Chapter 554: Returning
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Destruction Legion was a legion that acted according to the will of the Lake Heart Island master, undertaking campaigns all around and killing everyone who dared to challenged them! During that epoch which they were formed, this legion was unparalleled, causing other superpowers to feel the terror when faced with this legion. Even the weakest soldier would cause the enemies to feel terror and hard to deal with. Every single one of their strength far surpassed that of the enemies, and they were creatures that could destroy the entire world. How could they fight against them?
But why were they so powerful? It's all because of the absolute arts which the Lake Heart Island master created.
Three different absolute arts created respectively for the soldiers, the captains and the commanders. The difficulty of cultivation also increased the higher the grade of absolute art. What soldiers cultivated was the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" which had a lower difficulty.
"This, this is called a cultivation that is of a lower difficulty?" Xue Ying was inwardly speechless.
The "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" was separated into six levels.
World Deities would be training in the first four levels.
True gods would cultivate in the fifth level.
True god Paragons would cultivate the sixth level.
But Xue Ying had discovered the moment he tried cultivating it that cultivating the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" was as hard as cultivating the fourth boundary of "Luminous Sun". One could see thus that the absolute art which the Bloodshed God Emperor had painstakingly obtained could be imparted to his disciple, yet the Lake Heart Island Master had instead imparted in large numbers to the soldiers of the Destruction Legion. Naturally, this Destruction Legion was the most important legion during that cosmos epoch of the Lake Heart Island, and it was also very difficult in joining the legion. Even though soldiers could learn them, this absolute art remained very precious.
"Cultivating the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" requires much external materials. According to logic, much of these materials require to be exchanged via effort." Commander said, "But now that there's no mission, we can directly send some of these materials to you, enough for you to cultivate to the fourth level. As for anything after that, it'll have to be depended on yourself."
"Thank you commander." Xue Ying said with gratitude.
...
And the white-robed Xue Ying which was located in the Crimson Rock Mountain at Xia clan world had already started cultivating the absolute art within a 10,000 times time-accelerated environment. After cultivating for so many years, especially after reaching the fourth boundary realm of the "Luminous Sun" and reaching the seventh level of the "Ten Apocalyptic Fire", it had deepened his realm, and his understanding of the profound mysteries of the law.
Thus, he had merely spent a year of time to fully comprehend the third level of the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body". As for the fourth level, it was too difficult and it had to wait for him to reach the stage four World Deity before he could even complete.
"Pi li pa la!"
The white-robed Xue Ying began training on the Crimson Dust Island.
This absolute art was very unique. Those external materials primarily had been used to condense a protective outer armor! And just evolving the body and improving the strength and speed did not require any external materials.
"Truly painful." Xue Ying could feel his entire body being reconstructed. Even the particles were developing into a time immemorial world each, and were more stable, and could withstand greater impact and erupt with greater strength and speed. Furthermore, the greatest difference between it and the time immemorial body was that the countless particles were much closer to each other. One could say that cultivating this absolute art had increased the density of the particles in Xue Ying's body by ten times.
A terrifying strength was flowing in his body.
The white-robed Xue Ying opened his eyes. He had a feeling that the moment the strength in his body was released, even the Crimson Rock Mountain treasure spirit could not suppress it. This Crimson Dust Island would completely collapse.
"Such a powerful strength. Even in terms of its withstanding ability, it has far surpassed that of the Time Immemorial Body." Xue Ying was startled, "And there is even an armor."
...
Over at the side of the Lake Heart Island historical remain, an hour had not passed when the black-robed Xue Ying had already cultivated the Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body to the third level. The difference between it and the true body was that he could borrow on the external materials provided by the commander to train a protective armor. The protective armor could be fused into the skin layer, and it could also completely be revealed externally. When it was completely revealed externally, the armor would be set rigidly, and his defense would be stronger by an entire level.
Thus, when killing a soldier, the attack would first land on his armor, and after transmitting the power through the armor would it reach the Time Immemorial Body. Naturally, it would be harder to injure him.
"Hong long long~" A surging power rose from within the body.
One aspect was strength coming from the muscles and bones. Another aspect was strength coming from the fourth boundary realm of luminous sun force. These two strengths fusing together and working hand in hand had allowed Xue Ying to reach an even higher stage.
Xue Ying lowered his head, looking at his hands. He lightly clenched his fists.
Hong long~
The palm had a vague world cracking. Its power made the commander, three golden-armored captains and the eight black-armored soldiers feel slightly shocked.
"You originally have an absolute art. It seems to specialize in strength too." The commander praised.
"The previous absolute art of mine can be improved further by relying on my muscle body. But now, it seems that the Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body has further provided aid to it." Xue Ying arose, "Commander, fellow captains and brothers, I still have some matters and require to leave first. Thus, I can only bid farewell now."
"Mn."
"If you brat have nothing to do, you can come accompany us for a chat."
Being a soldier of the Destruction Legion, he had obtained some other things too like a token, communication treasure and many other nondescript items. Borrowing on these items, he could frequently chat with them too.
"Definitely." Xue Ying said.
"Leaving right now?" Commander asked.
"I want to go help Paragon Huo Cheng." Xue Ying said.
The handsome golden-armored teenager sneered from the side, "That bullish chap? You truly want to help him?" In the past, they were too lazy to help him. Other reasons were fake, but if they truly wanted to help, they would have long thrown the avatar of Paragon Huo Cheng out through the spatial maelstrom! But they did not do so because they did not treat Paragon Huo Cheng as their own person.
And Xue Ying and Pang Yi had both joined the Destruction Legion. Clearly, they were considered their people.
...
Very soon, Xue Ying arrived by the cavern outside where Paragon Huo Cheng was shackled.
Being a soldier of the Destruction Legion, he no longer was affected by the array suppression, and could bring away the avatar of Paragon Hou Cheng. As for the avatar which could not escape, he had to suffer from punishments! Who asked him to create such a mess in the past.
"Ah ah ah, you succeeded? Wahahaha, I, Huo Cheng, I Huo Cheng can finally leave!" Paragon Huo Cheng was shouting out excitedly. He was truly too excited. Having been locked for a long long period of time, he had even thought that he could possibly be locked here until the entire epoch entered an apocalypse. That would be truly too sorrowful for him.
And clearly, destiny had given him an opportunity for Xue Ying to arrive here.
"Brother Dong Bo, from now on, you are my brother. Haha, I've said before that I'll definitely give you lots of benefit when we leave. This is my biggest reward in the Lake Heart Island! Originally, I wanted to only inform my teacher about this. Now, you can enjoy it too." Paragon Huo Cheng was so excited that his speech was slightly incoherent.
"Senior Huo Cheng, let us leave first. We can always talk more outside." Xue Ying said.
"Senior? We are brothers!" Paragon Hou Cheng shouted.
Sir commander had shaken his head at seeing this. He then told Xue Ying, "Xue Ying, if you want to leave the Lake Heart Island directly, I can send you out from the Destruction Eden. There is no need to travel past the water layer outside."
"It's fine. I'll go travel to the outer perimeters of the Lake Heart ISland." Xue Ying said. He himself had to bring his wife out also, and could not possibly escape with his father-in-law, while abandoning Jing Qiu within.
"Huo Cheng… er, Brother Huo Cheng, we'll have some slight trouble when we leave. The leader outside is Nine Yang Palace Head." Xue Ying said.
"Nine Yang? Can he even be qualified to be called as trouble?" Paragon Huo Cheng sneered. 100 billion years ago, Paragon Hou Cheng who was already a paragon, did not have many who could be called his opponent in the entire Deity world and Abyss. Other than the rulers, there were only several other paragon experts. Even Xue Ying's senior disciple brother, 'Monarch Gu Zang' had not reached the paragon realm, and could not fight with Paragon Huo Cheng.
Very soon.
"Hu."
Xue Ying rushed out from the spatial maelstrom closest to the outside, entering the icy-cold passage.
"I am finally out." Xue Ying revealed a grin.
...
On an enormous piece of icy, Nine Yang Palace Head who was seated cross-legged over there waiting had opened his eyes, turning in a single direction, "Dong bo Xue Ying, you are out!"
Not just him, even Dried Tree Old Mother and the other three had relied on karma to discover the position of Xue Ying.
"Surround him, don't let him escape this time." Nine Yang Palace Head's eyes were filled with cold light as he ordered.
