…
Even his own subordinates were unable to see his face. That guy hid his face deep enough.
Forget it, it was not the time to think about that. Anyway, it would be impossible for him to break through the dimensional barrier and rush over in a short period of time.
Ye Xiao returned to Xuan Yuan Mountain very quickly. At that time, the Sacred Sovereigns of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect had just captured those archaic Sacred Sovereigns traitors and handed them over to Ye Xiao.
“Lord Ye, these fellows wanted to take the opportunity to escape but were discovered by us and brought back. Please punish them.”
Ye Xiao nodded and then waved his hand.
“Alright, all of you can leave.”
“Yes!”
Those people immediately left.
Those archaic Sacred Sovereigns looked at Ye Xiao with ice-cold faces.
Although their faces were already filled with despair, they did not say anything.
Actually, it was not that they did not want to say it. Just before that, they had already begged for mercy from Ye Xiao’s subordinates, which were the other Xuan Yuan immortal sect’s Sacred Sovereigns, but they did not receive a pardon.
Facing Ye Xiao, their hearts were already as dead as ashes. They knew that it was impossible to receive a pardon, so there was no need to use their dignity to be trampled on by the other party.
However, Ye Xiao did not directly attack them. He only said indifferently,
“I can give all of you a chance. As long as all of you reveal the positions of all your other companions, I can let all of you live.”
Of course, he would not let the other party live. Saying that was just to lure out all of the other companions of the other party.
Although Ye Xiao no longer needed to absorb additional Sacred Sovereigns to raise his cultivation, those people were all traitors of their universe and deserved it the most. Ye Xiao would definitely not let them off.
After all, there had to be a reward for the interrogation. Otherwise, how could the other party take the bait?
Unfortunately, that move of his did not have any effect.
The other party was already experienced and was not so easy to fool.
They all knew how powerful Ye Xiao’s methods were!
A strong person’s words could not be counted.
Ye Xiao wanted to go back on his words, but it was just a matter of casually moving his lips.
Hence, they did not say anything.
Ye Xiao saw that the method did not work, so he was not anxious. Instead, he continued to speak once more:
“I know that all of you are unwilling to believe me, but speaking of which, why would all of you rather not believe even the people of your own universe? Instead, why would you believe the people of other universes?
“Don’t all of you feel that this is too ridiculous?”
“What exactly do you want to say?”
Among those few archaic Sacred Sovereign traitors, one of them could not help but speak.
Ye Xiao immediately said,
“What I want to tell all of you is that the Lord that all of you are loyal to is merely treating all of you as a bunch of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
“All of you absorbed the World Creation fragment in this world and worked hard to raise your cultivation to the peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures with great difficulty. You thought that you could go to his world and receive his guidance to help you advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm.
“But in reality, as long as all of you go over, you will be instantly killed by him. After that, all of your hard work will become nourishment for him and help him raise his cultivation.”
“You’re spouting nonsense.”
Those few traitor archaic Sacred Sovereigns directly opened their mouths and rebuked angrily on the spot.
Ye Xiao was not angry either. He only smiled faintly and said,
“It doesn’t matter. All of you can not believe it because no one has told you about this matter before. Your beliefs have long been deeply rooted.
“However, after I killed the high emissary you mentioned, I suddenly discovered some interesting memories. I think you will be very interested.”
After saying that, he directly transmitted all the memories he had obtained into their minds.
The few of them looked at him warily and began to analyze the authenticity of that memory. After repeatedly confirming that the memory was real, their beliefs completely collapsed.
“How… How could this be?”
“I don’t believe it! This isn’t real.”
The faces of the Sacred Sovereignsinstantly turned pale. Some of them even staggered back two steps and then sat down on the ground.
They did not want to believe the memory they saw. Despite that, the memory was the truth.
At that moment, they did not know how to express their feelings of despair. They were all dumbfounded.
They thought that it was an opportunity for them to become Celestial Sovereigns, but they did not expect that it was only a scheme set up by others in the end.
In the end, they were all just playthings in the hands of others.
That huge psychological gap made them feel even more uncomfortable.
Ye Xiao did not continue speaking. Instead, he gave them some time to digest.
That was because he knew that their emotions were the most unbearable at that moment. If he continued to attack them then, it was very likely that they would completely collapse and beg for death. They would no longer have any emotions. That was not what he wanted.
He still wanted to use those people to help him find the remaining Sacred Sovereigns. Then, he would try his best to snatch back the World Creation fragment that they had stolen.
Only in that way would he be able to successfully advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm as much as possible.
At present, the number of World Creation fragments that they had stolen from their world was really too much. The power of the origin laws was lacking too much.
After a long while, Ye Xiao saw the despair in their eyes and it had already somewhat eased up. What replaced it was gradually rising anger.
He knew that time was up.
Hence, he said indifferently,
“All of you have been deceived by them for so many years. Even those seniors of yours might have already become fodder for the other party. To put it bluntly, you might even be treated as sh*t by others.
“Among those seniors, there should also be your masters, elders, or relatives and friends, right?
“Do you want to avenge them or just watch them get away with it after they made use of all of you and still live a carefree life?”
The various Sacred Sovereigns clenched their teeth.
It was very obvious that they were definitely unwilling.
However, to make them agree to Ye Xiao right then,it would definitely be quite uncomfortable in their hearts for a short while.
After all, both parties were still enemies just a moment ago. To make them cooperate with Ye Xiao in the blink of an eye, their hearts were also somewhat unbearable.
After hesitating for a long while, among them, a Sacred Sovereign opened his mouth and said,
“If we tell you, will you let us off?”
Ye Xiao nodded.
“Of course. My current cultivation is already the strongest in this universe. Right now, no one is my match. There’s no need for me to do those things that lie to you. It’s meaningless.
“Moreover, if I don’t keep my word, wouldn’t that be slapping my own face?”
Hearing those words, although the various Sacred Sovereigns did not completely believe it, they at least had a trace of comfort in their hearts. At the very least, they gave themselves an excuse to open their mouths and say it out.
After that, even if Ye Xiao went back on his word and broke his promise, at least, it was not something they were willing to do on their own accord.
Those things were completely two different concepts.
There was no other way!
That kind of psychological comfort was often very important.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, one of the Sacred Sovereigns finally opened his mouth.
“We are currently scattered at a relatively remote location from the Xuan Yuan immortal sect. The main reason is to prevent your divine sense from sweeping over us. The locations within are respectively…”
Under their confession, Ye Xiao very quickly obtained everyone’s positions.
He nodded and said with a faint smile,
“Thank you for your intelligence. I will choose a decent way for all of you to die.”
“…”
“Wait a minute, didn’t you just say that you would let us go?”
“I’m going back on my word.”
“No, didn’t you say that you are the strongest existence in this universe? If you don’t keep your promise, you will be slapping yourself in the face?”
“Since I am already the strongest existence in this universe, then I will slap my face if I want to. If you don’t want to slap my face, then don’t slap my face.
“Anyway, you guys can’t hit my face. I don’t care.”
After hearing those words, everyone present was instantly dumbfounded.
They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen such a shameless person.
In reality, Ye Xiao was not the kind of shameless person. However, it was just as he had said. He was already the most powerful existence in the world at that point. He would definitely do whatever he said.
If he still had to look at others’ expressions, that would be truly laughable.
Therefore, under the cursing voices of the various Sacred Sovereigns, Ye Xiao directly sent them on their way.
After devouring them, the energy in Ye Xiao’s body further improved.
Perfect!
After doing all of that, he immediately sent those positions to Sacred Sovereign Yun and the others, letting them capture the other Sacred Sovereigns according to the positions above.
If everything went as expected, after capturing all those Sacred Sovereigns and plundering the World Creation fragments from their bodies, Ye Xiao should be able to piece together a roughly complete origin law energy. He should also have a chance to successfully advance to the level of a Celestial Sovereign.
Moreover, after the revealing of the others’ locations, Sacred Sovereign Yun and the rest followed the location to search. Very soon, they caught one Sacred Sovereign powerhouse after another who was fleeing outside.
Ye Xiao devoured it rapidly. He vaguely felt that he had already touched that threshold and that large door was already slowly taking shape.
That was a feeling that he did not feel before when he did not gather enough origin law energy.
Ye Xiao knew that the time for him to succeed was almost there. It would not be long before he could successfully advance.
At that point, it was only a matter of time.
…
At the same time, in another universe, it was still that huge holy palace. The Lord of Heaven suddenly became furious.
“B*stard!”
When the various Sacred Sovereigns below heard that voice, they could not help but be shocked.
No one had expected that the Lord of Heaven would suddenly be so angry.
“Lord, what are you…”
“Xingyun has fallen.”
“What?”
Hearing that, the entire sacred hall could not help but burst into an uproar.
“What’s going on? Sacred Sovereign Xingyun has already a peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures!”
“That’s right! More importantly, the World Creation’s fragment of the 78th universe that we’ve been excavating for so many years should have lost a lot of origin law energy. It’s impossible for someone to successfully advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm.
“This meant that the opponent’s strength was at most a peak Sacred Sovereign with12 apertures. Even if they had the same cultivation base, it was impossible for them to kill Sacred Sovereign Xingyun in such a short time.
“This doesn’t make sense.
“Moreover, Sacred Sovereign Xingyun still has a sacred weapon
“Could it be that there isn’t only one peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures in that universe?”
“No!”
The Lord said coldly.
“There is indeed only one peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures in that universe. However, this fellow’s cultivation base is very strong and his combat techniques are far superior to ordinary people. That’s why he was able to successfully kill Xingyun.
“Moreover, he also has a sacred weapon.”
Hearing theose words, everyone’s hearts could not help but stir up waves again.
There was actually such a crazy thing. He could actually kill a cultivator of the same level within such a short period of time.
Moreover, he also had a sacred weapon.
That fellow’s methods were so powerful that it was somewhat beyond their expectations.
“Lord, please calm down! He might indeed have some small tricks that allowed him to successfully kill Senior Xingyun!
“However, as you’ve just said, he’s the only one in that universe who has the cultivation of the peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures.
“If we can get past him and have a few people join hands to deal with him, we’ll definitely be able to take him down easily.”
The Lord nodded.
“Not only did this guy ruin my plan, he also killed my subordinates. No matter what, I won’t let him off!
“This time, I will do my best to open the space-time gate even wider. You five Sacred Sovereigns, go to the peak Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures. After you kill him, quickly retreat. Otherwise, if the supreme will finds out… I will be in big trouble.”
“I will obey Your Majesty’s decree!”
“Okay! Get ready, I will open the space-time gate now!”
“Yes!”
The Lord immediately began to use his own power to open the space-time gate that led to Universe 78.
…
On the other side, in Universe 78, in the Xuan Yuan Mountain of the Xuan Yuan immortal territory, Ye Xiao had finally gathered enough origin energy.
He plundered a portion of the origin energy formed from the World Creation fragments from the bodies of those Sacred Sovereigns. Then, together with the majority of the origin energy in the universe that was already incomplete, he finally broke through the threshold that he needed to completely repaired it.
After doing all that, he felt the energy in his body begin to tremble continuously. It was like the surface of a rippling ocean, emitting thunderclaps.
At that moment, all the stars in the starry sky began to tremble, flashing with a terrifying radiance!
Suddenly, all the living beings in the starry sky began to feel a sense of wanting to submit.
