it touched, including space.
As the Calamitic energy coursed through him, Ye Xiao underwent physical changes. His eyes underwent a transformation. His previous dark eyes transformed into a striking dark red color. However, they weren't just red; there was a unique mix of purple in their glow.
Ye Xiao's cultivation level remained unchanged. He was still at the same level of power he had been before activating the Bloodline of Calamity. However, the nature of his strength improved significantly. It became of higher quality, which meant that he became more formidable even without a visible increase in cultivation.
For example, if he could only fight five Chaos Sovereigns at once before, then now, he could battle ten Chaos Sovereigns.
In short, his battle prowess was at least doubled.
"Calamity Shroud!"
The Bloodline of Calamity provided Ye Xiao with four unique and immensely powerful abilities. The Calamity Shroud is one of them.
The moment he activated the <Calamitic Shroud>, destructive energy started rising from his body and enveloped him in a protective layer. This was a protective shroud of destructive energy. This shroud acts as an impenetrable defense, rendering him impervious to any harm. It was his most reliable defensive ability, capable of safeguarding his life in moments of peril.
In addition to its defensive properties, the <Calamitic Shroud> exuded an aura that had a destabilizing effect on the surroundings. It could disrupt the balance of energy and matter nearby, creating chaos for anyone or anything within its radius.
"It is time to try!"
Ye Xiao silently muttered, took a deep breath, and looked at the Pillar of Ancestral Abyssal once again.
With the <Calamitic Shroud> active, Ye Xiao slowly placed his hand on the Pillar of Ancestral Abyssal.
Woosh~
The moment he did so, a surge of this abyssal energy attempted to infiltrate his body. However, before it could make its way inside, the destructive energy shrouding Ye Xiao's body came into play. It was as if the destructive energy had a voracious appetite for the abyssal energy, instantly absorbing and nullifying its effects.
If one doesn't look closely, one would think that the abyssal energy was wiped out of existence.
However, energy could not be wiped out. Be it any form of energy, they never disappear. They exist forever.
"This might do the work!"
Ye Xiao grinned and became excited.
Now that he confirmed a theory he had in mind, it was time for action.
"Nine Hell Transformation!"
As Ye Xiao launched his domain-type ability, the Grand Hall changed completely. It became a vast world of destruction. The Ground was filled with red magma that could burn anything. From time to time, explosions were occurring at several places. The sky was completely dark, as if it was hell itself.
There was no similarity between the Nine Hell Domain and the Grand Hall of Azure Tomb of Ancients. If there was something that could tell that it used to be the Grand Hall, then there were seven pillars of ancients.
Ye Xiao did not stop there.
The first step he took was completely shrouding himself in the destructive energy.
The second step was creating his own territory. So, he activated the domain-type ability.
There was still the final step to take.
