Lord Xue Ying

After throwing the scroll over, Undying Underworld Emperor simply left.

As Southern Cloud King received the scroll, he panicked in his heart: “In the past, Undying Underworld Emperor would maintain decorum when asking me to help him do stuff. But now, if I couldn’t complete the task on time, he would wipe out my Southern Cloud Nation! He was actually so overbearing and ruthless! Things seem amiss?”

After a moment.

Southern Cloud King sent an avatar over to find Xue Ying at the Flying Snow City.

“Teacher.” Xue Ying was still seated at his pavilion. When he saw his teacher coming over, he immediately stood and greeted the other party.

“Xue Ying, I’ve just met Undying Underworld Emperor and find that things aren’t right.” Southern Cloud King explained what had just happened once through.

When Xue Ying finished listening, he answered: “It’s all because of me.”

“Because of you?” Southern Cloud King felt puzzled.

“He could possibly be feeling gravely threatened.” Xue Ying sighed, “It actually stemmed from my fame in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.”

“Your fame in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range? What fame?” Southern Cloud King was even more bewildered at this moment. The cultivators from Realm Heart Great Land usually had to keep on their toes when they visited the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. They had to be careful when facing the Death Destruction Clan. They similarly had to be careful when facing the Natives too! Even unparalleled existence wouldn’t dare to bring their supreme-graded secret treasures if there was no need to!

“It’s like this.”

Naturally, Xue Ying did not hide from his teacher. He told the other party everything that happened.

As Southern Cloud King listened, he gradually became shocked.

Oh god!

Being strong enough to fight against god generals, he even dared to go against Great Emperor North River! Great Emperor North River did not get angry. On the contrary, he came personally with politeness to invite Xue Ying over to a banquet! Many Great Emperors even came to invite him. And when ‘Great Emperor Shamanic Wind’ worked together with Xue Ying, they were able to force ‘Emperor Yan’, the strongest of the 13 Emperors to lower its head!

“You, you…” Southern Cloud King felt that his horizons had been broadened. Currently, he was looking at his disciple with great astonishment.

Frightening!

Truly frightening!

There had never been a cultivator from Realm Heart Great Land who could be so highly regarded like Xue Ying in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range! Even those at the level of the eight Great Emperors and 13 Emperors were competing to get into Xue Ying’s grace.

“Have you reached the final realm in your Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm? Are soul techniques so formidable?” Southern Cloud King could not help but ask.

“I haven’t. I’ve only reached the limits before the final realm.” Xue Ying replied, “I have gotten some great opportunities in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. By relying on that, I was able to comprehend a Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique! And that was how I was able to reach my current stage of level.”

“Since you have the capability of forcing many Emperors in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range down, you should be able to weaken many final realm cultivators significantly! Most level-two Cosmos Gods and Paragon Masters… would even fall asleep directly before you. And that includes me.” Southern Cloud King shook his head in lament, “Even though I have many avatars, you could simply destroy all of them with a single thought.”

At this moment.

Southern Cloud King started feeling alarmed over this disciple of his! Soul techniques were too terrifying. The moment an avatar fell for it, given that all avatars were connected via their memories, all of them would similarly fall into the illusory realm!

Southern Cloud King even chose to temporarily break all memory connections he had with his avatars that were located in other Origin Worlds! Since it was taxing to maintain the memory linkage with avatars that were located in different Origin Worlds, he could easily severe the connection by choosing not to maintain it: ‘I shall synchronize our memories once every few years so as to prevent any diversion of personality.’

Soul techniques were too frightening. Even if Southern Cloud King was the teacher, being a cultivator, he still instinctively acted as a means of self-preservation.

“I should be able to deal with level-two Cosmos Gods with a thought.” Xue Ying nodded. Currently, the only ones he could not handle were only final realm cultivators in Realm Heart Great Land.

“That Undying Underworld Emperor should have found out about this. He is afraid of me.” Xue Ying calmly stated.

“Afraid of you?” Southern Cloud King was puzzled.

“Yes. He wishes to enter the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. But if I were to discover him in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, I could easily summon a group of experts to kill him.” Xue Ying explained, “Furthermore, because I can easily obtain treasures and opportunities–those World Masters and Great Emperors took the initiative to give them to me–given my accumulations in the Dao of Void and in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, I could possibly have a breakthrough in any of the two Daos to the final realm.”

Southern Cloud King agreed.

That’s Right.

He felt that this disciple of his could possibly reach the final realm in any of the two Daos! Naturally, this was because the cultivators in Realm Heart Great Land did not know how difficult the Dao of Soul was!

“If I were to reach the final realm in my Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, my soul technique would become more formidable. Perhaps I could easily wipe him out by relying on my soul technique.” Xue Ying said, “Even if I couldn’t he would be weakened to a stage where he was only left with 20% to 30% of his original strength. Killing him would be an easy task.”

Currently, his soul technique was this powerful already. Once it reached the final realm, it would be greatly overpowered.

Xue Ying felt that it was entirely possible to kill a peak cultivator with a thought!

“If I were to have a breakthrough in the Dao of Void! I could rely on my Chaotic Origin Weapon and perhaps find another helper. By then, it is entirely possible to kill him either way.” Xue Ying muttered.

Southern Cloud King felt startled inwardly.

He took in this disciple easily without doing much for him… and he became so amazing now! In the blink of an eye, he could even threaten the life of Undying Underworld Emperor!

“That is why he plans on struggling.” Xue Ying shook his head, “I do not wish to force him into dire straits. As long as he doesn’t massacre the innocent, I might even be willing to swear an oath not to deal against him. It’s a pity that his goal is to advance into the Chaotic Origin Level. The condition he proposed is way beyond my limits. I can’t satisfy it. I am afraid he should have begun some sort of schemes since he is definitely someone who would not resign himself to death.”

“Mn, he would definitely not resign himself to death.” Southern Cloud King concurred.

…

In a huge city.

Undying Underworld Emperor arrived above this city at night. He coldly looked down at this city.

There were a huge amount of cultivators that lived here. There were male and female, old and young. There were solitary cultivators, and some who worked as attendants or servants to earn cosmos crystals.

“Absorb!”

Undying Underworld Emperor abruptly took a deep breath.

An endless darkness suddenly engulfed the entire place. All the civilians within the city could not retaliate at all. Their souls left their bodies. This single breath by Undying Underworld Emperor formed an abyss that caused all souls to fly into it. Some cultivators in this city had avatars outside, and they immediately began spreading the news about it.

Undying Underworld Emperor felt disdain from concealing his actions either.

Not only were the civilians spreading the news. This disturbance was even felt by several final realm cultivators.

“Mn? What is this Underworld Emperor doing?” Ancestor Fan could perceive what was happening from afar. He focused his attention to the site while feeling incredibly confused, “Even if he plans on collecting a large number of souls, he could easily entice the weaker cultivators to do it for him. Why would he be doing it himself?”

Yet he did not know.

Undying Underworld Emperor was currently making full use of his time to conduct more experiments. If he planned to entice the weaker devils, that would require time! Nothing could ever beat doing it himself in terms of speed!

“Devour!”

Undying Underworld Emperor finally absorbed all souls into his body–they were stored at an inner space.

He stood silently at his current location when a white-robed young man finally appeared by the side.

“Underworld Emperor.” Xue Ying looked down at the city. He saw the lack of souls in the bodies of the civilians. It had become a dead city. At that instance, Xue Ying turned to Undying Underworld Emperor with indignance, “What are you planning to do?”

Sacrificing just a single city was definitely insufficient.

“What I plan to do?”

“Since you aren’t giving me a path to take, I can only pave it myself.” Undying Underworld Emperor sneered at Xue Ying, “Monarch Flying Snow. The famous Monarch Flying Snow. I’m afraid you could possibly become the strongest expert in Realm Heart Great Land. What a pity. You can’t stop me from doing what I want to do.”

Finishing his words, Undying Underworld Emperor disappeared.

He deliberately stayed here for Xue Ying!

“Damn.”

The expression on Xue Ying became ugly. He could still kill ordinary devils. Nonetheless, Undying Underworld Emperor was someone he could not handle even if he acted.

…

Time passed.

The huge reputation Xue Ying created in Broken Tooth Mountain Range began spreading across the highest rung in Realm Heart Great Land. Emperor Summer, World Extermination God-Emperor, Towering Sky King, Ancestor Fan, Eternal Night Primogenitor, Extreme Night Primogenitor and others were dumbstruck when they heard the news. Ancestor Fan even exclaimed with shock: “His Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm should have reached the pinnacle pinnacle. He could possibly have broken through to the final realm!”

They could even ascertain that Great Emperors treated Xue Ying as a VIP!

The 13 Emperors were all wary of this Monarch Flying Snow!

And large number of World Masters had once sent a lot of treasures–top-graded and even supreme-graded ones to him!

That was simply madness!

The highest run of Realm Heart Great Land were stunned. Some final realm cultivators who did not own any supreme-graded secret treasures were green with envy! They were filled with admiration and jealousy! At the same time, they felt helpless too.

As the unparalleled existences and final realm cultivators came to visit Xue Ying, Xue Ying was actually paying close notice to news on Undying Underworld Emperor.

“Undying Underworld Emperor.”

Xue Ying’s mood was not good.

In just a short 3 years.

After Undying Underworld Emperor raked in a large batch of souls, he still frequently did so in the dark. Currently, the six great ancient nations in Realm Heart Great Land treated Xue Ying with respect. By relying on the intelligence from various sources, he found out that the one reaping the souls were all done by Undying Underworld Emperor!

“Underworld Emperor musn’t be left alive!” Xue Ying gritted his teeth, “I have to think of ways to eliminate him.”

If this continued, Xue Ying did not know how many would die.

Could he simply hope for ‘Yuan’ to appear? Given the temper of Yuan, he would not do anything against any actions short of affecting the balance in Realm Heart Great Land.
