Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao sat down on the ground as he was too tired and badly injured at this moment. Not only his entire body was burned charred black by the lightning bolt, but his internal organs were also in mess.

"You have finally done it!"

Exactly at this time, he heard a familiar sound. Ye Xiao looked in his sea of consciousness and saw the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon looking at him with its big golden eyes.

The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon once again said, "Quickly enter the Heavenly Pearl and look for the Queen of Plants. She can heal you almost instantly. You don't have much time so hurry up!"

"Queen of Plants? Do you mean Little Yellow?"

"And, what do you mean when you said I don't have much ti...?"

Cr-crack!

Before Ye Xiao could complete his sentence, he heard a cracking sound coming out from his dantian. He hurriedly looked and saw that some cracks appeared on the dragon-shaped core and it was actually spreading slowly.

The Dragon-Shaped Core was about to explode!

Ye Xiao was terrified again. If the dragon-shaped core exploded at this moment, he didn't know if he could endure the explosion and pain as he was already very badly injured right now.

He also understood at this moment why the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon told him to find Little Yellow quickly.

Without wasting any time, he entered the Heavenly Pearl and appeared on the Grassland. He looked around but didn't see Little Yellow.

"She must have again gone to the forest here. How can I search for in a short amount of time when I don't even know how large that forest exactly is?" Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice as he ran toward the forest with his injured body.

He was feeling immense pain but what can he do at this moment? He has to look for her no matter what.

"Little Yellow! Little Yellow!"

Ye Xiao started to shout when he arrived at the periphery of the forest. He did not know how to search for her so he just started to shout and call the name that he gave her.

"Didn't I told you to call me 'Queen'!"

When he was still shouting, he suddenly heard a childish but arrogant voice. He looked in the direction from where the childish voice came and saw that there was actually a five or six years old beautiful and cute girl standing and looking at him.

"Are you Little Yellow?" Ye Xiao was surprised to see her. He first thought that how come a child appeared here but when he thought about it, he found it impossible for anyone to appear here if he himself did not bring them here.

Then there was only one thing possible and that is that Little Yellow somehow took the form of a human girl.

"Humph! Call me Queen!" That little girl once again told him arrogantly to call her Queen!

"Little Yellow, I don't have time right now. Hurry up and heal me!" Ye Xiao did not call her 'Queen' nor did he paid any attention to what she said. Time was running out as the crack has almost covered the area around two-fourth of the dragon-shaped core.

Little Yellow was about to retort him once again but at this moment she finally realised that Ye Xiao was charred black as if he was burned by a terrifying flame. Not only that, but there was also traces of blood on his lips and chin.

Seeing all of this, Little Yellow did not say what she was about to say. She just waved her hand and a drop of green liquid came from her hand and flew toward Ye Xiao. That drop of green liquid directly entered into Ye Xiao's mouth. Ye Xiao only managed to sense that it tasted sweet before it quickly slid down his throat and rapidly spread throughout his body. His wounds began to quickly heal.

The black burned parts of his skin slowly fell off. In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, his body had recovered eighty to ninety percent. This was much more miraculous than any healing pills!

"This is..." Ye Xiao was surprised beyond belief seeing this.

"No need to be surprised. She is the Queen of Plants and she can do much more things than just healing you." At this moment, Ye Xiao once again heard the voice of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon in his mind.

"Hurry up and go at the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique!" Ye Xiao was about to say something when he once again heard the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon's voice in his mind.

"Little Yellow, see you later!" Ye Xiao looked at the five years old little girl in front of him and said. Then he immediately ran toward the Nine Story Pagoda.

"How do you know about my cultivation technique and Little Yellow, in fact, how do you know so much about me?" While running, Ye Xiao asked this question to the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

"You don't need to know about that right now. You will know in the future." The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon said him emotionlessly.

"Ok then at least tell me, exactly why did I encounter a Heavenly Tribulation when I just break through to the Martial King Realm?" Ye Xiao did not dwell over the previous matter anymore and asked something which was more important to know at this time.

"This heavenly punishment mostly focused on destroying your will. If your will wasn't sturdy enough, your mind and soul would have been exterminated by the heavenly tribulation," said the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

"What is this heavenly punishment?" Ye Xiao once again asked as he does not understand anything about the Heavenly Punishment.

"To others, it is just a little test from the heavens to see if they deserve the new strength they gained after breaking through to the new realm or not but for you, it is the will of the Heavenly Daos. Anyone that can threaten the Heavenly Daos, will attract its punishment when advancing."

"Threaten the Heavenly Daos? Could that be because of the Heavenly Pearl and the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique?" Ye Xiao could not think of any other things at this moment. Only the Heavenly Pearl that he got by an accident, was truly heaven-defying.

Not only he could merge with the memories of three Ancient Gods because of the Heavenly Pearl, but he can also create nine dragons in his sea of consciousness and use their abilities as he wishes because of the cultivation technique he got from the Heavenly Pearl.

There were also the twelve mines. One of those mines was filled with the Low-Grade Spirit Stones. He did not know what other mines had in them, but he did know that those things will definitely be more valuable than the Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"There are some things that I can't tell you too much about, or it wouldn't be beneficial to you." The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon replied him. It stopped for a moment then again said, "You just need to know that you are now an existence that could threaten the Heavens in the future and to exterminate you, a threat, the Heavens will do anything it could. Just like this time, everyone encounters Heavenly Tribulation when they advance to the Martial Ancestor Realm but you encountered it when you just break through to the Martial King Realm."

When Ye Xiao heard this, he thought of the moment when he was locked by the immense pressure. That heavenly punishment had released an unstoppable aura. He had been trying to flee originally, but he noticed that he could not.

At the same time, he also understood just how important a powerful will was for martial cultivators. Cultivation was fundamentally a path of no retreat.

He took a deep breath. Thinking back to that bolt of lightning, Ye Xiao shivered. That lightning bolt was something he had been completely unable to resist.

Then he once again thought in his heart, "Was it really as the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon said, and the heavenly punishment only tested my will? If my will had broken down, would I have been destroyed beneath that heavenly punishment?"

Now, whenever Ye Xiao thinks back to when he was still facing the Heavenly Tribulation, he trembles in fear.

Ye Xiao once again arrived in front of the Nine Story Pagoda and without stopping, he directly entered it. The cracks covered more than three-fourth of the dragon-shaped core in his dantian.

He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. The moment he started circulating his cultivation technique, the speed at which the crack was spreading on the dragon-shaped core, increased suddenly.

Not long after, the dragon-shaped core was filled with cracks and was about to explode.
