Dongbo Xueying could feel that despite their rapid flight, when he turned his head, the Heartworld Continent of the Source World still appeared incredibly close behind them! But that was only because the Heartworld Continent was so vast. The location of their battle was still influenced by the power of the Heartworld Continent. However, as they flew at high speed, he could sense the concentration of Hunyuan energy continuously increasing—far surpassing the levels he had utilized during his cultivation.
Fortunately, the Qinghe Spear allowed him to manipulate the Hunyuan energy, parting it like a path, minimizing the erosion he suffered.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Dongbo Xueying moved at blinding speed, pursuing relentlessly without holding back.
The Undying Netherlord, on the other hand, was purely desperate, frantically diving deeper into the void. Yet, his body gradually began to change color, turning ashen.
“He can’t hold on much longer,” Dongbo Xueying thought with a surge of triumph.
“So soon? I can’t believe he’s already faltering. The injuries from our battle within the Heartworld Continent must have been too severe. If my body were intact, I could have lasted much longer!” The Undying Netherlord’s mind flashed through countless scenes—his rise from weakness, his dominance in the earliest days of the Heartworld Continent. He had once been dazzling, striking fear into countless experts, seen as the embodiment of death itself. His strength had even earned him the favor of ‘Meta.’ Confident, he had embarked on the path to becoming a Hunyuan lifeform.
He had left his homeland.
Only then did he realize—there were heavens beyond heavens, geniuses beyond geniuses. He had failed, just like the vast majority of civilization’s elites. Some had perished, others had even been exiled. That he had managed to escape back was already a stroke of luck.
“And upon returning, I encountered this monstrous Emperor Flying Snow. Putting aside everything else, his soul techniques are truly the most terrifying I’ve ever seen.” The Undying Netherlord stared at Dongbo Xueying, suddenly grinning. His ashen, decaying face twisted into a smile that sent a chill down Dongbo Xueying’s spine—he sensed something was coming.
Whoosh!
Dark light swirled around the Undying Netherlord as he abruptly vanished, fleeing at breakneck speed.
“Running? At this point, you still think you can escape?” Though the Undying Netherlord’s body was already on the brink of collapse from erosion, his escape technique shielded him from further damage. If he truly got away, he might yet survive.
Whoosh.
Dongbo Xueying instantly activated the Great Void Shattering Teleportation Technique to pursue. Having reached the Ultimate realm, he could now perform this technique with his physical body.
“Whoosh!”
Tracking the Undying Netherlord’s position, he closed the distance in an instant.
Between the two escape techniques, the Void Path’s Great Void Shattering Teleportation was undeniably faster.
“Die.” The moment he caught up, Dongbo Xueying’s spear lashed out, striking the Undying Netherlord and blasting him out of the teleportation channel. Any attack during such a technique would disrupt it!
Dongbo Xueying himself emerged from the channel as well.
“Hissss!!!”
Though he had prepared and used the Qinghe Spear to manipulate the surrounding Hunyuan energy as much as possible, the density here was terrifying.
Even though the teleportation had lasted only a blink, the distance covered was thousands of times greater than their initial chase. Previously, they had still been close to the Heartworld Continent. Now, they were far beyond it. Despite the Qinghe Spear’s aid, the Hunyuan energy here felt unbearably heavy—thousands of times denser than before. The overwhelming force battered his body and soul. His flesh rapidly deteriorated under the erosion, his skin visibly turning ashen, the decay seeping inward. His soul, however, fared slightly better.
“In this environment, even with the Qinghe Spear, my body can only last a single breath.”
“My soul can endure dozens of breaths.”
Dongbo Xueying understood this immediately.
Whoosh.
He lunged forward, his spear extending as he thrust it straight through the Undying Netherlord’s chest. The Undying Netherlord, already on the verge of collapse before his escape attempt, now found his body disintegrating in the intensified Hunyuan energy. He had no strength left to resist as his form shattered completely.
Boom! Even as the spear pierced him, the Undying Netherlord’s gaze remained fixed on Dongbo Xueying. Then, his body dissolved into nothingness within the Hunyuan space. His robes, tattered from the erosion, revealed his storage treasures, which also crumbled, spilling their contents. Most items rapidly decayed, but a few withstood the Hunyuan energy’s onslaught—rare materials, the corpse of a Hunyuan lifeform, and the Undying Netherlord’s crown, his supreme treasure: the Crown of Death.
“Whoosh.”
Dongbo Xueying waved a hand, using spatial manipulation to gather the items, while his other hand seized the Crown of Death.
He glanced down at it.
Here is the translation in a Fantasy style:
This was the legendary artifact that had earned the Undying Netherlord his dread reputation throughout the realms – irrefutable proof of his demise. Possessing this relic would elevate the wielder’s aura of terror to unprecedented heights. If even the Undying Netherlord could be vanquished, what hope remained for lesser demons of the abyss?
Key fantasy elements incorporated:
1. “Legendary artifact” instead of “treasure” for more mystical feel
2. “Realms” instead of “world” to suggest multiple dimensions
3. “Relic” to emphasize ancient power
4. “Aura of Terror” for a more vivid and fantastical depiction than mere “intimidation.”
5. “Demons of the abyss” as more fantastical than “fiends”
6. Added “unprecedented” and “what hope remained” for dramatic emphasis
7. Maintained the original Chinese name “Undying Netherlord” as proper noun capitalization
The translation preserves all original meaning while enhancing the dark fantasy atmosphere with more evocative vocabulary and phrasing typical of epic fantasy narratives.
“Whoosh!”
Dongbo Xueying immediately activated the Great Void Shattering Teleportation Technique, racing back toward the distant Heartworld Continent.
In just moments, his skin and parts of his muscles had turned ashen—the erosion was terrifyingly swift.
…
Emperor Xia, the Wanderer, the Infinite City Lord, and a handful of other invincible existences had witnessed the chase between Dongbo Xueying and the Undying Netherlord just beyond the Heartworld Continent. But when the Undying Netherlord’s body turned ashen and he fled deeper into the Hunyuan space, they could no longer follow.
“The Undying Netherlord’s body can’t withstand the erosion any longer.”
“Emperor Flying Snow actually pursued him?”
They watched in shock as Dongbo Xueying teleported after him.
“He’s truly determined to kill the Undying Netherlord this time!”
“But this is reckless. Even though they were chasing near the Heartworld Continent, a single teleportation would take them far deeper into the Hunyuan space. The erosion there is far deadlier. Given the Undying Netherlord’s condition, the slightest disruption would ensure his demise.”
“But can Emperor Flying Snow return alive?”
“Though he has many clones, this one possesses a Hunyuan divine weapon!”
Emperor Xia and the others tensed.
Their shared vision allowed other invincible existences—such as Emperor Cang, Patriarch Fan, and the Swordmaster—to witness the events as well.
Their reactions were mixed.
On one hand, they marveled at Emperor Flying Snow’s power. To corner the once-untouchable Undying Netherlord, even mastering tracking techniques that left him no escape—such prowess meant no invincible existence was safe. Even those with countless clones could be hunted down, leaving only those hidden in other Source Worlds to survive.
Such formidable deterrence would shake the very foundations of the world. Not merely fiends, but even invincible entities would tremble beneath its overwhelming pressure.
“Emperor Flying Snow’s strength is one thing, but his ability to track and prevent escape is what truly terrifies,” Emperor Xia mused. “Before, even an ordinary Ultimate could wreak havoc, simply because hiding made them untraceable. The only one capable of tracking, the Infinite City Lord, refused to intervene.”
“But Emperor Flying Snow possesses both the power to kill and the means to track. There’s no running from him.”
“Though lacking his Hunyuan divine weapon, his aura of intimidation would wane.”
Emperor Xia added, “This pursuit was still reckless.”
Dongbo Xueying had only dared to chase because the erosion near the Heartworld Continent was manageable.
“Yet Emperor Flying Snow rarely acts without certainty,” Patriarch Fan countered. “When he planned to besiege the Undying Netherlord before, he held back because he couldn’t secure the Infinite City Lord’s aid. If he pursued now, he must have some confidence.”
“If he slays the Undying Netherlord and returns with the Hunyuan divine weapon, the entire Heartworld Continent will tremble!” Emperor Cang exclaimed. “None would dare defy him.”
“Indeed,” Emperor Xia agreed. At that point, even he would lack the confidence to resist Emperor Flying Snow within his own capital.
And if Emperor Xia felt this way, the other invincible existences would stand no chance in their own strongholds.
“Hmm?”
“What’s this—”
Every invincible existence and countless Cosmic Gods across the Heartworld Continent sensed it simultaneously. Countless Skygazing Mirrors turned toward the source of the terrifying disturbance.
BOOM!!!
A figure blasted through the Source World’s membrane, tearing open a massive dark rift hundreds of meters wide before emerging.
Clad in white robes, Dongbo Xueying held the Qinghe Spear in one hand and the Crown of Death in the other.
“The crown? The Crown of Death?”
“That’s the Undying Netherlord’s supreme treasure!”
Seeing Emperor Flying Snow return with both the spear and the crown, the invincible existences shuddered. Their hopes that he might lose the Qinghe Spear were dashed. None wanted a figure capable of threatening their lives looming over them.
As for the Cosmic Gods, the sight of the Crown of Death sent waves of shock through them.
They all understood.
The supreme treasure of the Undying Netherlord was now in Dongbo Xueying’s grasp. The Undying Netherlord’s fate was sealed.
“He’s back! He’s back!” In the Southcloud Nation, Lord Southcloud, Old Mother Yingshan, and others rejoiced.
“Terrifying.”
“The Undying Netherlord is finally dead! Finally!!!”
The entire Heartworld Continent trembled with the implications.
In the Black Devil Abyss, the Demonlord of Yanmo sighed as he watched the white-robed figure holding the spear and crown on the Skygazing Mirror. “From this day forth, the Heartworld Continent enters a new era—the era of Emperor Flying Snow. An era with no place for fiends.”
