Chapter 403: Understood?
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
“The Beast Clan and our Xia Clan have been fighting ever since our world came into being,” Jing Qiu said. “They’ve always been at a disadvantage, yet they could still endure up until now. Now that you’ve become Realm Lord, the curtain is about to fall on this war between our two great clans.”
“As it should; it’s about time to enter a new era.” Xue Ying smiled. With a thought from his part, his consciousness entered the Oceanic Forest World.
As a Realm Lord, his consciousness could envelop every last corner of the entire mortal world. Of course, as an Eden Treasure, Crimson Rock Mountain would normally be isolated from that examination; with Xue Ying now also having refined it, all within the Xia Clan world truly lay under his control.
For the sake of concealing my grade one True Meaning, I’ve let you live until now. Xue Ying’s consciousness now covered the fort.
All of the Beast Clan Transcendents had gathered inside one of the semicircle-shaped fort’s palace halls. Among them, Elder Ao Lan stood there face to face with the palace wall, softly stroking a huge beast-head engraving on it. There were traces of tears in his eyes.
“Great Elder, this fort no longer has control over the Oceanic Forest World,” reported a short and fat elder. “Xue Ying has already wrested control away from us.”
“He is now a Realm Lord. Of course he’d be able to control everything,” said a tall but thin man in a cold and detached manner. He was wearing cyan-colored leather armor.
“How could he be this fast…”
“Wasn’t refining the Realm Heart supposed to be very difficult? It’s only been six hundred years since the war, yet he’s already refined it?”
“It’s over. It’s all over.”
A large portion of the Beast Clan Transcendents already gave up on all hope. They might have been at a loss before, but they could still hold on to a glimmer of hope… After all, the Sorcerer God was quite sure that Xue Ying would refine the Realm Heart, but maybe, just maybe, ten thousand years would pass, and Xue Ying would fail to refine the Realm Hart. If that were to happen, Xue Ying would then be expelled from the Xia Clan World, and their Beast Clan could still rise back up.
Therefore over those past years, that faint glimmer of hope left them all waiting expectantly.
Even then, the day had finally arrived for real! Xue Ying had refined the Realm Heart—such news had already spread everywhere!
Hong~ Suddenly, the entire palace hall began to tremble.”
“What is it? This… what is going on?”
All of the Transcendents entered a state of alarm.
Through the palace door leading outside, one could see that a huge hole had appeared in the fort, while the rest of it immediately began shattering. Looking further through that hole, one could see a huge face having appeared in the sky outside—it was Xue Ying’s face. His visage looked downward from that vantage point and stared straight into the palace hall through the hole.
Kakaka. Before the realm energy, the sturdy fort seemed feeble and was easily torn to pieces. Even this had only happened because Xue Ying thought he could leave it for the Xia Clan to study; otherwise, he could have easily crushed it like rotten wood.
Very soon, it was torn apart in its entirety.
“Let’s go outside.” The previously silent Elder Ao Lan pointed outside with his white bone scepter and then turned around to leave the hall. The others followed behind him, one after another.
Once outside, they all looked up toward the gigantic face in mid-air that was able to engulf the earth and sky.
That familiar face belonged to the largest calamity the Beast Clan would ever face—Dong Bo Xue Ying! He had already reached a stage high enough to leave the Beast Clan trembling from a single look upon him. Not even the Sorcerer God or Great Demonic God had any way to deal with him. Perhaps only those lofty powerful existences from the Deity world would be able to wrest control of a mortal world away from a Realm Lord.
“Dong Bo Xue Ying.” Elder Ao Lan spoke first.
“Ao Lan.” Xue Ying’s huge face towering above also opened its mouth to speak.
“Have you come to kill us?” Elder Ao Lan asked.
“Elder Ao Lan, a while ago, you’ve taken away my deity warrior, the gold man. I could never forget that,” Xue Ying replied. “I’m afraid it’s time for your Beast Clan to repay that debt.”
“Indeed, it’s time to settle it.” Elder Ao Lan nodded. He knew that Xue Ying had come to demand repayment, but it was not merely for the gold man or that assassination attempt from back then. He was referring to the blood debt created through countless years of conflict between the Beast Clan and the Xia Clan!
“The people of your Xia Clan that my Beast Clan has killed are truly beyond countability, but likely just as many members of my Beast Clan have been similarly slaughtered by you guys.” Elder Ao Lan raised his head to stare straight at Xue Ying’s visage. “The only pity I have is that our Beast Clan was not the one to give birth to a peerless talent like you. That is why we lost, and we can only say that your Xia Clan’s luck was better.”
