Lord Xue Ying

“Hong.”

His consciousness was ringing. The originally huge and vast Origin World had become part of him. Currently, Xue Ying’s perception of the Origin World was just like how a mortal view his own palm.

‘Truly beautiful.’

Xue Ying’s level of life rapidly rose. His consciousness continued moving higher and higher and soon, it was riding above the entire Origin World.

Xue Ying currently looked down on the entire Origin World. It was beautiful. It looked just like a light-emitting disk! Under his current ‘examination’ as a Chaotic Origin Expert, his hometown Origin World was precisely a disk that shone brightly. It was truly beautiful. It’s just that this disk was gradually expanding. Though Xue Ying could see with a glance that it was also bump and full of potholes as if its essence was thinly spread across. One could see many issues lying within.

This was an Origin World moving closer towards the Great Apocalypse.

“Hu hu hu~”

Xue Ying could clearly sense how easy the ‘Origin Source of the World’ was purifying the Chaotic Origin Energy from the endless Chaotic Origin Dimension, protecting the beings living in the Origin World. This transformation was incredibly efficient. However much it consumed would be however fast it could convert the energy. It’s just that the Origin Source of the World had a limit to how much energy it could withstand. Hence, the living beings it could support within was limited too.

‘My power is truly endless within the Origin World. Even if I consume it fast, I can easily replenish them through the Origin World.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘Nonetheless, my avatars outside in the external world would have a much harder time replenishing their energy.’

Currently, the fleshy body and soul of his avatar back at his hometown Origin World were rapidly transforming.

Both his fleshy body and soul were advancing towards the level of a World Realm Chaotic Origin Level. The fleshy body and soul at this level was too terrifying. It required a tremendous amount of energy! Only the ‘Origin Source’ of an Origin World could support this rate.

Many Chaotic Origin Experts would usually dispatch a ‘Prime Avatar’ outside primarily responsible for guarding important places or to battle! And several other avatars would be used just for patrolling, observation, and guiding the descendents. Such avatars were usually very weak!

‘At this moment, I am unrivalled within this endless Chaotic Origin Dimension.’

His avatars at his hometown, on the Realm Heart Great Land and the Cultivation Sacred World were all part of his energy.

Being a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

His energy would naturally have a limit. If an avatar was powerful, others would be weak!

Currently, an avatar of his contained 90% of his energy! The other trillion avatars would only add up to 10% of his total energy! Hence, the energy held within the weak avatars of Chaotic Origin Experts responsible for patrol and sentry were usually very weak. But even if they were weak… their quality was still at the Chaotic Origin Expert Level. Just a strand of energy was sufficient for them to Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.

‘The energy that a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform has is too frightening.’

‘Even if the Prime Avatar is destroyed, the amount of energy required for a weak avatar to reach the degree of a Prime Avatar is immense… it’ll take a very very long time just to absorb sufficient energy from the endless Chaotic Origin Dimension.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘And the efficiency of absorbing it from the Origin Source of the World is much faster.’

As Xue Ying perceived the energy at the Chaotic Origin Expert Level, he gradually understood how battles were carried at this level.

For instance, if a Prime Avatar was to die in battle!

Most could easily nurture another Prime Avatar from within the Origin World before sending it out again!

As for absorbing the Chaotic Origin Energy using those weak avatars? The efficiency was too low!

“Yi?”

‘Most World Realm Chaotic Origin Experts can only absorb energy from the Origin Source of the World of their own Origin Worlds. But I am different.’ Xue Ying had an idea, ‘My soul could easily fuse into any ‘master-less’ Origin Sources. I can rapidly absorb energy from these Origin Sources.’

Xue Ying suddenly discovered that he had one unique aspect that made him different from other World Realm Chaotic Origin Experts.

That was he could form many avatars scattered across the master-less worlds and guard those places! That way, if he discovered an enemy, he could easily dissipate his Prime Avatar and let the avatar closest to the enemy absorb from the ‘Origin Source of the World’ to the level of a Prime Avatar.

‘Is this also an advantage of a cultivator that has reached the final realm in the Dao of Soul?’ Xue Ying was inwardly astonished.

It seemed that the breakthrough in the Dao of Soul had such a huge benefit to the Chaotic Origin Expert.

…

Before Xue Ying’s level of life advanced, jumping out of the cage to become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform, all the living beings within the entire Origin World gradually woke up from the illusory realm. They had even forgotten about the thought of ‘recognizing Xue Ying as the Master of the Origin World’. Even after refining the Origin Source of the World, Xue Ying easily made them forget what they experienced in the illusory realm.

And thus, the living beings within the Origin World resumed their daily lives.

Even though Forefather Tian Yu, Swordmaster and other Cosmos Gods were not imparted with any thoughts, they felt startled and bewildered after waking up. Because Xue Ying did not conceal from them the fact that they were struck with an illusion.

‘Have I fell into an illusion? What a powerful illusory realm?’ Swordmaster was startled, ‘Was it Xue Ying?’

Ever since Xue Ying’s strength rose beyond the five Great Supremes in the Realm Heart Great Land, other Cosmos Gods like Emperor Summer and Swordmaster had frequently come to find him for teachings. They once experienced the soul technique of Xue Ying too.

Even though Swordmaster would find himself falling for it, he could barely resist the process.

But this time, he seemed to have been struck by the illusory realm silently.

‘It seems Xue Ying’s strength has increased again?’ Swordmaster was inwardly startled. But he did not know that Xue Ying had already become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

…

Of course there was someone that knew of Xue Ying’s breakthrough.

He was none other than Luo City Lord who was currently drinking tea in a teahouse. He had watched as the surrounding beings stop all forms of activity for a breath of time, falling into a daze. Luo City Lord could sense that all living beings in the entire Origin World were struck similarly and only regained their consciousness after a breath of time.

‘Is it a Mirage and Illusory Realm? Has he reached this realm already? Is it the final realm?’ Luo City Lord was slightly startled and curious about it.

‘Dong Bo Xue Ying seems to have really walked until this level.’

‘Mn? This world has a master?’

‘World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform?’

How acute were Luo City Lord’s senses? He could easily confirm that this Origin World was no longer master-less. Following that, he discovered Xue Ying’s rapid transformation in his fleshy body and soul.

‘Haha…’ Luo City Lord laughed, he laughed exceptionally vibrantly, ‘It seems that after reaching the final realm in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, the cultivator would rapidly advance to become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform?’

‘Among all World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, Dong Bo Xue Ying should be the one who specializes most in soul techniques. I wonder how far he can walk until? Could he become an Overlord?’

As long as one grasped Dao at the Chaotic Origin Level, that would represent becoming an Overlord!

Like ‘Yuan’, being the most ancient Overlord, he was the first to become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform. And it was over years of accumulations did he finally become an Overlord.

‘Since this world has an owner, there is no need for me to stand guard here over it.’ Luo City Lord nodded slightly.

He was an Overlord.

And he was responsible for protecting vast regions of territory. Xue Ying’s hometown Origin World was precisely within the region of his territory! As Luo City Lord was afraid that this Origin World might encounter a true ‘Calamity’, he chose to arrange an avatar to guard and be a sentry over this place. Even though this avatar was weak, his realm was sufficient. Naturally, he could discover any potential danger at the first instance.

As for the Great Apocalypse? Luo City Lord did not really care about it.

The Great Apocalypse and Nascent Rebirth of an Origin World was just a natural process. It was not a ‘Calamity’.

‘I haven’t guarded it for too long and now I no longer need to do so.’ Luo City Lord chuckled.

This Origin World originally belonged to ‘Yuan’s territory.

But after Luo City Lord broke through, the other Overlords immediately re-shuffled the territories! They passed on a huge region for Luo City Lord to guard. After all, protecting a vast region was quite a tough job to the Overlords.

After re-partitioning the territories, this Origin World now belonged to Luo City Lord’s territory.

Of course——

Once a world had a new master, the World Realm Chaotic Origin Expert would be able to fight against Overlords in their own Origin World! Hence, there was no need for him to protect this place.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying, congratulations!” Luo City Lord transmitted with a chuckle.

…

“Many thanks to Luo City Lord for protecting my hometown Origin World.” Xue Ying transmitted over. He also gradually found out about this at Cultivation Sacred World that the Overlords were responsible for guarding over large pieces of regions. Even the Origin Worlds were protected by them.

“I did not really protect it for very long. It is a minor matter. But now, you are still breaking through so there is no need for you to split your attention.” Luo City Lord said.

“Mn.”

Xue Ying was indeed in the process of breaking through.

His fleshy body and soul were advancing to the next level, and he was also familiarizing himself with it.

‘The Origin World seems slightly broken. I shall first let it recover.’ With a thought, “hong~” The energy across the entire Origin World moved according to Xue Ying’s will. Originally, the Origin World that was slowly expanding started contracting. The degree of contraction was incredibly huge. The ‘Primal Chaos Void’ within the Origin World was also contracting, and the cosmos were pulled along with it.

The distance between each cosmos was also reduced, by half, one-fifth, one-tenth, one-twentieth…

Under Xue Ying’s observation, the entire Origin World rapidly recovered. This ‘disk’ that seemed broken and filled with potholes started recovering back to its original splendor. The disk contracted, and those potholes were also becoming smaller! Once the disk shrank to one-hundredth of its original size did the Origin World finally stop shrinking.

At this moment, this ‘disk’ that the Origin World manifested itself as, was incredibly delicate and glossy.

If one said that the initial Origin World was where even a brat that had not become a Chaotic Origin Lifeform could easily enter through the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique, then now, it was a grand Overlord! Others could hardly penetrate into it.

It was completely sealed. No gaps were revealed.

Of course, one could still enter after gaining the permission from the World Master…!

The difference between an Origin World with a Master and one without was huge!

‘It seems to have recovered rapidly.’

Xue Ying could feel his control over the Origin World was similar to how he controlled his body.

‘No wonder others said that I can compete with Overlords within my Origin World.’ Xue Ying thought in admiration. If he sent out a punch… he could fuse the complete energy of the Origin World onto the fist. This fist would also be unfathomably strong.

Just like an Overlord, if he were to enter an ownerless Origin World, he could easily destroy it by releasing his full power.

Because the energy of an Origin World was scattered. And it could not resist against the overwhelming force! For the sake of bringing forth a Great Apocalypse, the Origin World even gave birth to Destruction Devils naturally! An Origin World could not execute effective techniques simply because it consisted only of the most fundamental laws.

But with a master…

The master could pour in all energy of this Origin World into himself! He would also be unparalleled.

******

In his hometown Origin World, on a small Primal Chaos Land where no living beings were on.

Xue Ying stood here with a bewildered look on his face.

Currently, his body was perfected. With a thought, countless grayish inscriptions could even be seen moving on his body. His eyes were deep and dark.

‘My body and my soul have both reached the Chaotic Origin Level. And this is the World Realm Chaotic Origin Level.’ Xue Ying perceived the energy in his body. His gaze could easily cast through the Origin World into the vast endless Chaotic Origin Dimension. He could even look at the Origin Worlds far beyond. His visibility had been broadened.

If he deliberately chose to, he could lock on to a region and thoroughly examine it.

This was the natural ability the ‘eyes’ a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform had.

‘Every movement of mine seems to be filled with power. Right now, any punch of mine would contain the profound mysteries at the Chaotic Origin Level.’ Xue Ying frowned and shook his head, ‘But even if I can use it, it doesn’t mean I have comprehended the essence.’

Just like a mortal, he could use a bow and arrow to attack an enemy.

But how was the bow and arrow crafted? Why could it be so strong? What profound mysteries were held in the bow itself? And how unique was the arrow?

The mortal did not have to know them yet he could still use it.

But if one comprehended the essence, then things were no longer similar! For instance, by clearly understanding how the bow and arrow was crafted, one could know how to make the bow stronger! Or what material one could use to craft the arrow to increase its power! Or perhaps, one could even refine the material itself! Once one thoroughly understood it, he could go on and craft the most perfect bow and arrow!

That was the case for ‘Overlords’. They comprehended Dao at the Chaotic Origin Level and could push their level of life to the highest level——the Overlord Class. During battles, they could also greatly unleash their strength completely different from others.

‘Chaotic Origin Experts have to cultivate and comprehend the profound mysteries too. The more they grasp, the greater the strength of their body and soul they could unveil.’ Xue Ying thought.

If one dug the strength of his body to the pinnacle, that would mean reaching the peak of a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

If one wanted to advance further… to the Overlord Class?

One had to comprehend ‘Dao’ at the Chaotic Origin Level. This was also what every World Realm Chaotic Origin Expert desire.

…

Xue Ying had accumulated the deepest knowledge in both the ‘Dao of Void’ and the ‘Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm’.

Hence, Xue Ying could easily grasp part of the profound mysteries of the ‘Dao of Void’ at the Chaotic Origin Level inherent on his body. He could even execute several techniques with it! At the same time, he was also examining his soul, deducing several techniques out. Every World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform had something they were good at. And for now, Xue Ying specialized in both Dao of Void and his Mirage and Illusory Realm.

‘Oh right, there is something important I have to do.’ Xue Ying turned towards the boundary of the Primal Chaos Void, ‘Sared Master! It is time for me to eliminate him!’

“Peng.”

With a thought, the Lost World Corridor that originally nurtured the Destruction Devils, shattered apart. All Destruction Devils hiding within, other than Sacred Master, had all died.

“There is no need for my Origin World to have any Destruction Devils.” Xue Ying muttered lightly. Destruction Devils were born to bring forth destruction. Xue Ying disliked it a lot. There were naturally other means to train the living beings in his Origin World. These Destruction Devils that loved massacres, would best be eliminated. At the Realm Heart Great Land for instance, they did not have any Destruction Devils at all.

“Sacred Master.”

Xue Ying sneered.

Even after becoming a Chaotic Origin Expert, his killing intent towards Sacred Master had not decreased.

…

‘What?’

Sacred Master who had been hiding in the Lost World Corridor all along, felt that the entire Origin World had transformed. He was shocked. Reaching his level, he could sense that the Origin World was no longer moving towards a Great Apocalypse.

And all of a sudden, the Origin World was rapidly recovering. The Origin Source of the World was also growing in strength! It seemed to have contracted the Primal Chaos Void?

The Lost World Corridor was becoming closer to the ‘Ancient Sacred World’ too.

‘What is happening?’ Sacred Master was stunned.

The Primal Chaos Void had always been expanding. Why did it contract all of a sudden? And its rate of contracting was too terrifying.

It seemed to be half its original size? One-tenth? One-twentieth?

Sacred Master was at a loss!

‘What exactly is happening?’ Sacred Master had a strand of terror gnawing at his heart. He had guessed of something possible, ‘Does it mean that a new master has emerged in this Origin World?’

He always sought to grasp an Origin World, though it seemed an expert had achieved it?

“Peng!”

The surrounding Lost World Corridor dimension suddenly exploded and shattered.

Sacred Master looked around him vacantly. Everything seemed to shatter. The entire Lost World Corridor seemed to disappear. Even the Destruction Devils were wiped, leaving behind just he, Sacred Master.

“Hu.” A white-robed young man appeared in front.

Sacred Master looked at that white-robed young man who stepped through the void over. The other party’s aura seemed vast and grand. He, Sacred Master, could not help but soften and kneel down. Just as he knelt down, Sacred Master immediately gritted his teeth to stand. He glared at Xue Ying as he tried resisting against the unseen pressure, so much that his lower body was trembling. He bit his teeth so hard that blood started trickling.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying!” Sacred Master stared at Xue Ying, “Have you succeeded in reaching this stage? Have you grasped this Origin World and become a Chaotic Origin Expert?”

Xue Ying merely looked at him. He did not say much.

“Do you want to kill me or to torture me?” Sacred Master growled. He knew that given what he had done in the past, it was normal even if Xue Ying chose to torture him for long periods. Currently, he was like an ant before Xue Ying, where he had no strength to resist at all.

“Torture?”

Xue Ying shook his head, “It is best that you disappear from this world forever.”

“Weng.”

Sacred Master was wiped! Not even a single dust was left behind from his existence.

Xue Ying shook his head slightly. At the moment when he saw Sacred Master, he could see how vast the gap in life they were. And Xue Ying chose to simply wipe the other party away.

‘Teacher.’ Xue Ying thought about his Teacher Gu Qi. He had never chatted with the true body of Gu Qi before.

‘There is a chance.’ Xue Ying grinned.

‘There is also father, mother, and many other people.’ Xue Ying chuckled.

He could easily sense all living beings that had emerged in the history of this ‘Origin World’! From the first era since the emergence of this Origin World, right from the first life… and all lives that had been birthed in the history of the Origin World were within Xue Ying’s control. Naturally, all living beings in this era were also within his grasp. And now, his father, his mother, little brother, Uncle Tong, Uncle Zong, his Teacher Gu Qi…

As long as they were lives that appeared in the history of this Origin World before, from being as weak as a mortal to as strong as a CosmosGod!

As long as they had not become Chaotic Origin! Xue Ying could move their souls from the era that they died before to the present, easily making them eternal.

This was a technique that the ‘Origin World Master’ could execute.

Life and death? Past and future?

They no longer held much meaning to the master of an Origin World. No matter what, in his Origin World, past or present, life or death, as long as they had not become a Chaotic Origin Lifeform, they were all within the grasp of the Origin World Master.

‘My current soul is way stronger than that when I was a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform.’ Xue Ying exclaimed inwardly, ‘I have predicted that it would take me approximately one billion years before I can completely fuse my Dao of Void at the Half-Chaotic Origin Level with my Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm perfectly. But it seems my soul has become much stronger than before.’

The soul of a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform is indeed several times higher than the soul of a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

Currently, in his mind, his Dao of Void was constantly absorbing the profound mysteries from his ‘Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm’ that reached the final realm. They were also fusing together at a very rapid pace.

‘Estimatedly…’

‘I should be able to succeed in fusing them within four hours?’ Xue Ying mumbled inwardly, ‘By then, I’ll become an Overlord?’
