Indeed.
Once a Voidwalker steps into the Paragon realm, they immediately rival the top-tier combatants of other systems. Simply by manipulating the void, they can suppress weaker Paragons!
Now, that ancient warship, under the influence of the Yuanchen Pillar formation and being close to the core, has its flight and impact power suppressed to merely twenty or thirty percent of its original might. If it was originally far superior to Dongbo Xueying, now, reduced to such a fraction, it is no longer an insurmountable foe for him.
Within the Slaughter Domain and under the void’s suppression, though the warship can still fly at high speed, it is vastly slower than before.
“What? The flight speed is this slow? The blood waves are this powerful?” The Matriarchal Cult leaders were all shocked, unable to believe what was happening.
They were wrong.
The most dazzling aspect on the surface, the ‘Slaughter Domain,’ at most causes minor trouble for weaker Paragons. The less noticeable void suppression mixed within it is several times more potent than the Slaughter Domain. Of course, if both the ‘Slaughter Path’ and the ‘Wave Path’ were to reach the Paragon realm, the qualitative leap in both paths would also bring a breakthrough in the Slaughter Domain’s power.
“Flying this slowly, Dongbo Xueying hasn’t even engaged in close combat yet. If he were to wield his spear, he could easily halt the Xumu Sacred Ship.”
“Perhaps the path he broke through in is only strong in domain control, weaker in close combat.”
“Stop the Sacred Ship! Attack and destroy this clone of Dongbo Xueying.”
The Matriarchal Cult leaders quickly made their decision. They had no time to waste, as the Bloodblade Divine Emperor was setting up new Yuanchen Pillars. They had to defeat Dongbo Xueying as soon as possible—without overcoming him, they couldn’t reach the core of the Yuanchen Pillars to destroy the formation.
“Whoosh—”
As the ancient warship halted, countless densely tangled roots on its surface suddenly shot out, enveloping Dongbo Xueying from all directions. Each root pulsed with life force, like countless whips lashing out simultaneously. The sheer power of the attack made Dongbo Xueying gasp, but fortunately, the overlapping formations weakened it significantly. Combined with the void suppression and the Slaughter Domain’s impact, the roots had become much weaker. Even so, an ordinary Paragon would struggle to defend against such a barrage and might be instantly defeated.
This was why the combined efforts of four clones from the Hall Master and the Spacetime Island Lord were needed to block them.
…
“Can he hold?”
“Dongbo Xueying’s domain is so strong—perhaps his close combat is formidable too.”
“He must hold. With the domain suppressing the Matriarchal Cult’s attacks, even if his close combat is slightly weaker, he might still manage. After all, he has two clones, and Empress Qianhe can assist.”
Primordial Master, Pang Yi, the Abyssal Ancestor—all watched nervously.
They all hoped for victory.
Yet they feared—feared that Dongbo Xueying was only strong in domain control and weak in close combat!
…
“Hmph.”
Dongbo Xueying, standing a hundred million miles tall, suddenly emitted streams of black light from his body. Each black light followed a peculiar waveform, streaking toward every root at incredible speed.
Soldier Qi!
Even without employing any profound laws, the current Soldier Qi was terrifyingly powerful. Moreover, Dongbo Xueying infused it with the first chapter of *Dao Wind Wave* while controlling it. The first chapter was relatively simple, allowing him to split his focus and manipulate thousands of Soldier Qi strands simultaneously. The third and fourth chapters were still beyond his ability to wield on such a scale.
“Dongbo Xueying, I’ll assist you.” Empress Qianhe also flew out from the Yuanchen Pillar core, swiftly approaching him.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The black lights collided with the roots, each carrying an eerie vibration. Upon impact, the roots trembled and went limp.
At a glance, the dense network of roots was instantly neutralized by the black lights, losing all momentum.
“He actually countered this move so easily?” The Matriarchal Cult leaders couldn’t believe it.
His domain was formidable enough!
But against a swarm attack, he could divide his focus to block each root with black lights?
And he still hadn’t even used his spear!
“Swarm attacks won’t work. His black lights are too powerful.” Unbeknownst to them, this was the most destructive offensive power of a Voidwalker—the Soldier Qi.
“Then crush him head-on.”
“Attack.”
The Matriarchal Cult leaders grew anxious, sensing impending doom.
…
At this moment, whether it was Empress Qianhe rushing to aid Dongbo Xueying, the Blackbird Fifth Uncle, the Bloodblade Divine Emperor setting up the formation, or the observing Paragons like Primordial Master, Qing Jun, the Spacetime Island Lord, and the Hall Master—all watched with bated breath. They sensed victory within reach! Dongbo Xueying’s strength far exceeded their expectations.
They were ecstatic!
Though unexpected, this was exactly what they had hoped for. First, his domain displayed terrifying might, and now he effortlessly handled a swarm attack. With such power, perhaps he could truly hold the line.
“Swish—”
From the prow of the ancient warship, the two longest roots coiled and lashed through the air, tearing space apart. Where they passed, a strange black shadow appeared, shredding through the layered formations and struggling against the void suppression and Slaughter Domain as they struck directly at Dongbo Xueying.
“It’s coming.” Qing Jun and the others tensed.
“Even I had to exert my full strength, relying on the ‘Mountain Path,’ to barely block this.” Qing Jun thought, well aware of how terrifying this strike was.
“This is their ultimate crushing blow. Can he withstand it?”
All watched nervously.
If he could block this, though the warship had other tricks, this was their most powerful strike. Blocking both the swarm attack and this would render their remaining moves far less threatening.
“He’s using his spear!”
“Finally, he’s wielding his spear technique!”
The Paragons observed intently.
“What a peculiar spear technique. It doesn’t seem like a perfect Eternal Dao. It feels like a fusion of Slaughter and Wave Paths, yet its profundity is incredibly high.” The Bloodblade Divine Emperor and others had sharp eyes, quickly forming judgments.
Indeed.
Just as Qing Jun had once stood toe-to-toe with Paragons as a Venerable One, Dongbo Xueying’s ‘Path of Waves’ and ‘Path of Slaughter,’ though not yet Eternal, had reached the zenith of their bottlenecks. By synthesizing these paths—drawing upon the boundless archives of the Ancestral Demon Mountain and tempering them with his own enlightenment—he forged *Dao Wind Wave*. In sheer profundity, it could rival the works of Paragons themselves. And now… he had even perfected its fourth chapter.
What he wielded now was precisely this newly created fourth chapter.
“*Dao Wind Wave, Chapter Four: Singularity!*”
The spear traced an arc of unfathomable mystery, countless waveforms converging toward its tip, as if an invisible ‘point’ lay there, gathering all vibrations.
Dongbo Xueying named this strike ‘Singularity.’
“Boom!!!”
The spear tip pierced the root tearing through space.
The ancient, resilient root trembled violently, its internal force scattered by the bizarre vibrations, going limp.
This sight chilled the hearts of the Matriarchal Cult leaders.
In raw power…
Most of the strength-focused Matriarchal Cult leaders likely paled in comparison to Dongbo Xueying. In profundity, they were even more outmatched.
“We’ve lost.”
“His strength is overwhelming.”
“We can’t stop him.”
The Matriarchal Cult leaders knew it. Though the Xumu Sacred Ship had other means, they understood they couldn’t halt Dongbo Xueying. What pained them most was—Dongbo Xueying had fought with only one clone all along. His other clone hadn’t even appeared!
“Just like Qing Jun, Primordial Master, and the Infernal Paragon, a single clone held the line.” The Matriarchal Cult leaders felt their hearts grow cold. “He has another clone, capable of guarding another Yuanchen Pillar!”
…
While the Matriarchal Cult leaders despaired, the cultivators were overjoyed, the sudden turn of events almost too much to process.
“A single clone held?”
“He withstood their full assault?”
Even the Bloodblade Divine Emperor was stunned.
Primordial Master laughed heartily. “Dongbo Xueying’s strength is unfathomable. In terms of power, he might even surpass me! Qing Jun, Infernal, what do you think?”
“Likely on par with us,” Qing Jun said.
“Indeed. His close combat is stronger,” the Infernal Paragon added. “His Dao comprehension is slightly lacking, but overall, he’s at our level.”
Through the war, they had come to understand each other’s strengths.
The strongest was the Bloodblade Divine Emperor, with a clear advantage—especially with the Blackbird’s aid.
Next were the Infernal Paragon and Qing Jun.
Primordial Master, Pang Yi, and others followed, though Primordial Master’s longevity and myriad techniques kept him formidable. Now, Dongbo Xueying’s debut placed him alongside the Infernal Paragon and Qing Jun.
“Hahaha, regardless, he’s far stronger than me. Dongbo Xueying guarded a Yuanchen Pillar with one clone. He has another! He can guard another spot. Hahaha, all twelve Yuanchen Pillars can now be set up!” The Hall Master was overjoyed.
“Yes, my Yuanchen Pillar will be ready soon,” the Bloodblade Divine Emperor said, equally excited.
“Finally, the twelve Yuanchen Pillars will be complete.”
…
The Matriarchal Cult’s warship struggled, launching over a dozen more attacks before finally retreating in defeat.
The cultivators rejoiced. Soon, the Bloodblade Divine Emperor completed his Yuanchen Pillar.
“Whoosh.”
The red-robed Dongbo Xueying traversed the void, swiftly arriving where his master had set up the formation.
“Master.” The red-robed Dongbo Xueying bowed.
“Xueying.” The Bloodblade Divine Emperor, having just finished, was delighted to see his disciple.
“Let me guard this Yuanchen Pillar,” the red-robed Dongbo Xueying offered.
“Good.” The Bloodblade Divine Emperor laughed. “I can’t wait any longer. I’ll set up the final Yuanchen Pillar now! I’ve waited too long—I never thought we’d complete all twelve today.”
The red-robed Dongbo Xueying landed atop the Yuanchen Pillar.
The Bloodblade Divine Emperor gazed at his disciple, then beyond, his vision piercing endless distances, taking in countless stars and cultivators.
A smile graced his face as weariness faded from his heart. “This war… may finally be coming to an end.”
