Finishing his words, Gong Liang Yuan’s translucent body began flying upwards into the skies.
Dong~ The drum beat reverberated through the entire Hall of Life and Death, and the many mortals understood that the fourth match was a victory! Actually, many of the mortals did not understand what happened – the Qi avatar’s few and extremely quick swords were something that the mortals could not see. But what they saw was Xue Ying spitting out blood as he flew backwards, and yet he won?
But ultimately, they were here to watch the brilliance of a Transcendent battle. Thus, being unable to understand the battle, they could only regret that their scope of view was lacking.
“He can even block the first level of Severing Wind: Fifteen Swords at Myriad Existences!”
“This is getting interesting!”
“However, it is almost impossible for him to win the sixth match just by solely depending on unpredictability and defence.” The eastern viewing platform’s Transcendents were getting more interested in the battle as they sensed… Xue Ying was reaching his limits!
Enlightenment on the nature of the World meant achieving the ‘Realm of Myriad Existences’.
The natural World was full of Profound Mysteries, and understanding them allowed the formation of Myriad Existences! After comprehending the Realm of Myriad Existences one’s understanding became deeper and deeper, one’s control of the World Energy would undergo a qualitative change. Following this qualitative change, the comprehension of the Myriad Existences could be split into three levels.
This represented the depth of one’s comprehension of the Realms!
There were some extremely intelligent Legend rankers, like the top three within the Dragon Mountain Book… who had comprehended up to the second level of the Myriad Existences! Usually, reaching the second level of comprehension in the Realm of Myriad Existences would hasten one’s ability in transcending.
And there were even some who had obtained spiritual transformation after transcending, allowing their comprehension of the World to become more formidable, and thus, reach the second level of the Realm of Myriad Existences.
Regardless—
Those who wanted to solely depend on comprehension of the Realms to win six matches were usually only those who had reached the second level!
The deeper one went in their comprehension of the Realms, the more difficult it would get.
The third level of the Realm of Myriad Existences… was something rarely seen amongst Sky Realm Transcendents. Usually, such Transcendents would have a sizable chance of reaching the Saint Realm.
After the Realm of Myriad Existences, would be the condensation of a True Meaning!
Only those who could condense a True Meaning could become a true expert amongst those of the Saint Realm!
…
‘The pressure is enormous.’ Xue Ying could feel the pressure the battle was giving him, ‘My comprehension of the Realms is still incomplete. The six years I had within the underground great hall allowed me to gain a deeper comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of the Water and Fire of Myriad Existences through the imprinting of both fire and water. The half year period I spent in the Xia Capital, of which I spent most of my time pondering about my spear technique, allowed me to have a similar increase in my comprehension of the Realms. However, a qualitative change has yet to occur.’
His own understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Myriad Existences was many times deeper than when he killed Xiang Pang Yun.
But still, he could only claim to have attained the second level after a qualitative change occurred!
‘It’s fortunate that the Myriad Existences of Water excels in defense. Otherwise, that fourth match would have been too dangerous.’ Within Xue Ying’s mind, a glimmer of expectation appeared, ‘Very good. The greater the pressure, the stronger the effect it will have on improving my spear techniques.’
Within the half-year period after which he transcended, he had harvested many revelations in his spear techniques, and most of those required experimentation in battle!
Hu!
Xue Ying looked upwards – a figure descended from the skies, landing on top of a rock with a dull thud.
He was a human-like figure close to five meters tall with a dark red tone to his skin and fangs. He wielded a great shield in one hand and a frightening great axe in the other! His dark-yellow eyes were full of killing intent. Those native Transcendents who were thrown into battle utterly despised humans.
When mankind had caught them, they were initially forced into hard labor. After that, they were tossed into life and death battles against humans! Those who lost, would simply die. But if they were to win, they would regain their freedom! All of these native Transcendents had a deep longing for freedom, and they believed that since the Infernal Palace promised them this, the palace would not go back against their word.
Furthermore, how delightful it would be if they could kill a new Transcendent while regaining their freedom?
Killing a new Transcendent, with the Infernal Palace giving their word in not taking revenge, was the primary rule of the ‘Transcendent Battle of Life and Death’!
“It seem this native Transcendent loves battle.” Xue Ying was aware that the killing intent this native Transcendents was radiating was much stronger than such intent he had previously experienced during his third battle.
