Chapter 479: The Prisoner (Part 2)

Within Dongbo Xueying’s sea of consciousness, a tiny figure sat cross-legged—this was none other than his soul, his true divine heart!

Now, this miniature figure appeared fresh and tender, almost adorable, yet its aura was far more profound and powerful. Around it, the vast illusory projection of a world had grown clearer, revolving entirely around the tiny being, as if every movement it made carried immense might.

“The world is me, and I am the world.”

“Transformation.”

His divine sea had long been opened and had already reached the divine-level limit. Now, under the guidance of Dongbo Xueying’s true divine heart, the boundless divine sea began undergoing a tremendous upheaval—like the creation of heaven and earth. All things began to emerge: land stretched outward, mountains rose, canyons formed, and vegetation flourished across the plains…

With the vast array of treasures provided by his master, including a staggering **one hundred million** divine crystals, Dongbo Xueying could freely absorb them to fuel the evolution of his inner world.

The inner world expanded, stretching to a staggering **one billion miles** in radius—how vast was that?

Without such an abundance of divine crystals, relying solely on slow cultivation and absorbing external energies would have taken an unimaginable amount of time.

**”Rumble—”**

Deep beneath the colossal continent, surging crimson World Divine Power churned violently, growing even purer, infused with the profound mysteries of the world’s chaotic void.

Dongbo Xueying’s physical body also underwent rapid transformations.

His **Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Body** effortlessly ascended to the **fourth layer**, while his **Great Chaotic Void True Force** smoothly reached the **third layer**.

Logically speaking, given his current level of comprehension, with a bit more time and effort, he could have mastered the **fifth layer** of the *Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Body* and the **fourth layer** of the *Great Chaotic Void True Force*.

**”I’ll emerge from seclusion first.”**

Yet Dongbo Xueying was unwilling to continue secluded cultivation. He estimated that his master had likely already forged his **blood-refined divine weapon**, and he also wanted to assess the strength of the prisoner beforehand to prepare accordingly. After all, aside from the **World God-level secret arts** he had learned in **Red Rock Mountain**, he had also acquired **two secret arts** in the **Lockworld Tower**. Fully comprehending and mastering them would take considerable time. Knowing the prisoner’s strength would allow him to devise a targeted strategy.

**”Creak—”**

The door to the meditation chamber opened, and Dongbo Xueying stepped out, soon spotting a maidservant outside.

**”Your Highness,”** the maidservant greeted respectfully, simultaneously sending a mental message to Yu Jingqiu. **”Madam, madam! His Highness has emerged from seclusion!”**

A figure in light blue robes materialized outside the door—it was Yu Jingqiu.

She smiled. **”This seclusion was rather short. By the way, His Majesty sent someone to deliver your blood-refined divine weapon. You should take it quickly—this divine spear is overwhelmingly powerful.”**

As she spoke, a **crimson spear** floated into view, radiating terrifying heat that distorted the surrounding space. Yu Jingqiu dared not even touch it with her hands, yet Dongbo Xueying felt an instinctive fondness for it, as if his very divine heart resonated with the weapon.

**”Come.”**

With a beckoning motion, the crimson spear shot toward him in an instant.

**”Magnificent.”**

Grasping the spear, Dongbo Xueying’s eyes gleamed with excitement. **”To think my master forged it straight into a **top-grade World God-tier** weapon!”**

Typically, a newly forged blood-refined divine weapon for a World God would only be **low-grade World God-tier**, requiring the wielder to nurture and refine it over time.

But **Bloodblade Divine Emperor** was no ordinary craftsman. A **top-grade World God-tier** blood-refined divine weapon was even more precious than a **peak-grade World God artifact**—because blood-refined weapons inherently unleashed greater power when wielded.

**”From now on, you shall accompany me in conquering the Divine Realm.”**

With a faint smile, Dongbo Xueying willed the crimson spear to vanish, storing it within his inner world. Deep beneath the vast continent of his inner world, surrounded by boundless crimson World Divine Power, the spear hovered, continuously nourished and refined by his power.

—

**That same day.**

Dongbo Xueying left **Yin Stone Villa** alone, venturing into the endless mountain ranges.

**”There.”**

Holding the talisman, he activated its sensing function and immediately detected the direction.

**”Whoosh!”**

Transforming into a streak of light, he swiftly advanced toward his target.

Traversing the mountain ranges at incredible speed, occasionally teleporting through space, he finally arrived before a rippling barrier of formation runes.

Instead of pressing forward, Dongbo Xueying halted in place.

**”Swoosh!”**

Beside him, another Dongbo Xueying clad in **starry-blue robes** appeared. Given his mastery over the **World Heart**, he could currently split into **eight world bodies** at once. Since the prisoner’s strength was unknown and this was merely a reconnaissance mission, he naturally wouldn’t risk his true body.

The starry-blue-robed Dongbo Xueying gripped the talisman and effortlessly passed through the formation barrier.

**”Hmm?”**

His expression shifted slightly. Before him lay a scene of eerie darkness, and at its center sat a figure bound by two chains.

**”According to the talisman’s guidance, this is the place—and there’s only one prisoner here.”**

Dongbo Xueying studied the captive. **”This must be the one I’m supposed to kill.”**

**”Finally come to execute me?”**

The seated figure spoke in a low, gravelly voice. He lifted his head, revealing two sharp horns on his forehead, a body covered in black scales, and hands ending in blade-like claws. His crimson eyes burned with icy killing intent.

**”A member of the Abyssal Demon race?”**

Dongbo Xueying immediately recognized him—a denizen of the **Dark Abyss**, but one who had ascended to the **World God level**. In the hierarchy of the Dark Abyss, this was a **Great Demon God**!

**”Oh? You? A mere **Second Heaven World God** dares to execute me?”**

The Great Demon God sneered, his crimson eyes locked onto Dongbo Xueying. **”What a joke.”**

**”A joke? We won’t know unless we try.”**

The starry-blue-robed Dongbo Xueying remained unfazed.

**”SCREEEEEEE—!”**

The Great Demon God suddenly unleashed a deafening roar.

**”BOOM—!”**

A terrifying shockwave erupted from him, flooding the entire dark space like a raging tsunami. The very fabric of the void trembled like disturbed water, and the starry-blue-robed Dongbo Xueying’s body twisted violently under the impact.

Reacting swiftly, he hurled the talisman outward—just before his body **shattered into nothingness** under the overwhelming force.

The Great Demon God watched coldly before closing his eyes and resuming his meditative posture.

—

**Outside the formation barrier.**

Dongbo Xueying’s true body stood frozen in shock. He had expected the prisoner to be strong, which was why he had cautiously sent a world body ahead. Yet, a **single roar** had obliterated it!

Had he been even slightly slower, the talisman might have been lost inside.

**”Whoosh.”**

With a wave of his hand, the talisman returned to his grasp.

**”This level of power… He’s definitely a **Third Heaven World God**—possibly even an extraordinary one among them! Even imprisoned and bound, killing him will be incredibly difficult.”**

Dongbo Xueying clicked his tongue.

**”What is my master thinking? Does he expect me to wait until I reach the **Third Heaven World God** realm before I can obtain the supreme techniques?”**
