Lost in a sudden epiphany, flashes of inspiration continuously emerged. This unique illusory realm was constantly being perfected, with countless profound rules merging into it. Never before had Dongbo Xueying’s Void Illusion techniques been so intricate! This time, his profound accumulation and the insights gained from the illusory structures within those mysterious eyes plunged him into a fervent state of creation…
This state of enlightenment lasted a full hundred thousand years, until that colossal illusory realm took complete form within his mind.
“Hum.”
A hazy, disc-shaped illusory world manifested within his consciousness.
It was beautiful, dazzling.
Its very existence even caused Dongbo Xueying’s soul to naturally grow more condensed. After absorbing the ‘Heartblood of the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Dragon Mother,’ his soul had progressed for the first time.
The ‘Void Illusion Dao’ was also a path of the soul!
Its advancement signified a deeper understanding of the soul’s essence, and such comprehension naturally led to the soul’s metamorphosis.
“I… I actually created such an illusory world?” Dongbo Xueying marveled as he sensed the illusory world formed by condensed rules within his consciousness, both awed and incredulous. “Did I truly create this?”
Perfection.
At this moment, Dongbo Xueying’s soul faintly resonated with a sense of completion. His soul and flesh nourished each other, and his body even felt as if it were slowly strengthening.
“In the past, it was always the body nurturing the soul. But now, I can feel my soul influencing my body, making it stronger?” Dongbo Xueying was utterly astonished. Before this, his body had been unable to progress further, having already reached the pinnacle of physical refinement through the ‘Hunyuan Inquiry’ created by the Xia Emperor and his own supreme secret techniques, rivaling even the ultimate realm of body-refining cultivators.
Yet now, his body was advancing once more.
This time, it was due to his soul.
“The illusory world I’ve created this time even carries a hint of perfection.” Dongbo Xueying sighed in amazement, though he understood this was merely a faint sensation.
It was only by absorbing the wondrous structures of the illusory realms within the ‘gray eyes’ and ‘golden eyes’ that he had managed to craft such an illusory world.
“If the Void Illusion Dao reaches its ultimate state, my soul will likely achieve true perfection.” Dongbo Xueying had an epiphany. At this moment, he faintly sensed that state of completion—like glimpsing flowers through mist. He could vaguely perceive that realm. Once his soul attained perfection, it would undoubtedly undergo many miraculous transformations.
…
Beneath the Heart-Searing Divine Tree.
Dongbo Xueying sat cross-legged, his emotions surging with anticipation for ‘soul perfection.’ Yet he remained composed: “In the path of the soul, I have already reached the very peak of the entire Heart Realm Continent. Moreover, I have discerned the direction and even touched upon perfection. With enough time, I will undoubtedly reach the ultimate state. Without fail!”
That time when he saved countless beings, freeing them from the Holy Lord’s control and restoring their souls to liberty, was when he first glimpsed the path.
Now, he had taken another step forward, touching perfection itself.
Even more, by drawing upon the insights from the mysterious eyes, he had created an unprecedented illusory killing technique.
“This world… is too beautiful.”
Unable to resist, Dongbo Xueying willed a change.
His internal ‘Void Universe’ immediately transformed, reconstructing itself according to the newly comprehended illusory world. As its creator, a single thought reshaped the Void Universe, triggering a monumental expansion. The flow of time within it accelerated further, and countless lifeforms within flourished, cultivated, and thrived, with prodigies emerging one after another.
“This illusory world… I can’t help but feel the urge to step into it myself,” Dongbo Xueying mused silently.
“This illusory realm technique shall be called…”
“**Illusory World—Resplendence!**” Dongbo Xueying declared inwardly.
A world so dazzling, so all-encompassing, that even lofty Cosmic Deities would be ensnared within.
…
The Floating Peaks of the Broken Tooth Mountains—another floating island.
Dongbo Xueying flew alone across the island, his vast and resplendent illusory world already enveloping the surroundings, spanning a staggering three hundred million miles. That it could maintain such an immense range despite the suppression of the floating island spoke volumes of the power of his current illusory technique.
As for the true might of this first killing technique born from his Void Illusion Dao, even Dongbo Xueying himself could not fully gauge it.
He could vaguely sense that it had reached the third-tier level of power.
Moreover, it carried a hint of perfection! Its true potency, however, would only be verified through actual combat.
“Who is that? Why… why are so many Deathblight creatures floating around him?” A powerful Deathblight being, observing from afar, spotted a white-robed youth surrounded by slumbering members of its kind.
Three hundred million miles was an enormous range.
Those floating near Dongbo Xueying had all fallen prey to his illusory realm, succumbing before they could even detect his presence.
This particular Deathblight being was the first to notice him, spotting the scene from high above, billions of miles away.
“Whoosh.”
The winged Deathblight creature, enraged, instantly teleported toward Dongbo Xueying.
Then—*plop*—it too fell into slumber, drifting beside him.
And so it went…
Until Dongbo Xueying arrived at the heart of their territory.
“Hum!”
The entire Deathblight domain spanned roughly a billion miles, and Dongbo Xueying’s illusory realm now covered nearly half of it. Upon contact with the illusion, the Deathblight creatures collapsed in droves, sinking into deep slumber without any resistance. Those outside the range of the illusion, witnessing their kin falling one after another, panicked and rushed to awaken their ‘King.’
“Who dares invade our domain?!” The King—a massive, four-legged beast with enormous black wings—roared, its crimson eyes fixed on Dongbo Xueying. Its towering, mountain-like frame exuded overwhelming majesty.
Around Dongbo Xueying floated tens of thousands of Deathblight creatures, though he had shown restraint, merely trapping even the mindless ones within his illusion.
“King of the Deathblight, I come with no ill intent,” Dongbo Xueying spoke calmly, deliberately stalling for time. His domain was vast enough that he had already located the gray eye atop a peculiar plant on this floating island.
He observed and memorized its structure.
“No ill intent? Yet you control so many of my kin?” the King growled, though it remained wary, unable to discern the white-robed youth’s true strength.
Indeed.
In the past, the Deathblight creatures could at least sense Dongbo Xueying’s second-tier Cosmic Deity aura.
But now, with this terrifying illusion perpetually active, to them, Dongbo Xueying himself seemed like part of the illusion—utterly imperceptible.
The sight of tens of thousands of Deathblight creatures floating around him unsettled even the King, who was far from invincible.
Among the Eight Great Sages of the Hunyuan Lifeforms.
And the Primordial Tribes, who boasted existences at the ‘Supreme’ level—this King, though highly intelligent, was not omnipotent. While it scorned the pleas of the weak, it treaded carefully around the strong.
“They are not dead, merely asleep. I came only to gather some materials,” Dongbo Xueying continued, all the while committing the gray eye’s illusory structure to memory. Soon, he had fully recorded it. Though he had already created his first killing technique, it still paled in comparison to the illusions within the mysterious eyes.
“Ah, one more thing,” Dongbo Xueying said, eyeing the vigilant King in the distance. “There’s something important I must do.”
The King rumbled, “I have already permitted you to take one material and leave. What more do you want?”
“To test my strength against yours,” Dongbo Xueying replied with a smile.
“A duel?”
The King, having restrained itself thus far, finally erupted in fury.
Deathblight creatures were not known for their patience. It had tolerated this mysterious youth only out of caution, willing to part with some insignificant materials to see him gone. But now, he sought battle?
“You seek death!!!” The massive, winged beast roared, lunging at Dongbo Xueying with terrifying speed.
Boom—
The illusory realm, deliberately compressed until now, suddenly expanded, engulfing the King.
The King’s crimson eyes widened in shock, flickering with struggle—before its wings drooped limply, its gaze dimmed, and its colossal body floated motionless in the air, ensnared in slumber.
Dongbo Xueying exhaled in relief. “It actually worked? If it hadn’t, that single swipe would have crushed me…”
He had come prepared for his avatar’s destruction, testing his limits.
But the result was clear—at least on this floating island, he had swept through everything. Even the King had fallen.
