Lord Xue Ying

Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor was truly stunned. His surroundings had become quiet. He even felt his body turning cold and his thinking lagging by a step. Even though he did try his best to stop Quiet Icy Mountain Master, the other party was moving too fast. And once Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s reaction was slowed… Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor understood that he could not stop the other party at all.

Given his strength, he could survive without doubt. But he could not protect Xue Ying.

‘I should have arranged two more apex experts to protect Monarch Flying Snow.’ At this moment, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor felt a strand of regret. He was simply too confident of himself! Of course, it was because Xue Ying had the strength of an apex expert on the Dao of Void. If Xue Ying merely had the strength of a Grand Perfection God Emperor, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor would not have dared to be so confident. He would definitely arrange two to three more apex experts to protect Xue Ying.

‘It is up to Monarch Flying Snow now.’

Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor could only watch as everything happened before him. This feeling of watching Monarch Flying Snow fight with Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor gave Quiet Icy Mountain Master a strand of panic.

A layer of water formed on the surface of Quiet Icy Mountain Master’s body. His claws and hooves were even covered in this water layer. That strange water layer… as determined by Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor, should be a Dao of Void utilization at the Chaotic Origin Level that boosted Quiet Icy Mountain Master’s strength by several percentage points.

“Peng.”

Both parties clashed.

And the result was Monarch Flying Snow being forced backwards with his spear. Even though he spurted blood as he flew, his life force did not seem to have diminished.

‘Very good. He could only injure Monarch Flying Snow lightly!’ Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor felt elated. After all, the group of cultivators were currently working together. Some of the domain techniques they could cast had already been released and were suppressing Quiet Icy Mountain Master. Injuring an apex expert in one move… happened only after the Chaotic Origin Prisoner ‘Quiet Icy Mountain Master’ threw in all his techniques.

“Chaotic Origin Prisoner, die!” At this moment, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor had regained the clarity of his thoughts. He flipped his hand, causing nine tentacles to extend out of his palm. Those tentacles headed at Quiet Icy Mountain Master.

“Sou.”

When Quiet Icy Mountain Master saw Xue Ying spurt some blood and was merely forced back by his full-powered technique, he knew that Xue Ying was also an apex expert. Hence, he did not hesitate to escape!

“Hold them back!”

“I order for you all to disregard everything and hold them back at this instance.”

Quiet Icy Mountain Master sent an order down to all his protectors under him.

As for himself, he maintained his true body and fled madly using his fastest speed…

“Stop him!”

“Stop him.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor and the other cultivators might be trying their best, yet when Quiet Icy Mountain Master turned crazy, he could still easily charge through the blockade after exchanging with some injuries.

“Chase after him!”

The cultivators were anxious.

However, the surrounding Quiet Destruction Wolves poured in and continued entangling the cultivators. They were all unafraid of death and killing them was no easy task.

“Hurry!”

“Hurry!”

The cultivators worked together. With Vice-City Master Wu Xiao charging at the front of the ‘arrowhead’, the other cultivators were coordinating perfectly with him.

And they were dashing forward! Even though they were being hindered by these Quiet Destruction Wolves, they were still moving pretty fast.

An hour later.

They finally hurled behind the 6,000 over Quiet Destruction Wolves completely!

“We have finally cast them back.”

“It is no easy task.”

Xue Ying also felt himself letting a sigh of relief. He had no choice. Dealing with those Quiet Destruction Wolves was not easy. They came on them batch after batch! There were even many more Quiet Destruction Wolves rushing in from the outer perimeter to stop them from moving. It was quite amazing they could escape out of the blockade after an hour.

“Continue chasing!”

“Chase after the Chaotic Origin Prisoner!”

…

An enormous golden bird enveloped the team of cultivators. Every flap of its wing easily brought the team through the sky. They were moving at an incredible speed.

Even though they could not locate ‘Quiet Icy Mountain Master’ with their naked eyes, the cultivators had already sent out countless ‘spies’ to track down the movement of Quiet Icy Mountain Master. Even as a Chaotic Origin Prisoner who could completely conceal his aura and keep it hidden, he could not hide his shackles at all.

“Xiu.”

Quiet Icy Mountain Master was escaping in a flurry. He continued rushing towards his territory using the fastest speed he could muster.

Nonetheless, he was simply too far away!

There was no choice. Every time he went out for a ‘patrol’, he would have to travel out further so as to reduce the pain he suffered.

“King, we are unable to stop them from escaping.”

“We have let them go.”

One by one, his subordinates began transmitting over.

Quiet Icy Mountain Master felt both sorrowful and angry in his heart: “Truly a bunch of trust. With over 6,000 of you, you actually let them escape so quickly?”

He was doing his utmost in running.

By maintaining his true form, his injuries were constantly deteriorating. The golden inscriptions marked on the surface of his body were constantly flashing. They were simply resplendent because now was the period where the punishment came! During the eruption of the punishment, the further he got from his territory, the weaker the torture he would feel. Nonetheless as he ran towards his territory, the pain he was suffering from continued worsening.

‘They are here.’

Quiet Icy Mountain Master saw them.

Approximately two hours or so later, he finally saw a huge golden bird arcing through the sky in his direction. It was moving at a speed much faster than his.

Within the huge golden bird was that group of cultivators. They contained Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor whom he despised, and that white-robed young man who specialized in soul technique.

“Chaotic Origin Prisoner, you can’t escape from us!” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s voice reverberated in the world.

“Hong——”

A Nine-Colored Domain came over, suppressing the fleeing Quiet Icy Mountain Master and reducing his speed considerably.

“Hong hong hong…” The group of cultivators immediately began their mad attack. They felt much more delighted than the previous time because they did not have to deal with the entanglement from the protectors. They could throw in their full strength against their target! Some combined attacks with others, while others struck with their entire strength at the Quiet Icy Mountain Master.

Even though Quiet Icy Mountain Master was still relatively far from his territory, his strength had already increased by 30%.

Nonetheless, his current situation was dire.

Because without being held back by any obstacles, the cultivators’ power had more than doubled.

“No!”

Quiet Icy Mountain Master frantically retaliated.

But it was futile. With layers of obstacles, and Vice-City Masters Wu Xiao and Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor acting as vanguard, Great Emperor Heaven Calamity and other cultivators surrounding him, they continued sending waves of attack at him. As for the Grand Perfection God Emperors, they were located at the outermost perimeter and were combining techniques.

This Chaotic Origin Prisoner had reached an impasse. Right now, he could not even kill a single cultivator.

‘He is dead for certain.’ Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

Facing a group of cultivators alone.

Once his techniques were made known to the cultivators, how would the cultivators still give the Chaotic Origin Prisoner a strand of chance?

“Don’t rush headlong into it. We should be a little more careful and a little more patient.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor reminded the other cultivators, “Currently, he is maintaining his true body. His injuries are constantly worsening. As long as we delay for more time, he will definitely die! There is no need for us to risk our lives.”

“Understood.”

“Haha, it seems this Chaotic Origin Prisoner is slightly mad.’ The cultivators were perfectly coordinating with one another as they fought with the struggling Chaotic Origin Prisoner.

A formidable High-Grade Chaotic Origin Lifeform!

Under punishment restrictions, was being forced by a bunch of Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeforms to the very last moment of his life.

‘Who would have thought that I would die in the hands of some brats who aren’t even a Chaotic Origin Lifeform.’ The Chaotic Origin Prisoner Quiet Icy Mountain Master felt his injuries worsening. He was constantly getting closer to the end of his life, and was very much filled with grief and indignation. Those layers of shackles extended deep into every single part of his body. If only he could release his full strength, he would simply wipe out these ants in one single move.

But it was futile.

‘There would be a day, a day when us Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms send an expert down to this world and save those imprisoned comrades of ours. He would also wipe out all those cultivators. Also, those powerful Overlords that protected countless dimensions… would definitely fall one day. When that day comes, the entire endless Chaotic Origin Dimension would belong to us!’ Quiet Icy Mountain Master howled in his heart.

…

Finally.

Under the besieged by the group of cultivators, that Quiet Icy Mountain Master finally lost his last wisp of aura. He simply fell down onto the icy plains. The wounds on his body, muscles, and bones remained unchanged.

“He is dead.”

The cultivators went taciturn momentarily. They watched at the corpse of this High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

They understood that if not for the punishment and suppression, how would it be possible for them to kill a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform even if they worked together?

Following that…

An uproar. Cheers and discussion ensued.

“We finally succeeded!”

“Haha, we finally eliminated the Quiet Icy Mountain Master!”

“We succeeded!”

“Not a single one of us died.”

The cultivators were clearly in exuberance.

“Congratulations Brother Nine-Headed.”

“Congratulations City Master Nine-Headed for getting what you desired.” The cultivators came to congratulate the Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor. And Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor similarly went over to the corpse of that Quiet Icy Mountain Master with excitement. He gave it a thorough examination before keeping it with a wave of his hand. Just as kept the corpse, a ‘peng’ was heard and that Storage Eden Treasure shattered apart, causing quite a few materials to scatter around. That Quiet Icy Mountain Master corpse appeared once again.

Those present began guffawing.

“Haha, this is the corpse of a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform. Most storage treasures are unable to hold it in.”

“Nine-Headed, you haven’t even prepared a storage treasure for it?”

The cultivators teased him.

Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor felt helpless. A powerful lifeform would bring about an intense suppression within a dimension! Like the hometown cosmos that Xue Ying came from, a Primal Chaos Expert would produce a powerful suppression on a cosmos. Or a storage treasure for instance… the more formidable the storage treasure was, the stronger the pressure it could withstand. Even though this Quiet Icy Mountain Master had fallen, the suppression produced by the corpse of a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform… was way stronger than any suppression produced by these Grand Perfection God Emperors.

“Sou.” In the end, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor was forced to bring out a strange, enormous sack that was able to keep the entire corpse of a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

“Fellow cultivators.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor turned to the group of people. His entire face was filled with smiles, “This time, it is thanks to everyone here that we are able to successfully slaughter a Chaotic Origin Prisoner! I’ll distribute the corpse of this Quiet Icy Mountain Master according to what we promised. After returning, I’ll bring the heart and blood away while the remaining parts would be given to Brother Flying Snow. This success can be greatly attributed to Brother Flying Snow too.”

The cultivators present all turned to Xue Ying.

That’s right.

It was largely attributed to Monarch Flying Snow. Without Monarch Flying Snow, how could they deal with Quiet Icy Mountain Master under the protection of 6,000 over Quiet Destruction Wolves?

Xue Ying added: “It is due to the teamwork of everyone that we were able to kill this Chaotic Origin Prisoner.”

“That’s right, it is the hard work of everyone!” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor said, “I’ll definitely do what I promised everyone. Right now, it is time for us to return home!”

“Go go!”

“Time to go home!”

“This feels awesome! We cultivators could even kill a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform. This is splendid!”

“Why are you so delighted? That is a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform suppressed down to a very weak level.”

“But that is still a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform!”

The cultivators were clearly in a splendid moment. They chatted with one another happily. Soon, a faint light covered the team, causing their presence to disappear from the world. That was when they began their journey back home.
