Chapter 384: Honorable Defeat

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

There was a world amongst the billion of material worlds where, instead of humans, beast lifeforms roamed.

Countless beasts reproduced and thrived here. On this world, there was a sacred ground, where the grandest, most magnificent existence worshipped by the countless beats resided. That eternal existence, who remained unparalleled, was none other than the Sorcerer God!

Countless beasts were multiplying and living here, and amongst them there was a sacred ground. It was rumored that the biggest magnificent existence whom the countless beasts believed in, was living there–that eternal existence and one that was unparalleled–the Sorcerer God!

Ai. Misty-eyed, the Sorcerer God stood at the mountain peak.

As the eternal existence worshipped by the beasts, his status was extremely high and, indeed, rather exaggerated! But as the territory Lord of a material world, he would be able to live for a long time, as long as he did not offend any powerful existences. Even the stage four World Deities, whose existences stood high above the others, could not kill him. Some material world territory Lords died due to the burden of a long life, caused by a festering self-doubt that sends the cultivator into a crazed state. Some died because their True Deity Heart crumbled to dust, while others had sealed their memories before starting a new life via reincarnation.

Naturally, the Sorcerer God was still quite young amongst the many World Deities, so he still had a long, undetermined future.

“I was actually defeated—and to such a state as well.” The Sorcerer God lightly sighed. “I have spent so much effort over the many years, but it all has come to naught! I was actually defeated by an apex Transcendent. It was an honorable defeat.”

Although he had previously been anxious and infuriated, after truly tasting defeat, the Sorcerer God accepted the outcome fairly quick.

The losses may have been large, but as a territory Lord, there would be opportunities to rise again.

“This Dong Bo Xue Ying is truly outstanding.” The Sorcerer God mumbled to himself, “Taking into account his lifespan up until the war began, and excluding the time acceleration within Crimson Rock Mountain, he has spent only two hundred years or so cultivating. Just a mere two hundred or so years…yet he has grasped hold of three different grade two Deity Hearts and even a full set of secret skills. Such an apex Transcendent is truly, incredibly rare.”

It was truly difficult to create a personal secret skill, but Xue Ying had three Deity Hearts as well as an entire set of secret skills despite having a very short cultivation period!

“Who would have thought…

“I had stalled any unforeseen circumstances that may have arose and had even defended against that stage three World Deity from the Temple of the Earth God…but in the end, I met an apex Transcendent in this little mortal world with a talent rarely seen even in the Deity world.” The Sorcerer God sighed. “His cultivation period is short. If we gave him a little more time, would he be able to grasp hold of a grade one True Meaning…?”

Truly too formidable!

Elder You Ping was the personal disciple of the Qi Lan Monarch, yet he had merely grasped hold of two grade two Deity Hearts and one self-created secret skill! Furthermore, he had cultivated for over two thousand years! Elder You Ping was already quite a dazzling existence and was also stronger than the Meishan Clan Master, Chen Jiu and the others.

But compared to Xue Ying?

In any and every aspect, he was entirely crushed by Xue Ying! This was a qualitative gap. Such an apex Transcendent, in the Sorcerer God’s opinion, would certainly have hopes of grasping a grade one True Meaning if someone were to spend a little more effort grooming him and if he was blessed with more miraculous encounters.

“Did he actually utilize part of the World Energy during the final attack of his, when he killed my avatar alongside the Great Demonic God’s?” The Sorcerer God nodded. “Right, he grasped hold of the Mirage Deity Heart, which is indeed able to reflect the entire Xia Clan world. Furthermore, the Mirage world and the real world are the same, only from different angles of perspective. With this foundation, he should most likely be able to refine the World Heart after a little improvement. With his talent, Dong Bo Xue Ying should be able to succeed within a hundred years. Even at his slowest, it will only take him a thousand years.”

The Sorcerer God shook his head.

A territory Lord of a material world was about to emerge!

One who had stepped on both him and the Great Demonic God.

“This Dong Bo Xue Ying is truly too formidable.” The Sorcerer God recalled how the events had developed before subconsciously shaking his head. “Those hundred years where he had been tortured by the hex poison had most likely trained his will. With the grooming provided by Crimson Rock Mountain…this led to an apex Transcendent truly shooting up to the sky.

“This truly was an honorable defeat.

“After all, who would have thought that we would meet such an apex Transcendent. This minute chance has actually been given to both me and the Great Demonic God.” The Sorcerer God shook his head.

At this moment, if the Sorcerer God was relatively calm, then far away in the Dark Abyss, the Great Demonic God, Da Er Hao, was truly furious!

“Damn, damn, ah ah ah, damn!” Accompanied his furious roar, an invisible black undulation spread outward. Several guards had already been turned into smithereens from a mere brush by this wave, and the subordinates further away from the epicenter had truly been frightened, to the point of trembling.

Within the palace hall.
