Chapter 762 - You Reap What You Sow (1/2)
…
“What a terrifying aura. What kind of aura is this? Why does it feel like even my will is about to be twisted by it?”
A Sacred Sovereign could not help but speak slowly.
As a Sacred Sovereign, he was already infinitely close to the peak state of the universe. Even when Ye Xiao was fighting with other peak Sacred Sovereigns with 12 apertures, as long as he hid far away, he would basically not be injured by the shockwave.
However, he did not expect that he would actually be suppressed by that powerful aura while hiding at the edge of the universe. One could imagine how powerful that aura was.
It could already be said to be able to suppress the entire universe.
“A Celestial Sovereign! Someone is about to advance to the realm of a Celestial Sovereign!”
Beside him, another high-level cultivator could not help but say with a solemn expression.
“What? A Celestial Sovereign?”
Hearing that, he could not help but exclaim.
After all, even if he had already reached the Sacred Sovereign realm, the Celestial Sovereign was still an existence that he could not even look up to.
In his lifetime, he was at most a Sacred Sovereign, and it was 100 percent impossible for him to reach the Celestial Sovereign realm.
Therefore, when he heard that someone was about to advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm, he was completely speechless.
“In the entire universe, the only person with the ability to advance to that level should be him, right?”
Everyone did not speak. Everyone was well aware.
Other than Ye Xiao, there would not be a second person in their universe who was about to advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm.
Ye Xiao was truly becoming a god!
From then on, he was the most powerful existence in their universe.
Countless living beings knelt on the ground and bowed toward Ye Xiao.
It was not that they were forced to kneel and bow, but it was their own will that made them do so.
In front of a Celestial Sovereign, all living beings seemed to submit at that moment. No one had any strange thoughts.
The lightning in the sky began to descend. The will of the universe began to suppress Ye Xiao’s body.
That was the test of the will of the universe to Ye Xiao. If he could pass that test, then Ye Xiao could truly reach the level of a Celestial Sovereign.
That was because the will of the universe was unable to stop him from advancing.
Otherwise, he could only be suppressed.
Facing the suppression of the universal will, Ye Xiao took a deep breath and went all out to resist.
He began to display the power of the Void celestial art. Once the power of the Void celestial art was unleashed, it would directly resist the universal will.
The universal will had just begun to suppress, pressing Ye Xiao’s body down at the height of the universe. In the next moment, Ye Xiao’s body slowly stopped.
Moreover, after he stopped, he began to rise in reverse.
That meant that he was resisting the will of the heavens.
Rumble…
Seeing that he dared to resist, the will of the entire universe began to suppress him even more intensely.
However, to be honest, the will of the universe had long been unable to suppress him.
That was because Ye Xiao himself had the Golden Book divine soul.
The power of the Golden Book divine soul allowed him to possess strength that surpassed the will of the universe.
Moreover, the cultivation that he had accumulated after being stuck at the peak of the Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures for such a long time also erupted at that moment.
The amount of strength that he had accumulated had long surpassed the normal peak of the regular Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures.
From the moment his body started to resist, it had never stopped and had always been rising upwards.
It was as if the suppression of the universe was not a problem in his eyes at all.
Under normal circumstances, if a Sacred Sovereign wanted to successfully advance to the cultivation level of a Celestial Sovereign, it might take a very, very long time.
It might even be possible that some people would have to undergo advancement for hundreds of years.
That was because this last step of advancement was really too difficult. One moment of carelessness and one might be reduced to ashes.
However, Ye Xiao’s speed of advancement was very fast. Very soon, he turned into a nine-colored ray of light and shot straight into the clouds in the sky.
At that moment, Ye Xiao felt as if he had arrived at a peaceful zone that was filled with golden light.
He looked at his surroundings with a calm expression. Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.
That figure had the appearance of a male. His face was peaceful as well. It was as if he was one with the surrounding scenery.
The other party was looking at him with a smile.
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment before he said,
“Senior, could it be that you are the will of this universe?”
The other party nodded.
“As expected of you. You guessed my identity so easily. That’s right, I am the will of this universe.”
Pausing for a moment, he spoke again,
“When the Sacred Sovereign advances to the Celestial Sovereign realm, the greater the resistance, the greater the potential after the advancement.
“I’ve already done my best to suppress you just now, but unfortunately, too much of my origin energy has been stolen, so I’m unable to display my peak strength and help you raise your aptitude.
“I’m sorry.”
