Chapter 14 Ch 14: Soul Destruction
"Father, when did you give a High Grade Soulbound Weapon to Xiaolong? Why did I not know?"
Just like everyone else, Ling Cheng, Ye Lihua, and Ye Moling were shocked. Ling Cheng immediately asked Ling Wei Long. Even Ye Lihua and Ye Moling started looking at him, waiting for his answer.
Ling Wei Long shook his head and laughed bitterly. He could not say anyone what he witnessed when Ye Xiao was born, and at the same time, telling everyone that he gave Ye Xiao the Soulbound Weapon will also be a lie.
Nevertheless, he has to answer them something.
However, before he could even say something, he saw Ye Xiao raising the Infinity Edge Blade and the next moment, everyone witnessed a shocking scene.
Ye Xiao\'s action attracted everyone\'s attention and Ling Wei Long was saved from giving an answer.
Everyone\'s eyes widened in extreme shock as they saw the Abyssal Energy rising from the resentful souls and rushing toward the Infinity Edge Blade.
They saw the Infinity Edge Blade glowing with resplendent light as it started devouring the Abyssal Energy.
It has to be known that Abyssal Energy is a very unique energy that could take the life of anyone affected by it. Although there are cures for this Abyssal Energy, but maybe only those forces located on big Lands in Chaos know how to solve the problem related to Abyssal Energy.
But now, everyone actually witnessed a Soulbound Weapon devouring the Abyssal Energy as if it was devouring a delicacy.
Actually, the Infinity Edge Blade is very unique. This weapon was created from not only a specific body part of Nine Ancestral Dragons but also from the Source of Heavens. When it was just created, it was already an Empyrean Grade Weapon.
And because of the Lotus of Chaos, it evolved from Empyrean Grade Treasure to a Soulbound Treasure.
Ye Xiao has no idea what changes appeared in the Infinity Edge Blade after its evolution.
Previously, when everyone was thinking of retreating and he was thinking about how to solve the problem, the Infinity Edge Blade suddenly reacted and sent Ye Xiao an emotion. Ye Xiao felt as if the Infinity Edge Blade was telling him that it could solve the problem. He just has to get to the center of the garden.
Now that Ye Xiao was standing at the center of the garden, the Infinity Edge Blade exerted the force of attraction and started extracting the Abyssal Energy from resentful souls around Ye Xiao. It showed a great attraction toward Abyssal Energy, as if the Abyssal Energy was not only its food but also a way to achieve another evolution.
It is just that the amount of Abyssal Energy needed was too huge.
The speed of devouring was too fast and in less than two minutes, every single resentful soul was freed of Abyssal Energy. Every bit of Abyssal Energy invaded deep within these souls was extracted.
Now, all these resentful souls were pure souls, not affected by any foreign energy.
Ye Xiao could feel the satisfaction of Infinity Edge Blade. After devouring so much Abyssal Energy, it seems to be thrilled.
Ye Xiao wished and the Infinity Edge Blade turned into fragments of light before disappearing into his body, turning into a blade-shaped imprint that soon disappeared.
Without waiting for anyone to react, Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense, locked onto every single resentful soul, and then looked at his family before smiling at them.
His family could not understand why Ye Xiao was smiling at them, but then, they heard Ye Xiao speaking: "Soul Destruction".
And all the resentful souls working hard to give birth to resentments to nurture something underground suddenly shattered into countless fragments of starry blue light before scattering everywhere and disappearing.
"This...?"
All the people present were shocked.
"How could this be?"
"How did Young Master Xiaolong do this?"
"How did he wipe out so many resentful souls at once."
"Why are you talking about resentful souls, did you all not notice what Young Master Xiaolong did before? He took out a High Grade Soulbound Weapon and extracted every bit of Abyssal Energy from those resentful souls with the help of that weapon. Although that weapon is only High Grade Soulbound Weapon, its value must exceed even Heavenly Soul Weapons."
"Yes, you are right. Now that I think about it, no wonder Young Master Xiaolong is blessed by the Moring Stars. He is born to achieve greatness. He is just eight and did something that even we old men could not do."
"It has to be said that Illusionary Spirit Gate is really generous. They actually gave such a precious treasure to a child. Are they not afraid of Young Master Xiaolong being targeted by the world when alone?"
"Who knows what Illusionary Spirit Gate is thinking, but I\'m sure about one thing. If Young Master Xiaolong could stay alive and mature, no one would be his match. It could be said that he might even unite every Region of our Land of Morning Stars."
"Yes, you are right. Look at him. He already showed the shadow of a Ruler. If he could really mature and no accident happened, then not only our Land but other Lands out there will know his name as well."
Just like that, a lot of discussion about Ye Xiao started among the people gathered at the border of the garden. All of them were very shocked by the display of Ye Xiao\'s prowess. Ye Xiao\'s strength at such a young age made them look at him with awe and bewilderment. Everyone was baffled and knew Ye Xiao might be much more than what they have previously heard and seen.
As expected of someone blessed by the Land of Morning Stars. He really was capable of doing those things that are impossible for others to even think of doing.
Just like the current situation.
Everyone was thinking of retreating because of the appearance of Abyssal Energy. No one even thought of fighting back or trying to deal with the Abyssal Energy. But at this time, Ye Xiao stepped forward and not only got rid of the Abyssal Energy very easily but also destroyed all the resentful souls with just two words.
Yes, this was what they were more shocked about than Ye Xiao getting rid of Abyssal Energy.
They just could not think of how Ye Xiao did that.
How Ye Xiao destroyed all the resentful souls at once with just two words?
It was just too amazing.
When everyone came back to their senses, they suddenly witnessed another phenomenon appearing in the sky. The red clouds above the Ye Family started flickering with red lightning and the rumbling of thunder reverberated in the sky, so loudly that it forced everyone to close their ears.
The red lightning in the sky started getting denser and denser, and then there came a time when the entire sky above the Ye Family was rumbling with red thunder. Everything became completely red.
A boundless aura suddenly descended on everyone, forcing them to bend their upper body and making them feel as if a mountain was standing on their backs
"This... Why is this happening? What kind of phenomenon is this?"
"I don\'t know what is happening, but it seems as long as the last formation is broken, this phenomenon will definitely get stronger."
"What exactly is the relationship between the formation and the phenomenon in the sky? Why is it that every time a formation is broken, the phenomenon will get stronger?"
"I think everything is related to the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor. As long as the tomb is revealed and we explore the tomb, everything will become clearer."
.....
Ling Wei Long walked to Ye Xiao and asked the question that was constantly attacking his mind. "Xiaolong, how did you destroy all those souls so easily?"
He did not ask anything about the Infinity Edge Blade, and it is because everything thinks that the Soulbound Weapon in Ye Xiao\'s hand is something he gave. Although he knew the truth about the Soulbound Weapon and how it appeared in Ye Xiao\'s hand, he was not a fool to reveal everything to everyone.
He did not want to cause trouble for himself.
Well, the moment Ye Xiao\'s blade devoured the Abyssal Energy, they were already destined to face trouble and it is something Ling Wei Long knows very well.
After all, that blade is something that could actually get rid of the Abyssal Energy. It could even be said that this Soulbound Weapon was more valuable than most of the Heavenly Soul Weapons.
How could the forces who know about this weapon not place their eyes on it? How could they not want to obtain this weapon?
However, Ling Wei Long was also sure that as long as Ye Xiao is in the Illusionary Spirit Gate, he will be safe.
And he was determined to not let Ye Xiao out of the Illusionary Spirit Gate as long as he don\'t step into at least the Chaos Spirit Realm.
