Lord Xue Ying
chapter-594

Primal Master's identity was initially a secret. Many stage four World Deities did not know of the existence of this ruler. Amongst the Rulers, he was the most secretive yet extraordinary one. Similarly, he was also the oldest Ruler. Besides, he had developed the 'Cosmos Deity-Demon List' during his free time, informing only the experts on the list. Thus, the reputation of the 'Cosmos Deity-Demon List' was very small, and few knew of it.

In the vast cosmos, only the group of top existences knew of it.

Xue Ying carefully looked through–

1st, Bloodshed God Emperor

2nd, Abyss Primogenitor

3rd: Primal Master

...

8th: Pang Yi

9th: Bloody Ruler

10th: Monarch Green

11th: Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction

12th: Monarch Hex Cricket

13th: Water Devil King

14th: White Sovereign King

15th: Bitter Cultivator

16th: Purgatory Great Commander

17th: Paragon Huo Cheng

18th: Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master

19th: Mysterious North Imperial Empress

...

44th: King Patrol Devil

45th: Pan Yu

46th: Blind Old Man

...

50th: Purple Gown Hex Emperor

51st: North Wu Palace Head

52nd: Monarch Dong Bo

...

55th: Forefather Golden Firmament

56th: Prison Sea Devil King

57th: Nine Yang Palace Head

...

100th: Forefather Fierce Tyrant

There were only titles on this list; very few would use their true name. Only 'Pang Yi' and 'Pan Yu' had directly used their name.

Pang Yi was more special–that time, he had accepted disciples without restraint to teach them. He was also fair and had candidly renounced all titles.

As for 'Pan Yu', he was a powerful existence who had emerged during the earliest period of cosmos emergence. He was formerly an ordinary dog beast who cultivated step by step. After becoming a powerful existence, his relationship with Monarch Hex Cricket became very good. However, when Monarch Hex Cricket became a Paragon, there appeared to have some tensions between the two of them, resulting in them parting their ways ever since.

'In the vast cosmos, the top 100 strongest existences.' Xue Ying exclaimed in admiration inwardly, 'Who would have thought that I am ranked 52nd, higher than even Nine Yang Palace Head, Forefather Golden Firmament, and many other powerful existences.'

Ranking at 52nd was indeed a very high ranking for him. He was comparable to people like Violet Gown Hex Emperor.

'But I am still questioning myself if there exist many flaws in my secret skills.' Xue Ying pondered, 'Like Nine Yang Palace Head and the rest, they have their absolute arts, yet I am ranked beyond them?'

'Unless it's because of my True God weapon and stellar defenses which had a huge advantage against them?'

Xue Ying was guessing.

The True God weapon 'Flying Knife' wasn't brought along with him to the Dark Abyss. Thus, he had never used it. But what identity did Primal Master have? He should know that those who joined the Destruction Legion would obtain a True God weapon, and a True God weapon would increase his combat power. During the consideration for the rankings, Primal Master must have certainly taken into account his True God weapon.

Nine Yang Palace Head did not own a True God weapon! Besides with his heaven-shattering defenses, even Paragons like 'White Sovereign King' who was famous for his battling techniques, could only cause his armor to take damage. Such a defense was his biggest strength, and these were all taken into account to give rise to his current ranking.

...

At the same time when Primal Master was transmitting this new set of Cosmos Deity-Demon List, he had also transmitted it to other existences on the list.

Everyone discovered the change in the list. Due to the short interval between the releases, everyone could perceive the clear difference by the appearance of Xue Ying. He had caused everyone beneath to move back by one position. 'Sovereign Star Meteor' had even been kicked out of the list.

'Monarch Dong Bo? That should be His Highness Dong Bo. I've heard that he has taken up the role as one of the Monarchs of the Five Places in Bloodshed God Palace, yet he could be ranked 52nd so quickly. His senior disciple brother, Monarch Gu Zang, is only ranked 49th." Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor who was currently cultivating under Primal Master praised. His ranking was just slightly higher, but he did not seem to mind.

Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor was different from others. He did not care about absolute arts. What he focused more was on all sorts of cultivation path. That was why he might only be ranked 50th, but his foundation was solid. His specialized in all kinds of different paths and had cultivated to the limit for all of them. Any of these paths could be used to open his own Dao; it might even be possible that he would open a few Daos in the future.

"I hope he doesn't overly fixate himself in chasing after strength." Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor chuckled.

Paragon Huo Cheng glared at him from the side, "Violet Gown, don't say this to my Brother Dong Bo. With his cultivation speed, he should be able to transcend sooner or later. Why do you have the time to talk about others when you have yet to become a Paragon! He is also a member of the Destruction Legion, and the moment he transcends… he has hopes of bringing the absolute art of the Destruction Legion to an even more profound level. By then, he should be able to fight against Paragons!"

"It isn't he who is powerful. It is the absolute art crafted by Lake Heart Island Master that is powerful. The strongest experts across the many epochs have spent so much blood and effort in creating an absolute art, so it is normal that it is so powerful." Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor commented.

"Hmph hmph, he isn't powerful?" Paragon Huo Cheng turned slightly angry, "The Destruction Eden is just right there. If you have the capabilities, then you can take the trials too. See if you can enter the Destruction Legion too. In our cosmos epoch, other than Pang Yi, only Brother Dong Bo can do so! Unless this isn't his power?"

Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor was startled.

That's right.

Although not many knew about the Destruction Eden, those at the higher level would know of it, yet till now, all of them had failed to join the legion. Only Pang Yi and Xue Ying had succeeded.

"It's my wrong." Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor chuckled, "It is indeed his strength that enabled him to become a member of the Destruction Legion."

"Hmph hmph, that's right." Paragon Huo Cheng said, "Oh right, Brother Dong Bo has just informed me that he will be holding a feast three months later. Are you going or not?"

"I'll not be going. This time, I've gotten quite a lot of reward from the ancient cavern dwelling. I'll still be here reflecting in peace, seeking that spark." Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor replied, "You help me bring some gifts over, and also help mention it to Dong Bo Xue Ying. Currently, I have no wish of getting distracted."

"Alright alright, I know." Paragon Huo Cheng nodded.

He knew the temperament of this new disciple brother of his.

Violet-Gowned Hex Emperor was in love with cultivation and research, and it was normal for him to cultivate for 10 billion years in one ago. This time, he had obtained a huge reward from the ancient cavern dwelling so he would naturally not be willing to be distracted.

...

The many apex experts of this cosmos epoch knew of Xue Ying, and from then on, Xue Ying had entered this circle as well.

******

This time as he hosted a feast, even though it was primarily his father-in-law who sent out the invitations, Xue Ying personally invited some of the experts with a higher status like North Hu Palace Master, Monarch Gu Zang and the rest, like the Paragons–Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master and Paragon Huo Cheng. Regardless if they came or not, he would at least send an invitation!

Amongst which, Xue Ying had even personally invited a powerful existence–Forefather Golden Firmament!

'Forefather Golden Firmament has an old grievance with Jing Qiu. This matter could not be faulted on Jing Qiu, though to deal with someone who is carefree and specialized with escape, a powerful existence which even Paragons have a hard time in killing… there is no need to fight all the way on.' Xue Ying thought, 'This is a good time to resolve the conflict.'

Forefather Golden Firmament was someone with no concerns; such people were the hardest to handle.

He might not be able to deal with Xue Ying, yet he could entirely deal with Jing Qiu unless she hid in her territory forever!

And even Xue Ying himself could not cope with Forefather Golden Firmament as his escaping techniques were indeed too formidable.

"Forefather Golden Firmament, I am Dong Bo Xue Ying." Xue Ying did not have the transmission imprint of the other party. He had directly used karma to contact him, transmitting a message over.
