Chapter 184: Bloodline (Part 2)
What happened next was quite simple.
As usual, Chen Xiao revealed his identity, forcing the Eight Extreme Wolf King to believe in him and seizing his faith. Only in this way could Chen Xiao be assured and truly trust him.
After that, Chen Xiao handed the virtual divine artifact glove to the Eight Extreme Wolf King and gave him a ring that could conceal spiritual energy.
“By the way, Wolf King, give me your Eight Extreme World-Shaking technique,” Chen Xiao said to the Wolf King finally.
The Eight Extreme World-Shaking technique, a miraculous skill that allowed one to fight enemies beyond their own level, was something Chen Xiao had no reason not to acquire. The Wave Seven Layers he had obtained earlier could also allow him to challenge opponents beyond his level, but it was merely a challenge—giving him the right to confront stronger beings of the same realm—but under normal circumstances, it could never lead to killing the opponent.
But the Eight Extreme World-Shaking was different. It amplified combat power by 64 times in one go. This wasn’t about 64 opponents of the same level attacking together; rather, it meant an attack on a single opponent’s power was multiplied by 64—these were not the same concept at all.
The combat power of a ninth-tier abler could be multiplied by 64, allowing them to easily kill beings of the Source Realm.
“Yes, master,” the Wolf King replied, his eyes glowing with fanaticism. He finally understood what kind of master he had followed. With such a backing, he no longer needed to live in fear or hide.
Without hesitation, the Eight Extreme Wolf King passed on the Eight Extreme World-Shaking technique to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao closed his eyes, carefully digesting it before nodding slightly and waving his hand to send the Wolf King away.
“So that’s how it is. The Eight Extreme World-Shaking essentially uses certain techniques to awaken the divine bloodline within, granting one divine power in an instant. Amazing. If one doesn’t possess a divine bloodline, even possessing this technique is useless.”
“My original abler bloodline seems to have been sealed by some strange seal. Has my current bloodline already been transformed into the Bloodline of the Supreme God through its power?”
Chen Xiao thought for a moment before immediately starting to practice in the secret chamber.
His figure suddenly split into eight, forming a perfect circle in the air.
Then, the Eight World-Shaking Moves were unleashed.
Suddenly, a golden light emanated from Chen Xiao’s body. The Supreme God’s power, which was originally circulating within him, was forced back into his mental sea by this golden light.
Behind Chen Xiao, a faint silhouette appeared abruptly. The silhouette was pale golden in color, vaguely forming a human shape with indistinct features.
“Nine Heavens, Mysterious Spirit,”
the silhouette murmured softly. Then, its body turned into a golden light and merged into Chen Xiao’s body.
Chen Xiao felt as though his spirit had been drawn to another world. In that world, nothing but emptiness existed, with only a strange trajectory slowly moving, as if explaining the truths of existence.
Buzz!
A loud buzzing sound suddenly arose in Chen Xiao’s mind. The next moment, his spirit returned to his body.
Boom!!!
At the same time, Chen Xiao’s Eight Extreme Earth Shaking Strike suddenly merged into one and was launched into the air. In just a moment, it shattered the space, creating a three-foot-diameter hole in front of Chen Xiao, which then began to slowly heal.
“This…”
Chen Xiao stared in astonishment at the dark void. He understood that on Earth, even a powerful being at the Source Realm could tear apart space with a single strike, so this wasn’t surprising. But in this world of supernatural abilities, space was extremely solid; only through space crystals could one open space gates or break through spatial barriers. Even the recent clash between Cassius and the Void God Fiend hadn’t had any impact on space.
“So powerful… What was that just now? Such a strong aura… Could it be the bloodline of the Supreme God?”
The moment Chen Xiao unleashed the Eight Extreme Earth Shaking Strike, his entire mind was drawn into it, leaving him unaware of anything unusual happening to himself.
“This Eight Extreme Earth Shaking Strike is truly formidable. With my current strength, I can use it to kill warriors at the first or second stage of the Domain Realm who haven’t mastered the Law of Immortality…”
Chen Xiao’s strength could kill those beneath the Law of Immortality, but against those who had mastered it, he could only injure them, not kill them. At the third stage of the Domain Realm, one who understood the Law of Immortality and its true essence could reassemble even if their body was torn into ten thousand pieces, as long as the power of the law remained intact. What Chen Xiao had now was merely raw power; he couldn’t yet wield the laws. Raw power alone couldn’t shake the laws.
However, Chen Xiao still possessed a divine artifact—Snowflakes Drifting.
“Hmm…?”
Chen Xiao was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy.
“Stage Seven! After using this Eight Extreme Earth Shaking Strike, my mental power has directly risen from Stage Six to Stage Seven! At Stage Seven, I can find out where my parents are and rescue them!”
Feeling that he had advanced to Stage Seven, Chen Xiao trembled with excitement. As for how he had progressed, he completely ignored it.
At Stage Seven, Chen Xiao now had a new realization—something extremely mysterious seemed to be getting closer to him, almost within reach, yet separated by an enormous gap. Crossing this gap meant becoming a dragon and roaming freely through the world. Failing to do so meant remaining an ordinary being, forever unaccomplished.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and sensed around him. His time in the Supreme God’s space had now increased to thirty-two hours. Even if he asked one of his divine disciples to stay outside all day, it wouldn’t have any impact. Moreover, the sixteen hours consumed by summoning the Divine Master had been replenished.
With his realm advancing, his divine disciples could now exert the power of the Source Realm outside…
“What exactly is that seal inside him?” In the Supreme God’s space, two blue glints suddenly flashed in Shui Miao’s eyes.
“What a powerful seal. All along, it has been that strange seal preventing the Power of the Supreme God from altering his bloodline. Just that move earlier slightly activated the power of that seal, releasing a trace of its strength. In just an instant, it transformed his bloodline into something even more formidable than the Supreme God’s bloodline… Is there anyone in this universe more noble than the Supreme God?”
Shui Miao’s brows furrowed slightly as she pondered something.
…
“Fuyun, can this corpse of a monstrous spirit be transformed into a puppet?” Chen Xiao asked, frowning slightly at the huge corpse of a monstrous spirit sent by Cassius.
Fuyun gave a bitter smile and said, “Young master, this corpse of a monstrous spirit is not just an ordinary one from the Void God realm. Although the Void God laws within it have been extracted, its essence remains that of a divine corpse. With my current strength, I’m not yet able to transform a divine corpse.”
“Sohen.” Chen Xiao frowned and immediately summoned Sohen.
“Young master.” Sohen appeared instantly and bowed to Chen Xiao.
“Fuyun, pass on the method of crafting puppets to Sohen,” Chen Xiao said to Fuyun.
“Mm.” Fuyun didn’t refuse after hearing this. He immediately sent a mental imprint, which Sohen absorbed.
At that moment, Fuyun felt a sense of relief. In this underground world, there were still over twenty thousand corpses of blood-colored monstrous spirits, all of which Fuyun had to refine personally.
Now that he had handed over the method of crafting puppets to Sohen, who would then pass it on to the other divine disciples, he wouldn’t need to get involved anymore.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao spoke up, “Sohen, take this divine corpse along with those blood-colored monstrous spirit corpses and refine them all into puppets. It’s best to remove any traces of their monstrous energy from them.”
“Yes, young master.” Sohen waved his hand, sending those corpses away. Then he went to another place to dispatch the remaining over twenty thousand monstrous spirit corpses. After that, he turned and left as well.
“Wan Hu, how’s the inventory of the wealth taken from those dead realm experts?” Chen Xiao turned and contacted Wan Hu again.
“Young master, the wealth brought back by Lord Shadow is a hundred times more than what we had before. Just the elemental stone veins of various sizes amount to forty-five.”
Wan Hu’s tone was filled with excitement—this was truly an astonishing amount of wealth.
“That’s right. Many of those external realm cultivators also died just now. Even those who survived are barely alive, and they’ve all been silently eliminated by Shadow.”
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face.
“Stedley, have those two special ability crystals I sent over been placed safely?” Chen Xiao then contacted Stedley.
“Don’t worry, young master. They’ve been fully placed safely.”
“That’s good.” Chen Xiao nodded.
“Let’s go, Fuyun. Let’s meet our new comrades.”
As he spoke, a faint blue glow appeared around Chen Xiao, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into the appearance of Shang Weiting.
At that time, in a side hall of the Glory Temple, Lian Shang and the other four had already arrived.
“I don’t know. Who exactly is the master behind this temple, capable of making five Void Gods submit?” Lingxing sat on a chair, shaking his head as he spoke.
“Whatever that person is, they’re not someone we can afford to provoke,” Lian Er said with a smirk. “To the Void Gods, we’re nothing but pawns. The Heavenly Dragon’s Secret Realm is extremely dangerous—how confident can we be of surviving? I think it’s better for us to fully pledge loyalty to this Glorious Temple; that way, our chances of survival will be higher.”
“You’re right,” the other four nodded in agreement after hearing Lian Er’s words.
“Good. Those who know when to act wisely are truly wise—smart people tend to live longer. You’re smart enough to live forever.”
At that moment, Chen Xiao, disguised as Shang Wei, arrived before them along with Fu Yun.
“Is it you?” Lian Shang frowned slightly upon seeing Chen Xiao, still deeply remembering his appearance from before.
“Of course it’s me,” Chen Xiao smiled broadly. “Lian Shang, if I remember correctly, your name is Lian Shang, right? Work wholeheartedly for the Glorious Temple, and you’ll get what you want.”
“Hmph! You scoundrel who ran away the moment you saw me—how dare you say such things?” Lian Shang sneered disdainfully.
“Dare you be rude to the young master!” Fu Yun snapped angrily upon hearing Lian Shang’s words and stepped forward.
“Hmph, it’s you again. Last time in Atlantis, I let you escape. Do you really think you’ll have another chance this time?”
Shu Man’s eyes seemed to blaze with fury upon seeing Fu Yun.
“You can try,” Fu Yun said. A golden light appeared between his fingers, causing the entire Glorious Temple to tremble slightly.
Chen Xiao remained smiling, showing no intention of intervening. These people, proud of their strength in their respective domains, didn’t even take him seriously—this was a perfect opportunity to intimidate them.
It was then that they remembered they were inside a massive Void Artifact.
