Chapter 503 (2/2)

Monarch Cang staked his life and paid an enormous price, even going as far as to send so many World Deities to die, just to get this! Bai Li Shang caressed the black sphere, as anxiety gathered in his eyes. But what secret do you have? What are you hiding? Is it an absolute art? Is it some fearsome, exotic treasure?”

Over thirty thousand years, Bai Li Shang had thought up all sorts of methods, and all kinds of refining techniques, sensing abilities, even anxiously experimenting with an increasingly large amount of brute force, yet nothing he did managed to disturb the sphere in any way.

He was unable to damage it, to disturb it, or to refine it in any way.

With the exception of using Deity energy to light up the incomparably profound three-dimensional patterns, nothing else seemed to work.

“I can tell that something isn’t quite right. Bai Li Shang felt himself grow increasingly anxious. But just what am I doing wrong. What secrets do you hide?”

The treasure was in his hands, yet he was unable to unravel the profound mysteries inside.

Bai Li Shang found himself in a hurry.

The supervisor residence only had a few areas in front reserved as abodes for Xue Ying’s personal guard. A much vaster area in the back was left for Xue Ying’s family to use as a cultivation ground.

Xue Ying was sitting cross-legged alone, within a sealed gloomy palace hall deep beneath the ground.

“Rumble!”

Countless scenes appeared all around him depicting the crumbling of the world, the collapse of chaos, and even a faint image of the appearance of an extreme point. These were joined by scenes of flowers and plants wilting, of flying insects and grounded beasts aging and turning into desiccated bones, as well as fires raging and turning entire forests into ash.

Countless scenes had appeared, surrounded by a destructive intent that rippled in a way that could strike fear in most people’s hearts.

World, Chaos, and Extremity were the three stages of the Large Destruction aspect pertaining to the laws of the world. Xue Ying unceasingly pursued them as the three strongest killing moves he had at the moment. As his destruction spear techniques were perfected, he could also increase his comprehension of the Extremity Deity Heart.

Extremity…

As a young Transcendent, Xue Ying began his comprehension with the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing. But now, he finished his comprehension of the World Deity Heart and the Chaos Deity Heart, while the Extremity Deity Heart still eluded him.

This was because Extreme Piercing and the Extremity Deity Heart were as far apart as the heaven and the earth, and they even followed completely different directions.

While Extreme Penetration walked a path of total extremity, the Extremity Deity Heart itself focused on absolute unification and balance; it was the beginning and end of everything. He had long since understood this point to be true, but of all the beginnings and endings in laws of the world, that incomparably profound one was very hard to truly grasp. Still, Xue Ying’s focus on his destruction spearmanship over many years, combined with a deep foundation in the direction of Extremity, he had long since touched that upon that separating layer.

He was separated by what seemed like nothing more than a layer of cloth, yet he still found himself unable to truly breach it. Just separated by a layer of cloth, yet why was he unable to grasp it?

“I can feel myself unceasingly approaching it.” Xue Ying smiled faintly, and the countless scenes of destruction surrounding him began to dissipate. There’s no hurry. Where water flows, a canal is formed.

Then, he got up.

Xue Ying left the underground palace hall, walking upwards along a flight of stairs before eventually arriving at an outer door. Opening it, Xue Ying walked right out. The palace hall which he just left was a secret area Xue Ying used for cultivation and practice. Without his permission, nobody was allowed to enter. Normally, he would only go as far as to bring his son, daughter, and wife inside, giving out pointers to help solve problems his children faced in their cultivation.

As soon as he walked out, an attendant respectfully called out to him, “Your Majesty, a guest has come over on a visit, and he has already been waiting for two days.”
