Lord Xue Ying

“Senior Black Emperor.” Xue Ying said, “Many thanks senior for the help. If not for senior, this junior would have encountered huge trouble.”

“Hahaha…” Black Emperor’s laughter was clear and bright, “Previously, Little Friend Dong Bo wasn’t panicking when the sneak attack came. You should have some methods of surviving against it right? The Great Void Heaven Temple is a holy ground for the laws and profound mysteries system, and they specialize in refining all sorts of unique treasures. Forefather Tian Yu is also extremely overprotective of his disciples, so he should have bestowed upon you some marvelous protective treasures. I am only taking this opportunity to act so that I can meet you, little friend. I have actually been staying by the side of Green Peng Sect for a long time, and it is time for me to meet you.”

“Meet me?” Xue Ying was puzzled. He laughed, “I have never thought that senior is living by the side of Green Peng Sect. Things are quite coincidental.”

Previously, he felt perplexed.

Ultra-long distance teleportation was something most of the final realm existences could not employ, and there were even fewer Primal Chaos ancient cultivators who could do so.

Naturally.

He had to rely on the four-diagrams cultivation technique that Monarch Nine Cloud created for his ultra-long distance teleportation! Black Emperor might be formidable, but Xue Ying had never heard that he knew how to teleport through an ultra-long distance. Why would Black Emperor suddenly appear when ‘Master Yellow Spring’ suddenly attacked him? So he had been living close by.

“It isn’t coincidental.” Black Emperor chuckled, “The reason why I am living beside the Green Peng Sect is all because of you.”

“Because of me?” Xue Ying became all the more bewildered.

“Hahaha, are you planning to let me stand here and talk to you?” Black Emperor asked.

Xue Ying hurriedly replied, “I apologize for that! Senior Black Emperor, please come in.”

After which, the two of them entered the cavern-dwelling together.

…

There were many other disciples within Green Peng Sect too. They were watching in dumbstricken fashion at how things progressed. First, it was a violet-robed male who came seeking for ‘Elder Bei Zhou’ for vengeance. Following that, the world became like the primal chaos… an unfathomable ‘black-robed male’ that caused everyone to feel terror stepped on the void and came.

That power far transcended beyond what Xue Ying could display with his Black Gourd fireball.

Terror, trembling…

The black-robed male merely stared at that violet-robed male before he exploded and turned into nothingness.

Currently, this black-robed male and their Daoist Elder entered together into the cavern-dwelling side by side.

“Who is he?”

“It seems even Daoist Elder is very respectful to him.”

“This power is too horrifying. It should be at the Primal Chaos realm right?”

All of them were discussing about this matter in hushed tones.

And some of the higher-ups of Green Peng Sect who were experienced enough felt their faces turning. They at the very least recognized some of the famous characters living in the Myriad Ancient Sacred World. Black Emperor disdained from concealing his identity and altering his appearance. Hence, those higher-ups of Green Peng Sect could easily recognize his identity. They felt their hearts trembling and were all dumbfounded.

“Black Emperor?”

“It is actually Black Emperor!”

“Our Daoist Elder seems to know Black Emperor?” They were looking at each other; they felt their hearts racing.

Even though there were few Primal Chaos giants in the Myriad Ancient Sacred World, Black Emperor was someone so famous that he transcended beyond others. He was someone who could call the World Ancestor his brother.

******

In the distant Ancient Sacred World.

Within a palace under the lake.

Saint Wang Ming sat on his throne. His expression was ugly. The servants around him stopped breathing as they perceived that their current master was in a miserable mood.

“Everyone scram now.” Saint Wang Ming coldly ordered.

“Yes.”

All the servants swiftly withdrew.

Saint Wang Ming sat there in taciturn. Only after a long time did he murmur to himself: “Black Emperor actually intervened. I’ve spent so much effort before being able to persuade some of the higher-ups within the religion, and asking them to let ‘Master Yellow Spring’ act once! If not for him, we might have succeeded!”

Because Master Yellow Spring merely sent an incarnation out to act. Thus, even if she dissipated, there were no significant losses.

But to make someone with the status of Master Yellow Spring act once… It was not easy. If Saint Wang Ming had to ask her for help again, he would have to fork at least 1,000 to 2,000 Origin World Rocks, and this was something he could not accept.

“Ai.”

“Those within the religion aren’t willing to put in too much effort since they feel that the success rate is quite low.”

Saint Wang Ming gritted his teeth, “If only the war had started, I could easily activate and bring a team to eliminate Dong Bo Xue Ying!”

The Ancient Sacred Religion was currently within the period of ‘recuperation’.

It was a long period.

Usually, the Sacred Master was the one who started the war. Every war would cause blood to rain. The fall of Cosmos Gods during wars was even commonly seen. There had been existences on the second level of the final realm like ‘Monarch Nine Cloud’ and ‘Ancestor Cang’ who had died during this war, and many more at the third level perishing. Actually, the war did not involve just the five sacred worlds. Instead, when such a large-scale war began, even sacred worlds could possibly shatter from the destruction.

For instance, Gu Qi had dared to disrupt the affairs of Sacred Master, offending him as a result. Thus, Sacred Master decided to pursue after him without heeding the price! Even the Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World did not dare defend him as it was impossible for ordinary sacred worlds to hinder the Sacred Master’s offense.

As for the Ancestor Mother Sacred world and Myriad Ancient Sacred World, they might have a chance of resisting against the Sacred Master, and Gu Qi personally was a Voidwalker who reached the final realm. His means of escaping were formidable, allowing him to survive until now despite inciting the indignance of the Sacred Master. Nevertheless, Gu Qi had given the orders…

To forbid Xue Ying from mentioning that he was Gu Qi’s disciple since it might implicate Xue Ying.

Actually, let’s not talk about someone at the Unity realm. Even a Primal Chaos expert could not survive under the fury of the Sacred Master.

‘It’s a pity that the war has ended.’ Saint Wang Ming sighed inwardly.

During the period of war, death and injuries were common on both sides. And when the war ended, both parties would recuperate. They would only engage in small-scale skirmishes at most. Even the fall of Primal Chaos giants was rarely seen, much less Cosmos Gods.

‘Right now, many old men within the religion is cultivating. I should wait for an opportunity to come.’ Saint Wang Ming thought. As long as he waited for an opportunity such as the war erupting, then he would be able to activate some power in the religion as a saint to smash Xue Ying to death. After all, countless people were dying at that time.

But now? Saint Wang Ming could only wait!

…

At the back mountain of Green Peng Sect within Xue Ying’s cavern-dwelling.

Xue Ying brought some delicious wine and said at the same time: “Senior Black Emperor is staying by the side of Green Peng Sect because of me? Is it possible for this junior to ask what is it for?”

“You cultivated the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance?” Black Emperor lightly drank a mouth of the wine before asking with a smile.

“Yes.”

Xue Ying continued in surprise, “How does Senior Black Emperor know about it? Oh, is it because of the disturbance I created during my breakthrough?”

Black Emperor lightly shook his head.

“Hong!”

A fiery-red bird appeared behind his back. The feathers on the enormous bird could clearly be seen. Its eyes were filled with emotions, and it was currently fanning its enormous wings, producing a fiery-red stream of air. Every single strand of airstream was akin to the rise of a miniature cosmos. Xue Ying was startled as he saw this. The allure generated by this ‘Vermillion Nightmare totem’ was much stronger than his. Fortunately, Black Emperor kept back its power. Otherwise, Xue Ying might be influenced by the illusory realm.

“This junior has never thought that Senior Black Emperor would cultivate the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance as well and to such a realm.” Xue Ying exclaimed in admiration.

Within the publicly-available intelligence reports.

Black Emperor was well-known for being tyrannical. His battles always happened with an overwhelming suppression of the other party! Xue Ying had never heard of him specializing in the illusory realm.

“The “Vermillion Nightmare” is actually propagated by me.” Black Emperor chuckled, “That time, I’ve sent out a total of 30 original copies. Some might be obtained by a few Cosmos Gods or superpowers. Some might even be lost.”

“Senior is the one who propagated this technique?” Xue Ying answered, “It is truly admirable for senior to be able to create such an amazing ancient cultivation technique!”

He really admired the other party.

The ‘illusory realm’ effect was only part of what this ancient cultivation inheritance had. There was also the alluring aura, and the nourishment it had towards one’s soul…

“No no no.”

Black Emperor shook his head, “It is impossible for me to create such an inheritance. It is due to fate that I was able to acquire this unique inheritance. According to what the inheritance recorded in the past, mine is also the only copy! After I succeeded did I disseminate it around.”

Xue Ying was enlightened.

“But I do not wish for my methods to be made known in the outer world. Thus, I’ve only released eight transformations for inheritances like the “Vermillion Nightmare inheritance”! In reality, there are nine.” Black Emperor chuckled.

“There are nine transformations?” Xue Ying’s eyes brightened. He felt himself desiring it, but he did not know how to bring this topic out.

“I can impart this ninth transformation to you.” Black Emperor nodded, “The reason why I disseminated the inheritance is that I hope for an expert to emerge within my lineage. I have not reached the final realm after so long, and now, I wished there was someone who could achieve it.”
