Lord Xue Ying

“I lost.” Fan San Yuan walked back to his seat and sat down. He felt complicated.

He knew that his journey in the competition between the three clans had thus ended!

He did not get into the top three during the first round, and neither did he win the second round. It was only during the final round did he barely earn a golden cauldron–similar to that of King Sauron! Even Fan Mo Zhu received two golden cauldrons! As for ‘Fan Yi Qian’, he was still battling in the Eden World currently, and much less was needed to speak about Xue Ying.

‘I originally thought I could display my abilities during the competition between the three clans. What a pity that I could not even rank top five in this group of Primal Chaos experts.’ Fan San Yuan softly shook his head. Currently, he continued watching the battles happening within the Eden Worlds.

…

Xue Ying continued to have an easy time in his battle.

The Devil Heart Bell by his waist let out a sweet ringing sound which reverberated in the entire Eden World. This influenced both silver-armored soldiers, greatly diminishing the strength which they could display.

“Hong!”

The lump of cloud moved in turbulence, and lightning was fiercely discharging out.

The presence of both cloud and lightning even brought about some vague transformations. When the lightning struck out, even though every bolt was filled with destructive power, it was similarly filled with the aura of life…

Xue Ying even vaguely saw life forming in a cosmos when lightning struck…

‘Lightning can destroy worlds, yet it could create them too?’ Xue Ying chuckled. Even though this lightning was powerful, the Five Phases Sealing Technique easily resisted these bolts of lightning! After all, under the influence of the Devil Heart Bell, the two silver-armored soldiers could not fully unleash their strength.

“Destroy.”

Xue Ying extended his right hand.

The Five Phase Beads on his bracelet let out light. Xue Ying’s right hand expanded and covered the entire Eden World. Despite the seeming existence of gaps between his fingers, no holes could be found in space! It completely trapped and restricted all the lumps of cloud and lightning! Closely following that, Xue Ying’s large palm shrunk, suppressing the space within.

“Hong! Hong!”

As the two silver-armored soldiers struggled amidst the peals of ringing sound from the Devil Heart Bell and the illusory realm, it was near impossible for them to destabilize the Five Phases Sealed Space. They eventually dissipated from the incredible force.

After Xue Ying eliminated the second wave of enemies, he turned and looked out of the world.

‘Mn? It appears that Fan San Yuan and the others have been teleported out?’ Xue Ying discovered that amongst the Primal Chaos cultivators sent by the Fan Clan this time, other than himself, Fan Yi Qian was the only one left barely holding on.

As for the Cang Clan…

There was only General Xuan! Nevertheless, General Xuan remained unhurried. His violet brilliance shone across the Eden World, allowing his strength to grow indefinitely.

And the Summer Clan

Had three survivors still! Xia Fa Yang, Xia Cheng Yuan, and Xia Wu Hua.

Xia Fa Yang relied on his two great techniques on Heart and Array. He still had it relatively easily. After spending a little more time, he would eventually win.

And Xia Cheng Yuan continued singing his <Great Dao Song> and seemed to still have the upper hand.

Only Xia Wu Hua was having a hard time holding on amidst the berserk lightning.

‘Seems like both Fan Yi Qian and Xia Wu Hua are having a hard time.’ Xue Ying watched, ‘It is unknown if they could survive through the second round!’

“Yi Qian!”

Fan San Yuan and Fan Mo Zhu who were both teleported out watched nervously.

“Disappear! Dissipate!”

Fan Yi Qian was already in a frenzy. His bronze pole was imbued with destructive energy. Everywhere it passed produced lightning that exterminated the myriad existences! His pole could injure the two silver-armored soldiers that transformed into lightning and cloud. Nevertheless, when the cloud and lightning co-existed, Fan Yi Qian was the one who got hurt. Blood began trickling down the edge of his mouth, and his injuries were getting more substantial over time.

At this moment, Fan Yi Qian felt his ears ringing. He could only see bolts of lightning striking down in front of him.

‘No, I am unwilling! I am unreconciled…!’ Fan Yi Qian felt like he was a small boat amidst the storm, a feeling of helplessness which infuriated him!

“Sou.”

Suddenly, a strand of energy descended and engulfed Fan Yi Qian. It teleported him out.

Fan Yi Qian stood there by his table. There were no longer lightning surrounding him. He was still holding on to his bronze pole.

“I wasn’t able to win.” Fan Yi Qian lightly trembled. In the past, he was blindly confident of his incredible strength; he felt like he could sweep across the world! But just now, he experienced being amidst bolts of lightning that were more brutal, causing him to be utterly defeated.

‘Mn?’

At the highest position, Ancestor Fan looked down with a slight frown.

Of the five disciples from the Fan Clan, four had been teleported out. They each earned just a single golden cauldron! It seemed the Summer Clan’s overwhelming advantage was becoming more significant as ‘Xia Cheng Yuan’ and ‘Xia Fa Yang’ had both won!

…

Fan Yi Qian’s battle was ultimately very long. Other than ‘Xia Wu Hua’ who was seemingly having a hard time and was still battling, Xue Ying, General Xuan, Xia Fa Yang, and Xia Cheng Yuan had won.

‘I was a Cosmos God in my previous life! Even though I would lose my qualifications to participate in the competition between the three clans if I were to break through, but I actually lost to four juniors at the Primal Chaos Realm?’ Xia Wu Hua tried his best to fight on. If one said that Fan Yi Qian only knew brutal and oppressive attacks, Xia Wu Hua was more graceful and swam about as a ray of sword amidst the lightning.

Even though the whole world was filled with lightning strikes, they could not touch Xia Wu Hua at all!

And some thunderclaps were guided away by Xia Wu Hua with his sword techniques.

“Hua~”

The sword rays were like a celestial river. They wreaked havoc in the cloud lump. Xia Wu Hua did not care about those rays produced by the sword. Instead, he concentrated on striking the cloud that permeated across the entire world.

‘My body cultivation is not strong enough. I have to do my best and evade from the incoming attacks.’ Xia Wu Hua exerted his body cultivation to the limit. He tried his best to dodge the incoming lightning, yet there were too many bolts, and those bolts were too violent. The power reached an exaggerated stage that despite trying his best to defend himself using the sword lights, Xia Wu Hua’s body was still corroded from the attacks.

“Hong!”

Eventually, the cloud withdrew and transformed back into a silver-armored soldier. Its aura had become relatively feeble. Clearly, it no longer dared to resist against the sword rays directly.

Without its help, the power of the thunder became weaker–about 20-30% its original strength.

“Good.”

“What a beautiful execution.”

“We are about to win.” Many Cosmos Gods from the Summer Clan were shouting out praises.

The Cang Clan was still relatively calm since the gap between Cang Clan and Summer Clan was too big, and they no longer had any hope. Instead, the majority of Cosmos Gods from the Fan Clan were ugly. Before Xia Wu Hua won, the Fan Clan could still hope extravagantly. But now? It seemed they no longer had any hope!

Even though Xia Wu Hua was already heavily injured, he could still easily defeat the silver-armored soldiers.

“The cultivators participating in this competition between the three clans are powerful.”

“There are actually five who won the second wave. Previously, there was only two right? It has been a long time since so many formidable juniors appear in the same generation.”

The Cosmos Gods were exclaiming in admiration.

It was typical for two to three cultivators to succeed through the second wave. There were even the occasional extreme geniuses that emerged in an era’s competition between the three clans who could win four waves at the Primal Chaos Realm.

…

Xue Ying solemnly looked in front as the third wave of enemies had descended.

The surging aura condensed into a single silver-armored soldier. That soldier stood there, though many rings of flames could be seen forming behind him–seven to be exact. They were of varying color and appearance.

‘<Seven-Colored Fire>?’ Xue Ying’s pupils dilated.

Amidst the famous defying cultivation techniques at the Primal Chaos Realm, the <Five Phases Sealing Technique> was ranked extremely high. But there existed some horrifying cultivation techniques that were stronger like the <Three Realms Technique>, <Seven-Colored Fire>, <Eternal Night World>… these techniques were extreme cultivation techniques created by unparalleled existences that could no longer improve further. They had turned back to the Primal Chaos Realm, relied on some secret treasures for research before coming crafting them.

The difficulty of grasping the Seven-Colored Fire was beyond that of understanding the Five Phases Sealing Technique. But there were still some heaven-defying existences that had perceived it in the history of this Origin World. That was a heaven-defying monster from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation.

Grasping the Eternal Night World was even harder! According to rumors, it required the execution of five types of tenth level soul techniques. Only then could it form the ‘Eternal Night World’.

Eternal Night World…

Everything would be returned to the eternal night. It would cause all existences to enter darkness indefinitely.

‘The Seven-Colored Fire is actually the third wave of trial?’ Xue Ying felt speechless.

“Ding ding ding dang dang~”

The soft sound from the Devil Heart Bell made that silver-armored soldier shake softly. But he was still able to wave his hand and cause a strand of Seven-Colored Flame to emerge.

‘Fortunately, his power has been greatly diminished after suffering from the influence of the illusory realm. It seems like he could no longer establish the complete ring of flames?’ Xue Ying sighed inwardly. If the seven-colored ring of flames came, Xue Ying could not dodge from it at all after being trapped. Once that happened, the seven flames that reached grand perfection would unleash a practically unblockable power! Xue Ying was not confident of resisting against it even with the Five Phases Sealing Technique. He had to rely on the ‘Nine Rotation Undying Technique’ by then.

Currently, it was merely just seven-colored flames. Hence, Xue Ying was still confident of battling the other party using his Five Phases Sealing Technique.

“Exterminate.”

He extended his right hand, causing it to expand to a size covering more than half the Eden World. It slapped down on the surging seven-colored flames. As the seven-colored flames clashed with the large palm, sounds of ‘chi chi chi’ immediately formed, causing the palm to quiver. Holes were formed as the palm burned, though it was rapidly restoring by relying on the transformation of the five phases.

“Hmph.” Seeing this happening, the silver-armored soldier immediately brought out a silver spear and killed its way over. The spear also had seven-colored flames surrounding it.

“Oh? You use spear?” Xue Ying chuckled.

…

At the center of the palace hall, the five geniuses were still fighting.

Xue Ying, who came from the Southern Cloud Nation, could still battle with the silver-armored soldier. As for General Xuan, he was having a hard time running about and doing his best to delay for more time. As for Xia Fa Yang, Xia Cheng Yuan, and Xia Wu Hua, they were having an even more miserable time.

Xia Wu Hua had practically been teleported out at the first moment!

Under the formation of the ‘Seven-Colored Fire’ rings of flames, Xia Cheng Yuan’s Great Dao Song could not resist it at all. He was similarly teleported out after a breath by Emperor Summer.

Xia Fa Yang displayed his Heart Technique, causing the strength of the silver-armored soldier to diminish significantly. But it’s a pity that the power of his array was scattered and smashed after being weakened by the ‘Seven-Colored Fire’. Xia Fa Yang merely delayed for several breaths of time before being teleported out! If it continued on, he would be burned alive. After all, the power of the significantly weakened Seven-Colored Fire was equivalent to Xue Ying’s Five Phases Sealing Technique.

“The Summer Clan is done.” Those guests present made their judgment, “It is likely for the Summer Clan to win this competition between the three clans. There aren’t any variable left!”

And high above the great palace hall.

The three unparalleled existences were similarly watching the battle proceed.

“Haha, my Summer Clan has three fellows winning the second wave in this third round. There is also Xia Jing Zhi who won the first wave! Adding up, that’s a total of seven golden cauldrons. With the five golden cauldrons from the previous rounds, my Summer Clan has acquired a total of 12 golden cauldrons this time.” Emperor Summer smiled at Ancestor Fan, “Brother Fan, the other four fellows from your Fan Clan are quite good, but they only won the first wave, totaling four golden cauldrons! Your clan also won four golden cauldrons previously. This Ying Shan Xue Ying has to win the fourth wave before he could equalize the count at 12 golden cauldrons!”

Xue Ying had to win the fourth wave before allowing the Fan Clan to draw with the Summer Clan!

And winning the fourth wave was considered extremely outstanding in the history of the competitions between the three clans!

Emperor Cang just chuckled from the side: “Even if it ended in a draw, the odds of success in the additional battle aren’t high either.”

“The final outcome hasn’t been fixed in place.” Ancestor Fan continued looking downwards.

Emperor Cang also looked down. Currently, only Xue Ying and General Xuan were fighting, albeit they were having a hard time.

“Seeing that they are having such a hard time fighting the third wave of enemy, there is practically no hope in triumphing the fourth wave of enemies.” Emperor Cang mocked.

…

If Xue Ying wanted to win, he could simply rely on the pinnacle of void-ification to sneak attacks on the enemies. Reaching the pinnacle of void-ification, that was something even the ‘Void Castle’ created by the collective effort of many Cosmos Gods in the Primal Chaos Void could not perceive. At the final moment when Xue Ying reached the side of the enemy, the Five Phases Sealing Technique could directly blast that silver-armored soldier to death. After all, few could resist the full brunt of power from the Five Phases Sealing Technique.

Even if a palm could not kill the enemy, three or four palms would suffice.

It’s just that Xue Ying wasn’t willing to display that technique until the crucial moment. He wanted to thoroughly inspect the legendary <Seven-Colored Fire>! Even though this was considered a legend at the Primal Chaos Realm, there were quite a few Cosmos Gods in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation and Myriad Realms Ancient Nation who specialized in this cultivation technique. After this competition between the three clans ended, he would soon break through to the Cosmos God Realm. By then, his opponents were no longer Xia Fa Yang and the others. Instead, it would be the more powerful Cosmos Gods.

‘What an amazing Seven-Colored Fire. It seems to have reached a new limit in destruction. This was even under the condition of not forming the ring of flames.’ Xue Ying felt astonished inwardly. He was watching the incredibly beautiful Seven-Colored Fire burning his Five Phases Sealed Space.

“Ying Shan Xue Ying.”

Suddenly, a minute change by his side made Xue Ying perceive a frightening sound. In the mind of Xue Ying, including the avatar that was located in the distant Southern Cloud Nation, a sound echoed at the same time.

“If you were to win the fourth wave of enemies, I’ll increase your reward by another 10,000 contribution points! If you were to win the fifth wave of enemies, it’d be an additional 20,000 contribution points!”

Xue Ying sensed something in his heart. After which, he looked up.

His gaze crossed through the membrane of the Eden World, looking at the blurred figure situated at the highest spot in the palace hall outside, ‘Ancestor Fan’. In the past, he could not see him clearly, but this time, Xue Ying could spot the eyes of that blurred figure.

That pair of eyes met with Xue Ying’s gaze.

Xue Ying immediately understood!

“Hehe…” Even though Emperor Cang did not sense it, but Emperor Summer, who was controlling the Eden World and sending in enemies, grinned and glanced at Ancestor Fan to his side. Ancestor Fan remained calmly looking down as if he had not done anything at all.
