When Dongbo Xueying initially killed a team of Reincarnators from the Temple of Time and Space, if he had solely relied on the ultimate penetration essence, the outcome might have been uncertain. Even with the combination of ultimate penetration and star essence back then, it had been extremely difficult. However, after mastering the Void Essence, the difficulty of his opponent’s task immediately escalated from ‘Hard’ to ‘Nightmare’! Within the Void, if he wished to kill, he could strike at will, and the opponent had no means of resistance.
“He can strike anytime, catching you completely off guard! Once he attacks, the spear is already before your face!”
“If he doesn’t strike, you can’t even find him!”
“With the combination of two essences, he completely suppresses Nonan.”
“The power isn’t about being the strongest—it’s about how effectively it can be utilized! With the synergy of his two essences, each of his spear strikes is deadly.” Lord Youlan shook his head. “What’s most lethal is that we can’t even locate him unless he attacks, and his spear strikes are so fast that he withdraws immediately after launching them. We can’t even surround him!”
The essence of ultimate penetration was already extremely fast.
How fast was Dongbo Xueying’s spear? He strikes and retracts in an instant! Numerical superiority was utterly useless.
“Could Nonan actually be killed?” General Kumen transmitted mentally.
“Nonan’s strength is enough to dominate an era in the mortal world! He’s not that easy to kill. Dongbo Xueying can only suppress him by combining two essences. But suppression alone doesn’t guarantee a kill—whether he lives or dies is still uncertain!” A slight smirk appeared on Lord Youlan’s lips. “Look, Nonan has started to fight back desperately! No one who survives in the Dark Abyss is ever simple.”
…
“Aaaa~~~” A massive group of evil spirits roared simultaneously. “Dongbo Xueying, we want you dead!!!”
Suddenly, a pair of enormous, eerie eyes glowing green appeared in the sky.
These eyes were the artifact possessed by Nonan!
The green glow from the massive eyes surged, forming two green light channels. Countless evil spirits flew out from the glowing eyes. The remaining evil spirits nearby also rushed toward the giant green eyes.
“What’s going on?” Dongbo Xueying frowned slightly within the Void. “Why are there so many evil spirits suddenly appearing?”
“This… this…”
On the distant Ding Jiu warship, the Xia Clan’s transcendents were all stunned.
Previously, even a hundred evil spirits were difficult to deal with, but now, hundreds surged out instantly. More and more evil spirits were frantically rushing out through those two green eyes. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of evil spirits filled the sky, each exuding a fierce and malevolent aura. Their minds seemed somewhat chaotic, and they howled wildly.
Following this, the tens of thousands of evil spirits were drawn together by an invisible force, rapidly converging toward the center.
Terrifying energies surged.
A colossal evil spirit emerged. This massive spirit was pitch black, with fangs and green glowing eyes. On its head were no fewer than nine black horns. It radiated boundless malevolence, sweeping across the heavens and earth, tearing through the surrounding illusions. Within a ten-mile radius, no white mist illusion could approach.
“So strong.”
Dongbo Xueying in the Void was secretly astonished. “Such a powerful aura—it’s much stronger than before.”
…
“Is this the Ten Thousand Ghost Body? I thought Nonan had only cultivated to the Hundred Ghost Body?” General Kumen was shocked and transmitted mentally.
“He certainly hasn’t cultivated the Ten Thousand Ghost Body. If he had, I would find it hard to defeat him. He has been raising over ten thousand evil spirits, but usually controls only a hundred. Now he’s desperate, using his artifact to forcibly absorb all the evil spirits and barely form the Ten Thousand Ghost Body. Just look at how his power surges uncontrollably. Clearly, he can’t control it. Look at his eyes—his consciousness is already somewhat chaotic. But it’s enough.” Lord Youlan smiled.
Immediately, Lord Youlan transmitted his voice—
“Nonan!”
“I will assist you. I will manipulate the time flow in your surrounding area. However, Dongbo Xueying excels in ultimate penetration, which can forcibly pierce through time and space obstacles. My control over time flow will only have partial effect! It still mostly depends on yourself. Remember, Dongbo Xueying has a fatal weakness.”
The voice of Lord Youlan reached the ears of the Ten Thousand Ghost Body ‘Nonan.’
Nonan also transmitted back, “My Lord, rest assured, I know his fatal weakness. My Death Howl is just the counter for him!”
Suddenly—
A spear appeared from the void behind Nonan. Everything around slowed down, yet the Starstone Flame Cloud Spear still forced its way through. Despite the resistance of time flow, it continued to penetrate, though unavoidably slowed slightly.
Nonan turned his head abruptly—the head rotated independently while his body remained still.
He opened his fanged, gaping maw.
“Roar~~~”
Simultaneously, his two pitch-black, clawed hands struck lightning-fast toward the spear.
“Boom!” The Starstone Flame Cloud Spear pierced directly into the hundred-meter-tall Nonan’s head. His head was two meters tall, and the spear strike caused it to collapse inward. Yet quickly, it healed!
The Starstone Flame Cloud Spear retracted swiftly! However, due to the time flow’s effect, it was still struck by the clawed hand.
“My Death Howl is enough to kill you.” Nonan was full of confidence. “The Void Essence isn’t good at defense, and the Ultimate Penetration Essence is even worse at defense. You don’t even have battle aura protecting your body! Perhaps you have a divine weapon? But even divine weapons are not immune to soul attacks, and their ability to block soul attacks is negligible. Let me see how you defend!”
Transcendent mages usually study souls.
However, normal soul attacks aren’t that strong, and transcendents can usually withstand them with their own souls!
But Nonan was different!
Nonan, first, had condensed his Divine Heart with the third-grade essence ‘Death Essence.’ Using this Death Divine Heart as the core, he unleashed the Death Howl through the Ten Thousand Ghost Body… This was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying soul attack!
Divine weapons and armor are weak against soul attacks.
Transcendent battle aura and magical power, being special forces of transcendents, have better effects.
The best defense is still Essence! Essences are mysterious, and some that specialize in defense can completely block such attacks.
…
Within the Void.
The force from the Ten Thousand Ghost Body’s hands striking the spear was transmitted into the Void, but the impact was immediately drastically reduced. Dongbo Xueying felt only a very weak impact in his right hand gripping the spear’s end. This was still through the spear shaft’s transmission—if there were no shaft, such pure force couldn’t even enter the Void!
“Roar~~” That roar was truly terrifying.
The roar formed visible black ripples in the air.
The howl of the Ten Thousand Ghost Body!
The howl of death!
Even a normal half-god at the peak of their power would likely perish instantly under such a howl.
These black ripples spread from the real world into the Void, and their power immediately diminished by ninety percent. Yet the remaining ten percent still reached Dongbo Xueying’s body, where his protective Star Essence shimmered on his surface!
Over the years…
Although he had constantly studied spear techniques, he hadn’t deliberately cultivated his essence.
Sometimes, unintentional cultivation yields the best results. Just like Dongbo Xueying, who pursued speed in his spear techniques, the more he pursued speed, the faster his Ultimate Penetration essence advanced naturally… and thus, ‘Ultimate Penetration’ improved.
To this day,
Ultimate Penetration, Star Essence, and Void Essence had all reached the peak of the second realm! Mainly, each realm’s breakthrough was extremely difficult, and Dongbo Xueying had remained at the peak for several years.
Cultivating the Star Essence made one seem like a star itself, with power and defense as its strongest aspects, while gravitational force was merely an added benefit.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~” His surface glowed with the Star Essence, as solid and majestic as a star.
These black ripples were completely blocked by the protective essence.
In fact, even outside the Void, with the Star Essence protecting him, facing the ‘Ten Thousand Ghost Body’s Death Howl,’ he would likely only be injured at worst.
If he could withstand it outside,
Within the Void, with the Star Essence, he was completely unharmed!
…
“Is he dead?” The massive Nonan eagerly awaited.
Boom.
Another spear, flowing like fire clouds, struck again, disappointing Nonan.
“He actually survived?” Not only Nonan, but even Lords Youlan and General Kumen were disappointed.
“It must be the Ghost Six Curse Poison. He has suffered from the poison for years, tempering his mind and will, making him more resistant. But I have the Ten Thousand Ghost Body—I can endure far more than you! Ten or eight strikes should definitely kill him.” Nonan quickly regained his confidence. Facing the spear slowed by time flow, he still took every strike. Ultimate Penetration wasn’t just fast—it could also pierce through space, appearing directly inside the head upon manifestation.
Too ruthless!
“Roar~~~”
“Roar~~~”
“Roar~~~”
Terrifying death howls, centered around the profound mystery of the third-grade essence ‘Death Essence’ condensed into the Divine Heart, and based on the Ten Thousand Ghost Body, unleashed death howls each more terrifying than the last.
…
Inside the Ding Jiu warship.
The Xia Clan’s transcendents watched anxiously. The black ripples from the death howls spread outward, and within a hundred-mile radius, everything—including the leaves, soil, and stones on the ground—first blackened and then disintegrated into nothingness.
“This is an attack imbued with Death Essence,” said Mountain Master He. “And it’s targeted at the soul. Even distant ground, soil, and stones are reduced to nothingness, making the soul attack even more terrifying. Although Xueying has the Azure Armor Guard, it isn’t particularly adept at defending against soul attacks.”
“Can Xueying endure? His body is so weak,” Sikong Yang worried.
“Ahh, ahh,” Palace Master Chen was anxious.
The massive Nonan, even after being pierced by Dongbo Xueying ten or eight times, seemed barely affected by the damage. Clearly, the Ten Thousand Ghost Body was extremely durable!
Could Dongbo Xueying endure?
“Xueying, oh Xueying,” Palace Master Chen was anxious, but now he couldn’t even send a message, because Dongbo Xueying was within the Void!
…
Dongbo Xueying’s spear strikes were extremely fast.
One spear after another attacked Nonan from all directions and angles.
Ten strikes, twenty, thirty…
“How is he still holding up?” The massive Nonan’s body was gradually shrinking. Each time he was pierced, his internal energy was consumed.
“This can’t be right! Ultimate Penetration and Void Essence aren’t specialized for defense. He doesn’t even have battle aura. How can he possibly endure?” Lord Youlan was also incredulous.
Fifty, sixty strikes…
“No, no…” Nonan’s body was shrinking faster and faster, and he screamed in terror.
Nonan couldn’t believe it.
He had survived in the Dark Abyss until now, and in this mortal world, he was a being that could dominate an era! He was so powerful, how could he die so easily?
