Chapter 967 - The Dust has Settled (1/2)

Xue Ying carefully peered at this ‘peak battle’. It was rare for battles of this level to occur.

Even though it was taxing for him, and most of the combat techniques were too quick and blurred, Xue Ying had gradually deduced and understood some parts of the battle.

Xue Ying was able to discern from the combat moves of Sacred Master that they contained the profound mysteries of slaughter, destruction, light, thunder… many profound mysteries were inherent within his moves. Nevertheless, these profound mysteries had a single origin–the ‘grayish thunder’. Sacred Master’s combat energy source originated from that thunder.

Thunder contained an apocalyptic power.

Thunder was also filled with destructiveness…

‘Sacred Master is very similar to World Ancestor. They specialized in a single source of power.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘All the power of Sacred Master seems to originate from thunder, yet it suffices for him to suppress both Ancestor Sorcerer and World Ancestor.’

‘World Ancestor focused on his body! He has refined his body to an unfathomable stage. The strength of his body is even more horrifying than several other secret treasures, and the attacks by Sacred Master could not injure a single hair of his at all.’ Xue Ying could not help but lament over this fact. He understood Black Emperor’s four great inheritances which seemed to temper one’s fleshy body to an unfathomable extent.

But after seeing this battle, he finally understood what a horrifying fleshy body meant.

‘If one said that Sacred Master focused on ‘thunder’, and World Ancestor specialized in his ‘fleshy body’, then Ancestor Sorcerer has no specialties.’ Xue Ying thought.

Ancestor Sorcerer had many formidable techniques despite being ‘mixed’. He could even fuse some of the very formidable moves together, allowing him to unleash killing moves that were formidable, forcing Sacred Master to treat them carefully. But the only weakness he had was that Ancestor Sorcerer required time to cast his horrifying moves. Hence, in a short battle, Ancestor Sorcerer could never win World Ancestor.

‘No wonder World Ancestor and Ancestor Mother are publicly acknowledged to be the two existences closest to the Sacred Master. Ancestor Sorcerer could barely compete with World Ancestor and the others by relying on his techniques, but he is still quite lacking.’ Xue Ying nodded inwardly.

Ancestor Mother and World Ancestor were publicly acknowledged to be of one minor level amongst Cosmos Gods at the second level. Ancestor Sorcerer and Blade Emperor were of another minor level!

‘But despite both World Ancestor and Ancestor Sorcerer working together against Sacred Master, they can’t injure Sacred Master at all.’ Xue Ying felt heaviness in his heart. Sacred Master still had the upper hand despite fighting against two at once. He was indeed an existence who could become enemies with all Cosmos Gods by himself! It was very difficult trying to kill him.

‘I should work hard to become a Cosmos God first.’

Xue Ying thought.

He knew himself that despite being at the ninth level currently, it was hard for him to compare with Cosmos Gods still. Xue Ying still lacked understanding in the Dao of Mirage which he specialized most.

…

As Xue Ying was thoroughly observing the battle, he suddenly felt his senses tingling and looked upwards.

In the distant, high above the Great Void Heaven Temple, that lump of rolling enormous black light suddenly fell downwards into the cavern-dwelling where Swordmaster stayed. It fused into the insides of that cavern-dwelling before disappearing.

‘What happened?’ Xue Ying, Primal Chaos Hall Master, Inquisitive Sky Hall Master, Celestial Water Hall Master, and others were watching with rapt attention. That terrifying black light actually fell into the cavern-dwelling of Swordmaster?

“Hahaha…”

Forefather Tian Yu and Blade Emperor who had always been responsible for protecting the place revealed a joyous expression after seeing this scene.

“He is quite fast.” Blade Emperor praised, “He has succeeded in controlling it so quickly. This has just been the time taken to brew a cup of tea. It seems that Swordmaster is quite adept in controlling it.”

“Haha, it is much faster than I expected.” Forefather Tian Yu was delighted too.

He knew that the Great Void Heaven Temple would become much stronger from now on.

The battle between Sacred Master and World Ancestor and Ancestor Sorcerer persisted for just the time taken to brew a cup of tea.
