Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 317 Kneel Not to the Heavens Above, Nor to the Earth Below!

"Xiao Tianjiao ranks second, and you're third!"

The elder spoke slowly and deliberately.

What?

Sha Ying's face, which was filled with triumph and excitement, suddenly froze, and he looked at the elder in confusion, asking in disbelief, "What, what did you say? Someone entered the eighteenth level?"

"Yes!"

The elder nodded.

Thump, thump, thump!

Sha Ying's face was a picture of confusion, turning pale and then flushing red, as he roared in disbelief, "This is impossible... Even when Xiao Tianjiao was at the Peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm, he only reached the seventeenth level. How can anyone enter the eighteenth level? Could it be that some old ancestor from the Dharma Manifestation Realm has entered?"

He simply couldn't imagine, if Xiao Tianjiao himself couldn't break through the seventeenth level, how could anyone else manage to reach it.

The surrounding crowd, shocked, nodded in agreement, "It must be an old ancestor of the Dharma Manifestation Realm challenging it. Among those in the Tao Tribulation Realm, no one should possess greater talent than Xiao Tianjiao!"

"Was there a Dharma Manifestation Realm old ancestor just now? How come I didn't notice?"

"What kind of status does a Dharma Manifestation Realm old ancestor have? If he didn't want you to notice him, even standing right in front of you, you wouldn't recognize him!"

However...

The elder shook his head and said, "Not Dharma Manifestation, just Tao Tribulation!"

Not Dharma Manifestation, just Tao Tribulation?

Merely eight words.

To Sha Ying, they sounded like a bolt out of the blue thundering in his ears, causing his face to alternate between pale and flushed, showing an intense color of disbelief, "How can this be? I don't believe it, I can't believe it... In the Tao Tribulation Realm, who can be stronger than me, stronger than Xiao Tianjiao? How can such a being exist..."

His face was extremely ugly.

Recalling how he had just breached the sixteenth level, only one step away from his idol.

He was so happy, so excited, so proud!

But now...

Reality had slapped him hard across the face.

No!

This was rubbing his face in the dirt!

"Damn it, who is this person who has the audacity to humiliate me so? I will tear you to pieces..." Sha Ying's eyes were bloodshot, his initial shock turning into venomous hatred.

Today was supposed to be the most glorious day of his life.

But now...

All of it had turned into a mirage, into a stepping stone for Xiao Yi.

Sha Ying's eyes gleamed with a vicious cold light. Had the person breaking through been an old ancestor of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he would have hesitated to seek revenge, but the elder in front of him had already clarified that the other party was not an old ancestor from the Dharma Manifestation Realm. With his status, wasn't it a simple matter for him to crush the other party as he pleased?

At this moment.

Xiao Yi, deep within the Cave of Desire, had no idea of Sha Ying's thoughts.

He had already entered the eighteenth level.

In front of him was an endless expanse of pitch darkness, with an aura of ghostly solemnity. The world was pitch black without any light. Yet strangely, in such an environment, Xiao Yi could still clearly see everything in front of him.

In the center of this dark space, a colossal figure lay prostrate on the ground.

"What is that?"

Xiao Yi's pupils shrank slightly. Upon seeing the figure, he instinctively felt a heart-throbbing sensation.

Even Little Lin in his arms was restless and uneasy.

Wriggling its body and poking its head out, its eyes full of wariness, it said, "Boss, I have a very bad feeling about this..."

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Xiao Yi patted its head reassuringly as he cautiously approached the massive figure.

In this entire dark space, there was only this one dark existence.

The mountain appears near but is far in reality.

What seemed to be a mere few hundred meters away turned out to be several kilometers in distance. As Xiao Yi approached the dark figure, he couldn't help but inhale sharply.

This immense body was a thousand zhang tall, towering and reaching into the Azure Sea.

It was not a mountain peak.

This was, shockingly, half a head.

Just half a head, and yet it was a thousand zhang tall. What kind of massive creature could this be?

"You've come!"

An ancient voice suddenly rang out.

It seemed to come from the depths of the void, echoing throughout the empty Cave of Desire on the eighteenth layer, vast and filled with majesty, and even a trace of vicissitude.

As if it had witnessed the ancient vastness, seen the Azure Sea turned into mulberry fields.

"Who is the senior?" Xiao Yi asked.

Humm!

Above the enormous beast's head, a shadowy figure fell.

It was an elder with a cane.

With kind eyebrows and benevolent eyes, and a red mole between the eyebrows, compassionate and merciful, his eyes were peaceful and profound, like a calm ocean. In his eyes, seemingly a cycle of vast phenomena, they rested upon Xiao Yi and Little Lin in his arms.

"I had thought that it would be Xiao Tianjiao who could enter the eighteenth layer, but he stopped at the seventeenth. You, you are even more outstanding!" The elder's ancient gaze carried a hint of peculiar colors.

Making one's state of mind unconsciously become tranquil.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, "May I ask who the senior is?"

"You may call me Xuan!"

Xuan smiled, then said, "Little fellow, aren't you curious about what Xiao Tianjiao encountered on the seventeenth layer?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Xuan waved his hand.

A screen of light fell before Xiao Yi, showing the figure of Xiao Tianjiao within it. Before him appeared two choices. On the left was Xiao Yi, and on the right was the grave of Xiao Yi's mother.

"Nothing but trash, killing him would dirty my hands. As for this..."

Xiao Tianjiao's proud words came from the screen, his gaze directed at the humble grave: "I, Xiao Tianjiao, do not kneel to heaven above or earth below, how could I kneel to a dead person?"

Xiao Tianjiao, with a wave of his hand.

Boom!

The entire grave burst apart.

Even though it was merely an illusion, Xiao Yi's body still tensed, his eyes turning completely red in an instant. He gritted his teeth tightly, making a grinding noise: "Xiao Tianjiao..."

Each word was uttered with exceptional weight.

As if he wanted to grind him to dust.

Xiao Tianjiao's pride and strength were evident.

The illusion had not confused his mind.

But his pride made even the thought of annihilating Xiao Yi's illusion feel like a disgrace, as if killing Xiao Yi would taint his hands. Even in front of the grave of his birth mother, he disdained to offer tribute.

Not kneeling to heaven or earth.

What was his mother?

What right did she have to make me, Xiao Tianjiao, kneel?

With just a palm strike, shattering the mother's grave, even though it was an illusion, the indifference and ruthlessness of Xiao Tianjiao could still be seen.

The light screen quietly disappeared.

Xuan gazed at Xiao Yi, saying, "Do you hate him?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Yi looked up at Xuan, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Xuan narrowed his eyes, saying, "I can give you the power to surpass him!"

The voice was enticing and mesmerizing.

Those with weak wills,

Would surely be affected.

Xiao Yi bit his tongue, the sweetness and sting helping him to regain clarity, he said coldly, "Without you, I can still surpass him, Xiao Tianjiao!"

Xuan fell silent.

After a long moment,

Xuan revealed a gratified smile, "Having passed the test of the seventeenth layer of the Cave of Desire, you truly did not disappoint me. Xiao Yi, aren't you very curious about my identity?"

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

Xuan slowly began, "I am…"
