Lord Xue Ying Chapter 964 – The Day before the Eruption

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

In one of the primal chaos lands within the vast primal chaos void, six Destruction Devils were hiding here. The leading commander was ‘General Mo Gu’.

“General Mo Gu, the kings have strict orders for you to hide in an extremely desolate land.” His five subordinates urged him.

“We are already hiding in a primal chaos land, yet this is still not enough?” General Mo Gu who was tall and thin and had a pair of triangular eyes gritted his teeth, “Just because of that cultivator called Dong Bo Xue Ying? What is so frightening about him? Even if several Cosmos Gods came, I could simply void-ify all of you and penetrate through the void to escape, much less a mere Primal Chaos cultivator.”

He had his confidence.

Other than the fact that he had a slightly less refined heart temperament and poorer direct combat skills, his ‘shadowless’ talent was indeed terrifying. Even Cosmos Gods could not say for certain they could destroy the primal chaos void imprisonment. If General Mo Gu were to void-ify, even the ‘nine-petaled flower’ could not stop him from escaping.

The nine-petaled flower was ultimately still within the confines of the void.

Even if several Cosmos Gods worked together, spending time and effort to construct a spatial barrier, General Mo Gu could simply penetrate through it. What could the nine-petaled flower be compared to this?

“General Mo Gu, you have a unique identity. No accidents must happen to you. The kings have strict orders, and we can only abide by them.” The other five kings looked at General Mo Gu.

General Mo Gu gritted his teeth.

Regardless, his instincts prevented him from going against those kings who were so high up.

“Alright alright, let’s hide even deeper. But, when can I go out and have a nice meal again?” General Mo Gu’s eyes were brimming red. His soul desired for more living beings. That time when he devoured Jade Light Empress and the city of living beings, it was one of the most pleasurable moments in his entire life. And even after several dozens of billions of years, he had yet to forget that feeling.

“According to the kings, those cities where Primal Chaos giants existed in have strict security. The death of every Primal Chaos existence would likely irritate the Cosmos Gods even more. It is only due to General Mo Gu’s unique status, and this being your first time here that they allowed you to target a Primal Chaos giant once. If you want to do it again? The kings ordered for General Mo Gu to first reach the peak eighth level combat power.” The other five subordinates explained by the side.

“Peak of the eighth level?”

General Mo Gu muttered to himself.

How was this easy? He had eaten Jade Light Empress and countless other beings, greatly nourishing him and allowing his strength to reach close to that of the eighth level. From now on, it would be hard for him to raise his strength even further.

“Go go go.” General Mo Gu was currently in a luxurious palace. His gaze swept across the entire primal chaos land in front of him through the palace, “Before leaving, let me devour all living beings on this primal chaos land.”

“This is a minor matter.”

The other five did not obstruct him at all.

After all, this was merely a primal chaos land. There were frequently dangerous void creatures invading it and devouring all beings on it. All they had to do was keep their aura and disguise their strengths. Even if a cultivator came and revert the time flow to investigate what happened, they could only see their disguised appearances. It was impossible for them to know that everything had been committed by the Destruction Devils.

Very soon.

The trillion beings on the entire primal chaos land flew up in despair. The void was distorted, and all beings were sucked through the void right into the mouth of General Mo Gu.

After enjoying a sumptuous meal, General Mo Gu and the other five left stealthily. This time, they were finding an even more desolate place to hide.

…

Ever since the previous harvest–the suicide of the two Destruction Devils without being able to capture them alive, the investigation after that by Xue Ying no longer produced any results! Actually, he could guess so. The primal chaos land was ultimately too big, and traveling from a sacred world to another was far. A normal Void God would have to spend 100 billion years if he moved continuously through time-space passages.

For Xue Ying to scour through the entire place? That would be an inexhaustible area.

The Cosmos Gods from the three great sacred worlds understood this too. The moment the Destruction Devils wanted to hide, then there was practically no hope for them of being found. It appeared that Xue Ying’s mission was almost completed in the opinions of the Cosmos Gods.

They let Xue Ying investigate the activities of Destruction Devils…

Not for him to discover every single one of them–that was impossible.

Instead, their previous motive was to affirm if any Destruction Devil ‘kings’ had invaded their land and if the spatial barrier actually obstructed the Destruction Devils from penetrating through it. It was definitely best if Xue Ying could capture one alive so that the Cosmos Gods could interrogate them through their souls! Nevertheless, it was too difficult to capture one alive and search through their soul. Even Cosmos Gods did not have the certainty of doing so.

For instance, Jade Light Master might be able to search through a large area, yet she could not control the soul of a golden-armored Destruction Devil.

Xue Ying’s illusory realm might be formidable, but those Destruction Devils had amazing heart temperament. It was too hard to cause them to lose awareness of themselves. Furthermore, the weaker peak eighth level golden-armored Destruction Devils were moving along with those at the ninth level.

******

Time passed. Xue Ying remained traveling around the world.

This time, he spent an even longer period without finding anything. Xue Ying gradually treated cultivation as his prime motive for traveling, and he no longer harbored any hopes of finding the Destruction Devils.

“Dong Bo, hurry up and return.”

One day.

As Xue Ying was traveling outside in the world, he received the transmission from Forefather Tian Yu. Xue Ying did not follow up with more questions. Instead, he immediately teleported back to the Great Void Heaven Temple.

‘What happened?’ Xue Ying waited until all the hall masters arrived. All 13 hall masters were here. Other than eight hall masters who had their true bodies remain in the Void Castle, the other five had returned to the inner section of Great Void Heaven Temple with their true bodies. None were left outside!

“Either our true body is located in the Void Castle, or that they have to be returned here. What is going on? Forefather, is there something huge happening that requires our true body to return?”

The hall masters had gathered in the palace of Primal Chaos Hall Master since he was their unspoken leader.

…

The hall masters and inner hall elders had all gathered. And in another courtyard within Great Void Heaven Temple, there were three Cosmos Gods here–Forefather Tian Yu, Swordmaster, and Blade Emperor.

“This time, I will have to trouble Blade Emperor, letting Blade Emperor protect my Great Void Heaven Temple.” Forefather Tian Yu spoke with gratitude.

“Even though Ancestor Sorcerer and Luo City Lord have already agreed to help your Great Void Heaven Temple, with me protecting it, it’ll be safer.” Blade Emperor chuckled, “With me and the support from the Great Void Heaven Temple… even if Sacred Master personally came, using the secret treasure refined from the Origin Energy, even if the entire Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World is shattered, none should dare to think of destroying the Great Void Heaven Temple during this period. In the worst case scenario should Sacred Master decide to use all his strength, Devil Mountain Primogenitor, Jade Light Master, Ancestor Sorcerer, and others would similarly act against him too.”

“Mn.” Forefather Tian Yu nodded.

For the sake of this day, the six great holy grounds had prepared for a long time. Even the Myriad Ancient Sacred World was willing to lend a helping hand to them.

“Swordmaster, everything depends on you now.” Blade Emperor looked at the white-haired male by the side, “Everything has been prepared. We have also prepared ourselves mentally to engage in another war, so its best if you do not make any mistake this time.”

Swordmaster chuckled: “I’ve troubled everyone, and do really appreciate that. As for my task… feel rest assured. As long as we delay for a slightly longer period, I will be 100% certain!”

Hearing that he was 100% certain, Blade Emperor could not help but brighten up. He slightly nodded and sighed inwardly.

Indeed, Swordmaster was someone his teacher fancied.

He was amazing.

“Everything will depend on you now.” Forefather Tian Yu laughed, “Right now, all the hall masters, inner hall elders of my Great Void Heaven Temple are here. Either they are in the Void Castle, or they have returned to the Great Void Heaven Palace. Everything has been prepared. You can start at any time.”

“Since everything has been prepared, there is no longer a need to delay any further. Let us begin now.” Swordmaster said.

“Alright.” Blade Emperor and Forefather Tian Yu were both looking forward to seeing that scene.

This was something all six great holy grounds and the Myriad Ancient Sacred World desired to see too.
