Chapter 165: The Remnant Sky Map

“The enemy expert has appeared! Retreat quickly!”
Seeing this, Nakata Ichiro immediately shouted and dashed backward.
“None of you will escape today.”
Chen Xiao snorted coldly. His body surged forward as he chased after Nakata Ichiro. At the same time, twelve blue Water Element Giants appeared in midair and seized the other twelve Japanese supernatural beings before they could react.
Nakata Ichiro was fast, but far slower than Chen Xiao. By now, Chen Xiao’s physical strength had reached the peak of the fifth level, while his mental power was at the early stage of the sixth level. Moreover, within him resided the Power of the Supreme God, which was far superior to spiritual energy—enough to allow him to kill opponents beyond his own level.
Chen Xiao’s body was covered in a faint blue whirlwind. In just a few breaths, he caught up with Nakata Ichiro. He gathered orange, extremely heavy water in his hand and slapped it against Nakata Ichiro’s back, knocking him to the ground.
Chen Xiao stepped forward immediately and stepped on his body.
“Surrender! I surrender! I’ll become your subordinate!” Nakata Ichiro cried out as soon as he saw Chen Xiao’s power.
“Do you think I’d believe you?” Chen Xiao smiled coldly. The orange water in his hand instantly turned into blue water that drained life force.
With a flick of his finger, the blue water slowly flowed into Nakata Ichiro’s body through a tiny wound.
“Gah, gah…”
Suddenly, Nakata Ichiro opened his mouth to scream but stopped abruptly. His eyes bulged, his mouth widened as he gasped for air, emitting strange gurgling sounds. His entire body convulsed.
“This drop of blue water will slowly drain the essence of your life from within you. Don’t worry—you won’t die right away. You’ll suffer for half a month.”
Chen Xiao wore a devilish smile.
Fear instantly appeared on Nakata Ichiro’s face. Could there be a more cruel punishment than draining someone’s life essence alive?
A single drop of water slowly extracting the life essence hidden in muscles, blood, and bone marrow—who could endure such pain, the pain of losing their life? And it would last for half a month. Even the punishment of being torn apart piece by piece paled in comparison.
Meanwhile, the twelve Water Element Giants made of blue water had already injected a drop of blue water into the hands of the other twelve men.
“Master!”
The remaining four supernatural beings rushed forward as soon as they saw Chen Xiao and spoke respectfully.
“You all did well!” Chen Xiao was very satisfied with them. If not for them holding off those thirteen Japanese supernatural beings today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, injecting green Life Water into their bodies to quickly heal their wounds.
“Bury that sacrificed brother with proper honors and treat his family well. You may go now.” With that, Chen Xiao’s mental power connected through faith to Wan Hu, ordering him to reward these four generously and take care of the family of the deceased.

As for the remaining supernatural beings from Japan massacring ordinary Chinese civilians, Chen Xiao also gave orders for Wan Hu to handle the matter—eliminate all remaining supernatural beings from Japan and destroy their descendants. Without the protection of those supernatural beings, coupled with the devastating blow to their naval forces, Japan would likely become an easy target for other countries from then on, allowing them to manipulate it as they wished.

…

“Grandpa, are you okay?” At that moment, Chen Xiao approached Chen Jianzhou.

“Great, great! Truly my grandson! Xiaozi, have you reached the seventh level yet?” Chen Jianzhou asked eagerly.

“No,” Chen Xiao shook his head. “My current strength is at the early sixth level. But for various reasons, I can defeat seventh-level supernatural beings. Grandpa, can you now tell me about your grudge and the whereabouts of my parents?”

Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Chen Jianzhou was momentarily stunned. An early sixth-level fighter defeating a seventh-level supernatural being—this was something unheard of before.

“Xiaozi, something major is about to happen in the world of supernatural powers, right?” Instead of answering Chen Xiao, Chen Jianzhou brought up another topic.

“That’s right. The legendary Tianlong Secret Treasures are about to be unearthed. The entire world of supernatural powers is now agitated. Even many powerful outsiders who appeared out of nowhere have arrived in this world.”

Chen Xiao was very open with his grandfather, having nothing to hide.

“The Tianlong Secret Treasures…” Chen Jianzhou pondered. “They contain the treasure trove of 108 deities.”

“Grandpa, you know about them too?” Chen Xiao was surprised. Before this, he had no idea what the Tianlong Secret Treasures were like. It wasn’t until he absorbed the memories of the priests from the Atlantis Sea God Temple that he gained some understanding.

“Of course I know.” Chen Jianzhou glanced at the village behind him. The thunderous noise had awakened the villagers sleeping there, and many homes had lights on as people got up to find out what was happening.

“Zixuan, are you okay?” Chen Xiao spoke toward the crown of a huge elm tree about ten meters away. His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached Hu Zi Xuan’s ears clearly.

“I’m fine, just exhausted. Hey, that combined spirit spell is powerful, but it drained all my spiritual energy.”

At that moment, Hu Zi Xuan was holding a purple star coin, slowly absorbing its energy to replenish himself.

Seeing that Hu Zi Xuan was unharmed, Chen Xiao and Chen Jianzhou headed toward the small hill behind the village.

“The Tianlong Secret Treasures were unearthed once, long ago. Back then, countless supernatural beings died mysteriously without even seeing the edges of the treasures. In contrast, ancient martial artists were able to approach them safely. That’s why the records of the Tianlong Secret Treasures can be found in the classics of various ancient martial families.”

As they walked, Chen Jianzhou spoke slowly.

“And I, as the head of the Chen family, an ancient martial family from China, naturally know all these things.”

“The head of the Chen family, one of China’s ancient martial arts clans?!” Chen Xiao stopped in his tracks, staring at Chen Jianzhou in disbelief. He never imagined that his grandfather had such a prominent status.
The Chen family was a renowned clan among China’s ancient martial arts clans, belonging to the elite group. It had a significant reputation throughout the world of supernatural abilities, second only to giants like the Sanye Family of China.
Chen Wenhuh, from the Huang Group of China’s Soul, was actually a collateral descendant of the Chen family.
“Then Grandpa, since you’re the head of the Chen family, why have you ended up in such a situation?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly.
“Ah, it’s complicated to explain.”
The grandfather and grandson reached the top of the mountain and sat down on a smooth rock.
“Xiaozi, I won’t go into details. Just know that my enemies are the Chen and Long families from China’s ancient martial arts clans. These two families are not only my enemies but also yours. Once your identity is revealed, you’ll likely be hunted by them relentlessly.”
Chen Jianzhou spoke with grave seriousness, sighing slightly as he talked. What was once his family had now become a matter of life and death.
But seeing Chen Xiao’s strength, Chen Jianzhou decided not to hide anything from him.
“The Long family?!” Chen Xiao’s expression turned cold. He remembered Long Fei, the leader of the Huang Group of China’s Soul.
The power of the Long family was even more terrifying than that of the Chen family—almost on par with the Sanye Family in the world of supernatural abilities.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath.
“Why? How did this happen? And could my parents’ disappearance be related to them?” His tone became slightly agitated, but soon, a trace of the Lord God’s power calmed him down.
“Your parents…” Chen Jianzhou frowned before saying, “I’ll tell you where they are once you reach level seven. Knowing it now won’t be of much use.”
“Level seven?” Chen Xiao was stunned. “But Grandpa, I can easily defeat level-seven supernatural beings, and even those above level eight can’t do anything to me.”
“It has nothing to do with strength,” Chen Jianzhou shook his head again. “Only when you reach level seven can you enter that place and obtain those three Remnant Sky Maps. It’s through those maps that you can find your parents.”
“Remnant Sky Maps?” Chen Xiao lowered his head, his mental energy racing as he tried to recall anything about them from his memories. But there was nothing related to them in his memory, not even in the archives of China’s Soul.
Chen Xiao gave up and didn’t press further. Having known his grandfather’s stubbornness since childhood, he knew that once he made a decision, he would never change it.
“Xiaozi, your mother is the daughter of the head of the Xueye Family, part of the Sanye Family in the world of supernatural abilities. When you’re strong enough, you can go to the Xueye Family for help,” Chen Jianzhou said after some thought.

“Seek help from the Snowy Night Family?” Chen Xiao sneered. “In the eyes of these families, only interests are eternal. Family ties? Hmph. Grandpa, you were once the head of the Chen Shi family. Isn’t this also a matter of life and death now? I only trust myself and the power I possess. I can’t trust anyone else.”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Chen Jianzhou sighed slightly.
“If it weren’t for the full protection of the Snowy Night Family back then, I’m afraid both my grandson and I would have been killed long ago.”
“Then our arrival here was also arranged by them?” Chen Xiao asked, frowning.
Chen Jianzhou shook his head without saying a word.
“Grandpa, come with me,” Chen Xiao suddenly said.
“Leave? To where?” Chen Jianzhou was stunned.
“I’ve established a faction in the world of superpowers, but I’m not good at managing it. Most of my subordinates are uncontrollable, and there aren’t many who can be relied on. But you, Grandpa, were once the head of the Chen family and can take better control of this faction.”
“Your faction must be quite large, right?” Chen Jianzhou said with a smile. If one could send a fifth-tier and four fourth-tier superpowers to protect them, it surely wasn’t small.
“It’s okay. You’ll know once you come and see it,” Chen Xiao left it ambiguous.
