“How could he master another second-tier Divine Heart so swiftly? That’s simply impossible!” The golden-robed Wu Shen’s expression shifted abruptly.
“It truly is too fast. He has mastered three True Essences. It would be one thing if he broke through just one, but how could he keep breaking through continuously?” the Great Demon God also frowned. Normally, an extraordinary being might cultivate two or three True Essences simultaneously. Once one True Essence breaks through to the Divine Heart realm, it’s not easy to break through with another. For example, ‘Chen Jiu’ and ‘Mountain Master Mei’, the latter cultivated internally to develop the ‘Only Self’ True Essence and externally perceived the space True Essence.
The space and Only Self True Essences represent two completely different directions! Although occasionally they might inspire each other, after mastering the space Divine Heart, the Mountain Master Mei took a very long time before he could grasp the Only Self Divine Heart.
Chen Jiu mastered the Only Self Divine Heart, but his ‘Eight Dragon’ True Essence had never managed to break through to the Divine Heart realm.
Under normal circumstances…
Immortals who cultivate multiple True Essences rarely experience continuous breakthroughs. However, Dongbo Xueying was different from all of them. Dongbo Xueying’s cultivation time was much shorter than theirs. Before he had mastered any True Essence, he had actually been contemplating the mysteries of earth, fire, water, and wind. These four mysteries, with their different inclinations, enabled Dongbo Xueying to achieve the ultimate penetration, the Illusory Realm, and the Starry Realm.
Because they originated from the same source and had always been mutually verified during cultivation, whenever Dongbo Xueying broke through, the three True Essences wouldn’t be separated by long intervals.
“According to the revelations from the Temple of Time and Space, Dongbo Xueying has mastered a forbidden art known as the ‘Stellar Annihilation Strike,'” the golden-robed Wu Shen murmured with a furrowed brow. “This arcane technique merges the essence of the Starry True Energy with the Ultimate Penetration True Energy! Now that he has awakened both the Starry Divine Heart and the Ultimate Penetration Divine Heart, the destructive might of this secret art will undoubtedly ascend to terrifying new heights.”
“It should still be unbreakable, right?” the Great Demon God also felt somewhat worried.
Mixed True Essence secret techniques are inherently extremely powerful!
…
Inside that black flower, Dongbo Xueying was immersed in enlightenment. All his years of insights into ‘Ultimate Penetration’ gathered together, forming a complete whole, allowing Dongbo Xueying’s understanding and perception of ‘Ultimate Penetration’ to reach a truly perfect state. At this moment, Dongbo Xueying could better sense the vastness of the legendary first-tier Divine Heart, the ‘Ultimate Divine Heart.’
Within the boundless heavenly rules.
There existed a gigantic sphere, present in the void, seeming both real and unreal. It faintly represented the end and beginning of all heavenly rules.
Dongbo Xueying felt as if he were just a tiny part of this immense sphere!
“If I could master the Ultimate Divine Heart… my realm would reach an inconceivable level,” Dongbo Xueying was awestruck. By mastering the first-tier Divine Heart, as long as there was sufficient energy, one could advance all the way to the Realm God stage in one breath. The transition from God to Realm God was a huge chasm; in fact, countless deities, no matter how long they cultivated, could never become Realm Gods. Those who managed to become Realm Gods after millions of years of arduous cultivation were already considered exceptionally gifted.
For instance, the Witch Deity (Wu Shen) only ascended to the status of a Realm God after an immensely prolonged period of cultivation.
Dongbo Xueying immediately calmed his thoughts, ceased further contemplation, and opened his eyes, gripping a blood-drinking spear and staring at the enormous, towering black petals before him.
“Boom!” Dongbo Xueying unleashed the Stellar Annihilation Strike. With a single thrust of his spear, its might was boundless. Combining the mysteries of two Divine Hearts, the speed of this spear strike was incomparable. It struck the flexible, massive black petal, causing it to dent and vibrate, but it did not break through.
“Again.” Dongbo Xueying continued thrusting spear after spear. As he launched his attacks, the Stellar Annihilation Strike was also constantly improving, as he had only just mastered the Ultimate Penetration Divine Heart and needed time to refine the secret technique.
A whole day passed.
The Witch God and the Great Demon Lord finally began to ease slightly. When it came to resisting piercing attacks, the Datura Sacred Flower was evidently quite adept—its material was truly extraordinary. In terms of sheer force, the Stellar Annihilation Strike was slightly weaker than the Chaos Devastation, making it even more difficult to breach.
“Hmph.”
The golden-robed Wu Shen let out a sigh of relief as he gazed at the distant, towering Star Tower, its radiance still stretching across ten thousand miles.
“Why is this Star Tower still operational? Just how many Divine Crystals did Dongbo Xueying leave inside? Even as an inner disciple, logically, he shouldn’t possess such an abundance…”
“Let’s wait a little longer. It should be soon,” the Great Demon God was equally restless within. “Besides, the defenses of the Tuoluo Sacred Blossom are flawless—Dongbo Xueying won’t be able to breach them.”
…
Dongbo Xueying seemed calm as he continued his cultivation.
He clearly understood that being anxious would be of no use. Devoting himself fully to cultivation and improving his strength as soon as possible was the only thing he could do!
Three months after mastering the Ultimate Penetration Divine Heart, it was daytime, the sun was setting in the west, and sunlight filtered through the world’s membrane, casting its glow over the entire desert. The sand grains reflected the light, making it seem like a very peaceful afternoon. This afternoon… was destined to be extraordinary, becoming the most important turning point in the Xia Clan’s history!
“Boom!” Inside the massive black flower, the surrounding area of the white-robed youth, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, became hazy and illusory.
“The Illusory Realm Divine Heart?”
Everything happened naturally, as if it were destined. After mastering the Starry Divine Heart and the Ultimate Penetration Divine Heart, he finally grasped the Illusory Realm Divine Heart. The breakthrough was relatively quiet, much less dramatic than the other two Divine Hearts.
“Illusory Realm?” Dongbo Xueying felt as if he had transformed into a vast illusory world, easily reflecting everything. Whether it was in the desert or in the distant cities, countless mortals continued their peaceful lives in remote villages and secluded places. They had no idea that calamity had already arrived and that the Xia Clan’s most elite beings were fighting to resist it.
The Xia Clan’s world spanned millions of miles.
Even when Dongbo Xueying was at the third stage of the Illusory Realm True Essence, he could reflect the area within ten thousand miles around him. Now that he had reached the Illusory Realm Divine Heart realm, the entire Xia Clan’s world was under his reflection!
The illusory realm he could control completely mirrored the real world of the Xia Clan. Dongbo Xueying even sensed the surging power of the vast heaven and earth. This was the power of the mortal world. Feeling this surging power, Dongbo Xueying vaguely perceived a ‘unique’ place. It was an intangible thing, yet it existed.
It was the core of the Xia Clan world’s operation.
It was also a small part of the operation of the vast material world. It enabled the birth of countless lives in the Xia Clan’s world. It compelled deities to leave after ten thousand years. It suppressed outsiders. It supported these native-born children.
It… was the ‘World Heart’ of the Xia Clan’s world.
“I can sense the World Heart?” Dongbo Xueying was somewhat awestruck because being able to discover the World Heart meant that with just one more step forward, there would be hope of refining it. Obviously, the Illusory Realm Divine Heart was quite suitable for refining the World Heart, as the Illusory Realm Divine Heart itself was the mastery of a world, albeit only a virtual one.
“Although it’s just one step away, refining the World Heart will likely require many years of cultivation,” Dongbo Xueying immediately stopped thinking further. “Now I must seize the time and quickly enhance my strength.”
Dongbo Xueying remained seated cross-legged.
At the same time, a black statue appeared in his mind, formed by the ‘Ten Thousand Calamities Primordial Sutra.’ A vast amount of information was received by Dongbo Xueying, and he began to visualize a three-dimensional, complex Divine Seal. It was a humanoid standing figure with one finger pointing to the heavens and the other to the earth. The Divine Seal was incredibly intricate, but after mastering the complete Illusory Realm Divine Heart, its comprehension became incredibly fast.
It should be known that the ‘Ten Thousand Calamities Primordial Sutra’ was divided into nine layers.
The first to third layers were generally cultivated at the Divine level. From the fourth layer onward, one needed to reach the Realm God level to cultivate further.
The ‘Illusory Realm True Essence’ was very suitable for this secret technique. At the third stage, one could cultivate the first layer. Upon reaching the Divine Heart realm, one could cultivate up to the second layer. If one could take another step forward, one could achieve the third layer! Going further? That would already be the Realm God level.
Dongbo Xueying spent only half an incense stick’s worth of time contemplating and completely understood this three-dimensional Divine Seal.
“So this step is to begin opening up a small illusory realm inside every particle of the body?” Dongbo Xueying secretly marveled, then stopped thinking further and immediately began cultivation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One three-dimensional Divine Seal after another began to merge into every particle, starting to change the micro-particles within each particle. Gradually, tiny illusory realms began to appear within the micro-particle structures. This transformation was a fundamental change. The ‘micro-particle composition’ within each particle was gradually evolving toward becoming a world, which also caused Dongbo Xueying’s body to undergo earth-shattering changes.
As the particles transformed at their core, naturally, the blood, skin, muscles, tendons, bones, internal organs, and other components made from these particles also began to experience astonishing enhancements.
“Boom~~~~”
Within the sacred bloom of the Tuo Luo Holy Flower, the white-robed youth sat in lotus position, his form radiating a torrential and majestic presence. Simultaneously, he began to voraciously devour the primal energies of heaven and earth.
In the realms of Red Stone Mountain and Red Dust Island, the cosmic forces were boundless, as if drawn from primordial source stones themselves. Yet, within the mortal domain of the Xia Clan, the ambient energies were far less concentrated. Thus, the ascension of his Ten Thousand Calamities Primordial Body triggered cataclysmic upheavals—manifesting as a colossal vortex of celestial and terrestrial power.
This titanic maelstrom spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, shrouding a fraction of the Xia Clan’s vast continent. Across countless cities, bewildered masses gazed skyward at the apocalyptic swirl, many whispering in dread that it heralded the end of days.
“Such a terrifying surge of celestial and earthly power?” Whether it was the Divine Witch and the Great Demon God within the Scarlet Leaf Realm, or Yu Jingqiu, Lord He Shan, Lord Chen Gong, Chao Qing, and the others within the Star Tower—all gazed upon this scene with shock and awe.
