Chapter 1138 - Getting used to the Stages (1/2)

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

The current atmosphere was slightly strange in the garden.

Xue Ying was still doing pretty good when he teamed up with Paragon Master Pu Su and Paragon Master Bewitching Sword. He sat beside them calmly meditating while waiting for the crucial ninth stage. On another side, Hunter and Black Sovereign glanced at Xue Ying before turning to the red-robed Great Monarch Bone Clamor with a smile that did not feel like one.

“Hmph.” The shriveled face of Great Monarch Bone Clamor turned gloomy. He had lost his left hand, and currently, his bone in the process of re-growing.

Previously during the eighth stage, Great Monarch Bone Clamor was the only one that got injured.

He had no choice.

Even though they were Paragon Masters, it was because they relied on top-graded secret treasures, boosting an aspect of theirs to the final realm of Cosmos God. The majority of their strengths remained at the level-two of Cosmos God. For instance, ‘Great Monarch Bone Clamor’ had been gravely injured during the joint attack by the battleships previously.

“Brat from the Southern Cloud Nation, Pu Su, and Bewitching Sword can protect you currently, but it’ll only become harder as we progressed. By then, it is impossible for them to defend you.” Great Monarch Bone Clamor sneered.

“Many thanks, Monarch, for your concern. However, it’s a pity that Great Monarch Bone Clamor will not get the opportunity to see me die.” Xue Ying retorted with a smile. Since Great Monarch Bone Clamor chose to satirize him, there was no need for him to give any respect to the other party.

The expression of Great Monarch Bone Clamor shifted.

“Haha, what Monarch Flying Snow said is logical. Bone Clamor, you will likely not see that scene.” Black Sovereign added, “Between us, you are possibly the first that would be expelled.”

Hunter glanced over, yet he was too lazy to speak.

Paragon Master Pu Su and Paragon Master Bewitching Sword merely looked at Bone Clamor before continuing their meditation.

“Is that so? We will see.” Great Monarch Bone Clamor felt increasingly resentful, yet he was clear that he had the weakest survivability skills amongst those present. Even though that Xue Ying was weak, he had the help from both Pu Su and Bewitching Sword. Hence, he might not be the first to be expelled.

This made Bone Clamor feel humiliated.

Because…

There were differing levels between Cosmos Gods in the vast Realm Heart Great Land.

At the highest, they were naturally the unparalleled existences! They each hold a supreme position and had immense strength. Few Cosmos Gods could survive in front of them. But they were not invulnerable too as several unparalleled existences had died in history! Some died after venturing into the Broken Teeth Mountain Range, and some died from battles with other unparalleled existences.

The subsequent level consisted of peak Cosmos Gods that did not own any supreme-graded secret treasures, and a minority few Paragon Masters like Great Paragon Fuyi and Southern Cloud King who could survive against unparalleled existences.

And next up was the ordinary Paragon Masters! They had a piece of top-graded secret treasure and could execute two to three moves that contained ‘power equivalent to a final realm Cosmos God’. Nevertheless, other aspects of theirs in areas like survival, escape, domain, and many others remained at the level-two Cosmos God Realm still. Hence, this highlighted their flaws and unparalleled existences could easily trample over them.

But no matter what, some of them were not any weaker as compared to the few apex Paragon Masters like Southern Cloud King. Some might even be stronger! It was only that they lacked in survivability!

They were qualified to disdain those level-two Cosmos Gods that did not own any top-graded secret treasures.

“Let me see how long can you remain so lucky for.” Great Monarch Bone Clamor glared at Xue Ying before sitting down cross-legged. He did not believe that he, as a Great Paragon, could not triumph over an Honored Guest from the Summer Wind Ancient Nation that got lucky.

Xue Ying did not care about it. He continued comprehending the <Chaotic Origin Seven Strikes>.

What he wanted to do now is to apply some of the utilization of Chaotic Origin Energy from the Chaotic Origin First Strike into combat techniques he already had! Thus improving those techniques! This wasn’t as simple as it seemed. It had to depend on whether the technique was suitable. Like the ‘Spectacular Painting’ for instance, Xue Ying discovered that altering it was an extremely difficult task. Instead, altering the <Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique> was comparatively easier.

Because many similarities existed in the Chaotic Origin First Strike, ‘Mist Ripple’, and the Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique.

…

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.

The ninth stage began.

It had been relatively easy for Xue Ying. With the help from both Paragon Master Pu Su and Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, Xue Ying cast his Mirage and Illusory Realm to support them, easily getting through this stage.

“Hahaha, Monarch Flying Snow, it seems this stage is easier than the previous one.” Black Sovereign guffawed

“Hmph, of the 18 Stages, the first nine and the latter nine stages are qualitatively different. It is no longer as simple in the latter few stages.” Great Monarch Bone Clamor coldly commented.

Xue Ying glanced at the two. He couldn’t be bothered to bicker with them.

What he needed to do now is to rely on the help from both Paragon Master Pu Su and Paragon Master Bewitching Sword so that he could walk further in the ’18 Stages’. This way, he would have sufficient time to perfect his techniques. After all, the ‘Chaotic Origin First Strike’ alone could not cover up the gap with these Paragon Masters! Paragon Masters owned top-graded secret treasures and even researched in them for a very long period, maximizing the potential in these top-graded secret treasures…

What he needed now was time to alter his own techniques, perfecting them and making them stronger!

‘Soon, I’ve almost succeeded in improving the <Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique>.’ Xue Ying looked forward to it.
