Being holed up within a cave, one would eventually starve to death.
But since Xue Ying had already decided to search for a route to survival, that afternoon on the same day, he quietly leapt out of this cave in search for a means of living.
“Sou.” Xue Ying was very agile and flexible. With the aid of the World Energy, his actions did not emit any sounds at all.
“I should not get close to that secretive cavern palace. The defense there is too heavy, and even the weakest black-scaled soldier would be quite tough for me to handle!” Xue Ying speculated that these black-scaled soldiers were even stronger than Xiang Pang Yun. Of course, he himself had comprehended the ‘realm of myriad existences’, allowing his combat power to increase to a stage where he could easily kill Xiang Pang Yun. Yet against the black-scaled soldier… the final outcome would still be inconclusive!
Having no certainty towards handling even the weakest, it would be pointless to mention those stronger protectors.
“Sou sou sou.”
Quietly, without making sound and with his back towards that cavern palace, he moved towards other areas within the valley of this Black-Wind Abyss, gingerly searching along his way.
The valley of this Black-Wind Abyss was really spacious, spanning over five kilometers wide, with the narrowest parts being at least three kilometers.
“Everywhere is full of weed and moss. It seems like for the past ten thousand years, nobody has come here.” Xue Ying was observing the surroundings as he walked. Suddenly, he saw a huge fissure on the large piece of land in front of him. The fissure was cross shaped, with one of the sections being three to four meters wide and approximately ten to fifteen kilometers long.
The other fissure though was only one to two meters wide and three to four kilometers long, with one the ends extending all the way to the walls of the valley, tearing through an enormous crack within. This crack in the wall was close to a hundred meters wide, extending all the way upwards beyond the layer of black wind.
“These two fissures?” Xue Ying had some palpitations in his heart. After all, having comprehended the realm of myriad existences, he could feel a terrifyingly sharp and ferocious Qi emanating from the fissures.
“Split apart by weapons! These two fissures were split apart by weapons!” Xue Ying concluded right there and then.
He walked towards the fissures and peered downwards.
At a glance…
The fissure upon the mountain rocks was pitch-black, preventing him from seeing the bottom-most part, only hinting that it became broader the deeper it went.
“It came from beneath!” Xue Ying concluded based on his observations of the markings, “Such immeasurable power, splitting apart the ground from beneath all the way up to the surface of the valley and leaving behind a 15-20 kilometers long fissure.”
Having deduced this, Xue Ying’s expression changed.
My heavens!
This was actually a strike from underground, and its remnant power left behind a 15-20 kilometers fissure on the surface. How terrifying was such a power? That was to say, those towering mountains of a few thousand meters high, towards such an expert, a wave of his hand is enough to split apart the mountain into two! Even a human city would be totally annihilated in just one move!
Such combat power was too incredible. His battle against Xiang Pang Yun on the Snowrock mountain only resulted in the destruction of several huge rocks, trees and rocks on the side of the mountain despite it being such a long fight. The foundation of the Snowrock mountain remained undamaged.
This showed the gap in power.
His combat power compared to such an expert, was just like an ant compared to a gigantic dragon!
“Unless, this was the scar left behind by a battle between Transcendents?” Xue Ying considered, “No wonder, within the memoirs left behind, some powerful Transcendents could even drink with the deities, and these deities even feared them.”
Xiang Pang Yun and Xue Ying’s combat powers did not even have the qualifications for these deities to even pay attention to.
Not to mention the pseudo-Transcendents.
“A true Transcendent is this powerful?” Xue Ying did not dare believe it. His understanding of Transcendents was too shallow, with all of his knowledge based entirely on the memoirs left behind, like the descriptions written on the “Dark Ice Spear Technique”, there was an abridged version stating some techniques required to become a Transcendent. As for what would happen after becoming a Transcendent… nothing was written down.
What would happen after becoming a Transcendent?
No idea.
Precisely due to the small amount of Transcendents existing, mortals would rarely get to meet one! Should a Transcendent actually appear in a certain area, Dragon Mountain Manor would definitely warn everyone there to act more humanely, and never ever anger a Transcendent, else their entire clan would be exterminated. Regardless of whether it was the Si Clan or the Mo Yang Clan… towards a true Transcendent, they would be jittery towards him.
“Such power should be the peak amongst all Transcendents.” Xue Ying secretly thought.
…
At the same moment when Xue Ying was carefully observing the fissure and experiencing the terrifyingly sharp and ferocious Qi, black fog began appearing in every five kilometer square areas within this Black-Wind Abyss valley, before rapidly forming into a black-scaled soldier.
