Chapter 872 Ch 872: Lake And The Ancient Tree

Ye Xiao looked for the reason behind feeling the same aura that he felt when Domineering God Crystal sent him to Chaos where he encountered Supreme Ancient Devil.

However, when Ye Xiao found nothing even after a very long time, he stopped looking around and started walking forward once again. The space inside the meteorite seemed to be endless. The more Ye Xiao walked, the wider and longer the space became. There seemed to be no end to this space.

After a long time, a forest appeared in front of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao didn’t stop and kept walking. With his current strength, very few people could threaten him.

But this time, even though Ye Xiao kept walking for three days, his surrounding didn’t change which made him feel that something was very wrong.

He raised his head and looked around. No matter which direction he looked, all he could see was a forest. Not to mention other terrains, there weren’t even mountains.

“Don’t tell me there’s an illusion formation here? But if there really is an illusion formation, why can’t I sense it?” Ye Xiao muttered to himself. The area of this forest was really large and strange, giving him a feeling that it was much larger than the Ancient Ruin of Sky Ghost Race in the Great Star Continent. In this case, either there was an illusion formation here or there was a problem with the space itself.

Ye Xiao was temporarily unable to determine the two possibilities.

“Hmm? What is that?”

He looked ahead and surprisingly, there was a ball of white mist floating toward Ye Xiao, and it was very quick.

An inexplicable white mist appeared in front of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao immediately retracted the aura on his body and quickly hid his presence. He started waiting for the white mist to approach. Strange things could be seen everywhere inside this meteorite, so it was best to figure out what that white mist was before deciding what to do.

Very quickly, the white mist reached Ye Xiao’s head. At this distance, Ye Xiao finally saw the true vision of the white mist clearly. However, when he looked, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

The white fog was not some white fog. Instead, it was a group of translucent white wasps. The reason why they looked like white mist was purely because of the large amount of True Essence surrounding them, and the strength of these hornets was at the Heavenly Divine Lord Realm.

With just a glance, he could tell that there were at least three to five thousand wasps. The wasps did not sense Ye Xiao’s aura, so they quickly flew over his head. Ye Xiao also didn’t take any action against them. He let them fly away.

After confirming that the wasps had left, Ye Xiao finally started moving deeper into the forest. Seeing even more strange things happening made Ye Xiao even more curious about the meteorite.

But one thing was sure, the deeper he went, the louder the heartbeat became. This made Ye Xiao confirm that he was not trapped in any kind of illusion. It was just that the space itself was weird here.

Another hour passed quickly. Ye Xiao was still roaming in the forest. It was just that, a different situation had occurred in front of him at this moment. He saw a lake in front of him and in the middle of the lake, there was an enormous ancient tree.

The water in the lake was very clear and he could clearly see the bottom of the lake from the edge. There were no signs of living things moving around. However, the ancient tree in the middle was very strange. The ancient tree had only one color, and it was Magenta. Whether it was the leaves, tree roots, or even the surrounding land, everything was Magenta in colour. This magenta colour made this ancient tree look extremely strange. He had never seen a tree that is magenta in colour. It made him feel strange as he looked at this tree.

Carefully sniffing the air, Ye Xiao was puzzled. There was no scent in the air, but looking at the magenta-colored ancient tree, he felt like his brain was stimulated by a strange smell. He also felt little nausea.

What a strange place.

Ye Xiao thought in his heart. He then sent out a stream of divine sense to try and sense the situation of the ancient tree. To his surprise, once he reached the lake, his divine sense once again lost its effect. As a result, if Ye Xiao wanted to find out the origins of the ancient tree, he would have to run to the side of the tree himself.

Ye Xiao supported his chin as he was unsure if he should go over. The old tree gave off a strange feeling, as did the calm surface of the lake. It is as if there were hidden dangers lurking within the lake.

After a while, Ye Xiao suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile. ‘When did I become such a coward? Isn’t it just a lake? What is there to be afraid of?’

In the next moment, with a tap of his feet, Ye Xiao immediately flew towards the ancient tree. However, when he was halfway there, a powerful attack suddenly came from above Ye Xiao’s head. No matter if it was speed or power, this attack was definitely god-level strength.

“Boom!”

A huge explosion sounded out on the surface of the lake, and a wave in the shape of a mushroom rose up into the air. Soon after, it turned into a large amount of mist, causing the lake’s surface to become much more hazy. Only, within the waves, there wasn’t any red light, and’s body wasn’t seen either.

“A sneak attack, are you a mouse?” Ye Xiao’s voice came from above. His line of sight immediately followed. At the top of his original position, there was a fellow who was wearing black armor and wielding a golden trident! And the attack on Ye Xiao just now was obviously executed by this fellow!

However, at this time, Ye Xiao appeared above the black armored man on the other hand. At the same time, his right hand lit up as the Void Splitter Spear appeared in his hand.

The True Essence around Ye Xiao’s body became restless and its circulation speed reached an extremely shocking level. Facing a fellow who suddenly attacked him, Ye Xiao would not be courteous at all.

“Nine Sun Eternal Flame Spirit!”

Ye Xiao also summoned the Nine Sun Eternal Flame Spirit. The purple-coloured flame appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the Void Splitter Spear before turning into a gigantic flaming spear shape in the blink of an eye. And then he thrust the spear forward.

Everything happened too quickly. From the time he dodged the sudden attack and appeared above the ambusher’s head to the speed of summoning Nine Sun Eternal Flame Spirit which wrapped around his spear, and then attacking, everything happened too fast. It was so fast that the black-armored man had no chance to dodge at all.

Perhaps, the reason why the black-armored man was unable to dodge was not entirely because of Ye Xiao’s strength, but also because of the enormous burning spear that he was unable to dodge. He quickly turned around and swept out the trident in his hand horizontally. Then, the trident erupted with a dazzling golden light. In the blink of an eye, it formed a giant energy trident that collided with the flaming spear.

“Boom!”

“BOOM!” “BOOM!”

The two powerful moves clashed and a series of ear-splitting explosions occurred. A large number of waves rose from the surface of the lake after this strike!

“Peng!” A figure was hit and landed on the surface of the lake, followed by a huge splash of water. This figure was the black-armored man.

In the air, Ye Xiao was also sent flying backward from the impact of the attack. He was sent flying mainly because everything happened too fast and he had no way to stabilize his body.

However, after the exchange of moves, Ye Xiao was extremely shocked in his heart. This was because the strength of the black-armored man was actually on par with a God. He really was a God levelled expert.

In fact, he should be much stronger than an ordinary God.

Well, at this moment, a question appeared in Ye Xiao’s mind.

How did this man enter this space?

To be more accurate, where did this person come from and why did he attack him?

Is there a specific reason?

Or did he attack him because he want to stop Ye Xiao from approaching the ancient tree?

When Ye Xiao thought like this, he find this reason more feasible. This must be it. Yes, this black-armored figure must have attacked him because he tried to approach the ancient tree.

Now that he thought about it, for some reason, he had stopped hearing the sound of the heartbeat from the moment he arrived in front of the lake. This lake and this ancient tree seemed mysterious to Ye Xiao at this moment.
