Throughout history, there have indeed been powerful figures who stood against the demonic forces!
But to dare oppose all the demonic factions of the Heartcontinent and survive long-term? That has never been seen! After all, the stronger one’s power and the higher one’s status, the more attachments and burdens they accumulate. Among the most elite of the Heartcontinent—the invincible existences, the Supreme realm experts, and the rare few Overlords capable of surviving against invincible beings—some are aloof, while others observe the lives and deaths of countless beings with detached calm.
Even among the invincible existences, the “Infinite City Lord,” who cares the most for the weak, prioritizes only order. As long as order remains undisturbed, he coldly watches all unfold. At this level of cultivation, those who still genuinely regard ordinary beings as equals and willingly protect them are exceedingly rare. And among those few, all have their own familial or factional attachments.
As a result, no supreme expert has ever dared to openly challenge all demonic factions—until today, when Dongbo Xueying stepped forward!
He is not without fear.
Among the invincible existences, some are deeply tainted by demonic nature, and he fears exposure of his true identity.
Yet Dongbo Xueying has devised a plan.
His avatar, combined with the covertly carried “Voidfire Lotus,” will serve as the strength of his disguised persona—a power sufficient to intimidate the demonic factions of the Heartcontinent.
As for his true identity, the “Flying Snow Divine Emperor,” he will wield the future-forged Hunyuan weapon in his operations. With it, he can unleash the deeper techniques of the “Hunyuan Seven Strikes,” entirely distinct from those of his disguised self.
“This is only temporary,” Dongbo Xueying mused. “On the Heartcontinent, none have reached the Supreme realm in the path of the soul. If—if my Illusory Realm Dao also attains the Supreme realm, perhaps then I will have a means to deal with these demons.” Why are the demonic factions so brazen? Simply because they cannot be killed. If he could slay them, he could reshape the order of the Heartcontinent.
If he could break free from his shackles and ascend to another level, he might even influence figures like Yuan and City Lord Luo.
Having interacted with City Lord Luo, Dongbo Xueying sensed his compassion for the weak.
“Thinking too far ahead,” he chided himself. “For now, my first step is to reach the Supreme realm in the Void Dao. I must achieve this before my homeland is destroyed.”
…
Deep within the Black Devil Abyss.
The Demonfiend Sect’s three leaders—including the Netherfiend Sect Master—watched the battle unfold through the Heavenview Mirror.
“Hmph.”
Their expressions darkened.
“Brothers,” the Netherfiend Sect Master said, his usual composure gone, “this mysterious Void Dao expert is truly overbearing. His strength surpasses ours entirely. If he disregards all decorum and slaughters every force we dispatch, we will have no recourse.”
Though the Black Devil Abyss ranks highly among the Heartcontinent’s demonic factions, its three leaders are only Overlord-level—none have reached the Supreme realm.
“Even Island Master Zhanba yielded. What can we do? Let us bow our heads and see how the Sacredfire City responds,” said the pale-faced man in green robes.
“Agreed.”
“Let us observe the next moves.”
Among demonic factions, the Sacredfire City reigns supreme.
…
“This Void Dao expert is too arrogant.”
“He opposes us all. Damn him! If he dares reveal his identity, I will make him regret provoking us.”
…
Though the great demonic overlords seethed with fury, their keen judgment allowed them to recognize the terrifying might of the mysterious white-robed figure. With his identity unknown, threatening him was impossible unless they confronted him directly—and who among them had the confidence to do so? Thus, despite Dongbo Xueying’s open declaration, none dared strike at him.
“Hahaha…” Island Master Zhanba, standing opposite Dongbo Xueying, burst into laughter. “Admirable, truly admirable! To oppose all demonic factions—I salute your audacity! While your identity remains hidden, the demons can do nothing. But once exposed… heh, the consequences will be your worst nightmare!”
“Nightmare?” Dongbo Xueying sneered.
Even if exposed, what of it?
His Flying Snow City was an impregnable fortress, impervious even to invincible existences.
Yet two names flashed through his mind—the Xia Emperor and the Undying Netherfiend Emperor.
These two were… exceptional.
The Xia Emperor, renowned as the Heartcontinent’s strongest for countless ages, had mastered both the Void and Flame Daos to the Supreme realm. Wielding a supreme treasure, his power surpassed even other invincible existences. The “Eternal Night Primogenitor” had once fled wounded after a brief clash.
The Undying Netherfiend Emperor, a former apex figure of the Heartcontinent, was shrouded in mystery—notorious for his malevolence and unfathomable strength.
“Best to remain low-key,” Dongbo Xueying thought. “Once my Hunyuan weapon is forged, I will stand firmer. And if I reach the Supreme realm… who can say who will be the Heartcontinent’s strongest?” The number of supreme treasures on the Heartcontinent was few, and those with supreme legacies even fewer. As for those with both a supreme legacy and a matching Hunyuan weapon—Dongbo Xueying wasn’t certain if he was unique.
Even if not, supreme legacies were rare, and matching weapons rarer still.
The Void Dao held one immense advantage over other paths—avatars.
Among all Daos, the Void Dao was the most closely linked to higher realms. Thus, even without transcending his shackles, a practitioner could traverse other source worlds, absorb Hunyuan energy to refine his soul, and cultivate avatars.
At the same level, a Void Dao expert’s combined avatars naturally surpassed practitioners of other paths.
Of course, Dongbo Xueying’s knowledge was limited to Daos where others had already reached the Supreme realm. As for soul-oriented paths—such as the Illusory Realm, Heart Manifestation, or Soulfire—none had yet produced a Supreme expert. The true power of a soul-path Supreme remained a mystery.
…
“Whoosh.”
With a derisive smirk, Island Master Zhanba’s form blurred, the void distorting as he vanished.
Such was his escape art.
Slaying a Supreme expert was nigh impossible.
“My public declaration should at least give the demonic factions pause. If it reduces their slaughter, it is a success.” Dongbo Xueying prepared to depart.
Hum.
A figure materialized in the void.
Handsome, clad in a black cloak embroidered with gold, he gripped a scepter radiating a hazy golden light. An overwhelming pressure filled the heavens, enveloping Dongbo Xueying.
“The Eternal Night Primogenitor!”
“It’s him!”
“Why has he appeared?”
Observers across the Heartcontinent gasped.
The Eternal Night Primogenitor fixed Dongbo Xueying with a cold stare. “You killed the Black Monarch, didn’t you?”
“The Black Monarch?” Dongbo Xueying remained unruffled, smiling faintly. “Even with my strength, slaying him would be no certainty. To do so before you could intervene? Even less likely.”
“On the Heartcontinent, the Void Dao experts capable of killing the Black Monarch can be counted on one hand,” the Primogenitor said icily.
“Does that prove it was me?” Dongbo Xueying countered.
“You care too much for those ants. Last time, you intervened to save them, forcing me to intercept you—though your avatar chose suicide to escape.” The Primogenitor’s voice was frigid. “Among the handful with such power, only you show such concern for the weak. The odds are nine in ten that you are the killer. Tell me your name.”
Dongbo Xueying frowned.
Admitting it was unwise—the Eternal Night Primogenitor was a formidable foe.
“I am Tianxin—the Tianxin Daoist,” he replied with a smile.
“Tianxin Daoist?” The Primogenitor’s brow furrowed. No such name existed among the apex experts. Was this a newly risen power, or a fabricated alias?
“My heart is the heart of heaven—the Tianxin Daoist,” Dongbo Xueying said.
“Humph. No matter how many false names you conjure, you are the Black Monarch’s killer.” The Primogenitor’s scepter blazed, its radiance instantly engulfing Dongbo Xueying, binding him with immense resistance.
“Eternal Night Primogenitor, you cannot stop me.”
The voice echoed across the heavens.
Rip.
A black fissure flashed—Dongbo Xueying had already forced his way through. With the strength of his second-level Hunyuan-refined body and the Voidfire Lotus’s power augmenting him, the Primogenitor’s wide-range suppression could not hold him.
“Escaped?” The Primogenitor watched the fissure vanish, his expression grim.
The Great Rift Teleportation Art.
There was no pursuit.
At this level, even invincible existences found slaying their peers near impossible.
…
Thus, the name “Tianxin Daoist” spread across the Heartcontinent.
Factions debated this bold figure who dared threaten all demonic forces and effortlessly escaped the Eternal Night Primogenitor’s grasp. His strength was universally acknowledged as second only to the invincible existences, surpassing even ordinary Supreme experts.
Meanwhile, Dongbo Xueying ignored the outside clamor. Secluded in Flying Snow City, he immersed himself in cultivation, refining the fourth lethal strike of his nascent “Flying Snow Combat Art.”
