The number of cultivators who can reach the ultimate level of ‘Cosmic God’ is exceedingly rare. In any Sacred World, the Cosmic Gods can be counted on one’s fingers, and the Mother Goddess Realm has only the Mother Goddess herself. The silver-haired, golden-horned figure was none other than ‘Gu Qi,’ one of the two Cosmic Gods of the Voidwalker lineage, while the other was the ‘Void Primogenitor,’ the founder of the Voidwalker lineage.
Back then, Gu Qi left his legacy in Dongbo Xueying’s home universe, and after undergoing trials, Dongbo Xueying also cultivated the Voidwalker lineage.
It was precisely because of his achievements in the Voidwalker lineage that he possessed the foundation to comprehend the four diagrams left behind by the Ninecloud Emperor, glimpse the faintly existing higher-level world, and even master ultra-long-distance teleportation!
“His cultivation time is relatively short, yet he can overpower Lei Yan, haha…” The silver-haired, golden-horned man was excited and proud, but for a moment, he couldn’t find anyone to share his joy with.
“Master.”
The silver-haired, golden-horned man directly sent a mental transmission.
*Hum.*
A figure materialized, taking the form of a black-robed man with green hair and striking purple eyes. His entire being seemed ethereal, as if one with the world itself. He casually walked over and sat on a stone stool nearby. “Gu Qi, what is it?”
This green-haired man was none other than the Void Primogenitor, a being who truly loved and pitied all living creatures and despised demons the most.
“You know, my disciple—Dongbo Xueying…” the silver-haired, golden-horned man began eagerly.
“You called me just for this?” The Void Primogenitor was slightly taken aback.
“This is a big deal! My only disciple!” Gu Qi glared.
The Void Primogenitor sighed helplessly. “Gu Qi, right now, the Sacred Master is sparing no effort to kill you. If not for the Ancestral Witch’s full protection, you’d still be running for your life.”
The Sacred Master’s fury was boundless, and he was determined to kill Gu Qi!
Under his relentless pursuit, neither the Eastscale Sacred World nor the Sevenstar Sea Sacred World could offer refuge. Although the Realm Primogenitor was powerful, unless Gu Qi stayed by his side at all times, there was no safety. In the end, only the ‘Ancestral Witch’ could help. The Ancestral Witch’s mastery of formations was unmatched among the ultimate existences, and with his full assistance, Gu Qi could at least live some peaceful days.
Of course, Gu Qi had to pay a price—he had to assist the Ancestral Witch in certain void-related experiments.
“What can I do if he wants to kill me?” Gu Qi leisurely poured wine for himself and his master. “At worst, I’ll lose my life. I’ve traveled countless places, witnessed countless sights, met countless experts, and even made the Sacred Master stumble before me. Haha! And now, I have the most formidable disciple among all the Unity realm cultivators across the three Sacred Worlds. Tsk tsk, this life has been worth it.”
“Your disciple and Lei Yan are roughly on par. His offense is slightly stronger, but Lei Yan has a significant advantage in physical resilience. Right now, he can’t be called the strongest Unity realm cultivator in the three Sacred Worlds,” the Void Primogenitor remarked casually.
“How long has he been cultivating? Just wait—he’ll be number one soon,” Gu Qi said smugly.
The Void Primogenitor watched Gu Qi’s still-triumphant expression and sighed inwardly. Even in the face of the Sacred Master’s wrath, this disciple remained so carefree.
*If only I could advance one more step, Gu Qi wouldn’t have to flee for his life. In the end, it’s because I, his master, am not strong enough.* The Void Primogenitor thought silently. His attainments in the void were supreme—after the Ninecloud Emperor’s death, he was the most accomplished in the void. If he could reach the second level, his mastery of the void would allow him to confront the Sacred Master head-on.
Back then, even the Sacred Master had to expend immense effort to kill the Ninecloud Emperor, culminating in the shattering of the Primordial Sacred World, which left the Ninecloud Emperor grievously wounded before his final demise.
Even now, though the Sacred Master suspected that the Ninecloud Emperor’s treasure was hidden somewhere in the spacetime around the ‘Ninecloud Continent,’ he still couldn’t find it!
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” the Void Primogenitor said.
“Master, stay and drink with me,” Gu Qi pleaded helplessly. “My only disciple being this strong is one of the rare joys in my fugitive life. But I dare not speak of it too much, lest the Sacred Master vent his anger on Xueying. So, I can only share this with you.”
“Fine, fine. If it makes you happy, I’ll stay for a few more cups,” the Void Primogenitor relented with a shake of his head.

**Sevenstar Sea Sacred World, Voidsky Palace.**
Dongbo Xueying had already returned to Voidsky Palace. The ‘Evil Eye Palace Master’ had been handed over to the Demon Primogenitor for punishment, while negotiations with the Ancestral Witch’s faction were left to the higher-ups of Voidsky Palace.
Conflicts arising from grudges and various forms of torture and punishment had occurred many times before. Since the three Sacred Worlds stood united against the two major sects, they maintained certain boundaries. Even those like the Void Primogenitor and the Radiant Sovereign, who loathed evil, could only endure the great fiends under the Realm Primogenitor and Ancestral Witch’s factions, at most subjecting them to severe punishment and torment to make them suffer.
*Boom—!*
Dongbo Xueying was sent flying, crashing through mountain after mountain as the towering peaks collapsed in succession.
Eight figures clad in blood-red armor—the Destruction Fiends—stood imposingly in midair.
“I heard Lei Yan slew most of the Destruction Fiends when he challenged the seventh level. I’ve only killed two, and I’m already struggling.” Blood-colored energy seeped into Dongbo Xueying’s body, corroding even the black scales covering his skin. He stared at the eight Destruction Fiends in the distance. *At least in terms of clearing the Star Tower, I’m still not Lei Yan’s match.*
*But then again…*
*Lei Yan’s physical resilience is extraordinary. Against the corrosive ‘Destruction Energy’ of these fiends, he can endure far longer than I can. He can outlast them one by one, exhausting and slaying more Destruction Fiends.*
Dongbo Xueying understood this clearly.
In terms of offense, his ‘Heavenly Punishment Blades’ were slightly inferior to the Thunderfire techniques of the Thunderfire Tower Master. However, thanks to his cultivation in the ‘Vermilion Nightmare Legacy,’ his soul was immensely powerful, allowing him to unleash over a dozen Heavenly Punishment Blades—quantity compensating for quality! This gave him a slight edge in offense.
If not for his vastly superior soul strength, he would not only be physically weaker but also offensively outmatched.
*To clear the seventh level, I need to grow even stronger.* Dongbo Xueying marveled. Historically, the six great Holy Lands had only produced two who cleared the seventh level. And according to the Black Emperor, during his Unity realm days, the synergy of his four legacies had also granted him seventh-level strength. Those who could clear the seventh level of the Star Tower in the Unity realm were all freaks of nature.
After all, the seventh level of the Star Tower was considered respectable even among Chaos realm overlords—figures like the Heavenweep Sect Master belonged to this tier.
“Dongbo Xueying, come here at once.” The voice of Patriarch Tianyu echoed through the seventh-level space of the Star Tower.
“Yes, Patriarch.” Dongbo Xueying responded immediately.
—
With the Star Tower’s artifact spirit assisting him, Dongbo Xueying swiftly purged the Destruction Energy within his body and hurried to Patriarch Tianyu’s usual residence—a modest courtyard.
“Patriarch.” Dongbo Xueying encountered no obstacles as he arrived before the patriarch.
Patriarch Tianyu was leisurely fishing in a small lake within the courtyard, its waters barely a few dozen zhang wide, teeming with visible fish.
“Slaying some of the Destruction Fiends on the seventh level of the Star Tower is already commendable,” Patriarch Tianyu praised with a smile.
“Yes.” Dongbo Xueying nodded.
He understood the patriarch’s meaning.
The seventh level originally featured ten Destruction Fiends working in unison—their attacks and defenses synchronized, making them immensely powerful. If one’s offense was lacking, breaking through their combined defenses would be impossible. The fact that Dongbo Xueying could forcibly breach their formation and slay two fiends proved that he had indeed touched the threshold of seventh-level strength. With further progress, he might one day eliminate them all.
“Stay humble and patient. Progress will come in time.” Patriarch Tianyu held high expectations for Dongbo Xueying before adding, “By the way, I summoned you because your master has prepared a gift for you.”
“Oh?” Dongbo Xueying was taken aback. “My master?”
“Gu Qi,” Patriarch Tianyu said.
