As his ranking continued to rise, Dongbo Xue Ying felt that it was only natural. After all, even though he was ranked 65th at the start, many of the people at the very front had only managed to kill the venomous insects by luck when they teamed up. Those fellows could not possibly always be the one to kill the venomous insects at the very last moment. If he were to always be the one to kill the venomous insects! Perhaps even his teammates would take the initiative to leave!
"The one thousand and nine hundred people who can enter the final Bloodshed God Palace Battle have very small differences in strength. If five, six, or even eight or nine of them work together … only those with a grade one Deity Heart would be able to stop them." Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head. "Furthermore, when a group of them work together, they specialize in different aspects and can even complement each other, making them even more threatening."
"Right now, the only thing I can do is to do my best to survive."
The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was never meant to select the strongest one hundred.
Instead, it was meant to select those who could kill the most venomous insects under the same rules. This was a test of every Deity expert's decision.
Sou.
Dongbo Xue Ying traversed the vast mountain range again and again. As time passed, the rate at which venomous insects were born gradually increased. However, Dongbo Xue Ying continued to ensure his own safety before killing the venomous insects. As a result, his ranking did not rise at all, hovering around the 15th position.
His cautiousness coupled with his comprehension of the Laws of Profound Mysteries allowed Dongbo Xue Ying to continue living in this mountain range despite the deaths and elimination of Deity experts.
"There's really no threat at all." As he traversed the mountain range, the white-haired and white-browed Jiu She waved his hand, condensing a huge golden palm in mid-air. It directly pressed down on a venomous insect that was trying to escape, instantly shattering it. "Originally, I didn't want to expose myself so early in the Calm Sea Prefecture. I wanted to struggle for a while in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle before revealing myself at the most crucial moment. It would be best if I could assassinate someone with a grade one Deity Heart.
"Unfortunately, because of that Dongbo, I was exposed early on. Now, anyone who sees me would avoid me as much as possible." Jiu She muttered to himself. Beneath his white brows, his cold gaze swept across his surroundings. "Furthermore, there's an invisible barrier at the edge of every mountain range that prevents domains from penetrating through."
Grade one Deity Heart …
If he wanted to, he could cover a hundred million miles with a single thought, covering the entire mountain range where the Bloodshed God Palace Battle was taking place.
In that case, they, who grasped a grade one Deity Heart, would be able to wantonly slaughter them! After all, no matter how he tried to flee, he wouldn't be able to escape from the law domain.
However —
His Majesty God Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen. If they wantonly massacred people with grade one Deity Hearts, then the Bloodshed God Palace Battle would be meaningless. For example, Dongbo Xue Ying, Drunk Guest, and some other talented seedlings, in the eyes of His Majesty and the other almighty beings, had much more potential than Jiu She and the others.
"Eh, that's …" Jiu She looked into the distance and saw three young men in starry-blue robes holding spears attacking a poisonous insect seven mountains away.
"Dongbo?" The corner of Jiu She's mouth curled up. "What a coincidence. Even though I've killed over thirty Deity experts in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle, none of them makes me happier than you, Dongbo."
Following that, Jiu She's figure disappeared without a trace.
With his current realm, he was able to conceal himself stealthily. Only when he moved from one mountain to another would the invisible barrier force him to reveal himself. However, as long as he passed through the barrier, he would vanish without a trace.
Stealthily …
Using the mountains to obstruct his line of sight and the Laws of Profound Mysteries to distort his line of sight, Jiu She gradually approached.
…
Being able to survive until now, Dongbo Xue Ying was naturally extremely careful. However, due to the invisible barrier set up by His Majesty, his Mirage Perception and Spatial Perception could only probe the range of one mountain at most. He was unable to penetrate into another mountain. As for further away, he could only rely on his eyes to see. Naturally, he failed to notice Jiu She's approach.
Accompanied by an ear-piercing cry of unwillingness, the poisonous insect shattered and died.
"Another one down." Dongbo Xue Ying raised his head and glanced at the huge blood-colored board in the sky. Previously, he had fallen to the 17th position. After killing this poisonous insect, he rose to the 15th position. This was normal. Clearly, there was a group of people with strength comparable to Dongbo Xue Ying who were still alive and hunting poisonous insects.
"Mn?" Dongbo Xue Ying abruptly turned his head to look.
Far to his left, the edge of the mountain was still empty. However, Dongbo Xue Ying could clearly sense a figure there. It was a white-robed, white-haired, white-browed figure. When he passed through the edge, Jiu She could at most distort his line of sight. However, at Dongbo Xue Ying's level, just distorting his line of sight was impossible to hide under the Laws of Profound Mysteries.
"Jiu She!" Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked. This was the first time he met someone with a grade one Deity Heart.
These people who grasped a grade one Deity Heart were far stronger than them. Thus, they could kill as they wished.
"Die!" Jiu She was incomparably tyrannical. He was clear that he wouldn't be able to hide the moment he entered the edge of the mountain.
With a wave of his hand, a huge golden palm condensed in mid-air.
This golden palm directly pressed down on Dongbo Xue Ying's true body. Even if he hid in the Mirage, it was useless against Jiu She.
"Shua shua shua."
The moment Dongbo Xue Ying discovered Jiu She, he instinctively transformed his body. Three mirage bodies instantly appeared at three different edges of the mountain. When that golden palm pressed down on Dongbo Xue Ying's true body, his true body had already switched with the mirage bodies.
"Break!" Jiu She frowned. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Boom boom boom ~"
Every corner of the mountain felt a terrifying pressure. Even though Dongbo Xue Ying's true body had already switched to a mirage body and was about to pass through the edge, the terrifying pressure had already descended upon him. But at this moment, that terrifying suppression had already descended. It covered every single area … no matter where Xue Ying could move his body, as long as he did not leave the region of the mountain, he would definitely be hit.
… …
"Careful."
"Snow Eagle."
The Deities of the Xia people, Jing Qiu, and the rest watched nervously. Because they could only see with their naked eyes, Jiu She's vision was distorted even when he passed through the edge. Thus, they were unable to discover Jiu She's figure. However, they had been paying attention to Dongbo Xue Ying. Thus, they also noticed the sudden appearance of that huge golden palm! Following that, the entire mountain began to crumble …
"Why would someone who grasps a grade one Deity Heart resort to such a treacherous sneak attack?" The White Sand City Lord was somewhat annoyed. It was one thing to casually kill a random person, but to resort to such a treacherous sneak attack … that was too much!
… …
The terrifying suppression caused every single location within the range of the mountain to be annihilated. Xue Ying's true body could only feel the terrifying energy crazily permeating into his body. It was frantically tearing and tearing at his body, wanting to tear it into pieces! His Time Immemorial Body could feel pain all over his body, but his body was still intact. Clearly, he had withstood the pressure of the domain.
"I didn't die? I withstood it? " Dongbo Xue Ying could not be bothered to think too much. He instantly charged past the edge of the mountain and entered the range of another mountain. Sou sou sou sou … He continued to flee, and in a single breath, he had already traversed tens of mountains.
"Even this didn't kill him?"
Jiu She revealed his true body. His white brows fluttered downwards, and a hint of anger could be seen in his eyes. "At least he escaped fast enough!"
One must know.
In the end, Jiu She had only grasped a grade one Deity Heart, and had yet to open an inner world to become a World Deity! What he displayed was merely a domain formed from the Laws of Profound Mysteries. It was a large-scale attack, so it was naturally weaker against a single target.
Moreover, the Time Immemorial Body excelled in survival. At the third level of the Time Immemorial Body, even a true stage one World Deity would at most be heavily injured by a World Deity domain. Only a serious attack could kill such an opponent. Naturally, Jiu She would find it hard to succeed with just a law domain.
… …
"Was there a need? With a grade one Deity Heart, he would definitely be ranked amongst the top. Was there a need to sneak attack me? " Dongbo Xue Ying was somewhat annoyed. "If not for the fact that I can't reveal my World Deity Heart for now, would I be afraid of you?"
A grade one Deity Heart was indeed a suppressive force against them.
But in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle … everyone descended with their consciousnesses. Even if they died in battle, only their consciousnesses would be expelled. Under such circumstances, the top few would definitely have grasped a grade one Deity Heart. Why bother with people like them who were risking their lives to fight for a higher ranking? Sneak attack?
Forget it. A person who cultivated for six million years only to grasp a grade one Deity Heart is only so-so. Dongbo Xue Ying was very clear that he would soon leave Jiu She in the dust.
… …
The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was getting more and more desperate.
Apart from those who grasped a grade one Deity Heart, the other Deities were fighting with their lives on the line. Moreover, as the rate at which the venomous insects were born increased, the threat posed by the venomous insects increased as well. The rate at which Deities were dying was also increasing.
"More than a thousand and five hundred have already died. There are only three hundred or so left. I reckon that this is the final battle."
"The next battle will be even more interesting."
Many of the spectating World Deities understood what was about to happen.
At the highest point of the Bloodshed God Palace, the Myriad Flower Feast, the Bloodshed God Emperor was seated high above. He smiled and said, "The Bloodshed God Palace Battle has eliminated only three hundred participants. It's about time we give them their Deity weapons."
"Once we give them their Deity weapons, the slaughter will be even faster."
The other powerful existences were all watching the battle from afar.
The Bloodshed God Emperor waved his hand, causing 30 blood-colored streams of light to fly out. They flew directly towards the distant chain of mountains.
