Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao and Great Star Lord returned to the Great Star Palace. After meeting with the other Star Lords, Ye Xiao went straight to the Eight Star Palace. After putting on the mask, he became the Eight Star Lord.

As for some of the Star Envoys and members of the Eight Star Palace, the trusted aides of the previous Eight Star Lord, all of them had been informed of the whole story.

Just like that, Ye Xiao replaced the previous Eighth Star Lord and stayed in the Star Palace. When the previous Eighth Star Lord will be completely healed and come back, Ye Xiao will give back the position of Eighth Star Lord to him and leave the Star Domain. This was the condition he put forth before becoming the Eighth Star Lord.

The previous Eighth Star Lord was badly injured. As far as Ye Xiao could guess, it'll take the previous Eighth Star Lord at most ten years to fully recover. His aim was now to become an Exalted Ruler in these ten years, and then go to the unknown vast land to meet Ancient Gods.

The God of this world can't be compared to even Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord of Divine Realm. So, it'll not be difficult for him to become an Exalted Ruler in ten years of time and a God in at most twenty years of time.

Ye Xiao didn't interfere in some of the major matters in the Eighth Star Palace and left them to the trusted aides of the former Eighth Star Lord. As for him, he simply went into seclusion to cultivate.

Now that he had the Impeccable Energy Stones and Crystal Of Darkness in his hand, what was the point of not cultivating in seclusion?

Of course, Ye Xiao also had a part of his mind on the outside. If there was anything he needed to do, he would do it. As long as he wasn't at the critical moment of his breakthrough, he could take action at any time.

After replacing the Eighth Star Lord, Ye Xiao had been sitting in the Eighth Star Palace for two years before coming out as a Ruler.

In these two years, the Evil-eyed Lions were just as the Great Star Lord had said; they attacked the Star Domain a few times in order to take revenge. but the Star Domain had long been prepared for it. The Great Star Lord and the other Star Lords had joined forces to set up a new defensive barrier. The defensive barrier was set up by several Star Lords, even if it is an Exalted Ruler-Level Evil-eyed Lions, they would not be able to break through the defensive barrier in a short period of time.

Given the speed of a Ruler and the distance between the enormous city and the Star Palaces, it wouldn't take long for the Star Lords to rush over to rescue them. Of course, this time, Star Lords were no longer foolish. Basically, two or three of them would move out together. This way, even if Evil-eyed Lions were lying in ambush, the Star Lords would be able to easily escape.

The reason why the Eight Star Lords were heavily injured last time was that the ambush of Evil-eyed Lions was too unexpected. Otherwise, the Eighth Star Lords might have been able to escape without being heavily injured.

As for the other powers in the Star Domain, the Star Palace could not care about that much.

The Evil-eyed Lion had probably discovered this situation as well, so they took the initiative to attack the Star Palace. However, with the Star Lords present, the attack of Evil-eyed Lions did not cause much trouble to the Star Domain.

After Ye Xiao came out of seclusion after becoming a Ruler, he was warmly welcomed and congratulated by other Star Lords. After coming out, he also attacked the Evil-eyed Lions. He main;y wanted to obtain more Crystal Of Darkness but his luck was not to his side. This time, he didn't manage to obtain a single Crystal Of Darkness.

After that, the Star Domain regained its stability. Perhaps the Evil-eyed Lion also knew that the Star Domain had become a bone that was difficult to chew, so it gave up temporarily, or maybe, they were planning an even more terrifying attack. However, the Great Star Lord and the others were more inclined to let the Evil-eyed Lion retreat.

After all, the Evil-eyed Lions were wreaking havoc in the entire world. The Star Domain wasn't the only place that was being attacked.

Ye Xiao had temporarily replaced the Eighth Star Lord, so he knew some of the information that the Star Lord knew.

For example, several Exalted Rulers had launched several sieges in the past few hundred years, but none of them were able to truly exterminate all the Evil-eyed Lions.

Moreover, there were more and more Evil-eyed Lions as time passed. The Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lions were no longer as rare as they were two years ago. Even Exalted Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lions had appeared several times. The encirclement of the Exalted Rulers might have angered the Evil-eyed Lions.

Not long ago, a large number of Evil-eyed Lions had gathered. There were more than fifty of them. There were also a few Exalted Ruler-levelled Evil-eyed Lions among them. They attacked a few domains which caused the sky to darken. Those domains suffered great losses, even losing several Rulers. In the end, they had to rely on joining forces with other Domains to repel the Exalted Ruler-levelled Evil-eyed Lions.

Of course, Evil-eyed Lions weren't any better. Apart from a portion of the Ruler-leveled Evil-eyed Lions that had escaped, most of them had been killed by the combined forces of a few Domains.

In this battle, whether it was combined forces of a few domains or Evil-eyed Lions, both had greatly damaged their vitality.

The Great Star Lord believed that Evil-eyed Lions had retreated. The reason why they were not attacking the Star Domain for now was because of this battle.

The Great Star Lord believed that the battle between Evil-eyed Lions and the combined forces of a few domains had at least weakened the overall strength of the Evil-eyed Lions by more than fifty percent. How could the remaining Evil-eyed Lions still have the strength to deal with the Star Domain?

It wasn't just the Star Domain. The other Domains also felt the same way, and they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the Star Domain and the other Domains had all relaxed too early.

In merely two more years, the Evil-eyed Lions had returned once more, continuing to wreak havoc in all the domains.

Not long after that, an Exalted Ruler who had been studying the Crystal Of Darkness discovered a heaven-shaking secret. This Crystal of Darkness was very likely a crystal formed after an Evil-eyed Lion swallowed a large number of powerhouses. In other words, the more people the Evil-eyed Lion killed and swallowed, the more Crystal of Darkness it could give birth to. The Crystal of Darkness has the lifetime accumulated energy of many powerhouses inside which have gone berserk after coming in contact with each other. This is also the reason why no one can refine the Crystal Of Darkness.

As for how a person who tried to refine the Crystal of Darkness turned into an Evil-eyed Lion, it is because of some sort of law contained inside the Crystal of Darkness other than the Law of Darkness.

Also, one Evil-eyed Lion could give birth to many Crystal of Darkness. After that, it can separate part of its body and use the Crystal of Darkness to create an entirely new Evil-eyed Lion. In the end, it would create more and more Evil-eyed Lions.

When the Great Star Lord obtained the secret that this Exalted Ruler had researched, he immediately understood and muttered, "No wonder every time the Evil-eyed Lions attack, why their number would always increase from before. In the beginning, there were only a few Evil-eyed Lions, but in the end, there were more and more of them. So that was how it was. In that case, it's no wonder that the Evil-eyed Lions keep slaughtering in various domains and they are recently targeting only experts."

"Dammit! If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the number of people in our world is getting lesser and lesser, and the number of Evil-eyed Lions are increasing instead of decreasing?" The Great Star Lord's face instantly turned ashen.

All the Domains finally realized their mistakes and the cunningness of Evil-eyed Lions. They were no longer something that a single Domain could deal with. They had to work together to eliminate the Evil-eyed Lions. Otherwise, as long as there was a single Evil-eyed Lion around, the Evil-eyed Lions would make a comeback.

There were a total of twelve Domains. The Cloud Domain, Eternal Domain, Endless Mountain Domain, Star Domain, Moon Domain, and all other domains finally made an alliance.

They also established teleportation formation in each Domain. The teleportation formation was located near each major power inside each Domain. With this, if any major power was attacked, the other major powers would be able to sense and come to their help very quickly. And if needed, experts from other domains would also come and help them deal with Evil-eyed Lions.
