Chapter 744 - Archaic and Modern Showdown (1/2)

…

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month’s time had already passed through the gaps between his fingers.

In that one month’s time, Ye Xiao’s cultivation had also obtained quite a lot of improvement. He opened another aperture and reached the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures.

In that age of chaos before his eyes, it was already very impressive for his cultivation to reach the Sacred Sovereign realm, not to mention reaching the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures.

Above the Sacred Sovereign, each opening of an aperture would require one to experience countless dangers.

Previously, when Ye Xiao advanced to the Sacred Sovereign with seven apertures, the members of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect had already raised their cultivation further.

At that point, when Ye Xiao advance to the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures, the members of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect had once again raised their cultivation by a large margin.

Among them, there were many whose strength had already reached the level of a lesser Sacred Sovereign, or even a Sacred Sovereign in the true sense.

As an example, the many pillars of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect, Xuanyuan Long, the Xuan Yuan clan head, Yun Cangqiong, and so on.

Ye Xiao’s biological daughter, Ye Xinyi, had long been bestowed with the strength of one of the Sacred Sovereign’s apertures when he had successfully advanced to the Sacred Sovereign with seven apertures. Compared to the others who had increased their speed, it was actually a little faster.

However, to Ye Xiao, he could not be bothered to pay too much attention to those things that he already knew and was destined to do.

After advancing to the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures, Ye Xiao’s speed became much slower.

It was not because his own movement speed became slower. On the contrary, his movement speed became much faster. However, after advancing to the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures, if he wanted to open more apertures, the amount of energy and substances required would also increase.

After he had absorbed the energy of a cultivator from the Sacred Sovereign with one aperture, the increase in his strength could almost be ignored.

Moreover, that level of Sacred Sovereign was the one with the most numbers. The other higher-level Sacred Sovereigns were extremely rare.

At the same time, as the celestial bodies dimmed one after another, many people had already been successfully possessed by an archaic Sacred Sovereign.

There was also a small number of people who used their own wills to forcefully suppress the archaic Sacred Sovereign and instead protected their own lives.

It was just that the portion of people was very few.

The vast majority had already been possessed by the other party.

After those people were possessed, they became archaic Sacred Sovereigns from ancient times. Their main bodies would no longer have the chance to revive.

Ye Xiao secretly memorized those people in his heart. He was prepared to think of a way to deal with them after he returned.

As the saying goes, those who are not of the same sect have different hearts.

Originally, even if they were not the Sacred Sovereign of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect, they already had ulterior motives, not to mention those archaic Sacred Sovereigns who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In order to increase their own strength, they were willing to do anything.

To him, to the Xuan Yuan immortal sect, and even to the entire universe, there was a fatal threat.

At that moment, he still needed to carry out further plundering.

Although the speed at which his strength increased had greatly decreased, he still needed to plunder more. He wanted to reduce the number of celestial bodies that Sacred Sovereign Shang had plundered so that his cultivation base could not completely recover to its peak.

One… Two… Three…

The celestial bodies in the archaic ruins began to decline at an accelerated rate.

Finally, when the last two celestial bodies in the archaic ruins dimmed, two extremely majestic powers slowly began to be released.

Those two auras were so powerful that it made people tremble in fear.

Most of the cultivators there were Sacred Sovereigns. Although most of them were low-level Sacred Sovereigns, they were still Sacred Sovereigns.

They were not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

However, in front of those two auras, they felt like a group of ants. Those two auras were like two huge mountains that could not be crossed.

That was the difference between every Sacred Sovereign with a single aperture!

The difference between the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures and a Sacred Sovereign with one aperture was more than 100 times greater than the difference between a peak third-level Imperial Immortal.

…

“It’s the two of them. It must be the two of them!”

“I didn’t expect them to be so terrifying and increase their strength so quickly. How long has it been, and their cultivation has already risen to this level?”

“Comparing people was really infuriating. We also came in together. I was almost successfully possessed by an archaic Sacred Sovereign earlier, and it took me nine oxen and two tigers’ strength to escape, and I even took a portion of his energy.

“The two of them have actually risen to the cultivation of the Sacred Sovereign with eight apertures.”

“Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself, do you deserve to be compared to the two of them?

“One of them is a heaven’s favorite from the immemorial era, and the other is the most powerful monster of the current era. He’s already an extremely dazzling existence, so he can’t be compared to them!”

At that moment, one of the celestial bodies exploded first, and a tall and sturdy figure slowly walked out.

He was eight feet tall, and his body was surrounded by nine-colored multicolored light. There was even a golden mist attached to it.

It was as if he was an existence that did not belong to that world. He was filled with mystery and supreme majesty, not allowing anyone to desecrate him.

Rumble…

As his breathing continued to rise and fall, it was as if there was the sound of thunder within the archaic ruins!

That caused everyone to be even more shocked!

Even his breathing had reached the level where he could destroy laws. One could imagine just how powerful the law energy contained within was.

At that moment, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were like lightning, shooting out two gazes that were a trillion miles away as he explored the other celestial body in the distance.

“Ye Xiao huh? He’s quite powerful. I didn’t expect that he could raise his cultivation to such a level in such a short period of time.

“Unfortunately, this is useless. In front of me, you only have the choice of death.”

Just as he finished speaking, another celestial body exploded.

Inside, it was none other than Ye Xiao!

At that moment, the aura on his body was many times stronger than before.

It was actually the same as Sacred Sovereign Shang!

When their auras clashed, not only were sparks flying in all directions, even the people in the archaic ruins were unable to control their bodies and had no choice but to descend.

In other words, no one could stand on the same level as the two of them.

“So strong! Are the two of them finally going to fight?”

“I’ve finally waited for this scene. The reason why I came in was to see this scene. I didn’t care about anything else.

“Now that I’ve finally seen it, I hope that this battle won’t disappoint me!”

“Speaking of which, who do the two of you think will win this time?”

“I think Sacred Sovereign Shang will win. He was originally the most favored among Heaven’s Chosen Ones in the immemorial era, and can be said to be unrivaled! He once suppressed a generation of geniuses, making them unable to raise their heads.

“That boldness!

“That strength!

“The martial heart!
