Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
Only a sparse three hundred or so contestants were left in the palace hall at this point. When Xue Ying heard the shouting from outside, Xue Ying stood up and walked toward the palace’s entrance.
When he reached the entrance, the first thing he saw were the countless Deities looking at him.
“The time for me to finally reveal my abilities to the Deity World is coming!” Xue Ying walked toward the huge palace gates and then stepped onto the illuminated path.
“Dong Bo!”
“It’s Dong Bo!”
Countless spectators who’d come to watch the Starfield Selections turned their gazes toward him when he stepped out.
“Who is this ‘Dong Bo?’ It seems that he’s quite famous?”
“He’s the one who whipped the Soaring Cloud Lake’s young master with his own whip! What, you don’t even know who the Soaring Cloud Lake’s young master is? You should at least know the patrolling army, right? Well, a small team from the patrolling army surrounded Dong Bo, yet they were easily swept back by him!”
“Even if that small team from the patrolling army is collectively stronger than the Fierce Shaman Warrior, it doesn’t mean that they can triumph over it! Xue Ying’s ability to beat that small team doesn’t mean that he’ll win for sure.”
“This… mn, the Fierce Shaman Warrior is indeed quite formidable, but I still feel that Dong Bo will be able to win.”
Countless Deities were discussing Xue Ying’s chances and actions among themselves.
Xue Ying could be considered quite a famous Deity, and everyone felt that he had a high chance of getting through the Starfield Selections. Of course, the possibility that he’d fail couldn’t be discounted. After all, the Fierce Shaman Warrior was able to divide itself into twelve figures, all of whom were much stronger than a soldier from the patrolling army.
“Hmph, he thinks he can get through the Starfield Selections just like that?” The Soaring Cloud Lake’s young master, Jin Mei Yang, sneered. “The Fierce Shaman Warrior is a rare and precious warrior specifically manufactured by the Bloodshed God Palace to serve as an opponent in the Starfield Selections. It’s much stronger than that small team from the patrolling army! If he overestimates himself, he might just lose his life.”
“Right, right, young master! This Dong Bo is way too arrogant; he overestimates his own ability! The way I see it, he might lose his life this time.”
“In a battle of life and death, as long as he’s even slightly careless, there’s a possibility that he’ll lose his life.”
“He’ll definitely die.”
All of his subordinates began to respectively echo what he’d said, causing the Soaring Cloud Lake’s young master’s expression to turn even more savage. In his heart, he was looking forward to Xue Ying’s demise. So what if it’s Dong Bo? Just die, just die! The Fierce Shaman Warrior’s combat power is heaven-defying—you’ll definitely die! Definitely!
Dong Bo Xue Ying is a Deity from our Xie Clan! Yun Hai was truly excited compared to the majority of the surrounding Deities and was quite expectant. He’s the very first Deity of the Xia Clan to participate in the Starfield Selections!
There were quite a few who’d become Deities in the Xia Clan, but none of them had ever participated in the Starfield Selections; Xue Ying was the very first one!

As Xue Ying followed the illuminated path, he heard loud noises from all around him. Besides the Deities that were talking about him, he continued to feel more and more gazes land on him.
Just their gazes hold quite a bit of pressure. Xue Ying was inwardly startled by the pressure. If I hadn’t grasped hold of World Deity Heart, I most likely would’ve been affected by their gazes.
Ultimately, he’d only cultivated for around two thousand years.
This was just too short of a time frame, and he was far too young.
However, now that he’d grasped hold of the World Deity Heart, he’d become all-encompassing toward the World’s Myriad Existences; their gazes weren’t able to pressure him at all.
“Such a formidable heart.” The World Deities’ eyes lit up as they watched Xue Ying from the high platform.
The beautiful lady’s regard for him grew even more, and she praised, “Despite only cultivating for two thousand or so years, he’s already able to remain unmoved amidst the gaze of countless Deities. He’s truly a rare talent.”
“Only two hundred or so years?” Patrol Master Guan was astonished to hear this. “My realm is lower than yours, so I was only able to determine that he hadn’t cultivated for more than five thousand years… but who would’ve thought that it was within the range of two thousand years?”
“Age can represent potential, but it can’t represent combat power.” The Soaring Cloud Lake’s Master said with a smile, “That person known as Dong Bo…even though his heart is quite formidable, passing the Starfield Selections will still be quite difficult for him.”
“Jin Fei Yun!”
A white-robed tall and thin male sneered at him. “I’ve heard that your son was whipped quite a few times with a Heart-Branding Whip by this Dong Bo?”
“Haha, Jin Fei Yun, your son might’ve been whipped by him, but that doesn’t mean you can be so biased.”
“I think highly of this Dong Bo.”
Many of the World Deities present were felt truly happy to see how embarrassed the Soaring Cloud Lake’s Master was by this.
The green-bearded Jin Fei Yun just laughed when he heard their words. “Indeed, he flogged my son, but I should thank him for that! After all, this son of mine was truly too arrogant and rampant. As for his combat power? I don’t think I need to say much: It will be quite difficult for him to triumph over the Fierce Shaman Warrior. Of those participating in Mountain Wu’s Star Field selections, only His Highness Seventh Mei Yu is truly strong and has hopes of being dazzling in the future! This Dong Bo is much weaker than His Highness Seventh Mei Yu.”
“Mn.”
“His Highness Seventh Mei Yu is indeed formidable.”
