873 Chapter 873: Demon And The Golden Trident
Ye Xiao didn’t continue to think too much. He’ll soon know the mystery of this space as well as this ancient tree. So, without asking anything or waiting for the black-armored man to attack, Ye Xiao decided to take the initiative and attack first.
Lightning started flickering on his body and in the next moment, a pillar of light shot up to the sky as he raised his Void Splitter Spear.
“Rumble!”
Following closely was the deafening sound of rolling thunder and lightning. Surging black clouds immediately gathered in the sky above the lake. The violent churning was like a dark tide, streaks of lightning crisscrossing each other like silver snakes soaring up the clouds. A vast and mighty aura and pressure descended from the sky and enveloped every life within several kilometers.
“Dragon Shattering The Heavens: Third Style!”
Before Ye Xiao’s voice had even died away, the crisscrossing thunder and lightning seemed to have shaken the heavens to the point of splitting apart the sky.
In an instant, thunder rumbled fiercely as a terrifying gale rose!
Accompanying the billowing thunderstorm and the whistling sound of the surging wind, a lightning dragon over a hundred meters in length directly descended from the vast dark clouds, striking towards the black-armored man, who was still inside the lake, with the might of annihilating the mountains and rivers.
Along with this dragon descended violent crisscrossing bolts of lightning.
“Clang!”
The violent, crisscrossing thunder nearly caused everything in the surroundings to shatter.
In an instant, over a hundred meters long dragon of lightning swept up a terrifying destructive aura as it struck towards the black-armored mam.
Facing this extremely dangerous attack, the black-armored man waved both of his hands in the air.
“Buzz!”
The air trembled as black energy appeared rose from the palms of the shadow. The black energy was like a shield protecting its front.
“Boom!”
Almost at the same time, the terrifying thunder dragon descended with an awe-inspiring speed and landed on the black energy that was like a shield blocking the outside force from piercing through it.
The surrounding space within a radius of several thousand meters could not help but tremble and almost shatter.
“BOOM!”
Along with a deafening explosion, the black energy shield formed by the black armored man was forcibly blasted apart by the lightning dragon.
A destructive aura filled the sky and shook the earth.
Even though the defensive strength gathered by the black-armored man in a short period of time was unable to block the thunder dragon, he unexpectedly managed to endure for the time being because of the sudden appearance of some golden energy.
Noticing this, Ye Xiao didn’t dare hold back at all. Gathering True Essence on the shaft of the spear, he smashed the spear towards the opponent. In the next moment, an image of an extremely huge flaming spear once again started toppling down along with the lightning dragon.
But at this moment, those golden energies burst forth with golden light, forming another gigantic trident that hacked accurately at the base lightning dragon, immediately piercing past it.
The might of the lightning dragon was lessened by more than half in an instant. In fact, its total strength was reduced to around 30% before it landed on the black-armored man.
While Ye Xiao’s lightning dragon finally landed on the black-armored man, the golden trident also collided against Ye Xiao’s image of the flaming spear.
Surprisingly, after the golden trident and the image of the flaming spear collided, they actually stopped in the mid-air at the same time. It was as though they had begun a battle of strength. Unfortunately, this sort of battle only lasted for nine seconds.
“Hah!”
The black-armored man suddenly roared out and the light emitted by the trident simulacrum grew brighter, following that, his wrist pressed down. The trident actually managed to split the image of the flaming spear into two halves and pierced through it.
Ye Xiao had never doubted the might of the flaming spear that was executed using the Void Splitter Spear. But the trident actually managed to defeat his attack. This made Ye Xiao wonder what exactly this trident actually is.
He was extremely shocked in his heart, as he finally understood the true strength of the black armored man. But being shocked was being shocked. In a battle, Ye Xiao would never forget to attack because of this.
Just as the Golden Trident pierced past the flaming spear, Ye Xiao raised his spear and smashed it on the Golden Trident.
“Clang!”
“BOOM!”
At first, the sound of two metals colliding against each other reverberated in the air, and then the next instant, an explosive shockwave swept over in every direction, bringing forth destruction that instantly destroyed many miles of forest in the surroundings without leaving behind a single tree standing tall firmly.
It was also at this time that the Golden Trident was finally defeated as it was sent flying toward the black-armored man like a shooting star. Its speed was too terrifying to the extent where the black-armored man failed to see it coming.
He had just endured the attack from the lightning dragon when his own trident came to him like a golden shooting star. He subconsciously raised his hand to stop the trident but before he could even raise his hand completely, the golden trident pierced into his chest, instantly shattering the black armor.
“Puff!”
The black-armored man vomited out a mouthful of blood before he was forced into the depth of the lake because of the powerful strength behind the golden trident.
A huge wave of water splashed in the air because of the aftereffect before falling into the lake once again.
Ye Xiao kept looking at the lake. He was really surprised at the black-armored man’s strength. It has to be known that Ye Xiao’s current strength was enough to take care of even an Ancient God. However, this black-armored man who was just a God actually made him take some effort to kill.
Well, Ye Xiao himself knew that it was half of the black-armored strength was contributed by the Golden Trident. But still, this fact can’t be refuted that the black-armored man has surprised Ye Xiao.
At this moment, bubbles started appearing on the surface of the lake and a few seconds later, the black-armored man emerged out of the water.
But this time, he was no longer wearing the black armor. His black armor has already shattered.
Ye Xiao was surprised to see that this man was actually not a human. He seemed more like a demon. His body was taller than a human’s body and was pale purple in colour. At the same time, two horns were growing out on his forehead.
And of course, the Golden Trident was still piercing into his chest.
After coming out of the water, this demon looked at Ye Xiao emotionlessly.
Yes, Ye Xiao couldn’t sense any kind of emotion on this demon’s face. His eyes were firm and Ye Xiao could say that he was ready to die at any moment.
“Who are you and why did you attack me?” Ye Xiao asked after exchanging gazes with the demon.
The demon didn’t answer Ye Xiao immediately. He first let out a deep breath and while enduring the pain, he pulled out the golden trident from his chest. This caused his chest to bleed profusely.
“Come back!”
At this moment, a profound voice echoed in the air. Ye Xiao was surprised to see that he couldn’t sense the direction from where the sound was coming.
Suddenly, the Ancient Tree started shining. Surprisingly, it was not shining with magenta colour but golden colour. An intense golden light shrouded the Ancient Tree and a single ray of golden light shot out that entered the demon’s body.
The demon’s chest immediately stopped bleeding and his wound there started healing at an extremely fast speed. In less than five minutes, all the wounds on the demon’s chest were healed completely.
“What the?”
Ye Xiao didn’t know what to say. He actually sensed the Profound Meaning of Life in that golden light that was shot out. It is clear that whoever the person behind this is, he has deep comprehension of the Profound Meaning of Life.
Although his comprehension might only be around 10% to 15% which is much less than the comprehension of Ancient Samsara God, it couldn’t be denied that this person did have the comprehension of Profound Meaning of Life.
“Yes, my LORD!”
p-a-n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om The demon nodded his head, took a deep look at Ye Xiao, and started walking toward the Ancient Tree with steady steps while holding the Golden Trident in his hand. His blood was still stained on its three sharp teeth.
Then in front of Ye Xiao’s eyes, the moment the demon’s body touched the golden light shrouding the Ancient Tree, he disappeared. And along with him disappeared the Golden Light.
The Ancient Tree returned to its previous state. It was now once again magenta in colour.
