Chapter 1797: Chapter 1816: Swallowed Whole

What a pity!

The Human Lord was already prepared, and a Forbidden Death Light roared forth, directly forcing the two away from the stone platform.

"Ye Xuan, I will hold off the Black and White Kings, you quickly seize the treasure."

Boom!

Having said that, the Human Lord rushed straight at the Black and White Kings. Do not underestimate the Human Lord, who had just transformed into a forbidden entity, as her foundation is extremely profound. After all, the Dao of Causality is extraordinary; transforming into a forbidden existence made her even more terrifying.

"Little girl, do you dare to oppose us?"

The Black and White Kings roared repeatedly with fury. Faced with the Human Lord’s assault, they were about to burst with anger. How could someone as insignificant as a younger generation dare to stop them from seizing the treasure?

Unfortunately, the response they received was the fearsome assault of the Human Dao; the combined death light with the Dao Law of Causality left the Black and White Kings somewhat overwhelmed.

One must know that every forbidden being was extremely powerful during their lives. Even transformed into forbidden entities, they retain the laws and Daoist skills they comprehended.

It’s said that all Three Thousand Great Dao lead to the same destination, but even among them, some are strong and others weak.

The Dao of Causality that the Human Lord comprehended is an extremely fearsome Dao Law, ranking among the highest within the Three Thousand Great Dao.

In contrast, the Black and White Kings only comprehended the Chaotic Yin Yang Dao, which is inferior in level compared to the Dao of Causality.

In an instant, the Human Lord and the Black and White Kings engaged in fierce battle.

Ye Xuan frowned upon observing, realizing that there was indeed a significant gap between his own cultivation and that of these forbidden beings.

Simply relying on cultivation, he would struggle against any forbidden entity, let alone manage to kill them.

"Ye Xuan, didn’t you say you wanted to cooperate with me? Now is the time to team up and seize the Mystic Sky Pearl. As for how to split it, we can discuss that later," the Undying Heavenly Lord said with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Alright, I happen to think the same," Ye Xuan replied with a smile and nodded.

"Let’s strike!"

The Undying Heavenly Lord spoke no further nonsense, as his five fingers fiercely reached out to grasp the Mystic Sky Pearl, and Ye Xuan simultaneously took action.

"How dare you!"

Despite the ongoing battles between the forbidden entities, they kept an eye on the Mystic Sky Pearl. Upon witnessing the two join forces for the treasure, they unleashed terrifying death lights aimed at the duo.

"Undying, you block them."

Ye Xuan’s eyes darted as his figure instantly became elusive, concealing himself behind the Undying Heavenly Lord. Clearly, he intended for the Undying Heavenly Lord to shield him from these forbidden attacks so that he could successfully seize the treasure.

"You...?"

The Undying Heavenly Lord’s expression changed, initially wanting to refuse, but chose to stand in front of Ye Xuan. After all, this was only the First Divine Palace, and if he turned against Ye Xuan now, it would complicate matters later.

"Get lost, all of you!"

Rumble!

The Undying Heavenly Lord exploded with peerless death light, consecutively unleashing more than ten Undying Blade Lights to shield Ye Xuan from the fearsome attacks of the forbidden figures.

At the same time, Ye Xuan smiled in excitement as he managed to grasp the Mystic Sky Pearl, shocking the angry roars of the other forbidden beings.

Bear in mind, the Mystic Sky Pearl is an ancient divine artifact containing immense energy that can enhance the cultivation of these forbidden beings. With this divine object in Ye Xuan’s possession, how could they allow such a thing to happen?

Kill!

In the next instant, all combatants withdrew, their eyes fixed fiercely upon Ye Xuan.

Boom!

In a split second, several forbidden figures unleashed overwhelming killing intent, deadly lights swirling around, locking onto Ye Xuan.

Whoosh!

The Human Lord swiftly returned to Ye Xuan’s side, while the Undying Heavenly Lord’s expression alternated between gloom and clarity, a touch of strangeness flashing over his eyes.

Now that Ye Xuan had seized the Mystic Sky Pearl, he instantly became the target of everyone. A great battle was inevitable, for these forbidden individuals coveted the Mystic Sky Pearl, unwilling to let Ye Xuan claim it.

"Boy, hand over the Mystic Sky Pearl, or you’ll die here today," the Black and White Kings shouted chillingly.

"Ye Xuan, the Mystic Sky Pearl is useless to you, hand it to me," the Eternal Shadow said coldly.

"Young friend, the Mystic Sky Pearl is of great use to me; if you’re willing to give it to me, I can exchange it for something else," the Chess Ancestor said.

Other forbidden beings, though silently, all fixated their intense gazes on Ye Xuan, clearly valuing the Mystic Sky Pearl immensely.

Ye Xuan laughed, a composed smile adding to his serene demeanor.

Amidst their ominous gazes, Ye Xuan slowly placed the Mystic Sky Pearl in his palm, further inflaming the forbidden entities’ intense stares.

Indeed, these forbidden beings coveted the Mystic Sky Pearl not for its energy, although it could enhance their cultivation, but for more profound reasons.

The true reason these forbidden figures yearned for the Mystic Sky Pearl lies in its retention of the ancient Cosmic Laws, which, if comprehended, would afford them boundless benefits.

What are the ancient Cosmic Laws?

The ancient Cosmic Laws form the foundation of the power among ancient strong beings, capable of showcasing supreme power with every movement once they are melded with the laws.

Why are the Three Great Eras considered the most powerful times in the Eternal Universe?

Because the Three Great Eras abounded in unique Power of Laws, which were the fundamental source of their immense strength.

After the disappearance of the Three Great Eras, these exclusive laws ceased to exist within Chaos, prompting the forbidden figures’ desire to seize the Mystic Sky Pearl for its unique ancient Cosmic Laws within.

Seeing the greedy and eager expressions on everyone’s faces, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, saying, "You all wish for this ancient divine artifact, but whom should I favor amongst you?"

"Give me the Mystic Sky Pearl."

Boom!

The Chaos Divine Sovereign stepped forward, his forbidden power terribly radiating, evidently intending to pressure Ye Xuan into handing over the treasure.

"Chaos Divine Sovereign, who do you think you are, treating me like air?"

Boom!

The Eternal Shadow roared in disdain, paying no heed to the Chaos Divine Sovereign, stepping forward with eyes fixed on Ye Xuan, clearly determined to possess the Mystic Sky Pearl.

Other forbidden beings likewise stepped forward, evidently unwilling to relinquish this divine artifact, heightening the tension further.

"Actually, I have no intention of possessing this divine artifact," Ye Xuan said with a forced smile, "but if I give it to any of you, you’ll resent me. So why not keep it myself?"

"Do you dare?"

The Black and White Kings shouted with sinister anger.

"Do I dare?"

"I detest threats the most."

Ye Xuan chuckled, and the next moment what transpired left all forbidden beings stunned.

Gulp!

The Mystic Sky Pearl!

The ancient divine item.

Ye Xuan directly tossed it into his mouth. As his throat moved, he swallowed the divine artifact alive, leading an intense burst of Ancient Divine Light to erupt from his body.

Ye Xuan had actually devoured and refined the Mystic Sky Pearl right before the eyes of the forbidden figures, rendering them unable to react.
