Chapter 150: Heavenly Punishment

Ye Xiao could feel that he was about to breakthrough. He immediately became very excited.

"BOOM!"

Finally, a horrifying explosion burst within Ye Xiao's dantian. It was a very strange sound. More deafening than thunder, however, others could not hear that sound. Only Ye Xiao alone could.

At the same time as the explosion, Ye Xiao's aura rapidly rose. It was as if there was no end to it, his aura kept rising without the sign of stopping.

He had made a breakthrough. He had successfully surpassed the Origin Core Realm and became a Martial King. He had truly become a Martial King.

Martial King, how many people worked for their entire life yet they could not even touch this level and could only admire those who were able to, just like those of Silver Moon Sect? It was a realm seen as godlike in many people's eyes.

But Ye Xiao, before the age of seventeen, had entered such a realm. That was definitely quite an achievement. At least, within the Azure Dragon Empire, and to those in the Third Grade country or even Third Grade Country, only very few geniuses could accomplish such a feat.

Even though he was only at the First Stage of the Martial King Realm, his fighting prowess was no less than that of a martial artist at the Sixth or Seventh Stage of the Martial King Realm.

"Haha, success! I've finally succeeded! I've finally become a Martial King Realm martial artist!" Ye Xiao was elated and excited. His expression could not be represented by words.

Ye Xiao did not know how much time it took for him to break through to the Martial King Realm from the Origin Core Realm, but he knew that it was definitely not a short amount of time.

Although there was a portion of luck in today's success, it could not be denied that Ye Xiao had exchanged his hard work for that success.

When he stood up and was about to check his dantian, the originally sunny and cloudless sky immediately turned dark with pitch-black clouds. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Everything within thousands of miles went completely dark.

"What's going on?!" Ye Xiao was completely horrified. He realized that all those black clouds were like a huge whirlpool, and the whirlpool's center was right above himself!

It looked like nothing more than a huge demonic eye focusing expressionlessly on him. At the same time, a terrifying destructive will pushed down upon him.

Ye Xiao immediately realized that he was unable to avoid being the center of the whirlpool because when he moved, he saw that the cloud above him also moved along with him. He wildly cursed inside as he saw more and more black clouds gather in the sky. The lightning within the sky gradually converged at the center of the black clouds.

"Is it going to strike me?!" Even if Ye Xiao was stupid, he would still be able to predict what was about to happen. He madly struggled. But it was as if the thundercloud in the sky has taken him as its enemy. Despite his best efforts, his body unable to shook off the thundercloud above him.

Suddenly, immense pressure pressed down on him. It was so terrifying that he was unable to move even an inch now. The huge boulder beneath his foot cracked. Such a sturdy boulder was actually unable to bear the pressure.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but tremble in fear. He tried running, but he felt as if a whole mountain was crushing him from every direction. He was only able to make very limited movements and was simply unable to flee.

"This... What is that thing in the sky? Why is it pressing me down? Why is it trying to suppress me?" Ye Xiao was not able to understand what was going on. He was terrified by the scene that suddenly appeared before him.

"It is heavenly punishment. You are unable to flee. Gather your full strength to resist. If you are able to resist it, you will be able to not only gain a terrifying strength, you can also start cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique."

As Ye Xiao was wildly cursing in his heart and was incredibly anxious, a voice suddenly rang in Long Chen's ears.

"Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon?" Ye Xiao felt that this voice was coming from his mind. When he checked in his sea of consciousness, he saw that the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was looking at him and it was the one who just told him about the heavenly punishment.

"You can actually talk!" Ye Xiao was so shocked that he even forgot about the Heavenly Punishment for a while.

The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon looked at him. It did not reply to him instead opened its mouth and said, "Humans also call the Heavenly Punishment as the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Ye Xiao muttered these two words and immediately thought of something. He exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Heavenly Tribulation something that one encounters after breaking through to Martial Ancestor Realm from Martial King Realm? Why is it that I encounter it so soon when I just become a Martial King Realm martial artist?"

"Because you are the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl! Because only you will have the ability in the future to defy and even fight against the Heavens! Because you can become the greatest threat to the Heavens!" This time, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon replied to him as if he was making the joke of Heavens.

A puny human, like Ye Xiao, could become a threat to the Heavens to the extent where it wants to exterminate his existence before he could even grow up. It wanted to kill Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also understood this at this moment and he was immediately infuriated. How many evil people existed in the world, and yet the heavens decided to punish him? So unfair!

Putting away his anger, he waved his hand, and immediately a long blue spear appeared in his hands. It was the Sea Dragon Spear. He circulated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and pushed his power to its peak.

"Would you help?" Ye Xiao looked at the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and asked in a low voice.

"No, I will not help this time. You have to overcome this tribulation yourself. This can also be considered as a test to see whether you are qualified for that destiny or not?" The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon shook its head and said.

"This time? Did you help me before? And what about 'that destiny'? Why can't I understand anything that you are saying?" Ye Xiao asked many questions at once because he did not understand anything that the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon said.

He also did not know about the situation where the Eyes of the Heavenly Dao wanted to kill him and it was Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon that saved him at that time.

"You don't need to know much right now. With time, you will naturally know everything. Now go, face and overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!" The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon said and when it waved its claws, Ye Xiao was forced to retreat from his own sea of consciousness.

"How terrifying?" At the moment when the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon waved its hand, Ye Xiao felt as if he was standing before an existence that could kill him with just a flick of its finger.

At that moment, he felt immense pressure from the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, so much that he felt that the pressure that pressed down on him from the sky was like a child's play compared to the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon. He never encountered this type of pressure in his life nor did he ever saw an existence that could rival the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

Ye Xiao looked at the Sea Dragon Spear in his hand then he looked at the thunderclouds that were still rumbling in the sky as if they were furious about Ye Xiao's existence.

He said while looking at the thunderclouds, "When I entered the Heavenly Pearl for the first time and became its inheritor, I vowed that if Devils blocked my path toward the peak of martial arts, I will cut down the devils into thousand pieces. If the Gods blocked my path, I will kill every god and if the Heavens blocked my path, I will destroy the heavens."

"Now that Heavens, you really are blocking my path, then from now on, either you kill me or one day I will definitely wage a war against you!"

When Ye Xiao said these words, his figure looked as if he was a war god that had fought a war and went through the crisis of life and death countless time. At that moment, his demeanour was something else. He looked so domineering that could not be explained by words.
