“There should be many who saw what happened in that battle right?” The plump male chuckled.

“Mn.” Palace Master Ghost Sea nodded.

At that moment, an unseen ripple began spreading out in all directions. It rapidly permeated through the souls of the closest tens of thousands of natives. The strongest among these citizens was just a Middle Stage God Monarch. Before a ‘Grand Perfection God Emperor’, the gap was simply too big and their souls were easily scoured through.

Of these tens of thousands of natives, only a few hundred or so had witnessed personally what happened at the second floor of the pub.

After all, when the most dazzling Big Missy of High Wind City was captured, many citizens around were nervously watching! Even though they did not dare to stay behind at the original crime scene, and many had gone back to hide in their abodes, how would they know that their souls would similarly be searched despite so.

Not just Palace Master Ghost Sea, even the plump male, ‘Star Wind City Master’ was also searching through the souls of others.

“What!” Suddenly, the expression of Palace Master Ghost Sea changed.

“This…” Star Wind City Master was similarly stunned.

They had flipped through the memories of many, and had seen the battle. Everything ended after the white-robed male pointed his finger, and the void surrounding God Emperor Crane Pit became distorted. God Emperor Crane Pit then fell down onto the ground, dead.

“One move?”

“Just one move? And he did it so casually?”

Palace Master Ghost Sea’s expression became uglier.

Previously, he thought that the enemy was afraid of he, ‘Palace Master Ghost Sea’, because he was so sneaky about his identity. But now that they saw the battle, where the other party killed God Emperor Crane Pit in one single move.

“It’s just one single move.” Star Wind City Master commented about it with a sigh, “There are only at most three to five Late Stage God Emperors who can kill Grand Perfection God Emperor in one move. The most frightening thing is that this white-robed male hasn’t gotten close to God Emperor Crane Pit. He simply tapped out with one finger and God Emperor Crane Pit died despite being distanced. For him to kill the other party so easily, it is highly possible that he is a Grand Perfection God Emperor.”

“Not really. This murderer could have altered the battlefield, deliberately projecting a scene for the other ordinary natives to ‘see’.” Palace Master Ghost Sea gritted his teeth, “This could be a feigned projection and not reality.”

“What Brother Ghost Sea said is possible. But there are many signs of battle left behind around the pub. Judging by the damage done by the distorted void on the walls, tables and stools around it, there is more than an 80% chance of the scene being real. If he is disguising, I can only say that he has disguised the entire battlefield too perfectly.” Star Wind City Master said.

“Help me check through if there are any God Emperor experts in this city.” Palace Master Ghost Sea asked.

“Alright.”

Star Wind City Master nodded.

…

Xue Ying continued drinking the wine. Suddenly, star motes could be seen appearing around him. These little star motes had spread across the entire city.

‘This domain does actually cover quite a huge area.’ Xue Ying revealed a look of shock. These star motes should be created by that Star Wind City Master who could execute the ‘Starlight Penetration’. All those star motes were currently investigating the strength of every sentient beings within the city. Nonetheless, given that Xue Ying’s soul had reached an unfathomable stage, he had easily disguised himself such that even if the scouting technique of Star Wind City Master was stronger by ten times, it would still be futile.

‘The two of them.’ Xue Ying looked upwards.

He saw that Palace Master Ghost Sea and Star Wind City Master had already flown out of the pub. They flew midway into the sky and were currently observing the entire city.

‘With Star Wind City Master present, Palace Master Ghost Sea would not vent his anger on the innocent.’ Xue Ying thought. The personality of Star Wind City Master was relatively good. He befriended various parties, yet had a personality that did not like killing the weak. Even though Star Wind City Master had a weak combat power, he was still a Late Stage God Emperor! Nonetheless, it was due to his Starlight Penetration magical ability that improved his overall standing in the Divine Realm. Many Grand Perfection God Emperors even called him Dao Brother. The three Great Royal Clans were incredibly courteous towards him as well.

Hence, Palace Master Ghost Sea would most likely be a little more reserved around Star Wind City Master.

“You dare to kill my disciple! Yet you dare not publicize your identity?” A voice filled with anger sounded across the entire city. Many Natives of the Divine Realm living in the High Wind City were frightened so much that their hearts tremble. The entire city became silent as the voice of Palace Master Ghost Sea echoed across, “I, Ghost Sea, will remember this vengeance for eternity!”

Soon, that voice filled with anger stopped.

Palace Master Ghost Sea swept his gaze across the place momentarily before speaking to Star Wind City Master.

“Sou!”

Starlight appeared once again. The two of them soon disappeared amidst the starlight. They had left High Wind City.

Actually, even though Palace Master Ghost Sea was a huge devil and would frequently massacre a clan, it was still rare for him to ‘exterminate a city’! In addition, the murderer this time was Xue Ying. Palace Master Ghost Sea’s target was also Xue Ying. If that Early Stage God Emperor ‘High Wind City Master’ was still around, Ghost Sea could very well capture him. Nonetheless, the current city was filled with only weak cultivators. With a friend of Star Wind City Master around him, he naturally did not dare begin killing wantonly.

‘This vengeance is something you will remember for eternity?’ Xue Ying chuckled.

Devil Heart Cultist Master had once said these words in the past too.

Xue Ying laughed and went back to drinking and eating those delicacies. He was incredibly leisure and did not show any fear for Palace Master Ghost Sea. After all, the reason he disguised his identity was primarily because he came from another world! Not just him, even the other ‘Great Emperor North River’ had maintained low-profile primarily because he was also from another world. Since they were outsiders, it would naturally be better for them to stay low-key here!

The moment they attracted everyone, it was fine if normal experts were the ones that came to find them. But what they were afraid of were those three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods! Those were the experts that created this world. Both Xue Ying and Great Emperor North River had ample reasons to show fear for them!

Once he became famous…

It would mean that this world no longer held much attraction to him. It would also be the time for him to leave this world!

…

After filling his stomach and finishing his wine.

‘I have gotten my hands on the Dried Realm Leaf. Now I am just left with the Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin Bead.’ Xue Ying pondered. There was more Dried Realm Leaf ultimately in the Divine Realm. Hence, collecting it was much easier. Xue Ying could simply collect it from the loot after killing a devil––simple and easy. Instead, it was the ‘Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin Bead’ that Xue Ying would have a harder time acquiring since there was only three of them in the entire Divine Realm!

Those who owned one had huge origins.

One was Gold Feather City Master, a Late Stage God Emperor. He was even ranked at the front of other Late Stage God Emperors, ranking at a startling 39th in the ‘God Emperor Ranking List’! Compared to Grand Perfection God Emperors (Supremes), he could even fight without losing that badly.

The second was an Ascendant God Emperor, God Emperor Chun Yu, also a Middle Stage God Emperor. Being an Ascendant God Emperor, he was ranked 162nd on the God Emperor Ranking List!

And the last was ‘Cloud Flow Pavilion Master’, a Middle Stage God Emperor. He was not an Ascendant, and simply had a strength at the Middle Stage God Emperor Realm. Compared to God Emperor Crane Pit, he was not so much stronger. Nonetheless, he had the Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin Bead. How many Late Stage God Emperors yearned for that? Even Grand Perfection God Emperors longed for it and were willing to steal that item for their juniors. But why did nobody snatch it from him?

Because this Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master was the favourite grandson of ‘Cloud Phoenix City Master’. And Cloud Phoenix City Master… was the number one most terrifying existence on the God Emperor Ranking List!

‘The three of them aren’t easy targets.’ Xue Ying thought.

‘Gold Feather City Master is the strongest. Being a Native of the Divine Realm, even though he is clearly a Late Stage God Emperor, his strength has practically reached that of the Supreme Level! But still, he relied on external items like ‘Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin’ Bead’. Otherwise, he would most likely drop down to around 80th to 90th position on the God Emperor Ranking List.’ Xue Ying thought. It was this target who was the strongest that Xue Ying did not fear.

It was easy to deal with those who relied on external treasures and bloodline. Under his third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique, treasures and bloodlines were ineffective! It would be quite good if the other party could maintain his consciousness.

‘An Ascendant God Emperor, even if he is at the Middle Stage God Emperor, will be quite formidable in his soul and willpower. If not for my third killing technique, it would most likely be hard for me to bring him down.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘But now, it isn’t too difficult for me to deal with him.’

‘The most troublesome target is instead, this Cloud Flow Pavilion Master.’ Xue Ying frowned.

Cloud Flow Pavilion Master lived in the Cloud Phoenix City! Over there lived the number one most terrifying expert in Divine Realm! She could rank one amongst all Grand Perfection God Emperors for a reason. According to her battles, she had once killed a Grand Perfection God Emperor in history. And more than ten Grand Perfection God Emperors that lived in the Divine Realm would be defeated and even heavily injured before her! It was primarily because Grand Perfection God Emperors had to fight and train, which resulted in such frightening outcomes.

Those that were killed had been too confident of themselves––they provoked Cloud Phoenix City Master.

‘She could kill even Grand Perfection God Emperors.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘Unless this Cloud Phoenix City Master has a strength comparable to Grand Perfection Ascendant God Emperors?’

Ascendants could fight with those on a higher level.

Late stage Ascendant God Emperors could fight with Grand Perfection Native God Emperors! As for Grand Perfection Ascendant God Emperors? How frightening would that be?

In this Divine Realm…

According to what Xue Ying deduced, there had been two Grand Perfection Ascendant God Emperors that appeared in history, yet both of them disappeared!

‘According to the intelligence reports, of the three of them, Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master has been too pampered. As a result, he became relatively arrogant and has committed the most sins. But he is merely arrogant and wilful! His personality isn’t that bad. There are even times when he had been made use by devils.’ Xue Ying thought. The background of Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master was too big. Naturally, there were others who sought connection with and made use of him.

‘As for Gold Feather City Master, his sins are done primarily because he is a ruthless person. It hasn’t reached the stage that classify him as a devil.’ Xue Ying thought. This Gold Feather City Master was a ruthless person. He did not show any mercy. It was considered normal amongst experts in the Divine Realm. Gold Feather City Master had merely killed more often when he embroiled in various battles.

‘And the final Ascendant God Emperor is the most low-profiled out of them. He mainly focuses on cultivation and rarely battles with others.’

‘Three Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin Beads. I need to get one of them. What should I do?’

Xue Ying pondered.
