Chapter 580: Refining the Flying Blade
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Xue Ying only wished to cultivate the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" to the fourth level, yet as he studied deeper, he came across many more hard problems. If it were just the 'Substance Deity Heart', then that would be fine, as it was not difficult to deduce and grasp hold of a new deity heart with his current realm. But the fourth level of the Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body was not merely the Substance Deity Heart...
It sought after the pinnacle of Substance, and its usage of the laws of substance was extremely high. Furthermore, the fundamental makeup of 'substance' required the inner world, and the strength of the inner world had an enormous influence on the power of the entire armor.
The black armor on the surface of his body might seem like one, yet it was actually just a durable substance comprised of countless worlds.
'The laws of substance must be properly comprehended over, and my understanding of the profound mysteries of the world still need to be improved further.' If Xue Ying wished to improve his usage of the laws of substance, he could only singed-mindedly experience it over and over again. Yet the improvement of the 'profound mysteries of the world' could be achieved by other methods–refining the True God Weapon Flying Blade.
...
In the Xia Clan World, within the Eden treasure, Crimson Rock Mountain.
The white-clothed Xue Ying was currently seated cross-legged underneath a large tree within the courtyard. There was a flying knife that was sheathed floating in front of him currently. At that moment, his consciousness permeated into it.
That was the True God weapon's interior space of laws, just like the Xia Clan World's 'Realm Heart' room.
A black world. It was seemingly real, yet it also contained a strange and illusory feel.
'Mirage, it can develop into a true world's Mirage.' Xue Ying thought, 'Its usage of the World has already exceeded the natural Law of the World! Refining this Flying Blade will also greatly improve my usage of the 'Law of the World.'
Mirage.
It was originally a portion of the world albeit a reflection of the true world. Yet the possibilities in the Mirage were endless.
But the Mirage within this True God Weapon included all laws of a complete world–the World's cracks, the Shadow World, the True World, etc. were all included. Furthermore, it also had the distinctive illusory feel of the Mirage! This unreal feel enveloped the entire dark world and was also something that made Xue Ying feel unfathomable.
'The world embraces a single grit. Yet within that grit, a world can similarly be contained within.' Xue Ying thought, 'Everybody says that the Temporal Island Master is most skilled in Space-Time and that my teacher is very skilled at 'Shadow'; he is also the most terrifying assassin in the Deity world and Dark Abyss. 'Shadow', is originally only a grade two Deity Heart, yet teacher has already improved the those 'Shadow' techniques beyond the Law of the World.'
As Xue Ying had received the absolute arts "Luminous Sun" and "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body", he understood it clearly.
Comprehending the complete Law of the World would only enable one to become an ordinary True God!
Only when one opened their own Dao, reaching beyond the Law of the World, would one become a Paragon. A regular stage four World Deity would perhaps not understand how extraordinary Paragons were, and Xue Ying had merely understood a little by looking through the descriptions written in the absolute arts he cultivated in.
'I'll take it slowly. I haven't even understood the complete Law of the World, so it's better for me not to think about opening my own Dao.' Xue Ying attentively perceived.
The dark illusory world seemed real and illusory.
Suddenly–
A small light spot appeared in front of Xue Ying's consciousness with a flash before penetrating through!
'Slaughter.' Xue Ying understood then.
The flying blade was originally meant for killing enemies! Within the flying blade True God Weapon, aside from the extraordinary laws of the Mirage, there were some exceedingly terrifying slaughters laws as well. These slaughter laws had similarly exceeded the ordinary Law of the World.
Because of these two points, the flying blade's power was extremely formidable.
Of course, while refining the True God Weapon, 99% of Xue Ying's thoughts were on the 'Profound Mysteries of the World'. Occasionally, he would ponder a little over the 'Slaughter laws' contained within that spot of light to relax.
...
Time was ruthless.
Under a hundred times time-accelerated environment, Xue Ying gradually became accustomed to the seemingly endless period of time. His thoughts were entirely immersed amongst the countless laws and profound mysteries. Even if he were not meticulously cultivating, he would comprehend other laws under the world, understanding a vast deal of profound mysteries in other aspects, thus broadening his mindset. He even had that kind of feeling as if he could understand the entire world.
This was not a misconception, but rather an authentic feeling. Because of the improvement in his understanding towards the Law of the World along with his speed of cultivation, he was sure he could grasp hold of every single law and profound mystery. But understanding all the components of a towering skyscraper did not mean that one would be able to build a tower. By the same principle, comprehending all the laws and profound mysteries did not indicate that one had a complete understanding of the Law of the World. This was the gap that grade one True Meaning Transcendents like Xue Ying and the others wished to transcend beyond, and needed to surpass.
Many grade one True Meaning Transcendents would be able to smoothly cultivate into a stage four World Deity! Yet they would eventually be unable of transcending!
Of course, for those stage four World Deities who had absorbed a significant amount of belief energy, and were plagued with karma, grasping the Karma Deity Heart would be a huge problem. Under the bindings of many karmas, understanding the complete Law of the World was even harder.
'I've successfully refined it.'
In the eighty thousand years after becoming a stage four World Deity, Xue Ying finally refined the True God Weapon flying blade!
Refining it was relatively easy–as long as one had some understanding towards the laws within it, one could use the True God weapon without having to completely grasp it.
"True God Weapon.
The white-clothed Xue Ying stood amidst the clouds. He then unsheathed that flying blade.
The handle of the Flying Blade was black, and the edge of the blade was suffused with a silver-white glow.
It seemed like an ordinary flying knife.
Yet this was actually a True God Weapon that contained two Daos above the Law of the World.
"Xiu."
Xue Ying flung out his right hand, causing the flying blade to disappear without a trace.
'It has disappeared? Master, I could not sense its existence at all!' The treasure spirit Crimson Rock immediately transmitted.
"Shua!"
In the distance, a tiny ray of light suddenly flickered.
As that tiny ray of light suddenly disappeared, Xue Ying looked down at his side–the flying knife had already reappeared sheathed in the scabbard by his side!
'Killing the enemy without a sound–my understanding towards it is now clear. If it were in the hands of its creator, its power would perhaps be much greater.' Xue Ying also understood why all powerful existences longed for a True God Weapon. In addition to increasing their strength, the other benefit was that they could use the weapon as guidance towards comprehending a 'Dao' that was above the Law of the World.
Everybody talked about opening their own Dao, yet within this Flying Blade, there were two types of 'Dao' included.
For those powerful existences who were stuck in a bottleneck without having any idea of how to break through, how could they not long for this? It was typical for Nine Yang Palace Head and the others to crave for it, but the cosmos possessed many unseen rules operating within. Back then, Monarch Mo Xue had gone to those hazardous areas by his own volition, and it was natural that he could be the first to discover the True God Weapon.
Only with his efforts could Jing Qiu get the weapon.
Xue Ying had arduously entered the Destruction Legion, and only then was he qualified in earning that single True God Weapon.
...
Although he had refined the True God Weapon, his understanding towards the profound mysteries of the world was still not enough. Currently, he was still in the midst of comprehending the profound mysteries of Substance, all the way until the 110,000th year since he became a stage four World Deity.
In the 'Vast Water World' of the Three Chieftains Sacred Mountain, within the Eden treasure.
Xue Ying sat with his legs crossed on the vast grassland, trying to cultivate the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body"over and over again. Every single time he did so, he would gain some enlightenment for which he would proceed on with it.
"Hong!" Suddenly a terrifying aura surged forth with Xue Ying at the center. The surrounding grassland had been completely destroyed in that split second, with the distant mountains turning into fine powder. However, this surge of aura had been isolated within a range of one million meters by the treasure spirit. Within this area of one million meters, there were no other creatures. It was a forbidden area, and Xue Ying had cultivated there.
Xue Ying's skin which was exposed, his fingers, muscles, bones, skin, and the flesh on his face faintly trembled. It was an entire world was being created inside; it contained a massive amount of energy. Even the aura emitted was incomparably shocking.
'I've succeeded, I've finally succeeded.' Xue Ying felt joyous from the bottom of his heart. He had finally succeeded, and his body had already begun to evolve from its most fundamental component. Every single particle within his body was a chaotic world in itself, and in each chaotic world, no less than seven black holes were revolving around each other with a terrifying suction force, making the seven black holes maintain a strange equilibrium.
Of the seven black holes, some were big, and some were small, and their suction forces influenced each other, making the density of the entire chaotic world extremely high and thus, maximizing the degree of stability too.
Each particle within Xue Ying's body had already contained endless might! And the particles which formed his hair, flesh, and skin were naturally even more extraordinary!
His body began to transform rapidly. At his current level, it was simple to destroy the starry sky with a snap of his fingers. Because he had cultivated the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body", even if he did not have his armor on, just his body would rival the ninth level of "Time Immemorial Body".
