Boom boom boom ~ ~
Both of them fought even more ferociously. Dongbo Xue Ying occasionally managed to stab Wan Jiu with his spear, but those were only his mirage bodies. Clearly, Wan Jiu had purposely allowed Dongbo Xue Ying to stab him.
"Pu."
The spear was like a venomous snake, retracting after a stab.
"This …"
The two Wan Jiu clones stopped immediately, and one of them dissipated.
Only Wan Jiu was left standing in mid-air. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at Dongbo Xue Ying. "How, how could you …"
"Your saber art is not perfect enough, right? My luck is better than yours," Dongbo Xue Ying said.
Wan Jiu's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Not perfect enough? Better luck?
That's right.
After all, he had yet to grasp the true World Deity Heart. Although his saber art was said to be a world of its own, it had yet to reach this stage.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more." Wan Jiu was frustrated. If he could defeat Dongbo Xue Ying one on one, that would be the best outcome. Although he would attract the attention of some powerful beings, this battle was probably just a stepping stone for Dongbo Xue Ying.
Then, Wan Jiu's body dissipated.
His consciousness returned to him.
When the other two companions saw this scene, they shook their heads inwardly.
"Brother Wan Jiu thought that he could win. Unfortunately, he almost lost."
"Dongbo Xue Ying's four bodies gave it his all, and he finally had a chance to win." The two companions left immediately. They were only here to abide by the oath.
Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head and smiled as he watched the two leave.
"This Wan Jiu is really powerful … But he doesn't know that I have already grasped the complete World Deity Heart, and have created many secret skills based on the World Deity Heart. My understanding of the World Deity Heart is many times more profound than his." Xue Ying sighed inwardly, "I can see through the flaws of his so-called World of Blade technique with a single glance!"
It's just that I've always been looking for an opportunity, a reasonable opportunity to break this blade technique. Xue Ying sighed inwardly.
…
"Let the mirage body go all out and attack head-on to destroy the opponent's saber technique. Then, when there's an opportunity, stab with your spear." The Lord of White Sand City raised his head to look at the illusionary image of the majestic mountains in the sky. "We really won."
"Dongbo Xue Ying might have discovered some flaws in his opponent's saber technique during the life-and-death battle. If you can win, you will be able to prove your strength. "The Ink Cloud City Lord praised.
*****
Dongbo Xue Ying would not admit defeat so easily. Wan Jiu wanted to shine even brighter, he wanted a powerful being to take him in as a disciple. Dongbo Xue Ying also had his own goals. He wanted His Majesty or the Third Ancestor to accept him as a disciple! Naturally, he could not be defeated so easily.
Hu.
Dongbo Xue Ying walked through the mountain range. With a single step, he activated Extreme Travel and killed a venomous bug.
With each kill, Dongbo Xue Ying's ranking rose. He even rose to the ninth rank, and occasionally, he would even reach the eighth rank. However, the other surviving Deity experts were also very powerful. Even so, Dongbo Xue Ying was still hovering around the eighth to tenth rank.
The number of Deity experts in the mountain range decreased. Sixty, fifty …
"Eh?" Dongbo Xue Ying's expression changed.
This was because he could sense a figure stealthily sneaking past the barrier of the distant mountain. Even though he had turned his line of sight, Xue Ying could still clearly see the other party's appearance with his Mirage Domain. White robes, white hair, and fluttering white eyebrows — it was Jiu She.
"It's you again!" Without hesitation, Dongbo Xue Ying switched to his mirage body and fled.
"Suppress!"
"Shatter!"
As Jiu She chased after him, he also used his domain-type technique.
But the Time Immemorial Body's survivability was too powerful. Even though it was only at the third level … it was not something Jiu She could crush to death with a single domain-type technique.
Sou sou sou!
Dongbo Xue Ying frantically fled. He had never thought of displaying his grade one Deity Heart in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle. The moment he did so, the enemy of his master, Sacred Master Crimson Dust, would likely disregard his reputation and attack him. After all, grasping a grade one Deity Heart in just 2,300 years … this was the talent of a grade one True Meaning Transcendent. Thus, he would rather die than expose himself.
By the time he became a stage two World Deity, there wouldn't be much of a problem. At that time, only Blood Blade, the Temporal Island Lord, and a few others could kill him without the help of an oath. Existences at such a level would disdain to act.
By the time he became a stage three World Deity, even God Emperor and the others wouldn't be able to kill a Lord of a material world.
Thus, he needed to be patient. Only with sufficient patience would he be able to shine brilliantly in the future.
"Jiu She, is there really a need for you to chase after me like this?" Dongbo Xue Ying was speechless. He continued to pass through mountain after mountain.
Shua.
Just as he passed through the barrier of a mountain, a white-haired fat old man appeared.
Xiu.
A dazzling ray of light streaked across Dongbo Xue Ying's body.
This is a grade one Deity Heart … Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes widened as he stared at the white-haired fat old man. This fat old man was the champion of the Nine Rigid Manor's ranking battle, Monarch Yue. It was said that his original title was Emperor Yue, but in the Deity World, those who dared to call themselves Emperors … were all extraordinary existences. Thus, he immediately changed his title to Monarch Yue. Monarch was more reserved than Emperors.
"I haven't been in a rush to use it, but now it's time to do so. I've chosen you, Dongbo." The fat old man smiled. Clearly, if he wanted to kill someone, he would kill the one who attracted the attention of the powerful existences the most.
Dongbo Xue Ying's body dissipated, and his consciousness returned.
Sou.
Jiu She chased after him. Looking at the fat old man, he sneered, "I really didn't expect you to also have a grade one Deity Heart."
"If not for Dongbo, you would have probably been hiding your strength in the Calm Sea Prefecture." With a flip of his hand, the fat old man took out a blood-colored dagger and smiled sinisterly. "How about it? Why don't we have a spar?"
"Then let's see how strong you are." Jiu She's eyes were filled with killing intent.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying's consciousness returned.
By the time he returned to the outermost region of the Myriad Flower Feast, almost all of the thousand-plus Deities had returned. Only thirty or so Deities were still fighting.
"Brother Dongbo, I didn't expect that you would actually be ambushed by someone with a grade one Deity Heart." Seventh Mei Yu, who was standing not too far away, laughed.
"That's right. That Lord Yue is truly sinister. He should have long since discovered that Jiu She was chasing after me, so he waited for a long time … and ambushed me the moment I passed through the mountain barrier." Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head helplessly. He was too young, and he had attracted the attention of many powerful existences. Many of them wanted to kill him in order to attract their attention.
They had only exchanged a few words.
Because they were both from the Calm Sea Prefecture, Jiu She, who was seated very close to him, also regained consciousness.
"Jiu She, you actually lost?" Dongbo Xue Ying intentionally said.
"Hmph." Jiu She's face turned ashen.
He had fought against Lord Yue one-on-one, and yet he had lost.
He had a Boundless Deity Heart, so logically speaking, the chances of him losing should be very low. However, in a battle, he still had to use it.
"What a sinister old man." Jiu She fiercely glared at the Deity experts still fighting amidst the mountain range. Lord Yue was one of them.
Suddenly —
A World Deity guard of the Bloodshed God Palace walked over from afar, immediately attracting the attention of a large group of Deity experts. This was because a World Deity guard walking over at this moment would usually come to present a token. A powerful existence would take the initiative to bestow a token to a Deity expert, and it represented that the powerful existence was willing to accept a disciple! This was taking the initiative to accept a disciple, which was extremely rare.
The number of Myriad Flower Feasts that could make a powerful existence take the initiative to accept a disciple could be counted on one's fingers.
"Who's it for?"
"He's walking over here, towards me."
Many Deity experts were nervously watching. They were all longing for a disciple, and even those ranked outside the top hundred were longing for one! After all, even if one was ranked near the bottom, if a powerful existence took the initiative to accept a disciple, one would still be able to become a disciple. Take Dongbo Xue Ying for example. He had only cultivated for two thousand years, and the White Sand City Lord and the others had already said that as long as one participated in the Bloodshed God Palace Battle, even if one wasn't ranked within the top hundred, one would definitely be chosen as a disciple.
"Dongbo." The dark-skinned World Deity guard smiled and handed a golden token to Dongbo Xue Ying.
