“Ah~” The blood-armored four-armed expert let out a painful roar. After the six Dark Bubbles exploded, his four arms were left with only two, and there were many brutal injuries on his body. Half of his head was gone as he stared at the distant Xue Ying. His eye was filled with indignance, though his heart was filled with dismal since he knew he would die in the hands of this white-robed young man.
Xue Ying was traveling through the void in the Mirage. He was doing his best to maintain a distance from the other party.
“Again.”
Xue Ying was startled at how strong the body of the other party was. Nevertheless, he began constructing the Dark Worlds once again–six Dark Worlds descended and wrapped around the enemy.
“Pa pa pa…”
The worlds rapidly shrank, and six Dark Bubbles exploded after that. It might seem fun, but in reality, it contained a frightening power.
‘”Dark World”–this absolute art is indeed powerful. The enemy can’t get close to me before dying.’ Xue Ying sighed inwardly, ‘But its flaw is obvious too. The moment an enemy gets close to me, things will become troublesome. Both the first style ‘Dark Bubble’ and second style ‘Sky Punishment Edge’ are both specialized in long-range battles.’
‘That Dark World Master should likely have died due to his weakness in close combat.’ Xue Ying made his guesses.
The Dark World Master definitely wanted to cover up this weakness of his.
He was trying to make his body stronger so that his close combat prowess would be more formidable! But ultimately, if he weren’t specialized in certain aspects of cultivation, he would not be even if he cultivated for an extended period in them! Being an ‘Ancient Cultivator’, the Dark World Master had a heaven-shaking talent in the illusory realm. But he did not specialize in other aspects. Even if he wanted to reach large successes in other systems, it would not be easy for him.
‘I’ve been doing my best to cultivate in both the Dao of Slaughter and Dao of Ripple, I do not lack effort in cultivating the Voidwalker system too.’ Xue Ying thought.
Even though his talent in both Dao of Slaughter and Dao of Ripple were weaker than his talent in Dao of Mirage—both had not reached the Unity realm, and he had yet to grasp the Apocalyptic Fourth Sword–it was fine.
He had perceived the Apocalyptic Second Sword at the Ruler realm still!
‘I must focus on improving my close combat skills–the Voidwalker system can strengthen me physically and boost my survival skills too. I would then have covered up the greatest weakness of “Dark World”.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘By then, I would have many different techniques which would make me so much stronger than now.’
Even though he was thinking of these, Xue Ying was still continuously unleashing the six Dark Worlds, infuriating the blood-armored enemy. Despite that, the enemy could only remain sullen as he could not touch Xue Ying at all; Xue Ying was attacking him from afar.
The injuries on the blood-armored creature were getting heavier and heavier.
When 60 consecutive Dark Worlds were constructed and exploded on the enemy, Xue Ying was able to finally exterminate him. The remnant blood light soon fused back into the land.
“I’ve finally won.” Xue Ying let out a breath.
The enemy could not reach him at all.
He had squandered the enemy to death using his Dark Bubbles! The enemy had a strong physical body and horrifying speed which would definitely give Xue Ying great pressure if he were to engage in close combat with him.
…
At the fifth level of Star Pagoda, in the distant region of thunder, a figure suddenly appeared. He was none other than the hunchbacked ‘Forefather Tian Yu’.
“Forefather.” Xue Ying was still recollecting the previous battle when he saw Forefather Tian Yu appearing from afar. He immediately went over to greet him respectfully.
“Dong Bo Xue Ying.” Forefather Tian Yu nodded. Watching the scene of how Xue Ying reacted to the assassination, he long understood that this brat had would certainly be able to get through the fifth level of Star Pagoda.
“It has long been circulating around within the inner section of the Great Void Heaven Temple, that those who got through the fifth level of Star Pagoda will be able to know a huge secret.” Forefather Tian Yu laughed.
“Yes.” Xue Ying replied, “Whenever I am with the other Inner Hall Elders, they would occasionally mention about this matter, yet they would stop talking about it immediately because of my presence.”
“This is the rule. Not just in my Great Void Heaven Temple, the Primogenitor Island or the Jade Light Sacred Territory, as long as it is within the Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World or in the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World—in all six great holy grounds, every expert had to get through the fifth level of Star Pagoda to know this secret.” Forefather Tian Yu said.
Xue Ying nodded.
“But prior to mentioning this matter to you…”
“I still have to talk about the primitive Ancient Sacred World first.” Forefather Tian Yu’s eyes were faintly discernible. He began explaining slowly, “A very long time ago, at that time when the Ancient Sacred World was still one whole, the laws on the primitive Ancient Sacred World were much stronger than that on any of the current sacred worlds. It had a stronger suppression on everyone’s combat power. But nevertheless, countless beings were reproducing and cultivating.”
