Lord Xue Ying

Qing Yao and his brother were finally reunited with their parents. The Cosmos Gods were delighted too–they were happy for the addition of a ‘great general’ on their side! After all, Xue Ying dared to enter the Ancient Sacred World alone.

Even though Xue Ying was currently at the bottom of level-two Cosmos Gods and was comparable to Luo City Lord—he still lacked in some ways when compared to Devil Mountain Primogenitor and Jade Light Master, he stood at the most apex in terms of ‘stealth’, ‘survivability’, and ‘soul’ aspects. Nonetheless, the group of Cosmos Gods felt a boost in their confidence in fighting against the Sacred Master.

“The matter about Xue Ying becoming a Cosmos God should be kept a secret temporarily.” Ancestor Sorcerer chuckled, “Otherwise, Sacred Master would guess what had happened when someone that had his soul dissipated appeared perfectly fine.”

“It is good to keep it a secret.”

Everyone agreed.

After all, Xue Ying was involved with another Origin World, the ‘Realm Heart Great Land’. Should Sacred Master find out about this, he would become even madder with greed.

Xue Ying agreed to it too. That way, he would have lesser trouble.

******

Within the Primal Chaos Void.

Amidst a humongous ocean of fire, there was a huge fire star. This great fire star was none other than the ‘Primitive Sun Star’.

“Teacher, teacher.”

The incarnation of World Ancestor stood in the void while maintaining a distance to that Primitive Sun Star. If this incarnation were to go over, it would likely be burned to ashes.

“Teacher!” The incarnation of World Ancestor transmitted a message over.

“Who is it?”

The Primitive Sun Star was immensely huge. But at this moment, an incomparably large black shadow appeared on the surface of the Primitive Sun Star. It occupied approximately one-third of the entire Primitive Sun Star. This enormous shadow opened its eyes with slight displease. Its dark yellow eyes glared at the thin and small incarnation of World Ancestor who stood at a distance.

“It’s you, Little Devil?” The voice of that incomparably huge black shadow boomed, “What’s the matter, say.”

Some slight displease could be heard in his voice.

He hated being disturbed while sleeping! As for his disciples? Even though Old Monster Stone had some affection for them, it wasn’t deep because he knew that those disciples would be extinguished when this era ended, and the Primal Chaos Void underwent a Great Apocalypse before rebirthing to a new era. Even though he looked forward to a disciple breaking through to the final realm of the Cosmos God, it’s a pity…

He had survived through many eras, and there were quite a few disciples that reached the level-two Cosmos God Realm. Nevertheless, none had ever reached the final Cosmos God Realm.

“Teacher.” The incarnation of World Ancestor knew that ‘disturbing his teacher while his teacher was slumbering’ would cause the other party to be unhappy. But he came only after ascertaining the identity of Xue Ying, “Dong Bo Xue Ying hasn’t died. He is still alive.”

“Dong Bo Xue Ying…” Old Monster Stone who had just awoken, was slightly muddle-headed. Following that, he shook himself awake.

“Hua.”

That incomparably huge eyes immediately transformed, turning into a thin and small old man. He was thinner than World Ancestor–so thin that he looked like a bag of bones.

Hunchbacked with a clutch, Old Monster Stone said: “You said that young fellow hasn’t died? But that time, I’ve scoured through the whole Primal Chaos Void, only to find out that there existed no true spirit of his. Unless he had gotten the Realm Heart Order and went to the Realm Heart Great Land?”

“Teacher, you know about it?” World Ancestor said with a shock. He immediately nodded, “That’s right. Dong Bo Xue Ying mentioned that he relied on the Realm Heart Order to reincarnate over into the Realm Heart Great Land.”

“Haha…”

Old Monster Stone’s laughter boomed like thunder. It caused the sea of fire within the Primitive Sun Star to tremble.

“Who would have thought that he would be so lucky. Where is he now?” Old Monster Stone asked. He was too lazy to check through the entire Primal Chaos Void. He had also reckoned that the aura of Xue Ying would have transformed after reincarnating over.

“Over at the Blade Emperor City.” The incarnation of World Ancestor said.

“Let us go and have a look.” The current mood of Old Monster Stone became relatively good. After all, he had been heavily injured because of Xue Ying. Currently, knowing that the other party was still alive, he felt as if a miracle had happened.

Old Monster Stone took a step before disappearing from the place.

…

When he appeared again, Old Monster Stone had arrived at the Blade Emperor City. The Blade Emperor City was relatively smaller, so Old Monster Stone had easily discovered those Cosmos Gods almost instantaneously.

Blade Emperor City, inside the Azure Lake Palace.

A figure suddenly condensed above the lake. He was Old Monster Stone.

“Mn?” Blade Emperor, Ancestor Sorcerer, World Ancestor, Swordmaster, Jade Light Master, Devil Mountain Primogenitor, Xue Ying, and others were all greatly alarmed. This was the place where Blade Emperor lived in; it had strict security, and nobody could teleport in. Even Sacred Master should not appear directly too.

“Haha, the Ancient Sacred World is also a place where I can enter anytime and leave whenever I want to.” Old Monster Stone held onto his clutch as he walked on the void over.

Ancestor Sorcerer and Blade Emperor both felt a feeling of suppression.

“Senior Stone.” Xue Ying said with a startle. He had seen Old Monster Stone before, but that was when he was still at the Primal Chaos Realm, and he could not perceive how strong Old Monster Stone was.

“There is no need for everyone to be worried. This is my teacher.” Garbed in green, the thin and small World Ancestor stood with a smile.

“The teacher of World Ancestor?”

They were all astonished, though they understood it in a flash.

“Xue Ying, you recognize him?” Forefather Tian Yu transmitted. Swordmaster, Ancestor Sorcerer, Blade Emperor, and others were still solemnly watching. They could feel how frightening the aura emitted by Old Monster Stone was.

Xue Ying nodded.

Old Monster Stone looked at Xue Ying with a slight nod.

The other Cosmos Gods had already ascertained the identity of Xue Ying. Furthermore, that shout of ‘Senior Stone’ gave Old Monster Stone greater certainty that this brat was Xue Ying.

“What a pity, what a pity.” Old Monster Stone shook his head, “I originally wanted to take you in as a disciple, yet who would have thought that you left first for the Realm Heart Great Land. I originally am not good in the Mirage and Illusory Realm, and could merely give you some guidance. But at the Realm Heart Great Land, you could have pointers that are so much better than what I can give. It seems we aren’t fated to be teacher and student.”

Wanted to take me as his disciple? Xue Ying was stunned.

World Ancestor turned to Xue Ying and explained: “Younger Brother Dong Bo, the Vermillion Nightmare Inheritance had been created by my teacher. You could create the tenth transformation of the Vermillion Nightmare, which was why my teacher wanted to take you in as his disciple. Nevertheless, because of a variable after that, you went to the Realm Heart Great Land as a result.”

“Teacher.” World Ancestor smiled, “Don’t you know that Dong Bo hasn’t gone to the Realm Heart Great Land for a long time, yet his strength has greatly improved? This time, he infiltrated the Ancient Sacred World…”

World Ancestor explained briefly.

“Actually, it had been fortunate for me.” Xue Ying added, “I prepared carefully, yet the rumored Ancient Sacred Incarnation did not appear, making everything simple for me.”

“The Ancient Sacred Incarnation?” Old Monster Stone gave a weird chuckle, “Brat, that time after knowing that you died, making me lose the disciple which I wanted to take in, how could I let that Young Devil do as he wished? Hence, I killed my way over, starting a huge battle with him on the Ancient Sacred World! With my strength, that Young Devil could not threaten me if he did not use the Ancient Sacred Incarnation. Hence, he put in all his strength and fought with me. I had been injured, but that Ancient Sacred Incarnation belonging to that Young Devil had been fully consumed. In the end, I found out that the reason why you were captured by Sacred Master was related to Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master! Hence, I pinched to death that scheming Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master the next moment.”

Xue Ying had a look of enlightenment when he suddenly said with astonishment after hearing the last part: “Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master is dead?”

He initially wanted to take revenge.

But even now, he could not find where the avatar of Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master was.

“My path of cultivation is different from that of Sacred Master. I have reached the final realm of Cosmos God in the body cultivation lineage. From now on, I have to rely on myself to break apart the Origin World and step into the next level.” Old Monster Stone chuckled, “I seek after improving myself. Hence, my techniques are slightly more special. I can exist at every single location in the Primal Chaos Void, allowing me to easily scour through the whole place. The avatar of that Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master could hide, but as long as he is located in this Origin World, it would be impossible for him to conceal himself from me!”

Those present—Ancestor Sorcerer, Blade Emperor, and others felt startled.

This was the real senior.

Reaching the final realm of Cosmos God, he was about to progress to another level. Currently, his techniques had reached an unfathomable stage.

“Sacred Master, that Young Devil, had thought of all ways to control the Supreme Law.” Old Monster Stone said, “But it seems he has no hope in doing so within this era anymore.”

“Young Devil? Teacher knows that he is of the Destruction Devil Race?” World Ancestor asked.

“Has he showed his true self this time?” Old Monster Stone nodded after hearing that, “The Destruction Devils are born by the Primal Chaos Void to destroy. Only by becoming a Cosmos God could they escape from the influence of the desire to destroy. He had been amazing, reaching the final realm of Cosmos God using a Destruction Devil body. Reaching this step, he naturally desired to take that final step to wield the Supreme Law.”

“To him, there are fewer experts during the early period of an era, increasing the possibility of success for his schemes. The further it is, the more Cosmos Gods there would be emerging in an era! All of them would stand against him. And once it reaches a certain period, the chances of him succeeding would drop to rock bottom.” Old Monster Stone explained, “Of course, when he fought with me that time, the energy of his Ancient Sacred Incarnation had been fully consumed. Hence, there is practically no chance for him to succeed in this era, and he would most likely know about it too.”

“It is all thanks to you, senior.” Ancestor Sorcerer said, “Otherwise, we would have more battles.”

“Haha, he and I are in the same Origin World.” Old Monster Stone guffawed, “If I were to step into another level, I would be controlling this Origin World in the future. Even though the path he took is different from mine, he would similarly seek to control this Origin World. Given his disposition, I would be doomed if he were to do that. Hence, every time during the most crucial moment, I would act in the dark. For instance, that time when the Primitive Ancient Sacred World shattered in the past, I was the one that acted.”

“So it turns out to be because of this?”

All the Cosmos Gods present were startled.

Two cultivators that reached the final realm sought to take that last step. Hence, both did not wish to see the other party succeeding.

“Alright, feel rest assured. Sacred Master that Young Devil will not bounce about. The more experts you all have, and given the fact that he no longer has the Ancient Sacred Incarnation as his trump card, he would merely torment you all before the Great Apocalypse. I guess he should be scheming for the next era already.” Old Monster Stone sighed, “I’ll accompany the few of you young fellows for now. After a bit, I’ll go back to sleep, and would only wake up when it is time for the Great Apocalypse.”

“All of you should properly cultivate. Right now, the most important target isn’t to overtake Sacred Master but yourself.” Old Monster Stone turned to them.

“This Primal Chaos Void is just like a huge ship that is about to sink! Don’t think that it is still far from sinking. The later it is, the faster the speed of expansion, and the more Destruction Devils there would be. The day of ‘Great Apocalypse’ would arrive at a faster pace—it would happen so much quicker than what you expect.” Old Monster Stone explained, “All of you should still concentrate on cultivating. If you aren’t strong enough, when this ship capsizes, all of you should be prepared to die. I’m used to seeing the scene of everyone dying when an era ends.”

Everyone present trembled.

Great Apocalypse…

“Senior, how long do you think our Primal Chaos Void has before the Great Apocalypse arrives?” Ancestor Sorcerer asked.

Xue Ying and the others watched at Old Monster Stone nervously. Old Monster Stone should have the most experience in this.

“Mn.”

Old Monster Stone muttered to himself. At the same time, his consciousness swept across the entire Primal Chaos Void.
