Lord Xue Ying

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

Over at his hometown Origin World, the ‘Primal Chaos Void’, a small boat was flying in the void and Xue Ying currently sat at its head.

His cultivation had reached currently reached a critical moment.

Not just his avatar in Realm Heart Great Land or the avatar here in his hometown, even the avatar meditating underneath the ‘Burning Heart God Tree’ stopped meditating in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm temporarily. All avatars were currently focusing on the Dao of Void!

“Sky, Earth, Void, Origin, and Violent. These five phases are intersected. The Empty Phase holds the other phases and the Thread Phase interconnects them!”

Xue Ying lightly brushed his right hand away.

“Si la–”

A black crack was torn apart in the world. It tore apart even the Primal Chaos Void and the membrane of this Origin World. Chaotic Origin Energy surged in from outside of this black crack. This crack was approximately half a dozen kilometers long! It was as thick as a finger!

“Si la! Si la! Si la!”

Every time he brushed his right hand out or drew in the air using his finger, the Origin World would be cut apart, forming cracks behind.

Xue Ying was testing his techniques here. The avatar in the Realm Heart Great Land’s Seven Bell Pagoda was deducing and consolidating his comprehension. After all, cultivation in the Seven Bell Pagoda was extremely efficient. With inspirations streaming in, Xue Ying was constantly perfecting his techniques. Every time he perfected a technique, Xue Ying would test it out.

“Si la, si la.”

The tearing sound of the Origin World membrane was heart-thumping.

Gradually, this voice became weaker and weaker. And the crack torn became even more inconspicuous.

About ten days later.

“Hu.”

It was a soft voice as if coming from a breath.

His palm lightly ruffled, causing a continuous chain of crack to appear in the world. This crack was very long–spanning across 150 kilometers. It was very thin, so thin that the naked eyes could hardly discern it. Its trajectory was even filled with some rhythm. This crack was not purely a straight or a curved line.

“Almost there. It is sufficient for me to reach this stage of control. After this, I should be fusing the three ‘Thread Phases’ together, and then with the ‘Poly Phase’, returning them to a nirvinic state.” Xue Ying pondered.

The Dao of Void had a total of nine branches–Sky, Earth, Void, Origin, Slaughter, Thread, Empty, Poly, and Nirvana Phases.

“Weaving of the Thread Phase, fusing the Poly Phase as one before returning them to a Nirvanic state.”

Xue Ying mumbled to himself.

His right hand plucked the air again.

Albeit this time, every finger was slightly swaying.

“Hu, hu, hu.”

Three lines of cracks that tore the membrane of the Origin World appeared one after another. When the third crack appeared, they began converging onto one single line. The outcome was a pitch-black hole about ten meters in diameter.

“Not right. This is too crude.”

He once again plucked his fingers out.

He continued testing and adjusting it.

With the memories from his avatars linked, his comprehensions were constantly merging and improving. Some ideas he had were eliminated after testing them out. And thus, Xue Ying was gaining more experience! He was constantly getting closer to success over time. As Xue Ying owned a Chaotic Origin Weapon, and had peak-graded secret treasures, he had felt the Dao of Void at the ‘final realm’! Hence, he knew that he was constantly moving towards his goal.

…

“So it seems that I should be fusing five threads as one.” After experimenting for half a year, only then did Xue Ying discover his error. This inspiration garnered from his experiment led him to create the sixth killing technique. It was formed by taking reference to that terrifying Chaotic Origin Lifeform flying in the void. But precisely because there was a gap between his experiment and what he ‘saw’ in his memory when that Chaotic Origin Lifeform swam, only then did he know what the right state of combination was.

Indeed, it was fusing five threads into one.

The swimming motion of its tail consisted of three threads.

But its huge body was of ‘one thread’. And the surrounding Chaotic Origin Energy perfectly fusing together with its body was also of ‘one thread’.

Only then did it form ‘five threads’.

“Five threads fusing as one.”

“One to guide it, one for power, and three as the foundation.”

“I am left with fusing all the phases as one before returning them to Nirvanic state!”

Xue Ying sat cross-legged at the head of the boat. At this moment as he continuously tested his technique, each time made his technique even more violent. It had produced a commotion so big that even ‘Swordmaster’ and ‘Old Monster Stone’ came to have a look. The two of them watched from afar, chuckling before leaving. It was very normal for Xue Ying to produce such a disturbance during his cultivation.

******

Now that he had the embryonic form of the technique, and even with the aid from the Seven Bell Pagoda, Xue Ying still spent 20,000 years before succeeding.

He had met too many issues during this process.

For instance, fusing the five threads as one. Each thread contained millions and millions of variations. They had to intersect with one another perfectly across many places, perfectly fusing together as one.

“Hong.”

On the day 20,000 years since he cultivated at the head of the boat, Xue Ying’s eyes suddenly brightened. He punched his fist out.

“Hong–”

The surrounding void where his fist struck out became quiet. It suddenly shattered, breaking apart of membrane wall in the Origin World. This terrifying fluctuation directly blasted out into the endless Chaotic Origin Space.

This fist was just like how that huge Chaotic Origin Lifeform fly. It was grand and unblockable!

Tyrannical!

Powerful!

Xue Ying had finally fused all nine branches together as one in his Dao of Void. The final part was also using ‘Nirvana’ as the final state, to turn everything into nirvinic destruction.

“I’ve created the sixth killing technique, and have also reached the final realm.” Xue Ying’s heart was palpitating really quickly. There was a smile which could hardly be concealed on his face. The sixth killing technique was formed from the fusion of all nine branches perfectly! He finally comprehended the complete Dao of Void.

“Final realm. I’ve finally reached the final realm!”

“The final realm in the Dao of Void!”

“Hahaha, hahaha…”

Xue Ying could not control his laughter.

It had been too long.

Ever since he knew his hometown was constantly moving towards the Great Apocalypse, he could feel a huge burden pressing down on his body! He could not accept his hometown being destroyed, watching as his loved ones died and leaving behind just himself alone. This loneliness would make him mad! Hence, he did not dare to relax. After reaching a bottleneck from fusing eight branches together, he had no other choice but to try and create a technique that he recognized to be more perfect.

He constantly pursued after perfection. The first killing technique, the second technique, the third technique… every technique was created and every technique increased his experiences.

Finally, once he accumulated sufficient experiences, everything followed through.

With the inspiration from the perfect utilization of profound mysteries when that Chaotic Origin Lifeform swam away, he had an enlightenment to create the sixth killing technique. This was also a technique that made use of all nine branches fusing as one.

“The feeling of the Dao of Void at final realm is indeed different.” Xue Ying chuckled. Standing at the head of the boat, he could survey through all spatial particles in the entire Origin World. He could easily engulfed the entire Origin World, and saw Swordmaster, Old Monster Stone, Forefather Tian Yu, Blade Emperor, and his wife Jing Qiu, his children Dong Bo Yu and Qing Yao…

He could see them without them feeling anything.

After all, this was a perception done through the essence of void, the black fog spherical particles.

But there was one who sensed Xue Ying.

“Oh?” Within an ordinary cosmos, the incarnation of Luo City Lord had become a blacksmith and was currently focusing on crafting a blade. Suddenly, he had a feeling which caused him to look upwards. His gaze cast across a huge distance before landing at Xue Ying. With a smile, he said: “Dong Bo Xue Ying, congratulations to you! You have reached the final realm in the Dao of Void before the Great Apocalypse arrives. Now you can save all the people that matter to you.”

Xue Ying currently understood the identity of Luo City Lord too.

There were legends over Luo City Lord even in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

This was a newly emerged Chaotic Origin Lifeform who broke through using his cultivation. And according to rumors, he had already reached the highest level of peak and should not be too far off in his strength as compared to ‘Yuan’. If one had to describe him, this Luo City Lodr should not be any weaker than the two terrifying Chaotic Origin Lifeforms that fell in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range!

This was the difference between cultivators and natural Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.

Even if natural Chaotic Origin Lifeforms were stronger, their control over their power was much weaker. Cultivators had reached where they were step by step. Hence, their control over the laws and profound mysteries were simply too exquisite. Even if Luo City Lord was comparable in his strength with those terrifying Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, his survival capabilities would most likely be ten to a hundred times stronger.

Even ‘Emperor Summer’ from the Realm Heart Great Land and those World Masters in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range were initial Emperors in strength!

But when they faced with Great Emperors!

World Masters were practically powerless, yet Emperor Summer could still escape. Even if Emperor Summer fought with a few, he could still escape without dying.

“If not for Luo City Lord’s World Flowers, I might not know when I would be able to break through.” Xue Ying replied humbly.

“Opportunities can be given by others. Strength still has to be grasped by the cultivator.” Luo City Lord chuckled, “Alright properly cultivate. If you could reach the final realm in your Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, I would feel admiration for you.”

Final realm in the Dao of Void?

A peak level Chaotic Origin Lifeform like Luo City Lord who overlooked many Origin Worlds did not care too much!

Instead, it was the Dao of Soul that nobody had ever reached the final realm. If Xue Ying could achieve it, Luo City Lord would naturally feel admiration for him. Any other Chaotic Origin Lifeform would feel admiration.

“I’ll definitely try my best.” Xue Ying no longer felt any pressure.

Without the suppressive feeling from the Great Apocalypse, he had sufficient time to cultivate.

But he was clear that despite seeing his path in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, it was not easy to reach it! One could see how difficult it was even with his Dao of Void as Xue Ying attempted to break through. He had already reached the bottleneck a long time ago. He even had a supreme secret impartation guiding him, yet he only reached the final realm after creating six killing techniques.

Luo City Lord lowered his head and went back forging the blade embryo in his hand. He lightly mumbled: “I wonder what kind of mystical effect would there be if one reached the final realm in the Dao of Soul. Dong Bo Xue Ying? He might possibly be able to break through to the Chaotic Origin Realm! By then, I do not have to stay here looking over this place for eternity anymore.”

The sound of forging continued.

“Blacksmith, Blacksmith, bring out your toughest blade for me! I want the toughest and strongest blade! If I could find one, I would definitely treat you well.” A voice came from outside as a huge hunk rushed in.

“Coming!” Luo City Lord shouted back with a smile.
