The duplicate attacked with the World Exterminating Claw but at this time, Ye Xiao turned and took two steps forward before making a backflip. While still in mid-air, Ye Xiao took out the Infinity Edge Blade and slashed at the duplicate.
The duplicate wanted to dodge but Ye Xiao's speed was fast and the duplicate was cut in half before transforming into smoke.
Then Ye Xiao saw the smoke gathering on top of the altar and transformed into the previous kneeling grey figure.
The next moment, everything vanished and Ye Xiao once again found himself standing in the White Space.
The White Figure appeared and said, "Congratulations on passing the Third Stage of the First Trial. With this, you have passed the First Trial. This is the map of the Second Trial. You have to increase your strength and ascend to the Divine Realm before you could take the Second Trial!"
Ye Xiao took the map and saw it was blank. Yes, there was nothing on the map.
The White Figure explained, "When you'll ascend to the Divine Realm, the map will automatically show as well as guide you to the location of the Second Trial!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "Can I ask now?"
Seeing the White Figure nodding his head, Ye Xiao asked, "Previously, you told me that a person could experience his entire life in the Second Stage of the trial, but I didn't, why?"
The White Figure didn't say anything for a few seconds. He first took two steps to the side and then said, "It is because you were not going through the direction of your fate. As I told you, in your true fate, you were destined to never take revenge for the death of your Fifth Elder Ye Fan of the Silver Moon Sect. But, because of the memories of three Ancient Gods, you defied your own fate even in the trial, causing the trial to end in mid-way after you broke through and transformed into a Divine Being!"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao nodded his head. He understood everything now. There were still some questions that he wanted to ask, but the information he came across today was already too much for him to handle. So, he decided against his heart and didn't ask any questions anymore.
The White Figure then said, "Every Trial has some rewards. The reward for passing the First Trial is this!"
The White Figure took out a small transparent bottle. This small bottle was half-filled with red liquid.
"What is this? Blood?" Ye Xiao asked!
The White Figure replied, "This is the blood essence of an undying phoenix. There are a total of six drops of blood essence inside it. You can use it however you want!"
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was indeed a treasure.
Inside the second stage of the First Trial, Ye Xiao came to know that Xue Xiaofei has the Dark Phoenix Bloodline. This blood essence could help her a lot. But Ye Xiao was not planning to give her all. He planned to give her only four drops of blood essence. As for the other two drops, he decided to use them for himself.
He was confident that with these two drops of Undying Phoenix's Blood Essence, he could completely cultivate the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and become one with the Blood Slaughter Abyssal Dragon!
"Thanks!" Ye Xiao stored the small bottle inside his spatial ring and bowed to thank the white figure.
The white figure nodded his head and waved his hand, causing Ye Xiao to appear outside the huge bronze door.
There, he saw Pygon lazing around with his head down, as if it was sleeping. But Ye Xiao knew that Pygon was not sleeping, it was like this only because it had nothing to do.
"Huh? You are out, it means you have passed the trial!"
When Pygon sensed Ye Xiao's arrival, it lazily raised its head and asked.
In response, Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I've passed the trial!"
Pygon nodded. Pygon had already expected this so it was not surprising. It then said, "If you are ready, I'll send you outside!"
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, Pygon waved one of its claws and Ye Xiao appeared on top of the Mountain, at the border of the lake that was filled with living green liquid.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath after arriving outside, looked at the distance in the sky, and then started climbing down the mountain on his foot instead of flying down.
Right now, he was climbing down the other side of the mountain and was planning to enter the Lifeless Forest.
All the trees in this forest were dried-up completely and there was not a single trace of life in the entire forest, hence Ye Xiao decided to call it Lifeless Forest.
.....
After transporting Ye Xiao outside, Pygon opened the bronze door and entered. But... Instead of appearing in the White Space, Pygon appeared in a big hall that was supported with four pillars. This was the place where Ye Xiao went through the Third Stage of the First Trial.
But this time, there were more things inside the big hall instead of just an altar in the middle.
There was a high stage where five thrones were placed. On top of the throne at the second position in the left from the middle-one, an old man was sitting.
The White Figure was also standing below the stage, looking at the old man.
If Ye Xiao was here, he could have immediately recognized this old man. This old man was none other than Yuan Shi De.
When Pygon appeared here, the old man finally said, "From now on, the door of the First Trial will be closed forever!"
"What? Why?" Pygon asked. Then, as if he understood something, he said, "Are you sure about that kid? I mean, what if he failed to pass all the five trials?"
"No!" The old man shook his head and said, "He will definitely pass all five trials. His fate is something that could not be seen or told, it is up to him how he wants his fate to be! He will decide his own fate. So, no one can say if he could pass all five trials or not."
"But I sensed many questions in his heart and some of them are even related to our Primordial Race. Moreover, he is destined to go against the Heavens. So, he'll definitely try his best to acquire the body of my Primordial Race and use the abilities Primordial Race."
"And... Since he is the one chosen by the Second Universe, he is definitely not someone who will give up the trial in the mid-way. Also, he could actually transform into World Exterminating Demon Dragon. None of the Ancestral Dragon ever had any descendent, but it is only rumor after all. I think this brat is the descendent of the World Exterminating Demon Dragon and a human."
"Wait wait wait wait!" Pygon immediately transformed into human form and asked, "Lord Yuan Shi De, what did you say just now? That boy is the one chosen by the Second Universe and he is also the descendent of World Exterminating Demon Dragon!"
Yuan Shi De nodded his head and said, "Yes! I said exactly what you heard!"
"How is this possible?" Pygon asked in shock, "Moreover, how could he be the descendent of World Exterminating Demon Dragon and a human? Didn't the World Exterminating Demon Dragon and other ancestral dragons died before the end of the Great War?"
Yuan Shi De shook his head and replied, "None of the ancestral dragons actually died. At an extremely critical moment, all the ancestral dragons were sucked inside the Second Universe and it was also at that moment when the Second Universe disappeared and did not appear till this day. But now, it is going to appear again through this boy!"
"As for the other matter, I never said he was the son of World Exterminating Demon Dragon, I said Ye Xiao must be the descendent of World Exterminating Demon Dragon."
"Many eons have passed since the end of the Primordial Era. The bloodline of World Exterminating Demon Dragon must have been preserved till now and Ye Xiao is the son of one of the descendent of World Exterminating Demon Dragon and a human. This must be the reason why he was chosen by the Second Universe and why he could transform into World Exterminating Demon Dragon!"
"But..." Yuan Shi De looked at the other two and said in a soft voice as if he was muttering to himself, "Why do I feel that something is off. It is as if the matter is not as simple as it seems to be on the surface, as if there is something different about Ye Xiao. There is definitely something off, I need to investigate."
