Chapter 763: The Smile of Bloodshed God-Emperor
Translator:Chaos_Editor:Chaos_
That was indeed the case.
The moment a Voidwalker became a Ruler, it was equivalent to reaching the peak Ruler power of other systems. Just with their ability to control the void would allow them to suppress some weaker Rulers!
And now, that simple ancient warship was close to the core of the Primal Pillar and was also within the area of effect of the array. The power of its flying charge had been suppressed to two-thirds its former might. If one said that its original power was far beyond Xue Ying's, now that it was left with two-thirds of its original strength, it was no longer impossible for Xue Ying to obstruct them.
With the Slaughter Domain and the suppression of the void, even though the warship could still fly at high speed, it was too slow as compared to previously.
"What, its flying speed is so slow? The power of this blood wave is that strong?" The Religious Leaders of Ancestor Mother Religion were all in great shock. They did not dare believe that everything was real.
They were wrong.
On the surface, the 'Slaughter Domain' that seemed to be the most dazzling would only produce some concern to the weaker Rulers. Instead, it was the void suppression which could not be perceived that had a power few times that of the Slaughter Domain. Naturally, if Xue Ying's 'Dao of Slaughter' and 'Dao of Ripple' both reached the Ruler realm, the power of his 'Slaughter Domain' would have a qualitative transformation.
"We haven't fought with this Dong Bo Xue Ying in a close combat battle yet we are already moving so slowly. If he decided to display his spear techniques, it should be a simple task for him to hinder the movement of our Wooden Mustache Sacred Vessel."
"Maybe the Dao he broke through in is stronger in terms of domain but weaker in terms of combat."
"Stop the sacred vessel! Proceed with attacking. Kill this avatar of Dong Bo Xue Ying!"
The Ancestor Mother Religion Religious Leaders swiftly made their decision. They did not waste any time because Bloodshed God-Emperor was currently constructing a new Primal Pillar, and they had to eliminate Xue Ying as fast as possible. Otherwise, they could not reach the core and destroy this array.
"Hu~"
After the ancient warship stopped, a dense amount of roots abruptly untangled from its surface. Those roots rushed out towards Xue Ying in all directions. Every single root was filled with life energy. This was akin to many whips lashing at the same time. Its power made even Xue Ying dumbstruck. Fortunately, the layers of array obstructed and reduced the impact of the incoming attack greatly. Adding on the void suppression and the Slaughter Domain, those roots became very weak. Even still, most Rulers could hardly defend against this numerous attack and would be defeated instantaneously.
This was also why Myriad God Palace Head and Temporal Island Lord had to work together with four avatars in other to defend the pillar.
...
"Could he defend against this attack?"
"Since Dong Bo Xue Ying's domain is so formidable, his frontal combat skills might be formidable too."
"He will definitely be able to defend the pillar. WIth the domain suppressing the attack of the Ancestor Mother Religion, even those slightly weaker in combat have hopes of defending it. Furthermore, he has two avatars and Empress Qian He with him."
Primal Master, Pang Yi, Abyss Primogenitor, and the others were watching nervously.
They were hoping for victory.
But they were afraid that Xue Ying was only strong in his domain, and was weak in combat!
...
"Hmph."
Xue Ying with a height of more than 50 million kilometers stood there. The surface of his body released rays of black film light. Every single black film light was striking out with a strange ripple. They targeted at every single incoming root.
Termination Energy!
Even if he did not use any laws and profound mysteries, the current Termination Energy contained enormous power, especially when Xue Ying was displaying the first volume of "Wind Ripple Path". The first volume was relatively simple–Xue Ying could control more than a thousand strand of Termination Energy at the same time during battle. It was only with the third and fourth volume that he could temporarily not manage more than a thousand Termination Energy strands at the same time.
"Dong Bo Xue Ying, let me assist you." Empress Qian He also flew out from the core of the Primal Pillar. She was swiftly flying towards where Xue Ying was.
"Peng peng peng!"
At this point, each black film light ray clashed against the incoming roots. Every single black film light brought a queer ripple that caused the roots to tremble and soften after a single clash.
Looking from afar, the original dense amount of roots had almost instantaneously softened down by the large film light. They had lost their power.
"He actually uprooted this move just like this?" The Religious Leaders were in slight disbelief.
It was okay if he was strong in the domain!
But facing against a wide-range attack, he could release more than a thousand black film light that blocked every single attack head-on?
The most important point was that Xue Ying had not used his spear!
"We can't use a wide-range attack. His black film light is too powerful." The Religious Leaders did not know that the most offensive and destructive attack the Voidwalkers had was the Termination Energy.
"Then we will suppress him directly."
"Attack."
The Religious Leaders were slightly anxious. They felt things were amiss.
...
At this moment, not just Empress Qian He who was rushing over in hopes of assisting Xue Ying or that Black Bird Fifth Uncle Master, even Bloodshed God-Emperor who was constructing the array, Primal Master, Monarch Green, Temporal Island Lord, Myriad God Palace Head and other spectating Rulers were nervously watching. They could feel victory in their grasp! Xue Ying's power had far surpassed their imaginations!
They were all mad with joy!
Even though this was out of expectation, they were looking forward to it! First, Xue Ying's domain contained such terrifying power. Facing such a huge wide-range attack, Xue Ying could easily deal with it as well. His current power might possibly allow him to protect this pillar.
"Hua~"
At the bow of that ancient warship, two of the longest roots were currently arcing through the sky. They tore through the area, and every single region they went through would produce strands of pitch black strange illusions. They were tearing through the layers of array obstacles and were breaking through the void suppression and Slaughter Domain with full force right towards Xue Ying.
"It is here." Monarch Green and the others were nervous.
'Even I will have to rely entirely on the 'Dao of Mountain' to barely defend against this attack.' Monarch Green thought. He was clear how terrifying this attack was.
"Is he able to defend against this suppressive technique?"
All of them were nervously watching.
As long as he could defend this move, even if that warship had other techniques, they were just hard to deal with like the previous wide-range attack. This was the one move with the most tremendous power, and if Xue Ying could defend against it, the threat from other moves would be much lower.
"His spear is out!"
"He finally displays his spear techniques!"
The Rulers were closely observing Xue Ying.
"Such a mystical spear technique. It seems not like a Dao at perfect eternity! It feels more like the fusion of slaughter and ripple, but in terms of the degree of mysticalness, it is extremely profound." Bloodshed God-Emperor and others had very concise judgments. They were able to analyze this.
Indeed.
Just like at the Paragon realm when Monarch Green was able to fight against Rulers, the 'Dao of Ripple' and 'Dao of Slaughter' were both Daos that had yet to reach perfect eternity. But they reached an extreme bottleneck. Under the fusion of both, Xue Ying was able to create the "Wind Ripple Path" with the help of a large number of books from the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. Thus, its degree of mysticalness could compare with that of the Rulers especially when he was utilizing the fourth volume of Wind Ripple Path at this very moment.
"Wind Ripple Path, volume four, Extremity!"
The spear arced through an obscure and mysterious angle. Countless ripples were revolving around the spear and converging right at its head. The spearhead was just like a 'point' that could not be seen.
Xue Ying had also directly termed this strike as 'Extremity'.
"Peng!"
The spearhead pierced and tore through all incoming roots.
The long, tough and ancient root trembled abruptly. The energy within had somehow been wholly dispersed away by the strange ripple. The root soon softened down.
This scene caused the hearts of all Religious Leaders to turn cold.
Comparing power...
Most of the Religious Leaders who specialized in strength could not compare with Xue Ying's! And they were even far worse in terms of the profoundness of the attacks.
"Defeated."
"He is too strong."
"We can't deal with him."
The Religious Leaders all understood this point. The Wooden Mustache Sacred Vessel might have other techniques, but they understood that it was impossible to deal with Xue Ying. What made them feel all the more bitter was–Xue Ying had only used a single avatar from the start of the battle. He had another avatar which did not appear yet!
"Just like Monarch Green, Primal Master, and Purgatory Ruler, he is able to protect a pillar by himself with an avatar." These Religious Leaders felt a chill in their hearts, "He has another avatar which can also persist in protecting another Primal Pillar!"
******
The Ancestor Mother Religion Religious Leaders were feeling unwilling and unreconciled. Comparatively, the cultivators were all genuinely ecstatic. This joy came too sudden that they could not adapt to it.
"An avatar actually resist against their attacks?"
"He directly withstood against it?"
Even Bloodshed God-Emperor was slightly dazed.
Primal Master just laughed out, "Dong Bo Xue Ying's strength is really unfathomable. In terms of power, he might even be beyond mine! Monarch Green, Purgatory, how do the two of you feel?"
"He should be similar to the two of us." Monarch Green added.
"Mn, his frontal combat skills are stronger." Purgatory Ruler mentioned, "Even though he lacks in terms of laws and profound mysteries, his overall strength is indeed at our level."
Over the long years of fighting, everyone had an excellent understanding of each other's power.
The strongest was Bloodshed God-Emperor, and this superiority was undeniable! Especially when he had the help of the Black Bird which boosted his strength even further.
After that were Purgatory Ruler and Monarch Green.
Primal Master and Pang Yi were ranked closer to the back, but since Primal Master had lived for an extended period, he had many techniques. This was the first time Xue Ying revealed his strength, and it was on a similar level with Purgatory Ruler and Monarch Green already.
"Hahaha, no matter what, he is definitely stronger than me. Dong Bo Xue Ying is able to defend a Primal Pillar with a single avatar. He has another which did not come out yet! He can then defend another pillar. Hahaha, by then, we would have succeeded in constructing all 12 Primal Pillars." Myriad God Palace Head was pleased.
"Mn, this Primal Pillar is about to be completed after a while." Bloodshed God-Emperor was thrilled too.
"Finally, we are about to complete constructing all 12 Primal Pillars."
...
The warship of Ancestor Mother Religion struggled and unleashed more than ten attacks, yet they still gave up in the end. They started retreating.
And the cultivators were all very happy. Bloodshed God-Emperor soon finished setting up the Primal Pillar.
"Sou."
The red-robed Xue Ying had directly used the Void Evasive Maneuvre and rapidly appear at where Bloodshed God-Emperor constructed the array.
"Teacher." The red-robed Xue Ying arrived here.
"Xue Ying." Bloodshed God-Emperor had just successfully constructed the array. Seeing his disciple, he felt delighted.
"Let me be responsible for protecting this Primal Pillar." The red-robed Xue Ying said.
"Alright." Bloodshed God-Emperor laughed out too, "I can no longer remain patient anymore too. Let us just finish constructing the last Primal Pillar in one fell swoop! I've waited for far too long, yet never have I thought that today is the day we finally finish constructing all 12 Primal Pillars."
The red-robed Xue Ying descended at the peak of that Primal Pillar.
Bloodshed God-Emperor looked towards his disciple before turning to the surrounding void. His vision tore through an infinite distance before looking at the many planets and countless cultivators on them.
He revealed a grin. The fatigue in his heart dissipated: "This war is ending soon!"
