Chapter 119 (1/2)

Other than those Demigods with incredible power, Transcendents who had cultivated for a certain period of time could figure out what was happening, “This Dong Bo Xue Ying is almost out of techniques! He will most likely have to use his primordial bloodline.”

During this half-year period before the battle, Xue Ying had gone to taverns and restaurants, befriending some of the Transcendents. These Transcendents had then sensed the additional power emitting from his fleshy body, thus allowing them to conclude that Xue Ying would most likely have already awakened his primordial bloodline! During the battle, as the audience discussed the contest among themselves… they would naturally talk about his primordial bloodline. Just by this word of mouth, the news spread out to most of the Transcendents present.

…

Indeed, everything had gone according to what they hypothesized.

This native Transcendent’s combat power was so formidable that he could entirely suppress Xue Ying. If Xue Ying does not activate his primordial bloodline, then he would certainly lose after some inestimable period of time!

Hu.

Hua.

The spear whipped about in the air.

At times, it was unpredictable and strange, as if it were a huge python trying to attack. At other times, it would roll in a forceful manner, before hacking downwards. There were even times when the spear was swept out in an overbearing manner, wanting to sweep across a thousand soldiers, and times when the spear shaft was being used to smack outwards…

Xue Ying had long become one with the entire spear as he displayed the spear technique to his heart’s content.

‘Exciting, so exciting.’

This acute feeling of contentment brought euphoria.

Xue Ying was battling with vigour from the bottom of his soul. Ever since his youth, he had madly trained his spear techniques. Other than the desire to save his parents, he had developed a passion for the spear! Only when he was enjoying the battle from the depths of his heart… could he ever reach the rare situation during a life and death battle of achieving something amazing! To him, chasing after the pinnacle of spear techniques was the ambition he had set deep within his spirit.

Even after becoming a Spear Grandmaster, he could still not see the end of spear techniques!

Ever since achieving mastery, he had comprehended more of the natural world, absorbing the Profound Mysteries behind it, before bringing them to perfection with his own spear techniques. He understood the Fire of Myriad Existences first, and then the Water of Myriad Existences! All these understandings allowed his spear techniques to reach a state closer to perfection.

Right now, he was under the pressure of a life and death battle!

This pressure allowed him to display his spear techniques to the fullest extent. Along the way of joyfully displaying his skills, he would utilise this chance to understand and refine his spear techniques. The battle provided a chance for him to see the power of every move and style he had! Only during an actual battle could he better understand and experiment with his own spear techniques. The fifth battle’s opponent was someone who used an upright suppression on him. As for the sixth battle, it was an opponent who specialised in close combat! Different battle styles allowed him to test his own spear techniques from different directions.

‘My spear techniques are still lacking, especially in close combat. The spear must become even softer!’

‘The power is lacking as well, especially during explosive attacks!’

The way Xue Ying cultivated was different from many others.

The others would feel and sense the wind, or the water…

But for Xue Ying, it was practising his spear as he chased after the perfection in its techniques! The Profound Mysteries behind the World were like elements to him. He would merge these elements into his spear techniques, just like how he felt when his spear techniques were too hard and rigid, too fierce and lacking tenacity and coherence. This eventually led him to comprehend the Water of Myriad Existences, to the extent of integrating those two Profound Mysteries as one. All of these were side rewards he gained during the process of chasing towards the ‘Perfection of Spear Techniques’.

…

As the battle went on, Xue Ying began to reflect more and more s regarding his own spear techniques. He temporarily placed these thoughts in his heart until the moment when he was free and at peace. Only then would he bring them out to understand those reflections further.

‘No wonder so many people love to refine themselves during life and death battles. Indeed, this battle has greatly aided the development of my spear techniques.’ Xue Ying felt the aura in his mind start to flicker relentlessly. He realised that his own spear techniques had many areas for improvement, and these areas would provide him guidance on where to direct his cultivation, ‘This single life and death battle brought to me a reward greater than a hundred days of cultivation.’

Hong hong hong~

Becoming one with the spear, even though Xue Ying was entirely on the back foot, he was still filled with tenacity as he proceeded on with firmness and flexibility. He continued holding on under the suppression of that green-haired male for the time taken to brew a cup of tea.

Pu. The green-haired male forced Xue Ying’s spear shaft up against his chest. Xue Ying continuously retreated backwards. At the same time, he vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Under this period taken to brew a cup of tea, the green-haired male suppressed Xue Ying the whole time to the extent that he incurred heavy bodily injuries. At the same time, Xue Ying had used up much of his Transcendent Qi.

‘I might not be able to hold on any longer.’ Xue Ying understood clearly about his situation.

Die.

That Transcendent green-haired native was exasperated. He had not expected that even under his absolute suppression, his opponent could still hold his ground for the time taken to brew a cup of tea. This made his attacks fiercer and fiercer as he tried getting closer to his opponent, madly attacking his way forward! Furthermore, under the terrifying chill in the environment, Xue Ying’s speed slowed along with his flexibility. He had no chance of escaping.

“Die!” His palm unexpectedly penetrated through Xue Ying’s spear defence as it headed towards the Xue Ying with the aim of penetrating through his chest.

“Mn?” The Demigod of Infernal Palace in charge of overlooking the battle had a change in his expression. He was prepared to intervene at any time.
