Chapter 292: The Realm of Freedom

Chen Xiao had no idea that two ancient monsters had already set their sights on him. At that moment, he was exerting all his strength to harness the power of Qi Tian Jue, flying toward the edge of the seal, where the map of the Realm of Freedom lay. As Chen Xiao approached, the map began to tremble slightly, showing a tendency to fly toward him. However, the silver spatial seal seemed to have trapped it in another space and time—no matter how hard the map struggled, it couldn’t break through the seal.

In the next instant, Chen Xiao’s body reached the edge of the spatial seal. “The power of time… and space…” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Instantly, two icy blue flames burst from his eyes, and his palms were enveloped in the Primordial Spirit Fire. He gently extended his right hand and touched the luminous wall of the seal. Immediately, the power within the wall began to be slowly drawn away by the Primordial Spirit Fire and assimilated into his own strength.

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up as an even more intense Primordial Spirit Fire erupted from his body. Now, the power of the Supreme God within him was sufficient to sustain this fire for a long time. Gritting his teeth, he plunged into the spatial seal in an instant.

…

“Uh… he just went in like that?” Hei Tong and Hong Lan blinked in disbelief, exchanging a look. They had nearly exhausted all their strength using the power of the spatial seal, and it seemed someone had deliberately created a gap for them to pass through—otherwise, they would still be trapped inside. Even now, it would be impossible for them to return through the seal, as its power was too terrifying; even a True Spirit God would get lost in it. But seeing Chen Xiao enter so easily, without any effort, made them view him differently.

“This kid must be pretending to be weak while actually being extremely dangerous! Good thing we didn’t act rashly just now,” Hei Tong thought, feeling anxious. The way Chen Xiao entered the seal was beyond their understanding. These people were merely insect-like beings who knew nothing about the Primordial Spirit Fire.

“It seems we need to change tactics… Can we seduce someone like him?” Hong Lan lost confidence again in an instant. Yet, they didn’t act recklessly and simply watched as Chen Xiao entered the seal.

…

“The time and space here have all been shattered by powerful forces… turned into some kind of mush?” As soon as Chen Xiao entered the seal, he was stunned. The seal was filled with fragments of time and space, along with chaotic forces that tried to invade his body. But outside his body, the terrifying Primordial Spirit Fire devoured these forces, turning them into pathways of the primordial energy and integrating them into himself. In other words, thanks to the Primordial Spirit Fire, the chaotic forces in the seal couldn’t cause him any harm—they instead became nourishment for the fire, enhancing its power.

But now, Chen Xiao was also in extreme distress. The release of the Primordial Spirit Fire consumed too much of the Primordial God’s power. Although his strength had improved, he couldn’t sustain such consumption for long.
“I must get that Map of the Free Heavens as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I’m not consumed by this spatial seal, I’ll be burned to death by the Primordial Spirit Fire.”
Beads of sweat the size of beans were already streaming down Chen Xiao’s forehead. Gritting his teeth, he struggled forward step by step through the chaotic forces.
The power here was extremely viscous. Even with the Primordial Spirit Fire, Chen Xiao could barely move.
“Map of the Free Heavens, appear!”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s eyes turned pale blue. Two blue glows shot out from his eyes. Instantly, a blue phantom force erupted around his body, resonating directly with the Map of the Free Heavens.
Boom!
The Map of the Free Heavens trembled violently, drifting uncontrollably through the chaotic space toward Chen Xiao’s body.
The next moment, Chen Xiao gritted his teeth again. All the power in his body surged into the Primordial Spirit Fire. In an instant, all the chaotic forces around him were burned away, creating a vacuum zone.
By the time all the power in Chen Xiao’s body was exhausted, the pale blue Map of the Free Heavens had already rushed into his body.
Boom!
An unknown tremor arose in the void. Somehow, the power of the Free Heavens was drawn down and entered the map within Chen Xiao’s mind.
The next moment, that infinite power acted upon Chen Xiao’s soul, causing it to undergo a complete transformation in an instant.
“Soul…”
A burst of brilliance shot from Chen Xiao’s eyes, piercing through the void in an instant.
A Virtual God is called a god because its soul is essentially a god’s soul—the only thing lacking is a solidified Virtual God form.
But within Chen Xiao, there already existed a god form!
Thus, he didn’t belong to the level of Virtual God. However, souls also have levels. Chen Xiao’s current soul was merely a low-level one, so his true rank was already equivalent to that of a true god, an actual deity.
“Is this the realm of a deity? Ascending to heaven… the first level of the Free Heavens. So that’s how it is…”
Chen Xiao instantly understood that there was no hierarchical division among the nine heavens. Each heaven could serve as the first step in ascending to heaven. Yet, the combined power of these nine heavens was extremely terrifying.
What was meant by ascending to heaven was to continuously draw upon the power of the nine heavens from the void to enhance oneself.
Now, Chen Xiao could already use the power of the Purple Sky Phantom and part of the Map of the Free Heavens’ power.
At this point, his soul had evolved into a divine soul, fully unleashing the power of the Primordial God form and allowing him to use more of the Primordial God’s power to sustain the Primordial Spirit Fire.
Moreover, his domain had now completely transformed into a divine realm, bringing him closer to a true world.
“This is the power of a god…” A hint of joy appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. By becoming a deity, a true god, he now possessed the power to protect himself and the strength to search for his parents.
“Free Heavens, Free Heavens—freedom and ease! Dragon of the Heavens, advance!”

The power of the Heavenly Shadow instantly enveloped him. Chen Xiao’s body moved like a soaring dragon, freely navigating through this chaotic space without any hindrance. Of course, this was only possible because the Primordial Spirit Fire neutralized that terrifying chaotic force, protecting Chen Xiao’s body. “Get out!” Chen Xiao had reached the edge of the spacetime seal. “Wait, it seems I now have the ability to see what exactly is sealed within that spacetime seal.”
