Chapter 593 - Ch 593: Golden Bullet Ants

The Ghost Soul Fruit was of no use to Ye Xiao because it was used to strengthen the soul. And there was also one in ten thousand chance for a martial warrior to directly evolve their Sea Of Consciousness into the Divine Sea by eating the Ghost Soul Fruit.

Although the probability was extremely low, there was no doubt that one might still evolve their soul into a Divine Soul.

But Ye Xiao already had the Divine Soul, it was even Emperor Divine Soul.

But Ye Xiao had a perfect idea of how to use this opportunity.

Since there is a Ghost Soul Tree here that had already produced some Ghost Soul Fruits, there ought to be a guardian here. And this guardian must be extremely powerful in strength.

There was a demonic beast's corpse near the Ghost Soul Tree and the wounds on its body told Ye Xiao that this demonic beast was killed by the guardian guarding the Ghost Soul Fruits. 

Without wasting any more time, Ye Xiao returned to the place where he felt the aura of the second powerful demon and after a small fight, he successfully made the demon chase after him to the Ghost Soul Tree.

Looking at the Ghost Soul Tree, the demon stopped in his place and didn't dare to move forward any longer. Ye Xiao could also see the sign of fear on his face.

This confirmed Ye Xiao one thing. That was, this demon must have known about the Ghost Soul Tree at this place and might have even come here to take away the fruits. It and its other companions might have come across the guardian of the Ghost Soul Fruit, causing them to suffer a crushing defeat.

This must be the reason behind the fear on his face.

But... Since the demon was already aware of the guardian at this place, it would be incredibly difficult for him to execute his plan.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao started thinking of what could he do to make the demon and the guardian fight each other when suddenly the ground trembled heavily.

At the same time, a strange sound came from the surroundings as if something strange was approaching them.

"What's that sound, did you hear it?" The demon was shocked and looked at Ye Xiao to ask cautiously.

"I heard it too. It seems like something is approaching!"

Ye Xiao did not think much as he replied. He also stopped and listened attentively.

It was because he felt threatened because of something unknown. At the same time, he also felt the surroundings being restricted for some reason. It was as if something had restricted something in the surroundings.

Ye Xiao could tell that it was not doing of the demon. It must be because of something.

He looked around vigilantly. However, at this moment, he felt something appearing and disappearing in front of him at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

He also took a closer look and noticed that corpse of the demonic beast was covered with a layer of golden ants that were crazily eating the demonic beast's body. However, only a skeleton was left after a short while.

"What the hell is this thing!" The demon also noticed this and was startled and immediately retreated.

"These are Golden Bullet Ants. They have poisonous teeth and could eat anything they saw worth eating in their paths. And since they always move in a group, nothing in the world is said to have the ability to stop these ants. These ants are only weaker in front of fire-type attacks"

For some reason, Ye Xiao quickly warned the demon about the Golden Bullet Ants. He got to know about these ants because of the Second Stage of the First Trial. There he had once experienced the terror of the Golden Bullet Ants and knew that even Mortal Level Golden Bullet Ants could threaten the life of an Immortal if they were to move in a group with numbers more than ten thousand.

Ye Xiao was sure that he could not deal with these Golden Bullet Ants alone so he wanted to retreat immediately. But he suddenly realized that he could not fly. Only now did Ye Xiao understand why he felt something being restricted in the surroundings.

Ye Xiao immediately spread his Divine Sense and found an array that seemed to be here for who knows how many million years. This was an array specially built to restrict martial warriors from flying in the air. And for some reason, this array was activated the moment the Golden Bullet Ants appeared.

On the originally calm ground, tiny holes suddenly appeared as Bullet Ants crawled out one after another.

In less than ten seconds, there were already more than ten thousand Golden Bullet Ants appearing, and there were even more that continuously drilled out from the ground.

Ye Xiao's expression froze. Then he came back to his senses. Looking at the demon who was still in a daze, he said anxiously: "What are you waiting for! Hurry up and run!"

Ye Xiao wanted to use the guardian to kill the demons but at this moment, he no longer wanted to kill the demon at all. It is because there were simply too many Golden Bullet Ants.

As long as the demon was alive, he could attract the attention of Golden Fire Ants. At that moment, he'll try to break the array.

The demon doesn't need Ye Xiao to remind him. He immediately started running.

Ye Xiao also used the Spirit Devour Escape to escape and using the Divine Sense, he soon arrived in front of the eye of the array. And at this moment, Ye Xiao realized that the eye of the array was actually the Ghost Soul Tree itself.

"Shit!"

Ye Xiao exclaimed because he walked into the territory of the Golden Bullet Ants himself without even realizing it. It was mainly because he was extremely anxious at this moment and his full focus was on finding the eye of the array.

When he actually found it, he didn't bother to look at what was the eye of the array and directly used the Spirit Devour Escape to reach the place, causing him to be instantly surrounded by Tens of thousands of Golden Bullet Ants.

Fortunately, more than half of the Golden Bullet Ants were chasing after the demon, causing the pressure Ye Xiao was feeling to be lessened by quite a bit.

Ye Xiao instantly formed a barrier using the Heavenly Lightning and the Sun Fire Soul, causing the Golden Bullet Ants to burn into ashes upon approaching. But this was not the long-term method.

If the number Golden Bullet Ants attacked him all at once, even this armor of thunder and fire would not be able to save him. He has to think of some other methods.

But right now, breaking the array was the first thing he had to do.

Ye Xiao was ready to use his martial arts skill to tear apart the Ghost Soul Tree into pieces but suddenly, another huge tremor occurred under the ground, causing the ground to tremble heavily.

In the next moment, a huge crack appeared on the ground beside the Ghost Soul Tree and a huge ant, the size of an elephant, walked out. There seemed to be a golden crown on its head.

"Golden Bullet Ant Queen!"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath when he saw another formidable enemy appearing in front of him. He also understood that it would not be so easy to destroy the Ghost Soul Tree and break the array.

"Th-The Guardian! Dammit, the guardian has appeared!"

"Ahhh!!"

When the escaping demon saw the Golden Bullet Ant Queen, he immediately shouted in fear. In his fear, he didn't see a small rock peaking its head out the ground, causing the demon to collide his leg against it and fall down to the ground.

Immediately, the huge army of Golden Bullet Ants rode the body of the demon and started earing him alive, causing the demon to let out painful screams.

Ye Xiao had tried using the Soul Destruction on this demon too, but the result was the same. This demon was also a puppet that had already given birth to intelligence for some reason. They had no soul, causing the soul-type abilities to not work on them at all.

But they could still feel pain and other emotions.

The demon kept crying in pain for some time before taking the last breath. In the next few seconds, the demon was eaten by the Golden Bullet Ants, only leaving behind its skeleton.

"Dammit! This really is Hell!"

Ye Xiao shouted and started preparing to escape this place.

He knew breaking the array was no longer possible. And the Golden Bullet Ant Queen seemed to have already stepped into the Immortal Foundation Realm. This also meant that he had no ability to face this demonic beast.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Ye Xiao realized something and his eyes lit up. His expression also eased up a lot immediately!
