Chapter 1038: The Battle between White Cloud Devil Master and Prince Xue Ying

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Within the Ardent Fire Marquisdom, the initially panicking Ying Shan Clan disciples that were running away in all directions suddenly stopped. They saw the white-robed young man who teleported over to the side of Marquis Ardent Fire.

"The devils left just like that?"

"It is Prince Xue Ying! Prince Xue Ying has just shua shua shua, and all four Primal Chaos devils are dead!"

"What? Four Primal Chaos devils? Doesn't that mean he is qualified to become a Conferred Marquis?"

"Right. In the blink of an eye, the four of them is extinguished, and the other devils are all escaping in fear."

The soldiers around Marquis Ardent Fire and those Ying Shan Clan disciples who spectated the battle were currently transmitting this news wildly.

As a result, many people within the Marquisdom started seeing Xue Ying in a different light; it was filled with worship.

Too amazing.

Even Marquis Ardent Fire with his 5,000 elite Ardent Fire soldiers was entirely suppressed, yet 'Prince Xue Ying' eliminated four Primal Chaos Devils after 'shua shua shua'? And the other devils were escaping in fear?

At this instance!

In the hearts of many Ying Shan Clan members within the Marquisdom, Xue Ying's status had drastically risen; it had surpassed that of Marquis Ardent Fire's.

Too amazing. Too heaven-defying!

"This is an absolute era transcendent of our Ying Shan Clan." Many Ying Shan Clan disciples were thus feeling proud and glorified. They stared at that figure in midair with admiration.

"Xue Ying, your strength is…" Marquis Ardent Fire looked at this white-robed young man in front of him. He did not dare believe it.

"Grandpa Marquis, this battle has yet to end. There is still another White Cloud Devil Master amongst them." Xue Ying mentioned, "In order to prevent them from distracting me by dealing against you, I'll temporarily keep all of you into my Eden treasure."

"Alright." Marquis Ardent Fire nodded.

He understood that in this battle between Xue Ying and White Cloud Devil Master, he would only be pulling down his side.

"Hu."

Xue Ying waved his hand.

Marquis Ardent Fire and his 5,000 elite Ardent Fire soldiers were all kept into his Eden treasure. They did not resist at all.

Following that, Xue Ying disappeared from the vicinity.

"Form the 'Great Black Devil Combat Formation'." Over at the side of Southern Cloud Sacred Palace, 12 Primal Chaos experts were teaming up against the incarnation of Monarch Chun Yu and had just extinguished the other party. And now, 'Chen Niu' led the three Primal Chaos experts over. They all felt how horrifying that white-robed young man was, and decided to form the 'Great Black Devil Combat Formation' at the earliest possible time.

The Black Devil Combat Formation was extremely complicated. It could only be established when the members were at the Primal Chaos realm.

Minimally, it required four Primal Chaos experts working together.

And the 'Great Black Devil Combat Formation', it was formed using four 'Black Devil Combat Formations', consisting of a total of 16 Primal Chaos experts. At the current moment, they had the right number for this formation.

"We have four Primal Chaos experts at the ninth level and 12 other Primal Chaos experts. After forming the Great Black Devil Combat Formation, we should be able to suppress even a Devil Master." These Primal Chaos Devils were all fully confident.

"Fool."

White Cloud Devil Master appeared with a teleportation.

"Devil Master." The 16 Primal Chaos Devils bowed respectfully.

"Xue Fu and the others were killed instantaneously. Did you all not see that? The combat formation is a joke in front of Prince Xue Ying. His spear technique could completely target the weakest link in the combat formation." White Cloud Devil Master sneered.

Everyone was greatly startled after hearing that.

What? Attack the weakest link?

It was not easy for a technique to target the weakest link without heeding the combat formation. And these techniques that could do so were not easily spread outside to the public. Furthermore, learning it was hard.

"The four of you leave behind. The other Primal Chaos experts should withdraw for now." White Cloud Devil Master waved his hand. He kept the other 12 Primal Chaos experts into his Eden treasure. Those devils did not resist. They were willing to hide temporarily. Hiding over at White Cloud Devil Master's place was something they felt rest assured of.

After all, if the formation were useless, these seventh and eighth level Primal Chaos experts would be massacred simply by Prince Xue Ying.

"The four of you team up to form a combat formation and watch by the side." White Cloud Devil Master said.

"Yes." Chen Niu and the other three ninth level experts immediately did so. At that instance, they began unleashing the techniques they specialized most, forming thunder and fire, some strange ripples, and even floating black clouds. Each of them was not weaker than Xue Fu, and by teaming up together, the outcome was an amplification of their strength. Naturally, they could stand by the side calmly.

"Leave this Prince Xue Ying to me." White Cloud Devil Master stood before the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

The Southern Cloud Sacred Palace was heavily locked down.

Over at the private cultivation room.

Chun Yu Wei Yi and the others were hiding here.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying?" Chun Yu Wei Yi controlled part of the array in Ardent Fire City. He was always observing the city, and also 'saw' how Xue Ying easily defeated the four Primal Chaos experts.

"We have hope. We have hopes of surviving." Chun Yu Wei Yi's eyes brightened.

"Hall Master, many people outside are transmitting about how Prince Xue Ying killed four Primal Chaos Devils, frightening the devils to a stop." The others within the cultivation room said.

Chun Yu Wei Yi nodded. He was slightly nervous: "We have to wait a little longer before finding out what the final outcome is."

With his identity, he was naturally clear of who that pure and holy white-robed male outside the hall was. That was one of the many terrifying Devil Masters from the Black Devil Great Lake!

Misty Cloud Pavilion.

"What? The devils have stopped?"

"Brother Lie Hu, we heard that it is your son Prince Xue Ying who left closed-door cultivation and killed four Primal Chaos Devils in an instance. That actually frightened the other devils."

By the side of a window in a pavilion within Misty Cloud Pavilion, Pavilion Master Chun Yu Feng and Ying Shan Lie Hu were stealing glances out of the window.

They could only see many teams of devils outside the place.

The devils had currently stopped and were no longer killing.

"It is my son?" Ying Shan Lie Hu blinked a few times.

"How would I dare to lie. It is my big brother who told me this personally. You should be a little careful. Big brother has ordered me to ensure your safety." The plump Chun Yu Feng was also nervously watching out the window.

"Sou."

A white-robed young man appeared.

Ying Shan Lie Hu watched as that white-robed young man appears in a daze.

Chun Yu Feng was even staring outside: "Prince Xue Ying."

"Father, don't resist." Xue Ying said.

"Ai." Ying Shan Lie Hu rapidly nodded.

Xue Ying kept his father into his Eden treasure with a wave of his hand. Following that, he turned to the distant, looking at how a pure and holy white-robed male was standing calmly. Xue Ying understood that the other party was waiting for him.

"Sou."

Xue Ying teleported over.

Before the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

Including Chen Niu, the four ninth level devils were standing by the side. They currently emanated a grand aura and were looking coldly at this white-robed young man that appeared.

'When did this Prince Xue Ying become so powerful? Marquis Ardent Fire is too lucky. Originally, after teaming up with Xue Fu, we could have killed Marquis Ardent Fire after a little longer.' Chen Niu thought, 'But there's no rush. After we handle this Prince Xue Ying, by then, it'll be easier to kill Marquis Ardent Fire.'

And on another side.

Xue Ying was also looking at this opponent in front.

He did not dare to underestimate the four Primal Chaos devils by the side because every member was incredibly strong. After forming a combat formation, they were even stronger. Naturally, the biggest threat was still this White Cloud Devil Master in front of him. White Cloud Devil Master's name sufficed to bring terror to many clans in the Black Devil Four Nations. His name was paved by an indeterminate number of corpses and bones. That was someone who could suppress new Cosmos Gods.

If this was in his previous life, Xue Ying was not the opponent of White Cloud Devil Master at his peak. Nevertheless, he had fortuitously gotten the complete Scarlet Cloud God Spear and cultivated for 1.5 billion years more. Hence, Xue Ying was no longer afraid of him.

"Prince Xue Ying." White Cloud Devil Master said. His voice was calm.

"White Cloud Devil Master." Xue Ying answered too. The tail of the Scarlet Cloud God Spear in his hand smashed down on the ground. It let out a sound of 'boom' which reverberated in the surrounding.

White Cloud Devil Master chuckled: "Prince Xue Ying, who would have thought that a genius like you would emerge from the Southern Cloud Nation. If this were a normal occasion, I would have invited you over for a few drinks. Reaching your level of strength, it is rare for us to have a life and death battle! But what a pity that this is the day of Blood Sacrifice, and that represents the face of my Black Devil Great Lake! I have to kill you. What a pity that a genius like you would be dying right after your appearance."

"Oh, White Cloud Devil Master really has a huge tone, at least it is bigger than your strength." Xue Ying responded.

Various organizations across the Realm Heart Great Land spectating this battle sighed inwardly.

This Prince Xue Ying seemed to be quite daring.

"Haha…" White Cloud Devil Master did not seem angry at all. His pure and holy aura became more concentrated, "If you were given sufficient time, it might be hard for me to kill you after you perfect your techniques. But for now? Those newly broken through Cosmos Gods aren't even my opponent, much less you?"

"Forget it if you plan on swaying my heart." Xue Ying said.

"That's good too."

White Cloud Devil Master softly nodded, "I believe at this moment, there should be quite a few organizations across the entire Realm Heart Great Land paying notice to this battle. Dying in such a situation would not be a shameful thing. Receive my move."

The moment he finished speaking.

"Hong~" Clouds suddenly appeared in the surrounding area spanning five million kilometers. Every piece of cloud rolled about. These pieces of cloud seemed soft and weak, yet they contained an incredibly terrifying might. Whenever the clouds passed through the pavilions on the ground, they would turn into flat ground. Even though other cultivators had already run far away and did not dare to stay close to this battlefield, the region of five million kilometers was too vast, and some weaker cultivators did not have sufficient time to escape. They died from the shockwave of the clouds.

In this region spanning five million kilometers, even the outer structure of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace had turned into dust, leaving behind just the core palaces that flashed with the light of array. These palaces were barely holding on.

And that was when the cloud reached Xue Ying.

Chapter 1039: The Battle between White Cloud Devil Master and Prince Xue Ying (2)

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Many weak cultivators were annihilated by the shockwaves from the battle. The moment Xue Ying saw that, his pupils dilated. He did not have sufficient time to save them since the domain of the enemy had been unleashed with a single thought.

"Don't think how formidable this Prince Xue Ying was, who knows he might just turn into fine powder under Devil Master's domain."

"He, he has entered closed-door cultivation for 1.5 billion years and should likely not own any secret protective treasure. It seems his Southern Cloud Sacred Body had not been cultivated to a profound realm, and he should not be able to survive Devil Master's domain."

Not far away, the four ninth level devils were discussing among each other.

They were confident of White Cloud Devil Master.

"Hong~"

Soon, the rolling clouds reached where Xue Ying was.

"Break." Xue Ying held onto the Scarlet Cloud God Spear. With a thought, the Scarlet Cloud Domain was released.

One could see the void within the region spanning five million kilometers surging like a tsunami. Each void wave contained many ripples within, and this tsunami clashed against the cloud. At the next instance, the void wave gradually became weaker while there were only about five to six layers of vapor remaining behind.

'It is indeed the Cloud Scripture from the Ten Holy Scriptures and is well known for its tyrannical power. My Scarlet Cloud Domain specialize more in controlling the void, and is weaker in a direct clash.' Xue Ying thought.

"Hong long long~"

The rolling clouds rushed up against the body of Xue Ying. Nevertheless, the surrounding void became distorted. Those clouds were twisted and forced away into other places. Furthermore, the surface of Xue Ying's body contained some strange spatial maelstrom fluctuations–it was akin to three void stairs revolving around his body that drilled away all incoming force. One could even describe this like a thousand inbound techniques, yet not a single one could reach the cultivator.

"What!" The four other ninth level experts were startled.

"He survived?"

"That is one of the Ten Holy Scriptures!"

In terms of cultivation difficulty, the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles was indeed known for being simple to cultivate. But in terms of strength, it was considered top-grade. Nevertheless, only two secret impartations had reached the tenth level strength. There were quite a few secret impartation techniques within the six great ancient nations that were stronger than the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles! Naturally, the price of cultivation was higher.

To reach the tenth level strength using the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles firstly, the Southern Cloud Sacred Body had to achieve grand perfection tenth level. This meant that the body would have been cultivated to a degree comparable to secret treasures. All sorts of precious materials would be used during this refinement process, adding up to a price of about two billion cosmos crystals. Furthermore, those materials were quite rare, and some could not be bought even with cosmos crystals.

As for the cultivation technique which White Cloud Devil Master practiced in, its origin was more prominent.

It came from an ancient nation stronger than Summer Wind Ancient Nation of the six great ancient nations, the 'Myriad Realm Ancient Nation'. This Cloud Scripture was one of the Ten Holy Scriptures, and just learning it and training to the tenth level strength required a price of five billion cosmos crystals. The moment one succeeded, the survival capability of the cultivator would not be any weaker than that of the Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Furthermore, it contained various domain techniques and killing moves that had reached the tenth level strength!

"You aren't using the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles." White Cloud Devil Master chuckled as he walked over.

"You should receive one of my moves too."

Xue Ying suddenly shot out his spear.

"Hu."

The Scarlet Cloud Domain was weaker than the other party in terms of pure suppressive power. Nevertheless, it was much stronger in twisting the void. Both parties were originally very far away, but when Xue Ying struck out with his spear, it had strangely arrived by the forehead of White Cloud Devil Master.

"Hu." White Cloud Devil Master's palm was already in the way of the spear by then, causing the spear to strike his palm instead.

Everywhere the spearhead passed through collapsed and was destroyed.

"Peng!"

Even half the palm of White Cloud Devil Master exploded. He frowned slightly. That palm of his was covered in cloud, and it soon condensed and recovered back to its original shape.

"What an amazing void domain. Even I could not suppress it. I can only barely sense the traces of your spear." White Cloud Devil Master casually mentioned it. At the next instance, his palm suddenly shot out. "Hu", the palm expanded, reaching an area spanning tens of thousands of kilometers. This cloud palm blasted at Xue Ying.

"Break." Xue Ying did not dodge. He directly pierced his spear against that palm.

"Hong–"

The palm was fiercely forced down onto the ground, causing a huge hole to form across the region. Furthermore, a hole was also created on the palm which rapidly solidified back to its original shape.

Within the enormous gouge, there was a hole where one could not see the end.

"Hope you did not die from my slap." White Cloud Devil Master chuckled as he stared down. Following that, the cloud moved downwards and blasted against the hole.

"Xiu."

A spear shadow was suddenly thrust upwards. Following that, it had somehow appeared before the chest of White Cloud Devil Master. He did not have the time to defend himself, allowing that spear to pierce through his chest. "Weng–" The body of White Cloud Devil Master trembled violently. That large palm which he unleashed previously was jolted.

"So fast!" White Cloud Devil Master's expression changed. He took a deep breath. At that moment, the rolling cloud headed into his mouth. The power of his body was visibly rising too.

Xue Ying took this chance to scuttle up from underground. He landed by the side of the land: 'The Void Shatter is ultimately only a tenth level move. I must rely on the Scarlet Cloud God Spear to reach the peak of the ninth level! Even though it is known for its power, and could barely reach the tenth level power in terms of pure offensive strength, but even if I relied on the Scarlet Cloud Domain, White Cloud Devil Master could still survive from this move. His body could aggregate and dissipate in impermanence, rendering my domain useless towards influencing his combat strength. Instead, it is the peak ninth level move 'Piercing Void' that is slightly weaker but more unpredictable which the opponent could not block.'

Xue Ying had researched five great killing moves over the 1.5 billion years since he got the Scarlet Cloud God Spear.

Of which there was a combined assault technique which he could not unleash without an avatar.

As for the other four great killing moves…

The strongest belonged to the 'Scarlet Cloud Domain'. Just by comprehending the mystical imprints on the god spear, Xue Ying was able to understand this domain that reached the ninth level strength! The difficulty of comprehending this technique was not any weaker as compared to creating a ninth level move. By relying on the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, he could even erupt with a tenth level power! That was temporarily the only tenth level move which Xue Ying had.

And the other killing moves were all at the peak of the eighth level! By relying on the spear, they could only reach the peak of the ninth level strength.

No other choice.

In his previous life, Xue Ying had only created two ninth level techniques. Even with the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, those techniques belonged to the void lineage, and 1.5 billion years was ultimately too short for Xue Ying. It was quite surprising that he could deduce a ninth level move already.

As for the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles, since Xue Ying had too few treasures with him, he merely reached the eighth level in the Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Hence, it was impossible for him to cultivate the two secret impartation techniques! He was only at the ninth level strength. Even though his spear was mighty, Xue Ying could only unleash the peak of the ninth level power. After all, the Scarlet Cloud God Spear required the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique to acquire perfect integration.

The five great killing moves that Xue Ying deduced were actually a tiny portion from the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique.

"Die for me." After failing consecutively, White Cloud Devil Master began feeling frustrated. He swallowed in a large amount of white fog, causing his body to coalesce to a limit. This was another type of combat technique which the Cloud Scripture had.

"Kill."

He directly charged over. His speed reached a new limit, and with a boom, he smashed his fist out.

Xue Ying met this fist with his spear directly. Clearly, Xue Ying wanted to fight head-on against the other party. Nevertheless, the outcome was a surging power that transmitted through the spear. Xue Ying felt the spear in his hand vibrating. Many void ripples formed on the spear, yet it was futile in dissipating all incoming force. In the end, Xue Ying was forced backward as a stream of light.

"Hong." His body struck fiercely onto the ground, forming a deep hole of several hundred kilometers in diameter.

"If you were given sufficient time, you might be able to fight against me. But now? You aren't my opponent!" White Cloud Devil Master's body flashed. He pursued after Xue Ying and slapped his palm over once again.

"Peng, peng, peng…"

Even though Xue Ying was using his spear, he was forced back after simply touching with the incoming palm and fist. At this moment, White Cloud Devil Master was extremely fierce.

"Pu."

Even though Xue Ying had three maelstrom stairs revolving and protecting his body, he was ultimately injured to the point of spurting a mouth of fresh blood.

"I am still quite lacking when fighting against in head-on." Xue Ying grinned. He had finally experienced what it meant to be a tenth level expert on the Realm Heart Great Land.

White Cloud Devil Master was stunned.

"I shall not play with you anymore." Xue Ying turned around and left.

"Thinking of escaping?" White Cloud Devil Master suddenly expanded his mouth. His head rapidly turned big, and just by opening his mouth, it was akin to sucking in the world! He was trying to suck Xue Ying back and clearly wanted to eat the other party with a single mouth. He could see that this Prince Xue Ying had some formidable protective cultivation technique that even though it might not be strong, it was still possible for White Cloud Devil Master to 'digest' Xue Ying using his own secret technique into powder over time.

He had once swallowed a newly emerged tenth level expert from the Fiery Zhao Nation, trapping him in his body. The enemy could not escape either. Over time, his White Cloud Sacred Body had forcefully refined the other party. Only after several tens of thousands of years did the enemy finally succumb to it… Fiery Zhao King even personally negotiated with the Black Devil Great Land to pay a huge price for White Cloud Devil Master to let the enemy off.

"Sou." Xue Ying naturally understood the 'Heaven Devour Refining' killing move the other party had. With a sway of his body, he had appeared several tens of thousands of kilometers away, arriving where the four ninth level experts were.

Under his Scarlet Cloud Domain.

Even if he could not teleport, Xue Ying could still distort the void and travel far away with a single step.

"Damn." White Cloud Devil Master's expression changed, "This Ying Shan Xue Ying's domain is too strange. He can escape whenever he wants."

The Scarlet Cloud Domain that reached the tenth level strength was clearly horrifying.

Like the Cloud Scripture, the Myriad Realm Ancient Nation was still willing to impart it to outsiders as long as the other party paid a sufficiently large price. But the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique was something only the Fan Clan from Summer Wind Ancient Nation had. It was impossible to learn it even if one paid a considerable price. According to rumors, only the three great clans within the Summer Wind Ancient Nation could learn it after paying another enormous price. For those people outside the nation? It was impossible for them to learn it.

The stronger the cultivation technique, the harder it was to learn it.

"Since I can't kill White Cloud, killing you all is fine too." Xue Ying looked at the four ninth level experts in front. He grinned.

"What gall!"

"Madness."

The four ninth level devils were furious too. They had already formed a combat formation and were not even afraid of fighting against White Cloud Devil Master. So why would they be afraid of dealing against this Xue Ying?

"Team up and kill him!" White Cloud Devil Master also roared out loud. Even though he was extremely proud, he understood that it was impossible for him to kill this Prince Xue Ying alone.

Chapter 1040: Joint Attack

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The four ninth level experts were in a combat formation currently. They were emitting a torrential killing intent. After forming a formation, they even dared to fight against Devil Masters and were thus confident of facing Xue Ying. One of them, a white-haired blood-robed old man, softly swished his sleeves.

The movement seemed as light as a wind blowing on a cloud, yet it was a killing move.

After all, not every Primal Chaos expert loved close combat. For instance, Xue Ying in his previous life rarely engaged in close combat after comprehending the Mirage and illusory realm.

"Mn?"

Xue Ying's expression slightly changed.

The Scarlet Cloud Domain which he maintained all the time sensed a very tiny fluctuation. That white-haired blood-robed old man merely swished his sleeves, and that ripple had arrived over at his location. Even his 'Scarlet Cloud Domain' did not have sufficient time to divert that ripple away. By relying on the combat formation, the technique had been promoted to the tenth level power, and it was no longer the same technique as previously.

"Weng." The ripples assailed Xue Ying at the next instance.

The three maelstrom void stairways surrounding Xue Ying had isolated 70-80% of the incoming force, leaving behind the rest that blasted on Xue Ying's body. It forced his body back in a rumble. Even his mind and soul were ringing from the force!

The eighth level of Southern Cloud Sacred Body was still too weak in battles at this level! Fortunately, Xue Ying's current realm was high enough. His understanding of the 'void-ification' reached a profound stage. Most bloodline cultivators primarily relied on absolute arts. But for Xue Ying, he cultivated the laws and profound mysteries system too. Even if his body was frail, he could still utilize the profound technique, 'void-ification'.

Xue Ying had after all trained in the inheritance of Monarch Nine Cloud and the Walker's Hidden Secret in his previous life, and both arts emphasized on 'void-ification'. Xue Ying also comprehended over General Mo Gu's scaled-armor and had once desired to achieve the 'pinnacle of void-ification' at the Primal Chaos realm. It's a pity that he had entered a battle with Sacred Master not too long after obtaining the scaled-armor, and was thus forced into reincarnation.

Nevertheless, Xue Ying's foundation of the void-ification aspect was firm. By relying on the laws and profound mysteries system, he could shave off 90% of the incoming force, allowing him to survive the strike with his Southern Cloud Sacred Body.

"Yi? His body should be slightly weaker, yet he actually survived?" The white-haired blood-robed old man who unleashed the killing move gritted his teeth after seeing it. He sent the same move once again.

"Hu hu hu."

Many extremely tiny ripples were shot over. Even though Xue Ying felt his body rumbling from the assault, it did not affect his combat.

'The Realm Heart Great Land is different from the Primal Chaos Void. There are many more combat techniques here! Hence, in order to survive, I must cover up all my weaknesses.' Xue Ying understood this point. Currently, his greatest deficiency was his body. Even though the eighth level of Southern Cloud Sacred Body was just two levels off from grand perfection, there existed a qualitative difference.

This difference of two levels would result in an outcome of a huge massacre.

At this moment, both White Cloud Devil Master and the four ninth level expert working together in a combat formation had reached the tenth level combat power.

"Die." White Cloud Devil Master did not care about his reputation as he sneaked an attack at Xue Ying. He opened his bloody mouth and wanted to swallow Xue Ying in a single move.

Xue Ying hurriedly evaded the attack. He teleported over a distance of several thousand kilometers. At the same time, he hacked his spear directly over, arriving directly by the side of White Cloud Devil Master's big mouth. "Hong long–" White Cloud Devil Master was smashed, yet his body remained perfectly fine–though it jolted momentarily, causing his offense to be affected.

"Hong!"

A thunder-fire suddenly came down at the next moment.

Its speed was fast. Even though it wasn't as fast as the ripple which came practically without a time interval, Xue Ying did not have sufficient time to evade this technique too. That thunder-fire struck his body. Though it seemed as if his body was in another world. Hence, the thunder-fire blasted onto the ground, causing a bottomless abyss to form.

'Suffering from two consecutive moves?' Xue Ying felt his body becoming numb. White Cloud Devil Master then came with another sneak attack.

"Hou~"

Of the four ninth level experts, Chen Niu finally guided the entire formation to release a move.

As the power from the combat formation had to gather unto one person before it could release a tenth level power technique, the four experts could only release moves in succession. Otherwise, if they were to release them simultaneously, the power of the techniques would be significantly reduced.

An enormous ax appeared in the hands of Chen Niu, and it was sent hacking down in Xue Ying's direction. He was someone who preferred close combat.

'Fortunately, the other two are slower in attacking.' Xue Ying let out a sigh of relief. He understood the techniques those ninth level devils specialized a long time ago.

Some techniques could not be dodged.

For instance, his illusory realm technique and the Destruction Flower technique in his previous life directly descend and could not be dodged! The enemy had to suffer from the brunt of the moves!

This time, of the four ninth level devils, one specialized in a ripple destruction technique which would reach him in an instance–it could not be dodged! That 'thunder-fire' could possibly be dodged though it was too fast and this body of Xue Ying was still too weak. Hence, he did not have enough time to evade it. But the following two moves were easier.

"Hong.""Hong.""Hong."

Chen Niu led the combat formation and engaged in close combat together with White Cloud Devil Master. Usually, in close battles, techniques had many different styles and changes. Once two close combat experts worked together well, their power would significantly increase.

Nevertheless, Xue Ying's figure remained like an apparition. Furthermore, when his spear started moving, it moved in a strange manner that drew void streams along. The spear ran smoothly like the river flow. It would rely on the incoming force to rebound with a higher power. Even though it was a one-on-two battle, it proceeded in an incredibly smooth fashion.

"Restrict."

Chen Niu retreated, switching to another cold young man who led the formation this time.

"Hong."

At that time, a dark green serpent condensed out from nothing. It attempted to restrict Xue Ying.

'I must not be caught.' Xue Ying understood this point. The moment he was bound by the serpent, White Cloud Devil Master would be able to swallow him with a gulp, and things would be troublesome after that.

The four experts in the combat formation had their own killing moves. At this moment, they were sending move after move at the peak of the tenth level power. They were working together with White Cloud Devil Master to jointly attack Xue Ying.

And in the Southern Cloud Capital, within the residence of the Fan Clan.

"This power is unquestionably at the tenth level." Fan Tian Chong praised in his heart as he watched the Heaven Observation Mirror.

To grasp a technique at the tenth level of power after cultivating for 1.5 billion years.

Even though there were many experts and formidable techniques within the Realm Heart Great Land, allowing for disciples to be nurtured easily, Xue Ying was considered quite heaven-defying already. In the Summer Wind Ancient Nation and the Myriad Realm Ancient Nation, there were quite a few of such era transcendent talents. Nevertheless, Xue Ying was the most heaven-defying one in the history of the Southern Cloud Nation.

'He is indeed using the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique. But I wonder to what extent has he comprehended it to.' Fan Tian Chong thought. After all, he was not of the void lineage, and could barely make his deduction through the Heaven Observation Mirror.

He was currently conveying the information with the internal department of his clan.

Very soon, the clan had a set of instruction.

"According to a deduction from that spear which Ying Shan Xue Ying has, it should be the Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear owned by Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master. He should have comprehended the Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear and deduced these killing techniques. Currently, he can unleash the four great killing moves from the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique. Just by comprehending these four moves, with his comprehension ability, it is likely that he should have comprehended the fifth killing move, the 'combined technique'. Compared to the complete Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique, he is only lacking the Scarlet Cloud Magic Body."

The Scarlet Cloud Magic Body was known for its indestructible prowess.

"But he should have deduced the domain technique to its limit, reaching the ninth level power. By relying on the Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear, he can unleash a power at the tenth level. As for the other three great killing moves, he should only be able to reach the peak of the ninth level by relying on the Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear."

"With his comprehension ability, if sufficient time is given, he would definitely comprehend all five great killing moves at the Primal Chaos realm from the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique."

"That Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear is slightly too wasteful in his hands. Tian Chong, you should try and see if it is possible to buy that Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear from Ying Shan Xue Ying."

Fan Tian Chong was currently thinking over the message transmitted over from the clan.

The clan did not seem to mind it too much.

Because it was still the Cosmos Gods that determined the strength of an organization in the Realm Heart Great Land! Hence, the most precious portion of the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique was its Cosmos God section.

Many Cosmos Gods did not have formidable absolute arts–they could only reach the tenth level power, and was comparable to White Cloud Devil Master and Xue Ying. Want to become stronger? They had to obtain powerful absolute arts at the Cosmos God level. It was too difficult trying to learn them. Most cosmos Gods were forced to join some powerful organizations like the six great ancient nations.

And from then on, they had to fight for the six great ancient nations. Only then could they obtain the profound part of the absolute arts.

Like the Cloud Scripture from the Ten Holy Scriptures, it could be imparted to outsiders, but it would only reach the tenth level at most. Want to learn a more profound technique? The cultivator would have to join the 'Myriad Realm Ancient Nation' and fight for it. It was equivalent to selling his body. Once the cultivator decided to join the nation, he would be restricted by many secret techniques, and could no longer betray the country from henceforth.

'It is indeed slightly wasteful for the Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear to be given to this Ying Shan Xue Ying.' Fan Tian Chong thought, 'Such a powerful secret treasure could simply be given to Cosmos Gods who cultivated the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique to use.'

Within the Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

There were a few Cosmos Gods who cultivated the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique.

Naturally, there was only one who reached the grand perfection and was not any weaker than Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master, a Holy Paragon from one of the three great clans in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, 'Cang Clan'. Strictly speaking, this Holy Paragon was slightly weaker than Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master in the past. After all, he had experienced two War of the Ancient Nations, and there were many available absolute art secret techniques nowadays with more survival techniques. That Holy Paragon did not need to have this Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear because he had already refined a powerful secret treasure suitable for him.

But other Cosmos Gods still required the spear within the ancient nation.

'I must get it.'

'But I must not snatch it in broad daylight.' Fan Tian Chong thought, 'After all, he has reached the tenth level power, and Southern Cloud King would certainly protect him.'

Within the Southern Cloud Nation, there were three Monarchs and five tenth level Conferred Kings. These were the most critical support the Southern Cloud King had, and he would not heed the price to protect them. It was impossible for the Fan Clan to snatch these people away.

If Xue Ying was a weak little Conferred Marquis, it was possible for the Fan Clan to snatch him away soundlessly.

'I must think of a way.' Fan Tian Chong thought.

Within the bamboo house surrounded by flowing water.

The violet-robed girl 'Qian Yi Xiao' who was previously calmly embroidering, currently stood there in a daze. The embroidery needle in her hand had fallen onto the ground.

"What?" Qian Yi Xiao did not dare believe it.

"Tenth level of power?" Qian Yi Xiao was startled. Her Qian Yi Clan did not have someone at the tenth level power within the Southern Cloud Nation. During crucial moments, they had to dispatch an expert from within the Moonflower Ancient Nation over.

Tenth level power…

That was considered at the apex even within the Black Devil Four Nations and the Black Devil Great Lake. During the conflict between Old Mother Ying Shan and their Qian Yi Clan, there was no way for ordinary Primal Chaos experts to barge in.

"That Ying Shan Xue Ying? Has become so powerful?" Qian Yi Xiao frowned slightly. The Ying Shan Clan currently had two tenth level experts, and it was time for them to change their plan of treating the Ying Shan Clan.

As Xue Ying fought with White Cloud Devil Master and the four ninth level experts, various superpowers were also paying close notice to this battle. They were closely determining the power which Xue Ying had. No matter what, the surrounding nations understood that a new absolute expert at the tenth level power had emerged.

Chapter 1041: Withdraw!

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

As the side from the Black Devil Great Lake attacked Xue Ying, even though it might seem they held the upper hand, they felt bitter in their hearts.

"Devil Master, he is always paying close notice to my attack. That spear technique is too strange. I've already suffered from over 50% damage." The cold teen transmitted anxiously.

"Hu."

That spear in Xue Ying's hand rotated. It was like a Flood Dragon that distorted its surrounding void. At the same time, this spear was also like a God Dragon that could not see its tail. The next moment this spear appeared, it would be right before a Primal Chaos devil.

That spear would then pierce forward.

Even though the devils were protected by the combat formation, that cold teen still suffered from the strange convergence of force from the maelstrom void stairways. This rotating 'void maelstrom' was actually the revolution of countless void pieces which tunneled into the chest of that cold teenager. It was also frantically cutting his body. Even if his body was naturally recovering from the damages, he had suffered from the consumption of lifeforce.

"What a strange spear technique." White Cloud Devil Master started feeling frustrated too, "Previously, that combat formation formed by Xue Fu and the others have been destroyed by this strange spear technique. It easily pierced and exterminated the three weaker Primal Chaos experts. Who would have thought that after four ninth level experts worked together, increasing the power of the combat formation, this spear technique could still forcefully permeate to its target, injuring even 'Yin Fu'."

"Go."

Xue Ying's figure was unpredictable. His spear continued circling as he struck out time after time.

With his void distortion technique, it was easy for Xue Ying to leave the place. Why the need to stake his life against the joint attack and continue retaliating? It was done to force these devils to fight against him. Otherwise, those devils would simply massacre the entire city sacrifice all civilians.

'Old Devil Yin Fu is the one with the weakest body amongst the four ninth level experts! According to this move that I comprehended from the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, the 'Piercing Void', even though there is the presence of the combat formation obstructing my move, it merely reduced 30% of the force. The remaining 70% is sufficient to cause injuries on Old Devil Yin Fu.' Xue Ying thought, 'He can't hold on for too long.'

What a pity.

Xue Ying had merely reached the peak of the ninth level in the five moves he comprehended using the Scarlet Cloud God Spear other than the 'Scarlet Cloud Domain' which had reached the tenth level.

If this 'Piercing Void' technique had reached the tenth level power, Xue Ying would be able to severely injure Old Devil Yin Fu with a single strike. Three strikes and the other party would be dead! These old devils would definitely flee after that.

Though Xue Ying did not mind being tangled up with the enemies. He was currently relying on this rare opportunity to refine himself as such life-death situations were hard to find.

Only when he battled in such condition could Xue Ying understand and comprehend more of the profound mysteries of his spear technique.

"I have suffered more than 70% injuries." Old Devil Yin Fu anxiously transmitted.

"We can't kill him."

"His domain is too hard to overwhelm. His spear technique is too formidable too."

The other old devils were starting to get anxious.

They tried all methods with White Cloud Devil Master. They wanted to eliminate this Xue Ying before Old Devil Yin Fu could no longer hold on.

"Alas, are we going to fail?" White Cloud Devil Master looked at that white-robed young man whose figure was continually moving. He vaguely understood that they could not win even with the aid of a combat formation, much less when he fought by himself.

Actually, most experts at the tenth level would not be able to handle the other party.

At this moment, what they were competing were their absolute art techniques.

The extremely formidable ones would have more amazing techniques.

'Originally, I thought we could still bully this Ying Shan Xue Ying seeing that he has cultivated for only a short period. Who would have thought that we failed.' White Cloud Devil Master sighed inwardly. A single tenth level technique, the 'Scarlet Cloud Domain', allowed Xue Ying to remain undefeated. Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master was known for 'being unafraid in group battles, and his void domain'. Naturally, there must be a reason for this.

Naturally, there were ways to break the 'Scarlet Cloud Domain', albeit White Cloud Devil Master was not qualified to learn them.

"I can't hold on any longer. I'll not continue to fight anymore" Old Devil Yin Fu anxiously shouted.

"Alright."

The other three devils did not go against him.

White Cloud Devil Master had even gone up to wave his hand. The enormous cloud technique enveloped the four of them. The four did not resist and were directly brought into his Eden Treasure.

"Religious Master, what should we do?"

White Cloud Devil Master directly contacted the third-ranked in Black Devil Great Lake, 'Blood Devil Religious Master'.

The three religious masters heading the three great sects within the Black Devil Great Lake were all famous across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. The six great ancient nations had a hard time dealing with the three of them. White Cloud Devil Master naturally belonged to the sect under 'Blood Devil Religious Master'.

"This Ying Shan Xue Ying is very amazing in his control of the void. He could completely fight with my true body! I could simply send my incarnations elsewhere to massacre… but he can similarly save those civilians after sending his incarnations elsewhere too. Furthermore, that Marquis Ardent Fire would definitely be released to save the many civilians too. Furthermore, it is likely that more than half the team of Unity realm experts which I brought would be killed."

"If we were to withdraw, that Ying Shan Xue Ying should know how to let us off."

White Cloud Devil Master asked the Religious Master.

At this moment, he could not control the Blood Sacrificial Magic Bottle. Even if he killed, it was merely for the sake of 'venting his frustration'. But precisely because Xue Ying's control of the void was more formidable, he would only be able to kill less than half the civilians in this city.

"Withdraw." Blood Devil Religious Master gave his answer.

"Yes."

White Cloud Devil Master immediately acknowledged the order.

"Withdraw!"

With an order, he sent it to his subordinates.

"Yes."

All the Unity realm devils located across the Ardent Fire City began teleporting away. These Unity realm devils could only teleport a short distance and were slower in withdrawing.

White Cloud Devil Master stopped.

Xue Ying stopped too. He held his spear while standing amidst a piece of ruins.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying, I would never have thought that this Blood Sacrifice which I am hosting will be felled in your hands." White Cloud Devil Master chuckled, "It is not an injustice for the Blood Sacrifice to fail with an expert at the tenth level intervening."

In history, the Black Devil Great Lake would frequently send cities to a Blood Sacrifice.

There would be the occasional problem arising once the count of Blood Sacrifices progressed. For instance, a tenth level expert might just coincidentally be staying within the city, or a Cosmos God from the six great ancient nations might just coincidentally bypass the location. For the sake of his own reputation and for the purpose of not lowering his head, these Cosmos Gods naturally acted.

Hence, there would be occasional failures too.

"You are from the Black Devil Four Nations, and I am from the Black Devil Great Lake. In the future, we would fight again." White Cloud Devil Master chuckled.

"Hua."

His figure suddenly dissipated.

Closely following that, many clouds began condensing over at the distant walls of the Ardent Fire City. It condensed back into White Cloud Devil Master. Many other Unity realm devils were also rushing over there at this moment.

Xue Ying watched from afar. The most crucial palace hall from what was left of the original Southern Cloud Sacred Palace also started opening. Chun Yu Wei Yi and the others began walking out. They were staring to the distance with some slight fear.

'Fortunately, he did not turn mad.' Xue Ying thought.

If the other turned mad and proceeded with venting his anger by massacring, the Ardent Fire City would likely lose half its civilians. Even though Xue Ying would kill off half the opposing Unity realm devils, Xue Ying still did not like this outcome.

Black Devil Great Lake, within a grand palace hall.

The three religious masters were seated high above.

"Haha, Third Brother, it seems this Blood Sacrifice which you are responsible for has failed." The black-robed middleaged male lightly chuckled. With his identity, he did not care about some minor failures. After all, it was not a loss of reputation as a tenth level expert had intervened.

"Third Brother, it seems your temper is quite good. You actually did not let your subordinates carry out a massacre?" The cheerful old man to the left laughed too.

"Big Brother, Second Brother."

The sickly-looking green-robed male indifferently smiled, "Since we failed, there is no need to carry out a massacre."

"Third Brother is benevolent." The black-robed middleaged male said. He understood the benevolence which his third brother had. It was not done for the sake of those cultivators. Instead, it was done for the batches of Unity realm devil teams.

The three religious masters were quite overprotective of their followers. Only then would they be willing to follow after them.

But there were differences in their degree of overprotectiveness. The 'Blood Devil Religious Master' was the one who was the most overprotective out of the three.

"It seems this Ying Shan Xue Ying has a formidable domain technique?"

"His spear technique is formidable too, that it could break the combat formation?"

Within this palace hall, the other Cosmos Gods and Devil Masters were discussing amongst themselves.

Within the royal palace at the Southern Cloud Nation.

Southern Cloud King watched as the battle proceeded. Seeing how White Cloud Devil Master brought his devils in a retreat, this king began smiling too: "Hahaha, the civilians of this Ardent Fire City have Ying Shan Xue Ying to thank this time. He not only saved this city, but also fought for the glory of my Southern Cloud Nation."

Chapter 1042: Kind Intention

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"The Blood Sacrifice of the Black Devil Great Lake actually failed this time. In the end, they were forced to return with their tails between their legs. How great and awesome is this!" Monarch Chun Yu was laughing out loud too.

Monarch Greedy Peng grinned: "Ying Shan Xue Ying has been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. He shouldn't have sufficient time to gather precious materials, and according to what Teacher said previously, his Southern Cloud Sacred Body should only be at the eighth level. Nevertheless, he was able to unleash the 'Void Shatter'. That move is clearly a ninth level move, yet he did not rely on the power from his Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Instead, he has thoroughly comprehended this technique. It seems that given his realm, it is possible for him to grasp the two secret impartation techniques after reaching the tenth level in the Southern Cloud Sacred Body."

"Mn."

"Right."

Those present all nodded.

By relying on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body, it was ten times easier grasping techniques at the same level. This was one of the greatest reasons why this absolute art had such tremendous influencing power.

Given how powerful and experienced the Southern Cloud King was, his judgment would certainly be accurate; he was able to ascertain with a glance that Xue Ying had reached just the eighth level of the Southern Cloud Sacred Body.

"He did not rely on the sacred body to grasp the 'Void Shatter' and 'Realm Heart Blade'." Southern Cloud King's eyes were filled with a strand of satisfaction. He continued praising, "Furthermore, the void domain which he unleashed should be deduced from the secret treasure god spear, allowing him to reach the tenth level power. Given that the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles has detailed guidance, it would be much easier for him to grasp it. Thus, it is almost certain that he would be able to grasp the two secret impartation styles after reaching grand perfection in the sacred body."

"Congratulations Teacher." Monarch Golden Peng added, "I'll be having a formidable junior disciple brother in the future."

The other Monarchs and Conferred Kings were inwardly muttering about how quick the reaction of this Monarch Greedy Peng was.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying is an absolute genius in the void lineage. It is highly possible for him to become a Cosmos God after joining the sect of you, King."

"In terms of cultivators in the void lineage, few has attainments comparable to that of King across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. It is Ying Shan Xue Ying's honor to join the King's sect."

"Congratulations, King."

All of them added.

Even Old Mother Ying Shan congratulated the King as well. They were able to perceive the happiness Southern Cloud King had given how he was currently beaming.

Southern Cloud King chuckled: "Haha, a teacher could choose a disciple, but the disciple has to choose the teacher too. I might be interested, but it'll have to depend on Ying Shan Xue Ying too! After all, this battle should be made known by the neighboring countries. Even the Summer Wind Ancient Nation will know about it, and they would likely take the initiative of inviting him as a disciple."

Old Mother Ying Shan felt enlightened. She immediately responded: "King, I'll go and ask that child Xue Ying and see what he currently thinks."

"Remember not to force him." Southern Cloud King reminded.

Xue Ying was absolutely a genius to reach the tenth level power with just 1.5 billion years of cultivation. He would undoubtedly be incorporated to the core level of any prominent organizations even if it were from one of the six great ancient nations.

Actually, the Black Devil Four Nations were the most concerned over the Blood Sacrifice of Black Devil Great Lake.

The Fiery Zhao Nation, Maple Nest Nation, and the Snow Hook Nation had already been paying close notice to the proceedings through the Heaven Observation Mirror.

"Hmph, that Southern Cloud King is too lucky. Why can't such a genius come out from my Snow Hook Nation too? The possibility of nurturing this genius to become a Cosmos God will be huge. By then, I'd have another aide." The Snow Hook King sat cross-legged on his jade bed. At the center of the palace hall, there was a deep gouge within. Currently, many poisonous snakes and bugs were biting each other.

The Snow Hook King would occasionally throw some precious world materials into it, bringing about a greater madness between the poisonous organisms within the gouge.

"Such a tiny place like Southern Cloud Nation could actually produce a genius expert like him? He has reached the tenth level strength after cultivating for 1.5 billion years?" Other than the three great clans with transcendental statuses, there were many other clans in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation too. These clans were relying on the three great clans behind their backs. Nevertheless, some of these clans were not any weaker than the entire Southern Cloud Nation. Naturally, they felt superior to the Southern Cloud Nation.

There were not many experts whom they respected. Most were usually experts like Old Mother Ying Shan who had reached the tenth level. As for 'Southern Cloud King'? He was after all one the religion master of one of the top ten great religions across the Realm Heart Great Land. Many cultivators in the six great ancient nations worshipped Southern Cloud King even.

This time, the appearance of Xue Ying naturally invited a lot of attention. Such cultivation speed was qualified to be ranked in the top 20 even within the history of Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

Ardent Fire City.

Within the Marquisdom. Even though everyone had just experienced a massacre and many were injured across the entire Marquisdom, there were still a considerable number of disciples left, and those who died were just a minority of the whole population. Only the relatives and good friends of those who passed away felt sorrowful. Other than that, the atmosphere of the Marquisdom was quite bustling and bright. Many disciples were excited over how outstanding 'Xue Ying' was.

"I've heard that Prince Xue Ying will be becoming a Conferred King soon."

"Conferred King? Didn't they say Conferred Marquis before this?"

"Those who could get through the God Yuan Palace ninth level can become Conferred Kings. Prince Xue Ying will definitely become one! Do you even know who the previous opponent Prince Xue Ying fought earlier on? That is a Devil Master from the Black Devil Great Lake!"

"Devil Master?"

"The Devil Master from the Black Devil Great Lake?"

Discussions were held everywhere. There would be the occasional cry of alarm.

Any slightly knowledgeable cultivators from the Black Devil Four Nations would have heard of the term 'Devil Master' and how frightening it is! Any Devil Master could easily slaughter a city and create disaster across many places. Many of the Conferred Marquises could easily be killed with a flip of hand by a Devil Master! And yet Prince Xue Ying actually fought against one?

That was unfathomable!

"I always placed Prince Xue Ying as my target. But now, I feel that this target is way too ambitious." Many aristocratic clan disciples in the Ardent Fire City were unconvinced with Xue Ying when he was given birth. They felt that it was not a big deal for someone to be given birth with great innate talent. They believed they could similarly cultivate faster than him. But now, they no longer had the thought.

Once the gap became so significant, they no longer held any jealousy. They no longer made any individual comparisons, and could only watch from afar.

Fight against a Devil Master?

Devil Masters were existences who could face Cosmos Gods! And Prince Xue Ying had achieved this stage? Unfathomable! Inconceivable!

The entire place was filled with discussions and exclamations.

Yet Xue Ying accompanied his parents and sister inside their residence. They first had some meals, chatted with each other before Xue Ying came to the pavilion by the lake alone to calm himself down.

After sitting in the pavilion, and placing the spear on his knees, Xue Ying began his meditation. He was reflecting over the battle he just had.

Even though it was bustling with activities in the outer world and hearsay many had come with gifts–quite a few clans from the Southern Cloud Nation came with congratulatory gifts, congratulating Xue Ying in becoming a Conferred King! Even though the official conferment had yet to be carried, everyone knew this was assured.

Nevertheless, Xue Ying did not meet any of those guests personally.

Given his current status and strength, he was qualified to do so.

The reason why he did not wish to meet them was due to his bad mood. This time, not just the Marquisdom or the entire Ardent Fire City, many civilians had died! Even though the number who died was only one-thousandth of the whole population in the Ardent Fire City, thinking of large this number was, the death rate was quite high. After all, every time those Unity realm devils acted, they would flatten a single area…

Xue Ying desired to wipe those team of devils out. But if he were to do so, it would infuriate White Cloud Devil Master, and the other party would become crazier then.

"Mn?" Xue Ying suddenly felt something. He turned over.

There was a figure who soon appeared in midair. She was Old Mother Ying Shan.

"Xue Ying." Old Mother Ying Shan laughed vibrantly. Previously, she called 'Xue Ying as a little fellow', but now that he had become stronger, Old Mother Ying Shan no longer called him a 'little fellow'.

"Old Ancestor." Xue Ying immediately stood. He still respected Old Mother Ying Shan a lot.

"You have given me quite a huge shock this time." Old Mother Ying Shan smiled, "I, the King, the three Monarchs and other Conferred Kings have been watching the entire proceedings in the Ardent Fire City through the Heaven Observation Mirror. We wanted to save the city, but are helpless in doing so. We can only watch anxiously. But seeing you act… that has truly startled me."

"It is all thanks to Old Ancestor for purchasing that spearhead for me." Xue Ying simply replied, "Otherwise, I'll definitely not be the opponent of White Cloud Devil Master."

Without the spearhead.

The difficulty of comprehending the mystical imprints in the spear would drastically increase. Even though 90% of the mystical inscriptions were in the spear body, without the crucial parts, Xue Ying would definitely have a much harder time comprehending it! After all, understanding the domain at his current attainment was done not too long before he left closed-door cultivation.

"It is worth it. Totally worth the price." Old Mother Ying Shan said, "Is that spear of yours the weapon of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master?"

"Yes, it is." Xue Ying nodded, "The spear body lacked that spearhead. That time when I visited the Treasured Goods Market in the capital for the first time, I sensed something, and discovered that spearhead."

"No wonder." Old Mother Ying Shan was enlightened. She immediately changed the topic, "Oh right, the King has given the orders. He will be officially conferring you the title three days later."

"Mn." Xue Ying nodded. This was within his expectations too.

"Also, the King is interested in taking you as a disciple." Old Mother Ying Shan mentioned the most important matter, "This is a matter of you becoming his personal disciple. The King has only taken in a total of five disciples currently. If you were to accept him as a teacher, you would become the sixth. Becoming his personal disciple is different. You would be bestowed with a great number of things."

Xue Ying felt his heart moved when he heard that.

The Southern Cloud King wanted to take him in as a disciple?

According to rumors, as long as Xue Ying accepted Southern Cloud King as his teacher, the King would give the most critical top-graded survival secret technique that was worth beyond the complete Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique, the Avatar Technique directly to him.

Chapter 1043: Fan Clan's Invitation

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Avatar Technique." Xue Ying looked forward to it.

He was unable to abandon the Realm Heart Great Land. Realm Heart Great Land. After all, experts numbered like the clouds here. There were many absolute art scriptures too! All sorts of supporting tools existed here for cultivation. But after becoming a Cosmos God, he wanted to go back to his hometown Primal Chaos Void because he was afraid that some huge issues might crop up there after a long period. Hence, to accommodate both sides, there was only the 'avatar technique' which he could use, leaving behind an avatar here while another would be going back to the Primal Chaos Void.

"I guess that the Fan Clan from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation would possibly come and invite you to join their clan." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

"Fan Clan?" Xue Ying was startled.

"Mn."

Old Mother Ying Shan nodded, "Of the three great clans in Summer Wind Ancient Nation, two of them disdained from interacting with those outside the nation. Only the 'Fan Clan' is willing to accept cultivators and build a connection with those beyond their nation, absorbing talented disciples into their clan. Given how high your innate talent is–reaching the tenth level power in just 1.5 billion years of cultivation, that is a cultivation speed ranked even in the front within the history of Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Hence, the Fan Clan would assuredly come and invite you. Furthermore, the conditions they provided should be excellent too."

"You should decide yourself who you plan to join." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

"I am an inner disciple of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. I thought it is forbidden for me to join other superpowers?" Xue Ying said.

"To ordinary inner disciples, that's indeed the case. The moment they join other organizations that'll be equivalent to betraying the religion! They would then be chased down and killed by the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. But it is different for you should you join the Fan Clan." Old Mother Ying Shan sighed, "Across the neighboring nations of Summer Wind Ancient Nation, whether it is our Black Devil Four Nations or the northern nine countries of Summer Wind Ancient Nation, or other scattered tiers two and three nations, even if they nurtured a talent out, they could not block Fan Clan from recruiting them if the cultivator wanted to. These neighboring countries dared not say those cultivators betrayed them, and neither did they dare to chase down and kill these cultivators. Instead, they would congratulate the Fan Clan."

"If you were to join the Fan Clan, the King would also congratulate the Fan Clan." Old Mother Ying Shan sighed, "The Fan Clan is honestly too powerful. Just a single clan could dominate the Moonflower Ancient Nation or the Towering Sky Ancient Nation. Furthermore, their foundation is very deep."

Xue Ying softly nodded.

He could sense how powerful the Fan Clan was.

Even an overlord like Southern Cloud King had to obediently lower his head so as not to offend the Fan Clan. After all, he might be able to survive the pursuit by the Fan Clan, but the other civilians across the nation would likely die in the face of that clan. Unless he did things similar to how Snow Hook King did–he did not care if his people die.

"Old Ancestor, your meaning is?" Xue Ying looked at Old Mother Ying Shan.

"Let me give you a suggestion."

Old Mother Ying Shan said, "The King's side will be more generous. Once you accept him as a teacher, you would immediately be bestowed with all precious materials once you reached the tenth level grand perfection in your Southern Cloud Sacred Body. That is worth two billion cosmos crystals. Furthermore, during the process of cultivation, the king would pay closer notice to you. He would do his best to help you in terms of external materials."

"And Fan Clan? They are after all one of the peak superpowers across the entire Realm Heart Great Land and has stricter rules. If you want to obtain something? You have to pay the corresponding price! But as you grow stronger, the Fan Clan would naturally pay more notice to you as well."

"If your ambition is to become an ordinary Cosmos God, then the help our King provide would be greater. The King is after all the religion master of one of the top ten great religions. He has many treasures, and is willing to spend them on you."

"If you want to become an apex expert across the entire Realm Heart Great Land! To reach a level equivalent to that of the King or even create your own ancient nation and reach an unparalleled level, then the Fan Clan would be more helpful to your goal. After all, their foundation is deeper, and the three great clans within the Summer Wind Ancient Nation would help each other too."

"You make your own decision." Old Mother Ying Shan said.

Old Mother Ying Shan felt hesitant inwardly.

For the sake of the Ying Shan Clan, It would be better for Xue Ying to take the King as his teacher.

But if he wanted to stand at the apex across the entire Realm Heart Great Land, then joining the Fan Clan would be better.

But the King was rich. He could provide great help to Xue Ying in terms of external materials. That was a tremendous supporting force as well.

"Even if I joined the Fan Clan, they would not provide so much help to me either." Xue Ying shook his head, "According to my knowledge, few in the entire Fan Clan could match against the King."

"Naturally."

Old Mother Ying Shan nodded, "Do you know how hard it is to reach the level of our King? The Fan Clan would at most guide you occasionally and provide you with absolute art scriptures! Ultimately, you still have to depend on yourself. As for the King? He might not have the best absolute art scriptures that are suitable for you. But he can provide you with more help in the external factor."

"Then it'll be better for me to join the King then." Xue Ying chuckled.

"There is no rush in making the decision. You can tell me again after meeting the Fan Clan." Old Mother Ying Shan encouraged, "After all, this concerns your future. Being a cultivator this is a crossroad, and you have to choose your path."

Early the next day. The place was filled with fog.

Fan Tian Chong came personally to visit Xue Ying. The two of them sat opposite each other in the pavilion by the lake.

"Brother Tian Chong, please."

"Haha, this wine smells really fragrant. I feel my entire body relaxing from it. So it seems Brother Xue Ying is also a person who knows how to appreciate wine." Fan Tian Chong sat down cross-legged. He immediately poured wine for himself and gave it a taste, "Good wine. Even though I've never tried it before, it seems that there aren't any precious materials used in brewing it. But it feels really comforting."

Xue Ying indeed liked drinking and eating. He would travel to different places for the food and naturally had collected quite a lot of wines from his travel: "This wine isn't expensive either. A single cosmos crystal could get me ten flasks."

"As long as it tastes good."

Fan Tian Chong chuckled, "I'll just be frank with you then. I came under orders from the clan. That Old Ancestor from my clan has nodded and is willing to accept you as a disciple."

"Ancestor Fan?" Xue Ying felt his heart tightening.

"Ancestor Fan…

That was an existence who could be called unparalleled in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. He had created an ancient nation all by himself. He created all sorts of cultivation techniques that would not be easily imparted out of the nation, also known as 'secret impartations'. None should think of reading it even if he is willing to fork more than 10 billion cosmos crystals. Three of his disciples have reached a stage comparable to the Southern Cloud King. Even Great Paragon Lu Tian was his disciple.

"My clan's Old Ancestor has only accepted a total of 15 disciples in total. Even I wasn't placed in his eyes." Fan Tian Chong felt slightly rueful. He was quite talented, but clearly, Ancestor Fan had set his sight even higher.

"Once you become a student of my clan's Old Ancestor, you will be directly imparted with the most appropriate secret impartation technique. It'll directly lead you to the peak." Fan Tian Chong said.

"Nothing else?" Xue Ying continued asking.

"Nothing else?"

Fan Tian Chong was startled. He could not help but blurt out, "Did you not hear it clearly? This is about becoming a disciple of my clan's Old Ancestor! What else do you want? He has even bestowed upon you with a peak secret impartation. As long as you cultivate according to it, you will grow stronger over time. My Fan Clan would also nurture you even more by then. It isn't entirely impossible for you to become an existence on the level of your Southern Cloud King one day in the future too."

"Is there an avatar technique as well?" Xue Ying asked again.

Fan Tian Chong's expression turned cold: "Don't go overboard. The rules of my Fan Clan is all about the strong feasting on the weak. Everything has to be fought for by the cultivator himself! It is already a good deal that you are getting a secret impartation technique that leads all the way to the apex. You should know that some Cosmos Gods have sold their bodies to the Fan Clan only to learn something that isn't a secret impartation. As for the avatar technique which you mentioned, as long as you contributed to the Fan Clan, you could naturally exchange for these corresponding techniques according to how much you have contributed. My Fan Clan has the avatar technique which could be exchanged for too."

"I have to depend on contribution to exchange?" Xue Ying softly nodded.

That's trouble.

Any superpower would definitely price the avatar technique really highly. The required contribution points would be massive too. It was not easy for him as a Primal Chaos tenth level existence to accumulate sufficient points to exchange for that technique.

"Unless you don't even have any confidence of yourself?" Fan Tian Chong roared, "There are many experts in my Fan Clan. As long as you could climb up to the top and reveal your prowess, there would naturally be many benefits for you. You haven't yet to accept a teacher yet you want to get some benefits already?"

The Fan Clan might be doing this for a great cause, but they would not be willing to lose out on anything too.

Regardless, the religion started by the Southern Cloud King had become one of the top ten great religions. Many cultivators across the entire Realm Heart Great Land had joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion even, paying a huge price just to learn the absolute arts, and resulting in a horrifying wealth accumulated by the Southern Cloud King! That was why the king had the qualifications to be so extravagant!

'I am naturally confident.' Xue Ying nodded while thinking to himself.

Even though he was confident, according to the price of the avatar technique and the fact that there were many experts in the Fan Clan, Xue Ying would likely have to spend a considerable amount of time before he could even acquire this technique after becoming a Cosmos God! He could not afford to waste time. The moment he became a Cosmos God, he would naturally be sending the avatar with the fastest speed back to his hometown.

"It is good you have the confidence." Fan Tian Chong grinned, "So when are you prepared to come with me to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation?"

Chapter 1044: Ancestor Fan

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"This matter must not be delayed. You should hurry and go meet the Old Ancestor." Fan Tian Chong said. He then sighed, "I have cultivated for so many years and have only met the Old Ancestor once. You are fortunate since you could see him frequently in the future. I really wonder what about you caught the attention of the Old Ancestor! Isn't it just your cultivation speed is slightly faster than normal? But you have merely reached the tenth level!"

A Primal Chaos tenth level expert could be considered an overlord in those tier two or three nations.

But to the supreme 'Ancestor Fan', it was too hard for someone to make him take the initiative of taking in a student. Many Cosmos Gods sought to become his student, yet to no avail. When he decided to accept a disciple, other than the talent of the disciple, another critical factor would be his mood. If he disliked that disciple, he would be too lazy to even care about him even if he had an earth-shaking talent.

"Even though I might be confident of it, I am ultimately part of the Southern Cloud Nation." Xue Ying said, "Old Ancestor has misplaced his kindness."

"Misplaced his kindness?"

Fan Tian Chong widened his eyes.

He never had thought this would be the outcome.

"Do you know and understand who my clan's Old Ancestor is? And what it means to take him as your teacher?" Fan Tian Chong widened his eyes and could not help but blurt out, "If you were to become a student of my clan's Old Ancestor, you could walk unparalleled across all neighboring nations! That Southern Cloud King would not even dare to neglect you."

Xue Ying remained softly shaking his head.

"I admit that the Southern Cloud King is wealthy and has plenty of treasures. It is likely that he'll bestow with you many treasures too. But, those are external materials!" Fan Tian Chong shouted, "It is easy to earn treasures! But Dao, that is something everyone sought but is too hard to obtain! A secret impartation technique that leads directly to the peak is something which will never be spread outside. It was how it led to Southern Cloud King that got chased and pursued like a dog, escaping to all places just to survive."

"Brother Tian Chong, you are getting overboard." Xue Ying frowned.

Fan Tian Chong could not help but say: "Alright alright, I am indeed going overboard. But your King has indeed been chased and forced to run everywhere in the past. It was also because he had been fortunate to enter an ancient remnant that allowed him to obtain the original copy of the Third Realm Technique, and a mighty secret treasure, the 'Twin Realm Blade'. By borrowing on the 'Twin Realm Blade', that was how he reached his current power! Even though he has obtained the Third Realm Technique, that is a peak absolute art on the time-space lineage. You, Ying Shan Xue Ying, is of the void lineage and the Third Realm Technique is useless to you."

"Do you know how precious a secret impartation technique that leads you directly to the peak is? Your king was fortunate to reach his current level. If you were to join Old Ancestor, you would immediately get the most appropriate secret impartation technique." Fan Tian Chong looked at Xue Ying, "Right now if you were to decline, given the temper of my clan's Old Ancestor, it is impossible for you to take him as a teacher in the future."

"I understand." Xue Ying nodded.

Fan Tian Chong looked at Xue Ying.

Xue Ying chuckled: "Old Ancestor has misplaced his kindness."

"Ai…"

Fan Tian Chong softly shook his head, "Regardless, everything that I want to say have been said! I have not treated you, Little Brother Xue Ying, unfairly. In the future, don't blame me if you regret."

"I will naturally not blame Brother Tian Chong. It is all my decision." Xue Ying said.

"This is, I really do not know why you…" Fan Tian Chong could not help but mutter.

Xue Ying remained smiling calmly.

Actually, the most important reason why he did not take Ancestor Fan as a teacher was that he wanted to learn the avatar technique as soon as possible! Once he became a Cosmos God, Xue Ying could send an avatar back home.

And the other reason was Old Mother Ying Shan had once gifted him with that spearhead when Xue Ying could merely display strength at the sixth level! Old Ancestor was ultimately just a tenth level existence, and those treasures which she had earned over a long period would likely be used to exchange for a weapon suitable for her. Hence, one could say that a tenth level expert was wealthy, and poor at the same time.

Just like Xue Ying, he was wealthy. A Scarlet Cloud God Spear that was worth close to 10 billion cosmos crystals! But this spear was something he would not sell. Other than this spear, the other treasures he had added up to a pitiful amount. Fortunately, he had killed Old Devil Xue Fu and three other Primal Chaos existences. That was how he earned a little.

Hence…

That spear alone held many different reasons.

Naturally, that was merely one of the minor reasons. If the Fan Clan side were willing to directly bestow upon Xue Ying with the avatar technique, Xue Ying would feel slightly guilty to the Old Mother, but he would still be willing to join the Fan Clan. By then, it was okay if he repaid the kindness to Old Mother in other ways.

What a pity that the Fan Clan was too cold and apathetic. Their rules were too strict. It was impossible for them to change for the sake of a little fellow like him.

In their opinion, it was heaven's benevolence for Ancestor Fan to be willing to accept him as a disciple. One must know that the other two great clans in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation disdained from interacting with cultivators outside the nation. Even if those cultivators had a more exceptional talent, they would not care! They only cared about those from their country.

Southern Cloud Nation. In the royal palace.

Southern Cloud King was currently seated cross-legged on a black grassland. There were all sorts of special black grass growing on this land. Behind the Southern Cloud King was a deep gouge of about 330 meters in diameter. A jade-green liquid was rolling within. The surface of this deep lake was emitting a white frost that blew into the surroundings.

"Ancestor Fan is actually taking him as a disciple?"

Southern Cloud King frowned.

He had many treasures and friends. His social network of connection spread practically almost all six great ancient nations. He had even spent a colossal price to befriend many people in the nearby Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Nevertheless, Ancestor Fan actually nodded and took the initiative to take Xue Ying as a disciple. This produced all sorts of comment across the higher-ups within the Fan Clan. They did not dare to rebuke the Old Ancestor. And some had informed this news to Southern Cloud King.

"A little fellow at the Primal Chaos realm, even if he is that talented, is still ultimately from outside the ancient nation. Nevertheless, Ancestor Fan is willing to take him as a disciple?" Southern Cloud King was in slight disbelief.

Those apex experts from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation disdained the nearby nations.

Even though the Fan Clan was willing to befriend many organizations, they still held the attitude of superiority belonging to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Some of the honored guests had even decided to join the Fan Clan, yet the Fan Clan still held slight discrimination against them.

'Ancestor Fan.'

Southern Cloud King went taciturn.

If the Ancestor Fan wanted to take Xue Ying as a disciple, he no longer had any confidence.

"King, Fan Tian Chong has met Xue Ying. But Xue Ying has still decided to take King as his teacher." Old Mother Ying Shan informed. She felt slightly out of equilibrium. After all, she had guessed that the Fan Clan would invite Xue Ying, but she would never have thought that it was 'Ancestor Fan' who took the initiative of receiving Xue Ying. Nevertheless, Xue Ying had hardened his heart towards making the Southern Cloud King his teacher. That was something she could not do anything about.

Southern Cloud King was slightly startled after hearing that.

This Xue Ying worshipped him so much? And wanted to take him as a teacher? Was it because he was too young and had not experienced enough setbacks?

"No matter what, this is a good thing!" Southern Cloud King revealed a grin. Such a good helper had at least chosen to leave behind in the nation. Otherwise, the moment he joined the Fan Clan, he would be answering the Fan Clan from then on.

"I did not obstruct him though. It is this little fellow Xue Ying who isn't willing to join your Fan Clan." A grin extended to the edge of Southern Cloud King's mouth.

The information spread back to the Fan Clan soon after, and it was reported upwards to Ancestor Fan.

Ancestor Fan remained seated on the vast wilderness. At this moment, he was sitting by the side of a river. His appearance was subjective to different people.

Some would see an absolutely enchanting girl when looking at Ancestor Fan.

Others would see him as a dignified and imposing old man.

Or he might be a cute child, or a towering magma giant that could cause the world to shake with every breath, or even a holy and pure monk…

All sorts of appearances.

Everything stemmed from the spirit, and different spirit would view him differently.

He was an existence which stood at the most apex even in Realm Heart Great Land, an origin world with such a deep foundation. He had created the Summer Wind Ancient Nation with two other old friends of his.

"Declined?"

Ancestor Fan looked at the river water.

At that moment, scenes of Xue Ying cultivating appeared in the river water–from when he was young all the way until now. Everything was being observed by Ancestor Fan. Even Xue Ying's concealed strength had been unveiled in front of him, and how Xue Ying had cultivated the 'Mirage and illusory realm' to the Primal Chaos realm was also under his scrutiny.

"His cultivation is so fast. Currently, he is even cultivating both the void and the Mirage and illusory realm together." Ancestor Fan lightly chuckled, "This young fellow should have been granted permission by Yuan to reincarnate into this world from an outside origin world."

Reincarnation.

That was not a secret to the level of existence Ancestor Fan was in.

Like the strongest ancient nation in the six great ancient nations, the 'Myriad Realms Ancient Nation', it was slightly stronger than the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. The Myriad Realms Ancient Nation was known as 'Myriad Realms' because those few old men who created that nation originated from other origin worlds. Initially, some cultivators would keep it a secret, but once they reached such strength, they would naturally publicize it.

"He came from an outside origin world. Maybe in his previous life, he might be a Cosmos God already. For him to gain permission by Yuan, it seems his talent should be not bad." Ancestor Fan did not mind. It was okay if the other party rejected him.

This was only a passing interest.

It was only him who was concerned towards cultivators from other nations and was willing to accept experts from other places. That was why he had the heart to have a look at them, and this time, he discovered how different Xue Ying was.

Since he was rejected, it was alright too.

"Hu." Ancestor Fan closed his eyes. He threw this matter to the back of his mind. Reaching his level, taking in a new disciple was merely just a spark of interest.

Chapter 1045: Formally accepting a Teacher; Getting bestowed with treasures

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The Southern Cloud Nation would be conferring a new King.

This was a huge affair in the nation. Many higher-ups from the Aristocratic Marquis clans were heading towards the capital. Even Conferred Marquis and Conferred Kings would send their true bodies or incarnations over.

On the day of the ceremony.

"Go. We will be meeting the King."

Old Mother Ying Shan and Xue Ying were both seated on the carriage. There were a total of nine Black Magic Dragons pulling it. Every Magic Dragon was a Magic Servant that could unleash strength at the ninth level–they were all more precious than Magic Servant Zi Bai! A total of nine Magic Dragons pulling the carriage… only the king had the wealth to carry this out in the entire Southern Cloud Nation.

After all, a single Magic Dragon would require a Conferred King like Old Mother Ying Shan to sell all her treasures.

The King himself was even considered one of the wealthiest across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

The King himself had personally sent his carriage to pick up Xue Ying. Both Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan soon arrived before the royal palace and into the cultivation ground which the King usually meditated at.

Usually, only significant affairs would be held within the royal palace.

Ordinary private matters would be held personally in Southern Cloud King's meditating cultivation ground. One could see that he had treated Xue Ying as his own people already.

"Hou~"

The nine Magic Dragons roared and charged down directly. They soon slowed down after reaching the ground.

Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan left the carriage. The carriage then disappeared at the next moment as the dragons immediately swam away deep towards a mountain peak covered by a cold white fog behind Southern Cloud King.

"King."

Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan both respectfully bowed.

This was Xue Ying's first time seeing the Southern Cloud King. The Southern Cloud King wore a luxurious golden gown. He was thin and sat cross-legged on the black grass field. Even though he was thin, he seemed to be of one entity with the surrounding void, causing others to feel reverence and subservient towards him.

'He is truly a legendary character.' Xue Ying understood that an expert who wasn't part of the six great ancient nations could still cultivate to this stage without having any secret impartations and relied merely on a great secret treasure. The Southern Cloud King had even created a religion that was ranked in the top ten, spreading it across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. He was so rich that it reached a stage that the old ancestors from the six great ancient nations were green with envy. They once acted against the Southern Cloud King before, yet to no avail.

Of the ten great religions, eight came from the six great ancient nations.

And those that weren't from the six great ancient nations, one was the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and the other was the 'Sky Sword Sect' that the Sky Sword King personally created.

Sky Sword King was also a legendary character that ruled an era. But he was not as firm and unyielding like the Southern Cloud King. Instead, a considerable amount of his cosmos crystals were presented to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation and Myriad Realms Ancient Nation. Only then could his 'Sky Sword Sect' spread so rampantly. Furthermore, the degree of its propagation was slightly more formidable than the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Ultimately, he was squeezed dry by the two great ancient nations, and his wealth was naturally incomparable to that of the Southern Cloud King.

That time, the Southern Cloud King could resist against waves of enemies targeting him before stabilizing his position. Over the long years, his foundation naturally became unfathomable. Of course, he had remained low-profile and befriended many other cultivators across the origin world. How powerful he was currently was still kept a mystery.

"I am curious why you chose me to be your teacher and not Ancestor Fan?" Southern Cloud King chuckled. There were also five other figures standing behind him now–they were the five disciples of Southern Cloud King. All of them were looking at Xue Ying curiously. Ancestor Fan wanted to take him as a disciple? Yet this Xue Ying declined the other party?

"I want to learn the avatar technique as soon as possible." Xue Ying directly answered.

"Avatar technique?"

Southern Cloud King softly nodded.

The other five senior disciple brothers and sisters had differing thoughts when they heard this.

'Avatar technique is also the most apex survival secret techniques in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. It is indeed not easy to learn it. Nevertheless, Teacher is willing to directly impart it to his disciples.'

'He indeed has a cautious character.'

'Is it because he is afraid of death? Hmph, I bet he is afraid he might die before becoming a Cosmos God within the Fan Clan and could not learn the avatar technique by then?'

They had unique thoughts.

But the Southern Cloud King was merely curious. He did not heed Xue Ying's reasons. He was unlike that Ancestor Fan who would choose disciples based on his mood. Instead, the Southern Cloud King desired to have more capable subordinates. After all, stabilizing the Southern Cloud Nation or spreading the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion both required formidable experts.

"Alright." Southern Cloud King nodded, "Kneel down for me."

"Ying Shan Xue Ying greets Teacher." Xue Ying immediately knelt down to formally accept the other party as his teacher. One must always treat his teacher with respect. His cultivation on the void lineage would still have to depend on the guidance by Southern Cloud King in the future. Across the entire Realm Heart Great Land, few could match Southern Cloud King in terms of the Dao of Void. He was naturally qualified to become Xue Ying's teacher.

Southern Cloud King smiled and nodded: "There are very few rules in my sect. There is only one main rule–to not betray the religion. Previously, you were only an inner disciple and had learned the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles. Many in the world know of this absolute art, and it doesn't matter even if you joined other organizations. But now that you have become my personal disciple, it is absolutely forbidden for you to betray me. If you were to betray, I'd pay no heed to the price to kill you."

"This disciple understands." Xue Ying responded.

If the Southern Cloud King wanted to kill someone…

Even if the other party could survive, given how wealthy the king is, he could always invite an unparalleled existence like Ancestor Fan to act!

"Good." Southern Cloud King nodded. He flipped his right hand. Two half-translucent scriptures then appeared. These scriptures were glowing in gold.

"Those who joined my sect can first learn the Avatar Technique and the Destructive Realm Teleportation technique, these two survival techniques." The Southern Cloud King said. Those two books then floated before Xue Ying, "The Destructive Realm Teleportation technique is the technique which I created, and this is our sect's Avatar Technique which was originally created by me too, though it had been perfected by one of the five ancestors from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation, 'Drifter'."

Xue Ying received them.

"Hong."

He extended his senses into the scriptures.

At that moment, large amounts of light flew from the scriptures into Xue Ying's forehead.

The two inheritances were soon memorized entirely by Xue Ying's strong soul.

"Oh?" Xue Ying was slightly startled.

He had already known the ultra-long distance teleportation in his previous life, and that was actually the Destructive Realm Teleportation technique. Even though there was some difference between the Destructive Realm Teleportation techniques between the two origin worlds, they were qualitatively equal. Xue Ying finished learning them after sweeping through it once.

But the Avatar Technique was completely different from what he expected.

This avatar technique actually required one to finish cultivating the 'Arch Destruction' style, one of the two secret impartations from the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles! This style was of the tenth level power. Only when this style was fully grasped could the cultivator rely on it to break the essence of this origin world's void and interact with the higher dimension. After that, the cultivator could absorb the energy from the outer world in the higher dimension to nourish his body and soul. That would thus allow the cultivator to grasp the avatar technique.

'This should be different from the avatar technique belonging to Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master.' Xue Ying thought.

Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master had learned the avatar technique despite being at the ninth level power.

Clearly, the avatar techniques were different in both cases.

The Southern Cloud King had already mentioned that he was the first creator, and the technique was perfected by one of the five ancestors from the Myriad Realms Ancient World, 'Drifter'.

'Different cultivation entry point yet it similarly allows the cultivator to grasp the avatar technique.' Xue Ying praised in his mind.

"In the Realm Heart Great Land, the inheritance of Avatar Technique could be counted with one's finger." Southern Cloud King looked at Xue Ying, "Cosmos Gods sought to learn it, yet they could not do so. This is one of the highest-leveled secret technique even within the Fan Clan."

Southern Cloud King was slightly proud of this.

"These are the required precious materials which you need to cultivate the Southern Cloud Sacred Body to the tenth grand perfection level." Southern Cloud King waved his hand again, throwing over a storage wristband. This was common between all disciples, "Properly cultivate. With your talent, you should be able to grasp the two secret impartations of the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles pretty quickly. Also… you can use this Magic Dragon as your means of transport."

Saying that, he waved his hand.

"Hou~"

Deep behind him from amidst the mountain ranges covered in cold fog, a black Magic Dragon flew out. It flew towards Xue Ying obediently.

Saying that, he threw another blood crystal to Xue Ying, which Xue Ying understood that this should be the core towards controlling the black Magic Dragon. Even though Magic Servant Zai Bai had once followed him, in reality, his master was still Old Mother Ying Shan.

'Magic Dragon?' Of the five disciples to the side, other than two who were able to maintain their calmness, the expressions of the other three had changed slightly.

The previous bestow by the king was something which they had gotten before.

Only the Magic Dragon…

Was something they were not given when they accepted the King as their teacher! This was exceptional! A loyal Magic Dragon that could unleash power at the ninth level was worth 1.5 billion cosmos crystals! So how could they remain calm in their hearts?

Chapter 1046: Over the Years

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Many thanks, Teacher." Xue Ying was slightly startled, though he still bowed and thanked the other party.

Old Mother Ying Shan who stood by the side revealed a grin too. She felt that it was normal since Xue Ying was the most dazzling cultivator in the history of Southern Cloud Nation. Even Ancestor Fan took the initiative to accept him as a disciple, so what if the King gave Xue Ying a Magic Dragon?

Southern Cloud King nodded. He turned towards the five other disciples of his and gave a nonchalant smile: "I guess you should know about your disciple brothers and sisters by now."

The personal disciples of the King were famous characters within the Southern Cloud Nation. The weakest was a Conferred King, and that was someone famous already. Hence, Xue Ying naturally knew about them.

"Greetings, fellow Senior Disciple Brothers and Sisters." Xue Ying greeted.

Of the five figures in front of him.

The Eldest Disciple Brother was Monarch Greedy Peng, and also one of Southern Cloud Nation's three Monarchs! Monarch Greedy Peng had followed Southern Cloud King way before the other party created the nation. He was extremely loyal to the King. That time, the Southern Cloud King had experienced really miserable days as well. Naturally, the King had old affection for Monarch Greedy Peng and was willing to give all sorts of treasures to him. Only then was Monarch Greedy Peng able to break through to the Cosmos God realm.

The second disciple brother was 'Gong Liang Yi', currently at the tenth level power. He was an extraordinary genius from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion who reached the eighth level at the Unity realm and was also a native citizen of the nation. He joined the sect under Southern Cloud King.

Senior Disciple Sister 'Empress Ghost Li' ranked third. She was also at the tenth level power, though she was slightly weaker when compared to the second senior brother.

Fu Ling Yun, Fu Ling Xiao

This pair of brothers were ranked fourth and fifth respectively. That time when the Southern Cloud King was in dire straits, the strongest by his side wasn't Monarch Greedy Peng. Instead, it was another exceptionally outstanding tenth level expert known as 'Fu Chen'. Fu Chen followed the Southern Cloud King all the while. He might be the King's subordinate, but they were like brothers. After Fu Chen died, the Southern Cloud King spent a tremendous amount of effort to raise the two remaining children. When they broke through to the Primal Chaos realm, the King even promoted them to his personal disciples, providing them with a vast amount of resources.

Nevertheless, the talent of these two brothers was ordinary. Even after being treasures were thrown upon them, they remained at the ninth level still.

Hence, from this point, it was easily determined that the Southern Cloud King was someone who remembered old affections.

"Junior disciple brother." The five of them chuckled. In front of their teacher, all of them were enthusiastic and friendly.

On the second day.

It was also the day of the conferment ceremony. The actual conferment had already been done, and on the actual day itself, Xue Ying just had to walk across the stage.

The majority of them liked using their own names as their title conferment! Furthermore, when they created a clan, their name would become the main title for the entire clan.

These titles would also be used to give the city a name, and the name of the residence. All the cultivators did not like to publicize their original name. Xue Ying had also given himself a title–'Flying Snow'. This was the fake name he frequently used, and also the name of his spear which he gave when he was still a mortal.

The entire Southern Cloud Nation was bustling with activity. The royal palace was even filled with many Aristocratic Marquises. Furthermore, some experts from neighboring countries came especially to congratulate Xue Ying too, causing the atmosphere of the ceremony to become even livelier. Even though Xue Ying did not like the crowd, he still had to deal with the Monarchs and Aristocratic Marquises! There were quite a few Cosmos Gods who came from outside the nation. As for the people responsible for managing the branches of those powerful organizations, there were even more who came.

There were quite a few branches of those organizations from the six great ancient nations here, of which their origins were quite huge.

Nevertheless, cultivators still regarded power as the most important. Without power, the statuses of these cultivators would be low even in huge clans. Unless they were 'crown princes' of the sort–as the first child of the Southern Cloud King, he would be pampered.

After the Conferment.

A new city, the 'Flying Snow City', started its construction within the Southern Cloud Nation. This was Xue Ying's city. After all, every Conferred King had a city he owned! Furthermore, being the sixth tenth level expert within the Southern Cloud Nation, his city was exceptionally big–of the same level with Ying Shan City. The construction of this city, even after dispatching many cultivators to build it, would take more than 100 million years.

After all, the most laborious task of building such a huge city would be to carve the entire array. Once this array was constructed, the moment Xue Ying stayed within, he would be powered by the array so much that ordinary Cosmos Gods would be beaten up by him!

But before the city was constructed.

Xue Ying would live temporarily in the capital.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it had been 300 million years since the conferment.

Southern Cloud Nation, Flying Snow City.

The Flying Snow City had already been constructed. Xue Ying brought some people from the Ardent Fire Marquisdom over as well. They were primarily some of the elites from the lineage under his father Ying Shan Lie Hu who came along to help manage the Flying Snow City. Xue Ying did not have the time to maintain a city. Other than the 'Flying Snow City', nine other cities were constructed too, and they were being protected by Xue Ying's sleeping incarnations.

"Hahaha." Ying Shan Lie Hu felt his days becoming colorful. The Flying Snow City was a huge city, and it would definitely bring immense benefits to him. This mission of being the city master would usually be conducted by both Rong Xing Lan and Ying Shan Lie Hu, of which Lie Hu naturally enjoyed being in the glamorous limelight.

Within the Void God Pagoda.

Xue Ying was currently cultivating within. He was seated on that huge rock floating in midair within the God Pagoda.

His body was ordinary and did not emit any powerful aura. This was the normal state of the Southern Cloud Sacred Body when it reached tenth level grand perfection. One had to know that even after reaching the tenth level grand perfection stage, one would not have reached the pinnacle in void-ification. Reaching the pinnacle in the void-ification would allow the cultivator to become one with the essence of the void. That cultivator could completely disappear from sight, and many powerful Cosmos Gods could not even sense the slightest strand of aura from him.

Currently, even though Xue Ying's aura was kept ordinary and reserved, he was still quite a distance away from reaching void-ification pinnacle.

After all, the Void-ification Undying Technique owned by the Southern Cloud King required the cultivator to reach Cosmos God before it could be grasped! It was impossible for the cultivator to understand it at the Primal Chaos realm.

'I still have to create it myself.' Xue Ying did not lose motivation. He had seen before the scaled-armor from 'General Mo Gu' of the Destruction Devil who had the shadowless talent. The mystical inscriptions on the scaled-armor were naturally formed. They were simple yet mysterious. Xue Ying felt that it was possible for him to grasp it at the Primal Chaos realm. But creating it was ultimately still a difficult task.

Of course, his current concentration wasn't spent on void-ification.

Instead, it was spent on the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles.

"Hong."

With a thought, Xue Ying's body emitted a faint light. Many imprints started lighting up on his body. This body was really a darling of the void. After all, his previous Voidwalker body enabled him to fuse deeply with the void. Now that Xue Ying had the Southern Cloud Sacred Body, it expedited the whole process in allowing Xue Ying to unleash this fist.

"Hong."

That fist was filled with immense power. It was incomparably heavy–as if it brought the entire force from the void together into one single smash.

"Ka."

No sound could be heard. That sound was only a concept heard by relying on perceiving the void.

Xue Ying had even sensed three black fog spherical body particles–the smallest and most minute essence of the void–shattering apart. At this moment, the fist blasted out with a horrifying might! It felt as if the fist had connected to a nightmarish world because the crack was too small–the naked eyes could not even see it.

But nonetheless, a strand of mysterious aura still came out from that crack. Closely following that, the crack formed by those three shattered particles naturally healed.

"That world…" Xue Ying saw it.

This was the clearest he had ever seen it in his life.

Arch Destruction destroyed the cage of this origin world. Even though the crack was so small that the naked eyes could not see it, Xue Ying could still 'see' it genuinely by relying on that extremely tiny crack.

'By relying on the mysterious aura emanated from that crack, I can cultivate the avatar technique.' Only then did Xue Ying reacted. He had fallen into a daze for so long that the strand of mysterious aura had long dissipated.

Chapter 1047: Path of Mirage and Illusory Realm

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Standing on the great floating rock, Xue Ying's body was faintly emitting light. He held onto the Scarlet Cloud God Spear and struck it out once again. This strike seemed ordinary, yet it contained the power of the entire void. Eventually, its power converged and brought about the destruction of the essence of the void. Everywhere the spearhead passed produced tiny cracks. It was indeed the weapon Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master used in the past. This stab had produced a crack a few times bigger than previously.

It was too difficult to break the essence of the void and open up the cage.

Even 'Void Primogenitor' from the Primal Chaos Void did not achieve it. Many Cosmos Gods could not do so either.

It wasn't about having power. One had to find the right 'direction'.

For instance, once the direction towards grasping the avatar technique was found, even Primal Chaos experts could learn it! Just like how Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master did so. And if one attempted doing so without having any clues whatsoever, they would be like Sacred Master, Old Monster Stone who could not create the avatar technique despite reaching that level.

It was the same as the 'Arch Destruction'!

This was an incredibly profound use of the Dao of Void. It was about blasting out at the surrounding space, and once that space could no longer withstand the force, it would result in some collapse of its essence!

The 'Arch Destruction' was a tenth level technique! Actually, the 'Shatter Void' was a simplified technique in the same Dao of Void, though it was at the ninth level. And once this technique is simplified further, it would be the eighth level technique, the 'Smoke and Dust Scatter'…

Same logic.

'Spectacular Painting' was the other secret impartation technique at the tenth level. Its simplified version was the ninth level technique, the 'Realm Heart Blade'.

Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles…

In reality, it was about moving deeper along two different directions. The 'Spectacular Painting' and 'Arch Destruction' techniques were originally Cosmos God moves. In terms of their profoundness, they had transcended beyond any moves created by Xue Ying in his previous life. He could barely unleash them by relying on the tenth level grand perfection Southern Cloud Sacred Body. And these two moves could still continue to be improved further, though the cultivator had to reach the Cosmos God realm before they could learn them.

'Once the direction is right, a tenth level technique could easily break apart the cage.' Xue Ying relied on the tiny cracks formed when the black fog spherical bodies broke to once again 'see' the outer world. This sort of 'observation' was also a perception based on his senses.

The Realm Heart Great Land was truly vast.

Xue Ying saw that piece of incomparably colossal land, and also the surrounding planets revolving near this land.

He had even vaguely seen what was beyond this 'Realm Heart Great Land' origin world. At an incomparably far distance away, there was another vast origin world.

'Another Origin World?' Xue Ying softly nodded, 'Other than the Primal Chaos Realm and the Realm Heart Great Land, there are other Origin Worlds.'

'But Yuan actually permit absolute talents from the Primal Chaos Void to reincarnate into the Realm Heart Great Land. It seems the Realm Heart Great Land should have quite a deep foundation across many of those Origin Worlds.' Xue Ying made his conjecture.

He kept using the 'Arch Destruction' and perceived the world outside.

Even though every single time Xue Ying perceived the outer world, he would feel stunned–this feeling of stepping into a higher level of life was making him obsessed–he understood that he was ultimately still a life caged in this world. What he could do was merely pry open a small little crack.

"Hu–"

Many mysterious aurae came into this Origin World from the higher dimension.

Xue Ying immediately revolved the 'avatar technique'. This cultivation technique was actually a soul technique. Xue Ying immediately began absorbing those strands of mysterious aura into his soul, fusing that energy within. At this moment, Xue Ying felt his soul trembling. It seemed his soul was undergoing a qualitative transformation, and he understood that this was a good change.

His body seemed to become more compatible with the void. It felt comfortable as if he was born to be part of the void.

Because the crack formed was ultimately too small, the mysterious aura that entered was weak too. Xue Ying cultivated for about ten days or so before feeling that his soul could no longer be improved.

"Hua."

A blurred figure suddenly flew out from the white-robed Xue Ying who sat on the great rock. He landed by the side and sat cross-legged. That figure was madly absorbing the World Energy and was turning corporeal rapidly. Eventually, it turned into a golden-robed Xue Ying.

'I've succeeded.' Both Xue Yings' looked at each other.

Even though he had two bodies, their memories were the same.

Nevertheless, this new body which was just condensed out was only an ordinary fleshy body. It did not have the Southern Cloud Sacred Body or the Scarlet Cloud God Spear. It could not unleash a technique at the tenth level power.

'The mysterious aura absorbed by my soul is too little. The rate of metamorphosis is too trivial. Under the suppression from the supreme law, I can only form a single avatar.' Xue Ying thought. He understood after obtaining the complete avatar technique that the reason why one could not form avatars was purely due to the supreme law. But by absorbing this mysterious aura from beyond the cage, it would allow the soul to evolve.

This evolution process was different from what other living beings experience. If one did not absorb this mysterious aura, even Cosmos Gods could not produce avatars.

And as this metamorphosis upgraded, the number of avatars one could have would increase too.

The two avatars looked at each other.

The golden-robed avatar was much weaker. In Xue Ying's plan, it would not be used to fight and kill. Hence, he had placed the remnant energy from the 'Realm Heart Order' into the soul of this golden-robed avatar. After all, with two parts of the soul', the Realm Heart Order energy could only choose to stay in the soul of one of them. Even though the white-robed avatar was stronger, it would ultimately be risking its life outside. Who knew if he might fall one day?

Xue Ying continued cultivation day by day, month by month.

One one side, Xue Ying was studying the void. He had long grasped both styles of secret impartation techniques. Naturally, Xue Ying was currently comprehending the profound mysteries inherent within the 'Scarlet Cloud God Spear' and to deduce the 'void-ification' technique. He always sought to reach the pinnacle of void-ification at the Primal Chaos realm! Xue Ying was currently studying in different directions of the void, and this was helpful towards stepping into the Cosmos God realm in the future.

On the other side, Xue Ying had spent more than half his time cultivating the 'Mirage and Illusory realm'.

The Mirage and Illusory realm had long reached the Primal Chaos realm, yet it was still being improved continuously! Since his realm had reached a sufficiently profound stage in his previous life, and that Xue Ying did not face any bottleneck yet in this current life, he was improving in leaps and bounds. He had even created another ninth level technique in this Dao.

The Void Dao was bumpy for him since Xue Ying had not created any ninth level technique in his previous life despite the solid foundation.

As for the Mirage and Illusory Realm, even though Xue Ying started slowly in them, his progress advanced faster further on. In a single breath, he was able to create a ninth level illusory realm world. The 18 scriptures on Mirage and Illusory Realm had all been studied by him. Furthermore, Xue Ying's current soul was much stronger by 3-4 times that of ordinary Primal Chaos experts. This was the benefit he garnered by proceeding along a Dao path that focused on the soul aspect.

After all, the 'Mirage and Illusory realm' belonged to this aspect.

'This is already the upper limit under normal circumstances for Primal Chaos experts.' Xue Ying thought.

'Unless there is a tenth level secret technique or a powerful secret treasure meant for augmenting the Mirage and Illusory Realm.' Xue Ying pondered.

It was different from other Dao paths.

The Dao path of the soul was rarely cultivated. Like in the Primal Chaos Void, Xue Ying was the first to actually cultivate the 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' within the laws and profound mysteries system to the Primal Chaos Realm! Adding up those ancient cultivators, not a single Cosmos God expert in this aspect existed.

This Dao path… was clearly much harder to cultivate as compared to other Dao paths where the cultivator could interact with water, fire, thunder, particles or space. The Mirage and Illusory Realm was purely a new structured world. It was akin to creating an entirely new world and was incredibly difficult.

Even in the Realm Heart Great Land which had deep foundations, any tenth level Mirage and Illusory Realm secret technique would absolutely not be publicized! Its degree of preciousness was not any weaker than secret impartations that led one directly to the peak.

Chapter 1048: Receiving Orders to Proceed Ahead

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The reason why it was so precious was one, 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' Cosmos Gods were few in numbers, and two, secret techniques focusing on the soul aspect were horrifying!

For instance, the 'Mirage and Illusory Realm'.

What did an illusory realm at the tenth level represent?

One had to know that many tenth level experts including Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan all relied on external power. For instance, relying on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body or the Scarlet Cloud God Spear. Just by relying on the realm itself, a cultivator could reach the standard of the ninth level at most. Only by relying on external items could the cultivator exert strength at the tenth level. The power of their souls was quite similar to experts at the ninth level.

Only a few cultivators…

Like Xue Ying who had great accomplishments in the Dao path focusing on the soul could improve it further beyond those at his level. Otherwise, the strength of the soul would be limited by a ceiling. Even by devouring 'Essence of Chaotic Origin' or the 'Essence of Blood Spirit' would not nourish the soul as much as those like Xue Ying who cultivated the Dao focusing on soul aspect to such a profound stage.

The Essence of Chaotic Origin was a potent existence condensed from the collection of the essence energy in the Origin World. It was similar to that of the 'Origin World Rock'.

As for the Essence of Blood Spirit, the reason why Black Devil Great Lake carried out Blood Sacrifice was because of this. It was about massacring many lives and collecting the strands of origin energy from the soul of a being, refining them before finally resulting in the 'Essence of Blood Spirit'. It was exceedingly useful to the soul once applied. But its price was extravagant.

But–

The ninth level illusory realm world was sufficient to affect many experts at the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. The majority of them could only exert 40 to 50% of their force. Those with weaker heart temperament would likely fall into the illusory realm.

And a tenth level illusory realm? That was abnormally frightening! Even experts with powerful heart temperament like Old Mother Ying Shan would likely be unable to resist against this technique that could typically be used only by Cosmos Gods. Because by relying on treasures to reach the tenth level, the souls of these cultivators would not be able to resist against such illusory realms. One could say that a majority of tenth level experts were doomed in front of a tenth level illusory realm. Either they fell into it, or they would struggle to maintain a strand of consciousness awake, yet they would not have any ability to resist.

This was a heaven-defying technique.

Once the Illusory realm was exerted.

Either those with a mighty soul and could resist against it.

Or they could not and were doomed. Their life and death would fall into the control of someone else.

'Tenth level experts' could rule a territory within the Realm Heart Great Land. Even when faced with Cosmos Gods, most could easily escape. But facing a horrifying technique on the soul aspect of Dao path, they would simply fall in front of it.

Hence, such 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' secret techniques would undoubtedly be a core secret impartation technique of any organization.

Fortunately.

Firstly it was very difficult to cultivate the Mirage and Illusory Realm to the pinnacle and grasp the tenth level illusory realm at the Primal Chaos Realm. Very few could do so, and they could be counted with one's fingers in the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

Secondly, secret impartation techniques at the tenth level were only owned by three great organizations. They were the 'Summer Wind Ancient Nation', the 'Primogenitor Ancient Nation' and the 'Towering Sky Ancient Nation'.

One had to know that the six great ancient nations like the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation who was vaguely the strongest, yet they did not own any 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' tenth level secret impartation technique! One could see how difficult it was to acquire this.

Thirdly, secret treasures on the Mirage and Illusory Realm!

That was the only way one could exert a tenth level 'illusory realm' outside the three great ancient nations at the Primal Chaos Realm. This also led to secret treasures meant for Mirage and Illusory Realm to be extravagant! One single piece… that could only exert the tenth level power at most and were useless to Cosmos Gods would be worth close to 10 billion cosmos crystals. It could match the value of secret treasure weapons used by powerful experts like the Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master.

If it were a Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure that could augment the power of a Cosmos God, that price would be even more exaggerated!

The price of this secret treasure was high, and the difficulty of comprehending the absolute art within the secret treasure was even higher. Only those who were talented like Xue Ying would have the hopes of learning it. But even still, the price was still high.

'My realm is sufficient. What I lack now is the secret treasure.' Xue Ying thought.

The most apex secret impartation technique of the Mirage and Illusory Realm?

Impossible.

Even the strongest Myriad Realms Ancient Nation could not get it. And the other three great ancient nations would not let outsiders learn it either unless Xue Ying decided to join them.

Being one of the six personal disciples of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, Xue Ying's status was naturally high. He had utilized the entire intelligence network which the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had across the Realm Heart Great Land, and was able to immediately obtain information regarding those who sell Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure in public.

There was only a single Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure that was helpful to even Cosmos Gods, and it was known as 'Heart Devil Scepter'. This was left behind by 'Heart Devil Religious Master', a Mirage and Illusory Realm Cosmos God that had already fallen. Its price was unknown! One had to negotiate with the seller.

Other than that, all the Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures were of the Primal Chaos Realm the tenth level. There were a total of eight pieces, and their prices range from 12 billion cosmos crystals to 20 billion cosmos crystals.

'There are really too few Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly. This was what the six great ancient nations and more than a hundred countries were selling. But because those who required tenth level Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures were few and far between, Xue Ying was not worried that he could not purchase any of them.

The only question was if he could afford it?

Borrow cosmos crystals from his teacher? The Southern Cloud King was extremely wealthy, and he was willing to spend on his disciples too. But 10 billion cosmos crystals? Xue Ying did not dare to ask!

During the years of cultivation, even though Xue Ying had some vague understanding towards the 'Cosmos God realm' in both the Mirage and Illusory Realm and Dao of Void, it was clearly not an easy task to cross that step.

"Xue Ying, come over now at this moment." Southern Cloud King summoned him.

Xue Ying immediately brought his Magic Dragon and left the Flying Snow City, heading towards the capital.

Within the royal palace, in the meditation cultivation ground of Southern Cloud King, he remained seated cross-legged on the black grass field. Behind him was a deep mountain range covered in a white fog. And now, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man standing beside the King.

"Teacher."

Xue Ying greeted respectfully when he arrived.

"Have you grasped both the secret impartation techniques?" Southern Cloud King asked.

"I did." Xue Ying answered.

"What about the avatar technique?"

"I've succeeded in training that too."

"Good."

Southern Cloud King softly nodded, "I have a mission for you. Once you completed it, you will be awarded 20,000 contribution points."

Xue Ying carefully listened.

20,000 contribution points?

That was very high already. Within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, the absolute art scriptures of the void lineage were things personal disciples did not have to exchange with points for. As long as they cultivated an absolute art scripture to the Primal Chaos Realm pinnacle, they could select another. One could not be too greedy when he had yet to finish grasping the technique.

As for absolute art scriptures that were not of the Void Lineage, the disciples would have to exchange for them. Personal disciples could exchange for them using just one-tenth the contribution points. For instance, the Three Realms Technique cost 500,000 contribution points for inner disciples, yet personal disciples could get it at 50,000 contribution points. Actually, there was no need to exchange for other absolute art scriptures when the disciple primarily cultivated in the Dao of Void. The 'contribution points' also had another use, and that was to exchange them for all sorts of precious treasures. Similarly, personal disciples only had to use one-tenth the original points to exchange for them with his teacher.

20,000 contribution points could be used to exchange for precious materials worth two billion cosmos crystals.

It was more or less sufficient for him to achieve tenth level grand perfection in the Southern Cloud Sacred Body for his newly-formed golden-robed avatar.

"Currently in the Fiery Zhao Nation, the 'Sky Sword Sect' is rampantly spreading their religion, suppressing my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." Southern Cloud King said, "The Black Devil Four Nations have always been the core area for my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion to spread, so the influence of Sky Sword Sect has always been weak. But now, they actually came in so fiercely. The Fiery Zhao Nation is the most chaotic country out of the Black Devil Four Nations. That might be the reason why Sky Sword Sect chose to target them first. That country lacked an expert protecting it. You should go over now and help 'Marquis Qu Ming' and think of ways to suppress that Sky Sword Sect. We can't let them go rampant in the Black Devil Four Nations."

The ten great religions.

The other eight originated from the six great ancient nations. They spread really wildly within the ancient nations, though they did not bother about some tiny country.

Only the 'Sky Sword Sect' and 'Southern Cloud Sacred Religion' were competing fiercely for the sake of this.

It was to the extent that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion did not suffer from any losses! Because behind the back of Sky Sword Sect, they were supported by 'Summer Wind Ancient Nation' and 'Myriad Realms Ancient Nation'.

But no matter what.

The Black Devil Four Nations was the most core foundation ground for the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion to spread its religion. Since the Sky Sword Sect dared to barge in, the Southern Cloud King would naturally not allow them to do so.

'Head towards the Fiery Zhao Nation?' Xue Ying understood.

Chapter 1049: A piece of Art

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Teacher, would the Sky Sword Sect send Cosmos Gods over?" Xue Ying asked.

"Relax." Southern Cloud King smiled, "The battle between religions is also a battle of their reputation. Between similar Primal Chaos experts, our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion is stronger. Naturally, many cultivators felt it was more appropriate to join my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion instead. This sort of battle, if they were to send a Cosmos God to bully a Primal Chaos expert, it'll be our win. It could not represent your religion is stronger either. But if that Cosmos God were to lose, it'll be a huge disgrace."

Xue Ying was enlightened.

The reputation of religion was essential when it comes to spreading it. Hence, having a strong protector was critical.

Even though there were many experts within the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, other than the native nation, there were still many experts that originated from other countries. But the Realm Heart Great Land was ultimately too big! Hence, there would naturally be differences in the level of protectors across different territories.

"The Black Devil Four Nations have always been the main spreading ground for our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Even though the Sky Sword Sect is spreading their religion here too, they did not have any strong reputation here, and neither did they dispatch any formidable experts. Hence, the stronger cultivators from my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion have always been guarding other places to expand the influencing power of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." Southern Cloud King said, "Who would have thought that they will decide to advance into one of the Black Devil Four Nations, the Fiery Zhao Nation, so daringly! Hmph, since they dared to enter, We must give them a good lesson."

"Is killing permitted?" Xue Ying asked.

"Just act however you think you should." Southern Cloud King said, "But you have to be careful too! It is certain that those who came to find us for trouble are the experts from the Sky Sword Sect! But in the dark, there could possibly be some experts that originate from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation or Summer Wind Ancient Nation dealing against you in the dark. Of course… no Cosmos Gods would appear since that would mean the rule is disobeyed, and I can directly act."

"Yes." Xue Ying felt rest assured then.

What identity did his teacher have?

He was someone legendary even amongst the famous characters across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Being a religious master, he would not casually act. Otherwise, he would be lowering his status! After all, if a Primal Chaos expert came to bully them, and if the religious master responded, it would instead create the impression that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion was bad at nurturing experts on this realm.

Instead, if Cosmos Gods decided to act, and for the Southern Cloud King to respond in action, it would show how righteous the king was.

"The specific matters will be handled by Marquis Qu Ming. What you need to do is to act during crucial moments." Southern Cloud King looked towards the tall and thin middle-aged man standing by the side, "Qu Ming, you can tell Xue Ying about other trifle matters on the way there."

"Yes." Marquis Qu Ming respectfully said.

"Xue Ying, since you have already refined your avatar, your avatar should temporarily stay at the capital. The safest place in the entire Southern Cloud Nation is over at my place. I have the confidence in keeping you alive here." The Southern Cloud King was relatively confident of himself. In other aspects, like for instance, when facing against existences like Ancestor Fan, he could only escape with his life. Nevertheless, he had smashed quite a considerable amount of treasures which he earned over the long years on improving the capital. Nobody knew who would win in a one-on-one battle.

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded.

He did not have to worry about the safety of Flying Snow City.

Because the Flying Snow City was a big city. Even the Black Devil Great Lake's Blood Sacrifice would not occur at such huge cities since this was something the Southern Cloud King forbade. Whoever dared to act, the Southern Cloud King would undoubtedly send an avatar over! Even though he had reached a compromise with the Black Devil Great Lake, it was merely for Blood Sacrifices to be done on small cities, and for them to occur once in a blue moon.

Xue Ying brought along his servant, the Magic Dragon and Marquis Qu Ming together. They first relied on the Destructive Realm Teleportation Technique to arrive at the wilderness outside the Fiery Zhao Capital.

"Even though the Fiery Zhao Nation is messy and weak, this is ultimately the capital of the Fiery Zhao Nation. If we were to teleport directly into it using the Destructive Realm Teleportation Technique… the Fiery Zhao Nation would certainly discover our presence, and it might incur trouble." Marquis Qu Ming explained.

Xue Ying nodded.

Over at the Primal Chaos Void that had weaker arrays, the sect which he was once from, the 'Great Void Heaven Temple' could already discover anyone who entered and left the place using the Destructive Realm Teleportation Technique, much less a place like the Fiery Zhao Nation.

The two of them continued flying. The servant Magic Dragon followed obediently.

"Marquis Qu Ming, just tell me what you need me to do when the time comes. You should handle everything else before the operation begins." Xue Ying said, "I do not really know anything on spreading of the religion."

"Haha, rest assured. I'll naturally inform Brother Flying Snow regarding the matters which I need you to do. As for other times? Everything would be done according to your desire to improve the reputation of our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Even unleashing a horrifying technique in front of many cultivators is a good thing too since it would attract more cultivators to join our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." Marquis Qu Ming said.

Xue Ying understood then.

Any actions that did not disgrace the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion were fine. Doing things to improve its reputation was even better.

That was a simple task actually.

The two of them entered the Fiery Zhao Capital side by side.

"Mn?" When Xue Ying entered, given his perception of the void, he was able to sense some bloody and murderous aura left in the surroundings.

"The Fiery Zhao Nation is, in reality, the weakest of the four nations. Many devils from the Black Devil Great Lake stays here." Marquis Qu Ming explained, "Murders are quite common even in the capital. As long as the culprit can escape in time before the army comes, it'll be fine. And anyone with a slightly bigger background could easily get scot-free after killing someone since the army will not chase after it even when they knew of this matter. Nonetheless, most of the devils from the Black Devil Great Lake who stay here do not wish for the capital to be too chaotic. Hence, they would control themselves too. The overall situation is still fine, and compared to the Fiery Zhao Nation, the capital is the most stable place."

"But as this city is chaotic, many cultivators thirst to be stronger." Marquis Qu Ming chuckled.

Xue Ying nodded.

Just like how many experts had the same bloodline as he did. Many experts existed in the Realm Heart Great Land, and as they reproduced, even the descendants of Cosmos Gods might not be talented and would turn into commoners. As these commoners married and spread, it resulted in some formidable bloodline hidden in the bodies of countless civilians, albeit they were diluted.

Hence, most cultivators could cultivate using their bloodline along the Dao of Void, and other commonly-seen Dao paths too.

At this moment, everything relied on how attractive the religion was.

The sacred palace of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion located at the capital was the biggest hall within the entire Fiery Zhao Nation.

After all, the capital was the biggest city and had the most people–approximately half the population of the nation. The sacred palace here occupied a vast area and was relatively overbearing. Nevertheless, at this moment–

"Haha, Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, do you all only know how to hide inside?"

"All of you are frightened by my Sky Sword Sect to the extent that you all dare not come out!"

"So pitiful. Truly pitiful."

Just outside the Southern Cloud Sacred Hall, there was a group of ten or so cultivators shouting out. Their voices reverberated across the world.

And Southern Cloud Sacred Hall had activated its arrays to protect itself. The cultivators were deadset on not leaving it.

"Why is the Southern Cloud Sacred Hall shut so closely? I still wanted to enter and ask for some guidance from my teacher." A young cultivator fell into a daze as he watched from afar. Many people were spectating from the side. An old cultivator answered: "Don't go. Anyone who is from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion will be sentenced to death by the Sky Sword Sect if they discover you."

"What? Sentenced to death?" This young cultivator was startled.

"There were quite a few who died. Initially, some disciples did not know what was happening and wanted to enter the hall to cultivate. They were instead killed by these experts from the Sky Sword Sect." That old man continued.

"And is the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion planning to watch this happen?"

"What can they do? Did you not see that the entire sacred hall is shut close? With their arrays activated? And how they are deadset on not coming out?" The old man sneered.

"This is too cowardly!" The young man felt sullen, "Is the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion getting worse and worse for them to be bullied by the Sky Sword Sect in one of the Black Devil Four Nations? I have spent quite a lot of cosmos crystals just to gain entrance and cultivate in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion!"

Spread across the Realm Heart Great Land, most of these disciples were outer disciples.

They entered the religion to cultivate. It was reasonable for them to leave any time and join other religions too. After all, outer disciples could quickly be poached by other religions.

"The experts from the Sky Sword Sect seem very formidable. Who knows if I might be able to improve faster by cultivating there."

Many discussions were going on.

The Fiery Zhao Nation was originally chaotic. This was a place where the strong feasted on the weak.

Seeing the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion being bullied and were forced to shut themselves within the sacred hall, others would naturally feel that they were weak.

It was okay if this was temporary. If this happened over a long time, the whole religion would be affected nastily.

"Mn?"

In the distance, Xue Ying brought his servant Magic Dragon and Marquis Qu Ming over. They might seem casually traveling over, yet they moved at quite a rapid pace–one step brought them close to the hall.

"He is?"

In the group of experts from the Sky Sword Sect, others were of the Unity realm, and only the leader was a ninth level expert known as 'Chang Su Wang'. He had trained in the secret impartation of the Sky Sword Sect, 'Sky Sword Undying Body' to the tenth level grand perfection stage. Only then did he gain the courage to deliberately come and shout at the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion! It was fine for ninth level experts to conduct such acts. Those who were stronger would disdain from doing it.

"This white-robed young man?" Chang Su Wang immediately recognized him, "It's that Ying Shan Xue Ying?"

Chang Su Wang might be shocked, though he was not afraid.

The reason why the Sky Sword Sect could spread so wide is due to how formidable the 'Sky Sword Undying Body' was. Once it is cultivated to the tenth level grand perfection stage, even Cosmos Gods had a hard time killing him, much less Xue Ying.

"Is this the personal disciple of Southern Cloud King, 'Ying Shan Xue Ying?'" Chang Su Wang announced loudly. That group of Unity realm experts from the Sky Sword Sect immediately stood behind him.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying?"

"The personal disciple of Southern Cloud King?"

"He is that Ying Shan Xue Ying who cultivated to the tenth level power in just 1.5 billion years? That Ying Shan Xue Ying who could fight directly against White Cloud Devil Master?"

In the distance, many people were gossiping about it. Xue Ying was relatively famous in the Black Devil Four Nations.

"You heard it clearly. This is the Fiery Zhao Nation. Your Southern Cloud Sacred Religion should obediently retreat. Otherwise, things won't end after a few ordinary disciples are killed just like previously." Chang Su Wang declared. His voice resounded in the surroundings, "Let us leave."

Saying that, he immediately turned and left.

He was clear that he wasn't the opponent of Xue Ying. But he was quite confident of leaving alive.

"Go?"

Xue Ying snorted.

His voice rang in the mind of Chang Su Wang. For a moment, Chang Su Wang was engulfed into the illusory realm.

Even though he was a ninth level expert, he had barely reached this stage by relying on the Sky Sword Undying Body. His soul was merely at the eighth level standard, and facing Xue Ying's illusory realm, Chang Su Wang could not resist at all. Xue Ying had easily destroyed the soul of the other party with a thought, causing him to die!

Xue Ying had unveiled his illusory realm technique with a lofty step!

Naturally, it would only have such miraculous effect when facing these ninth level experts that reached where they were by relying on external strength. If Xue Ying met those tenth level expert, his illusory realm technique would naturally not be enough.

Saying it was slow, but everything happened in an instance.

Chang Su Wang shouted out on the mouth: "Let us leave." That group of Unity realm experts from the Sky Sword Sect was prepared to be brought away.

When the illusory realm from Xue Ying descended and killed Chang Su Wang. It happened with a wave of his hand.

"Hu!"

Xue Ying's palm let out a dimmed light. It was crystalline white like jade. One could see the void ahead being swept away. Chang Su Wang and the other ten subordinates had all turned planar. And the next moment, that space had magically transformed into a piece of art.

That piece of art flew over to where Xue Ying was. This art contained Chang Su Wang and his subordinates. They were all standing in a daze and were no longer emitting any aura. Clearly, they were all dead and had become part of the art! If the soul of Chang Su Wang was fine, with his Sky Sword Undying Body, he could still fight his way out after being suppressed into the art.

Nevertheless, he remained still in the art piece, proving the fact that he had died.

Quite a few treasures even flew out from this piece of art into the hands of Xue Ying.

"Hang it on the outer wall of my Southern Cloud Sacred Hall." Xue Ying held onto this piece of art and passed it to Marquis Qu Ming who was currently staring with his mouth open.

"Good, good." Marquis Qu Ming nodded dumbly. He was staring blankly at the scroll of art in front of him. Too formidable. Too powerful.

"Remember, you must protect this art with arrays. It must remain hanging on the wall. This is the outcome for the Sky Sword Sect since they dared to act so rampantly in my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion." Xue Ying said. With the arrays protecting it, even tenth level experts could not destroy it nor take it away!

Hence, by using his illusory realm technique, Xue Ying combined it with the newly-learned secret impartation of the Southern Cloud Sacred 12 styles–Spectacular Painting!

Chapter 1050: Shocking the World

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

After Xue Ying finished giving his orders, he brought his magic dragon and headed towards the front entrance of Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

"Why aren't you opening the doors!" Marquis Qu Ming roared out.

"Hong long long~" The two towering doors were pushed open with a boom. Actually, everything that happened outside could be seen clearly from within the Fiery Zhao Nation capital's 'Southern Cloud Sacred Palace'. It was only that they had been frightened by how 'Chang Su Wang, a ninth level expert and his group of subordinates were turned into a piece of art'. Chang Su Wang was someone who cultivated the Sky Sword Undying Body to grand perfection. Even Cosmos Gods had a hard time trying to kill him.

One single move?

In a single instance? Turned into a piece of art?

As the doors open, a group of experts from the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace stood by the entrance in an orderly manner. They were led by two Primal Chaos experts. This group of 100 people gave off a grand aura as they saluted: "Senior Disciple Brother Xue Ying!"

This was the rules of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

All outer disciples had to greet inner disciples, senior disciple brothers or sisters, respectfully. And inner disciples were one rank lower than personal disciples and had to do likewise.

"Mn." Xue Ying nodded in acknowledgment. He brought his servant in.

"Brother Chun Qi, why are you not arranging a place of accommodation for Brother Xue Ying now?" Marquis Qu Ming shouted out.

"Yes yes."

One of the leading handsome and tanned Primal Chaos male naturally acknowledged, "Brother Xue Ying, please follow me."

All the disciples present, and even the cultivators to the distance that were paying attention to this place–no matter if they were just ordinary cultivators spectating or experts from the Fiery Zhao Nation royal family who hoped the two great religions fought, or the great devils from the Black Devil Great Lake, felt a chill down their spine when they that white-robed young man being escorted by the disciples from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

"What a Ying Shan Xue Ying. He is indeed an expert who reached the tenth level strength in just 1.5 billion years and could fight against White Cloud Devil Master directly. After becoming a student of Southern Cloud King, he has become more terrifying." An old Primal Chaos Realm devil sat alone in a restaurant a few million kilometers away as he spectated the proceedings.

He knew that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion would definitely retaliate when the Sky Sword Sect forced their way in. In his opinion, he was merely startled when Xue Ying appeared. Nevertheless, watching that technique, 'Spectacular Painting' that turned an expert like Chang Su Wang into a piece of art, and for that scroll of painting to be hung in the outer walls, had honestly stunned him.

"Spectacular Painting, one of the two secret impartation techniques of Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles. This is a tenth level technique. However, it absolutely cannot suppress Chang Su Wang." This old Primal Chaos man felt a chill deep his heart, "Chang Su Wang has died just like this without any fanfare, to the extent that I can't even find out how he did? This is too scary. He is so much scarier than during the Blood Sacrifice."

"Ying Shan Xue Ying is strong to this extent?" The experts from the Fiery Zhao Nation royal family felt their courage wavering. The Fiery Zhao Nation was the most chaotic of the Black Devil Four Nations. But precisely because it was chaotic, that made the experts here even crazier. Which of them did not rise from slaughtering others?

They were all excited to watch the battle between two of the ten great religions, the Sky Sword Sect, and the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

It's just that this Xue Ying was too brutal.

Seeing his technique which seemed soft like the wind, it was executed so casually, yet precisely because of this, the experts watching the battle felt great trepidation.

"Hang it somewhere more distinct. Right, right, that's the place." Marquis Qu Ming had spent quite a long time just on hanging this piece of art. Even though it was a simple task, he deliberately spent more effort and time, and even specially inlaid simple arrays on the frame of the art just to make it shine consistently–it was really dazzling.

"The two of you, stay here and guard it well." Marquis Qu Ming arranged another two subordinates of his.

Actually, with many arrays covering the surface of the outer walls of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace, there was no need to worry about this art being damaged. The reason why Marquis Qu Ming did so was to slap the face of 'Sky Sword Sect'.

The battle between the two religions was ruthless.

On the surface, they dared to set up a blockade and kill some of the outer disciples. In the dark, things were worse! After all, to the 'Southern Cloud King' and 'Sky Sword King' who sat high above, these two religions could earn them massive sums of cosmos crystals. Cosmos crystals represented resources, and they would naturally not retreat in front of adversity.

"Wah."

"They have turned into a piece of art?"

"Really? But that is an expert of Primal Chaos Realm!"

After Marquis Qu Ming finished with hanging the piece of art, he returned to the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. At that time, many observers rushed over. Even experts had teleported just to have a glance at that art with shock.

It was not just them.

As the news spread, quite a few aristocratic clan disciples from the Fiery Zhao Nation rushed over in their carriages. They came to look at that art and lamented. After all, 'Chang Su Wang' was quite famous in the Sky Sword Sect. For the sake of spreading the religion, he had significantly contributed. Such an outstanding character was turned into a piece of art and hung there?

"It's that Ying Shan Xue Ying?"

"The Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles"Spectacular Painting' isn't this formidable right? Chang Su Wang was eliminated so easily by it?"

Everyone was talking about this event.

It was to the extent that even aristocratic clan disciples who were situated in sleazy places were bragging about this matter too. They were relatively powerful in terms of their backgrounds, and most could find out legends on the two secret impartation techniques, 'Arch Destruction' and 'Spectacular Painting'. They were bragging about this matter even though most of them were only at Unity Realm in reality. Some were even ordinary Void Gods.

The weaker the cultivator, the more they loved haranguing about matters on those legends.

Clearly, Xue Ying was considered an absolute legend to them.

At a distance more than 50 million kilometers away from the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

Two figures stood in midair. They were looking in the direction of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. One of them, a cold violet-robed male had an expression that seemed akin to being covered in a layer of frost. By his side was an enchanting red-haired girl who muttered: "Master."

"What a Ying Shan Xue Ying." The eyes of the violet-robed male flickered with coldness, "It was said that the legendary Ancestor Fan wanted to take him in as a disciple. He is indeed quite outstanding."

He, 'Thunder King' Mo Chao, was the chief manager for the Sky Sword Sect's mission to enter the Black Devil Four Nations.

He was merely an inner disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, but his status was higher than other personal disciples because he was one of the two 'Dao Protectors' that the Sky Sword Sect had currently. His teacher was even more mysterious. Even though it was not publicized, the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion could vaguely deduce that he should be a horrifying existence from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

"Master, what should we do?" The enchanting girl said with a soft voice from the side, "Should we invite the two emissaries for help?"

This time, the mission to enter the Black Devil Four Nations was crucial to the Sky Sword Sect.

Hence, the Myriad Realms Sky Sword Sect and Summer Wind Ancient Nation both dispatched an ultra-powerful expert to aid them in the dark. After all, these two ancient nations had earned quite a lot from 'Sky Sword Sect' over the long years. They would certainly provide help in crucial moments like this.

"The two of them? This Ying Shan Xue Ying has eliminated Chang Su Wang with the flip of his hand. I can't even see clearly what technique was it that he used." The violet-robed male sneered, "Without understanding how powerful Ying Shan Xue Ying is, it is impossible for the two ancient nations to act."

Even though they were relying on the two ancient nations.

The experts from the Sky Sword Sect still held resentment for the two great ancient nations. After all, they were spending so much effort and risking their lives to spread the religion, yet most of the cosmos crystals had been taken away by the two great ancient nations. Furthermore, those cultivators from the ancient nations were ostentatious, and they, experts from the Sky Sword Sect, still had to endure it! They felt resentment and sullen, yet they had no choice. Who could offend the two great ancient nations?

"The Southern Cloud King isn't acting. The moment he did, it is something so amazing. It seems we have to spend more effort in the following days." The violet-robed male frowned slightly.

What he did not know.

Was that the Southern Cloud King had not known his disciple was so powerful. Furthermore, after this matter happened in the Fiery Zhao Nation, Southern Cloud King was also startled when he received news of it.

Southern Cloud Capital, within the meditation cultivation ground of the royal palace.

"Xue Ying, this brat, is so powerful?" Southern Cloud King was astounded. There were still three black-robed men standing to his side, of which one of them said solemnly: "King, do the three of us still have to set off?"

"The Sky Sword Sect came in like torrential rain. It isn't easy to deal against them. I originally wanted to make use of this opportunity to temper Xue Ying, yet who would have thought that I am still underestimating this disciple of mine." Southern Cloud King smiled, "Now that he has performed excellently in the Fiery Zhao Nation, then let him continue. The three of you can rest first. Wait until something crops out before acting. Withdraw for now."

"Yes." The three black-robed men acknowledged orderly. Following that, they turned into fog and disappeared.

The eyes of the Southern Cloud King were filled with curiosity.

Given how wealthy he was, it was unlikely that the strength he had was limited to what he showed others. The six great ancient nations wanted to gain from him, yet he was able to resist for so many years. He naturally was confident of his foundation.

Chapter 1051: Five Phases Sealing Technique

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The Southern Cloud King sat there. His gaze crossed through the void and landed just outside the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace within Fiery Zhao Nation.

One could see his eyes flitting through many scenes, of which there was one where Xue Ying dealt against Chang Su Wang. Actually, given Xue Ying's current strength, he could manipulate time-space with greater finesse especially after his soul had been nourished with the mysterious aura from the higher dimensional world outside the Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, many scouting techniques would fail to locate where Xue Ying was.

Just like how Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master hid his avatar in the past, even the Sacred Master could not find it. Only 'Old Monster Stone' with his unique technique could do so.

Given the strength of Southern Cloud King, it was still impossible for him to trace all the way to where 'Xue Ying was'.

But that battle was something he knew beforehand! Hence, he just had to observe that location and investigate through the past.

'Weird.'

'What exactly is the technique that allowed him to deal with Chang Su Wang so soundlessly while not leaving behind any clues?' Southern Cloud King thought. Other combat techniques would create a massive disturbance. But the illusory realm dealt against the soul. Hence it did not produce any ripples at all.

'Is it a soul-related technique? Or some unique secret treasure?' Southern Cloud King made his guesses. He then smiled.

No matter what.

It was a good thing that his disciple was strong. Powerful cultivators would usually have their own secrets. The Southern Cloud King would not dig this out as well.

'The foundation of Sky Sword Sect is weaker than my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. But with two great ancient nations aiding them, my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion is overall at a disadvantaged. This disciple of mine is still more amazing than I expected.' Southern Cloud King looked forward to it. Just like how the two great ancient nations had dispatched experts to help the Sky Sword Sect in the dark. After all, it meant nothing when a mysterious expert from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation appear and defeat Xue Ying.

That mysterious expert wasn't a disciple from the Sky Sword Sect.

His victory did not represent the absolute art from 'Sky Sword Sect' was more powerful!

Hence, only when the disciples from the two great religions compete could it determine the strength between the two great religions. Xue Ying was the personal disciple of the Southern Cloud King! His victory, especially when he utilized void techniques, represented the prowess of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. It made many cultivators recognize: "Ying Shan Xue Ying has joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and grew so much. It is right for me to join the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion as well, and learning at least part of what Ying Shan Xue Ying did would be sufficient."

After all, the more geniuses a religion had, and the more experts it had, the more attractive that religion would be.

Fiery Zhao Nation, within the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.

Xue Ying had already dismissed his subordinates. He was cultivating by himself.

"Hu hu hu."

Nonetheless, sounds of the wind whistling could be heard from within the completely sealed hall. A white-robed young man was currently seated on a praying mat. Above him were three strands of ray that covered the entire sky. A single light ray was actually a piece of dark primal chaos that was incredibly heavy. The void that contained this primal chaos had congealed in its presence. The second light ray was filled with void and emptiness–it would appear at times and disappear at times. The last light ray, though, was a surging wave of the void.

Currently, the sound of the wind was produced from the faint yet-to-formed fourth light ray.

When it condensed, it would turn into silk. Yet as it dissipated, it would transform into a mist.

The object in question was the void. The void had been compressed into strands of silk and separated into an incorporeal matter.

"I always lack just that bit to completing this technique." Xue Ying sat there frowning. He was doing his best to condense the fourth light ray, yet it dissipated immediately after that.

"Sou."

The cross-legged Xue Ying moved.

He teleported to the midair, albeit his body had suddenly turned planar–he had transformed into a piece of art. His entire person sat within this piece of art. Closely following that, the art dissipated just like mist. The seated Xue Ying suddenly flashed and soon divided into a dense number of several hundred bodies all seated down.

"Five phases, five phases. I always lack that final bit to completing this 'Mist Phase'…" The several hundred seated Xue Ying muttered to himself.

"That's right!"

Suddenly, the eyes of all hundreds of Xue Ying brightened. This time, the feeling he perceived was perfect–he was confident. With a thought, the fourth light ray was condensed above. This fourth light ray was really like silk and the mist. Both states could naturally transform to one another easily, with the void state changing into a stream of water. If this stream of water were used to restrict someone else, it could easily cut the enemy into pieces. And when the ray transformed into a fog, it could entrap the enemy within.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that the first day I arrive at the Fiery Zhao Nation will see me completing the Mist Phase! It seems that the Fiery Zhao Nation is my lucky ground!" Xue Ying could not help but burst out in laughter.

The Dao of Void.

Before taking the Southern Cloud King as his teacher, Xue Ying had researched in two different directions –the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles and the Scarlet Cloud God Spear direction. Both paths had been cultivated to the pinnacle of Primal Chaos realm. Nevertheless, in order to step into the Cosmos God realm, Xue Ying naturally had to continue researching into more directions where the void could head to since only by fusing them together could it increase his chances of breaking through.

Thus, not long after becoming the student of Southern Cloud King, he used the reason that he already grasped the Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique to choose another void-related absolute art from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion–the Five Phases Sealing Technique.

Five Phases Sealing Technique!

That was the strongest void absolute art that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had!

That's right.

The strongest!

Even though there were three other techniques more precious than that–Three Realms Technique, Avatar Technique and the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique when comparing the contribution points required…

But the Three Realms Technique was a time-related absolute art. The Avatar Technique was a technique meant for survival and was precious because it was both rare and because it was meant for survival. The Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique was an even more heaven-defying fleeing cultivation technique. By relying on it, it was possible for a cultivator to escape to another origin world! However, the difficulty of cultivating it was very high. One had to become a Cosmos God using the Dao of Void and reach the second level of Cosmos God before they were qualified to learn it. Furthermore, the probability of grasping it was not high. Xue Ying did even have the qualifications to learn it.

Unlike those mentioned above where one was used for survival and the other for fleeing.

The Five Phases Sealing Technique was a combat absolute art! And it was an incredibly horrifying one.

Five Phases Sealing Technique!

It contained five different paths of Dao in the void, and was thus called the 'five phases'.

They were 'Sky Phase', 'Earth Phase', 'Violet Phase', 'Mist Phase' and 'Origin Phase', also the five different states that the void could exist in. Different Dao paths could be used to break through to the Primal Chaos realm.

Any of the five phases could allow the cultivator to reach the ninth level just by achieving small success.

If one succeeded in cultivating all five phases!

They could be used to complement one another–'Five Phases Sealing Technique'. When a cultivator unleashed five ninth level techniques and fuse them as one, the power unleashed would be great! This technique was more frightening than the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles. Even some other secret impartation techniques which the Southern Cloud King had could not compare with it. This was unquestionably the strongest absolute art that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion owned, and also the hardest to cultivate!

However, this was still not the most savage scripture in the origin world.

It was difficult for a person to even grasp a ninth level technique. To grasp five ninth level techniques in five different Dao paths of the void, one could feel how nightmarish was it to do this! But when a cultivator succeeded in learning it, the Southern Cloud King would directly bestow a precious secret treasure known as the 'Five Phases Beads'! By relying on the Five Phases Beads, each of the five 'ninth level techniques' could be unleashed at a tenth level strength.

When five different tenth level techniques were fused together perfectly as one, only then could that fusion technique be called abnormally horrifying. By then, the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique' could even seal the Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique! Those weaker would be crushed to death after being trapped within!

An ultra tyrannical absolute art!

Also extremely difficult to learn.

After all, one had to grasp five different Dao paths. Actually, the more heaven-defying the absolute art was the harsher the conditions to learn it. For instance, the difficulty of understanding the Three Realms Technique was beyond that for grasping the Five Phases Sealing Technique. There were plentiful who turned mad and suicided after cultivating that absolute art! Nonetheless, after succeeding in understanding the Three Realms Technique, the cultivator would be able to unleash a more horrifying power above that of the Five Phases Sealing Technique.

'I've finally succeeded in grasping four phases ever since I started learning the Five Phases Sealing Technique.' Xue Ying thought. Fortunately, he had accumulated a strong foundation. In his previous life, he cultivated in different directions of the void. In this life, he learned the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles and the Scarlet Cloud lineage too.

'I am only left with the final phase–Origin Phase!'

Xue Ying pondered. He cast his gaze in the void ahead of him. The void was magnified continuously in his eyes until Xue Ying finally saw the essence of the void–many layers of black fog spherical bodies that formed a membrane.

'The Origin Phase. I've seen its Origin Phase in my previous life already. In this current life, I've even used the Arch Destruction to break out of the cage to cultivate the avatar technique. Nevertheless, my understanding of it is too shallow.' Xue Ying thought.

Chapter 1052: An Encounter at the Pub with Poisonous Insects

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

'It's still fortunate that I only require small success and not large success or even grand perfection!' Xue Ying thought. This absolute art was split into three levels–small success, large success, and grand perfection!

Xue Ying had spent quite a lot of effort on comprehending the Five Phases Sealing Technique, especially after creating a ninth level move in the Mirage and Illusory Realm Dao–the majority of his concentration was placed on the Dao of Void.

He had accumulated a lot of experience in this.

The 'Sky Phase' was also the Dao path that Void Primogenitor from Xue Ying's previous life took. The 'Voidwalker' lineage was absolutely a darling of the void. Even his teacher, Gu Qi, had not comprehended the 'Destructive Realm Teleportation technique', yet he could teleport across an ultra-long distance already! He could even forcibly take over control of a vast void space despite being separated by a long distance. Hence, the Sky Phase was also about this large-scale control of the void.

The 'Earth Phase' was an entirely different path. It was essentially the study of substance. Xue Ying had once spent a trillion years walking along the 'Lost World Corridor' once, spending all his time studying the construct of the Lost World Corridor. The void had transformed into a substance, forming many void ancient trees. They even created eggs that produced Destruction Devils. Xue Ying comprehended for a trillion years, and hence, his experience in this aspect was deep.

The 'Violent Phase' had many similarities with the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique. They were of the same path. Xue Ying had trained the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique to the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm already, and could no longer improve further! Hence, this phase was completed very quickly.

The 'Mist Phase', was slightly more troublesome. It was quite similar to part of the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles"Spectacular Painting'. And even then, it took Xue Ying until now to grasp it.

As for the 'Origin Phase', he had yet to succeed!

Actually, Xue Ying was only a bit lacking in breaking through to the Cosmos God given his current realm. At this moment, the number of possible pathways that the Dao of Void could diverge would not exceed ten.

Hence, learning five phases was already grasping the majority of the Void Dao path!

Fiery Zhao Nation. The Sky Sword Sect occupied a vast area. Within a residence.

"Fellow cultivators, my Sky Sword Sect has suffered from quite a huge loss this time. A Conferred King has died just right there!" The violet-robed Thunder King 'Mo Chao' sat cross-legged sweeping his gaze across two other existences seated nearby. One of them had red skin and a twisted horn protruding from his head. He was gulping down all sorts of unique metallic object and stones. To him, metal and stone was food. The other was someone who looked queer. He was covered in a black robe. The entire black robe was filled with black fog that contained some insects flying about. His eyes had been formed by some red-colored insects.

These two existences were the two emissaries.

That cultivator who was eating all sorts of metal and stones came from the Fan Clan of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation! Of the three great clans in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, only the Fan Clan placed emphasis on the outer world. The other two great clans were too lazy to care about the external world.

And the other cultivator wrapped in black robe originated from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

"Previously, I've gone to see that piece of art." The black-robed expert said in a hoarse voice, "Your Sky Sword Sect's Chang Su Wang has truly turned into a piece of art. As they say, spectacular painting. It is really a spectacular painting!"

The other 'Thunder King' Mo Chao who was a Conferred King from the Sky Sword Sect felt slightly frustrated.

"It is impossible for Spectacular Painting to achieve this power. It could possibly be a soul technique or some unique secret treasure." The crimson-skinned expert casually mentioned. He continued eating his metal and stones with crackling sounds, "In my opinion, your Sky Sword Sect should send another tenth level expert to fight again. I don't believe that we can't grasp the bottom line of that tenth level expert at all."

Mo Chao did not answer.

Send another?

It was fine that he lost a ninth level expert. That was something the Sky Sword Sect could still accept. But if they lose a tenth level expert, that would be too huge a price.

"My Sky Sword Sect has suffered from such a huge loss. It is time for the two of you to act, isn't it?" Mo Chao urged them.

"I'll send some of my children to understand how strong he is." The black-robed expert nonchalantly said.

"Right, right, right, we should understand how strong he is. Only then can we form a plan and acquire victory in one fell swoop." The crimson-skinned expert continued eating, "There is no need to rush. With the character of that Southern Cloud King, he should be hiding. It is likely that he'll move slowly and conduct things in the dark. Only then could he gain a huge victory from a small one. This Ying Shan Xue Ying is too young. He is the first one to be sent over, and is likely to be the vanguard."

"Mn."

Mo Chao and the black-robed expert both agreed.

It was really difficult to permeate into the Black Devil Four Nations. They prepared really amply this time, albeit they did not expect the 'vanguard' that the Southern Cloud King sent this time to be so formidable!

Xue Ying wanted to cultivate the Mirage and Illusory realm, yet he had no improvement temporarily. Neither did he have any secret treasures. He lacked in just a single phase in the Dao of Void's Five Phases Sealing Technique. As for reaching the 'pinnacle of void-ification', that was even more difficult.

Hence, his cultivation had finally entered a bottleneck.

Xue Ying came out of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace and went for a stroll in the Fiery Zhao Nation.

"What are some of the famous places for food and drinks in the capital of Fiery Zhao Nation?" Xue Ying asked Marquis Qu Ming before going out. Marquis Qu Ming understood more about this place and gave quite a lot of recommendations to Xue Ying.

"If there is any matter, just directly send a message to me."

Just like this, he brought his Magic Dragon and went out for a stroll.

He visited many places with good food.

Xue Ying would either visit the pubs by the side of the road or the towering and massive restaurants. He would even visit some of the luxurious and crowded red-light parlors. As long as there were good food and drinks, Xue Ying would go and have a try.

"The fifth place." As Xue Ying enjoyed all sorts of good food and drinks, he entered a pub with a fabulous mood. The previously vexed feeling of his from meeting a bottleneck had long dissipated. Currently, Xue Ying felt carefree.

"Good, very tasty!"

"Not bad, tsk tsk, I should bring back more of this wine." Xue Ying was really enjoying himself.

The Magic Dragon had been forced to sit by the side and accompany him in eating.

The pub was not that big. It was only a single level, yet business was good, and there were many customers. After Xue Ying reached grand perfection in the Southern Cloud Sacred Body, his aura had been hidden to the extent that he felt like a mortal. Even though the Magic Dragon kept his aura too, its concealment effect was weaker, and the Unity experts around could sense his aura easily. The manager of this pub felt reverence for him and arranged the best seat for them.

Just as they finished half the meal.

"Scram."

"Hurry up and scram. Scram further away from here."

"My master has taken over the entire pub. Everyone else, scram now."

One could see a group of Unity realm experts entering the pub and shouting to all the customers within. Everyone was frightened by this scene that they all rushed away.

"It is actually a group of Unity realm experts. They seem to be protectors."

"Their master should likely have a huge origin."

The majority of the customers were ordinary cultivators. Very few of them were at the Unity realm. Hence, they naturally ran from this. Those who survived long enough in the capital of Fiery Zhao Nation would have gained the ability to discern, and knew when to hide when it was time!

"The two of you hurry up and scram too." Those Unity realm experts even pointed towards Xue Ying and the Magic Dragon who were still seated there.

Xue Ying frowned.

And the Magic Dragon immediately stood at that moment. He released his full aura, causing a savage and murderous aura to rush over. This eruption had reached the ninth level power, and it was so dense that it frightened some of the Unity realm experts. That muscular Magic Dragon then shouted: "Scram!"

"Hua–"

At that moment, a luxurious carriage descended slowly.

"Master is here."

"Oh no, it seems we are in trouble!"

Those Unity realm experts had ugly expressions. Nevertheless, they still immediately went out of the pub to welcome their master respectfully. One could see another group of protectors on the luxurious carriage with beautiful female servants serving two male seated there. One was a handsome devilish male that emitted aura at the Primal Chaos realm. The other was a gorgeous male garbed in green, though he was only at the Unity realm.

"What is happening?" The male in green nonchalantly asked.

"Your Highness, there are customers within who aren't willing to leave. Also, there is a Primal Chaos expert inside." A servant immediately answered from below.

"Primal Chaos realm? A Primal Chaos giant dares to be so arrogant even in the capital of Fiery Zhao Nation?" The gorgeous male sneered. He naturally disdained those experts since he was the seventh prince of the Fiery Zhao Nation. And this time, he had invited a personal disciple of the 'Blood Devil Religious Master' from the Black Devil Great Lake. Currently, that personal disciple was even at the ninth level power.

At that time, the handsome and devilish male squinted. He carefully scanned the muscular hunk and white-robed young man seated inside, before feeling fearful the next moment!

"It's him?" That gorgeous and devilish male panicked!

Even though the Southern Cloud King had reached a compromise with the three religious masters from the Black Devil Great Lake.

Both sides did not stop fighting and killing at all. The Black Devil Great Lake would frequently act and send many cities for Blood Sacrifice! And with the Summer Wind Ancient Nation leading, the Southern Cloud Nation, Snow Hook Nation, and Maple Nest Nation frequently retaliated too.

"I have never thought that it is Brother Xue Ying. Sorry for the disturbance." The handsome and devilish male shouted before transmitting a message to the seventh prince in a hurry: "Hurry up and leave! That is Ying Shan Xue Ying."

"What?"

This seventh prince was frightened so much that his face turned white at that moment.

Right at that moment when he was prepared to leave, three insects of differing colors came from the void stealthily. They tunneled directly into three of the protectors by the side of the pub. Those protectors felt their bodies shaking before they turned towards the white-robed young man who was calmly drinking within the pub.

And that Xue Ying who had been casually drinking and ignoring what was happening in the outer world, frowned at this moment. He looked towards the three protectors.

With his void perception, he naturally knew that the three strange bugs had entered the bodies of the three protectors, and all three had died. It's a pity that the poisonous insects came too sudden that he could not save the three pitiful protectors.

"Master asked you to leave, yet why aren't you doing it?"

"Hurry up and scram!"

The three protectors furiously shouted and walked directly into the pub.

And the seventh prince and that gorgeous devilish male who were able to leave, felt stunned when they saw that.

"You three fools, why aren't you leaving? Hurry up!" The seventh prince transmitted and roared. At that time, the handsome and devilish male sensed something was amiss: "Not good!"

"Are you seeking death by not giving respect to my master?" The three protectors roared. Even though they were walking, their speed was rapid. They took several steps before arriving where Xue Ying was.

Xue Ying looked up. He placed down the wine cup before casting his gaze on the three protectors.

"Weng."

An unseen fluctuation suddenly swept over.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

The bodies of the three protectors immediately shattered and dissipated in this world, revealing just three insects of differing colors. Those three insects remained perfectly fine–they had withstood Xue Ying's direct attack using the Scarlet Cloud Domain.

Chapter 1053: Peculiar Poisonous Insects

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Despite a horrifying sweep by the ripple, the three insects that had entirely different aura remained undamaged. Their appearance had caused the protectors outside the pub and the seventh prince and handsome devilish male sitting on the carriage to tremble uncontrollably. This was terror and reverence from deep in their hearts.

Of these three insects, one had an incorporeal appearance that faded away at times. It was a half-translucent silver poisonous insect.

Another was a black insect that seemed the most ordinary of the three.

The last one was the insect that actually brought terror to the surrounding cultivators. This was a dark violet insect that currently emanated a frightening fog. This fog naturally spread in the direction where Xue Ying and the servant Magic Dragon was.

"Not good."

"What a horrifying poisonous insect."

The handsome and devilish male felt his expression shifting. There was once an unparalleled existence who was known for his ability to nurture insects in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. He was known as 'Devouring Realm Great Emperor' and had even opened up a unique space before sealing a large number of his subordinates in. He then bestowed upon his subordinates with some abnormally powerful insects, fusing together as one with his subordinates. As a result, those weaker subordinates of his had immediately transformed into an ultra-powerful expert.

That occurred at a period before the first War of the Ancient Nations. The Realm Heart Great Land was extremely chaotic then, and many experts were scattered in all places. History of that period had been vague, though that Devouring Realm Great Emperor was known as an unparalleled existence on the level of Ancestor Fan. Hence, quite a few records existed on him. There were all sorts of exciting legends and rumors about him. Currently, many cultivators were seeking for the remnants left behind by this Devouring Realm Great Emperor.

That's right.

The Devouring Realm Great Emperor had died before the first War of the Ancient Nation! The reason he died was unclear. Though it seemed vaguely related to the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation. Because Devouring Realm Great Emperor's self-created absolute art meant for nurturing the insects, the Devouring Realm True Scripture was currently in one of the five ancestors from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation–'Realm Beast King'. And presently, almost all cultivators who specialized in controlling poisonous insects came from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

'An expert from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation? He is here to deal against Ying Shan Xue Ying from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion?' The handsome and devilish male felt chill in his heart. He wanted to get as far away from these two experts as possible at this moment.

Nevertheless, the battle started too quickly, and the poisonous fog spread too fast. The surrounding space had already been sealed, preventing him from escaping at all.

'Poisonous insects? Is the enemy from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation?'

Xue Ying remained seated there. Yet a short pole had appeared in his hands. That short pole was then used to randomly knock around.

Even though he did not move, that short pole had strangely appeared beside each of the three insects, smashing down on them.

"Peng peng peng!"

Three clashing sounds could be heard, though, at the place where the pole hit the insect, the force seemed to dissipate after encountering a strange, mysterious aura. Of those three poisonous insects, only that dark green one that was emitting the poisonous fog had shattered into powder. The other two was blasted back, yet they remained fine.

"Yi?" Xue Ying was incredibly shocked.

It might seem like he had casually knocked the pole around, yet in reality, Xue Ying was utilizing one of the secret impartation techniques from the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles, the 'Arch Destruction'.

This was absolutely the most powerful and brutal technique.

This move used together with the 'Scarlet Cloud Domain' allowed it to easily hit at the weakness of the enemies. The move had appeared directly where the enemy was before unleashing its full force on them. Nonetheless, only one poisonous insect was killed.

'These poisonous insects seem to have very powerful bodies. The Dao of Insect is indeed scary.' Xue Ying exclaimed inwardly. Just like how cultivators who refined their bodies were careful in doing to prevent themselves from inflicting damages on it–after all, damage to the soul would mean death! But things were not the same for the 'insects'. The insects could be reproduced in large numbers, and even though it was difficult to nurture them to a frightening level, their deaths only meant losses of external materials.

Hence, the Dao of Insect could be reproduced continuously, allowing different insects specializing in various aspects to be formed!

'The Arch Destruction could even break apart the cage, yet only one of the three poisonous insects is killed. The Devouring Realm True Scripture is amazing indeed.' Xue Ying thought. Every one of the 'five ancestors' from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation was extremely monstrous. Even the Summer Wind Ancient Nation had been suppressed by them.

"Die."

Xue Ying waved his short pole yet again.

Those two insects that were knocked into a daze by the 'Arch Destruction', were smashed once again by the seemingly ordinary short pole. In reality, this short pole was transformed from the Scarlet Cloud God Spear! Xue Ying did not wish to enter close combat with these poisonous insects.

"Pu.""Pu."

The short pole hit once again.

Even though that incorporeal silver poisonous insect that shuddered from the hit, it remained entirely undamaged.

And that black insect was smashed to the extent that it intensely vibrate. The insect had started spewing blood from its orifices–its aura was clearly much weaker now.

'The tenth level technique, 'Piercing Void'. This is still the first time I have such a hard time killing some insects.' Xue Ying's eyes brightened though.

The Piercing Void was the most ruthless and hard to deal with killing move from the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique. Even combat formations were deemed futile in front of it. It could also bypass some powerful protective bodies generated by secret treasures, easily tunneling into the body of the enemy through the void and proceed with destruction…

"Peng peng peng."

The short pole in Xue Ying's hand formed many shadows. Practically an instance later, a total of 19 hits landed on the black insect, causing it to explode in the end.

As for that incorporeal silver poisonous insect, Xue Ying merely tapped it twice before trapping it and preventing it from escaping.

'Who would have thought that such a unique insect actually exists.' Xue Ying's eyes brightened as he scrutinized it. This incorporeal silver poisonous insect attempted to kill its way over to Xue Ying, yet Xue Ying easily deflected it.

"Hua."

He first waved his hand.

That space was suppressed and transformed into a piece of art. The poisonous silver insect also naturally transformed into art. But closely following that, the scroll of painting shattered, and the poisonous silver insect flew out of it.

'I can't kill it, and neither can I capture it. Must I utilize my illusory realm technique?' Xue Ying thought. He knew that the owner of these poisonous insects must be relying on them to understand the whole process of the battle. The moment Xue Ying used his illusory realm, it would be revealed to the enemy. Previously, even though he utilized it to deal against Chang Su Wang, Chang Su Wang had been instantaneously killed, and nobody discovered how it happened.

But since he dared to use it previously, Xue Ying did not care too much either. After all, he had refined an avatar already, and there was no need for him to remain undercover.

'Such a queer insect. For the sake of capturing him, it doesn't matter even if I reveal my illusory realm technique.' Xue Ying looked at this incorporeal silver poisonous insect. His eyes were filled with expectations. With a thought.

"Weng."

An unseen illusory realm spread over.

A poisonous insect, even if it was heaven-defying, could not resist against Xue Ying's illusory realm. It immediately fell into a daze and stopped midair. Soon, it started falling.

"Sou." Xue Ying casually extended his hand and captured this poisonous silver insect whose consciousness had already been exterminated.

'So interesting.' Xue Ying gave it a careful look. Given his current realm of the void, Xue Ying was able to magnify the incorporeal body of that poisonous silver insect. It turned into a vast land in the eyes of Xue Ying. Many mysterious inscriptions were moving on the body of this poisonous silver insect. These inscriptions were formed naturally, allowing this poisonous insect to gain the innate talent of being congenial with the essence of the void's black fog spherical particles. Every action of the poisonous insect could produce transformations of those black fog spherical particles.

Even after suffering from assaults, it could rely on the essence of the void to dissipate the force.

Even though it had not reached the 'pinnacle of void-ification', Xue Ying's 'Penetrating Void' that was unpredictable and hard to evade had been withstood by this poisonous silver insect as it dissipated off roughly 80-90% of the force. The remaining force was something its fleshy body could hold off.

'Such void-ification capability, to utilize part of the energy with the essence of the void is truly mysterious.' Xue Ying had spent many years bitterly comprehending the final 'Origin Phase' from the Five Phase Sealing Technique. Currently, he had finally seen a strange beast that could control the black fog spherical particles. Naturally, Xue Ying could not control his excitement and captured it.

Even though the act of cultivation was filled with mystery, the Origin World contained many mysterious things too–like the Destruction Devils that emerged from the origin world, 'Primal Chaos Void' contained beings like General Mo Gu who had reached the pinnacle of void-ification at birth.

Nevertheless, in the Realm Heart Great Land, there had been cultivators who could nurture insects that were so frightening!

Yet it was extremely difficult to cultivate to this stage!

"Go, let us return." Xue Ying stood up. After getting this poisonous silver insect, he no longer had the mood to enjoy the food. He only desired to enter closed-door cultivation and study on the essence of the void.

"Yes." The servant Magic Dragon acknowledged.

Saying it was slow.

In reality, Xue Ying merely sat there. He first blasted three protectors using an unseen ripple, before carrying a short pole and knock on the three poisonous insects. No matter how the three poisonous insects flew, the short pole would somehow land on their bodies. Two were exterminated, and one was captured. As for the remaining poisonous fog, Xue Ying merely controlled the void domain and teleported them high into the sky half a million kilometers away. Without the source, the toxic fog naturally dissipated.

As for the group of people outside the pub, they were all respectfully looking at the white-robed young man as he brought his servant away.

Report chapter

In one of the residences within the Sky Sword Sect Palace.

There was a black-robed expert seated cross-legged. Underneath the black robe, only mist could be seen. And amidst the mist were poisonous insects flying about.

His eyes that were condensed from a pair of red-colored insects remained calm: 'Killing a 'Soul Inducing Poisonous Insect' in just one move? This power meant that he has succeeded in training the Arch Destruction! This also means that he has grasped the two secret impartation techniques of the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles, and should likely have cultivated in the avatar technique too. How troublesome. It seems that this is an opponent who could not be killed.'

Like the famous 'Gong Liang Yi' from Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, he was able to move unhindered in all places and contributed significantly for the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Nevertheless, he had fallen twice, and those two times were when the Southern Cloud King could not reach him in time!

But even as he fell, he had his avatars, allowing him to return in a swirl of dust.

'The Power Magical Insect has died so quickly? It seems he has almost grasped the entire Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique too.' The pupils of the black-robed expert dilated. The Power Magical Insect was known for its 'power magic'. It was an extremely tyrannical insect, and also the poisonous insect which he primarily nurtured. One-third of the top-graded poisonous insects he owned were the Power Magical Insect! This type of insect had a strong body that even a tenth level expert had a hard time destroying it. Furthermore, the insects had powerful offenses too.

But the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique was very vicious. Most opponents would find it hard to defend against it even if they had a strong fleshy body or formidable secret treasures.

'But he did not have the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique absolute art. Just a single spear and he was able to comprehend it.' The black-robed expert shook his head softly.

'The Void Dragon Insect is dead as well. Illusory realm?'

The strands of consciousness left behind on the three insects by the black-robed expert had been wiped. But this minor loss was something he did not care.

'He has grasped both secret impartation techniques and has almost comprehended the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique. He has even grasped an illusory realm technique that is at least the eighth level?' The black-robed expert pondered. Xue Ying did not have to use his full force when dealing against a single poisonous insect. Just by utilizing an eighth level power illusory realm was sufficient to wipe out the consciousness of the insect.

'I've almost completed what I set out to do, losing just three formidable poisonous insects. I have practically understood the strength of Ying Shan Xue Ying. After which, it should be time for them to act.' The black-robed expert was very casual. Even though he felt a little heart pain from this minor loss, it was not an arduous task nurturing the insects again after spending some treasures.

Now that he had scouted the strength of the enemy, it was time for them to plan an assassination plan that dealt against Xue Ying's weakness.

If it were a simple opponent, they would have dealt against him in broad daylight. This could improve the reputation of the Sky Sword Sect as well.

Nevertheless, Xue Ying was too hard to handle. They had to eradicate him in the dark! This time, the operation of Sky Sword Sect sending their army into the Black Devil Four Nations was supported by the two great ancient nations. They were naturally amply prepared.

"Eradicate him in the dark."

"The only thing we have to be careful is his illusory realm technique! But he has cultivated for only a short period, and neither does the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion own any powerful Mirage and Illusory Realm absolute art. It should not be that powerful. Furthermore, ever since the birth of Ying Shan Xue Ying, there has yet to be a single Mirage and Illusory Realm tenth level secret treasure that was sold. His illusory realm should not have reached the ninth level realm! Otherwise, that old man Southern Cloud King would have bought a Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure for his disciple."

"Since he could deal against Chang Su Wang, even if he had not reached the ninth level in his illusory realm, it should be at the very least the peak of the eighth level."

The experts of the Sky Sword Sect were discussing and planning.

Even though the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique and Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles were formidable, these experts were not afraid. Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master had once been killed in the past. It was just a tenth level expert, and the Sky Sword Sect, being one of the ten great religions, could easily deal against this kind of party.

The only thing making them headache was the illusory realm.

A tenth level illusory realm technique was something abnormally horrifying! When the illusory realm descended, they would survive if they could resist it! Otherwise, they would die!

Fortunately, absolute arts that could allow the cultivator to reach the tenth level in the illusory realm was too precious, and would absolutely not be imparted to outsiders. Hence, Xue Ying would definitely not learn it. The only way he could grasp a tenth level move in this Dao was by relying on a secret treasure. Nevertheless, not a single tenth level Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure had been sold during the past billions of years. That was why nobody felt distressed.

If a secret treasure had been sold…

They would likely send another expert to understand Xue Ying's strength and confirm if the other party had truly grasped the tenth level illusory realm technique. If it were so, they would likely give up their plan of advance!

An expert with a tenth level illusory realm technique could practically sweep across 99% of all tenth level experts. Every one of them was existences that could cause the expressions of other cultivators to pale! The Sky Sword Sect would likely negotiate with the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion again.

"The plan has been fixed. A total of five tenth level experts will be working together."

"Almost all of them has reached. We can start the operation anytime."

"Ying Shan Xue Ying is in closed-door cultivation within the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. Let's wait. We'll start the operation once he leaves the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace! After all, there are many arrays within the sacred palace. It wouldn't be to our advantage if we acted there."

The Sky Sword Sect was incredibly patient.

The five experts.

One came from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation, and two from the Fan Clan. The last two came from the Sky Sword Sect. This was arranged according to the 'assassination plan'. After all, the Fan Clan and the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation had many experts. Many tenth level experts who originated from those places had trained in powerful secret impartation techniques.

No other choice. The backing was too huge!

As their strength increased, the ancient nation would hold a more significant advantage over the rest of the world. Because they owned many formidable secret impartation techniques. Cosmos Gods that originated from ancient nations could deal against several from outside. This was also the reason why many experts from the six great ancient nations disdained those who came from outside.

Within the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace, in a cultivation room.

Xue Ying was currently cultivating here.

'According to the records, this insect is known as the Void Dragon Insect.' Xue Ying observed the corpse of the silver incorporeal poisonous insect floating in front of him. For the sake of researching it, Xue Ying had even utilized the intelligence system from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion to gather various information regarding insects. The cultivation techniques for nurturing poisonous insects were extraordinarily precious and hard to find. Nevertheless, the common knowledge on these poisonous insects was quite easy to gather.

A total of 39 void-related insects were recorded in the information gathered.

And this 'Void Dragon Insect' was merely one of them.

'Interesting.'

'It could actually control and influence the black fog spherical particles, allowing it to reach such a high standard in its void-ification capabilities. In terms of void-ification, it isn't any worse than me.' Xue Ying exclaimed inwardly. His void-ification ability was likely beyond that of his Senior Disciple Brother Gong Liang Yi and Senior Disciple Sister Empress Ghost Li.

One reason was that he had reached the tenth level grand perfection in his Southern Cloud Sacred Body.

The other reason was that Xue Ying's experience and research into the void-ification was too profound. The Walker's Hidden Secret specialized in void-ification. The four-diagrams absolute art created by Monarch Nine Cloud was also an inheritance that led to the pinnacle of void-ification. He had even studied the scaled-armor left behind by General Mo Gu. All these were done to grasp the 'pinnacle of void-ification' at the Primal Chaos Realm. Even though he had not achieved it currently, his realm in this aspect was profound. By using the Southern Cloud Sacred Body to utilize the void-ification technique, it had reached a level not any worse than what this Void Dragon Insect could do.

'But my direction is to directly fuse with the essence of the void as one.' Xue Ying thought, 'Never have I thought of controlling the essence of the void.'

'Activating it? Controlling it?'

As Xue Ying pondered, he began his study in a new direction.

He sought to study different ways of thinking in the Dao of Void. After all, all these different routes would eventually lead back to the same destination. His goal was not just to become a Cosmos God. Instead, Xue Ying sought to kill the Sacred Master in the future. Not just for the sake of avenging his teacher, or for the purpose of many cultivators who had been harmed by him in the Primal Chaos Void. Of course, another reason was that he had almost died in the hands of the Sacred Master if he did not own the 'Realm Heart Order' in the past.

The ambition of the Sacred Master was to control all beings, and that was something all cultivators seeking transcension could not tolerate.

With both life and death out of their control, the Sacred Master could give an order, and these cultivators would kill their good friends and relatives as cold-blooded murderers. Xue Ying felt that this way of living was not any better than dying.

For the sake of himself and all cultivators who had been harmed.

Many sought to kill the Sacred Master, yet it's a pity that the Sacred Master remained the strongest expert in the Primal Chaos Void.

'I came to the Realm Heart Great Land to find opportunities to improve my personal strength.' Xue Ying thought. He no longer thought of it anymore. The Sacred Master was too powerful, and he was still quite far away from reaching that.

As he researched the corpse of the Void Dragon Insect, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. The side from the Sky Sword Sect remained extremely patient. Most cultivators were extremely patient. They had even assigned five tenth level Primal Chaos experts especially to deal against Xue Ying. Naturally, they were patient! They sought to eliminate Xue Ying in one fell swoop to let the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion feel 'pain'.

Even though Xue Ying could still retrain himself with his avatar after dying, he had to spend quite a lot of treasures to reach the grand perfection of Southern Cloud Sacred Body! Also, the 'Scarlet Cloud God Spear' was extremely precious. The moment he died, it would be stolen.

These would naturally suffice in bringing 'pain' to the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and also Xue Ying.

"Mn?" After researching for half a month, Xue Ying gained much knowledge.

"Not enough. Just a single Void Dragon Insect isn't enough."

Xue Ying could feel his understanding of the essence of void improving. He immediately sent an order through the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion via the shop owned by the 'Fan Clan' in the Fiery Zhao Nation Capital.

"I require all insects of the 'void lineage'. Other than the 'Void Dragon Insect', I need the other 38 insect corpses. I only need one of each, and they must be corpses that have reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm." Xue Ying ordered.

Fan Clan.

Being a clan with foundations deeper than the Moonflower Ancient Nation and Towering Sky Ancient Nation, there were many factions within. Some might help the Sky Sword Sect while squeezing benefits from them. At the same time, they also befriended the Southern Cloud King. There were also many 'assassins', and a large number of businessmen. Hence, even though it was possible for one to become enemies with an expert from the Fan Clan, it was entirely possible to befriend other experts in the Fan Clan too.

After all, once the woods grew to a certain size, all kinds of 'birds' existed within.

This woods belonging to the Fan Clan was tremendous! There were too many experts and factions, so much more than the experts in the entire Black Devil Great Lake. If not for the particular environment of the Black Devil Great Lake that the three religious masters depended on, their situation would be much more aggravated!

"Brother Xue Ying, I've just inquired about the insect corpses. The Fan Clan shop in the Fiery Zhao Capital doesn't have a single insect corpse with the void lineage at the Primal Chaos Realm. Because there is low demand here, we have to transfer from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. It'll take half a day for them to be sent over. It'll cost a total of 130 million cosmos crystals." Marquis Qu Ming transmitted over.

"Alright." Xue Ying nodded.

Insect corpses were commonly traded.

After all, the most commonly seen method of nurturing insects would be to allow it to devour other insect corpses! Hence, this trade was made quite frequently.

Living poisonous insects at the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm were expensive. Dead ones were cheaper. But a total of 38 kinds, with one of each, would require 130 million cosmos crystals. Thinking along this line of thought, those cultivating the Dao of Insect were destined to spend a large number of resources.

Just half a day later.

"Brother Xue Ying."

Marquis Qu Ming brought a manager from the Fan Clan located in the Fiery Zhao Capital over. He came just to deliver the goods.

"Sir Xue Ying." This manager passed over a light green bottle enthusiastically.

Xue Ying took over the bottle. After opening the stopper, he was able to sense 38 different kinds of insect corpses within. All of them had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. Of course, Xue Ying did not doubt the reputation of a shop owned by the Fan Clan.

Chapter 1055: Closed-Door Cultivation

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The Fan Clan ranked in the top three amongst commerce groups selling treasures across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Being a commerce group, their reputation was core.

"Sir Xue Ying, if you have any orders, you can simply tell me. There are all sorts of unique treasures in the Realm Heart Great Land, and those that my Fan Clan doesn't have is few and far between." That manager enthusiastically mentioned.

"Mn."

Xue Ying acknowledged before throwing over an ordinary-looking storage wristband. A total of 130 million cosmos crystals was placed within.

"Marquis Qu Ming, many thanks for your help this time. I will be continuing my closed-door cultivation. If there are no important matters, do not disturb me." Xue Ying gave an order before immediately rushing back to resume his cultivation.

"Hong long long", the hall doors were shut closed.

Xue Ying sat cross-legged by himself. He opened the light green bottle. Many insect corpses of the void lineage flew out. All of them had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. They were of different appearances–some were as big as a huge mountain, and some were small. Xue Ying controlled the void. Even though the space within the palace hall was not too big, Xue Ying was able to control the void to open a small space that enabled the enormous insect corpse to be placed within.

'These beings are all really mysterious. The Dao of Insect back at my hometown is much weaker.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

In the Primal Chaos Void, not a single cultivator had reached the Cosmos God Realm in the Dao of Insect!

And in the Realm Heart Great Land, that Devouring Realm Great Emperor had reached an unparalleled level across the entire Realm Heart Great Land in the Dao of Insect. He was comparable with Ancestor Fan and the others. Nevertheless, he fell in the end! Quite a few cultivators who were thought as unparalleled had actually fallen in the history of Realm Heart Great Land. Many more existences at the level of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master had fallen. This was inevitable. This Origin World contained too many cultivators, and each had their own unique methods. In a fierce war between those at the apex level, it was inevitable for many unparalleled existences to fall.

"Mn?"

Xue Ying carefully studied them.

Including the Void Dragon Insect, there were 39 species of insects. These were all species of void lineage insects that existed in the history of Realm Heart Great Land, and all had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. Every species had been created only after many failures; they were the crystallization of the predecessors' wisdom.

'Truly mysterious. Every one of them is mysterious.' Xue Ying became more engrossed the more he studied the corpses. For the insects to reach the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, every one of them had their own point of specialties.

A total of 25 kinds of insects were able to control the essence of the void, the black fog spherical particles.

And a total of 37 species specialized in void-ification.

No other way. Being insects of the void lineage, it was practically innate in them to specialize in void-ification.

'There are actually so many ways to achieve void-ification?'

Xue Ying's eyes were lit up.

It was almost impossible for him to think of so many directions even after burying his head into cultivation for a trillion years. And studying these insect corpses in front of him gave him enlightenment. Without 'references', it was very hard to come out with the idea itself.

During this period, Xue Ying entered the zone of cultivation.

It was a painful thing when meeting a bottleneck during cultivation. No matter how much the cultivator tried to ponder, he would not gain anything. And comparing that to the feeling of being enlightened and ideas pouring in continuously with the cultivators understanding new concepts every moment, the latter felt extremely good. The cultivator could feel himself improving continually, and Xue Ying's understanding of the void was becoming more profound over time. He did not find it lethargic even if he cultivated for a more extended period.

Every corpse of the insect with a void lineage represented a different school of thought.

Xue Ying's understanding of the final Origin Phase from the 'Five Supportive Sealing Technique' was also gradually deepening.

His understanding of void-ification was also becoming more profound.

"What, why is he in closed-door cultivation for so long?"

"Why isn't he coming out at all?"

"Force him out!"

Even though the experts sent over by the Sky Sword Sect were extremely patient–given their strength, they would enter closed-door cultivation for billions of years–but this was the crucial moment in the war between the Sky Sword Sect and Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. At this moment, that 'Xue Ying' actually entered closed-door cultivation for several tens of thousands of years.

He was too daring! Did he not think that the Sky Sword Sect would not move?

During the 90,000th year that Xue Ying was in closed-door cultivation, a sharp talon appeared out of nowhere amidst the dark pouring rain. It directly tore through the arrays protecting the outer walls of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace in Fiery Zhao Capital, snatching away that piece of art which had been hanging by the wall forever! But the sacred palace was nonetheless more significant than the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace in Ardent Fire City, and the arrays protecting it was stronger. One had to be a Cosmos God to destroy the arrays.

Clearly, the one who acted was a Cosmos God.

What a pity that Xue Ying remained in closed-door cultivation.

Gradually, the Sky Sword Sect began challenging the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, increasing the frequency of skirmishes with the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

But because they were fearful of Xue Ying, the provocation by Sky Sword Sect wasn't extensive either. The truly formidable experts were not willing to act because they weren't confident of dealing against 'Xue Ying' one-on-one! It sufficed for them to provoke 'Xue Ying' to appear. By then, they could kill him in one fell swoop!

According to the orders given by Xue Ying, Marquis Qu Ming did not disturb him either if there were no crucial matters.

Hence, Xue Ying's closed-door cultivation happened really peacefully.

'After entering closed-door cultivation for over 300,000 years, even though I haven't grasped the 'Origin Phase', I am reaching grand perfection in the pinnacle of void-ification.' Xue Ying held onto the light green bottle. The corpses of the insects with the void lineage all flew into the bottle. Following that, Xue Ying corked the bottle before keeping it. He then stood up and walk out.

"Hong long long~"

The door opened.

Xue Ying came out. He stood within the courtyard looking out into the sky. It was night. This Realm Heart Great Land was very different from the Primal Chaos Void. There was no sun and moonlight here. At night, only the nation protecting arrays of Fiery Zhao Capital were releasing light, barely lighting up the place.

'Pinnacle of void-ification?' Xue Ying sighed.

These void insects gave him great inspirations regarding void-ification. He had improved dramatically in this aspect, reaching an unfathomable stage in it. Xue Ying estimated that he should likely be comparable to his teacher Gu Qi in this area already. He only lacked the final bit before achieving his goal.

As for his control of the void-ification, Xue Ying felt he had surpassed that of all the void insects.

'Right now, I only needed a minor comprehension that would allow me to break the final obstacle…' Xue Ying's mind went back to the scaled-armor of General Mo Gu. Because only the mysterious inscriptions on that scaled-armor were of the Primal Chaos Realm and had reached pure grand perfection! It was concise and filled with an odd sense of completeness. Those inscriptions were even more concise than the void-ification technique Monarch Nine Cloud and Void Primogenitor had.

Even though the void insects had their own unique points, none had reached the pinnacle of void-ification. Instead, they were used as a reference for Xue Ying to think in different directions.

'I lack just the final bit.'

Xue Ying bitterly pondered for a moment before throwing it to the back of his mind.

'Origin Phase?'

Xue Ying felt helpless.

The pinnacle of void-ification was truly difficult! Even Southern Cloud King and Monarch Nine Cloud had not created a cultivation technique that would allow them to genuinely grasp the pinnacle of void-ification at Primal Chaos Realm. Of course, they did not have opportunities that Xue Ying had either–to study the scaled-armor of General Mo Gu. Void Primogenitor might be able to succeed in this after given sufficient time, but it's a pity Xue Ying could not go back temporarily.

But the 'Origin Phase' was comparatively more straightforward.

He only needed to reach small success in it! He did not have to achieve large success or grand perfection!

'I've researched too many void insects already, and have pondered over many directions too. This has instead messed up my heart. I only needed to reach small success ultimately.' Xue Ying thought, 'I must stay calm and choose the direction which I am the most confident of. By then, I should be able to achieve it.'

"Brother Xue Ying."

Marquis Qu Ming rushed over. He sensed it at the first moment when Xue Ying's palace door opened.

"Marquis Qu Ming, I'll go out and have a walk." Xue Ying said, "To have a stroll."

"Be careful. It is still fine within the sacred palace, but who knows if the Sky Sword Sect might deal against you in the dark." Marquis Qu Ming reminded him.

"Relax."

Xue Ying smiled. He was clearly not worried at all.

After all, Xue Ying looked forward to a battle in his heart. It would at least give him sufficient pressure that might just be the straw that would allow him to break through!

As Xue Ying stealthily left the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace and walked on the streets of Fiery Zhao Capital in the dark, even though it was night, many shops were still opened along the streets. The restaurants remained as crowded as ever. After all, to cultivators, there was no difference between night and day.

And there were already scouts assigned in the surroundings by the Sky Sword Sect.

"We discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying."

"Ying Shan Xue Ying has appeared."

"He has left the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace by himself."

Many pieces of information were reported upwards at that instance.

Chapter 1056: Flood of Attacks

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Sky Sword Sect Palace, in one of the halls.

There were seven figures gathered here.

Seated at the throne position was naturally the chief manager in charge of the sect's advance to the Black Devil Four Nations, 'Thunder King' Mo Chao. Mo Chao sat there in his violet robe. He was facing the crowd with a smile.

The surrounding experts were all at the tenth level strength. Their origins were extraordinary.

The three from the left came from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation. Other than the mysterious black-robed expert whose robe was filled entirely with poisonous insects, the other two were similarly exceptional. One was a teen with a resplendent red hair. A wisp of flame could be seen rising from his forehead. As long as the other party was someone with experience, they could determine that this was a core disciple from one of the two most mysterious clans in Myriad Realms Ancient Nation, the 'Blaze Clan'. Only those with a sufficiently pure bloodline could display latent God Flames.

The final expert was a short-haired male wearing a black cape.

On the other side.

There was that crimson-skinned twisted-horned male and two other experts from the Sky Sword Sect.

"Your Highness Blaze Wind, we'll have to depend on you this time. If you could not suppress that Ying Shan Xue Ying, it is unlikely for us to kill him in a short period." Thunder King Mo Chao said, "Once the battle drags on, the Southern Cloud King would have time to arrive and provide aid."

"Rest assured."

The resplendent red-haired teen nonchalantly replied, "The Southern Cloud King will have to first obtain the news before traveling over through a large distance. By then, we should have battled for several bouts, and would have eliminated that Ying Shan Xue Ying."

Reaching their level, the speed of their battles was quick. A blink of an eye was sufficient for them to send several bouts of attack.

"Furthermore, we even have Rain Dust Walker with us." The resplendent red-haired male turned to the other short-haired male with a black cape.

That short-haired male smiled:" Your Highness has overpraised me."

"There is also one of the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods from the Fan, General 'Fan Chu Hu' around. With both Rain Dust Walker and Fan Chu Hu working together, we will naturally ensure no unforeseen circumstances are left untouched." The red-haired male answered.

"Haha…" The crimson-skinned twisted-horned male who was currently munching on metal and stone guffawed, "Your Highness Blaze Wind, you have flattered me."

Fan Chu Hu.

In the past, 'Sky-Rending Great Paragon' from the Fan Clan had a total of 99 ultra experts. They were cultivators whom the Sky-Rending Great Paragon gave special opportunities to. These experts would each receive a piece of rare and unique core stone left behind after the death of a 'Scarlet Demon Nine-Dreams Beast'. These core stones were used to alter all 99 experts, allowing them all to achieve the tenth level strength! These 99 experts were also called the 'Hundred-Battle Devil God'. During the later period of the first War of the Ancient Nations, they had contributed significantly. All of them had tyrannical bodies and had endless strength. Nevertheless, over the long years, only 30 or so of these Hundred-Battle Devil Gods were alive.

"General Chu Hu, in a while, we will be teaming up together." That short-haired male with black cape smiled.

"Haha, I'll have to depend on Rain Dust Walker too. All I can do is exert my crude strength." Fan Chu Hu was polite.

The three of them continued chatting.

Nevertheless, they did not care too much about the other two great experts who were moving with them this time.

Because there were differing levels between the tenth level experts. If one grasped a powerful secret cultivation technique or some terrifying secret treasure, one might even fight with three to four other tenth level experts. For instance, Xue Ying grasped both the extremely powerful Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique and Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles. He even had a Scarlet Cloud God Spear. If Xue Ying were to fight with White Cloud Devil Master again, he would likely be able to suppress the other party. Even three to four of them would not be able to handle Xue Ying alone.

'Fan Chu Hu' who was one of the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods.

There was also the core disciple from the noble Blaze Clan, 'His Highness Blaze Wind'.

And a walker underneath one of the five ancestors, 'Drifter' from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation–Rain Dust Walker.

These three had massive origins.

Comparatively speaking, the two experts sent by the Sky Sword Sect had a much smaller origin.

"Hmph."

"The Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and Summer Wind Ancient Nation are all too haughty. They are looking down on us brothers." The two experts seated there, one wearing a watery-blue robe and the other a fiery-red robe, were talking to each other through voice transmissions. They did not say anything.

"Alright. Currently, Ying Shan Xue Ying is casually strolling on the street. Fellow cultivators can start the operation anytime." Thunder King Mo Chao chuckled. His eyes were filled with expectations, "I'll sit here waiting quietly for the good news from everyone."

"Mn."

The red-haired teen stood up, "Let's not delay any further. We will move out at this very moment."

"Alright." Rain Dust Walker and Fan Chu Hu both stood. Even the two experts from Sky Sword Sect stood up as well.

"Go."

"Hu,"

They disappeared soundlessly from the place.

On the street, Xue Ying was currently strolling leisurely. The surrounding air was fresh. As he walked, he would observe the bustling scenes of some shops to the distance, and the occasional luxurious carriages that flew past the sky. Xue Ying felt his mood becoming calmer, and the jarred bits of understanding he had regarding the 'Origin Phase' of the Five Phases Sealing Technique were now being aligned.

"Hua."

There was no sound or signs.

Xue Ying only felt the street becoming much quieter. The sound that was transmitted over from a distance became deeper and slower, and his own movement was clearly retarded.

'Not good.' How could Xue Ying not know that he had been inflicted by some unknown move?

And to the distance, that resplendent red-haired teen stood there pointing out in the direction of Xue Ying. The ripples of time had engulfed Xue Ying, and this 'Highness Blaze Wind' merely gave a cold chuckle: "Controlling the time is the innate talent which I awakened. I have even cultivated the Scripture of the Past from the Third Realm Technique. You want to struggle out of my Time Domain? Hmph hmph, I am afraid you are still lacking."

"Kill."

"Just die."

At this moment, a watery-blue-robed expert and a fiery-red-robed expert acted at the same time. Everything was moving according to their plan–it was extremely smooth.

"Break, break, break!"

Xue Ying understood that he had fallen into the Time Domain of the enemy. The current flow of time where he was at, is currently under the control of someone else.

In reality, the stronger the cultivator, the harder it would be to control the flow of time around him! Like in the Great Void Heaven Temple, accelerating time for a Primal Chaos Expert would cost a hefty price. That was even a price incurred when using it in a powerful secret treasure meant for controlling time! Otherwise, the difficulty of controlling the flow of time in an external region, especially when Xue Ying was deliberately resisting against it, was even more difficult.

"Hong long long~" Many circular void maelstroms were generated on the surface of Xue Ying's body. This maelstrom contained three rotating void stairways that revolved around Xue Ying. This was none other than the protective technique from one of the five great methods of the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique.

"Break."

Holding on to the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, Xue Ying was stirring up the surrounding void, causing booming sounds to emit. He did not even have sufficient time to utilize the 'Arch Destruction' technique when the enemies arrived.

Because the time where he was at was flowing too slow, causing his motion to become sluggish. Nevertheless, it was possible for him to release his protective technique and domain with a single thought, and these were barely released in time.

"Hua."

A dark blue fog suddenly invaded his body. It came too fast and too cold–Xue Ying felt his entire body freezing.

At the same time, many surging fiery-red particles also permeated into his body. It was so hot that Xue Ying's body started melting.

These two attacks came too quickly. Furthermore, after being engulfed entirely by the Time Domain, Xue Ying was forced to withstand these two moves.

One extreme cold and the other extreme hot.

These were both tenth level techniques.

"Ge ge ge…" The left side of Xue Ying's body was incomparably cold. It seemed as if all particles were about to stop moving. Under this coldness, everything was slowing down to a stop.

"Chi chi chi…" To the right of his body, it was too hot, and Xue Ying felt his body about to melt. Following that, this horrifying blaze and the extreme cold on the other side of his body met.

"Weng."

"What an amazing fellow. He still isn't dead after suffering from these two techniques?" It was not only His Highness Blaze Wind who controlled the Time Domain, or other experts. Even the black-robed expert who was walking the battle from a distance and Thunder King Mo Chao felt startled as they watched. Two tenth level techniques, one extreme cold and one extreme hot, would incur horrifying damage to the body when the other party could not retaliate. It was ten times more frightening than just withstanding a pure cold or pure hot technique. Even the Southern Cloud Sacred Body trained to grand perfection should have exploded from this.

But Xue Ying withstood it!

"Cold, hot."

His body was suffering from the brunt of two opposing stimulation. Even though Xue Ying felt pain, his body still survived.

"Break."

He could still forcibly control his body and pierce out the spear onto the void.

"Hong–"

Arch Destruction!

At that time, many tiny cracks appeared, causing the mysterious aura to form. The entire Time Domain trembled momentarily, though it remained stable.

"General Chu Hu." That short-haired male with black cape smiled and said.

"Rain Dust Walker." Fan Chu Hu was calm too. He experienced many assassinations ever since the first War of the Ancient Nation. This context was merely 'playing' for him.

"Hong, hong."

The two of them acted simultaneously.

A dark green great hammer appeared in the hands of the short-haired male with a black cape. The hammer was flung downwards soundlessly. Wherever the hammer crossed did not produce any fluctuations or wind. Even the dust remained still. This great hammer smashed down towards Xue Ying just like this.

And Fan Chu Hu merely extended his hand. His palm expanded. This large scarlet bronze hand of his went slapping down towards Xue Ying. "Hong long long", the void started cracking, and waves were set off from this. This power was much more violent and brutal than any of the previous techniques. Even ordinary Cosmos Gods could not unleash such a horrifying palm. The tyranny of the Hundred-Battle Devil God was earned through slaughters.

These two famous existences had each unleashed a huge killing move at the same time.

One was quiet, and the other a world-shaking move. Both came down at the same time.

Chapter 1057: His Teacher intervenes

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Not good."

When Xue Ying faced the seemingly ordinary great hammer and the world-shaking scarlet palm, he could not help but feel his heart tightening. Those two moves were screaming threat in his heart. Previously, even though he was affected by the 'Time Domain' first, and suffered from the two opposing water-fire tenth level combined technique, he did not feel any threat at all.

But at this moment, he felt it.

These were the actual assassins.

'It is the subordinate one of one of the five ancestors, 'Drifter', from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation, Rain Dust Walker, and the other is one of the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods, Fan Chu Hu?' Xue Ying could recognize the opponents. He even transmitted a call of help to his teacher: "Teacher, I am being assassinated."

The surrounding space spanning across hundreds of millions of kilometers had already been isolated the moment the Time Domain came. Just like the battle that happened during the Blood Sacrifice in Ardent Fire City, the devils also completely isolated the entire place. These treasures that could seal off space were costly, and ordinary Cosmos Gods could not afford them. It was temporarily bestowed by the 'Sky Sword King' for this operation.

It was clear the assassins wanted to block off Xue Ying from escaping using the 'Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique'.

Of course, Xue Ying left behind an avatar in the capital, and he would not die!

"Hong long long~"

The two horrifying moves came down at the same time. Even though Xue Ying wanted to defend himself using his spear techniques, his motion was affected by the decelerated flow of time; his movement was too slow. That great hammer easily evaded Xue Ying's spear and penetrated through the three void maelstrom stairways rotating by Xue Ying's body before smashing on his body. The Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique's 'defensive technique' was continually suffering from the brunt of the fire-water killing moves, and was thus much weaker now.

Only about 30-40% of the total force coming from this seemingly ordinary hammer had been dissipated away before it smashed on Xue Ying's body.

"Mn?" Rain Dust Walker felt that he was smashing onto the void, "Void-ification?"

"Peng."

Almost at the same time.

The large scarlet-bronze palm slapped down, causing the defensive maelstrom stairways to dissipate. The spear in Xue Ying's hand was smashed away by the palm, deflecting it onto Xue Ying's own body. Closely following that, a large palm came and let out a sound of boom…

The great hammer of Rain Dust Walker was as light as a feather, yet it brought upon a tremendous force that rushed into the body of Xue Ying and into his soul! Xue Ying's body that was initially suffering much from the water-fire attack was then smashed once again by the dominating scarlet-bronze palm! Being a Hundred-Battle Devil God, 'Fan Chu Hu' was classified as an ultra expert who had his body altered, and wasn't someone who relied on cultivation to reach where he was.

Hence, he was considered somewhat similar to a magic servant. Of course, he was still a cultivator and did not have to follow the orders of a master.

But his move was crude; it was only at the realm of eighth to ninth level standard. But it was extremely horrifying in its strength and speed, that they exceeded what ordinary Cosmos Gods could exert. In addition to that body of his, he was someone that specialized most in charging during battles.

"Weng."

After suffering from many assaults, Xue Ying felt his mind ringing.

"What! He did not die?"

"How could this be?"

His Highness Blaze Wind, Rain Dust Walker, Fan Chu Hu, the two water-fire emissaries, and those watching the battle in the dark–the black-robed expert and Thunder King Mo Chao were all incredibly shocked.

In their plan, they ascertained that this was a joint attack that should suffice in wiping out Xue Ying.

Under the Time Domain, Xue Ying's speed would be reduced to a crawl, and he could practically not retaliate at all. He could only suffer from the full brunt of the move.

The water-fire joint attack was a combination of two tenth level moves. They were also drastically opposite, causing the resulting power when fused to surge. They had even guessed that Xue Ying would die shortly after suffering from this.

Nevertheless, the combined attacks by the Hundred-Battle Devil God, 'Fan Chu Hu' and Rain Dust Walker were more formidable. The two of them were famous for directly suppressing their opponents. From how they saw it, even if Xue Ying did not die previously, his body would be weak after suffering from damages. Hence, with their world-suppressing moves, Xue Ying would undoubtedly die.

"Hong long long~"

The street had already been affected by the battle that deep and huge gouges formed. There was currently a figure with his back bents standing within that gouge. He looked up–Xue Ying's eyes were presently filled with fury.

"Damn."

Xue Ying felt both indignant and sullen.

It had been a long time since he felt so sullen. He was someone powerful, yet under the Time Domain, his speed was influenced so much that he could not defend himself from the enemies' attacks.

The force kept rippling and reverberating in his body.

"Pu." Xue Ying was forced to spurt out fresh blood. There were many injuries left on his body too.

Having the defending technique from Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique and the tenth level grand perfection Southern Cloud Sacred Body, it was likely that Xue Ying would lose his life under his joint attack. Fortunately, he had deduced the void-ification to an unfathomable level, transcending beyond all the void lineage insects had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. Xue Ying could even be comparable with his teacher Gu Qi already. Currently, he only lacked by just that final bit before reaching the true pinnacle in his void-ification.

With this capability of void-ification, Xue Ying could dissipate off the majority of the incoming force. Nevertheless, he was still injured in the end.

"Kill."

"Continuing killing. He is already heavily injured."

"Quickly!"

All of them might be shocked at the failure of their joint attack, but they understood how precious time was.

"Hong~"

"Die!"

His Highness Blaze Wind continued operating the Time Domain. The water-fire envoys were also keeping their combined attacks. As for Fan Chu Hu and Rain Dust Walker, they felt humiliation from the failure and were utterly furious now.

"Sky Rending Claws!" Fan Chu Hu roared. His two palms had turned into the shape of claws and had torn apart the world. This was a set of ruthless claw technique that was created by his master, the 'Sky-Rending Great Paragon', just for them, the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods.

"Dust returns to dust, dirt returns to dirt. Extinguish." Rain Dust Walker was feeling furious. Being a cultivator under the sect of Drifter, he was proud too.

He sent his hammer out.

"Weng–"

It arced through the void, producing a unique flute-like sound from the movement of the wind. There was some charm in this sound that would cause others to sleep, one that was eternal.

"Hong long long~"

The five great experts continued sending out their attacks. It continued for three rounds.

"It seems the aura on his body is still strong–it hasn't been weakened severely. At least half his lifeforce remains. We do not have sufficient time. Hurry up and leave." His Highness Blaze Wind who had been controlling the Time Domain all this while shouted out.

"Go.""Go.""Go."

All of them might feel unwilling, though they did not hesitate.

"Sou sou sou."

All of them disappeared from the place.

They were clear that the Southern Cloud King would definitely intervene and save his disciple when his disciple was in grave danger even though the king had a great status. The king could simply 'wave' his hand at the five of them, and they would be doomed. Under that circumstance, it would not be considered the 'strong bullying the weak'. It was merely the king venting his anger.

And if they succeeded in escaping, and if the Southern Cloud King continued pursuing them, it would be too disgraceful.

The real apex cultivators in the Realm Heart Great Land were also bound by some unspoken rules. After all, every organization had an ultra-strong expert in it. For instance, the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and Summer Wind Ancient Nation were much stronger than what the Southern Cloud King could exert! This was also because the various powers had apprehension over this, causing the unspoken rules to arise. If they were really bullying a small organization, it was fine to just sweep them away. How would they be qualified to talk to the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and other similar organizations about the 'unspoken rules'?

Those who were qualified to talk about these rules were already proud sons of heaven.

Naturally, the Southern Cloud King had to obey these rules too.

"Hong~"

The shockwave from the battle blasted in all directions.

Many strands of light descended from the sky. This was light from the operating nation protecting arrays which the Fiery Zhao Capital had. They were able to withstand against those shockwaves.

"Cough, cough." Xue Ying spat out more blood again. He flew out from the deep gouge and floated in midair while looking at his surroundings. The shockwave from the battle did not affect a considerable area. But it was still inevitable for several residences belonging to some cultivators to be destroyed.

"They dare to act in the capital without planning to hide their aura at all?" Xue Ying felt himself turning more furious as he saw what had happened.

He felt really sullen this time.

From the start to end, Xue Ying could not retaliate at all. Of course, everything happened too quickly too. Each of the assassins was a tenth level expert, and they only released three moves in total. How fast was that? Furthermore, Xue Ying was trapped in a Time Domain, making his reaction even slower.

"Xue Ying, you should return and take a rest first. This time, the Sky Sword Sect actually dispatched so many experts to deal against you. Very good. If I did not retaliate, I would be looked down upon." The voice of Southern Cloud King sounded by the ears of Xue Ying at that moment–his voice was filled with rage.

"Teacher, I'll naturally find them after a few days." Xue Ying added.

"This you don't have to care anymore. Just have a good rest." Southern Cloud King was naturally prepared to handle things himself since he was able to position himself amongst the peak across the Realm Heart Great Land.

Just as the other party finished speaking, Xue Ying could feel an unseen aura leaving.

'It seems teacher is going to act personally.' Xue Ying thought. Facing the matter of the Sky Sword Sect advancing into the Fiery Zhao Nation, Xue Ying had always been the one dealing with it. It had been several hundred thousand years, yet the Southern Cloud King remained nonchalant as he watched things progress. Nevertheless, the moment the King suffered from a loss, he would definitely retaliate! Clearly, he felt that just his disciple alone was insufficient from dealing against the entire Sky Sword Sect.

Chapter 1058: Say That Again?

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Fiery Zhao Capital, outside the main entrance of the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. Marquis Qu Ming and several other disciples were here waiting a while ago.

Because the battlefield had been completely isolated, the shockwave did not leak out to the surroundings. But when the enemies left, the shockwaves were released and had alarmed more than half the experts in the city.

"Senior Disciple Brother Xue Ying." The group of disciples was all being respectful.

Marquis Qu Ming was even looking at Xue Ying with concern.

"I'm fine."

Xue Ying said before entering the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. Watching the back of the leaving Xue Ying, Marquis Qu Ming and the others dared not say anything. They could feel that the current mood of this era genius 'Xue Ying' was not good.

Within the cultivation room, Xue Ying sat alone.

Even though the five great experts who assaulted Xue Ying were greatly startled from the fact that they did not kill Xue Ying, and felt that Xue Ying was too enduring, Xue Ying himself felt sullen. From the start to end, he was beaten. Xue Ying wanted to unleash an 'Arch Destruction' or a 'Piercing Void' at the enemy, yet he did not have the time due to being affected by the flow of time.

'With my strength, I was actually trapped in the Time Domain without being able to break out of it.' Xue Ying was greatly shocked. Most tenth level experts cultivating the Time Dao were not so heaven-defying, 'His Highness Blaze Wind is a core disciple from the 'Blaze Clan', one of the two great clans in the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation?'

Xue Ying could naturally recognize that resplendent red-haired teen. The strand of flame rising on his forehead was too eye-catching.

Core disciples from the Blaze Clan with sufficiently concentrated bloodline were able to awaken their heaven-defying talent. Accompanied by an appropriate absolute art scripture, they were naturally strong in combat.

As for those who could not awaken? They would not be core disciples.

The reason why they could have such heaven-defying innate talent was because of the Patriarch from the Blaze Clan. He was one of the five ancestors in Myriad Realms Ancient Nation who refined his body to an unparalleled realm.

'Hundred-Battle Devil God? Rain Dust Walker?"

Only then did Xue Ying feel the threat of death.

Every round of attack diminished close to 10% of his body lifeforce. An estimated 12 rounds of attack would suffice to cause his death! The other two who specialized in water and fire seemed weakest, but their combination had instead reduced the strength of Xue Ying's Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Just like how a weapon would become weak when being inflicted with both water and fire simultaneously, the logic here was similar–his body would collapse more quickly.

Even though he did not lose any lifeforce from the water-fire joint attack, his body became weaker, allowing the effects of the attacks by Hundred-Battle Devil God and Rain Dust Walker to be better.

Every attack gave him the 'smell' of death. It also forced him to do his best to 'void-ify', diverting more force into the void. If Xue Ying had reached the pinnacle of void-ification, his body would be one with the void, and these attacks could not injure him at all.

'I just lack by a bit before becoming one with the void?'

Xue Ying began concentrating.

His teacher Southern Cloud King moved really quickly. On the second day after Xue Ying suffered from an assassination, a group of expert had killed their way into the Sky Sword Sect Palace.

As His Highness Blaze Wind, Rain Dust Walker and the others were clear that they might suffer from retaliation, they had all hidden within the Sky Sword Sect Palace! If not for the superpowers behind them ordering for them to aid the Sky Sword Sect, they would have long fled.

"What is the outcome?" Xue Ying even came out especially to ask this.

"They battled really fiercely. It has alarmed the entire capital. The royal family and those devils from the Black Devil Great Lake were all watching from afar. After the battle, more than half the Sky Sword Sect Palace has been destroyed." Marquis Qu Ming said.

Xue Ying felt slightly shocked.

Since the Sky Sword Sect dared to advance into the Fiery Zhao Nation, the arrays constructed in this sacred palace of theirs in the capital should be extremely formidable–likely on the same level with the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. Ordinary tenth level experts could not break through it, yet more than half the entire palace had been destroyed. It was unquestionable that the arrays were damaged. Otherwise, the palace would be standing upright still.

'The experts dispatched by Teacher are really amazing for them to destroy the array of the palace.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly. He understood that after knowing the strength from the Sky Sword Sect, the experts the Southern Cloud King sent would likely be stronger than the five experts. Otherwise, the King would be slapping his face by sending these experts over.

Even though the hidden powers were strong.

The Southern Cloud King himself also had some hidden powers. He could also 'borrow soldiers' from others. It's only that these were experts not from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and they could not publicize their identities. Furthermore, some defeated the Sky Sword Sect using techniques not from the religion. Hence, this could not prove that the cultivation techniques of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion were superior! Instead, this was merely a fight in the dark between the two great religions.

On the surface, they still required disciples like Thunder King Mo Chao, Gong Liang Yi, and Xue Ying to fight.

After he slightly understood the outcome of that battle, Xue Ying went back to closed-door cultivation.

Xue Ying's understanding of the essence of the void became more profound over time. He lacked by a strand before reaching the pinnacle of 'void-ification'. But this strand was not any less difficult than breaking through to the Cosmos God Realm! Xue Ying had not taken this step yet. He had no choice. It was too hard to achieve 'void-ification' at the Primal Chaos Realm. Fortunately, he had seen before the scaled-armor of General Mo Gu. Otherwise, achieving this step at the Primal Chaos Realm was just a pipe dream since Xue Ying had no point of reference.

After all, there were only two great cultivation techniques in the Realm Heart Great Land that could allow a Primal Chaos expert to achieve the pinnacle of void-ification.

One was with the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

And the other with the Summer Wind Ancient Nation.

The other ancient nations including those who had reached an extremely high realm in the void aspect like Southern Cloud King could not create such a cultivation technique at all.

Even though Xue Ying could not improve further in void-ification, he had met quite a huge improvement in his 'Five Phases Sealing Technique'.

After all, he merely had to reach small success.

Three months after suffering from the assassination.

"Origin Phase."

Xue Ying looked at the void in front of him. He lightly brushed his hand on the void, causing many black fog spherical particles to move according to his control–they actually started moving. Everything was done according to Xue Ying's wishes. One of the many layers of 'black cloth' actually formed into a large sphere, before turning into a substantial corporeal entity.

"I've finally reached this stage." Xue Ying revealed a grin. The black fog spherical bodies were ultimately too small. Interacting with them was tough. Even by relying on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body, Xue Ying could only destroy several black fog spherical particles after using the 'Arch Destruction'. How hard was it to control them? He had to rely on the Profound Mysteries of Void to 'guide' them. Once he succeeded in this guiding technique, it would mean small success in the 'Origin Phase'. This was already a ninth level move.

It had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm without relying on any external materials.

"Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Xue Ying thought.

Five strands of light appeared directly above the sky. They represented control towards five types of the void. One of the light strands was an incomparably massive black primal chaos, and one was incorporeal and seemed fleeting. One was surging and galloping like a tsunami in the void, and one would sometimes be pulled into a threat, and at times transformed into a fog. The final strand of light just gave off a dim glow.

"Five Phases Sealing Technique!" Xue Ying revealed a joyous look, "If I had succeeded in grasping this, how would I be afraid of his Time Domain?"

The Time Domain would suffer from a greater backlash when a more powerful cultivator was trapped within.

Five Phases Sealing Technique

This was the strongest void absolute art that the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had, and also the most overbearing one. If Xue Ying had the 'Five Phases Beads', he could unleash five tenth level techniques at the same time. They could be fused together to form the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique' that had unfathomable power.

"Teacher." Xue Ying immediately contacted the Southern Cloud King.

"What's the matter, Xue Ying?" Southern Cloud King asked.

"I've grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique." Xue Ying said.

"What? Say that again?"

Closely following that.

"Si la~"

A figure walked out of the cultivation room where Xue Ying was meditating at. It was Southern Cloud King garbed in a black robe.

'Black robe? This is Teacher's avatar?' Xue Ying guessed. Since Southern Cloud King could create the avatar technique, his mastery in it should be transcendental.

"You've grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique? Quickly! Show it to me!" Southern Cloud King urged.

"Yes, Teacher."

Xue Ying nodded. At that moment, five strands of light appeared above them. It covered almost the entire cultivation room.

Southern Cloud King looked up at the five strands of light. At that moment, his eyes were somehow filled with obsession. He muttered: "Five Phases Seal, Five Phases Seal, my disciple has actually grasped it at the Primal Chaos Realm?"

He knew his disciple wasn't someone to lie. But after hearing the voice transmission coming from Xue Ying, he could not help but think if he might have misheard it.

Because the Five Phases Sealing Technique was the strongest combat secret impartation technique he had in the void lineage. This secret impartation technique was owned by four out of the six great ancient nations. In those ancient nations, there were many secret impartation techniques, so they did not care much about this. Nevertheless, in the Southern Cloud Nation–ultimately still a tier two nation–the meaning of Five Phases Sealing Technique was naturally different. Furthermore, this cultivation technique was extremely difficult to grasp.

"It is hard to reach the pinnacle of a single Dao path at the Primal Chaos Realm. To reach the pinnacle in five different Dao paths…" Southern Cloud King was currently feeling waves of emotions. He had only obtained the Five Phases Sealing Technique after reaching the peak. After that did he train it to grand perfection.

He questioned himself once and knew that it was unlikely for him to grasp it at the Primal Chaos Realm.

According to what he knew, there was once an absolute genius from the Towering Sky Ancient Nation that actually grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique at the Primal Chaos Realm. But that was just a single cultivator!

"Good, good!" Southern Cloud King looked at Xue Ying with praise.

"This is the Five Phase Beads." Southern Cloud King took out a bracelet. There were five black beads inlaid on the bracelet. Every bead was faintly emitting light and were all emanating different aura. The Southern Cloud King let out a sigh of sorrow, "Not long after I got the Five Phases Sealing Technique, I had refined this 'Five Phase Beads'. I always wanted to bestow this secret treasure away, yet I could only wait, and wait until today when the beads have finally found its owner."

The Five Phase Beads were floating in front of Xue Ying.

Xue Ying extended his head and took it.

He extended his senses.

"Weng."

Every bead contained a world inside. They correspond to one of the 'phases'.

After perceiving the mysterious inscriptions inherent within the Five Phase Beads, Xue Ying suddenly looked up with startlement: "Teacher, this, this…"

He originally thought that this should be a tenth level secret treasure. But shortly after extending his senses into it, he discovered that the profound mysteries in this 'Five Phase Beads' was beyond that at the tenth level. Its preciousness wasn't any lesser than the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, and might even be worth more! Because every bead of the Five Phase Beads was similar to a powerful secret treasure.

One had to know that ordinary tenth level secret treasures were worth between 500 million to a billion cosmos crystals.

Cosmos God graded secret treasures were usually priced from five to 10 billion cosmos crystals.

'Five Phase Beads'–every bead was a secret treasure itself. If this were a tenth level secret treasure, given that his teacher was the one refining it and only required materials to cover the cost, it would cost about two billion cosmos crystals.

But currently, Xue Ying discovered that the Five Phase Beads wasn't a tenth level graded treasure. Its value would likely be ten times more.

"Haha…" Southern Cloud King laughed, "I would never have thought that the first cultivator to succeed in grasping the Five Phases Sealing Technique is a disciple at the Primal Chaos Realm."

Xue Ying was enlightened.

To comprehend five Dao paths to the pinnacle, this should be something a Cosmos God could grasp more easily.

"But it is too precious!" Xue Ying could not help but blurt out.

"Hold on to it. You are my disciple." Southern Cloud King smiled, "The stronger you are, the powerful my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion is. Furthermore… you could reach this realm in five different Dao paths, which means that there is a great chance for you to break through to the Cosmos God Realm too."

Xue Ying nodded and received it.

"Also, since you grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique, The matter regarding Sky Sword Sect intruding into my Black Devil Four Nations will all be given to you to handle." Southern Cloud King laughed, "Just do what you think is right. There is me supporting you from behind."

"Yes, Teacher." Xue Ying nodded.

On the next day.

"Hou~"

The Magic Dragon that was covered entirely in black scales roared. It coiled itself above the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. And on top of this vast Magic Dragon stood a white-robed young man.

"Go, let us pay the Sky Sword Sect Palace a visit." Xue Ying said.

"Sou."

The Magic Dragon swam away and rapidly tunneled into the void.

Very soon.

In another location within the Fiery Zhao Capital near the Sky Sword Sect Palace, a vast coiling Magic Dragon tunneled out of the void. It floated in the sky. And that white-robed young man stood on top of the dragon looking down at the palace.

"They are still reconstructing?" Xue Ying looked downwards. The entire Sky Sword Sect Palace seemed utterly undamaged. But Xue Ying could see quite a few cultivators scattered across the place. They were currently carving array inscriptions on the area. One had to know that being a sacred palace in the capital, the arrays required that it had to withstand against tenth level experts. In terms of power, it was comparable to the 'Flying Snow City' which Xue Ying had.

The Flying Snow City took close to 100 million years to construct in the past primarily because of the array.

The Sky Sword Sect Palace itself was easy to construct. Given what Primal Chaos experts could not, they were able to easily finish building the entire palace in a single night. Only the array required a large number of materials and effort to inscribe!

"Who is that?"

"To dare to stand above the Sky Sword Sect Palace?"

"Do you know that Magic Dragon is worth more than a billion cosmos crystals? That white-robed young man should be the absolute genius from Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, 'Ying Shan Xue Ying'."

The moment Xue Ying appeared, he attracted the attention of many cultivators. Several carriages stopped in the distance just to watch the spectacle. Fortunately, these cultivators had excellent 'vision'.

"Hong~"

Xue Ying who stood on top of the back of the huge magic dragon seemed tiny. He looked downwards, and his voice reverberated around the world spanning more than 50 million kilometers: "I, Ying Shan Xue Ying, is here to challenge the experts from the Sky Sword Sect. During this period, I do hope for nobody to enter or exit the Sky Sword Sect Palace to prevent yourself from being implicated." As he spoke, a surging spatial ripple had already engulfed the entire outer perimeter of the Sky Sword Sect Palace.

The void tsunami blasted out. Most eighth level experts would simply be killed by this 'Scarlet Cloud Domain' if they entered it.

Saying it sounded good–'to prevent yourself from being implicated'.

But in reality, this was really a matter of a 'blockade'!

The underlying message was simple.

If you have the ability, defeat me. Otherwise, do not think of accepting or teaching any disciples. Under this horrifying void tsunami, there was nobody who dared to mix in! Xue Ying was really benevolent already. Unlike how Chang Su Wang and the others did–they did not unleash a domain before the blockade. Instead, they waited for disciples to enter the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion before directly killing them! It caused some of the ignorant outer disciples from Southern Cloud Sacred Palace to lose their lives.

"Wa."

"Its a blockade."

"Ying Shan Xue Ying has blockaded the entrance to Sky Sword Sect Palace. How overbearing."

"Quickly come and have a look!"

"Ying Shan Xue Ying sat on the Magic Dragon and came to blockade the entrance to the Sky Sword Sect Palace!" Many cultivators who stood far away were currently transmitting messages to their friends. "Hua hua hua", large batches of experts rushed over from all directions. Some disciples from the royal clans and aristocratic marquises had also rushed over on their luxurious carriages. They were all excitedly watching the spectacle.

Chang Su Wang blockaded the entrance merely to challenge the other religion. After all, that was a ninth level expert.

As for Xue Ying blockading the Sky Sword Sect! That was a clash between both parties.

It was bustling with activity outside. Many cultivators were here to see the spectacle. They wanted to see the clash between Sky Sword Sect and Southern Cloud Sacred Religion! After all, these were two of the top ten great religions in the entire Realm Heart Great Land, and they were both fighting for their sects in a direct battle. For the sake of their own reputation, each faction would definitely be sending out the most powerful experts. After all, if one were defeated, they would be losing their reputation including their sect's reputation.

"How dare he? How could he be so daring to do this?" The violet-robed 'Thunder King' Mo Chao looked up into the sky with fury, "So what if he has grasped the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique?"

"Hu hu hu."

Many other figures started appearing by the side. They were none other than His Highness Blaze Wind, Rain Dust Walker, the black-robed expert, the Hundred-Battle Devil God 'Fan Chu Hu', the water-fire envoys and others were all looking upwards.

"Fellow cultivators, what should we do?" Thunder King Mo Chao looked towards the side.

"Don't ask us." His Highness Blaze Wind shook his head and lightly chuckled, "We aren't disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. Since the others are challenging the experts from the Sky Sword Sect, it isn't good for us to act."

"We do not have any chance of moving out. I am an expert from the Fan Clan, so what if I acted?" Fan Chu Hu shook his head too.

"We can't either." The water-fire envoys shook their head too. They were subordinates of the Sky Sword King yet what they cultivated was not part of the Sky Sword Sect lineage.

The battle between sects.

A direct challenge was something the disciples had to take responsibility for. If outsiders barged in, the sect would only be mocked for lacking experts.

"His survival capabilities are powerful, and his body techniques are amazing too. I can't defeat him." Thunder King Mo Chao frowned. He was one of the two protectors Sky Sword Sect had. He was quite famous amongst tenth level experts and was an honorary disciple of an ancestor within the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation. But with his arrogance, he would either not act, or he would acquire victory when he fought.

The other party had grasped the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique and was someone who could make his presence untraceable–he was already at an invincible position. If Mo Chao went, he might not lose, but he would be teased, and it wouldn't look good in public.

"King." Mo Chao contacted the Sky Sword King.

"Since our sect is blockaded, then we can only face him in battle. You go. Even though you might not win, make sure you make it a spectacular battle. It is fine for you not to lose the face of the sect." Sky Sword King transmitted back.

"Yes."

Mo Chao understood.

He had no choice.

There were only so many tenth level disciples which the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion had on the surface including those outside the nation–about ten or so. This was the same as the

Sky Sword Sect. There were some who could fight with Xue Ying without losing out. But none could really defeat Xue Ying at all! The Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique was a secret cultivation technique of the Fan Clan. There was naturally reasons for this being the case.

The huge magic dragon coiled in midair. The surrounding void tsunami was rolling out. On the back of the magic dragon, the white-robed young man 'Xue Ying' looked down roaring out: "Unless there is nobody in the Sky Sword Sect who dares to meet my challenge?" His voice boomed across the world.

The entire sect became quiet.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying, you are too egotistical!" Finally, a roar was heard.

A violet-robed male flew up. He had a cold look on his face as he stood in midair. Mo Chao was currently facing against the white-robed young man.

"He is here!"

"They are about to fight!"

"It is Thunder King Mo Chao."

"Mo Chao is also one of the two great protectors of the Sky Sword Sect. He has once defeated the 'Stone Jade Devil King'. I've heard that he has even crossed the 'Ten Calamity Bridge' from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation and had obtained an enormous opportunity."

Various sides were discussing with each other.

For him to take on the role as the chief manager for Sky Sword Sect's advancement into the Black Devil Four Nations, Thunder King Mo Chao was indeed famous. Even His Highness Blaze Wind and others had to show him some respect.

"You are Mo Chao?" Xue Ying said.

"You actually dared to blockade the entrance of my Sky Sword Sect Palace! What gall! Let's not spout any more rubbish. Receive my move." Mo Chao suddenly roared. At the same time, he turned into a rolling thunder stream, forming an illusory liquefied figure. He held onto a similar liquid-like god sword and leaped over at Xue Ying in a flash.

"You are overestimating yourself." Xue Ying's voice boomed. He flipped his hand.

His palm suddenly expanded. Five faint light strands appeared on the surface of his fingers before they were used to directly grab Mo Chao!

Mo Chao who had turned himself into an electrified liquid figure felt his heart trembling. He tried escaping.

But the heaven-defying palm came down at once!

Five Phases Sealing Technique!

Space, sealed!

Even ultra-long distance teleportation techniques could not be used to escape. Any kinds of fleeing methods were futile. That large palm which was emitting light grabbed Mo Chao.

"No, no–!" Mo Chao struggled in despair, only to see countless thunder flashing by the gaps of the fingers.

"Break apart for me!"

A thunderclap flashed out from the sword.

Xue Ying's seemingly huge palm had many gaps between his fingers. But in reality, the Five Phases Sealing Technique sealed every part of space itself, revealing no holes open. This was the perfect fusion of five tenth level moves, and its power sufficed to bring despair to other tenth level experts! There might be some Primal Chaos experts who existed in the entire Realm Heart Great Land that could break this move, but Mo Chao was still quite lacking.

"Sou."

In front of the many cultivators who fell into a daze, Xue Ying kept his palm. The Five Phase Beads had already floated on the bracelet which he wore on his right hand. The Five Phase Beads were all currently emitting light. At the next moment, a fist-sized space flew towards one of the beads. That fist-sized space contained a thunder figure within that was holding on to a sword and struggling to free himself. The sword techniques were horrifying and strange, yet that figure was still kept into one of the Five Phase Beads.

The Five Phase Beads, any of the bead held a void world within. They were the most appropriate places to imprison the enemies.

Xue Ying felt that capturing the other party was much more beneficial to him than killing him.

"This, this…"

In the distance, there were many disciples from the royal family and the aristocratic Marquis clans. All of them, including the other cultivators, were stunned. Many of them were powerful or had high statuses, and were clear how formidable Thunder King Mo Chao was.

He defeated Stone Jade Devil King with his sword, crossed the Ten Calamity Bridge, and was one of the two protectors for the Sky Sword Sect!

But he was simply grabbed by a palm just like that?

"Five Phases Sealing Technique?" His Highness Blaze Wind situated in the Sky Sword Sect Palace felt his expression shifting, "The Five Phases Sealing Technique? How could this be? The Five Phases Sealing Technique has appeared again?"

"He actually succeeded in grasping the Five Phases Sealing Technique? A Primal Chaos expert actually succeeded in training the Five Phases Sealing Technique?" The Hundred-Battle Devil God Fan Chu Hu also looked upwards. The previous time he saw this secret cultivation technique was during the second War of the Ancient Nations.

Chapter 1060: Redeeming?

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Your Highness Blaze Wind?" Rain Dust Walker who remained quiet by the side actually reminded the other party–something that was seldom, "Hurry up and seal the space."

"Alright."

A scroll appeared in the hands of His Highness Blaze Wind. As he activated it, it immediately produced a dimmed spatial barrier to encircle around the Sky Sword Sect Palace. Those present–Hundred-Battle Devil God Fan Chu Hu, the black-robed expert, Rain Dust Walker, and the water-fire envoys were all sure that if Xue Ying were to unleash the Five Phases Sealing Technique against all of them, they could resist against it easily.

But what they were afraid was for Xue Ying to be quick enough and deal against a single person!

They had to admit that they, those tenth level experts who were present here, were all not an opponent of that Xue Ying. The gap was too big!

"This is truly terrifying. He actually grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique at the Primal Chaos Realm." Rain Dust Walker might be proud and aloof, but he still exclaimed in admiration at this moment.

"It is indeed terrifying." The arrogant His Highness Blaze Wind looked downwards at the gigantic magic dragon which was coiling in midair, and that white-robed young man standing on its back. This was the first time he had reverence for this Xue Ying! The world of cultivation worked in simple ways. Even though having a strong background was worth being proud of, 'strength is root'! When a cultivator was entirely transcended by another in terms of strength, he would only respect and admire the other party.

This was respect for strength!

'Five Phases Sealing Technique, only when I fully grasped the Three Realms Technique would it be possible for me to ride above him.' His Highness Blaze Wind thought, 'But I've cultivated bitterly for so long to grasp the Scripture of the Past from the Three Realms Technique. That elder clan brother of mine with that pride and confidence has cultivated the Scripture of the Past before training in the Scripture of the Future… yet he lost himself in the future and became mad.'

The Scripture of the Past was the easiest to train.

As for the Scripture of the Future, it was possible to lose oneself within it. And that would cause the cultivator to become mad.

The hardest was the 'Scripture of the Present'. And to fuse the three realms as one was something difficult. In history, there were quite a few who had turned mad from cultivating it. There were some who suicided too. Hence, most cultivators would pale when facing the Three Realms Technique. Most would only start cultivating it after becoming a Cosmos God. Some even held off training in the 'Scripture of the Present' until they were second level Cosmos Gods. The moment the three realms were fused as one…

The strength of the cultivator would become horrifying.

He would not be in the past, the future or the present. The attacks from the enemy could not touch the user at all. Such techniques were not any worse than the grand perfection of void-ification. Furthermore, it was more amazing in its combat power.

"Usually, only Cosmos Gods dared to train in such horrifying secret cultivation technique." His Highness Blaze Wind sighed.

Five Phases Sealing Technique!

Three Realm Technique!

And many other horrifying secret impartation techniques would allow the cultivator to reach an 'unparalleled' realm. Like Ancestor Fan and several other existences, they had already reached the pinnacle before turning back to research their own Dao path and deduce some powerful techniques at the Primal Chaos Realm. This was theoretically possible.

Like the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique', in theory, it was possible to grasp it at the Primal Chaos Realm. But how many Primal Chaos experts could reach the peak in five different Dao Paths?

It was possible in 'theory', yet the possibility of achieving it, in reality, was low.

And those who stood unparalleled at the apex in the Realm Heart Great Land did not really care if the juniors could grasp the techniques or not! No matter what, they would just create the method! Only those with the capabilities could understand them.

'How powerful a cultivator is could be determined by how much effort and difficulties he has triumphed over.' His Highness Blaze Wind felt admiration. Even though it was hard to grasp such an absolute art, the cultivator could sweep across those on the same level once he succeeded.

Xue Ying looked downwards at the crowd of tenth level experts within the Sky Sword Sect Palace–they frightened so much that they actually utilized a secret treasure to isolate the space. This brought a grin on Xue Ying. He then announced: "I, Ying Shan Xue Ying, is currently challenging all experts from the Sky Sword Sect. This Mo Chao is only so average that he couldn't even resist against a single move of mine. Unless the Sky Sword Sect is this weak?"

His voice was like a wave rolling out in all directions.

Challenge!

Slapping the face!

Xue Ying was currently relying on this to give a tight slap on the reputation of Sky Sword Sect.

Sky Sword Sect Palace.

His Highness Blaze Wind and the others would not feel embarrassed since they weren't disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

"Using the Five Phases Sealing Technique to challenge the disciples of Sky Sword Sect openly? Who could be his opponent?" Hundred-Battle Devil God Fan Chu Hu shook his head.

"Don't say openly challenging the others. Even if we seek for experts across the entire Realm Heart Great Land, those who could defeat this Ying Shan Xue Ying at the Primal Chaos Realm could be counted with one's fingers, and all of them are favored cultivators of every great organization. It is impossible for the Sky Sword Sect to invite them at all." His Highness Blaze Wind muttered.

In terms of cultivation technique.

The Five Phases Sealing Technique was not the strongest art at the Primal Chaos Realm. There were only about a dozen techniques that were stronger than it.

But the strongest the absolute art, the higher the difficulty of cultivating them.

There were so few in history that succeeded in grasping these techniques, much less 'in this current era'. After all, most who cultivated that sort of heaven-defying secret impartation techniques would have a great foundation or horrifying talent. They would step into the Cosmos God Realm not too long after grasping such techniques. Just like Xue Ying, he had grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique, and that was equivalent to taking one step through the doors to the Cosmos God Realm.

Hence, practically almost all cultivators who grasped these terrifying secret impartation techniques had become Cosmos God already.

As a result, those who were still at the Primal Chaos realm and could defeat Xue Ying were very few. They were all darlings of the big organizations! Furthermore, disciples not from the Sky Sword Sect were qualified to battle in this open challenge by Xue Ying.

"He can't even withstand a single move?"

"This strength is way too frightening. I think some new Cosmos Gods might not even be able to survive."

"Mn, Cosmos Gods also have to cultivate for a long time and gain sufficient experience before they could triumph over this Ying Shan Xue Ying! Those newly emerged Cosmos Gods? They are only at the tenth level power and aren't opponents of this Ying Shan Xue Ying."

Many cultivators were watching this battle from across the world.

Many carriages were floating in midair, and experts were gossiping with each other. Even Primal Chaos experts held admiration for this white-robed young man who stood on the back of the enormous magic dragon! This power was honestly frightening. The moment the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique' was released, even tenth level experts could not escape from it. New Cosmos Gods would be captured too. They, ordinary Primal Chaos experts, would simply be swept away by Xue Ying like ants.

"This power is at the top few even within the six great ancient nations." One of them praised.

"Such an abnormal expert actually came from our Black Devil Four Nations."

"Amazing."

"His name will likely be heard across the Realm Heart Great Land."

Many people felt honored just by thinking about it.

No matter what, they were all from the Black Devil Four Nations, and this was simply a small edge in the vast Realm Heart Great Land! This was an unremarkable region, and powerful organizations like the Summer Wind Ancient Nation disdained them the most. There was the natural contempt for these weaklings. Nevertheless, an expert like 'Xue Ying' actually came out from this region, grasping an absolute art like the Five Phases Sealing Technique. Even Primal Chaos experts from the ancient nations would not dare to look down on him.

Even though there were many observing the spectacle and were discussing with each other.

In reality, quite a few Cosmos Gods were watching this battle too. After all, this was a confrontation between the Sky Sword Sect and Southern Cloud Sacred Religion! Especially the two great heroes, 'Sky Sword King' and 'Southern Cloud King', they were also watching the battle in the dark.

"Xue Ying."

The voice of his teacher sounded.

"Teacher." Xue Ying replied.

"Capture that one called Mo Chao alive. If you are okay with it, I'll let the Sky Sword King redeem him." Southern Cloud King transmitted.

"I am naturally not against it." Xue Ying captured him alive precisely because of this reason.

If he killed the other party, he would only be earning some secret treasures.

Letting the other party redeem him!

He could earn a considerable sum of cosmos crystals! Xue Ying did not treat this Thunder King Mo Chao as his opponent. He did not have hatred for him either. After all, they were both doing these for their religions.

"Alright. Continue with your current stance and blockade them!" Southern Cloud King ordered.

"Yes."

Xue Ying understood too. Given his current strength, the Sky Sword Sect's plan to advance into the Black Devil Four Nations had been impaired significantly. Clearly, both parties were commencing their negotiations.

"The Sky Sword Sect has dispatched Chang Su Wang and others in the past to blockade my Southern Cloud Sacred Palace. They even killed quite a few disciples of ours, and are ruthless." Xue Ying continued shouting out from the top of his magic dragon, "I still thought many formidable experts exist in the Sky Sword Sect. This Mo Chao is still quite courageous, albeit a little too weak. Right now, is there still anyone who dares to fight against me, Ying Shan Xue Ying?"

The surging void tsunami had already wrapped the entire Sky Sword Sect Palace.

He would continue the blockade of the sect.

And he would be blockading it for more than a hundred million years. Even though many experts from the Sky Sword Sect felt frustrated and angry, none dared to act. They held both respect and terror for the strength this 'Xue Ying' had!

Chapter 1061: Earning a Huge Sum of Money

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

A huge magic dragon coiled in midair. That pair of eyes which was as clear as lake cast its gaze across a huge area. It was currently in glee. In the past, it spent most of its time as a domesticated animal responsible only for pulling the carriages for His Highness Southern Cloud King. Notwithstanding, as it followed its new owner, Xue Ying, it could enjoy this magnificent view from the top!

Xue Ying sat cross-legged on the vast back of the magic dragon. He pondered: 'There exist Primal Chaos experts who are stronger than me in the Realm Heart Great Land, though it is impossible for them to exist in the Sky Sword Sect! Furthermore, those stronger than me in the same realm could only defeat me and not kill me.' Xue Ying was filled with confidence. His strength and the fact that he had reached the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm in the Mirage and Illusory Realm meant that his soul was equally strong.

'If we continued fighting, the Sky Sword Sect would likely admit defeat sooner or later.'

'I wonder… how much could Thunder King Mo Chao be redeemed for.' Xue Ying thought. He wanted to rely on this to buy some Mirage and Illusory Realm treasures!

Even though it was likely that his teacher Southern Cloud King would lend him this sum of money if he asked.

But…

Xue Ying was not a 'shameless' person, asking for one thing before requesting for another again. The Southern Cloud King would only become furious from it. The 'Five Phase Beads' was given willingly by his teacher, and that was considered a huge favor already–the 'Five Phase Beads' was worth around 20 million cosmos crystals. This was because the Five Phase Beads had been refined a long time ago, and the Southern Cloud King did not have anyone to bestow it to. That was why he gave it to Xue Ying. Since Xue Ying had gotten such a huge gift, he dared not 'open his mouth like a lion'.

"Weng."

With a thought, Xue Ying sent his consciousness down into one of the Five Phase Beads where Thunder King Mo Chao was locked in.

This was a sealed world. Being a top-graded secret treasure, it was extremely stable. Most Cosmos Gods would not be able to escape from it either.

"I'm doomed."

The violet-robed male Mo Chao sat cross-legged in the void looking around him. It was a piece of sealed space.

Mo Chao's eyes were filled with despair. He was no longer struggling. He tried thinking of ways to escape, yet to no avail–he could not shake this sealed space at all.

"Am I, Mo Chao, going to be doomed like this? No, no, Ying Shan Xue Ying did not kill me. It might be possible for me to live!" Mo Chao's heart was in a mess. Battles were frequent between organizations in the Realm Heart Great Land, and it was normal for experts to fall. Quite a few Cosmos Gods had died during these battles, so what if a tenth level expert died? It would not cause any wave at all.

"I've experienced so many difficulties in my life. I had even headed to the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation by myself, crossing through the Ten Calamity Bridges despite the pessimism of others. Only then did I reach my current stage." Mo Chao gritted his teeth.

He felt unwilling.

Really unwilling.

The path of cultivation was so hard, and it was not easy for him to reach where he is. Nevertheless, a failure could possibly spell an end to his journey!

"Hu." A blurred figure started condensing. It was none other than the white-robed Xue Ying.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying." Mo Chao hurriedly stood up. He stared at Xue Ying with preparedness in his eyes.

"Let me see all the treasures you have." Xue Ying said.

"What do you want to do?" Mo Chao became both nervous and alert.

"Haha, why? Are you still thinking of resisting despite where you are now? If I wanted to kill you, I could simply smash you to death using the Five Phases Seal." Xue Ying said.

Mo Chao understood this point. He personally experienced how powerful the Five Phases Sealing Technique was. That time, it was merely used to bind him, yet that vast power was something Mo Chao could not resist. No matter how much he struggled, he could not withstand against the 'spatial restriction suppressive power'. It made him understand that if the other seal pressed down on him, he would die!

Even if he had trained the Sky Sword Undying Body to the grand perfection, he could merely survive for a few moves.

"Here." Mo Chao waved his hand.

At that time, many weapons and treasures flew out from the storage treasure.

Xue Ying then pointed forward, causing a thread of ripple to enter Mo Chao's body. Even though Mo Chao wanted to defend himself, he did not do so and allow Xue Ying to probe through his body.

"At least you aren't hiding anything." Only then did Xue Ying took over the treasures and check them once through.

Mo Chao had a total of two formidable secret treasures. It's a pity both were only at the tenth level grade! Actually, this was normal. To most Primal Chaos experts, powerful Cosmos God secret treasures were useless since they did not have the energy or realm to utilize them. They might even be coveted by other Cosmos Gods! Hence, it was normal for experts to be like Mo Chao. Nevertheless, those who were like Xue Ying were exceptional ones.

He owned a Scarlet Cloud God Spear, which he discovered. The Fan Clan had even wanted to buy it over from him.

And the Five Phase Beads was something his teacher, the Southern Cloud King refined. His teacher trusted his disciple to secure this secret treasure since Xue Ying had grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique. As such, it was directly given. And the stuff which the Southern Cloud King gave his disciple, was something the King believed no other Cosmos Gods dared to snatch it away! After all, the King had once fought with several unparalleled existences in the past for the sake of building the foundation of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

"I'll be taking away the treasures. As for your little life, it'll depend on whether the Sky Sword King is willing to redeem it or not." Xue Ying said, "If the price is too low, I can only kill you when my teacher gives the order."

"I understand." Mo Chao nodded. He understood that his little life was being negotiated by the Sky Sword King and Southern Cloud King now.

If the redeeming price is too high and Sky Sword King wasn't willing to pay? He would die!

And if the Sky Sword Sect wasn't willing to cower back between the negotiation of the two religions? He would die!

Seated on the back of the magic dragon, Xue Ying sealed the entire Sky Sword Sect. That was how he blockaded the place. He did not care about how many cultivators were looking over from afar.

The sky turned from day to night.

And finally, from night to day again.

"Hahaha, Brother Sky Sword, you can't be blamed this time, and can only blame your luck. The fortune dawns in my favor, and it isn't an injustice for you to be defeated."

"I am not angry at all. After all, nobody has a say for such an amazing little fellow to appear."

The two colossal consciousness were clashing and discussing from afar.

They had almost finished the negotiation.

The advancement into the Black Devil Four Nations which the Sky Sword Sect prepared for a long time would be ended shortly after it began! Even though the 'Southern Cloud King' was powerful, the Sky Sword King wasn't any weaker either. Furthermore, he had many experts supporting him behind his back. This time, he prepared quite amply and even sent out 'His Highness Blaze Wind, Fan Chu Hu, Rain Dust Walker' and other experts. This was merely the beginning.

The Sky Sword Sect had prepared for a long war between both parties.

Because under normal circumstances, it was too hard for tenth level experts to have a considerable gap, and they had to rely on their experiences to fight different kinds of battle.

But, this time when 'Xue Ying' came out! He openly challenged the other party. And many of the supporters behind the Sky Sword Sect's back could not replace its disciples from taking the challenge. Hence, the Sky Sword King could only admit defeat!

Not just admit defeat.

Furthermore, the Sky Sword King had made quite a huge sacrifice in the confrontation within the realm of 'Towering Sky Ancient Nation'! He had no choice. If he did not lower his head, Xue Ying would likely continue blockading other cities in the Realm Heart Great Land and continue blockading his sect.

And 'Southern Cloud King' was clear that he could not force the other party too far either!

There existed an unspoken rule whereby only disciples at the Primal Chaos Realm would fight between each other instead of those at the highest level. Nevertheless, if one party was pushed to the extent that its foundation was threatened, then the king himself and other more horrifying existences behind his back might just act and break all cordialness.

Hence…

One should not be too greedy and push beyond the boundaries of the other party!

The sky had gradually brightened.

Xue Ying who sat on the back of the magic dragon looked up across the horizons: 'It's the second day. I wonder how is negotiation?'

Just a moment later.

"Xue Ying, everything has been completed. The Sky Sword King is willing to use eight billion cosmos crystals and two tenth level secret treasures which Mo Chao has to redeem his life. Let him off now. Also, your mission is completed. You can come back now. There is no need to stay at the Fiery Zhao Nation any longer." Southern Cloud King transmitted.

"Yes, teacher." Xue Ying then sent out a thought.

He waved his hand.

That violet-robed male Mo Chao appeared by the side. Mo Chao looked at the surrounding void, the huge black dragon in front and Xue Ying who was looking at him now.

"These are your secret treasures." Xue Ying waved his hand before throwing out those two tenth level secret treasures.

Those two secret treasures were worth between 1.5 billion cosmos crystals.

In other words…

The life of Mo Chao was exchanged for a total of 6.5 billion cosmos crystals! This was the benefit of capturing the other party alive. Of course, it was because the wealth of Sky Sword King was quite average. If it were someone as rich as the 'Southern Cloud King', the enemies would likely ask for a higher price just to redeem a tenth level expert! After all, the Southern Cloud King is that rich!

As for the Sky Sword King, he had been squeezed dry by two great ancient nations and was comparatively less wealthy.

"Go."

Xue Ying sat on the back of the magic dragon. With an order, the magic dragon swam away and tunneled into the void.

Mo Chao sighed inwardly as he watched. This time, the Sky Sword Sect had lost big time. But he was celebrating internally since he had survived at least.

"This time, the mission of Sky Sword Sect to advance into the Black Devil Four Nations has failed shortly after it began." His Highness Blaze Wind and the others within the Sky Sword Sect Palace understood after seeing Mo Chao being released alive–the Sky Sword Sect had finished negotiating with the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

"We had no choice. Who would have thought that Ying Shan Xue Ying would appear, and he has even grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique."

They all sighed.

Xue Ying merely transmitted a message to Marquis Qu Ming before returning to the Southern Cloud Capital.

Within the meditation ground of the royal palace.

Southern Cloud King sat cross-legged on the black grass. Behind him was a deep lake covered in a white fog. He was currently smiling at the white-robed young man who came down from a magic dragon. He felt pleased. He could even deduce that his disciple Xue Ying had taken on step into the Cosmos God Realm. Once Xue Ying entered the Cosmos God Realm, it was likely for him to reach large success in the Five Phases Sealing Technique. By then, this disciple of his would become the second strongest expert in the Southern Cloud Nation, and a dependable aide of his!

After all, he did not have many powerful experts by his side. Those who were truly strong would usually join an ancient nation!

"Mn?"

Xue Ying flew down from the magic dragon. He was able to see with a glance that there was a group of people standing beside his teacher–Monarch Chun Yu, Monarch Greedy Peng and the rest. There were also several other tenth level Conferred Kings and personal disciples. They were all waiting here for Xue Ying. Old Mother Ying Shan even grinned–she was clearly delighted. And Fourth Disciple Brother Fu Ling Yun, Fifth Disciple Brother Fu Ling Xiao were no longer envious. They were clear that they would merely remain at the ninth level strength even after their teacher did his best to nurture them.

And currently, this junior disciple brother of theirs had reached a strength that far transcended Senior Disciple Brother Gong Liang Yi and Senior Disciple Sister Ghost Li who they worshipped in the past.

On this day, Xue Ying's name had spread across the entire higher level of Realm Heart Great Land, causing many experts to direct their attention to this small region south of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. As for the Southern Cloud Nation, it had become a hot topic already.

"Disciple greets Teacher." Xue Ying walked up and gave a respectful bow.

Chapter 1062: Seeking for Treasures

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Good." Southern Cloud King looked at Xue Ying with a look filled with praise. He nodded, "My Southern Cloud Sacred Religion has fought for eons with the Sky Sword Sect and has always been disadvantaged. This time, they advanced into the Fiery Zhao Nation like a torrential wave, but Xue Ying has grasped the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique', forcing them to retreat and admit defeat, causing them to suffer from losses. Haha, Xue Ying, your contribution this time is huge so I will award you with 60,000 contribution points."

Strictly speaking.

What the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion gained this time is far beyond the value of '60,000 contribution points'. But as the King had previously given Xue Ying the 'Five Phase Beads', it was considered making up for the difference in effort. That was a Cosmos God top-graded secret treasure.

"Many thanks, Teacher." Xue Ying said.

"Congratulations Junior Disciple Brother, congratulations to you." Monarch Greedy Peng smiled, "The first time you conducted a mission for Teacher, and you have earned a total of 60,000 contribution points. Adding up what I have earned, I only acquired 60,000 contribution points after becoming a Cosmos God."

"Eldest Disciple Brother, both Senior DIsciple Brother Gong Liang and I have not reached that amount even until now!" Empress Ghost Li added. At the same time, her gaze towards Xue Ying brightened. Pride filled her bones. Even though there were a few who had been taken for her to seek pleasure, they were all considered her playthings! She had never genuinely considered them as her target for a companion. Currently, she actually felt that it was quite pleasant to entwine her life with this little disciple brother of his as Dao companions!

Gong Liang Yi watched Xue Ying. He sighed inwardly.

He had always thought that he was the most outstanding disciple his teacher had.

As for Eldest Disciple Brother Greedy Peng? Greedy Peng was originally the follower of the Southern Cloud King. When the King was in miserable straits, Greedy Peng did not leave the King, and the King was someone who treated camaraderie as something important. That was why he spent a large number of resources to nurture Greedy Peng. In reality, Monarch Greedy Peng cultivated in an art that wasn't of the void lineage! And what Gong Liang Yi cultivated was of the void lineage, and was also the most outstanding one.

'This Little Disciple Brother rises really quickly, so fast that it makes other speechless.' Gong Liang Yi sighed.

"Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying, we know that you have captured that protector from the Sky Sword Sect with a single move after using the Five Phases Sealing Technique. Everyone likes that scene a lot. Even though we all know that our Southern Cloud Sacred Religion has that absolute art, we have never seen before someone using it." Fu Ling Xiao spoke.

"Junior Disciple Brother Xue Ying, hopefully, you can broaden our perspective when the time comes."

All of them were saying it.

"Alright, alright, in a while, all you disciple brothers, do note that there will be a banquet held later. You can chat again later on." Southern Cloud King laughed.

"Yes."

Monarch Greedy Peng, Xue Ying, Gong Liang Yi, Empress Ghost Li, Fu Ling Yun, and Fu Ling Xiao acknowledged in an orderly manner.

The crowd then left to participate in the banquet that was about to begin. This was a massive victory for the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion as they had even gotten great benefits in the Towering Sky Ancient Nation. Naturally, they had to celebrate.

"Xue Ying, stay behind." Southern Cloud King ordered.

Xue Ying was left alone with his teacher after that.

"This is the eight billion cosmos crystals which Sky Sword King gave." Southern Cloud King threw out a wristband over to Xue Ying.

Xue Ying took it and checked through. There were cosmos crystals piled up like a mountain. He then said: "Teacher, help me exchange for another three more billion cosmos crystals from the 60,000 contribution points that I have."

As a personal disciple, 10,000 contribution points could be exchanged for a billion cosmos crystal worth of precious materials or treasures. They could even be used directly to exchange for cosmos crystals.

"Oh? You need so many cosmos crystals?" Southern Cloud King felt startled. Nonetheless, he flipped his hand and threw over another storage treasure. The cosmos crystals gotten from the various palaces across the entire Realm Heart Great Land were eventually gathered in the hands of the Southern Cloud King. Hence, he had so many cosmos crystals that it would frighten others.

"Disciple is thinking of buying a Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure." Xue Ying said. After all, he was planning to purchase it, and there was no need to conceal this from his teacher.

"Oh?" Southern Cloud King's eyes brightened, "You specialize in the Mirage and Illusory Realm. That time when you dealt against that Chang Su Wang, what you used is the Mirage and Illusory Realm?"

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded.

"Has it reached the pinnacle?" Southern Cloud King asked.

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded again.

Southern Cloud King felt his eyes widening. His heart beat even began quickening. Only after a while did he gradually calm down. He understood that he was really underestimating this disciple of his.

It was very hard to train in the Five Phases Sealing Technique already.

And techniques on the soul aspect were known for being difficult too. Just trying to grasp the Mirage and Illusory realm at the ninth level wasn't any less difficult than grasping the Five Phases Sealing Technique. Because techniques dealing against the soul were all abstract and hardest to interact with. Just like how when Xue Ying created the 'Illusory Realm World', it was an entirely new world by itself with many living beings inside. All of them were beings whom Xue Ying felt were real. Each creature had his or her own personality, and their personal journey…

Such a technique was extremely frightening. Xue Ying was also the most heaven-defying talent in the Mirage and Illusory Realm within the Primal Chaos Void origin world!

He had cultivated for long periods, and after creating the 'nine-petaled Destruction Flower', accumulating experience and wisdom for a trillion years, only then did Xue Ying finally create the ninth level technique, the 'Illusory Realm World'. Even with his massive talent in this aspect, it still took so long. One could see how difficult it was.

"You have such a great talent in the Mirage and Illusory realm." Southern Cloud King sighed.

It was fortunate.

There had been quite a few cultivators who reincarnated from other Origin World into the Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, there were many more with talents higher than Xue Ying! Besides, given how deep the foundation the Realm Heart Great Land had, many unparalleled existences spent time and effort in nurturing these talented cultivators, reducing the difficulty of grasping the ninth level in Mirage and Illusory Realm than that in the Primal Chaos Void.

In the Primal Chaos Void, there had been no scriptures written by any predecessors! Xue Ying had to open up the path all by himself.

And here, he had found a total of 18 scriptures just in the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion alone on Mirage and Illusory Realm. There were even more ninth level scriptures and two that reached the Cosmos God realm! If these scriptures existed in the Primal Chaos Void, Xue Ying questioned himself—he knew that he could create the Illusory Realm World ten times faster!

Opening the path himself and being guided by the predecessors naturally two different things.

But by entirely relying on himself, even though he suffered from more difficulties during the journey, it strengthened the foundation Xue Ying had in the Mirage and Illusory Realm.

"When are you prepared to go buy the Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure?" Southern Cloud King questioned with a smile.

"After the banquet. I'd like to leave a little earlier since this disciple is feeling slightly impatient already." Xue Ying laughed.

Southern Cloud King nodded with a smile. He understood too that this disciple of his had already reached the pinnacle of Mirage and Illusory Realm when he killed Chang Su Wang. It's just that he had never borrowed any cosmos crystals from the King, significantly increasing the favor the Southern Cloud King had on this disciple. The King also understood that this disciple had great talent in two lineages—the Void lineage and the Mirage and Illusory realm lineage. If this were the past, there would still be several heaven-defying disciples nurtured by the six great ancient nations who could defeat his disciple. But now? Cultivating in both lineages, the Southern Cloud King felt that in the entire Realm Heart Great Land, his disciple would be hard-pressed to find an enemy who could defeat him!

"But remember not to be complacent." Southern Cloud King could not help but remind his disciple, "Those who are truly talented have all become Cosmos Gods. Like Paragon Jia Luo from the 'Towering Sky Ancient Nation', he was the only one before you that succeeded in grasping the Five Phases Sealing Technique at the Primal Chaos Realm. Currently, he is already a paragon in the Towering Sky Ancient Nation."

"I understand." Xue Ying nodded.

He always cast his gaze towards becoming a Cosmos God, and even sought to reach the height where 'Sacred Master' was!

After the banquet.

Xue Ying kept his aura and left the Southern Cloud Ancient Nation alone. He was currently visiting different places in search of more Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures.

In the entire Realm Heart Great Land, there were eight pieces of Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures at the tenth level grade that were sold to the public! The publicly acknowledged price was between 12 billion to 20 billion cosmos crystals, and Xue Ying wanted to personally check through the items before finding out if they suited him or not!

Because to him, this Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure could not only improve his strength, it could also allow him to unleash a tenth level technique earlier. This was a Cosmos God level technique, and by using it at the Primal Chaos Realm, Xue Ying could feel how it is to utilize the move. This would be hugely helpful to his breakthrough to the Cosmos God Realm! He always sought to become a Cosmos God in the Void Dao, and he was similarly placing all his effort in this Mirage and Illusory Realm Dao path too.

He went to various places to check the items.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Ying arrived at the Black Prison Yin Sea. There was island country formed by several hundred thousand islands together, known as the 'Thistle Flower Nation'. This was also the place that held the third Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure.

Chapter 1063: Thistle Flower Nation

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

The majority of the tenth level graded Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures were consigned in shops owned by the apex organizations in the world like the Fan Clan.

Because if they sold to the shops directly, the purchase price would be meager! Secret treasures were much desired by experts, yet to those who did not require it, they would be useless! The Dao of 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' was one of the rarer few Dao paths cultivated by cultivators. There were very few who actually reached the ninth level without relying on external materials!

Hence, it was hard to find 'interested customers' in treasures of this Dao.

When these secret treasures were sold to the shops, the shops would naturally lower the price.

Those who owned the treasures were not too willing to suffer from the loss. They rather consign it and wait for a 'buyer' to appear.

"Thistle Flower Nation."

A white-robed young man nimbly appeared in midair. He looked at the distant beautiful city. That was the capital of the Thistle Flower Nation.

'The Thistle Flower Nation is also a tier three little nation. They have just a single Cosmos God and two tenth level experts protecting it.' Xue Ying thought. In the Realm Heart Great Land, there were quite a lot of tier three nations. Many great organizations disdained from developing in those desolate and dangerous places. Like the Thistle Flower Nation which was located by the dangerous Black Prison Yin Sea, and was a country formed from several hundred thousand islands.

Do not ever belittle a tier three nation!

Even though they might be small, those who dared to start a nation were Cosmos Gods with a solid foundation. Furthermore, these nations would usually help each other, forming a union.

Like the Thistle Flower Nation, it was part of a union located south of the Black Prison Yin Sea formed by many nations, the 'United Star Union'!

The Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures were all waiting for buyers who required them. Hence, it was not that important where they were consigned to.

Those who truly seek them would rapidly rush over to another place in the Realm Heart Great Land.

"The food here in the Thistle Flower Nation is quite good."

Xue Ying enjoyed himself by a pub along the street.

"Sir Xue Ying, the owner of the secret treasure has stated his price. The lowest is 11.5 billion cosmos crystals." There was a sudden transmission.

"11.5 billion cosmos crystals? That is still too expensive. I'll have a look at it first. There are eight Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures in total after all. I shall find the most appropriate and cheapest one out of them." Xue Ying transmitted back.

"Alright. I'll continue to negotiate with the owner of the secret treasure."

Xue Ying smiled.

The reason why he was enjoying the delicacies and strolled around looking at the secret treasures exasperatingly was all because he wanted to delay and lower the price!

If one said that shops owned by those apex organizations like Fan Clan would always have a bottom line in the price and could not lower it any further, it was different for those who 'consigned' the items since it was all an elaborate and refined bargain with the owner of the secret treasure! The appearance of a 'buyer' was not often. Xue Ying naturally wanted to lower the price as much as he could. By slightly delaying for a little more time, he might reduce it by a billion cosmos crystals!

'They are really risking their lives. Most of these are fishes from the Black Prison Yin Sea.' As Xue Ying enjoyed the delicacies, he was able to make a conjecture that quite a few cultivators actually sacrificed their lives to fish up these fishes.

But for the sake of earning resources and cultivating, they had to risk their lives. Nothing would ever drop down freely from the sky.

'Of the first two secret treasures, the lowest for one was at 15.6 billion and the other at 11.5 billion cosmos crystals.' Xue Ying was calculating it. Even if it was appropriate, he wanted to get it at a lower price.

"Wheeze~"

The pub was very crowded.

There were many guests here too. Xue Ying sat by the corner in his white robe. With his void-ification capabilities in hiding his aura, other Primal Chaos experts would have a hard time discerning his real strength.

"Mn?" Xue Ying looked up. His gaze was filled with a strand of astonishment, 'They said that the United Star Union is very chaotic, and killing is normal. But who would have thought that I would actually meet a huge scene of slaughter here at the Thistle Flower Nation capital.'

United Star Union was formed by many tier three nations, and some of them were utterly controlled by devils behind the scenes!

Killing, chaos…

Those were too frequent in the United Star Union.

Simply speaking, the stronger the country, the more stable it would be. For instance, Summer Wind Ancient Nation and other five great ancient nations, they were much more stable overall! As for the United Star Union? It would depend on the strength of the king. Some were more stable, and some were so messy that it was similar to the Black Devil Great Lake.

"Sou sou sou."

Even though Xue Ying perceived it, other guests in the pub did not.

Many soldiers stealthily appeared around the pub, forming a vast array as they came. This array had entrapped the entire place.

"Shua."

An enchanting green-gowned woman brought two subordinates with her and flew over from amidst the army. At this moment, she did not hide her aura at all. That enchanting and cold aura of hers spread over.

"My beloved husband, I have searched for you for a long time." The enchanting green-gowned woman's voice reverberated in the world. Her eyes stared at an attendant within the pub.

The moment she finished speaking.

"Hong!"

The surrounding combat array of the army was activated. "Hong~" A huge piece of the region had been covered by it. The army even produced a two-headed mutated beast figure, frightening many other cultivators to feel on the street and in the pub.

"We are doomed! It's that 'Demoness Xia Yin' from the Sky Pillar Clan!"

"Teacher, are we going to be implicated?"

"See our fate!"

"Don't let out any sound."

Many cultivators in the surrounding including the attendants of some shops, the managers and even the guests were all scared witless. Living in the Thistle Flower Nation, they were accustomed to the occasional killings within, albeit they never have thought they would actually experience one happening. They only hoped they would not be implicated.

"Xia'er, both of us had bonded together as companions. How about living me a path to live, alright?" The attendant looked up.

"Hahaha, husband, you are really innocent. Have you never heard of the term cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots? How can I spare you? You are the final core disciple the Ba Tuo Clan has." The enchanting green-gowned woman laughed, "Naturally if you are willing to hand over the aura-concealing cultivation technique you have over, I might be able to promise you that I'll spare the lives of all those lowest ranking disciples the Ba Tuo Clan has, and allow them to live."

Ba Tuo Clan was once a Conferred King Clan in the Thistle Flower Nation. They had many disciples and only after reaching the Void God level would the disciple be considered a core disciple. The majority of the others were lower leveled civilians, and most were simply released into the wild. Their number could not be counted.

Even though they wanted to massacre the entire clan, it was impossible to slaughter clean all descendants from the Ba Tuo Clan that had reproduced across the many generations.

"You are ruthless." The eyes of the emissary 'Ba Tuo Chen' were filled with great hatred.

He hated his fate.

He was originally from a Conferred King clan, yet it was exterminated overnight. His father, his mother, his brothers and good friends, and many other clanmates of his… the entire Ba Tuo Residence was wiped clean.

"Hahaha, ruthless? Did you think I was infatuated with you in the past? Alright, just obediently hand that aura-concealing technique you have over, and I might just leave some of the descendants from your Ba Tuo Clan alive considering that we were once Dao companions. Otherwise, I'll scour through the entire United Star Union and completely wipe out your bloodline!" The enchanting green-gowned woman coldly uttered.

"You think I would believe you? Go on, kill me! Kill all of us! It is impossible for you to wipe us clean. There will be a day when an expert emerges from my Ba Tuo Clan before coming back to the Thistle Flower Nation again." Emissary Ba Tuo Chen growled.

"Hmph."

The eyes of the enchanting green-gowned woman were filled with a savage aura, "You aren't willing to hand it over? Seeing that you decided to conceal your identity as an attendant, the people of this pub must be helping you. Leave none alive. Also, the surrounding people will accompany in the burial too."

The managers and guests within the pub revealed looks of horror. The cultivators nearby also felt their hearts trembling.

"You—" The emissary Ba Tuo Chen roared, "Xia Yin, why the need to implicate the innocent? Let me tell you honestly, I have gotten this cultivation technique due to my fortune, but this cultivation technique is forbidden from being spread outwards."

"You did not obtain the original copy?" The green-gowned girl sighed after hearing that.

Most amazing cultivation techniques were forbidden from being spread outwards.

"Ai, truly a regret."

The green-gowned woman waved her hands, "Kill all of them. Leave none alive."

"No—"

"General Xia Yin!"

"Mercy! Spare us!"

"You are the from the Sky Pillar 'Yang Clan' which is also one of Sky Pillar Clans of our Thistle Flower Nation! You can't do this!"

"General Xia Yin!"

Many sounds of mercy sounded. There were even cultivators kneeling down when they saw how things progressed.

"Wipe them out!" The green-gowned woman did not acquire the cultivation technique. She was feeling really unpleasant and murderous now as that savage eyes of hers wiped around the place.

"Yes." The army hesitated momentarily, yet could only acknowledge the orders.

"Sigh."

Seated at a corner within the pub, the white-robed young man who had been watching everything calmly gave out a light sigh. The strange thing was that his sigh sounded by the ears of everyone around the place. It reverberated by the ears of every single soldier, causing everyone to feel terror! The soldiers who were originally about to carry out the orders realized shortly that they could no longer move.

Not even an inch!

The green-gowned woman turned to that white-robed young man with terror. She also discovered that she could no longer move. The surrounding void had completely suppressed her, restricting her motion.

That white-robed young man sat there ordering: "Manager, bring more wine over."

"Ai, ai!" That manager of the pub who was initially filled with despair, felt his heart trembling and hurriedly bring the wine over. He did not seem to be affected and could still move.

"This great sir, this is a matter between our Sky Pillar' Yang Clan' and the Ba Tuo Clan. I do sincerely request for great sir not to intervene." The green-gowned woman shouted out in a loud voice despite not being able to move. She exceptionally pronounced the two words 'Sky Pillar'.

Sky Pillar.

These were words that held a unique meaning within the United Star Union. It represented a Sky Pillar ranked clan within a single nation, and most usually had tenth level experts within. This was an existence that could fight against Cosmos Gods, and it was logical for this green-gowned woman to be arrogant.

"Sky Pillar Yang Clan?" Xue Ying softly nodded, "Originally, I am too lazy to intervene in this hatred and revenge of yours. It's just that killing them all and leaving none alive… doesn't seem right. These ordinary cultivators aren't enemies of your Yang Clan isn't it?"

The expression of that green-gowned woman turned ugly.

So what if she killed these ants?

"Why? In your eyes, they are merely ants?" Xue Ying shook his head, "What a pity. In my eyes, you are an ant too."

"Peng!"

The moment he finished speaking, the green-gowned woman revealed a look of terror. Her body had exploded entirely and dissipated from the world.

The surrounding place was quiet.

All the soldiers and cultivators remained quiet out of fear. The daughter of Sky Pillar Yang Clan's patriarch died just like that?

Xue Ying's eyes were filled with coldness. His heart temperament had determined that he would never tolerate acts of the strong bullying the weak! Maybe when he was weak, he could not influence the Realm Heart Great Land at all. But whenever he met such a situation, he would definitely intervene if he could!

"Things are getting troublesome."

"He killed the patriarch's daughter, General Xia Yin."

"Not good!"

Many other cultivators were panicking. Yet Xue Ying remained seated there continuing drinking.

"Hong~"

In the distant, a horrifying and dazzling aura descended. He was akin to a lump of eye-striking light. Endless light surged out and condensed into a human. At the same time, his furious roar sounded across the world: "Who dares to kill my daughter Xia Yin?"

"Me." Xue Ying remained seated there pouring wine for himself.

Chapter 1067: A Change of Attitude

Translator:Chaos_

Editor:Chaos_

The endless light condensed into a human. It was a furious bald-headed old man. He was emanating light, so much so that he felt akin to a ruler of all life.

"Who dares to kill my daughter Xia Yin?" His furious roar shook the entire world. At the same time, his killing intent started engulfing the whole place, chilling the hearts of those who were at the street—those cultivators felt their soul freezing temporarily and their hearts palpitating. They looked in terror at that figure. All the guests within the pub including that manager who just brought wine for Xue Ying stared with wide eyes at this new light-emitting figure that appeared in the midair.

Which civilian of the Thistle Flower Nation did not know of that terrifying existence?

"Sky Pillar King! Sky Pillar King!"

"It is the Sky Pillar King!"

"The Sky Pillar King has arrived. We are doomed. We are really doomed."

In the entire Thistle Flower Nation, there were a total of two Sky Pillar Kings–both were tenth level experts. Their statuses were much higher than other Conferred Kings.

The person with the highest status in Thistle Flower Nation was the king. Closely following him were the two Sky Pillar Kings. The moment they were angered, many beings would die! But the civilians were relatively filled with reverence and admiration for the 'Sky Pillar Kings' since with them and the king around, their 'Thistle Flower Nation' could resist against outside enemies and devils.

If the Thistle Flower Nation did not have sufficiently strong experts, the country would have been wiped by devils.

But even if they revered them, at this moment, these cultivators felt the threat of death arriving. They were horrified, and none of them wanted to die! They even felt injustice as they had been implicated!

"I do not want to die! I haven't even found a Dao companion!"

"No, no…"

"I only wanted to earn more cosmos crystals and send my son to the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and let him learn the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles! But everything has come to an end. Given how angry the Sky Pillar King is, he would likely extinguish all of us with a single thought."

The cultivators were either filled with despair and unwillingness, or they were calmly treating it.

Naturally, the soldiers were feeling incredibly joyous at this moment!

Regardless, there were practically none who harbored hope for Xue Ying since the influence of the 'Sky Pillar King' was too great. In the eyes of the civilians from the Thistle Flower Nation, the Sky Pillar Kings were existences that could fight against Cosmos Gods! If Cosmos Gods did not appear, then the Sky Pillar King could wipe all Primal Chaos existences. That 'white-robed young man' might be formidable, but he was merely emitting an aura at the Primal Chaos Realm and wasn't as dazzling or tyrannical as what the Sky Pillar King was currently emanating.

"It is me." Xue Ying stood there. He continued pouring wine for himself while glancing at that bald-headed old man who was currently emitting a bright light in all directions. Feeling the anger and dense killing intent from the other party, Xue Ying continued with an indifferent tone, "Why? Are you thinking of killing me?"

That bald-headed old man turned towards this 'white-robed young man' who just killed his daughter. What gall! He even dared to drink at this moment!

"Mn?"

All of a sudden, that bald-headed old man quivered. The dense killing intent in his heart had instantly been extinguished. Instead, he felt his body turning cold. He looked at that white-robed young man with a slight tremble. Xue Ying might have kept his aura when traveling outside the world, but he did not change his appearance at all! After all, he was located at an extremely faraway place, the Thistle Flower Nation. Xue Ying was just a newly emerged absolute expert from a small region south of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, one of the 'Black Devil Four Nations'. Few knew of him in the Thistle Flower Nation. Usually, only most Primal Chaos experts and some aristocratic clan disciples who exceptionally paid attention to outside information knew about him.

In reality, even Xue Ying would not care to collect information on experts from the tiny nations around the faraway Myriad Realms Ancient Nation or Primogenitor Ancient Nation. Only when these experts had sufficient identity would the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion naturally transmit the latest intelligence to him.

And the aristocratic clan disciples within the Thistle Flower Nation had to collect the information by themselves.

Hence, not many knew of Xue Ying!

And being one of the two Sky Pillars of the Thistle Flower Nation–'Yang Xiong', the old ancestor from the Yang Clan, he had naturally collected information regarding Xue Ying.

'It is him? Ying Shan Xue Ying?' The bald-headed old man felt his body turning cold, and his heart trembling, 'The protector of the Sky Sword Sect, Thunder King Mo Chao, could not resist a single move in front of him. He had been captured alive directly by the Five Phases Sealing Technique! At the most, I am comparable to Thunder King Mo Chao in terms of strength! I might even lose out to him on certain aspects.'

'The moment the Five Phases Sealing Technique appears, I'll be doomed.'

The bald-headed old man was very clear of this point.

He lived for far too long. He was originally an ordinary civilian from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Step by step, he climbed and finally reached where he was currently. He outwitted many others, lived between life and death, and experienced far too much! Given his current strength, he had never thought of returning to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Because he was considered average in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, unlike in the Thistle Flower Nation where he could live so freely!

As for the fury and killing intent he originally had, they had disappeared totally into thin air.

For the sake of his life, he would not care about all his children at all! He had a total of 256 children, so what if a daughter died?

"I dare not, I dare not."

The bald-headed old man immediately kept his aura. He descended down onto the ground and put on a face filled with enthusiasm. He even started flattering the other party! After taking a few steps, he appeared by the side of the pub and gave Xue Ying a bow with a laugh: "I do hope for you to pardon me for my actions. That lowly s*t has offended Sir Xue Ying and should naturally die! Even if Sir Xue Ying did not act, I would do so since this s*t did not even know her status."

His voice merely sounded in the vicinity.

Only him and Xue Ying could hear it. As for the other pub guests and cultivators, they could hear nothing at all!

He might be willing to flatter Xue Ying, though he did not wish for other guests to hear what he was saying.

"What is happening?"

"The Sky Pillar King, what? Why did it seem like…"

Even though they could not hear anything, they could still see it!

Seeing that passionate smile on the face of the Sky Pillar King, 'Yang Xiong', and how he was even bowing as an apology to that white-robed young man.

"Wah."

"Have we met a big character?"

"Who is he?"

"For him to make the Sky Pillar King revere him, is it a Cosmos God?"

"He should be!"

The surrounding pub manager, guests, and cultivators were all feeling delight. They could see the light at the end of the tunnel! The hope of survival!

Xue Ying continued drinking. He casually spoke: "Yang Xiong, other than this attendant, the other cultivators did not offend your daughter at all, yet your daughter Xia Yin wanted to kill all of them. This is no different from those devils from the Black Devil Great Lake. Since she so casually kills other cultivators, I can only return the favor onto her."

"What? She actually dares to commit such acts? Previously, she was already quite ruthless, yet I'd not thought that she dared to do it." Yang Xiong revealed a look of fury. In reality, he had already known of the savage personality his daughter had.

"Hu."

In the distant, a figure appeared. It was a plump male. When that male appeared, many illusory flowers seemed to blossom in the surrounding. The cultivators present felt joy in their heart.

"King." Everyone present felt truly respectful.

The incomer was none other than the Thistle Flower King.

"So it appears that Ying Shan Xue Ying has paid my Thistle Flower Nation a visit. Why did you not inform me regarding that?" Thistle Flower King smiled. At the same time, he glanced to the bald-headed old man, "Yang Xiong, since your daughter has offended Ying Shan Xue Ying, you must remember to make amendments with him during the banquet in a while's time."

"Definitely, definitely." The bald-headed old man answered.

"Greetings, King." Xue Ying stood up. He could disregard Yang Xiong, though he still had to treat Thistle Flower King with respect.

"Haha… I've long heard of your name, Ying Shan Xue Ying. Who would have thought that we would meet so soon? It seems Brother Xue Ying and I are fated to meet." Thistle Flower King enthusiastically said. Just a few words and he was calling the other party 'brother'.

This was normal too.

After all, the gap in strength between them was small. But given that Xue Ying had grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique, it could be foreseen that Xue Ying would become a Cosmos God in the 'Void Lineage' sooner or later. By then, Xue Ying would be far stronger than the Thistle Flower King. After all, there was an even more horrifying existence behind the back of Xue Ying–the Southern Cloud King!

The Southern Cloud King was someone even the unparalleled existences from the six great ancient nations had to swallow their anger. Nevertheless, facing a king from this tier three nation, the Southern Cloud King could simply oppress him.

"It's him, Yang Xiong." The attendant by the side, 'Ba Tuo Chen', first felt despair when he saw Yang Xiong. After that, Yang Xiong actually postured himself lowly in front of the white-robed young man. After the death of his daughter, the other party did not even dare to fart in front of this white-robed young man!

"King."

Following that, he saw how enthusiastic the strongest expert in the Thistle Flower Nation, the 'Thistle Flower King' was to the white-robed young man, chatting with him with smiles.

"Brother Xue Ying, let's go! Come visit my palace. I have plenty of good food and drinks at my place." The Thistle Flower King said.

"There is no need for King to be so polite." Xue Ying said, "I still have something on and will not be tarrying here anymore."

"Senior!"

Ba Tuo Chen by the side suddenly shouted out.

At this moment, everyone present fell into silence. The Thistle Flower King and Yang Xiong were treating that white-robed young man with such passion, so how would they dare to shout? But this shout had attracted the attention of many people, and even the focus of Thistle Flower King, Yang Xiong and Xue Ying.

This was still the first time Ba Tuo Chen was stared at by the King.

"Senior." Ba Tuo Chen was instead looking at Xue Ying. With a 'peng', he knelt down heavily on the ground.

He knew that if he missed this chance, he would be consigned to eternal damnation!

Chapter 1068: Primogenitor Ancient Nation

"Senior." Ba Tuo Chen knelt, appealing to the white-robed young man in front of him. He continued, "My Ba Tuo Clan was originally a Conferred King Clan within the Thistle Flower Nation. It's just that my Ba Tuo Clan was coveted by Sky Pillar King Yang Xiong. He even personally came over to wipe out my clan. I was fortunate to be out of the residence in the past, which allowed me to survive until now."

"Shut up!" Yang Xiong roared out from the side, "The old ancestor of your Ba Tuo Clan plotted to poison me using an array that time when he requested to meet me! And that resulted in my action of wiping out your clan!"

"But the remaining core disciples of my clan that survived are still pursued and killed." Even though Ba Tuo Chen felt a huge pressure pressing down on him, he still struggled to get the words out, "It is highly probable that only I am alive, and have survived until now by relying on the aura-concealing cultivation technique."

Yang Xiong indifferently said: "After killing Ba Tuo, do you think the remaining disciples of yours are still placed in my eyes? Most likely, it is my men who felt the need to cut the weed and eliminate the root of any possible enemies! Furthermore, there isn't anything wrong with this! It's just that Xia Yin was too foolish in slaughtering the innocents, hence offending Sir Xue Ying. If Sir Xue Ying did not kill her, I would."

"Alright, that's enough." Thistle Flower King said from the side, "Let this matter rest for now. Yang Xiong, just let this fellow off."

"Since the King has said, I'll naturally not pursue after this matter. Furthermore, I have never placed this fellow in my eyes before." Yang Xiong added.

How low was the probability of a tenth level expert emerging?

How many of such experts appeared within the history of Thistle Flower Nation?

Yang Xiong had actually ordered to 'cut the weeds and eliminate the root of the problem' before. But in his heart, he did not care about this matter. He did not think it was possible for a powerful existence to emerge from the remaining few young disciples that would threaten his existence!

'It is he who actually caused the death of my daughter and caused me to offend Ying Shan Xue Ying.' Yang Xiong thought frustratedly, 'After letting him off, I'll just wipe him away from existence once the matter ends.'

"Senior, my Ba Tuo Clan…" Ba Tuo Chen looked at Xue Ying while begging.

"Alright."

Xue Ying said, "Since the King mentioned for this matter to be let to rest, then let it be. It isn't appropriate for you to remain in this Thistle Flower Nation either. I'll be leaving in a while, and you can just follow me along."

"Yes." Ba Tuo Chen felt that he had at least ensured the safety of his life.

But he knew once this Sir Xue Ying left, the Sky Pillar Yang Clan would undoubtedly have ways to kill him surreptitiously.

"King, I have some other matter and will be making my move first. Many thanks for your good intention to invite me over." Xue Ying smiled.

"Hahaha, since Brother Xue Ying has something on, I'll not stop him then. In the future when you are free, remember to come by and visit me." Thistle Flower King laughed back, "My Thistle Flower Nation might not be as wealthy as the Southern Cloud Nation, but it at least has some specialties and good food and drinks."

"Definitely." Xue Ying nodded.

"I originally wanted to hold a banquet as a form of apology. But since Sir Xue Ying is leaving now, I'd have really offended Sir Xue Ying, and hope Sir Xue Ying does not mind it too much." Yang Xiong added.

Xue Ying chuckled.

"Hua."

The space beside them became distorted. Xue Ying brought along Ba Tuo Chen and disappeared from the vicinity.

"Destructive Realm Teleportation Technique." Thistle Flower King looked on while mumbling to himself. Even he as the King did not know how to utilize this technique.

"Hu, he has at least left." Yang Xiong let out a breath of relief.

"It is fine if this daughter of yours acts cruelly outside, but she is like that within the capital too? Your Yang Clan is ultimately a Sky Pillar Clan of my Thistle Flower Nation too." The Thistle Flower King frowned.

"It is I who did not teach her well." Yang Xiong replied, "I'll certainly handle this matter cleanly, and immediately prepare a huge gift to send to the Flying Snow City."

"Mn." Thistle Flower King softly nodded.

They had no other choices.

As a small nation, they did not dare to offend any large organizations! Behind Xue Ying was the Southern Cloud King, and that was a massive threat to the entire Thistle Flower Nation. Just Xue Ying could simply sweep the entire Thistle Flower Nation to death once he became a Cosmos God. They could not handle this matter lightly. To the weak cultivators, the rules might still be relevant within the nation.

But reaching the level of Thistle Flower King, they were the one who formulated the laws and decrees! And what did they rely on? Naturally, their strength! Experts like Xue Ying could definitely wipe out an entire nation.

This was a vast and boundless city. The aura coming from the array protecting it was grand, and even Xue Ying felt the pressure.

"This is?" Ba Tuo Chen looked at the city in front.

"Summer Wind Capital." Xue Ying said, "It is one of the few biggest cities in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. This capital has a population more than the whole of my Southern Cloud Nation, much less that Thistle Flower nation! There are many experts here, and even a bunch of Cosmos Gods. There are all sorts of religions too. The Yang Clan certainly will not dare to come here and find you, and neither would they dare to act rampantly here."

The rules of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation were strict.

Being the capital, even the three religious masters from that Black Devil Great Lake dared not come here. Even if they wanted to bring disorder to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, they would merely do it in some of the smaller cities. Even so, they had to be careful. This was the grandeur of power the Summer Wind Ancient Nation had!

Ba Tuo Chen looked at the city in front. His eyes were emitting light.

Summer Wind Capital?

This was the city spoken in the legends! How many teleportation arrays would he have to take for him to rush over? He would spend so much cosmos crystals only to despair thinking about the implausibility of the idea. The Summer Wind Capital was filled with endless possibilities!

"Alright, properly cultivate here. Your future is up to you to take." Xue Ying stated.

"Many thanks, senior. This kindness senior has provided to junior is something junior will never dare forget." Ba Tuo Chen knelt down in gratitude. The other party gave him a future even though they did not know each other! He was filled with incomparable gratitude for Xue Ying.

"May this junior find out what is senior's name?" Ba Tuo Chen asked. The King might have mentioned Xue Ying's name earlier on, but that voice had been kept under cover, and they were not something these ordinary cultivators could listen to.

"I am Ying Shan Xue Ying." Xue Ying said. He then casually took a step into the distorting void and disappeared from the vicinity.

"Ying Shan Xue Ying. Ying Shan Xue Ying."

Ba Tuo Chen was firmly etching this name in his mind.

It was this white-robed young man called Xue Ying that actually gave him a future.

'There will be a day when I kill that Yang Xiong and stand in front of Senior Ying Shan Xue Ying.' Ba Tuo Chen immediately headed towards the city entrance of the Summer Wind Capital in front. A vast sea was where fishes could leap freely, just like how the vast sky could allow birds to soar! Even though the hope of him rising was small, but this vengeance was something he would never forget. Naturally, he had to grasp every opportunity he had to cultivate within the Summer Wind Capital.

"Hu hu hu~"

The wind was whistling.

There were a total of 15 bright stars in the sky. Regardless if it were day or night, the 'Extreme Night City' in the Primogenitor Ancient Nation would forever be lit up by these 15 bright stars.

"Extreme Night City." The white-robed Xue Ying stood in midair.

There was originally a Mirage and Illusory realm secret treasure over at the Thistle Flower Nation. But since his identity had been revealed, it was not appropriate for him to go there and have a look at that secret treasure anymore.

Because by then when he asked for a price and negotiated with the owner of the secret treasure through the shop, the owner of the secret treasure could likely guess his identity! Xue Ying did not wish for the matter of him purchasing the Mirage and Illusory realm secret treasure to be publicized! Even though the managers of the large shops that were consigned with the goods would know of his identity, the 'reputation' of these shops were too essential for them to jeopardize.

Since the customer did not wish for his identity to be made public, the shop would naturally keep it a secret.

To that 'Yang Xiong', Xue Ying did harbor any killing intent at all because Yang Xiong was an old ancestor of a Sky Pillar Clan in the Thistle Flower Nation. He was practically a local tyrant there. Several tens of thousands of islands were controlled entirely by him. Furthermore, Yang Xiong would also do his utmost to protect these islands. With his existence, the civilians under him would be safe.

That person wasn't a devil that loved to kill as well. Hence Xue Ying would not act against him.

Looking across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

Which expert wasn't ruthless? As long as it wasn't a devil who killed randomly, Xue Ying could put up with these people. After all, cultivators who took pity on the weak cultivators were few and far between. Instead, existences like Yang Xiong and the Thistle Flower King were more commonly seen. Even his teacher, the 'Southern Cloud King', might pay close attention to his citizens, but he wasn't someone that took pity on the weak.

According to the intelligence he knew, his teacher, the Southern Cloud King, also had a side that was cruel and overbearing!

This type of people was something Xue Ying could tolerate! Only those devils that casually killed others and even sent trillions of lives to a Blood Sacrifice were devils Xue Ying had to remove.

'I've acted in the Thistle Flower Nation. Since that's the case, the secret treasure consigned in the Thistle Flower Capital will be the final one I'd pay a visit to.' Xue Ying walked towards the Extreme Night City in front of him, 'Let's go and have a look at this secret treasure consigned here in the Extreme Night City.'

The Primogenitor Ancient Nation had two' primogenitors'. They were both unparalleled existences.

One was called the 'Eternal Night Primogenitor', and the other called 'Extreme Night Primogenitor'.

The Eternal Night Primogenitor was known for his ability to refine magic servants. His attainment in this aspect was unquestionably the strongest across the entire Realm Heart Great Land! It was fine for others to refine large batches of Primal Chaos Realm magic servants as these were commonly seen in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation too. More importantly, the Eternal Night Primogenitor could refine 'magic servants' with combat power at the Cosmos God level. He had refined a total of nine great Cosmos God magic servants, and they were known as the 'Nine Eternal Night Walkers'.

Every walker was absolutely loyal to the Eternal Night Primogenitor and represented the will of the Eternal Night Primogenitor. There was differing strength amongst the nine of them, yet the weakest was already stronger than Thistle Flower King. The strongest had part of the power the Eternal Night Primogenitor had, and could even fight against the Southern Cloud King!o

With these nine walkers under him…

The Eternal Night Primogenitor had incredible governing power.

As for the 'Extreme Night Primogenitor', it was rumored that his body had come from a blood sea in the Realm Heart Great Land. One day, he gained spirituality and sentience. He then continued to cultivate until this level. His research on blood was also the strongest in the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

A single 'blood essence' of his could cause a cultivator to transform qualitatively and greatly become more powerful! For instance, if a tenth level expert absorbed this blood essence, it would greatly increase the chances of him breaking through to the Cosmos God Realm. But the moment he absorbed the blood essence, the cultivator would remain loyal eternally to the Extreme Night Primogenitor. All those who absorbed the blood essence had to call the Extreme Night Primogenitor as 'primogenitor'.

Thus.

Of the six great ancient nations, the Primogenitor Ancient Nation was the strongest in ruling strength and had the strongest cohesiveness! Yet in terms of military power, the Primogenitor Ancient Nation was ranked in the middle amongst the nations.

"Mn?"

Xue Ying walked along the vast and flourishing Extreme Night City. Experts were numerous here. 'I've heard that the Extreme Night Primogenitor had a total of 15 subordinates who eventually broke through to the Cosmos God Realm after absorbing his blood essence! At the same time, there were several Cosmos Gods who wanted to research in the blood essence of the Extreme Night Primogenitor and decided to join His Highness too. Hence, His Highness has quite a few Cosmos Gods under him.'

Other than directly absorbing the blood essence of the Extreme Night Primogenitor, the essence could also be used for other purposes like nurturing insects or altering one's fleshy body. It was even sold outside for 10 billion cosmos crystals, a frightening price.

'I've reached.'

Xue Ying looked at the bright dazzling golden construct in front of him. This golden construct had a symbol showing 15 stars. This was the 'Extreme Night Palace', a place not inferior to the Fan Clan's shop.

Chapter 1069: Eight Secret Treasures

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Extreme Night Palace was a commerce power ranked in the top five across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

And within one of the two great sacred cities in the Primogenitor Ancient Nation, the 'Extreme Night City's Extreme Night Palace, this was the main headquarters and was thriving with business.

"Sir Ying Shan Xue Ying, please come in." As Xue Ying arrived at the Extreme Night Palace, there was a Primal Chaos Realm manager who came to guide him. The other party already knew of Xue Ying's identity without asking Xue Ying.

"I want to see the 'Heart of Desire' without letting others know about it." Xue Ying directly transmitted.

This manager had a calm expression. He transmitted back: "Sir Xue Ying can feel rest assured. Ever since the emergence of my Extreme Night Palace, we have never leaked out a single secret!"

Xue Ying nodded.

In terms of influencing power.

The Extreme Night Palace was considered top five among commerce groups. But in terms of prestige, it was ranked first with the Fan Clan's shop, and was the most perfect commerce business! It had never leaked out the secrets of its customers!

Leaks had occurred in the history of other commerce superpowers. After all, even the most stringent rules would not affect some of the powerful Cosmos Gods that were the ones controlling the businesses. Due to selfishness, these Cosmos Gods would naturally make use of some secrets acquired from the commerce group.

But it was different for the Fan Clan shop and the Extreme Night Palace.

Their prestige was absolutely perfect! One could see how formidable the owners behind these two commerce groups, 'Extreme Night Primogenitor' and 'Ancestor Fan' were in controlling their subordinates! Many overbearing overlords like Sky-Rending Great Paragon or Great Paragon Lu Tian could only remain obedient in front of Ancestor Fan. Much less was needed to speak about Extreme Night Primogenitor for those who absorbed his blood essence would remain eternally loyal to him.

"Sir Ying Shan Xue Ying, please wait here momentarily." The manager led Xue Ying into a resting hall, "In a while, the Heart of Desire will be sent over."

"Alright." Xue Ying sat down cross-legged. He was enjoying the excellent wine that was warmed to the right temperature in front of him.

Just a moment later.

The black-robed manager entered once again. He flipped his hand, causing a wooden cane to appear in front of Xue Ying. This wooden cane was embedded with a palm-sized black stone.

"Can I have a closer look at it?" Xue Ying asked.

"Naturally." The black-robed manager smiled. Ordinary Primal Chaos experts were not qualified to take a closer look at treasures worth over 10 billion cosmos crystals, but Xue Ying was absolutely not categorized in the former.

Xue Ying held onto this seemingly ordinary cane. Xue Ying then turned is attention to that black stone embedded on it. Just merely gazing at it, Xue Ying could feel a strong, alluring power coming from the 'black stone', forcing him to stare at it unknowingly. It felt as if the stone wanted to pull him into a dream, though Xue Ying was an expert that reached the ninth level realm in the Mirage and Illusory realm Dao, and was able to easily maintain his consciousness.

"Weng."

He permeated his consciousness into it.

The black stone was the true 'Heart of Desire'. The wooden cane was meant to protect this black stone.

"Dong dong…"

At that moment when Xue Ying cast his consciousness into that black stone, he felt the stone expanding and contracting at the same time. It felt like a heartbeat. Xue Ying remained unmoved. Gradually, he 'saw' it. In that vast world filled with endless pink fog, many beings were reproducing and living within. Nevertheless, the desire of the creatures within this world was intense.

For the sake of love, hatred, greed, lust, pleasure, fright, happiness… all sorts of emotional desires caused the world to be filled with endless war.

"World."

"Desire."

Xue Ying revealed a joyous look.

After reaching the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, there were only several paths in the Void Lineage which led to the Cosmos God Realm. Xue Ying had grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique, and that was practically half of all available Dao paths.

Similar logic.

The Mirage and Illusory Realm had several branches too. Xue Ying primarily cultivated the branch of the 'world' and was also relatively good in the 'slaughter' path. After all, his 'Nine-petaled Flower' was a horrifying killing move condensed directly from the Mirage and Illusory Realm world with part of the profound mysteries from the Dao of Slaughter being added to it.

'There are primarily two branches in the Heart of Desire. One is on the Path of the World and the other on the Path of Desire.' Xue Ying thought.

'Desire' was also another commonly seen branch in the aspect of Mirage and Illusory realm.

By immersing into one's desire, one would similarly be falling deep into an illusion…

'This treasure is not bad.' Xue Ying felt relatively joyful, 'There is the Path of World inherent within. I believe that I should be able to improve to the tenth level power shortly after comprehending it for a while. Furthermore, this treasure even guides me on my journey to the Cosmos God Realm! And the 'Path of Desire'… is something which I can cultivate after becoming a Cosmos God."

"Dong."

Xue Ying placed the wooden cane on the table.

"Sir Ying Shan Xue Ying, how is it?" The manager chuckled and asked, albeit he was shocked inwardly. Xue Ying seemed not to be affected at all despite sending his consciousness in? Those with slightly weaker souls might be able to resist against the treasure, but they would still be influenced to a certain extent.

"Does Sir Ying Shan Xue Ying like this Heart of Desire?" The manager laughed.

Of course!

He liked it! This was a treasure that could allow him to rapidly grasp a tenth level Mirage and Illusory Realm technique, and it could similarly broaden his perspective by cultivating the 'Path of Desire'.

"How much?" Xue Ying asked.

The black-robed manager grinned, "20 billion cosmos crystals."

"Don't state the calling price. What is the lowest possible price?" Xue Ying asked directly.

"This is a weapon that contains two tenth level techniques." The black-robed manager said, "One is on desire, and the other is on the world. Using both profound mysteries together, even ordinary Cosmos Gods will find it hard to resist against this move. Even if they could, their strength would be greatly affected."

Xue Ying had to admit.

Both paths supported each other pretty well.

With the 'world', it was able to lure in the other party's soul, engulfing it into a world. For instance, Xue Ying's illusory realm could easily engulf those with weaker souls into it.

And with a similarly strong 'desire' technique, under the guidance of desire, it would greatly diminish the enemies' resisting power, causing them to fall deeper into the illusory realm. It would be a multitude times harder to struggle out of it then.

"Even though there are two tenth level techniques, one must be able to use them before it is even useful." Xue Ying said, "It is hard to grasp a single technique, what about two? Maybe a genius might have reached the pinnacle in both Dao paths in the 'Mirage and Illusory Realm' Lineage! But what are the possibilities of a genius popping up who reached the pinnacle in these two paths coincidentally?"

"As for those who broke through to the Cosmos Gods in the Mirage and Illusory Realm Lineage, they would not care that much about a tenth level grade secret treasure. After all, they could directly unleash tenth level move without relying on it." Xue Ying indifferently spoke, "However, given such a high price, there is no point in discussing further."

"The consignee has mentioned that the lowest price he could accept is 16 billion cosmos crystals." The black-robed manager answered.

"Then let him continue waiting further."

Xue Ying stood up.

"Rest assure, I'll ask the consignee again." The black-robed manager said.

"The secret treasure is not bad, just that its price is too much. There are a total of eight pieces sold to the public in the Realm Heart Great Land currently, and some are much cheaper than this. I'll go and have a look at the others." Xue Ying stood up and left. He did not wish to discuss further with the black-robed manager since the manager did not have the power to call the price. He was merely a middleman, and everything was determined by that consignee of the secret treasure.

Xue Ying traveled across the Realm Heart Great Land. At the same time when he visited different places to have a closer look at the Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures, he was also widening his experiences.

He had even paid a visit to Icy Snow Ancient Nation to see the gigantic cultivators there. In terms of 'body refining cultivation system', the Icy Snow Ancient Nation was unquestionably the strongest! Because the Icy Snow Ancient Nation had three old ancestors who reached the unparalleled realm. Those three old ancestors had reached the pinnacle in body cultivation, and hence, if one sought to cultivate a robust fleshy body, the religions from Icy Snow Ancient Nation would be the best bet. What a pity that the Icy Snow Ancient Nation was slightly more discriminatory to those from outside the nation.

'There is just one last piece left.'

Slightly more than two months later.

Xue Ying arrived at the Thistle Flower Nation once again. That secret treasure in the capital of the Thistle Flower Nation had become the final one which he would be checking out.

Of all the secret treasures which he inspected, the cheapest cost 8.5 billion cosmos crystals and the most expensive reached a high of 16 billion cosmos crystals. Currently, Xue Ying felt the most tempted with that 'Heart of Desire', yet it's a pity that the price of that treasure was lowered only to 15 billion cosmos crystals currently. This price was a great burden to him. Xue Ying could barely afford it only after exchanging all the '60,000 contribution points' his teacher gave him into cosmos crystals.

By then, his avatar could no longer cultivate the Southern Cloud Sacred Body.

"Sir Xue Ying." Within the Fan Clan shop in Thistle Flower Nation, under Xue Ying's request to keep his identity a secret, the manager brought him into a hall.

"This is the 'Devil Heart Bell'." The manager smiled as he placed a golden bell in front of Xue Ying.

Xue Ying stared at this golden bell in front of him. This was the final piece. After perusing through all the secret treasures sold to the public, he would soon be choosing the right one to buy.

He then casually took up this Devil Heart Bell.

Chapter 1070: Getting The Treasure

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Calmly sitting there, Xue Ying took over the Devil Heart Bell and sent his consciousness into it.

"Ding ding~"

The sweet-sounding ringing sound suddenly echoed in the mind of Xue Ying, causing him to feel a jolt in his concentration. He felt bliss in his soul. Even as an expert who cultivated the Mirage and Illusory Realm to the pinnacle of Primal Chaos realm, he could not help but feel himself relaxing slightly.

Following that, his consciousness began permeating deeper into the bell.

Within the little bell, there was a huge vast world. The surface of this world was covered in white fog, with many scenes emerging and vanishing within. It caused Xue Ying to feel the desire to jump into them. Xue Ying even saw his wife 'Jing Qiu' within the scenes that were emerging and vanishing. He saw his daughter and his teacher Gu Qi who died…

Accompanied by some of the white fog that enticed Xue Ying, the vast world deep in the Devil Heart Bell was also evolving. It developed and formed Jing Qiu, Dong Bo Yu, Qing Yao, Chi Qiu Bai, his teacher Bloodshed God Emperor, Gu Qi, and others.

'This treasure is so formidable!' Xue Ying might feel his heart desire deepening over time, but his realm was extraordinary too. This Devil Heart Bell was not being controlled by an owner, so Xue Ying could still maintain control of himself.

'This is also a treasure with two Dao paths.'

'One is on 'Bewilderment', and the other is on the 'world'.'

Xue Ying felt delighted in his heart.

The Mirage and Illusory Realm had several Dao paths. He had inspected a total of eight secret treasures one after another, with half of them on the 'world' aspect. After all, for an illusory realm to be sufficiently effective, it had to form a world that seemed real! Illusions that were not 'sufficiently real', would not be able to effectively engulf ultra-strong experts within.

As for other Dao paths, like the 'Bewilderment', 'Desire', 'Slaughter' and 'Fantasy', they represented different directions of the Mirage and Illusory Realm.

There were a total of two that contained the 'world' path and another Dao path—Devil Heart Bell and the Heart of Desire.

'Both the Devil Heart Bell and Heart of Desire are appropriate for me.' Xue Ying made his decision.

Of the eight secret treasures, both the Devil Heart Bell and the Heart of Desire were ranked first.

"Sir Xue Ying, how is it?" That manager saw Xue Ying placing the Devil Heart Bell down before asking it with a smile.

"This secret treasure is not bad. How is the price?" Xue Ying asked.

"16 billion cosmos crystals!" The manager said.

Xue Ying made his decision there and then.

He had decided almost instantaneously that the treasure he would be purchasing would be this Heart of Desire! As for that Devil Heart Bell, despite negotiating several times, the price was still fixed at 15 billion cosmos crystals, and that was too high.

"It's too expensive." Xue Ying shook his head, "Even though it has two Dao paths, how many cultivators are there who could utilize them fully?"

"There are ultimately some." The manager grinned.

"If this is the price, then we can just let the owner of the secret treasure wait for the appropriate customer." Xue Ying stood up.

The manager immediately chuckled after seeing that: "Sir Xue Ying doesn't have to be overly anxious. The lowest price over at our side is 15 billion cosmos crystals, and Sir Xue Ying still thinks of negotiating it further. That would depend on the consignee then."

"The price is still relatively on the higher side. I'll have a look at other secret treasures since there are a total of eight pieces." Xue Ying smiled, "Even though I need the treasure, the price is a critical consideration too."

"Relax, relax, I'll definitely help SIr Xue Ying and lower the price to the furthest." The manager added.

It would be hugely beneficial to him if he could sell a piece.

After all, 10 billion cosmos crystals were something this shop earned after so many years because this price was something only that 'Thistle Flower King' from the Thistle Flower Nation could afford.

After all, this manager was not sure how much Xue Ying liked this secret treasure.

After finishing checking out all eight secret treasures, Xue Ying continued strolling around the Realm Heart Great Land. He would travel around and enjoy the delicacies and drinks from all over the place. He would continue to negotiate further with the owner of that secret treasure.

"I've already chosen the other secret treasure that I would be buying if this price isn't lowered further."

"Three days! I'll decide after three days to purchase it."

"No other choice. It seems I have no fate with this secret treasure."

Xue Ying continued negotiating with the owners of the secret treasures through the managers from the eight different locations.

He was continuing to give them pressure.

Three months after finishing inspecting all secret treasures, Xue Ying finally made his final decision. He even returned to the Southern Cloud Nation again to exchange 10,000 contribution points for one billion cosmos crystals.

"Hu."

Thistle Flower Capital.

A white-robed young man was walking in the Thistle Flower Capital. He felt casual at this moment.

'I am really fated with this Thistle Flower Nation. It seems I am back here again. That time, I had decided that the third secret treasure I would be inspecting is the Devil Heart Bell, yet I revealed my identity because of my actions, causing me to delay it until it became the last treasure I inspected. Nevertheless, I still chose it in the end.' Xue Ying chuckled. His figure suddenly turned illusory, and he disappeared. The next moment, he arrived within the Fan Clan shop in the Thistle Flower Capital.

"Are the 13.6 billion cosmos crystals accounted for?" Xue Ying sat there looking at the manager.

"They are, they are!" The eyes of the manager were filled with great enthusiasm. He passed the Devil Heart Bell over to Xue Ying, "Right now, this secret treasure is Sir Xue Ying's."

"Mn."

Xue Ying suppressed his excitement. He took over this piece of Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure.

For the 13.6 billion cosmos crystals…

He spent almost all his effort.

The Sky Sword Dao redeemed Thunder King Mo Chao and his two secret treasures for eight billion cosmos crystals. He had exchanged his contribution points for another four billion cosmos crystals. As for the remaining, one part had come from Thunder King Mo Chaos' storage treasure which he saved up for many years. All those precious materials added up to a total of about one billion cosmos crystals. And the final part was when Xue Ying killed Chang Su Wang and those Primal Chaos Devils who ran rampant in the Ardent Fire City. These treasures added up to about one billion cosmos crystals too.

After gathering all his riches, he was able to finally gather 13.6 billion cosmos crystals. Xue Ying even mortgaged those Void Lineage inspect corpses of his for a price 85% that of what he bought them for!

Currently, Xue Ying had barely 300 million cosmos crystals at hand.

'I've practically spent finished all my savings.' Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

To this, he still felt relatively satisfied.

After all, those treasures and cosmos crystals could not transform into strength! This Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure could instead greatly improve his strength! By then, he would stand unparalleled across all tenth level experts. Even when facing against Cosmos Gods, a tenth level Mirage and Illusory Realm technique would greatly reduce their strength! When those Cosmos Gods faced with another horrifying 'Five Phases Sealing Technique', they would likely be suppressed.

The usage of these two great techniques had greatly improved Xue Ying's strength.

Furthermore, he still had another 20,000 contribution points which were enough to train the Southern Cloud Sacred Body to the pinnacle for his other avatar, increasing his survivability. In Xue Ying's plan, it was okay if the avatar of his was good at surviving.

Below the Cosmos God Realm, the Southern Cloud Sacred Body could reach tenth level grand perfection at most.

If he succeeded to become a Cosmos God, there was still an 11th and 12th level! These were body cultivation techniques that the Southern Cloud Sacred Master personally created. It was considered quite an incredibly strong survival cultivation technique in tier two and three nations. Of course, compared to the six great ancient nations, it was still slightly lacking.

"Hu."

Xue Ying felt joyous. He casually returned to the Southern Cloud Nation. But just before he even entered his Flying Snow City, he received the voice transmission from his teacher.

"Xue Ying." The voice sounded by Xue Ying's ears, "Remember, if the Fan Clan comes to find your help, you must not accept it directly."

Chapter 1071: Upper Honored Guest

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Xue Ying was momentarily stunned. He stepped on the void and looked down at the Flying Snow City. At the same time, he asked: "Teacher, why should I not promise them directly?"

Just like previously when he wanted to inspect the Scarlet Cloud God Spear spearhead, a single word from Fan Tian Chong permitted Xue Ying to view it. Even though the spearhead merely cost a few hundred million cosmos crystals, just 'observing' it once did not require much favor! But no matter what, the other party allowed Xue Ying to inspect it due to friendship. If others asked Xue Ying for help, and the benefits were sufficiently high, he had no reasons to decline them.

"Of the Black Devil Four Nations, other than that Snow Hook King, the others would likely give some respect to the Fan Clan right?" Xue Ying replied.

Black Devil Great Lake relied on killing to terrorize the Black Devil Four Nations.

And the Fan Clan… relied on an abnormally horrifying strength to ensure none of the Black Devil Four Nations dare to defy them. Even in the Snow Hook Nation, it was just the Snow Hook King who was unbridled. His subordinates usually gave respect to the Fan Clan.

The Fan Clan was none other than the crownless king in the region of Black Devil Four Nations!

Actually, it wasn't just the Black Devil Four Nations. Like the nine countries north of Summer Wind Ancient Nation and the neighboring tier two and three nations, they were all within the region of influence by the Fan CLan! More importantly, it was because of scorn from 'Cang Clan' and 'Summer Clan' towards other nations, and only the Fan Clan was willing to take in experts from all over the place.

Even though the Moonflower Ancient Nation and Towering Sky Ancient Nation had tried permeating into the surrounding countries, their influencing power was far lacking compared to the Fan Clan.

"If I am not wrong, Fan Tian Chong will be coming over to find you during this period." Southern Cloud King transmitted, "But it is impossible for him to give you a good condition since he couldn't! If he represented the Fan Clan to ask you for help, you should say… that you require the identity of an 'Upper Honored Guest' and 10,000 contribution points after the matter ends!"

"Upper Honored Guest identity? 10,000 contribution points?" Xue Ying began hyperventilating.

He was one of the core members of the Southern Cloud Nation and understood many matters. The Fan Clan would usually either absorb experts from outside directly into their core power! Or they accepted them as Guest, Honored Guest, and Honored Guest Elder identities.

Guests were of the lowest ranking. These Guests had to completely follow the orders of the Fan Clan.

Honored Guests were much better, though the restrictions on them remained great.

Upper Honored Guests! That was comparatively less restrictive.

The highest possible identity outsiders could have in the Fan Clan was the 'Honored Guest Elder' rank! In terms of rank, the Honored Guest Elders were equivalent to elders of the Fan Clan, albeit they did not have real power. Xue Ying's teacher, the 'Southern Cloud King' was an Honored Guest Elder of the Fan Clan! Honored Guest Elders had comparatively more freedom. Usually, they would not participate in affairs of the Fan Clan.

Only when there were extremely crucial affairs for the Fan Clan would 'Ancestor Fan' gave an order to mobilize these Honored Guest Elders! Others were not permitted to give an order.

"Teacher, the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion once passed me relevant intelligence, of which Fiery Zhao King and Maple Nest King are both merely Upper Honored Guests of the Fan Clan." Xue Ying felt startled. He transmitted a question, "I am only at the Primal Chaos Realm. Am I qualified to receive the Upper Honored Guest identity too?"

"Haha, don't belittle yourself! Given your strength, it is certain for you to become a Cosmos God! The moment you break through and improve the Five Phases Sealing Technique to a higher level, by then, you won't be any weaker than the two of them!" Southern Cloud King transmitted.

Of the kings from the Black Devil Four Nations…

The Southern Cloud King and Snow Hook King were both legendary characters famous across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. They could both survive under the pursue of unparalleled existences.

The Fiery Zhao King and Maple Nest King were comparatively weaker, but they far surpassed ordinary Cosmos Gods. As the Fiery Zhao Nation was too close to the Black Devil Great Lake, it had become the backyard of the Black Devil Great Lake and was often rife with killing. In the case of Maple Nest Nation, they instead relied entirely on the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. The reason why these tier two countries did so was ultimately that they lacked power.

'After I became a Cosmos God, it should be relatively easy for me to ask for the identity of an Upper Honored Guest. But now when I have yet to breakthrough… Furthermore, I should ask for another 10,000 contribution points?' Xue Ying remained speechless.

10,000 contribution points?

Within the system of the Fan Clan's honored guests, 10,000 contribution points could be exchanged for 10 billion cosmos crystals! More importantly, experts would disdain to exchange them for cosmos crystals because they would not decide to rely on the Fan Clan merely for the sake of these riches! Instead, those Honored Guests would depend on the 'contribution points' to exchange for some secret impartation scriptures which were put available by the Fan Clan for the Honored Guests.

Even though the Fan Clan would not let outsiders learn their core scriptures, just allowing outsiders to learn part of what they had sufficed in making experts from all around the world cry with joy! How deep was the foundation of the Fan Clan? Just part of it exceeded what the Southern Cloud Nation had.

"It is definitely impossible for this to happen on regular occasions. But now, they will definitely agree to your requests." The Southern Cloud King transmitted, "This implicates the internal battle between the three great clans of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. In a while when they accept your conditions, you will understand everything."

"I understand." Xue Ying replied.

"You only have to call out your conditions. By then, just inform me about that matter, and I'll pitch in as well." The Southern Cloud King said, "It is not easy to earn 10,000 contribution points even if you become a Comsos God."

Xue Ying nodded in agreement.

How many treasures could a Cosmos God save over the years? How much contribution points could he earn from participating in a single mission?

The Fan Clan would usually reward Cosmos Gods with several hundred contribution points in every mission. Even those at the level of the Fiery Zhao King and Maple Nest King would typically earn several thousand once a task was completed. Furthermore, such opportunities were rare. Usually, the Fan Clan would handle the matter within themselves. Often, those that required these Honored Guests to act were severe matters to which they did not have sufficient experts.

This time, the Southern Cloud King reminded Xue Ying to ask the Fan Clan for both the Upper Honored Guest identity and 10,000 contribution points… which was something that astonished Xue Ying.

Xue Ying descended from the sky. He stepped on the void, and after taking a few steps, he arrived within his own residence in the Flying Snow City. His residence was built for kings. His current conferred title was 'King Flying Snow."

"Grandpa King."

"Grandpa King."

Many servants and protectors were respectful when they saw Xue Ying. Their eyes were filled with worship and respect. After all, Xue Ying was a legendary existence within the entire history of Southern Cloud Nation.

"My son!" Ying Shan Lie Hu excitedly came over to welcome him. Rong Xing Lan was beside him. She smiled at Xue Ying, "Xue Ying, it has been a long time since you returned. Your father and I have heard of your matter at the Fiery Zhao Nation."

"That's right! What was that move? According to hearsay, you actually took down that so-called Thunder King from the Sky Sword Nation with one single move?" Ying Shan Lie Hu asked excitedly.

Xue Ying nodded.

It might seem like a single move on the surface, but in reality, the Five Phases Sealing Technique was the perfect fusion and utilization of five different tenth level Void Lineage techniques simultaneously. It was stronger than how many other combat formations operated. In terms of its profound mysteries, it could even seal space, preventing the other party from escaping using the Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique! Furthermore, the complete power from the seal was practically equivalent to suppressing an expert using an independent space. This power could smash ordinary tenth level experts to death.

Those who survived would be trapped in the Five Phase Beads!

Hence, the moment Xue Ying succeeded in grasping this technique, he would naturally become famous across the Realm Heart Great Land. This was also the reason why Southern Cloud King felt the Fan Clan would invite Xue Ying for help.

"Sister, come and have a taste. This is a great wine which I brought back from the Primogenitor Ancient Nation."

Xue Ying first accompanied his family to drink and eat. They also chatted for half a day. After all, his family understood the outside world too briefly.

Closely following that, Xue Ying announced that he would be entering closed-door cultivation.

"If there are no important matters, don't disturb me at all when I am in closed-door cultivation. If the Fan Clan comes, just send me a message." Xue Ying ordered.

"Yes, Master." The magic dragon obediently replied. Its colossal body lay just outside the towering Void God Pagoda entrance.

Xue Ying then entered the pagoda and began studying the 'Devil Heart Bell'.

Time passed. Even though Southern Cloud King mentioned that the Fan Clan would come, in reality, when Fan Tian Chong reached the Flying Snow City, it had been 30,000 years or so after Xue Ying entered closed-door cultivation.

Within the Void God Pagoda, seated on a huge floating rock, there was a white-robed young man with a golden bell floating beside him.

"Ding ding ding ding dang~"

The sound was beautiful. It reverberated within the god pagoda bringing with it a horrifying alluring effect.

"Master, Fan Tian Chong is here looking for Master."

"He is finally here."

Xue Ying opened his eyes and stood up. The golden bell floating beside him immediately flew down to his waist and slotted itself by it. Closely following that, it became concealed and disappeared from the naked eyes.

The Devil Heart Bell and the Five Phases Beads were usually hidden in his body when Xue Ying wasn't using them.

"Hong long long~"

The door of the God Pagoda began opening.

Xue Ying walked out of it.

Chapter 1072: Sky-Rending Great Paragon

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

Flying Snow City, within a garden inside the king's residence, delicious food and wine were being served. Xue Ying and Fan Tian Chong were currently chatting happily inside.

"The reason I came here is because there is good news I want to share with you, brother." Fan Tian Chong laughed. At the same time, he glanced at the group of beautiful female servants to the side.

"All of you, withdraw for now." Xue Ying immediately gave his order to the surrounding people.

"Yes, Grandpa King."

The group of beautiful female servants obediently answered. They immediately left the place in an orderly manner, leaving behind just Xue Ying and Fan Tian Chong in the garden.

The tall and plump body of Fan Tian Chong sat upright. He muttered in a low voice: "Younger Brother Xue Ying, my Fan Clan has an important matter which requires your participation. Do feel rest assure though that you are just one of the members participating in this affair. Furthermore, there are no risks at all to your life. Once you completed this mission, we can give you benefits worth a billion cosmos crystals. Hahaha… not only would you not be in danger. You will not be spending much time too as the duration of the entire event will not exceed a thousand years. There should not be any problem to for Younger Brother right?"

"Oh?" Xue Ying was listening attentively.

If his teacher had not warned him beforehand, a mission that did not consist of any life-threatening danger, and did not require much time with a benefit of one billion cosmos crystals was something Xue Ying would not decline. That was especially so since the Fan Clan invited him for his help and he was doing it partly due to the friendship with Fan Tian Chong too.

"Can you tell me more details regarding this? What exactly is it about?" Xue Ying asked.

"As you haven't agreed yet, I can't share any further details with you." Fan Tian Chong laughed, "Actually Younger Brother, this operation can be used as a form of training too. Haha, actually, I wish to participate! It's a pity though that nobody in the clan thought of me highly. Younger Brother has grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique, which is why you have been chosen as a canditate to participate in the mission. In a while after giving me your answer, you will naturally know everything after reaching the Summer Wind Ancient Nation. Rest assured though as we won't force you to do anything against the Southern Cloud Nation, and neither would we make things difficult for you whatsoever."

The conditions were excellent on the surface.

But it's a pity Xue Ying chose to decline it.

"I can agree to your request, but I want to raise a condition." Xue Ying said.

"Tell me more." Fan Tian Chong laughed. This was a solemn affair, to which his clan gave him the autonomy to increase the benefits!

"I require the assurance of becoming an 'Upper Honored Guest' within the Fan Clan, and a total of 10,000 contribution points once the mission is completed." Xue Ying said.

Fan Tian Chong was stunned. He looked at Xue Ying wide with eyes.

The lion had opened its maw!

It startled Fan Tian Chong so much that he fell into a daze.

"Younger Brother Xue Ying, do you know what it means to be an Upper Honored Guest? And do you know what 10,000 contribution points represented?" Fan Tian Chong could not help but blurt out, "The Fiery Zhao King and Maple Nest King are both merely Upper Honored Guest of my Fan Clan! Like your Senior Disciple Brother Monarch Greedy Peng, he is merely an Honored Guest. And you say you want to become an 'Upper Honored Guest'? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

Different ranks in the Honored Guest System of Fan Clan provided various benefits.

Not everyone was qualified to become an Upper Honored Guest.

"Yes." Xue Ying nodded, "I know of it."

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible." Fan Tian Chong shook his head, "I can tell you this upfront that it is impossible for my clan to accept such exaggerated demands of yours. Being the manager of my clan at the branch in the Southern Cloud Nation, we will definitely be interacting a lot in the future. Hence, I will not deceive you–what I can give you most is the identity of an Honored Guest and 2,000 contribution points! That is the limit."

"Upper Honored Guest, 10,000 contribution points." Xue Ying said.

"Ai, you are truly…" Fan Tian Chong felt helpless.

"Brother Tian Chong, I have given my conditions. You should contact the higher-ups of your clan. Who knows if they might agree to it?" Xue Ying chuckled.

"Alright alright alright." Fan Tian Chong shook his head after seeing that, "I'll report upwards now. But honestly, your conditions are way too excessive."

Xue Ying was instead contacting his teacher Southern Cloud King in the dark.

His teacher had said it.

Once he started discussing with Fan Tian Chong about this matter, he had to inform his teacher, and his teacher would help him handle this affair.

"Teacher, I have already mentioned it to Fan Tian Chong. He said that it is impossible that the higher-ups of his clan will agree to it." Xue Ying transmitted back.

"Alright. Since you already mentioned the conditions, let me handle the matter from now on. Oh right, have you grasped the Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure already and can unleash tenth level power with it?" Southern Cloud King asked.

"I have done so." Xue Ying replied.

He originally created the Illusory Realm in the past without guidance from other sources.

Hence, of the two great moves imbued in the Heart Devil Bell, Xue Ying naturally first deduced the tenth level move in the World aspect. As for the 'Bewilderment' path of this lineage, even though Xue Ying was absolutely talented in the Mirage and Illusory Realm, and that he had some comprehension regarding this aspect in the past, he had merely reached the eighth level standard currently. By relying on the Heart Devil Bell, he could only unleash power at the ninth level.

"Alright. It is good that you grasped it. Otherwise, I might have to activate some Time Treasure to ensure you grasp it as soon as possible." Southern Cloud King became joyous, "Since you have grasped the Mirage and Illusory Realm tenth level technique, the Fan Clan will definitely agree to it."

Fan Tian Chong reported upwards. The one he was informing was his teacher, the 'Sky-Rending Great Paragon'.

Sky-Rending Great Paragon had an extremely high status in the Fan Clan. Being one of the few Great Paragons, he was only second to Ancestor Fan. That time, he had transformed 99 subordinates of his into the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods! He was not only strong personally, but was also good at refining magic servants. He excelled even in nurturing his subordinates! Like for instance, other powerful Cosmos Gods might not be able to turn a bunch of ordinary Primal Chaos experts to the tenth level power, but he could! The Hundred-Battle Devil Gods were prime testaments to it!

Hence, within the Fan Clan, his power and influence were both tremendous!

"Sky-Rending Great Paragon."

"Haha, Brother Southern Cloud."

Two consciousness traveled across a vast distance before colliding into each other.

Even under the grandeur of the unparalleled existences, these two were absolute overlords across the Realm Heart Great Land. Southern Cloud King was an extreme expert in the Void Lineage. Being strong was one aspect, he had many avatars too and had incredibly strong survival capabilities! Some avatars had even utilized the 'Great Destructive Realm Teleportation Technique' and teleported to other Origin Worlds! Hence, it was practically impossible to kill him. This was one of the reasons why he could seize virtually all benefits gathered from the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion without it being snatched. Unlike the Sky Sword King who as a result, was squeezed dry by the Summer Wind Ancient Nation and Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

"Are your Fan Clan going to enter another competition with the Summer Clan and Cang Clan?" Southern Cloud King transmitted, "According to my understanding, your clan has already lost five consecutive times already? If you were defeated again, it'd be the sixth consecutive defeat! And that has never happened in the history of your Fan Clan right?"

"Why? Because of this, you think your disciple is qualified to demand so many benefits?" Sky-Rending Great Paragon's voice transmitted through his consciousness, "I am clear of what you are thinking. You want to make use of this opportunity to accumulate as much contribution points as possible so that your disciple could exchange powerful secret impartation techniques and powerful treasures from my Fan Clan. Am I right?"

"Right right right!"

Southern Cloud King laughed, "I believe you all will agree to it."

"You are wrong! Hmph, there are so many tenth level experts in my Fan Clan, of which there are quite a few who are extremely powerful. For instance, some who specialized in other Dao paths, I can help them form the 'Combat Magic Body' that would allow their strength to soar. Furthermore, there are quite a few geniuses within the nation too! After being nurtured by us, I believe there are even more experts here." Sky-Rending Great Paragon said.

"Haha, I forgot to tell you this. Xue Ying has recently acquired a Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasure. Currently, he can unleash illusory realms at the tenth level." Southern Cloud King transmitted.

Sky-Rending Great Paragon was stunned.

His consciousness turned silent for a while.

Mirage and Illusory Realm technique? Tenth level technique? That was a technique which dealt against the soul. No matter what secret treasure was applied, Primal Chaos experts were ultimately at the Primal Chaos Realm. Without secret treasures, they would remain at the ninth level power. Facing against a tenth level illusory realm secret treasure that dealt against the soul, the cultivator would practically be unparalleled! Unless the opponent was one of the exceptionally few who specialized in the soul and only then was it possible for him to resist.

But!

If it were merely a Mirage and Illusory Realm tenth level move, Xue Ying would just be close to being unparalleled within the Primal Chaos Realm!

Using it together with the overbearing 'Five Phases Sealing Technique' that was incredibly strong in direct combat, Xue Ying would hence have no enemies at his level!

There might be some exceptions in the history which could still compete against Xue Ying, but those absolute geniuses would have long broken through to the Cosmos God Realm! Even Xue Ying was very close to becoming a Cosmos God. And now, Sky-Rending Great Paragon felt that it was hard to even find an enemy at the Primal Chaos Realm.

'An absolute victory for us.' Sky-Rending Great Paragon felt his heart wavering, 'What a Ying Shan Xue Ying. It is fine for him to grasp the near unparalleled technique, the 'Five Phases Sealing Technique' alone. He had similarly grasped another near unparalleled technique, the Mirage, and Illusory Realm tenth level technique. This talent and comprehension ability means that it is certain for him to break through to the Cosmos God Realm in the future. The moment he trained and accumulated slightly more experience, he would not be any weaker than Fiery Zhao King and the others. Mn, it is fine for me to simply confer him with the Upper Honored Guest identity earlier! Since he'll secure a victory for us, it is fine for us to give him 10,000 contribution points too!'

10,000 contribution points weren't considered anything to the Fan Clan.

But with how big their clan and business was, it was impossible for them to be so wasteful. They had to go through many rounds of determination within their clan to see if it was 'worth or not worth' the price.

Clearly, Xue Ying who merely grasped the Five Phases Sealing Technique wasn't worth the price. But now, he was worth it!

"Brother Southern Cloud, so it seems you have kept been keeping this secret from us. Alright, I'll permit this matter then." Sky-Rending Great Paragon said. Currently, the Fan Clan was temporarily being commandeered by the Sky-Rending Great Paragon. After all, strength did not represent the ability to manage the clan too. Amongst the great paragons, Sky-Rending Great Paragon was the one who specialized most in commandeering others and being the manager.

Flying Snow City, within the king's residence, in the garden.

Fan Tian Chong was currently eating and chatting with Xue Ying.

"Younger Brother Xue Ying, seeing that we are brothers, I would like to remind you that it is fine for you to request for a condition representative of your ability. Given the disposition of the Fan Clan, if you were to demand something beyond your capabilities, they might just tear apart the conditions originally reserved for you and invite other experts instead. There are quite a few suitable experts in the Realm Heart Great Land that we can still hire." Fan Tian Chong reiterated. Suddenly, his expression froze.

He had just gotten the transmission from his teacher: "You can promise him the conditions. Bring him over to the capital."

Fan Tian Chong looked at Xue Ying in a daze.

"Why?" Xue Ying asked.

"He actually agreed to your conditions?" Fan Tian Chong looked at Xue Ying with an extreme startle, "Why would he?"

Xue Ying smiled.

"No wonder you dared to raise such conditions. It seems the Southern Cloud King is plotting behind our back?" Fan Tian Chong stood up, "I do not care about what exchange or trade there is between the Southern Cloud King and my teacher. Since they agreed to it, I shall bring you to my Summer Wind Capital. If there aren't any matters, how about, we set off now?"

"Alright." Xue Ying nodded, "Let us set off now."
