Chapter 596 Ch 596: Soul Devouring Worm
The speed at which Blood Devil Spear was absorbing the Blood Essence was very fast, but even so, Blood Essence from the Blood Pool on top of the altar was not showing any sign of decreasing. It was as if there were an unlimited amount of Blood Essence stored.
Ye Xiao could not even think of for how long the demons have been killing people to store so much Blood Essence in the Blood Pool for the Blood Devil Spear to absorb. What he did know was that it must have been at least thousands of years, and they must have killed hundreds of thousands of people to store so much Blood Essence here.
Ye Xiao had waited for more than three hours after laying down the formation but the Blood Devil Spear was still absorbing the Blood Essence and the Blood Essence was not decreasing at all.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao knew that it'll take an extremely long time for the Blood Devil Spear to completely absorb all the Blood Essence from the Blood Pool. And he could not stay here any longer, after all, he still have to go to the depth of Well Of Hell and get his hands on the Divine Weapon wanted by the Sacred Lands.
He was furious over the matter that none of the Sacred Lands informed him or others that they would lose the ability to use their cultivation base inside the Well Of Hell, and will have to start all over once again.
The Well Of Hell was extremely dangerous and starting over everything from zero was something that no one would want to do.
The sacred lands should have told the people who were entering the Well Of Hell, this way, they would not have been deceived at the very least, and would have been prepared beforehand on what to do after entering the Well Of Hell.
Let's forget about other Sacred Lands, Ye Xiao was mostly furious at the Double Sword Sacred Land.
From the way the old man, Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land acted in front of him and seeing his behaviour, Ye Xiao had a good impression of him. He didn't expect the old man to be so shameless and cunning.
All the good impression he had towards the Double Sword Sacred Land immediately vanished from his heart, and what replaced it was only anger. Now, he wanted to have nothing to do with any sacred land anymore.
.....
Ye Xiao could not stay here for long because of two reasons. One, he had to go to the depth of the Well of Hell to get the Divine Weapon wanted by the Sacred Lands, and second, the demons who have gone outside will soon come back to this underground cave.
Although he had already laid down many formations to kill those demons and was also confident in his own strength, Ye Xiao still did not want to face them anymore. He was too bored to fight the demons now. All he wanted now was to take whatever he wants from the Well Of Hell without needing to fight anyone.
But this seemed to be impossible!
"Transform!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao had an idea. He immediately transformed into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon. An extremely huge black dragon with beautiful golden patterns all over its body immediately appeared.
After that, Ye Xiao used his huge claw to dig out the entire altar from the ground and immediately stored it inside the Universe of Heavenly Pearl.
The moment the altar was dug out and disappeared, the entire underground cave trembled violently and in the next moment, many howling sounds echoed, at the same time, countless black chains attacked Ye Xiao that seemed to have shot out from the walls of the underground cave, wanting to bind Ye Xiao here.
This was not the end, exactly at this moment, three beams of black demonic light also shot at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao could feel that these three beams of black demonic light seemed to be very terrifying, and upon collision, he would at least be heavily injured.
"Devouring Law, Devour!"
Ye Xiao was already prepared for that. He didn't look worried, instead, he immediately used the Law of Devouring to devour all three beams of destructive light. At the same time, he also used his other claw to face the black chains.
Although Ye Xiao successfully devoured the three beams of demonic light, he still failed to do anything to the chains. It was not because the chains were extremely strong, it was because there were simply too many chains at this place. He could not shatter all those chains at once.
Because of this, the chains successfully bound Ye Xiao's draconic figure.
But was Ye Xiao really that easy to deal with?
In the next moment, another wave of Devouring Law spread but this time, it seemed to have been directed at the black chains. If it was only simple devouring, it would have been impossible for Ye Xiao to devour so many chains at once.
Fortunately, he had comprehended the Law of Swallowing. There was nothing in the entire world that the Law of Swallowing could not swallow.
Because of this Law, all the black chains that seemed to be connected with the walls of the underground cave were devoured by Ye Xiao. These chains didn't even get the opportunity to resist before they were swallowed by Ye Xiao.
After that, Ye Xiao transformed back to his human form before flying away at an incredible speed with the help of Wings of Divine Dragon.
Maybe, because all the chains were devoured by Ye Xiao instantly, even the underground cave had been stunned, forgetting about making the next move. Only after Ye Xiao ran away for five minutes that the underground cave once again tremble violently, as if it was roaring in anger, and in the next moment, magma started erupting inside the underground cave.
Surprisingly, although the magma was erupting inside the underground cave, the outside world seemed to be unaffected by it. There was no difference in the outside world from before.
Not long after, Ye Xiao jumped out from the underground cave, ready to live in this place.
As for the underground cave, it soon started crumbling. As if the alter was its backbone, now that its backbone was taken away by Ye Xiao, it started collapsing at an incredible speed.
Because the underground cave collapsed, Ye Xiao's hard work of laying down the illusion formation, killing formation, and space lock formation was wasted.
Without stopping, Ye Xiao immediately left the place. He did not want any demon to see him at this place. But just as he left the place, he sensed many powerful auras coming from all four directions. As if many powerful beings were rushing back after sensing something have happened at this place.
Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense and found a perfect place to hide. It was a huge boulder about five meters tall, that's surroundings were covered with dense grasses. Well, these were no ordinary grasses, each blade of these grasses here was at least three feet long, hiding more than half of the boulder inside their embrace.
Ye Xiao did not waste time, he immediately hide the boulder and with the help of his Divine Sense, he started everything.
Not long after, one after another, many demons started appearing. Very soon, fifteen demons appeared. Ye Xiao saw that this group was not made of only demons, there were also three demonic cultivators present here.
What surprised him was that he was familiar with one of the three demonic cultivators. He was Zhang Danfeng, the envoy who brought him and other candidates from the Immortal Star World to the Great Martial World to participate in the Competition of Myriad World.
He didn't expect to meet him at this place. He also didn't expect Zhang Danfeng to have something to do with the Blood Devil Spear.
A smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "This time, I'm not gonna let you go. You will definitely die here!"
Muttering this, Ye Xiao started observing other demons and demonic cultivators. He took note of another point that among the twelve demons, nine of them were just puppets without any soul.
As for the three demonic cultivators, they were not puppets, at least, not yet.
Ye Xiao thought like this because he noticed a bug the size of a fingernail, on the back of the three demonic cultivators' necks. He saw a demon secretly putting this bug on the back of their neck right now.
Ye Xiao immediately recognized the bug. This bug was called Soul Devouring Worm. It is said that Soul Devouring Bug has the ability to devour the soul and then, it could control its prey's after entering into their mind.
Through the Soul Devouring Bug, the original owner could not only control the body of a person, that person could also communicate with others, and could see what the puppet was seeing.
