Divine God Against The Heavens

This creature was covered with a layer of black mud that gave off a revolting smell. It was staring straight at Ye Xiao with its small but full black eyes.

"This should be a Fourth Grade Magical Beast." Ye Xiao muttered as he gave the creature an indifferent glance. The current him was completely unconcerned with the likes of a Fourth Grade Magical Beast.

Ye Xiao flicked his finger and an energy bullet filled with spirit energy instantly flew toward that creature. He was already at the Fifth Stage of the Martial King Realm and striking someone with spirit energy was very easy for him.

The energy bullet that he shot toward the magical beast was not any kind of martial arts technique. He just condensed the spirit energy on his finger and shoot it like a bullet.

That magical beast made an odd noise and spat out putrid sludge from its mouth at Ye Xiao's energy bullet.

It was an easy matter for him to deal with a fourth grade magical beast after all he can even kill the fifth grade magical beast very easily with his current strength. He believed that he could deal with this creature by purely relying on his spirit energy.

Bang!

The energy bullet pierced through one of the creature's legs. The creature shrieked in pain and then dived back into the swamp. It splattered the putrid mud everywhere and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Xiao did not give chase or to be more exact, he could not be bothered to give chase to that magical beast. Even if he devoured that creature after killing it, his strength will not increase by much.

Therefore, Ye Xiao no longer paid any heed to the creature and continued moving forward while stepping on the surface of the water.

.....

Ye Xiao had already been wandering about in the Swamp for over half a day.

During this time, he found some medicinal herbs but they were basically only second or third grade. Once in a while, he would find fourth grade spirit herbs as well, but fourth grade spirit herbs were still worthless in current Ye Xiao's eyes.

But still, he plucked out all of these medicinal herbs and planted them on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda after all these herbs will evolve here by one grade easily.

By that time, when the fourth grade medicinal herbs evolved into the fifth grade, they might be useful to him.

As the bottom of his feet was covered with spirit energy, Ye Xiao appeared to be hovering above the water. However, he would still produce noise as he walked on the water's surface.

After walking for a while, Ye Xiao once again found another fourth grade medicinal herb along the way but it was guarded by a snake-like magical beast.

With a better than nothing attitude, Ye Xiao killed the snake-like magical beast that was guarding the medical herb before planting it on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

Crack!

Ka-boom!

Suddenly, he heard a cracking sound and along with this sound, he saw a pillar of red light emerging from the ground and piercing in the sky. At this moment, the entire sky turned red because of that red light.

"What is that pillar of light?"

Ye Xiao could not help but question himself in shock after seeing the pillar of red light.

"Someone must have broken some sort of restriction of someplace. Well, occasionally, when this sort of light pierces in the sky, it means that someone must have broken some sort of restriction of a place where people can find good treasures and opportunities for themselves."

"In my opinion, you should go to that place with a red pillar of light!"

It was the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon who was sleeping all this time suddenly opened its eyes and said.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and immediately moved toward the place from where that pillar of red light emerged out and pierced into the sky.

That pillar of light emerged from very far away from the Swamp where Ye Xiao was searching for some opportunities.

He travelled day and night non-stop as he moved quickly on the mountaintop, occasionally observing the movements below. He completely ignored all the martial artists and Magical Beasts below the Fifth Stage and didn't even spare a glance for them.

Finally, after walking for nearly two hundred kilometres through the night, the sky grew bright and the vast sun shone down, illuminating the entire outline of the figure of some gigantic mountains.

Ye Xiao looked down quietly from where he stood and realized that there was a group of people up ahead who were moving quickly. There were a few figures that were especially familiar to him, no matter how he looked at them.

Actually, he was not familiar with them in any way. He just saw them once on the Ice Mountain before entering the Secret Realm.

When Ye Xiao carefully observed the direction that this group of people were heading and saw that they were also heading toward the place from where that red pillar of light shot toward the sky.

He immediately understood that not only him but all the people inside the Secret Realm might have seen this pillar of light and were moving toward it from all directions.

Ye Xiao immediately rushed out once again. With his own speed to send his entire body forward like a fierce tiger, he moved forward without caring for anything.

That group of people felt something and immediately looked up warily, only to see Ye Xiao landing silently and nimbly on the ground in an instant, shocking everyone to the point that they were all dumbstruck and flabbergasted.

"Ye Xiao?" One of them called out when he saw Ye Xiao's figure. All the people of his group including him were dumbstruck on the spot, unable to move for a moment at all.

"Yes, I am Ye Xiao!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head and did not make any excuse that he is not Ye Xiao but someone else.

"So it turns out that Brother Ye Xiao has come. I, Jiang Yunfei, have always been listening to your name these days."

One of the young men in the group who also looked to be the leader of this group immediately raised his hand with a sincere face and cupped his fists toward Ye Xiao, telling him his name.

Ye Xiao knew what this young man called Jiang Yunfei was talking about.

Previously, in the underground cave, he has received the inheritance of the True Knight Jia Wufeng and after that, he has also gotten five Mystical Rank weapons that flew toward him with their own accords.

There were many people who witnessed those scenes so it was obvious that news about him has spread like fire in the forest.

Naturally, the news about him killing those five people in the underground cave must have also spread out along with the other news because of which, these people did not dare to underestimate him.

Ye Xiao smiled and said: "You flatter me, I am just a nobody."

"Young Master Ye, you're too modest." Jiang Yunfei smiled and said, "Young Master Ye is able to receive the inheritance of a great figure and you also took away five mystical weapons, how can you be just nobody?

As Ye Xiao has expected, the news about him has already spread out. It means that in the future, there must be many troubles that will come looking for him.

At this time, Ye Xiao started to talk business, "Are you guys also rushing to the place from where that red pillar of light emerged out?"

"Yeah, we are heading there!" Jiang Yunfei nodded his head and again started to say, "Brother Ye, are you also going there? If that is the case, how about we move together?"

Ye Xiao thought for a while then nodded his head and said, "Ok, let's head there together."

The strength of Jiang Yunfei's group could be described as uneven. Among them, the strongest was Jiang Yunfei who was at the peak Sixth Stage of the Martial King Realm. There were two people with the strength at the Fourth Stage of Martial King Realm.

As for the rest apart from these three, some were at the Third Stage of the Martial King Realm and some were at the Second Stage of the Martial King Realm.

"Then let's not waste time and head out quickly." Ye Xiao said sternly, and his pace quickened as he once again started to move toward the red pillar of light.

Rumble! Rumble!

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

As they were getting closer to the Everlasting Mountain, a loud rumble could be heard from the direction of the red light. The originally low mountain seemed to have been moved and it started to gradually rise, becoming more and more steep.

After the mountain rose up, another eight red rays of light suddenly rose from all directions from the center.
