The silver-white ice dragon’s visage was clearly visible as it lunged ferociously, its claws gleaming with a chilling light.
“Perfect timing.” Dongbo Xueying, though here to rescue someone, also intended to use this opportunity to temper himself further. After all, finding worthy opponents in the Xia Clan’s world had become difficult, and training in the Divine Realm was relatively easier.
Without dodging, Dongbo Xueying swung his spear with overwhelming force. The shaft bent slightly as dark stars materialized around him, swirling in a cosmic dance—this was his most formidable power-based secret technique, *Hunyuan Crush*.
**BOOM!!!**
The spear shaft collided head-on with the dragon’s claw.
“Such immense strength!” Dongbo Xueying immediately felt an overwhelming impact, sending him flying backward. He crashed violently into the corridor wall, the impact causing the structure to cave in and shatter. Though the collision seemed brutal, his *Ten Thousand Tribulations Hunyuan Body* excelled at survival. “This ice dragon truly lives up to its reputation as a lifeform condensed from a formation. Its strength is incredible, and its speed is no less impressive.”
**”ROAR~~~”** The silver-white ice dragon bellowed, its tail sweeping through the air as it charged again.
—
Deep within the fortress, inside a grand hall.
“Kill, kill, kill!” A purple-scaled man watched the battle unfold in the projection above, his eyes burning with anticipation. “Kill him!”
The two beauties attending him and his three subordinates watched nervously.
“Commander, the intruder keeps getting injured. He must be close to death.”
“The formation’s ice dragon clearly holds an absolute advantage.”
The subordinates murmured among themselves.
The purple-scaled man nodded slightly. “It does have the upper hand, but it will take some time for the ice dragon to finish off that intruder. Tch, their battle is too intense—they’ve already destroyed too much of the fortress.”
In the projection, the ice dragon relentlessly pursued Dongbo Xueying. Every swipe of its claws tore through the corridors, some areas even collapsing entirely. After all, Dongbo Xueying’s strength had already reached the threshold of a World God, and the ice dragon was slightly stronger! The sheer force of their clashes was too much for the fortress to withstand.
Seconds ticked by.
“Why hasn’t it won yet?” The purple-scaled man frowned, sensing something amiss. “The intruder keeps getting crushed, yet he’s still holding on?”
—
**BOOM!!!**
The corridor collapsed, debris flying in all directions.
Dongbo Xueying stood at the center, the fragments repelled before they could even touch him.
“Enough playing around. Time to end this.” Dongbo Xueying eyed the rampaging ice dragon before him. He had indulged in the fight out of sheer excitement, but now it was time to finish it. “This formation-born ice dragon is strong, but it’s still just a construct. It has its flaws.”
**”Break.”**
As the ice dragon lunged, Dongbo Xueying twisted his spear shaft. The scene of stars expanding, exploding, and collapsing into a singularity manifested around him. The spear shot forth like lightning, piercing the dragon’s outstretched claw.
**Secret Technique—Stellar Annihilation Strike!**
The current *Stellar Annihilation Strike* was a fusion of two divine-level pinnacle insights—*Singularity Penetration Divine Heart* and *Stellar Divine Heart*. While its raw power paled in comparison to *Hunyuan Crush*, its penetrative force and other aspects were overwhelmingly superior. Strictly speaking, this was Dongbo Xueying’s deadliest move when not employing his *World Divine Heart*.
The spear tip met the dragon’s claw.
Once again, Dongbo Xueying was sent flying, but this time, the claw bore a gaping hole from the spear’s impact, cracks radiating outward. One more strike, and the claw would shatter entirely.
“After all, it’s just an ice dragon.” Dongbo Xueying shook his head. “Condensed from frost, it might withstand brute-force impacts like *Hunyuan Crush*, but against a piercing strike like *Stellar Annihilation Strike*, its icy body can’t hold.”
He had long since identified the winning method—he simply hadn’t been in a hurry to use it.
**”Again.”**
Dongbo Xueying charged forward, launching a relentless assault.
Spear strikes infused with *Stellar Annihilation Strike* rained down. With strength already at the World God threshold and the fusion of two divine hearts, the ice dragon’s body soon became riddled with holes and cracks. It roared in fury, but as a low-intelligence formation construct, it could only blindly obey its orders to kill the intruder.
**”Shatter.”**
With a final *Hunyuan Crush*, the spear slammed into the ice dragon’s body, causing it to tremble violently.
**BOOOOOOM!!!**
Under the overwhelming force, the already fractured silver-white ice dragon let out one last unwilling roar before exploding into countless icy shards. These fragments, forged by the formation to empower the construct with World God-level strength, remained razor-sharp even in destruction.
“The Blackbone Mountain Lord truly lives up to his reputation. To set up such a formation—impressive.” Dongbo Xueying mused inwardly. “Fortunately, he can’t rush here immediately.”
The Divine Realm was vast.
Even the distance between two stars was immense. For the Blackbone Mountain Lord to travel from his lair to *Frostiron Star*, even at top speed, would take at least a day or two.
Thus, Dongbo Xueying proceeded with calm confidence, breaking through the fortress head-on.
—
Whether in the fortress’s grand hall or among the scattered watchers observing the battle, all were stunned.
That overwhelmingly powerful ice dragon…
Had lost?
“Another secret technique?” The purple-scaled man gulped. “And a fused one at that? To possess multiple secret techniques, even a fused one… and yet he dares to assault our Frostiron Star?”
“Commander, an intruder this powerful must have long been taken as a disciple by one of those lofty existences,” one of the beauties beside him said. “If his status were high enough, he wouldn’t need to attack us directly. A simple message would suffice.”
“Hmph.”
The purple-scaled man snorted coldly. “Perhaps he spent tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years to develop his techniques. Those lofty existents might not have deemed him worthy.”
“Still, his strength is undeniable.” The commander’s eyes turned icy. “But his greatest folly is storming this fortress. This is Blackbone Mountain’s mining outpost on Frostiron Star—did he think it would be easy to breach? A deity is still just a deity. To think he could single-handedly destroy one of our external strongholds is laughable.”
“Commander… should we activate the lower formation?” A short, stout subordinate whispered. “The fortress will suffer catastrophic damage.”
“The destruction is already severe from his battle with the ice dragon. Right now, killing the intruder is our priority.” The purple-scaled man’s voice was frigid. “The Mountain Lord once said this formation was his life’s work. Without World God strength, anyone trapped within it is doomed.”
—
Spear in hand, Dongbo Xueying advanced unstoppably, obliterating any strange formations in the corridors with brute force. No more guards dared intercept him—ordinary deities would only be throwing their lives away.
Multiple divine hearts, multiple secret techniques, and even World God-level arts…
A deity like him stood at the pinnacle of terror.
“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying gradually slowed his steps as he reached a vast, hollow cavern with three additional passages branching out.
*”Come in, come in… step inside, and you’re dead.”*
Hidden observers—the purple-scaled man and his subordinates—watched with bated breath, eager for the inevitable.
