Chapter 199: Behind the Mirror

Powerhouses at the ninth level of the Domain Realm are unparalleled even on the Source Continent, their status second only to the Void Gods, who even treat them with respect. Why would they risk coming here?
If they were to unite their nine domains and comprehend the way of the Void Gods, they would become those exalted Void Gods. Compared to the elusive divine treasures, this attainable position as a Void God seems far more tangible.
Those who came here, aside from a few specific individuals, were essentially pawns of the Void Gods—people whose deaths wouldn’t cause any sorrow. Their task was merely to place the Void God Transmission Array within the Tianlong Secret Treasures, and that was it.
Thus, although there were a few powerhouses at the eighth level of the Domain Realm in this square, there were absolutely no ancient monsters at the ninth level.
Mo Jian Yuanmie could be said to be invincible here.
Of course, if these people united and struck together with all their might, even a Void God artifact would be crippled. Moreover, each of them possessed a powerful Void God artifact.
The other six keys had been obtained by the other six factions, and most of their forces consisted of only a dozen or so people—insufficient even to meet their own needs, let alone to sell.
“Hehe, young man, you’re honest and kind-hearted. I, Xuan Yuan Po, consider you my friend,” said the bearded middle-aged man, laughing heartily at Chen Xiao.
“Senior Xuan Yuan, you’re too kind. It’s just that you’ve given me a large high-quality Origin Stone vein, so I feel a bit guilty,” Chen Xiao replied with a smile.
“Xuan Yuan Po! It’s Xuan Yuan Po!”
Suddenly, someone recognized the origin of this bearded man.
“Xuan Yuan Po, a peak powerhouse at the eighth level of the Domain Realm, who could step into the ninth level at any moment!”
Xuan Yuan Po’s background was revealed right away.
On the periphery of the Source Continent, Void God powerhouses held supreme power, leading large factions, while those at the ninth level of the Domain Realm constantly meditated and sequestered themselves to comprehend the way of the Void Gods.
Thus, on the periphery of the Source Continent, powerhouses at the eighth level were the highest-tier forces. Xuan Yuan Po was the pinnacle among them—a genius of the Xuan Yuan clan, his cultivation prowess astonishing. He had even fought against a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Domain Realm.
No one expected that the Xuan Yuan clan would dare send such an unparalleled genius here. No wonder he could afford to offer a large high-quality Origin Stone vein.
Now that Xuan Yuan Po was on Chen Xiao’s side, no one dared to act rashly.
“I’ll offer a Void God artifact in exchange for your five spots! A Void God artifact is a divine artifact created by the Void God himself using his own laws, its value far exceeding that of a large high-quality Origin Stone vein.”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
“A Void God artifact?” Chen Xiao frowned. To be honest, he could have as many of those artifacts as he wanted—they held no value to him at all.
But now, he had Yuanmie, this genius, by his side. Yuanmie could destroy Void God artifacts, seize their laws, and use them to strengthen himself.

However, it was unable to devour the Virtual Divine Artifacts crafted by Suo Hen and the others. Suo Hen and his group had used the Virtual Divine Laws from the Main God’s Space to forge these artifacts. The Virtual Divine Laws in the Main God’s Space were established by the Main God himself, and even if it evolved into a Divine Artifact, it still couldn’t devour them.

Now, these people’s Virtual Divine Artifacts were being devoured by Yuan Mie to facilitate its evolution. Chen Xiao nodded with a smile. That person also had his own views—although Virtual Divine Artifacts were extremely powerful and precious, the Virtual God had bestowed them merely so that he could safely enter the Tianlong Secret Treasury, set up the Virtual God Transmission Array, and bring the Virtual God’s true form here. If he couldn’t even get in, what use were these Virtual Divine Artifacts?

Immediately, those people began bidding frantically. Moments later, Chen Xiao ended up with three medium-grade top-tier Yuan Stone veins and four Virtual Divine Artifacts powered by the Virtual Divine Laws, all of which were quite formidable. Chen Xiao casually threw these items into the Main God’s Space, planning to have Yuan Mie devour them once everything was over. He couldn’t guarantee what would happen if Yuan Mie consumed them—after all, it was his guarantee for staying here, and no accidents were allowed at this time.

After arranging everything, Chen Xiao took out three keys—gold, blue, and black. These three keys floated in midair, with a light screen matching their respective colors appearing below. Only Chen Xiao and his group hadn’t entered yet; the owners of the other keys had already gone inside with their subordinates. The light screens emitted by the three keys could just accommodate eleven people. It seemed like these screens formed their own space, capable of fitting exactly eleven people regardless of their size. If a twelfth person tried to enter, they would be ejected.

Chen Xiao, along with thirty-two others, was enveloped by the light screens as they passed through the golden portal and entered the true interior of the Tianlong Secret Treasury. On the square, nearly a hundred people remained—some from Earth’s factions and others from the Source Continent. Seeing everyone else enter, they realized their mission had completely failed. But just as they turned to leave, they were shocked to find that the entrance to the labyrinth behind them had disappeared.

Boom! Suddenly, the entire space began to converge. Yes, the space itself was shrinking, and everything within it was being devoured. The ablers and cultivators present showed expressions of despair. They deeply regretted not paying the full price to gain the right to enter the secret treasury.

With a roar, the entire space collapsed abruptly. Everything on the square turned into nothingness, leaving only the golden-lit portal.

……

Chen Xiang and the others stepped through the golden portal and were stunned. This place was a world made of mirrors. Chen Xiao used his mental power to scan and found that there were ninety-nine mirrors, seemingly corresponding to the ninety-nine people who had come here.

The moment Chen Xiao entered with thirty-two people, the ninety-nine mirrors simultaneously emitted dazzling light, with powerful attracting forces radiating from them. Behind the mirrors lay a brilliantly bright world, and another figure appeared before Chen Xiao. This person wore white clothes, was about 1.75 meters tall, had an ordinary appearance, but fair skin—clearly another Chen Xiao. This Chen Xiao waved his hand, and the divine weapon Snowflakes Drifting appeared in his hand, while on his other side was the Abyssal Destruction Demon Sword. … Well, that’s all for today. I need to go home now—it’s another two hours by car.
