<h4>Chapter 473: Shackles</h4>
Trantor: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Xue Ying was by his lonesome in the vast world spanning millions of kilometers inside the inner world of his true body. The world was filled with earth, forests, mountains, rivers, deserts, ins, nts…but there was no sign of animal life within.
High up in this world''s sky, there were countless dark droplets of water which condensed to form a huge dark cloud. This was the materialization of Xue Ying''s Great Chaotic True Force.
Hong hong hong~
Underground, deep beneath this vastnd, there was a vast fiery-red force surging and flowing about; it was Xue Ying''s fundamental energy—World Deity energy! At the core of this ocean of energy, countless seals fused together to form a solid but blurry construct, where, after some processing, World Deity energy was condensed into streams of air!
This secret technique is veryplex. Myprehension regarding the World Deity Heart is quite deep, and I was even able to create a full set of secret skills, yet I''m still finding it tough to train in this secret skill. The same underground location contained an enormous illusory image of Xue Ying''s head, which he was thoroughly inspecting at the moment.
As more time passed, the blurriness of that solid image began to clear up as countless seals were finely integrating with each other to form aplete construct.
About three more yearster, the solid image finally cleared uppletely.
It was now a ck spherical body!
Indeed, the countless seals eventually melded into a tiny ck sphere. This sphere seemed ordinary on the surface, but it was exceptionally profound. In fact, this secret technique was much more profound than any of the ordinary World Deity ranked secret techniques. Even sessfully cultivating it to the first step was this difficult.
Hua hua hua—
The sea of fiery-red Deity energy was processed by the ck sphere to form more tiny ck spherical bodies, and these resulting spheres chained together to form shackles!
The long ck shackles were tangled up and continually collided with one another.
Finally, I''ve seeded in training this technique.
The white-robed Xue Ying stood up from under the three for the first time in more than three years, and many ck shackles suddenly flew out from his body. These countless fine shackles were moving unhindered through the sky.
Any opponent bound by these shackles…if they try to struggle free, they will just end up bound even tighter. Xue Ying grabbed onto one of the many surrounding shackles. Its surface was ice-cold, and it was very tough. Under the binding of these shackles, even my true body would probably fail to exert more than half of its true strength.
This mystical secret technique I''ve learned in the 95th level world…since teacher hasn''t named it, I shall temporarily refer to it as World Shackles, Xue Ying decided. If I use this secret technique together with the other secret skill I''ve created, World Prison, my total strength will likely increase by a lot!
This World Shackles technique was simr to how the Great Chaotic True Force operated.
Both were a type of strength formed through processed World Deity energy! While the Great Chaotic True Force focused on brute strength, the World Shackles specialized in binding.
Xue Ying''s self-created skill, World Prison, was originally meant to move World energy by means of a mysterious manner, stacking multiple times in order to forcibly restrain his enemy! It was a manner of activating World energy which he termed World Prison.
But now, I can use the power of the World Shackles to forcibly restrict the enemy instead!
If I operate these World Shackles to disy the World Prison, its strength bes even more formidable!
Xue Yingughed. Only a prison formed using shackles can be called a true prison.
He was vaguely beginning to feel that the White Sand City Lord''s secret technique known as Annihtion White Sand, despite generally being considered to have been created using a World Deity ranked secret technique as a base, was rather some sort of fusion between secret techniques from the Sealed World Pagoda which White Sand only created after spending much effort! It was the only way for it to be this powerful. After all, as soon as the White Sand City Lord used his Annihtion White Sand, most stage three World Deities would only ever escape after suffering heavy injury! As for those who did not flee, they would merely be able to disy a portion of their total strength.
Because he had already created a secret skill beforehand, which he now used inbination with the shackles, Xue Ying only had to spent about three hundred years to improve on his original technique so as to employ the shackles before finally forming this new version of World Prison!
The current iteration of this domain secret skill would stackyers uponyers of extremely dark shackles in an exquisite pattern. Xue Ying estimated that, of stage one World Deities, only experts with the technique to quickly escape the technique might survive. As for those who failed to do so…they would only be able to disy about twenty to thirty percent of their totalbat power.
Unfortunately, my currentbat power is simply too weak. Xue Ying shook his head in dismay.
The World Deity Heart ultimately specialized in domain-rted skills. By fusing together his domain secret skill with the secret technique from the Sealed World Pagoda, he eventually seeded in forming this incredibly powerful, absolute move. But in terms of closebat strength, Xue Ying estimated that he might only have half that of someone who grasped hold of the Splitting Heavens Deity Heart or the Chaotic Deity Heart. Even so, now that he had the World Prison secret skill, he would not be so easily pushed around.
All of the grade one Deity Hearts had their own strong points, and what truly mattered was whether the user could disy them or not!

Within the vast Bloodshed God Pce, in the Crimson Stone Courtyard…
"Disciple Brother Dong Bo." Xue Ying stumbled upon Disciple Sister Gong Feng in the corridor.
"Disciple Sister," Xue Ying replied.
"You''ve entered teacher''s tutge about eight hundred years ago, yet you still haven''t grasped a grade one Deity Heart?" Disciple Sister Gong Feng questioned.
"I keep feeling like there''s something missing," Xue Ying exined.
Gong Feng frowned in response. She was well aware that their teacher, the Bloodshed God Emperor, had clearly stated that Xue Ying would seed within a thousand years. But eight hundred years already passed, and Xue Ying had still not yet grasped a grade one Deity Heart.
"Teacher likes you quite a bit, so you better not disappoint him," she said with the same frown.
"Junior Disciple Brother understands," Xue Ying replied.
"Mn. Go now. Get back to your business," Gong Feng concluded.
Xue Ying left in the direction of the Sealed World Pagoda.
Gong Feng looked at him from afar, visibly displeased. Disciple Brother Dong Bo seems quite diligent in his cultivation. But teacher''s deduction should not be wrong… Perhaps he''s only pretending to be diligent while actually being veryzy?
Hmph! If he''s the kind to bezy in his cultivation just because he became teacher''s disciple, he''s nothing more than a joke. Gong Feng''s eyes were filled with cold intent.
She truly held those with lowbat powers in no regard.
Unless she saw great potential in terms ofbat power in a person, she would simply not care enough to be polite toward them.
Within a hidden pce underneath the region of the Bloodshed God Pce.
There was an enormous scarlet-red furnace nearly fifty thousand kilometers in height, colored by zing mes within. Although the surrounding space had been fortified, it was still starting to distort under the extremely high temperature. It was so zing hot, in fact, that most stage four World Deities would be burned to a crisp in an instant! And right in front of this scarlet-red furnace, a towering figure was sitting cross-legged.
Even seated, this figure was still a few tens of thousands of kilometers tall. He wore crimson robes, and his eyes were fixed on the meing from the scarlet-red furnace.
It must be stated that, if the temperatureing from the furnace was so terrifying, the me within it had to be even worse—it was probably no less hot than the temperatures deep within the Sun Star.
Chi chi~
Within the furnace, a strand of ck energy was shing here and there amidst the me.
"It''s only after cing down this array and depending on the Cosmos Furnace that I can asionally form this strand of power," the Bloodshed God Emperor muttered to himself, his vision locked on that strand of power. "When can I truly grasp hold of it and use it as I wish? What is it that I''m stillcking in terms of ''Destruction?''"
"Bloodshed, you''ve already obtained this Cosmos Furnace and created the arrays," the ck bird on top of the Bloodshed God Emperor''s shoulder cried. "You can clearly see that the furnace is asionally forming that strand of strength. Observe and emte it closely. The Temporal Ind and the Myriad God Pce Head are both likely seeking improvement through different means! But now, Bloodshed, you have seen this strength. Once you break through, you will reach a new realm! You will truly be unparalleled, and you will be able to step down upon all the others!"
For the moment, the Bloodshed God Emperor, the Temporal Ind Lord, and a few others were all at the exact same level.
"Mn." The Bloodshed God Emperor smiled. "I''ve risked my life to get this Cosmos Furnace. It will prove its worth in the future."
"By the way, Bloodshed, I''ve something to remind you of. That disciple Dong Bo Xue Ying you''ve previously taken in has already cultivated for a thousand years," the ck bird began, "but he still hasn''t grasped hold of a grade one Deity Heart!"
