Only when he arrived before the creature did Ye Xuan sense how terrifyingly enormous it was.
It was like he'd arrived at an enormous planet. If he descended onto it, he would even be able to see mountains, rivers, valleys, grasslands, and so on. It was as if there was a complete ecosystem on its body.
However, because the powerful creature was already dead, even Ye Xuan who was clad in the Eternal Armor felt extremely ghastly from the extreme coldness it emanated, let alone other living beings. Unless they'd surpassed the Exalted Exalted Realm, otherwise, no living being could survive on this powerful creature.
"Hmm, why is it like this?" When Ye Xuan descended onto the powerful creature and wanted to absorb its immortal essence, his expression suddenly changed.
Only now did he discover that apart from the frigid Qi, he couldn't sense any life force from this powerful creature.
This was unusual as well. Because even if a powerful being like this that had surpassed the Exalted Realm died, the immortal essence within its body would not disperse even after several eras had passed. It would remain in the world forever, and this was evident from how its body was still unharmed as it floated here.
"Nine heavens and ten earths, Soul Search!" For the sake of searching, Ye Xuan formed seals with his hands and did not hesitate to exhaust the power of his soul to execute the Soul Search technique he'd created to search the powerful creature beneath him.
However, the more he searched, the more unsightly Ye Xuan's expression became. Because he noticed that even though the powerful creature's body was unharmed, the immortal essence within it had vanished a long time ago. No matter if it was the dragon marrow in its horns, the fire god's essence in its wings, or the serpent dragon's essence in its tail, all of them had vanished completely.
Even the blood and bones within its body had melted away, and only this empty shell remained.
"Wait, if it's only this shell, then no matter how powerful this creature was when it was alive, it shouldn't be able to emanate such a cold energy."
All of a sudden, something occurred to Ye Xuan. He started to search the body of this powerful creature with his Primordial Spirit again.
However, this time, in order to find out the source of the extremely cold energy, Ye Xuan even consumed one-third of the Primordial Spirit of this Primordial Spirit clone to search this powerful body inch by inch.
"There it is!" After nearly four hours, Ye Xuan, who had been searching with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of joy appeared on his face, and then he leaped up and flew towards the head of this powerful creature.
Only when he arrived before the creature's head did Ye Xuan discover that there was a three-meter-wide hole between the creature's brows.
For humans, a three-meter-wide hole was already very large, but compared to this powerful creature that was several times larger than a planet, the three-meter-wide hole could not even be considered a hole made by a needle.
Within the bloody hole, an even colder power was spreading out. Apart from that, he could also sense that there was a trace of a terrifying corrosive power within the extremely cold power.
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and a golden chime appeared in his hand.
This golden chime was a forbidden Buddhist artifact that he had found on the Spirited Mountain. From the looks of it, it had been refined by a Bodhisattva cultivator. Although it could only be used once, its power was comparable to a saint artifact.
When he tossed the golden chime into the hole, he suddenly saw a gray mist emerge from the hole and wrap around the golden chime like a spirit snake. Before Ye Xuan could perform a hand seal, the forbidden Buddhist artifact lost its luster in the blink of an eye. As if it had experienced several eras, it directly decayed into ashes.
That was not all. After the gray mist corroded the golden chime, it swept out as if it had a mind of its own and pounced towards him.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but be astounded when he saw a Buddhist forbidden weapon that was comparable to a sacred weapon turn into ashes in less than a breath of time under the gray mist. When he saw the gray mist pouncing towards him, he hurriedly leaped up and flew away from where he stood.
Although the gray mist seemed to have a mind of its own and could devour a forbidden Buddhist artifact that was comparable to a saint artifact, it was not very fast, so Ye Xuan easily escaped from it.
Standing in the distance and looking at the gray mist that was still lingering in front of the bloody hole, Ye Xuan could not help but frown.
It was obvious that the gray mist in front of him was not simple to be able to corrode a forbidden Buddhist artifact that was comparable to a saint artifact so quickly.
Ye Xuan quickly pondered in his mind, trying to find out the origin of the mist. In the end, he really did think of a forbidden mist.
It was said that after a great emperor or ancient emperor died, there was a possibility of some kind of corpse transformation. In the end, the great emperor or ancient emperor's life form would decay and produce corpse qi. Combined with the various lingering obsessions and mutations before their death, it would finally form a forbidden mist known as the Devil's Mist.
This kind of forbidden mist was extremely terrifying. Not only could it corrode all things, but it could also devour the essence and blood of all things. Even the sun, moon, and stars would wither because of its essence.
The powerful creature in front of him had clearly surpassed the supreme realm. It might have been an immortal True Immortal when it was alive, and after it was born, its corpse would mutate and produce an even more terrifying Devil's Mist. If Ye Xuan's guess was right, this Devil's Mist would not only be able to corrode a saint artifact, but it could also devour even a ninth heaven Quasi-emperor.
Although this Devil's Mist was extremely terrifying, when he thought of its effects, Ye Xuan's eyes could not help but light up.
Everything was relative, and the Devil's Mist was indeed very terrifying to ordinary people. However, if he could subdue this Devil's Mist and use it to deal with his enemies, the effect would be unexpected.
At this time, Ye Xuan could not help but think of the emperors of the restricted areas in the Big Dipper. Those Great Emperors who had severed their own cultivation base had severed their cultivation base and sealed their essence and qi into the source of god. That was how they managed to linger on while at death's door.
However, like this, they could not completely stop the invasion of time. For this reason, they could only launch a dark upheaval every few million years. This was how they managed to survive by hiding in the darkness.
What these supreme experts feared the most was the drying up of their blood qi and essence. Given the characteristics of the Devil's Mist, it was simply the nemesis of these supreme experts.
Before long, he would arrive at the Big Dipper. No one knew whether he would encounter the masters of these restricted areas. If he could subdue this Devil's Mist, it would become an important trump card for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan could not help but feel excited. He began to sink his consciousness into his treasure trove and began to search.
