Chapter 182: Arrival

Chen Xiao used the divine artifact Snowflakes Drifting to launch a surprise attack, instantly breaking the grand formation.
In the next moment, the body of the Void God Fiend reappeared along with the Glory Temple. Instantly, the gray mist that had been driven away earlier swarmed back toward the Void God Fiend’s body.
To these mists, the Void God Fiend was like rotten fish attracting flies—there was no way to escape.
By now, the Glory Temple had been shaken by this fiend; terrifying cracks appeared on the ground. Inside the temple, Floating Cloud’s face turned pale. If not for Chen Xiao providing him with faith energy, he would likely have collapsed by now. Not far from the Glory Temple, the headquarters of the Flame Soul Realm’s Superpower Association was completely destroyed, with two crystals—one black and one purple—falling to the ground.
Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. Silently, he moved to the ruins of the Superpower Association and, with a gesture of his hand, took the two crystals.
The superpower crystals from the Flame Soul Realm had always been Chen Xiao’s greatest desire, but he had never had the chance to obtain them.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the Void God Fiend let out a deafening roar, clutching its head in agony. The golden glow in its eyes gradually faded, turning back to blood red.
“How could this happen…”
Suddenly, the fiend went berserk, abandoning its attack on the Glory Temple and turning instead to kill the domain experts floating in the sky.
These experts included those sent by the Superpower Association, others from various factions, and many Void God messengers from beyond Earth.
With a single punch, the fiend shattered three or four weaker domain experts who failed to dodge, killing them instantly.
Chen Xiao silently returned to the temple. Instead of immediately using his ultimate move to summon the Divine Master’s clones, he summoned his shadow.
“Shadow, fetch the superpower cards left behind by those dead domain experts. They were all very wealthy—we can’t waste them.”
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
After all, these people had once been enemies of the Glory Temple. Now, he naturally wanted to strip them of their strength. Staying out of it and watching the chaos was the best choice.
Shadow responded and transformed into a shadowy figure, heading outside to collect the superpower cards and storage crystals of the dead experts.
The structure of these crystals was extremely special; even the strongest impacts couldn’t damage them. So, though those domain experts were shattered to pieces, their crystals remained intact, falling to the ground.
At that moment, the situation in the Flame Soul Realm was in complete chaos. The foreign domain experts, who had come to watch the chaos, aside, the local experts from Earth—whether from China or other countries—all showed solemn expressions.
If this terrifying fiend reached Earth, most of the planet would likely be destroyed, with countless lives lost.

Although there are also extremely terrifying guardians on Earth, even the strongest beings from other realms, once they arrive here and use force, will cause widespread destruction and even alter the natural environment, not to mention a fiend at the level of a Void God. But with that great formation just broken, their last hope was also shattered. “Damn it! Isn’t the Glory Temple supposed to have real gods? Why haven’t we seen any gods appear yet?” The remaining six elders of the Supernaturalists Association were severely weakened; now they had placed their hopes on the Glory Temple. “What exactly happened just now? Why did Elder Wang Hu die suddenly? There must be someone framing him.” Suddenly, one of the elders realized something and quickly took out a healing potion from his bag, swallowing it before his face slightly turned red. “It must be those outsiders who come here to cultivate!” another elder said. “Hmph! Watching us get hunted while staying out of it? That’s not going to happen!” With that, the elder rushed forward, conjuring a massive blade of light in his hand and slashing at the Void God fiend. “Roar!” The Void God fiend, whose original consciousness had long been erased and whose new mind hadn’t yet formed, was suddenly attacked and flew into a rage, chasing after the elder who launched the attack. The elder snorted coldly, his body instantly turning into a shadow as he rushed toward the other side, where groups of outsiders from other realms were watching the chaos. “Not good!” These outsiders were shocked. They had stayed here with the intention of watching and taking advantage of the situation, as the local forces on Earth were their rivals in competing for the Heavenly Dragon Secret. It would be in their best interest to see those forces weakened, so they certainly wouldn’t help. But now, with that elder’s actions, they were dragged into the conflict. Faced with the violent attacks from the Void God fiend, they had no chance to escape and could only brace themselves. Fortunately, the fiend was like a wild beast, using chaotic attacks without any pattern, relying solely on brute force rather than elemental powers. The realm masters could barely withstand these attacks. Yet, despite having powers nearly on par with gods—each of them at least at the fifth level of their realm—they were still forced to spit blood. Lian Shang didn’t get involved. His location was closer to the Glory Temple, as the Void God Cassius behind him urged him to fully support the Glory Temple. “Lian Shang, let’s go,” Feng Ying said, frowning slightly. “I never expected this corpse of a god to turn into a fiend. It’s truly unexpected. No matter what plans the Supernaturalists Association here has, they’re completely ruined now.” The expressions of the others also turned pale. “Go?” Lian Shang shook his head slightly. He used his mental power to connect with the Void God transmission array on his body and, in an instant, reported what was happening here to Void God Cassius.

Now, the Virtual God Cassius has obtained the laws of the Virtual God from the Main God’s Space and also acquired a peak-level Virtual God artifact, granting him the strength of a peak Virtual God—a power he never dared to imagine before. Hearing about the situation here, he didn’t even hesitate and immediately activated the Virtual God teleportation array in Lian Shang’s hands, deciding to descend in person! Boom! A loud noise filled the air as a emerald-green statue shot out from Lian Shang’s body, trembling in mid-air. Suddenly, a huge portal opened on top of the statue, and Cassius’s figure slowly emerged from it. “Look, isn’t that the God of Freedom?” The superhumans who survived on the ground looked up at the sky and suddenly cried out. As soon as Cassius’s true form appeared, the Virtual God monster immediately sensed danger. Without any delay, it turned around and threw a punch at Cassius. Cassius snorted coldly, raised his hand to block it, and the laws of the Virtual God condensed instantly, forming a massive vortex in the air that swept toward the monster. At this point, the monster relied solely on its instincts; though its body was extremely powerful, it couldn’t utilize the laws of the Virtual God within it, making it no match for Cassius, who forced it to retreat step by step. This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. No one expected a peak Virtual God to descend directly and confront such a terrifying monster. “Lord Cassius?” Not only Feng Ying and the other three but even Lian Shang himself was shocked. He hadn’t expected Cassius to come in person to face this terrifying monster. “What’s going on? How did Lord Cassius arrive?” Lian Er’s face showed confusion as she stared at Cassius, not knowing what to say. “In this Land of God’s Fall, the Virtual God said that even true gods dare not descend. Although the Virtual God isn’t a god, it has the potential to become one. This place is even more taboo for them. Now…” Ling Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly. He also activated his own Virtual God teleportation array and began to contact the Virtual God behind him. After all, given the relationship between these five, their respective Virtual Gods were also extremely close, almost like siblings. With Cassius’s arrival, the other four must surely be alarmed. “Oh? Cassius has come?” In the Glory Temple, Chen Xiao’s face showed a hint of a smile. “He’s quite loyal. In this Land of God’s Fall, where even Virtual Gods dare not descend, he comes in person. Very good.” Chen Xiao was extremely satisfied with Cassius. He had already learned from him about the uniqueness of this world of superhumans—other Virtual Gods or gods dared not come here, but Cassius arrived immediately upon receiving the news, showing his loyalty to Chen Xiao. Faith is one thing, but loyalty in action is another. Faith only represents devotion and does not imply betrayal. “However, that monster is becoming more and more skilled at controlling the power within it. Cassius’s strength is still weak. Even with the protection of a peak-level Virtual God artifact, his current strength is not even comparable to Gui Gui and Mu Mu.” Chen Xiao pondered silently.

“This is a perfect opportunity to take control of the forces of the other four Void Gods through him—the five Void Gods of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Excellent.”
……
At this moment, although that monstrous spirit was still suppressed by Cassius, it had begun to take control of the power within it and was slowly engaging Cassius in a back-and-forth battle.
“Who knows where this Void God came from. It’s good to have him holding back this monstrous spirit; otherwise…”
Seeing Cassius blocking the Void God and the monstrous spirit, all the powerful beings on Earth breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who they were, anyone who could step in at such a time was welcome.
“Could it be the Void God behind the Temple of Glory?” one elder guessed.
“No, he seems to be the God of Freedom who appeared in Wa last time. The Temple of Glory destroyed his temple—there must be hatred between them,” another person mused.
Boom…
At that moment, the world trembled violently. The monstrous spirit unleashed a terrifying force derived from the laws of the Void Gods. Though it was only a preliminary use of those laws, Cassius was caught off guard and was sent flying.
In an instant, all the buildings in the newly risen City of Glory were destroyed, with only the massive Temple of Glory remaining standing.
“Ah!”
Seeing that it had sent Cassius flying, the monstrous spirit showed an almost human-like expression of excitement. Soon after, more laws of the Void Gods began to gather around it, allowing it to wield those powers.
Cassius’s mouth dripped with pale green blood, and his body glowed with a pale green light. The silhouette of an ancient tree appeared above his head.
“If it weren’t for this Void God artifact protecting me, this strike would have seriously injured me. Truly, a monstrous spirit born from a divine body.” Cassius took a deep breath. Just as he was about to stand up and confront the monstrous spirit again, a golden light flashed in the sky.
With a boom, a giant face over a kilometer long appeared above the Temple of Glory. The majesty of the Supreme God spread instantly.
“That’s the Lord of Glory!”
“The Lord of Glory has appeared again to save us!”
The remaining superhumans fell to their knees upon seeing the projection of the God of Glory and worshipped it in the sky.
The divine power emanated from the divine priest’s projection, instantly subduing the Void God monster, pressing it fearfully to the ground.
“Cassius, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!” the divine priest’s projection suddenly spoke to Cassius.
