“It’s a trap!”
Dongbo Xueying gripped the Crimson Cloud Divine Spear, manipulating the void to twist and shift, repeatedly teleporting to escape. His heart was filled with shock. “A grand formation has been set up! And with the help of Duan Tianzunzhu?”
“Trying to flee?” From afar, Fuxi Laozu immediately noticed the fastest escapee—Yingshan Xueying. “Yingshan Xueying? Let’s start by eliminating this small fry.”
Fuxi Laozu was well aware.
Frostblade Monarch of the Snowblade Ancient Kingdom had an invincible existence backing him, just as Eagle City Lord of the Myriad Realms Ancient Kingdom had his own invincible patron. At critical moments, these invincible beings would intervene to protect their subordinates.
Thus, killing a powerhouse from an ancient kingdom was incredibly difficult—unless the strike was sudden and swift, or unless it occurred in special locations where even invincible beings couldn’t reach, such as the Heartbound Divine Palace or the deepest regions of the Broken Fang Mountain Range.
“Second Brother, let’s deal with the Flying Snow Divine Emperor of the Southcloud Nation first.” As Fuxi Laozu transmitted his voice, his figure vanished into thin air, reappearing beside Duan Tianzunzhu in an instant.
“Agreed. The Flying Snow Divine Emperor has only just become a Cosmic God. Killing him should be easier, and he only has the Southcloud Monarch backing him!” Duan Tianzunzhu nodded.
Fuxi Guozhu took Duan Tianzunzhu with him.
Whoosh.
They vanished together.
The next moment, they reappeared directly in front of Dongbo Xueying.
Dongbo Xueying was desperately fleeing. Under the suppression of the Heartbound Continent’s laws, even with the Crimson Cloud Divine Spear’s “Crimson Cloud Domain,” each teleportation only covered hundreds of millions of miles. Yet, the grand formation spanned hundreds of billions of miles. Escaping would take time. “Not good.” His pupils constricted as he saw Fuxi Laozu and Duan Tianzunzhu materialize before him.
In terms of strength—
Duan Tianzunzhu was the more formidable combatant! With a peak-tier treasure, he was undeniably a third-tier Cosmic God in power, brutal and overwhelming.
Fuxi Laozu, on the other hand, barely reached third-tier Cosmic God in direct combat. Yet, he could alter his aura and appear anywhere within the Fuxi Kingdom at will—a power far more terrifying than mere teleportation, resembling the abilities of the Stone Sage. He could manifest and vanish at will, unaffected by spatial freezing.
Moreover, even if his body was annihilated in an instant by an invincible being, Fuxi Laozu would simply reappear with a new body.
Unkillable.
Instant manifestation.
With strength barely at the third-tier Cosmic God level, such abilities were beyond what any second-tier Cosmic God could possess. The Heartbound Continent widely believed Fuxi Laozu must have obtained a unique, life-preserving peak-tier treasure.
“Yingshan Xueying, die.” Fuxi Guozhu sneered as a colossal palm descended, unleashing a torrential flood of water that blotted out the sky, crashing toward Dongbo Xueying.
Whoosh.
Dongbo Xueying twisted space again, teleporting hundreds of millions of miles away.
“Annoyingly fast.” Fuxi Guozhu frowned.
“That’s the Crimson Cloud Combat Art!” Duan Tianzunzhu remarked. Fuxi Guozhu grabbed him, and they vanished once more, reappearing to intercept Dongbo Xueying again.
This time, Duan Tianzunzhu hurled a massive mountain peak.
The towering peak plummeted from the heavens.
“Not good!”
Even before the mountain struck, Dongbo Xueying felt the surrounding space-time tremble under its oppressive weight. The invisible pressure bore down on him, making movement sluggish. He struggled to warp space, but it was now as heavy as lead, barely allowing him to shift a single mile. Meanwhile, the colossal mountain—spanning hundreds of millions of miles—descended upon him.
No escape. No dodging.
“Rip.”
Dongbo Xueying split into two.
Two Dongbo Xueyings stood side by side—one wielding the Five-Phase Beads, the other gripping the Crimson Cloud Divine Spear.
“Break!”
The unarmed Dongbo Xueying thrust his hands upward, his fingers expanding into titanic pillars. Five radiant streams coiled around each finger, forming a vast Five-Phase Sealed Space. Having already mastered the Five-Phase Sealing Art, the Five-Phase Beads elevated it to perfection—an undisputed second-tier Cosmic God pinnacle technique.
His palms slammed upward.
Yet the mountain continued its descent. The base of the peak crushed downward, dark fissures spiderwebbing through space before colliding with the Five-Phase Sealed Space, shattering it piece by piece.
Meanwhile, the spear-wielding Dongbo Xueying lashed out. A vortex of void energy spiraled around the spear as it elongated for thousands of miles, striking the mountain’s underside. Though slightly weaker, this was still a top-tier second-tier Cosmic God strike. As the mountain’s momentum faltered from breaking the sealed space, the spear’s deflection dispersed much of the force. The remaining impact was effortlessly absorbed by his perfected Void Body.
“What?!”
Duan Tianzunzhu roared in fury, repeatedly slamming the mountain down.
Yet the two Dongbo Xueyings defended and retreated without a scratch.
“Back in my home Chaos Void, even the Sacred Master—a true Cosmic God at the apex—could only lightly injure my Void Body with the Sacred World’s power. Now, with both clones unleashing second-tier pinnacle strength, combat aftermath is trivial. Not even a scratch.” Dongbo Xueying was utterly relaxed.
The Five-Phase Sealing was domineering, excelling in direct clashes.
The Crimson Cloud Combat Art was weaker in raw power—partly due to his first-tier Cosmic God rank limiting the spear’s potential. Yet even at second-tier, its defensive techniques—evasion, force redirection, spatial warping—made it exceptional for survival.
“Kill me? Dream on.” A cold glint flashed in Dongbo Xueying’s eyes as he summoned the Illusory World through the Demon Emperor Robe, enveloping Duan Tianzunzhu and Fuxi Laozu.
The two adversaries’ expressions darkened as they exchanged glances.
“Impressive, Flying Snow Divine Emperor.” Fuxi Laozu snorted. “We’ll let you go—for now.”
Whoosh. Whoosh.
They vanished.
Dongbo Xueying smirked and resumed his escape.

Fuxi Laozu and Duan Tianzunzhu teleported elsewhere.
“Yingshan Xueying just became a Cosmic God, yet his strength is absurd. And his body refinement is monstrous—even with the formation, I couldn’t harm him.” Duan Tianzunzhu transmitted, watching the white-robed youth rapidly fleeing. Without the formation, he was already a third-tier Cosmic God. With it, his attacks were terrifying enough to threaten second-tier experts.
Yet this newly ascended Yingshan Xueying had taken the blows unscathed.
“We can’t kill him unless we trap him in a Space-Time Orb,” Fuxi Laozu said. “But his master, the Southcloud Monarch, can breach dimensions to rescue him. And with his soul arts harassing us, we can’t even fight at full strength.”
“True.” Duan Tianzunzhu agreed.
The constant assault of the Illusory World was unbearable. Duan Tianzunzhu had to divert thirty percent of his focus to resist, straining his control over his peak treasure.
“Forget Frostblade Monarch—his second-tier pinnacle body refinement makes him unkillable quickly. Delay, and the Snowblade Kingdom’s three old monsters might intervene. But Eagle City Lord… if we’re fast enough, we might finish him.” The two conspired.
—
At the second-tier Cosmic God level—especially for those backed by major factions—killing one was a monumental feat. Even Dongbo Xueying dared participate only because of his Void Body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk hunting in demon-infested lands.
Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.
Dongbo Xueying warped space repeatedly.
He needed to escape the formation’s range. Inside it, he was exposed. Outside, his perfected Void Body could vanish entirely.
Though they couldn’t kill him—
Dongbo Xueying’s greatest fear was imprisonment. Then, he’d have to beg his master for help.
“Hmm?”
As he fled, Dongbo Xueying monitored distant battles.
Frostblade Monarch was also escaping.
Eagle City Lord, however, was in peril.
“Eagle City Lord is cunning and ruthless, but his survival skills are lacking.” Dongbo Xueying saw the danger.
Eagle City Lord belonged to the Annihilation Divine Emperor’s faction among the Myriad Realms Five Ancestors.
Suddenly—
Silence.
A colossal, radiant arm stretched across the sky, gently scooping up Eagle City Lord. The gray-robed elder exhaled in relief.
“Infinite City Lord!” Fuxi Laozu paled, dragging Duan Tianzunzhu into a retreat spanning hundreds of billions of miles.
“It’s him.” Duan Tianzunzhu stared at the arm spanning the heavens. “Eagle City Lord serves Annihilation Divine Emperor. Why would Infinite City Lord save him?”
Among the Myriad Realms Five Ancestors—
The tyrannical Annihilation Divine Emperor, the savage Primal Beast King, the aloof Wanderer…
Yet the most feared was Infinite City Lord, creator of the Ten Sacred Scrolls. The gentlest and most benevolent toward mortals, he was also the most enigmatic. In terms of deterrence, he ranked first among the Five Ancestors.
