Chapter 368: Escape to the Deity World

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

The hearts of the Xia Clan Transcendents watching the battle from within the Star Pagoda clenched. Unable to hear the distant exchange between Elder You Ping and Xue Ying, the most they could see was Xue Ying being blasted into the desert. When he came out, he seemed to have been wounded.”

“He was able to wound Xue Ying?”

“Could it be that he will lose?”

Every single one of them was anxious, but they simply could not interfere in a battle of this level. Not even the the Sorcerer God or Great Demonic God could, in spite of their extremely high cultivation. Under the plane’s unseen suppression, the aid of someone with the mere strength of a Demigod would be limited.

“Having managed to block one of my strikes, you now qualify to be my opponent.” Under the silver mask, Elder You Ping’s eyes shone with madness. He had already decided that this Xue Ying before him was a genuinely great enemy. “Receive my move.”

Shua.

Elder You Ping immediately disappeared without a trace. His body escaped through a ripple and almost instantly reappeared in front of Xue Ying. An expanse of white then spread between the heavens and earth, followed by an incomparably berserk attack manifested through a sword light.

“Die.” Even then, Xue Ying did not block and instead instantly thrust his spear toward his opponent. Inside that vast expanse of whiteness, a scene of stars appeared, expanding and meteorically collapsing.

Xue Ying had dared to directly block the knife using his body alone, but Elder You Ping wouldn’t be so brazen as to take the incoming spear!

After all, Xue Ying’s Great Chaotic True Force made it so that each and every one of his moves had the power of a late stage Deity. Together with the aid provided by the Star Pagoda’s self-created world, as well as his secret skill, Star Meteor Annihilation, the spear in fact nearly reached the power of a peak stage Deity. The Laws and Profound Mysteries contained by the attack were also frightening.

Elder You Ping clearly understood…that he would certainly die if he were to block this sort of attack directly with his body! After all, the World Deity grade secret technique that he cultivated was focused on offense and lacked severely in defense.

Dang. Elder You Ping’s dagger suddenly changed moves to intercept Xue Ying’s spear.

Upon the collision of these weapons, shockwaves spread in every and all directions. Nothing within a range of a kilometer remained standing, and even a few earth and rocks in the underground were crushed into particles to then turn into nothingness.

Dang Dang Dang!

The weapons unceasingly collided.

Both sides were fighting to the best of their ability.

Elder You Ping displayed his knife technique to its fullest. He might have not held any significant advantage over Xue Ying in most aspects, but when it came to speed, he had an overwhelming edge. Be it his secret skill or his secret technique, they all exceeded in the aspect of speed. This allowed him to very quickly switch between moves—strike after strike, continuous and without pause. While Xue Ying’s spear technique was also quite fast, it was clearly suppressed.

The only thing he could do was trade strikes again and again, even giving up on protecting his body to force his opponent on the defense.

Even then, after both sides exchanged tens of moves, a strike would occasionally land on their bodies.

Hong long long~

Over the course of the battle between both sides, Xue Ying would be hit with a cut every now and then, and every time he would be sent into an explosive retreat to withdraw underground. Elder You Ping would then continue chasing Xue Ying with his astonishing speed at a rate faster than Xue Ying’s own retreat. This made it so that he could never quite catch a break from this Elder You Ping.

Stepping out from underneath the ground, they were once again above the surface.

From a glance, one could only see an explosive wave streak across the vast sky, drilling underground only to return back to the surface. That wave contained precisely Elder You Ping and Xue Ying as they fought.

The Xia Clan Transcendents all watched in rapt attention, yet they simply could not see the situation with any degree of clarity.

With their exceedingly high cultivation bases, the Sorcerer God and Great Demonic God were both well aware of the state of the battle as they watched from a distance. Even Elder You Ping’s unpredictable evasion technique, which allowed him to disappear then once again appear, wasn’t much of a secret in their eyes. After all, to have been able to become a stage one World Deity meant that the Sorcerer God had condensed a grade one Deity Heart. Meanwhile, the Great Demonic God had an even higher cultivation than him.

If his original body had been able to descend, he could have extinguished Xue Ying’s life with a wave of his hand.

Alas, these were the laws! This was the material world, and the laws served to protect the mortals. The Deity World and the Dark Abyss were vast enough worlds for those powerful existences.

“What do you think?” the Sorcerer God inquired. “Can You Ping win?”

“He has the upper hand! At the moment, Xue Ying must rely on his body and forego any real defense to force any attacks.” The Great Demonic God continued, “My assumption is that Xue Ying is piling up another injury every time he gets attacked. Once the number of wounds accumulates too high, with the accumulated small injuries becoming a large injury, those wounds might even end his life. This battle might have to continue for a day or two before Xue Ying dies.”

The Sorcerer God softly nodded.

When two powerful Deities from the Deity world fought, they could hope to kill the other party only after fighting without break for several days. Such things happened very often. Those who had more formidable survival skills would be even harder to kill. This was so true, in fact, that there had once been a few formidable World Deities besieged by an enormous legion of Deities who had to stubbornly attack them for more than a year before managing to kill them.

Before long, the fighting had already lasted for over an hour.
