Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 942 Ch 942: Mountain Palace

One hour later...

As Ye Xiao was walking deeper and deeper, he suddenly sensed something. He didn't think twice before leaning sideways.

"Whoosh!"

An instant later, reflected in his eyes was the scene of a blinding flash of reddish black light missing him by a hairsbreadth, passing by him and striking a tree. Struck by a terrifying arrow, the towering tree was turned to dust immediately. It was quite a ridiculous sight.

"Who is it? Show yourself!" Ye Xiao emotionlessly said in his deep and calm voice.

The next instant, clapping noises were heard. Ye Xiao turned his eyes to the source of the noise. He saw a man leaning on a tree in a light-hearted manner. This man's upper body was bare, only his lower body was wrapped by some sort of black cloth that seemed more like pieces of armor for his leg.

This person's name was Cao Lu. Cao Lu opened his mouth to praise Ye Xiao. "Impressive Reflexes. That was enough to kill an Exalted Emperor but you dodged it too easily. Well, it doesn't matter, you are going to die anyway."

At the sight of him, Ye Xiao's gaze hardened and darkened. He was facing yet another new enemy out of nowhere.

Cao Lu felt his cold gaze all over him.

Ye Xiao asked calmly. "You should be from Twin Divine Hall."

The second these words left his mouth, two more people jumped down a tree located a hundred meters away. In the next instant, they disappeared and appeared close to Cao Lu.

Lu Yu pointed at him and said: "He knows who we are, Cao Lu."

The other person, Cao Ming glared at Ye Xiao with lifeless eyes that only had inky darkness in them and no white. He said: "We were right. He really is a God. We can't see through his cultivation. It must be because we are only Exalted Ruler.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything. He just inspected the three people. They were all Exalted Rulers.

Looking at them, only one thought came to mind.

Weak… they were too weak.

Lu Yu turned to Cao Lu with a serious look and spoke: "We should immediately create the Sword Formation. Dealing with him as soon as possible should be our priority!"

"We'll do it later, first let's experience his strength." Cao Ming said while swinging his axes.

Lu Yu nodded and also took out his weapon. It was a giant double-axe.

Ye Xiao calmly stepped forward, walking towards them.

They didn't know the reason why Ye Xiao was being so arrogant. And honestly, they weren't interested in finding out. They only wanted to cut him up into pieces at this moment.

Lu Yu and Cao Ming rushed toward Ye Xiao. The gap between them was covered in moments. An instant later, reflected in Ye Xiao's eyes were three weapons rapidly approaching his vitals. Just as it looked like their weapons would cut into him, Ye Xiao swung his spear upwards. The surface of his spear met with the sharp blade of their weapons, and the sound of weapons clashing rang out.

"Clang!"

Lu Yu's and Cao Ming's eyes widened to the size of saucers as Ye Xiao parried their attacks with ridiculous strength that their weapons shot out of their hands, dropping in bushes far away. They were left defenseless. With weapons, they were not his match. They found that out too late. Hence, without a weapon, how could they stand their ground against Ye Xiao, whose strength was already stronger than theirs?

"We made a mistake, we should have created the Sword Formation first!"

This thought flashed in both of their minds.

Ye Xiao didn't let this opportunity go to waste. He moved in for the kill. He used the spear like a blade, slashing out as a cold light flashed in the air. Lu Yu and Cao Ming jumped backward. Although they had taken actions to create a distance between themselves and him before he attacked, the spear light still drew a red line on their necks.

Blood started gushing out of it. They clutched their necks, blood adding colors to their pale hands. Whilst keeping a check on Cao Ming, Ye Xiao's mercilessly stared at them as they moved back weakly as if they were men at their last breath.

"Let me end your pain immediately!" Ye Xiao said and flicked his hand, causing purple flames to appear and dance in the air. Then the purple flame immediately burst with an intense temperature and immediately enveloped both Lu Yu and Cao Ming's bodies, burning them to death in an instant.

And it was at this moment that Cao Lu made his move. He pointed his bow at Ye Xiao. It didn't have a string, and he didn't have an arrow either. But suddenly, countless specks of light appeared around him, joining together in order to shape into an arrow. Right after, True Essence gushed out of his fingertips, infusing with the arrow, causing its colour to change from red to reddish-black and increasing its strength.

"Whoosh!" The arrow immediately charged toward Ye Xiao with an extreme speed.

'That should be enough to stop him and buy me some time to escape.' Cao Lu silently thought in his heart and without wasting his time, he immediately turn and started running.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Ye Xiao. But his expression immediately felt. To his dismay, Ye Xiao didn't even pause to glance at the arrow coming his way.

Ye Xiao extended his hand and muttered: "Devour!"

As Ye Xiao muttered, a small black vortex appeared right in front of the arrow, swallowing it immediately.

? Ye Xiao then pointed at Cao Lu and said "Release", causing the arrow to fly out of the vortex on its own and shot toward Cao Lu at twice the speed that it came shooting at Ye Xiao.

"Nooo..."

Cao Lu screamed loudly and tried to escape, but he was too late. How own arrow pierced through his skull, killing him immediately.

His Divine Soul flew out of his body, trying to escape. From this, it could be seen that Cao Lu was already ready to abandon his body and escape. This might be the reason why his soul didn't suffer any injuries even though his body died instantly.

How could Ye Xiao let his Divine Soul escape?

"Soul Destruction!"

Ye Xiao again muttered two words in a very low voice, instantly destroying the escaping Divine Soul of Cao Lu.

Ye Xiao sighed and ignored them. He once again continued his journey and soon arrived in front of a giant formation. Looking at the giant formation, he muttered: "This is a formation to hide something big. What could this formation be hiding here? A mountain?"

Ye Xiao's first guess was a mountain, for this place is the depth of Demon Cloud Mountain Range. So, hiding a mountain using the formation is the easiest guess.

But he was not sure.

He started breaking the formation. To him, a person with the memories of Ancient Formation God, breaking this formation was really too easy.

He soon broke the formation. The scene in front of him blurred for a moment before a completely different scenery appeared in front of his vision.

He saw a huge construct appear out of thin air in front of him. As Ye Xiao had guessed, it used to be a tall mountain.

Yes, this was used to be a mountain, but now, it a huge building constructed out of a mountain.

It looked like a towering palace. It had three floors.

Ye Xiao was startled at first. He didn't expect to encounter something like this at this place.

Immediately, he began sprinting towards it.

He has a feeling that whatever danger brewing he had sensed earlier, it was coming from this place. He has this feeling because the sense of danger suddenly grew twofold the moment he broke the formation, making the existence of this huge mountain palace appear in front of him.

As Ye Xiao walked forward, he also curiously looked at his surroundings. He soon saw two Rulers standing outside the entrance of the mountain palace, guarding the palace.

He was surprised to see that these two Rulers actually do not realize that the formation is already broken the mountain palace could be seen from outside."

Shaking his head, Ye Xiao's figure flashed and he immediately appeared in front of these two Rulers.

"Who?"

The two of them were surprised by the sudden rustle of wind, then they sensed someone has appeared in front of them.

Before they could even see who has suddenly appeared, they felt pain in their heart. They looked down, only to see a hole in their hearts.

And with that, they fell backward. Their Divine Souls were also destroyed by Ye Xiao.

Ignoring them, Ye Xiao opened the gate and entered the mountain palace.

The moment he entered the mountain palace, he appeared in a dark corridor. This place was devoid of life. The absolute silence was its companion.
