Chapter 334 Ch 334: Seed of Doubt
About a month ago, Ye Xiao ventured into the ruins of the Yin and Yang Emperor, accompanied by hundreds of Supreme Experts.
Now that he understood this place was located at the End of the Void, he found it less surprising to encounter numerous Supreme Experts here.
For one, when the Kings of Chaos come to the End of Void at the end of each era, they rarely come alone. They usually bring along trusted subordinates and even their families.
Secondly, after countless eras, these families have grown to the point where they have populated nearly every corner of every Land present in the End of the Void.
As subsequent generations are born in this realm, they naturally grow up considering the End of the Void as their home.
Consequently, after several generations, numerous Chaos Sovereigns and Supreme Experts have been born here.
Likewise, there must be several Kings of Chaos who come to the End of Void at the end of each era.
As for the Five Emperors, after spending three days in that city, Ye Xiao had gathered enough information about them.
It turns out that the Five Emperors are, in fact, the Five Kings of Chaos who obtained a particular legacy from beyond the End of Chaos.
The source of these legacies is a single ruin known as the Yin and Yang Emperor's ruin.
Who exactly was the Yin and Yang Emperor?
From the ancient texts inscribed on the walls of that ruin, people have gleaned a few details about the Yin and Yang Emperor. Although the information is limited, it includes facts such as the Yin and Yang Emperor being a dual weapon wielder. He used to use a Spear and a Blade. He had also completely mastered the Rules of Yin and Yang.
These ancient texts also suggest that the Yin and Yang Emperor wasn't originally a native of Chaos. He hailed from a place beyond Chaos and left behind a colossal structure where he concealed all his legacies. With the passage of time, this massive structure transformed into a ruin.
Ye Xiao had heard from others that this ruin was filled with dangers that could instantly kill even a Supreme Expert. However, he didn't dwell on it too much. In his eyes, his strength was more than sufficient to handle most situations unless facing a danger directly emanating from a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior or equivalent.
It was only after he entered the ruin that Ye Xiao came to realize how grossly mistaken he had been. He found himself struggling against a single puppet with strength equivalent to a Supreme Expert who had two opened Hidden Gates of Celestial.
To overcome this formidable foe, he had to rely on all sorts of strengths, including but not limited to his three bloodlines and nine special abilities. He even displayed the power of the universe, though its assistance proved limited in the End of the Void when confronting Supreme Expert-level adversaries.
After all, even a single Chaos Dust Realm warrior could obliterate an entire Source Universe with a single punch. The Power of a Universe couldn't rival the strength of a Supreme Expert.
Nevertheless, Ye Xiao's universe was no ordinary Source Universe. It had acquired several similarities to that of Chaos, allowing him to contend with several formidable opponents. Yet it remained far from matching the strength that a Supreme Expert could unleash.
In addition, the blade in his hand was called the Celestial Glory Blade.
As he gazed upon this blade, Ye Xiao couldn't help but recall the time when he was challenging the last seven steps to obtain the Gravity Source Crystal. It was during that trial that he witnessed the catastrophic destruction of an entire sect.
All of this devastation had been brought to that sect because of a single blade, the Celestial Glory Blade.
As Ye Xiao thought about these things, seeds of doubt started growing within his mind, making him wonder whether the blade in his hand was the very same Celestial Glory Blade.
It is definitely not a coincidence.
The coincidence seemed too unlikely, for nothing in his life ever appeared without a deeper meaning. Many events appeared to be planned by an unknown existence.
So many things had happened to him.
So many things had happened to him and several chances told him many things about that unknown existence, including the disappearance of Queen he knew and the appearance of Queen who was a Master of Chaos.
There was also that tortoise whose name was Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise.
When the Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise appeared, it called him 'Master'.
When that strong sect was destroyed because of the Celestial Glory Blade, everyone from that sect blamed him, calling out his name and saying that he was responsible for the destruction of their sect.
Then there was Lotus of Chaos, Rule Source Crystals, and even these men standing opposite to him who called out his name and started attacking him, wanting to kill him and saying that all Masters of Chaos are his enemies.
These many events caused him to doubt several things. He could not help but doubt whether he himself was behind everything that was happening.
At the same time, Ye Xiao couldn't help but entertain the idea that he might be the unknown existence of true Chaos. If that were the case, perhaps nobody had been manipulating him from the start, and he had been forging his own path toward greater strength from the very beginning.
The Lotus of Chaos had implied that the unknown existence desired his growth and intended for him to become far stronger than anyone could imagine.
Several clues had suggested that all Masters of Chaos were his enemies, and to confront them, he needed to surpass everyone's expectations and rise to the position of the First King of Chaos in true Chaos.
What if he was responsible for everything?
What if everything was done by himself?
The more Ye Xiao pondered this possibility, the more it seemed to fit. He couldn't shake the idea that everything had been meticulously planned by himself.
Ye Xiao could not help but recall Queen's words.
"A Master of Chaos is an entity that even Rules of Chaos could not hurt. You don't have the strength and abilities of any one of these experts, yet you were able to resist the berserk Chaos Energy. It only means you are much stronger than what 'YOU' had expected to be."
"Do not worry about the Void Shattering Spear. It is currently fusing with the Origin Energy of 'YOUR' Eternal Fury Divine Spear. It will return to you on its own after finishing its evolution!"
She used YOU and YOUR in her sentences.
This all clearly indicates that his guess is correct, at least 80% correct.
But why?
If that unknown existence is really him, why did he lack any recollection? Why was he devoid of any memory regarding these things?
Countless questions swirled in Ye Xiao's mind at that moment.
However, Lotus of Chaos might know a few things, but he knew only Queen could answer all his questions.
Now is not the time to think about those things since several enemies were ready to attack him.
These enemies, they suddenly appeared the moment Ye Xiao obtained the Celestial Glory Blade inside the ruin of Yin and Yang Emperor. It was as if they had been waiting for him for a very long time.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao had the ability to teleport. He directly teleported out of the ruin and started escaping since he was no match for these people. He teleported several times, however, he was still unable to leave behind these formidable enemies.
In the end, they still surrounded him completely.
Seeing that the man in front of him was determined to kill, Ye Xiao no longer hesitated. The Celestial Glory Blade in his hand instantly lit up. Streams of Chaos Energy surrounded it, bringing forth a divine golden light.
Maybe, this divine light had a certain effect, it instantly freed Ye Xiao who could not even move from the suppression of his enemy a while ago.
Ye Xiao suddenly stomped on the ground and jumped up, pouncing towards the black-robed man opposite him.
"Hehe, I don't know what happened, but your cultivation is no longer what it used to be. No matter how much you try, you cannot inflict any injury upon us. You are destined to die today. Why don't you obediently accept your fate and die silently?"
The black-robed man stood in place without moving.
The dozens of men who had surrounded the area earlier all swarmed forward after seeing this scene, pouncing towards Ye Xiao.
Roar~
All of a sudden, a strange roar was heard.
Everyone saw as Ye Xiao pounced at them, he transformed into a giant demonic creature with a burning head that had two giant horns. His cultivation also increased rapidly, forcefully opening three of the Eight Gates of Celestials.
"This is..."
"Interesting!"
The black-robed man spoke, "I didn't know you had such a demonic bloodline. Or... Did you snatch this bloodline from someone else?"
"Have you already decided to become a demon?"
