"Drop your blood on it."
As Ye Xiao was observing the Beast Skin, a stiff voice suddenly sounded beside his ears. Ye Xiao's heart suddenly shrank, a frown appeared on his face as he looked around, asking, "Who? Who is it?"
"Tsk! Drop your blood!"
The same voice sounded again but this time, it was acpanied by a strange "Tsk" sound, giving Ye Xiao a bad feeling. It was as if he dared not to drop his blood, someone or something will attack and kill him immediately.
Ye Xiao lowered his head and instantly saw the most terrifying scene. The skeleton's skull turned around. It was facing Ye Xiao and was looking at him with its two empty eye sockets, and its lower jaw was trembling.
"Hurry up and do it!"
Ye Xiao had seen many bizarre things by now so he was not that much shocked. He soon calmed down and asked, "Why should I drop my blood on it?"
"Tsk! If you want to leave this place alive, then do as I say."
Ye Xiao frowned. He looked at the skeleton and then without dropping his blood on the Beast Skin, he tried to leave this place. He was shocked to see that the space around him seemed to be locked by some kind of strange formation, and with Ye Xiao's current knowledge of formations, it is impossible to break this formation.
Well, Ye Xiao had another method through which he could try to leave this place. That was the gate on the Fifth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. But Ye Xiao also wanted to know what this Beast Skin was. After all, the Three-eyed Clan was an extremely secretive clan and no one knows any inside information about them.
This Beast Skin seemed to be related to the Three-eyed Clan. If he could get some information about them, how nice would it be?
Ka-cha!
Suddenly, Ye Xiao was attracted by the sound of something cracking.
He looked at the skeleton and saw it being shattered inch by inch, eventually turning into fine powder. A slight breeze blew in the air and the powder instantly disappeared without a trace. The bones seemed to have never appeared before him at all.
What happened?
Ye Xiao was pletely dumbstruck. He could not tell what happened just now. The skeleton was clearly talking to him just a moment ago, and the next moment, it shattered and turned into powder before dispersing in the air.
Was it a dream? He ruthlessly pinched his thigh.
Hiss!
He grimaced in pain and shook his head. No, it wasn't a dream. It was real. What happened just now was real. However, this was simply too unbelievable.
"If you want to go out alive, you have to drop your blood on it."
Remembering what the skeleton told him, Ye Xiao looked at the Beast Skin in his hand and felt even more uneasy. He took a deep breath and finally put his finger in his mouth, and bit down forcefully. The tip of his finger was cut open and bright red blood flowed out.
Drip!
A few drops of fresh blood fell onto the Beast Skin. In the next moment, the seemingly ordinary Beast Skin suddenly began to emit an inparably resplendent golden light.
The Beasts, Humans, Monsters, and people of some other races on it seemed to have e alive. Before Ye Xiao could react and understand what happened, the pair of three eyes on the Beast Skin lit up and the next moment, Ye Xiao's vision blurred.
When everything in front of his eyes became clear, Ye Xiao was surprised to see that his surrounding has changed. He seemed to be standing at a great hall of some ancient building.
Ye Xiao looked around and was shocked to see a person with four hands and three eyes standing in front of him, calmly looking at him.
"A human?"
The person in front of him looked at Ye Xiao and muttered, and then sighed before speaking again, "I didn't expect one of the greedy humans to get lucky out of all those thousands of races!"
Ye Xiao, who was looking at his surroundings, stopped looking here and there, asked with a frown: "Can I ask who senior is and what do mean by the previous sentence!"
"Sigh!"
The man sighed deeply and said, "You can say, I'm the last head of the Three-eyed Clan that has disappeared in the long river of history!"
Then he once again looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Since the guardian didn't kill you immediately after seeing you, it means there is something about you that makes you pletely different from other greedy humans!"
"Guardian?" Ye Xiao frowned and realizing something, he suddenly exclaimed, "Eh! You are talking about that skeleton who was crawling on the floor, giving off a creepy feeling."
The man in front of him shook his head and said, "He was the genius of my Three-eyed Clan. At the age of five hundred years, he had already bee a Worldly Divine Lord. You can imagine how shocking his talent was. There has never been a person as talented as him appearing under the Heavens!"
"Unfortunately, the destruction of my clan caused him to forcefully seal a portion of his soul inside his own body to pass down my clan's last legacy!"
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'legacy' and muttered in low voice, "Legacy of Three-eyed Clan! Who knows how many people will fight for this legacy if they were to know about its existence!"
The person opposite to Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "Yes, that's true. At my time, almost not a single person under the Heavens would not be moved when hearing about the Legacy of my Three-eyed Clan. But in your era, I think very few might have even heard of my Three-eyed Clan."
"And it seemed like you are one of such people!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied, "I've read about the Three-eyed Clan in an Ancient Book I got my hand on in an Ancient Ruin. But there were not many things about the Three-eyed Clan written in that Ancient Book. From what was described about the Three-eyed Clan, I can say that your clan was simply too secretive, and not a single outsider knows about the abilities of your Three-eyed Clan!"
The person nodded his head and said, "You are right! I didn't expect there would be a book which described about my Three-eyed Clan."
"Sigh! Let's get back to the official business here."
"The Legacy of my Three-eyed Clan is our three eyes and their abilities. But you should not that there is not a lunch that can be eaten for free."
Ye Xiao nodded his head and became serious. He knew that if he wanted to get the mysterious abilities of the eyes of the Three-eyed Clan, he has to do something for them. So, without hesitating, Ye Xiao asked, "Please tell me what do you want me to do!"
"There is no need to hurry!" The person opposite to Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "Let me tell you something important first. My Three-eyed Clan was born after the end of the Primordial Era. We heard many things about the Primordial Era and the legend of Nine Ancestral Dragons as well as the shocking strength of Primordial Race."
"But I can still say that if my Three-eyed Clan was born in the Primordial Era, we would have the ability to pare with the Primordial Race. It is just that my Three-eyed Clan was born with a curse that no one from my Three-eyed Clan would ever be able to bee a Ruler. The path of cultivation of our Three-eyed Clan would always end after cultivating to the Nine Marked Heavenly Lord Realm. After that, no matter how hard we tried, we would never be able to break through again and bee Rulers. Nine Marked Heavenly Lord was our limit, placed upon us by the Heavens itself!"
"On the other hand, the Primordial Race was born with the blessing of Heavens as the first-ever race to appear. Almost all the members of the Primordial Race could bee Ancient Gods."
"Sigh! Even Heavens was jealous of our abilities!"
"Anyways, though my clan never gave birth to a Ruler, even Rulers were afraid of us. Do you know why?"
Looking at Ye Xiao, the last head of the Three-eyed Clan said proudly, "All because of these three eyes of us. These are the eyes we, Three-eyed Clan, are the most proud of. We have never let any outsider know about the abilities of our eyes. But today, I'm going to pass down exactly this legacy of my Three-eyed Clan to you."
"Do you know why?"
The head of the Three-eyed Clan again asked.
Ye Xiao had a guess in his heart but he choose to stay silent and listen to what the person opposite to him had to say.
