Chapter 342: The Xia Clan’s Chance of Victory

This was the deepest transformation, with each particle inside undergoing a new structural change, causing drastic alterations throughout the body. Dongbo Xueying’s hair had become tougher than many precious supernatural materials, and his bones could even be used to forge divine artifacts, surpassing the divine bodies of many deities by a vast margin. After all, even after becoming a god and obtaining the invaluable “Myriad Calamity Primordial Scripture” for cultivation, one would only reach Dongbo Xueying’s current level.

From this, one could imagine how terrifying Dongbo Xueying’s body had become.

“Hu.” Whether it was moments or longer, Dongbo Xueying finally opened his eyes.

“This…”

He stared blankly into the distance. On a mountain thousands of miles away on the Red Dust Island, a small centipede was crawling along the stone steps. Each tiny foot and its fine hairs were clearly visible.

Even more astonishing was the cacophony of sounds entering his ears—frequencies high and low, waves of sound colliding with mountainsides, bouncing back, or striking trees and scattering in other directions. The transmission of sound waves was chaotic, each obstacle causing subtle variations.

Countless sound waves.

High and low, some were inaudible to Dongbo Xueying before, such as the “breathing” of plants, yet now he could hear them all.

Furthermore, by analyzing the countless sound waves, Dongbo Xueying could clearly sense the position of every blade of grass and even perceive a tiny pebble thousands of miles away.

“Just by listening, can I detect everything within a thousand-mile radius?” Dongbo Xueying couldn’t believe it. He closed his eyes.

Indeed.

Everything was extraordinarily clear. This was a world of sound waves.

The countless sound waves made the world uniquely vivid, allowing him to perceive every object with clarity.

Would it be tiring to hear so many sound waves at once?

Not at all.

Just as ordinary people can effortlessly scan a crowd with their eyes and hear countless sounds, their minds instinctively filtering everything without the slightest fatigue.

“This must be what it feels like to be a god,” Xiwai and Hongshi watched and spoke. Xiwai continued, “After becoming a god and condensing divine power into a divine body, you’ll discover your transformation. Your Myriad Calamity Primordial Body, though only at the first stage, is far superior to ordinary divine bodies. Hence, your senses are much sharper.”

“Truly amazing,” Dongbo Xueying opened his eyes. “I originally thought I needed to grasp the essence of waves or similar laws to sense sound waves this way. Yet I never expected to achieve this level merely by listening.”

“With cultivation, your life’s hierarchy will continuously strengthen,” Hongshi said. “Naturally, you’ll gain many inexplicable abilities. Take time, for instance. It was extremely difficult to control time while still a supernatural being. But after becoming a god and possessing a divine domain, your perception of time will become increasingly acute, even allowing gradual influence over time itself.”

Hongshi smiled, “As long as you grow stronger, anything is possible.”

“Mm.”

Dongbo Xueying nodded.

Standing on the lake’s surface, though still clad in a white robe, Dongbo Xueying felt a complete transformation. He extended his right hand, slowly opening it, then suddenly clenched it tightly.

“Boom!!!” The air within his palm was instantly compressed, creating a deep, resonant explosion. A mere clench of his fist could easily crush someone like Lord Youlan or even a newly ascended god.

“Too strong, this body is just too strong,” Dongbo Xueying had braced himself, yet he was still stunned after initially mastering the Myriad Calamity Primordial Body.

“The Myriad Calamity Primordial Body is worthy of being called a Dharma Body. Even divine realm beings yearn for such a secret technique,” Hongshi smiled slightly, his charm enough to captivate countless women. Dongbo Xueying couldn’t help but mutter, “You’re just a spirit of an artifact, yet your smile is so charming.” Hongshi continued, “Though only at the most basic first stage, it’s already extraordinary.”

“Why can’t I sense my ancient bloodline anymore?” Dongbo Xueying asked again.

“Your ancient bloodline?” Xiwai beside him was speechless. “Young Dongbo, what do you think a bloodline is?”

“A bloodline?” Dongbo Xueying was taken aback.

“A dormant bloodline, once awakened, reconstructs your body, granting you immense strength and speed, even guiding lightning or influencing space,” Xiwai scoffed. “But now, every particle of your body has transformed. You’ve undergone an earth-shattering change. Have you ever heard of any ancient life form from your Xia Clan’s world, or even a demon from the Dark Abyss, whose body could match even a hundredth of yours?”

“You now possess the strongest bloodline in the history of your Xia Clan’s world!” Hongshi laughed heartily. “Your bloodline far surpasses all ancient bloodlines and even those of high-ranking demons.”

Dongbo Xueying was stunned.

Indeed.

What they said was spot on.

His current body was beyond anything he had heard of during his supernatural phase, far surpassing even new gods, capable of crushing them with a mere gesture. This was truly extraordinary. After all, there were eighteen divine realm techniques in Hongshi Mountain, and although Dongbo Xueying had grasped three essences, he could only enter one. This showed how stringent the entry requirements were.

“I was previously thinking about reaching the third stage of the Star Essence, cultivating the so-called Indestructible Star Body, and channeling power to strengthen my body, but I found it utterly useless,” Dongbo Xueying laughed.

“You’re like someone smearing mud on steel! The Indestructible Star Body? What an arrogant name. A mere body-strengthening technique at the supernatural stage dares to call itself ‘indestructible’?” Hongshi shook his head slightly, filled with disdain.

“It’s normal. In the supernatural realm, aren’t there many who call themselves emperors and sovereigns?” Xiwai added.

Dongbo Xueying smiled as he listened.

His mood was excellent.

He hadn’t expected becoming a guardian disciple would boost his strength so drastically! Even if he stood there wearing divine armor and allowed others to attack him, how many could actually wound him? Dongbo Xueying was well aware that the strength, speed, vision, and hearing of his “Myriad Calamity Primordial Body” were merely natural byproducts. The most terrifying aspects of his body were its survival and defensive capabilities. It was no wonder that among the eighteen divine realm secret techniques, this one was renowned for its life-preserving prowess. Dongbo Xueying couldn’t even imagine how one could kill him.

Of course, it was also because his perspective was too narrow! His opponents were the Witch God and the Great Demon God! He should still remain vigilant.

“Senior masters,” Dongbo Xueying said earnestly, “as a guardian disciple, I am entitled to a divine artifact, the choice of secret techniques, and a treasure from the selection list.”

“I’ve already chosen the secret techniques, and the divine artifact is placed aside. Now, I’m facing the selection of the treasure from the list, and I’m a bit troubled.”

Dongbo Xueying gazed at the two elders before him. “Honored seniors, you must be aware that our Xia Clan’s realm is currently under the looming threat of the Witch God and the Great Demon God. They may soon wage a war to annihilate our Xia Clan and seize our entire world permanently. This would also seal off any outsiders from entering Redstone Mountain, enabling them to claim it for themselves.”

“We are aware of this matter,” Hongshi nodded.

“They are one a ruler of the Material Realm, and the other reportedly a Second Heaven Great Demon God,” Xiwai beside him also spoke. “However, this has no impact on us. To ultimately possess Hongshi Mountain, they would still need to send supernatural beings to undergo the trials.”

Dongbo Xueying smiled bitterly, “It may have no impact on Hongshi Mountain, but for our Xia Clan, it would be a catastrophe.”

“I wish to inquire, how should I select the treasures from this list to maximize our chances of standing against the Witch God and the Great Demon Lord?” Dongbo Xueying asked.

His perspective was limited.

The most powerful ancestors of the Xia Clan were only at the peak of godhood. The defensive strategies established by the Xia Clan, as the Temple of Time and Space had previously stated, had a ninety-nine percent chance of failure! It was only because the Temple of Time and Space left a slight margin that it said ninety-nine percent. According to the previous strength of the Xia Clan, in reality, it was a hundred percent certain failure!

However, Dongbo Xueying’s becoming a guardian disciple had clearly begun to drastically increase the Xia Clan’s chances of victory.

But Dongbo Xueying also needed to make good use of the resources!

The Xia Clan lacked a broad perspective.

But…

Senior Xiwai and Senior Hongshi had a broad perspective!

Both of them had once served mighty existences from the Divine Realm! In terms of insight and foresight, they might even surpass the Witch God and the Great Demon God.

“This kid is truly smart,” Hongshi smiled and shook his head. “He knows to ask us.”
