Lord Xue Ying

The expression of Wicked-Eyed Palace Master whose power was sealed and lying on the ground changed. He angrily shouted out: “Dong Bo Xue Ying, don’t go overboard!” Being an expert, he did not fear being punished. He would frequently experiment on himself when he was cultivating the hex cultivation, altering his body and even his soul! Even though he was not fearful of it, the act of taking all his treasures had turned Wicked-Eyed Palace Master crazy. Being a hex cultivator, he naturally paid great importance to resources. Many precious materials were collected over a long period, and for them to be snatched away at once was just like losing half his life.

Xue Ying glanced at him. He was too lazy to even speak. Instead, he merely waved his hand.

“Sou.”

The Wicked-Eyed Palace Master lying on the ground disappeared. He was kept into Xue Ying’s Eden treasure.

“Elder Dong Bo.” The white-haired simple-looking old man felt helpless as he stood in midair. He said, “Our hex cultivation requires plenty of resources for experiments. It isn’t easy to collect them. If you were to take all of his treasures, even though you did not kill this Junior Disciple Brother of mine, it is practically taking half his life away. Why not take a step back?”

“Take a step back? Thunder Pagoda Master, I might respect you, but previously, Wicked-Eyed Palace Master had acted against me, saying how he wanted to snatch all my treasures and even employ certain techniques to torture me, yet you did not react.” Xue Ying sneered, “Why? Now that your Junior Disciple Brother has been defeated and is in my hands, you are becoming anxious when I employ the same methods against him?”

Thunder Pagoda Master slightly frowned.

Xue Ying was ultimately an outsider. He did not care if Xue Ying suffered from any hardships or tortures. Now that his own junior disciple brother had suffered from such a huge loss, more importantly, he, Lei Yan, was still present here! The moment this matter was spread… many other experts under the sect of Ancestor Sorcerer would think that he, Lei Yan, was useless. He had simply let Xue Ying capture Wicked-Eyed Palace Master alive.

‘Who would have thought that his illusory technique is so formidable that even Wicked-Eyed could not resist against it.’ Thunder Pagoda Master thought.

Even if he personally acted, Wicked-Eyed Palace Master could employ different techniques and even resist using several survival treasures of his. To capture him alive? That was practically impossible!

Yet…

Wicked-Eyed Palace Master had actually encountered the number one illusionist amongst Unity realm experts of this generation–Xue Ying.

‘He had actually improved the illusory realm to this stage?’ Thunder Pagoda Master shook his head, ‘I’ve never heard of it previously. The Vermillion Nightmare inheritance is indeed an extremely formidable ancient cultivation technique specializing in illusory realms. But it is far from how effective Dong Bo Xue Ying actually used it. The ‘Dark World Master’ is indeed a genius expert within the ancient cultivation, but he merely relied on his talent in it to produce a Sky Punishment Edge.’

A Unity realm expert capturing someone like Wicked-Eyed Palace Master alive just using illusory realm solely was something unfathomable!

How would he know…

That Xue Ying was also talented in both the Dao of Slaughter and Dao of Ripple. He had even made both Forefather Tian Yu and Swordmaster regard him as a vital disciple. Nevertheless, his talent in the Dao of Mirage was even greater! After obtaining the ancient cultivation “Vermillion Nightmare inheritance”, his means of employing the illusory realms had reached a genuinely frightening realm.

…

Even though Thunder Pagoda Master had complex feelings, he still blurted out: “Elder Dong Bo, you are making my life difficult. He is after all my junior disciple brother.”

“Who can he blame since he is weaker. This can’t be considered as bullying the weak.” Xue Ying responded.

If it were a Primal Chaos giant dealing against a Unity realm expert or a Cosmos God fighting against a Primal Chaos expert… then that was the strong bullying the weak!

If both parties were at the Unity realm, even the higher-ups under the sect of Ancestor Sorcerer would not find any good excuses to say anything about it.

“Since that’s the case.”

The expression of Thunder Pagoda Master turned frigid, “Then let me see how formidable Elder Dong Bo’s illusory realm is!”

“Haha, good. I also wish to compete with Thunder Pagoda Master.” The eyes of Xue Ying were filled with expectations too.

Lei Yan, Thunder Pagoda Master.

He was publicly acknowledged as the strongest Unity realm experts within the three great sacred worlds. He was absolutely at the sixth level Star Pagoda strength. It was said that when he attempted crossing the seventh level, he had killed more than half the Destruction Devils before failing at the final part. Besides, being a hex cultivator, he had many combat techniques. Even though there were a few other Unity realm experts who crossed through the sixth level Star Pagoda too in the three great sacred worlds, they were weaker by an entire level.

Xue Ying was quite curious about his own strength too. After cultivating the ancient cultivation, his soul had become stronger. Currently, he was able to unleash 15 Sky Punishment Edges with his full power! Xue Ying felt that he was entirely qualified to charge through the seventh level.

Thunder Pagoda Master was coincidentally here for him to measure his strength!

“Very good.”

The white-haired Thunder Pagoda Master who wore simply replied indifferently, “It has been a long time since I fought with a Unity realm expert too.” With his pride, he usually only fought against Primal Chaos giants.

Thunder Pagoda Master extended his hand. There was a black flame which gave birth on his palm. The flame was burning with ‘chi chi’, warping the surrounding void. He indifferently said: “I might be a hex cultivator, but I do not specialize in many things…’

“Hong.”

Xue Ying was too lazy to reply. The first technique he exerted was a brutal one.

One could see a vast Dark World descending from nothingness. It completely enveloped around Thunder Pagoda Master. Thunder Pagoda Master also looked up as the Dark World surrounded him, though he was calm: ‘The absolute art of Dark World Master?’ But there were a total of 2,700 layers as judged from the membrane. Clearly, Xue Ying had fully unleashed his Many-Layered Dark World.

This was his current limit–2,700 layers!

Xue Ying was not afraid of getting rid of the other party in a single move because he understood how strong this ‘Thunder Pagoda Master’ was. The fleshy body of Thunder Pagoda Master was publicly acknowledged as the strongest amongst Unity realm experts! This included those from the other two sacred worlds, ‘Ancient Sacred World’ and the ‘Ancestor Mother World’. In terms of overall strength, Thunder Pagoda Master was first in the three great sacred worlds, but concerning his fleshy body, he was the strongest in the five great sacred worlds amongst Unity realm experts!

Xue Ying wanted to find out how formidable the other party’s fleshy body was using 2,700 layers of Dark World.

“Hong~”

In the hazy sky, the World Energy was wildly surging.

At the moment when the 2,700 layers of Dark World appeared, they directly exploded, producing a world destructive energy that completely engulfed Thunder Pagoda Master himself.

Following that, after the Dark World exploded, it revealed the appearance of Thunder Pagoda Master. The robe on his body remained perfectly fine, though there were some damages on the flesh of his face, exposing his bones. The injuries on his body were rapidly recovering.

“Quite formidable.” Thunder Pagoda Master stared at Xue Ying. One of his two eyes was damaged, though it was recovering too, “The Dark World Master wasn’t as strong as you are if he were alive. This move has reached the seventh level standard in its pure offensive strength, but it is impossible for you to survive against the collective assault by those 10 Destructive Devils within the seventh level.”

“Your body is solid too.” A huge fiery-red god bird, Vermillion Nightmare, appeared abruptly behind the back of Xue Ying. It immediately began flapping its wings that practically covered half the sky. A fiery-red airstream started diffusing over to where Thunder Pagoda Master was.

The illusory realm started assailing Thunder Pagoda Master.

But Thunder Pagoda Master was unlike Wicked-Eyed Palace Master or Monarch Qi Hu. For him to obtain such accomplishments, he naturally had reached the third level in his heart realm–My Heart as the World.

‘Such a formidable illusory realm. No wonder Wicked-Eyed would fall for it.’ Thunder Pagoda Master slightly frowned. He could feel waves and waves of illusory realm charging onto him. Even though he was able to rapidly break through them with his soul and willpower, his heart energy was still being influenced, ‘It actually requires me to use 30% of my heart energy to resist against it. That’s fine too. I can simply use moves that consume less heart energy.’

“Elder Dong Bo, you receive a move by me too.” Thunder Pagoda Master grinned.

“Hong, hong, hong, hong.”

One could see large pieces of flesh flying out from his body. After flying out, they swiftly condensed into many naked giants. Each giant contained a rock skin, though their faces looked like that of Thunder Pagoda Master. There were a total of four giants, and all of them let out a sky-piercing roar into the sky. This roar actually created a shockwave that affected more than 500 kilometers in area. The entire region had been razed to the ground by this shockwave.

This was a sacred world, yet his roar had attained such a strength.

Xue Ying also understood this technique the other party had. The fleshy body of Thunder Pagoda Master had been refined to an unfathomable stage. Even a section of his fleshy body could form four giants. These giants might be weaker in defense as compared to his actual body, but they were stronger. Each giant was constructed by Thunder Pagoda Master with the idea of maximizing their close combat skills. Every one of them had reached the sixth level Star Pagoda strength.

And this was merely one of the techniques the famous Thunder Pagoda Master had.
