Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao guessed that the skeletons here must be the people who came before him throughout the years from ancient times.

It also confirmed that he was not the only one to discover this place. There were many predecessors but without a doubt, all of them were nothing more than just skeletons.

Ye Xiao guessed that their death must be related to the demonic beast in front of the huge bronze gate.

As Ye Xiao was staring at the skeletons, his entire body suddenly shivered as he felt a cold chill running down his spine. He felt as if an extremely terrifying existence was glaring at him with cold eyes.

Ye Xiao lightly shifted his gaze to the demonic beast and saw it looking at him with its big orange eyes. Its eyes were like snake eyes and had inverted pupils. The demonic beast was still sitting on the ground comfortably and was only looking at Ye Xiao like any ordinary being can look, but this look alone was making Ye Xiao feel as if he was being stared at by a mountain-tall beast that could kill him with a soft stream of air from its big mouth.

Ye Xiao could not help but swallow his saliva and take a few steps back. He felt extremely weak in front of this demonic beast. He felt so weak that he could not even feel an ounce of strength in his body. It was as if he went limp as he fell down on the ground.

The demonic beast did nothing to him, it was just staring at him. There was not the slightest of the aura being emitted out from this dragon-like demonic beast's body. It was not like the demonic beast did anything to Ye Xiao but even so, Ye Xiao felt so much pressure that he even forgot to run away.

Well, it would not have mattered even if he tried to run away. It was because the demonic beast in front of him was so strong that it could have killed him before even he tried to run. Also, let's say he succeeded in running away from the demonic beast, so what? What can he do?

It was not like he could go out of this mountain. If he wanted to go out of this mountain, he have to look for a way out. And Ye Xiao had seen nothing along the way to the demonic beast. The only thing that could lead him out of the mountain might be the bronze door in front of him.

There was also the gate on the Fifth Floor of Nine Story Pagoda that could teleport him out, but right now, in this situation, this thought didn't even cross in Ye Xiao's mind.

It was the first time Ye Xiao ever felt this kind of fear in his heart. It was also the first time Ye Xiao ever felt so helpless that he could not even do anything.

The other party was at least a Divine Lord Level demonic beast while he himself was only a tiny Martial King Realm martial artist right now. Even if his true cultivation base was not sealed, he would only have been at the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm.

What could he do in front of a Divine Level Being with his strength at the Immortal Emperor Realm?

The answer was nothing. He could do nothing and could only see himself being killed!

Strength!

All he needed was strength!

At this time, Ye Xiao was again reminded that he was too weak. So what if his cultivation base increased to the Immortal Emperor Realm? So what if he could face even Dao Body Stage martial artists with his current strength?

He was still too weak when it comes to a true strong being, such as the demonic beast in front of him.

Calming his breath, Ye Xiao again stood up and looked at the demonic beast. He knew that he could not run away so he did not even think of running. He started waiting for the demonic beast to take action.

Now that he calmed down his breath, he also got hold of a single ray of hope that could take him out of here alive: The Universe of Heavenly Pearl!

If he really was about to die, he'll directly enter the Nine Story Pagoda, and using the gate on the fifth floor, he'll teleport out!

"Have you calmed down?"

Suddenly, the demonic beast asked Ye Xiao and it almost freaked Ye Xiao out.

Again calming his breath, Ye Xiao nodded his head. He was not that surprised on the matter of a demonic beast talking. Even some rare immortal demonic beast could talk, let alone a Divine Level Demonic Beast. It could naturally talk.

Ye Xiao nodded in reply.

The demonic beast then said: "Welcome to the land of trial!"

"Land of the trial?" Ye Xiao was confused when he heard this.

The demonic beast nodded his head and replied, "I'll tell you everything so you need to focus and listen."

"Eons ago, in the Primordial Era, there existed many races. After a great war, many races were destroyed. One of the most ancient races is called the Primordial Race!"

"Primordial Race?"

Ye Xiao raised his brows in surprise when he heard this. It was because he knew a few things about the Celestial Race. When he just broke through to the Immortal Foundation Realm and evolved his dantian into the Small World, he was mysteriously sucked inside a dark space where he saw the birth of Heavens and the Universe of Heavenly Pearl.

There, he saw how the Heavens gave birth to the nine ancestral dragons and Queen. He also saw the birth of many races. The first-ever race to appear under the Heavens called themselves the Primordial Race.

Ye Xiao had witnessed the birth of the Primordial Race. So, he knew that the Primordial Race is the strongest race that has ever appeared. The child of the primordial race already has the cultivation base above Martial Saint Realm at their birth. But this was not their strongest aspect. The most terrifying thing about the people of Primordial Race was that they don't need to cultivate in order to absorb the True Essence from Heaven and Earth. Their body could absorb the True Essence on its own without them needing to cultivate it.

[Author's Note: Ref. Ch 319. Those who have forgotten, when the Heavens was just born, there was no such thing as the Lower Realm, Upper Realm, or the Divine Realm. There was also not a single trace of Spirit Energy. There was only True Essence!]

The people of the Primordial Race have a strange mark on their forehead. If looking closely, the mark on their forehead looked like a pair of wings and a domineering crown. It was extremely strange-looking but also too domineering. It was as if there was a profound meaning hidden inside this mark, if one could comprehend this profound meaning, they could rule the Heavens!

Ye Xiao was really shocked when he heard the demonic beast in front of him talking about the Primordial Race!

The demonic beast was observing Ye Xiao. Seeing many expressions appearing on his face, the demonic beast understood something and said: "I did not expect to meet someone after eons who have heard about the Primordial Race."

"Tell me, what do you know about the Primordial Race?"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and answered his question to what he knew. He had seen the birth of the Primordial race and their rise. Other than the Primordial Race, he also knew about the second-ever race to appear who called themselves the Ancient Race.

When the demonic beast heard Ye Xiao's answer, it nodded its head and said with a lit of emotion in its voice, "You really know about the Primordial Race, it is really surprising. I didn't expect the name of Primordial Race to still be around!"

Ye Xiao did not say anything this time. How could he tell this demonic beast that it was not that the name of Primordial Race was still known, it was just that he had witnessed the birth of this race? Only because of this did he know about the Primordial Race!

"Well, since you know about the Primordial Race, it'll be easy for me to explain!"

The demonic beast once again started speaking. He said, "In a great war eons ago, the Primordial Race was destroyed because it had supported someone that the Heavens did not allow to. The entire Primordial Race was exterminated by the army of Heavens and only a few people were able to keep their lives. But... They were also badly injured, to the extent that they knew they will die very soon. They did not want their entire race to disappear just like that, so they made a few trial grounds for the future generation of various races."
