Chapter 788: The True Body That Cannot Be Found

“You, a mere True God Overlord, dare to speak such grand words?” The three-eyed, fur-covered Void creature boomed with a voice like thunder. “The gap between a True God Overlord and a Void God is insurmountable. Even if there were dozens or hundreds of Overlords, I could swallow them all in one gulp.”

The black-scaled monster beside him also sneered with disdain. Despite Dongbo Xueying having slain a large group of Overlord-level Void creatures, the three leaders still felt no threat whatsoever.

Based on their experience, the idea of an Overlord challenging a Void God was nothing short of a joke!

Perhaps only the most elite factions in legend could nurture a handful of monstrous geniuses capable of such a feat. But such prodigies were exceedingly rare—and they weren’t facing just one Void God, but three. Especially their Great Leader, who had cultivated for countless years and possessed extraordinary strength.

“Big Brother?” The three-eyed, fur-covered creature turned to their Great Leader, as did the black-scaled monster.

The Great Leader narrowed his eyes at Dongbo Xueying and commanded, “Attack. Kill him.”

“Yes.”

“Haha, let’s kill him!”

The black-scaled monster and the three-eyed creature immediately sprang into action.

The black-scaled monster unleashed rippling black waves from its body, spreading outward in all directions. Meanwhile, the three-eyed creature’s third eye released an invisible pulse, sweeping toward Dongbo Xueying’s three avatars and simultaneously probing the surrounding space.

Strangely, their respective rule domains did not interfere with each other at all.

“Hmph.” All three of Dongbo Xueying’s avatars remained hidden within the Void World, greatly weakening the black waves’ impact. As for the invisible pulse—it was a peculiar soul attack. Since the avatars were remotely controlled by his true body, with only his consciousness projected into them, he had no fear of such assaults.

“Slaying those Overlord-level Void creatures earlier has greatly refined my First Sword of Annihilation. Now, I can manifest twelve perforations. These three Void Gods are even stronger—fighting them will sharpen my skills further. I must seize this chance to fully comprehend the First Sword of Annihilation,” Dongbo Xueying thought to himself.

He knew all too well.

Without mastering the First Sword of Annihilation, killing three Void Gods would be nothing but a dream.

So he had to grasp it quickly…

What he lacked in the First Sword was real combat experience.

“Boom—!” Within the Void World, one of the black-clothed Dongbo Xueyings teleported directly toward the three-eyed creature. His spear thrust forward, its shaft rotating like an unstoppable wheel of rules, the tip trembling slightly as it aimed for the enemy.

The three-eyed creature simply reached out with a furry paw to grab the spear shaft. Yet, despite the spear’s relentless rotation, the creature failed to secure a firm grip. The tip pierced through thick fur and hide, embedding slightly into its flesh.

“He can hurt me? Second Brother, didn’t you say his attacks were weak?” the three-eyed creature roared.

The black-scaled monster now bore eleven small holes in its chest armor, which were rapidly healing. It bellowed in response, “How should I know? His spear technique’s power has increased dramatically—enough to wound me! But these minor injuries mean nothing. Kill him quickly!”

While his two avatars managed to land some blows on the Second and Third Leaders, the outcome was different against the Great Leader.

The Great Leader stood motionless in the void, his golden wings folded. His dark yellow eyes flicked toward the attacking black-clothed Dongbo Xueying—and instantly, a green lightning bolt pierced into the Void World, striking the avatar. No spear technique could block this eerie lightning, and the avatar vanished instantly.

Yet, the moment one avatar was destroyed, another black-clothed Dongbo Xueying materialized in the distance.

Avatars were formed using the power of the Void World through the *Three Thousand Avatars* technique, requiring only a thought. Since they relied on external energy rather than his own, their strength was limited—comparable to weaker Overlords, far inferior to his true body.

Seeing another avatar appear, the Great Leader narrowed his eyes. “This True God Overlord is formidable. He hasn’t revealed his true body even once—only these avatars. And his method of manifesting them is incredibly refined. Ordinary avatars are condensed from internal energy, but his seem to draw from external sources. That’s why we can’t locate his true form.”

For Void Gods, avatars were typically formed from their own Void God energy. If destroyed, they’d need to expend more energy to recreate them—allowing enemies to track their true body’s location through the process.

But Dongbo Xueying was different. His avatars were forged from the Void World’s power, making his true body impossible to pinpoint.

“If he can manifest avatars with a single thought, his true body must be nearby,” the Great Leader mused.

A Chaos Realm powerhouse might project avatars across vast distances, but this black-clothed youth was merely a True God Overlord. His ability to instantly summon avatars meant his true body had to be close.

And indeed, Dongbo Xueying’s true body was hidden within the Void World’s range—yet his enemies couldn’t find him.

“We must locate him. Otherwise, destroying avatars is pointless,” the Great Leader growled in frustration.

“Boom!”

He unleashed his rule domain, filling the surrounding space with countless black lightning bolts. Though individually weaker than the single green lightning, their sheer numbers allowed them to sweep through the Void World’s interior.

Yet even after scouring the area, the Great Leader found nothing.

“How do we find him? Where is he hiding? He can’t be far,” the Great Leader muttered, growing increasingly vexed.

He wasn’t a practitioner of the esoteric “Sorcerer” path, nor the profound Rule-Oriented system, nor any other specialized cultivation method. His was the simplest and most direct—the Devouring Path. This system focused solely on consuming and transforming to grow stronger, but it lacked finesse in combat.

Finding Dongbo Xueying in hiding was nearly impossible!

Between the Void World, Void Concealment, and the Golden Disciple’s stealth talisman—even someone as formidable as Bloodblade Divine Emperor would struggle to locate him.

While the Great Leader floundered, Dongbo Xueying immersed himself in comprehending the First Sword of Annihilation. Over fifty million years of study, combined with real combat, accelerated his insights. Practical experience was the best teacher. If he had continued secluded cultivation, it might have taken him millions more years to grasp the technique fully. But now, with battle as his guide, progress came swiftly.

“Big Brother, this Overlord is growing stronger!” the three-eyed creature bellowed, its body now bearing three gaping wounds. “Hurry up and act!”

Dongbo Xueying’s spear strikes had stabilized at three perforations—proof that he was nearing full mastery of the First Sword of Annihilation.

Even now, he held his own against the Second and Third Leaders.

“Destroying avatars is meaningless unless we find his true body,” the Great Leader snapped. Still, he shot another green lightning bolt toward the avatar—only this time, Dongbo Xueying blocked it.

His spear spun with an uncanny grace, its tip infused with profound Slaughter Dao mysteries. The technique forcibly dispersed the lightning, leaving only residual sparks that failed to annihilate the avatar.

“His strength really has increased,” the Great Leader muttered, growing anxious.

Meanwhile, Dongbo Xueying’s true body reflected on the spear technique that had shattered the lightning. “The Slaughter Dao must be more deeply concealed, not so overtly displayed…” Each battle provided feedback, refining his approach. He could feel it—the First Sword of Annihilation was within reach.
