When Ye Xiao started to devour, what Lin Hao saw was the scene that was happening on the surface but unknown to him, Ye Xiao's true target was not the giant human and the black Qi but the world inside his body.
Ye Xiao was actually trying to devour the giant human's world.
Previously, when Ye Xiao merged with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he got the ability to devour anything, to be more accurate, any particular thing.
It was the first time he was trying to devour any particular thing but it was also the most dangerous part, he was actually trying to devour the world of the giant human that can only be created when one is going to become an Immortal.
Currently, Ye Xiao was only a Martial King Realm martial artist but he was actually trying to devour the world that was the source of power for any Immortal levelled cultivator.
Ye Xiao knew, devouring the world was not easy in the slightest and he might have to pay the price for trying to devour the world but right now, he can not think of any other situation.
If he let the giant whose strength was continuously increasing, recover his full strength, there will be no way to kill or even defeat this giant. So he wanted to try his luck and devour the source of the power of the giant.
If he was successful in doing this, the giant will transform back to being a mortal and Lin Hao can kill him easily.
This idea appeared in his mind when the giant told him about the Immortals and world.
That giant also felt that something was wrong but for the time being, he could not tell what was wrong. He was also scared at this moment when he felt himself being pulled into the black hole like fissure.
Before this, if he wanted to devour, he could devour anything easily but at this moment, Ye Xiao was feeling that it was much more difficult to devour the world of the giant.
On the other hand, Lin Hao was shocked to see the giant being pulled inside that big black hole like fissure but what surprised him the most was that even though the giant was trying his best to struggle free but even with his strength that was much more than Ye Xiao's, he was unable to break free.
The struggle continued, Ye Xiao was trying to devour the world of the giant while the giant was trying to devour to break free from being pulled into the big black hole like fissure.
Time continued to pass and two hours passed just like that. Ye Xiao was still trying to devour the world but for some reason, he was unable to. But even after that, he did not give up because this was the only chance for him and Lin Hao to defeat the giant.
"Ye Xiao, are you sure about what you are doing?"At this time, he heard the voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon in his mind. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I am sure about it. If I don't do this, even if I can escape by hiding inside the Heavenly Pear but Lin Hao and other people inside the Secret Realm can not."
"Well, that's true!" The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon nodded its head and said, "If you really want to do this, I will not stop you but... you are still too weak to devour the world of an Immortal."
"If you really want to devour the world, release your divine spirit and try to cover the world of the giant. After covering it with your divine spirit, you can devour it more easily than the difficulty you are facing right now!"
When Ye Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up. From the moment his soul evolved into the Ancient Divine Soul and his Sea of consciousness evolved into the Divine Sea, he never used his Divine Spirit.
He immediately released his divine spirit and while the giant was still struggling, with slight difficulty, he still covered the whole world of the giant.
"Devour!" Ye Xiao shouted and used his full strength to devour.
"You ant, let me go otherwise I will kill you no matter where you will escape!" That giant shouted at Ye Xiao but Ye Xiao ignored it and did not let it go.
"Devour! Devour! Devour!"
"Arghh!!!"
"Ahhhh!"
The struggle continued. Ye Xiao was trying to devour and his divine spirit really helped him a lot and made his struggle in devouring the world of the giant more easy.
After almost half an hour, Ye Xiao was finally able to devour the world of the giant. The moment he successfully devoured the world of that giant, he screamed out in pain and reverted back to his human form while losing his consciousness.
"Burp! Burp!"
At this moment, that giant also fell down on the ground with a 'thud' sound.Although that giant did not lose his consciousness, he was vomiting out green blood from his mouth continuously without any sign of stopping. His face was pale and he did not even have the strength left to move.
Lin Hao, who was seeing all of these things from the side was shocked. He hurriedly walked toward Ye Xiao and looked at him. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Xiao was still breathing but he could feel that the spirit energy inside Ye Xiao's body was very chaotic.
"M-My w-world, it i-is gone! A-Ant, w-what have you done with my world!" The giant struggled to speak but from what he said, Lin Hao understood that the world of that giant was no longer there. That world was the source of power for the giant and without the world, he was just a mortal without even an ounce of spirit energy.
Lin Hao stood up and arrived in front of the giant human. He looked at it coldly and seeing his cold gaze, the giant was scared. He said while trembling, "W-What are you looking. A-Ant, let me tell you, if you do anything reckless, you will die a horrible death!"
Lin Hao did not say anything. This was the perfect opportunity for him to kill the giant and this opportunity that Ye Xiao gave him was something that he could not waste.
He raised the Broken Sword that was still in his hand and slashed down. A curved ray of light flashed. After that, the Broken Sword disappeared from his hand. Lin Hao turned around and walked back to Ye Xiao.
"N-nothing happened?"
The giant did not feel anything. He also looked at his body but he found no cut. He was still confused when a dark red line slowly appeared on the neck of the giant and in the next moment, his head was separated from his neck.
That giant did not see it coming. He died in a state of confusion.
Lin Hao once again arrived in front of Ye Xiao and stared at him then he spoke with a stern voice: "Ye Xiao, I don't know who you truly are but since you saved me this time, let it be like I owe you a favour. From the moment you surpassed me, I wanted nothing more than to surpass you once again! But from now on, not only do I want to surpass you, but I also want to defeat you in every manner. From now on, you are my rival, my only rival!"
Lin Hao looked at Ye Xiao's unconscious figure deeply then he loaded him on his back and started to walk deeper into the ruin.
He was extremely fast and arrived at the bright spot in the blink of an eye. He immediately realized that a large number of people had gathered here, and their gazes were all fixed on the iron racks in front of them.
There were two or three rows of iron frames in the middle of a river of lava. These iron frames were made up of some unknown metal. They were embedded in the scorching lava and remained completely unharmed.
However, everyone's eyes were not focused on the iron frames, but on the inlaid items on top of each row of the iron frame.
Lin Hao looked carefully and inhaled a cold breath of air, his eyes uncontrollably growing wide. It turned out that on each iron frame, there were various weapons that flickered with light and had dense amounts of spirit energy flowing through them.
The ranks of these weapons were not low, they were all above the Low-Grade Mystical Rank weapons.
There were a total of seven rows of iron frames, with ten Mystical Rank Treasures resting on each of the iron frames. All of these treasures were top-notch.
"Gudong?"
Lin Hao was dumbstruck. He swallowed his saliva and felt smoke coming out from his throat. If he said that he could remain calm, it would be fake!
