"It's been a long time since I last cultivated the [Cultivating Heart Secret Technique]. Now that I've opened up the Dao of Slaughter, I'll cultivate it once more." Xue Ying thought. Every time he cultivated the Cultivating Heart Secret Technique, the Time Tribulation, he would have to spend several thousand years on it, and it would also have a significant impact on his heart realm. Usually, he would only cultivate it once after a relatively long period of time. However, he had already cultivated it many times over the course of eight million years.
Now that he had succeeded in the Dao of Slaughter, Dongbo Xue Ying was filled with fighting spirit. He immediately sat down cross-legged and tried again.
Snowflakes landed on Dongbo Xue Ying's body, and they even started to freeze. Gradually, Dongbo Xue Ying turned into a snowman.
Time Calamity.
One life after another.
Without a choice, he could only become one of the main characters and experience a part of their lives.
These lives were either dark and crazy, free and unfettered, cold and evil, or tyrannical and unparalleled … Xue Ying had never experienced so many unfathomable things ever since he started cultivating, but he had experienced them all during the Time Tribulation! Furthermore, the main character's personality was completely different from his own. This warped feeling continued to affect Dongbo Xue Ying.
Even a Paragon would find it hard to stabilize his mental state under the Time Calamity.
"The ninth." Dongbo Xue Ying had already started to experience the life of the ninth main character. In the past, he had never reached the ninth main character.
The ninth main character was very simple. Before the age of 25, he lived the life of an ordinary mortal. He didn't even enter a big city more than a few times. At the age of 25, he awakened his World Deity bloodline and immediately became a Transcendent. In the past, he had too little experience. Just as he became a Transcendent, various organizations tried to rope him in, causing him to be intoxicated by their love. He believed that it was his true love, and was used time and time again. In the end, he was even imprisoned by a Transcendent Demigod Mage as an experimental subject.
It was only in the prison that he came to a realization. He could not believe that the three women he loved the most had lied to him. Under the experiments of the Transcendent Demigod Mage, he was tortured. However, during the torture, another experimental subject in the prison, an extremely ugly woman, spoke to him through the cage. He did not know why, but he fell in love with this ugly woman.
He felt that only this ugly woman was true to him.
Finally, one day.
That ugly woman died during the experiment.
He crumbled.
Insanity.
That day, thunder rumbled in the sky, and everything within five thousand kilometers was in ruins. The Demigod Mage also died.
From then on, a deranged man was born. He had a perverse personality and great strength. When he was a Transcendent, he was already comparable to a Deity. Later on, his strength continued to grow. Deity, stage one World Deity, stage two World Deity … he was a madman. Sometimes, he would fall madly in love with some mortal girl. Other times, he would scheme against some enemies, toying with them until they died.
His personality kept changing.
After becoming a stage four World Deity and transcending to become a powerful existence, he resurrected that ugly woman. After a period of peace, that ugly woman merely became an ordinary Deity. Soon, her lifespan came to an end, and her True Deity Heart dissipated. He became more and more perverse. He established the Dao of Punishment Lightning and became a Paragon. Later on, he became a Ruler.
This period of time was more than 50 billion years.
During this period of time, Dongbo Xue Ying's mental state was constantly changing according to the main character's strange temperament. It was as if he himself had become a madman. Fortunately, he was able to resist all of this. In the last fifty billion years of his life, he had even transcended as an almighty being, a Paragon, and even a Sovereign Lord. This caused Dongbo Xue Ying's mental state to be tempered on a deeper level.
"Boom!"
The Time Tribulation was over.
This time, it was a normal ending. It was the end of cultivation.
The thick layer of snow on the snowman seated at the peak of the mountain gradually fell off, revealing the frozen layer of ice within. The layer of ice began cracking apart with 'pa pa pa' sounds. Xue Ying, who was seated cross-legged within, opened his eyes. His eyes contained a power that would cause others to tremble in fear. The space in front of him had been pierced through, and two cracks had appeared, tearing apart the void.
"Is this the next level of cultivating the heart?" Dongbo Xue Ying muttered softly. At the same time, he looked into his True Deity Heart.
Within his sea of consciousness.
The child-like Dongbo Xue Ying sat cross-legged. His entire body was like colored glass. However, the eyes of this True Deity Heart were very bright, so bright that others would not be able to look at them directly. Around the True Deity Heart, there were also many sharp edges.
In the past, his True Deity Heart was just an ordinary Deity Heart.
But now, his True Deity Heart was like a blade, a sword. Even his spirit and will were showing a corporeal sharpness.
"After mastering the [Refining Heart Secret Art], this is it?" Dongbo Xue Ying stood up. "I have already mastered the three secret arts. Time to head to the Refining Heart Palace."
Sou!
He immediately soared into the sky. Following which, his body seemed illusory and real at the same time. Sou sou sou, he teleported continuously.
…
With the Three Devil Palaces' command medallion, Dongbo Xue Ying once again arrived at the Refining Heart Palace. He entered the palace hall that was covered in snow.
Within this ancient palace hall, the white-robed, white-haired, white-bearded old man appeared once again. He raised his head and looked at Dongbo Xue Ying. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You are here. Have you mastered it?"
"I have." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"Let me see the power of your will." The white-robed, white-haired old man said.
An invisible force burst forth from Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes. It instantly swept across the area before him. With a rumble, it struck the walls of the palace hall, causing them to tremble slightly. This was the [Refining Heart Palace] left behind by the Ancestor Devil. For it to be able to cause the walls to tremble, one could see how powerful it was. Many powerful existences would probably not be able to match up to this.
"Heart like a blade. You have really mastered it. It is one thing for a stage four World Deity to open his Dao, but you have even mastered the [Refining Heart Secret Art]." The white-haired, white-bearded old man sighed. "You are even a soldier of the Army of Destruction."
"Heart like a blade?" Dongbo Xue Ying was puzzled.
"The cultivation of the heart is divided into three levels. Heart like colored glass, heart like a blade, and my heart as the heart of heaven." The white-haired, white-bearded old man said directly.
Dongbo Xue Ying immediately memorized it.
Heart like colored glass, heart like a blade, and my heart as the heart of heaven?
"The third level, my heart as the heart of heaven?" Dongbo Xue Ying could not help but ask.
"Hmph, don't even think about it. Throughout the many epochs of the universe, there has not been a single Ruler who has cultivated the heart to this level. In fact, from what I know, only the Lake Heart Island Master and the Ancestor Devil have reached this level. Once one has cultivated the heart to this level, one can easily kill a Ruler with just his will. " The white-haired, white-bearded old man said, "However, this is very difficult. Throughout the many epochs of the universe, there have been a few who have taken the final step from the Ruler realm. However, only two have reached the third level of the heart. Thus, little fellow from the Army of Destruction, it is best for you to become a Ruler first. Don't bite off more than you can chew."
"One can kill a Ruler with just his will?" Dongbo Xue Ying was speechless.
From this, one could see the transcendent status of the Lake Heart Island Master and the Ancestor Devil in the many epochs of the universe.
"Once you have cultivated the three great secret arts, you can obtain the opportunity left behind by the Ancestor Devil." The white-haired, white-bearded old man waved his hand, causing a huge bubble to appear beside him. With a single step, he entered the bubble, "Follow me."
Dongbo Xue Ying obediently entered the bubble.
"Hua."
The bubble shattered, and the two of them shattered as well. They were directly teleported through the void.
Following which, the space around them changed.
Amidst the primal chaos, there was a very small piece of land. On this land, there was only a single structure – a pagoda!
Dongbo Xue Ying and the white-haired, white-bearded old man appeared at the entrance of the pagoda.
"Enter." The white-haired, white-bearded old man walked into the pagoda. Dongbo Xue Ying followed suit.
