Chapter 248: Fear

As Chen Xiao finished speaking, a golden little fleshy ball, flapping its black-and-white wings, flew out of thin air.
“Release a cat?”
Long Xiaoyun blinked and glanced at the golden ball, almost laughing.
He examined it carefully before confirming it was indeed a cat—a cat that looked like a ball.
Was this Chen Xiao’s trump card?
“Chen Xiao, are you saying that after I help you catch these guys, you’ll just give me that fish?”
Xi Xi turned around and said uncertainly.
“Of course. As long as you subdue them all, I’ll give you as much fish as you want.”
Chen Xiao grinned, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.
“Hmm, Xi Xi will go all out for my fish!”
Xi Xi flapped its wings and swung its tiny fists, instantly appearing in front of Long Xiaoyun. Before he could react, it punched him in the face.
“Ugh…”
Long Xiaoyun let out a few groans from his throat before collapsing unconscious.
Long Xiaoyun, a peak Void God with divine artifacts and the ability to comprehend divine laws—a peerless warrior—had been knocked out by this seemingly harmless golden kitten.
The other nine peak Void Gods couldn’t help but swallow hard, stepping back slightly.
It was terrifying! All nine of them were warriors who dominated the World of Superpowers for ages. Even on the Source Continent, they could have established immortal empires. But now, they were terrified by a single cat—a powerful cat—to the point of lacking the courage to flee.
“Stay still, and let Xi Xi knock you out one by one.”
Xi Xi waved its fists toward the other nine peak Void Gods, then threw nine punches in a row, knocking them out as well.
“Done!”
A smile appeared on Xi Xi’s face. It cast a slightly malicious glance at Chen Xiao. With its strength, it could easily assess Chen Xiao’s true capabilities.
“Give me fish quickly… Hmm…”
Suddenly, fear flashed in Xi Xi’s eyes.
Now that the ten Void Gods were unconscious, the spatial barrier they had created together was broken, revealing the surroundings.
They were in an unknown corner of the World of Superpowers, surrounded by darkness, gray mist, and endless emptiness.
A golden glow flashed in Xi Xi’s eyes, and its face twisted with fear as it cried to Chen Xiao, “Let me go back! Let me go back! Ugh… I don’t want to stay here! It’s too terrifying! Where is this? I want to go back! Ugh… Sister, save me!”
Xi Xi threw itself at Chen Xiao’s face and burst into tears.
“Ugh…”

Chen Xiao was shocked by Xi Xi’s behavior. He struggled to pull her off his face and then asked, “What’s wrong with you? What scared you so much?”
“Let me go back! Let me go back! I don’t want to stay here! I don’t want to stay here…” Xi Xi just kept screaming desperately, using her tiny front paws to cover her eyes.
Chen Xiao had no choice but to turn to Gui Gui and Mu Mu and say, “Take these people back to the Thousand Souls Realm. Kill that red-faced old man. Hand Long Xiaoyun and that Dragon Knight over to Floating Cloud to devour. Keep an eye on the rest.”
After giving those orders, Chen Xiao flashed away, taking Xi Xi back to the Main God’s Space.
“Could he see through those corpses floating in the sky?”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao had an idea. He set Xi Xi down.
Once in the Main God’s Space, Xi Xi came to her senses. She looked at Chen Xiao pitifully and said, “Please don’t send me to that place again, okay? I’m scared…”
“Hm?” Chen Xiao looked at her with a playful expression and then said, “What in that place could scare Xi Xi, the fearless one?”
“Hm…” Xi Xi blinked and then said fiercely, “The Land of Godly Collapse! That’s the legendary Land of Godly Collapse! You actually sent me there! Didn’t you see those corpses floating in the sky? They’re all corpses of gods! All true spirit gods! There are even a few corpses of Main Gods! I’m not from this Land of Godly Collapse. Did you bring me here to kill Xi Xi?”
Xi Xi suddenly jumped up and started screaming at Chen Xiao frantically.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned. It wasn’t the first time he had heard the name “Land of Godly Collapse.” Previously, Cassius had also mentioned it—this World of Superpowers had another name: the Land of Godly Collapse!
But Cassius knew nothing about the specific secrets of this place. As a Void God from the Land of Origins, he didn’t dare to come here lightly either.
The powerful beings who came from the Land of Origins only sent a few domain cultivators to this World of Superpowers to make arrangements. As for those Void Gods, they entered the Dragon Knight’s Secret Vault directly through the Void God Transmission Array.
They didn’t dare to get even close to this World of Superpowers.
Clearly, this World of Superpowers held an unparalleled deterrent power over those gods and Void Gods.
And just now, Xi Xi said that all those corpses floating in the sky were true spirit gods, including even some Main Gods’ corpses!
What kind of concept was that?!
There were so many of them in the sky, covering the entire World of Superpowers—how many godly corpses were there in total?
Chen Xiao felt a chill in his heart.
What kind of place was this World of Superpowers? Why had so many supreme gods perished here?
Moreover, Chen Xiao also remembered that golden sun in the sky—lifeless, devoid of any vitality, seemingly dead as well.
Chen Xiao shook his head and asked, “Do you know any secrets about this Land of Godly Collapse?”

Hixi blinked upon hearing Chen Xiao’s question, pondered for a long time, and then hesitantly said, “This is a taboo that has been passed down in the Land of Origins. On that continent, every deity or virtual god knows of the existence of this Land of Divine Collapse. Yet throughout ages, not a single deity, not even the supreme Lord God, has set foot here.”
“This is the tomb of all gods. Even at the entrance to this Land of Divine Collapse, there is extremely powerful protection on that planet called Earth.”
“What else? How was this Land of Divine Collapse formed? How did those higher deities fall?” Chen Xiao eagerly asked.
“I don’t know,” Hixi shook her head. “Everyone knows that countless higher deities have fallen here, and deep within this land lie many treasures of deities. But throughout history, every deity who came here, even true spirit gods, never returned—their soul imprints were completely shattered.”
“Later, it is said that the Dark Lord God Montsta, a supreme lord god, descended here, but no news of him has been heard since.”
Hixi patted her chest, still visibly shaken.
“If you send me, Master Hixi, there, aren’t you trying to kill me?” After saying that, she turned and left, so frightened that she even forgot her fish.
“Uh…” Hearing the name of the Dark Lord God Montsta, Chen Xiao felt a slight stir in his heart. Montsta had once existed in that space deep within the Tianlong Secret Treasury—not in the World of Superpowers…
“Wait!” Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s expression changed. It seemed there were also evil spirits in the Tianlong Secret Treasury, and their transformation required the death energy released after deities fell.
“Could it be… that the Tianlong Secret Treasury actually exists in the World of Superpowers?”
Chen Xiao’s mind was confused. These matters seemed distant from him, yet they were intricately connected to him.
The space within the Tianlong Secret Treasury seemed to obey Chen Xiao’s commands. And he knew the reason for this—because of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal in his body and that map. Even his parents might be closely related to this.
At that moment, a faint mist seemed to envelop Chen Xiao. He could see ahead, but not clearly.
“Let’s not think about these for now. We’ll make plans after obtaining that fragment of the Dragon Family’s Map of the Sky.”
Chen Xiao glanced at Hixi. He knew well that from now on, even if forced, he wouldn’t dare go out again.
“I was careless this time too, almost getting myself into danger… It seems that even with the existence of the Lord God’s Space, I can’t guarantee my own safety. If that sealing power had been just a little stronger, I would have completely lost contact with the Lord God’s Space…”
At this point, Chen Xiao completely shed his arrogance. In the past, with the Lord God’s Space at his disposal and countless divine disciples by his side, he thought himself invincible. Even in the Tianlong Secret Treasury, facing deities, he believed he could escape unscathed.

But this time, just ten Void Gods, combined with a divine artifact, nearly killed Chen Xiao—this made Chen Xiao fully realize the situation.
“Power, power! If I can find a way to devour another divine artifact now, perhaps I’ll truly have the strength to rival the Void Gods?”
Chen Xiao stared at the divine artifacts in the Main God’s Space, filled with rage. His Origin Spirit Fire was not strong enough to refine these artifacts at all.
“Hmm? The Origin Spirit Fire seems capable of devouring laws and enhancing power… Those ten peak Void Gods’ laws…”
Chen Xiao’s eyes gleamed slightly. In a flash, he returned to the Thousand Souls Realm.
At that moment, the ten peak Void Gods, a peak Void God-level Tianlong, and a low-level Void God lay on the ground like dead dogs.
Fuyun, on the other hand, had glowing eyes as he stared at the fiery Tianlong.
“It’s actually a descendant of the Tianlong Emperor…”
…
