Chapter 372: The Abyssal Sovereign

“Failed?” The Golden-Robed Sorcerer God, disregarding his own unease, instantly morphed into a hazy silhouette and darted swiftly toward the distant stronghold.

“Escaping so decisively,” Dongbo Xueying sneered slightly, yet his heart gradually filled with joy.

After inviting a peerless transcendent from the Divine Realm to become a god, he had defeated and driven them away.

The divine avatar of the Witch God was also vanquished by him.

“What other means do they have left? Perhaps this war, our Xia Clan might actually win,” Dongbo Xueying’s confidence in victory steadily increased.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, Dongbo Xueying transformed into a streak of light and charged toward that black fortress.

Inside the hall of the Star Tower.

A group of Xia Clan transcendents couldn’t resist being drawn into the spectacle, their gazes locked onto the scene with palpable tension. Especially when the Golden-Robed Witch God unleashed his assaults—his techniques were so profoundly esoteric that they defied comprehension. The onlookers couldn’t even grasp the nature of the attacks, witnessing only the Witch God repeatedly plunging his hands into Dongbo Xueying’s chest! The sight left them so breathless with dread that they scarcely dared to exhale.

Yet in the end, the Witch God fled, while Dongbo Xueying emerged unharmed.

“The Divine Avatar of the Witch God has already been defeated and fled,” Dongbo Xueying’s voice resonated through the grand hall. “The Great Demon God’s avatar should pose no threat to me either. If we destroy that fortress and sever the stabilized spatial passage, the Witch God and the Great Demon God will no longer be able to summon reinforcements… With their two divine avatars trapped within the Star Tower, it’s only a matter of time before we eradicate them completely.”

“Can we win?”

“Are we going to win?”

Palace Master Chen and the others felt their blood boiling with fervor. They had initially believed the Xia Clan stood no chance against the war machine legions of the Witch God and the Great Demon God.

But the reality was…

With Dongbo Xueying’s first move, he swept everything aside! Don’t even think about involving demi-gods; even the divine avatar with the ultimate power of demi-gods couldn’t threaten Dongbo Xueying. As for ordinary demi-gods, no matter how many came, they would be crushed by the power of the Star Tower world alone. After all, the Star Tower world was capable of greatly weakening the power of Elder Youping and divine warships from the Divine Realm.

Demi-gods? They would be directly crushed into oblivion by the immense power of heaven and earth.

With the most menacing Elder Youping vanquished and the Witch God’s “Hexcraft” rendered powerless, Dongbo Xueying single-handedly ignited the Xia Clan’s hope for triumph.

“As long as we win, with Xueying’s talent, he might even be able to refine the Heart of the World,” Sikong Yang chuckled. “Then, when our Xia Clan world is refined, it will be truly absolutely safe. No demon will dare to invade, and no race from other worlds will dare to attack us. Even divine avatars will no longer dare to descend. Our Xia Clan will truly become powerful and prosperous.”

Palace Master Chen’s eyes also showed anticipation: “That will be a new era.”

“Master Sikong,” the nearby Bu Cheng playfully teased, “you were the one who forced Dongbo Xueying to cultivate the true essence of water and fire.”

“Please, please don’t mention it anymore,” Sikong Yang quickly replied.

“Hahaha…”

The transcendent beings of the Xia Clan rarely laughed so heartily.

It had been ages since they last felt such unbridled freedom. For the very first time, they truly sensed they held the advantage over the Witch God and the Great Demon Lord!

“Xia Clan,” Chao Qing also smiled, as if he could already see the Xia Clan entering a new era, an era that generations of Xia transcendent beings had longed for!

“Xueying, it’s up to you,” Chao Qing looked at the white-clad young man flying high outside the Star Tower. He was the peerless transcendent destined to change the era, the strongest transcendent in the history of the Xia Clan, and would become the mightiest deity in the future. This war would determine the fate of the Xia Clan for countless ages to come.

“We must win.”

Everyone present prayed fervently.

“The Xia Clan will surely prosper,” Chi Qiubai, Gong Yu, and others also gazed into the distance, hoping for victory in the war.

The Golden-Robed Witch God’s pure flight speed wasn’t particularly fast, but by utilizing the profound principles of the First-Rank Divine Heart, the resistance of space against him became negligible. Though he could only fly five hundred miles per second, space itself seemed to contract tenfold—even a hundredfold—making it appear as though he traversed thousands, even tens of thousands of miles in a single second. The vast disparity in cultivation realms…

Permitted the Golden-Robed Witch God to swiftly infiltrate the fortress while Dongbo Xueying was still soaring at breakneck speed.

Inside the fortress hall.

“Cursed!” The Golden-Robed Witch God snarled in fury.

The Great Demon God, his body engulfed in flames, remained silent.

The Witch God had paid the greatest price in this war! Therefore, according to their agreement, he would also receive the majority of the benefits in the end.

“I schemed for a million years, spent countless resources to conquer neighboring mortal realms, and finally used those worlds as stepping stones to bridge the gap to the Xia Clan’s domain. A million years of toil and immeasurable treasures,” the Golden-Robed Witch God bellowed. “I even feared my hoard might fall short, so I enlisted you, Da’erhao, to join forces with me. And now—now I’ve been reduced to this wretched state by a mere Transcendent!”

To open a passage and occupy another mortal world was extremely difficult.

Unless the distance was just right, a material world lord usually wouldn’t do it because the cost and reward were disproportionate.

But for Red Stone Mountain.

The Dark God had frantically sought out other mortal realms as stepping stones, paying a steep price in the process. After a million years of meticulous preparation, he finally forged a connection with the Xia Clan’s world. Had he been prepared sooner, he would have already unleashed the war.

“Witch God, we haven’t lost yet,” the Great Demon God murmured in a husky tone. “To lose your calm so easily? As a ruler of the material realm, you’ve known too little adversity. Had you been raised in the Dark Abyss, forged in merciless carnage since birth, you’d understand—I’ve weathered far more dire straits. A mere transcendent is but a trifle.”

“Nothing? Then how do we win?” the Witch God gazed upon him.

“I am visiting the great Emperor right now,” the Great Demon God said.

“Emperor?” the Witch God exclaimed in astonishment.

“Emperor” represented an extremely exalted status.

The Abyss was composed of layers of worlds, and the supreme leader of a world was the “Emperor.”

An Emperor held a high position and immense power, usually a Fourth-Tier World God, sometimes even a Great Being! World Gods were divided into four tiers, and reaching the Fourth Tier meant attaining an inconceivable realm. They were extremely rare and had already established their own domains. Some of them even possessed power rivaling that of Great Beings. The Great Demon God was merely under the command of an Abyss Emperor!

“My true body has already gone to visit and is waiting for an audience,” the Great Demon God said. “Both of us have invested heavily in this war. If we lose, the cost will be too great. I have fought for the Emperor across all directions, and the Emperor trusts me greatly. I believe that just asking the Emperor for some advice should not be a problem.”

“Yes, yes, there must be hope,” the Witch God instantly brightened with anticipation.

An Abyss Emperor!

What kind of existence was that! It was said that the Emperor served by the Great Demon God Da’erhao was an ancient Fourth-Tier World God! Although not a Great Being, he was very close. To become a Fourth-Tier World God already meant nearing the threshold of Great Beings. Some of them even possessed power rivaling that of Great Beings.

“The Emperor has allowed me in,” the Great Demon God was somewhat excited. “There must be a way.”

“Then it’s your decision,” the Witch God could devise no viable strategy at this moment. Though he was a sovereign of the material realm, he remained merely a First-Tier World God, his cultivation period relatively brief, and his foundation far inferior to that of the Great Demon God.

Suddenly, the Witch God turned his head toward the outside.

Outside the castle.

Dongbo Xueying hovered in midair, seemingly thinking for a moment, before finally swinging his spear fiercely.

“Boom~~~” The spear expanded to a thousand miles in length. As the shaft swept through the sky, a massive black star slowly rotated in the surrounding illusion, carrying a devastating force that directly lashed out at the fortress.

Peng!!!

A deep sound, and the entire fortress trembled violently.

The Witch God’s heart clenched.

“I don’t believe I can’t drive it away!” Dongbo Xueying, in the air outside, was full of confidence. The fortress in the Tree Sea World was integrated with the entire world because it had refined a transcendent world, so no matter how it was attacked, the impact could be transferred and dissipated throughout the Xia Clan’s world. Therefore, it couldn’t be blasted away.

But.

This fortress before him couldn’t refine the entire world. No matter how sturdy it was.

It was like kicking a ball! The ball might not be destroyed, but it could still be kicked away!

Dongbo Xueying’s secret technique, “Chaotic Void Crush,” radiated immense power, lashing out recklessly… Even if he couldn’t destroy the fortress, directly blasting it away would still count as a success. Because even if the fortress could change position, the stable spatial passage couldn’t be moved. As long as the stable spatial passage was exposed, he could destroy the passage.

“Break!” Xue Ying Dongbo unleashed his spear techniques with wild abandon, each strike a devastating assault of overwhelming force. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The thunderous impacts against the fortress reverberated like hammer blows to the hearts of the Witch God and the Great Demon God. Anxiety and dread coiled within them both.
