King Of Chaos

Chapter 239 Ch 239: Obtaining The Phoenix Bloodpetal

?

At the center of this calm spot directly in the riverbed, something amazing was there. It was the Phoenix Bloodpetal.

There was only one petal, and this bright red petal was suspended one meter above the riverbed, glowing in a strange way. It seemed to be untouched by the strong currents around it. This petal held a special power that was hard to resist.

Even though it was in the depth of the river of blood, this place was like a safe haven. It was a quiet space within the chaos of blood, where the Phoenix Bloodpetal grew. Ye Xiao's journey led him here, where he would face challenges to obtain these special petals for himself.

....

Ye Xiao cautiously stepped into the calm area amidst the river of blood. The moment he stepped foot here, he immediately felt a great change in the surroundings. The demonic aura of Blood River and the stench of blood disappeared. The air felt different here, calmer and less oppressive.

He also stepped on the water's surface as if he was stepping on solid ground, only ripples of water was formed. That's all.

"It is glamorous!"

Ye Xiao muttered as he noticed the glowing patterns on the riverbed, like ancient symbols that held some sort of secret power. As he observed, his eyes landed on the vibrant red Phoenix Bloodpetal floating gently not far above the riverbed.

A smile appeared on Ye Xiao and he instinctively knew that this is the Phoenix Bloodpetal he wanted to obtain. It was really special, and even the place it was located in was also special.

"I should not take any risk here!"

With this thought in mind, Ye Xiao immediately teleported right in front of the Phoenix Bloodpetal. He avoided diving inside the river of blood and approaching the Phoenix Bloodpetal slowly.

When he was in front of the Phoenix Bloodpetal, his breathing became smoother and more comfortable.

Raising his hand, he approached the Phoenix Bloodpetal. 

Approaching the petal, he felt a soothing warmth emanating from the petal. This petal seemed to be surrounded by a protective energy that kept them safe from the raging currents. As he reached out, his fingers brushed against the smooth surface of a petal, and he felt a surge of vitality coursing through him.

With careful hands, he caught the Phoenix Bloodpetal without any problem.

Ye Xiao could feel extremely calm energy filled with serenity from the Phoenix Bloodpetal. He marveled at their beauty and the tranquil energy this Bloodpetal held.

"This is indeed very beautiful!" Ye Xiao murmured and then placed the petal inside his spatial ring.

"Shit!"

Ye Xiao cursed loudly and disappeared from the place he was standing. It is because the moment the Phoenix Bloodpetal disappeared, the strange pattern gathered with destructive light, ready to blow this place up.

The next moment, Ye Xiao appeared miles away in the air above the river of blood and witnessed the destruction of this world.

BOOOOM~

A loud explosion occurred in the depth of the Blood River that brought a tsunami. The blood boiled and giant waves rose in the sky before sweeping over in every direction. Along with the birth of the tsunami, Ye Xiao could feel the space itself was collapsing. This world, this realm, this spatial zone was collapsing at a very fast speed.

Before Ye Xiao could react, the tsunami had already reached him.

"Woosh!"

Without a second thought, Ye Xiao teleported away once again. He has obtained his goal but has no idea what to do next. He has no idea how to leave this place alive.

"Damn!" Ye Xiao cursed and shouted, "I have already obtained the Phoenix Bloodpetal. Bring me out of this place!"

Ye Xiao shouted with some hope, he was hoping for the previous King of Chaos to be watching him. If that is the case, then if Ren Yunfeng took action, he could bring Ye Xiao out of this spatial zone that has already initiated its destruction for some reason.

Maybe, the reason is the removal of Phoenix Bloodpetal from its original place.

Other than that, Ye Xiao could not think of a situation. After all, it was at that moment this situation occurred.

"Ahhhh...."

"Where am I?"

"What is happening here?"

Ye Xiao had yet to find a way out, but another person suddenly appeared not far away from him. This person appeared in this space out of nowhere, as if he was teleported here by someone or something with some purpose.

Ye Xiao had been to several new spatial zones in his time inside the Myriad Plane Dimensions, so he doesn't know if this person was sent here by King Ren Yunfeng or if he just happened to teleport here in such a perilous moment.

This person was none other than Han Xiang.

When Han Xiang appeared in this place, he saw a terrifying sight. He saw the sky boiling river below him and the sky being covered in giant waves. He could also feel the entire spatial zone trembling violently, crumbling down slowly, going through an obvious process of destruction where even space was falling apart slowly.

.....

A few hours ago...

In the vast black and white desert, Han Xiang's weary figure could be spotted in the distance as he journeyed back towards the oasis.

With each step, he held a sense of relief, gazing at the oasis with its vivid colors that contrasted the dullness around him.

Looking at the colorful oasis, he sighed deeply and mumbled with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "This oasis is truly a haven!"

Sighing again, Han Xiang muttered, "I have gone to several places, covered an unknown area in this colorless desert, however, I never come across a second lively place like this oasis."

"What is so special about this place that makes it the only colorful place in this black-and-white world?"

As Han Xiang was deeply in thought, something unexpected happened suddenly.

The tranquil oasis was shattered by a sudden brilliance that emanated from the depth of the lake. As if consumed by the light, Han Xiang was enveloped in that brilliant light and vanished into thin air, leaving only an echo of his bewildered thoughts.

The surroundings seemed to hold their breath, the air still and charged with an aura of uncertainty. The oasis, once serene, now held an air of mystery, its vibrant hues contrasting against the starkness of the black-and-white world.

Amidst the puzzling disappearance, the black and white desert stood silent, devoid of answers.

Questions filled the atmosphere, mirroring the confusion within Han Xiang's mind as he found himself in a new realm, detached from the oasis he had sought solace in. The vibrant colors that had once captivated him were replaced by an unfamiliar expanse, shrouded in red.

As Han Xiang adjusted to his new surroundings, he was shocked to discover the next second that the new spatial zone he appeared in was actually on the verge of destruction. The space was crumbling and so was this world.

He could not help but think whether he was teleported here just to die.

"I have stayed near that oasis for seven days straight, but nothing happened. I took a bath in the lake, caught many fishes and ate them but nothing happened. Why is it that I was suddenly teleported here the moment I returned? Why did this happen? Does it mean my time to die has come?"

Han Xiang mumbled and looked very sad. He had already lost faith in ever going out of the Myriad Plane Dimensions. He was stuck in the Myriad Plane Dimensions for more than five years but did not find a way out.

Although his strength increased a little, what is there to talk about strength when he could not even leave the Myriad Plane Dimensions?

And now, he was here, in this space, facing his death.

"So, who are you?"

As Han Xiang was already imagining his death, he suddenly heard a curious voice behind him.

"Huh?"

He was startled and retreated to a few meters.

Living in the spatial zones for years, facing unknown dangers, he had already learned to always stay cautious. It was just a moment of guard down when facing death, Han Xiang did not expect someone to silently appear behind him.

When he retreated to a distance, he saw Ye Xiao. Then he looked at the crumbling world and then looked at Ye Xiao.

"Who are you?" Han Xiang asked curiously.

"My name is Ling Xiaolong!" Ye Xiao smiled and asked in return: "And what should I call you?"

Han Xiang raised his brow in shock and cried out, "Ling Xiaolong? Don't tell me you are the Ling Xiaolong of Illusory Spirit Gate from the Land of Morning Stars?"

Now this was surprising for Ye Xiao. He did not expect to meet someone who knew him.

"You know me?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.

Han Xiang now confirmed that Ye Xiao is really Ling Xiaolong from the Illusory Spirit Gate.

He suddenly remembered that just a few years ago, he and his brother San Chang were planning to rob the grave of Illuory Spirit Gate's ancestors. And now, he was trapped here in this godforsaken place.
