Lord Xue Ying

Xue Ying stood within the meditation room. Suddenly, his appearance began changing. Even the shape of his body started transforming. The quality of his aura became different as well––it was as cold as a ten-thousand-year snow. Altering the aura was simple. Reaching the realm of Xue Ying, he could easily alter his soul and aura. Instead, warding off ‘scouting’ techniques was the hard task.

In this world, due to the presence of bloodline, the experts had some unique magical abilities.

Some magical abilities enabled the user the power to determine the true strength of a target! For instance, Housekeeper Yun’s ‘Jade Light God Eye’. His Ancestral God Bloodline originated from one of the three Chaotic Origin Experts that created this world. Naturally, it contained all kinds of mystical effects. If a God Emperor specialized in scouting, his techniques would naturally be more formidable than what Housekeeper Yun could achieve.

Previously, Xue Ying was not fully confident of his skills to ward off all scouting techniques!

But now…

‘Given my attainments in the Dao of Soul, I believe that nobody beneath the Chaotic Origin level could see through my strength.’ Xue Ying thought. After comprehending the third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm technique, his soul once again went through another qualitative transformation. It reached a stage just before the next ‘essence transformation’. If he broke through slightly further, his soul would have completely broken through the boundaries to the next level of life. By then, his soul could fuse with the origin of a world. As long as the world existed, Xue Ying would not die!

Hence, Xue Ying believed in his current abilities to alter his soul and aura. He was confident that nobody could see through the disguise of his soul.

‘And with a sword.’ Xue Ying extended his hand, causing a divine sword to appear. He smiled to himself before slinging the scabbard over his back.

This was his disguise––as a white-robed swordmaster wielding a divine sword.

“Weng.”

Xue Ying’s aura began growing stronger. It climbed all the way until it reached that of a Late Stage God Emperor! His aura was filled with sharpness.

Of course, this was due to how special his soul was. That was how he could easily disguise his aura. If Xue Ying was willing to, he could disguise as a Grand Perfection God Emperor, albeit there was no point!

“Si la.”

Suddenly, a black crack appeared within the meditation room.

Xue Ying took a step before tunneling through it and headed towards the Iron Dragon City.

******

Iron Dragon City.

This was an incredibly huge and luxurious city. Iron Dragon City Master could rank seventh amongst the 30 or so Grand Perfection God Emperors. Naturally, his strength was extremely frightening. One had to know that even the innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform, ‘Hidden Willow Valley Master’, who could protect a group of other innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms as a Grand Perfection God Emperor, was merely ranked 12th.

“Iron Dragon Hall.” Xue Ying turned into a stream of light as he flew through the sky and descended before a towering hall. This residence occupied a vast area. It was even one level bigger than High Mountain City––a total of more than half a million kilometers long!

“Hou~”

The occasional roars could be heard from within.

Xue Ying could discern it the moment he heard this sound. That roaring sound should come from an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform, the ‘Nine-Horned Armored Dragon’. In this Divine Realm, there were only two innate Chaotic Origin ‘Nine-Horned Armored Dragons’. And both of them lived in the Iron Armored Dragon Hall! It could be said that both of them were partners with Iron Dragon City Master. They needed Iron Dragon City Master to protect them! And the cultivation scripture that Iron Dragon City Master created, the <Undying Iron Dragon>, was made more efficient with the help from the Nine-Horned Armored Dragon. All five children of Iron Dragon City Master had been nurtured by him to the God Emperor Realm primarily due to his huge expenditure of treasures. And in this clan of lineage under Iron Dragon City Master, he had actually grown more than a hundred God Emperors! Naturally, those two ‘Nine-Horned Armored Dragons’ were part of the reasons why.

‘The innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms in this world are truly pitiful. There are too many experts around. Even though innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms are good at survival, they would still die once they suffer from the joint attack by numerous experts.’ Xue Ying lamented.

In the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, corpses of innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms were not really useful. That was why the five Great Supremes were too lazy to hunt them down.

But in this world… it was clear that they had a higher skill level.

“May I ask what this God Emperor has come to my Iron Dragon Hall for?” There was a guard who stood right before the hall. When he saw this white-robed male with a divine sword on his back, he immediately went to question him. But once he sensed that cold terrifying aura from the other party, he could not help but feel his heart tightening. As a result, he chose to adopt a more polite position.

“This one is known as Azure Cloud. I am here to visit Iron Dragon City Master.” Xue Ying said.

“My City Master doesn’t meet any visiting guests so easily.” A guard frowned. Even though the aura of this white-robed male was powerful, they were not afraid! After all, their city master was a Grand Perfection God Emperor! They even had a total of eight Late Stage God Emperors. Even though the majority of them had gone on to construct a city, there were still three Late Stage God Emperors living in the residence, including many more Middle and Early Stage God Emperors.

“I hope that you can inform the City Master regardless.” Xue Ying said.

“Alright. Wait here a moment.” In the end, the guard chose to relay the message after considering Xue Ying’s strength.

Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

This was indeed the Iron Dragon Hall! If he merely disguised himself as a Middle Stage God Emperor, the other party might not have sufficient reasons to help him relay this message.

After the time taken to brew a cup of tea, that guard returned and mentioned to Xue Ying: “My Clan’s Crown Prince has invited this God Emperor over. Please come with me.”

“Alright.” Xue Ying immediately followed. Crown Prince? The Iron Dragon City Master had five children, and the strongest amongst them was the Crown Prince. He was also a Late Stage God Emperor! According to the brief introduction by the intelligence report, this Crown Prince from the Iron Dragon Hall was usually the main manager of the Iron Dragon Hall. After all, given the strength of Iron Dragon City Master, he would feel disdain from doing such miscellaneous tasks. He was completely focused on meditation and to attempt and break through to the Chaotic Origin Level.

Any Grand Perfection God Emperor could be said to have a half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body. All of them were standing by the gates of becoming a Chaotic Origin Lifeform! Those who cultivated in their bloodlines would undergo a final awakening before becoming a Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

“This way please.” The guard led Xue Ying, “I advise you not to wander around the place. There are many forbidden areas within my Iron Dragon Hall, and those places forbade visiting guests from entering.”

“Understood.” Xue Ying followed after him.

Within this residence that spanned half a million kilometers, this protector flew at quite a slow pace. Hence, it took Xue Ying quite a while before he reached the garden.

“Crown Prince, God Emperor Azure Cloud is here.” The guard respectfully announced.

Xue Ying looked over.

There was currently a black-robed male seated against a chair. He seemed to be casual. By his side were two absolutely stunning women serving him––they were feeding him wine and fruits.

This black-robed male was relatively handsome. When he saw Xue Ying, he swept his gaze across with slight tyranny. He waved his hand lightly: “Go back. If God Emperor Azure Cloud is fine with it, you can come over and have some wine.”

“Why wouldn’t I be since I get the chance to drink within the Iron Dragon Hall?” Xue Ying sat with a smile.

This black-robed male was also the Crown Prince of Iron Dragon Hall––’Iron Dragon Cloud Mountain’. He was ranked 85th on the God Emperor Ranking List! The reason why he could reach this stage is mainly due to the help from his father, and also some unique treasures! But no matter what, since he could be ranked by the Heaven’s Will Clan at the 85th position, it showed his strength! In addition, this powerful Iron Dragon City was under the command of this Crown Prince. It was normal for his every action to be filled with overbearingness. It was a habit that formed naturally from being in such a high position for a long period of time.

“God Emperor Azure Cloud, a Late Stage God Emperor? I don’t see the name of God Emperor Azure Cloud in the God Emperor Ranking List by Heaven’s Will Clan.” The Crown prince of Iron Dragon Hall chuckled. It was natural that the Iron Dragon Hall had many scouting techniques. He even arranged a Middle Stage God Emperor to check through this God Emperor Azure Cloud before––and he confirmed that this was indeed a Late Stage God Emperor.

“I’ve always been living in seclusion for the past years. Hence, I have never entered the Ranking List.” Xue Ying said.

“Haha, no matter if Brother Azure Cloud is really living in seclusion or that you have some magical abilities that enable you to conceal your aura, I don’t really care.” The Crown Prince of Iron Dragon Hall laughed, “What I care more is why did Brother Azure Cloud come to my place?”

He did not care about the identity of the other party.

Given his strength and his father as a huge backing! He was not afraid of even the three Great Royal Clans.

Even though there were the ‘three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods’ behind the three Great Royal Clans, the people living in the entire Divine Realm were strictly speaking, descendants from the three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods! Hence, as long as one did not poke the beehive and assault the territory of any of the three Great Royal Clans, even when battles happened with the three Great Royal Clans, the Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods never appeared.

But when one killed his way to the territory of the three Great Royal Clans, that would mean challenging the authority of the Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods!

“The reason I am here is for the Dao of Void Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpse.” Xue Ying said, “I wish to purchase this corpse. I wonder how much is the Iron Dragon Hall willing to sell it to me for?”

“Haha…” The eyes of the Crown Prince of Iron Dragon Hall brightened. He laughed, “So Brother Azure Cloud is actually here for the corpse. I believe you should know how difficult it is for one to acquire the corpse of a Dao of Void Chaotic Origin Lifeform! In the entire Divine Realm, there are only a total of three Dao of Void Chaotic Origin Lifeforms. Two are still alive, and the corpse of one is with me. They specialized highly in survival. Hence, the difficulty of killing it is much harder than killing most of the other Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.”

“I understand.” Xue Ying nodded.

This was also the reason why he came after grasping the third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique.
