Blood Sacrificing an entire city is a monumental event.
Just like when the “Blood Sacrifice of Firestorm City” occurred, the three sect leaders of the Black Demon Swamp observed from afar through the Heaven-Gazing Mirror. Powerful figures from various factions, such as the Southcloud King and Fan Tianchong, also received news and used the Heaven-Gazing Mirror to witness the event.
This time, the blood sacrifice of Fu Jun City has similarly drawn the attention of major powers.
The Six Great Ancient Kingdoms, for instance, have specialized experts tasked with monitoring all significant disturbances across the continent. Other major factions also have their own observers.
“It’s that mysterious man again.”
“He’s reappeared and wiped out another squad from the Zhanba Island faction. Does he have a grudge against the Zhanba Island Master? Why does he always target them?”
“Hmph, there must be enmity between them! It can’t be coincidence that he just happens to be in the city during two consecutive blood sacrifices. Even if he was present both times, would he really be so ruthless as to slaughter all of Zhanba Island’s forces?”
The observers from various factions watched from afar, casually discussing the situation. At this point, they remained calm and relaxed.
After all, they knew that experts of the Void Path were notoriously skilled at escape. They assumed this mysterious man would flee immediately after annihilating Zhanba Island’s demonic forces.
“The Zhanba Island Master has arrived—he must be absolutely furious!”
“What? He didn’t escape?”
“They’re fighting! They’re fighting!”
The observers from all factions erupted in shock!
A battle between two combatants at the Ultimate-level? That’s far rarer than a blood sacrifice!
“Quickly report to the King!”
“Inform His Majesty the Divine Emperor at once!”
The entire Heartworld Continent was shaken. Invincible beings such as the Annihilation Divine Emperor, the Beast King, and the Moonflower King personally observed the battle through their Heaven-Gazing Mirrors.
“Interesting,” murmured the Beast King, lounging on his throne while feasting on an array of delicacies. His eyes were fixed on the battle scene displayed on the floating mirror. “This mysterious Void Path expert—doesn’t he fear that prolonged combat will reveal too many of his techniques, exposing his true identity? Even if he’s a powerhouse from one of the Six Great Ancient Kingdoms, someone like the Zhanba Island Master, a demon through and through, would likely storm into the kingdom and wreak bloody vengeance!”
“They’re really fighting?”
“He’s not afraid of exposure?”
The onlookers were astonished.
Previously, when slaughtering weaker demons, the mysterious man had used only a single large-scale attack, carefully avoiding revealing his identity.
But in a life-and-death battle against another Ultimate-level expert, far more techniques would inevitably be exposed.
“Does Emperor Feixue have a grudge against the Zhanba Island Master?” mused the Xia Emperor, watching with furrowed brows. “If he keeps fighting like this, he’ll reveal too much. Though he asked us to keep the secret of the ‘Voidfire Lotus,’ he’s newly ascended, so others won’t immediately connect him to the mysterious man. But in the future… Emperor Feixue can’t avoid fighting forever. He’ll explore the Heartworld Divine Palace, venture into the Broken Tooth Mountain Range—eventually, he’ll have to fight. And once he does, his identity will be easily uncovered.”
The Xia Emperor was puzzled.
In this world, there were only a handful of supreme demonic overlords capable of dominating entire regions.
Each possessed methods that even invincible beings couldn’t overcome. Thus, while the invincible ones were mighty, they still found these demonic overlords troublesome—unstoppable and unkillable. Even if their forces were annihilated, the overlords themselves wouldn’t care.
Demons were, after all, inherently selfish.
“What is Brother Feixue planning?” wondered the Skyrend Great Elder, frowning as he watched the mirror. “Even if he wants to save those countless ants, there’s no need to engage the Zhanba Island Master in direct combat. Over time, his identity will be exposed.”
Currently, within the Xiawind Ancient Kingdom, only the three invincible rulers and the Skyrend Great Elder knew that Dongbo Xueying was the mysterious man. Due to Dongbo Xueying’s request and their prior dealings, they naturally kept the secret.
But in the Heartworld Continent, the number of Void Path experts at the mysterious man’s level could be counted on one hand.
Once Dongbo Xueying fought under his true identity in the future, it wouldn’t take much to connect the dots.
“Is he being foolish? Or does he simply not care about his clan’s survival? Then again, he’s a reincarnated soul—perhaps he has little attachment to the Ying Mountain Clan.” The Skyrend Great Elder continued observing.
—
Across the land, factions watched the battle unfold through their Heaven-Gazing Mirrors.
Strangely, the mysterious man didn’t retreat but instead engaged head-on—yet he was clearly at a disadvantage.
On a desolate plain billions of miles from Fu Jun City, two figures clashed at blinding speed.
“Explode!”
The grotesquely obese Zhanba Island Master stretched out his hands—one forming a celestial veil that blotted out the sky, the other rising from the earth like a vast continent.
Above and below, two colossal palms converged, creating a collapsing black hole vortex between them.
An overwhelming force bore down on Dongbo Xueying.
“Untouched by All Laws.”
Layers upon layers of spatial barriers surrounded Dongbo Xueying, resisting the crushing force. *Boom! Boom! Boom!* The barriers shattered one after another, redirecting the destructive energy into higher-dimensional space.
“This technique still has flaws. How can I perfect it?” Dongbo Xueying mused mid-battle, executing moves from the *Snowfall Battle Art* to test its weaknesses while contemplating improvements.
Previously, he had only theorized in seclusion.
But in a life-and-death struggle—especially against an Ultimate-level expert of a completely different path—the shortcomings of his techniques became glaringly obvious. This helped him identify areas for refinement, greatly aiding his cultivation.
*Boom!*
The residual force of the black hole vortex struck Dongbo Xueying, but he flickered away like a thin scroll, effortlessly retreating to a distance.
“All you do is dodge? Is this all you’ve got?”
The Zhanba Island Master pressed his advantage, overwhelming Dongbo Xueying.
Though clearly outmatched, Dongbo Xueying remained unscathed.
“Hahaha!” Dongbo Xueying laughed heartily. He knew that relying solely on the *Snowfall Battle Art* would raise suspicions—after all, he hadn’t yet displayed any techniques embodying the true profundities of the Void Path’s Ultimate level.
But without external aids, he couldn’t.
He hadn’t fully grasped it yet—how could he execute it?
He needed external power.
The supreme treasure—the Voidfire Lotus.
“After reaching the Ultimate level in the Void Path, the next step is wielding the power of the Primordial Chaos. I’ve merely been testing crude applications of this force—yet you still can’t harm me. Fine, since you wish to see my true strength, I’ll oblige!”
Dongbo Xueying’s voice thundered across the battlefield as he suddenly threw a punch.
The Voidfire Lotus on his person flared to life.
This strike fused the *Snowfall Battle Art* with the Voidfire Lotus’s power—a technique he had refined after studying the lotus before his battle with the Black Monarch. The fusion not only perfected his art but multiplied his combat prowess severalfold.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
His fist unleashed a colossal phantom, engulfing half the sky. Within it, countless layered fist shadows surged with the chaotic might of the Primordial Chaos.
The Zhanba Island Master’s expression darkened. With a roar, he countered with a punch of his own.
As an Ultimate-level expert of the Power Path, he disdained evasion.
*BOOM!*
Two fists collided.
The Zhanba Island Master’s strike carried the weight of infinite force, while Dongbo Xueying’s seemed to bear the momentum of countless worlds, infused with the surging Primordial Chaos.
The impact shook heaven and earth, tearing open a pitch-black rift that revealed higher-dimensional realms.
The shockwaves rippled outward, palpable to every Cosmic God across the Heartworld Continent.
*Thud!*
The Zhanba Island Master was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth. Layer upon layer of spatial force battered his corpulent body, leaving wounds across his flesh.
He halted mid-air in the distance, staring in disbelief at the white-robed figure.
This power… was overwhelming.
“You wanted to see my true strength? Hah! As a Void Path cultivator, my greatest skill is division. This was just one of my avatars!”
Dongbo Xueying’s voice echoed as, around him, *swish! swish! swish!*—eight more identical white-robed figures materialized.
Nine Dongbo Xueyings now stood arrayed against the Zhanba Island Master, each radiating terrifying pressure.
The Zhanba Island Master’s face paled.
If one was already too much… how could he handle nine?
