Chapter 360 - 142: The Real King’s Blood Essence! The Price of Acting Pretentious
[In the blink of an eye, another year went by. During this year, you focused on mastering various secret techniques of the Heavenly Sword Divine Land while also starting to study the power of the domain, intending to comprehend the domain.]
[Of course, you are well aware that comprehending your own domain is extremely difficult, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed in a short period of time. After all, many King-realm Masters haven’t comprehended their own domain, only grasping the Domain Embryo.]
[To comprehend the domain below the King Realm is even more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Therefore, your goal is to comprehend the Domain Embryo, which, although a little less difficult, is still hard. After all, many quasi-Kings are stuck because of the Domain Embryo, unable to become true kings.]
[Those quasi-Kings, with their long lifespan, have yet to succeed. If you want to comprehend the Domain Embryo in a short time, it’s impossible unless you encounter a miraculous opportunity. However, your goal is just to comprehend the Domain Embryo within a thousand years, not blindly maximizing it.]
[During this year, Ji Bingyue also succeeded in understanding her own Supreme Divine Skills, once again standing on the same level as you and Ye Chen. Although Ji Bingyue’s fighting power is still slightly inferior to you and Ye Chen, she is enough to suppress the same generation’s geniuses of Eastern Desolation.]
[As for Cai Yonglong, he successfully stepped into the Yin-Yang Mirror Great Perfection Tier with the help of an opportunity, preparing to break through the Half-step Life and Death Stage. This level of cultivation has reached the height of Ji Bingyue in your memory.]
[All I can say is that a competitive spirit can really catalyze growth, like desperately catching up with others or not being left behind. Of course, this is also due to Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger. Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried to catch up, he would inevitably be left behind.]
[Now, a year has passed, and the Flaming Fire Secret Realm in the Central Continent is about to open, and the major powers of the Purple Spirit Realm have begun to take action.]
[However, before the opening of the Flaming Fire Secret Realm,
an Eastern Desolation rumor arose due to your disappearance for several years,
claiming that you were far behind Ye Chen and Ji Bingyue, questioning whether you were still on par with the two and whether you could easily suppress other geniuses of Eastern Desolation.]
[In the face of this rumor, although you didn’t take it seriously, someone eventually sought you out.]
[Outside the Flaming Fire Secret Realm, under the watchful eyes of numerous geniuses and Masters, the 7th Son of the Profound Earth Holy Land, currently ranked third among the same-generation Heavenly Sword Divine Land’s geniuses, directly challenged you, wanting to test your strength.]
[As the 7th Son of the Heavenly Sword Divine Land, you naturally wouldn’t avoid the battle, as that would disgrace the Heavenly Sword Divine Land’s reputation. You chose to fight coldly. Admittedly, the 7th Son of the Profound Earth Holy Land is very powerful, having been rumored to have killed Life and Death Realm powerhouses across levels before, but he is still a bit too tender in front of you now.]
[You didn’t hold back at all, forcibly suppressing him. If it weren’t for one of the Profound Earth Holy Land’s Masters stepping in, he would have been severely injured or even killed. In the end, the 7th Son of the Profound Earth Holy Land fell completely silent, choosing to admit defeat but asserting he wouldn’t always lose in the future.]
[At this, you couldn’t help but recall Emperor Huangtian’s words and quoted the classic line, “Enemies who lose to me will never be considered opponents. I’ll give you time to catch up, but I’ll eventually be so far ahead that you won’t see me.”]
[As soon as your words came out, the 7th Son of the Profound Earth Holy Land’s expression stiffened, thinking you were too arrogant, filled with resentment. Yet as the loser, he had no grounds to refute anything.]
[The Profound Earth Holy Land, as well as the numerous onlooking Masters, stared dumbfounded at you, even transmitting a message to the Heavenly Sword Divine Land’s Quasi-Emperor Ancestor who led them. They thought not only did the Heavenly Sword Divine Land have great luck, finding the Sword Profound Body, but they also inherited this style of arrogance, even more so than the Founding Ancestor, which was incredibly outrageous.]
[At this, the Heavenly Sword Divine Land’s Quasi-Emperor Ancestor was quite complacent, believing you had truly brought honor to the Heavenly Sword Divine Land. He loved seeing the envious and jealous expressions of those old fellows.]
[As for Ye Chen, his eyes brightened up, genuinely not expecting you to say such a forced and pretentious phrase. He admired his master’s greatness and felt inspired to say similar such words in the future.]
[Only Cai Yonglong was left speechless, thinking your act of plagiarizing was nothing short of disgraceful. Of course, it was only because he was incapable of saying such words himself that he would have wanted to say them!]
[In the end, this battle made the hearts of the Saints and True Inheritor Disciples of your generation sigh in admiration and unwillingly accept. You, Ye Chen, and Ji Bingyue remain the Three Outstanding Figures of the same generation in Eastern Desolation – no one can shake your position.]
[As for the Heavenly Genius characters from the previous generation, they looked solemn, also somewhat apprehensive of your strength. Though their current cultivation is in the Life and Death Realm and they can easily kill you, it is ultimately just relying on cultivation to suppress you. In a battle of the same cultivation level, they have no confidence in defeating you, and might even be suppressed by you in return.]
[For this trip to the Flaming Fire Secret Realm, cultivations can only be made to stay at Half-step Life and Death Stage. For them, they have no advantage in facing you.]
[This is not only the thought of the previous generation’s genius characters, but also the ordinary Life and Death realm cultivators, who feel even more bitter. They, facing you all, can only be killed in seconds. Those who weren’t suppressed by cultivation level are not capable of killing you, weaker Life and Death realm can be slain by you across levels, which is too miserable.]
