Chapter 203: Cain’s Treasure Hoard

Cain’s target was clearly Chen Xiao, who constantly emitted a fleshly scent, rather than the icy Demon Sword Yuanmie.
All evil spirits share one trait: they crave flesh, and even Yuanmie is no exception.
Thus, Cain paid no attention to Yuanmie at all; his target was Chen Xiao.
Buzz!
The blood-golden light on Yuanmie’s sword grew intenser, causing the entire blade to tremble slightly. It seemed to have suffered serious damage from its recent clash with Cain.
“Let’s go.”
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips. He grasped Yuanmie’s hilt, and together they entered the Main God Space.
“Young master, how’s the situation outside?”
As soon as Chen Xiao entered the Main God Space, the five divine disciples—Suo Hen, Meng Fei, Gui Gui, Mu Mu, and An Ying—immediately stepped forward.
“That progenitor Cain’s transformed evil spirit doesn’t seem very strong either,” Chen Xiao mused before recounting what was happening outside.
“A corpse of a god transformed into an evil spirit?” Suo Hen frowned slightly.
“You don’t need to worry about that. I have my own ways.”
Chen Xiao smiled. With a wave of his hand, four Virtual Divine Artifacts appeared in his hands. He then threw them right in front of Yuanmie.
These four Virtual Divine Artifacts contained extremely profound Virtual Divine Laws, even surpassing those of the Dragon Family’s Virtual Divine Axe.
Upon seeing them, Yuanmie’s entire body trembled with excitement. Almost instantly, its blade split open to form a giant mouth, which swallowed the four artifacts whole.
Buzz!
Immediately afterward, a strong bloodly scent emanated from Yuanmie’s sword, along with a blazing blood-golden light that made Chen Xiao squint slightly.
But the next moment, Yuanmie collapsed to the ground, its body shaking uncontrollably, with gurgling sounds coming from within.
“What’s going on?” Chen Xiao was slightly stunned by Yuanmie’s state.
“Young master, this guy has indigestion,” Meng Fei said after observing it briefly.
“Indigestion? A Virtual Divine Artifact evil spirit suffering from indigestion…” Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. Of course something went wrong. It was good he hadn’t given those four artifacts to Yuanmie to devour outside; otherwise, things would have gotten troublesome.
“Is there a solution?” Chen Xiao asked, frowning.
Suo Hen nodded. With a finger gesture, the Virtual Divine Laws in the Main God Space converged instantly and flowed into Yuanmie’s blade.
“Roar!”
A loud roar came from Yuanmie’s blade, followed by a bone-chilling chewing sound.
A fierce blood-golden light burst forth from Yuanmie’s blade once again. What was once blood-colored had now completely transformed into blood-gold.
“Young master, by devouring four Virtual Divine Artifacts of the same level, Yuanmie now possesses full Virtual Divine power. Moreover, it has fully evolved into an evolutionary semi-creature. If given enough Virtual Divine Laws, or even Divine Laws, it can transform into a Divine Artifact or even a higher existence,” Suo Hen explained.

“A rule of sufficiency?” Chen Xiao laughed.
The next moment, Chen Xiao and Yuanmie returned directly to this blood-red hall.
There was no time difference between the Main God’s Space and the outside world. By now, Cain had already rushed in front of Chen Xiao.
Boom!
This time, Yuanmie transformed into a blood-golden beam of light and slashed downward at Cain’s head with its sword.
The intense collision shook the entire space, sending Cain’s body flying backward, while its head was completely split in half and fell to the ground.
“Waaah…”
Cain let out a loud scream, and a new head grew back where its original head used to be. Moreover, the two halves of its head that had been severed by Yuanmie began to wriggle rapidly. In just a moment, two more Cains appeared in the blood-red hall.
These two new Cains were equally powerful as their original self.
“So that’s how it is.”
Chen Xiao instinctively stepped back. “Yuanmie, swallow them all three right away.”
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Yuanmie hesitated for a moment. By now, it was surrounded by the three Cains.
Fierce spirits also possess a certain level of intelligence. It had realized that the one hindering it from devouring flesh was this strange creature before it.
Then, as if having made up its mind, Yuanmie’s body suddenly swelled, its sword blade unfolding once more, and a massive force of absorption was released, instantly swallowing the unprepared three Cains.
Boom, boom, boom…
But in the blink of an eye, terrifying crashing sounds came from within Yuanmie’s body, and its sword blade began to crack slightly.
Clearly, these three living Void God fiends were still beyond its capacity to swallow.
But Chen Xiao smiled. With a wave of his hand, he sent Yuanmie back into the Main God’s Space. Once there, even if those three escaped from Yuanmie’s body, they would be like fish on a chopping board.
After the three Cains disappeared, the entire blood-red hall trembled. The blood-red throne in the hall suddenly rose into the air, and a blood-red glow slowly emerged from beneath it.
In an instant, divine power filled the entire void.
“Cain’s divine essence?” Seeing the blood-red glow, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. He stepped forward, ready to seize the divine essence, but the next moment, a blood-red light enveloped the void.
Boom!
It was as if an invisible door blocked Chen Xiao, preventing him from approaching the divine essence at all. Immediately afterward, a mechanical voice sounded in the void, and the hall suddenly changed its appearance.
The surrounding void turned into a solid form, resembling a cave, with a blood-red door keeping Chen Xiao at bay.
A blood-red giant lock secured the door.
“A key, a key… I see. I wonder what the key to this Cain’s treasure vault is?”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He reached out, and his magic sword, Yuanmie, appeared in his hand. By now, those three Cain fiends had already been completely swallowed by it, and Yuanmie’s power had risen to a new level.
“Yuanmie, do you know?” Chen Xiao asked.

Yuanmie had already devoured Cain, and in doing so, it also absorbed the soul memories of Bruch and Xina, who had been devoured by Cain.
Buzz!
Yuanmie transformed directly into a blood-gold sword beam, which pierced straight into the lockhole above the massive door.
Clang!
A sharp sound of metal striking echoed as the enormous lock fell off the door. With a rumbling noise, the blood-colored gate slowly opened.
Inside the blood-colored gate was a deep passage, devoid of any light. It seemed like the most mysterious black hole in the universe, capable of devouring everything.
The entrance to this passage resembled the maw of a giant beast.
Chen Xiao shrugged, tightly connecting his mind with the Main God’s space. At the same time, the Main God entity in his mental sea was hidden tightly. Yet, the powerful aura of the Main God filled Chen Xiao’s entire body.
The Demon Sword Yuanmie had also returned to Chen Xiao’s hands.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath before stepping into the passage.
Bang, bang, bang…
The moment Chen Xiao stepped in, the entire passage suddenly lit up—countless torches lined both sides of the passage. However, the flames on these torches were blood red, giving off an extremely eerie and ominous atmosphere. The torches themselves were made of human skulls.
Even Chen Xiao couldn’t help but shudder at such a sight.
On the walls of the passage were carved murals, which seemed to be moving, constantly evolving. The content of these murals appeared to depict a brutal war. The protagonist of this war was none other than Cain, who had just been devoured by Yuanmie.
In the murals, Cain held a short black dagger and swung it repeatedly. Countless powerful enemies rushed at him, only to be instantly killed by him. Behind Cain were thirteen shadowy figures, including Bruch.
As the mural progressed, the war took a turn for the worse. Cain’s army encountered resistance from a strange black race, suffering heavy losses. Of his thirteen sons, only Bruch survived.
At this point, Cain seemed to have encountered a powerful being, who slammed him to the ground with a single palm strike.
At this scene, the content of the mural came to an abrupt end, and the passage reached its end.
It was still a blood-colored hall, but completely different from before. It was filled with various riches and treasures—enough to make even a Virtual God envious. Dozens of high-quality elemental stone veins were casually scattered on the ground, and in every corner, countless powerful Virtual God artifacts, sealed for who knew how long, lay scattered about.
But Chen Xiao ignored all of this. At the center of the hall lay the corpse of a giant blood-colored bat, spanning hundreds of square meters in size.

This blood-red bat looked no different from an ordinary bat, covered in blood-red fur. On its forehead was a huge hole—clearly, its divine essence had been removed. Its eyelids were tightly closed and sunken, and its eyes had also been gouged out. A faint divine aura emanated from its body. Above the blood-red bat’s body was a black dagger; this dagger seemed like a black shadow, constantly moving and struggling within the space it occupied. Chen Xiao had seen this dagger before—it was the divine weapon held by Cain in the mural earlier. It must also be the sacred object of the vampires that Chris mentioned earlier. “Could this be Cain’s corpse? Then what was that just now?” Chen Xiao stared at the massive corpse of the blood bat, pondering for a moment. Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent both the corpse and the divine dagger into his Main God Space. As Cain’s corpse disappeared, the space behind him became visible again—the throne and the blood-red divine essence reappeared.
