Everyone started climbing the Green Stone Stairs slowly but steadily.
Every time Ye Xiao and the others stepped up the stairs, the pillars on both sides of the stairs would burn with a raging flame. It was as if they were lighting up the stairs for Ye Xiao and the others. It was as if they were welcoming the arrival of Ye Xiao and his women.
These raging flames did not give them a burning sensation but instead give them a comfortable and warm feeling.
Following the igniting of these flames, the demonic beasts in the mountain peak instantly gathered around the two sides of the Green Stone Stairs. They lowered their heads and looked at it as if they were on a pilgrimage, giving Ye Xiao and the others a strange feeling.
Ye Xiao and the others walked up step by step, feeling as if they were ascending to immortality. As they stood on the towering Green Stone Stair and looked down, the mountains in the distance extended and the clouds curled up, making Ye Xiao and the others feel relaxed.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xiao and the others finally reached the peak of the mountain. In front of them was a huge stone platform. On the platform, silver light was shining and clouds were swirling around. A pure and holy aura was rushing toward them.
Looking up, Ye Xiao and the others were shocked.
They saw that there were hundreds of demonic beasts gathered on the stone platform. Each of them had some kind of pattern lingering on their bodies, and the powerful aura that radiated from their bodies made Ye Xiao and the others tremble.
However, they were all kneeling on the ground and worship the center of the platform. Ye Xiao and the others were shocked as they followed the gazes of these demonic beasts.
In the center of the platform, there was a huge pitch-black altar. It was nine meters tall and incomparably wide.
On top of the altar, there was a huge black flower floating in the air. The patterns on the surface of the flower danced in the air, and it was emitting a strong holy aura.
With just a glance, it made Ye Xiao and the others' hearts tremble. It was as if their souls were about to be devoured by the flower. They could not help but quickly look away, not daring to look at it any longer.
Even Ye Xiao felt a sense of great danger when he looked at this flower. However, unlike his women, he still looked at the flower carefully a few more times.
"This flower... It must have also surpassed the God Rank. How could there be so many treasures surpassing Empyrean rank in this world even though we have yet to locate the Void God Vault?"
"With this black flower, I have already come across two Empyrean Rank treasures. Since there are already two outside, how many will be inside the Void God Vault?"
Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice. Everyone else also nodded their heads in agreement.
After spending more than 300 years with Ye Xiao, they already know many things. Some of them were about treasures above God Rank, and even a few things about Chaos.
In the center of the altar, there were four tiny demonic beasts. The patterns on their bodies were extremely dense. With just a glance, other than Ye Xiao and Yue Ying, everyone else felt as if their souls were about to be torn apart.
Although the four demonic beasts were small in size, they were definitely more terrifying than any Ancient God they have ever faced. These four demonic beasts were extremely similar to the phoenix, dragon, tortoise, and tiger.
These four beasts were small in size and were surrounding the Black Flower, protecting the flower from any outside dangers.
But for some reason, even though Ye Xiao and others arrived at this place, they did not even look at them. It was as if they did not even notice their arrival.
On the other hand, the hundreds of demonic beasts gathered on the stone platform suddenly raised their heads and looked at them before roaring loudly, causing the sky to reverberate with their roars.
Including Ye Xiao, everyone felt as if their ears would explode because of the demonic beasts' roars. Their ears started bleeding.
Before Ye Xiao and others could understand what was happening...
"Buzz!"
The black flower in the middle of the altar suddenly trembled. Mysterious patterns emerged from the black flower.
Following this, everyone felt their mind and soul trembling. Before they could understand what was happening, it was as if they were being pulled by some kind of force. They flew up from the ground and were pulled to the center of the altar, in front of the black flower.
It was at this moment that the four demonic beasts guarding the black flower suddenly turned their heads and looked at them with fierce eyes. The patterns on their bodies resonated with the patterns on the black flower and lit up. The next moment, a rhythmic sound that seemed to be capable of intoxicating even Gods echoed in the air.
At this time, Ye Xiao and the others suddenly felt a cold but comfortable sensation running through their bodies and entering their souls, calming their trembling souls and minds.
Suddenly, they seemed to have witnessed something very incredible, everyone opened their eyes wide in shock.
It is because, when the rhythmic sound echoed in the air, other than the four demonic beasts, all other demonic beasts suddenly turned into mysterious patterns and flew into the black flower, fusing with it.
Only now did Ye Xiao and his women understand that those were not the real demonic beasts, they were actually the manifestation of mysterious patterns born from the black flower.
The thing that is happening in front of them currently was something they have neither seen before nor had they heard of it anywhere. Whatever was happening was extremely mysterious and extraordinary.
Now, on the altar, other than the Black flower and four Demonic Beasts, only Ye Xiao and his group was left.
They looked at each other, and could clearly see the astonishment in each other's eyes. They could not help but once again focus their attention on the four demonic beasts.

The patterns on the four demonic beasts' bodies were still glowing, resonating with the patterns on the black flower.
At this time, the black flower started growing in the size, and in just a few moments, it grew to the size of more than 20 meters. In front of this huge black flower, Ye Xiao and others seemed like an ant. Even a single petal of the black flower was enough to completely bulldoze Ye Xiao, Xue Xiaofei, and others.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the four demonic beasts roared at Ye Xiao and the others. But its roar was not loud, it was more like some sort of communication. The four demonic beasts seemed to be telling something to Ye Xiao and others. But Ye Xiao and others were unable to understand what it was trying to tell.
"Sigh!"
It was at this time, a long sigh echoed in Ye Xiao's mind. It was obviously the sigh of the mysterious lady.
Ye Xiao immediately prepared to hear what she was about to say, for he knew since she responded, she must know something and is about to tell something.
As expected, the next moment, her voice rang in Ye Xiao's mind: "This treasure is the Flower of Divinity. It is another top Empyrean Rank Treasure of Chaos. It shouldn't appear in Heavens but it still appeared. Do you know why?"
Ye Xiao did not know what to say, but he still tried to guess and spoke: "Because of the Void God Vault?"
He guessed that maybe this treasure fell out of the Void God Vault.
"Are you an idiot?" The mysterious lady chuckled and asked. She said: "If it really fell out of the Void God Vault, then what about this altar? How did it appear?"
Now that Ye Xiao thought about it, this really seemed to be the case. How could the altar appear here if the Flower of Divinity really fell out of the Void God Vault?
"Then... Why?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Let's talk about it later. First, choose four people to absorb the essence of the Flower of Divinity. These four demonic beasts are created by the spirit of Flower of Divinity, for it no longer wants to be imprisoned here." The mysterious lady said.
"Imprisoned?" Ye Xiao frowned.
He also could not understand what the mysterious lady meant when she said 'choose four people to absorb the essence of Flower of Divinity'.
"You don't have much time, hurry up and choose four people to absorb the essence of Flower of Divinity. Otherwise, the Flower of Divinity will randomly choose four people. If it is that girl Yue Ying, the essence of Divinity will be wasted because she has already absorbed a fragment of Ice Source. She might even die."
