Chapter 252: The Power of the Gods

Chen Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The blood-colored fiend was the main purpose of his journey deep into this world of supernatural powers! As for the other fiends, they were merely incidental.
Now, in this valley, he finally spotted a blood-colored fiend. Though it was only a low-level Void God fiend, once turned into a puppet, it would still remain a Void God, possessing a body of that nature.
The moment Chen Xiao saw this Void God fiend, he stopped paying attention to the others. Compared to it, those lower-level fiends were utterly useless.
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand, and the power of the purple world’s phantom surged forth, empowering him. At the same time, the true form of Qi Tian Kuo appeared as a faint phantom, piercing through the head of the blood-colored fiend below.
With the power of the world’s forces enhancing it, Qi Tian Kuo’s strength was fully unleashed—even more terrifying than when he used the Sky-Sword Art to kill Wan Si Yu Xiu.
Boom!
The blood-colored fiend didn’t even realize Chen Xiao’s presence before it was utterly annihilated, its soul completely shattered. Yet, the laws of the Void God within it remained intact.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xiao brought the corpse of the blood-colored fiend into the Main God Space, while the laws of the Void God inside it were devoured by the primordial spirit fire within him.
Below, the other fiends realized the death of the Void God fiend only after a few breaths and scattered in all directions.
But the “Snowflakes Falling” domain within Chen Xiao’s body had already activated, killing them all and bringing them into the Main God Space.
At this point, Chen Xiao’s true strength had surpassed that of a low-level Void God, even rivaling that of an intermediate one.
However, his realm was still too weak. Despite his formidable power, he was still at the Source Realm level. Against a peak Void God or a higher-ranked one, he could only flee.
Previously, he had been able to defeat the powerful Wan Si Yu Xiu because Wan Si Yu Xiu had dismissed him as an insect and failed to see him as a threat, allowing Chen Xiao to strike suddenly.
“This is the first blood-colored fiend. The presence of such fiends proves we’re now in the true depths of this world of supernatural powers. Now… hunting begins…”
It had only been half a day since he arrived, yet Chen Xiao had already reached the true depths of this world. There were still two days left before attacking the Dragon family.
During these two days, Chen Xiao needed to organize and build a massive army of Void God fiend puppets.
“I wonder if that Dark Lord has spread the news about me being a public enemy of all gods… I can’t reveal the Glory Temple for now… But it seems even the Great Immortal knows about the Glory Temple. I need to make third-party preparations.”
Chen Xiao thought for a moment. He wanted to reestablish a faction that belonged neither to him nor the Glory Temple, but was an independent third party.
As the Great Ancestor once said, one shouldn’t put all eggs in one basket—always have backups.
Yet, both of Chen Xiao’s backups carried the risk of being exposed. The title of “public enemy of all gods” sent chills down his spine.

He didn’t want all his efforts to go to waste, so he planned to separate a portion of the elite from the Chen family’s forces and the Glory Temple’s forces to form a third party.
“Void God Fiend Puppet, you are my trump card. In this world of supernatural powers, never disappoint me.”
Chen Xiao’s gaze flickered as he moved gracefully onward, delving deeper into the world of supernatural powers.
The deeper he went, the higher the level of the fiends and beasts. However, Chen Xiao wasn’t too concerned about them; he had only encountered a few Void God-level beasts, killing them and using his Origin Spirit Fire to absorb their Void God laws.
But when it came to fiends, no matter their level, Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate—he would immediately kill them and seize their bodies.
By now, Chen Xiao had collected the bodies of over a dozen low-level Void God fiends, but he hadn’t seen a single high-level or peak Void God fiend.
“I can’t go any further…”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao instinctively sensed danger ahead—seemingly an ancient beast was lurking, its cold gaze fixed intently on him.
“How terrifying! Is it a god-level fiend? Or a beast?”
Chen Xiao was shocked. In the Heavenly Dragon Secret Repository, although he had encountered gods, he was a special existence there, and the pressure exerted by the gods wasn’t very strong. Even facing Xi Xi, he hadn’t felt much.
But here, with a god-like creature lurking ahead, his heart raced uncontrollably.
Though Chen Xiao possessed a Supreme Godhood and an extraordinary existence like Tian Tu, the sheer pressure of a god’s power left him breathless.
“How terrifying! Is this what a true god is like?”
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly retreated. At the same time, the auras of Qi Tian Kuo and Snowflakes Drifting vanished completely, hiding within his Origin Spirit Fire in his dantian.
Now, Chen Xiao’s aura was that of an ordinary Source Realm supernatural being—nothing but an ant in front of a god, easily crushed at will.
Feeling Chen Xiao retreating, the unknown god finally lowered its gaze, shifting its attention away from him.
“What terrifying mental power! It almost crushed my body just with its will…”
By then, Chen Xiao had withdrawn the protection of his divine weapons, and his physical strength was now comparable to that of an ordinary Source Realm supernatural being—far too weak to resist a god’s mental power.
Fortunately, he had promptly retrieved Snowflakes Drifting and Qi Tian Kuo; otherwise, attracting that god’s attention would have left him with no chance of returning to the Supreme God Space.
Ten peak Void God beings combined to create a spatial blockade, enough to suppress the power of the Supreme God Space. Now, with a true god appearing, it was likely they could directly seal off the Supreme God Space, cutting off Chen Xiao’s connection to it.
As his strength grew, Chen Xiao realized increasingly that his dependence on the Supreme God Space was too great—a bad thing.
Only after leaving that god’s domain did Chen Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

“That’s a true deity—truly terrifying…”
Chen Xiao let out a long sigh. “Fortunately, in the Hidden Treasures of Tianlong, I didn’t completely lose myself. I thought I really had the strength to confront a deity.”
He shook his head fiercely and then said, “The appearance of deities in this world of supernatural powers proves that this place has reached a higher level. Well, let’s first check other areas to see if there are any other evil spirits or virtual deities.”
Chen Xiao turned around and suddenly disappeared from that space.
“Is that the person the Great Immortal Senior has his eye on? Hmm, just an ordinary Source Realm supernatural being…”
After Chen Xiao left, a strange mental fluctuation began to spread slowly through the space.
“However, he must possess a divine artifact; otherwise, he would never have easily eliminated that peerless genius from the Wan Si family. Strange… why can’t I sense the existence of that divine artifact?”
Murmurs echoed throughout the space, filled with deep confusion.
“Hmm… but the Great Immortal Senior’s judgment can never be wrong… Should I follow him?”
