King Of Chaos

Ye Xiao continued to gaze at the treasures, while Fang Yun continued explaining about them.

Transitioning from one spacious hall to another inside the treasury, Ye Xiao had to admit that this treasury lived up to its name; it was filled with all kinds of treasures.

Upon entering the fifth spacious hall, Ye Xiao finally found what he had come for. In fact, if not for the remaining Lotus of Chaos, he might not have found it at all. The Rule Source Crystal was sealed inside a strange wooden box, preventing even a hint of its aura from leaking out. Even Ye Xiao's attempt to use his Divine Sense to penetrate the box was unsuccessful, as it was sealed with layers upon layers of Divine Inscriptions.

Seeing Ye Xiao focused on the strange little box, Fang Yun spoke, "This is a kind of Mystery Box my father found when he was still just an ordinary Chaos Overlord Saint Realm beast."

"This mystery box has a few unique features. Firstly, there is its appearance and the Divine Inscriptions that restrict all kinds of prying eyes from seeing what has been kept inside. Secondly, every thousand years, a surge of mysterious energy filled with the power of rules bursts from this box. At that time, everyone could feel much closer to comprehending the Rules of Chaos than ever. However, my father thinks this might be the work of these Divine Inscriptions instead of the thing inside."

"Nevertheless, this also proves the true value of the treasure that could be found inside this box. It must be a very unique and excellent treasure. Unfortunately, my father was never able to open this box by any means necessary. So the thing inside is still a mystery."

Fang Yun spoke a little more and looked at Ye Xiao, hoping for Ye Xiao to be captivated by this mysterious treasure and choose it.

Why did he want Ye Xiao to choose this treasure?

Because no matter how valuable a treasure is, if it is unusable, it becomes useless.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, had a motive from the very start. He entered the treasury for the sole reason of obtaining the Rule Source Crystal. Since the Rule Source Crystal was inside this strange little box, he would obviously choose it.

"I like the uniqueness you talked about this treasure. I'll take it then!"

A smile blossomed on Fang Yun's face. He had been waiting for this response for a long time already. He was in a hurry to make Ye Xiao leave the treasury.

Although he got the permission of his mother, this was still his father's treasury. He was sure that his father would be angered by his now-taken action. How could he not be in a hurry?

Yes, this box was still a mystery. But, this mystery might remain unsolved forever. It would be better if Ye Xiao could take it away. This way, the treasury would not lose any known and rare treasures.

With Fang Yun nodding his head, Ye Xiao took the strange little box and threw it inside his universe, to the Lotus of Chaos.

As for taking out the Rule Source Crystal from this box, Ye Xiao left this work for the Lotus of Chaos to do.

After all, the Lotus of Chaos was the core of Ye Xiao's universe. As long as something or someone is inside the universe, they can be controlled and manipulated by the Lotus of Chaos at will. This includes easily breaking any restriction at will.

Ye Xiao could do the same since he is the master of the universe.

Now that Ye Xiao has obtained the Rule Source Crystal, Fang Yun's promise was also fulfilled. It was time for him to leave this Land.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes again, his face reflected a determined expression.

'It is time to visit the Land of Nine Hells.'

Ye Xiao muttered silently in his heart before looking at Fang Yun to say goodbye.

As it turned out, the Rule Source Crystal hidden inside the strange little box was actually a Space Source Crystal. It was indeed a very rare Rule Source Crystal that Ye Xiao obtained after the Gravity Source Crystal.

Without a second thought, Ye Xiao chose to let the Lotus of Chaos absorb this Rule Source Crystal so that he could obtain the power to manipulate space at will.

Just like before, when the fusion started, his universe underwent a major transformation. At the same time, streams of information appeared in Ye Xiao's mind. This was the comprehension of the Space Source Crystal.

At first, it was just the Rule of Space. When Ye Xiao's understanding of the Rule of Space reached 100%, it transformed into the Profound Truth of Space.

This period of comprehension only stopped after Ye Xiao comprehended the 10% Profound Truth of Space.

"I can now do many things that were impossible before!"

Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice and directly teleported to the void.

However, unlike before, there was no platform for Ye Xiao to land on. After all, Ye Xiao came to this Land on Fang Yun's flying ship. He had left the platform in the void beyond the Land of Yellow Spring.

The moment Ye Xiao appeared in the void, berserk Chaos Energy came like a storm at him, wanting to invade his body and destroy him within seconds.

Fortunately, nothing like that happened. The berserk Chaos Energy was forced to stop more than ten meters away from Ye Xiao because of an invisible field. This was a Spatial Energy Field that Ye Xiao created by manipulating Spatial Force.

With a bright smile on his face, Ye Xiao disappeared.

╠ Land of Nine Hells ╣

After a few teleportations, Ye Xiao finally arrived at the Land of Nine Hells.

The Land of Nine Hells was a desolate expanse comprising nine layers, each extending downward like separate worlds, teeming with countless lives.

However, these inhabitants were not humans but rather Abyssals, peculiar creatures dwelling in this foreboding land. Ye Xiao's singular objective in coming to this Land was to locate the Blood Source Crystal, eliminate every Abyssal, and let the Infinity Edge Blade absorb every bit of Abyssal Energy so that it could evolve.

Talking about the Infinity Edge Blade, Ye Xiao was doing this because of the advice he received from Ling Xiaolong at the End of the Void.

As for the Celestial Glory Blade, after Ye Xiao returned, this blade was nowhere to be seen. However, Ye Xiao could still feel its presence beside his own body for some mysterious reason.

Upon his arrival, Ye Xiao landed on the First Layer of Nine Hells.

The surroundings were filled with fierce-looking creatures, beings that appeared both strange and inhuman. They were Abyssals. The atmosphere in this realm was saturated with a sinister trinity of bloody, evil, and infernal auras.

The inhabitants of this land were a far cry from the humans Ye Xiao was accustomed to encountering. Their forms were twisted and alien. Ye Xiao pressed forward with determination while ignoring the eerie surroundings.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

The moment Abyssals saw Ye Xiao, they started roaring and pounced at him, intending to kill him.

Ye Xiao smiled and muttered, "Come at me!"

With a wave, the Infinity Edge Blade appeared in his hand. The instant this blade appeared, it started trembling in excitement. It could feel the Abyssal Energy filling the world. It started hungrily devouring this energy.

At the same time, Ye Xiao slashed out.

He did not execute any combat skill; it was just a normal slash. However, for the Abyssals on the First Layer of Nine Hells, this slash was a soul-reaping slash.

With just a single slash, countless lives were gone.

The first Layer of Nine Hells was filled with the weakest Abyssals. Ye Xiao simply released his Divine Sense, enveloped the entire First Layer, and destroyed every Abyssal's soul with his "Soul Destruction" ability.

At the same time, he found the door to the Second Layer of Nine Hells.

Ye Xiao then left the Infinity Edge Blade on the First Layer and went to the second Layer.

As Ye Xiao traversed the Second Layer, his senses were bombarded by the grotesque sight of creatures with features beyond the scope of familiarity.

He ignored these creatures and killed every one of them by destroying their souls.

These creatures possess no challenge to the current Ye Xiao.

Just like that, Ye Xiao passed through the Third Layer and the Fourth Layer, and finally arrived at the Fifth Layer.

As far as Ye Xiao knew, the Blood Source Crystal was located somewhere on the Fifth Layer.

Once again, he released the powerful Divine Sense and enveloped the entire floor, killing all the creatures in an instant.

At the same time, he located the Blood Source Crystal floating above a small pool of blood at the far edge of the floor, in a secluded and sealed area.
