Lord Xue Ying

The disturbance created by Undying Underworld Emperor this time was genuinely huge. It affected a total of 15 nations.

Xue Ying and other Cosmos Gods might not have keen senses like the ‘final realm cultivators’, but they still felt the operation of that huge array. Furthermore, some of the Primal Chaos cultivators who were near the 15 nations felt it too.

“This is?” Xue Ying was originally seated underneath a pavilion, though he abruptly stood and peered through the void.

Using the Destruction Realm Teleportation…

Xue Ying could see a calamity happening by the boundary of the Realm Heart Great Land. Looking at the city at a particular location, he saw numerous souls flying away. Xue Ying then switched his view to another city, only to see a similar scene–souls struggling against the attraction. There were just too many souls flying into the sky that they covered the world.

“Swordmaster, do you know what is going on?” Xue Ying transmitted a message to Swordmaster. At the same time, he also questioned Southern Cloud King.

After all, with his Destruction Realm Teleportation, Xue Ying could easily rely on it to see every part of the Origin World.

“Mn?”

At that moment, he saw it.

Tracing back where the source of the frightening aura came from, Xue Ying saw a humongous four-hoofed beast corpse shackled by 16 bronze pillars. There were currently three black maelstroms revolving above its body. Souls were howling miserably from within the maelstroms. There were even innumerable souls being transported to the location nearby.

Emperor Summer, Limitless City Master, and Towering Sky King were currently facing that handsome young man garbed in golden robe and had a crown over his head.

“It’s Undying Underworld Emperor.” Swordmaster transmitted over from his side, “It appears that Undying Underworld Emperor is holding some sacrificial ritual. That corpse belongs to a Chaotic Origin Lifeform, and he is currently making use of all souls located in the nearby 15 nations including those belonging to the kings–Cosmos God souls! When the sacrificial ritual just began, Emperor Summer and others arrived to stop him from carrying on.”

“That is simply madness.” Xue Ying paled.

Sacrificing so many souls?

Compared to what Undying Underworld Emperor was doing, Blood Sacrificing a city was not worth mentioning. How many cities did a nation have? And this was sending 15 nations to a sacrifice! It should be approximately 1% to 2% of the overall population in the entire Realm Heart Great Land! The Realm Heart Great Land was way more prosperous than his hometown Origin World. One aspect was because the ‘Primitive Ancient Sacred World’ had shattered in his hometown before, greatly damaging its Origin Source and as a result, greatly reducing the population in the world. Another aspect was due to the diligence of Yuan in creating and protecting the Realm Heart Great Land, allowing the population of cultivators here to far surpass that of ordinary Origin Worlds.

1% to 2% of the population in Realm Heart Great Land was comparable to 10% of the population back at his hometown.

Xue Ying had also saved this number of souls after dealing with Sacred Master. He could not forget the impact from the instinctive cries of joy from those countless souls.

“Sacrificing so many lives?” Xue Ying was filled with disbelief and indignance.

As they said, the title of Undying Underworld Emperor represented ‘death’.

But Xue Ying was still astonished by it!

“How dare he!” Fury surged through Xue Ying.

…

This matter was so big that it led to the spreading of news between experts, causing even Primal Chaos cultivators to be aware of it. For a moment, many experts across the entire Realm Heart Great Land were paying close notice to that nameless desolate mountain! They were also watching if Emperor Summer could obstruct ‘Undying Underworld Emperor’ from carrying on.

“Emperor Summer, hearsay you are the strongest unparalleled existence within the Realm Heart Great Land in this era?” The handsome Undying Underworld Emperor chuckled, “You are remarkable by cultivating two Daos to the final realm, albeit you are still too green.”

The expression of Emperor Summer fell slightly. Despite that, he roared, “Underworld Emperor, you actually dared to use a secret technique to devour so many souls that it affected a total of 15 nations? Do you know how many nations there are in the Realm Heart Great Land? You are going overboard! I’m afraid that ‘Yuan’ would punish you for commiting such sin!”

“Underworld Emperor, it is better not to do things so excessively after coming back not too long ago. It is a huge sin to kill so many sentient beings.” Limitless City Master also added solemnly.

Towering Sky King stated: “Underworld Emperor, I do hope for you to show some pity for these weak cultivators.”

Undying Underworld Emperor merely sneered: “Alright, let’s not spout any more rubbish. This sacrificial ritual is very important to me. It is better for none of you to obstruct me.”

He extended his right hand.

At that moment, flames began rising from his palm.

That flame contained destruction and death.

The expression of Emperor Summer, Limitless City Master, and Towering Sky King changed when they saw it. From that single move, they were able to determine that Undying Underworld Emperor was absolutely not any weaker than Emperor Summer.

“This Realm Heart Great Land is a land protected by Yuan.” Emperor Summer declared coldly.

“I understand Yuan’s personality more than you do.” Undying Underworld Emperor derided, “Yuan does indeed treat the weak quite well amongst his peers, but it is impossible for him to stop me from doing such a minor matter. It is entirely possible for other Chaotic Origin Lifeforms to use the entire population of an Origin World as training for an expert. I am merely sacrificing 1% to 2% of the population in Realm Heart Great Land, so how big a deal could it be? The Realm Heart Great Land can easily recover this number.”

“The current Realm Heart Great Land has already reached a limit in its population. By sacrificing some, I am simply providing more entertainment and fun for the Great Land.”

Undying Underworld Emperor casually continued, “Yuan would not do anything as long as my actions do not affect the balance.”

“And there’s also the three of you.”

“It is better for you all to leave.” A cold smirk rose by the edge of Undying Underworld Emperor’s lips.

Emperor Summer swept across the place with his gaze before coldly retorting: “Underworld Emperor, both of us are comparable in strength. I might not be able to threaten you, but it is easy for me to disrupt your affair by destroying your array. I urge you to be less arrogant.”

“You dare!”

Undying Underworld Emperor revealed a savage look. It felt as if his voice came from an abyss, “I’ve already utilized the corpse of the Chaotic Origin Lifeform and many precious treasures just for this sacrifice! Whoever dares to disrupt my affair! I swear that I’ll definitely do my utmost to let you know regret! Your descendants, your disciples, your masters, your nation, and all your cities… I’ll kill, kill, and kill everyone of them!”

Emperor Summer, Limitless City Master, and Towering Sky King could not help but feel their hearts trembling when they heard this sound.

They knew that Undying Underworld Emperor was not lying.

Because he had done so before the First War of the Ancient Nation! After all, his name was synonymous with ‘death’!

“I have no longer any hopes of progressing in other cultivation paths, and am too lazy to compete with all of you! Once the sacrificial ritual is completed, I’ll enter Broken Teeth Mountain Range without returning anymore.” Undying Underworld Emperor coldly declared, “You should act more discreetly and not offend me. Otherwise… I believe you will know what I would do.”

The expression of Emperor Summer became uglier.

Madman.

Undying Underworld Emperor was truly a madman! He was also a madman who had no worries and concerns of! He did not have any nations, and neither did he care about any subordinates or organizations. When Undying Underworld Emperor became infuriated, the consequences would be dire.

“Ai, Underworld Emperor, you will eventually regret it for acting so fanatical.” Limitless City Master sighed before disappearing from the scene.

“Let’s go.” Towering Sky King shook his head too.

Emperor Summer gave Undying Underworld Emperor a deep look before disappearing from the place.

They could sense the resolution of Undying Underworld Emperor. Furthermore, this matter was critical to Undying Underworld Emperor. If they disrupted his affair, the consequence was something they could not accept.

“Hmph.” Undying Underworld Emperor coldly laughed.

Without the hindrances by Emperor Summer and others, the countless souls in the sky continued flying once again to the three enormous black maelstroms.

“No–”

“Save us, save us!”

“I don’t want to die, I don’t wanna die!”

The innumerable souls that were momentarily paused in the sky saw as the three powerful experts left. They felt anxiety coursing through them and started shouting out for help frantically.

…

The experts in the entire Realm Heart Great Land became quiet.

Emperor Summer and the other two unparalleled existences had left the scene.

The threat declared by ‘Undying Underworld Emperor’ was made known to everybody. Even Xue Ying could deduce the content by relying on his Destruction Realm Teleportation to observe the movement of their mouths.

To Emperor Summer and the others, saving the beings being sacrificed currently from the 15 nations located at the boundary of the world would likely bring more damage to their own nations. Even with the current strength of Emperor Summer, he could only protect a few cities. The Summer Wind Ancient Nation was too big. Having reproduced for so many years, the clansmen of ‘Summer Clan’ had practically spread across every single city in the Summer Wind Ancient Nation! Comparing the choice between letting those from the 15 nations die or watching as his own people die, Emperor Summer and others had easily made their decisions.

Now that the three unparalleled existences that held pity to the weak had left…

As for Moonflower King, Eternal Night Primogenitor, Realm Beast King, and others, it was even more impossible for them to do anything. They were even excited from watching it as it happened.

“How could this be?”

There were also Cosmos Gods that were filled with pity and anger on what was happening.

“Unless we can only watch as things happen?”

“But who dares to stand up? Undying Underworld Emperor could casually take out the corpse of a Chaotic Origin Lifeform. He is even the strongest unparalleled existence before the First War of the Ancient Nation even started. Who knows how strong he is currently? He might even be so powerful that ancient nations could not resist against his vengeance! Hence, who is actually courageous to go against him?”

“Ai…”

Many experts felt sorrowful as they watched silently.

“What about Heaven’s Will Daoist? Aren’t he planning to stop all devils from committing grievous sins? Does he dare to stand up this time?”

“It is the Undying Underworld Emperor! How can he be compared to ordinary devils. But it is still a mystery who Heaven’s Will Daoist is. Who knows if he might just appear.” Various parties were discussing about it, though none dared to stand up.

…

Within Flying Snow City.

Xue Ying watched as things unfolded. When he saw Emperor Summer and the rest leaving, his expression shifted.

“Xue Ying, you must not show yourself. Underworld Emperor is a madman. He is the incarnation of death, so it is recommended for you not go offend him.” Southern Cloud King was currently anxiously advising Xue Ying, “As you said before, you would try to endure a little more when you are not strong enough. And you would do things according to how strong you are. Currently, Undying Underworld Emperor is so powerful that it is unfathomable.”

“Xue Ying! The methods of Underworld Emperor are hard to fathom. I’ve heard Emperor Summer say that Underworld Emperor has once visited some of the incredibly mysterious grounds amidst the Chaotic Origin Dimension. If you were to show up, you would definitely be in danger.” Swordmaster transmitted too.

Xue Ying watched.

Through his Destruction Realm Teleportation, he saw the sea of souls flowing from all the cities in the region.

Some were souls of infants, some were souls of weak teenagers, and some were souls of powerful cultivators. There were male and female, old and young, cultivators of different races… their number could simply not be counted. It was pointless no matter how they struggled. At this moment, who in the Realm Heart Great Land could save them?

Must he look on helplessly as they were devoured?

“Undying Underworld Emperor, who would have thought that the time for me to face you has come.” Xue Ying had thought of how possible it was when facing against all devils in the Realm Heart Great Land, that there would be a day he might face the most vicious and terrifying existence–Undying Underworld Emperor!

…

Nameless desolate mountain.

There was the humongous corpse of a Chaotic Origin Lifeform with three huge black maelstroms devouring the souls. By the side, the handsome Undying Underworld Emperor stood in midair watching this coldly. He believed nobody in the Realm Heart Great Land would dare to obstruct him!

“Mn?” Undying Underworld Emperor turned over, “It seems there is still someone who dares to be brazen?”

A black crack flashed in the void. A white-robed male walked out of it. He was none other than ‘Heaven’s Will Daoist’.

“Heaven’s Will Daoist!”

“Heaven’s Will Daoist has really appeared.”
