Chapter 255: Eight Hundred Illusory Gods

As Chen Xiao grew more proficient in controlling the Primordial Spirit Fire, his combat power grew stronger by the day. His body wandered through the depths of the supernatural world, where he swiftly slew one fierce spirit after another at the level of Illusory God. He refined the laws of these Illusory Gods and sent their bodies to the Main God’s Space, transforming them into monstrous puppets.

With the increasing power of the Primordial Spirit Fire, the two divine artifacts within Chen Xiao’s body—Snowflakes Drifting and Heavens-Defying Blade—began to show signs of merging. Within the domain created by Snowflakes Drifting, each delicate snowflake petal actually turned out to be a blade from the Heavens-Defying Blade, far sharper than the ordinary snowflakes before. Once this domain was activated, it filled the air with flying snow blades. Ordinary cultivators at the domain realm level who entered it would likely have their domains torn apart instantly, leaving them completely dismembered.

However, this domain wasn’t Chen Xiao’s own—it was a manifestation of the power of Snowflakes Drifting combined with the Heavens-Defying Blade. At present, Chen Xiao couldn’t fully unleash its maximum power.

By now, those lower-tier Illusory God-level monsters were no match for Chen Xiao. They were almost instantly killed upon encountering him. Even the mid-tier Illusory God monsters could only barely resist his attacks.

For Chen Xiao, this was not just a hunt but also a trial. He used these Illusory God monsters from the depths of the supernatural world to hone his skills.

Using the domain created by Snowflakes Drifting as a foundation, various cultivation techniques flowing from the Heavenly Map also began to slowly integrate into it. Even the forces of the purple world emanating from its shadow joined this domain. In terms of strength, this snow domain surpassed those at the ninth level of the ordinary domain realm, but it still fell far short compared to an Illusory God domain. After all, Chen Xiao was still just an abler at the Source Realm level.

“Fortunately, though these monsters possess intelligence, it’s extremely limited. They became Illusory Gods solely because they carried the laws of Illusory Gods in their lives.”

Chen Xiao casually killed a mid-tier Illusory God monster, refined its laws of Illusory God, and stored its body in the Main God’s Space. He always acted with extreme caution when killing them, destroying their souls directly while keeping their bodies intact.

Gradually, Chen Xiao realized that despite being at the Illusory God level, these monsters couldn’t utilize their own Illusory God domains, nor could they fully control the laws of Illusory Gods to unleash their full power.

Right now, Chen Xiao could freely slaughter mid-tier Illusory God monsters head-on here. But if he were to face a true mid-tier Illusory God, he would likely be no match at all.

A true Illusory God could perfectly control the laws of Illusory Gods within itself, its own Illusory God domain, and even possess divine artifacts. Chen Xiao could rely on his elusive combat techniques to launch surprise attacks and kill lower-tier Illusory Gods, but it was better not to provoke mid-tier ones.

In the depths of this world of supernatural powers, there are countless vicious spirit gods. Even in some mountains and valleys, they are densely packed, just like cockroaches in the mundane world.
“Strange, why are there only low- and mid-level spirit god-level vicious spirits here? Aren’t there any higher-level ones?”
Chen Xiao looked deeper. There should be higher-level or even peak spirit god-level vicious spirits there, but there were also gods in that area. Facing gods, Chen Xiao had no chance but to be instantly killed.
“Guigui, how many spirit god puppets are there in the Main God Space now?”
Chen Xiao connected his mental power to the Main God Space and asked casually.
“Young master, after these vicious spirit gods are transformed into puppets, their ranks don’t decrease. Currently, there are 2,234 low-level spirit god puppets and 432 mid-level ones,” Guigui replied.
Originally, according to Floating Cloud’s method, transforming vicious spirits into puppets would lower their ranks. But these methods were improved by several disciples in the Main God Space, resulting in puppets with the same ranks as before. Moreover, there were countless spirit god laws in the Main God Space. While creating the puppets, Guigui and Mumu infused these laws into them, endowing them with the power of those laws. Now, these puppets were humanoid virtual divine artifacts. Although not as spiritually rich as Yuanmie, they were still extremely powerful.
“2,666 spirit god puppets…”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He calculated the time—two days had passed since then. Adding the half day it took him to head to the Vampire Clan, there was still half a day left before facing the Dragon Clan.
“Young master.”
Suddenly, Shuiyueying’s voice reached Chen Xiao’s mind.
“Hm?” Chen Xiao frowned. Shuiyueying was in charge of guarding the Thousand Souls Domain. Unless something serious happened, she would never contact him.
“Young master, the Dragon Clan has united hundreds of spirit gods to surround the Thousand Souls Domain. The Water Screen Tianhua Formation I set up can’t hold much longer,” Shuiyueying’s voice carried a hint of exhaustion.
“Hundreds of spirit gods? Could it be that the people from the Dragon Clan have also gone deep into the world of supernatural powers to hunt for vicious spirit gods?”
Chen Xiao was stunned, but without hesitation, he entered the Main God Space and then returned to the Thousand Souls Domain.
At that moment, the entire Thousand Souls Island was covered by a transparent water screen. Through it, Chen Xiao could see hundreds of spirit gods floating in the sky. Although they were only low-level, hundreds of such spirits were still extremely terrifying.
“Where did these guys come from? The Dragon Clan definitely doesn’t have such strength—having eight hundred spirit gods in one faction…”
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. He glanced back.
Shuiyueying’s face was pale, with a trickle of bright red blood flowing from her lips. Above her head floated a shiny mirror that emitted a faint glow, enveloping her body. Clearly, this mirror was a divine artifact of high quality.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, his mental energy surging as it connected directly to Fu Yun, who was currently in the secular world. Now that Chen Xiao’s strength had increased, his mental energy could penetrate the barrier between the secular world and the world of supernatural powers, allowing him to communicate with his followers. “Fu Yun, how are things with the vampires?” Chen Xiao asked in a low voice. “Young master, the vampires have completely surrendered. Those who resist have submitted to Chris. The vampires are now entirely under our control,” Fu Yun’s voice echoed back. “Good. You and Yuan Mie lead the powerful vampires to swiftly capture the Dragon family’s territories in the world of supernatural powers. Leave Dragon Family’s ‘sunny areas’ alone… Remember, I want them dead, not alive,” Chen Xiao said coldly. “Yes, young master!” Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Fu Yun’s eyes lit up. By killing the Dragon family’s descendants, he could absorb more of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, transform his own bloodline, and advance to the rank of emperor. “Also, quickly consolidate the vampires’ forces in the secular world and hand them over to the Eight Extreme Wolf Emperor. Attack the Dragon family’s secular forces and completely destroy their footholds in the secular world. If any Dark Vampires or Church members try to cause trouble during this time, destroy them completely!” … The connection between Chen Xiao and Fu Yun lasted only a moment. Afterward, he said to Shui Yueying, “Yueying, remove that water screen.” Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Shui Yueying was momentarily stunned but couldn’t defy his will. With a wave of her hand, she removed the thin water screen. “Young master…” Shui Yueying glanced at Chen Xiao before saying, “My name is Shui Yueying. My surname is Shui Yue. Please don’t separate my surname.” “Hmm…” Chen Xiao’s expression froze for a moment before he nodded helplessly. … Outside, the Virtual Gods brought by the Dragon family saw the turtle-shell barrier outside Thousand Souls Island suddenly disappear and stopped attacking as well. “I never expected there to be such a figure in this Thousand Souls Domain, able to withstand the attacks of eight hundred Virtual Gods for an entire hour using just a formation…” Among the Dragon family members was a peak-level Virtual God with red beard and hair, a robust build, and an imposing appearance. This Virtual God was on par with Xueye Canhua, whom Chen Xiao had met before, only half a step away from the true realm of gods, with his Virtual God essence already half-physicalized. He could now even confront some gods who had achieved divinity through the refinement of their god essences head-on. “It seems this is the Dragon family’s ancestor…” A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. His body slowly rose from the ground into the air. Seeing this, his three divine disciples—Guigui, Mumu, and Shui Yueying—quickly flew up as well and positioned themselves behind Chen Xiao to protect him. “I am Chen Xiao. I apologize for not greeting you properly as you’ve come from afar.” Facing those eight hundred Virtual Gods, Chen Xiao bowed slightly with a smile on his face. “Chen Xiao, I thought you’d always stay hidden like a coward.” The Dragon family’s ancestor, Long Tianhong, also smiled. He knew well that now, the two Remnant Heaven Maps on Chen Xiao’s body, along with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal, all belonged to the Dragon family.

Eight hundred Virtual Gods are already enough to sweep away any faction in the World of Superpowers. Even if the Three Nights Family unites, they would be utterly destroyed. With eight hundred Virtual Gods, the Long family is already invincible.

“A cowardly turtle?” Chen Xiao curled his lips and said, “It seems it’s always been your Long family that acts like turtles, right?”

Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Long Tianhong wasn’t angered. He smiled and said, “Chen Xiao, you’re talented. You entered the World of Superpowers just half a year ago, yet you’ve already organized such a large faction and become one of the top forces here. You’re really good.”

Long Tianhong praised Chen Xiao highly before adding, “As long as you hand over the Map of the Ruined Sky and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal and join my Long family, I’ll spare you. How about that?”

A broad smile appeared on Long Tianhong’s face.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Chen Xiao curled his lips again. “I’ve killed several of your Long family’s Virtual Gods. I’m sure many in your family hate me and are waiting to avenge themselves. Moreover, your family attacked my grandfather, and my parents are missing. Is there still any room for negotiation between us?”

Chen Xiao spoke bluntly; he wasn’t bothered to waste words on these people.

“I’m just puzzled. Why can your Long family deploy eight hundred Virtual Gods at once? With such power, the World of Superpowers should already belong to you.”

Chen Xiao asked, pretending to be confused.

“Hahaha…”

Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Long Tianhong burst into laughter.

“You’re very brave. Facing eight hundred Virtual Gods, you still remain calm and dare to oppose my Long family.” Long Tianhong nodded. “But these Virtual Gods aren’t mine. Even all the major factions in the World of Superpowers can’t gather eight hundred of them. We can rely on these eight hundred Virtual Gods this time only because of you, Chen Xiao.”

Long Tianhong stopped talking after saying that.

“Chen Xiao, so, are you choosing death? By killing you, we can still get the Map of the Ruined Sky and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal.”

It seemed Long Tianhong still wanted to make one last attempt to subdue Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao remained silent, deep in thought as if pondering something.

“Long Tianhong, this kid seems to be buying time. Be careful.”

Suddenly, a high-ranking Virtual God beside Long Tianhong spoke up.

“Buying time?” Long Tianhong was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Mr. Wan Si, even if he’s buying time, what can he do? Does he have any allies who can fight against eight hundred Virtual Gods?”

Long Tianhong had full confidence in the eight hundred Virtual Gods behind him.

“Mr. Wan Si? It must be because of that Wan Si Yuxiu… from the Guardians Family?”

Chen Xiao blinked.

“Ah, I’ve finally found this kid.” Suddenly, the figure of an old man from the depths of the World of Superpowers appeared in the sky above Thousand Souls Island. “How did he get here? A space crystal card? No, I didn’t sense any fluctuations from a space crystal card… Hmm, it must be the Great Immortalsenior…”

“Hmm, facing eight hundred Virtual Gods alone? This kid is quite bold. Should I go down and help him? But it seems like he’s just buying time… Well, I’ll think about it later.”

“Young master, the 2,866 Void God Fiend Puppetry figures have been fully crafted. Now, empowered by the Void God laws in the Supreme God’s space, they have fully become mid-level Void Gods, while those 400 mid-level Void Gods have all transformed into high-level Void Gods.” At that moment, a voice echoed in Chen Xiao’s mind. This voice sounded slightly tired. “Ling Yan, you’ve done very well,” Chen Xiao nodded, praising his newly summoned divine disciple Ling Yan. “Now, shouldn’t we let our friends meet them?” A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips. “Chen Xiao, what’s your decision?” Seeing Chen Xiao’s expression, Long Tianhong inexplicably felt a sense of foreboding, but he quickly dismissed it. After all, there were 800 Void Gods behind him. “I say, let my subordinates come out to meet our friends…” Chen Xiao smiled. With a wave of his hand, the space behind him trembled violently, and over 2,800 Golden Armored Divine Generals appeared in a line behind him.
