Ardent Fire City. Within a slightly more desolate hall in the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

Chun Yu Wei Yi was currently seated opposite of Marquis Ardent Fire. Each had a long table in front of them. Xue Ying was now still a child, so he remained by the side of Marquis Ardent Fire.

"Little Prince Xue Ying, I might be the hall master of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace in this Ardent Fire City, but I have to pre-warn you in advance. There are many cultivation techniques in this world. For instance, some very formidable inheritances originated from the six great ancient nations which exist in my Southern Cloud King too. Even though it might be hard to find them in the Ardent Fire City, it is quite easy to search for those cultivation techniques in the nation." Chun Yu Wei Yi chuckled, "Just the same Dao of Void path alone consists of several other absolute arts created by the six great ancient nations. I urge you to consider this properly before deciding on what should be your main cultivation technique. After all, cultivation is mentally-draining, and most only cultivate a single absolute art."

"Little Brother Wei Yi, Ying Shan Xue Ying has activated the void bloodline." Marquis Ardent Fire chuckled, "He has done that previously in front of me. I could vaguely sense that the bloodline has an ancient and unfathomable aura. It should be a Cosmos God level bloodline. Haha, Xue Ying is a disciple of my Ying Shan Clan, and his body contains a void bloodline on the level of the Cosmos God realm. That bloodline could only come from the king, which meant that the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" is most apt for Xue Ying."

"Cosmos God level bloodline?" Chun Yu Wei Yi was stunned after hearing it.

Southern Cloud Nation had a total of four Cosmos Gods. All of them cultivated in different directions.

As for the void bloodline… only the king has it.

As the four great clans and those from the aristocratic clan frequently inter-married, even though there were the occasional few who married with those from the neighboring nations, the only one with a void bloodline is Southern Cloud King. After several generations of reproduction, as long as one were not from the same generation as those old men, the current aristocratic clan disciples would usually have Cosmos God bloodlines in their bodies.

It was only that these bloodlines were too diluted, and activating it was extremely difficult.

The Cosmos God bloodline in Xue Ying's body was actually diluted as well! But his realm was high, and Xue Ying was confident of reaching the limit of Primal Chaos realm even without the bloodline.

"Since he has the void bloodline of the king, cultivating the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" will indeed produce great results with half the effort." Chun Yu Wei Yi nodded. Saying that, he flipped his hand before bringing out a black book.

This black book flew directly to Xue Ying, descending right before him.

Xue Ying looked at this black book in front. It was entirely pitch black and gave off a feeling similar to when Xue Ying observed the essence of the void, the 'black fog spherical bodies'.

"The entire scroll?" Marquis Ardent Fire felt slightly startled by the side, "It would cost 100,000 cosmos crystals right?"

"No need." Chun Yu Wei Yi smiled and shook his head, "Little Prince Xue Ying has an amazing talent. He is a Void God at birth and has activated the void bloodline of the king. He is completely qualified to cultivate the entire scroll of "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" for free. I merely have to report this upwards."

Xue Ying understood after hearing it.

He had seen many books and knew that there were rules and limitations for spreading of the absolute art of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was so famous and could become one of the top ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Most who decided to join this religion to learn the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" would have to cultivate the first scroll first. Only when they reached the Unity realm would they be qualified to cultivate the second scroll! And cultivating it required 'expenses'.

Why would those religions be so enthusiastic about spreading their absolute arts? It was all for the sake of earning cosmos crystals! A complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" cost 100,000 cosmos crystals in total.

Being one of the ten great religions in the Realm Heart Great Land, how many cultivators had chosen to learn it? The wealth generated would make Cosmos Gods mad. The Southern Cloud Nation relied on it to obtain a horrifying wealth, and this meant resources! In terms of wealth, the Southern Cloud King could be ranked in the frontmost across all Cosmos Gods in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. He was envied by many other Cosmos Gods, and other Cosmos Gods were doing their best to create absolute arts that were easy to cultivate and powerful. But it was honestly too tricky. Furthermore, proper operation of business must be conducted for the religion to spread to this stage.

For instance, there were leeways given to some when learning the absolute art; those who were very talented could acquire it for free! Because ultimately, when a genius became strong using the absolute art from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, it would only make the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion more famous.

But this condition for cultivating the absolute art for free was harsh. Xue Ying was an aristocratic disciple within the Southern Cloud Nation and had great talent. The bloodline he awakened was also the king's bloodline. That was why Chun Yu Wei Yi had been so confident of applying for a waiver.

"Hua."

Xue Ying flipped through the black book in his hand.

Just as he flipped open, a massive amount of dimmed light shot out from the black book directly into the forehead of Xue Ying.

"Hong!"

Xue Ying's mind rang for a moment.

He could vaguely see a scene in his mind.

There was a piece of primal chaos, and he stood there without knowing time and space. That small little figure stood there, yet it produced a terrifying suppression on Xue Ying. This suppression far surpassed that which Xue Ying felt from World Ancestor and Ancestor Sorcerer. It seemed to be vaguely above the vast aura given out by Sacred Master.

This thin and small figure had an erected nose. His eyes were dark, and he then began displaying a technique.

His entire body was like a weapon. His legs, elbow, back, head, palm, fist, fingers… regardless, every part of his body was a frightening weapon. The techniques he unleashed was were becoming more mysterious over time. In the end, the power he released reached an unfathomable stage.

"Hua." The thin and small figure hacked his palm out. One could see many planets and cultivators in the distant. There were also many flying ships… yet everything was transformed into a piece of art! Those planets, cultivators and flying ships became part of the art.

"Hong."

Following that, this small figure pointed out his finger one last time.

"Hong–"

The moment he tapped his finger out, everything was destroyed. At the moment of shatter, Xue Ying even saw a colossal horror! That aura was something which he had discovered once before only in the higher dimension that he peered through the black fog spherical bodies.

Following that, everything disappeared.

That small thin figure turned into streams of information that entered the soul of Xue Ying. It was the specific cultivation technique for the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", though the method was being suppressed by an unseen force. Xue Ying understood that he could not break apart this shackles to impart this technique to others.

'Such terrifying absolute art. A single palm caused the entire world to become a piece of art? A single tap destroyed the prison of the void, enabling one to see the higher dimensional world?' Xue Ying was astonished. This was something that the Southern Cloud King imparted to others, so to what extent has his personal strength reached?

No wonder he could create this religion and turn it into one of the top ten great religions.

Truly unfathomable!

Within the palace hall, Marquis Ardent Fire and Chun Yu Wei Yi were currently chatting and drinking. They did not disturb Xue Ying at all and knew that Xue Ying was receiving the impartation.

"Hu." Xue Ying placed down the black book. Shock was painted on his face. This absolute art was something he would definitely cultivate properly.

"Little Prince Xue Ying, you have learned this absolute art." Chun Yu Wei Yi laughed, "Only during this impartation will you be able to see the complete training scene of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" by the king. After that, it'll be hard for you to earn this opportunity again. You should experience it properly."

Xue Ying nodded, "Hall Master, I've heard that the"Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" which is spread to the public isn't the complete version?"

"Yes."

Chun Yu Wei Yi nodded, "The practice scene which you just saw by the king is the complete one, and the absolute art you learned is a simplified version. After all, an absolute art that is propagated and spread across the world should be cheap and easy enough. This simplified version is enough for the cultivator to reach the seventh level of Unity realm, and ninth level of Primal Chaos realm."

Xue Ying nodded. From the place he came from, reaching the seventh level at Unity realm and ninth level at Primal Chaos realm was the limit. Yet this was merely a simplified version of the absolute art here.

"If you were to reach the fifth level strength at the Unity realm, I can apply for you to become an inner disciple. By then when you visit the capital, and when your Ying Shan Clan exert a little strength, it shouldn't be hard for you to become an inner disciple. By then, you will be able to get the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles"." Chun Yu Wei Yi laughed, "Actually, many cultivators are ambitious. They obtained the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", and guess what? How many of them could exert the eighth level strength at the Unity realm? And how many could reach the God Yuan Palace tenth level strength at Primal Chaos realm and suppress the new Cosmos Gods? If you could reach that stage, the king would definitely take the initiative in taking you as his personal disciple, and you will thus be imparted with other secret inheritances!"

Very soon, Xue Ying and Marquis Ardent Fire left the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace back to the Marquisdom.

After returning back to his own residence, Xue Ying immediately began his study of this "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

Chapter 1007: Old Mother Ying Shan

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Ying Shan City was one of the few grandest cities in the entire Southern Cloud Nation. It was vast and was also the hometown of the Ying Shan ancestral family.

Within the ancestral family, there was a lofty snow mountain. At the peak of this mountain were ten over houses. It was peaceful. This was the residence of the Ying Shan Clan ancestor, 'Old Mother Ying Shan'.

"Ancestor." An elder stood there respectfully.

Old Mother Ying Shan sat cross-legged on a huge rock looking down the enormous Ying Shan Clan mansion. She shook her head, saying: "That little fellow called Xue Ying has such a great innate talent. It's a pity that he was forced to be given birth in just 15 short years. Otherwise, if he could be nurtured for several hundred more years, the bloodline in his body would likely be stronger. What a pity. Oh right, regarding that Chan Yu Yan Zhen which you reported earlier, were you able to confirm that she is the murderer?"

"Not yet."

This white-haired ancestral family elder responded politely, "We have utilized the illusory realm array to bring her into an illusory realm. Any target would have to obediently answer the truth in the illusory realm. However, she said she wasn't the murderer in the illusory realm and was framed by someone else."

"Oh?" Old Mother Ying Shan's face which was filled with wrinkles remained emotionless.

"There are two possibilities. One, she was indeed framed by someone else. Two, she should have altered part of her memories." This ancestral family elder said, "Since her memories were wiped clean, there is no way we could investigate it."

To the expert cultivators, it wasn't difficult to wipe off one's memories. But it would mean a complete loss of memories on one part. The target would even think that his memories after the alter were real.

"We have tried our best to check into other possible trails, yet all of them were cut. Other than a small section that we could not confirm, what we could investigate included evidence that was destroyed by Chan Yu Yan Zhen." The ancestral family elder said, "Right now, since we do not have any evidence, we can only deduce that Chan Yu Yan Zhen had committed the act and altered her memories."

"She is a disciple from the aristocratic clan. In order to kill her, we must have the evidence. Otherwise, we can only wait for the king to act." The ancestral family elder said.

The disciples of an aristocratic clan had special rights.

The Southern Cloud Nation had its own laws. Aristocratic clan disciples could not be casually killed. Naturally, people like Marquis Ardent Fire and Old Mother Ying Shan who were conferred marquis and conferred king had greater power. They could kill the other party directly.

"This young fellow Ardent Fire has actually caused such a thing to happen in the Marquisdom that he governed." Old Mother Ying Shan frowned.

That time, this marriage was personally asked for by Marquis Ardent Fire–the marriage with Chan Yu Clan.

One had to know there were only three female conferred kings within the Southern Cloud Nation. The relationship between Old Mother Ying Shan and the ancestor of Chan Yu Clan, 'Granny Chan Yu' was excellent; they were practically sisters. This marriage was even brought up by Old Mother Ying Shan to Granny Chan Yu.

"The discipline of Chan Yu Yan Zhen isn't strict enough. Retract all her identity from the Marquisdom and expel her from the place." Old Mother Ying Shan casually said.

Looking at this from the marriage and how she was the one that mentioned this to Granny Chan Yu, Old Mother Ying Shan would be merciful to the other party.

But after retracting her identity and expelling her from the Marquisdom meant that Chan Yu Yan Zhen would no longer be an aristocratic clan disciple. Even though she was a Unity realm with a fourth level power, she would still be a commoner. It was a minor matter for aristocratic clan disciples to kill her. She could also no longer be able to touch the territory, cavern-dwellings, shops and all resources under Ying Shan Lie Hu's name.

"This is something that I personally prepared for that little fellow Xue Ying to nurture his bloodline. He should still have great potential, and whatever we can dig should be dug." Old Mother Ying Shan threw out a storage wristband, "As for other resources and treasures, everything should be arranged according to the identity as a golden order disciple. Alright, hurry up and send it over."

"Yes." This elder acknowledged.

Old Mother Ying Shan's eyes were filled with hope. This was the one with the strongest bloodline coming from the Ying Shan clan since the start. She harbored great hope for him. After all, only cultivators within a clan were truly united on the Realm Heart Great Land.

It was common for a clan to escape to another nation once they could no longer exist in the former nation they were in.

Strictly speaking…

The Black Devil Four Nations were part of one of the six great ancient nations, 'Summer Wind Ancient Nation' during the early days. Over the long years, and after the consecutive Wars of the Ancient Nations, some clans decided to leave Summer Wind Ancient Nation and occupy a territory before building up their own nation. Some clans were even forced to escape because they offended someone, changing their loyalty to another nation.

Hence, when a genius popped up in a clan, the clan would definitely nurture him with all its strength. It would also nurture every single infant conscientiously. It was only due to the enormous size of the clan that made the existence of black sheeps unavoidable.

'Let's see.'

'Let's have a look when this little fellow Xue Ying reaches the Unity realm.' Old Mother Ying Shan thought, 'We would be able to deduce the potential of his bloodline through the period he takes to reach the Unity realm.'

"Scram."

"In the future, if you dare to take half a step into the Marquisdom, you will be killed immediately."

Chan Yu Yan Zhen stood outside the gates to the Marquisdom in a daze. Her eyes were filled with despair. Ever since she joined the Ying Shan Clan, she was no longer a member of the Chan Yu Clan and was part of the Ying Shan Clan. Now that she was expelled from the Marquisdom, she would become a commoner from now on.

Everything was gone. No more.

"I did not do it. I really did not do it." Chan Yu Yan Zhen muttered, "I am framed."

She wiped and altered her own memories to escape from death punishment. Until now, she did not even recognize that she had been the one who committed the crime; she still believed she was framed.

"Mother."

Two males brought along several servants and protectors outside the Marquisdom entrance.

Chan Yu Yan Zhen looked over: "My son, I, I am really framed."

"Mother, I and little brother know that you have been framed. But now, that Ying Shan Xue Ying is being doted by the entire Ying Shan Clan. Grandpa Marquis is also standing on his side, making that hybrid delighted. So what if his bloodline is strong? He might not become strong in the future. I'll also become a conferred Marquis in the future and could kill him then to take revenge for you, mom." The eldest son gritted his teeth. The second son was slightly quieter.

After all, the eldest son had long reached the Unity realm and also had a fourth level strength. He was qualified to mention these things. The second son remained at the Void God Origin Birth realm currently, and did not have the foundation.

"Mother, let me arrange a place for you to live in. Go go go, we can only endure it for now. Let's see how the future of that hybrid will fare? He might even have to spend a long time before breaking through to the Unity realm." The eldest son angrily said.

"Zhong Fu, I, I, ai… I am really framed. Whatever, let's go. The whole Ying Shan Clan is currently doting on that Ying Shan Xue Ying." Chan Yu Yan Zhen felt anger brewing in her heart, yet she was clear that she had to be much more vigilant since her identity as an aristocratic clan disciple was robbed.

Time passed. Xue Ying did not place that Chan Yu Yan Zhen in his eyes. After all, it was quite easy for him to reach the conferred king stage. His target was to become a Cosmos God.

Cultivation was still the most important for him.

In the blink of an eye, it had been 1,500 years later. During this cultivation, it was akin to ten days or half a month for mortals.

Within the Ardent Fire Marquisdom.

Xue Ying was currently seated in the courtyard on a beautiful spring day. He held onto a book and was feeling quite warm in his body: 'This spiritual liquid sent over by this ancestor of Ying Shan Clan is extremely good in nurturing my bloodline. The concentration of this void bloodline of mine has become several dozen times denser now, allowing me to cultivate more easily.'

It was primarily due to his bloodline being too diluted previously. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, there was no point nurturing someone with such a diluted bloodline.

But…

The 'void' in the Realm Heart Great Land and the 'void' in the primal chaos void had many similarities. Cultivation naturally became much easier. The soul at the Void God level had quickened the pace of Xue Ying's cultivation as compared to when he was in the womb. Furthermore, he even had the void bloodline aiding him, and also "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". In reality, Xue Ying had cultivated the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" to the third style during these 1,500 years, acquiring a fifth level strength which he had in the past.

Such strength naturally allowed him to awaken and step into the Unity realm.

'No rush no rush.'

'Even though I want to sculpt myself as an absolute talent, even though there was the situation of 'being forced into this world prematurely', reaching the Unity realm in just 1,000 years or so is too fast. Mn, it'll be better for me to break through when it is closer to 10,000 years.' Xue Ying contemplated, '8,000 years it is!'

He had seen through many different books and had planned for himself according to some examples of other absolute talents.

He did not want to become too dazzling. It might just cause undue suspicions on him as 'someone who reincarnated', resulting in a powerful expert to come and check through his memories using the illusory realm.

"My son, my son."

A loud shout came from outside. One could see a male filled with smile rushing over. He seemed passionate and joyous.

Xue Ying subconsciously grabbed his head.

Oh my gawd! This father of his, 'Ying Shan Lie Hu', was truly something.

Chapter 1008: 8,000 Years

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"My son is reading? Being your father, I naturally brought something you like to eat." Ying Shan Lie Hu flipped his hand. He supported a wooden tray with a hand, and on this wooden tray placed some wooden steamer and jade plates with delicious food placed in them. The sweet smell diffused out of the food.

That time when Xue Ying chased after the Destruction Devils, he had tasted all kinds of delicious food across the primal chaos void. Now that he was reincarnated into the Realm Heart Great Land, other than reading books, he frequented all the famous restaurants in Ardent Fire City. He had also eaten many nice snacks from the road stalls. And now, quite a lot of aristocratic clan disciples knew that this Little Prince Xue Ying was someone who liked good food.

"Elder Tian, I am entering closed-door cultivation. Ensure nobody come and disturbs me." Xue Ying turned around and slipped away.

"My son, my son." Ying Shan Lie Hu walked over.

Elder Tian stood right in front of Ying Shan Lie Hu, blocking him from proceeding on: "Prince Xue Ying is going to enter closed-door cultivation. You can't disturb him."

"Ai."

Ying Shan Lie Hu could only purse his lips helplessly after seeing this. He then casually brought some delicacies from one of the wooden steamers into his mouth, "Such good food yet he doesn't want to eat. Truly… oh, I'll just let Xing Lan eat them."

Ying Shan Lie Hu turned around and went to find Rong Xing Lan next.

Elder Tian saw this and muttered to himself, "This Ying Shan Lie Hu has a really thick skin."

The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves that were lying on the ground glanced at the leaving Ying Shan Lie Hu before closing their eyes and went back to deep sleep.

"Hu, I can't even beat him or expel him away. His skin is so thick too. He is giving me a huge headache." Xue Ying hid into a tall pagoda. The pagoda contained bursts of distorted spatial flow. At its center, there was a huge stone about 3.3cm in diameter floating. Xue Ying immediately sat down cross-legged on this stone the moment he entered.

Some of the distorted spatial flow continued streaming in the surrounding, while some permeated into the body of Xue Ying.

This was a Void God Pagoda bought specially from the Ardent Fire Marquisdom for Xue Ying to cultivate the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

"My father of this life?" Xue Ying shook his head.

He did not like this Ying Shan Lie Hu in his heart.

After all, before his startling birth, Ying Shan Lie Hu did not care about the lives of his children. He only knew how to enjoy! He did not have the slightest feeling towards Rong Xing Lan in the past. Just this reason alone led Xue Ying to resent him.

It's only…

His birth was too dazzling. Ying Shan Lie Hu had come here once every few days with a smile and full of passion. Xue Ying ignored him, yet Ying Shan Lie Hu would turn around to coax Rong Xing Lan. Rong Xing Lan discovered that her husband was treating her well. Even though she knew the other party was deliberately fawning on her, she gradually forgave him.

The relationship between Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Lie Hu became well after that. Xue Ying could only try his best to avoid the other party: "Whatever, as long as Mother is happy, and for him not to make disasters, I'll just treat him as an amusing person."

"Since I've entered closed-door cultivation, I should properly cultivate."

Xue Ying looked at the book in his hand. He then kept it. This book introduced the Southern Cloud King.

These few years…

Xue Ying collected quite a few books describing the Southern Cloud King. He also collected some intelligence, and from hence he discovered that the Southern Cloud King had long reached the 'pinnacle of void-ification', and even had avatars! This gave Xue Ying the feeling that he had a bright future within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and it was worth him spending the effort to cultivate this.

After keeping the book, Xue Ying began his cultivation on the floating rock.

Xue Ying was different from others. He did not have any bottlenecks when he cultivated the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". After all, the highest level of this simplified version would only enable the cultivator to reach the God Yuan Palace ninth level strength. In addition to how strong the Southern Cloud King was, the art he created was even easier to learn, and its difficulty was equivalent to reaching the Star Pagoda eighth level in his previous life.

Adding up to how similar the void between both origin worlds was, it was natural for Xue Ying not to have any bottlenecks in cultivating.

As for the other main cultivation path he planned on taking, the 'Dao of Mirage', due to the drastic differences between the laws and profound mysteries here, cultivating it was much slower. This was also the reason why Xue Ying decided to first reach the Primal Chaos realm using the Dao of Void. With a stronger soul, his cultivation of the Dao of Mirage would become much faster.

"Hong long long~" His body rumbled.

A total of eight crystal pillars were embedded within the Void God Pagoda. The distorted spatial streams that were generated were permeating into the body of Xue Ying continuously. This caused the precious medicines that were applied on the body of Xue Ying to seep into his muscles, bones and blood vessels, making the bloodline in it more concentrated. Actually, this Void God Pagoda was meant primarily for refining the Southern Cloud Sacred Body.

"Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" contained an important refining cultivation technique, the 'Southern Cloud Sacred Body'.

Cultivating the Southern Cloud Sacred Body required even more precious and expensive treasures the further one progressed in it, absorbing all sorts of essence into the body to refine it. In reality, this was akin to transforming the body into a 'secret treasure weapon', cultivating it to a limit. By then, any part of the body could be used as a weapon to battle.

An indestructible body coupled with the effect of 'void-ification'. Cultivators who cultivated in the void were exceptionally good at using the void to escape too.

Hence, this 'Southern Cloud Sacred Body' was practically the most perfect survival technique. This was one of the reasons why the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, a religion that came from a tier two nation could become one of the top ten greatest religions across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

Time passed.

"Mn?" Xue Ying suddenly gained some feeling in his heart. He abruptly stopped cultivating.

'It has been 8,000 years?' Xue Ying softly nodded. He planned to break through to the Unity realm in 8,000 years after being birthed. Even though time passed relatively quickly and soundlessly during cultivation, Xue Ying knew deep in his heart that it was time.

'I've cultivated the fourth and fifth style of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".'

Xue Ying sat cross-legged there.

"Hong."

Many unseen void spatial edges appeared from his body suddenly, flying out in all directions. Everywhere it passed, the void was cut, causing ripples to appear. Their power was strong and had given off the manner which Chun Yu Wei Yi had.

"Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!"

Suddenly, Xue Ying's body began flashing rapidly. He teleported multiple times within this Void God Pagoda. Closely following that, he went back to his original position above the rock.

'I can also teleport now.' Xue Ying nodded slightly.

The fourth and fifth styles of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" were moves at the God Yuan Palace sixth level.

The sixth and seventh styles were at the seventh level.

And the eighth style was at the Primal Chaos realm seventh level. Some Primal Chaos giants might not be able to reach the seventh level strength just by using the profound mysteries at the Unity realm. Hence, the eighth style utilized profound mysteries at the Primal Chaos realm, allowing Primal Chaos giants to reach seventh level strength. A cultivator at the seventh level could be qualified to become a conferred marquis!

The ninth and tenth style were at the eighth level strength.

And the final 11th and 12th styles pertained to the ninth level strength.

'Time to go out and have a walk. I'll return to break through to the Unity realm after that.' Xue Ying stood up. He was nonchalant despite reaching this strength.

God Yuan Palace sixth level…

One had to know that disciples at the God Yuan Palace fifth level within the Marquisdom could become elders. Any outsiders who had reached the sixth level, as long as they were loyal to the Marquisdom, they could become elders too. Such great experts would have special rights when they joined any random Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. In the primal chaos void of the other origin world, new Primal Chaos giants were merely at the sixth level strength.

Xue Ying left the Void God Pagoda.

"Sou, sou."

The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves that were outside guarding the pagoda rushed over. In reality, this pagoda had protectors guarding it. When Xue Ying was in closed-door cultivation, other than Grandpa Marquis, none dared to barge in.

"Let's go out and have a walk." Xue Ying had grown taller. He gave off the feeling of a handsome young man.

Very soon, a carriage that was pulled by two dragon beasts were pulled. A handsome young man sat on the carriage with two Black Stream Cloud Wolves in front of him. And beside him stood Elder Tian. The nine personal guards all stood behind the carriage.

"Hu."

The carriage was being pulled across the sky. It headed in the direction outside the Marquisdom.

"Prince, where should we go first?" Elder Tian asked.

"Let's pay the Liu Zhen restaurant first. It has been a long time since I last ate. My stomach is already rumbling." Xue Ying said. The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves beneath his legs howled with joy. Clearly, the two of them liked the food served from that Liu Zhen restaurant too.

Chapter 1009: Meeting

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The Liu Zhen Restaurant spanned along the street for up to two kilometers long. Pavilion by pavilion lined up the entire place in neat, orderly rows. Over here, throngs of customers could be found flooding the area–the atmosphere was truly bustling with excitement.

"Prince Xue Ying, you haven't come for a long time. Come in quickly. Shall I arrange for the Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion?" A manager of the restaurant immediately went forward to receive Xue Ying. After all, in terms of identity, this Little Prince Ying Shan Xue Ying was ranked at the frontmost across the entire Ardent Fire City. If he were to offend this little prince, the whole restaurant might have to shut down.

Within one of the pavilions in the entire restaurant, the 'Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion', the carriages and dragon beasts were arranged to wait there. Xue Ying had also bought large buckets filled with fruits and meat for the creatures to eat.

Above the Auxiliary Gentleman Pavilion.

Xue Ying sat with Elder Tian, and the nine personal guards were split evenly across two tables by the side. The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves similarly had delicious food to enjoy.

"This Liu Zhen Restaurant is barely ranked in the top hundred, yet I like them the most." Xue Ying ate to his heart's content. A powerful cultivator ate purely to enjoy its taste. After all, it was a minor matter for a cultivator not to eat for trillions of years.

The female attendants were like clouds; they sent up the dishes one after another.

These female attendants were usually World Deities or True Gods. It was not easy for them to find a job with their strength in the Ardent Fire City; they could merely act as servants. Only after they broke through to the Void God realm could they barely do some of the 'harder' tasks.

After eating for an hour, Xue Ying's entire body oozed of sweat. He felt blissful. Xue Ying gradually stopped and began enjoying sips of wine instead. He was also enjoying the scenery of the streets through the windows.

"Mn?" Xue Ying suddenly looked up and stared at a distant location. This was an area about a dozen kilometers away. At that moment, Xue Ying frowned slightly.

"Prince?" Elder Tian asked.

"I've finished eating. It is time to leave." Xue Ying stood up.

Elder Tian, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and his personal guards had already eaten to their fill; they all stood up on Xue Ying's signal for departure.

At a street about a dozen kilometers away.

There was a luxurious carriage arcing through the sky. This carriage was pulled by a total of eight violet-gold dragon beasts. There were even a dozen beautiful female attendants surrounding the carriage. Everywhere it passed, cultivators would move away for this carriage. None dared to look up because those who lived in the Ardent Fire City for a slightly longer period would know this was the carriage of 'Chun Yu Feng', the master of the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

Being the master of the most significant squandering establishment in the entire Ardent Fire City, Chun Yu Feng naturally had a high status. He was absolutely someone famous in the Ardent Fire City, and a majority of the aristocratic clan disciples did not even dare to offend him, much less the commoners.

Within the luxurious carriage.

The carriage was merely a few meters as seen from outside, yet it was tens of meters within.

Two plump males were seated next to each other. They were being served by beauties. One of them was naturally Chun Yu Feng. His face was filled with smiles, causing others to feel as if they were bathed by the spring wind. On the other side, the plump male was quite tall and big, and he emitted a terrifying somber aura. There was black aura coming out from his nose between his breaths. The beauties by his side were all slightly trembling with fear.

"Brother Qian, this time, I'll have to trouble you to send me more commodities." Chun Yu Feng bitterly said, "I do not have enough commodities, which would make my business really tough to operate in the future."

"There isn't enough commodities to be distributed according to everyone's wishes. This allocation will naturally offend everyone." That plump gigantic male nonchalantly said.

"I know Brother Qian is having a hard time too, and I naturally will not let Brother Qian suffer from losses." Chun Yu Feng passionately said.

"No rush." That plump gigantic male remained indifferent.

"Yes yes yes, come, come and have a taste of this Heavenly Dawn Spiritual Wine. This is a really fragrant wine which our king brewed after leaving the Realm Heart Great Land and discovering the 'Heavenly God Dawn Tree' from the neighboring primal chaos void. I had a hard time trying to get this amount." Chun Yu Feng waved his hand. A half-translucent wine flask appeared in front. One could see the wine glowing in green swishing about through the flask. This flask directly flew onto the table in front of that plump gigantic male.

"Oh, Heavenly Dawn Spiritual Wine?" Only then did this plump male reveal a grin.

"Good wine, good wine." That plump male seemed to be delighted. As he drank, he would look out at the streets. Even though this carriage was sealed, and outside couldn't see through the walls, it was possible for those inside to see the scenery outside.

Enjoying beauties serving him while drinking wine, this plump male felt in bliss. Suddenly, his expression slightly changed.

"That is–"

That plump male saw a pair of commoners by the side of the streets. That girl was just a True God, but red divine imprints were starting to rotate in the eyes of that plump male. He could not help but feel delight racing through his heart, 'This spiritual light emitted by the soul is so concentrated. It is truly a good medicinal lure! Tsk tsk, and it got discovered by me.'

"Stop." The plump male said.

"Quickly stop the carriage." Chun Yu Feng immediately announced with a loud voice. The carriage stopped rapidly, and only then did Chun Yu Feng accompany with a laugh: "Brother Qian, what's the matter?"

"That girl." The plump male pointed out to the distant streets, "That one who wears a violet gown with a jade hairpin on her head." He did not wait to condense an illusionary figure of that girl.

"I want this girl." The plump male said.

Chun Yu Feng looked afar. His information network within the Ardent Fire City was fast. Even though there were not that few aristocratic clan disciples, there were not too many of them either. He recognized all of them and knew with a glance that this girl came from a common background. Even if she was from an aristocratic clan, her status as a True God must be low.

"Brother Qian, rest assured, I'll immediately grab her over." Chun Yu Feng chuckled.

That plump male nodded.

He was an outsider, and it was not appropriate for him to conduct such acts. But it was simple for Chun Yu Feng to do so.

Yan Wen and his daughter had seen that luxurious carriage in midair a long time ago and recognized that it belonged to the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master. They naturally evaded to the side.

Nevertheless, that carriage sped downwards, stopping not far away from this pair of father and daughter.

The door to the carriage was lifted open, revealing two plump males being served by beauties within. Of which, the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng looked downwards. That pair of small eyes were extremely cold and had landed on the figures of Yan Wen and his daughter: "Bring that girl over."

"Yes." The female attendants outside the carriage all had extraordinary strength.

At that moment, two Unity realm attendant female rushed down.

"Mercy! Misty Cloud Pavilion Master, please spare this little girl." That middleaged male, 'Yan Wen', immediately knelt down to beg, "I am a pill alchemist from the medicinal hall of Yan Clan, and do hope for sirs to spare this girl." The girl by the side, Yan Yu, knelt down in terror similarly.

"Hmph," Chun Yu Feng coldly snorted. He swept his cold gaze across the two father and daughter and was too lazy to speak.

Yan Wen felt panicked, and his heart was in a mess.

He was clear that even if he was the master of the medicinal hall, that identity was insufficient when compared to this Misty Cloud Pavilion Master, much less when he was merely a pill alchemist.

"Father." Yan Yu was also incredibly anxious. What would the outcome be if she were to fall in the hands of the Misty Cloud Pavilion Master? If she was lucky, she might just be toyed with by the guests of the Misty Cloud Pavilion. If she wasn't, she might just be ravaged to death.

"Shua."

A figure suddenly appeared in midair. He was a gray-robed old man. The gray-robed old man appeared in front of the kneeling father and daughter. With a wave of his hand, 'hong–'a void fluctuation struck the two Unity realm female attendants who were rushing down.

"Tian Yi Zhi?" The Misty Cloud Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng looked down with his cold glance. He saw that gray-robed old man and could not help but frown. He recognized this person as an honored guest of Marquis Ardent Fire.

At this moment.

A carriage arced through the sky over. A handsome young man was seated on it. Two Black Stream Cloud Wolves were lying by his side with nine solemn personal guards emitting a grim and cold aura.

"Pavilion Master Chun Yu, why, are you thinking of snatching my servant too?" That handsome male sat there. He lightly caressed the glossy and smooth back hair of the Black Stream Cloud Wolf and nonchalantly said. His voice reverberated in midair, and many cultivators who stood around the street did not dare to speak.

"Prince Xue Ying?" A smile appeared on the face of Pavilion Master Chun Yu, though he was slightly frowning at the plump male by his side.

That plump male stared back at the distant Xue Ying with a cold gaze.

Xue Ying was similarly staring at that plump male.

Chapter 1010: Weapon–Spear

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Yan Wen and his daughter both knelt there. Their hearts were palpitating. They were both excited and quaking in fear too.

They could not help but look at the two carriages being pulled by dragon beasts. One of them was luxurious and contained both Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng and a mysterious plump male. The other carriage carried Little Prince Xue Ying who was currently caressing the glossy hair of his Black Stream Cloud Wolf."

"Father." Yan Yu transmitted to her father.

"Relax, relax, the identity of Prince Xue Ying is extraordinary. Since he declared it openly, that Pavilion Master Chun Yu will definitely give him some respect." Yan Wen transmitted words of consolation to his daughter. His heart remained anxious though.

The cultivators in the vicinity had long moved further away from the street. Even though they did not dare to shout and speak, they were all watching the events proceed.

The conflict of both parties above…

Was absolutely between the most prominent characters in the entire Ardent Fire City. One wielded the most significant money squandering establishment and had many subordinates; he had great influencing power too. The other was Little Prince Xue Ying who was being pampered by the whole Ying Shan Clan–even Old Mother Ying Shan regarded him highly.

"Prince Xue Ying, would it be possible for you to part with this female attendant of yours?" Chun Yu Feng chuckled. He was cordial, "I'll naturally not let you, Prince Xue Ying, suffer."

"Since you know she is my subordinate, you still want to snatch her away?" Xue Ying sat there casually speaking.

Chun Yu Feng's expression turned frigid.

It was just a little girl, yet the other party did not show any qualms of giving in. If this Prince Xue Ying were deliberately doing it to obtain benefits from him, Chun Yu Feng would gladly give way and take it as an opportunity of improving their relationship. Who would have thought that this Little Prince Xue Ying was a fool and wanted to help that weak little girl out of her predicament!

Chun Yu Feng glanced at that plump male by his side.

"I do hope that you could help and take down this woman. I'll definitely remember this favor of yours, Brother Chun Yu. The matter regarding the commodities can be discussed too." The plump male transmitted back.

Chun Yu Feng felt his heart turning bitter. Brother Qian was clearly not willing to give her up.

"Brother Qian, this Little Prince Ying Shan Xue Ying is too young and innocent. It is the hardest to deal against such an innocent fellow." Chun Yu Feng transmitted back.

"With the identity of Brother Chun Yu in Ardent Fire City, you can't even accomplish this minor task?" The plump male replied.

"Ai, this is ultimately the Ardent Fire City, and the status of Marquis Ardent Fire cannot be moved. Furthermore, this Little Prince Xue Ying has said it before that she is really his attendant! If I were to snatch her away, it'd be my fault. Once the affair is made huge, I could not even gain any advantages." Chun Yu Feng answered.

Snatching away a commoner, killing a pair of commoners…

With how vast the Ardent Fire City was, given that there were several trillions of cultivators living within, this was indeed a minor matter. But speaking from the side of the law, an aristocratic clan disciple would only be fined cosmos crystals when he committed the act.

In reality, as long as the matter was not made prominent, and one did not kill or snatch too many commoners away, there would not be any huge punishments!

But if one were to snatch or kill thousands of commoners, then, strictly speaking, even an aristocratic clan disciple could not be forgiven.

"Why aren't you coming up? Let your father return first." Xue Ying was too lazy to even care about delaying for more time. He gave an order.

Elder Tian pulled that girl. At the same time, he transmitted to this pair of father and daughter: "Follow along with prince first. As for you who is the father, if you want to see your daughter in the future, you can visit the Marquisdom."

"Go, go! Why are you standing here for? Hurry over!" Yan Wen urged her.

"Mn." The daughter Yan Yu nodded.

"Sou."

Elder Tian directly pulled this girl over and flew to the side of Xue Ying's carriage. She stood there beside Xue Ying as if she was really an attendant.

"Let's go." Xue Ying was too lazy to even glance at the opposite Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng.

The two dragon beasts let out a howl. They immediately pulled the carriage and flew across the sky at high speed, leaving behind just Misty Cloud Pavilion Master's carriage.

"Hua."

Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng closed the curtains. He looked towards the currently sullen plump male before saying: "This little prince is too young, and he does things really rudely and unreasonably. But we are originally in the wrong in this affair and could never win against him. It is useless even if I snatched her away. If I were to dare and move, the army from the Ardent Fire Marquisdom would directly kill their way over."

Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng also let out a sigh of relief.

Since Xue Ying left so unhesitantly, he actually gave Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng the excuse of being helpless.

"Hmph." That plump male's expression remained sullen. The black aura moved slowly over his body. He stated coldly, "Go to the Misty Cloud Pavilion first."

"Alright alright." Chun Yu Feng answered.

"Hua–"

Very soon, this carriage flew at high speed towards the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

The father of that daughter, 'Yan Wen', let out a breath of relief. He had guessed that this matter would not implicate him even if the perpetrators did not succeed in kidnapping his daughter away. After all, Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng would not want to tear apart all relation with Little Prince Xue Ying.

'Fortunately, Prince Xue Ying acted. Otherwise, this would be a dire situation.' He sighed inwardly. Even though there were many cultivators within the Ardent Fire City, in addition to the presence of 'fine' as a punishment, drastically reducing the killing and snatching by aristocratic clan disciples, when the matter ended up on him, he still felt the despair. Nevertheless, living within the city was better than living out of it.

The world outside the city was truly a chaotic one where killings ran rampant. True Gods like him and ordinary void Gods would get killed without living for too long outside the city.

"Little Prince Xue Ying is really amazing."

"He actually did not give that Misty Cloud Pavilion Master any respect."

"Why would Little Prince Xue Ying regard that Misty Cloud Pavilion Master at all? After all, the talent of Little Prince Xue Ying ensures his future is bright. He would likely become a Conferred Marquis in the future!"

"Right right, that is a Conferred Marquis, and he naturally is different from other aristocratic clan disciples."

The dense cultivators around the place continued their businesses. They were discussing in twos and threes, sighing about the whole affair that happened. To them, this was practically a clash between two huge characters who were almost at the top layer in the entire Ardent Fire City. One level higher? That would be between Marquis Ardent Fire and Chun Yu Wei Yi.

On the carriage.

Xue Ying sat there. The female attendant Yan Yu who stood by the side said with gratitude: "Many thanks Prince Xue Ying for saving my life."

"Despite saying it personally, that Misty Cloud Pavilion Master seems to still want to kidnap you away. It seems that this is the idea of that companion of his–he has a huge desire for you." Xue Ying said with apathy, "You should just remain as my attendant temporarily for now. Without this identity to protect you, you would likely be kidnapped away."

"Yes." Yan Yu said.

She also discovered that it was the plump male by the side of Chun Yu Feng who had a cold and greedy gaze.

"Elder Tian, investigate for me who is that person together with Pavilion Chun Yu Feng today." Xue Ying said.

"It should not be a person from Ardent Fire City. I'll immediately investigate everything properly once I return to the Marquisdom." Tian Yi Zhi said too.

Xue Ying nodded.

He was able to see with a single glance that the aura from that plump male was vile. It seemed he did not care about Chun Yu Feng either. But he was ultimately just a cultivator at the Unity realm, and Xue Ying did not place him in his eyes. He was someone who had cultivated the fourth and fifth style of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", and those two moves were sixth level techniques.

As for the stronger seventh level strength? If he had a seventh level strength, he could directly become a Conferred Marquis! Hence, Xue Ying would have reached an extremely high status within the Ardent Fire City in just 8,000 years of cultivation.

Very soon.

The carriage arrived 'Treasured Goods Market' region. The entire Treasured Goods Market was filled with shops that either sold pills, materials, weapons and all sorts of unique items. There were low to high grades of item existing within. For instance, in the five great sacred worlds where Xue Ying originated from, such trades were usually conducted only by the holy grounds. But it was different in the Realm Heart Great Land. The transactions conducted here flourished more and varied greatly. The entire 'Treasured Goods Market' even had a vast array operating that prevented anyone from stealing away the items from any shops within.

"Prince Xue Ying, you haven't come for a long time."

"Prince Xue Ying, hurry up in."

As Xue Ying came, many managers of the shops became passionate.

Because during the 1,000 years or so after Xue Ying came into this world, other than going out to eat all sorts of delicacies, the other activity which Xue Ying liked to do was to stroll around the Treasured Goods Market in many of the shops within. He would browse through the different weapon refinements and even some items that originated from the ancient remnants. Xue Ying was able to discover different mysteries from them.

Xue Ying entered a huge shop. Just as he came in, he was able to spot a spear floating right at the center of the entire shop; this spear was emitting an ancient murderous aura.

"Mn?" When Xue Ying saw that spear, he felt the aura coming from it, causing his eyes to brighten.

"Prince Xue Ying, you have good eyesight." The manager by the side enthusiastically greeted.

Chapter 1011: Using the Spear in this Life again

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"I'll have a look." Xue Ying directly responded. He cut off the lengthy introduction which the manager was about to give.

"Please, please." The manager immediately replied.

Only then did Xue Ying extend his hand to grab this spear. The surface of the spear contained many veined patterns, and it was comfortable to hold the spear body.

With a pull, the spear moved like a dragon. At the same time, it gave off a faint wail.

The manager muttered softly after seeing it: "This Little Prince Xue Ying, it seems you know spear techniques?"

Xue Ying grabbed on to the tip of the spear body with his left hand while caressing the spear body with his right. A familiar feeling was gnawing on his heart. Before reincarnating, Xue Ying primarily cultivated the Dao of Mirage. It was not appropriate for him to use the spear and engage in close combat while using the illusory realm. Hence, Xue Ying had directly given up using the spear for close combat in the future despite using it frequently during the early stages.

But after coming to the Realm Heart Great Land, Xue Ying had decided to cultivate in two main paths. The Dao of Mirage still remained as one of it since he had a high talent in it. The other was the Dao of Void! After all, he already accumulated great experience and understanding in it. Xue Ying obtained the inheritances from Void Primogenitor, Monarch Nine Cloud before getting the chance to study the scaled armor left behind by General Mo Gu. Xue Ying even comprehended the void for a trillion years in the Lost World Corridor. These foundational comprehensions coupled with his perception of another way of using the void during the process of transfer when using the Realm Heart Order and the fact that he joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion meant that Xue Ying would have a bright future in the void.

Hence, it was natural for Xue Ying to cultivate in these two Dao paths!

And the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" was a close combat absolute art! Most would usually use their bodies as a weapon, but it was possible for the cultivator to use other weapons too.

'In this life, I'll be using the spear again.' Xue Ying thought.

"Weng."

He then sent his consciousness into the spear. Previously, it was the aura of this spear that attracted him over. This time, he wanted to thoroughly examine it.

"Hong~" As his consciousness permeated into it, Xue Ying could vaguely see a huge dark maelstrom stairway. The stairway led deeper and deeper, and space became more mysterious. After all, the void in the Realm Heart Great Land was quite similar to the void in the origin world he came from, Xue Ying was thus able to understand part of this profundity.

As Xue Ying inspected further, he continued moving deeper along the maelstrom stairway. It got faster and faster, and the veined pattern son the spear body lit up.

Suddenly, everything shattered.

Xue Ying frowned as he looked at the spearhead of the spear. The spear body was a dull gray, yet its spearhead was emanating a bloody murderous aura and was deep violet in color.

"It seems this spearhead isn't one entity with the spear body?" Xue Ying asked.

"Prince Xue Ying has good eyesight." The manager answered from the side, "We have requested an expert over to inspect through this weapon before. It should be refined by a Cosmos God, and the spearhead was added after that. The spearhead is quite murderous and tyrannical as you can feel."

Xue Ying shook his head softly.

Murderous and tyrannical?

The original spearhead of this spear body should allow the cultivator to unleash an extremely horrifying void killing move! And it was absolutely at the Cosmos God level. Furthermore, this usage of the void was something Xue Ying had never seen before. If he had the whole spear, Xue Ying felt that it would be worth it even if he used the entire Ardent Fire Marquisdom to exchange for it.

It's a pity that there was only the spear body left, causing its value to depreciate significantly. Even though the spearhead was added after that, it was quite ordinary.

"Prince Xue Ying." The manager added, "This secret treasure weapon is missing its spearhead, yet the spearhead added after that had been used for a trillion years. Its power is extraordinary. More importantly, it is cheap. You only need to pay 12 million cosmos crystals for it!"

He stared at Xue Ying.

12 million cosmos crystals… the number of people who could afford it in the entire Ardent Fire City could not be more than what could be counted using two hands! This so-called Little Prince Xue Ying who was favored by Old Mother Ying Shan should be able to afford it.

"12 million cosmos crystals?" Elder Tian Yi Zhi roared from the side, "Do you know how much is 12 million cosmos crystals? It can even buy a complete secret treasure weapon!"

There were many Cosmos Gods in the Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, it was more common to find secret treasure weapons here as compared to in the primal chaos void five great sacred worlds.

Xue Ying was watching from the side.

It's value?

With his previous attainments in the void, Xue Ying could deduce the origin of this spear was extraordinary. Just the value of its spear body should be worth beyond 100 million cosmos crystals! It seemed this shop should never have invited a Primal Chaos Giant who cultivated in the Dao of Void over. Otherwise, they would not have stated this price.

But Xue Ying would not readily agree to the price reported by the other party because he only had a total of 15 million cosmos crystals with him! He should be ranked in the top three within the entire Ardent Fire Marquisdom in terms of wealth.

Of which eight million cosmos crystals had been bestowed by Old Mother Ying Shan! Two million cosmos crystals were given by Marquis Ardent Fire. Marquis Ardent Fire had also given him cavern-dwellings, shops, and many territories. Xue Ying was able to collect rental fees from those cavern-dwellings and shops. The reason why some of the aristocratic clan disciples could live so extravagantly was that they owned multiple cavern-dwellings and shops, allowing them to earn cosmos crystals continually. Even though it was few, one had to know that a single cosmos crystal was worth more than 10,000 upper graded primal rocks. One could live in luxury.

Xue Ying was fully confident of himself. He did not have to depend on the cavern-dwellings and shops for a living. Hence, he had long sold those to the Marquisdom, obtaining five million cosmos crystals in total.

Currently, he had a total of 15 million cosmos crystals!

Hw was more wealthy than even the elders of the Marquisdom!

"Elder Tian, you don't have to say anymore. 10 million cosmos crystals. This is the utmost limit of our master." The manager helplessly said, "Prince Xue Ying, honestly speaking, this spear body was discovered 15 years ago by a group of cultivators adventuring in some ancient remnants. They were very fortunate to obtain this spear body amidst a round of killings. In the end, two cultivators who survived brought this spear body over to me! We had even suffered from the assassinations by the companions of those who went to the ancient remnant. At that time, this matter had been made huge, and Prince Xue Ying could find out more about this easily. My master has already planned to return to his clan's 'Celestial Yin City' several hundred years later if he could not sell this spear. By then, there would be many more experts who could afford it."

Xue Ying slightly nodded as he listened. He believed this story should not be fake since an event which happened just 15 years ago should easily be investigated by him.

"Alright. I'll buy it for 10 million cosmos crystals." Xue Ying nodded.

"Alright, alright!" The manager was in great joy.

His master was only a disciple from one of the four great clans, the 'Celestial Yin Clan'. He had been arranged here to take charge of the business here. If he sold the spear, his master would have greater benefits from then on. If he were to sell the spear in the Celestial Yin City, his master would definitely be exploited by the clan.

'We've earned great! I thought this spear would not be sold even after master set the lower limit of 10 million cosmos crystals! Previously, we only spent three million cosmos crystals to buy it.' This manager felt joyful. Actually, those who risked their lives in acquiring this spear body from the ancient remnant was very satisfied with earning the three million cosmos crystals.

But he did not know.

This secret treasure weapon which seemed lacking the spearhead was in reality worth more than 100 million cosmos crystals! This was ultimately a small place, and even if Marquis Ardent Fire came personally, he who did not specialize in the void could only deduce it was refined by a Cosmos God. He could not verify how precious it is.

Very soon, that Celestial Yin clan disciple 'Celestial Yin Flowing Jade' rushed over personally to complete this transaction.

"Haha, Prince Xue Ying, I'll be returning to the Celestial Yin City in a few days. If you were to pay the Celestial Yin City a visit, you must tell me. I'll definitely receive you well." Celestial Yin Flowing Jade was extremely delighted. This shop was property under his name. Previously, he spent three million cosmos crystals to purchase this spear, which cost him almost all his treasures. Furthermore, he even pawned some merchandise from his shop for cosmos crystals.

Currently, he had earned seven million cosmos crystals in a single instant. Celestial Yin Flowing Jade felt he no longer needed to stay in the Ardent Fire City anymore. It was fine for his subordinates to stay here, and he could return to the Celestial Yin City then.

The Celestial Yin City was protected by a Cosmos God and was much more flourishing than this place.

Xue Ying's mood was good as he brought this spear back to the cavern-dwelling. He directly entered closed-door cultivation in the Void God Pagoda.

Within the Void God Pagoda.

Xue Ying sat on the floating great rock, caressing this ancient spear which emitted a murderous aura. Nevertheless, he felt satisfied. He reminisced back to those days when he trained in the spear.

'This is a secret treasure weapon, and I could use it even after reaching the Cosmos God realm.' Xue Ying chuckled, 'You will be accompanying me for a very long time.'

"Weng."

The spear let out a ringing sound. Being a secret treasure, it naturally had spirit.

Xue Ying chuckled. Using the spear once again made him feel happy. He then began concentrating once again: 'It is time for me to break through to the Unity realm.'

Chapter 1012: Ecstasy

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Xue Ying was meditating calmly on a great floating stone with distorted spatial stream revolving around him.

With many precious bloodline-nourishing treasures provided by Old Mother Ying Shan and Marquis Ardent Fire, Xue Ying's void bloodline that was originally diluted had become more concentrated. But it remained 'thin'. Nevertheless, Xue Ying's realm had reached a profound stage, and he was able to activate the hiding void bloodline in his body easily.

"Hong~"

The void bloodline became activated on a deeper level. At that moment, it enabled a qualitative transformation across every single particle. They were changes happening within the structure of the particle. This happened when the cultivator upgraded from Origin Birth realm to the Unity realm. With this upgrade in the level of his body, it was natural for a phenomenon to be created where the surrounding world energy was frantically being absorbed. The Void God Pagoda was built for cultivation, yet a deep black hole in the form of a maelstrom had formed within. All the incoming world energy was then released from the black hole before ending up being absorbed into the body of Xue Ying.

After a moment later, his body broke through to the Unity realm.

'I can start cultivating the "Southern Cloud Sacred Body".' Xue Ying revealed a look of ecstasy. The "Southern Cloud Sacred Body" was a body-cultivation technique accompanied by the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". Xue Ying did not dare to cultivate previously when he first trained in the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" because he would have to step into the Unity realm immediately after that.

"Hua, hua, hua…"

Waving his hand, a pile of dark green soil was placed on the great stone in front of him.

Xue Ying began unleashing the Southern Cloud Sacred Body cultivation technique. The moment it was operated, this dark green soil began emitting green light spots that entered Xue Ying's body…

This Southern Cloud Sacred Body was considered an apex body refining technique even in the six great ancient nations. The only flaw it had was its extravagance! To train in this technique, it was required for the cultivator to absorb many precious essences. The idea behind it was to treat the body like a 'secret treasure weapon' and refine it. It was comparatively easier to perfect a secret treasure weapon since the soul would be implicated when honing the body, making it vital for one to be careful when doing so. The required materials were much more demanding, and their value would naturally be more expensive.

'Wait until I become stronger. By then, I can depend on myself to earn more cosmos crystals. Relying on Marquis Ardent Fire and Old Mother Ying Shan is not enough.' Xue Ying understood this point. Marquis Ardent Fire was only an ordinary Primal Chaos giant, so how much treasures could he have? Old Mother Ying Shan had more riches, but how much could she earn after bestowing them to her descendants?

Ultimately, Xue Ying had to depend on himself.

Of course, it would be sufficient to rely on the help of Ying Shan Clan during the early stages. This was the benefit of being part of a clan. Those without a good background would have to risk their lives to earn sufficient resources. Without enough resources, cultivation would be a hundred to a thousand times harder, especially when cultivating those harsh systems like the 'laws and profound mysteries system'.

Half a month later.

Xue Ying left the Void God Pagoda. He looked up, only to see the snowflakes floating down.

"It's snowing?" Xue Ying felt startled.

"What!?" Tian Yi Zhi looked at their clan prince with shock. This handsome young man was currently emitting an aura that was shockingly at the Unity realm.

"Unity realm? It has been 8, 8,000 years? Just 8,000 years?" Tian Yi Zhi did not dare believe. To Void Gods, 8,000 years was merely a nap.

"It has been a while since I accompanied mother. Elder Tian, let's go." Xue Ying said.

"Ai." Tian Yi Zhi hurriedly answered. The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves by the side were also in a daze, though they soon rushed up to Xue Ying.

"Weng."

The array that enveloped the huge Marquisdom also sensed Xue Ying's aura, of which the array spirit reported this upwards to Marquis Ardent Fire.

Marquis Ardent Fire was enjoying wine by himself next to the lake.

The snowflakes were seen falling from the sky.

"Grandpa Marquis." A girl politely said from the side.

"How is the matter regarding the secret treasure weapon?" Marquis Ardent Fire indifferently said, "He did not get scammed right?"

Previously, he was informed about how Xue Ying spent a total of 10 million cosmos crystals to buy a secret treasure. At that instant, he felt that Xue Ying was definitely cheated.

Only secret treasures qualified as upper graded would be worth above 10 million cosmos crystals!

What would a young fellow who was only 8,000 years old know about secret treasures? Marquis Ardent Fire was indignant at that moment. He felt that the other party had set a trap to scheme on Xue Ying because he had the cosmos crystals.

But knowing that it was a shop under the name of a disciple from the Celestial Yin Clan, 'Celestial Yin Flowing Jade', Marquis Ardent Fire was not in a rush to flare up. Instead, he dispatched someone to investigate the whole matter clearly.

The girl respectfully answered: "That weapon is a spear. It was discovered by several Unity experts 15 years ago when they were outside adventuring in an ancient remnant. They even fought and killed each other. In the end, they finally returned to the city and sold that spear to that shop owned by Celestial Yin Flowing Jade at three million cosmos crystals. At that time, the shop even suffered from assassination by other fellows, though they were fortunate to survive. At that time, our Ardent Fire Army had even dispatched soldiers out to capture them and interrogate what happened."

Marquis Ardent Fire's frown let off after hearing it.

The shops located in the Treasured Goods Market were all petty. For them to be willing to purchase this spear at three million cosmos crystals, and for Xue Ying to buy it at 10 million cosmos crystals, would not result in Xue Ying losing much.

As long as it was not a scheme, Marquis Ardent Fire would never intervene.

"The spear body is extraordinary. It's a pity the spearhead is missing and added after that." The girl said, "That is why it was sold at this price. Prince Xue Ying should not have suffered from a loss."

"Mn." Marquis Ardent Fire nodded.

"Also, we have investigated the identity of the guest with Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng that had a conflict with Prince Xue Ying on the street." The girl said, "He is called Qian Gan Xue and is not someone famous. He is just a person that commits shady businesses."

Marquis Ardent Fire softly nodded.

The Misty Cloud Pavilion was the most significant money squandering establishment. It naturally conducted business transactions beyond the law.

"Continue observing him." Marquis Ardent Fire coldly ordered. Being the person who wielded the greatest authority in Ardent Fire City, he would definitely send people to pay attention to experts that had some exceptional backgrounds.

"Yes." The girl acknowledged.

Marquis Ardent Fire held onto his wine cup. He drank another cup before his expression changed.

"Master, Prince Ying Shan Xue Ying has broken through to the Unity realm." A voice directly sounded by his ears.

"Hu!"

Marquis Ardent Fire abruptly stood up, causing the girl beside to look with shock at her clan's Grandpa Marquis.

"Unity realm? He entered the Unity realm?" Marquis Ardent Fire was both shocked and joyful. He excitedly murmured to himself, "It has only been 8,000 years yet he broke through to the Unity realm?"

That was a horrifying speed.

Under normal circumstances, those who were given birth to Origin Birth realm would have to spend 10 million years before they stepped into the Unity realm.

"Old Ancestor wasn't wrong in her words." The eyes of Marquis Ardent Fire lit up. He was ecstatic, "This Prince Xue Ying was forced into birth prematurely, yet his potential remains huge. It is entirely possible for more potential to be dug out from him! Bestowing him those bloodline-nourishing treasures is indeed the right choice! Even if Xue Ying remained in conception, he would remain in the mother's womb for several hundred to thousands of years before coming out at the Unity realm. The difference now was that he spent just ten times the time to reach the Unity realm."

Marquis Ardent Fire felt satisfied.

The number of people who were at the Unity realm during birth could be counted with one's fingers in the history of Southern Cloud Nation. All of them easily broke through to the Primal Chaos realm! And two had even become Conferred Kings!

Even if Xue Ying was prematurely given birth, he reached the Unity realm in 8,000 years…

This period that was ten times longer did not matter much.

"Nevertheless, he is still slightly affected by the premature birth." Marquis Ardent Fire could not help but beam, "But the impact isn't huge. Hahaha, it seems that I will have another Primal Chaos expert in my Ardent Fire Marquisdom."

Even though Xue Ying would definitely become a Conferred Marquis in the future and open a Marquisdom himself, his relationship with Marquis Ardent Fire would never change.

After all, Xue Ying belonged to the lineage of Marquis Ardent Fire! Strictly speaking, Marquis Ardent Fire was his grandpa!

"I must immediately report this to the Old Ancestor." Marquis Ardent Fire hurriedly transmitted this news to Old Mother Ying Shan.

Chapter 1013: Eliminate him

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Xue Ying was currently accompanying his mother Rong Xing Lan and sister. They were presently chatting while eating.

Rong Xing Lan felt joyful because her son had finally left closed-door cultivation after more than 6,000 years; she had not seen her son ever since then. Currently, she was a noble, so it was logical that she could order the servants with a command, asking them to serve delicious food for them to enjoy.

"Even though cultivating is important, my son, there is no need to exhaust yourself so much." Rong Xing Lan smiled, "Mother might not understand many things, but I have read quite a few books these years and understand that cultivating the heart is important towards securing a bright future. Ultimately, son, you have experienced too few things."

"This son understands." Xue Ying obediently answered.

Rong Xing Lan giggled even more brilliantly. She liked her son a lot, yet did not dare to disturb him in fear of affecting his future. She could only watch from the side. But her current identity was no longer the same. She had many treasures now, and by relying on the bloodline cultivation system, she quickly broke through to the True God realm. Without having a limit to her lifespan, she naturally became calmer and more tranquil.

"Xue Ying." A voice sounded throughout the place.

Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue were all shocked. Who dared to intrude Xue Ying's cavern-dwelling?

Xue Ying turned his head over too.

Only to see two figures currently flying over. One of them was naturally Marquis Ardent Fire. He stood obediently behind an old granny. That old granny was currently smiling at Xue Ying. Marquis Ardent Fire roared out: "Why aren't you greeting the Old Ancestor?"

"Xue Ying greets Old Ancestor." Xue Ying immediately bowed politely.

Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue were both greatly startled. There was only one person in the whole Ying Shan Clan who was qualified to be called the Old Ancestor, and that was the legendary Old Mother Ying Shan! The two of them immediately stood up from their chair and knelt by the side.

"Stand up." Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand. Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Xi Yue both stood up.

Old Mother Ying Shan then walked to a stool and sat down. Marquis Ardent Fire stood by her side. Old Mother Ying Shan then began scrutinizing Xue Ying.

This young fellow…

Was still young, yet he had broken through to the Unity realm.

"Ardent Fire did not govern his Marquisdom well, leading to you being forced into birth prematurely." Old Mother Ying Shan chuckled, "It is fortunate that you could reach the Unity realm in 8,000 years. Even though your premature birth might have influenced your potential, it isn't huge."

"I am thankful for those treasures bestowed by Old Ancestor and Grandpa Marquis." Xue Ying replied.

"Those are just external materials. What matters more is your extraordinary potential." Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand, causing a wristband to fly over, "Properly cultivate. With your talent, it isn't hard for you to reach the Primal Chaos realm. I hope that the King could personally make you a Conferred King one day. It isn't enough to reach that standard just by relying on your bloodline. What you need more is to cultivate your heart, gain more experience and temper yourself well."

Marquis Ardent Fire was startled when he heard that.

Conferred King?

One had to cross through the God Yuan Pagoda ninth level to be qualified for that.

Old Mother Ying Shan nodded. She was only proposing an ambitious request. In her opinion, Xue Ying would likely reach the Primal Chaos realm after cultivating for a period. But it was hard to reach the 'Conferred King' position. One had to have a profound heart realm. Even if the bloodline was more precious, it was entirely unrelated to the cultivation heart. One still had to temper himself.

Xue Ying reached the 'My Heart as the World' realm level in his previous life, and it wasn't easy.

"Xue Ying will definitely do his best." Xue Ying nodded. He took over the wristband, refined it and checked through the content. His heart could not help but jump at the next moment!

There was a pile of cosmos crystals within, and after sweeping through it, Xue Ying ascertained that there were 50 million cosmos crystals! Such a tremendous amount!

"Cultivate well. Also, cosmos crystals are precious. You must think through in the future when you purchase things." Marquis Ardent Fire threw over a storage treasure too. Xue Ying naturally received it and checked through it. There were eight million cosmos crystals placed inside. Adding them up, Marquis Ardent Fire had given him a total of 10 million cosmos crystals in total. That was a considerable burden to Marquis Ardent Fire.

Xue Ying naturally accepted them. Being a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan, he was willing to receive these benefits. In the future, he would undoubtedly take up a role with a massive responsibility for the clan. This was something Old Mother Ying Shan and Marquis Ardent Fire looked forward to.

"What?"

"Old Mother Ying Shan has such luck? One of her descendants actually broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years after birth?"

"Teacher, I've heard that the cultivator called Ying Shan Xue Ying was forced into birth after just spending 15 years in the womb. The Ying Shan Clan has immediately provided a large amount of bloodline-nourishing treasures for that young fellow to use. Only then did he break through to the Unity realm in 8,000 years."

"It seems there will be another Marquis in the Ying Shan Clan in the future."

"That old granny of Ying Shan Clan is most likely grinning until her mouth is twisted."

This news spread like wildfire across all the powerful organizations within Southern Cloud Nation. They also etched this name–Ying Shan Xue Ying–in their mind because it was certain for him to become a Conferred Marquis in the future.

And within Ardent Fire City, 'Chan Yu Yan Zhen' who had been hiding in the house arranged by her son, fell into a daze once she received the news: "What? The son of that lowly woman broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years? It is almost certain for him to become a Conferred Marquis in the future? What should I do? What should I do? Will he remember this enmity and kill me in the future once he becomes a Conferred Marquis?"

Amidst the vast rolling black cloud, an ancient palace could be seen faintly within.

Within the palace.

A massive figure with a black twisted horn sat cross-legged within. His body was surrounded by a cold black aura.

"You say that young fellow called Ying Shan Xue Ying is a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan, Ardent Fire Marquisdom?" That muscular male with black twisted horn said with a deep tone. His blood-colored eyes looked downwards.

"Teacher, this disciple is sure. Strictly speaking, Ying Shan Xue Ying is the son of the second son of Marquis Ardent Fire, 'Ying Shan Lie Hu'." A red-robed male beneath respectfully answered.

"Marquis Ardent Fire?"

The tall, muscular male continued speaking with a deep tone, "Who would have thought that he will be so lucky!"

The red-robed male obediently remained quiet.

He was clear of how thick the enmity his teacher had with Marquis Ardent Fire. He was even responsible for collecting all intelligence regarding the Maruiqs Ardent Fire.

Within the Ardent Fire City inside the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

The Misty Cloud Pavilion spanned across a considerable area, and it was covered in fog. This place was like a fantasy. In one of the slightly more concealed residence.

"Who would have thought that Prince Xue Ying has broken through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years." The plump male sat there. He was letting the beauties serving him and feeding him fruits. His expression was grave.

He had never given up his thoughts of snatching that girl called 'Yan Yu'. That was a pill lure which he had always dreamt of getting.

"Chun Yu Feng that trash." The plump male gritted his teeth.

Chun Yu Feng had even agreed to his proposal previously, but after Xue Ying broke through to the Unity realm, Chun Yu Feng immediately rejected him. It represented that he would no longer be participating in this affair. After all, why would the other party offend an existence who would definitely become a Conferred Marquis in the future? Chun Yu Feng was not that foolish.

"Mn?" The plump male became startled.

"Everyone withdraw." The plump male stood up.

"Yes." The surrounding beauties all obediently went out.

The plump male then rapidly entered the cultivation room in this residence. It was absolutely safe within and had isolated all scouting techniques from the external world. The plump male even brought along treasures that could block off such methods.

"Weng."

At that moment, an illusory figure appeared by the side of the plump male. He was none other than the tall figure with a twisted black horn. This figure was currently covered in black fog.

"Qian Gan Xue greets master." The plump male immediately knelt. He prostate to the other party in worship.

"Do you know that one called Ying Shan Xue Ying? That Ying Shan Clan disciple who broke through to the Unity realm in just 8,000 years after birth?" The tall figure with black twisted horn said with a cold voice.

"I know him." The plump male immediately answered.

"I permit you to mobilize the manpower from the 12th city. You can use all the cosmos crystals at hand. Kill that Ying Shan Xue Ying for me with the fastest speed." The tall figure with black twisted horn coldly stated.

"Kill Ying Shan Xue Ying?" The plump male was slightly stunned.

The tall figure with black twisted horn looked at him.

The plump male immediately answered, "Yes, yes, master, please feel rest assured. I'll definitely do my best."

"Don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you know the consequences." The voice of that tall figure with the black twisted horn was soft, yet it made the plump male tremble in fear. That was fear originating from the heart.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely kill him." The plump male added.

"Marquis Ardent Fire…" The blood-colored eyes of the tall figure with black twisted horn were filled with full killing intent, "Since I can't kill you, I'll first eliminate the future Primal Chaos existence in your Marquisdom. You will definitely turn mad from it, haha…"

That figure gradually dissipated.

Only then did the plump male stand up. He gulped down and suppressed his racing heart. Thoughts started racing through his mind. He understood it was impossible for him to disobey his master. Just thinking of the consequences of doing so made a chill run down his spine.

'Fortunately, that Ying Shan Xue Ying has just broken through to the Unity realm. Right now, he should only be able to exert a force at the God Yuan Palace first or the second level. The only troublesome point of killing him though is the fact that the Ardent Fire Marquisdom would definitely put his best resources to protect him." The plump male gritted his teeth, "Master has also permitted me to mobilize the manpower from the 12th city, and to use all the allowance given to me? Mn, I must think of a way that would not fail. The moment we act, we must not give him an opportunity. Otherwise, if that Prince Xue Ying did not die, I'll be the one dying.'

Chapter 1014: Graceful Rain by the Lakeside

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

For the sake of surviving, the plump male 'Qian Gan Xue' began preparing for the assassination. He did not even care about how much cosmos crystals it took. He purchased poison and even invited the killers from 'Dark Devil Great Lake'… Qian Gan Xue even prepared multiple backup plans, but what stunned him was…

That little prince Xue Ying from Ardent Fire Marquisdom actually remained in his residence after purchasing that secret treasure spear!

"I do not believe it!"

"He is just a young fellow who was given birth not long ago. Hence, with his heart temperament, how could it be possible for him to calm his heart down to cultivate for so long? He will definitely come out." Qian Gan Xue anxiously awaited.

Ten years, hundred years, thousand years, 10,000 years, 100,000 years…

Qian Gan Xue fell in a daze.

The 'master' behind him was similarly shocked. Because in their opinion, even if one had a more precious bloodline, the heart temperament would still have to be tempered through multiple occasions. Only then was it possible for the other party to cultivate in closed-door across a million years or longer. Who would have thought this young fellow could enclose himself for so long?

"Master, he, he isn't coming out. What should we do?" Qian Gan Xue reported to his master in a panic.

"Wait! Unless your patience can't even be compared to a young fellow?"

"Yes."

Qian Gan Xue also let out a breath of relief.

His master was sensible and did not force him to assassinate Xue Ying within the Marquisdom. After all, the array security within was strict, and his master would fail the assassination even if he went personally.

Marquis Ardent Fire and Mother Rong Xing Lan both persuaded Xue Ying that cultivating the heart was important, and there was no need to bury one's head into cultivating for a long period. Xue Ying might have acknowledged them using words, but in reality, he continued 'cultivating like a madman', entering closed-door cultivation for several hundred thousand years to a million years. After exiting for a few days, he would return back to cultivating.

He had no choice.

Xue Ying was ultimately not a young fellow. His true spirit reincarnated into this body, and his heart realm had reached the 'My Heart as the World'. Furthermore, he was even a great expert that created two ninth level techniques within the laws and profound mysteries system that was known to be tough! With his current heart temperament, it was quite simple to enter closed-door cultivation for 10 billion years in one ago. As for tempering his heart?

Unless he needed another entanglement with love? Or some inconsolable heartbreak to temper his heart temperament?

Xue Ying was not in that mood to stay idle! Many other cultivators did likewise, and so he could similarly act like he was mad for cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, it had been five million years.

Ardent Fire Marquisdom, within the residence of Prince Xue Ying.

"Hong long~"

The Void God Pagoda's door opened.

A white-robed handsome young man came out. Fine rain drizzled across the world, though when this young man came out, the rain made way a foot away from his body.

"Prince."

"Prince."

Many of the protectors and servants standing guard outside greeted respectfully. The entire residence soon became bustling. Tian Yi Zhi, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and nine personal guards all rushed over. As they came, Xue Ying had already reached one of the nearby lakes.

Beside a lake was a pavilion.

A praying mat was placed within this pavilion. Xue Ying sat there cross-legged. The female servant Yan Yu had respectfully placed a wine flask on the table while warming it up. She looked curiously at her house prince: 'Prince has an extraordinary birth, though I've never seen him like any girls or see him visiting the Misty Cloud Pavilion for fun. He treats everyone equally, and is always cultivating.'

'No wonder. No wonder some cultivators are so powerful that it feels otherworldly. My birth cannot compare with the prince, yet I only wanted to enjoy life. Prince is so diligent.' Yan Yu thought.

"Hu."

Xue Ying extended his right hand. A spear appeared in it. It was placed horizontally on his legs. Being a secret treasure weapon, just the murderous aura inherent within the spearhead made the heart of Yan Yu stopped momentarily.

"Weng!"

An unseen ripple extended out from this spear body. It was like throwing a piece of rock into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread outwards.

The ripples spread out from the spear body were subtle. They easily permeated in the surrounding void. The void was under the total control of Xue Ying. As the distant Tian Yi Zhi, Black Stream Cloud Wolves and personal guards rushed over–Tian Yi Zhi was even an expert at the God Yuan Palace fifth level strength, he could teleport and had a keen perception on the void, yet he did not discover the surrounding void being controlled by someone.

Xue Ying sat there cross-legged. It felt like a spider controlling the spiderweb. All void near Xue Ying was under his control, and sections of void around him started distorting and changing.

The distortions and transformations were all subtle.

Even if it occurred so close to the cultivator, it was hard for him to perceive it unless his body interacted with the web.

"Hua hua hua~"

Countless rain droplets began moving gracefully.

Many tiny distorted spatial pockets transferred the rain droplets into an area several kilometers away, before moving them to another location. The water droplets were teleported away because of the distortion of the void. Furthermore, as the rain droplets were teleported, a seamless connection remained between them as if it was still raining.

"Prince." Tian Yi Zhi, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and the nine personal guards arrived by the side of the pavilion. Xue Ying controlled the void to open a path for them, which as a result, Tian Yi Zhi and the others did not feel any difference despite the web being so close.

Such minute control was something even other Primal Chaos giants would feel startled about.

Xue Ying continued drinking his wine.

At the same time, he was controlling the void distortions. The more he commanded it, the more satisfied he got: 'I am so glad that I bought this spear.'

During the past five million years…

Xue Ying was also single-mindedly cultivating. Because the Dao of Void in the two origin worlds was relatively similar, speaking from the laws and profound mysteries system, Xue Ying's Dao of Void had already reached the Primal Chaos realm not too long ago! As for the bloodline breakthrough, Xue Ying had even entered the Primal Chaos realm at an earlier period. It was only that such speed would shock the entire world. Even a genius should cultivate with speed classified under an 'ordinary category'.

Even though Xue Ying was stuck at the Unity realm on the surface, his research and comprehension of the Void did not stop. Over time as his realm deepened, he began researching on this spear.

Exploring the spear body of this spear was just like observing a black maelstrom stair that was distorted. It continued deeper and deeper, and every level was an intersection of different kinds of the void. Ever since Xue Ying started cultivating this Dao, he realized that his body was like the core of this maelstrom, and it was possible for him to influence the surrounding crisscrossing void.

And that was the technique which this spear body had.

Even though the spearhead was lacking, causing part of the profound mysteries inherent within this secret treasure to be lost, it was sufficient for Xue Ying.

With his solid experience, he was able to comprehend some domain control technique. Once he had done so, the technique was qualified to be a 'God Yuan Palace seventh level technique'. More importantly, if Xue Ying relied on the spear body to employ this technique, even though he had not comprehended many of the profound mysteries, making it taxing for him to use the technique, Xue Ying's strength would nevertheless explode and allow the technique to reach 'God Yuan Palace eighth level'.

A domain technique at the eighth level.

'More importantly, the technique inherent within this spear body is at the Cosmos God level. Right now, I have merely understood a piece of it.' Xue Ying felt satisfied because the void technique inherent within this spear body was of a different direction with the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

'It's a pity I lack the spearhead, making it much harder for me to comprehend this technique.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

Within the Void God Pagoda, he could utilize the wild side of this domain all he wanted.

But now that he was within the pavilion by the lake, Xue Ying was only employing the most subtle side of this domain–stealthily permeating into his surroundings.

'The Realm Heart Great Land has a foundation much stronger than that of the primal chaos void. Over there, the Dao of Void only had Monarch Nine Cloud, Void Primogenitor and the mysterious Myriad Realm Tavern Master's lineage that are considered as formidable. Yet in the Realm Heart Great Land, in my Southern Cloud Nation, I'd interacted with two horrifying techniques left behind by experts.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

One was created by the Southern Cloud King, and the other was a spear refined by an expert of the Dao of Void.

'Keep.'

Xue Ying's heart moved.

The domain completely dissipated. All the rain remained gracefully falling just like before, and the nearby Tian Yi Zhi, the female servant Yan Yu, and all the protectors did not discover anything amiss at all.

Xue Ying was not worried about being discovered. Even Marquis Ardent Fire had to rely on his own law domain to perceive this technique. Otherwise, with the control Marquis Ardent Fire had of the void, it was impossible for him to sense it from such a considerable distance. Strictly speaking, Xue Ying was no longer weaker than the great expert Marquis Ardent Fire.

Only when both parties fought would the victor be decided.

Chapter 1015: Entering the Misty Cloud Pavilion for the First Time

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

'It has been five million years. I can now publicize the fact that I have reached the God Yuan Palace fifth level strength. By relying on this, I could visit the Southern Cloud Capital and acquire the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".' Xue Ying thought.

Xue Ying still desired the complete version of the absolute art that could allow him to exert eighth level strength at Unity realm and tenth level strength at Primal Chaos realm.

To others, it was a waste even acquiring this book since they could not even reach the ninth level strength at Primal Chaos realm.

But Xue Ying was different. He had to obtain this absolute art that could allow him to unleash the tenth level strength at Primal Chaos realm! This absolute art was something he admitted could not be created when he was at the Primal Chaos realm. Actually, an absolute art that could unleash a tenth level strength was something the majority of Cosmos Gods could not create. Those who could produce it were few and far between even within the Realm Heart Great Land.

"My son!" A passionate shout was heard.

Xue Ying turned over. It was both Ying Shan Lie Hu and Rong Xing Lan who came together. Ying Shan Lie Hu was enthusiastically shouting out at this moment.

Even though he did not have any favorable impression towards this father of his, Xue Ying still respected this Ying Shan Lie Hu. During the past five million years, Ying Shan Lie Hu had to coax Rong Xing Lan and make her happy. Even if he was deliberately disguising it, coaxing the other party for five million years could mean that it had possibly become genuine. At least Rong Xing Lan's feelings for her husband had become much deeper.

"Father, mother." Xue Ying stood up.

"My son is cultivating too bitterly. Your father I felt heartache seeing that." Ying Shan Lie Hu sighed. These words of his came from his heart. Currently, was there someone who did not regard him, Ying Shan Lie Hu highly? Why? Obviously, it was because he had this talented son who would undoubtedly become a Conferred Marquis when he reached the Primal Chaos realm! Ying Shan Lie Hu felt proud for his son too.

Thinking about how he was enjoying himself and looking at how frequent his son entered closed-door cultivation, Ying Shan Lie Hu felt heartache for his son. His son was really staking almost all his time on cultivation.

"Xue Ying, what your father said is right. You should go out more frequently. Don't always stay in your room and cultivate." Rong Xing Lan added. She was genuinely worried about her son.

It had been five million years.

Her son had not liked a single girl!

That was not normal! Did he like a guy? That wasn't true either!

"Alright alright, let's go out and have a walk. I'll definitely be doing so." Xue Ying said. He was indeed going out for a walk, and would be visiting the biggest city in Southern Cloud Nation that was far away–the capital! He wanted to seek for the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

"You better not lie. Previously, you said that as well, yet in the end? You turned and went back cultivating again." Rong Xing Lan said, "Lie Hu, you should bring Xue Ying out and have a walk."

"Alright." Ying Shan Lie Hu immediately nodded.

Ever since his son reached the Unity realm, his name had spread across the entire Southern Cloud Nation. Many aristocratic clans within the Southern Cloud Nation knew that the Ying Shan Clan had another talented young fellow. But after breaking through to the Unity realm, Xue Ying no longer left his residence. If he were to bring his son with him to the streets, it would surely put the spotlight on him!

And Ying Shan Lie Hu was someone who liked the attention.

Very soon, Ying Shan Lie Hu brought Xue Ying out of the residence. They even sat on Ying Shan Lie Hu's very 'extravagant' carriage. Xue Ying's carriage was not as frivolous. Ying Shan Lie Hu was indeed an overbearing person, and that carriage of his was so dazzling that it made many cultivators on the street look away in fear of it. There were even eight dragon beasts in total.

"Father, you changed this carriage of yours?" Xue Ying boarded the carriage with Ying Shan Lie Hu sitting beside him.

The carriage was huge. There was ample space for two to sit. Tian Yi Zhi, the nine personal guards, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, the female attendant Yan Yu as well as Ying Shan Lie Hu and his servants and protectors were all on the carriage.

"Haha, my son is none other than the great Ying Shan Xue Ying. How could I stick to an ordinary carriage?" Ying Shan Lie Hu delightfully winked at Xue Ying, "I even owed quite a few cosmos crystals after purchasing this carriage. But it is fine. I can slowly return them and am not in a rush. Naturally, if my son is willing to help me pay, then it'll be all for the better."

Xue Ying caressed the lying Black Stream Cloud Wolves and no longer looked at his father.

Ying Shan Lie Hu did not mind after seeing that. He laughed voraciously: "Go go, let us set off for Misty Cloud Pavilion!"

"Hou~"

The eight dragon beasts roared. The luxurious carriage arced through the sky and headed towards the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

"The Misty Cloud Pavilion?" Xue Ying was startled. Those beside him–Tian Yi Zhi, the female servant Yan Yu and other personal guards could not help but turn to Ying Shan Lie Hu.

He was bringing his son to roam the Misty Cloud Pavilion?

"Just to broaden your experience." Ying Shan Lie Hu answered, "My son hasn't been there before right? That is the biggest entertainment ground in the Ardent Fire City. And my son has cultivated for five million years, so it is time for you to experience the world."

Xue Ying smiled and no longer responded.

"Hu…"

"Prince Xue Ying?"

"The Black Stream Cloud Wolves? It must be Prince Xue Ying up there?"

"That lucky Ying Shan Lie Hu is bringing Prince Xue Ying out?"

Everywhere they passed through would incite discussions to start.

Some who were knowledgeable could still recognize Xue Ying.

Hearing the ongoing discussions, Ying Shan Lie Hu began smiling even more widely. This was fame. He was indeed at the center of attention.

Very soon, they arrived at the Misty Cloud Pavilion.

"Sir Lie Hu." The servants within the Misty Cloud Pavilion welcomed Ying Shan Lie Hu with great familiarity. At the next moment, they saw the white-robed handsome young man seated beside Ying Shan Lie Hu.

That handsome young man was as gentle as jade, though when they saw him, they could not help but feel their hearts tremble.

"Prince Xue Ying?" They were all stunned.

"Prince Xue Ying is here!"

"Quick quick! Prince Xue Ying has come!"

The news soon spread within the entire Misty Cloud Pavilion. It was a total uproar. This was an amazingly huge affair. Even though the Misty Cloud Pavilion was extraordinary, what status did the current 'Prince Xue Ying' have? He was someone certain of becoming a Conferred Marquis and was ranked top three in terms of status across the entire Ardent Fire City! The Southern Cloud Sacred Palace Hall Master 'Chun Yu Wei Yi' did not even dare to slight him. After all, Chun Yu Wei Yi was merely someone relying on his clan and was still at the Unity realm. Who would dare to move slowly when facing against someone who would surely become a Conferred Marquis?

"This one has been waiting for thousands and thousands of years that even my eyes are starting to get tired. Regardless, this one has finally seen Prince Xue Ying." The plump Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng flew over like wind. He was very enthusiastic in welcoming the other party.

"Chun Yu Feng, today, my son has come over, so the expense will be all on you!" Ying Shan Lie Hu said with a loud voice.

"Rest assured, everything will be on me." Chun Yu Feng smiled so much that the flesh hanging over his jaw was shaking.

Xue Ying responded with a few sentences and a smile.

The group of people was brought personally by Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng into a huge hall. This hall was arranged by Chun Yu Feng himself. Many top-graded beauties that were enchanting, talented and were never tainted by a male began entering the hall to dance and sing.

"Follow me. I'll definitely not mistreat you. Wait, hold this first."

Within that huge hall, there were already many aristocratic clan disciples within. One of the disciples was currently throwing a bag of cosmos crystals to an armored girl in front. That cold girl took over that bag of cosmos crystals and began feeling relatively delighted in her heart. She had finally succeeded in becoming a guest under an aristocratic clan disciple. In the future, her days would be much better, and her children would have resources to cultivate.

"Congratulations, prince. You have once again received another formidable female guest." The beauties beside praised him.

"Haha…" This aristocratic clan disciple was laughing out loud. Suddenly, he looked to the distant with shock.

At the entrance to the hall, Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng was currently enthusiastically guiding the way for several guests, and Ying Shan Lie Hu was moving like a big boss. Behind Ying Shan Lie Hu was a handsome white-robed young man with two Black Stream Cloud Wolves and a gray-robed old man coldly following.

"Prince Xue Ying?"

This aristocratic clan disciple felt his heart thumping. He even became reserved with his seating posture.

"Everyone be careful. Don't offend that white-robed young man." This aristocratic clan disciple muttered an order to his servants and protectors. If his subordinates offended that man, he would definitely be doomed.

"Master, who is he?" One of the pampered female attendants asked with a soft voice.

The female guest was curious too because she discovered many of the aristocratic clan disciples who were unbridled in the past had become quite reserved at this moment.

"That is Prince Xue Ying. You heard of him before right? He is different from us. We aristocratic clan disciples are only idling our lives away, yet he is someone who will become a Conferred Marquis."

"Prince Xue Ying?"

The female attendants, servants and that female guest immediately understood. That handsome young man was the legendary Prince Xue Ying.

Under Chun Yu Feng's escort, and the invite of several other aristocratic clan disciples with slightly higher statuses, Xue Ying and his father finally took the central position of the entire hall.

Misty Cloud Pavilion. Within a residence.

The plump male Qian Gan Xue had always been staying here. Currently, his most important mission was to assassinate that Prince Xue Ying. If Prince Xue Ying does not come out, he could only wait. After waiting for five million years, he was starting to feel at a loss. How long would this Prince Xue Ying take before he finally exits? Unless he planned on cultivating all the way?

"Sir, Prince Xue Ying is currently here at the Misty Cloud Pavilion!"

There was a subordinate transmitting the news to him at that instant.

"What!?"

Qian Gan Xue was hugely astonished.

He came out and was even here at the Misty Cloud Pavilion?

"I must quickly act!" Qian gan Xue felt his heart racing. Thoughts began flashing through his mind. Qian Gan Xue knew this opportunity was one he must grab hold of. Otherwise, who knew when this Prince Xue Ying might come out again after returning to his residence?

"I must not panic. This assassination must succeed." Qian Gan Xue's gaze turned cold. If he failed, he would have a horrible death.

Hence, even if he were more anxious, he had to calm himself down and think things through. He must plan for all contingencies.

Fortunately, he had amply prepared for this. After pondering for a moment, he immediately began giving down the orders and mobilized his subordinates to act!

Chapter 1016: The Assassination outside Misty Cloud Pavilion

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Within a two-story private pavilion slightly closer to the Misty Cloud Pavilion, there was a table with wine and food placed on it. Currently, there was only Qian Gan Xue seated here.

His plump body sat on a stool. It was rare that he was not accompanied by any beauty or female servant. As he drank, he would look outside the window absentmindedly. His gaze was cast in the direction of the distant Misty Cloud Pavilion. He was clear how important the assassination plan this time was, at least for him since his life was at stake! Failure was not an option.

'I only have a single chance. If I fail, the entire Ying Shan Clan will be infuriated, and it is impossible for me to find a second chance. My master will no longer give me another opportunity either.' Qian Gan Xue thought.

"Zhi ya."

The door to the private room was pushed open. A slim teenager entered. This thin teenager seemed to give off a Unity realm aura. He was carrying a short blade to which he casually waved it in the air.

The eyes of Qian Gan Xue brightened when he saw the person. He immediately stood up and began fawning on the other party: "Brother Nian!"

"Mn." The teenager found a random place to sit, "Are we starting the operation soon? I have stayed here in the Ardent Fire City for five million years ever since I accepted this mission of yours."

"It has been tough on Brother Nian. Right now, that child is within the Misty Cloud Pavilion." Qian Gan Xue said, "Chun Yu Feng, Ying Shan Lie Hu and the rest are all accompanying that child right now. In a while when he exits, that'll be the time we act."

The surrounding location was isolated from the external world. It was impossible for others to spy on this conversation.

The thin teenager nodded: "Rest assured. By then, I'll simply kill off that one called Ying Shan Xue Ying."

"Brother Nian, this matter relates to the life of this little brother, so everything will have to depend on Brother Nian." Qian Gan Xue could not help but blurt out.

"Hmph, I do not care about your life. It is fine as long as you remember to pay me another 12 million cosmos crystals after the operation." The thin teenager said.

Qian Gan Xue nodded: "Definitely."

This time, the crux of his plan lay in this terrifying assassin 'Nian Jiu' whom he hired from the Black Devil Great Lake Nian Jiu. He had to pay a total of eight million cosmos crystals when he first employed the other party. If the assassination failed, the matter would end as it is. If the mission succeeded, he would have to fork out another 12 million cosmos crystals! In other words, it cost a total of 20 million cosmos crystals just to hire this single person if the assassination succeeded.

Yet in reality, Qian Gan Xue only had a total of 15 million cosmos crystals with him.

For the sake of this assassination plan.

He had spent finished all cosmos crystals he had with him which he earned as payment for goods. Everything was spent clean just by spending eight million cosmos crystals on hiring the assassin and on other preparations! Even some of his earnings had been used. If the mission succeeded, he still had to save more over a period to get back what he used. He even had to borrow more cosmos crystals from the other fellows within the sect of his master.

'As long as this assassination plan succeeds, everything will be worth it. Master might even greatly bestow me with more treasures in his delight.' Qian Gan Xue thought.

Time passed.

Two hours, four hours.

The sky started darkening.

Qian Gan Xue accompanied Nian Jiu to drink. The two of them did not really speak during this period.

"Mn?" Nian Jiu looked outside.

'He is out.' Qian Gan Xue felt his body shivering. There was a crowd of people coming out from the Misty Cloud Pavilion, of which most of them were escorting that white-robed handsome young man.

"He is truly a handsome young fellow, though there is no point mentioning about his strength. I can simply stomp him to death. I am only afraid of Marquis Ardent Fire who should have prepared many methods to protect him. It's a pity that he'll die for certain when I act." Nian Jiu took a step before arriving on the streets outside the window. He walked on the streets casually, becoming one of the ordinary members amidst the cultivators.

Qian Gan Xue held his breath. He was really nervous.

The moment that would determine his fate had arrived!

"Everything has been prepared. The moment he arrives at the checkpoint, act directly." Qian Gan Xue transmitted.

The eight dragon beasts pulled along the carriage across the sky. Ying Shan Lie Hu brought along his son on his carriage with great delight and grandeur. As for Tian Yi Zhi, the female servant Yan Yu and others, they were standing by the side. Even more protectors and attendants were waiting around the place.

The carriage was moving at a rapid pace.

"My son, the Misty Cloud Pavilion is unlike others right? Haha, this is also the first time bringing you here. There are many more tastes which I have yet to bring you over to try." Ying Shan Lie Hu giggled, "In the future, my son can also come here yourself. We are cultivators! We should experience all kinds of things including the fairer sex! This is also cultivating the heart."

"Sir Lie Hu." Tian Yi Zhi said gravely from the side.

Ying Shan Lie Hu was slightly startled. He awkwardly responded to Tian Yi Zhi: "Elder Tian, I am merely saying it. Those are just words. But it isn't wrong to say that one could temper one's heart in the world of mortals." Ying Shan Lie Hu immediately felt regretful after that and wanted to hit his mouth. Because the words he mentioned would likely be reported to Grandpa Marquis by Tian Yi Zhi.

Xue Ying merely listened from the side. He remained nonchalant.

Suddenly, he glanced to a distant pavilion with slight shock. Ever since he started comprehending the profound mysteries from that spear body and came up with the domain technique, his grasp of the void became really amazing. Even during regular occasions, everything within this region would be within his perception. Xue Ying discovered someone familiar within.

'Qian Gan Xue?' Xue Ying saw that plump male seated by the window of that pavilion. The stout male was also looking in his direction. When Xue Ying looked over, Qian Gan Xue even revealed a grin.

"Hmph." Xue Ying no longer cared about him.

Because of the matter regarding the female attendant Yan Yu, he had ordered someone to investigate the other party before and knew this Qian Gan Xue was someone who conducted shameful businesses. Xue Ying would definitely disregard such character.

Suddenly–

"Weng."

The surrounding void shook. The vast region was being suppressed.

"Not good." Tian Yi Zhi felt astonished. He immediately transmitted to everyone, "Be careful. The surrounding void is being suppressed. We can't teleport away."

"What!" Ying Shan Lie Hu began panicking at that moment.

"Xiu!""Xiu!"

Two streams of light immediately shot out from the crowd of cultivators located down the streets. Tian Yi Zhi and the nine personal guards began condensing silver armor over their bodies with great familiarity. The light of the armor fluctuated, causing a silver glow to flash out. It turned into an enormous silver sphere that covered the carriage where Xue Ying was at. No matter what technique the assassins threw–the two streams of light or the diffusing fog of poison, Tian Yi Zhi and the others were resisting against them.

"Hong~"

"Break!"

The void shook.

"Assassination? Someone actually dared to assassinate my son?" Ying Shan Lie Hu lost color on his face. He was even panicking at that moment. Even though he had protectors, they were far inferior to those protecting Xue Ying.

"Father, father, assassins are trying to kill Xue Ying!" It was rare for Ying Shan Lie Hu to contact Marquis Ardent Fire personally. During ordinary occasions, he would not dare to disturb Marquis Ardent Fire. Nevertheless, Marquis Ardent Fire had already obtained the transmission from Tian Yi Zhi. Even though he was much shocked, the distance here from the Marquisdom was far, Even if he could teleport, there was a limit to the distance he could do so, and rushing over would take the time taken to brew a cup of tea.

Even if he rushed over to the vicinity, teleportation had been locked down in the surrounding, forcing him to fly over. Hence, it would be hard for him to save them.

"What audacity!"

A furious roar reverberated in the world.

World energy began surging in the place. It rapidly condensed and formed a figure. This was the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire, though he was merely forming it by relying on the World Energy and it would take some time.

"Marquis Ardent Fire, it is pointless for you to send your incarnation over."

A thin teenager flew over and clashed against that huge silvery-white sphere formed by Tian Yi Zhi and the nine personal guards. During the clash, the skinny teenager divided into six bodies. Each of them unleashed a frightening aura that was not any weaker than the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire. Within the blink of an eye, the combat array formed by Tian Yi Zhi and the rest were shattered.

"Prince, be careful!" Tian Yi Zhi anxiously shouted.

"Good!" Not too far away, that plump male 'Qian Gan Xue' who was watching the battle from above the pavilion clenched his fist excitedly. His fingernail had pierced into his flesh, though he did not care about it. He was on cloud nine, "He is indeed Old Devil Nian!"

Chapter 1017: There is actually an Expert?

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"It is Nian Jiu?" The currently condensing incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire trembled. He could not help but grit his teeth, "Who is so daring to oppose my Ying Shan Clan?"

Assassinating the outstanding talent Prince Xue Ying was equivalent to slapping the Ying Shan Clan on the face!

The Ying Shan Clan would certainly not let things rest!

Under normal circumstances, there were not many organizations that dared to be so foolish. Nevertheless, an assassination still happened today, and there was even this devil called Nian Jiu.

Nian Jiu was originally a nine-headed venomous snake that was born as a native from the Black Devil Great Lake. As he began training in ancient cultivation, Nian Jiu discovered that he had talent in forming avatars, and could produce nine in total! As long as one survived, the other eight avatars could easily be refined back over time. Hence, by relying on this talent, Nian Jiu was not afraid of risking his life as an assassin.

After all, there were not many assassins who would kill without paying heed to one's own life. Either they were death warriors, or they were experts like Nian Jiu who had unique techniques.

"Protect the prince!"

The two Black Stream Cloud Wolves turned into humans. Furthermore, a total of 98 black-armored soldiers appeared in the surrounding too. These two Black Stream Cloud Wolves–one was in black armor, and the other with a dark gold armor forming over his body. They totaled a hundred and soon established an enormous combat formation. "Hong long long~"

Black clouds formed and wrapped around the carriage. And these hundred soldiers were scattered amidst the black darkness. Their armor grew brighter, and soon, this energy became interconnected and formed an entity.

"You dare to assassinate Prince Xue Ying? What gall!" The leading dark-gold-armored captain revealed a pair of sharp-clawed weapons. He angrily roared; his voice reverberated through the world.

"Ardent Fire Army Hidden Guards? Haha, who would have thought that one of the three Hidden Guards from the Ardent Fire Army would be protecting this child." The six thin teenagers laughed. They continued advancing, "Let me see how formidable all of you are."

"Kill!"

The dark-gold-armored captain shouted. The rolling black cloud congealed into an enormous four-hooved mutated beast. The captain acted as the claws of this beast, and every attack was struck out frantically.

"What? There is actually a team of Ardent Fire Army Hidden Guards keeping close to that Ying Shan Xue Ying all the while?" Qian Gan Xue who was watching the battle from the distant pavilion turned pale after seeing that, "He is honestly too biased to keep a group of Hidden Guards in the Eden Treasure just to protect that child."

This was indeed the worst situation ever.

A team of Hidden Guards.

The captain of the Hidden Guards was at God Yuan Palace fifth level strength. The other members were all at the Unity realm too. The complete combat array when they worked together would allow them to erupt with a God Yuan Palace seventh level strength–that was sufficient for them to fight against a Primal Chaos giant.

Ying Shan Lie Hu felt his legs turning soft. He was still consoling Xue Ying who sat beside him: "My son, don't worry too much. They can't harm you at all."

The female attendant Yan Yu was also clenching her fist by the side. She was prepared to protect her prince with her life.

In reality, they were only True Gods and facing against a battle at this level, they were entirely useless.

Actually.

No matter who it was, the assassin Old Devil Nian Jiu, the team led by the Black Stream Cloud Wolf captain, Tian Yi Zhi or even Marquis Ardent Fire and the master of that devil who was being kept aware of the proceedings of this assassination were concerned about the whole affair. They felt their hearts tightening as things unfold.

Only one person! He might be nervous on the surface, yet he remained remarkably calm inside.

That was Xue Ying.

'Assassination?' Xue Ying sat on the carriage watching the battle, 'Oh, this assassin could form six avatars. But he is merely at the Unity realm yet he could form avatars already? It should not be an avatar technique belonging to the void lineage. Thus, it must be an ancient cultivation talent.'

'But he is quite astounding. Each of the avatars seems to contain power at the God Yuan Palace sixth level. The six avatars even have a combined technique that enabled them to erupt with power at the God Yuan Palace seventh level.'

'Wuu…'

'So it seems the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves of mine, one is the captain of the Hidden Guards and the other an ordinary Hidden Guard? There are also 98 other Hidden Guards that remain in the Eden Treasure waiting for orders? It seems Marquis Ardent Fire really favor me a lot.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly, 'I always thought Elder Tian and the others are my main protectors. Who would have thought that there are guards in the light just as guards are hiding in the dark? The nine personal guards led by Elder Tian seems to unleash strength at the God Yuan Palace sixth level. And the entire team of Hidden Guards is much stronger than them.'

One guarding him in the light and the other defending him in the dark.

Xue Ying continued watching the battle between the Hidden Guards with Old Devil Nian Jiu. Both parties were fighting extremely frantically. Old Devil Nian Jiu could not break through for a moment too: 'It seems that the techniques in the Realm Heart Great Land are more profound than those in the primal chaos void. Just this combat array is much more efficient.'

In the primal chaos void, a fifth level Unity expert working together with 99 other Unity experts could not unleash power at the seventh level.

But it was possible here on the Realm Heart Great Land. These combat formation techniques seemed to be even more profound than the innate combat arrays utilized by the Destruction Devils.

"Qian Gan Xue, who would have thought that there is a team of Hidden Guards protecting that child constantly. I can't break through it, so this mission will likely end up as a failure." Nian Jiu communicated to Qian Gan Xue.

"No!"

The eyes of Qian Gan Xue turned red.

He mobilized the death warriors under his master, yet in reality, he did not mind paying a greater price to find Old Devil Nian Jiu and invited him to act. This was his most crucial trump card, yet Old Devil Nian Jiu who could unleash a power at the seventh level, could still not break through the defenses of the other party.

'This Old Devil Nian Jiu is too cowardly. Hearsay he has nine avatars in total, yet he only uses six avatars at most for each assassination. The other three avatars are hidden at some unknown places.' The eyes of Qian Gan Xue were brimming with madness.

'I couldn't care less.'

'If I fail, I'll have to die.'

'Time to stake it all.'

Even though most of Qian Gan Xue's hope had been placed on the powerful Old Devil Nian Jiu, he would still die if the mission ended up as a failure. Hence, he had prepared another killing move–one which he spent over two million years in search of a Primal Chaos giant to help him refine a poisonous fluid. For the sake of this poisonous fluid, he spent a total of six million cosmos crystals. One must know some ordinary secret treasure weapons cost merely ten million cosmos crystals.

Spending this massive amount of cosmos crystals, there were almost no existences at the Unity realm who could survive from it!

"Old Devil Nian Jiu, I have another method, though it might affect you. But since you have your avatars, it isn't much." Qian Gan Xue took out a black bamboo flute and lightly blew in it.

"Weng–"

An unseen sound ripple spread in the direction of Xue Ying.

This sound ripple was of a strange insipid green color. This poisonous fluid could be seen even with the naked eyes. He had no choice. If he wanted to acquire a poison that was sufficiently strong and could not be perceived at all, that paltry amount of cosmos crystals which he prepared was not enough.

"What?" The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire that had just formed successfully and was teaming up with the hidden guards against Old Devil Nian Jiu saw that strand of an insipid green sound ripple of poisonous fluid coming over. His expression could not help but change.

The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire did not have any treasures or weapons. It was only at the God Yuan sixth level strength and could barely fight against an avatar of Old Devil Nian Jiu. It could not change the overall situation.

"Poisonous fluid?" Old Devil Nian Jiu revealed a joyous look after seeing that.

"Not good." The Hidden Guards were startled by this. They could feel a considerable threat from this rapidly incoming insipid green sound ripple. If they were contacted by this poisonous fluid, they would die unquestionably.

"Hong~""Pu~"

The surroundings boomed. The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire and the Hidden Guards were spreading part of their concentration resisting against that poisonous fluid. Nevertheless, they could not isolate it at all. The poisonous fluid continued unhindered. After all, this was a poisonous fluid that was worth six million cosmos crystals.

"What should we do?"

The sound ripple poisonous fluid was moving too quickly. They could not teleport either. Unless they escaped and leave the prince alone?

"Hahaha…" Old Devil Nian Jiu wantonly struck against the Hidden Guards. He laughed madly. From his viewpoint, without the obstruction from this Hidden Guard team, that Prince Xue Ying who was incomparably weak and small would die easily to him.

'What should I do? What should I do?' The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was extremely anxious. He had already contacted Old Mother Ying Shan, yet the other party could not arrive in this short time and had to find a Primal Chaos giant for help to teleport her through an ultra-long distance. All sort of unforeseen circumstances would require time to solve. Nevertheless, battles at this level would be over within the blink of an eye.

"Stake everything and try to delay for more time. Once we have more time, there will be more hope." The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire transmitted the order to the Hidden Guards.

"Yes." All the Hidden Guards, some were willing, and others were not, yet they still acknowledged the orders.

They did not dare to disobey the orders of Grandpa Marquis.

They had to use their lives and fight against this strange poisonous fluid, and to try and delay for as much time as possible!

On the carriage, both Ying Shan Lie Hu and the female attendant Yan Yu were slightly hoodwinked. They did not understand the overall situation and only knew that the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was fighting together with the Hidden Guards. The Hidden Guards seemed mad, and there was a sort of dismal atmosphere spreading.

Xue Ying was the only calm person amongst them. He looked into the distance and saw Qian Gan Xue who blew that black bamboo flute.

'This poisonous fluid seems interesting. It seems its power is quite great, and ordinary attacks can't disperse it at all.' Xue Ying thought. A spear appeared in his hand. It was that secret treasure weapon.

Following that, an unseen ripple spread out.

This ripple was minute and permeated everywhere.

'Go.'

All spaces where the insipid green sound ripple of poisonous fluid existed in began distorting. They were clearly moving in the direction of Xue Ying, yet in the blink of an eye, they flew over to where Qian Gan Xue was.

"What!" Qian Gan Xue was startled as he watched at the insipid green poisonous fluid appearing right in front of him. This poisonous fluid did not distinguish between enemies and allies. He could only control the direction using the flute.

"Hu."

Under the influence of the poisonous fluid, Qian Gan Xue's body was rapidly corroded. He turned into a puddle of green water and died right at that moment.

The poisonous fluid might have spread across the surrounding, yet it was fortunate nobody was around. Those cultivators, guests, and attendants had long run far away. After all, with battles of this level happening, all cultivators would run as far as possible. They would not even feel safe despite fleeing several hundred thousand kilometers away.

In an area quite far away on a broad street, a black-robed man was watching the proceedings of the mission. He was the incarnation of the master of that devil. By relying on a treasure, he was able to conceal his aura and stay for long periods within the Ardent Fire City. Given his great hatred for Marquis Ardent Fire, he had long planned for his incarnation to remain here in search of opportunities to deal against Marquis Ardent Fire.

'It seems this Qian Gan Xue is quite resourceful that he knows to prepare this poisonous fluid.' The edges of that black-robed man's mouth lifted. But closely following that, his expression changed.

That insipid green sound ripple of poisonous fluid had strangely turned to where Qian Gan Xue was, killing him directly.

The black-robed man could not even feel any abnormalities of the space in the surrounding.

'There is actually another expert protecting that Prince Xue Ying? Isn't the Ying Shan Clan spending too much effort trying to protect him?' The black-robed man could not help but grit his teeth after seeing this.

Chapter 1018: Madness

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The black-robed devil master gritted his teeth. His eyes were ice-cold. Seeing how anxious the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was, he was sure the other party would definitely be deranged if they succeeded in killing that young child.

'Someone who is able to dissolve the poisonous fluid secretly and protect Ying Shan Xue Ying? This expert is formidable. Or could it be someone who knows how to curb this poisonous fluid?' Many thoughts flashed through the mind of the black-robed devil master, 'I should go according to the initial plan first.'

"Ah Da, move out."

"Yes."

The black-robed devil master gave his orders behind the scene.

He coldly looked to the distance. Even though he gave Qian Gan Xue the mission to plan, he had never placed all hopes on Qian Gan Xue before. He even personally prepared a final trump card for this mission.

'Let me see who exactly is the one protecting him.' The black-robed devil master gave a cold chuckle, 'It is impossible for Marquis Ardent Fire's true body to reach in time. Let me see who else is there in Ardent Fire City that could obstruct my magic servant?'

And in the carriage floating in midair, Ying Shan Lie Hu was trembling slightly. Tian Yi Zhi who retreated to the side even transmitted a message to Xue Ying in anxiety: "Prince, this poisonous fluid is very frightening. If the Hidden Guards could not resist against the poison, I'll immediately keep you into my Eden Treasure and try escaping from the assassins. I'll try my best to escape for as long as I could, and hopefully, Old Mother Ying Shan would have dispatched an expert over. In a while, you must not resist–"

As he was transmitting his voice, Tian Yi Zhi suddenly looked with shock into the distance.

Not just him.

All the Hidden Guards and protectors had come to a realization that they would be going all out at the risk of their lives for their prince! Even though they had their own loved ones whom they were concerned of, and thus did not wish to die, they chose to join Marquis Ardent Fire ultimately and had obtained great support in terms of resources from the Marquis! Encountering such dangerous situations was a rare thing for them too.

Hence, when the time came, they had to stand out! Those who dared run would definitely face the wrath of the Ying Shan Clan,

The atmosphere on the battlefield soon turned dismal and exasperated at the same time. Every one gritted their teeth as they watched the insipid green sound ripple of poisonous fluid fly rapidly over.

"Come on!"

"Let us fight with our lives!"

"My obedient daughter, I no longer will be able to accompany you any longer." These Hidden Guards were fighting with Old Devil Nian Jiu while paying close notice to the poisonous fluid at the same time. Nevertheless, the poisonous fluid suddenly appeared by the side of Qian Gan Xue, causing Qian Gan Xue to die instantaneously.

"This, this…"

"Why would it…"

All present who just escaped from the clutches of death was soon filled with ecstasy and disbelief.

The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was also looking at the scene with disbelief. As Xue Ying controlled the minute spatial distortions merely over at the regions where the poisonous fluid existed at and not over at the side where the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was, the other party did not discover anything strange.

"Hahaha, my son, an expert is actually protecting you in the dark! I never knew so many experts exist in my Ying Shan Clan!" Ying Shan Lie Hu shouted in glee after seeing that.

"Yes, another mysterious expert is protecting us!" Tian Yi Zhi was feeling excited too.

"We have an expert behind our backs!" All Hidden Guards and protectors present felt their fighting spirit reignite.

Xue Ying also revealed a surprised look: "Such a formidable expert. I wonder who he is."

No other choice.

Someone who was only five million years old yet could display strength at the God Yuan Palace eighth level? After all, just that domain technique had reached the eighth level. This completely transcended beyond the category of 'genius'. If this was revealed, Xue Ying was worried it might attract the attention of some horrifying old fellows in the Realm Heart Great Land. Xue Ying suspected that he was not the only one who reincarnated in this place.

Thus, it was better to be prudent.

This distorted void technique was like a passageway. Space was originally straight. Xue Ying merely distorted this passage and linked it to another passage. As the poisonous fluid entered the passage, it naturally went according to the newly bent passage into the interconnected passage.

The same logic.

Since the surrounding void was distorted by Xue Ying, proceeding forward from here would naturally lead the traveler into another location. It might seem like teleportation, yet in reality, this was entirely different! Teleportation relied on the transmission of spatial fluctuations. And this was terraforming the structure of space. This technique was extremely formidable. Xue Ying might have just learned it, yet it was already a move at the Primal Chaos level.

Naturally, it was due to his vast experience. Xue Ying had reached the Primal Chaos realm in the Dao of Void in the laws and profound mysteries system. Furthermore, his wisdom was still present. That was why he could comprehend this technique quickly from the incomplete secret treasure weapon, the spear body.

Others might have a difficult time trying to comprehend this technique even if he was an expert that relied on his void bloodline to cultivate to the Primal Chaos realm.

Naturally, Xue Ying did not become arrogant. He only became more respectful of the refiner for this spear body.

'What I comprehended is merely the tip of an iceberg. Furthermore, the spear body is not the complete secret treasure either.' Xue Ying thought, 'I really wonder who the original owner of this spear body is.'

Saying it was slow, though the words spoken in Xue Ying's heart happened in the blink of an eye.

All the protectors in the vicinity including the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire felt delighted. And right at this moment–

"Hong."

A pavilion not too far away exploded. A humanoid being turned into a stream of light as it rushed over. It had kept its previous aura completely, and others could not perceive it at all. But now when it released its aura, it easily formed the strongest presence in the battlefield–even stronger than the combined aura from the Hidden Guards. It was even stronger than Old Devil Nian Jiu when he used his combined technique.

It had a pair of legs that were connected via reverse joints, and two long arms akin to those of apes. It was completely covered in scales and only had a single azure eye.

"Nian Jiu, team up with my magic servant to kill that Prince Xue Ying. Once the matter ends, the remaining 12 million cosmos crystals will be forked out by me." A voice transmission was sent to Old Devil Nian Jiu.

"Hahaha…" Old Devil Nian Jiu was in great joy. Only then did he understand that it was this huge devil behind Qian Gan Xue's back.

"Palace Master, please feel rest assured." Old Devil Nian Jiu's fighting spirit shot to the sky. Being a relatively famous assassin from within the Black Devil Great Lake, he naturally knew this huge devil. Even though the gap between their statuses was huge, he was not afraid of the other party since he had his avatar technique.

"Not good!"

The expression of Marquis Ardent Fire's incarnation shifted considerably. He saw that humanoid creature rushing over.

"Magic Servant Chao Qing?" Marquis Ardent Fire was able to recognize the other party immediately.

"Hong!"

With a frenzied charge by this magic servant, it was able to produce an impact far beyond what Old Devil Nian Jiu could. With it working together with Old Devil Nian Jiu, they had practically blasted apart the combat array formed by the Hidden Guards. The Hidden Guards flew in all directions as they could not hinder them at all.

Not just Old Devil Nian Jiu or the Magic Servant Chao Qing. They did not chase after the Hidden Guards. They only had a single target–that Prince Xue Ying!

"Magic Servant Chao Qing? He is really willing to pay the price." The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was rushing forward in madness.

"Scram!"

The magic servant growled and blast out with its claw. The nearby void exploded, and the incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire shattered apart. At that moment, the eyes of Marquis Ardent Fire's incarnation were still filled with unwillingness and indignance. They were also filled with apology towards 'Xue Ying who could not retaliate at all'.

"Xue Ying ah, it is I, Marquis Ardent Fire, who is useless." Marquis Ardent Fire felt really sorrowful at that moment.

"Hu, hu."

The Magic Servant Chao Qing and six avatars of Old Devil Nian Jiu rushed forward at the same time.

Xue Ying remained calm as he sat on the carriage holding onto the spear: Magic servant? According to the records, it should be the Magic Servant 'Chao Qing' right?'

The accomplishments of puppetry refinements in the Realm Heart Great Land were much more profound.

Magic Servant Chao Qing was a puppet made from fleshy lifeform. It was utmost loyal and devoted to its owner. Being a puppet, if the owner wanted it to die, it would kill itself. Magic Servant Chao Qing was considered one of the lower leveled fleshy life puppet at the Primal Chaos realm. It could already be massed-produced by some powerful Cosmos Gods and were sold outside.

Magic Servant Chao Qing had a God Yuan Palace sixth level strength during regular occasions. When it burnt the accumulated energy inside its body, it would be able to erupt with a God Yuan Palace seventh level strength! But whenever it exploded with its power, it would suffer from significant injuries. After that, it would require to consume some precious treasures to regain its energy. Furthermore, it could even self-detonated with power several times greater!

Because it was ultimately a magic servant, it lacked in terms of the realm, though it specialized more in pure offensive strength. Magic Servant Chao Qing working together with Old Devil Nian Jiu were able to break through the obstruction by the Hidden Guards immediately.

"Prince, you should run first. I'll block them." Tian Yi Zhi and the nine personal guards had already arranged themselves into a combat array.

"My son, my son, quickly escape! I, I'll fight with him too!" Ying Shan Lie Hu's eyes were filled with madness.

Xue Ying was slightly startled as he looked at the appearance of his father.

He never had good feelings for this father of his, yet this moment made him shocked!

But how could he understand the thinking of Ying Shan Lie Hu? Ying Shan Lie Hu was indeed angry and mad at this moment, yet he was the second son of Marquis Ardent Fire. When Marquis Ardent Fire had him, the other party was still weak, resulting in a weaker bloodline in Ying Shan Lie Hu's body. He once tried his best to cultivate, yet it was hard for him to improve any further, resulting in despair. That was why he instead chose to immerse himself in enjoyment.

Marquis Ardent Fire had even arranged a marriage for him which he accepted with a laugh. That wife of his, 'Chan Yu Yan Zhen' had inserted her people right from the beginning to control the resources under his name. How could he not know? But he still accepted it with a laugh.

He was too lazy to care about many things, and would rather enjoy his life. Even though he had many women, and had 300 over children, he never cared about them either. Only with this child that was powerful and had high talent which led him to pay greater attention to. In his heart, he hoped for this child to rise up and dazzle the world.

Over so many years…

Even though he, Ying Shan Lie Hu, led a befuddled existence outside, he understood that many aristocratic clan disciples looked down on him! Because he was too weak and was only a True God. If not for the son of Marquis Ardent Fire, he would remain a commoner.

He had always been looked down by others.

And then the fateful day came. His son Xue Ying was birthed. His birth shocked the entire world! Marquis Ardent Fire and Old Mother Ying Shan immediately paid close attention to Xue Ying.

Countless people were shocked across the entire Ardent Fire City. From henceforth, nobody dared to look at Ying Shan Lie Hu with disrespect. This feeling of respect was something he, Ying Shan Lie Hu, liked. Even though he felt that his son disliked him a lot, and did not even give him any cosmos crystals before, he did not mind.

"I, Ying Shan Lie Hu, has a son called Ying Shan Xue Ying! I can die but my son must not!" Ying Shan Lie Hu seemed crazy at that moment.

Xue Ying sat there.

He looked as Old Devil Nian Jiu and Magic Servant Chao Qing charged over in streams of light.

The gaze of Xue Ying turned cold.

"Hong~"

The surrounding void suddenly distorted. It was a scene of an apocalypse. This distorted void naturally encompassed everyone present in the battlefield, including Magic Servant Chao Qing and the six avatars of Old Devil Nian Jiu.

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Magic Servant Chao Qing and Old Devil Nian Jiu both worked together. They charged forward with full strength mainly because they were on guard against that mysterious expert. After all, they had witnessed personally how the poisonous fluid was directed away.

"Moving so surreptitiously, he might not be as strong as we thought." The two of them were unafraid. One was a magic servant, and the other had six avatars. Was there even a need for them to be afraid? As long as they succeeded in their assassination, losing a few avatars was a minor matter.

"Hong~"

The surrounding void spanning across half a million kilometers became distorted. Magic Servant Chao Qing and Old Devil Nian Jiu both looked around with astonishment. Now the void had been twisted, they could no longer see Prince Xue Ying. Their direction had been disordered.

Old Devil Nian Jiu had six avatars, and their positions were continually changing. As a result, the two of them could no longer utilize their combined techniques.

"Chi chi chi–" Suddenly, cracks started appearing on the six bodies of Old Devil Nian Jiu. He had a look of disbelief.

"I, how did I die? Where is the enemy? Where is he?!"

"Hua."

The six bodies shattered the next moment. Even when Old Devil Nian Jiu died, he did not locate the enemy.

If one said that re-directing the poisonous fluid was the most subtle control Xue Ying had on his domain technique, then now, he was exerting the complete power of the domain technique! This was the first time Xue Ying used this technique to kill an enemy. In the past, he had only been practicing within the Void God Pagoda.

When two parts of space a target occupied were in disorder, it would move the upper half of his body to the north and the bottom half to the south. The conclusion of this–"Pu chi"–the body would be cut into two. In just an instant, the six avatars of Old Devil Nian Jiu had been cut into more than a thousand pieces–the result? All of them perished!

In another location.

Magic Servant Chao Qing also suffered from more than a thousand cuts. But being a puppet with a fleshy body at the Primal Chaos level, despite lacking in the realm, his fleshy body was sufficiently strong. This move of Xue Ying might be an eighth level move, but it was ultimately a domain technique. The distortion of the void could not completely tear Magic Servant Chao Qing's body apart.

"Come out!" Magic Servant Chao Qing let out a furious roar. He could not see the enemy at all.

"His body is quite strong."

Xue Ying who was seated on the carriage with his spear placed on his legs merely wiggled his right finger.

Even though he was still seated there, and was seemingly quite far away from Magic Servant Chao Qing.

Yet this fingernail…

Had somehow appeared in the position of Magic Servant Chao Qing's head. It was clear that Xue Ying had connected the space of his finger attack to where Magic Servant Chao Qing's head was.

"Pu!"

The fingernail pierced through the forehead of the magic servant.

There was no resistance at all. Magic Servant Chao Qing suffered from the full brunt of this finger–it widened its eyes, yet closely following that, its body decomposed. This decomposition was happening on the level of particles, and its existence was utterly wiped out from the world.

A finger had wiped out Magic Servant Chao Qing just like smoke and dust.

Xue Ying remained seated there without even moving at all.

This was the tenth style of "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles"–'Smoke and Dust Scatter'.

Unlike the secret treasure–the spear body–where Xue Ying had to painstakingly comprehend and ponder over before he grasped the domain technique at God Yuan palace seventh level strength, and relying on the spear body to reach the eighth level strength, it was different with the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". This was a well-detailed absolute art. Xue Ying could even comprehend it according to the void bloodline in his body. That was why he had grasped the styles at God Yuan Palace eighth level strength–the ninth and tenth styles.

The tenth style, 'Smoke and Dust Scatter', was widely known for its frightening power. But this technique could easily be broken apart. The ninth style was comparatively more unpredictable and harder to be blocked, though its strength was weaker.

Nevertheless…

By relying on his domain, Xue Ying could ensure that the enemy could not block his move at all. Magic Servant Chao Qing was facing from the full power of the Smoke and Dust Scatter technique. Those two moves were absolutely compatible, allowing the combined technique to reach a strength at the peak of the eighth level! As a result, Magic Servant Chao Qing's entire body was exterminated under a single strike.

"What?"

Booms could be heard from the distorted void. All the Hidden Guards present felt confused. They even saw many pavilions and residences being teleported away–they were floating in midair.

"Hu."

Soon, the dust settled down.

The original space spanning half a million kilometer–including those pavilions and residences that were teleported soon appeared back at their original positions once again.

Some of the cultivators who were teleported away by the void also appeared back where they were originally. They were looking around them in bewilderment.

"Such a formidable expert." Tian Yi Zhi looked excitedly around him. He announced with a loud voice, "Many thanks senior for saving the prince of my clan!"

"Many thanks, senior." The female servant Yan Yu also stated with gratitude.

Ying Shan Lie Hu though was seated on the carriage. He stroked his head and let out a breath of relief. He had suffered from a shock, so much so that his legs had turned wobbly. He then turned to Xue Ying who was beside him: "My son, you can relax. The foundation of my Ying Shan Clan is really deep. They have surely arranged an ultra expert to protect you. How could those assassins succeed?" Ying Shan Lie Hu was both weak and had poor eyesight. He was not clear how horrifying the enemies were this time.

"Many thanks, senior for saving me." Xue Ying said with a loud voice too.

Even though he had merely wriggled his finger just now, and even if others could see through the distorted void, they would only see him seated there. They could not see the small motion of his finger.

And since he acted, Xue Ying would naturally not leave any gaps behind.

To the distant, the black-robed devil master spectated the distorted void. When the void regained its calm, both Old Devil Nian Jiu and Magic Servant Chao Qing had disappeared.

To cause two experts that had erupted with strength at the God Yuan Palace seventh level disappear in an instant? What strength was that?

"Even if Marquis Ardent Fire acted, it would not end so quickly." The expression of the black-robed devil master turned cold. After all, it was impossible for one to teleport in a suppressed void. One had to fly forward to kill the enemy, yet Old Devil Nian Jiu had six avatars, and the fleshy body of Magic Servant Chao Qing was terrifically strong too. To kill both of them in an instant?

"The surrounding void is suppressed, even time-space was obscured? Who could kill both of them in that single instant?"

"Does Ying Shan Clan have such an expert?"

The black-robed devil master pondered for a while.

It was only possible for that unfathomable 'Old Mother Ying Shan' who could do this. But what identity did she have? She was undoubtedly protecting the Ying Shan City. The Ying Shan City was much bigger than this Ardent Fire City and was more important too. It was impossible for the other party to rush over across such a long distance without utilizing a spatial ultra-long distance teleportation technique.

"Who is it?"

"Unless there is an expert who is living in seclusion within Ardent Fire City? Seeing that the talent of that young fellow Xue Ying is so high, that was why he acted to protect him?" The black-robed devil master could only think of this point.

"Consider him fortunate." The black-robed devil master turned around and left.

The carriage was still in midair; the eight dragon beasts were feeling slight unease.

The Hidden Guards, Tian Yi Zhi, the nine personal guards, female attendant Yan Yu, Ying Shan Lie Hu and his servants and protectors were all astonished. For a moment, they could not remain calm.

"Prince, just now I saw many pavilions and houses floating by the distant sky!" The female attendant Yan Yu was slightly excited, "In the blink of an eye, everything returned back to their original positions again!"

"I wonder who that senior is." Xue Ying sighed, "Really formidable."

"This senior helped prince, possibly because he had ties with our Ying Shan Clan. But it is important for Prince to remember this favor." Tian Yi Zhi chuckled. He even felt envy for their clan prince since he could befriend which that great expert by relying on this.

"Hu."

The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire appeared once again in midair.

Marquis Ardent Fire saw that everything was fine. He noticed Xue Ying had no injuries too before heaving a sigh of relief. Only then did he start investigating what had happened previously.

Just as they were chatting…

"Hu."

Two figures appeared here.

One was a green-pupiled old man, and the other was Old Mother Ying Shan.

"Old Ancestor, Marquis Floating Dust." The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire went forward to greet them.

"We came late." Old Mother Ying Shan looked around her before smiling, "But it is still fortunate that nothing bad happened. How did you all defend against that Magic Servant Chao Qing?"

The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire shook his head: "I do not know either. It seems to be an expert who passed by Ardent Fire City."

Old Mother Ying Shan looked into empty space.

The void gradually distorted and fleeted with the scenes of what happened previously, though they were soon disrupted.

"The assassin has even disrupted the time-space." Old Mother Ying Shan looked towards the green-pupiled old man by the side, "Floating Dust, I"ll have to ask you to investigate things."

"Alright."

The green-pupiled old man nodded. His eyes then shot out a faint green light. One could see many projections started appearing in the air to the distance. It began showing what happened previously from start to end, though during the moment the void was distorted, it remained disordered. They were only able to see some regions that Xue Ying did not deliberately conceal.

"Such a formidable domain technique." The green-pupiled old man commented with astonishment, "That Old Devil Nian Jiu and Magic Servant Chao Qing both perished in an instant. Magic Servant Chao Qing is able to unleash strength at the God Yuan Palace seventh level. Furthermore, his fleshy body is strong. It is very difficult to kill such an existence instantly."

"I can't do it." Marquis Ardent Fire added.

His combat style was quite tyrannical, though the magic servant was not foolish. He could parry and escape too.

"The actor should have a ninth level strength." Old Mother Ying Shan chuckled, 'The puzzling thing is that he acted to save this young fellow Xue Ying, yet did not come out to speak to this old granny. Unless he did not do so because of me?"

If the other party acted for her sake, he should have spoken to her at least.

"It could be someone who lives in seclusion within Ardent Fire City, or he might just be passing by this area." Old Mother Ying Shan shook her head with a smile, "No matter what, this expert should not have any vile intention. We could still thank him for his help."

"Mn." Marquis Ardent Fire nodded.

Old Mother Ying Shan and Marquis Ardent Fire could not think of who had helped them during this period. At least nobody within the Southern Cloud Nation corresponded with the profile of this expert. Nevertheless, the Realm Heart Great Land was massive, and there were many nations. There were even six great ancient nations where experts numbered like clouds! Hence, it was natural for many experts to exist that did not know of Old Mother Ying Shan.

"Little fellow Xue Ying." Old Mother Ying Shan turned to him, "That expert must be fond of you, which was why he acted. It might be possible to meet him in the future. You must remember to befriend that expert by then."

After all, according to their deduction, that should be at least a Conferred King.

In the entire Southern Cloud Nation, there were only 21 Conferred Kings in the total! None had such a horrifying technique that could distort the void like this.

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded.

"For you to remain calm without panicking shows that your heart temperament is quite good." The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire praised Xue Ying too.

As Old Mother Ying Shan spoke, she was also pondering who this mysterious expert was. Firstly, she had excluded all those who lived within the Southern Cloud Nation. It should be someone outside of it. She was quite familiar with the entire Black Devil Four Nations too, and some devils within the Black Devil Great Lake. There were only two who could achieve this at the Primal Chaos realm. But many more of such experts existed in the vaster world outside the Black Devil Four Nations.

"That is an opportunity for Xue Ying. Furthermore, Xue Ying is talented in the void too, which is the same as what this expert specializes in. Since he acted, their destiny has been connected. Who knows if he might come and meet Xue Ying because of fate." Old Mother Ying Shan chuckled. Following that, her expression turned cold. She was currently pondering over who arranged the assassination.

Who was it that wanted to reap the life of her Ying Shan Clan's disciple, 'Ying Shan Xue Ying', who had the highest talent in the history of her clan!

Chapter 1020: The Fury of the Ying Shan Clan

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Ardent Fire."

Old Mother Ying Shan's voice remained calm, "Your governance of Ardent Fire City is too lax, allowing so many experts to enter."

"It is I who is incompetent." Marquis Ardent Fire lowered his head and replied.

"There is even a Magic Servant Chao Qing!" Old Mother Ying Shan nonchalantly stated, "For someone to send Devil Nian Jiu and a magic servant as an assassin, this person should have an exceptional identity."

Marquis Ardent Fire obediently nodded.

He was a Grandpa Marquis, yet was not willing to buy a magic servant. Of course, he could still afford the 'Magic Servant Chao Qing' which was the cheapest and weakest puppet in the Primal Chaos realm. Nevertheless, as he would be staying at the Ardent Fire City to protect it for long periods, he felt that there was no need to purchase one! It was too extravagant and wasteful.

"Investigate." Old Mother Ying Shan coldly ordered, "Dig out everything. Floating Dust, you should accompany me and stay for three days in the Ardent Fire City. Help me investigate this matter too. The subordinates of Ardent Fire are likely weaker than you in terms of their searching capabilities."

"Alright." The green-pupiled old man chuckled.

Old Mother Ying Shan was an extremely ancient Conferred King within Southern Cloud Nation. Her strength was ranked in the front too. When Floating Dust was weak, he had gotten an enormous favor from Old Mother Ying Shan. After that, the two became closer over time.

Xue Ying and Ying Shan Lie Hu had both stood up a long time ago from the carriage.

"Little fellow Xue Ying." Old Mother Ying Shan laughed as she looked at Xue Ying, "Why are you holding on to a spear? Are you thinking of personally fighting against the enemy?"

"Old Ancestor." Xue Ying unraveled his aura abruptly. He confidently stated, "I currently wield a God Yuan Palace fifth level strength. It is still possible for me to fight a round or two with the enemy. Naturally, I am unwilling to be captured just like this."

The eyes of Old Mother Ying Shan sparkled at that instant.

"You've reached the fifth level in the "Southern Cloud Sacred Body"?" The incarnation of Marquis Ardent Fire was stunned.

"This is rare. Prince Xue Ying has only cultivated for five million years, yet you have reached the God Yuan Palace fifth level strength." Floating Dust sighed, "It is possible to reach the Unity realm by depending on your bloodline, yet cultivating the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" require good comprehension ability. For you to reach this realm in just five million years show you have an amazing talent."

Old Mother Ying Shan might be happy, though she still reminded: "Don't praise this young fellow too much. His bloodline is extraordinary, and it originates from the king's 'void bloodline' as well. It is natural that the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" will come easier for him. His speed of cultivation merely is above average that he could reach this stage in five million years."

She was afraid that Xue Ying might get complacent.

After all, he was the one with the greatest innate talent within the history of Ying Shan Clan. If Xue Ying became too complacent and lost seriousness in cultivation, it would significantly affect his future.

"Little Fellow Xue Ying," Old Mother Ying Shan smiled, "You might have reached the God Yuan Palace fifth level strength, but regardless of that magic servant or Old Devil Nian Jiu, both of them have reached the seventh level strength. Killing you is as simple as flipping their hands."

"I know. But I can't just sit still and let them kill me without retaliating." Xue Ying answered, "Old Ancestor, I have already acquired this strength, so it is time for me to pay the capital a visit right? I would like to go to the main religion headquarters of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion to learn the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles"."

"Mn."

Both Old Mother Ying Shan and Marquis Ardent Fire could not help but nod.

"You should indeed go, and should go there as soon as possible." Marquis Ardent Fire added.

"The experts in the main religion headquarters of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion are like clouds–there are many of them. Going there will aid in your cultivation." Old Mother Ying Shan said, "You should stay there and cultivate for a period. With your talent, it should be easy for me to find my old friend and make you become an inner disciple of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion."

"Many thanks, Ancestor." Xue Ying thanked.

"You should go back and rest first. After a few days, I'll arrange for you to set off." Old Mother Ying Shan said. With a wave of his hand, she enveloped Xue Ying, Ying Shan Lie Hu, Tian Yi Zhi and the group of protectors and attendants with her energy. "Hong–," she forcefully teleported them into the Ardent Fire Marquisdom. Clearly, it was an easy task given Old Mother Ying Shan's strength to teleport them when the void was not suppressed.

Naturally, she could not achieve 'ultra-long distance teleportation'.

"Hmph." The expression of Old Mother Ying Shan became colder after that, "I would like to find out who exactly was the one that started this whole affair."

The eyes of Marquis Ardent Fire flashed with a frosty intent too. His fury had clearly reached the tipping point.

The entire Ardent Fire City was jittery.

"Hua hua hua."

Practically the entire Ardent Fire Army came out from its nest. Many teams of soldiers flew above Ardent Fire City and went to various places to conduct the investigation.

Old Mother Ying Shan merely left an incarnation here. But with her protecting this region with Marquis Floating Dust, both of them would personally go investigating suspicious point that came up.

WIth her around…

Even the other giant of Ardent Fire City, Chun Yu Wei Yi who controlled the Southern Cloud Sacred Hall here temporarily ordered his subordinates to return to their positions. They were temporarily under strict orders not to move about.

"Tell me."

The plump Chun Yu Feng knelt there. His face was filled with sweat.

Marquis Ardent Fire sat there. The entire place was surrounded by soldiers. Marquis Ardent Fire was currently looking at Chun Yu Feng coldly.

"Yes yes, I've said everything already, but Grandpa Marquis, this affair is honestly unrelated to me." Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng shouted out anxiously. He was also asking his clan for help, though the clan merely gave him an answer–coordinate with the Ying Shan Clan!

The fury of Old Mother Ying Shan!

Chun Yu Clan might be one of the three Great Emperor realm clans, yet it was impossible for them to offend Old Mother Ying Shan for this little fellow!

Being a Conferred King, Old Mother Ying Shan could casually wipe out the existence of Chun Yu Feng, and she would not suffer from any aggression at all,

Many chains of dubious businesses conducted in the past were being pulled out. Many aristocratic clan disciples were also captured for interrogation. These aristocratic clan disciples did not have any potential and naturally wanted to earn more 'resources'. Hence, some of them would have partaken in those dubious businesses before. And now, disaster was brought down upon them by that Qian Gan Xue.

"Qian Gan Xue, it is fortunate that you died early. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you." Chun Yu Feng gritted as he was locked in prison. During these two short days, he suffered from many interrogations and punishments. He had even been sent over to the Ying Shan Clan for interrogation under the illusory realm. Even still, Marquis Ardent Fire kept him imprisoned.

He, Chun Yu Feng, was still a disciple of the Chun Yu Clan. He had relatively high status, and could barely keep his life.

This time, during the wholesome interrogation by the Ying Shan Clan, all aristocratic clan disciples that had helped contacted Old Devil Nian Jiu were all killed! Many of those who did not have high statuses and conducted those dubious businesses, as long as they were suspected of being a subordinate of Qian Gan Xue, would either end up being imprisoned or sentenced to death.

During these three days, many aristocratic clan disciples living in Ardent Fire City had kept a low profile.

When they faced ordinary commoners, they would usually act recklessly and ostentatiously. They would only be fined for killing the commoners. Nevertheless, Old Mother Ying Shan would not be punished for killing them! Naturally, Old Mother Ying Shan would not randomly kill. There were some underlying rules between the Conferred Kings of Southern Cloud Nation.

"Hmph hmph."

Within Ardent Fire City, inside an underground cultivation room within an ordinary residence.

The black-robed devil master was currently seated cross-legged here. With how vast the Ardent Fire City was, it was impossible for every residence to be checked. And this place where the incarnation of the devil master hid had no contact with his servants at all.

"Becoming anxious? Turning crazy?"

"Why the need to become so furious over a single failed assassination?" The edges of his lips curled up, "Marquis Ardent Fire, you truly cannot control your temper."

He closed his eyes and remained seated cross-legged until he fell asleep.

To him… this was merely him greeting Marquis Ardent Fire.

Chapter 1021: Southern Cloud Capital

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Three days later at a location with foggy weather.

Xue Ying was seen enjoying wine by himself in a pavilion next to the lake. A spear was placed on his knees. As the incarnation of Old Mother Ying Shan was currently still in the Ardent Fire City, Xue Ying did not practice in any techniques at all. Instead, he was merely comprehending the profound mysteries from the spear body.

As he enjoyed the wine, the female attendant Yan Yu was constantly refilling it for him.

"Xue Ying." A voice was heard.

A red-haired male–Marquis Ardent Fire, flew over with a black-robed demonic teenager.

Xue Ying kept his spear and stood up immediately.

"Grandpa Marquis." Xue Ying greeted. His gaze soon landed on that black-robed demonic teenager. That teenager was currently holding on to a fan fanning himself. His aura was relatively demonic too.

"This one is Magic Servant Blood Rain." The black-robed demonic teenager kept his fan. He bowed, "Old Mother has bestowed me with the name 'Ying Shan Zi Bai'. In the future, this one will be Prince's protector. The day Prince breaks through to the Primal Chaos realm is also the day I return to the ancestral family."

Xue Ying was startled.

Magic Servant 'Blood Rain'?

It was rare for fleshy puppets to wield strength at the Primal Chaos realm. There were even fewer with the ability to generate energy. Magic Servant 'Chao Qing' was considered to be the lowest graded amongst them and also the cheapest. Nevertheless, it required 50 million cosmos crystals to purchase, though there were quite a few Cosmos Gods who could refine it. But Magic Servant Blood Rain was different. Only the 'Summer Wind Ancient Nation' out of the six great ancient nations could refine it. It could maintain an underlying strength of God Yuan Palace seventh level and persist for quite an extended period. During the most crucial moments, it could refine its body to unleash a force at the God Yuan Palace eighth level. After the battle, a massive amount of external materials would be required to restore its energy back.

A magic servant that could unleash power at the God Yuan Palace eighth level… the price to purchase it was quite horrifying–equivalent to about six Chao Qings' price. Marquis Ardent Fire could not afford this magic servant even if he sold all his belongings. Only Old Mother Ying Shan could afford it, to which she bestowed it with the name Ying Shan Zi Bai.

"I'll have to trouble Zi Bai in the future." Xue Ying immediately said.

"It is my honor to be a protector of Prince." Zi Bai held onto the fan and gave an elegant salute.

"Xue Ying, the old ancestor is afraid that the mastermind of this assassination would not give up just like this. Hence, she sent Zi Bai over." Marquis Ardent Fire explained.

"The mastermind hasn't been found?" Xue Ying followed with a question.

"We can only deduce that it should be a devil from the Black Devil Great Lake." Marquis Ardent Fire shook his head.

Xue Ying felt his heart tightening.

Black Devil Great Lake?

Including the Southern Cloud Nation, the four nations around the lake were known as the Black Devil Four Nations. Why? Precisely because they were located next to the 'Black Devil Great Lake', and that location was a famous gathering place for devils across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Horrifying devils that were placed on the wanted list by the six great ancient nations were mostly hiding in the Black Devil Great Lake.

And since these devils could escape from the six great ancient nations, much less was needed to say about other second-tier nations like Southern Cloud Nation. They had a hard time facing the Black Devil Great Lake. After all, there were more than ten Cosmos Gods that were deduced to be staying within the lake, and included amongst them included those great devils that had once brought disaster to the six great ancient nations.

"A devil from the Black Devil Great Lake has sent someone to assassinate me?" Xue Ying felt puzzled.

"It should be an enemy of my Ying Shan Clan." Marquis Ardent Fire said, "This cannot be avoided. Over the long years, the Ying Shan Clan had dealings with the devils from the Black Devil Great Lake. Naturally, our Ying Shan Clan would not be willing to be humiliated by them. There were even times when we began a huge massacre of those devils!"

"To have dealings with the devils?" Xue Ying felt puzzled.

Why would the Conferred King families within the Southern Cloud Nation have a deal with the devils?

"You will naturally understand these when you reach the Primal Chaos realm." Marquis Ardent Fire said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time. You should hurry to the capital."

"Okay. I have prepared everything and could set off anytime." Xue Ying grinned.

At that moment, Zi Bai whipped open his fan and continued fanning himself. He chuckled: "It has been a long time since I last visited the capital."

That day.

Xue Ying brought along the Magic Servant Zi Bai, Tian Yi Zhi, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, nine personal guards and a female attendant Yan Yu. Even though his mother Rong Xing Lan asked him to bring more female attendants over, Xue Ying was used to cultivating alone in his previous life. Bringing a female attendant was already the limit of which he did to cope with his mother.

"Hu."

They first proceeded to the teleportation array in Ardent Fire City in the direction of one of the three Great Emperor ranked cities, 'Chun Yu City'.

Following that, they went to another teleportation array within the Chun Yu City which led them towards the capital!

"Hua~"

The space regained its usual calm.

A white-robed handsome young man with a female attendant by his side, a gray-robed old man, a black-robed demonic male fanning himself and two Black Stream Cloud Wolves were looking around with wary. Those wolves were letting out soft growls, and the nine personal guards remained solemn.

"The Southern Cloud Capital" Xue Ying watched on.

The sky was filled with magnificent light beams moving about. The city was so big that one could not see its end.

Being the biggest city in the Southern Cloud Nation, this was a place that Southern Cloud King personally protected. This was also where one of the ten great religions across the entire Realm Heart Great Land, 'Southern Cloud Sacred Religion', was located. The Southern Cloud Capital was even a famous place across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Over here, experts from other nations could be seen frequently. There were also many organizations from the six great ancient nations opening branches in this city.

As for the cultivators who came to join the headquarters of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, their number was shocking.

'This Southern Cloud Capital feels more powerful and stable by ten to a hundred times as compared to one of the holy grounds in the Primal Chaos Void, 'Blade Emperor City.' Xue Ying was inwardly shocked.

It was inevitable. The Realm Heart Great Land had too many Cosmos Gods, which led to a more profound stage of research on arrays. It was highly probable for experts who had surpassed Ancestor Sorcerer in the attainments of Arrays to exist here. Furthermore, the 'Southern Cloud King' was the head for one of the top ten great religions. He was considered very rich when compared to his peers. Hence, he could easily afford several powerful arrays.

The Southern Cloud King had quite an intimidating strength. Few could compete with him when he was in the Southern Cloud Capital.

"Prince, our Ying Shan Clan also has a courtyard here." Magic Servant Zi Bai chuckled, "We should go there first for a respite. Old Mother has already sent someone to arrange for your matter at the headquarters of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Prince can visit the headquarters after that."

"Alright." Xue Ying nodded.

Southern Cloud Capital, Ying Shan Courtyard.

There were many Ying Shan Clan disciples here. Some came to cultivate, and some were responsible for businesses. But when Xue Ying came, he naturally became the person with the highest status within the Ying Shan Courtyard.

"It is that Prince Xue Ying."

"He has come to the capital."

Even though three ancestral family elders were presiding over this place, Xue Ying had Magic Servant Zi Bai as his personal protector, so the three elders naturally had to lower their heads. They did not mind too since this Prince Xue Ying was destined to become a Conferred Marquis at the Primal Chaos realm.

They held a welcome reception for Xue Ying and enthusiastically received him.

"Prince Xue Ying, this isn't the Ying Shan City, and neither is it the Ardent Fire City. There are as many experts as there are clouds, and many even have great statuses. For instance, there are disciples from the royal family, or geniuses from Emperor ranked clans. But you should pay more attention to disciples coming from huge clans of the six great ancient nations, and disciples from the royal families of the six great ancient nations. They are people even the most domineering crown prince of our Southern Cloud Nation could not afford to offend."

"Yes, Prince Xue Ying, it is better to remain low profile here."

The ancestral family elders and some disciples were advising him.

Xue Ying sighed inwardly after hearing it.

Magic Servant Zi Bai continued fanning himself while nonchalantly saying: "Prince, there is no need to be overly worried. Old Mother has made me bring along a Southern Cloud Sacred Token! As long as you don't take the initiative to offend someone, there is no need for you to care about even disciples from the six great ancient nations. Actually, there are differing statuses amongst the disciples from the six great ancient nations too, and few could actually force us to take a step back."

"Southern Cloud Order Token?" The three ancestral family elders were astonished.

The Southern Cloud Order Token was bestowed by the king himself. Old Mother Ying Shan only had one single token herself. Naturally, with her strength, this sacred token was merely for show. Only when it was with Xue Ying could it display its protective effect.

"Old Mother really favors upon Prince Xue Ying." The three ancestral family elders and other disciples could not help but feel envy for him.

Xue Ying wasn't also a cultivation maniac who knew nothing but cultivation. He would never offend a huge enemy for no reason. On the second day after he arrived at the capital, he left for the 'Treasured Goods Market'.

There was a Treasured Goods Market in any city across the origin world.

The Southern Cloud Capital was even a famous big city within the Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, the Treasured Goods Market here was even more flourishing than that in the Ardent Fire City. Furthermore, one could feel the splendor of treasures despite being quite a distance away from the market. There were shops opened by the royal family, and even by disciples from huge clans of the six great ancient nations.

There were all sorts of treasures here, so many that they could not be counted.

"Amazing."

"This is spectacular!"

Xue Ying visited many places. This was truly an eye-opening experience for him!

"Mn?"

While walking on the street, Xue Ying suddenly frowned. Flipping his hand, a spear appeared. He could feel the faint feeling of a struggle coming from the spear body. It seemed something was attracting it, 'What is attracting it?'

At the next moment, Xue Ying had an idea.

He sped off in that direction. Those following behind him, Magic Servant Zi Bai, Tian Yi Zhi, and others felt bewildered, though they followed closely behind.

'It is there!' Xue Ying soon found a shop with a sharp hemispherical roof. Xue Ying's gaze crossed through the void obstacle and soon saw a particular object floating on the third floor amongst 12 treasures. That was a spearhead.

Chapter 1022: The Origin of the Spear

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

There was a spearhead floating. It seemed ordinary, yet one could feel fluctuations of folded space coming from it. At the same time, there were many layers of arrays which covered over this spearhead as if eggshells wrapping around it. This was done to prevent thoughts of snatching it away from forming in the head of guests despite the presence of many arrays covering the entire 'Treasured Goods Market', and the fact that stealing something was a foolish act in the Southern Cloud Capital.

But there were the occasional few who could not hold themselves back and thought they were pretty good at fleeing. Hence, by establishing up a forbidding array, this prevented anyone from touching the secret treasure in the first place.

"Let us visit that shop." Xue Ying said.

The group of subordinates followed closely to the shop where Xue Ying directed. The shop occupied a huge area, and there was a simple yet unique seal imprinted at the front of the shop–'Fan'.

"Fan Clan?" Magic Servant Zi Bai lightly fanned himself from the side. He added, "The Fan Clan is one of the biggest three clans from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. It is even a clan ranked across the entire Realm Heart Great Land."

Xue Ying nodded after hearing that.

The 'Fan Clan' was a huge famous clan in the Realm Heart Great Land and was even one of the three great clans within the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. There were dozens of Cosmos Gods in the Fan Clan. Just this Fan Clan alone had sufficient strength to suppress one of the six great ancient nations, the 'Towering Sky Ancient Nation'. Clearly, there were differing statuses between the six great ancient nations too.

And the Towering Sky Ancient Nation was the weakest of them all.

'The Fan Clan is extremely powerful.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly. A clan could suppress Towering Sky Ancient Nation by itself.

"Welcome, Prince! This way please!" Beautiful female attendants were coming over at that instance to welcome Xue Ying.

Xue Ying brought his subordinates in.

The first level of the shop might be huge, and it contained many winding corridors too, though Xue Ying's gaze could easily bypass the obstacle of the void–he could see all treasures located on the first level.

'Not a single secret treasure here.' Xue Ying shook his head inwardly.

"Let's go to the second floor."

Xue Ying directly proceeded on to the next floor. The second floor had some secret treasures, though with Xue Ying's judgment, he could determine that they were all slightly weaker secret treasures and were mainly meant for Primal Chaos giants to use.

Very soon, Xue Ying arrived at the third floor.

"This Prince, the third floor only allow for two subordinates to be brought." An emissary was obstructing his way on the stairway leading to the third floor. Clearly, the third floor of this shop was extraordinary. If one brought all his subordinates in, what would the situation of the third floor end up in?

"Zi Bai, Elder Tian, follow me up." Xue Ying ordered.

"Yes."

Magic Servant Zi Bai and Tian Yi Zhi followed closely behind.

The three of them arrived at the third floor of this shop belonging to Fan Clan. Even though the third floor was about as big as the second floor, there were only 12 floating secret treasures here, and every treasure had a female attendant stationed beside it.

"This Prince, are you here to see our secret treasures? The Fan Clan branch located here in the Southern Cloud Capital is also ranked in the top 100 in the Realm Heart Great Land." A plump old man came over with a smile. The aura emitting from his body had reached the Primal Chaos stage.

Magic Servant Zi Bai shook his fan and transmitted to Xue Ying: "Prince, this old man should be a magic servant too, though I can't see what kind of magic servant is he."

Xue Ying softly nodded.

Primal Chaos realm Magic Servants…

An apex clan like the Fan Clan was even more willing to let the magic servant be in charge of several businesses! Because the magic servants were all absolutely loyal, and would not be greedy.

"Prince should come and see this secret treasure, 'Cloud Sky Hammer'." The plump old man pointed to an enormous black great hammer floating by the side. This hammer was even bigger than a human, "This is the secret treasure used by the famous 'Paragon Matron Slave' from Towering Sky Ancient Nation during the first War of the Ancient Nations. After that, Paragon Matron Slave has refined a secret treasure that is even more suited for herself, and thus, sold this Cloud Sky Hammer. After going through many rounds of transactions, it ended up in the hands of my Fan Clan and is placed here temporarily. It is considered a clan protection treasure of the branch here in the Southern Cloud Capital. Oh right, this secret treasure also contains a set of absolute art created by Paragon Matron Slave called "Cloud Sky Hammer Technique"."

Xue Ying saw a hill-like black great hammer floating there. He felt a strong suppression coming from this weapon and knew that it was more horrifying than the 12 Primal Beads Bracelet which he once owned.

"What is the price like?" Xue Ying asked.

The plump male grinned: "Eight billion cosmos crystals."

Xue Ying felt his eyelids twitching after hearing that.

Eight billion cosmos crystals…

Could Old Mother Ying Shan even afford it?

"This was after all the weapon used by Paragon Matron Slave during the first War of the Ancient Nations. There are several Cosmos Gods who died under this weapon." The plump old man said, "It is worth a Cosmos God selling all of his treasures to purchase it."

Xue Ying also understood that this Clan Protection Treasure was deliberately placed here to show off how dazzling the foundation of Fan Clan was! How could anyone afford such a treasure?

Such a fantastic secret treasure would only be willingly bought by some powerful cultivators that met it by chance and fell in love with it.

"Amazing, amazing."

Xue Ying merely praised it before continuing to look at other secret treasures.

He walked and stopped. And soon, he arrived at the spearhead which was also the reason why he came.

"This spearhead has an interesting origin." The plump male chuckled, "Its owner is even someone who had some slight relationship with my Fan Clan."

Xue Ying felt his heart thumping.

Its owner?

It seemed that the Fan Clan knew the exact origin of this spearhead.

"A very long time ago, at an era before the first War of the Ancient Nations, that time, the Realm Heart Great Land was more chaotic, unlike the current world which is comparatively more orderly. At that time, the Summer Wind Ancient Nation hasn't been built." The plump old man said, "'Great Paragon Lu Tian' from my Fan Clan has once befriended someone as he traveled across the Realm Heart Great Land, someone known as 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master'. That was a horrifying existence who wasn't any weaker than Great Paragon Lu Tian himself, yet that Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master was too overly arrogant and ostentatious. He was obstinate and unyielding, which cost him his life in the end. Of course, that was something which happened before the first War of the Ancient Nations, and I only know bits and pieces of it."

"But this spearhead was the one Great Paragon Lu Tian saw in the past. It is indeed the spearhead of the 'Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear' which belongs to Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master."

"It's a pity that over the years as the spear was circulated around, only this spearhead is left behind." The plump old man shook his head.

Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

Something that happened before the first War of the Ancient Nations? That was indeed a period where even history was scarcely recorded. After all, many ancient nations had yet to be built then.

Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master?

"I wonder what is the price like?" Xue Ying asked.

"As it is missing a piece, and only its spearhead is left behind, it is deemed cheaper." The plump old man chuckled, "500 million cosmos crystals."

"500 million?"

Xue Ying felt stunned.

And that was considered cheap?

As cultivating the "Southern Cloud Sacred Body" required precious materials, he only had a total of 50 over million cosmos crystals. This was even given to him by Old Mother Ying Shan when he reached the Unity realm.

500 million cosmos crystals. That was a really horrifying price. It cost even more than Magic Servant Zi Bai!

"It isn't costly. Any formidable Primal Chaos giant could buy it after selling all his belongings." The plump old man said, "After all, this was a weapon of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master. If it was the complete treasure, its price might not be any less than that 'Cloud Sky Hammer'! But now, 500 million cosmos crystals is really just a pittance."

Xue Ying could not afford it at all.

Even if he displayed his strength and became a powerful Primal Chaos giant, he needed time to accumulate treasures. And to do that, most would have to risk their lives and go on a campaign to kill.

'500 million cosmos crystals.' Xue Ying felt his heart trembling.

No other choice.

In a tiny area like the Ardent Fire City, nobody was able to recognize the origin of the spear body. After all, the imprints on the spear body were lacking. Xue Ying was able to buy it at a low price.

This spearhead was different. The spearhead was mainly used to attack and kill. During ordinary times, the spearhead would cause the surrounding void to fluctuate, forming many void ripples. One glance and it sufficed to show that this was an extraordinary item. Furthermore, Great Paragon Lu Tian had ascertained its origin, which was why its price naturally went up.

"After all, this is only a spearhead." The plump male saw the appearance of Xue Ying and felt that this young man seemed interested in the item. He added, "If you are really interested in buying it, I can reduce the price slightly."

It could indeed be reduced to a lower price.

Even though it had a great origin, it was ultimately an incomplete weapon. The Fan Clan had fixed the lowest price it could be sold at 300 million cosmos crystals.

"How much cheaper can it be? Is it possible to buy it below 100 million cosmos crystals?" Xue Ying asked.

The plump male shook his head profusely: "Impossible. Absolutely impossible. It can only be slightly cheaper."

"Oh."

Xue Ying felt slightly disappointed.

He did not have any choice. He could not afford this weapon!

But even if he could not afford it, if Xue Ying could hold onto this spearhead and personally observe through the operation of the internal imprints! He would be able to memorize part of it. Fusing it with the profound mysteries within the spear body would be of great help. It would certainly reduce the difficulty of comprehending the profound mysteries within the spear body by three to five times.

"Can I see it?" Xue Ying turned to the plump old man in front. This spearhead was wrapped around by many layers of forbidding arrays. Clearly, it was meant to make it difficult for guests to view it.

Chapter 1023: Just a Little Fellow

"Have a look?" The plump old man chuckled, "Aren't you currently looking at it?"

"Can I hold it with my hands?" Xue Ying followed up with the next question, "As there is a forbidding array, I can't view it clearly, and can only look at its external appearance. Who knows how formidable this spearhead is? And if it is appropriate for me?"

He had already reached the Primal CHaos realm in the Dao of Void, yet when comprehending the spear body, Xue Ying still had many queries. As long as he viewed part of the profound mysteries within the spearhead, it would be equivalent to seeing the entire appearance of the spear which would certainly clear away many of his previous doubts.

"Only when a person views it thoroughly can he understand if it is suitable or not." Magic Servant Zi Bai fanned himself and added from the side.

"Take it out for a look?" The plump old man chuckled. He pointed to the spearhead that was wrapped by layers of forbidding array, "Many arrays are protecting it. If anyone can have a look at it, why is there a need for the arrays to be present?"

As the plump old man talked to Xue Ying, he was also sending orders to his subordinates to gather information on this guest.

"Great manager, this young prince is Ying Shan Xue Ying and is a genius disciple of the Ying Shan Clan. He is a Void God at birth and was able to reach the Unity realm in 8,000 years. The magic servant by the side was a Magic Servant Blood Rain purchased in the past by Old Mother Ying Shan because this Prince Xue Ying suffered from assassination in the past." The Fan Clan was originally good at gathering information, and Xue Ying was also quite famous within the Southern Cloud Nation.

"Oh? Such a small clan like the Ying Shan Clan?" The plump old male was enlightened.

In his heart, the entire Ying Shan Clan was a small clan.

There was only a single Old Mother Ying Shan whom he had to pay more attention to! As for other people, he could ignore them.

Actually, to the 'Fan Clan', they only paid attention to the royal family from the Southern Cloud Nation. After all, the Southern Cloud royal family had an amazing king who was admired even by the six great ancient nations. The other three Great Emperor ranked clans were considered small to them!

Xue Ying looked at the plump old man with anticipation. He did not know that the other party's view of Xue Ying had changed for Xue Ying was merely a disciple from a small clan.

"Indeed, only when you look at it thoroughly could you know if it is suitable or not." The plump old man chuckled, "But with the arrays protecting it, not anyone can see it."

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded.

"My Fan Clan has its rules too." The plump old man continued, "If you want to see it, either you have the strength or the status that we approved of. Or that you can bring out sufficient treasures that would verify you have the purchasing power."

"Strength and status?" Xue Ying felt puzzled.

He definitely could not purchase it.

"Strength that is at least on the level of a Conferred King within the Southern Cloud Nation." The plump old man answered, "Ordinary Primal Chaos giants do not have the qualifications to have a look at this spearhead. Status of someone who is at least a prince of the royal family in the Southern Cloud Nation, or a high-status disciple from the six great ancient nation. Or you could be a personal disciple of some existence who could shock the entire Realm Heart Great Land."

"As for purchasing power, it is simple. Bring out treasures worth 500 million cosmos crystals, and you can view it." The plump old man looked at Xue Ying.

Xue Ying was stunned.

He did not have treasures!

As for strength? He was only at the peak of the eighth level currently when he used his full force. Naturally, Xue Ying did not dare to reveal his strength since he merely cultivated for just five million years.

Status? Did he not hear what the other party said? Only the princes from the entire royal family were qualified!

"My apologies for disturbing you." Xue Ying said, "We will leave now."

"Have a nice day." The plump old man remained smiling. Even though he held such a small clan like the Ying Shan Clan in contempt, he still had to follow the basic courtesy as a businessman!

They left the shop.

"He actually did not allow Prince to see it." Tian Yi Zhi shook his head.

"Did the other party not say it? Either we show that we have the power, the status, or that we have the purchasing power." Magic Servant Zi Bai fanned himself while curling his lips, "Clearly, the Ying Shan Clan is not worth a mention in the eyes of the other party."

"Let's go back."

Xue Ying nonchalantly said.

He wasn't angry at all. It was all about the strong feasting on the weak between cultivators. Naturally, the rules were strict. Since Xue Ying did not have the strength, the status or the purchasing power, it was normal for the other party not to let him see the spearhead.

'I'll wait. When I am strong enough and have earned sufficient cosmos crystals, I can come and buy it then. I do not believe it is that easy for them to sell treasures of this level.' Xue Ying thought. For instance, the 'Cloud Sky Hammer' was a shop protection treasure, and would likely be placed here for god knew how long. That spearhead was, after all, an incomplete weapon, and it was harder for them to sell it.

'My luck this time is not bad for me to discover this spearhead.' Xue Ying thought.

Actually, it was normal for him to discover the spear.

Because the Southern Cloud Capital was the biggest city in the entire Southern Cloud Nation, and also the safest city. Organizations like the Fan Clan that were considered an apex power even in the entire Realm Heart Great Land could only be found in the Southern Cloud Capital! Even some of the organizations within the Southern Cloud Nation would only be placing their more important treasures within the capital and sell it.

Because the Southern Cloud Capital had many experts coming in and out! There was even the 'Southern Cloud King' protecting this place.

If one placed a fantastic treasure in a small little city, would it not be snatched away should a Cosmos God decide to attack it?

Hence, more than 90% of the treasures within the Southern Cloud Nation were gathered at the capital. As for the apex secret treasures, more than 99% of them were in the capital. Xue Ying came here relying on the attraction by the spear body to discover the spearhead… this was nothing special.

In the following days, Xue Ying traveled across various places in the Southern Cloud Capital. More than half his time was spent in the Treasured Goods Market. Other than that, he would be expanding his horizons by checking out some historical remnants and to 'feast'. Xue Ying as a foodie had naturally discovered many top-graded delicacies and wine within the Southern Cloud Capital.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

"Xue Ying, the Old Ancestor has finished arranging things on her side. Tomorrow, you will be proceeding with Magic Servant Zi Bai to the headquarters of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." Marquis Ardent Fire sent the message down to inform Xue Ying.

"Alright."

Xue Ying was in great joy.

The headquarters of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was a place Xue Ying looked forward to going. Because it was one of the ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land, it should have collected many absolute art scriptures within.

One had to know that Xue Ying would only cultivate in two Dao paths at most according to his plan in this world–one was the Dao of Void, and the other was the Dao of Mirage! Xue Ying sought to obtain the highest-graded absolute art Mirage illusory realm scripture, and the best bet for him would be to search for it within the headquarters of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion!

In terms of absolute art scriptures…

Even if all the clans within the Southern Cloud Nation added their books, they could not compare to the tip of what the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had. The foundation of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was honestly horrifying.

"Prince, the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion has many rules. It is impossible for you to bring all your subordinates in. Today, let just the two of us go." Magic Servant Zi Bai said, "In a while, after you become an inner disciple, the headquarters should arrange an accommodation for you to stay in. By then, you can bring in all your subordinates."

"Let's go." Xue Ying said.

The two of them sauntered in midair. Every step they took saw them crossing through a vast distance. The entire capital was huge, and even after teleporting many times, they had to spend an hour before Magic Servant Zi Bai and Xue Ying arrive at the headquarters of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

"Southern Cloud Sacred Religion."

Xue Ying looked at it from afar.

In the distance, one could see chains of mountains. The mountain range contained several pavilions on them. The entire continuous chain of the mountain range was protected by an array, and here was the headquarters for the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. There was currently a vast number of cultivators flying in through the mountain entrance.

The mountain entrance could only be reached after walking through tens of thousands of kilometers along the path within the mountain. By the side of the mountain entrance, there were characters imprinted on the cliff–Southern Cloud.

"Hua."

When Xue Ying first saw those two characters, they seemed ordinary and were only slightly more overbearing.

Nevertheless, when he thoroughly extended his senses over the two characters, he would feel endless void aura coming from them. This was a vast aura that was beyond the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". It was akin to looking at an interminable towering void in reverence.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying?" A golden-robed male was standing by the entrance of the mountain. When he saw Xue Ying, he immediately came over and greeted him.

"Prince, this is Marquis Cheng Deng." The Magic Servant Zi Bai introduced.

"Greetings Marquis Cheng Deng." Xue Ying immediately bowed, "This time, I'll have to trouble Marquis Cheng Deng for your help."

"It is a minor matter. Many blockages within have been settled by Old Mother. Today, we will only be briefly walking through the process. After that, you will become an inner disciple." Marquis Cheng Deng smiled, "Alright, let's not waste any more time. Come on with me."

Chapter 1024: Becoming an Inner Disciple

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was one of the ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. It was incredibly difficult to become an inner disciple of this religion!

Nevertheless, the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was biased to citizens of the Southern Cloud Nation. After all, wars between nations were frequent, and the civilians of one's own country would definitely be more trustworthy!

"Ying Shan Xue Ying, a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan. He was given birth as a disciple belonging to a Southern Cloud aristocratic clan." A total of 15 Primal Chaos experts were gathered in a palace hall. At the center, there was a projection depicting a handsome white-robed young man entering the God Yuan Palace.

"He has outstanding innate talent. Judging by his aura and soul, he hasn't cultivated in a time-accelerated environment, and has merely cultivated for five million years."

"Haha, he has already succeeded in crossing the God Yuan Palace fifth level."

"Fellow cultivators… there should be no disagreements to let him in, right?"

"None at all."

"He is a pass for me."

"That is a young fellow belonging to the clan of Old Mother Ying Shan. Pass for me too."

The 15 Primal Chaos experts said with smiles. The atmosphere was relaxing. A long time ago, Old Mother Ying Shan had already resolved all possible blockages, so everyone present was quite agreeable to it.

They were less stringent on the investigation and appraisal of their own citizens. If it were a cultivator from another nation, the interrogation would be much stricter. Even if a cultivator were not any weaker than Xue Ying in terms of talent, the demand for his strength would be harder, and they had to complete 'certain missions' to test the loyalty of that incoming disciple.

After all, outer disciples did not have to be loyal. They were free to choose other religions.

But the moment they succeeded in becoming an inner disciple of the religion, without the agreement of the Southern Cloud King personally, they were absolutely forbidden from joining other religions. If they dared to do so, it would be betraying the religion! And these traitors would be pursued and killed!

Naturally…

With such harsh requirements, there would be many benefits should one passed the checks and become an inner disciple.

Xue Ying exited from the God Yuan Palace.

'In the primal chaos void, the opponents we had within the Star Pagoda were all Destruction Devils. Nevertheless, the trials within the God Yuan Palace were of different kinds of opponents.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly. Even though there was more variety in the God Yuan Palace, the level of combat demarcation was precisely the same as that of the Star Pagoda. Naturally, the God Yuan Palace had an additional tenth level.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying, congratulations to you!" Marquis Cheng Deng was waiting outside the God Yuan Palace. He laughed, "I have already gotten the news that your appraisal has passed. You are now an inner disciple of our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Oh, in a while, we will bring you to collect your personal inner disciple token, your robes, and other items. As for the cavern-dwelling you are living in, you can choose one yourself."

"Many thanks, Marquis Cheng Deng." Xue Ying said.

"It is just a minor matter. Let's go and collect the token first."

Marquis Cheng Deng was very enthusiastic.

Within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, in the elder's hall.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying, you are now the 3392nd disciple of our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." A silver-haired old man said. That old man was giving off a grand aura. He was currently passing over a robe solemnly to Xue Ying. The robe had a token pinned on to it, "In the future, you are not just a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan. You are also a disciple 'Southern Cloud Sacred Religion', one of the ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Focus on cultivating and break through to the Primal Chaos realm soon. As a disciple of our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, it is a humiliation not to reach the Primal Chaos realm."

"This disciple understands." Xue Ying respectfully received the robe.

He naturally understood it.

The conditions of joining the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion as an inner disciple were harsh. As a civilian of the Southern Cloud Nation, most could join only after they obtained power at the seventh level as a Unity realm! Hence, it wasn't empty words to say that 'it is a humiliation not to reach the Primal Chaos realm as an inner disciple of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion'.

There were more than 3,000 disciples in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and that was the total number of disciples ever since its creation.

Many had fallen over the long years too. Currently, only several hundred inner disciples were alive! Of course, these several hundred inner disciples were sufficient to bring up the reputation of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Of these several hundred disciples, very few were from the Southern Cloud Nation. The majority came from other nations. Even though the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had harsher requirements for them to join it, there was ultimately too many talented outsiders applying. Clearly, having an identity as one of the top ten religions in the great land boosted its attraction.

It might seem relatively easy for Xue Ying to become an inner disciple of the religion.

In reality, his talent was ranked in the top ten within the history of Southern Cloud Nation.

In terms of comprehension ability, he had reached the Unity realm fifth level within five million years.

Only with such great talent and comprehension ability, coupled with being one of their own people, made it easy for him to join the religion.

Even though many cultivators came to visit the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, almost all of them were outer disciples that wanted to get better guidance at the headquarters!

"Inner disciple."

Xue Ying stood on a mountain peak. There was a cavern-dwelling behind him. His subordinates–Magic Servant Zi Bai, Tian Yi Zhi, the female attendant Yan Yu, his two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and personal guards had settled down too.

'In the future, my fate will be tied together to the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.' Xue Ying thought.

"Sou."

Xue Ying arced through the sky. He flew towards the distant.

The rules within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion were strict. Outer disciples could only traverse within the outer region. The innermost core religion of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was meant just for the inner disciples and their servants. Even the servants of these inner disciples had a predetermined region of movement.

Hence, it was clearly more desolate within this inner core region.

"The Book Repository Realm."

As Xue Ying flew across the sky, he arrived on a mountain peak floating within the clouds. The summit had a vast cave that spanned over ten meters tall. There were two characters 'Book Repository' imprinted on the cave. It was also the most critical place which Xue Ying paid attention to after joining the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

As he stepped into the cave, the surrounding space started turning illusory.

"Mn?" Xue Ying looked around him. He had entered an enormous space.

Many bookshelves floated within the space.

There were different books and many more that were absolute art scriptures. Many of these books were also personal insights seniors had left behind regarding cultivation. For instance, insights on the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". Amidst many of the books, the complete "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" could be seen.

With a glance, this vast space contained just a dozen other figures flipping through the books of comprehending. Those who could enter were at least inner disciples.

'Let's have a look at those rumored books.'

Xue Ying felt his heart itch. He rapidly flew towards the center of the space. There was a sky pillar extending all the way to the top. Many rows of characters were also imprinted on this pillar.

""Third Realm Technique", requires 500,000 contribution points to exchange."

""Avatar Technique", requires 300,000 contribution points to exchange."

""Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique", requires 300,000 contribution points to exchange."

""Five Phase Sealing Technique", requires 200,000 contribution points to exchange."

""Star God Body", requires 200,000 contribution points to exchange."

""External Incarnation Technique", requires 100,000 contribution points to exchange."

""Void-ification Undying Technique", requires 100,000 contribution points to exchange."

There were rows and rows of words which caused Xue Ying's eyes to brighten.

The "Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique" could be found here. There was also the ordinary "Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique". The "Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique" should be Xue Ying's own ultra-long distance teleportation technique. It merely required 50,000 contribution points to exchange.

'These are the legendary absolute art scriptures.' Xue Ying praised. He already knew some of them through the different books he read.

The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, being one of the ten great religions, had collected many scriptures. Some originated from before the first War of the Ancient Nations. Some were even unique across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. There were cultivators from the six great ancient nations who came here just to have a look at it. Naturally, they had to fork out a huge price. Of course, the foundation of the six great ancient nations was thicker than the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. They, too, had their own unique, powerful absolute art scriptures. Nevertheless, it was extremely difficult to join an ultra-strong religion within the six great ancient nations as an outsider from a different nation. Most outsiders even suffered from discrimination.

The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was still a religion located within his own home nation, and it was sufficient for it to be ranked as top ten in the Realm Heart Great Land.

'It's a pity that the scriptures imprinted on the Sky Pillar require contribution points to be exchanged. But this is quite a good deal since I could exchange for them as an inner disciple. Outer disciples can't even learn them.' Xue Ying sighed. He swept across many of the books within the vast space. As for those books located here, they were free for anyone to peruse.

Chapter 1025: Stunned

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

'With these books, the possibility of me breaking through to the Cosmos God realm would be much higher!'

Xue Ying's eyes were sparkling as he stared at the books floating across the vast space.

What about those books imprinted on the Sky Pillar?

He temporarily did not need to care about them since they required contribution points to be exchanged. Currently, Xue Ying could only accept Unity realm level missions with the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and he would only be getting hundreds of contribution points every task. Furthermore, these missions were extremely complex. The slightly easier ones had already been snatched away by other inner disciples!

Inner disciples were practically all at the Primal Chaos realm and could send their incarnations an ultra-long distance away. They could thus efficiently complete these missions.

'In order to earn contribution points, I should wait until the time that I can show my strength to the public–about ninth or tenth level. By then, earning points should be much faster.' Xue Ying thought.

'As for now?'

'I should build a strong foundation first.' Xue Ying started his reading.

The Book Repository within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was quite scary. The rare scriptures located on the 'Sky Pillar' were ultimately few in number–fewer than 100. But the other books found here were free to read! There were even absolute art scriptures that directly led to the Cosmos God realm available for everyone to browse through.

'By learning from the crystallization of wisdom and experience of others, this would widen my path of cultivation.' Xue Ying did not mind learning from others. By doing so, it would broaden his perspective. Just like how his talent on the Dao of Void initially could not compare to the 'Dao of Mirage illusory realm', after learning from the inheritances by Void Primogenitor, Monarch Nine Cloud, and comprehending the scaled armor left behind by General Mo Gu that contained the 'shadowless talent', coupled with observing the Lost World Corridor for a trillion years… Xue Ying's attainment in the Dao of Void continually rose. It had even surpassed his comprehensions on the Dao of Slaughter and Dao of Ripple.

And in this life.

He joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion which specialized in the void aspect. The religion even had the "Avatar Technique", "Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique", and "Void-ification Undying Technique".

Maybe his attainments on the void in this life might be higher than the Mirage and illusory realm. That was entirely possible!

Cultivating with reference from many seniors versus slowly cultivating alone was very different.

'So many books.'

Xue Ying first spent a total of two days sweeping through all the books.

His accomplishments in the void aspect were originally high so few could catch his notice–only a total of 195 books on the void element! As for books written by other seniors regarding the tricks to cultivating the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", Xue Ying disdained from reading those since few of those seniors had reached the tenth level power at Primal Chaos realm.

Xue Ying naturally wasn't willing to waste too much of his time.

'195 books.' Xue Ying softly nodded. More than 30 of these 195 books were written personally by 'Southern Cloud King' himself! Others were either books that were written directly to the Cosmos God realm or they were some ancient and queer books.

'There are actually good books on the Mirage and illusory realm too.' Xue Ying felt pleasant.

There were even fewer books that were noticed by Xue Ying on the Mirage and illusory realm aspect. Primarily it was because there were not too many books on this aspect across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, fewer existed in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Only a total of 18 books were noticed by Xue Ying! And only two books could be cultivated to the Cosmos God realm. And there were no books at all that gave one the ability to exhibit a tenth level strength at the Primal Chaos realm.

This was normal too. Exhibiting strength at the tenth level was equivalent to having the ability to fight against Cosmos Gods. It was absolutely not a technique that a sect would easily publicize.

Like the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, only after becoming an inner disciple could he learn it. Otherwise, non-inner disciples would have to fork out a huge price.

'This is enough.'

'This is sufficient.' Xue Ying felt contended. These 18 books on the Mirage and illusory realm had significantly opened his eyes. He was ultimately a great expert in the Mirage and illusory realm, and someone who created a ninth level move at the Primal Chaos realm.

'These books all represent different cultivation directions. They have greatly improved my confidence in breaking through to the Cosmos God realm.'

Joining the religion?

He did not care about treasures! Neither did Xue Ying care about the backings!

Instead, what he paid greater importance to was the absolute art scriptures left behind by many experts across the generations in the Realm Heart Great Land. As the saying went, 'Dao isn't easily imparted to others'. It wasn't easy for Southern Cloud King with his strength to collect so many books either. And it was impossible for a cultivator to access these books if he was not willing to join the religion altogether. Furthermore, it was impossible for the Southern Cloud King to accept cultivators without the required strength or talent either.

After obtaining these books, Xue Ying first memorized them.

Only after that did he continue cultivating with a low profile within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. He would occasionally flip through different books to broaden his perspective. Over time, it had been three million years after Xue Ying joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

In a desert.

A white-robed young figure was flying through the sky. He was killing his way towards the nine armored soldiers ahead. These armored soldiers had different weapons–some were holding on to a saber, some were holding on to a shield, and some to bow and arrows…

"Hu."

That white-robed young man flashed. Many figures appeared in the surrounding. It was as if eight to nine figures had appeared within an instant.

His speed was so fast, and his movement was unpredictable. Discerning the real from the fake was hard.

"Pu."

Xue Ying pointed his finger to the back of one soldier. "Peng", the back of that soldier immediately exploded, leaving a huge hole behind and causing fresh blood to spurt. That soldier rapidly reacted, turning back and hacking down his ax. Nevertheless, Xue Ying was no longer there. Ten strange figures appeared at different places charged towards that soldier holding on to a shield next.

By relying on this frightening body cultivation technique, Xue Ying easily trampled on these soldiers. Just a few moments later, those nine armored soldiers were utterly spent. They dissipated from the scene.

"I've succeeded."

Xue Ying revealed a grin. Pagoda-Shaped stairs appeared to the distance that led to the higher seventh level of the God Yuan Palace.

Xue Ying naturally 'lost' this level.

"What?"

"This Ying Shan Xue Ying has just entered the sacred religion not too long ago, yet he has succeeded in crossing through the God Yuan Palace sixth level?"

"So fast?"

Many elders within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion received the news. They felt bewildered. It was normal for cultivators to break through rapidly after entering the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. But after considering the age of Xue Ying, things felt quite exaggerated–he cultivated for just five million years!

"Did he enter the 'Time-Space Realm' to cultivate? He might have cultivated for hundred to a thousand times the period over these three million years."

"He didn't."

"He did not enter a time-accelerated environment. Judging from the aura of his soul, he seems to be slightly older than five million years."

"I've asked the array spirit before. Other than cultivating in his own cavern-dwelling, Ying Shan Xue Ying has practically spent other time reading in the Book Repository Realm. He hasn't entered a time-accelerated environment."

"Reading books? Oh, that's right too. The Book Repository Realm contains many books. There are also many books left behind by the seniors regarding their experience in cultivating the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". This fellow Ying Shan Xue Ying should not have a teacher before. He should have been cultivating by himself in that tiny area Ardent Fire City. Now that he has read through so many books, acquiring the experience of the seniors, he should have gained some enlightenment, directly jumping to the God Yuan Palace sixth level strength. That is normal too."

"Mn, it should be like this."

The elders were discussing this matter.

Even though they understood it was normal for a genius who had never been adequately guided before to break through at a rapid pace after acquiring the experience and guidance of the seniors, it was still quite horrifying since the other party had merely cultivated for five million years.

Southern Cloud Capital.

Within an extremely luxurious residence, there was a bamboo house surrounded by flowing water. A beautiful violet-robed girl sat cross-legged within this house. Her robe was long and had practically occupied half the entire surface of the bamboo house.

She was currently holding on to a needle doing embroidery.

"Master." A male respectfully reported from outside the bamboo curtain, "A piece of news has come from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion."

"What's the matter?" This girl indifferently responded. There was no voice coming from her. It directly permeated into the other party's soul.

The male could not help but feel his heart tightening. He understood how frightening his mater was, and immediately answered with respect: "The newest inner disciple from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, 'Ying Shan Xue Ying', has just gotten through the God Yuan Palace sixth level. He has cultivated only for 5.5 million years."

"Oh? Send an invitation to my banquet over to him." The girl's voice contained a strand of delight.

Chapter 1026: Qian Yi Clan and Fan Clan

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Master, he is called Ying Shan Xue Ying, and is a disciple from the Southern Cloud Nation, Ying Shan Clan." The male kneeling outside reminded, "Old Mother Ying Shan is an enemy of our Qian Yi Clan."

"Hmph, my Qian Yi Clan has never placed that Old Mother Ying Shan in our eyes before. It is merely Old Mother Ying Shan who keeps holding on to the vengeance." That violet-robed girl within the bamboo house sneered, "There is no need to bother about that old granny. Just send my invitation to that Ying Shan Xue Ying. As for whether he wants to come or not? That is none of my business."

"Yes." The male respectfully acknowledged.

Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, Xue Ying was currently seated cross-legged before his own cavern-dwelling. He sat on a mountain peak beside the coast breathing in the beautiful breeze of the world. He was presently focusing on deducing his own cultivation technique.

There was no other way.

He did not dare to try out moves that were too profound within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. One must know that he had finished training the first ten styles of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", leaving just the final two styles left incomplete. He was trying to grasp those two final styles currently, and the moment he attempted to practice those moves, Xue Ying was sure it would be perceived by the array spirit established by the Southern Cloud King!

Both the Southern Cloud Capital and the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion were essential to the king. It was the territory where he spent a long time building.

This place had stringent security. No holes in it would be left open.

Even the cultivation rooms of disciples were monitored by the array spirit. The moment any 'holes' were left open, enemies would definitely make use of them and utilize it to assault the entire Southern Cloud Capital. Given how formidable the Southern Cloud King was, it was impossible for him to leave behind such gaps. One must know that the Great Void Heaven Temple had no place left unmonitored too!

Under normal circumstances, when disciples cultivated within their cultivation room, the Southern Cloud King would not care.

Unless unforeseen circumstances happened!

A young fellow of just five million years old could actually start practicing a technique at the God Yuan Palace ninth level? That was too strange! His actions would definitely be reported upwards by the array spirit.

'With the status of Southern Cloud King, he should know that there are outsiders who reincarnated into this origin world right?' Xue Ying thought, 'I wonder what attitude the king has.'

Was it goodwill?

Or malicious intention?

And whether the number one expert of the primal chaos void, 'Sacred Master' had relations with the Realm Heart Great Land?

Currently, Xue Ying's status had not reached that level yet. He knew too little, and hence, wasn't willing to gamble! He dared not leave his fate in the hands of someone else. Thus, the most rational decision would be to act as if he was a real talent! Xue Ying would grow according to the category of era geniuses within the Realm Heart Great Land.

He would not be considered as the most talented one in the six great ancient nations, but it was okay if he was the most talented cultivator within the Southern Cloud Nation!

'I've learned quite a few precious techniques within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, which means I could simply return back to Ardent Fire City now.' Xue Ying thought. The tiny area, Ardent Fire City, was a much safer place. The security measures there were not as strict as that within the Southern Cloud Capital! With his current realm, it was impossible for Marquis Ardent Fire to discover his secrets.

Only in the Ardent Fire City would it be most appropriate for him to cultivate all he wanted, and practice the powerful moves.

"Hu."

A figure flew over from the distant.

'He is here.' Xue Ying felt a jolt of joy in his heart.

He was not in a rush to leave after learning all the techniques precisely because he was waiting for this day!

"Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying." A black-robed male smiled from outside, "I am Tian Chun Xue, a disciple who joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion earlier than you did."

"Senior Disciple Brother Tian." Xue Ying greeted.

"I came according to my master's order to invite junior disciple brother over for a banquet." The black-robed male waved his hand. A dull violet invitation letter flew over.

Xue Ying received it. The moment he saw the two words 'Qian Yi', he frowned. After that, his expression became much colder. He flipped through the invitation letter, reading through the content before casually throwing back: "Bring it back with you."

The black-robed male frowned: "Why? Are you thinking of not showing respect for my master?"

"That time, your Qian Yi Clan has schemed against my Old Ancestor. Have you all forgotten it?" Xue Ying gave a cold snort.

"Good."

The black-robed male snorted back before turning and left–rather hastily at that.

Xue Ying silently watched on.

Actually, he stayed in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion precisely because he was waiting for someone. But that person was not from the Qian Yi Clan.

Within the Southern Cloud Capital, three organizations existed that loved befriending experts. One was in the faction under the crown prince! The crown prince was a child that the Southern Cloud King had when he was weak. Even though his talent was slightly weaker, the Southern Cloud King pampered him a lot. This instead resulted in a bossy temperament which the crown prince had! He was someone who exceptionally liked befriending experts from all over the place.

But his scope of view was slightly higher–he would only invite those who were at least at the Primal Chaos realm! And only those who were powerful or had a huge background. He would disdain those who were weaker on either.

Xue Ying came from the Ying Shan Clan and was only a Unity realm expert. It was likely that he would not fall into the scope of view of that bossy 'crown prince'.

As for the other two organizations that loved befriending experts, both came from the six great ancient nations.

One was Qian Yi Clan from the Moonflower Ancient Nation. The Moonflower Ancient Nation was practically at the bottom amongst the six great ancient nations and was comparable to the Towering Sky Ancient Nation! Nevertheless, it was different from the low-profile Towering Sky Ancient Nation that always remained in hibernation. The Moonflower Ancient Nation focused more on transacting businesses. One could find experts from this nation practically across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. They permeated into various places in search of many ancient remnants left behind by powerful experts; they sought for treasures, absolute arts, and others.

The Qian Yi Clan was a colossal clan with a total of eight Cosmos Gods backing it!

'Qian Yi Xiao' was the chief manager of the Qian Yi Clan situated in the Southern Cloud Nation. She was a huge expert at the ninth level and liked befriending with everyone. At the same time, she was increasing the influencing power of the Moonflower Ancient Nation within the Southern Cloud Nation subtly.

It's a pity…

The Qian Yi Clan had schemed against Old Mother Ying Shan during an adventure to an ancient remnant for the sake of treasures. With the violent temper which Old Mother Ying Shan had, both parties fiercely fought with each other. Nevertheless, the Moonflower Ancient Nation was ultimately one of the six great ancient nations–they surpassed the Southern Cloud Nation in power. A Qian Yi Clan alone had a total of eight Cosmos Gods, of which the Southern Cloud King intervened in the end. Old Mother Ying Shan could only bear this loss she suffered.

'She is here.'

Xue Ying saw a female figure flying over from afar.

That was a girl garbed in a light blue gown. As she flew over, she smiled: "Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying, I am Fan Fei Qi and is your Senior Disciple Sister! I came here under orders from my elder brother to invite you over for a banquet." Saying that a black-gold invitation letter flew over.

Xue Ying received it.

The letter had a single character–'Fan'–on it.

Fan Clan…

That was the clan he wanted to meet!

Other than the faction under the crown prince, 'Qian Yi Xiao' from the Qian Yi Clan of Moonflower Ancient Nation, the other organization was led by 'Fan Tian Chong', also from the Fan Clan of Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

The crown prince was slightly more domineering. He did things primarily for his reputation and would take rash actions.

Only Qian Yi Xiao and Fan Tian Chong were genuinely befriending all experts with potential. Xue Ying had reached the God Yuan Palace sixth level within five million years. He was clearly spotted by both and were recognized as a huge and upcoming character within the Southern Cloud Nation.

'Fan Tian Chong.' Xue Ying thought.

Fan Tian Chong, being the chief manager of the Fan Clan branch in the Southern Cloud Nation, as long as he befriended the other party, by then, it was possible for him to show the spearhead to Xue Ying. It was merely a look, and Xue Ying believed Fan Tian Chong would not reject.

'I've stayed in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion until now all for the sake of thoroughly looking at that spearhead and view its profound mysteries.' Xue Ying thought. Even though he had would only be looking through it once, he would remember most of the profound mysteries inherent. Xue Ying was confident of comprehending more of the Dao of Void according to the profound mysteries in the complete spear belonging to 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master'. Even though Xue Ying had comprehended just part of it, he was confident that the complete absolute art was not any weaker than the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

Of course, the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles was easier to learn since it was a complete absolute art.

The difficulty of learning the profound mysteries within the spear would likely be ten to a hundred times harder. It required him to ponder over it carefully. But with his foundation, Xue Ying was still confident of doing so. Furthermore, by relying on this spear, he would be able to unleash a stronger power!

"Alright. I'll definitely attend the banquet tonight." Xue Ying smiled.

"Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying, I'll come and pick you up tonight then." The light-blue-gowned girl, Fan Fei Qi giggled. She had a relatively good impression of this young man in front of her.

Night had descended.

On the carriage, Fan Fei Qi and Xue Ying were both seated next to each other. Other protectors and servants stood by the side. Xue Ying merely brought Magic Servant Zi Bai with him.

"Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying, we have arrived." Fan Fei Qi pointed ahead.

'The Fan Clan is indeed powerful.' Xue Ying looked afar. The mansion in the distance was huge and spanned across the horizon, 'The official residence of the Fan Clan in the Southern Cloud Nation is even bigger than the Ardent Fire Marquisdom.'

The Fan Clan was one of the three great clans from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

The two other great clans from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation were more aloof. They disdained other nations, and were not willing to set up branches in other countries! Only the 'Fan Clan' crazily permeated its web of power across every single part of the Realm Heart Great Land.

In reality, the ultra-huge clans that could rank in the top ten within the Realm Heart Great Land were all filled with pride and arrogance. That was normal. After all, they were all too powerful and were disdainful of befriending some small little nations! In their opinions, they would instead focus their attention on meditating and cultivation to become even more powerful!

There were very few ultra-huge clans that would be so crazy in permeating their forces throughout the origin world.

'A clan with the power to suppress the Towering Sky Ancient Nation. If they are willing, they could easily annihilate the entire Southern Cloud Nation. Most likely only the king could escape.' Xue Ying muttered inwardly.

The Fan Clan…

Was too powerful. He had read through many different books in the Book Repository Realm within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and understood quite a lot on the 'Fan Clan'.

The Fan Clan represented 'tyranny', 'savage', 'ruthless', and 'slaughter'. It was the only great clan out of the three within the Summer Wind Ancient Nation that liked waging war outside the nation. Even Southern Cloud King who was an absolute hero of the era had to smile and welcome the Fan Clan politely.

Many genius talents were willing to join the Fan Clan and become their honored guests. They would thus be loyal and fight for the Fan Clan!

Within the towering and luxurious palace hall.

It was already filled with many cultivators. They were scattered around talking to each other. A tall and plump male sat on the head position.

"Big Brother Tian Chong." Fan Fei Qi loudly shouted the moment she entered, "My Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying has arrived."

Fan Tian Chong sat there smiling at Xue Ying. He said with a loud voice and a smile: "Prince Xue Ying, I've long heard of an era transcendent emerging from the Southern Cloud Nation. If you respect me, you can just call me Big Brother Tian Chong. That'll be fine. Come! Hurry up and go to your seat. In a while, the 'Flying Lip Beast Banquet' will start. The meat from the Flying Lip Beast will be eaten as it is made. The moment we delay a little, its taste would deteriorate."

"Many thanks, Big Brother Tian Chong." Xue Ying bowed humbly.

Since the other party was polite, Xue Ying would not hesitate to reciprocate.

He was clear…

Fan Tian Chong was the chief manager of the Fan Clan's branch in Southern Cloud Nation. Being the highest commander here, he had reached the Primal Chaos tenth level power, and could fight against Cosmos Gods! More importantly, he could mobilize a vast power belonging to the Fan Clan. If one said that the 'Southern Cloud King' was unquestionably the strongest power in the Southern Cloud Nation, the Fan Clan would be ranked second.

Fan Tian Chong was vaguely known to be the second person in power within the entire Southern Cloud Nation.

'Fan Tian Chong cultivates the "Sky-Rending Great Magic Sutra" which is kept confidential within the Fan Clan. He has endless power, and his body is so strong that it matches a secret treasure weapon.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly. According to the intelligence which he gathered, the fleshy body of Fan Tian Chong was one level higher than that of reaching the tenth level great perfection in "Southern Cloud Sacred Body". It's a pity this "Sky-Rending Great Magic Sutra" was kept confidential within the Fan Clan out of reach from the public.

'He is powerful, and according to rumors, he is the favorite disciple of 'Sky-Rending Great Paragon'. That was why he could take charge of a slightly more important country like the Southern Cloud Nation.' Xue Ying thought.

"Haha…"

The hall was filled with loud and bright touches of laughter. Those who participated in the banquet were chatting with each other.

"That is also because of that old fool from the Snow Hook Nation. He relied on the fact that he was a Cosmos God, and thus underestimated me who is a Primal Chaos giant. He actually fought against me head-on, and that was why I could smash him into heavy injuries." Fan Tian Chong laughed, "It's a pity that he escaped pretty quick. Otherwise, I might just smash him to death."

"He is indeed foolish to dare fight against Big Brother Tian Chong. He could blame no one but himself."

"So what if he is a Cosmos God? Isn't it the same that he was forced into escape after being beaten by Big Brother Tian Chong?"

"That madman from the Snow Hook Nation is also seeking for death. He only knows how to disrupt our affair."

There was quite a few cultivators present that liked boasting.

Fan Tian Chong sneered: "Snow Hook Nation? Of the Black Devil Four Nations, the Snow Hook Nation always overestimates their capabilities. They keep going against my Summer Wind Ancient Nation and set themselves against my Fan Clan! Hmph, there would be one day when we give them a severe lesson."

"Eh."

Fan Tian Chong suddenly revealed a grin. He looked towards the distance.

An enormous cooking cauldron was being carried out currently. Within this cooking cauldron, there was a mutated beast within that was about to be cooked. The main chef himself was cutting the meat and was sending out several other accompanying beverages together with it.

"Quickly come and have a taste. Prince Xue Ying, this is your first time coming to my place. This Flying Lip Beast is what I liked to eat the most. It's a pity that capturing it is too hard." Fan Tian Chong grinned, "Almost half the Flying Lip Beasts discovered in the Black Devil Four Nations had landed up over here with me, but I can only occasionally enjoy it."

Saying that Fan Tian Chong waved his hand, sending the first plate of Flying Lip Beast meat that was cut over to where Xue Ying was.

Even though there were quite a few guests present here today, this banquet had been prepared primarily to welcome Xue Ying! As this was Xue Ying's first time here, even though Fan Tian Chong had the highest status, he remained delighted in befriending those with potential. In his opinion, it should be fine for Xue Ying to reach the ninth level with his potential.

As for the tenth level?

That was too difficult to say! Just speaking from the difficulty of cultivation alone, it was similar to creating a ninth level move at the Primal Chaos realm by the cultivator himself. Furthermore, it had to be accompanied by some secret technique and a secret treasure accompanying this technique, before one could unleash a tenth level power.

"Many thanks, Big Brother Tian Chong." Xue Ying received the plate.

The banquet proceeded.

There were also music and performances by the side. As everyone chatted, Fan Tian Chong would also occasionally speak with Xue Ying.

"Prince Xue Ying, I've heard that you have already reached the God Yuan Palace sixth level strength. I am also at the God Yuan Palace sixth level strength. How do you think of exchanging moves with me?" A teenaged protector standing beside a guest announced.

"How audacious! Do you think this is a place for you to shout?" That guest who sat there enjoying the Flying Lip Beast meat turned sullen at that instant as he roared.

Fan Tian Chong merely laughed: "Brother Pang Bo, today is a happy day, and it is always exciting to have some fights. It is now whether Prince Xue Ying is interested in it or not?"

Xue Ying understood as he listened.

This challenge should be arranged by Fan Tian Chong. He wanted to understand if Xue Ying's strength was real or fake.

"Those who dare to challenge others here should have the power to hold his words up. But still, it will only make things interesting to fight in front of the fellow cultivators here." Xue Ying stood and said with a smile. Magic Servant Zi Bai transmitted by his side: "Prince, I've observed that cultivator. He should specialize in the blade technique. Blade techniques are usually savage and ruthless, so prince must remember to be careful."

Xue Ying merely smiled.

His eye of discerning was so much more profound than Magic Servant Zi Bai. With a step, he arrived at the center of the hall.

"Good." Fan Tian Chong and others roared in excitement as they spectated from the side.

"Prince Xue Ying, you must be careful." That teenaged protector also took a step to reach the center of the hall enthusiastically. He stood facing Xue Ying.

"Go on and make your move." Xue Ying announced.

"Aren't you using a weapon?" The teenaged protector asked.

"I temporarily do not plan on using one. But if you are able to force me to use my weapon, I'll naturally use it." Xue Ying said.

"Good."

The pupils of the teenaged protector dilated. He was actually a named disciple under the honored guest of Fan Clan, 'Pang Bo'. As his strength was apt, Pang Bo had chosen him to challenge Prince Xue Ying this time.

This was also a rare chance for him to display his power in front of the Fan Clan who was part of the higher society within the Southern Cloud.

"Receive my move." The teenaged protector shouted.

"Xiu."

His figure flashed. He formed a blood afterimage as he leaped towards Xue Ying. Within that blood afterimage, a blood-colored blade light could be seen.

"Brother Pang Bo, this young fellow has cultivated to quite an amazing stage in your Blood Shadow Blade."

"Slightly interesting."

The guests present chatted and praised.

"Peng."

Xue Ying remained standing at his original position. He extended his finger and tapped out in space. That blade light immediately froze. Xue Ying's finger had coincidentally tapped on the sharpest point of the blade, and also the convergence of all the force. "Hong~" A ringing sound could be heard as the blade was forced to vibrate. In the end, that teenaged protector flew back from the impact out of his control.

'How can this be? How could he coincidentally tap at the strongest point in my shadow blade technique?' The teenaged protector felt startled in his heart, 'Impossible. It must be luck.'

The shadow blade was known for being unpredictable. Being an expert at the God Yuan Palace sixth level, he did not dare believe that his opponent could easily break apart the illusion of his blade technique.

"Hu."

The teenaged protector once again charged forward after forming images. This time, his figure moved in an even more unpredictable motion, and the blade light let out a greater whistling sound. It drove like a wave, and many blade lights came continuously–it felt illusory.

Xue Ying remained at his original position. When the blade light converged on him, he merely tapped out with a finger yet again.

Chapter 1028: Body Technique

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

As his fingertip pointed on the sharpest point of the blade, everything seemed to freeze. The point where Xue Ying tapped on shattered apart! This power from the void exploding forced that teenaged protector to fly backward.

For the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion to rely on "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" to become famous across the Realm Heart Great Land and become one of the top ten great religions, this absolute art was naturally powerful.

'How? How could it be?" His move seems so simple and straightforward, yet it easily broke apart my shadow blade?' That teenaged protector did not dare believe it as he continued flying forward. Nevertheless, Xue Ying merely tapped out with his fingertip time after time. No matter how the other party attacked, he would be forced back by Xue Ying. This continued for a total of nine times.

"This Prince Xue Ying is indeed formidable. He has reached the God Yuan Palace sixth level in his realm genuinely without relying on the "Southern Cloud Sacred Body"."

"Yes, it seems his control of the void is amazing. He can easily break apart the shadow blade technique."

"He is more powerful than expected."

Everyone continued chatting through voice transmissions.

This banquet was held for the sake of Xue Ying. It was also organized for others to determine the potential of this Prince Xue Ying.

There were two ways of using the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". One was relying purely on the realm. Even without cultivating the sacred body, the cultivator could still unleash a powerful move! The other relied entirely on the sacred body as a result of a weaker realm.

For instance, a Unity realm eighth level move.

In theory, a Unity expert could only exert seventh level force and comparable with a Primal Chaos expert!

But by relying on the '"Southern Cloud Sacred Body" that reached the eighth level', it would be much easier to unleash techniques at that level–one merely had to comprehend a small section of it!

Similar logic!

To wield a force at the tenth level, one had to rely on the tenth level grand perfection "Southern Cloud Sacred Body". It was impossible to reach this strength just by relying on the realm solely. Because a technique with a tenth level force contained the profound mysteries at the level of Cosmos God. But by relying on the tenth level grand perfection "Southern Cloud Sacred Body", it would be much easier to utilize moves at the tenth level–one just had to comprehend part of the profound mysteries.

Both "Southern Cloud Sacred Body" and the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" supported each other. A different body cultivation technique would be useless towards enhancing the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles".

"Just these few techniques? You should receive some moves of mine too." Xue Ying announced with a smile. He finally began killing his way over.

He deliberately broke apart the techniques of the other party nine times to show his capabilities to Fan Tian Chong and the others!

The real motive of him joining this banquet this time was all because of earning a chance to view that spearhead!

"Hu."

Xue Ying's figure suddenly rushed out, yet it strangely turned into nine figures. All these figures charged out in different directions at the teenaged protector.

"What?" The teenaged protector was slightly panicking. In his perception, all nine figures were real.

In reality.

The nine figures were all real. Xue Ying's speed was so fast that his 'body' had simultaneously cut the void nine times, and thus forming nine bodies.

Using his body to cut the void, that was using an offensive technique within the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" as a body technique.

"Hu."

Xue Ying flitted past the teenaged protector. With a wave of his hand, all nine figures swept past and caused the body of the protector to be cut nine times. But closely following that, his body completely recovered.

"Sou."

Xue Ying had already returned back to his original position. He then looked back at that teenaged protector.

That protector's expression was slightly pale and red. The Fan Clan was originally a tyrannical and ruthless clan. His teacher, 'Pang Bo' relied on the Fan Clan and had followed the principle of the strong feasting on the weak even when guiding his disciples. The weak died, and the strong survived. This selection went on continuously. It was rare for him to get the chance to fight for some respect for his teacher, yet he lost so bitterly.

"Why aren't you withdrawing!" Pang Bo roared out from the side.

"Yes." The teenaged protector immediately retreated.

"This comprehension capability of yours is extraordinary, Prince Xue Ying." Pang Bo praised, "You have not only perfectly utilized the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", but you have also even deduced a body technique from the offensive technique of the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles". This has transcended beyond the absolute art. Truly a genius."

Pang Bo felt appreciative of Xue Ying.

He had many disciples and had quite a few personal ones. But none of them had a comprehension ability comparable to this Prince Xue Ying.

It's a pity…

That this Prince Xue Ying was too dazzling. He, Pang Bo, was just an honored guest and was not qualified to receive this genius as a disciple.

"For you to turn an offensive technique into a body technique. That is amazing indeed." Fan Tian Chong praised him too.

"Beautiful."

"Watching Prince Xue Ying reminds me of those days when I just cultivated for five million years. I still recalled that time, I was still an ordinary disciple in a little religion in Summer Wind Ancient Nation." Many guests gave their praises too.

They understood.

That for Xue Ying to reach this realm in just five million years without being restricted by the original technique, and to procure the essence of the method and transform into a new technique himself, meant that he had a fantastic talent that dumbstruck all of them! As long as he did not fall, it was certain for Xue Ying to reach the ninth level in the future.

One had to know that the strongest amongst them–honored guests and guests, was only at the ninth level.

As for reaching the tenth level?

Fan Tian Chong would not randomly invite them over. He was after all holding this banquet just to welcome Xue Ying.

The banquet finally ended.

The guests started leaving one by one. Fan Tian Chong and Fan Fei Qi personally went to send Xue Ying off.

"Prince Xue Ying, if you have any matter in the future, you can come and find me. No matter if it is within the Southern Cloud Nation or other nations, there are few matters which my Fan Clan cannot resolve." Fan Tian Chong smiled.

"Big Brother Tian Chong." Xue Ying immediately started, "Talking about that, I do have a matter which I would like to ask Big Brother Tian Chong for help."

Fan Fei Qi was startled from the side.

Fan Tian Chong was also slightly stunned.

He had just finished telling the other party that 'he could come and find me in the future', yet this Prince Xue Ying immediately requested him the next moment. It was honestly 'thick-skinned'. One had to know that even when the Fan Clan went to conduct something, they had to fork out an equivalent price too.

"You say." Fan Tian Chong continued maintaining his smile.

Even though he felt displeased in his heart, it was because Prince Xue Ying was too young.

"I feel kind of shameful to ask this." Xue Ying said, "That time, I actually saw a spearhead in one of the shops within Southern Cloud Capital that are owned by the Fan Clan. I heard that it was a spearhead left behind by Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master. That spear seems to be a void-related secret treasure, which garnered my interest. That time, I wanted to personally have a more thorough look, yet it was a pity that the manager did not allow me to have a look. That was why I had to shamelessly ask Big Brother Tian Chong for help. Is it possible for me to have a closer look at that spearhead?"

"Just this matter?" Fan Tian Chong began laughing involuntarily.

He thought the other party wanted to ask for something huge.

But it was merely getting a closer look at a secret treasure that was sold in a shop owned by his clan? He knew of that spearhead too. Even though it was formidable, the spearhead was incomplete and could not be sold at a high price. The bottom limit of the clan was just 300 million cosmos crystals.

"Haha, why the need to ask me about such a small matter." Fan Tian Chong felt that this Prince Xue Ying was slightly cute. He was 'shamelessly asking him' about such a small matter.

"You are currently a good friend of I, Fan Tian Chong. From now on, you will be a VIP in all the shops owned by my Fan Clan. It is fine for you to have a look even at that Cloud Great Hammer which is ten times more expensive." Fan Tian Chong said, "Just go over and take a look. That manager will not dare to hinder you."

Xue Ying felt his heart relaxing.

He was not interested in the Shop Protection Treasure at all! He desired that spearhead the most. Even though he could not afford it, he would not be so foolish to beg the other party for it. Even though Fan Tian Chong paid importance to him, a treasure worth a few hundred million cosmos crystals would only be given to him if he sold himself to the Fan Clan.

Even though he could not afford it now, it was okay to just comprehend the profound mysteries in the spearhead.

"Many thanks, Big Brother Tian Chong. I'll go over at this moment." Xue Ying felt slightly impatient.

"You ah, you ah, hahaha, just go." Fan Tian Chong laughed. This Prince Xue Ying was truly interesting.

Chapter 1029: Returning to Ardent Fire City

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

An hour later.

Xue Ying had already brought Magic Servant Zi Bai to the Fan Clan shop. Even though it was late at night, the entire Treasured Goods Market was still bright and bustling with activity.

"Prince Xue Ying, my clan master has already given orders for me to wait for you." There was already a plump old man standing outside by the door of the Fan Clan shop. He welcomed Xue Ying with a smile. If this was a cultivator at similar power, he would definitely pay greater regard to his reputation, and would definitely not be waiting outside the shop so enthusiastically for a Unity realm genius.

But this plump old man was a magic servant and had to completely follow the orders of his master.

"I apologize for the trouble, manager." Xue Ying mentioned.

"Prince Xue Ying, this way please." The plump old man enthusiastically guided the way. The party soon arrived on the third floor. Currently, since it was late at night, there were not many guests in the shop. The third floor was empty without a single soul on it.

Xue Ying did not waste time. He directly walked to that spearhead. This spearhead was floating in midair, and it was emitting spatial fluctuations that caused space to fold. Many levels of forbidding arrays wrapped around this spearhead like how a shell would wrap around the yolk.

"Please wait a moment."

The plump old man said. He then began controlling the array. One could see the layers of forbidding array expanding to a size just enough to wrap around Xue Ying within. A breath later, the layers of egg-shell-like forbidding array expanded a to a few meters long with Xue Ying situated entirely inside.

"Prince Xue Ying, you may proceed now." The plump old man smiled.

"Many thanks."

Xue Ying thanked the old man before turning back to the floating spearhead in front. The original owner of this spearhead, the 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master' had already fallen during the first War of the Ancient Nations. In other words, the existence of this spear had been there even longer than the six great ancient nations! It was hard to find out if there were any more stories behind this spear that made it break into two.

"Chi chi chi", the spearhead was always causing the surrounding space to fold. Many spatial fluctuations could be seen with the naked eyes.

Xue Ying then extended his hand onto this spearhead.

The spearhead felt cold. It was vaguely giving off an endless sharpness that felt like tearing his hand apart. But Xue Ying had ultimately cultivated the "Southern Cloud Sacred Body" to the sixth level. How could he be injured by this incomplete weapon? Much less Xue Ying had a formidable control of the void.

"Weng."

Xue Ying closed his eyes. He sent his consciousness in.

"Hong!"

There was a wave of ringing in his mind. Xue Ying could clearly perceive the elaborate and dark, unpredictable maelstrom stairways rapidly converging at its core. That time when Xue Ying was merely comprehending the spear body, he was looking at it with blurred vision! Currently, after scrutinizing at the spearhead, he discovered that the elaborate maelstrom stairway could be divided into three sections. The three parts eventually converged into a single point.

That point was the final limit of the maelstrom stairway, and it seemed to be a new beginning!

Xue Ying could sense that after the final point of convergence, things would soon explode! The spearhead's tip was currently not being controlled by an owner; nobody was activating the mystical imprints on it, yet it could cause the void to fold and produce many fluctuations. Clearly, this final convergence point contained a horrifying destructive power on the void.

'If I fuse it with the mystical imprints on the spear body…'

Xue Ying was rapidly deducing it in his mind.

He was currently piecing both the mystical imprints he discovered on the spear body with what he now found out.

And it came out as the complete secret treasure mystical imprint.

'I am the core, and also the origin of space! Everything will be controlled by me.'

'A spear piercing out onto a single point of convergence will produce a power that I dare not imagine.'

The more Xue Ying deduced, the more he felt how vast and unfathomable the imprint was.

With his current realm, he could deduce that the imprints should have incorporated two great moves. One was turning the self into the origin of space and relying on it to control the surrounding void. This was a domain technique. The other method was to converge within a chaotic space. When the convergence reached its primal point, it would produce a destructive power that Xue Ying did not dare imagine.

Even though he had obtained the complete version of "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" currently which contained two imparted techniques at the tenth level power.

These two techniques that were imparted privately…

In terms of the realm, they were far weaker than the tyrannical concept within the spear. Even though Xue Ying had not grasped the concept, his current realm had reached quite a high level, and for the latter to give off a threatening suppressive sensation was something he could reason from.

'Amazing.'

'The mystical imprints within the spear aren't merely at the tenth level of Primal Chaos realm. They should be higher.' Xue Ying understood this point. The Fan Clan's Great Paragon Lu Tian had even admitted that this Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master wasn't any weaker than him. One could see how extraordinary it was.

Great Paragon Lu Tian…

Xue Ying was clear that this was an existence ranked at the front amidst the Cosmos Gods in the Fan Clan.

'Remember it.'

'I must try my best to remember this concept.' Xue Ying began memorizing it.

Nevertheless, the mystical imprints within this spearhead were too complicated and profound. After all, how could this weapon that Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master used to move unhindered in the Realm Heart Great Land be something Xue Ying at his current ninth level comprehend?

He could barely remember part of the profound mysteries.

Only by diligently pondering and understanding a little more could he memorize the more profound mysteries.

The plump old man stood by the side waiting exceptionally patiently. It was just over time, other guests came to visit the third floor, which the stout old man had to go and receive them.

'It has been four hours, yet he is still looking at it?' The plump old male felt puzzled. He looked at the white-robed young man grabbing the spearhead, 'This Prince Xue Ying likes that incomplete secret treasure so much that he is holding it for so long? Even so, what can he see from it?'

Comprehending the secret treasure and understanding the absolute art from therein?

The plump old male did not care about that before because comprehending the absolute art within the secret treasure was a task ten to a hundred times harder than learning from absolute art scriptures! Furthermore, it required the cultivator to comprehend in periods of hundreds of million years. So what if the other party scrutinized the weapon for a day within the shop? It was impossible for the other party to memorize the mystical imprints; he could barely learn part of it.

"Hu."

Xue Ying finally opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with a strand of regret as he placed down the spearhead unwillingly.

"Many thanks, manager." Xue Ying let go of the spearhead, causing it to regain its state of floating.

"Haha, this is just a minor matter." The plump old male immediately controlled the layers of forbidding arrays, bringing it back to its original size in a few breaths of time.

Xue Ying glanced at that spearhead.

The domain technique could be comprehended by relying on the spear body. This time, he had even seen through the complete imprint. Xue Ying believed that it wasn't hard creating a domain technique at the eighth level himself. By relying on the spear body, he could even reach the ninth level.

But offense wise?

Xue Ying understood that the offense of this spear went in a different direction from what the "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles" had. Furthermore, its offensive strength was genuinely frightening.

It's a pity that he merely had a spear body. Xue Ying could temporarily not memorize everything from the spearhead in this short fleeting period. It was not bad for him to comprehend a technique at the sixth or seventh level power.

'No matter what, I've currently seen the complete mystical imprints of the spear. From now on, I should have a clearer direction of where I should comprehend.' Xue Ying thought. For instance, he already had a vague concept of 'emitting self as the point of origin' for the domain technique. If not for seeing the spearhead, Xue Ying would have to take an indeterminate time before he could reach that concept.

"Zi Bai, let us leave." Xue Ying ordered.

"Yes, Prince." Magic Servant Zi Bai glanced at the spear. He murmured inwardly–why did this prince of his like that incomplete secret treasure spearhead so much?

Early the next day.

Xue Ying brought Magic Servant Zi Bai, Tian Yi Zhi, his female attendant Yan Yu and others away from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and set off back to the Ardent Fire City!

The many absolute art scriptures he desired to acquire had been gotten. He even comprehended part of the imprints in the spearhead.

Since he could not use all his strength to practice his techniques, it would be better for him to return back to the Ardent Fire City!

'The next time I come to the capital will be the day I buy that spearhead.' Xue Ying thought. Whether it was for getting an appropriate secret treasure weapon or to comprehend the absolute art belonging to Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master, Xue Ying wanted that spearhead!

Chapter 1030: Dong Bo Xue Ying's shock

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Ardent Fire City. The Ardent Fire Marquisdom was crowded today. They had gotten news that Prince Xue Ying would be returning!

"Prince Xue Ying has already left from the teleportation array. He'll be reaching the Marquisdom soon."

The news passed really quickly.

By the entrance of the Marquisdom, all the elders had already arrived including Ying Shang Lie Hu and Rong Xing Lan. All of them were looking forward with excitement. Marquis Ardent Fire had even appeared personally by the entrance of the Marquisdom. As for other disciples within the Marquisdom, they were here even earlier–even 'Ying Shan Zhong Fu', the son of Chan Yu Yan Zhen, had come.

"Lie Hu, this son of yours is extraordinary. I've heard that he has already crossed through the God Yuan Palace sixth level. How long has he entered the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion for?"

"This comprehension ability and talent… he is really amazing. Truly astounding. In the future, he might even become a Conferred King. By then, our Ying Shan Clan would have two Conferred Kings."

The elders who were usually haughty were currently conversing enthusiastically with Ying Shan Lie Hu.

Ying Shan Lie Hu merely grinned. He bit his lips.

Delightful! Exhilarating!

This feeling of being respected satisfied Ying Shan Lie Hu.

"He is back."

The surrounding suddenly became quiet. Nobody dared to chat or make a din. They were watching as a handsome white-robed young man flew over with a black-robed male fanning himself. Tian Yi Zhi, the female attendant Yan Yu, two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and other subordinates were also following closely behind them.

They had already heard of who that black-robed male fanning himself was–the famous 'Senior Zi Bai' that came from the ancestral family, also rumored to be a powerful Primal Chaos realm magic servant. His status was higher than the ordinary clan elders.

"He is indeed Prince Xue Ying to make a Primal Chaos Magic Servant be his protector."

"When will it be that I can have one be my protector too? To be treated so grandly by everyone is something that I don't mind dying for."

All of them were watching with sheer envy.

When Xue Ying saw the crowd of people welcoming him by the entrance of the Marquisdom, he immediately rushed over and shouted: "Grandpa Marquis, mother, father."

"Hahaha, Xue Ying, you have greatly boosted the reputation of our Ying Shan Clan. I have already gotten transmissions from quite a few friends of mine, telling me that you have already succeeded in crossing through the sixth level of God Yuan Palace!" Marquis Ardent Fire said with great gusto. He was delighted, "Those old friends of mine have mentioned that it is possible for you to become a Conferred King in the future with your comprehension abilities. But you must remember not to be complacent. After all, you haven't reached the Primal Chaos realm now."

"Xue Ying understands." Xue Ying replied.

"Mn." Marquis Ardent Fire nodded with a smile, "Let's go! We have prepared a banquet within the Marquisdom to congratulate you in becoming an inner disciple as well as crossing through the sixth level. Talking about that, I aren't even a disciple of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion."

There were very few official disciples of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

Even fewer disciples came from within the nation.

Usually, they would either be some huge genius, or a Primal Chaos giant with a void lineage. Naturally, those powerful like 'Old Mother Ying Shan' had been invited over to become an elder of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion! As for Marquis Ardent Fire, with his power, he was not qualified to become an elder.

The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion… in reality, was also the nation protecting religion for the Southern Cloud Nation. With the three Cosmos Gods and many Conferred Kings, they were considered part of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

While Xue Ying was participating in the Marquisdom's celebratory banquet, within the Ying Shan ancestral family.

"Hu hu…"

The gale was blowing harshly.

On top of a snowy mountain peak.

Old Mother Ying Shan sat cross-legged on a huge stone. Her consciousness had fused in one entity with the whole Ying Shan Clan–her breaths were one with it. At this moment, the Ying Shan Clan was in her senses.

"Old Mother, Prince has returned to the Marquisdom. Yesterday night, he attended the banquet prepared by the Fan Clan's 'Fan Tian Chong'." Magic Servant Zi Bai reported everything that happened recently.

"Tell me in detail, and I'll listen to them."

"Yes. During the banquet, there was a protector who challenged Prince…"

Old Mother Ying Shan was listening to Magic Servant Zi Bai's report. Hearing how Xue Ying revealed Xue Ying's great combat skills made her reveal a grin. Good! He did not rely on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Instead, his realm had reached a sufficient stage. Furthermore, he had adapted the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles into his own body technique. This comprehension skill was really terrifying. But the more frightening it was, the happier Old Mother Ying Shan would be since he was a disciple from the Ying Shan Clan.

"My Ying Shan Clan has finally seen an absolute genius appearing." Old Mother Ying Shan was ecstatic.

But what she did not know.

Was that in Xue Ying's plan, he wanted to sculpt himself as the most exceptional talent across the entire Southern Cloud Nation. He had no choice. Xue Ying did not wish to restrain himself and not reveal his skills. But he had to take it easy as well–to remain weaker than the most heaven-defying talents in the six great ancient nations.

There were absolutely some geniuses who came from the six great ancient nations who seemed more exaggerated than Xue Ying. But Xue Ying suspected that those geniuses might be reincarnated. Hence, it was better for him to control himself slightly–it sufficed to be the top genius within Southern Cloud Nation.

"After the banquet, he asked Fan Tian Chong for help. He sought to see an incomplete secret treasure spearhead within the Fan Clan's shop." Magic Servant Zi Bai continued.

"An incomplete secret treasure spearhead?" Old Mother Ying Shan felt puzzled.

"Yes. The Prince likes that secret treasure spearhead a lot. When he first came to the Southern Cloud Nation, he fell in love with it! I've heard that the incomplete secret treasure was left behind by a powerful expert from before the first War of the Ancient Nations, 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master'. That time, the Fan Clan's shop manager did not permit Prince from scrutinizing that spearhead."

"This time, Prince actually held onto the spearhead for four full hours before letting it go in the end. On the second day, he returned to the Ardent Fire City."

Old Mother Ying Shan felt really puzzled now: "He likes that incomplete secret treasure that much?"

"Yes. When he was touring the Southern Cloud Nation Treasured Goods Market, Prince remained looking at that spearhead the longest! In my opinion, the reason why Prince participated in the Fan Clan's banquet and defeated that protector while revealing his skills was all for the sake of gaining the favor of Fan Tian Chong. After that when Fan Tian Chong permitted Prince to look for him if Prince has any trouble, Prince immediately asked him for a favor to see that spearhead." Magic Servant Zi Bai had always been following Xue Ying. Hence, he was able to observe the other party's actions and behavior distinctly. He could sense that Xue Ying desired that incomplete secret treasure spearhead from deep his heart.

"Oh?" Old Mother Ying Shan was deep in thoughts.

Southern Cloud Capital, Treasured Goods Market, before the Fan Clan shop.

An old granny arrived.

"It is rare for Old Mother to come to our place." That plump old male came out personally just to welcome her. There were differing levels in power between Conferred Kings, and Old Mother Ying Shan was clearly considered strong at her level.

"Mn." Old Mother Ying Shan nodded. She directly entered the shop.

Very soon, they arrived at the third floor.

Old Mother Ying Shan arrived before that floating incomplete secret treasure spearhead. The past scenes were faintly flashing within her eyes. She saw how in the night before, that white-robed young man had held onto the spearhead for an extended period, causing the edge of Old Mother Ying Shan's lip to show signs of a grin.

"This is the incomplete secret treasure left behind by Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master?" Old Mother Ying Shan said.

"Yes, Old Mother, Prince Xue Ying from your Ying Shan Clan has come and seen it before." The plump old male chuckled.

"Price." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

"500 million cosmos crystals." The plump old male raised five fingers and grinned.

"The lowest price." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

"Old Mother is a VIP of my Fan Clan, and my clan master has given orders before, so naturally I'll not dare to bully Old Mother. The clan has given orders that the lowest price is 300 million cosmos crystals. It isn't possible for me to go any longer than that." The plump old male said.

Old Mother Ying Shan softly nodded.

She was clear.

Most of the secret treasures sold in the Fan Clan shop had a lower limit price that differed from the reported amount. Some were 80-90% of its reported price, and it was rare for a treasure to reach 60% of its stated price. This incomplete secret treasure had thus achieved the 60% limit price.

"Good. I want it." Old Mother Ying Shan nodded.

"Good good good." The plump old male said, "I wonder if you are planning to buy using cosmos crystals or treasures?"

"Treasures." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

Being an expert, after adventuring outside and killing others, most of the treasures and materials had been used on herself. Who would really hold on to several hundred million cosmos crystals with him? Maybe some powerful Cosmos Gods might do so, but Old Mother Ying Shan did not dare to be so luxurious.

"Hu." Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand, causing a black shuttle weapon to appear.

The plump old male took it and carefully scrutinized. He then looked up: "It can be sold for 210 million cosmos crystals at most."

Old Mother Ying Shan frowned before waving her hands, causing many fragments of precious materials to appear–there were a total of ten of them.

The plump old male carefully looked through and calculated before looking up: "You still lack 20 million cosmos crystals."

"Still lack?"

Old Mother Ying Shan frowned.

"We still have to sell them after buying them over! We do not know how long it'll remain in our hands, so the purchasing price will naturally be lower than the selling price." The plump old male chuckled.

Old Mother Ying Shan waved her hand again, causing a total of 20 million cosmos crystals to fly out. She did not have too many useless treasures with her. The most expensive ones had been used on herself. This time, she was still able to fork the amount out after collecting many treasures she had.

"Good good good." The plump old male received them and smiled, "This secret treasure spearhead will belong to Old Mother from now."

"Hu."

The plump old male kept all the treasures. At the same time, he released the forbidding array. That secret treasure spearhead also flew over to Old Mother Ying Shan. Old Mother Ying Shan extended her hand and grab it. Only then did a smile appear on her face. Even though she had paid so much, and Old Mother Ying Shan had gritted her teeth while doing so, selling even her weapon, the 'Flying Cloud Shuttle', Old Mother Ying Shan still felt relatively contended.

Because it was rare for the Ying Shan Clan to have such an outstanding disciple appearing. All sorts of resources would have long streamed onto Xue Ying with his talent if he were a disciple of a terrifying clan like the Fan Clan.

'It is impossible for me, an old granny, to compare with those huge clans. I must also try my best to do something for this little fellow. It is entirely possible for Xue Ying to become a Conferred King in the future.' Old Mother Ying Shan looked forward to it.

Ardent Fire City, Marquisdom.

The banquet that was held currently in the Marquisdom was bustling with activity.

Marquis Ardent Fire sat at the head position, and Xue Ying sat one spot down his left. On his right sat Chun Yu Wei Yi who took the initiative to rush over.

"Hu."

An old granny figure condensed out from illusion, appearing within the palace hall. All the elders in the palace hall including the disciples stood up. Marquis Ardent Fire who sat at the head position was the first to stand. He came down bowing: "Old Ancestor."

"Old Mother." Chun Yu Wei Yi also bowed.

"Old Ancestor." Xue Ying shouted out. The entire place was filled with respectful greetings of 'Old Ancestor'. All the elders, disciples, Ying Shan Lie Hu, Rong Xing Lan, and others were really polite.

Old Mother Ying Shan was the root foundation of the Ying Shan Clan.

She chuckled as she walked towards Xue Ying: "Little Fellow Xue Ying, it is quite good for you to cross through the sixth level of God Yuan Palace so fast. But you still have to properly cultivate. After visiting the capital, you should know that your little strength is still far too lacking."

"Xue Ying understands." Xue Ying replied.

"Mn." Old Mother Ying Shan threw out a wristband, "Properly cultivate then. I'll wait for the day you become a Conferred King." Saying that Old Mother Ying Shan turned and left.

Xue Ying received the storage treasure.

When he checked through it…

There was the simple spearhead floating within. The spearhead had caused many spatial ripples to form within the storage treasure space.

"This is?" Xue Ying looked up with shock. He only saw the figure of Old Mother Ying Shan gradually disappearing.

Chapter 1031: Breakthrough, Primal Chaos Realm

Translator:Chaos_

Editor:Chaos_

Sensing that spearhead floating within the storage treasure, Xue Ying felt complex at this moment.

Even though he had reincarnated into the Realm Heart Great Land, Xue Ying was still more worried about his wife and children back at the Primal Chaos Void. In his heart, the Primal Chaos Void was his root! Xue Ying had always been thinking of rising his strength quickly. No matter if it was sculpting himself as an absolute genius or joining the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, everything was done so that he could improve his foundation and increase his certainty of becoming a Cosmos God.

Precisely because…

He could return to his hometown after becoming a Cosmos God.

In Xue Ying's plan, when he learned the 'avatar technique' in the future, part of them would return to his hometown, leaving behind just an avatar in the 'Realm Heart Great Land' that would seek for more opportunities to improve his strength. That was to allow himself to better deal with the Destruction Devils and to gain a better chance of killing that Sacred Master. Xue Ying sought to find ways to deal against the calamity of the great apocalypse within the primal chaos void.

As for the 'Realm Heart Great Land', he originally thought it was merely a place of opportunity for him to grow stronger. It was fine for him to slightly help out the Ying Shan Clan, mother, and sister and it would be fine.

But at this moment…

'Old Mother Ying Shan.' Xue Ying thought.

Old Mother Ying Shan was ranked in the front amongst the Conferred Kings in Southern Cloud Nation. That was unquestionably an existence with tenth level strength and someone who could fight against Cosmos Gods! Hence, she dared to fight head-on against the Qian Yi Clan from the Moonflower Ancient Nation. In addition to the vital protection rendered by the Southern Cloud King to his principal aides, the Qian Yi Clan could not deal with Old Mother Ying Shan.

'Reaching the level of Old Mother, she shouldn't have thought of how I could help her in the future right?' Xue Ying thought.

After all, by deducing from his potential, others would only think that he could become a ninth level Conferred King, and that would be amazing already.

As for the tenth level?

Too difficult.

Only himself understood that he had a considerable chance of reaching the Primal Chaos tenth level. Even still, it would merely be comparable to Old Mother Ying Shan. As for becoming a Cosmos God? Xue Ying was clear that it was not an easy task even in the Realm Heart Great Land. The history of the Realm Heart Great Land was longer than the Primal Chaos Void, yet it only had these few Cosmos Gods.

Fan Tian Chong from the Fan Clan was considered an absolute genius and was significantly nurtured by the clan. Yet he only ended up at the tenth level.

'Is she doing this merely because I am a disciple from the Ying Shan clan?' Xue Ying thought.

The restraints of her bloodline.

Love and concern for all descendants in the clan.

Xue Ying could sense the concern and love Old Mother Ying Shan showed without expecting reciprocation from the descendants, as well as the hope she had for the juniors turning into dragons in the future.

'I'll naturally not disappoint you.' Xue Ying thought. This emotion was something he could only etch in his heart.

After the banquet, Xue Ying returned to his cavern-dwelling.

Ying Shan Lie Hu and Rong Xing Lan were high-spirited.

"Father, Mother." Xue Ying said, "I am preparing to enter closed-door cultivation today. I have obtained many scriptures within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and do want to calm myself and properly cultivate. This time, I might stay in closed-door for a very long time."

"We understand." Ying Shan Lie Hu nodded profusely.

The other party was about to become a Conferred Marquis.

"Mn." Rong Xing Lan nodded too. Her son had already crossed the sixth level of God Yuan Palace. According to the laws of the Southern Cloud Nation, passing through the seventh level meant one would be a Conferred Marquis!

"Zi Bai, Elder Tian." Xue Ying turned to the protectors and gave his orders, "If there aren't any important things, don't bother me."

"Alright."

Magic Servant Zi Bai and Tian Yi Zhi acknowledged.

"Mn."

Xue Ying then entered the Void God Pagoda.

Looking at the white-robed young man entering the Void God Pagoda entrance, those protectors and attendants felt rueful. It was likely that their prince would be a Conferred Marquis when he left closed-door cultivation. That was horrifying… Conferred Marquis. It was something easily achievable by their prince. Maybe those sayings might be true, that their prince would possibly become a Conferred King in the future too.

Within the Void God Pagoda.

Xue Ying sat cross-legged on the great floating rock.

'Let's have a good look at this spear.' Xue Ying was slightly excited as he flipped his hand, bringing that spear out. With a thought, the spear body and spearhead began rotating together. Many forbidding arrays within were activated, and the spear body and spearhead were soon separated.

With a flip of his hand, he kept that violet spearhead which was emanating a bloody savage aura. The demeanor emitted by this spearhead was great, but in reality, it was not placed in Xue Ying's eyes.

In his opinion, this simple-looking grayish spear body was much more precious than the violet spearhead.

"Hu."

With a flip of his hand, he took out that spearhead given to him by Old Mother Ying Shan.

'It isn't easy getting this.' Xue Ying looked at this seemingly simple spearhead. Only through the multiple distorted void ripples emitted from the spearhead could its extraordinariness be exemplified.

'If not for Old Mother, I would have to spend a long time earning the several hundred million cosmos crystals.' Xue Ying then let out a thought.

"Weng."

This simple spearhead and simple spear body began fusing as one. At the point where they connected, many mystical imprints were activated. "Weng", the two naturally combined as one. Following that, all the mystical imprints on the spear lit up, causing the surrounding void to ripple. A huge ringing sound was let out in the Void God Pagoda. This spear which accompanied Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master in his journey across the Realm Heart Great Land had once again regained its original appearance.

'Since it is Senior Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master's weapon, let's call it the Scarlet Cloud God Spear.' Xue Ying thought.

His consciousness then began permeating to check the entire spear.

"Hong–"

A substantial black maelstrom stairway spiraled downwards. This sophisticated and profound maelstrom stairway could be divided into three sections, and the three parts eventually converged at a single point.

Previously, Xue Ying had comprehended both the spear body and spearhead separately. He merely deduced what the complete imprint would be. Now that he had seen its 'full appearance', he discovered that it was more perfect than what he imagined it to be.

'Haha, time to break through first.' Xue Ying laughed out loud. With a thought.

"Hong!"

The void bloodline within his body was activated. It directly broke through to the Primal Chaos realm. At that moment, a vast World Energy Maelstrom was formed. It was akin to a black hole where world energy came gushing into the body of Xue Ying! It caused his body to undergo a qualitative change. The bloodline in his body was becoming more concentrated alongside. From thus, his bloodline was now at the Primal Chaos realm. Even the Cosmos God void bloodline in his body had been used to nourish his own bloodline, though it also meant that his bloodline cultivation path had ended here.

Cosmos Gods, according to the laws and profound mysteries system, could control the entire cosmic law!

Every Cosmos God would have different attainments even if they progressed using the same Dao path.

For instance, Monarch Nine Cloud and Void Primogenitor both progressed using the Dao of the Void. Nevertheless, the gap in both of them was extremely huge. Even the Dao of the Void between 'Southern Cloud King' and 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master' were vastly different. And all four of them had differing paths.

Hence, one could only absorb the crystallization of the senior's wisdom. The final step would still have to be taken by the cultivator himself.

The cosmic law.

It was no longer influenced by the supreme law. The complete cosmic law was one with the myriad existences. Hence, the cosmic law he comprehended would be applicable in both the Realm Heart Great Land and primal chaos void.

Unlike the lower levels like his Mirage and illusory realm or void comprehensions, they originated from different origin worlds and were heavily influenced. Henceforth, Xue Ying had to cultivate from scratch.

The lower the level, the greater the Dao would be influenced by the supreme law.

The cosmic law could stand independent beyond the supreme law.

As for those at the level of Sacred Master, they sought an even higher target.

"Hong~"

Xue Ying's body broke through. His soul was rapidly turning great under this nourishment. He lowered his head and switched to the spear.

Even though he broke through to the Primal Chaos realm, he did not plan on publicizing it!

In his plan, Xue Ying would be in closed-door for a very long time. When he exited, he would say that he had reached the Primal Chaos realm after cultivating for hundreds of millions of years. At least then he would be classified as within the boundary of an absolute genius! To reach the 'Primal Chaos realm in just five million years' was ultimately too heaven-defying.

As long as he did not go out, none would be the wiser!

Xue Ying broke through first to strengthen his soul. The soul at the Primal Chaos realm would allow him to cultivate at a faster pace than that with a Unity realm soul.

'When I go out, I'll be able to display my strength and not conceal myself just like what I have been doing.' Xue Ying thought.

Chapter 1032: The Blood Sacrifice of Black Devil Great Lake

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

With a soul at the Primal Chaos Realm, Xue Ying's speed of cultivation surged. After calming himself, he began researching on this newly-acquired Scarlet Cloud God Spear. The Scarlet Cloud God Spear was the weapon Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master used at his peak. It did not lack in power. This completed god spear was valued at a price not any lower than the 'Cloud Sky Hammer'. Furthermore, as the Cloud Sky Hammer was given up by 'Paragon Matron Slave' personally as she customized a better weapon for herself, the price of the spear would hence be slightly higher than the hammer.

Regardless, this was a weapon that a Cosmos God had to sell all his treasures before he could afford it. Xue Ying lucked out this time. Naturally, it was by relying on his realm that he could obtain the spear body in a small area like the Ardent Fire City.

By relying on the spear body, he then discovered the spearhead in the capital. The spearhead was even bought by Old Mother Ying Shan.

That was how the whole spear landed in his hands.

Actually…

The history of the Realm Heart Great Land was far too long. Many ancient remnants existed around the origin world. There had been plenty of experts who died during the first and second War of the Ancient Nations, so much so that the number could frighten the world. Hence, top-graded treasures were lost everywhere, and some depended on the cultivator's luck to obtain while others depended on his judgment.

"Hu hu."

Xue Ying was doing his best to practice the spear in the Void God Pagoda. He would occasionally meditate and consolidate his comprehensions.

As time passed, Xue Ying became even more astonished by the spear.

'I am so wrong. I originally thought that the mystical inscriptions within the Scarlet Cloud God Spear could allow me to deduce two great techniques–one a domain and the other an offensive killing move. Actually, that conclusion was obtained during my preliminary findings under the condition that both parts of the spear had not been fused together. Now that I began studying the spear thoroughly… it isn't just two techniques!' Xue Ying felt excited.

In reality, being a weapon that Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master used for battle, it naturally would be imbued with all techniques the owner specialized in aiding the owner.

One could say that the majority of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master's techniques was incorporated in this weapon.

But a weapon was different from an absolute art. It was refined for the sake of fighting, and not for imparting them to disciples. Hence, learning it was much harder than learning an absolute art.

'Haha, truly a great opportunity for me!' Xue Ying

Even the complete Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles only had primarily two combat techniques.

Nevertheless, Xue Ying discovered three types in this Scarlet Cloud God Spear.

Clearly, the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles was what the Southern Cloud King prepared to impart to others. All inner disciples could learn it. Even the simplified version was spread across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. It was possible to get it just by spending a little cosmos crystals. As for the complete version, it was possible to get it without joining the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion as long as one was willing to spend a large sum.

Such kind of open impartation was something the Southern Cloud King naturally would not put all his techniques into.

For instance, the Avatar Technique, the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique or the Third Realm Technique, which of these were not more precious than the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles?

Hence, in other words–

The Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles was merely imparted to the public, and this version contained two powerful techniques. Adding up the refining technique–'Southern Cloud Sacred Body'–there were three methods.

As for the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, it encompassed more than half the combat techniques of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master. One could see the gap between the two just by thinking along this line of thought.

As Xue Ying cultivated madly, time passed mercilessly.

He had indeed become entirely engrossed. Back at his hometown, Xue Ying could create two great ninth level moves and had long reached the bottleneck. It was hard for him to get any results despite 100 billion years of mundane cultivation. But now, not just the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles or the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, or even the many absolute art scriptures which he got from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion enabled Xue Ying to continually improve.

This feeling of improvement made him obsessed with cultivation.

'Amazing.'

The more he cultivated, the more Xue Ying felt how deep the foundation of the Realm Heart Great Land was. In the Primal Chaos Void, Xue Ying had already reached the number one rank in terms of his control of the Mirage and illusory realm; Xue Ying could not learn from other people. Instead, he had to probe his way in darkness. Nevertheless, there were two scriptures within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion on the Mirage and illusory realm paving the way to the Cosmos God realm. There were even 16 other books that aided him in his research.

Xue Ying told the outside world that he would be in closed-door cultivation for a very long time.

In reality, this period had exceeded the expectations of Marquis Ardent Fire, Ying Shan Lie Hu, Rong Xing Lan, and others. To other ancient and old cultivators, this period of closed-door cultivation was not considered much. Nevertheless, to a young cultivator who had merely cultivated for five million years, it was honestly too long.

In the blink of an eye, 1.5 billion years had passed.

Black Devil Great Lake.

The lake was vast, and it wasn't any smaller than a nation. This location was even filled with many devils. In terms of strength, the Black Devil Great Lake was stronger than any of the Black Devil Four Nations. Even the six great ancient nations had a hard time eliminating them. This place was also known as the best place for devils to gather across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

At this moment, deep within the Black Devil Great Lake, in an extravagant palace.

A morbid-looking pale green-robed male sat on top of the throne. Surrounding the throne were meandering blood illusory figures. These figures had practically occupied close to half the entire hall. They were emitting an aura that felt abnormally horrifying, causing the surrounding time-space to tremble.

On the sides below the throne seated two figures.

One was a huge magma giant that a pair of burning fiery sphere eyes. Each of his eyes was like a blazing star.

And on the other side, there was a thin green-haired old man. This thin green-haired old man had a smile on the edge of his lips. There was also a tiny black snake wrapped around his body.

"According to the rules, the location of blood sacrifice this time should be the Southern Cloud Nation." That green-robed male seated at the head position said with a cold voice.

"It isn't fun to provoke the Southern Cloud King." The magma giant's voice rumbled.

"Hmph. So what if it isn't fun to provoke him? The Blood Sacrifice is something nobody could stop. We must let the Black Devil Four Nations understand that we, the Black Devil Great Lake, is ultimately the rule-maker!" The thin green-haired old man gave a cold laugh, "Just like how we frequently pay the Fiery Zhao Nation a visit for slaughter and annihilate many cities. Or even the Southern Cloud Nation where we would occasionally act, and that is considered giving the Southern Cloud King a lot of respect already."

The magma giant said with a deep voice: "I know we should act, just that what I am saying is it isn't fun to provoke the other party. We should just choose a smaller city and prove our point."

"Mn." The thin green-haired old man also nodded, "A small city will be fine. The Southern Cloud King would likely turn crazy if we chose to sacrifice a big city."

"Also, whenever those of our lineage act, we must perform it spectacularly." The green-robed male mentioned.

There were many devils within the Black Devil Great Lake. They could be categorized under different sects too.

The Blood Sacrifice was also alternated between the three most prominent sects.

"Since we must do things spectacularly, and we are going to choose a little city." The green-haired thin old man continued, "Then that little city must be slightly special. I feel that the small city called 'Ardent Fire City' is not bad. There is a relatively amazing genius who emerged recently from this place. He is quite amazing within the Southern Cloud Nation. Eliminating this small city where that absolute genius came from would be considered intimidating the Southern Cloud Nation! We must let the entire Southern Cloud Nation know the notoriety of our Black Devil Great Lake!"

"Mn, alright." The magma giant agreed too.

"Then it'll be the Ardent Fire City. The two of you will be in charge of arranging the entire matter. Remember, you must do things beautifully and eliminate the entire Ardent Fire City during the Blood Sacrifice." The green-robed male ordered. His two subordinates both agreed. He would naturally not obstruct the arrangement of matters like the Blood Sacrifice.

"Old Ancestor."

A black-horned muscular figure looked respectfully at the thin green-haired old man who sat cross-legged in front. The thin green-haired old man had a slender black snake which wrapped around him. This snake made the muscular male feel a strand of fear.

"Relax. The matter you asked of me has been arranged." The thin green-haired old man said, "It is rare for our Black Devil Great Lake to act once against the Southern Cloud Nation during the Blood Sacrifice. This time, it is the turn of our lineage, and that gave me the chance to help you. We have agreed on the matter–the place of sacrifice will be Ardent Fire City. Your enmity can be avenged during this sacrifice."

"Many thanks, Ancestor." The black-horned muscular figure trembled in excitement.

He had always been trying his best to earn the favor from the ancestor and spent more than half his earnings to purchase the poison that his ancestor liked. Only then did the ancestor promised him.

After all, it was too hard for him to take revenge by himself.

The city of Southern Cloud Nation was not somewhere anyone dared to attack. It was much harder trying to succeed in destroying a city. They had to mobilize the entire Black Devil Great Lake! For the Black Devil Great Lake to annihilate a city, one was doing so to intimidate everyone, and second, was for the sake of the 'Blood Sacrifice'.

"Chen Niu, you will be participating in the battle this time. Don't disappoint me." The thin green-haired old man said, "The entire Ardent Fire City must be offered for the Blood Sacrifice. Not a single one must remain."

"Yes." The black-horned muscular figure felt incredibly excited at this moment. His eyes were filled with expectations and fighting spirit. He had been waiting a long time for this day. He sought to see the despair and the fear from the eyes of Marquis Ardent Fire watching as he personally killed the other party.

Chapter 1033: Blood Sacrifice–Ardent Fire City

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

At dawn, outside Ardent Fire City.

Two figures were standing on the land looking distantly at the magnificent Ardent Fire City. Even though this city was considered small in the Southern Cloud Nation, it was still protected by the incarnation of a Cosmos God and several Primal Chaos giants. It was a city where many cultivators converged and occupied an area spanning across 50 billion kilometers. The number of cultivators living inside numbered in trillions.

"The cities under the Southern Cloud Nation are constructed quite extravagantly." The thin green-haired old man looked at this city and apathetically chuckled, "What a pity that it'll be turning into a dead city soon."

"It is their fortune to be chosen as the city for Blood Sacrifice by our Black Devil Great Lake." A pure and holy white-robed male smiled. His smile was vibrant, and it gave off a warm feeling. His eyes were even filled with a fatalistic inducement. It felt like he was the most beautiful thing in this world, that would turn the eyes of everyone else to him.

"White Cloud Devil Master, this time, we'll have to trouble you."

"Haha, this is a minor matter. Since religious master has given the order personally, I'll naturally not neglect this mission." The pure and holy white-robed male smiled.

"Mn." The thin green-haired old man waved his hand.

"Sou."

Many experts appeared by the side. There were a total of 20 Primal Chaos giants and more than 10,000 Unity realm experts. Once an army numbered in tens of thousands, it would give off a feeling of suppression. These Unity realm experts were all wearing armor. Clearly, they were in a combat formation.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor. Greetings, White Cloud Devil Master." The 20 Primal Chaos giants all respectfully greeted. Following that, the more than 10,000 Unity soldiers also greeted orderly. They were clear of the statuses these two people in front had–they were from the higher level within the religion. There was no need to mention the Old Ancestor since he was a Cosmos God. As for 'White Cloud Devil Master' who stood beside him, he was one of the many devil masters within the religion. Those who could be called 'devil master' were all at the Primal Chaos Realm tenth level and could fight against a Cosmos God.

Like on the Realm Heart Great Land, some of the tier three nations only had one Cosmos God guarding it. The Black Devil Great Lake could send a devil master, and that would be sufficient to destroy that nation.

"Mn."

The thin green-haired old man nodded, "The Blood Sacrifice this time will be led by you, White Cloud Devil Master. You must remember to perform splendidly during this Blood Sacrifice of the city belonging to Southern Cloud Nation to intimidate them and everyone else!"

"Yes." Everyone answered confidently.

Even that black-horned muscular expert 'Chen Niu' was excited: 'The Southern Cloud Nation is slightly stronger. It is paid more attention to by the Black Devil Great Lake. Unlike when we were destroying cities within the Fiery Zhao Nation where just one or two Primal Chaos giants was sent, this time, White Cloud Devil Master would be personally leading the legion with 20 other Primal Chaos giants. Five out of the 20 of us have already reached the ninth level! Very good, fabulous. We must ensure that the Ardent Fire City is powerless to resist and trample over them. Marquis Ardent Fire, I've been waiting for this day for far too long. Soon, my revenge will be taken! I truly desire to see the look of despair on your face!'

"Mn."

The pure and holy white-robed male nonchalantly ordered, "According to the intelligence, there are only two experts within the Ardent Fire City–Marquis Ardent Fire and the incarnation of Monarch Chun Yu."

"Marquis Ardent Fire is at the Marquisdom, and the incarnation of Monarch Chun Yu is at the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

"Xue Fu, Chen Niu, the two of you shall lead the Primal Chaos giants and attack Marquis Ardent Fire. Kill him as fast as possible."

"The remaining Primal Chaos giants will attack the incarnation of Monarch Chun Yu! Once any of you succeeded, you all should hurry and aid the other party."

"As for the other Unity experts… scatter and wipe out the entire Ardent Fire City."

"As for me, I'll host the Blood Sacrifice."

The pure and holy white-robed male said.

Given his high status, he was disdained of acting personally. According to logic, there was no need for such a strong legion to be dispatched in sending a city for Blood Sacrifice. This was primarily done to 'display their strength' and to make the surrounding four nations more obedient. It was also done to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from happening. That was why a devil master personally led the team. Clearly, the Black Devil Great Lake did not permit any accidents from happening.

"Yes." Everyone present acknowledged in an orderly manner.

"Haha, then I'll begin now?" The thin green-haired old man chuckled. That pure and holy white-robed male nodded too.

The thin green-haired old man flipped his hand, causing a picture scroll to appear. He waved it.

"Hu."

The picture scroll suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it had already transformed into a vast manuscript right above the Ardent Fire City. Furthermore, an unseen energy was released from it, engulfing the entire Ardent Fire City. Naturally, the thin green-haired old man and his subordinates were precisely located within it.

This was a spatial seal!

By relying on a secret treasure, the current Ardent Fire City had its space wholly sealed. Even the Destructive Realm Teleportation technique could not break through this seal.

The large picture scroll gradually disappeared into nothingness. This space where the Ardent Fire City was located in disappeared. From this moment on, the Ardent Fire City could not be seen, touched, or entered! The entire place was in another unique space entirely independent from the Realm Heart Great Land, somewhat similar to the cavern-dwelling of Monarch Nine Cloud–to which Sacred Master could not even find it.

And currently within the sealed space…

Just outside the city, the pure and holy white-robed male indifferently gave the order: "Begin the sacrifice."

"Sou sou sou…"

Many teams began teleporting in, of which the strongest two Primal Chaos teams proceeded respectively to the Ardent Fire Marquisdom and Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

Within the Southern Cloud Capital, inside the palace, there was a dimmed palace hall.

"Sou sou sou sou…"

Many figures rapidly appeared within this hall. After entering it, they sat.

Seated at the throne position was a thin male wearing a beige robe. His nose was straight, and his eyes were deep. Even though he was thin and small, his body felt like it had become one entity with the surrounding void. He was the void, and the void was him. As a result, he gave off an unseen suppression that caused other experts present at the scene to hold their breath. He was none other than the religious master of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, one of the top ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

"King."

The atmosphere present was quite oppressive. Everyone turned to the king.

The eyes of the Southern Cloud King were looking far away. Waving his hand, a complete circular projection floated in the air. It faintly reflected the endless time-space continuum, and soon, the scene of Ardent Fire City appeared within.

"Blood Sacrifice."

"That is the Blood Sacrifice of Black Devil Great Lake."

The expressions of the three monarchs and five Conferred Kings present turned ugly. The five Conferred Kings who came… were all at the tenth level strength.

"No!"

Old Mother Ying Shan spent most of her time stationed in the capital. At this moment, she was anxiously looking at the scene projected on the circular mirror. This circular mirror was known as the 'Heaven Observation Mirror' One could rely on it to observe any place across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. There were very few places that could evade being watched by this mirror. Even those sealed places where ultra-long distance teleportation could not reach could similarly be observed.

This was a precious secret treasure.

"King." Old Mother Ying Shan immediately stood up and exclaimed anxiously, "This is the Ardent Fire City, my Ying Shan Clan's Ardent Fire City. We absolutely must not watch…"

Southern Cloud King turned taciturn. His deep eyes merely stared at the Heaven Observation Mirror.

"My Ying Shan Clan disciple ', Ying Shan Xue Ying,' is also in the Ardent Fire City. His talent is extremely huge, and it is certain that he'll become a Conferred King." Old Mother Ying Shan hurriedly added.

"And? What can we do?"

Southern Cloud King finally responded. His voice was solemn and cold, "Can we act? If I were to break the tacit understanding, that'd be equivalent to slapping the faces of the three religious masters of the Black Devil Great Lake! The three of them from the Black Devil Great Lake might just act after that, and by then, this will be a huge war that engulfs the entire Southern Cloud Nation. The number of deaths and injuries would be indeterminate."

Old Mother Ying Shan did not respond at that moment.

She knew.

She also understood it.

Even though the Southern Cloud King had governed the entire Southern Cloud Nation well, allowing it to flourish the entire Realm Heart Great Land was still based entirely on the theory of strength being prime! The three religious masters of the 'Black Devil Great Lake' were all huge devils that brought disasters across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Even the six great ancient nations could not get rid of them. As for the Black Devil Four Nations, they were covered in their shadows!

Comparatively speaking, the Southern Cloud Nation was in the best condition.

Fiery Zhao Nation had the most occurrences of being attacked. Of course, the Black Devil Great Lake would not 'kill the goose that lay the golden eggs'. Naturally, the Cosmos Gods from Fiery Zhao Nation did not dare resist.

As for the Snow Hook Nation, that was a nation that dared to compete directly with the six great ancient nations. The king had an explosive temper too, and would similarly dare to risk it all with the Black Devil Great Lake. Nevertheless, the faces of the six great ancient nations and the Black Devil Great Lake were not fun to slap. Hence, the Snow Hook Nation had suffered from several huge calamities in its history. Nevertheless, the Black Devil Great Lake similarly felt their heads aching because the bones of the Snow Hook Nation were not easy to be gnawed. Hence, they would not usually act, but the moment they did so, they would ruthlessly give Snow Hook Nation a severe lesson.

As for the Maple Nest Nation, it was closest to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. In reality, it had already decided to rely on the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, and with the protection from the ancient nation, it was in a much better condition. Even though it was rare for the Black Devil Great Lake to bring disaster to the Maple Nest Nation, it still occurred.

After all…

The Black Devil Great Lake was not afraid of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. They even dared to cause trouble to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

Only the 'Southern Cloud Nation' was being affected the least since Southern Cloud King himself was strong, and had befriended many other experts across the world. In the dark, he similarly made friends with the three religious masters from Black Devil Great Lake! But no matter what, the Black Devil Great Lake would still hold a Blood Sacrifice occasionally, and they would only choose some of the smaller cities within the Southern Cloud Nation.

This was the hidden rule.

Both parties were abiding by it too! When the Black Devil Great Lake had its reputation protected, the Southern Cloud Nation could similarly maintain its overall stability and prosperity.

"But, but…" Old Mother Ying Shan looked at the mirror floating in the air, watching as to how there was a pure and holy white-robed male sitting cross-legged in front of a floating black bottle. Old Mother Ying Shan was able to recognize him with a glance that this was a devil master existence from the Black Devil Great Lake–White Cloud Devil Master, "But the disciples of my Ying Shan Clan, and that Little Fellow Xue Ying, he…"

Old Mother Ying Shan felt her heart aching.

Other than the ancestral family, the Ying Shan Clan had a total of six branches. One of them was located here at the Ardent Fire City! So many Ying Shan clan disciples and that outstanding Little Fellow Xue Ying…

'Why would this be? Why?' Old Mother Ying Shan felt angry and agonized. She truly wanted to kill her way over.

But she knew…

That with the spatial seal present, she could not find Ardent Fire City at all! There was only one existence across the entire Southern Cloud Nation who had the strength to enter–Southern Cloud King when he utilized the 'Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique'. But it was impossible for the Southern Cloud King to lose all decorum with the three religious masters from Black Devil Great Lake because of this matter.

'Damn, damn.' The eyes of the Southern Cloud King remained deep and calm. It seemed as if this event was just a small rising wave in the vast sea. Nevertheless, in reality, he was keeping the anger in himself.

The city of his subordinate.

His civilians.

They were currently being massacred and sent for a Blood Sacrifice.

How could he not be angry?

It's just that… at times, he had to endure! When facing the Black Devil Great Lake, he had to endure! When facing the six great ancient nations, he also had to endure!

Chapter 1034: Discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying!

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Of the ten great religions in Realm Heart Great Land, eight came from the six great ancient nations!

The Southern Cloud King had personally started a religion that could be ranked in the top ten. One could see how powerful and resourceful this king is. He held the Snow Hook King in contempt. Even though the other party was powerful, the king cared only about himself. Whenever he was angered, he would actually fight head-on with the six great ancient nations and the Black Devil Great Lake. Every time he did so, a vast calamity would arise that resulted in countless deaths and injuries across the country.

As for the Southern Cloud Nation, it was the most prosperous and stable nation out of the Black Devil Four Nations.

'Black Devil Great Lake, I do not know when it is that I can completely destroy it.' Southern Cloud King thought.

He contemplated while watching the floating Heaven Observation Mirror.

The three Monarchs and five Conferred Kings were also watching it.

"My incarnation has suffered from a joint attack by 12 Primal Chaos experts, of which three of them have reached the ninth level strength." Monarch Chun Yu's expression was cold and sour. He said, "I don't think my incarnation can last for long."

His incarnation remained deep in sleep for long periods as a means to guard the place.

By relying on his incarnation, his consciousness could still be maintained.

Once this incarnation was destroyed! Monarch Chun Yu could no longer sense the space-sealed Ardent Fire City. Hence, he could no longer send his incarnations in!

Under ordinary occasions, when a city was attacked, the Cosmos Gods could easily send their incarnations in. Large batches of experts could also be teleported in to provide aid to the nation too. Hence, few dared to wantonly massacre within cities belonging to powerful countries. But this was an operation started by the Black Devil Great Lake. Before acting, they actually sealed the space.

'Why, why? So many disciples from my Ying Shan Clan and that Little Fellow Xue Ying… why can't we give him a little more time to grow?' Old Mother Ying Shan felt agonizing pain in her heart. She was indignant and mad. Given her temper, she would have killed her way over, yet it's a pity she could not find the place.

"Old Mother…" Empress Ghost Li transmitted a voice message by the side and consoled her.

And in the Black Devil Great Lake, within a huge grand palace, there were all sorts of precious gems inlaid in this interior space. There were even many arrays covering the walls.

A faint boundless might could be sensed permeating the entire hall.

At this moment, there were three existences seated at the highest position. The one sitting at the center was a middle-aged male garbed in a black robe. A huge strange six-ringed diagram had appeared behind him. This six-ringed diagram was constantly revolving about. Within this diagram contained an endless death aura. Even Cosmos Gods present did not dare to look at that diagram since they would feel dread and their mind being displaced once they did so.

To the left was a cheerful old man. One would feel pleasant when looking at him. He did not seem to release any suppressive aura.

And to the right, there was a green-robed male who had a pale, sickly expression. Huge blood-colored meandering void figures could be seen around him.

The three of them…

Were the three religious masters from the Black Devil Great Lake. They were famous huge devils across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Many clans from the six great ancient nations would feel alarming fear when they hear their names.

"Haha, it is rare for us to make a move against the Southern Cloud Nation. I believe when the operation begins, many nations will pay attention to the scene of the Blood Sacrifice." There was a total of seven Cosmos Gods seated below and many other devil masters. Only about 20 or so figures were qualified to sit within this palace hall.

Of course, the majority of them were incarnations.

"If it is a Blood Sacrifice of some small little nations, it isn't worth mentioning at all. But a Blood Sacrifice on a city under the Southern Cloud Nation is huge news. The Black Devil Four Nations would definitely pay close attention to it. Some of the nations around would likely turn their attention to this place too."

"We must turn the city into a spectacular sacrifice."

They were all chatting with smiles.

Those present were all devils!

Speaking from the inner hearts, they preferred living in prosperous places. Who would ever like hiding in such a strange place like the 'Black Devil Great Lake' where space was unpredictable? But they had no choice. The six great ancient nations needed stability and to reproduce many more cultivators. Hence, these devils would frequently be chased and pursued after! Some of the stronger ones would join the prominent clans as Honored Guests.

And some who committed grievous offenses and were rejected by the more prominent clans could only flee! They would escape to the gathering places of devils since only such sites were where these devils could unite.

It was during the Blood Sacrifices that would satisfy these devils the most. They had been escaping and hiding for far too long. Only during the occasional times would they turn back to these nations to bare their fangs!

"Hmph hmph… so what if it is the Southern Cloud Nation? We should find an opportunity to send a city from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation for a Blood Sacrifice. Only then would it feel more satisfying."

"No rush, no rush. There will be an opportunity in the future."

"Come come come, let us have a drink."

The Cosmos Gods and devil masters were all chatting with smiles.

And the three religious masters seated at the highest positions would occasionally speak too. The current atmosphere within the entire palace hall was extremely joyous.

Ardent Fire City, Marquisdom, inside the Void God Pagoda that was situated in Xue Ying's cavern-dwelling.

There was a great floating stone.

And a handsome white-robed young man sitting on it. A spear was placed on his knees.

"Hong long long~"

The space within the Void God Pagoda was like billowing waves surging. The spatial waves would occasionally tear apart many of the undercurrents within. This tearing force was abnormally horrifying. Ordinary Primal Chaos giants who dare to appear here would likely be torn apart into smithereens and die instantly at that moment.

Xue Ying was ultimately used to cultivating. It was not considered long for him to enter closed-door cultivation for 10 billion years in one go. Currently, it had only been 1.5 billion years, and he was still wholly immersed within.

According to the habit from his previous life, most would only leave closed-door cultivation after entering a bottleneck. Right now, he was happily comprehending and was not in a rush to go.

"Xue Ying, quickly come out! Come out now!" Marquis Ardent Fire anxiously transmitted over.

"Prince, prince, hurry out!" Magic Servant Zi Bai transmitted too.

"Prince, hurry out now! Hurry hurry, we don't have enough time!" Tian Yi Zhi anxiously transmitted over as well.

"Let Magic Servant Zi Bai. I have some trouble over here. It is unlikely for me to defend myself so don't come over to where I am." Marquis Ardent Fire hurriedly followed up after that.

There was a continuous chain of voice transmissions.

It forced Xue Ying to stop his cultivation. He was feeling slightly shocked as this chain of voice transmissions had caused his heart to tighten.

"Even Grandpa Marquis is having a hard time surviving?" Xue Ying felt startled.

He did not care about other matters.

"Sou."

Grabbing the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, Xue Ying took a step before arriving at the entrance of the Void Pagoda. "Hong long long", the sealed doors began opening. Just as a small gap was formed, Xue Ying rushed out with a "sou".

"Hu."

As he arrived outside the Void Pagoda, Xue Ying saw how Magic Servant Zi Bai was no longer his usual carefree self. The fan in his hand was not being fanned, and instead, he was anxiously saying: "Don't resist. I'll bring you away." Saying that as he was prepared to keep Xue Ying into his Eden treasure, Magic Servant Zi Bai suddenly stopped as he looked at Xue Ying with shock.

How come the aura of his prince had changed…?

Primal Chaos Realm?

"Prince, you broke through to the Primal Chaos Realm?" Magic Servant Zi Bai was shocked. His clan's prince had a void bloodline. If he broke through to the Primal Chaos Realm, he would undoubtedly be better than a magic servant in escaping.

"Mn."

Xue Ying casually answered. His attention was placed more on the distant.

Currently, his gaze crossed through the obstacles of space. Xue Ying was able to see that at the highest location in the center of the Ardent Fire City, there was a holy and pure white-robed male seated in midair. A black bottle was floating in front of him. This bottle diffused out some faint ripples that covered the entire Ardent Fire City.

'What ripples are those? What function does it contain?' Xue Ying felt puzzled. This ripple did not seem to be dangerous at all.

But closely following that, he understood.

"Kill."

With his current realm, Xue Ying was able to clearly perceive the entire Ardent Fire City. Many armored soldiers were slaughtering the people. They were a team formed by Unity realm experts, and any one team had the strength at God Yuan Palace sixth level. How could the civilians within Ardent Fire City resist against it? They were easily killed.

As they were killed, unseen energy was produced that moved with the ripples into the black bottle.

'Blood Sacrifice?' Xue Ying understood there and then.

He had read many different books at the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and understood that this was the Blood Sacrifice conducted by Black Devil Great Lake.

Just like the Primal Chaos Void, after the Destruction Devils were killed, the cultivators could absorb the dispersed energy from them to nourish their souls! And it was likewise for the Destruction Devils. They would similarly grow stronger after killing the cultivators.

Hence, when cultivators died, their soul would leave behind unique energy. It was impossible for cultivators to absorb them within the Primal Chaos Void–only the Destruction Devils could.

But on the 'Realm Heart Great Land'.

It was discovered a long time ago that the unique energy within the soul of each being actually came from the most essential part of the Origin World. It could even be collected.

'Blood Sacrifice' was done to collect this essence energy of the soul of cultivators. And the core of the entire Blood Sacrifice was that one single Blood Sacrifice Magic Bottle. Cosmos Gods who knew how to refine treasures for Blood Sacrifice could be counted with one's fingers in the entire Realm Heart Great Land! And only three out of the six great ancient nations knew how to refine this Blood Sacrifice treasure. One could see how difficult it was to cultivate this technique!

And it was 'Yama Religious Master' of the three religious masters from the Black Devil Great Lake who knew how to refine it.

'Blood Sacrifice?'

'Ardent Fire City is being used as a Blood Sacrifice?' Xue Ying felt startled. Following that, fury began filling his chest. His eyes turned red the next moment.

Saying it was slow, though everything happened quickly within the hearts of Xue Ying. In reality, it had only been a blink of time.

"Prince, we should leave now. Madam and Ying Shan Lie Hu have both been brought into my Eden treasure. As for prince's father, Ying Shan Lie Hu, he should still be at the Misty Cloud Pavilion. It is too far, and we don't have sufficient time to save him." Magic Servant Zi Bai anxiously urged.

"We have discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying!" A joyous sound was transmitted from afar.

Chapter 1035: Preliminary Battle

Being one of the branches of Ying Shan Clan that reproduced for trillions of years, countless disciples lived in the Marquisdom. It occupied a vast area. At this moment, there were teams of Unity Realm devils wreaking havoc. Each group contained a hundred people and could burst out with a God Yuan Palace seventh level strength. While they were massacring the civilians, and under the situation that the strongest power of the Marquisdom–Marquis Ardent Fire–was suffering from a joint attack by eight Primal Chaos experts, these devils had no foes at all.

"We discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying!" A team of devils became joyous at that moment. They were able to spot a white-robed young man who flew out from the Void God Pagoda.

This white-robed young man turned with a cold expression towards that team of devils.

"Don't resist." Xue Ying waved his hand before keeping Magic Servant Zi Bai into his Eden treasure.

"Prince!" Magic Servant Zi Bai forcibly resisted. He anxiously transmitted over, "I can help you, Prince!" He could at least exert power at the eighth level.

Yet Xue Ying frowned slightly at Magic Servant Zi Bai beside him.

"Hu."

Following that, he cast his gaze at the team of devils closest to him. That team was currently chasing after the escaping Ying Shan clan disciples. Even though they discovered Xue Ying, they did not act. Instead, they reported upwards. After all, they could ascertain with a glance that Prince Xue Ying had reached the Primal Chaos realm, and they as a team of Unity experts had no confidence in dealing against him.

"Die." Xue Ying coldly uttered.

"Hua!" The void where that team of devils existed in abruptly distort. Many cracks appeared on every Unity devil.

In a single instance, the team of a hundred devils turned into dust. They disappeared from the world.

"No!"

"Quick, quickly run! I'll block them for us."

Those Ying Shan Clan disciples who were being chased after, some were escaping, and some were holding back the devils for their loved ones. But suddenly, they discovered that many cracks had appeared on the hundred devils that were pursuing after them. Following that, they disappeared.

"What?" Magic Servant Zi Bai watched this scene happen with shock, "Prince could actually kill them instantaneously at a distance 5,000 kilometers away?"

In any case, the team of devils could still unleash a combat formation at the God Yuan Palace seventh level strength. Even if he was the one fighting against this team of devils, he had to use several techniques before being able to get rid of this team. His prince, nevertheless, could easily extinguish the group of devils despite being 5,000 kilometers away. This, what strength had his prince reached?

"Don't resist." Xue Ying said once again. He waved his hand, engulfing Magic Servant Zi Bai with his energy.

"If you need me, Prince can give the order anytime." Magic Servant Zi Bai transmitted hurriedly. This time, he did not resist.

Xue Ying kept Magic Servant Zi Bai. With a thought, he was able to confirm that his mother and sister had been held by Magic Servant Zi Bai. That was why he wanted to keep Magic Servant Zi Bai in his Eden treasure. As for aiding him? With the strength Magic Servant Zi Bai had, he was of no help to Xue Ying–he would only be a distraction.

'Even though Grandpa Marquis is in danger, he should be able to sustain for a breath or two.' Xue Ying looked towards the distance.

Marquis Ardent Fire led the most elite 5,000 Ardent Fire Soldiers. Furthermore, he was being strengthened by the array from the Marquisdom.

Even though he was on the disadvantaged end as he suffered from a joint attack by eight Primal Chaos experts together, he should be able to maintain for a while.

"Save me!"

Currently, in the entire Marquisdom, there were still seven teams of devils attacking the civilians. Each group consisted of a hundred people, and they were killing thousands of Ying Shan Clan people every instance. Xue Ying had to eliminate them first. In order to deal against them, he had to teleport before displaying his 'Scarlet Cloud Domain' to eradicate the devils. And killing the seven teams was something doable within a breath of time!

Southern Cloud Nation, within the royal palace.

The King, three Monarchs and five Conferred Kings were all watching the projection on the round mirror.

"Little Fellow Xue Ying." Old Mother Ying Shan saw that white-robed young man appearing in the round mirror and could not help but feel her heart tightening.

Nonetheless, closely following that, the white-robed young man simply shouted a 'die', and the team of hundred devils 5,000 kilometers away turned into nothingness.

"This Little Fellow Xue Ying has reached the Primal Chaos realm, and has even trained in such a formidable domain technique?" Old Mother Ying Shan felt both joyous and sorrowful. She felt joyous because Xue Ying had not failed to live up to her expectations. But killing this team of tiny Unity realm experts meant nothing at all! This domain technique was only at the eighth level strength. Even if Xue Ying was at the peak of eighth level or the ninth level, so what?

At this moment, there were 20 Primal Chaos devils on the enemy side, of which five were at the ninth level. Also, they were not fighting alone. Instead, they had formed combat formations!

Did they not see Monarch Chun Yu's incarnation that had reached the ninth level strength after being strengthened by the array, yet he was still dying off soon?

Marquis Ardent Fire had a total of 5,000 elite Ardent Fire soldiers, forming a huge formation array. He was even strengthened by arrays too, yet he was similarly being suppressed.

So what could this Little Fellow Xue Ying do?

Furthermore, there was still a mighty boss on the enemy side–the tenth level White Cloud Devil Master! That was someone who could fight against Cosmos Gods. Furthermore, some of the new Cosmos Gods would even be suppressed entirely and defeated by White Cloud Devil Master. Could this strength be resisted by a little fellow?

"He is a genius. This domain technique of his should be at least the eighth level standard." Monarch Sky Yin muttered.

"What a pity." Monarch Greedy Peng softly shook his head.

Only Southern Cloud King remained watching it emotionlessly and calmly at the round mirror. If this was an ordinary occasion, he might reveal a smile when such an outstanding young genius emerged. But now, the king only felt humiliation! Because he as the King could not do anything at all. He could only stand by the side and watch as the entire Ardent Fire City got massacred and used as a Blood Sacrifice. He had to personally witness as this young genius dies in the hands of a Primal Chaos Devil led by White Cloud Devil Master.

In another location within the Southern Cloud Capital, within the residence of the Fan Clan.

There were also ten experts seated in the palace hall observing the battle. A Heaven Observation Mirror similarly floated within. It was naturally that tall and plump male 'Fan Tian Chong' who was seated at the throne position.

"The Black Devil Great Lake remains unbridled and arrogant as always." Fan Tian Chong muttered, "My Summer Wind Ancient Nation has also battled the Black Devil Great Lake multiple times. What a pity that even though our Summer Wind Ancient Nation has the occasional rewards, the devils of the Black Devil Great Lake could rely on geography to make our Summer Wind Ancient Nation suffer from huge losses too. Let's not mention the Black Devil Four Nations. The Southern Cloud Nation has it best, but they would still occasionally see a city being sent for Blood Sacrifice. Yi? Ying Shan Xue Ying?"

"It is that Ying Shan Xue Ying."

"His potential is great. It is certain for him to become a Conferred King. It isn't hard for him to reach the ninth level strength too."

"What a pity."

Other observers within the palace hall said.

Fan Tian Chong nodded: "It is indeed a pity. The group of Primal Chaos devils led by White Cloud Devil Master is something Ying Shan Xue Ying could not resist." Fan Tian Chong softly shook his head. It was regretful watching the fall of a young genius, but he did not care much. In the vast Realm Heart Great Land, many geniuses had fallen before reaching absolute experts.

Within a bamboo house that was surrounded by flowing water.

A beautiful violet-robed girl sat on the ground. She was currently embroidering.

"The Ardent Fire City is currently suffering from the Blood Sacrifice of the Black Devil Great Lake. Monarch Chun Yu's incarnation is about to dissipate, and the 5,000 elite Ardent Fire soldiers led by Marquis Ardent Fire are currently doing their best to resist, yet they can't last long. Ying Shan Xue Ying has left closed-door cultivation. He has broken through to the Primal Chaos realm, and has killed a team of Unity realm devils with his domain technique." Many reports were rapidly transmitted to Qian Yi Xiao.

Qian Yi Xiao was the manager of the Moonflower Ancient Nation's Qian Yi Clan branch in Southern Cloud Nation. She could naturally easily obtain detailed information from various sources.

But she wasn't watching the Heaven Observation Mirror. That was too extravagant, and in the entire Southern Cloud Nation, only the Southern Cloud King and Fan Clan owned them! At this moment, the information was being sent from within the Qian Yi Clan located in the Moonflower Ancient Nation.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying has left closed-door cultivation? What a pitiful fellow. How lamentable." The violet-robed girl Qian Yi Xiao lightly giggled.

She did not care anyway.

Even the matter of the Ardent Fire City did not affect her mood on embroidery.

Ardent Fire City.

"Sou."

With a teleport, Xue Ying appeared not far away from another team of Unity realm devils. That team formed a combat formation, and their members were currently wantonly killing the civilians. With their strength, even if they met the Marquisdom elders or Honored Guests, they could easily kill them off. They were currently wreaking havoc in the place–whatever powerful moves that had a massive area of effect were utilized.

"Hong long long~"

Many places beneath were scattered and smashed. The Ying Shan Clan disciples were spreading in all directions. Nevertheless, large batches of them were still dying every moment.

"Die." Xue Ying felt anxious. But he knew that by relying on incarnations, these incarnations could not rely on the power from the Scarlet Cloud God Spear. Hence, killing a team would be tough.

"Hu."

The surrounding void rippled. The hundred Unity devils suddenly shattered apart and turned into dust.

"Dead? They are all dead?"

"They are dead!"

Those Ying Shan Clan disciples who were escaping in despair suddenly stopped. They watched in astonishment as those devils turned into dust. But soon later, they discovered that white-robed young man who was emitting a Primal Chaos aura.

"It is Prince Xue Ying."

"Prince Xue Ying is the one that killed those devils." The Ying Shan Clan disciples felt extreme joy! The pride of their Ying Shan Clan was this legendary genius disciple from their clan–Ying Shan Xue Ying. And this legendary man had become a Primal Chaos giant and was currently killing those devils.

"Prince Xue Ying will definitely be able to wipe out all those devils."

"Too amazing."

The Ying Shan Clan disciples saw hope. They were looking forward to when all enemies were wiped out. Nevertheless, these ordinary clan members were not clear how frightening the enemies were this time!

"The next place." After Xue Ying killed the enemies, he did not stop. He immediately teleported to another location.

The black twisted-horn muscular man, 'Chen Niu' was currently leading three Primal Chaos devils. The surrounding space had vaguely formed a huge dark cloud. They were like a single entity, and Chen Niu being the commander, had become even more abnormally strength. After all, he was primarily a ninth level expert and was leading three other Primal Chaos experts, forming a combat array that boosted his power. This single team had already gained the upper hand when facing Marquis Ardent Fire, much less when there was a second team dealing against the Marquis too.

'Xue Fu' was a cold old man, and he was the one leading the other three Primal Chaos experts in a combat formation.

One could see a huge black 'Xue Fu mutated beast' illusion forming in midair. The surrounding temperature had drastically dropped. There were even some icy snowflakes appearing in the vicinity.

"Brother Xue Fu." Chen Niu might be filled with killing intent, but he was still paying close notice to the things happening around him–that white-robed young man, "It is that Little Prince Xue Ying. He is currently killing our subordinates. You should go. Your team will be able to eliminate him with the fastest speed."

"Alright." The cold old man was also able to spot Xue Ying with a single glance. Their team specialized more in dealing against the weak, and could rapidly wipe them out.

"Let us leave at this moment." The cold old man ordered through voice transmission.

Chapter 1036: Killing Four!

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Xue Ying, hurry up and run! Escape at this moment!" Marquis Ardent Fire was anxiously shouting over through voice transmissions. He was currently so angry that his eyes were about to pop out from his sockets. Leading a total of 5,000 elite Ardent Fire soldiers in a combat formation, they had formed a fiery-red gigantic dragon that fought furiously against the enemies. Every soldier was also doing his or her best. They were clear that it was impossible for them to be spared given the character of those devils if they were to lose the battle.

Without having a path of retreat, these soldiers could only stake their lives.

"Feeling anxious? Turning mad? It's useless! Hahaha, Marquis Ardent Fire, that time when our tribe was struggling at death's door within the wilderness and lived carefully, even though survival was hard, we were quite united. That was our home! But you were the one that sent down a fire dragon on us as you pursued after a devil! That devil might have evaded this move of yours, but our tribe had been exterminated as a result! Only ten or so members survived. We had to travel around homelessly, seeking means to survive. Nonetheless, we could only watch as one member died after another. In the end, I was forced to enter the Black Devil Great Lake."

"Out of the millions of insects that faced the calamity, I was one of the ten kings that survived. Only then was I qualified to become a member of the lowest society in the Black Devil Great Lake."

"I struggled amidst the many of the newcomers, and eventually succeeded in becoming a subordinate of a Primal Chaos expert."

"But they were all devils. My disciple brothers had killed each other in cold blood!"

"Only the survival would triumph as the strongest. I was able to break through to the Primal Chaos realm and reach the ninth level, and now, I am much stronger than you! What a pity that you are being protected by the Ying Shan Clan and the Southern Cloud Nation.

"That time, why can't you control your actions slightly and allow my tribe to survive?"

"All it required was a thought, and none of us would die! But you did not do that. That's right, we were ants. Ants! The weak are ants and should die. They should all die."

The eyes of the black twisted-horned muscular male were filled with madness. At the same time, continuous voice transmissions sounded in the mind of Marquis Ardent Fire.

This was the Devil 'Chen Niu's greatest desire.

This desire of his pushed him on through the nightmare-like society in the Black Devil Great Lake as part of the lowest ranking of devil until where he currently was. At this moment, he was about to execute his revenge, so naturally, he told the other party everything. He wanted Marquis Ardent Fire to understand! The death of Marquis Ardent Fire and the annihilation of the entire Ardent Fire City was all because of his actions which implicated a tribe in the past.

"Do you know that the Southern Cloud Nation have many cities? Originally, it wasn't your Ardent Fire City that would be chosen as the location for Blood Sacrifice. But it had been because of I! I was the one that thought of ways to make the Old Ancestor and others choose the Ardent Fire City as the place for Blood Sacrifice."

"Haha…"

"You destroyed my tribe. Today, I'll be killing you, exterminate your clan and your city. In the future, the whole Ying Shan Clan will also be extinguished. Hahaha…"

The voice transmissions continued sounded on in the mind of Marquis Ardent Fire.

Marquis Ardent Fire gritted his teeth.

He was a cold, emotionless person. Thus, why would he care about his actions as he fought outside even if they might implicate the weak? At this moment, he was still furiously staring at that black twisted-horned muscular male in front of him.

"Xue Ying, hurry up and run! Flee at this moment. They are too formidable, too powerful! As long as you hold on for a day, they will retreat." Marquis Ardent Fire was currently transmitting his voice to Xue Ying. He knew it was impossible for him to survive. All he wanted was for Xue Ying to live on. Being a Primal Chaos expert from the void lineage, Xue Ying was good at escaping. He might be able to grasp that tiny chance of surviving for a day within the vast Ardent Fire City.

A day.

This was also the tacit understanding between the Black Devil Great Lake and Southern Cloud King. The Blood Sacrifice would last for a day at most. No matter if they succeeded or fail, they had to withdraw!

But when facing the team led by White Cloud Devil Master, it was likely that an hour was all it took for the entire Ardent Fire City to be annihilated and used as a Blood Sacrifice. This was primarily because the Ardent Fire City as a whole was too big, and there were too many civilians. As for Marquis Ardent Fire and the incarnation of Monarch Chun Yu, and Xue Ying, they could easily be settled within a short period in the plans of Black Devil Great Lake.

Even though Marquis Ardent Fire was anxiously urging Xue Ying to flee, Xue Ying remained teleporting about.

"Die." He was coldly looking at the closest team of hundred Unity realm devils. Many cracks appeared on the body of those devils, and they soon turned into dust.

"Prince Xue Ying!"

"Prince Xue Ying has saved us!"

"We are saved!"

"Our Marquisdom can be saved! There is hope for the Ardent Fire City!"

The Ying Shan Clan disciples who were saved finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. In their opinion, Prince Xue Ying who was currently emanating a Primal Chaos realm aura was originally powerful. But after killing those devils in a single instance, they felt that a miracle had dawned on Ardent Fire City.

No other choice. Each and every Primal Chaos giant was a great existence in the eyes of these ordinary civilians.

"I am not willing! I am unreconciled to just die like that after breaking through to the Void God realm and am finally qualified to be a disciple of the Ying Shan Clan. I can allow my mom to live a better life from now, yet why, why must we die just like that? No…" A disciple of Ying Shan Clan had broken through to the Unity realm amidst a crisis of death. But facing the incoming team of devils, he was filled with despair.

"Hong."

As he escaped, he was continually looking at the team of devils behind. But suddenly, many cracks appeared on the body of those devils, and they soon turned into dust after.

This Ying Shan Clan disciple stopped in a daze abruptly. He then turned to the white-robed young man standing afar.

That white-robed young man stood in midair. His Primal Chaos aura had produced a suppressive feeling that made him look up to him unknowingly.

"Prince Xue Ying?" This Ying Shan Clan disciple recognized him with a glance.

That was the pride of the Marquis Ardent Fire lineage.

He was the pride of the whole Ying Shan Clan, and was a legendary genius!

"It is Prince Xue Ying!" This Ying Shan Clan disciple suddenly burst into extreme excitement. He had never worshipped Prince Xue Ying as much as this moment! Currently, Prince Xue Ying was like a spot of light in his heart–the status of this prince had transcended beyond Marquis Ardent Fire's, and was merely secondary to Old Mother Ying Shan.

Xue Ying could not tolerate the scene of the weak being massacred, much less when these people were of his clan.

"You teleported quite quickly!"

"Hu."

At the same time when Xue Ying utilized his domain technique to kill the fourth team of devils, four Primal Chaos giants appeared. The leading devil was a cold old man. As this old man appeared, an unseen law domain descended in the surrounding, causing time-space to be faintly locked in this location. This law domain had come from a ninth level expert, and was in a sense, quite perfect.

The law domain of Primal Chaos experts, even if they were constructed based from a miniature cosmic law, was intrinsically powerful. This cold old man 'Xue Fu' was also an expert at the ninth level. With his law domain suppression, even Cosmos Gods had a hard time barging in.

With his law domain suppression, nobody could teleport out.

"Hmph." Xue Ying turned to the four Primal Chaos devils in front.

His current attainments of the void enabled him to perceive the moment the other party teleported over. Logically speaking, Xue Ying could simply teleport away with sufficient time.

But he did not. Instead, Xue Ying wanted to kill that team of Unity realm devils.

"Xue Ying, you, why did you not escape?" The distant Marquis Ardent Fire who observed this scene felt even more distressed. "You should use all your understanding of the void to escape! Don't care about other clanmates anymore. You should be the only one who could barely escape alive in the entire Ardent Fire City. Others have no hopes of surviving."

Marquis Ardent Fire felt both moved and restless at Xue Ying's decision to save the clan members at this crucial moment.

"Hua hua hua~"

A cold gale formed.

The surrounding temperature started dropping drastically. Icy slags and snowflakes began falling in the sky. This cold old man 'Xue Fu' and his three other subordinates remained in a combat formation. One could see an enormous black-colored Xue Fu illusion appear in the location. This Xue Fu figure was covered in blood-colored veins. His eyes were blood-colored too. The current temperature of the surrounding could freeze ordinary Unity realm experts to death.

The cold wind blew on his face. Yet Xue Ying merely tightened his grip on the Scarlet Cloud God Spear.

"What a pity."

"You are a genius. If you were given sufficient time, you could have reached my level. What a pity that today is the day you die." The cold old man Xue Fu said with a crisp voice.

The three Primal Chaos devils were also looking at Xue Ying with pity.

"Kill him." The cold old man stated.

"Move."

"Kill."

They were all being casual. Nevertheless, when the killing began, they would not be merciful. After all, they were huge devils at the Primal Chaos realm, and they still wanted to go team up with the other team after killing this prince to exterminate Marquis Ardent Fire.

"Weng!"

A strange sound was heard.

"What is that sound?" One of the four Primal Chaos existences, a golden-clothed demonic teenager, became startled. Closely following that, he discovered a huge hole appearing on his chest.

Accompanied by this strange sound, the ripple had unknowingly transmitted across his body.

The body of this golden-robed young man soon shattered. He turned into powder and was dispersed into nothingness.

"Weng!""Weng!""Weng!"

The three Primal Chaos existences felt a blurred spear shadow flashing by. The next moment, gaping holes appeared on their chest. Their body soon shattered and turned into powder.

"Hong hong hong." Only the cold old man 'Xue Fu' remained alive as he roared out in shock: "Chen Niu!"

He tried his best to block the incoming attacks.

But this seemingly ordinary spearhead appeared behind him with a horrifying force. It pierced through his body, causing part of it to burst immediately. That was an instant kill. The cold old man panicked in his heart: '"Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", Void Shatter? But when did the Void Shatter become so unpredictable? I can't even block it!" Even though he tried his best, the surrounding void warped in an odd manner, causing three consecutive spears to pierced through his body and causing his body to shatter.

The final strike shot through his throat.

His head soon disappeared.

He was staring wide-eyed at the cold white-robed young man standing in front with a spear in his hand.

He dared not believe–he did not want to believe–that he died in the hands of a young man.

"How can this be?" Following that, his consciousness was gone entirely.

Silence.

Previously when the Unity realm devils were massacred, other teams above the Marquisdom were paying close notice to this location. Even the black twisted-horned muscular male 'Chen Niu' and his three Primal Chaos subordinates that were fighting with Marquis Ardent Fire were paying close notice to the proceedings here. Marquis Ardent Fire himself was included, albeit he was more anxious.

But at this moment, the whole place became quiet.

No matter who it was, none had thought that such an outcome would happen.

A ninth level Primal Chaos expert leading three other Primal Chaos experts in a combat formation had lost. The three subordinates died under one single strike, and the only ninth level expert 'Xue Fu' died in three. None was able to obstruct the spear at all!

Southern Cloud Nation, within the royal palace.

Within the palace hall that contained a congealed atmosphere, Old Mother Ying Shan, Empress Ghost Li, Gong Liang Yi–the five Conferred Kings, as well as Monarch Sky Yin, Monarch Chun Yu, and Monarch Greedy Peng were watching the scene projected on the round mirror with astonishment. Originally, they did not wish to see this absolute genius being killed. Nevertheless, when they saw what happened next, all of them were stunned momentarily. They did not know what to say.

Southern Cloud King who was originally watching calmly expressionlessly, suddenly broke out in a grin. His eyes sparkled at that moment as he roared: "Great!"

Chapter 1037: The Fame of Ying Shan Xue Ying

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Following Southern Cloud King's exclamation of a single word, 'good', the group of cultivators within the palace hall reacted. One could not blame them. The scene that appeared within the round mirror was too shocking.

"Formidable. Truly formidable. The combat formation formed by four Primal Chaos existences has been broken by him just like that?" Monarch Sky Yin sighed with shock.

"That's right. And it is even a combat formation led by Old Devil Xue Fu. In terms of power, it should be at the peak of the ninth level. Even if I acted, it isn't that easy to break it." Monarch Chun Yu exclaimed with admiration from the side. A truly powerful combat formation could easily defend itself against even a soul attack–the strongest expert within the combat formation could protect the team.

Hence, attacking the weakest link in the combat formation was practically equivalent to attacking its strongest expert.

Of course, in the long history of Realm Heart Great Land, several unique methods could target one of the members situated in the formation, rendering the formation entirely useless. For instance, some kind of 'curse' or 'prophecy method'. Or a 'karma attack', 'Yin-Yang Reincarnation Attack', etc.

"He has employed two types of spear techniques in total." Monarch Greedy Peng praised, "The first spear technique is bizarre. It did not pierce apart the combat formation, yet the spear shadows have pierced through the chest of the Primal Chaos experts. When a bloody hole formed on each opponent's chest, their body soon turned into particles and disappeared from existence. Those three Primal Chaos experts died like that."

"Mn, that's right."

"Indeed, his spear did not pierce apart the combat formation. Yet the spear shadows have somehow flashed, piercing through the chests of the three Primal Chaos experts and causing their bodies to shatter."

Those present had extraordinary strength.

Not just Cosmos Gods, even the tenth level existences could make an accurate judgment.

"The second spear technique is the 12th style of our "Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles", the 'Void Shatter'. Three consecutive spears blasted out on the body of Old Devil Xue Fu." Monarch Greedy Peng said, "The Void Shatter was merely an attack at the God Yuan Palace ninth level strength. Even though its power might be stronger, it is quite crude and easily defended! But in the hands of this Prince Xue Ying, when the spear appeared, it had reached the side of Old Devil Xue Fu, preventing the other party from blocking it at all. Hence, causing all three moves to connect."

"Even though 'Void Shatter' has huge power, and Old Devil Xue Fu did have a firm body refining cultivation, three spears sufficed to cause his death. This spear in Prince Xue Ying's hand… must be an outstanding secret treasure! It enabled the 'Void Shatter' to unleash a greater force." Monarch Greedy Peng explained.

Those present nodded.

Breaking the combat formation first by bringing down the members.

Without protection from the combat formation, Old Devil Xue Fu's survival abilities would drastically reduce. But three spears sufficed to kill the other party? That felt too exaggerated. There was only one explanation–the spear was a horrifying secret treasure.

"These aren't the most amazing."

A smile also appeared on Southern Cloud King. He chuckled, "Breaking the combat formation or the secret spear treasure in his hand, these are secondary. What is most amazing about this little fellow Ying Shan Xue Ying is his domain technique! The law domain of Old Devil Xue Fu was quite perfected. It suppressed all ripples in the vicinity. But Ying Shan Xue Ying could still control the void and cause his spear to easily appear by the side of Old Devil Xue Fu. It is fine to reach this stage since according to logic, Old Devil Xue Fu should be able to react in time by sensing the changes in the void around him! But in reality, he a ninth level expert, someone who excels in close combat too, could not block a single move! Clearly, this void control method of Ying Shan Xue Ying has reached a profound stage that it was instantaneous and signless!"

"Mn."

"Yes."

All those present turned solemn.

That's right.

A domain technique that could render a ninth level expert helpless was indeed frightening.

Precisely because of this horrifying domain that it gave rise to a miraculous effect on using the crude and direct technique 'Void Shatter'!

"Those attacks could not even be blocked. Really frightening." Those present were overwhelmed with aghast.

"Old Mother, congratulations to you." Empress Ghost Li commended.

"Hahaha, Old Mother, it seems an amazing young fellow has appeared from your Ying Shan Clan." Monarch Sky Yin chuckled.

Old Mother Ying Shan was full of smiles too. Though she had some deductions in her heart. She had read before some of the scattered and broken records regarding the earliest period of Realm Heart Great Land on 'Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master'. That was someone famous for his void domain and fearless of group battles. Even Great Paragon Lu Tian who had an extremely high status in Fan Clan mentioned that Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master was not any weaker than him. Nevertheless, that era was before even the first War of the Ancient Nations. Many cultivation techniques were not created yet, and Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master died in the end due to his excessive stubbornness. If it were this era, it would be harder for him to die since many more survival secret techniques existed. Otherwise, how could even Snow Hook King with his arrogance survive?

'Little Fellow Xue Ying, is the reason why you sought to obtain this spearhead because of this?' Old Mother Ying Shan made her conjecture. The smile on her old face became more vibrant. It was merely 300 million cosmos crystals, yet it enabled her clan disciple 'Ying Shan Xue Ying' to learn such a fantastic cultivation technique and to reach such a strength. That was totally worth the price!

Southern Cloud Capita, within the residence of Fan Clan.

"This…" Fan Tian Chong's eyes were opened really wide. There were several other people around who stood up abruptly too as they watched with astonishment at the scene appearing on the Heaven Observation Mirror.

'What an amazing young fellow. This, this is way too shocking already.' Fan Tian Chong murmured inwardly. His judgment was acute. Furthermore, the inheritance of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master only existed in a single place across the entire Realm Heart Great Land–the Fan Clan. That was a cultivation technique kept within the clan and would never be spread outside! Because they were clear how powerful the "Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique" was.

'The reason why he has always been seeking that spearhead is to rely on it and comprehend the combat technique of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master?' Fan Tian Chong muttered in his mind, 'This comprehension skill is too frightening.'

Just by relying on the mystical imprints on the secret treasure to comprehend the combat technique, that was something challenging and comparable to creating it from scratch. Learning this technique under guidance from a complete absolute art would be much simpler.

'Fortunately… It is fortunate that he could only comprehend the weaker parts of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master's combat technique. It is not that easy to reach the more profound section.' Fan Tian Chong thought.

Black Devil Great Lake, within a vast, luxurious palace hall.

The three famous religious masters were seated at the highest spot here. There were seven other Cosmos Gods and a group of devil masters situated below them. The current atmosphere here was quite leisurely and carefree, and everyone was spectating the scene. To them, this was a joyous banquet, and they were happily watching the Blood Sacrifice of a city from Southern Cloud Nation.

"Mn?"

"This, how could this…?"

"How could this be?"

All of them were stunned.

Even the three religious masters who were seated high above became startled momentarily. It was at that moment the cheerful atmosphere in the hall changed drastically. Everyone became quiet.

"Who is this young man? How can he be this strong? Which tenth level expert in Realm Heart Great Land is actually staying temporarily in Ardent Fire City?" Yama Religious Master who was seated at the center of the three religious masters questioned nonchalantly. Clearly, he did not know who Xue Ying was. Furthermore, with his current status, he disdained in collecting information on such cultivators.

"Reporting to religious master, this young man is called Ying Shan Xue Ying." The incarnation of a thin green-haired old man immediately stood up and reported respectfully, "He is a disciple from the Ying Shan Clan. When he was given birth…"

Many other organizations were paying close notice to this from different locations, including the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, Snow Hook Nation, Maple Nest Nation, Moonflower Ancient Nation, and others. Even though they immediately noticed this white-robed young man, was startled at his power and began collecting detailed information regarding him…

The battle was still proceeding within the Ardent Fire City.

"What!"

The muscular twisted-horned male 'Chen Niu' who was originally leading three subordinates against Marquis Ardent Fire and his soldiers had been so frightened by this development that his expression changed. There was a reason why he was able to climb up to where he currently stood from his previous status at the lowest rung of Black Devil Great Land–it was due to Chen Niu's ability to seek luck and avoid the danger.

"Quickly flee now!" Chen Niu transmitted anxiously with a shout.

"Run!" The other three Primal Chaos devils were quivering. They were completely terrified! The team led by Old Devil Xue Fu wasn't any weaker than them, yet they were all extinguished within moments.

"Hong."

The four of them rapidly retreated. They maintained their domain to prevent Xue Ying from teleporting close to them. Once they were 50,000 kilometers away from Marquis Ardent Fire, they immediately removed their private law domain suppression and teleported away.

"Run!"

"That is too terrifying."

"Hurry up and escape!"

"If we are slow, we'd be dead for sure."

The other four hundred-devil teams were instinctually escaping away. Even the powerful Old Devil Xue Fu with his three Primal Chaos experts were extinguished in an instance. What could they do against that white-robed young man?

The pure and holy white-robed male who was originally seated at the highest position of Ardent Fire City had a slight change in his expression. He did not hesitate to keep the Blood Sacrificial Magic Bottle. At the same time, he gave the orders: "The Blood Sacrifice will temporarily stop."

"Yes."

The teams of devil scattered around the Ardent Fire City acknowledged immediately, causing many of the cultivators who were escaping in a panic to fall into a daze. Why did those devils suddenly stop?

The Blood Sacrificial Magic Bottle was kept temporarily.

At this moment, even if the killing continued, the energy essence that came from the dispersing soul would be wasted too. He would allow those cultivators to live for a slightly longer period.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying?" White Cloud Devil Master kept the Blood Sacrificial Magic Bottle. At the same time, his gaze was cast to the distant white-robed young man.
