“No choice left, only survival through death!” The Undying Nether Emperor gritted his teeth. Though reluctant, he knew that once his heart’s blood was fully consumed, Dongbo Xueying would gain an overwhelming advantage, leaving him no choice at all.
Boom! Boom!
A pair of golden palms resisted the terrifying spear, shattering the night sky around them. Countless dark fissures split open, revealing glimpses of the ‘Hunyuan Space’ beyond. Wisps of Hunyuan energy seeped through the cracks—a higher-dimensional realm where only beings of greater existence could truly dwell.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, the Undying Nether Emperor plunged through the torn fissure into the Hunyuan Space.
“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying’s expression shifted, but he didn’t hesitate either. In a flash, he too shot into the Hunyuan Space.
“What?!”
“The Undying Nether Emperor fled into the Hunyuan Space, and the Flying Snow Emperor chased after him? Neither used the Great Shattering Teleportation—just forced their way in? Do they have a death wish?”
“One fleeing, one pursuing, both charging into the Hunyuan Space? I thought those who haven’t transcended their shackles would be corroded by Hunyuan energy and perish?”
“What do you know? The Undying Nether Emperor’s strength surpasses even ordinary invincible existences. The Flying Snow Emperor is even more formidable. At their level, they might survive briefly in the Hunyuan Space!”
The spectators across the Heart Realm Continent were stunned.
Actively charging into the Hunyuan Space?
Clearly, this wasn’t suicide.
This defied their understanding. To ordinary Cosmic Gods, unless one possessed special escape techniques, entering the Hunyuan Space with one’s physical body was certain death.
“The Flying Snow Emperor’s determination to kill the Undying Nether Emperor is truly unshakable,” the Xia Emperor murmured from afar, sighing. He knew that venturing beyond the source world’s boundaries—without straying too far—allowed brief survival. His own Hunyuan Body Refinement technique harnessed Hunyuan energy to temper the flesh.
“What’s happening with them now?” the Fan Ancestor pressed urgently, unable to perceive the battle’s progress.
The Cang Emperor and Sword Master also turned to the Xia Emperor.
“Watch.” The Xia Emperor waved a hand, conjuring an image in midair—a scene unfolding within the Hunyuan Space.
The Undying Nether Emperor surged forward, parting the surrounding Hunyuan energy, while Dongbo Xueying, wielding the Qinghe Spear, pursued at an even greater speed!
…
Now, only a handful across the Heart Realm Continent could still witness the battle. Even most invincible existences had lost sight of it.
“Xueying!” In the Southcloud Nation, the Ying Mountain Matriarch grew frantic.
Charging into the Hunyuan Space?
“Reckless, far too reckless,” the Southcloud Monarch fretted. “Even if he kills the Undying Nether Emperor, if he falls in battle and his Hunyuan weapon is lost in that abyss, regret will come too late.”
On the Heart Realm Continent, invincible existences relied on supreme treasures. Dongbo Xueying’s current prowess owed much to his Hunyuan weapon, though his Illusory Realm techniques also played a role.
“No idea what’s happening.”
“Can’t see anything now.”
“They’ve entered the Hunyuan Space—no way to know the outcome.”
Many powerhouses were tense with anxiety.
This was the life-and-death struggle between the two most terrifying beings on the Heart Realm Continent. They desperately wanted to know the result.
…
Within the Hunyuan Space.
Boom!
Dongbo Xueying didn’t hesitate, following the black fissure straight into the Hunyuan Space.
After reaching the Ultimate realm, he spent six centuries consolidating his power. During that time, he’d attempted to create the third layer of his Hunyuan Body Refinement technique and ventured into the Hunyuan Space—a natural step at his level. His Qinghe Spear could blast open hundred-meter-wide voids, flooding the area with Hunyuan energy, making it little different from being in the Hunyuan Space itself.
He’d even sent avatars—unarmed—into the Hunyuan Space to acclimate.
Experience made his pursuit of the Undying Nether Emperor decisive.
Boom—
Another entry.
Despite his experience, the sight still awed him.
The ‘Void Path’ was unique, far more suited to perceiving the wonders of the Hunyuan Space than most other Daos. As Dongbo Xueying advanced, his Qinghe Spear parted the surrounding Hunyuan energy, though the endless force still brushed against his body, corroding it upon contact.
His flesh seemed intangible—Hunyuan energy pierced through his body, his soul, eroding as it passed.
But with the Qinghe Spear’s control and his Ultimate Void Path’s mastery over intangibility, he minimized the erosion. The sparse Hunyuan energy barely affected his refined physique, his natural recovery sufficient to endure.
Whoosh—
The Heart Realm Continent, a colossal source world, radiated boundless energy, its waves repelling the surrounding Hunyuan Space. Near the continent, the Hunyuan energy was thinner, diluted by the world’s influence. The farther one ventured, the darker and denser the energy became.
A source world’s power was immense.
Even for a Hunyuan lifeform, controlling one meant harnessing its full might—a staggering boost.
“He really followed.” The Undying Nether Emperor glanced back at Dongbo Xueying’s rapid pursuit, his expression grim. “Then come! To kill me, are you willing to sacrifice this avatar? Lose it, and your precious Hunyuan weapon is gone too.”
He surged forward, increasingly frantic.
Near the Heart Realm Continent, the Hunyuan energy was sparse, and the world’s supreme rules mitigated the erosion.
But as he pressed on, the darkness deepened, the energy thickened, relentlessly scouring his flesh and soul.
“You won’t escape!” A furious shout pierced the Hunyuan energy, reaching his ears.
A spear was already upon him.
“So fast!” The Undying Nether Emperor seethed with frustration. His past departure from the Heart Realm Continent had been enabled by a rare chance to tread the path of a Hunyuan lifeform—granted by ‘Yuan’—along with an escape technique. Over time, his fear of the Hunyuan Space had waned, and he’d ventured in repeatedly.
He had experience. He’d devised countermeasures.
He’d assumed that, even against a newly ascended Ultimate expert, he’d hold an edge in the Hunyuan Space—even if that expert specialized in the Void Path.
He was wrong.
First, Dongbo Xueying possessed *Hunyuan Inquiry*, the Xia Emperor’s body-refinement method using Hunyuan energy. He’d refined it further, even testing it in the Hunyuan Space. His Hunyuan-tempered body resisted the dense energy far better.
Second, the Void Path held unique advantages here. Whether minimizing erosion through intangibility or enhancing speed, it excelled where other Daos faltered.
Third, the Qinghe Spear’s control over Hunyuan energy prolonged Dongbo Xueying’s survival.
These factors combined ensured his swift pursuit.
Thud!
The spear smashed down.
The Undying Nether Emperor blocked with both hands, using the impact’s momentum to hurl himself deeper into the abyss, farther from the Heart Realm Continent.
“Come then! If you dare, follow me deeper into the Hunyuan Space!” he roared mid-flight, his gaze locked on Dongbo Xueying, madness burning in his eyes.
