The spearpoint drilled through the hide, pierced the muscle, and burrowed deeper into internal organs. A terrifying, devastating essence of laws radiated outward. That Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast still had its bloodthirsty maw wide open, attempting to counterattack even as it was struck! But immediately afterward, its body disintegrated, scattering like grains of sand, vanishing into oblivion.
One Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast had been slain!
“Roar~~” The remaining eight Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts were instantly provoked. Rather than showing fear, they all leapt into the Void Realm at once.
Within the Void Realm.
The eight Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts completely united, transforming into a streak of golden light rushing toward Dongbo Xueying. Yet within the Void Realm, their speed was clearly reduced by a tenth.
“Hmph.” Dongbo Xueying stood firm, gripping his long spear without dodging. A powerful gravitational force radiated outward in all directions, repelling the eight Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts and further slowing their pace. This was mainly because their bodies weren’t large enough, nor heavy enough. The gravitational domain of the Third Heaven Star Intent wasn’t very effective against them.
Previously encountered Void Realm creatures like the Eight-Armed Void Being or the Mountain Guardian were much larger and heavier.
“Whoosh.” Dongbo Xueying moved his feet and instantly launched his spear.
“Roar~” “Roar~~”
The Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts attacked in unison, coming from all directions—high and low, left and right.
Dongbo Xueying still showed no hesitation. His terrifying spear strike was already unleashed, its speed undiminished! It carried the scene of stars collapsing into oblivion. Rotating, the spear pierced into one of the Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts. Its body began to disintegrate. Though their bodies were strong, they couldn’t withstand Dongbo Xueying’s purely devastating secret technique!
Before he could even defend himself, the other seven Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts had already unleashed their deadly attacks. Claws flashed golden light, and gaping maws lunged toward him.
In fact, under such circumstances, most transcendents would prioritize self-defense rather than recklessly kill one opponent first.
Because to kill one meant no time left for defense.
“Crash!” The seven Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts instantly surged past him, and Dongbo Xueying’s figure disintegrated.
At another location a hundred meters away, Dongbo Xueying reappeared, immediately beside another Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast. Without hesitation, he thrust his spear. The sudden appearance of Dongbo Xueying and his sudden attack caught the beast off guard. The spear pierced straight into its mouth, piercing through its head. The terrifying essence of laws spread through its entire body, causing it to instantly disintegrate and perish.
Another kill!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dongbo Xueying’s figure wildly shifted, with multiple images of him appearing around. Yet each was like a mirage, vanishing quickly.
“Thud.” A spear directly pierced into the back of another Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast. It desperately tried to turn and resist, but it was already too late.
“Roar~~” “Roar~~”
The remaining Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts roared furiously, each immediately diving out of the Void Realm and scattering in all directions.
“Trying to escape? You run when you can’t win?” Dongbo Xueying’s expression darkened. He had to eliminate this first batch of opponents quickly. Though they seemed the weakest, each was stronger than General Kumen. They were likely about fifty to sixty percent as strong as Lord Youlan! It had been eighteen years of cultivation that had fully matured Dongbo Xueying’s spear techniques.
Especially his secret techniques—his current Star Collapse Strike was even faster than his previous Peak Penetration. If he fought Lord Youlan again, Youlan wouldn’t even be able to defend against it.
The Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts, when united, were still a serious threat.
“If I had known earlier, I should have feigned weakness. Now I scared them off, and they’ve scattered.” Dongbo Xueying felt some frustration, his mind racing with thoughts. Yet his battle didn’t pause. He immediately entered the Real World, unleashing his gravitational domain, desperately pulling the Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts toward him. At the same time, he used his Void Realm clones to enhance his movement speed. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the nearest Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast.
Thud~~ Instantly felling this beast.
Dongbo Xueying immediately pursued another. However, the distance had clearly increased.
“If I keep chasing them one by one, the distances will only grow greater.” Dongbo Xueying’s mind stirred, and in an instant, a dense array of thirty-six white-robed Dongbo Xueyings appeared in all directions, each wielding a spear and speeding in pursuit. Thick white mist also appeared around them, obscuring visibility, preventing the Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts from spotting their companions.
“Roar~~” The Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts seemed frightened by the multiple Dongbo Xueyings and desperately tried to dodge.
They couldn’t tell which were real and which were fake.
However, what troubled Dongbo Xueying was that his Illusionary Domain had no effect! These Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts could still sense each other through their own essence of laws. In truth, they were merely creatures formed by a formation, not real living beings. His Void Realm Intent couldn’t pull their minds into illusions.
Using his Void Realm clones to confuse them, Dongbo Xueying’s true form silently moved through the Void Realm in a state of “nothingness,” advancing stealthily. His body completely merged with the Void Realm, making him undetectable to the Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts.
Yet they were still clever.
They scattered to the farthest corners of the Blood Arena, keeping maximum distance from each other to force Dongbo Xueying to run back and forth.
…
“Phew.” Finally, Dongbo Xueying drove his spear into the last Monocle Golden-Eyed Beast, pinning it to the Blood Arena. Its head was pierced, and its limbs struggled briefly before it completely disintegrated into nothingness.
“Thankfully, I transformed my body into nothingness and merged with the Void Realm. That was the hardest to detect,” Dongbo Xueying exhaled in relief. “That allowed me to avoid detection by the Monocle Golden-Eyed Beasts and finish them off within a single Sand of Time.”
No wonder they were called assassin techniques.
When stealthily lurking, it was extremely difficult to be discovered. Being fully merged with the Void Realm, even Master Meishan couldn’t detect him. Of course, his current level of stealth wasn’t perfect either. If Master Meishan mastered the “Spatial Divine Heart,” he could still sense him. However, once Dongbo Xueying reached the “Void Realm Divine Heart Realm,” it would be an entirely different story.
Such was the nature of cultivation—there was no invincibility, only who was more skilled.
Dongbo Xueying looked up at the hourglass in midair. The sands of time within had nearly flowed completely.
He had done everything he could, even using Void Realm stealth techniques, barely managing to eliminate the first batch within a single Sand of Time. This was only the easiest batch. There were still two more increasingly difficult waves to come.
“It begins.”
The hourglass finally emptied and flipped over, and the sands of time began to flow again.
On the Blood Arena, six figures began to coalesce—six humanoid beings formed as if from flowing water. Soon they solidified, clad in deep blue armor, their faces masked, each wielding a different weapon. They radiated a powerful, surging water fluctuation, a mighty aura spreading across the entire Blood Arena.
Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed slightly. These six deep-blue figures seemed even stronger than Youlan and the Sword Emperor.
Swish!
In an instant, the six deep-blue figures transformed into six streams of water, their speed surpassing even Dongbo Xueying’s as they surged forward to surround him.
“Crash.” Dongbo Xueying immediately moved, entering the Void Realm.
Yet the six streams of water instantly followed, diving into the Void Realm. Their speed within the Void Realm remained completely unaffected, causing Dongbo Xueying’s heart to sink: “Bad! The Void Realm offers no resistance to them, and their power remains unhindered. This is troublesome.”
Even more troubling was that although the intelligence records described many opponents of the Blood Arena, these “Deep-Blue Beings” were not among them. Dongbo Xueying had no idea how they would fight or what threats they posed. He could only vaguely guess from their movement techniques that they might be related to the essence of water laws.
Gripping his spear, Dongbo Xueying did not retreat, directly facing the six charging Deep-Blue Beings: “If the second batch is this strong, the third will be even more difficult. I must eliminate them within a single Sand of Time… I must feign weakness, let them approach me. Only then can I kill them faster. However, I don’t yet understand their techniques. I must be careful not to fall to these Deep-Blue Beings.”
“Boom.” Still dozens of miles away, the six Deep-Blue Beings, still in their water forms, suddenly launched an attack. From the water extended a long arm, growing dozens of miles in length, swinging a massive weapon directly toward him.
