Chapter 202 (1/2)

In a certain area hidden deep underground, there was an exotic looking battleship. Inside the battleship, within the main hall, General Yan Ze was holding onto his head in pain.
Damn. General Yan Ze felt the pain of his soul being torn apart as his Demonic Avatar got destroyed. That strand of soul had similarly been extinguished as a result. This led to a damage of his soul at a fundamental level. Currently, his expression was unbelievably malevolent. Just that bit more, just that bit! The person I found this time was Dong Bo Xue Ying! But I would not have thought that the Xia Clan would actually dispatch a Deity warrior to protect him!
Because of the strict limitations imposed by the Laws of the World, the ancestors of the Xia Clan could only send down a Deity warrior with the combat power of a peak Demigod, and not that of the Deity realm.
Even so, they were still Deity warriors! All of them were made of extraordinary materials. Much less to say Demigods, even if a true Deity attacked the Deity warrior, destroying it would be an arduous task. This time, the Deity warrior dispatched by the Xia Clan to protect Xue Ying was one with an exceptional ability to defend. If it was to focus entirely on defending, no Demon General would be able to kill Xue Ying.
Unless several other Demon Generals team up with me, there isn’t much hope of killing him. General Yan Ze’s figure was currently trembling. The pain caused by the destruction of a part of his soul was extreme. However, since the Xia Clan has already given him a Deity warrior, I doubt that the Xia Clan will give him other protective treasures, right? If that’s the case, all I need is a breath’s worth of time.
The more he pondered over it, the more General Yan Ze feel that killing Xue Ying was extremely difficult.
The Xia Clan had really not spared anything in protecting Xue Ying. As such, they would have a really hard time to assassinate him!
If there was no Deity warrior, I believe that this time, I would have just killed him off. General Yan Ze did not hold Xue Ying in his eyes. Maybe in the future, Xue Ying might become really powerful, but right now? General Yan Ze felt that one move would be enough to kill him!
Whatever. I’ll forget about it.
Since the Xia Clan regards him so highly, I will not have any chance of getting rid of him. If that’s the case, I’ll just forgo this. Even if he becomes stronger… he will still require about 200 to 300 years in order to become a top ten Demigod ranker. Becoming the first or second Demigod ranker would then require about 500 years. But who knows, he might get stuck in certain pathways for a longer period of time, General Yan Ze thought to himself.
With combat prowess on the level of Chao Qing or Chi Qiu Bai, even if Xue Ying was added to the equation, there wouldn’t be any complications.
Naturally, when the lice became quite numerous, one would not be afraid of the itch anymore! The peak combat strength of the Xia Clan had all along been so high that it held advantage over all else! Every single Deity warrior was terrifying in its own aspect. One more or one less Demigod in the top ten ranking would not change the final conclusion of the war that much! Unless, however, another Demigod with the power of ‘Mountain Lord He’ appeared, which would have a huge impact.
But that’ll happen hundreds of years later. Borrowing the souls of these humans, I’ll try to improve my combat power as fast as possible. The moment I condense my Demonic Heart… hmph, hmph. General Yan Ze was looking forward to that fateful day.
…
Xue Ying was instead continuing with his search for traces of demons. Nine months later, he finally returned to the Snowrock Castle.
He had been cultivating and refining his spear techniques, trying to figure out the True Meaning of Mirage. An estimated half a year would be needed before he would succeed in grasping hold of the complete version.
Dragon Mountain Calendar, Year 9680, December.
“The matters of the world do not always follow the desires of one’s heart completely.” Xue Ying and Jing Qiu were sitting on top of the peak of Snowrock Castle side by side as a couple. They were looking down at part of the silvery world—the undulating curves of the terrain, the tall and magnificent mountains and the many villages sprinkled with light.
“Jing Qiu, I’ll be leaving the province soon,” Xue Ying said.
“Going away?” Jing Qiu was startled. “Is it very important?”
“When I get back, you will understand.” Xue Ying smiled. “Right now, it must be kept a secret.”
Jing Qiu did not continue her inquiry. She held onto Xue Ying’s hand and murmured, “You must be careful.”
“Mn.” Xue Ying nodded.
At the same time, Xue Ying sent a message to Palace Head Chen—”Palace Head Chen, I’m ready to leave!”
“Haha, I’d been waiting for this piece of news from you. Good. I’ve already arranged the meeting point for you all. Faction Head Si Kong Yang, Mountain Lord He and Eternal Wind will rush over. You should wait for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before setting off,” Palace Head Chen immediately replied. At the same time, he sent over a map with the accurate location plotted.
The moment he saw it, Xue Ying understood. It was the peak of an unnamed mountain about 900 kilometers away from the Eternal Wind Academy.
After the time taken to brew a cup of tea.
Xue Ying bade farewell to Jing Qiu.
Shua.
He first teleported himself to a valley 50 kilometers away, before waving his hand and displaying the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, forcibly tearing through a passageway through the space! With the might of the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, he could tear a complete passageway for him to move through space, something that even Demigods weaker than him could accomplish.
The reason why he did not display such an ability before Jing Qiu was because he did not want it to be revealed. Even though he had absolute trust in her, this matter would implicate the entire Xia Clan! Thus, every single step he took had to be taken with extreme caution. Furthermore, there were many eyes all around the Snowrock Castle. Tearing through the space would create a disturbance in the surroundings.
Hu. Xue Ying immediately flew through the space crack.
This was a grotesque and variegated pathway.
Xue Ying followed through the space path with his utmost ability, flying through it while the Transcendent Qi protected his body by imbuing it with the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing and using the True Meaning to tear through the obstacles of space.
Following down the road all the way.
After a breath of time, si la— The Transcendent Qi imbued with the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing immediately tore through the space membrane, allowing him to enter the mortal world once again.
