In this vast starry sky, figures emerged one after another.
The elderly Yuanchu Master in simple robes, the elegant and noble Lady Qianhe, the black-robed, black-haired Island Master of Time and Space, the cold and stern ‘Purgatory Overlord’ clad in golden armor, the massive ‘Nile Overlord’ exuding a bloody aura, the burly ‘Abyss Progenitor’ with a scruffy beard in loose robes, the aloof ‘Pantheon Master’ in starry robes, and the most profound and majestic of them all—the Bloodblade Divine Emperor in dark red robes. A total of eight Overlords had gathered. Besides them, two other beings appeared.
One was a gentle young man in moon-white robes, and the other a barefoot man in disheveled gray robes.
The young man was like a spring breeze, like gentle rain, exuding no pressure—only an irresistible warmth that made one long to draw near.
The barefoot man, though his gaze was calm, carried an innate dominance over the surrounding world, compelling all to bow before him.
They were Pang Yi and Qing Jun—both possessing strength rivaling that of the Overlords.
This time, the ten supreme beings of the cultivator universe had all gathered here.
“Yuanchu, as expected of the longest-lived in our epoch. Despite all of us investigating, you were the first to discover it,” teased the Nile Overlord.
“I’ve scoured this place multiple times. This time, I noticed something unusual and only after careful study did I uncover its flaw,” Yuanchu Master replied with a faint smile, clearly pleased with himself. After all, the Mother Goddess Sect’s concealment methods were indeed formidable.
“Now that we’ve found it, we must act without delay,” declared the Bloodblade Divine Emperor.
“Bloodblade, you should lead us,” the Abyss Progenitor suggested.
“You take command,” Yuanchu Master also agreed.
None of the nine present objected.
Everyone knew that in terms of the breadth of cultivation, none surpassed the Bloodblade Divine Emperor. He was the foremost in the universe in formations and artifact forging, a testament to his vast expertise. To coordinate Overlords each excelling in different fields, only the Bloodblade Divine Emperor was suited for the task.
“Very well,” the Bloodblade Divine Emperor accepted without hesitation and began preparations.
“Hum.”
The void behind him suddenly split open.
A massive golden eye appeared within the rift, gazing into the distance. At this moment, the Bloodblade Divine Emperor’s aura grew unstable, while the black bird on his shoulder remained vigilant, knowing that its master was nearly defenseless and needed protection.
“They’ve discovered us and are preparing to flee,” the Bloodblade Divine Emperor announced as the void rift closed and the golden eye vanished.
“Follow my command.”
A flash of killing intent gleamed in his eyes.
…
The highest-level battle of the cultivator universe unfolded silently, with only ten participants from the cultivator side.
…
**Xueying Domain.**
Standing on the boundless snowy plains, Dongbo Xueying wielded his Blood Serpent Spear, executing spear techniques that radiated a pervasive aura of slaughter. Streaks of spear light tore through the sky, wreaking havoc in all directions.
Unable to endure the mental trials of the ‘Epoch Tribulation,’ Dongbo Xueying realized brute-force cultivation was not the way and temporarily set it aside. Instead, he focused on the ‘Void Path’ and studied the flying dagger true artifact and the slaughter path within the Blood Serpent Spear. His greatest weakness now was offensive techniques, so he devoted himself entirely to the ‘Slaughter Path,’ hoping to carve out his own way.
He even occasionally studied the demonic blade, whose ‘Slaughter Blade Path’ was also aligned with killing.
“Hu.”
Dongbo Xueying suddenly retracted his spear, his expression stunned.
“What? Brother Huo Chen, is this true?” he inquired through karma.
“Absolutely! Pang Yi has become an Overlord. My master told me—how could it be false?” Huo Chen the Revered was equally excited.
“Pang Yi has finally ascended to Overlord,” Dongbo Xueying marveled.
Pang Yi’s strength had always been unfathomable. Even before becoming an Overlord, he ranked eighth on the Cosmic Deva-Demon Ranking, surpassing even the Bloody Overlord and Qing Jun.
“Who discovered Pang Yi’s ascension? Did he announce it himself?” Dongbo Xueying asked.
“The Overlords found a crucial stronghold of the Mother Goddess Sect, initially mistaking it for their lair. The eight Overlords, along with Pang Yi and Qing Jun, launched an assault. The stronghold was guarded by only one Mother Goddess Sect leader and two guardians, but they held out for a long time by leveraging the terrain. During the battle, Pang Yi suddenly revealed overwhelming power—he bypassed the stronghold’s defenses with a secret technique, instantly killing the two guardians and creating a breach in their formation. The leader ultimately escaped using a special treasure,” Huo Chen explained. “But the stronghold was seized, and according to my master, they uncovered many of the Mother Goddess Sect’s secrets.”
Dongbo Xueying nodded.
Given that a leader and two guardians had been stationed there, it was natural they’d find valuable intelligence.
“Pang Yi’s strength as an Overlord is terrifying. He killed two guardians through layers of defenses—something even the Bloodblade Divine Emperor couldn’t do,” Huo Chen continued. “Incredible, truly incredible. My master said Pang Yi created an entirely new cultivation method.”
“Remarkable,” Dongbo Xueying praised.
…
After Huo Chen’s revelation, the Divine Emperor soon informed his disciple as well:
“Xueying, the star map you uncovered was indeed accurate. We found a Mother Goddess Sect stronghold in that region. Based on its formation, it connects with two other strongholds and their lair to form a colossal, immensely stable array. Fortunately, Pang Yi’s secret technique allowed us to eliminate the leader’s subordinates, disrupting the formation and enabling us to breach it. Haha! With this stronghold destroyed, the other two and their lair have lost the array’s protection. Moreover, the formation suggests the Mother Goddess Sect is definitely within that starfield.”
Dongbo Xueying could sense his master’s joy.
Beyond the Divine Emperor’s message, many other Revered Ones and even more mighty beings soon relayed the news. The birth of a new Overlord was a monumental event for the entire universe, stirring widespread excitement. As word spread, even many World Deities and ordinary deities learned of it—the Divine Realm had gained a new Overlord: Pang Yi!
…
Half a year after Pang Yi’s ascension, he took on a disciple—Hui Ming.
Dongbo Xueying’s senior brother—Hui Ming.
A day after Hui Ming became Pang Yi’s disciple, the entire Divine Realm and Abyss were shaken.
Because he transcended—becoming a mighty being!
A Fourth Heaven World Deity, entangled in countless karmic bonds from spreading faith far and wide, had transcended merely a day after becoming Pang Yi’s disciple. This sent shockwaves through all factions. Overlords and World Deities alike were stunned.
It was widely believed that those who ascended to Fourth Heaven World Deity through faith stones could never transcend. Yet Hui Ming had done so immediately after joining Pang Yi. Everyone deduced it must be linked to the new Overlord. Soon, Pang Yi himself confirmed it—even those burdened by endless karma could transcend using his cultivation method.
Thus—
Chaos erupted. Countless Fourth Heaven World Deities clamored to become Pang Yi’s disciples. Even Overlords intervened, pleading on behalf of their followers. The Bloodblade Divine Emperor himself asked, “Can Xueying and Zhushan transcend using this method?”
“They’ve already forged their own paths. I cannot help them,” Pang Yi refused outright.
Dongbo Xueying also sought a way for his wife, Yu Jingqiu, to study under Pang Yi.
Too many sought discipleship, all hoping to emulate Hui Ming’s transcendence.
For the sake of ascension, Fourth Heaven World Deities would stop at nothing. Pang Yi knew he had to address this.
“Those who wish to become my disciples may come. Listen to my three-day sermon. Those who comprehend may stay. Those who do not—leave,” Pang Yi declared publicly. “A warning: my method has only been mastered by Hui Ming thus far.”
When the sermon began, swarms of Fourth Heaven World Deities—from both the Divine Realm and the Abyss, even reclusive ones—flocked to him. Some weaker Third and Second Heaven World Deities also attended.
Even Revered Ones and Overlords sent avatars or true divine power incarnations.
Dongbo Xueying dispatched a World Deity power incarnation to listen.
Upon hearing it, he was baffled.
Pang Yi’s method required spreading faith widely and cultivating through it, yet the entry threshold was staggeringly high. Among the countless World Deities present—even the many Third and Second Heaven ones—not a single one succeeded. For someone like Dongbo Xueying, who had never absorbed faith power, it was utterly impossible.
…
The fervor around Pang Yi’s method gradually subsided, reminding all that transcendence was no simple feat.
A year after Pang Yi’s ascension, the oldest Overlord—Yuanchu Master—finally revised and published the latest Cosmic Deva-Demon Ranking, distributing it to all listed powerhouses, including Dongbo Xueying.
