Island, ocean.
On the sandy beach of the island, Dongbo Xueying descended, his feet touching the pristine white sand, untainted by dust or dirt.
The light within the scroll world carried a faint chill. Dongbo Xueying swept his gaze around and immediately spotted an hourglass suspended in mid-air, its glowing time-sand already flowing.
“Whoosh!”
Dark energy surged and gathered across the island, coalescing into ten black-robed figures. Their attire was identical, even their faces were the same—only the weapons on their backs differed. Some wielded twin swords, others spears, short spears, whips, or chains… The moment they appeared, they charged without hesitation.
Some dashed at high speed, others traversed the void in an instant, some lurked within shadowy spaces, while one transformed into a streak of flame…
Their methods of approach varied, and their combat styles were all distinct.
“Come on.” With a thought, Dongbo Xueying summoned an identical copy of himself, clad in star-blue robes.
Two Dongbo Xueyings now stood side by side, each gripping a spear—one black, the other fiery red. The one wielding the red spear was his Voidworld avatar.
“The more I kill, the higher my ranking. Let’s begin.” Both Dongbo Xueyings moved simultaneously.
“Thud!”
A lightning-fast thrust of his spear pierced straight through the chest of an oncoming black-robed figure, causing it to dissipate. The hourglass in the sky flipped instantly, its sands resetting.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!” His Voidworld avatar unleashed three consecutive spear strikes, infused with the profundity of Penetrating Extremity, piercing the throats of three black-robed figures attacking from different directions. The hourglass flipped again.
He didn’t even bother using secret techniques.
With the power and speed granted by the third layer of the Myriad Tribulations Mixed Origin Body, even basic applications of Penetrating Extremity and Starry Sky profundities were enough to obliterate his foes effortlessly.
Each time he killed one, a new black-robed figure would immediately spawn on the island, and the hourglass would reset. If he failed to kill an enemy for too long, the sands would run out, and he’d be expelled. However, most participants either surrendered or died in battle—few were ever kicked out due to time running out.
“Their strength is increasing too fast.” Dongbo Xueying frowned.
He was killing swiftly.
Both his true body and Voidworld avatar fought in tandem, striking with ruthless efficiency. At first, the black-robed figures were only at the Deity-level limit. But as time passed, their strength escalated rapidly. Within the span of a tea’s brewing, they had already reached the threshold of a World God—not just in raw power and speed, but in their comprehension of laws as well.
Worse, they attacked in coordinated waves, forcing Dongbo Xueying to eliminate them quickly before they could overwhelm him.
Fortunately, they were scattered across the island. As long as he kept moving and killing, they rarely managed to encircle him.
“Time to use secret techniques.” Facing enemies at the World God threshold, Dongbo Xueying altered his spearplay, focusing on the power-oriented technique—Chaotic Hole Crush.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” His spear swept out in brutal arcs, the space around it collapsing into darkness with each strike. The first blow shattered a black-robed figure’s shield, the second caved in its chest, and the third shattered its body entirely.
Brutal.
Savage.
Though Dongbo Xueying appeared composed, his attacks were ferocious. Yet even after three strikes, another wave of black-robed figures closed in, and stronger ones spawned in the distance. The mounting pressure forced him to refine his Chaotic Hole Crush technique with each use.
“Not ruthless enough.”
“The force transmission isn’t seamless. If it were truly unified, the power should penetrate completely, bypassing their weapons to annihilate them in a single strike.”
The pressure intensified, but Dongbo Xueying felt exhilarated—this was exactly what he needed!
Moreover, the ten opponents each fought with distinct styles and laws, providing a far more effective training experience than solitary cultivation.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
From the massive scroll, heavily injured figures were ejected one after another.
“Dongbo and His Highness the Seventh Plum Rain are still inside.”
“Both of them are incredibly strong. I wonder how long they’ll last.”
Discussions buzzed among the Wu Mountain Star Domain’s spectators.
—
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Brother Baisha, your young friend Dongbo must have mastered a World God-level secret art! And his comprehension is quite profound—every move is devastating.” Ronghai King observed the battle scenes high above with admiration. “And with that Voidworld avatar… his killing speed is neck-and-neck with His Highness the Seventh Plum Rain, even surpassing Zang Xiao.”
“Dongbo relies on his avatar. His Highness the Seventh Plum Rain is truly faster,” the yellow-robed Venomous Ying, a World God, remarked.
“His Highness’ swordsmanship and footwork are flawless,” the City Lord of Moyun added.
“Hahaha!” Above them, the Snowpeak Monarch laughed heartily.
They could clearly see the battles unfolding within the massive scroll.
His Highness the Seventh Plum Rain stood in a forest, surrounded by black-robed assailants. Yet he had transformed into a blur of afterimages, each wielding a sword that struck with lethal precision. Petals swirled around him, each carrying terrifying power, effortlessly reaping the lives of his enemies.
“His Highness’ sword is cold and decisive.” Qin Junzhu smiled. “Through his swordsmanship, one can sense his indomitable will—his sword and spirit are one. To create such a sword technique and possess such unshakable resolve… he will undoubtedly break through to World God.”
“Seems like we’re winning,” Venomous Ying said eagerly.
“Don’t celebrate too soon.” The Divine Court Emissary chuckled. “Zang Xiao was holding back earlier. Now, he’s starting to go all out.”
Zang Xiao fought with twin blades.
Previously, he had relied on his World God-level secret art with basic techniques. But now, he unveiled his true blade secret skill—two eerie crimson streaks flashed repeatedly, each accompanied by piercing shrieks like the cries of a wounded bird. Amid the cacophony, black-robed figures fell in droves, his kill rate skyrocketing past Dongbo Xueying and the Seventh Plum Rain.
“He’s surpassed them.” The City Lord of Moyun smiled. “Now, he’s the fastest killer. Zang Xiao’s blade art is pure slaughter.”

On the beach, Dongbo Xueying continued his relentless battle. His Chaotic Hole Crush technique was losing efficiency—it excelled in raw power, but some black-robed figures specialized in defense, enduring his strikes with ease.
Working in tandem with his Voidworld avatar, he fought desperately.
But he was reaching his limit.
“Not enough power? Then I’ll raise it!” The Great Chaotic Hole True Force within him surged violently, reaching the Deity-level limit. His spear’s might skyrocketed.
“Boom!” A single sweep of his spear now obliterated enemies that had previously required eight or ten strikes.
At the same Deity-level limit, the Great Chaotic Hole True Force far surpassed the Myriad Tribulations Mixed Origin Body in raw power.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Black-robed figures exploded one after another. No matter their strength, they were crushed beneath overwhelming force.
This was why Dongbo Xueying had held back earlier—only by fighting opponents of similar strength could he refine his skills. But now, as the enemies grew stronger, so too did the power he unleashed.
