Chapter 749: Paragon Snow Goddess Battling Style
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
The Rulers, who were leisurely watching the battle, suddenly turned shocked as they saw the scene unfolding below–
Xue Ying had held onto the hands of the silvery-white soldier. The silvery-white soldier struggled–"weng weng weng~"–a terrifying force fluctuated in the surroundings. However, Xue Ying's hands remained unmoving as he held firmly onto the silvery-white soldier.
"Hah!" Xue Ying let out a shout and exerted his strength. He abruptly pulled both on both of the soldier's arms.
"Hong~"
The entire body of that silvery-white soldier exploded back into a stream of water. The stream returned back to the peaceful lake without forming a single ripple on the surface of the lake.
"He just won like this?"
"He actually defeated the water puppet soldier by relying solely on his strength? Just a single move?" Some Rulers had even forgotten to swallow the wine in their mouths. This scene was truly too shocking, because they clearly understood the strength of that water puppet soldier. As far as the records go, only 11 Paragons have been able to defeat this water puppet soldier. How difficult was it to rely solely on strength to destroy it? How frightening must his strength be?
"If we're talking about strength, this brat is probably stronger than me." A long-tailed, black-skinned, frail old man shook his head in dismay.
"Us Rulers aren't as good in body cultivation. We probably can't compare to this brat."
"His strength alone has already reached the Ruler realm. If he has other formidable methods, then he'll be even more amazing. In my opinion, he might threaten the strongest Paragon."
"It is indeed possible for him to threaten the top Paragon–Lie Yang."
The Rulers were making their judgments.
They were Rulers who could enter the Primogenitor Devil Mountain and were the top 39. All had extraordinary means and methods. Even though their bodies might be weaker than Xue Ying's, all of them still looked down on Xue Ying! Just like in the Cultivator Cosmos... Primal Master, Purgatory Ruler, and Pang Yi were all cultivating using the Laws and Profound Mysteries system. Although they could not compare with Xue Ying's current condition in terms of bodily strength, they were much more powerful!
...
"You won." The old protector granny looked at Xue Ying with surprise. "Your strength isn't bad at all."
Xue Ying chuckled. If comparing strength, he could match a newly emerged Religious Leader from the Ancestor Mother Religion. If he could not suppress a water puppet soldier used just for the trail by relying solely on his strength, then this trial would be too difficult.
"Let me ask you. Who do wish to challenge?" The mountain protector asked. "You are qualified to challenge both the second and third-ranked Paragon."
"The third rank Paragon will do." Xue Ying responded. No matter if he challenged the second or third-ranked Paragon, he could only enter the outer layer of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain after defeating them. Since that was the case, why not boost his chances by challenging the third-ranked Paragon instead, as the top two Paragons had records of defeating Rulers, and the third-ranked did not.
"Alright. The third-ranking Paragon will come out very soon." The old protector granny nodded. She looked towards the strange monstrous puppet by her side. The monstrous puppet nodded before leaping off the ground with a boom! He rushed into the sky and headed directly to one of the edges of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain.
******
On top of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain, the white-haired girl was still seated there drinking wine in unease. She had not even spectated the match personally.
"I've spent so much blood and effort before succeeding in gaining entry into the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. Now, a Paragon who could defeat a Ruler pops out from nowhere?" The white-haired girl 'Paragon Snow Goddess' was full of unease.
"Hong!"
The figure of the monstrous puppet landed. It looked at the white-haired girl and said with a rich voice, "Snow Goddess, a Paragon has come to challenge you. Go down and meet him."
The white-haired girl slightly trembled. Her gaze became even more chilly. "In the end... he has still arrived! Don't think it will be easy to defeat me."
"Sou." An old servant rushed over rapidly and informed her, "Master, Dong Bo Xue Ying has won."
The white-haired girl looked at the servant without speaking much, as she understood that this puppet would no longer be her servant if she were defeated. Instead, it would become Xue Ying's servant. Thinking about this, the white-haired girl's eyes grew even frostier. This was a battle she had to win!
"Let's go." The monstrous puppet shouted.
"Go." The white-haired girl stood up. The monstrous puppet and she turned into streams of light and flew towards the entrance of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain.
...
"Mn?" Xue Ying looked up at the two figures flying down towards them. Other than the monstrous puppet, there was another white-haired girl who was emitting a cold aura.
The old protector granny chuckled instead, as she smashed her walking stick on the ground.
"Hong long long~" At that moment, an ancient arena appeared from the ground. The arena was inscribed with a dense amount of patterns. One could see rays of light moving through the veined patterns, causing a huge black array to appear in the surrounding sky. The black array contained many layers of moving parts, completely enveloping the battle platform.
"The rules are simple." The mountain protector old granny said. "The two of you will battle. If a victor cannot be determined after a period, the battle platform's array will generate all kinds of danger. The first to die will be the loser! The one who lives will be the victor. Do the two of you understand?"
The old granny's seemingly muddied eyes swept across Xue Ying and the white-haired girl.
"I understand." Xue Ying nodded. The white-haired girl acknowledged too.
"Very good. Go onto the battle platform then. We will begin." The protector old granny ordered.
The white-haired girl flew bluntly onto the battle platform. Even though there were many layers of arrays surrounding the battle platform, they did not hinder the white-haired girl from entering it. Xue Ying followed closely behind. He looked at his opponent solemnly. Previously, His Highness Jiao Yun Liu and Ruler Official E had given him intelligence reports on the three strongest Paragons within the Primogenitor Devil Mountain.
This one in front of him was called Paragon Snow Goddess. She was tough to deal with and was someone who could even match up against Rulers. Strictly speaking, she should be comparable to 'Monarch Green' when he had yet to break through. Although, she might be slightly weaker as the battles in the Cultivator Cosmos were much more mystical and unpredictable, and the average strength there was higher.
"I've heard that you were able to defeat a Ruler?" The white-haired girl Paragon Snow Goddess' voice reverberated around the battle platform. "Then do you think you can defeat me?"
Her voice had yet to finish reverberating when many ice crystals began condensing on the surface of her body. Every single ice crystal had 12 sides. Under the reflection of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain and the starry sky, a rainbow was reflected. Countless ice crystals produced a huge sculpture, and this white-haired girl had completely turned into a sculpture. Her original height was close to two meters tall, and after the many ice crystals fortified her body, her height became close to three meters.
She stood there, unmoving. Xue Ying was slightly stunned. "What is this? She became a sculpture and remained unmoving after that?"
"Hong." Xue Ying wielded onto his silver spear. He waved his spear in a probing attack.
The spear arced through the sky, and its body moved in quite a huge revolution. A force exerted with the strength of a Ruler was transmitted down the body to the spearhead. "Peng~" It lashed fiercely against that sculpture. That crystallized ice sculpture was directly slapped away, and it smashed against the floating black array in the sky. However, the black array had prevented that ice sculpture from flying out, causing the sculpture to land back onto the battle platform. It rolled for a considerable distance before finally coming to a stop.
Xue Ying was slightly stunned as he watched this scene.
He could attack as he wished?
"Hahaha, this Paragon Snow Goddess truly do not care about her reputation." The Rulers who were watching the battle above the Primogenitor Devil Mountain could not help but laugh out.
"She knows that she will definitely lose to that Dong Bo Xue Ying in terms of offense. She is worried about accidentally losing her life during the battle. Thus, right from the start of the battle, she decided to use all her strength to protect her life instead."
"Her decision is quite logical. Her defense is impeccable, and as long as Dong Bo Xue Ying can't kill her, the battle platform will soon generate all kinds of dangerous situations... and she will survive those dangerous situations! And as long as Dong Bo Xue Ying dies before her, then she will be the victor." Those Rulers were discussing and laughing.
This was indeed a strategy with a higher chance of victory, but it was truly disgraceful. After all, in a fight, was there anyone who would just stand there and receive a beating? Would one not retaliate after being utterly humiliated? However, Xue Ying could not bring himself to go that far.
"Brother Dong Bo."
A figure rushed over from afar. That was none other than His Highness Jiao Yun Liu, and he shouted out, "What is happening? Why aren't you fighting?" He had rushed over immediately upon hearing of the battle.
"It's nothing much. Instead, I had never thought that the third-ranked Paragon within the Primogenitor Devil Mountain would actually do this..." Xue Ying looked towards the crystallized ice sculpture in front of him. He did not know what to say. However, no matter what, he had to try his best to achieve a victory! The final deciding battle in his hometown would be erupting soon. Thus, the stronger he was, the better it would be. He definitely had to make the most of this opportunity to cultivate in the Primogenitor Devil Mountain.
