Ye Xiao's cultivation entered the Immortal King Realm. Now, he had gained some confidence to face those Immortal Beasts waiting for him outside.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao vanished from the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and again appeared at the same place where he had been standing after descending from above.
He had spent more than forty hours on the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda which was equivalent to more than four hours in the real world.
The moment he once again appeared, he was immediately locked on by dozens of Immortal Beasts.
These Immortal Beasts were looking for him for this entire time. They didn't believe that Ye Xiao had already left this place somehow under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred Immortal Beasts.
According to them, Ye Xiao must have used some sort of secret technique to his own existence from their eyes.
These Immortal Beasts were already very powerful and had long awakened their intelligence. It would be more appropriate to say that all Immortal Beasts above Immortal Lord Realm would awaken their intelligence automatically, and their intelligence would not be inferior to an adult human in any way.
Since these Immortal Beasts were already cautious and were looking for any clue to find Ye Xiao, the moment they felt the slight fluctuation of energy, they immediately locked on that place, and not long after, Ye Xiao appeared at that place.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Roar! Roar!"
All the immortal beasts started roaring while some of them directly rushed at Ye Xiao and attacked him.
Ye Xiao was already ready for their attacks. He immediately flew up and dodged their attacks.
Ye Xiao was now already at the Early Stage of the Immortal King Realm. Martial artists can fly after reaching the Immortal King Realm, because of this, Ye Xiao was also able to fly now without using the Wings of Divine Dragon.
But after just a few moments, Ye Xiao came down while shivering due to cold.
He had totally forgotten about the extremely low temperature at this place. He came out of the Universe in his mind without using the Sun Fire Soul to cover his body so that it could protect him from the cold.
The moment he came down, he immediately covered his entire body with the Sun Fire Soul, becoming the man in the fire.
But to his surprise, this time, none of the Immortal Beasts attacked him. Instead, they looked at each other and continue to growl in low voices, as if they were communicating with each other and were debating over some matter.
Those Immortal Beasts also continue to look at him from time to time, not wanting to give him any chance to escape.
After a few breaths of time, a wolf-type Immortal Beast came forward, ready to attack Ye Xiao.
This Immortal Beast had the body of a wolf and its body was around 3 meters long and 2 meters high. Its fur was white in colour and one gray horn was growing out from its forehead, just like the horn of a unicorn.
Its claws were covered in frost and from the looks of it, it had definitely not moved from his place for a very very long time.
"Horned Frost Wolf!"
Looking at this wolf, Ye Xiao muttered in his heart. Horned Frost Wolf was mainly known for its unicorn-like horn. It is said that this horn was so strong that it can even make a hole in a High-Grade Immortal Rank Weapon.
Its horn was also very famous among Weapon Craftsmen. It was a very rare and valuable material to craft a strong and durable weapon.
The Horned Frost Wolf looked at other Immortal Beasts and seeing this, other Immortal Beasts nodded their heads just like humans.
Seeing that other Immortal Beasts were nodding their heads, it turned and looked at Ye Xiao with pride in its eyes before raising its head towards the crack above and roared loudly, causing some small pieces of ice to fall down from above.
Ye Xiao immediately understood that these Immortal Beasts were treating him as their playthings by looking at their behaviours. In their eyes, Ye Xiao was nothing more than a toy that they could destroy at any time they want.
Maybe, these Immortal Beasts stayed underground for too long, causing them to be extremely bored. It was maybe because of this, the first thing they wanted to do after noticing Ye Xiao was not to kill him but play with him for some time before taking his life. And the first player was the Horned Frost Wolf.
The Horned Frost Wolf was the same as the Man-Demon Ice Horse. It was at the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm.
"Roar!"
The Horned Frost Wolf roared once again before raising one of its claws and clawed at Ye Xiao from a few meters away.
Light flashed as four marks of claw appeared in the air that rushed at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao knew that he had to deal with many Immortal Beasts. This Horned Frost Wolf was just one of them and the weakest ones at that.
So, he first dodged the claw attack of the Horned Frost Wolf by using the "Spirit Devour Escape", and not wanting to waste his time, he immediately used the "Soul Destruction" to destroy the Horned Frost Wolf's soul, killing it immediately.
Shock appeared in every Immortal Beasts' eyes when they saw Horned Frost Wolf that was healthy and kicking just a breath of time ago suddenly felling on the ground and losing all signs of life.
They could not understand what happened just now and changed gazes between Ye Xiao and the Horned Frost Wolf.
In their eyes, the Horned Frost Wolf must have died because of some unknown reason. The thought of Ye Xiao killing the Horned Frost Wolf never crossed their minds.
But maybe, the status of the Horned Frost Wolf was too low among these Immortal Beasts, after a few moments of time, they ignored its dead body and sent another Immortal Beast to play with Ye Xiao.
It was a huge furry white spider that was waving its sickle-like claws. It seemed that it had a mocking look on its small face and thought of Ye Xiao as its prey.
Momentarily, the spider had already come in front of him. Its body was like a snowball and its eight legs were very sharp with white barbs, looking quite scary.
This Immortal Beast was known as Snow Spider.
When Ye Xiao was observing the giant snow spider, it suddenly opened its mouth. A white rope as thick as a baby's arm shot towards Ye Xiao.
"Dammit!" Ye Xiao immediately wanted to retreat, but it was too late already. The white rope had already caught one of his arms.
Ye Xiao could feel how cold this thick web of Snow Spider was. If not for the Sun Fire Soul, Ye Xiao guessed that his arm would have been completely frozen and shattered to pieces because of this rope-like web of the Snow Spider.
Even with the Sun Fire Soul, it took more than ten breaths of time for the Sun Fire Soul to completely disintegrate the spider's web that was sticking on his arm.
Seeing that Ye Xiao had freed himself from its web, the giant Snow Spider opened its mouth again and another white shadow was shot at Ye Xiao.
This time, Ye Xiao was nimble enough to dodge the rope-like white web of the Snow Spider.
Seeing this scene, as if the giant Snow Spider was angered, it started giving birth to many small snow spiders on the spot.
Ye Xiao was surprised to see this scene but he was more shocked when these tiny spiders rushed at him with incredible speed. They didn't seem to be newborn spiders at all.
Ye Xiao immediately retreated.
All the tiny snow spiders chased after Ye Xiao like an avalanche. The giant Snow Spider was especially fast, coming forward a hundred feet with each move. Ye Xiao could not outrun it because of two reasons.
The first reason was that the space where he could move was too small and he was surrounded by many Immortal Beasts. Although those Immortal Beasts were not taking action at this time, they did give Ye Xiao mental pressure. He had to stay cautious of their sneak attacks.
The second reason was that a large part of the small space where Ye Xiao could move was now filled with hundreds of tiny Snow Spiders.
In addition, the giant Snow Spider was constantly spitting spider silk at him, which Ye Xiao had to dodge as well. When stuck, He would be in trouble.
"Fire Clones!"
"Soul Destruction!"
"Sea Dragon Descends: First Style, Hands of Waves!"
Ye Xiao immediately released tens of fire clones that started using their own attacks to deal with tiny snow spiders.
In addition, he also continuously used Soul Destruction to destroy the souls of tens of tiny spiders and then used the first style of the Sea Dragon Descends and attacked the giant Snow Spider.
