Chapter 752: Ambition to Become a Celestial Sovereign

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Ye Xiao was thinking, two figures suddenly flew over from afar at high speed.

“This is… ?”

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment before immediately using the Golden Book divine soul to block his aura.

The Golden Book divine soul had possessed that ability a long time ago. Once it blocked his aura, even the heavenly tribulation would not be able to find him.

When he blocked his own aura, two figures arrived beside him in the blink of an eye.

Those two figures had just arrived. When they saw Ye Xiao, they could not help but be stunned.

That was because the two of them would release their divine senses before they came. Almost everything within a trillion miles in front of them would not be able to escape their detection.

However, when they came there, they saw Ye Xiao. That fellow did not appear in their divine senses earlier, so they naturally could not help but be a little surprised.

There was only one concept for such a situation to happen, and that was that Ye Xiao was much stronger than the two of them. That was why he had the means to hide his aura so that the two of them could not see it.

The two of them instantly became vigilant.

“This fellow’s cultivation is so strong. Why have I never seen him before?”

“If my guess is correct, this fellow is most likely Ye Xiao!”

......

“What? He’s Ye Xiao?”

Hearing his companion’s words, the other Sacred Sovereign was instantly shocked.

Clearly, he was still somewhat fearful of the name Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was also rather surprised.

From the other party’s expression, the other party should be very familiar with his information. That also meant that they might have been hiding in the dark for a very long time.

That group of people was really sneaky.

He did not know much about them, yet they had practically already obtained his information secretly.

He had been quite invisible in the past, but because of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect’s matter, he was unable to continue concealing his identity. Thus, he had no choice but to stay in the open.

Otherwise, they might be the ones being schemed against at that moment.

However, it did not matter. In the past, he did not know of their existence, so he had not thought of getting to know them.

Yet, after he knew about them, it was not too late to start understanding them.

After all, from the current situation, there should not be too many cultivators among them.

If not, they would have already come knocking on his door and caused trouble for him. They would not be afraid to fight him head-on.

“Then what should we do now?”

While the two of them were still discussing countermeasures, Ye Xiao had already made his move.

It was not that he was afraid of making the first move to gain the upper hand, but rather Ye Xiao wanted to capture them alive and obtain some useful information from them.

The situation where that fellow self-destructed the last time was still deeply imprinted in Ye Xiao’s mind.

At that time, no matter what, he could not let them self-destruct.

Sensing the aura that Ye Xiao released, the expressions of the two could not help but change drastically in an instant.

“What else can we do? Run!”

The other person spoke decisively and immediately began to flee in a direction.

The Sacred Sovereign who spoke earlier did not delay any longer. With a thought, he also teleported and disappeared from the spot.

He was escaping in another direction.

As Sacred Sovereigns, they had lived for an unknown number of years since ancient times. They were also very experienced in battle.

If they escaped separately, they could easily pin down Ye Xiao.

If he wanted to catch up, he could only choose one of them. That way, at least one of them would be able to escape successfully, thus ensuring that the losses would be minimized.

However, the two of them had clearly overestimated their own combat experience. Similarly, they had also greatly underestimated Ye Xiao’s strength.

The instant before they had the time to move, which was also the instant Ye Xiao made his move, he had already thought of what would happen in front of him. Hence, he made his move at the same time, locking down the surrounding space. Furthermore, at the same time, he made his move. He directly split his strength into two parts and corresponded to those two Sacred Sovereigns respectively.

Due to his combat strength far surpassing the other party, his attack instantly controlled the two Sacred Sovereigns on the spot.

The expressions of the two Sacred Sovereigns instantly changed drastically.

“Not good!”

“It’s over!”

At the same time the two of them spoke, the restriction in their bodies seemed to have sensed something and instantly triggered an explosion, wanting to completely destroy the spirit and will of the two of them.

Unfortunately, that was also completely within Ye Xiao’s expectations.

Therefore, he directly used the Void celestial art to suppress them.

Ye Xiao was betting that the person behind the other party, or rather, the person who created that spiritual imprint, was only a Celestial Sovereign.

If the other party had the cultivation of the Ancestral Dragon, it was likely that even if he used the Void celestial art, he would not be able to suppress the other party.

Fortunately, the heavens finally helped him and prevented him from losing face.

The Void celestial art suppressed the restriction in the bodies of the two people in an instant.

A hint of extreme fear surged onto the faces of the two Sacred Sovereigns on the spot.

The two of them were naturally afraid of being caught by Ye Xiao because if they were caught by Ye Xiao, the restriction in their bodies would be triggered. The degree of the restriction was clearer to the two of them than to anyone else. Once it was triggered, there was no way to reverse it, the two of them were doomed to die without a doubt.

In the end, even though the restriction was suppressed at the moment, one could imagine just how terrifying Ye Xiao’s strength was.

Would there still be a good outcome if it fell into Ye Xiao’s hands?

It would probably be even more unbearable than death.

That was the reason why the two of them were so terrified!

It was over. At that time, the two of them would probably be living a life worse than death.

However, what surprised the two of them was that Ye Xiao did not touch the two of them at all. With just a glance, he immediately started to scan their memories on the spot.

Their cultivation was far from being as strong as Ye Xiao’s, so they could only be controlled in front of him and could not move at all.

A layer of bitterness could not help but rise in the two of their hearts.

They were there originally because they wanted to take the World Creation fragment that Sacred Sovereign Shi Fang had thrown down and use it to raise their own strength.

Otherwise, with so many high-level cultivators in the alliance, the two of them would not have fought over it specially.

In the end, they did not expect to be taken down by someone just as they arrived. Furthermore, their memories were even searched.

Was there anything more tragic than that?

After Ye Xiao obtained the memories of the two of them, many things that he did not understand were finally resolved.

Among them, there were many parts that were indeed as Sacred Sovereign Shang had said. They were indeed using the World Creation fragment to increase their cultivation.

Furthermore, there was indeed an organization. That organization network of theirs originated from the immemorial era.

At that time, almost all of them were at the level of a Sacred Sovereign. Even the weakest among them had to be at the peak of the third-level Imperial Immortal realm.

That was because only when one’s cultivation base reached the peak of the third-level Imperial Immortal realm would they be able to use their techniques to obtain the World Creation fragment.

Basically, they were all ordinary people from the primordial immortal world. Although their cultivation bases could reach the level of a Sacred Sovereign, it was simply too common in the immemorial era. They could not be considered powerful geniuses at all.

Some of them wanted to increase their strength and obtain a stronger cultivation, so they could only use that evil method to control others.

However, there were still some among them who were indeed top-grade geniuses!

Some of them were even defeated by Sacred Sovereign Shang. Since they were unwilling to follow him, they joined that organization.

Other than that, there were even more people who joined them because they were affected by the special effects of that kind of cultivation technique.

Through analyzing their memories, Ye Xiao discovered the method they used to plunder the World Creation fragment. It was a special method similar to the celestial art, but it was not completely the celestial art.

That technique was much stronger than the Discord sacred art that Sacred Sovereign Shang had formed by fusing many sacred arts together.

In addition, Ye Xiao himself possessed the true celestial art, the Void celestial art. Hence, he could easily identify that it was a small portion of another celestial art.

It possessed a special differentiation and infectious power, and it was extremely powerful.

It was precisely because of that special attribute that it was able to bewitch so many Sacred Sovereigns in succession!

After so many years of development, there were already many high-level cultivators in that organization. There might even be a terrifying existence with the Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures.

Right at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a special spiritual energy affecting him.

That spiritual energy was once again trying to invade his will.

Its erosive ability was very powerful. In the blink of an eye, it actually caused Ye Xiao’s spiritual energy to pause for a moment.

At that moment, the suppression of the two SacredSovereigns immediately loosened.

The two of them broke free but did not choose to escape. Instead, they turned around with a smile and looked at Ye Xiao, who was in a stalemate.

“This fellow still doesn’t know how powerful we are! He probably thinks that our strongest technique is the cultivation technique that we are currently displaying.

“Little did he know that our strongest technique is the invasion of spiritual energy from our bodies!

“As long as you stay around our bodies for a moment, you might be invaded by our spiritual energy. No matter how strong your cultivation is, it’s very difficult to defend against it.”

“This is great. Not only can we successfully complete the mission, but we can also capture a high-level cultivator and rope Ye Xiao into our camp. From now on, in this universe, we will no longer have any enemies that we are afraid of.

“Moreover, with him, our progress should be much faster. When that time comes… Hehehe… The Celestial Sovereign will definitely reward us heavily.”

However, just as the two of them were laughing complacently, Ye Xiao’s eyes flickered. He directly made a move and once again suppressed the two of them.

The expressions of those two people instantly changed. No one had expected such a situation to actually happen.

“How is this possible? He actually managed to break free from the mental suppression.”

“I don’t believe it. This must be a dream. This fellow simply can not do it.”

The reason why they did not believe it was because their methods were not aimed at a person that was stronger than them. Whether or not you had talent, it depended on whether or not you had the strength.

If your strength was sufficiently strong, there was naturally a chance to break free from the mental infection.

However, Ye Xiao only had a strong aptitude. His cultivation was far from reaching the Sacred Sovereign with twelve apertures.

That was also why they were afraid of Sacred Sovereign Shang in the past, but later on, they would not be afraid of Ye Xiao!

That was because Sacred Sovereign Shang was a Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures. Even if his true strength had not recovered to the Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures, at least his primordial soul was the Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures, and he could easily resist the mental energy infection.

Moreover, Sacred Sovereign Shang was already capable of fighting across ranks. If the mental energy infection could not affect him, coupled with his ability to fight across ranks, even if those Sacred Sovereigns were powerful enough, they still would not dare to provoke Sacred Sovereign Shang.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao had a very high aptitude, but his primordial soul was not the primordial soul of a Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures. They still had a chance to successfully infect him. Therefore, although they were also afraid of Ye Xiao, they were not as afraid of Sacred Sovereign Shang as they were of him.

Another reason was that they were afraid that if they appeared earlier, Sacred Sovereign Shang and Ye Xiao would join forces.

Therefore, after Sacred Sovereign Shang was killed by Ye Xiao, they dared to be a little more presumptuous and continued to plunder the World Creation fragment.

In fact, their mental infection was indeed very powerful.

When Ye Xiao had just arrived in that area, he was slightly affected by the mental energy of the Sacred Sovereigns with eight apertures after Sacred Sovereign Shang died. At that point, facing those two Sacred Sovereign with eight or nine apertures, a slightly stronger existence, the impact was even more serious.

However, even he himself had not expected that the instant that cultivation technique affected his mental strength, the Golden Book divine soul actually began to circulate.

Combined with the Void celestial art, it actually directly devoured that special cultivation technique and then recorded it into the Golden Book divine soul.

The Sacred Light celestial art!

That was its name!

It meant that everyone who saw it would be infected by its power!

When Ye Xiao saw it, he realized that his guess was indeed correct. That celestial art was very likely to have been transmitted from another universe. It was too evil.

In the next second when it was recorded into the Golden Book divine soul, the Void celestial art directly swallowed it alive!

That also meant that from then on, its characteristics would be swallowed by the Void celestial art!

Not only did the Void celestial art possess its power, but it also possessed the power to resist and be immune to it.

From then on, it would no longer be able to affect Ye Xiao.

That was also why Ye Xiao would wake up in a very short period of time.

He had already completely controlled that energy.

He was many times stronger than the other Sacred Sovereigns. The others were all swallowed by that special energy and had their consciousness controlled. From a certain perspective, they were not much different from puppets.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao had turned that kind of power into his own tool and used it for himself.

The difference between the two sides was immediately determined.

The two Sacred Sovereigns were captured by Ye Xiao and were mercilessly killed before they could figure out why that happened.

Following that, Ye Xiao directly absorbed the powers of the two of them into his sacred body and let the Void celestial art slowly refine them.

After doing all of that, Ye Xiao’s thoughts landed in the starry sky.

After he devoured that celestial art, he was already completely immune to the powers of that celestial art.

However, other than that point, he also obtained another ability.

That was, the celestial art could sense other cultivation, or rather, it could be said to be infected with the existence of the same celestial art!

Those are all Sacred Sovereigns!

‘If all of them are devoured… I should be able to advance again soon, right?’
