In the snow-covered courtyard, Dongbo Xueying sat with his wife, sipping fruit wine and chatting idly. He cherished this rare moment of tranquility, knowing all too well that a war that would decide the fate of the entire universe was soon to erupt.
“Jing Qiu, I have something to attend to. I’ll be back soon,” Dongbo Xueying said as he stood up.
“Be careful,” Yu Jingqiu replied, rising as well.
Dongbo Xueying nodded before soaring into the sky, tearing open a spatial rift and stepping into the void, vanishing from sight.
Yu Jingqiu watched as the rift in the sky slowly sealed itself before she, too, disappeared, reappearing inside her meditation chamber. She immediately began cultivating, determined to transcend her limits and narrow the gap between herself and her husband.
*Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—*
Dongbo Xueying flew swiftly through the spatial tunnel, remaining vigilant. He was wary of an ambush by the Patriarchs of the Mother Goddess Sect, especially since he had slain so many of their Protectors aboard the Chaos Ark. But even if given the chance, he would not hesitate to do it again—his universe’s survival, his friends, and his family were at stake. No matter how many enemies came, he would cut them all down.
“Dongbo Xueying, we’ve arrived,” the Black Gourd’s artifact spirit transmitted.
“Hmm? No ambush?” Dongbo Xueying was slightly surprised as he stepped out of the spatial tunnel.
Before him stretched an endless starry sky.
Following the artifact spirit’s guidance, he flew through the cosmos until the stars before him began to twist and distort, parting to reveal a passageway. As he traversed this path, space itself seemed to shift continuously, and to his astonishment, his body could no longer sense the threads of *karma*—just like when he had entered the Primordial Land, where his karmic ties had vanished.
“The Voidwalker is truly formidable, capable of severing karma itself,” Dongbo Xueying mused. “From what I know, the Primordial Land was left behind by the creator of this universe. Yet this inheritance site of the Voidwalker… even its spatial passage can cut off karma.”
The secret treasures of the Annihilation Emperor could also conceal karma, but this was different.
Those treasures merely obscured the wielder’s karmic ties, whereas the inheritance site and the Primordial Land were vast domains that forcibly severed all connections between those within and the countless lives in the universe. The difference was staggering.
—
A vast expanse of gray land stretched endlessly before him as the distorted spatial passage dissipated behind Dongbo Xueying.
“We’re here,” the Black Gourd’s artifact spirit announced.
“Here?” Dongbo Xueying scanned his surroundings. The gray earth seemed boundless, faintly pulsing with an unfathomable power—dormant yet perceptible. If unleashed, it would dwarf even the might of the Sun Star and Moon Star.
Dongbo Xueying summoned the Black Gourd. “There’s nothing around. How do I receive the inheritance?”
The artifact spirit manifested as a child in a red bellyband, who grinned mischievously. “Just sit down cross-legged.”
“Alright.”
Placing the gourd beside him, Dongbo Xueying settled into a meditative posture.
The moment his body touched the gray earth, a ripple surged from its depths, piercing through his consciousness and embedding itself into his *True Divinity Heart*. He jolted in alarm—the True Divinity Heart was the core of his soul, the essence connecting all his avatars. Any attack on it, whether through illusions or other means, could obliterate his true self, regardless of distance.
The *Purgatory Reincarnation* of the Purgatory Commander, for instance, had annihilated both the avatars and true forms of six Mother Goddess Sect Protectors.
But after a brief moment of panic, Dongbo Xueying relaxed. The Voidwalker’s power was beyond comprehension—if they wished him dead, resistance would be futile.
*Hum—*
The ripple spread rapidly through his True Divinity Heart.
Within, a miniature version of Dongbo Xueying stood, his body crystalline like glazed glass, wreathed in swirling blades of sharp energy. Yet dark tendrils coiled within.
As the ripple permeated, the black miasma dissolved like snow under sunlight. Countless gray threads wove through the glass-like figure, forming a three-dimensional human-shaped array.
“*The Voidwalker’s Secret Treasury*, First Layer?” Dongbo Xueying instantly grasped the transmitted knowledge.
The Voidwalker lineage was an extraordinary cultivation system.
Unlike the widespread paths—such as the Mother Goddess Sect’s methods or the conventional comprehension of cosmic laws—which countless beings could follow, the Voidwalker’s path was nearly impossible to tread. Even across entire universes, finding a suitable practitioner was rare.
The silver-haired, golden-horned Voidwalker who once passed through this cosmos had been astonished to discover it was the creation of *Ancestor Tianyu*. Even more shocking was the existence of a prodigy like the *Lakeside Island Master*, whose strength, despite his shorter cultivation time, was only a step below Ancestor Tianyu and the Voidwalker himself.
Impressed by the potential of this universe’s denizens, the Voidwalker left behind an opportunity—one Dongbo Xueying had earned through trials.
*The Voidwalker’s Secret Treasury* comprised sixty layers, divided into six major stages.
Unlike conventional systems, it did not rely on cosmic laws. Much like the Mother Goddess Sect’s warriors—whose combat prowess surpassed their cultivation realms—practitioners of this path could reach staggering heights despite their limited comprehension.
Mastering the eleventh layer would elevate Dongbo Xueying to the level of a *Cosmos Overlord*, allowing him to transcend without needing to grasp deeper cosmic truths.
Yet this path was grueling, its threshold impossibly high. But those who succeeded wielded terrifying power.
Even the silver-haired Voidwalker, according to his own records, had only reached the fifty-fifth layer despite his overwhelming might.
“First Layer—Initiation.”
Dongbo Xueying closed his eyes. For now, he only possessed the first layer’s method. True inheritance would come only after mastering the basics.
The three-dimensional array, embedded within his True Divinity Heart, allowed him to sense its presence effortlessly.
*Boom—*
Across countless spatial barriers, beyond the confines of the cultivators’ universe, in the vast, desolate expanse of the primordial chaos, an ancient force stirred.
This power had existed since the dawn of time—cold, lifeless, devoid of warmth. Harmless in appearance, yet when it descended…
Even weakened by the countless barriers it traversed to reach the inheritance site, its manifestation in Dongbo Xueying’s vicinity was devastating. A gray mist swirled around him, its corrosive power terrifying. His *Ten Thousand Demons True Body*, normally indestructible, began to decay—skin, flesh, bones—all dissolving under its relentless erosion.
