"Buzz!"
As Ye Xiao had dodged the attack of Evil Eye, the existence in the altar seemed to have been enraged. A strange fluctuation slowly resounded.
After that, all the patterns in the core of the altar began to gather together.
"Boom!"
Following a loud sound, a strange creature appeared in front of Ye Xiao. This creature was floating in the void. It was glowing with a black and purple light as if there was a hellfire burning around it. Its body was covered in dense scales and at the center of its body, there was a black hole.
The gap in the center of the creature slowly opened and closed. It was as if it had a pupil that had locked onto Ye Xiao.
Looking closely, Ye Xiao found out that this was actually not a creature but an eye, an extremely evil eye. And the black-hole was actually the pupil of this Evil Eye.
Moreover, there was a strange light flickering continuously on the eye's outer part that was covered with dense scale. The terrifying ray of light just now had clearly burst out from this part.
Looking at this strange eye that was only the size of a head, Ye Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. This evil aura on the opponent's body was simply too dense.
"What the... What the hell is this thing?"
Ye Xiao was shocked. He could not help but take two steps back. He had a feeling that if he dared to take even a single step forward, the Evil Eye will attack him and he doesn't have the strength to resist this Evil Eye's strength.
Furthermore, Ye Xiao could feel the same aura from this Evil Eye that he felt from the Heart of Demon Monarch. It was as if this Evil Eye was also one of the Eyes of Demon Monarch.
"Buzz!"
Another strange fluctuation suddenly appeared beside Ye Xiao. A bright light flashed and a beautiful lady appeared. It was Queen!
"I didn't expect to come across an Ancient Demon so soon!" Queen muttered.
Ye Xiao had heard the term Ancient Demon many times now. Although he doesn't know what an Ancient Demon was, he did guess that Ancient Demon must be demons who appeared in the ancient era.
"Ancient Demon? Do you know what this Ancient Demon is?"
Queen took a deep breath and replied, "Ancient Demons are the first evil being to ever appear. They have no size no shape and no soul. The only thing they have is a body but... Since they have no fixed shape, their bodies seemed to have been made up of black gases that exudes an extremely evil aura. They could live, they could talk, and they could cultivate. They are born to bring destruction to the world. There is nothing eviler than these Ancient Demons."
"Just like Demons, after breaking past the Dao Manifestation Realm, they transformed into Ancient Devils. They are just too terrifying and also the mortal enemies of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon."
"Since they have no soul, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon could not do any harm to them. Instead, it suffered many blows from the Ancient Devils. Of course, all those that could make Divine Soul Emperor Dragon suffer were extremely powerful, enough to destroy any Divine Being and even Ancient God."
"You don't need to know more for the time being. Just know that Ancient Demons and Ancient Devils are also one of your enemies. If you can, then you have to exterminate the entire Ancient Demon race from the surface of Heavens. Well, these Ancient Demons are also the first and last reason that brought two arch-opposing forces to join hands and hunt down every Ancient Demons for thousands of years."
"Sigh!"
"Anyway, this Eye in front of you is a part of an Ancient Demon. And also, I'll tell you one thing so that you'll not misunderstand something very important. That altar is not sealing the Eye of the Ancient Demon, instead, it's helping this Eye to devour the essence of life and energy from other living beings and strengthen it."
Saying this, Queen once again looked at the Evil Eye deeply and muttered in her heart, "So, the Ancient Demons have not completely disappeared, they are still here. They did not appear in any other era but in this era. Looks like their appearance is most likely related to the appearance of Ye Xiao who is the inheritor of the Universe of Heavenly Pearl and the successor of Celestial Sword Emperor, Lin Hao who is also the holder of God Slaying Sword."
"This era will be yet another chaotic era. Sigh!"
On the other hand, Ye Xiao was stunned. He was shocked to know about Ancient Demons. Ancient Demons actually have no size and shape. Most importantly, they did not even have a soul. How can the Universe give birth to beings who can live, eat, cultivate, kill, or do anything they want, though without souls? Isn't this too exaggerated.
How can they live when they don't even have a soul?
And...
How can they be killed when they don't even have a soul?
Ye Xiao also came to understand why he was influenced by Divine Soul Emperor Dragon's hatred whenever he heard the term 'Demons' or 'Ancient Demons'.
It was because Divine Soul Emperor Dragon is the emperor of soul and everything about it is related to the soul.
While, on the other hand, Ancient Demons are beings without souls. Because of this, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon was helpless against them and even suffered some losses by their hands.
Ye Xiao was still deep in thought when he was brought back to reality by the sudden terrifying fluctuation of energy that came from the Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye had started gathering black energy in front of its pupil.
Queen, who saw this, disappeared from where she was and appeared a few meters away to the left side of Ye Xiao. She didn't bring Ye Xiao with him to dodge, instead, she was interested to see how Ye Xiao will answer this attack of Evil Eye!
Ye Xiao did not expect Queen to leave by herself. As for him, leaving now was impossible because it's already too late to even dodge the attack, let alone leave.
"Eye of Destruction!"
A huge beam of black light was shot at Ye Xiao by the Evil Eye.
Since Ye Xiao had no way to dodge the attack or prepare to launch other attacks to retaliate, in hurry, Ye Xiao used the Eye of Destruction, his strongest attack.
Within a single moment, extremely destructive red energy gathered in Ye Xiao's both eyes, and two beams of destructive red light shot forward, colliding directly with the black beam of light.
"Bang!"
A huge explosion occurred and the land between Ye Xiao and the Evil Eye was destroyed beyond recognition. A huge crater between the two entities appeared that was still filled with extremely powerful destructive energy.
Most terrifying was that the surroundings were also affected because of this collision between two extremely powerful attacks. The trees, ground, huge rocks and boulders, and other things were all turned into ashes and nothing was left.
Even Ji Yanran, who was standing a thousand meters away from Ye Xiao, was affected by this terrifying collision. She was sent flying as she spurted out mouthfuls of blood and lost her consciousness immediately.
Even Ye Xiao's soul shivered heavily and traces of blood flew out from the corner of his mouth. If not for his extremely powerful soul, he would have also lost his consciousness.
Looking at Queen, she was safe and sound and had a look of praise on her face as she looked at Ye Xiao. There was also a trace of satisfaction as if she was satisfied with Ye Xiao's current strength.
She was injured in the slightest. No, let alone injuries, there was not a single trace of dust on her body.
Let's not talk about Queen, there was no damage to the land behind her and ten meters in front of her. Everything was exactly like before. It was as if the collision of two extremely terrifying attacks was not powerful enough to affect Queen or her surroundings.
Ye Xiao's eyes opened wide. He thought in his heart, 'Just how powerful has she become? What is her current cultivation base?'
Well, now was not the time to ask Queen. He looked at the Evil Altar and saw something that caused his body to stiffen.
Evil Eye was not dealt with any damage, instead, the Evil Altar was destroyed.
Maybe, the Evil Eye was angered because of the destruction of Evil Alter, an incredibly evil aura was surging around it and behind it appeared an image of an extremely huge demon.
This demon's body could not be seen because it was like black gas as it was swaying slowly just like cloth fluttering in the air.
Only a pair of extremely terrifying eyes could be seen.. Ye Xiao could see that the surface around the eye was covered in black scales, just like this Evil Eye.
