“How could this be? Nightmare rank?”

“We’re doomed!”

“I was just recently chosen as a member of the Temporal Temple, and yet the very first mission I must undertake is of the nightmare rank? This, this… isn’t this playing with my life?” The rookie Sword Devil felt sullen. He hadn’t gotten any chance to display his combat power ever since the battle started, and now the difficulty of the mission had been bumped to nightmare rank.

The Temporal Temple would usually assign missions of hell rank at the most, as they had at least a small chance of being completed! As for nightmare rank missions… they would only appear because of some unforeseen circumstances!

“Nightmare rank… It’s actually a nightmare rank mission!” Seeing the distant handsome teenager being pierced through his forehead, the red-robed female felt a chill deep in her heart. Without any hesitation, she took out a red paper talisman which allowed spirit energy to pervade into the space time trace inside her arm. “Forfeit, I forfeit this mission! Immediately return! Immediately return!”

Weng!

A mysterious, vast undulation in spacetime descended and enveloped the red-robed female.

“Mn?”

The black-robed youngster who walked out from the mirage was none other than Xue Ying. He frowned at the red-robed female being enveloped by the spacetime undulation in front of him.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying, I’ll remember you! I hope we will meet again in the Deity World!” The red-robed female’s mouth moved, yet no sound could be transmitted outwards. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness. The price of that red paper talisman was truly terrifying. She had traded for it with a Deity treasure received from her teacher. This type of talisman allowed her to forfeit and leave any mission halfway through, as long as she had not yet entered the Demigod realm!

Thus, this paper represented another life.

She could still bear paying the price of giving up the mission..

But if she was to be killed… it would be too terrifying. Her soul would be pulled by the Temporal Temple into hell before forcing her to consecutively tackle three hell ranked missions!

She was the only one in the team to own a red paper talisman of that kind! In fact, it was rarely seen even among the Saint ranked Reincarnators.

…

“So interesting.” Xue Ying walked out of the mirage into the real world to look at what was happening.

Time and space were vibrating continuously. If it willed so, this power could definitely destroy the entire world of the Xia Clan!

Too large, too powerful.

According to the records, the Temporal Temple was backed by a truly terrifying existence who, along with several others, stood at the pinnacle of the millions and millions of worlds, the Deity World and the Dark Abyss! For the sake of operating the Temporal Temple, he had paid a huge price to cultivate an unimaginably terrifying Deity treasure. This treasure had its own spirit that would follow the orders set by its owner when it was created. For instance, it could select several existences from the countless worlds to become Reincarnators, give them missions, train them while filtering out the strong, and give them huge amounts of resources… it would continuously groom experts for the Temporal Temple.

“I heard long ago that the members of Temporal Temple could walk among countless worlds. However, this is the first time I hear of the Temporal Temple using its power to bring them back.” Xue Ying smiled at the scene.

Hua.

The red-robed female in front of him had been swept away, piercing through and leaving the mortal world.

Xue Ying did not even attempt to attack. The difference was too great. Maybe there were some great existences in the Deity World who could go against this terrifying Deity Treasure, but for a Transcendent like him to do so? Impossible!

Pu!

Xue Ying continued walking and suddenly disappeared once again into the mirage.

While walking within the mirage, he would casually tap with his finger.

A strand of fiery Transcendent Qi emerged, flying towards the rookie Sword Devil before emerging from the mirage into reality. The Qi strengthened by the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing appeared at the rookie Sword Devil’s side and then pierced through his head. As soon as his head was pierced, his body began suffering from the effects of True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, causing it to crumble apart.

However, the body then moved as fast as lightning as it started regaining its form.
