Lord Xue Ying
chapter-1034

Of the ten great religions in Realm Heart Great Land, eight came from the six great ancient nations!

The Southern Cloud King had personally started a religion that could be ranked in the top ten. One could see how powerful and resourceful this king is. He held the Snow Hook King in contempt. Even though the other party was powerful, the king cared only about himself. Whenever he was angered, he would actually fight head-on with the six great ancient nations and the Black Devil Great Lake. Every time he did so, a vast calamity would arise that resulted in countless deaths and injuries across the country.

As for the Southern Cloud Nation, it was the most prosperous and stable nation out of the Black Devil Four Nations.

'Black Devil Great Lake, I do not know when it is that I can completely destroy it.' Southern Cloud King thought.

He contemplated while watching the floating Heaven Observation Mirror.

The three Monarchs and five Conferred Kings were also watching it.

"My incarnation has suffered from a joint attack by 12 Primal Chaos experts, of which three of them have reached the ninth level strength." Monarch Chun Yu's expression was cold and sour. He said, "I don't think my incarnation can last for long."

His incarnation remained deep in sleep for long periods as a means to guard the place.

By relying on his incarnation, his consciousness could still be maintained.

Once this incarnation was destroyed! Monarch Chun Yu could no longer sense the space-sealed Ardent Fire City. Hence, he could no longer send his incarnations in!

Under ordinary occasions, when a city was attacked, the Cosmos Gods could easily send their incarnations in. Large batches of experts could also be teleported in to provide aid to the nation too. Hence, few dared to wantonly massacre within cities belonging to powerful countries. But this was an operation started by the Black Devil Great Lake. Before acting, they actually sealed the space.

'Why, why? So many disciples from my Ying Shan Clan and that Little Fellow Xue Ying… why can't we give him a little more time to grow?' Old Mother Ying Shan felt agonizing pain in her heart. She was indignant and mad. Given her temper, she would have killed her way over, yet it's a pity she could not find the place.

"Old Mother..." Empress Ghost Li transmitted a voice message by the side and consoled her.

******

And in the Black Devil Great Lake, within a huge grand palace, there were all sorts of precious gems inlaid in this interior space. There were even many arrays covering the walls.

A faint boundless might could be sensed permeating the entire hall.

At this moment, there were three existences seated at the highest position. The one sitting at the center was a middle-aged male garbed in a black robe. A huge strange six-ringed diagram had appeared behind him. This six-ringed diagram was constantly revolving about. Within this diagram contained an endless death aura. Even Cosmos Gods present did not dare to look at that diagram since they would feel dread and their mind being displaced once they did so.

To the left was a cheerful old man. One would feel pleasant when looking at him. He did not seem to release any suppressive aura.

And to the right, there was a green-robed male who had a pale, sickly expression. Huge blood-colored meandering void figures could be seen around him.

The three of them…

Were the three religious masters from the Black Devil Great Lake. They were famous huge devils across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Many clans from the six great ancient nations would feel alarming fear when they hear their names.

"Haha, it is rare for us to make a move against the Southern Cloud Nation. I believe when the operation begins, many nations will pay attention to the scene of the Blood Sacrifice." There was a total of seven Cosmos Gods seated below and many other devil masters. Only about 20 or so figures were qualified to sit within this palace hall.

Of course, the majority of them were incarnations.

"If it is a Blood Sacrifice of some small little nations, it isn't worth mentioning at all. But a Blood Sacrifice on a city under the Southern Cloud Nation is huge news. The Black Devil Four Nations would definitely pay close attention to it. Some of the nations around would likely turn their attention to this place too."

"We must turn the city into a spectacular sacrifice."

They were all chatting with smiles.

Those present were all devils!

Speaking from the inner hearts, they preferred living in prosperous places. Who would ever like hiding in such a strange place like the 'Black Devil Great Lake' where space was unpredictable? But they had no choice. The six great ancient nations needed stability and to reproduce many more cultivators. Hence, these devils would frequently be chased and pursued after! Some of the stronger ones would join the prominent clans as Honored Guests.

And some who committed grievous offenses and were rejected by the more prominent clans could only flee! They would escape to the gathering places of devils since only such sites were where these devils could unite.

It was during the Blood Sacrifices that would satisfy these devils the most. They had been escaping and hiding for far too long. Only during the occasional times would they turn back to these nations to bare their fangs!

"Hmph hmph… so what if it is the Southern Cloud Nation? We should find an opportunity to send a city from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation for a Blood Sacrifice. Only then would it feel more satisfying."

"No rush, no rush. There will be an opportunity in the future."

"Come come come, let us have a drink."

The Cosmos Gods and devil masters were all chatting with smiles.

And the three religious masters seated at the highest positions would occasionally speak too. The current atmosphere within the entire palace hall was extremely joyous.

...

Ardent Fire City, Marquisdom, inside the Void God Pagoda that was situated in Xue Ying's cavern-dwelling.

There was a great floating stone.

And a handsome white-robed young man sitting on it. A spear was placed on his knees.

"Hong long long~"

The space within the Void God Pagoda was like billowing waves surging. The spatial waves would occasionally tear apart many of the undercurrents within. This tearing force was abnormally horrifying. Ordinary Primal Chaos giants who dare to appear here would likely be torn apart into smithereens and die instantly at that moment.

Xue Ying was ultimately used to cultivating. It was not considered long for him to enter closed-door cultivation for 10 billion years in one go. Currently, it had only been 1.5 billion years, and he was still wholly immersed within.

According to the habit from his previous life, most would only leave closed-door cultivation after entering a bottleneck. Right now, he was happily comprehending and was not in a rush to go.

"Xue Ying, quickly come out! Come out now!" Marquis Ardent Fire anxiously transmitted over.

"Prince, prince, hurry out!" Magic Servant Zi Bai transmitted too.

"Prince, hurry out now! Hurry hurry, we don't have enough time!" Tian Yi Zhi anxiously transmitted over as well.

"Let Magic Servant Zi Bai. I have some trouble over here. It is unlikely for me to defend myself so don't come over to where I am." Marquis Ardent Fire hurriedly followed up after that.

There was a continuous chain of voice transmissions.

It forced Xue Ying to stop his cultivation. He was feeling slightly shocked as this chain of voice transmissions had caused his heart to tighten.

"Even Grandpa Marquis is having a hard time surviving?" Xue Ying felt startled.

He did not care about other matters.

"Sou."

Grabbing the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, Xue Ying took a step before arriving at the entrance of the Void Pagoda. "Hong long long", the sealed doors began opening. Just as a small gap was formed, Xue Ying rushed out with a "sou".

"Hu."

As he arrived outside the Void Pagoda, Xue Ying saw how Magic Servant Zi Bai was no longer his usual carefree self. The fan in his hand was not being fanned, and instead, he was anxiously saying: "Don't resist. I'll bring you away." Saying that as he was prepared to keep Xue Ying into his Eden treasure, Magic Servant Zi Bai suddenly stopped as he looked at Xue Ying with shock.

How come the aura of his prince had changed…?

Primal Chaos Realm?

"Prince, you broke through to the Primal Chaos Realm?" Magic Servant Zi Bai was shocked. His clan's prince had a void bloodline. If he broke through to the Primal Chaos Realm, he would undoubtedly be better than a magic servant in escaping.

"Mn."

Xue Ying casually answered. His attention was placed more on the distant.

Currently, his gaze crossed through the obstacles of space. Xue Ying was able to see that at the highest location in the center of the Ardent Fire City, there was a holy and pure white-robed male seated in midair. A black bottle was floating in front of him. This bottle diffused out some faint ripples that covered the entire Ardent Fire City.

'What ripples are those? What function does it contain?' Xue Ying felt puzzled. This ripple did not seem to be dangerous at all.

But closely following that, he understood.

"Kill."

With his current realm, Xue Ying was able to clearly perceive the entire Ardent Fire City. Many armored soldiers were slaughtering the people. They were a team formed by Unity realm experts, and any one team had the strength at God Yuan Palace sixth level. How could the civilians within Ardent Fire City resist against it? They were easily killed.

As they were killed, unseen energy was produced that moved with the ripples into the black bottle.

'Blood Sacrifice?' Xue Ying understood there and then.

He had read many different books at the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and understood that this was the Blood Sacrifice conducted by Black Devil Great Lake.

Just like the Primal Chaos Void, after the Destruction Devils were killed, the cultivators could absorb the dispersed energy from them to nourish their souls! And it was likewise for the Destruction Devils. They would similarly grow stronger after killing the cultivators.

Hence, when cultivators died, their soul would leave behind unique energy. It was impossible for cultivators to absorb them within the Primal Chaos Void–only the Destruction Devils could.

But on the 'Realm Heart Great Land'.

It was discovered a long time ago that the unique energy within the soul of each being actually came from the most essential part of the Origin World. It could even be collected.

'Blood Sacrifice' was done to collect this essence energy of the soul of cultivators. And the core of the entire Blood Sacrifice was that one single Blood Sacrifice Magic Bottle. Cosmos Gods who knew how to refine treasures for Blood Sacrifice could be counted with one's fingers in the entire Realm Heart Great Land! And only three out of the six great ancient nations knew how to refine this Blood Sacrifice treasure. One could see how difficult it was to cultivate this technique!

And it was 'Yama Religious Master' of the three religious masters from the Black Devil Great Lake who knew how to refine it.

'Blood Sacrifice?'

'Ardent Fire City is being used as a Blood Sacrifice?' Xue Ying felt startled. Following that, fury began filling his chest. His eyes turned red the next moment.

Saying it was slow, though everything happened quickly within the hearts of Xue Ying. In reality, it had only been a blink of time.

"Prince, we should leave now. Madam and Ying Shan Lie Hu have both been brought into my Eden treasure. As for prince's father, Ying Shan Lie Hu, he should still be at the Misty Cloud Pavilion. It is too far, and we don't have sufficient time to save him." Magic Servant Zi Bai anxiously urged.

"We have discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying!" A joyous sound was transmitted from afar.
