Lord Xue Ying
chapter-1380-30041322

Every since Xue Ying comprehended the Third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm Killing Technique in the Lightning World, his soul had a qualitative transformation. Furthermore, it was infinitely reaching the final realm. He could even sense the Origin Source of a world, and was so close towards fusing with the source. The moment he fused with it, then his soul would remain undying as long as the source of the world existed!

But he was almost there. This slight gap made Xue Ying feel suffocated.

Ever since his cultivation reached the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body Realm, Xue Ying had practically poured all his concentration on the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm. He wished to fuse both his fleshy body and soul together.

But despite his huge desire to break through, he still could not do so!

After leaving the Lightning World and arriving at the Cultivation Sacred World, Xue Ying had cultivated here for several hundred billion years. Nonetheless, the final thin layer in his Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm could not be pried open still.

And at this very moment——

As the huge leg of the Sea of Abyss Master landed, sneering at him as if he was stomping an ant to death, Xue Ying did not really care about himself at this juncture. Instead, he was watching as the cultivators face death calmly, and how it was pointless to resist against absolute strength. Nonetheless, his heart could decide how he should deal with this.

Even weaker cultivators would still think of themselves as unparalleled in their hearts.

The freedom in their hearts…

That was the beauty of every life.

‘Freedom.’

‘Freedom.’

Xue Ying could still recall when he saved those that had been enslaved by ‘Sacred Master’, with their souls being controlled. At the time when he saved them, those countless souls had been rejoicing…

At this moment.

Seeing the cultivators dying calmly gave Xue Ying a sudden epiphany: ‘The most marvelous aspect about this world is the living. Every single life has his or her own dreams. Precisely because all living beings have their own will makes this world so much more brilliant and exciting! If a world has nothing living in it, it’ll be a piece of dead world. If all living beings in a world are controlled, then those beings are simply walking corpses; they do not have any wish or desire.’

‘If a world has a soul, then the living beings living in the world are also the soul of the world.’

‘Only when a world has a soul would it be exciting to live in.’

‘A world without soul is colorless.’

Xue Ying had long accumulated sufficient experience and understanding on the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm. At this moment when the epiphany came, he switched the direction of his thinking.

In the past, he had been looking at the Dao from the perspective of a world. He wanted to perfect his ‘Mirage’, yet he was always lacking something. But now when he changed his perspective, looking at the Dao from that of each ‘living being’… Every living being was an unremarkable part of a vast world. But it was because of each living seed… that made a world so exciting.

The five branches of the Dao of Mirage were currently being guided by the ‘Soul Lineage’.

And now, he who had already accumulated to the pinnacle was suddenly enlightened. It was like the ‘Dao’ had been perfectly completed, just like adding the finishing touch to a painting! At this moment, his comprehension was fusing together as one.

Most often, when one reached the limit in his accumulations, all he needed was just an inspiration.

And after he understood everything, with a ‘hong’, Xue Ying’s soul started the final metamorphosis.

He could sense the Origin Source of a world initially. At this moment, it was like he had entered the embrace of a mother, where everything was within reach. Xue Ying’s soul naturally fused into the origin of this world, which was also its soul! The soul was the most mysterious energy. It was condensed and formed from the essence of the Origin Source of the world. That was also why collecting the ‘Blood Spirit Essence’ from other living beings would have a better effect than using the Origin World Rock.

And this soul that had reached the final realm, also known as grand perfection, seemed to permeate through everything easily. The source of the world could not obstruct it at all.

Because of a breakthrough in comprehension!

Because of the fusion of his soul into the origin of a world! Xue Ying was currently filled with endless happiness!

And that’s why his eyes had revealed an unprecedented vigor.

“Peng!”

As the leg trampled down, Xue Ying’s body shattered.

Even though his fleshy body might have been exterminated, his soul remained undying.

While the origin of a world exists… his soul would remain eternal!

…

Weather Leaf had fled in another direction. His left and right hand, ‘Xie Fan’ was also escaping behind him. They paid notice to what was happening over at Xue Ying’s direction.

Watching that huge leg descend from above the clouds, it trampled Monarch Flying Snow to death.

‘Even if one has a greater talent or is more powerful, he’ll similarly die.’ Xie Fan gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with madness, ‘Monarch Flying Snow is dead. Very soon, everyone else will die too. By then, it’ll be me, and Weather Leaf…”

‘Unless.’

‘Unless someone breaks through to the Chaotic Origin Lifeform Level. Perhaps we might be able to survive.’ Xie Fan thought. Bloodline Awakening would only allow one to become a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform! Currently, even though the Sea of Abyss Master was being suppressed completely by the arrays, he was still a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform. Despite being suppressed, he could most likely still kill a new High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

Of course, if one broke through to become a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform, he could still survive! At least he could escape much more easily! As for the Sea of Abyss Master, he was being shackled all over. His speed would be greatly influenced. Even though he was much faster than the cultivators, compared to a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform, his speed might still be slower.

‘But reaching the Chaotic Origin Level isn’t this easy.’ Xie Fan thought.

He did not have a Chaotic Origin Bloodline. If he wanted to have a breakthrough, he would have to force his way up. That would mean less hope for him.

‘Perhaps?’ Xie Fan still harbored a strand of hope.

Any cultivator that had reached the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body Realm could still possibly have a breakthrough.

…

‘Brother Flying Snow.’ Weather Leaf signed.

He was proud.

At Scarlet Cloud City, he was only close with Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor. The two of them had reached sufficiently profound levels in their realm. As for Wu Xiao? Even though he was as strong as them, Wu Xiao relied on his heaven-defying bloodline. His accumulations in his realm could hardly be compared to the two of them.

In the end, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor relied on the bloodline of Quiet Icy Mountain Master to guide all nine bloodlines he had to an Ultimate Awakening, breaking through to the Chaotic Origin Level. Furthermore, he even created an entirely new Chaotic Origin Lifeform Tribe.

Weather Leaf admired Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor a lot, and he similarly admired Xue Ying. Xue Ying was also currently the cultivator he admired most in the Cultivation Sacred World.

‘He has reached such deep levels in the path of soul, yet… ai, it is going to be my turn soon.’ Weather Leaf thought.

Following that, he continued running for his life.

The Sea of Abyss Master merely proceeded to kill the cultivators from one direction to another. As long as he was sufficiently fast, he could delay for a longer period. Perhaps, he might be able to survive? No matter what, he must not give up.

******

‘Monarch Flying Snow has also fallen.’ Wu Xiao watched silently, ‘Whatever, it is about time for me to leave.’

In the entire Cultivation Sacred World.

There was only one person that was confident of escaping——Wu Xiao!

Wu Xiao was the most outstanding descendent a magnificent Overlord had. Even as the descendent of an Overlord, it was as hard for him to become a Chaotic Origin Lifeform. He came here by himself to experience and to train. And his old ancestor——that magnificent Overlord, had long left something behind in his soul. As long as he activated it, it would immediately pull his soul away.

According to what his old ancestor said, as long as he did not meet an Overlord Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform, he would be able to escape.

Even though he had a way of surviving, Wu Xiao was not willing to use it if he was not pushed to the brink of death. Because the moment he used it, his soul would be pulled back to the Old Ancestor! And that was simply a humiliation to Wu Xiao.

‘It seems I have no other choice.’

“Weng.”

With a thought.

He activated it.

His body started crumbling apart. And his soul had been engulfed by a dazzling white light. With a flash, it disappeared from this world.

“Mn?”

The Sea of Abyss Master who was currently massacring the cultivators, felt something in his domain. The soul of a cultivator had actually left it. That white flash even made the Sea of Abyss Master tremble. Of course, that slight bit of energy had merely injured him lightly, yet it still made the Sea of Abyss Master revere the quality of this energy.

That energy came from the so-called most terrifying ‘Overlord Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform’ known to all Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. Furthermore, it even left some fear in him.

He understood.

That in the vast Chaotic Origin Dimension, when Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms dug their bloodline to the pinnacle, they would become Overlord Class Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. All of them were incredibly powerful and had unfathomable techniques. There was even an Overlord Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform with a Time-Space Bloodline that was once killed by the Cultivator Overlords, yet he was able to revive himself over a long period of time.

That magnificent existence was ranked at the bottom of those Overlords, yet he could continually revive himself from time-space, remaining eternally undying.

Every ‘Overlord Class’ magnificent existence had their own heaven-defying techniques. They could also injure the Cultivator Overlords too.

Nonetheless——

The eight Cultivator Overlords were one level higher than the Innate Chaotic Origin Overlords. All of them had comprehended the essence of the highest level of energy. They had completely comprehended their ‘Daos’. Perhaps they might be injured, but want to kill them? It was impossible for others to kill their ‘Prime Avatar’, much less the other avatars that were located within their own Origin Worlds. By borrowing their own Origin Worlds, World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeforms were practically unparalleled, much less Overlords.

‘That is the strength of an Overlord! That cultivator is being protected by an Overlord?’ The Sea of Abyss Master thought.

“Hmph.”

The Sea of Abyss Master no longer thought about it. Right now, he was suppressed by the sealing arrays. Even though he could barely maintain some of his strength, it was insufficient to break apart these shackles. He could not leave this ‘Prison World’. That’s right, this Cultivation Sacred World was a huge prison to him.

He continued walking, killing more cultivators with his steps.

******

As long as the origin of the world existed, his soul would be undying.

“Weng.”

Xue Ying felt mystical. The Origin Source of this Cultivation Sacred World was like an enormous lump of light. His soul had fused into it.

Even if the fall of his avatar damaged his soul, it had recovered instantaneously.

‘Dao of Mirage, final realm…’

Xue Ying was currently familiarizing himself with it.

As he just broke through, he needed some time to familiarize with the new energy in his body. However, he knew that many cultivators were constantly dying at this moment. Hence, Xue Ying had to think of something and determine if he could save those cultivators.

‘How can I save the cultivators before a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform?’ As Xue Ying thought through, no matter what, even though his Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm had reached the final realm, he still was not at the Chaotic Origin Level. So how could he save the others?

As he pondered, he examined his Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm and thought through how he could make use of the ‘Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm’ on himself.

“Mn?” Xue Ying suddenly revealed a look of joy.

‘It appears that after fusing with the Origin Source of a world, I can do this?’ Xue Ying was delighted. He felt that the dispersed World Energy within this Cultivation Sacred World could be completely controlled by him! Even part of the energy from the origin of this world could be moved! According to legends… by refining the Origin Source of a world and becoming the master of the Origin World, then that would mean he could completely control all energy of the Origin World.

Even though he could control just part of the Origin Source energy, he could still control the entirety of the dispersed World Energy.

It’s a pity that this was a slightly smaller world that could not compare with an Origin World.

‘Fuse with the Origin Source of the World? Even though it is far weaker than refining the Origin Source, I can still control part of its energy.’ Xue Ying was excited in his heart. He could not be said to be the master of this world, yet he was considered an ’emissary’.

‘It seems there is hope!’

“Hu.”

Xue Ying immediately began executing his plan. He had to do it quick so that he could save as many cultivators as he could.
