Chapter 731 Ch 731: The Phenomenon

"This is..."

Half an hour later, Ye Xiao suddenly started floating upward on his own. All the magma affected by the Law-breaking Stone has been already absorbed by him. As he floated upward, the entire magma also surged and started forming a huge whirlpool. This whirlpool was as big as the basin itself, and the next moment, all the magma started drilling inside Ye Xiao's body without him needing to do anything.

At the same time, the sky suddenly changed colour and rumbled, as if a giant beast was roaring. The sky above the entire Demon Mountain changed. Not only this, even the nearby cities and countries were affected by it as a hint of red could be seen in the sky above these lands as well.

Queen looked at the sky and then shifted her gaze to Ye Xiao who has already floated out from the magma and was still floating upward slowly, and along with him was floating the huge whirlpool of magma like an inverse tornado, and was continuing drilling inside his body, making it impossible for his body to be seen by any outer forces or powers.

Queen was special, she could see it clearly. She saw Ye Xiao's entire body has changed and become red, he looked to have red skin. The air around him was fluctuating heavily, the void itself seems to be distorting. The temperature was rising continuously without any pause, and even from thousands of miles afar, the rise in temperature could be sensed easily. And the source of everything was Ye Xiao, an Eight Years Old child.

"His body is evolving, at the same time, there seems to be something more inside his body that seems to be evolving as well. But that thing...looks foreign, as if it never belongs to this world. There are only two complete laws in this world, the Laws of life and death. That thing inside Ye Xiao's body seems to be alive, however, it doesn't belong to this world."

"Could it be that that thing came from the original world along with Ye Xiao?"

"Impossible, no living being can share the same body after reincarnating. That thing can't be another person's soul. What exactly is that thing?"

"Eh! Even I'm unable to see through it. After being born into this world again, my power and strength have also disappeared. My strength is currently the same as Ye Xiao, at the Peak Martial Emperor Realm. This kind of strength is still far from enough to see what that thing is."

"However, whatever that thing is, it seems to have mutated. Its essence is clearly something that this world can't have, after all, this world never is a part of Heavens itself. At the same time, it seems to have been absorbing some sort of energy... No, it was absorbing the essence of Nine Sun Divine Body and was constantly evolving, causing it to mutate."

"But... What can absorb the essence of Nine Sun Divine Body to evolve continuously."

"Umm... It is not as simple as just absorbing the essence of the Nine Sun Divine Body, it seems to be an equal exchange. After constantly absorbing the essence of the Nine Sun Divine Body, it lets the Nine Sun Divine Body absorb its own essence, replenishing the Nine Sun Divine Body, and revitalizing it. This is like a cycle that makes both the Nine Sun Divine Body and that thing evolve continuously without any stop. Although the process is extremely slow, there is no doubt both of them were constantly evolving."

"Nine Sun Divine Body has already reached the point of saturation, and now that Ye Xiao has absorbed the magma affected by Law-breaking Stone that made its nature change completely, the Nine Sun Divine Body has finally broken through and is evolving to a new type of Divine Body, and the same goes for that thing inside Ye Xiao. That thing... seems to alive, as if it has its own soul. This is also the reason why I'm unable to see through it with my current strength."

"However, this applies to my current strength only. In the next few years, I'll definitely grow stronger. At that time, you'll no longer have the power to stay as a mystery in front of me."

Queen looked at Ye Xiao deeply. Her eyes were shining. But the next moment, her eyes changed colour as she let out a sigh: "I just don't know how he'll react after knowing the truth that the Nine Ancestral Dragons and even the Universe of Heavenly Pearl are just using him all this time for their own gain. And in the future, everything he has achieved with his will and hard work will be taken by the Universe of Heavenly Pearl and the Nine Ancestral Dragons!"

"Although he has already promised he'll not be angry and our relationship will not be affected, but my heart is not relieved. How can he not become angry knowing that very soon in the future, he'll return to the same place where he had started his journey. His cultivation, the abilities of ancestral dragons, his powerful soul, everything will be gone..."

"Sigh!"

"Should I really tell him the truth?"

.....

"What is happening now?"

"The sky has changed colour. It has become completely red. Is a calamity going to descend on our world?"

Inside the Demon Mountain, there were many people who entered the Demon Mountain for many different reasons. Some entered just to look for some medicinal herbs, some entered to hunt down the demonic beasts, some entered following the map to look for treasures, and some entered for the sole purpose of exploring the Demon Mountain.

When the sky suddenly changed colour, they all looked above. They could feel the continuous rise in temperature. The sky seems to be turning into a sea of magma. However far they could see, only the red sky could be seen. In their eyes, a calamity is very likely to be descending.

This was a phenomenon that has never appeared in this world. The appearance of this strange but terrifying phenomenon immediately alarmed all the forces in the entire Great Star Continent.

Inside the Demon Mountain, the group of Cao Family was returning back to their family with the corpse of the Demon in their hands, however, they were forced to stop and looked at the red sky.

"This is..." The third elder tried to find the source which was causing all these with his closed eyes. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked in Ye Xiao's direction.

"Third Elder, what happened?" One of the elders at the Martial Saint Realm asked.

The Third Elder didn't turn at him. He directly said, "The source of this phenomenon seems to be at the same location from where we get hold of this demon's corpse. There was really something but we were unable to find that thing. It is no wonder why there was an invisible barrier, stopping all the remains of the crumbled mountain above the basin. Whatever that thing, that thing must be a treasure. Let's go and take a look. If we can get that treasure, I believe, the power of our Cao Family, and more than that, the strength of our Holy Land will increase by leaps and bounds, and we might even get the chance to stand foot to foot with 'those' forces standing above us right now."

"Are you sure? Look there, that seems so dangerous. And can't you feel the rise in temperature. We have already started sweating a lot even though we are already thousands of kilometers far away from that place. What kind of situation that place might have right now, think about?" Another elder said with worry on his face. He didn't want to go to that place, he could already feel how dangerous that place has already become.

The Third Elder could understand what his fellow family member was trying to say, however, no matter what, he couldn't give up on that treasure. The treasure that could cause the appearance of such a phenomenon in the sky must not fall into other people's hands. Just thinking about what kind of mystical and powerful that treasure might be, the Third Elder's eyes turn red from greed.

But he still controlled his surging emotions and forcefully suppressed the greed in his heart. The family is the most important, and other things come only after the family. So he said, "All of you return to the family and inform the family head about the phenomenon here. I'll go there alone and take a look."

"But third elder..."

"There is nothing more to say. It's an order!"

"As you say, Third Elder. We'll now return to the family."

Everyone saluted the Third Elder with bows, took the corpse of the demon with them, and left, leaving behind the Third Elder alone.

After everyone left, the Third Elder again looked in the direction of Ye Xiao and a red light flashed in his eyes. He looked dangerous at this moment because of the increasing greed in his heart.

"Treasure, I'm coming. Stay there for me to retrieve you!"
