Chapter 242 Ch 242: Essence Of King
A few minutes ago, Ye Xiao climbed the platform and sat cross-legged at the center. He was looking at the orb filled with golden liquid. He has no idea what changes the Essence of King will bring to him, but he is sure that change will not be ordinary.
This treasure was an extraordinary treasure, and the changes it will bring to a person will also be extraordinary.
However, to be on the safe side, Ye Xiao still asked the Lotus of Chaos if this was the treasure it wanted Ye Xiao to obtain. And the response he got from the Lotus of Chaos confirmed his guess.
Yes, this is the treasure!
And then, the Lotus of Chaos spoke about what kind of change it can bring to Ye Xiao.
"With every drop of Essence of King, not only your cultivation will have a swift rise, but even your body and bloodline will undergo a tremendous change. I can\'t explain the benefits with just words, you will know as long as you absorb what is in your hand."
Ye Xiao did not expect to obtain such a supreme treasure unknowingly. Although he knew the treasure Lotus of Chaos wanted him to obtain must be extraordinary, he never expected its value to far surpass his imagination.
He is currently a Major Saint Realm warrior, and this Essence of King could directly boost his cultivation to the Chaos Sovereign Realm, skipping Chaos Overlord Saint Realm, Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm, Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm, and Mystic Sovereign Realm.
As expected of a treasure nurtured by the previous King of Chaos personally for trillions of years. It could be said that Ye Xiao has never come across a treasure like the Essence of King.
Doesn\'t it mean Ren Yunfeng wanted to simply create a Supreme Expert to fight for the position of the next King in the new era?
Skipping so many cultivation realms... Would it bring any harm to his foundation?
Ye Xiao\'s focus immediately shifted in another direction as he started thinking about this treasure\'s shortcomings. It is indeed a treasure that defies common sense, however, if it\'ll bring harm to a cultivator\'s foundation, then it\'ll be a pity but he\'ll definitely not choose to absorb the Essence of King.
As if knowing what Ye Xiao was thinking, the Lotus of Chaos spoke, "Don\'t worry, this is not called Essence of King or nothing. It will only bring benefit and no harm. There are no shortcomings to this treasure. You could absorb it without any worry."
"Although there are several conditions for becoming a Chaos Sovereign Realm warrior, the Essence of King could easily skip all those conditions. Also, as long as you become a Chaos Sovereign Realm warrior, obtaining Rule Source Crystals will become extremely easy. At that time, I\'ll give you answers to all your questions without hiding anything."
"So, you should not worry and absorb every bit of King\'s Essence."
Ye Xiao understood how valuable the "Essence of King" really is. He was also quite amazed by its profoundness. However, he does not want to completely absorb the "Essence of the King" just for the sake of increasing his cultivation.
He knows that increasing cultivation could bring him infinite benefits, he could get closer to his goal, get to know who is behind everything, and obtain information about why everything started in the first place. He could get the information he wants.
Nevertheless, he was still not thinking of absorbing the Essence of the King entirely for his own cultivation.
"Can this Essence of King further expand my universe?"
Ye Xiao asked the Lotus of Chaos. It is mainly because the bigger the universe is, the more strength it could provide to Ye Xiao. Expanding his universe might even bring unexpected surprises for him, it might grant him much more strength than what he\'ll obtain by raising his cultivation base.
He was hopeful, and in a way, Lotus of Chaos\'s answer confirmed to his hope. However, the next moment, its words also shattered his hope.
"Yes, the Essence of King could easily expand your universe, however, you should get rid of this idea."
"Why?" Ye Xiao frowned. If his universe could expand further, why should he get rid of this idea?
The answer he got was, "It is because it\'ll be the waste of a supreme treasure. As long as you look for the remaining 107 Rule Source Crystals, your universe could transform into Chaos. Look at how big the Chaos is. It is so vast that even a King of Chaos could not cover the entire Chaos in a short period of time. Every Rule Source Crystal absorbed by me will bring a surge of expansion to your universe. The Laws of your universe will change, several laws will fuse and transform into a Rule."
"When your universe could expand infinitely just by getting your hands on the Rule Source Crystals, why do you want to waste the Essence of King?"
Now that Ye Xiao thinks about it, the Lotus of Chaos is right. Since his universe could infinitely expand with the help of Rule Source Crystals, why should he waste this ultimate resource for the same result?
Ye Xiao looked at the orb in his hand again and took a deep breath. It seems this journey of his was meant to bring him directly to the top. He was ready to absorb the Essence of a King and become a Chaos Sovereign in one go.
However, exactly at this moment, he suddenly remembered something. He remembered what Ning Xuan told him before.
According to Ning Xuan, he will create the "Blood Devour" and devour the entire Sea of Blood, raising his cultivation from the Great Saint Realm to the Heavenly Saint Realm. Also, Ye Xiao will leave the Land of Morning Stars together with two thieves.
However, now it seems he will already become a Chaos Sovereign Realm warrior before returning to the Land of Morning Stars. He has also not recomprehended the "Blood Devour" ability. Not to mention, he has no idea who the two thieves are.
Could it be that the future has changed somehow?
Ye Xiao could not control his curiosity and asked the Lotus of Chaos. After a moment of silence, the Lotus of Chaos spoke, "Actually, nothing is fixed, mainly when it comes to the future. The future is ever-changing. Even the slightest interference of someone could change the future greatly."
"The Three-layered Origin Fluid should have been yours, but now it belongs to Ning Xuan. The future had already changed when Ning Xuan comprehended Blood Devour from his visions and decided to obtain the Three-layered Origin Fluid."
"Nothing is constant. You should not worry about these things. Just focus on increasing your strength. The sooner you become stronger, the sooner you\'ll be aware of all the truths."
Ye Xiao nodded in understanding. He found the words of Lotus of Chaos logical and reasonable.
Not thinking of anything useless, Ye Xiao focused on the Essence of the King in his hand. Then he carefully took out a drop of Essence from the orb and kept the orb in his spatial ring.
Opening his mouth, he gulped down that drop of Essence of King.
As the drop of "Essence of King" slid down his throat, Ye Xiao felt an instant tingle, like a thousand fireflies dancing across his skin. His heart raced, matching the rhythm of the surge of energy that suddenly appeared inside his body. It was as if time itself had slowed, stretching each moment into an eternity of sensation, Ye Xiao entered a mysterious state.
A rush of warmth spread from his belly, flowing through his veins like a river of liquid gold. His muscles tensed and then relaxed, a sensation akin to the gentlest of breezes brushing against his skin. He closed his eyes, and suddenly, his mind felt as clear as a tranquil pond reflecting the moon\'s glow.
Every pore of his being hummed with energy, it was like a symphony of vitality that resonated with the very essence of life. It was a sensation that defied description, an awakening that surpassed the wildest dreams of his imagination.
Ye Xiao felt connected, not just to himself, but to the world around him in ways he had never experienced before.
Colors seemed to deepen, as if the Myriad Plane Dimensions itself had turned up its saturation. He could hear the faint rustling of leaves, the distant song of a bird, and the whispers of the wind weaving tales of billions of years of history of the Myriad Plane Dimensions.
Ye Xiao\'s senses were heightened as if he could taste the very fragrance of the flowers carried by the breeze.
His body felt weightless as if he could lift off and soar through the heavens. A smile played on his lips as he stretched his arms, feeling the air caress his fingertips. It was a sensation of freedom, of being unburdened by the constraints of the physical world.
