Chapter 112: The Outburst of Divine Power
Faced with Xiao Mang’s disdain, the pride hidden deep within Chen Xiao was fully awakened.
It was the pride of the Supreme God—looking down upon all beings as ants, whose dignity could not be defiled.
A terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from the Supreme God’s essence, and through Chen Xiao’s eyes, its divine power was unleashed.
Gui Gui and Mu Mu, standing behind Chen Xiao, felt this terrifying pressure as soon as they sensed it and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling violently. They were already believers of the Supreme God and had no resistance against its power. Yet Chen Xiao’s divine power caused them no harm.
Xiao Mang, who was directly confronted with this terrifying power, spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to one knee.
“This… this pressure is terrifying!”
Xiao Mang’s veins bulged on his face. Already severely injured, his mental defenses were extremely weak. Facing this power that struck directly at his mind, he suffered even greater damage.
“Who exactly is he?”
Xiao Mang’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with fear. He didn’t even dare to look directly at Chen Xiao.
At this moment, Xiao Mang felt like a tiny ant facing a prehistoric tyrannosaurus—no, he was even weaker than an ant, while Chen Xiao was more terrifying than a tyrannosaurus!
The blood-red monster behind him lay on the ground, its long tongue out, panting heavily.
Chen Xiao’s eyes grew even more merciless, their pale blue hue representing the supreme existence in the universe. The divine power radiating from him grew stronger by the moment.
Fine cracks slowly appeared on Chen Xiao’s body as he could no longer bear such terrifying power, which caused severe damage to his physique.
In the Supreme God’s realm, Shui Miao, who was sitting in meditation before the Black Tortoise Egg, frowned slightly. With a gentle wave of her hand, a water-blue light barrier emerged from her palm, instantly breaking through the barriers of the Supreme God’s realm and striking Chen Xiao’s body.
In the next instant, the once unrestrained and spreading divine power became subdued, confined within a ten-meter radius. Chen Xiao’s body, which had been on the verge of being crushed by the power, began to heal rapidly.
At this point, Chen Xiao entered a profound state.
“I am the supreme existence in the universe. All other beings are ants. The laws of the universe lie within my will…”
Immediately afterward, a mindset of indifference toward all beings and things arose in Chen Xiao’s heart. His human emotions—love, hate, and attachments—gradually faded away.
Chen Xiao seemed to have forgotten his grandfather’s vengeance and the whereabouts of his parents. Everything seemed unrelated to him.
“I am me. I am the Supreme God. All things are ants!”
In an instant, Chen Xiao’s divine power spread again, nearly breaking the restrictions placed by Shui Miao.
“Chen Xiao!” Shui Miao frowned in the Supreme God’s realm and called out softly.
“Huh?!”
Chen Xiao was shocked.
“What’s happening to me? Was that me just now?” Chen Xiao shuddered violently, instantly coming back to his senses. In the next moment, that haughty demeanor of looking down on all others vanished. “Thankfully, Shui Miao woke me up; otherwise…” Chen Xiao felt a wave of fear. After all, he wasn’t heartless—he had family, friends, and eventually a lover. He also bore many burdens, such as his grandfather’s vengeance and the whereabouts of his parents, all of which he couldn’t forget. Chen Xiao took a deep breath. By now, he had emerged from that state of mind, the pressure around him fading, and his eyes returning to normal. At this moment, Gui Gui and Mu Mu knelt beside Chen Xiao. They hadn’t been oppressed by his divine power but instead became even more respectful toward him. However, the situation for Xiu Mang and that blood-red monstrous creature across from them was not good at all. Xiu Mang was almost crushed underground by the divine pressure, supporting himself with one hand, with a thumb-thick blood streak at the corner of his mouth and a deathly pale face. As soon as Chen Xiao’s divine pressure lifted, Xiu Mang collapsed to the ground. As for that eighth-tier blood-red monstrous creature, it simply fainted. The pressure of the Supreme God—even if Chen Xiao could only exert one ten-thousandth of it—was beyond the strength of these creatures to resist. “King of Ghosts Xiu Mang, can you speak now?” Although Chen Xiao wasn’t completely influenced by that indifferent mood, he was still somewhat affected. Now, he stood above Xiu Mang, looking down on him. “Pfft!” Xiu Mang took a slight breath, and a mouthful of black blood sprayed out. “You… you…” Xiu Mang struggled to stand up, but having already been severely injured and further weakened by Chen Xiao’s divine pressure, his body and mind were on the verge of collapse. “Answer my question.” Chen Xiao’s expression stiffened, and blue light began to glow in his eyes again. Seeing that blue light in Chen Xiao’s eyes, Xiu Mang trembled uncontrollably. Now, Chen Xiao had left a deep shadow in his heart. Though Xiu Mang was a ninth-tier powerhouse, in the face of the pressure of the Supreme God, he was as weak as an ant. “I fought against the King of Ghosts from the Netherworld, Gui Liu Sun. He and another King of Ghosts ambushed me and severely injured me. I had no choice but to use my supernatural crystal card to escape to the world of supernatural beings. Unfortunately, the teleportation was disrupted. I was lucky not to be torn apart by space but instead swept into the human world by spatial turbulence. The monstrous creatures and evil spirits here were also dragged into the human world along with me due to the space’s destruction. Thankfully, there’s a Eye of Absolute Darkness nearby; otherwise…” Faced with Chen Xiao now, Xiu Mang didn’t dare hide anything and recounted his origins and reasons for coming to the human world. “I see.” Chen Xiao nodded. Now, he wasn’t afraid that Xiu Mang would play any tricks. With divine power like a prison, let alone the intimidation of the Supreme God’s power, even Xiu Mang himself didn’t believe he would dare attack Chen Xiao again. Chen Xiao had been truly terrifying just now.
But only Chen Xiao himself knew all of this. Although he could still unleash his divine power once again, it would likely be difficult to communicate with the main divine entity and stimulate its vast divine power as before. Moreover, Chen Xiao didn’t dare to do it again, fearing being assimilated by the main deity’s indifferent attitude toward all beings.
“How do you plan to go back?” Chen Xiao asked again.
Xiao Mang shook his head helplessly. “For now, I can only use this Eye of Absolute Yin to heal myself. As for how to return to the netherworld, I have no idea.”
Chen Xiao fell silent for a moment. Leaving this guy in the human world was also a potential hazard. He was truly powerless against him. If a fight broke out, unless he was willing to sacrifice his divine disciple, even a severely injured ninth-tier powerhouse remained a ninth-tier powerhouse.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s mind stirred, and a black crystal card appeared in his hand.
