Chapter 499 (2/2)

You think you’ve cleaned up all traces? Xue Ying had already made a certain decision in his heart.

While Xue Ying and the others swept through the Nest of Myriad Devils, news had already begun spreading like wildfire across the entire Calm Sea Prefecture!

From one point of view, the Calm Sea Prefecture was big, incredibly so. Travelers would have to spend quite a lot of time passing through it, even when using space teleportation arrays.

But from a different point of view, it could also be considered small, very small at that. By means of communication treasures, news could quickly and easily spread across the entire region! There were only so few experts in the highest echelon of the Calm Sea Prefecture, and they had long since set their eyes on this matter regarding Xue Ying and Venomous Ying. Naturally, it did not take long for the news to be known throughout the prefecture.

“This Dong Bo brat is indeed formidable.”

The Calm Sea Prefecture Master, an amiable, ever-smiling old man was in the middle of watering plants when he was reported this article of news by his attendant. As he heard it, he could not help but offer some praise.

A young man with delicate features by his side added, “That’s right, that’s right. He’s very formidable. Despite having cultivated only for so long, he could so easily devastate both the Venomous Ying World Deity and Dong Xiao. Such combat power would undoubtedly place him at the very top amongst stage three World Deities! He would most likely be close to General Wu in terms of strength. Furthermore, I’ve heard that he even killed Venomous Ying’s avatar!”

“Chun Hua, you brat, where did you even hear these news?” The Calm Sea Prefecture Master smiled as he shot a glance toward this young attendant of his.

“Hehehe, it came straight from the Heavenly Cloud Mountain. I would not dare say I’m certain, but I’m still about 80-90% sure,” the attendant replied. “From what I’ve heard, Venomous Ying sent her avatar over to the Heavenly Cloud Mountain as soon as Dong Bo Xue Ying took over the position of supervisor envoy. She went over to find Monarch Wu Chen.”

“Brother Wu Chen is mad about cultivation,” the Calm Sea Prefecture Master said. “He’s investigated many daos and plans to walk one of them in order to become a powerful existence. He is known to collect various treasures from all over the Deity world and the Dark Abyss. Venomous Ying likely had some sort of treasure she handed over to Brother Wu Chen, and it proved to be something he wanted. That’s likely why Brother Wu Chen decided to protect her.”

“It wasn’t wise of Monarch Wu Chen to have taken this decision.” The young attendant shook his head.

“Don’t you be disrespectful to your seniors!” the Calm Sea Prefecture Master shouted. “What do you, a brat, even know about this matter? Finding oneself blocked by that final obstacle, despite one’s only dream and desire being to break through and become a powerful existence, to truly transcend beyond eternity… For the sake of taking this step, what would such a person not dare to do?”

The Calm Sea Prefecture Master’s eyes vaguely shone with a strand of sharp light.

He was an old man even amongst stage four World Deities, so he clearly understood the thought process behind Wu Chen’s decision.

If he saw hope of transcending to reach eternity, even he, the Calm Sea Prefecture Master would disregard all in his path! He would not even hesitate to kill Xue Ying if that was what it took! Upon killing him, he would have to immediately betray the Bloodshed God Palace and rely on another superpower like the Temporal Island! For ancient cultivators like him, personal combat power was paramount. Any other form of authority was vain.

“Hehehe.” The young attendant immediately diverted the conversation away from this topic with a smile. “Prefecture master, how can Dong Bo Xue Ying be so formidable and strong in spite of him only being a stage two World Deity? Is it because he got to learn an absolute art?”

“Mn.” The Calm Sea Prefecture Master nodded. “As His Majesty’s personal disciple, he should have already learned an absolute art.”

“An absolute art!” The attendant’s eyes brightened up. “If I could learn one, hehehe, I might be able to match the might of stage four World Deities.” He was a stage three World Deity.

The Calm Sea Prefecture Master shook his head and chuckled. “His realm was clearly a whole level lower, yet he could display such tyrannical strength. Everything has an equilibrium. Since absolute arts are so incredibly strong, learning them is sure to be extremely difficult. Just what kind of comprehension ability do you think Dong Bo Xue Ying has? If that same art was given to some ordinary stage two World Deity instead, they would have surely been so much slower than him. Furthermore, look at that Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master; he is known as one of the three ancestors, but he’s actually nothing more than a unique stage four World Deity. With his realm, it would have only made sense to see him become a powerful existence long ago, but, unfortunately, he was instead influenced by some absolute art.”

“Oh.” The young attendant nodded.

“All things considered, this Dong Bo brat is still amazing. At the rate he cultivates, he’ll likely become a stage three World Deity within a hundred thousand years. By then, his combat power will become even more amazing.” The Calm Sea Prefecture Master laughed.

It was not just this strongest expert in the Calm Sea Prefecture, the Calm Sea Prefecture Master, that was astonished. All of the stage three World Deities, like the famous General Wu and other high ranked people like King Cong Shi and the White Sand City Lord, couldn’t quite believe what they had heard. The White Sand City Lord had even let out a sigh upon receiving the news. The combat power of this brother of mine is improving at breakneck speeds. Even I, his elder brother, cannot be truly certain I can win over him. Mn. I have to go over and have a match with him. The White Sand City Lord left his city as soon as the news got to him and headed straight toward Eastern Region City.
