The short and skinny man died an unexpected death but Ye Xiao himself was also not very good.

Even though he managed to block the attack of the short and skinny man but he was unable to avoid the aftereffect of that attack. His hand was now turned back to its original form. His hand which he use to block the dagger, was bleeding badly.

He also felt that he was lucky. If not, he would be much more injured that what he right now. Feeling the threatening aura coming from Ye Xiao, the balance of the short and skinny man was already disturbed and it made his attack less effective.

"Phuu!"

Ye Xiao started panting after all the Dragon's Claws consumed all of his spirit energy. He sat down on the ground and ate one Jade Lotus after taking it out from the Heavenly Pearl. He hands as well he himself quickly recovered back to his peak. His spirit energy also slowly replenished.

Ye Xiao walked0 to the corpse of the short and skinny man, sat down crossed leg and placed his hand on it.

"Devour!"

Ye Xiao started devouring and the amount of spirit energy in his dantian started to increase. Surges of spirit energy started to gather in his dantian. A few moments later, the spirit energy inside his dantian started to overflow.

Ye Xiao circulated the spirit energy across his entire body as he squeezed out all of his potential.

Presently, inside his dantian, the spirit energy were compressing at a very fast speed. When the spirit energy compressed to certain point, another surge of spirit energy again entered his dantian and then it also started to compress. This process started to happen again and again.

After the spirit energy compressed, it once again started to circulate through all of his meridians in his entire body.

Ye Xiao's whole body was shaking and a strong current of energy engulfed his body. This caused his whole body to swell up but luckily, he made a huge progress recently while cultivating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. His body also became almost three times more stronger than before.

If it was before making the progress in the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, he might not be able to handle this degree of energy collisions.

For ordinary people, it is not that difficult to breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm and there was not any demand of strong body but Ye Xiao was different. He was cultivating The Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique which was of unknown grade. And The Heavenly Pearl has also completely changed his body.

Now that he was making a breakthrough to Origin Core Realm while circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, the requirement to breakthrough also grew high.

Ye Xiao did not care about anything at this time. He mustered up his courage and willed all of his spirit energy in his dantian.

The dantian was connected with the various meridians. At this time, inside every meridians, spirit energy was surging and rushing toward his the dantian. Very quickly they all collided inside his dantian.

At this moment, Ye Xiao, who had never experienced anything like this before, was sacred beyond belief.

According to him, with this amount of energy collision, the obvious result would be explosion.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, The Heavenly Pearl inside his heart started to revolve at very high speed and suddenly a stream of a milky white energy shoot out from The Heavenly Pearl and directly went inside his dantian, exactly at the moment of the energy collision. Because of this nothing major happen.

All the energy inside his dantian completely turned into white mist and started to shrink.

"Roar!"

At this moment, The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon roared loudly and a stream of energy also came out from its mouth and went straight into his dantian, mixing in the mist which was shrinking.

Ye Xiao did not knew how much time has passed. He was bewildered by the phenomenon that was happening inside his dantian.

The thing that shocked him more was that he did not even needed to circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. At this moment, it was circulating on its own. The thing that was happening inside Ye Xiao's dantian was already out of his control.

Ka-cha!

Suddenly a very low sound of something's breaking echoed inside his body.

"Origin Core Realm!"

Ye Xiao was surprised to see that he broke through to the Origin Core Realm so easily. Previously whenever he made a breakthrough, a sound of explosion always rang out but now there was no explosion's sound but only a very low sound of something's breaking.

Ye Xiao also felt that at this moment, all the surrounding's spirit energy started to rush inside his body like a torrent wave of tsunami.

His cultivation technique also circulating on its own and only stopped circulating when his cultivation stabilised at the Peak of the First Stage of Origin Core Realm.

Ye Xiao looked inside his dantian and saw that there was an additional thing inside his dantian and it was actually the core which was now the source of all the spirit energy.

What surprised him more was that there was actually two core inside his dantian. One was normal core which was the source of his spirit energy and another core was in the shape of a dragon. Yes, it was in the shape of The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

Ye Xiao tried to communicate with the dragon-shaped core and he immediately felt a terrifying energy moving inside his body. Ye Xiao tried to condense it on his hand and a white energy suddenly appeared. Ye Xiao felt that this white energy was somewhat heavy.

Just as Ye Xiao wanted to see what this white energy can do, he dizzy for a moment and the next moment he started to look at the white energy in his hand with extremely surprised gaze.

"Oh my god! Is this real?" Ye Xiao finally exclaimed loudly in shock.

When Ye Xiao was about to test the power of this white energy, suddenly he felt some extra information appeared in his mind. When Ye Xiao checked those information, he felt extremely shocked as this milky white energy was actually the combination of three types of energy. These three types of energy was: Spirit Energy, Dragon Force and a different type of energy which came out from the Heavenly Pearl which was neither Spirit Energy nor any other energy that exist in this world.

This energy was actually a special type of energy which solely belong to The Heavenly Pearl. When he saw this information, he immediately became excited and exclaimed loudly.

Now, he once again started to look at those information as he previously only looked a fraction of it. The more Ye Xiao went through those information, more shocked he became.

He finally went through all of those information and after digesting it, he took a long breath and let it out heavily.

This special energy was actually not pure energy from The Heavenly Pearl. He will only get the pure energy after cultivating to the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Even though this white energy that he gained from the Dragon-shaped core, which was the combination of three types of energy, it was actually not as powerful as the special energy that solely belong to The Heavenly Pearl.

The special energy of The Heavenly Pearl would be very powerful if it were pure but after combining with other two types of energy its power actually declined by almost 90%.

Ye Xiao first shook his head in disappointment but then again he became excited as he hope and the hope was that when he will cultivate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, the dragon force will separate itself from the Dragon-shaped core and will merge with his body. And when this will happen, Ye Xiao can use the Dragon Force separately.

And also, at that time, the special energy of the Heavenly Pearl will become 80% pure.

And if he wanted the complete pure special energy of The Heavenly Pearl, he has to first become the Martial Ancestor realm martial artist.

But, even though, right now, he has the white energy which is the combination of three types of energy, it was still almost five times stronger than the pure spirit energy, which is already very frightening thing.

he vowed at this moment that he will use this white energy only when he would have no choice but to use it otherwise he will keep it as his third greatest secret.

Obviously, his first greatest secret was The Heavenly Pearl itself and his second greatest secret was his cultivation technique which can let him form nine dragons inside his sea of consciousness and he can also use the dragon's abilities as if those abilities are his own.
