Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao still remembered the voice that rang out in his mind when he first inherited the Heavenly Pearl. That voice told him, He was not allowed to bow his head in front of anyone. He was not allowed to run away from dangers. He was the owner of himself and his own destiny.

No one has the right to look down on him!

At that time, Ye Xiao swore if Devil blocked his path, he'll cut the Devil into thousands of pieces, if God blocked his path, he'll kill the God, and if Heavens opposed him and hinder his path towards the peak of Martial Arts, he'll destroy the Heavens.

Since he vowed such a heavy oath, why was he hesitating to decide whether to withdraw from the Competition of Myriad Worlds or continue participating in the competition, go to the Demon World and face the demons head-on?

Since he swore if a Devil blocked his path, he'll cut the Devil into thousand pieces, why was he shrinking back from going to the Demon World?

No, he'll definitely not back off here. He'll definitely participate in the Competition of Myriad Worlds.

Although the First Round of this Competition might bring him to his demise, he'll not fall back. He'll face his death with his head raised high. He'll not bring shame to the name Ancestral Dragon.

Ye Xiao knew these Ancestral Dragons have some expectations regarding him and they needed him to do something for them in the future. He'll definitely live up to their expectation and not betray their trust.

If he falls back here, he'll not only break their trust in him, he'll also betray his own conscience.

If he really withdrew from the competition and did not go to the Demon World, facing all the demons and danger with pride and arrogance, he'll disappoint the Ancestral Dragons, Little Yellow, and even the Spirit of Universe in his mind greatly.

And these were the last thing he'll ever let happen.

Ye Xiao immediately raised his head, looked at the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land, and said, "I'll not withdraw from the competition. I'll participate. Even if countless demons will chase me down, corner me and kill me, I'll still go to the Demon World face my death with my head high. I'll definitely not shrink my head back just because a great danger is opening its mouth in front of me, wanting to swallow me down."

"Even if I'm going to face my death, I'll still kill thousands of demons before dying. I, Ye Xiao, will not regret my decision and definitely not withdraw from the competition!"

"Hahahaha!"

When the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land heard Ye Xiao's decision and his resolve, he started laughing loudly like a madman. He laughed and laughed and then said, "Good good! I thought you'll choose to not participate in the competition and save yourself from the danger of death. I didn't expect you to make such a decision. But....."

Looking at Ye Xiao with shining eyes, the old man continued his speech, "But, do you know, bravery and stupidity are two different things. Fighting head-on against an enemy, exchanging wounds and injuries with each other, even at the price of sacrificing one's own life just to save the life of loved ones is bravery. But, knowing the death is certain and still going to sacrifice life just to satisfy your own words and pride is stupidity."

"You still have more than twenty days of time. Think it through. Come and find me before the First Round of the Competition and tell me your decision."

"Go! Go now!"

The old man waved his hand as waves of wind circled in the room and enveloped Ye Xiao, causing him to raise his hand and put them in front of his face.

When the wind died down, Ye Xiao removed his hand from the front of his face and saw that he has unknowingly arrived on the First Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion.

"That old man... is really too powerful!"

Ye Xiao sighed and muttered.

Let alone resisting, he didn't even know how the old man sent him to the First Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion.

The old man's last words rang out in his mind. He knew the old man was telling him to think once again for his own good. But Ye Xiao definitely will not change the decision he made.

He still remembered the words of Little Yellow.

She told him once that the enemy he'll face in the future will only become stronger and stronger. He has to become stronger by facing all his enemies head-on because his true enemy is not any human, demon, or people of other races. His true enemy was Heaven itself.

In front of the power of Heaven, what was the Demon Race? If Heavens want, it could destroy the entire sky and earth with just one gaze, just like how it destroyed the Secret Realm.

If Ye Xiao was not lucky and jumped into the black hole, landing on the Holy Beast Continent, he would have long died!

So what if he was facing the entire Demon Race, he'll kill as many as come. If some powerful demons came whom he can not kill, he'll just hide inside the Universe in his mind and increase his strength.

When he'll become strong enough to kill those powerful Demons, he'll come back and continue to kill the demons.

As the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land said, bravery and stupidity are two different things. Fighting the Demons whom he could kill or at least exchange wounds and injuries with them is bravery.

And exactly like this, retreating in the face of danger where death is certain, is also bravery.

So what if he hide inside the Universe in his mind for a while, he was going to hide so that he can return with more power. He'll hide so that he can spread terror in the hearts of the Demons with his increased strength. He'll hide so that he can terrorize the entire Demon Race, to the point where no Demon will dare to even think of hunting him down.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, his hands were still clenched tightly. Letting out the breath he just took, he turned around and left the Double Sword Pavilion with resolve in his mind.

Yes, he'll come back to the Double Sword Pavilion. Yes, he'll again meet the old man. But his decision will not change. He'll not withdraw from the Competition of the Myriad World. He'll definitely participate in the competition and go to the Demon World.

.....

On the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion, the old man slowly extended his hand, held the two swords that were stabbed on the floor, and yanked it out.

"Clang!"

A metallic sound rang out and a terrifying Sword Intent burst out from the sword. Invisible blades swarmed the entire room, causing hundreds of deep sword scars to immediately appear on the walls of the room.

But the surprising thing was, even though the sword scar on the wall was deep, to the point where only a very thin layer was left, otherwise, the other side of the wall could be seen from inside, the wall didn't crumble.

The old man looked at the sword lovingly, rubbed both swords against each other, causing sparks to fly. Then he thought something deeply before muttering in low voice, "That brat is something else. That resolve in his eyes, that determination on his face... just amazing! Even though he already knew he'll be going to the Demon World if he didn't withdraw from the competition, he still want to participate. He wants to face the danger of his death, those countless demons, head-on. Even if he dies, he wants to die with pride and arrogance."

"Haha... He is the perfect man to enter that place. We, Leaders of Sacred Lands, have decided that each of us will send ten men to 'that' place. Although my underlings have already chosen ten people to go to 'that' place, I'll definitely give one slot to Ye Xiao. Of course, only if his decision will still be the same at our next meeting!"

"Haha boy, Ye Xiao, I'm waiting for our next meeting. Don't disappoint me!"

.....

Wu Feng saw Ye Xiao leaving the Double Sword Pavilion with a serious face. He wanted to stop Ye Xiao and ask what he and the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land talked about, looking at Ye Xiao's serious face, he didn't stop him.

Anyway, he was not qualified to delve into the matter of Ye Xiao and the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land.

But, he did want to go and tell the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land that Ye Xiao was one of the ten chosen men who'll enter 'that' place, representing the Double Sword Sacred Land.

When Ye Xiao's figure disappeared from his sight, this bald middle-aged man walked fastly and arrived in front of the room where the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land was staying.
