Xue Ying was able to sense the current superb mood his teacher had. Thinking about it, he understood that he must have narrated the matter of him killing the protector from the Ancestor Mother Religion to the other seven Rulers. By then, his breakthrough into the 'Opening realm' would be promulgated. One had to know that even that old man from the 'Starting Ground' was astonished to see him open his Dao within a million years,
The other seven Rulers would naturally be astounded too, and would undoubtedly have chatted with his teacher Bloodshed God Emperor. Reaching the level of his teacher, when other Rulers at the same level were astounded or filled with envy and jealousy, it would bring joy to the God Emperor.
"These few old men had been surprised by you." Bloodshed God Emperor's voice reverberated by the ears of Xue Ying, "Hahaha, you have done two things consecutively that shocked them."
"It's luck, just luck." Xue Ying humbly replied.
But this was just the beginning.
If his scheme succeeded, he might be able to kill one or two more protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion! However, the eventual outcome was a variable since those protectors had an overwhelmingly strong body. Furthermore, they were teaming up against him this time. He did not have the certainty, and thus, there was no need to mention it.
It would not be too late to inform his teacher after he had done the deed!
"Teacher, why would the Ancestor Mother Religion feel despair for the death of a protector?" Xue Ying asked again.
"The Ancestor Mother Religion is truly mysterious. Our understanding of them is lacking." Bloodshed God Emperor explained, "But according to the few interactions we had, and the experience of how difficult it was in heading to other cosmos… on one aspect, it isn't that easy for them to refine an avatar like us since we have a different cultivation system. On the other hand, they came over to our cosmos from another one. That requires a huge price."
"That time, it might be their religious leaders and protectors pooling in resources to send them over to our place via some treasure or by someone! But it might require a huge price. That was why many experts had come together."
"If a certain protector dies here, even if they could refine another avatar, it is impossible for them to pay such a huge price to send them over."
Bloodshed God Emperor said, "Naturally, there are other reasons too."
"Understood." Xue Ying was enlightened.
Sending another expert over was too pricey! Thus, this meant that the death of a protector would be a one less force on the side of the Ancestor Mother Religion!
Ancestor Mother Religion was initially at a disadvantage being outsiders of this Cultivator Cosmos! Each person they lost would diminish their overall combat force. The protectors were relatively important still for if too many protectors died, missions would have to be conducted personally by the 'religious leaders', and that was even more dangerous since Bloodshed God Emperor and the others would put in all effort to attack them!
They would not let go of the chance to kill a 'religious leader'.
"Xue Ying, right now you have just opened your Dao. Cultivating is still more important at this moment! Dealing with Ancestor Mother Religion? You don't have to spend too much effort on this. Your teacher and other Rulers will naturally handle these outsiders." Bloodshed God Emperor transmitted over.
"This disciple understands." Xue Ying acknowledged.
"Ancestor Devil is comparable with 'Lake Heart Island master' across the many cosmos epochs of our cosmos. He had created the Six Heavenly Wheels that results in the formation of a Dark Abyss across all epochs. His combat power is unfathomable… and compared to the Lake Heart Island, the Six Heavenly Wheel is much more sinister and dangerous. But behind the dangers, they are many benefits too. It is also one of the reasons why the Ancestor Mother Religion gathered so many protectors here. You should travel along the Lower Three Edens to broaden your perspectives." Bloodshed God Emperor ordered before cutting off the communication channel.
Standing at the peak, the mountain wind was whistling, and Xue Ying was thoroughly inspecting this Blood Devil Eden.
His teacher was right.
His current experience was lacking, and the places which he had been to that were comparable to the 'Six Heavenly Wheels' included only the Starting Ground and the Lake Heart Island. He had not gone to other dangerous places within the Lake Heart Island historical remains previously, and had visited just the 'Destruction Eden'. The Starting Ground was comparatively more peaceful–he became a mortal there, and fought a single battle with the 'strongest World Deity'.
With the temper of 'Ancestor Devil', the 'Six Heavenly Wheel' would not be that peaceful.
"Sou."
Xue Ying turned into a streamer before flying within the Blood Devil Eden.
The Ancestor Mother Religion could be chasing after him currently. If he were to remain still, he might cause the Ancestor Mother Religion to suspect if he had some motives.
'Blood Devil Eden.'
As Xue Ying flew along, he was also observing the place. The sky dome was blood in color, and the black soil of the ground was permeated with fresh blood, 'According to the intelligence reports, the Lower Three Edens may seem quiet and safe, but the dangers would descend suddenly without warning.'
Because there were no laws, the Six Heavenly Wheel was extremely dangerous to the weaker Paragons.
God Emperor was assured of Xue Ying because he cultivated the 'Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body' along with the newly opened 'Dao of Mirage'. Comparing his survival capabilities, he was ranked in the forefront amongst the Paragons! God Emperor was naturally at ease.
...
"He is moving."
A rainbow flame light was currently flying at top speed.
Within this rainbow flame light, there was only Protector Huo Zhu in it. He temporarily kept the other three protectors in his Eden.
"Is he guessing that we are pursuing after him?" Protector Huo Zhu sneered, "But it's a pity that it is useless."
"Lower Three Edens."
"Cultivators from the Cultivator Cosmos include only Monarch Hex Cricket and Dong Bo Xue Ying in the Lower Three Edens. Furthermore, Monarch Hex Cricket is guarding the Black Rain Eden and will not be leaving that place." Protector Huo Zhu was hoping for Monarch Hex Cricket to leave since another team would immediately kill their way over. Compared to that treasure within the Black Rain Eden, Xue Ying's importance was not worth mentioning.
"Hu."
He was flying at top speed and at the same time, he was receiving information about the new approximate position of Xue Ying regularly.
...
Xue Ying flew more than three hours when his eyes suddenly stared at a distant location.
It was a huge mountain that was regularly undulating. The vast mountains had some weeds growing on it.
'This is?' How great were the eyes of Xue Ying? With his physique far exceeding that of True Gods, he could even see those few legs of ants located more than 100 millions of kilometers away, much less this huge undulating mountain. He could see the 'true appearance' of that continuous chain of mountains underneath the many weeds.
It was a being currently lying there in somber.
Its body was huge as it lay there. Its head was currently facing the ground, and from his point of view, Xue Ying was able to see a huge drooping ear! Its face might be hidden, but Xue Ying could still 'see' it clearly according to the light reflection and by operating the mirage.
He clearly 'saw' that appearance of this existence, with a head that seemed like a dog!
It was a humanoid figure with dog head that had a body spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers long.
As long as he carefully extended his senses…
He could feel the colossal figure of this being that was sleeping. Its stomach was expanding at a languid pace–taking a single breath would take god knows how long, and were counted in numerical of hundreds of millions of years. Only those with great combat power could carefully discern the slow pace its stomach was moving. The more carefully he sensed, the more he could feel the power this sleeping existence had.
'Ancient Demon?' Xue Ying immediately understood what he met.
Ancient Demon.
The Ancestor Devil had painstakingly groomed it. They were not true lifeforms since a cultivator had to reach a higher realm to become a Ruler–this could not be attained simply by 'grooming' it.
Instead, it was the blood flesh warriors or machine puppets that could be easily groomed.
Like that black dog from the Starting Ground, it was not a true lifeform and had been refined with great effort by the Starting Ground Senior. But that black dog combat power was genuinely terrifying that it could even bite the Lake Heart Island master from the yesteryear and injure him!
Same with the Ancient Demon!
The Ancestor Devil had many specialties. He groomed these Ancient Demons which the Lake Heart Island Master had a relatively hard time fighting with.
'According to the intelligence reports, every single Eden within the Six Heavenly Wheel contain an Ancient Demon sleeping within. The Ancient Demons within the Lower Three Edens have all reached the Ruler level. The Ancient Demons located in the Upper Three Edens are even stronger–even Rulers are at a disadvantage against them.' Xue Ying thought. He could determine how strong Ancestor Devil was–far surpassing the Rulers of this epoch–just by looking at the six sleeping Ancient Demons within the Six Heavenly Wheels.
'I'll have to be stealthy and not wake it.'
Xue Ying carefully controlled his breathing.
His body had even started turning illusory. He began walking within the Mirage world and was trying his utmost to reduce any disturbances so as not to wake up this colossal being.
Even though the three Ancient Demons located in the Lower Three Edens were weaker, they were still at the Ruler realm!
"Hu." Xue Ying stealthily flew in the Mirage world. He avoided this Ancient Demon and tried his best to leave this place.
