Lord Xue Ying

That enormous black face formed from black fog charged towards that Majesty Blood Flame Ji whose temper had always been good.

“Hong!” At that moment, a fiery-red flame blasted out from the body of His Majesty Blood Flame Ji. His aura abruptly grew and expanded. He punched out with his fist, causing the void in front to burn and distort. That black fog face then turned into a girl in black gown. She resisted against the fiery force, killing her way to His Majesty Blood Flame Ji before sending her claw out.

The hands of this black-gowned girl expanded. They were like as sharp as blade.

At the same time, 20 over Death Disaster clansmen worked together to attack the natives. Those natives naturally separated into groups of three, with each group forming a combat formation. They welcomed the incoming assault.

…

Xue Ying was the one with the easiest time. He was not in a rush to act. Instead, he was casually watching the situation of the ongoing battle.

“This native majesty seems to be comparable to unparalleled existences in terms of power. Nonetheless, his techniques are cruder and can’t compare with the cultivators.” Xue Ying made his judgment. The other party was powerful, yet he lacked in his usage of laws and profound mysteries. He should be around 20% to 30% of Eternal Night Primogenitor’s strength.

And the other 15 subordinates of his were not weak either.

Especially after they entered a combat formation, with the weakest formation having the strength at the final realm, and the strongest quite similar to the standard of that majesty.

“No wonder they dared to venture into the sky-floating island. This team is quite powerful. But, Swordmaster should be able to suppress all of them by himself.” Xue Ying thought.

On their side, five Death Disaster clansmen came.

Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen’s black gown turned into numerous insects once again. Those insects engulfed some of the incoming Death Disaster clansmen, albeit things were different this time. The leading Death Disaster clansman was an ugly old man wearing black robe. His figure distorted and transformed into an enormous black head. Opening his mouth, he easily devoured the incoming insects.

Those insects continued struggling.

After that enormous mouth shut close, one could see its head distorting still. It appeared that head was trying to trap those insects.

“Mn?” The eyes of Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen flashed with a murderous light. Flapping his wings, he charged forward.

“Sou sou sou sou…”

The other four figures went ahead at Swordmaster and Xue Ying.

“”Hmph.”

Swordmaster lightly shook his head. He could see that the strongest Death Disaster clansman was the one fighting with Blood Flame Ji. Even though the five enemies circling him this time were quite powerful, they were not enough against Swordmaster.

“Chi chi chi~” The sword lights were resplendent and beautiful. They were like rays of light in the sky, arcing through the Death Disaster clansmen.

Swordmaster’s sword light were gentle.

He seemed to be trying to grasp the strength of every Death Disaster clansman.

But of those Death Disaster clansmen whose bodies were cut by the sword light, some were terrified that they immediately transformed into fog before tunneling back underground. Some who were weaker could not escape and died.

In the blink of an eye, two of the four Death Disaster clansmen died, while the other two fled.

As for that enormous head who was trying to trap the insects, he saw this scene and was frightened so much that he could not hold on any further. He immediately took the initiative to dissipate that head into black fog before tunneling into the ground!

“Ah!”

“No, no–”

“Go and die!”

At the same time when Xue Ying’s side was having an easy time dealing with the Death Disaster clansmen, the natives were meeting the core assault by the Death Disaster clansmen. Under the joint attack by 20 over clansmen, two of the natives’ combat formations had already crumbled. Some of these six members who were part of the two fallen combat formations were heavily injured and killed, and some became crazy.

“Break.” The aura of one of the natives suddenly grew under madness. The strength he could exert was boosted significantly, reaching that of the final realm. His survivability skills also grew.

“Xiu!”

Swordmaster frowned when he saw this. Those two combat formations crumbled too quickly. He did not have the time to save them. Swordmaster immediately acted with the god sword in his hand.

The sword light arced through the sky, striking against those Death Disaster clansmen.

The striking power of Swordmaster’s attack seemed to be slightly weaker than what ‘His Majesty Blood Flame Ji’ could do, though it was more profound, allowing the final outcome to be way more terrifying. Cultivators had the advantage of having profound techniques, much less Swordmaster who had grasped a supreme secret impartation.

“Retreat.”

That black-robed girl who was battling against His Majesty Blood Flame Ji saw the current situation before letting out a sharp-piercing order.

“Hu hu hu~”

All the Death Disaster clansmen transformed into black fog before tunneling deep underground. They were currently escaping. In terms of fleeing ability, the outsiders could hardly compare against those lifeforms within the sky-floating islands, ‘Death Disaster clansmen’. The Death Disaster clansmen could easily teleport and tunnel through the ground here. As for Xue Ying and the others, they could not do so. Unless they were so powerful that they could kill the Death Disaster clansmen within a split second, otherwise, it would be hard to kill any of the Death Disaster clansmen.

“The Death Disaster Clan has retreated.”

“They have left.”

Those natives let out a sigh of relief, albeit the current atmosphere was slightly sorrowful.

Because they lost four comrades in that short instance.

“Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, many thanks for your help. Otherwise, our losses this time would be greater.” His Majesty Blood Flame Ji walked over and thanked him. At the same time, his gaze towards Swordmaster had changed. His subordinates also looked at Swordmaster with slight respect. They were clearly more amiable to Xue Ying and the others.

Previously, they thought that there might not be any unparalleled existences amidst the two seemingly final realm existences.

That was merely a guess!

And now after the battle, it gave His Majesty Blood Flame Ji a new realization that the strength of ‘Paragon Master Bewitching Sword’ far exceeded the strongest expert in the Blood Flame World, ‘His Majesty Blood Flame Ji’. Paragon Master Bewitching Sword should most likely be comparable to unparalleled existences.

It would naturally be best that they befriended experts on this level! That way, they would have a higher chance of acquiring the Spiritual Yin Fruit.

‘Paragon Master Bewitching Sword’ was an unparalleled existence. That Insect Ancestor was also not someone to be trifled with. Instead, it was the white-robed young man Great Paragon Flying Snow whom they understood to be a level-two Cosmos God according to the terminology of Realm Heart Great Land, who should be the weakest in the team of three.

“Since we agreed to move together, we are allies. I’ll naturally act to help everyone. It is just that I might be a tad bit late.” Swordmaster said.

“Why are they taking the risk despite being insufficiently strong?” Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen frowned, “Their strength doesn’t seem to be of help to you, Your Majesty Blood Flame Ji, so why let them send themselves to death?”

“This isn’t sending themselves to death. This is a tempering exercise.”

“Even though we four of us died, Fei Yun Lin was able to succeed in awakening his bloodline, significantly boosting his strength.”

Those natives retorted.

Xue Ying and the other two felt suspicious when they heard that.

They were not that ignorant of natives. After years of exploration by the ‘Summer Wind Ancient Nation’, their understanding of the natives was relatively deep. The natives were scattered across many hidden worlds. Each world represented a clan! The reason why they could awaken their bloodline and become stronger was because of the Chaotic Origin Lifeform bloodline they heard according to legends.

And one of the ways of awakening the bloodline was through life and death tempering!

With the danger of possibly dying during the battles, they would have a higher chance of awakening their bloodlines which would boost their strength tremendously. But many more would fall during such tribulations.

Hence…

Usually, those who entered the sky-floating islands were of a certain standard.

For instance, it was fine if an entire team of powerful natives came since they could still ensure they survived. But for those who were weaker–three natives forming a combat formation could barely reach the final realm strength–it was too dangerous to venture into the sky-floating islands! Cultivators of Realm Heart Great Land had avatars and were not afraid of losing them. But there was no need for natives to do such things in most cases.

“We are here to temper ourselves in life and death battles.” His Majesty Blood Flame Ji briefly spoke, “Since we chose to temper ourselves, we are naturally prepared to die. This time with Paragon Master Bewitching Sword helping out, our degree of safety is much higher. But we have to remind the few of you too! With your strength, Paragon Master Bewitching Sword, you are making the Death Disaster Clan feel threatened. The weaker Death Disaster clansmen would not dare to come. But this is a sky-floating island. This is a place where the Death Disaster Clan dwells. The more powerful members would usually live in the core areas. Even though their intelligence is ordinary, they can inter-communicate.”

“They know our strength now. In the upcoming battles, things would be more dangerous. I don’t think your strength will be able to protect all of us forever, Paragon Master Bewitching Sword.” Blood Flame Ji said, “What we can do is to hurry deeper before they finishes exchanging information and proceed with another planned ambush.”

“Alright, Your Majesty, as the few of you understand this sky-floating island better, you guys lead the way.” Swordmaster said.

“We cannot tarry any further. Let us set off at this moment with a faster speed.” Blood Flame Ji brought the group flying ahead at high speed. Knowing the strength of Xue YIng’s group, they were not worried that they could not catch up.

Xue Ying and the other two remained following closely behind.

“Have you heard what His Majesty said? Bewitching Sword has revealed your strength, which means it is likely for the Death Disaster Clan to send experts who are more powerful the next time.” Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen transmitted.

“We have never thought of sweeping away the Death Disaster Clan. What we can do is to bring away the treasures prior to being pursued by the Death Disaster Clan.” Xue Ying transmitted back with a smile.

“Xue Ying, you are our killing trump card. Perhaps we might have to rely on you the next time.” Swordmaster transmitted.

“We’ll know in a while how good this killing trump card is.” Xue Ying replied.

“Brother Flying Snow, it seems this team of natives feel that you are the weakest! But they do not know that I am the weakest.” Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen chuckled. They felt incredibly relaxed.
