"Sword Soul, huh?" Ye Xiao looked at his surroundings and suddenly, a weird smile appeared on his face. Then he said: "It's a pity that you are not an Ancient God. Otherwise, you would have been able to put up a fight against me!"
The moment Ye Xiao finished his words, his eyes flashed with a green glow as he observed that sword-wielding God as well as the manifestation of Sword Soul. It was at this moment that the sword soul attacked Ye Xiao like rain, falling from above, targeting him from every direction.
Ye Xiao did not dodge nor did he have any intention of evading the attack. He kept observing everything very carefully. He saw how the sword energy was flowing inside the sword-wilding God's body, he saw the flow of sword energy in the air and how the Sword Soul affected the entire space.
With the Eyes of Insight, he saw far more than what a normal pair of eyes could see. He noticed the entire space vibrating fiercely, as if the Sword Soul could cut through the space anytime. He noted down the fierce sword energy spreading everywhere like an overwhelming spider net, covering the sky and earth.
With the Sword Soul, even a void where nothing exists can become a sword to shred everything into thin pieces, making them look like ashes.
Those swords in the air shot and stabbed Ye Xiao's body from every direction, making him bleed all over his body, however, instead of groaning in pain, Ye Xiao closed his eyes and felt the profoundness of these swords.
"Everything has its own sources, and the sources create rules. And the rules come from Heavens itself. Humans have Dao, demons have Dao, and even the Heavens have Dao. Swords Dao is special, birthing Sword Way. Unlike other weapons, Sword Way has many stages and the final stage is Sword Soul."
"But... Is it really the truth?"
"Can't the way of other weapons also be comprehended to the fifth stage, the 'Soul' Stage?"
"Who was the first person to comprehend the Sword Soul?"
Ye Xiao looked deep in thought, it was as if those countless wounds were not on his body but someone else's. If he wanted, he could have immediately dealt with everything, but currently, he was using the Eyes of Insight to comprehend something. He seemed to be very close, but at the same time, he seemed to be very far away from understanding what he wanted.
"Celestial Sword Emperor, he is a person from the Primordial Era. He was the previous owner of God Slaying Sword. With the God Slaying Sword in hand, he made a name for himself. He must be the one to comprehend the Sword Way to the fifth stage, making it known throughout the Heavens. Because of him, everyone must have started believing in Swords."
"As for other weapons, there has never been a weapon like God Slaying Sword in the history of Heavens that could let its owner comprehend the Weapon Way, thus no one has been able to ever comprehend more than the Intent of their weapons, making them believe that other weapons are inferior to swords and Sword Way."
"Today, I shall comprehend the Spear Soul and the Blade Soul!"
As Ye Xiao said this, the sky darkened again and a huge pair of eyes appeared in the sky above the Song Family, frightening everyone. The pair of eyes looked coldly at Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao did not react at all.
He closed his eyes and hold the Void Shattering Spear in his hand. Then he suddenly opened his eyes as a green light flashed in his eyes. The next instant, he raised his spear, thrusting it at the pair of huge eyes.
A terrifying energy wave swept over as a boundless and fearsome aura erupted forth, destroying everything in the surroundings of 1,000 meters. The entire Song Family was destroyed in an instant, but no life was lost.
This fearsome aura startled everyone. Even those Ancient Gods looked at the source of this aura with horror in their eyes, for they have never seen anything like this before.
Suddenly, countless sharp spears manifested in the air. These spears were translucent, and at the same time, they seemed to contain boundless strength.
It was at this time that Ye Xiao's eyes flashed again and the spears immediately targeted Song Family's Rulers and above martial artists.
Ye Xiao then closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged. He suddenly went into a state of enlightenment after executing this attack. Just with this attack alone, he had killed all martial artists below God Realm. Many of the Gods of the Song Family were also killed and many managed to block the spear attack. Such people suffered minor as well as serious injuries.
As for those Ancient Gods, they were also injured, but they were doing much better than the Gods.
The pair of eyes in the air also seemed to have been injured but its injuries healed at a very fast speed and looked down at Ye Xiao coldly again. But it didn't take any action against Ye Xiao for some reason.
Those injured Gods and Ancient Gods flew out and started gathering where Ye Xiao was sitting cross-legged, soon surrounding him completely. They looked at their enemy who was carelessly cultivating at this place, as if didn't think of them more than ants.
This made them furious. They wanted to attack and kill him immediately, but that constantly rising sharp aura on Ye Xiao's body frightened them. For some reason, they seemed to be looking at a fiend sitting high above them. Even if the fiend's eyes are closed, it doesn't mean ants like them could do anything against the fiend.
It was at this moment, Ye Xiao again opened his eyes. But this time, his eyes were no longer glowing green. His eyes returned to normal. Even the fearsome aura around his body also disappeared.
"Eyes of Insight... What a magnificent and heaven-defying pair of eyes. No wonder the Three-eyed Race was cursed by the Heavens to never be able to produce a Ruler and above martial artists. With this pair of eyes, I even managed to understand the Sword Soul completely and comprehend my own Spear Soul. I just have to sit down for a few days and I believe I can even comprehend Blade Soul!"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao looked around him and saw all the Gods and Ancient Gods that were looking at him with furious as well as fearful gazes.
Ye Xiao looked at them and said: "I will no longer waste my time on you guys. I shall annihilate the Song Family from the surface of this world!"
As Ye Xiao said, countless spears once again manifested in the air without Ye Xiao doing anything, and this time, the spear's power was overwhelming as well. It was at least three times stronger than before.
Before the people of the Song Family could do or say anything, the spears made their move and immediately attacked these people.
"Ahhh!"
"F*ck!"
"Show mercy... Please..."
Many different voices echoed in the surroundings but soon died down. The Spear Soul not attacked their body but also attacked their souls. These people experienced the pain of spears piercing into their Divine Souls, making them feel tremendous pain before destroying their Divine Souls.
There were more than five Ancient Gods, but all Ancient Gods were killed as if they were nothing more than ordinary people in front of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's attack was so fast that they failed to even react in time to at least try and block the attack.
Ye Xiao looked around him and sighed. He didn't want to kill children, weak servants, and weak women, but when he erupted with that fearsome aura before, it destroyed the entire Song Family which also killed countless innocent lives.
Ye Xiao could only sigh for them, muttering: "I could have done nothing in that situation, it was never my fault. The fault lies in you for being a part of the Song Family. Even if you are just a mere servant, relying on the reputation of the Song Family, you must have bullied outsiders many times. You were also not innocent, consider it your punishment. Although I didn't want to kill you guys, but it doesn't mean you don't deserve to die!"
"Devour!"
Muttering, Ye Xiao once again sat down and started devouring the Laws and Profound Meanings, as well as their cultivation bases.
Very soon, Ye Xiao devoured everything. Ye Xiao felt like immediately breaking through the shackle and stepping into an entirely new cultivation realm, the Ancient God Realm. However, he suppressed his cultivation.
He has a purpose behind suppressing his cultivation. Since he will lose all his cultivation after completely cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, and releasing the Nine Ancestral Dragons, why should he give all benefits to them?
He would also hold back and release them while he is still just a God. At that time, those Ancestral Dragons would need to cultivate on their own and become stronger. It will take them a very long time to do so.
And during that period of time, he would have already become very strong.
