Lord Xue Ying
chapter-481

Within the hall were a total of four World Deity guards who went forward to surround Gong Feng, including the black-robed old man and his subordinates. All of them were stage three World Deities.

Crimson Stone Courtyard was relatively unique, and the stage three World Deity guards here were more formidable than normal.

"You, you dare…" Gong Feng couldn't believe her current situation.

"Take her out," Xue Ying coldly ordered. By this point, he no longer cared about Gong Feng. His nature was such that he disliked dealing with such meager matters, but with such a person jumping right in front of him, there was no way he would show mercy.

"Let's go. World Deity Gong Feng, do you perhaps plan to resist?" The four surrounding World Deity guards looked at her.

Gong Feng glared at Xue Ying. Her eyes betrayed her unbridled fury, but she did not dare to resist arrest.

Those hundred whips…every last one would hurt down to her soul!

Xue Ying did not treat this conflict with Gong Feng as a major matter. He was focused mostly on his current combat power and obtaining that absolute art which even powerful existences desired! It was his fortune to have become a personal disciple of the Bloodshed God Emperor, giving him the chance to learn an absolute art. Without such an opportunity, it would be too difficult to acquire such a technique.

The way he saw it, it was only those with great combat power that truly had stable influence. Gong Feng, for instance, depended on her position to gain power, but such a status could disappear like the wind if someone even higher than her wished it!

Naturally, there were also many World Deities who could no longer improve their combat power. It was such people who saw aiming for higher official positions as a good method to increase their influence.

Xue Ying's true body and avatar were located at Crimson Rock Mountain and Crimson Stone Courtyard respectively, both immersed in cultivation. His true body and avatar were cultivating in a hundred-times accelerated environment, doing their best to improve.

The Time Immemorial Body was easily raised to the fifth level, which brought about a qualitative change in his survival capabilities! Now, his body would certainly not crumble apart from just the sound waves emitted by the prisoner's roar.

The Great Chaotic True Force also reached the fourth level with relative ease, causing his strength to explosively increase.

Of the two secret techniques he learned in the Sealed World Pagoda, one he termed World Shackles, or the Shackle Technique. The other he called the Herculean Technique. The latter was quite similar to his World Deity ranked secret technique, the "Great Chaotic True Force", but it used the Chaotic Deity Heart as a foundation. In terms of how profound it was, however, it greatly surpassed the Great Chaotic True Force!

This Herculean Technique from the Sealed World Pagoda belonged to the same category as the Great Chaotic True Force, but it was simply stronger! By this point, he could very well give up in training the "Great Chaotic True Force" altogether!

Hua hua hua~

In the sky above the vast land of Xue Ying's inner world, there was a huge cloud formed from the water droplets of the Great Chaotic True Force. The cloud had begun to gradually shrink after Xue Ying decided to give up on the technique, but there was now a different cloud beside it, even bigger in side. This new cloud surged with power from the countless black snakes slithering within. This was the Xue Ying's new Herculean Technique.

The two techniques were very similar in the way that both transformed World Deity energy into water droplets, yet the Herculean Technique's water droplet were made up of many flowing jets of water which, in an exquisite manner, formed into black snakes that looked like black whips. This form made it possible to exhibit more might—the Herculean technique was a few times stronger than the Great Chaotic True Force at the fourth level.

If I use this Herculean Technique, I should be strong enough to threaten the prisoner's life, Xue Ying thought. I will still have to improve my usage of the Laws of Profound Mysteries, though, and must also create more powerful secret skills.

He first focused on the domain-related secret skill which used the Shackle Technique to form a World Prison.

Of course, this secret skill had also improved after he became a stage two World Deity.

Within his cultivation room in Crimson Stone Courtyard, the black-robed Xue Ying was in a sitting position as countless thin black shackles surrounded him. They enveloped the entire cultivation room, continuously moving and attacking in certain specified direction. They would first stack up and then immediately rush over to restricting the specified location. Xue Ying, as a personal disciple of the Bloodshed God Emperor, had naturally received a cultivation room able to accelerate time a hundredfold, to an even better quality than the cultivation room within Crimson Rock Mountain.

This time's cultivation session lasted for a total of three thousand years. Naturally, when taking the time-accelerated environment into account, only thirty years had passed in the external world.

Hu.

Dressed in ordinary black robes and wearing a calm expression, Xue Ying flew along the mountain range next to Crimson Stone Courtyard. After this closed-door cultivation session that lasted for three thousand years, his secret skills and secret techniques had all reached the very peak they could arrive to in a short period of time. Any attempt to improve further would most likely be fruitless.

I've cultivated for a total of three thousand years, during which I've brought my use of the Laws of Profound Mysteries to a new high. Furthermore, through the fusion of the two secret techniques from the Sealed World Pagoda, I might see some hope. Xue Ying soon arrived to the location of the array ripple, and a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. He would try his best to succeed this time around!

He grabbed the token and immediately passed through the ripple.

Inside, he was met with the same dark area from before, and no life forms other than the prisoner with his arms bound by shackles. At the moment, the prisoner was sitting cross-legged with his head lowered, after which he slowly raised his head to look at Xue Ying. His face was covered in black scales, and his pair of red eyes betrayed his suppressed fury.

"You again?" the prisoner said in a low voice before roaring ruthlessly. "Scram for me!"

Just like before, the terrifying sound waves exploded out in every direction, just like ripples forming on the surface of a lake. Xue Ying couldn't escape the effect of these waves, and his figure could be seen rippling along under their impact. However, countless black shackles then began forming around Xue Ying, spreading out rapidly to cover the entire dark area.

These black shackles showed incredible toughness, seeing how the sound waves of the roar were unable to destroy them. After being enveloped by the countless shackles, the sound waves quickly decreased in power, and what force finally reached Xue Ying's fifth level Time Immemorial Body was negligible.

Forget these waves that already had their power reduced, Xue Ying's body would not have been destroyed even under normal circumstances!

"Isn't this getting interesting?" The Great Demonic God looked up and swept his gaze across his surroundings.

Dang dang dang~

The countless thin and long shackles were present in such dense amounts that they actually filled every last corner. Occasionally, they would clash with one another, sending out metallic ringing sounds. Despite having surrounded the figure of that Great Demonic God, the shackles did not seem to attempt to bind him.

"Brat, you are truly here to kill me?" The Great Demonic God sneered. "I've been tortured here, in the Deity world, for so many years; I've long since grown tired of it. In fact, I've also been looking forward to my eventual death. But it was you, a tiny stage two World Deity, who they sent out to do the job? Isn't that too much of a joke?"

"I am here to kill you." Xue Ying nodded. "But I am also quite curious as to why a Great Demonic God of the Dark Abyss would be kept as a prisoner here."

"Hmph. I've nothing to fear by telling you this." The Great Demonic God chuckled. "It's the Deity world's own damn fault for being so pleasant. There are countless forms of life who carry out peaceful lives throughout the many planets here, but the Blood Sea Demon Body I cultivate requires me to the slaughter innumerable living beings. Back in the Dark Abyss, every last area is under the control of a territory lord, and every region of the world also has its sovereign! I thus decided to switch worlds and enter the Deity world. Hehehe, with how vast the Deity world is, as long as I casually hid my location, it wouldn't be so easy to find me… I killed and killed, carrying out a delightful massacre. I've consumed blood, flesh, and soul beyond measure, even my blood sea began began to take shape. My only regret is that, right as I was planning to go back, a stage four World Deity discovered me. Such misfortune… I had dared to barge into the Deity world, however, so I'd long since made my preparations. But not for a moment did I consider that those powerful existences would actually act in person to destroy my true body and hold this avatar of mine behind as a prisoner. Did I not just take some lives on a few planets? What worth were those life to the entire Deity world?

"What do you think, brat? Are you furious? Come now, take what action you will." The Great Demonic God sneered. He no longer had such matters like life and death in mind. He was well aware that, as a prisoner in this place, he would definitely die in the end.

Xue Ying looked at him coldly but couldn't be bothered to respond.

Hua hua hua…

Many figures of Xue Ying wearing starry-blue robes began forming all around the dark region. There were nine total world bodies, and ten figures in total when including his true body! Xue Ying's high attainments in the aspect of World now allowed him to condense the maximum number of world bodies possible: nine bodies.

The ten figures scattered in different directions, all of them holding onto spears as they stared at the Great Demonic God who was sitting cross-legged in the center.

"Kill!" the black-robed Xue Ying said.

Hua hua hua~ The countless black shackles, which had previously been moving around by the sides of the Great Demonic God, began stacking up on top of him. Added up, they created a restrictive force that was incomparably mystical, which completely enveloped the prisoner in a tight embrace. The nine world bodies immediately followed up with attacks.
