Divine God Against The Heavens

Ning Yan and others left while Ye Xiao chased after the Fire Ape. He wanted to see where this Fire Ape went to. There, he might come across some clues that could help him reveal the mysteries of this Lifeless Forest.

The Fire Ape had long disappeared from his line of sight, so Ye Xiao released his Divine Sense to lock down the Fire Ape. He knew in which direction the Fire Ape was running.

He kept chasing after the Fire Ape for two hours and arrived in front of a dark valley.

The Fire Ape had gone down the valley and Ye Xiao could no longer sense its existence. It was as if the Fire Ape has disappeared from the world.

Puzzled, Ye Xiao slowly went down the dark valley.

Although the valley was dark and its situation was the same as the forest outside, completely lifeless, Ye Xiao could feel an extremely devilish aura from deep inside this valley. It was as if there exist a terrifying devil somewhere, monitoring every move of whoever entered this Dark Valley.

Yes, Ye Xiao could feel someone keeping an eye on him the moment he stepped down into this valley, but he did not care. He believed in his strength and if the worst come, he could simply use his soul abilities to get out of the dangerous situation.

After all, although he could no longer use his original cultivation, his soul force was still there. His soul was not weakened at all after entering the Well Of Hell.

As Ye Xiao was walking in the direction from where he got the feeling of a devil's existence, he suddenly felt some rustling sound around him.

Ye Xiao frowned and was about to look back when suddenly, some black vines started wrapping Ye Xiao's body tightly, making him unable to move even after struggling hard.

The black vines kept wrapping Ye Xiao's body, wanting to strangle him to death immediately.

"Sun Fire Soul!"

Ye Xiao immediately used the Sun Fire Soul to burn the black vines around his body. As the vines burnt, it let out strange noises as if it was screaming loud, wanting Ye Xiao to spare its life and was begging for mercy.

But Ye Xiao did not show any mercy. If not for his abilities to get out of this situation, this black vine would have killed him immediately. It did not even give Ye Xiao the chance to struggle as it was wrapping around his body so tight that he could not even move his body freely.

How could he let go of such an existence who wanted to kill him?

The black vines were burnt into ashes in minutes. Ye Xiao once again continued his journey toward the depth of the dark valley. But the sensation of being watched by someone still did not go.

Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense wanting to see or at least sense who was watching him from the dark, but he failed. He could sense anyone. It was as if the existence who was watching him does not exist in this space at all.

But he trusted his instinct and knew that he was not wrong. There must be someone watching him from somewhere, it was just that he does not have the ability to sense who it was.

Ye Xiao ignored this feeling for now and focused on the path ahead because, in front of him, a few demonic beasts appeared, blocking his path ahead.

Ye Xiao noticed that not even a single one of these demonic beasts were alive. All of them were already dead and were being controlled by someone.

Ye Xiao also saw the Fire Ape within this group of demonic beasts. It was still alive and was looking at him with mockery in its eyes as if it was laughing at Ye Xiao for his foolishness and was saying why a human like him was so stupid to chase after it!

Ye Xiao immediately understood what was going on and muttered, "So all of this was just a trap to bring humans or other living beings in this Dark Valley!"

Ye Xiao understood everything. This Fire Ape must be the bet placed by the devilish existence at the depth of the Valley or the one who was keeping an eye on him from the dark, without losing sight for even a single second.

It must have gone to bring Ning Yan and his group inside this valley. First, it must have been caught by Ning Yan's group intentionally. Whoever was behind all this, must have known that Fire Ape's blood has the ability to attract the magical beast who has lower strength than the Fire Ape itself.

The people will definitely try to catch this beast, after all, inside the Well Of Hell, only after killing magical beasts could one gain strength to move forward. Otherwise, one will have to stay at a safe place for an entire two months, hidden completely from the outside so that he could stay alive.

The Fire Ape will definitely be caught by the people so that they could use it to attract the attention of other magical beasts and they could kill them to increase their strength inside the Well Of Hell.

Ning Yan's group did the same. But exactly at that time, the monkey appeared to help the Fire Ape and both of them towards the Dark Valley, thinking that Ning Yan's group will chase after it and enter the Dark Valley. This way, they could catch Ning Yan's group off-guard.

As for what they wanted to do after catching people, looking at the lifeless magical beasts who have become puppets to dance under the finger of someone hiding in the dark, it is not that difficult to guess!

Ye Xiao knew he was played by this Fire Ape. He looked at the Fire Ape that was also staring at Ye Xiao with a mocking smile. Suddenly, Ye Xiao's mouth curled up as he said, "Do you think you'll be able to live just because you are here, being protected by so many puppet magical beasts?"

The Fire Ape looked at Ye Xiao with confusion. But Ye Xiao did not explain anything. He continued said, "I admit, I was played by you. I did not think much of you and was caught off guard. But this doesn't change anything. None of you have the strength to do anything to me, and this includes the one who is hiding in the dark and is looking at everything."

Ye Xiao said the last sentence looking at the void around him and in loud voice, to let the one hiding in the hear him.

Ye Xiao clearly felt some fluctuation in the air. It was clear that his words must have shocked the one hiding in the dark. That one must be surprised at how Ye Xiao was able to sense it and his emotion took control of his heart, causing slight fluctuation to appear in the air.

"Spatial Fluctuation?" Ye Xiao frowned because he felt the space around him fluctuating.

Does it mean that the enemy is hiding around Ye Xiao but in a different space where the enemy could see and hear everything but he could not be sensed by Ye Xiao or any other existence existing in the space where Ye Xiao was standing?

Ye Xiao had spent hundreds of years in the Second Stage of the First Trial and now understood many things that he had not even heard of before entering the Well Of Hell. One such thing was this, space-related things.

He knew that the skills related to space are extremely rare to come by and there might not be a single one in hundreds of thousands of worlds. But it doesn't mean such a technique does not exist.

Using the space-related martial arts skill, one could hide in a different space for some time and one might even teleport to a short distance.

Ye Xiao had come across a person in the Second Stage of the First Trial who have such a martial arts skill in his hand.

That person could use the space-related martial arts skill to teleport to a short distance of thousand meters. Using this skill, he was able to escape from many life-threatening situations.

So, it was not impossible for another such skill to appear here.

Although Ye Xiao also had a space-related skill in his hand, but that was a Law Skill. This Law Skill was called Space Distortion that Ye Xiao got his hands on from the small ice cube. This ice cube was something that he had chosen from the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire at the Azure Sky Continent.

At that time, it was Divine Soul Emperor Dragon who helped him choose this skill and told him only to break the ice cube after ascending to the Upper Realm.

After Ye Xiao broke the Ice Cube, he came across the Law Skill, Space Distortion, which he could only use after comprehending the Space Law. This was also the reason why this skill was called the Law Skill.
