The translucent bird-headed figure instantly grew furious. This scrawny old man before him wasn’t in a hurry to kill immediately but waited until he appeared to strike—clearly a deliberate slap to his face. Moreover, among the endless chaotic void, he had only taken these two disciples. He had been quite fond of his younger disciple, the ‘Crimson-Browed Mountain Master,’ as their temperaments aligned perfectly.
“You, an outsider, no matter how strong you are in this chaotic void, your power is suppressed to the Chaos Realm. A mere Chaos Realm dares stand before me and demand my respect?” The scrawny old man, Stone Freak, sneered. “If Yuan or City Lord Luo came to ask, I’d naturally oblige. But you? You expect me to show you face?”
“Hmph.” The bird-headed figure seethed. “No matter how strong you are, you’re confined to this single Source World, unable to leave. And yet you dare look down on me?”
He was enraged.
Mastering the Great Shattered Void Teleportation Technique, he could traverse other Source Worlds, granting him vast experience and countless secret arts. Normally, beings of his level would seek his goodwill, exchanging profound techniques. Never had he expected this old man to so blatantly disrespect him.
“Scram!” Stone Freak suddenly roared.
Boom!
A terrifying black energy erupted from his body, crushing outward. The bird-headed figure had no time to flee before being obliterated—though this was merely a clone. As the master of the Myriad Realms Tower, he too possessed countless avatars.
“Daring to put on airs in my domain? Just an outsider.” Stone Freak’s eyes gleamed with cold disdain.
Both the Sacred Master and he were native to this chaotic void.
They could unleash their full power here. An outsider, even of equal cultivation, would be pathetically weak in this world.
“Sigh.”
After venting his fury through relentless battles and slaughter, Stone Freak now sighed. No matter what, his favored disciple, Dongbo Xueying, was dead. All the opportunities he had prepared for him had come to nothing—wasted effort.
“Time to sleep. I’ll wake when this chaotic void nears its Great Destruction.” Stone Freak felt listless.
“Cough, cough.”
He coughed twice. The Sacred Master’s all-out strike had indeed wounded his origin.
“That demon spawn is vicious. And his true body remains unscathed. But his Ancient Sacred Avatar’s reserves are exhausted—he won’t stir again until the void nears destruction.” Stone Freak shook his head and vanished with a step.
At the Primordial Solar Star.
An enormous black figure appeared atop the colossal fireball, slowly sinking into its depths to begin a deep slumber. Healing and cultivation would come in that sleep.

Dongbo Yu and Dongbo Qingyao sat in stunned silence.
The news was too much to bear. Their father, with his immense power, had once ventured into the chaotic void as a mere True God Dominator and survived. Now, at a realm where he could face Cosmic Gods head-on, he had fallen—to the Sacred Master, no less. The very being who single-handedly rivaled all other Cosmic Gods combined.
Though hatred burned in their hearts, the siblings felt powerless. They lacked their father’s monstrous talent. Even reaching the Chaos Realm seemed uncertain.
“Such is the path of cultivation—filled with trials and obstacles. Your father simply couldn’t overcome this one,” Yu Jingqiu said. “But I’m proud of him. Facing the Sacred Master, he neither begged nor bowed. You two must cultivate diligently from now on. There will be no one left to shield you.”
“Yes.”
Dongbo Yu and Dongbo Qingyao nodded.
Yu Jingqiu suddenly froze as an image appeared in her mind—the visage of the World Ancestor. “Yu Jingqiu, your husband, Dongbo Xueying, was meant to become my junior brother. A pity. But my master has already clashed with the Sacred Master, severely wounding him. He also slew the Crimson-Browed Mountain Master. Tend well to Dongbo Xueying’s children. If trouble arises, seek me.” With that, the World Ancestor’s phantom faded.
“The Crimson-Browed Mountain Master is dead?” Yu Jingqiu was stunned.
The Sacred Master couldn’t kill him, but the World Ancestor’s master did?
The World Ancestor had a master? One who wounded the Sacred Master? Countless questions swirled in her mind. Yet the World Ancestor’s promise of aid made her realize her husband’s lingering influence.
Unbeknownst to her, even the Sacred Master now regretted this battle—his losses were too great. He would lie low for a long time.
—
Regardless, within the chaotic void, the name Dongbo Xueying had vanished. The stage no longer held his presence.
—
“Boom.”
Though Dongbo Xueying trusted Yuan’s methods and doubted the supreme being would stoop to schemes, he remained wary until the very end.
Once the Heart Realm Token’s energy was activated.
A wisp of his true spirit, encased in the token’s power, shot out of the chaotic void in an instant. With only this fragile memory-bearing fragment left, his perception of the outside world was faint. Even as he left the void and entered the tumultuous energies beyond, he could barely sense the overwhelming currents—forces so terrifying he knew even his full body would be annihilated instantly.
Whoosh.
Guided by the token’s energy, he raced along an esoteric passage.
Time blurred. Was it days? Months? Years? In this bizarre conduit, even his sense of time grew indistinct—or perhaps time itself held no meaning here.
Occasionally, he sensed colossal fluctuations, rivaling the chaotic void, only to rush past them.
On and on it went.
The token’s energy steadily depleted—90%, 80%, 70%, 60%…
“Ah! This is—!” Dongbo Xueying suddenly stirred with excitement. He sensed an immense, terrifying fluctuation—not fleeting, but rapidly approaching.
“Nearly half the energy consumed. The Heart Realm Continent must be near. That mysterious senior ‘Yuan’ could send me this far—his power is truly unfathomable.” Dongbo Xueying grew more convinced of Yuan’s claims.
Boom!
As the fluctuation loomed closer, his wisp of true spirit crashed into it. Shielded by the token’s energy, he plunged into this vast world, swiftly merging with a nascent embryo. The vitality within astonished him.
“An unborn embryo with such terrifying life force?” Before he could ponder further, his consciousness fused with it. A thunderous roar echoed in his true spirit, and darkness swallowed him.
