Chapter 658: Waking up the Ancient Demon

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

Within the sealed world.

Protector Huo Zhu was standing in mid-air, his entire body surrounding by faint fire snakes when he announced: “Your demands are too excessive. There is no way I can agree to then…” At the same time, Xue Ying was pretending to negotiate with him to stall for more time…

This was when, all of a sudden, Protector Huo Zhu’s expression changed.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying, you’ve been lying to me!” Protector Huo Zhu roared out in anger, his voice so powerful that even the surrounding void began to tremble and form cracks.

“Haha, were you not also pretending, then?” Xue Ying’s voice reverberated within this sealed world.

In the Mirage World, Xue Ying sneered as he looked at these events unfolding. A World Deity javelin appeared in his hand—he had brought along a significant amount of this sort of weapon.

‘This protector from the Ancestor Mother Religion is much stronger than me, but I have something to help me.’ Xue Ying suddenly stretched his right arm to hurl out the World Deity javelin with all his strength. The weapon flew through the Mirage world with ‘hu’, and then directly tore through the void to arrive at the sleeping Ancient Demon who was tens of billions of kilometers away.

After all, the sealing effect only worked on the ordinary world, so Xue Ying’s Mirage was entirely unhindered by it.

The gray javelin tore through the void to arrive at the Ancient Demon, where it went back into the ordinary world from the Mirage world.

“Hong!”

The sharp head of the javelin landed straight by the arse of the Ancient Demon; who asked that specific body part of his to be sticking out and be the closest to Xue Ying?

When compared to a protector of the Ancestor Mother Religion, Xue Ying’s strength might not be any big deal, but amongst cultivators of his cosmos, he was essentially at the same level as apex Paragons.

The arse of the Ancient Demon trembled lightly, followed by the World Deity weapon shattering in its entirety, and the humanoid, dog-headed Ancient Demon slowly opening its eyes. It had a pair of yellow eyes filled with intense coldness and killing intent. It immediately turned to face the distant sealed world.

Before long, its vision locked down on Xue Ying’s figure who was still hiding in the Mirage World, its gaze so fierce that Xue Ying started to cower. A coldness invaded his heart, and an invisible force began to press down on him.

‘It knows I’m the one who acted?’ Xue Ying was much shocked.

“Hong.”

The distant Ancient Demon, with its few hundreds of billions of kilometers large body, swung its right claw.

“Si la~”

It immediately tore through the sealed world, despite it being a few tens of billion kilometers long, and arrived immediately at the region where Xue Ying stood.

Describing this action might take some time, but everything had actually happened within moments.

The distant Ancient Demon swung its claw at a speed that was essentially instantaneous—it had clearly started out tens of billions of kilometers away, but it seemed to have arrived in front of Xue Ying within the blink of an eye. On top of that, Xue Ying was hiding in the Mirage world, yet he was still feeling an unseen force boring into the Mirage and lashing out against his black armor.

“Hong hong hong~” It was only now that Xue Ying finally managed to react. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying back into the distance. At the same time he was falling, Xue Ying discovered that the claw had not actually entered the Mirage World.

In reality, the unseen strength of the claw had tunneled into the Mirage world where it bombarded his body. As he was suffering from this attack, Xue Ying’s true deity heart momentarily ‘stopped’ working. In other words, his actions became minutely slower, and it was only after receiving the attack that he regained his natural processing speed. By then, however, he was already flying backward.

“Run, run, run.”

“Sou sou.”

Xue Ying immediately teleported away.

He teleported directly over to a location situated a few hundred billion kilometers away, where he let out a sigh of relief. Looking back at the distant Ancient Demon, he realized that it would not continue chasing after him, despite staring in his general direction. Instead, the demon turned towards Protector Huo Zhu, whose fire snakes were surrounding his body and who was still in a muddle-headed state.

‘The intelligence provided by Teacher seems to be true. Once an Ancient Demon awakens, it won’t distinguish between friend and foe, attacking any and all lifeforms around. However, that only applies to someone within a region of fifty billion kilometers around it. Now that I left that region, it will no longer chase after me,’ Xue Ying thought. If the Ancient Demon were to continue chasing after anyone in a frenzy, the Ancestor Mother Religion would not have dared send so many protectors over.

‘Ancestor Mother Religion, this is my final gift to you.’ Xue Ying lowered his head. There were faint cracks all over his Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body armor. ‘Such power… The demon can’t even enter the Mirage world, yet the force it managed to transmit inside was sufficient to leave me grievously injured.’

‘Had I been inside the ordinary world instead of the Mirage… I would most likely have been directly extinguished…’ Xue Ying muttered inwardly. ‘Such is a Ruler-realm existence.’

The Ancient Demon had the combat power of a ruler indeed, but because it was a refined lifeform, it was still slightly lacking compared to real rulers. It was likely comparable to a tender, newly emerged ruler, so his combat power was likely closer to that of Monarch Green!
