His voice was still reverberating.
When Xue Ying had already executed the Void Devil Insect Scripture and flew over. With a spear in his hand, Xue Ying charged right at Devil Heart Cultist Master.
“You came at the right moment!” Devil Heart Cultist Master could feel the bellyful of stifle exploding at this moment. Extending both his arms, he immediately produced endless frost that submerged Xue Ying. Every single inch of space was being frozen. On the surface of Devil Heart Cultist Master’s body, a layer of frost had formed. This frost energy was clearly more tyrannical than Bat Mountain Master’s.
Xue Ying immediately felt that things were amiss before he even encountered the frost energy. He understood that he must not be ‘frozen’ and immediately swiped his spear out.
“Hua hua hua.”
The spearhead revolved about an arc, forming waves of energy. Layer and layer of spatial fluctuation spread out in all directions, blocking against the incoming frost energy! This was much more formidable than the survival technique Xue Ying created in the past, the ‘Myriad Realms Movement Technique’. This newly-created technique absorbed some of the profound mysteries in <Realmless> . In addition to his current realm, that was how he could execute this spear technique.
That frost energy became greatly weakened as it moved through the layers of spatial fluctuation. When it reached Xue Ying, even though the frost energy was still powerful, the damage dealt to Xue Ying’s Chaotic Origin Refined Body that was voidified could be neglected.
“What.” Devil Heart Cultist Master’s expression changed. This God Emperor Flying Snow could actually resist against his frost energy directly.
“Sou.”
Xue Ying killed his way over. He abruptly pierced out his spear after a whirlwind cut right at Devil Heart Cultist Master.
Devil Heart Cultist Master felt the void turning distorted before him. He had a feeling that this spear could not be evaded: ‘I don’t care! Get destroyed by me!’ Devil Heart Cultist Master punched out a destructive force with both his fists. It was to the extent that both his fists turned crimson. As his fists were punched out ahead of him, they became bigger, turning just like two tiny hills that boomed out when they met against the incoming spear.
Xue Ying was clear that how amazing the fleshy body of this Devil Heart Cultist Master is. Previously, the other party had easily destroyed the city-protective array with just one single hand of his.
But Xue Ying had longed for an opponent to test his techniques ever since he started cultivating in High Mountain City!
“Hong!”
The spear pierced against the two hill-like fists.
“Mn?” Xue Ying’s expression changed. He felt a frightening force transmitting through his spear onto his body. Despite being weakened by his void-ification, this force still came in waves just like an erupting volcano. Xue Ying was forced backwards uncontrollably, stopping only after he flew back for a few hundred meters.
His color became uglier. Opening his mouth, he spurt out blood that was imbued with flames.
‘This fleshy body of mine is merely at the Early Stage God Emperor level. By relying on the profoundness of my techniques, I was able to better utilize my energy. That is how I can deal against the killing techniques executed with flaws by the enemy. When dealing with enemies at the same level, I could kill them easily as a result. But when I am fighting against a Middle Stage God Emperor, even though the other party might be crude in the way he utilized his techniques, his strength was originally high in the first place. Hence, the final result is still me losing out.’ Xue Ying thought.
“Mn?” And Devil Heart Cultist Master who stood in midair without moving was similarly feeling unpleasant. That spear executed by Xue Ying was the killing technique that he used in dealing against ‘God Emperor Piercing Wind’. It disregarded the defenses and went directly into the body of Devil Heart Cultist Master. The surging ripples were constantly amplifying in his body, and they converged together to a limit before exploding!
Just like God Emperor Piercing Wind’s ‘Thousand-Legged Insect Body’ that exploded inwardly.
Even though Devil Heart Cultist Master’s fleshy body was stronger––both inside and outside––the explosion that occurred within his body still made Devil Heart Cultist Master feel sweetness in his throat. He forced back that mouthful of blood back into his stomach.
‘My Frost Protection could not defend against his attack at all.’ Devil Heart Cultist Master thought. His frost layer covering his body was also the strongest defensive technique he had. Facing against a technique that disregarded the frost layer totally, he finally understood how ruthless and unfathomable the techniques of an Ascendant God Emperor were.
“Come again.” Devil Heart Cultist Master roared out.
“Sure.” Xue Ying similarly went forward.
This time, Xue Ying would not fight head-on so foolishly. He executed his Void Devil Insect Scripture Technique, causing his body to turn blurry. Xue Ying then went around Devil Heart Cultist Master and maximized the advantage of his movement technique to sneak more attacks against the enemy! Various Dao of Void techniques were executed one after another as Xue Ying attempted to find the most effective technique against Devil Heart Cultist Master. And Devil Heart Cultist Master was similarly engaging Xue Ying with all his strength. This time, he lost two God Emperors. No matter what, he could not let things go easily.
“Hong hong hong~”
Devil Heart Cultist Master was incomparably frenzied. Surrounding him, the frost energy spread out wildly. Yet his arms, legs and other parts of his body were creating a terrifying blazing energy.
“Die!”
Devil Heart Cultist Master was completely mad. He had even turned himself into a giant of several kilometers tall. His palms slapped out at the ant-like Xue Ying. With one strike, one palm of his was filled with frost and the other palm filled with blazing heat. This fusion strike created a loud boom that shook the entire High Mountain City. Devil Heart Cultist Master was also forced into an anxious situation. Even though enlarging his body made him stronger by five times, his speed and soul strength were clearly compromised. For the sake of winning, Devil Heart Cultist Master was doing all he could.
…
“This, this…”
The other experts were watching the gigantic ‘Devil Heart Cultist Master’ fight against Xue Ying. Devil Heart Cultist Master had already flew out of the region where the arrays of the Imperial Wind Clan covered. Because he would be suppressed by the energy of the array if he stayed within.
All the experts in the residence of Imperial Wind Clan felt their hearts trembling.
‘He is indeed a God Emperor that ranked in the top 1,000.’ Imperial Wind High Mountain felt his heart trembling, ‘If not for God Emperor Flying Snow, I doubt I could survive after ten or so breaths of time under the onslaught of Old Thief Devil Heart even if I had the help from my arrays.’
“This is Brother Flying Snow?” Bat Mountain Master felt nervous, “I, I, Bat Mountain, actually dispatched some experts to assassinate Brother Flying Snow?”
He felt a wave of lingering fear!
Fortunately, he challenged God Monarch Flying Snow on the battle platform inside the Imperial Wind Clan residence! Where it was forbidden to kill! And it was fortunate he actually made amends and apologized to the other party.
‘Damn that Tie Cheng Liu.’ At this moment, Bat Mountain Master could not help but curse a few sentences at Tie Cheng Liu who was dead.
“Teacher Flying Snow…” Imperial Wind Jin looked upwards and then at his little sister who stood by his side.
…
Currently, there were several other experts within High Mountain City that did not participate in the battle like Xing Pavilion Master from the Heaven’s Will Pavilion and God Monarch Chuang Qing from the branch team of Mysterious Fire Army who were watching the battle. They were looking at the towering giant above the residence of Imperial Wind Clan fight against God Emperor Flying Snow.
“Brother Flying Snow is actually this powerful. He shouldn’t be a God Monarch. He should be a God Emperor instead.” God Monarch Chuang Qing looked with a startle, “Indeed, he is an Ascendant God Emperor. Even though the commander of Devil Heart Cult has put in all his strength, Brother Flying Snow doesn’t seem to be on the losing end.”
And Xing Pavilion Master from the Heaven’s Will Pavilion watched from afar with a book in his hand. The book was naturally recording what was happening accompanied with many words.
Other than collecting information of various parties, the Heaven’s Will Pavilion was the one that established the ‘God Emperor Ranking List’.
Devil Heart Cultist Master was an expert on the ranking list. Hence, this battle was naturally important because it involved the movement of the rankings between God Emperors.
‘Who would have thought that there could actually be a huge battle happening in this small isolated city I am in, High Mountain City. And this battle requires me to be responsible for recording this battle that could possibly result in a change in the God Emperor Ranking List.’ Xing Pavilion Master was slightly nervous. As he recorded the scene of the battle, he was also recording what he saw, ‘God Emperor Flying Snow’s body technique is amazing. He is much faster than Devil Heart Cultist Master and completely grasped the initiative of the battle. He has many profound techniques too. Nonetheless, he is unable to deal against Devil Heart Cultist Master. But even though Devil Heart Cultist Master is pouring in his full strength, he could not hit God Emperor Flying Snow at all…’
The three fortuitous God Emperors of Devil Heart Cultist Master that had escaped high up into the sky had boarded the huge battleship. They stood on the deck of the battleship watching the battle happening below.
‘Almost, that was close.’ The three of them exchanged glances and felt the lingering fear. They did not dare to participate in the battle any longer because their combat formations were clearly useless against that God Emperor Flying Snow! God Emperor Flying Snow’s attacks could even ignore their defenses, directly transmitting into their bodies. They dared not test it out if they could survive.
Various parties were watching the battle with bated breaths.
And Devil Heart Cultist Master was already slightly frustrated now.
“Hou––” The gigantic Devil Heart Cultist Master opened his mouth, shooting out an icy-fire ball.
Xue Ying’s expression changed slightly. He immediately retreated. At the same time, he tapped out with his spear.
An unseen ripple clashed out against that icy-fire ball, causing it to explode with a huge boom!
‘Useless. Everything is useless. Even when I have manifested my body in an extreme state, allowing me to execute stronger techniques, I can’t hit him at all.’ Devil Heart Cultist Master felt incredibly frustrated at this moment. He originally felt that this God Emperor Flying Snow was too slippery. But after his transformation, this frustration became greater.
He felt sullen and unpleasant. At the same time, Xue Ying thought: ‘It seems that defeating a Middle Stage God Emperor using the fleshy body of an Early Stage God Emperor is impossible.’
That’s right too.
Nobody could do so in the entire Divine Realm!
Of course, it would be a different thing once he cast his Mirage and Illusory Realm technique. But that way, it would not be his Dao of Void strength. Furthermore, there were too many experts here. Devil Heart Cultist Master was also strong. Even if he could weaken the strength of the other party, he would not be able to cause his target to fall into oblivion! As long as the other party maintained a sliver of consciousness, he would be able to spread the news about his ‘Mirage and Illusory Realm technique’ out to the rest of the world.
Seeing how he caused a huge hullabaloo across the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range after he executed his Mirage and Illusory Realm technique.
In this world, if Xue Ying were to reveal his soul technique, he would definitely not have any peaceful days in the future! Furthermore, given that this world contained more experts, Xue Ying chose not to temporarily publicize his Mirage and Illusory Realm Technique.
“Sou.”
Devil Heart Cultist Master abruptly shrank once again. In the blink of an eye, he regained his original appearance.
He swept his gaze towards Imperial Wind High Mountain who stood in a distance before shouting out: “Imperial Wind High Mountain, you are really lucky! That there is an Ascendant God Emperor who is willing to help you. However, I do wish to see if this Ascendant is planning on staying in your High Mountain City forever!”
Imperial Wind High Mountain felt his heart trembling.
That’s right.
Why would an Ascendant God Emperor stay in a small city like his High Mountain City forever?
“Also God Emperor Flying Snow.” Devil Heart Cultist Master turned to Xue Ying before coldly laughing, “Very good. I can’t deal with you for now but I, Devil Heart, will etch this enmity in my heart forever. Hmph hmph.”
Angrily spitting, Devil Heart Cultist Master turned around and chose to leave.
“Are you thinking of leaving now?” Xue Ying started, “Becoming afraid after just a short while?”
“Afraid?”
Devil Heart Cultist Master’s indignance had reached a limit. He turned to Xue Ying. It was clear that he had a clear upperhand in this battle. Nonetheless, that Ascendant was too slippery.
But following that, Devil Heart Cultist Master’s expression changed greatly.
Because the aura of Xue Ying was rising! Previously, he was clearly an Early Stage God Emperor. But at this moment, both arms of Xue Ying were becoming thicker. Furthermore, many layers of black membrane started appearing on the surface of his arms. His aura became more violent and unstable. Xue Ying who owned a pair of thick arms was much more muscular now. His aura, wild and powerful––one that far surpassed what he had previously.
‘Unless he hasn’t showed his true strength just now?’ Devil Heart Cultist Master felt his heart trembling at this thought.
