Chapter 736 - The Gift by Third Highness (1/2)

In a secret underground location, the Third Highness ‘Jiao Yun Liu’ was currently watching a black plant in front of him. This black plant had three dark-green fruits growing on it.

“Hurry up and ripen, I’ve been waiting for far too long.”

Jiao Yun Liu was quite handsome. A scarlet armor covered his entire body, and there was a crimson scale covering his forehead. His face was quite white and tender, and the aura he emitted was gentle and reserved.

At this moment, a burning desire was present, deep in his eyes, as he stared at the black plant.

“Your Highness, it’ll be a long time before the fruits ripen. Let the three of us watch over it, please rest assured.” A man with vertical eyes and black skin laughed. He was from a different race, and had originated from a different cosmos. However, he was a trusted aide of the Third Highness. There were two other experts by his side.

“Your Highness, Shan Dan mentioned that he is reaching with a Paragon called Dong Bo Xue Ying, who is from a different race.” A protector mentioned from behind Jiao Yun Liu.

“Alright. Let us go.”

Jiao Yun Liu nodded, before leading his protectors away. Although this location was deep underground, it was tightly protected by many ancient arrays. Jiao Yun Liu inwardly approved as his gaze swept over those arrays. Even though he knew the fruits were far from ripening, he could not resist coming by frequently to have a look at the fruit. He was afraid that an accident would occur. Only by personally verifying that the fruit was still growing, would he be able to appease his worrying heart.

Even though he lived just on the surface of the planet, and the arrays were under his control, he still came by frequently to inspect the plant.

“When the fruit is ripe, I’ll be able to become stronger. I could even awaken my bloodline and step into the Ruler realm, and even take over the position as crown prince.” Jiao Yun Liu’s eyes contained a strand of sharpness. It appeared for just a brief moment, before it was retracted and deeply concealed.

…

Jiao Yun Liu brought his protectors along and arrived on the surface soon after. Another avatar of Shan Dan took the initiative to lead them over to welcome Xue Ying.

“This should be Brother Dong Bo Xue Ying?” Jiao Yun Liu chuckled.

Xue Ying had just arrived on this planet when he met up with Third Highness, who had brought his protectors over to personally welcome him. Shan Dan’s true body reminded Xue Ying from beside him, “This is the Third Highness.””

“Greetings, Third Highness.” Xue Ying bowed slightly.

“I’ve always been looking for more protectors. Brother Dong Bo’s arrival is a truly joyful event. However, I would like to ascertain Protector Dong Bo’s combat power. How about that?” Third Highness Jiao Yun Liu declared. After all, amongst the Paragons, there were the strong and there were the weak. At the very least, he had to have a rough understanding of his protectors” capabilities.

Xue Ying nodded, “Anytime.”

“Then, Protector Cong, come forward and exchange some moves with Protector Dong Bo.” Third Highness Jiao Yun Liu ordered.

“Alright.”

A dark, tall, and muscular male walked over from another group of protectors. His entire body was metallic, and it seemed that he was not a fleshy-type being.

Xue Ying understood that this man was also from a different race. After all, this cosmos was based on the bloodline cultivation system, and the living beings of this cosmos were naturally fleshy-type beings! Earlier, he had heard from Shan Dan that there were a total of 15 protectors under the Third Highness who were native to this cosmos. Another five were from other cosmoses, and he would be the sixth!

“Let us fight in the void.” Protector Cong’s voice was deep and resounding. He took a step forward and appeared in the starry sky.

Xue Ying similarly followed into the starry sky.

The two faced each other.

“Begin.” Third Highness and the other protectors were looking up from beneath. With their vision, they could see the battle clearly.

“Hou~”

Protector Cong suddenly roared.

A ray of white light shot out from his mouth, almost instantaneously arriving before Xue Ying.

The protectors were silently watching from below. They clearly recognised it as one of the killing move originating from the cultivation system of Protector Cong’s original cosmos. This ray would be charged up within his body, and its force was tremendous.Most of them did not dare to receive this hit directly with their bodies. They felt that the one called ‘Xue Ying’ would have to spend quite some effort to defend against this single move alone. It might even be possible for him to lose.

“Hu.”

The light ray passed through Xue Ying’s body, disappearing into the distant starry sky.

And Xue Ying remained uninjured!

“Mn?” Protector Cong was shocked. Spectating the battle from below, the Third Highness” eyes lit up. The other protectors were also extremely shocked. He actually dared to face this attack head on, yet he remained uninjured, as if his body was like the void?

“It is my turn.” Xue Ying chuckled. The move he displayed was none other than the Mirage World. While it seemed as if he was just standing there, but what actually happened was that he had entered the Mirage World. The other party’s attack might be able to affect him within the Mirage World, but his body easily withstood the remnant force. He did not have to move at all.

Xue Ying flipped his hand, and darts appeared in his palm.

These darts were his spoils of war from the protectors of the Ancestor Mother Religion. There was a total of 12 darts in this set. It had been made from some exotic bones and were not True God weapons. However, their firmness and sharpness were not inferior than True God weapons. Actually, most of the weapons the Ancestor Mother Religion used were weapons like poles and swords, which were more primitive. Even so, most of them could match up against True God Weapons.
