The prisoner was still under suffering from a joint attack from ten Xue Yings, all while also being bound and restricted by the black shackles. He was a Great Demonic God, yet he could use neither his domain nor his World Deity energy reserves. He did not even have a weapon! He was limited to moving within an area of a dozen meters under the entrapment of the two shackles, which left him feeling truly stifled. At the same time, he was accruing heavier and heavier injuries; many of his scales were already crushed, and there were cavities all over his body. Healing them would require lifeforce he wasn’t in any position to use.
“How long has it even been? A thousand years or so? You… you could actually comprehend such a destructive secret skill?” The Great Demonic God was well aware that his defeat was nigh, followed by his inevitable death, yet he still found it hard to believe.
Xue Ying did not relent at all, continuing on with his berserk assault.
A thousand years? It was actually a hundred thousand years spent in the time-accelerated environment.
After comprehending the fundamental Deity imprint of the Shackle Technique, it had only taken him three thousand years to perfect the domain-related secret skill, World Prison! Against a stage two World Deity, this domain secret skill was very threatening, but when facing the stage three Great Demonic God, it was nothing more than a nuisance.
Meanwhile, it had taken him well over six thousand years to comprehend the fundamental Deity imprint of the Herculean Technique. Using it, Xue Ying created a personal technique which specialized in strength, which he termed Heaven and Earth Crush! This move sought the limits of strength.
Even then, however, Xue Ying was still not confident in his chances.
He had also spent some time to comprehended the World, pondering over the Extremity Deity Heart.
World, Chaotic, Extremity…
These three aspects formed a scene of a world’s destruction; a vast world would start crumbling and, upon its destruction, would form a chaos hole, which would, in turn, eventually collapse into a final point of extremity! This point of extremity was the endpoint of Myriad Existences, but the same singularity was the source of everything! Eventually, it would form a new world.
Xue Ying had yet to comprehend the Extremity Deity Heart, but this scene still gave him an ambition!
What if I fuse the entire destruction of a world into a single move? Xue Ying thought.
In most cases, World Deities would use the World Deity Heart as their primary deity heart. Xue Ying had similarly used the World Deity Heart to first form his True Deity Heart, before fusing in the Chaotic Deity Heart. The plan was eventually also fuse in the Extremity Deity Heart, followed by the Time-Space Deity Heart! However, since he used the World Deity Heart as a base, the Laws of Profound Mysteries he comprehended would always have some focus on the world, and the secret skills he created would also tend to use this aspect as a foundation for the other Deity hearts to then fuse into and improve upon.
In this manner, it was much easier to create new secret skills!
However, powerful existences had complete control over the Laws of the World! Their secret skill killing moves could encompass all laws in a single move; that was what truly made them so terrifyingly powerful. It was only by encompassing as many of the Laws of the World as possible in an efficient manner that a move would become its strongest self!
Stage four World Deities also tended to begin comprehending additional Laws and sense out even more Deity Hearts. Even though most of them would remain stuck at the final stage, never to become powerful existences, they usually would be able to create their own terrifying killing moves which encompassed as many of the Laws of the World as possible! In fact, some were even so powerful—due to their moves being able to coordinate well with the Laws of the World—that they would surpass even ordinary powerful existences.
Even when using the same ingredients, food would still have different standards when cooked by different people.
For the most part, powerful existences could succeed in creating killing moves that were stronger than those of stage four World Deities. At the same time, there were also some truly strong experts amongst four World Deities!
However, while it could be said that most stage four World Deities were able to create such a killing move, there were only very few who could succeed amongst stage three World Deities. If they succeeded in creating such a killing move, they were sure to to stand at the very apex.
The White Sand City Lord, for instance, didn’t possess a truly strong secret skill made for combat. In fact, his only absolute move was the Annihilation White Sand, and this was a move which depended solely on the secret technique he obtained from the Sealed World Pagoda that he then perfected over a period of time.
Xue Ying, however, was different—he was filled with determination.
His goal was to bring one of the great Laws of the World, the aspect of destruction, and fuse it into a single move. The way he saw it, the three Deity Hearts of World, Chaos, and Extremity coincided with different stages of the law of destruction. Unfortunately, he had yet to comprehend the Extremity Deity Heart, which was why this move of his had not reached its true potential. Even so, Xue Ying still had to spend a great amount of effort to come up with this single move.
He had only spent five thousand years cultivating before he became a stage two World Deity, while it took him a total of ninety thousand years to finally perfect this move, albeit in a time-accelerated environment!
