Lord Xue Ying

Chapter 746: The Arrival of the Void God

Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_

"Just the two things which I mentioned earlier–the catalog and the Thousand-eyed Fire Bug's blood essence." Bloodshed God-Emperor said. "Those are the two most important things which I urgently need. As long as you complete any one of the tasks, it'll be good. And if you can accomplish both matters... then we will have a guaranteed victory in this war."

"I understand." Xue Ying nodded.

He had previously asked the Third Prince Jiao Yun Liu about these two extremely precious items that his teacher urgently required, yet Jiao Yun Liu had never heard of them before.

Clearly, he had to find someone more formidable and with a greater influence in the Devil Mountain Cosmos. With so many Rulers present in the Devil Mountain Cosmos, there would certainly be a higher chance of finding the elusive treasures that the Bloodshed God-Emperor and the others could not find.

"Then disciple will withdraw for now." Xue Ying said.

"You must be careful in every single thing you do. We already have the advantage in this war with the Ancestor Mother Religion. What we are trying to do is to improve our chances of achieving victory. Thus, it is better for you not to stake your life and push too far." Bloodshed God-Emperor reminded him. "Even though you have avatars, and seem to be in a safe situation, the methods of a Void God far transcend your imaginations. Furthermore, that Primogenitor Devil Mountain has an extraordinary origin. Everything must be done according to its rules.""

"I know." Xue Ying laughed. He then bid farewell to his teacher.

Seeing the Xue Ying's incarnation dissipating, Bloodshed God-Emperor's eyes were filled with expectations. The two matters which he had entrusted to Xue Ying were extremely critical.

'Yi? Xue Ying said before that it is tough to enter the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. Does he have the confidence of doing so?' Bloodshed God-Emperor thought. 'Unless that Third Highness has provided some assistance?'

What information he had regarding the Primogenitor Devil Mountain had come from Xue Ying. Naturally, he knew very little about it.

Thus, he did not understand how difficult it was to gain entry into the place.

******

Xue Ying was not in a rush to set off. Instead, he remained on that planet. It was primarily because His Highness Jiao Yun Liu had mentioned that after he finished cultivating, he would personally send Xue Ying over.

He, as an ignorant outsider, would be better off having His Highness Jiao Yun Liu sending him over. Xue Ying was taking this opportunity to reflect over the battle he had with Red Devil God-Emperor, consolidating his experiences.

"Hua hua hua~"

Suddenly, a torrential rain starting pouring down. The entire world was covered in a blanket of rain.

"Hahaha, hahaha..." Accompanying that, a laughter resounded all across the planet, and a terrifying aura abruptly surged.

"Mn?"

The many protectors could sense this terrifying aura. Xue Ying had also exited from his cultivation. They were looking towards to His Highness" palace in the distance.

One could see a figure standing in midair above the palace. It was His Highness Jiao Yun Liu wearing a scarlet armor. At this moment, a red wave was surging across the surface of his body. His terrifying aura rushed up into the sky, causing the entire planet to tremble. It was fortunate that arrays were protecting the planet; otherwise, it would already have been destroyed.

"Congratulations, your highness. Congratulations, your highness." Many shouts immediately sounded out from the protectors.

The other protectors were also rushing over.

"He has already become a Ruler?" Xue Ying felt slightly startled. Even though it was challenging for someone in the bloodline cultivation system to reach the Ruler realm, comparatively speaking, it was easier than that using the Laws and Profound Mysteries system. At least, they could rely on external aids like the 'Black Devil Sacred Fruits' to significantly increase the chances of a breakthrough. And now, His Highness Jiao Yun Liu had succeeded.

The Ruler realm! How difficult was it to reach the Ruler realm using the laws and profound mysteries system? His own Dao of Mirage and Dao of Slaughter had been cultivated to their limits, yet the path to achieving eternity was still muddled and unclear.

Even though he felt slightly disappointed, Xue Ying still flew over. He congratulated the excited and incomparably thrilled prince. "Congratulations, your highness, for breaking through to the Ruler realm."

"Haha."

His Highness Jiao Yun Liu looked towards Xue Ying. The way he interacted with the other protectors would naturally change, as the gap between Rulers and Paragons was ultimately too large. However, Jiao Yun Liu was still relatively polite towards Xue Ying. This was due to his belief that with Protector Dong Bo's talent, he wouldn't have any problems becoming a Ruler. When he did become one, he would definitely be outstanding amongst the Rulers. It was even possible that he would eventually travel to the "Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World", and Jiao Yun Liu would definitely contact him frequently.

"Brother Dong Bo, this would only be possible thanks to you. Without the Black Devil Sacred Fruits, I would have had to rely on myself, and I don't know just how long I would have taken to break through." His Highness Jiao Yun Liu sighed.

"The Black Devil Sacred Fruits are external aids. To break through, you will still have to depend on yourself." Xue Ying added. "Having broken through, it clearly means that Your Highness has built an adequate foundation."

Jiao Yun Liu chuckled.

That's right.

He had felt repressed for far too long! For the sake of breaking through, he had even attempted to cultivate other systems, spending a considerable amount of effort and concentration to do so. His foundation was indeed extremely solid, and he had finally broken through to the next realm! He had reached a higher realm in life. Previously, Xue Ying could have easily killed the third prince. However, if they were to fight now, it would be tough to determine the victor.

Being able to beat Red Devil God-Emperor did not imply that he could also beat the Third Highness as he was now.

"I did say that after I exit from my closed-door cultivation, I'll personally send you to the Primogenitor Devil Mountain." His Highness Jiao Yun Liu laughed. "Even though I am not qualified, I am very familiar with those who protect the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. I know some of the basic regulations of that place too."

"Many thanks, Your Highness." Xue Ying thanked him.

"Haha, now that I am a Ruler, I would want to try my luck in getting into the Primogenitor Devil Mountain after cultivating further for some time." Jiao Yun Liu chuckled. "There are only three Paragons who can get in, so I never harbored that thought. But a total of 39 Rulers can get into the Primogenitor Devil Mountain... with my father's help, I should have a fighting chance after cultivating further for some time."

"Even with my help, you aren't fully confident?" A hoarse voice sounded.

Xue Ying was frightened the moment he heard that voice. Jiao Yun Liu turned over with shock too. The two of them saw a male standing in midair close by. This male was covered entirely in crimson scales, though the scale on his forehead was white. His silver eyes were cold as if he was looking down on everyone else as if they were all ants.

"Father." Jiao Yun Liu hurriedly greeted with a bow.

"Monarch." All the protectors bowed and greeted him too, Xue Ying included.

None of them were fools. They understood that this man was one of the three Great Emperors with the highest status in the Devil Mountain Cosmos, the patriarch of the Jiao Yun Clan–Great Emperor Jiao Yun!

The monarch was a more ordinary form of address within the Cultivator Cosmos.

But in the Devil Mountain Cosmos, 'King' referred to the Rulers! 'Monarch' was a term only Void Gods were qualified to have.

"Quite interesting."" Great Emperor Jiao Yun Liu said coldly.

The third prince Jiao Yun Liu revealed a joyful expression after hearing that. It had been too long since his father praised him. Since his birth, this was only the second time his father had done so.

"You are a Ruler, and also my son. Naturally, you must enter the Primogenitor Devil Mountain." Great Emperor Jiao Yun coldly stated. "Don't be too useless."

"Yes." Jiao Yun Liu obediently responded.

Great Emperor Jiao Yun turned to Xue Ying. That cold and emotionless silver eyes of his caused Xue Ying's heart to tighten. The aura emanating from the Great Emperor Jiao Yun was slightly more unique–it somehow gave off a feeling of being above the operating cosmic laws.

"Dong Bo Xue Ying." Great Emperor Jiao Yun stated. "I've heard of you. You defeated Red Devil. It is rare for a Paragon to be able to defeat a Ruler."

Xue Ying smiled and nodded with his head lowered.

He did not wish to form enemies in the Devil Mountain Cosmos. Naturally, he had to be obedient and respect the rules of this cosmos.

Third Highness Jiao Yun Liu added from the side. "Fortunately, there is Brother Dong Bo. If not, my Black Devil Sacred Fruits would have been snatched away."

Great Emperor Jiao Yun nodded. 'Your eldest brother was able to get the Red Devil to help him, and he achieved it with his own strength! You were able to get Dong Bo Xue Ying to help you, and this shows your worth. Dong Bo Xue Ying, you are strong enough to enter the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. Are you willing to go and fight against the other three Paragons?"

"I am definitely willing to do so." Xue Ying replied.

"Good. Let's go then."

Great Emperor Jiao Yun brought Xue Ying and the third prince along with a 'sou' after finishing his words. They instantaneously disappeared from the place.

At that moment, the other protectors present let out a sigh of relief. They were all feeling excited and shocked, as this was a once in a lifetime chance of meeting a Great Emperor!
