Blood Parasite died and with this, Ye Xiao’s second test was completed. It was time for him to get out of this Blood Pool and continue his journey.
Now that the Blood Parasite was dead, Ye Xiao used the Blood Devour ability to devour all the blood in the Blood Pool and strengthen his Golden Crow Bloodline to a certain extent. Then he looked around him. Everything was too dark after the crumbling of the cave. There was no way left for Ye Xiao to leave this cave.
But Ye Xiao was not worried. He transformed into the Nine Hell Serenity Dragon and forcefully flew out of the crumbled cave, causing rocks and dust to fly everywhere.
After coming out of the crumbled cave, Ye Xiao looked forward and his pupils shrank.
It is because, at some point in time, the space around him has changed. The crumbled cave was no longer there. In fact, the land from before had disappeared the moment Ye Xiao flew out of the cave.
Now that Ye Xiao thought about it, he did feel a spatial fluctuation while he forcefully came out of the cave. It turned out that after the second test ended, he was automatically transferred to the ground of the third test.
Not only this, even the restriction on his cultivation base and soul force was broken now. His cultivation returned to its original point. He once again became an Exalted Ruler.
He looked around him and sighed in his heart. It is because, unlike the second test where he needed to go inside the cave and travel in the darkness where the atmosphere was too gloomy and cold, this place was very beautiful.
Ye Xiao could see a big mountain at a certain distance from where he was standing. But to reach that mountain, one has to cross a crystal-clear lake. This lake was shining like a mirror under the sun. There was a bridge on top of the lake that leads directly to the other side.
Ye Xiao immediately understood that this lake should be the lake of reincarnation that Pygon talked about previously. He needs to cross the lake in order to pass the third test of the second trial.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and stepped forward, arriving in front of the bridge. But the moment Ye Xiao arrived here, he suddenly felt a surge of energy and the scene in front of him changed slightly. He found two figures standing at the center of the bridge. He doesn’t know when they appeared, but it seemed that their appearance was caused by the surge of energy from the surrounding.
Looking closely, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that these two figures actually seemed to be two corpses. It is because Ye Xiao couldn’t feel any sign of life on their bodies.
But the shocking thing was that these two people were all Gods.
Before walking to the bridge, Ye Xiao meditated for a short time. Finally, holding the blade in his hand, he stood up and moved forward, stepping on the bridge.
After stepping onto the bridge, Ye Xiao first observed the surrounding with a cautious expression on his face. Fortunately, he didn’t feel any abnormalities here. He was still thinking about what this Lake of Reincarnation actually is.
Looking down at the lake, he saw that the lake looked to be filled with holy water. There seemed to be no trace of impurities in the water. What is more, the deeper he looked into the lake, the unfathomable the lake seemed in his eyes. It is as if this lake had no depth. It is depthless.
Ye Xiao hurriedly retracted his eyes. The lake was really weird. Ye Xiao had to be very careful. Holding the blade in his hand, Ye Xiao continued moving forward.
The water in the lake was still not reacting in any way. When Ye Xiao walked to the center of the lake and came in front of the two God Levelled corpses, he took a closer look at the corpses.
These two Gods were too lifelike. Their eyes were closed as if they were asleep. An invisible wave of horrible energy was fluctuating out of their bodies that seemed to be affecting the space itself.
Ye Xiao was shocked and what caused him to be surprised was that they had no injuries or wounds on their bodies. If that’s the case, then how did they die?
He kept staring at the Gods’ corpses for a while with the hope of obtaining some clues, but what disappointed Ye Xiao was that he couldn’t find anything at all.
Their hands were empty and there were no weapons. They didn’t even have spatial rings on their fingers.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, took a step forward, and walked past the two corpses. But at this time, Ye Xiao suddenly felt his arm caught by something. The grip was very tight. He was surprised but before he could turn back, he heard an anxious voice in his ear: “Master, you can’t go there, the enemy is too powerful.”
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but be shocked. He was about to get rid of that hand but found that the hand’s grip has become stronger and for some reason, his strength was not working. He couldn’t get rid of the hand holding his arm no matter how hard he tried.
“Master, you can’t go there. If you go there, you’ll die!” The same voice once again appeared in Ye Xiao’s ear.
Ye Xiao then looked at the man who spoke. He was the God who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing armor covered with blood and was pulling him with concern on his face.
Ye Xiao was startled. He looked around and saw that his surroundings has once again changed, He was currently standing in the middle of a battlefield, surrounded by countless powerful men. More than half of these men seemed to be his enemies.
He was once again greatly shocked when he saw his own reflection in the shield of a person. He didn’t know when the change happened, but right now, he was wearing bloodstained clothes. He was still holding a long blade in his hand though and this blade seemed to be the same one he has refined using the Mysterious Holy Crystals and Golden Flame Stones.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the enemy in front of him: “Ye Xiao, your woman is in my hands. If you still don’t surrender, hehehe… I’ll play with your woman in front of your eyes and kill her after that!”
Ye Xiao looked straight and saw a middle-aged man forcefully holding a struggling young woman in his hand. Although the woman was struggling with all her strength, she could not break free of the middle-aged man’s restriction.
Ye Xiao frowned when he looked at that woman. It is because this woman seemed to be familiar but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her. However, at this time, the woman shouted at him: “Ye Xiao, ignore me and run away. You won’t be able to defeat the enemy. Don’t worry, my Ji Clan is not weak. My father will soon come and save me. You should escape and save your own life!”
Although the woman yelled at him and told him to run for his life, her eyes were full of sadness and reluctance. It was as if she doesn’t want Ye Xiao to go away. But the current situation made her want to separate from Ye Xiao just so that Ye Xiao’s life could be saved.
“Ji Yanran!” Ye Xiao suddenly remembered who she is and was shocked.
He had met this woman when he was going through the first round of the Competition of Myriad World. He had met her in the Green Blood Demon World.
She is the girl who possessed the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye. Yin Yang Heavenly Eye could be said to be the same as the Eye of Insight to some extent. But overall, Eyes of Insight is more powerful.
The same as the Eyes of Insight, Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes could see through the secrets of the heavens. Nothing can hide from the sight of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes. No illusion can work in front of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes. Even the tiniest bit of flaw in a perfect formation could be seen by the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes in an instant.
There was a saying about the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye: “One Eye Can Kill A God!” [Ref.- Ch 541.]
That Ancient Family that possesses the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes is called Heavenly Eye Family and they are also called the Ji Clan. Other than the members of the Heavenly Eye Family, no one can possess Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes.
Ye Xiao still remembered that he had helped Ji Yanran deal awaken the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye and even gave her a cultivation method to cultivate those pair of eyes.
Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes are very special, and have a total of five stages of awakening.
