Chapter 1140 - The 12th Stage (2/2)
‘The 12th stage.’ Xue Ying was also pondering over it.
This time, acquiring the <Chaotic Origin Seven Strikes> made him more delighted than the slightest chance of obtaining a supreme-graded secret treasure.
But he would not find it bad to have more treasures!
And furthermore, the <Chaotic Origin Seven Strikes> was simply a cultivation technique that he could not impart to others. Furthermore, Xue Ying still lacked an appropriate weapon. For instance, the materials used to refine a weapon meant to execute the <Chaotic Origin Seven Strikes> were frighteningly expensive. He had to sell almost all his treasures, yet it was still not enough. Hence, Xue Ying had to venture deeper into the Realm Heart God Palace and try to get more treasures.
By crossing through the 12th stage, he would at least acquire a treasure worth 100 billion cosmos crystals. If he were fortunate, he might get something better!
‘Stake it all!’
Xue Ying closed his eyes. He went back to meditating and continued to perfect his cultivation techniques.
…
All five present had an intense desire towards crossing the 12th stage.
If they could get through it, the rewards they get would be sufficient that even if they were expelled out of the Realm Heart God Palace, it would be a worthwhile trip. They had fought through 11 stages before this all because of this moment.
“It is here.”
“The 12th stage.”
Paragon Master Pu Su, Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, Black Sovereign King, Hunter, and Xue Ying turned solemn. After spending a thousand years to recover, they had recovered their state to the peak.
“Weng.”
The scenes before them distorted.
“This is?”
Xue Ying stood on a dark yellow cloud path. Surrounding the cloud path was primal chaos. To the distance, Xue Ying could see many other cloud paths extending beyond.
A total of five cloud paths formed in a fan shape that led toward a deeper region.
From the deep region.
There seemed to be a figure seated on a throne.
That towering figure swept his gaze towards an expert situated on each of the five paths. He mentioned indifferently: “Kill them.”
“Yes.”
Beneath the throne were a group of protectors.
“Sou sou sou…”
Five teams of protectors each charged out on a respective cloud path each.
“Mn?” Xue Ying felt an unseen force surrounding the cloud paths, “It seems we have to fight against the enemy by ourselves?”
That’s right too.
The further they proceeded, the more frightening the rewards would get. Hence, it was logical for only those who were sufficiently strong to be rewarded.
“Sou sou sou…”
With a flash, Xue Ying disappeared. A cloud of mist began spreading out in all directions. His figure had strangely appeared in all the miniature spatial holes that were in the mist. He was constantly changing positions, and occasionally striking out at an enemy! At the same time, he was also paying notice to the fighting happening out in the four other cloud paths so as to find out what was real and illusory.
He did not have to experience it personally to know that the 12th stage is definitely difficult. Even Paragon Master Pu Su and others weren’t confident of it. Xue Ying naturally had to be more careful.
‘So powerful?’
Xue Ying was shocked.
His personal survivability skills were formidable. Furthermore, he had altered the Scarlet Cloud Domain, allowing him to temporarily survive for a longer period of time.
But Paragon Master Pu Su, Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, and Black Sovereign King immediately erupted with their full power. Hunter was the only one that was trying his best to evade against the incoming attacks. He sought to observe what was real and illusory.
“Peng peng peng…”
The battles were intense.
Each team had a total of 16 experts. They worked together perfectly well. Their techniques were all profound and they specialized in different aspects–Dao of Void, Dao of Blade, and many other Daos. There were even some that specialized in the soul.
“Peng peng peng…”
Paragon Master Pu Su and Black Sovereign King were injured continually. Even Hunter who was doing his utmost to evade the incoming attacks was becoming wounded. It was only Paragon Master Bewitching Sword who was in a better situation.
“Peng.” Xue Ying felt an unseen ripple sweeping across him. His body trembled. Following that, a huge great hammer came down on him, forcing him out of the tiny spatial pockets. Following that, blades, spears, and arrays started engulfing him.
And on another side–
“Not good.”
The circumstances Paragon Master Pu Su were in became dire. Even though he tried his best to survive, in the blink of an eye, he suffered from nine waves of killing techniques, causing him to be so grievously injured that he reached a state close to death.
“Weng!”
Unseen energy enveloped him. It directly teleported Paragon Master Pu Su out. If this teleportation did not take place, he would have died!
And thus ended the journey of Paragon Master Pu Su in the Realm Heart God Palace!
‘This is too terrifying.’ Black Sovereign King, Hunter, and Xue Ying were all pushed into a corner at this moment.
‘These protectors are coordinating too well.’ Xue Ying no longer cared about others. He had to survive. Previously, he thought he could still observe what was real and illusory given his domain and survival techniques. Now it seemed that his actions were simply a joke.
