After 1.6 billion years in seclusion, his “Wave Dao” breakthrough also reached the Void God realm, forming its own rule system.
At the 2.3 billion-year mark of his seclusion, Dongbo Xueying finally mastered the third sword of the “World Annihilation” technique! This astonished even Dongbo Xueying himself—he had grasped the second sword while still at the Dominator level, and later even mastered the Slaughter Rule System. Yet, the third sword had taken him so long to comprehend!
After mastering the third sword of World Annihilation…
Dongbo Xueying chose to leave seclusion and challenge the Star Tower once more, driven by the need for real combat experience!
This time, his Traveler’s Secret Treasury had reached the twenty-sixth layer, and combined with the third sword of World Annihilation, he effortlessly crushed the enemy on the first floor of the Star Tower. The gray-armored creature dissipated into gray light that merged into the earth, and the Star Tower opened a spatial gateway to higher floors. Dongbo Xueying stepped onto the second floor.
On the second floor, he triumphed once again! Advancing to the third floor… he was defeated.
Dongbo Xueying had no choice but to visit the “Hall of Myriad Phenomena” to study the numerous texts on the Void God level, contemplating and refining his insights. He then cultivated in the Hall of Time, striving to improve himself. However, after mastering the third sword of World Annihilation, further progress proved exceedingly difficult… Even though his “Domain of Slaughter” had become more refined, it still offered limited assistance in the battle on the Star Tower’s third floor.
Clearly, ascending from the “Nascent Realm” to become an Inner Hall Elder was an immensely challenging feat.
…
While Dongbo Xueying immersed himself in the sacred land of “Taixu Tian Palace,” poring over ancient texts and cultivating, back in his home universe…
In the home universe, the Mother Goddess Sect had long been eradicated. With Bloodblade Divine Emperor, now a Void God, reigning supreme and intimidating the entire cosmos, the universe was far more tranquil than before.
Amidst the starry void…
On a shattered meteorite sat a disheveled young man in tattered robes, his fingers tracing divine patterns that shimmered around him. This was none other than Dongbo Yu—the son of the illustrious Dongbo Emperor, whose might and status were second only to the Bloodblade Divine Emperor himself!
“Boom—”
The ragged youth shuddered slightly as countless divine patterns coalesced into an exquisitely beautiful formation, radiating perfection.
“The Heavenly Dao Rules! The Heavenly Dao Rules!” Dongbo Yu’s voice trembled, his eyes alight with disbelief and joy. “I’ve comprehended them! Father, I’ve comprehended the Heavenly Dao Rules! Father, I’ve done it!”
Tears welled in his eyes at this moment.
Dongbo Yu—the favored son of heaven.
From birth, he had stood in the shadow of a titan who could prop up the heavens themselves—Dongbo Xueying! Born in the Xia Clan’s world within the Material Realm, his father was the strongest figure in Xia Clan history, the legendary hero who had saved their people, and the sovereign of their world. Dongbo Yu had always been sheltered by the mightiest of guardians.
He and his sister lived carefree lives. Though their parents were strict, neither ever felt true pressure.
While they idled away their days in the Xia Clan’s world and the Red Rock Mountain world, their father stirred storms across the Divine Realm and Abyss, his power and status soaring ever higher…
Though he inherited his parents’ exceptional talents, enjoyed the finest resources, and even received personal guidance from them, Dongbo Yu remained stuck at the peak of the Deity level. It was only after suffering heartbreak that he underwent a transformation, finally ascending to the Realm God stage.
From then on, his progress slowed once more…
His father became one of the new Three Ancestors! Then a Dominator, his status second only to the Bloodblade Divine Emperor—who was even Dongbo Yu’s grandmaster! With such privileges, he even gained access to the “Demon Mountain Universe” for cultivation. The Third Prince of Demon Mountain, Jiao Yunliu, spared no effort in nurturing him out of respect for his father.
Yet, despite billions of years, he remained trapped at the Four-Heaven Realm God stage.
His father, Dongbo Xueying, had once held boundless promise—the most monstrous genius in the universe, advancing far faster than even the Bloodblade Divine Emperor. With the current cosmic epoch still far from its end, steady cultivation would have inevitably led him to the fabled Void God Unity stage. Upon reaching the sacred Taixu Tian Palace, he might have even ascended further, with high chances of becoming a Chaos Realm overlord.
But!
For him—for his mother, Yu Jingqiu—Dongbo Xueying could not bear to watch as time eroded their souls toward dissipation. He chose to leave the universe, venturing into the vast, desolate Chaos Void.
Yu Jingqiu refused!
Dongbo Yu refused!
They were ready to face death with composure, but their father could not stand idly by, powerless. So without hesitation, he braved the dangers of the Chaos Void, embarking on a journey to the distant Sacred Realm.
How long would that journey be? Would his father even reach the Sacred Realm?
And if he did—the Sacred Realm, said to be billions of times more perilous than their universe, teeming with countless experts and dangers—would he remain safe while fighting for Dongbo Yu and Yu Jingqiu?
He feared.
Feared his father’s death.
Feared he might perish in the Chaos Void, or in the Sacred Realm. The possibilities were endless, and all of them terrified Dongbo Yu.
His father had always shielded him from life’s storms, but he had never truly noticed—because from birth, he had taken that towering presence for granted. Only now, with his father gone on this perilous journey, did fear and regret consume him. Regret that he had not transcended sooner.
And so…
He threw himself into cultivation with even greater frenzy, unwilling to disappoint his father.
“Whoosh—”
Within the vast, churning River of Time…
A figure rose amidst the currents—Dongbo Yu. Now, aided by the Heavenly Dao Rules, that figure soared upward. Though the river’s pull resisted, it could not hold him back. With only a few ripples, Dongbo Yu broke free, emerging from the River of Time.
“I’ve transcended, Father,” Dongbo Yu murmured, standing atop the meteorite.
…
Dongbo Emperor’s Manor.
Dongbo Yu reunited with his mother, Yu Jingqiu.
“Yu’er.” Yu Jingqiu gazed at her son with joy. At a glance, she recognized what her own father, Monarch Snow, had yearned for—what she herself had reincarnated and strived for all this time: Transcendence! And now, her son had achieved it.
“Mother.” Dongbo Yu offered a faint smile, but it quickly faded.
In truth, he felt little joy.
At this moment, all he wanted was for his father to know.
“Wonderful.” Yu Jingqiu’s face brimmed with happiness. Having cultivated far longer than her son, she had nearly despaired of transcendence. Yet seeing her son succeed filled her with boundless elation. “This is marvelous. Your father would be overjoyed if he knew.”
“But Father isn’t here,” Dongbo Yu said.
Yu Jingqiu paused, sensing her son’s emotions. She lifted her gaze to the starry sky above the manor.
Beyond those stars, beyond this universe—where was her husband now?
Was he safe?
“I wonder where Father is… how he’s faring,” Dongbo Yu whispered.
