Chapter 1385 - Could not Hold on any Longer! (1/2)
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
‘Reaching the realm of a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform with a final realm in the Dao of Soul, I would not encounter any bottlenecks in my cultivation towards Overlord. This is an absolute path.’ Xue Ying felt puzzled inwardly, ‘Dao Cultivators at the Half-Chaotic Origin Level are quite commonly seen. There are several dozens of them just within Cultivation Sacred World itself. There are definitely many more of them across the endless Chaotic Origin Dimension. But why have I never heard of a cultivator becoming an Overlord simply after reaching the final realm in his Dao of Soul?’
He had never heard of this before!
So that meant…
Before him, there should not be any cultivator who succeeded!
In the vast endless Chaotic Origin Dimension, he could very well be the only one to reach final realm in the Dao of Soul!
‘Right.’
‘So, the reason why the Sea of Abyss Master could not understand what happened when I borrowed the strength of the World Energy to fight with him, is because he hasn’t heard of this before.’ Xue Ying was becoming more and more confident that this was the reason.
******
At Cultivation Sacred World.
The Sea of Abyss Master who was completely permeated with shackles, roared. Those shackles were pulled taut, making it hard for the Sea of Abyss Master to move or do anything at all. His 16 tentacles waved in the world, letting out clanging sounds as they flew at Xue Ying.
“Peng peng peng~”
Both parties fought, creating blasting sounds along the way.
Of the two 4,000 kilometers giant fighting, the Sea of Abyss Master had countless inscriptions carved on his body. Even his skin membrane layer contained endless profound mysteries. During battle, some of the energy moving on the surface of his body shows the usage of laws at the Chaotic Origin Level. Compared to him, Xue Ying was clearly much cruder! At this moment, the aura Xue Ying gave off had not even reached the Chaotic Origin Level! His combat techniques were very crude too as they were still at the Half-Chaotic Origin Level.
Fortunately, Xue Ying had part of the Origin Source Energy boosting his strength. The World Energy in the entire Cultivation Sacred World was also for him to control. In addition to his overwhelming advantage in his speed, that was how he could still fight.
Even so… out of eight to ten moves, Xue Ying would not be able to block one of them.
“Hu.”
A tentacle pierced over like a shadow.
Xue Ying tried defending himself with his spear, yet when the tentacle came, it produced a mysterious ripple which caused its speed to seem fast and slow at the same time. Time and space had been affected. Xue Ying actually parried against nothing with his spear.
“Pu.” That tentacle pierced through the chest of Xue Ying. It was fortunate that Xue Ying was covered everywhere with a thick layer of World Energy. When the tentacle barely pierced through the layer of World Energy, it pierced into his chest. Nonetheless, the Origin Source Energy easily suppressed the wound around the chest from worsening.
Xue Ying rapidly retreated. His injuries recovered as he did.
‘My speed is much faster than his. His techniques and moves are so slow yet I still could not defend against him?’ Xue Ying had a sullen feeling as if he was a fool. Those techniques which he was proud of had seemed to be a sideshow against the profound techniques of the enemy! It was also due to his overwhelming advantage in speed that gave him a chance to fight back.
“Sou sou sou…”
Xue Ying was trying to play to his strength. He maximized his advantage in speed. The Sea of Abyss Master tried defending against Xue Ying. But the other party’s speed was too slow. The ‘black-robed tall and thin male’ was even controlling those array shackles with varying force, pulling it taut at times and letting it loose, frustrating the Sea of Abyss Master. This enormous inferiority in speed had made him suffer from the occasional strikes.
“Pu.” The spear pierced into the neck of the Sea of Abyss Master.
Every single part of his body was covered with a thick skin membrane layer. As the skin membrane layer was pierced, it immediately emitted a vibrant water light as if there was a millstone shaving away the force from Xue Ying’s spear! This technique which incorporated the World Energy had simply been blocked by the ‘surface skin membrane layer’. Xue Ying could not even break through the skin at all.
‘Even though these sealing arrays are suppressing his strength, his fleshy body is still that powerful.’ Xue Ying understood in his heart that the current sealing arrays could not injure the Sea of Abyss Master at all! It was only suppressing the other party. And the fleshy body of the Sea of Abyss Master had completely recovered. Even if he stood there allowing Xue Ying to strike him, Xue Ying would still fail to break through his skin.
This was the gap between one with the combat strength of a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform and one with the combat strength of a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.
…
During the process of the mad fighting, as he directly defended against an attack sent by eight tentacles, suddenly, with a ‘peng’, the spear in Xue Ying’s hand exploded into powder. As a result, Xue Ying was forced to retreat and pull a distance between them.
“You don’t even have a good weapon.” The Sea of Abyss Master sneered.
Xue Ying had no choice.
The spear in his hand had been condensed from some of the Origin Source Energy in this Cultivation Sacred World before covering it on the outside with a layer of World Energy! Its toughness was limited. It was due to the slightly lower combat strength exhibited by the Sea of Abyss Master that let the spear survive until now.
“Mn?”
Xue Ying suddenly felt something. He revealed a joyous look.
At this moment, the avatar back at his hometown Origin World had easily relied on the Mirage and Illusory Realm to influence the will of the Origin World. It had also began refining the Origin Source of the World.
‘I am about to break through.’ With a thought, Xue Ying disappeared from the location. This fleshy body had dissipated back into World Energy and returned back to the world. His soul, instead, went back to the Origin Source of this Cultivation Sacred World.
“Mn?”
“He escaped after his weapon shattered?”
The Sea of Abyss Master was stunned. This cultivator called Monarch Flying Snow had suddenly disappeared?
‘How did he escape from my law domain?’ Even until now, the Sea of Abyss Master could still not understand, ‘According to the previous exchange, his realm is still at the Half-Chaotic Origin Level and is very weak. His techniques are very crude too… if not for his overwhelming speed and the protection from the concentrated World Energy around, I’d have eliminated him.’
Suddenly, the expression of the Sea of Abyss Master changed as he turned towards one direction.
“Hong~”
The entire Cultivation Sacred World trembled. The world shook. The World Energy was also rapidly converging onto one point as a terrifying aura started emerging.
‘Chaotic Origin Expert?’ The Sea of Abyss Master paled.
‘No.’ The Sea of Abyss Master widened his eyes in disbelief, ‘This is a World Realm Chaotic Origin Expert!’
Under normal circumstances, it would take a very long time for a weak avatar belonging to a Chaotic Origin Expert to absorb the surrounding Chaotic Origin Energy before it could become a Prime Avatar.
Only during the advancement in life would it rapidly devour all energy!
Just like how Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor broke through previously to become a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform.
Or like how the Sea of Abyss Master broke through to become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform. Even under the suppression from the world, he could still devour all energy.
This breakthrough in the level of life… absorbed energy at an exaggerated pace. He could advance in a very short period!
‘It seems that there is a World Realm Chaotic Origin Expert emerging over there.’ The Sea of Abyss Master was incredibly certain. The consumption of the surging World Energy over there was so great that it forced the Origin Source of the Cultivation Sacred World to devour Chaotic Origin Energy wildly from the surrounding Chaotic Origin Dimension.
…
Xue Ying stood in the vast wilderness. He controlled the World Energy to isolate his surroundings so as to prevent anyone else from spying on him.
‘Prime Avatar.’ Xue Ying revealed a grin.
This Prime Avatar contained 90% of his current strength.
And all his other avatars scattered in his hometown Origin World and Realm Heart Great Land occupied just 10% of his energy. He had no choice. Even though his avatars were scattered around the place, in reality, they had the same consciousness and belonged to one single entity! Hence, the amount of energy he could temporarily contain had reached a pinnacle.
‘If I have sufficient time, I can properly study the profound mysteries inherent in my body and my soul.’ Xue Ying shook his head with a smile, ‘But there is no need for that either. Currently, I should focus more on fusing my ‘Dao of Void’ and ‘Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm’. I only need four hours before I’d succeed in fusing them, allowing me to grasp ‘Dao’ at the Chaotic Origin Level.’
‘But right now, my current strength is sufficient to deal with the Sea of Abyss Master.’ Xue Ying felt confident.
No matter what, the Sea of Abyss Master was merely a new World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.
And he was one as well!
But his strength was not being suppressed or restricted at all.
“Hu.”
With a teleport, Xue Ying proceeded to where the Sea of Abyss Master was.
******
When Xue Ying appeared again right before the Sea of Abyss Master, the Sea of Abyss Master fell into a daze.
Don’t say him, even the Hall Spirit, that ‘black-robed tall and thin male’, and many other Chaotic Origin Experts that were paying attention to this place, were all shocked.
“World Realm Chaotic Origin Expert!”
“He broke through?”
“So fast?”
“Refining the Origin Source of a World requires him to gradually influence the will of the populace. This is a very time-consuming matter. How could he achieve it so quickly?”
