Dongbo Xueying had been serving as the Inspector for over three months. Not only the eastern region of Anhai Prefecture but also many other territories were closely watching, eager to see how His Highness Dongbo would deal with the Venomous Ying World God. Yet, after such a long wait, Dongbo Xueying had shown no movement whatsoever. This led many factions to whisper among themselves.
“What’s going on with Dongbo Xueying? Could it be that his forces are insufficient to handle Venomous Ying?”
“Unless he directly reports to His Majesty the Divine Emperor, there’s no way he can take down Venomous Ying! But if he relies on His Majesty for such a trivial matter, the Emperor might consider Dongbo Xueying utterly useless.”
“No choice. Though his future is boundless, his current strength is still too weak.”
World Gods live long lives.
They observed with patience, waiting.
They believed that since Dongbo Xueying had already made bold declarations, it would be too shameful if nothing happened at all. Whether he succeeded or failed, there should at least be some action!
…
In a quiet chamber within the Inspector’s residence.
Dongbo Xueying sat cross-legged, nine golden orbs placed before him. Strands of golden light continuously flowed into his nostrils. Inside his body, World God power merged with these golden strands, undergoing a profound transformation into wisps of white energy—Taihao Power! This Taihao Power was purer, heavier, and sharper.
The original Taihao Power also absorbed the golden light, further transforming.
In mere moments.
Above the continent within his inner world, countless white clouds appeared, each a condensation of Taihao Power.
“Rumble—” The Taihao Power surged through his body, merging completely with his muscles, bones, organs, and even the most fundamental particles of his being. Dongbo Xueying felt the power to shatter heaven and earth.
“After over three months of cultivation, I’ve finally completed the third cycle.” Dongbo Xueying smiled faintly, sighing. “It wasn’t easy.”
Though it was only three months in the outside world.
In truth, his true self in his homeland, within Red Rock Mountain, had maintained a hundredfold time acceleration. Only then did he achieve enlightenment and breakthrough, advancing the second chapter of “Taihao” to the third cycle.
“The fourth cycle will be much harder.” Dongbo Xueying mused. “Even with my comprehension, it will likely take a long time.”
To be honest.
Though cultivating supreme techniques was difficult, Dongbo Xueying was more than willing to invest the time. Not only did it enhance his strength, but it also deepened his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, greatly aiding his cultivation.
“Now, it’s time to deal with Venomous Ying.” Dongbo Xueying stood, waving his hand to collect the nine Golden Fiend Crystals. “She must think I’m powerless against her after all this time. Hmph!”
“Rumble—”
The chamber door opened.
Dongbo Xueying stepped out.
“Commander Baili, Commander Jiuqi, gather your troops immediately.” Standing by the railing, his voice boomed across the entire Inspector’s residence.
Instantly, the residence stirred into action.
Soldiers rapidly assembled.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Several streaks of light flew over, landing beside Dongbo Xueying—Yu Jingqiu, Dongbo Yu, Dongbo Qingyao, Ge Bai, He Feiyun, Xi Wei, and others.
“Dongbo, why have you summoned the guards?” Yu Jingqiu began, but Dongbo Yu cut in excitedly, “Father, are we going after Venomous Ying?”
“Yes.” Dongbo Xueying nodded with a smile.
“Are you confident?” Yu Jingqiu asked.
“Don’t worry.” Dongbo Xueying replied assuredly.
“Father, take me with you.” Dongbo Qingyao pleaded, and Dongbo Yu added, “Me too.”
Dongbo Xueying glanced at his wife and relented. “Fine, you can come. Jingqiu, keep an eye on them. No reckless actions.”
In the distance, two massive contingents approached.
All soldiers wore cyan armor.
Captains wore the same cyan armor, adorned with black patterns.
Commanders wore cyan armor with more intricate golden patterns. Each commander served as the core of their formation.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Over two thousand voices echoed as they landed, shaking the heavens. The other two commanders and World Gods also arrived.
“Commander Baili, Commander Jiuqi, lead your troops and follow me. The rest remain here under Ge Bai and He Feiyun’s command.” Dongbo Xueying ordered.
“Yes!” They chorused.
“Xi Wei, come with me.” Dongbo Xueying instructed before raising his voice. “Move out!”
Boom—
Dongbo Xueying led his forces out of the Inspector’s residence.
“He’s made his move.”
“His Highness Dongbo is finally acting.”
“He’s leading over two thousand guards.” Spies from various factions, including Venomous Ying’s, had been watching. Seeing such a massive mobilization, they immediately reported back.
…
Dongbo Xueying paid them no mind. He led his guards directly to another vast area in the eastern city—the Dongliao Army barracks.
Outside the barracks.
Army Master Mo awaited with his soldiers.
Dongbo Xueying descended with his troops. “Army Master Mo.”
“Your Highness, what brings you here?” Army Master Mo smiled. “And with so many soldiers?”
“As Inspector, I’ve done little since taking office. I’m here to fulfill my duties—to inspect.” Dongbo Xueying stated plainly.
Army Master Mo quickly replied, “Your Highness, I will cooperate fully.”
“Let’s talk inside.” Dongbo Xueying strode in, Army Master Mo at his side. Yu Jingqiu, Dongbo Yu, and Dongbo Qingyao observed the barracks as the troops followed.
“Your Highness, whatever you need, just say the word.” Army Master Mo was deferential. Though one of the four Army Masters of Anhai Prefecture, his strength was the weakest. Unlike Army Master Wu, a top-tier Third Heaven World God, or Army Master Qin with her powerful backing, he had no choice but to be humble before Dongbo Xueying.
“How many star domains does the Ten Thousand Fiends Abyss control?” Dongbo Xueying asked.
Army Master Mo thought, Here it comes. The Ten Thousand Fiends Abyss was Venomous Ying’s domain. His Highness is truly making his move.
“The Ten Thousand Fiends Abyss controls thirty-two star domains and oversees the collection of faith power there.” Army Master Mo answered.
“Bring me all records of faith power collection from the Abyss’s inception to now.” Dongbo Xueying commanded as he took his seat in the hall.
“At once!” Army Master Mo barked at his subordinates.
Moments later.
Thud, thud, thud… A World God officer entered, waving his hand to produce three chests. He opened them, revealing stacks of scrolls.
Dongbo Xueying’s gaze swept over them. Crimson World God power enveloped the scrolls, inspecting each in an instant—such was the speed of a World God’s mind.
“Interesting.” Dongbo Xueying turned to Army Master Mo. “The faith power collected by the Ten Thousand Fiends Abyss seems… lacking, doesn’t it?”
