The Seven Stars Sea Sacred Realm, the Voidsky Palace.
Ancestor Tianyu and the Swordmaster sat side by side, drinking and chatting as they watched the scene displayed in midair—Dongbo Xueying arriving at the entrance of the Star Tower accompanied by the Heartshadow Sect Master. Nearly half a month had passed since Dongbo Xueying’s sermon, so Ancestor Tianyu and the Swordmaster had long been prepared to observe his attempt to challenge the Star Tower.
Since the Six Great Sacred Lands were closely connected, other Cosmic Gods were also paying close attention to Dongbo Xueying.
“Back then, I already thought this kid had great potential, with a chance to reach the Chaos Realm,” Ancestor Tianyu chuckled. “But I still underestimated him. To think he’d reach the seventh level of the Unity Realm so quickly. Perhaps in the future, our Voidsky Palace will gain another ninth-level Star Tower expert. Then, among the Six Great Sacred Lands, we’ll be on par with the Bladelord’s City, with two such powerhouses.”
Currently, among the Six Great Sacred Lands, only Bladelord’s City had two ninth-level Star Tower experts.
The Voidsky Palace had only the Chaos Hall Master.
The Ancestor Island had only the Axe Hall Master. That was why it was so rare for him to personally serve as the Grand Assembly’s instructor, forcing Bladelord’s City to send the Heartshadow Sect Master to preside. Additionally, Hall Master Xinghuo had attended the ceremony due to his son. Thus, this Star Tower Grand Assembly had an unprecedented three ninth-level experts in attendance—a truly historic rarity! And with the emergence of a seventh-level Unity expert, this assembly became even more extraordinary.
“Who knows, he might even become a Cosmic God,” the Swordmaster said with a smile.
“A Cosmic God? That’s much harder,” Ancestor Tianyu sighed. “Every Cosmic God’s path is unique. You, Swordmaster, are exceptional—reaching the Chaos Realm through solitary cultivation within the cosmos, then ascending to Cosmic God after studying the Voidsky Palace’s archives and secluding yourself.”
The Swordmaster was indeed a legend.
Others had to endure countless trials, yet before becoming a Cosmic God, the Swordmaster had been virtually unknown in the Chaos Void. People only knew that the Voidsky Palace had suddenly gained a Chaos Realm expert called the Swordmaster—and shortly after, that very expert became a Cosmic God. The shockwaves from that event far surpassed the current stir caused by Dongbo Xueying.
Countless experts had been utterly stunned.
—
Several Cosmic Gods from various factions were observing from afar. Since they all belonged to the Six Great Sacred Lands, they were permitted to witness the battles inside the Star Tower.
“With multiple Cosmic Gods watching, you’ll have to give it your all,” the Heartshadow Sect Master remarked.
“Naturally,” Dongbo Xueying replied before flying straight into the Star Tower. Though this was Bladelord’s City’s tower, it was identical in construction to the one in the Voidsky Palace, so he was quite familiar with it.
—
**Star Tower, Seventh Floor.**
Amidst the rolling mountains, crimson streams of light surged from the depths, coalescing into ten figures—each clad in blood-red armor, the Destroyer Fiends. They differed slightly from the opponents in the Voidsky Palace’s Star Tower, but Dongbo Xueying knew the difficulty remained the same.
“Go.”
With a thought, black flower buds manifested from the void, stirring terrifying cosmic energy as they enveloped the ten Destroyer Fiends. One after another, seven black flower buds emerged, layering over each other, with the innermost layer trapping the bewildered fiends. Dongbo Xueying’s techniques descended from the illusory realm, making evasion impossible.
Before the swirling cosmic energy could dissipate, Dongbo Xueying uttered, “Annihilate.”
He held nothing back—seven **Flowers of Destruction** unleashed simultaneously.
**BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!**
Even against Palace Master Bayun, Dongbo Xueying hadn’t been this ruthless. As the seven black flowers bloomed, their beauty heralded devastation. The ten Destroyer Fiends shrieked in fury and pain.
When the chaos subsided, only two heavily injured fiends remained.
A single full-force attack had annihilated eight fiends and left the other two—both with exceptional defenses—severely wounded. The damage had been spread across all ten, allowing these two to barely survive.
Terrified, the remaining fiends tried to flee.
But it was too late.
“Annihilate.”
Seven more Flowers of Destruction blossomed, and the last two fiends perished.
“Back then, I had to use domains, illusions, and the Blade of Heavenly Punishment, barely enduring with my tough body to slowly wear down eight Destroyer Fiends. Now, they’re wiped out in an instant.” Dongbo Xueying sighed inwardly. He knew his current strength was formidable even among seventh-level Star Tower experts.
After all, by his estimation, a single Flower of Destruction was enough to meet the seventh-level threshold. With seven, he was far stronger.
“Now, let’s see the eighth floor.”
He soared upward, entering the vortex passage above.
—
**Star Tower, Eighth Floor.**
A vast arena stretched before him. Golden light surged across its surface, coalescing into a golden-armored alien warrior. The armor clung to his body like a second skin, and three slender, razor-tipped tails swayed behind him. His arms reached his knees, exuding lethal grace.
“A Golden-Armored Destroyer Fiend.” Dongbo Xueying recognized it. He had studied the fiends extensively.
Destroyer Fiends were categorized into three tiers: Gray-Armored, Blood-Armored, and Golden-Armored. The weakest Golden-Armored fiends matched seventh-level Star Tower experts, while the strongest rivaled ninth-level powerhouses.
And beyond them…
There were fiends comparable to Cosmic Gods—shape-shifting, their malevolent auras concealed so thoroughly that even most Chaos Realm experts couldn’t detect them.
“A Unity Realm cultivator?” The Golden-Armored Fiend stared in disbelief.
“Annihilate.”
Dongbo Xueying didn’t hesitate—seven Flowers of Destruction descended at once!
Though the golden armor sustained minor damage, it regenerated instantly.
“Die.”
The fiend closed the thousand-mile gap in a flash. Within this range, Dongbo Xueying’s **Law Domain**, restructured like the Flowers of Destruction, prevented teleportation—forcing the fiend to rely on sheer speed.
“Too fast!”
Dongbo Xueying tried summoning more flowers, but the fiend tore through them effortlessly. Within a few exchanges, he was forced to concede.
“I’m still far from ready for the eighth floor,” Dongbo Xueying admitted. “Even my strongest attacks fall short. I’ll have to return after reaching the Chaos Realm.”
—
The observing Cosmic Gods nodded in approval. Historically, only two Unity Realm experts had attempted the eighth floor: the Heartshadow Sect Master, who surrendered instantly, and the Radiant Holy Land’s **Emperor Jinyi**, who relied on supreme domain and defense to last a few rounds.
Dongbo Xueying, however, had held his ground with offense alone—his seven Flowers of Destruction even slowed the fiend momentarily.
—
**Bladelord’s City.**
By a tranquil lake, two figures strolled side by side—one clad in golden robes, the Bladelord himself, and the other in loose gray garments, none other than **City Lord Luo**.
“Master, what do you think of Dongbo Xueying?” the Bladelord asked humbly.
Had this exchange been overheard, the entire Chaos Void would have been shaken.
For no one knew—the strongest of the Six Great Sacred Lands, the Bladelord, was actually the disciple of a mere Chaos Realm cultivator!
“Some potential. Add him to the reserve list,” City Lord Luo said lightly. “He’s still young, far from maturity.”
“Understood.” The Bladelord nodded obediently.
“Honestly, more than his strength, I’m intrigued by his composure,” City Lord Luo mused. “After his display at the Grand Assembly, his name echoes across the Chaos Void. Countless Chaos Realm experts seek his favor. At such a pinnacle, even those with the steadiest hearts would feel pride. Yet he remains utterly calm—I sense no excitement in him.”
The Bladelord paused, then nodded. “You’re right. It is unusual.”
“Interesting.” A faint smile touched City Lord Luo’s lips.
Neither knew—
Dongbo Xueying’s true adversary was the **Sacred Master**, the current supreme ruler of the Chaos Void, the one who had slain his master, Gu Qi. To him, his current achievements, though gratifying, were but small steps on an endless path. The Sacred Master remained an insurmountable peak, leagues beyond his reach.
—
**Voidsky Temple.**
The Void Ancestor sat alone, his gaze spanning the infinite Chaos Void. Though the cosmos teemed with life, none were his disciple Gu Qi.
Watching his grand-disciple Dongbo Xueying shine brought him joy.
But Gu Qi would never see it.
He could never forget—after Dongbo Xueying’s battle with Lei Yan, Gu Qi had been so exhilarated he dragged the Void Ancestor aside to chatter endlessly.
“Gu Qi,” the Void Ancestor murmured. “Your disciple Dongbo Xueying is now the strongest Unity Realm expert across the Five Great Sacred Worlds—a seventh-level Unity. If you knew, you’d be overjoyed.”
