Chapter 343: The Fallen Divine Realm

“What Xueye Senior said is true.”
Chen Xiao slowly turned his head to look at the spotless man who had appeared behind him at some unknown moment—Xueye Canhua.
“Senior, rest assured. What I, Chen Xiao, say will surely come true.”
Chen Xiao gave Xueye Canhua a slight smile.
Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Xueye Canhua smiled faintly before disappearing.
Chen Xiao took out a jade talisman from his bosom—it was the very same one that Xueye Canhua had given him earlier, allowing him to sense the presence of Mingye.
Now, Chen Xiao was a true True Spirit God, with his soul embodying the Two Principles of Truth, making him incredibly powerful.
“There’s a soul energy within this. If that soul energy senses its true form, it will become extremely active.”
Chen Xiao glanced briefly at the talisman and saw everything clearly. There were no hidden traps set by Xueye Canhua on it.
“Xueye Canhua once said that only by finding Mingye could I discover the true whereabouts of my parents…”
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment. In fact, he already understood that on his journey to find his parents, he would likely encounter more and more残天图, which he would need to incorporate into the Heavenly Map to ascend.
It seemed this was an inevitable path. Once he found his mother, the Heavenly Map would likely be completed. As for what would happen afterward, Chen Xiao wasn’t sure—perhaps he would ascend to become the god above gods, or else his efforts might be wasted, even costing him his life.
However, Chen Xiao had now separated everything about himself from the Heavenly Map. Even the Heavenly Bloodline brought by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Seal had been completely refined by the power of the Two Principles.
With the addition of this power, Chen Xiao’s fate had begun to change slightly. Yet his cultivation level was still far too low. Only by truly refining the primal elements of fire and water within his dantian could he truly break free from his fate.
…
At this moment, Chen Xiao had completely hidden all traces of his presence. He moved through the world of superpowers like a mere shadow, wielding the full power of Tianlong You.
There were still many spies of the Death Lord in this world. If they provoked the Death Lord, it would be dangerous.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted in the void. A gigantic black door appeared before Chen Xiao, seemingly accessible from every direction.
This door was awe-inspiring, reaching from heaven to earth, towering so high that it blocked all paths ahead of Chen Xiao.
“Stop!”
A majestic voice rang out. Immediately afterward, a giant face over a hundred meters long appeared in the void.
It was a clone of a supreme god.
Chen Xiao stopped instantly. A glint appeared in his hand, and a jade-colored token appeared there.
“Pass!”
The giant face saw the token in Chen Xiao’s hand and, without hesitation, simply said “Pass.”

Immediately, that black door slowly opened a crack, and in an instant, an endless stream of deathly energy surged out from it. Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly, and he swiftly stepped through the door. In that instant, the endless deathly energy behind the door rushed toward his body, trying to extinguish all vitality within him and turn him into a true creature of death. This deathly energy was completely different from the pure yin energy in the Netherworld. Although pure yin energy was the origin of creatures in the Netherworld, even they could not withstand such terrifying deathly energy. Deathly energy represented death—even creatures from the Netherworld could die! “What terrifying deathly energy! How many gods must have died to produce such a dreadful aura?” An expression of disbelief flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes. “Life and death, dual destruction—rotate!” Inside Chen Xiao’s mind, the Diagram of Yin and Yang spun rapidly, absorbing this deathly energy and transforming it into the power of Yin and Yang. Under the rule of life and death, this deathly energy still had to be transformed. Gradually, Chen Xiao’s body adapted to everything around him. “Heavens, is this the core of this world of superpowers, or the Land of God’s Fall?” Chen Xiao opened his eyes to find nothing but endless darkness. Even with his current senses, he couldn’t see anything. There was only one explanation: absolute darkness, without a single ray of light! Chen Xiao slowly sent out his mental energy. In this boundless darkness, his mental power, which could almost rival that of a supreme god, could only spread about a hundred meters. “Damn it, what kind of place is this?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Moments later, the Heavenly Map, which had been separated in his mind by the power of Yin and Yang, slowly emerged. Now, the map contained the Purple Sky Shadow, the Free Sky Shadow, the Reincarnation Sky Shadow, the Netherworld Shadow, and half of the Lihen Sky Map. Tian Ming had said that he and Chen Xiao’s mother had been swept away by the Heart of the Heavenly Map. Since Tian Ming returned to the Netherworld and the Heart was not with him, it meant the Heart must be in Chen Xiao’s mother’s possession. Through the connection between the maps, Chen Xiao should be able to sense the Heart and thus find his mother. “Could it be that my mother is in that so-called, sealed Heavenly Realm?” Chen Xiao frowned as he looked at the indications on the map. An extremely excited mental presence emanated from the map, pointing deep into this dark world. Chen Xiao even suspected that this dark world deep within the world of superpowers might be the passage to that sealed Heavenly Realm. “Meet force with force, and water with earth.” Chen Xiao took a deep breath and slowly released his mental energy, scanning the surroundings carefully as he moved forward cautiously. Everything around him was silent, with no signs of movement.

But, relying on his instincts, Chen Xiao had already sensed that within this boundless silence lay endless dangers. Even with his current level of cultivation, he couldn’t be certain he could protect himself completely in this darkness.
Gurgle…
Suddenly, a sound resembling hunger arose in Chen Xiao’s ears. His mind snapped to attention, and he stopped in his tracks.
“Damn…”
Chen Xiao’s mental senses detected the presence before him—a being resembling a mountain of flesh. He couldn’t gauge how large this body was; his mental senses could only reach a hundred meters, yet within that range, everything was nothing but this creature’s flesh.
The sound earlier had come from within that mountain of flesh.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive and terrifying devouring force erupted from the mountain-like entity, sweeping up Chen Xiao’s body.
“This guy wants to eat me.”
Chen Xiao’s expression darkened as the Life and Death Sword appeared in his hand.
“Slash!”
With a cold cry, Chen Xiao swung the Life and Death Sword seven times in the air. Each time, a Life and Death diagram was sent flying, tearing through the endless darkness and slashing toward the mountain of flesh.
Thanks to the light emitted by the diagrams, Chen Xiao could now see this creature clearly. It was covered in a grayish hue, its skin and flesh resembling mud—extremely disgusting.
Yet, this creature was even larger than the Mingyue Mountains, the largest range in the Mingyue World. Even with the light, Chen Xiao couldn’t see its entire body.
The terrifying devouring force had come from its extremely disgusting mouth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seven Life and Death diagrams struck the creature’s body. Instantly, flesh flew everywhere, and blackish-gray blood sprayed dozens of miles in all directions.
“Argh!”
A shrill scream erupted from the creature’s mouth. It turned around, soared into the air, and then pressed down on Chen Xiao’s body.
“Damn it, this thing is too big.”
The Yin-Yang energy within Chen Xiao surged rapidly, flowing into the Life and Death Sword. The Life and Death diagrams had transformed into the sword’s energy, with each strike representing a Life and Death attack.
“Kill!”
Chen Xiao roared. The Yin-Yang diagrams within him circulated swiftly, forming a gigantic dual-kill diagram with a diameter of a thousand meters, which was then swung forth.
Like a sharp sword beam, this diagram pierced through space and slashed at the creature’s body.
In the next moment, the creature’s body was split into two halves by the massive diagram. Chen Xiao didn’t bother fighting it further. With a slight movement of Tianlong You, he vanished from his original location and reappeared thousands of miles away.
After Chen Xiao left, the two severed halves of the mountain-like body continued to wriggle, eventually splitting into two separate entities. They then began to howl loudly toward the sky, searching for Chen Xiao’s trace.

“What a close call. That thing may not have much cultivation, but its sheer strength is enough to kill a True Spirit God with two True Spirits. What kind of monsters are there here?”
Chen Xiao stayed in a corner, carefully sending out his mental senses. Seeing no danger, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
“In this dark world, even an ordinary True Spirit God would find it impossible to move forward.”
Chen Xiao shook his head, but the next moment, his expression froze.
At some point, his body had been surrounded by countless tiny creatures. So small that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye, yet hundreds of millions of them together were extremely terrifying.
Like pervasive smoke, they seeped into every gap in Chen Xiao’s body, trying to penetrate inward.
“Damn it, what are these things?!”
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth. Immediately, the power of the Two Principles within him surged, blasting all those tiny creatures out.
Strangely, despite the terrifying power of the Two Principles, none of them died—they were merely blown away before gathering again and swarming toward his body.
“These little things are far more terrifying than those insect-devouring creatures.”
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, flashed away, and disappeared once more. Tianlong You emitted its aura of freedom, hiding his body.
This time, Chen Xiao didn’t dare run around recklessly. If he accidentally ended up near some terrifying creature, he would be in trouble.
Now, Tianlong You was fully active, carrying Chen Xiao forward slowly through the darkness, while his mental senses scanned everything within a hundred meters.
Having gotten rid of those tiny creatures, Chen Xiao still wasn’t at ease and remained on edge.
Ahead of him, an extremely terrifying aura radiated. Even Chen Xiao felt weak under its influence.
“Let’s take a detour.”
Feeling that terrifying aura, Chen Xiao turned and headed in another direction. Such a creature was at least at the level of a Supreme God—Chen Xiao didn’t dare provoke it.
It might have been fine in the outside world, but in this dark world filled with endless dangers, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Shui Miao, do you know what place this is?”
Chen Xiao contacted the Supreme God’s space and asked Shui Miao. It seemed they were no longer in the World of Superpowers but in another dimension. Even his Superpower Crystal Card’s connection to the Thousand Souls Realm had been severed.
Shui Miao’s dormant memories were gradually awakening, so Chen Xiao was glad to ask her—maybe she would know what kind of place this was.
“This place?” Shui Miao hesitated for a moment. She sent out her mental senses to scan the surroundings before hesitantly saying, “This is… the Divine Realm!”
“The Divine Realm?”
Chen Xiao was stunned, saying in disbelief, “The lost Divine Realm outside the Land of Origins?”
“That’s right. This is the Divine Realm,” Shui Miao repeated.

“The Divine Realm? How did it end up here? Could it be that those so-called Celestial Beings brought it here?” Chen Xiao asked directly.

“No,” Shui Miao shook her head and said, “Do you still remember those murals in the Secret Treasures of the Heavenly Dragon?”

“Those murals?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Suddenly, he seemed to think of a possibility. “Are you referring to the creatures inside that space-time seal?”

“Space-time seal?” Shui Miao frowned slightly. “That was set up by the Celestial Beings to seal those strange creatures. The insect-devouring creatures in your hands are a weak race among them.”

“The Divine Realm has indeed been attacked by them before, but they don’t yet have the power to bring the Divine Realm here.” Shui Miao hesitated slightly. “The disappearance of the Divine Realm has always been a mystery. Throughout history, countless gods and supreme deities have searched for it. Even Kanrelas, in his search for the Divine Realm, encountered an accident and was forced to abandon his divinity. Who would have thought it would be you who finds it?”

“Then it seems that some of the powerful beings among the Guardians also know everything about this place.”

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He now understood that both that flesh mountain and those tiny creatures earlier must have been part of those strange creatures’ races.

Understanding the situation here, Chen Xiao became even more cautious. He carefully held the celestial map in his hand as the Heavenly Dragon kept flashing in the void, heading in the direction indicated by the map.

“Xueye Canhua said that Mingye can be found deep in the world of supernatural abilities. Could Mingye also be in this Divine Realm? Or could Mingye, and even those so-called Four Nights Families in the world of supernatural abilities, all be descendants of those creatures?”

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but think of Xueye Canhua and those four powerful families in China’s world of supernatural abilities.

“However, there is also a powerful Celestial Being guarding that space-time seal. There must be great hatred between them. And there are also traces of Celestial Beings on Earth. If the Four Nights Families were descendants of those creatures, they would have been wiped out long ago.”

As he thought, Chen Xiao continued to move cautiously.

Now, he couldn’t care less about anything else. This dark and fallen Divine Realm was full of endless dangers. Aside from the power of the Two Principles, he had already used several other major divine forces, even the Primordial Spirit Flame.

Inside Chen Xiao’s dantian, the Water-Fire Primordial Map rotated slowly. One after another, primordial pathways merged into his divine consciousness. In an instant, his divine consciousness was amplified a hundred times by those primordial pathways within the Primordial Spirit Flame.

In an instant, Chen Xiao’s divine consciousness covered an area of ten thousand miles.

Originally, his divine consciousness could easily cover a vast galaxy like the Milky Way. But in the Divine Realm, with the help of those primordial pathways, it only extended a mere ten thousand meters, showing just how strong the constraints of this realm were.

The Divine Realm was the world of gods, and only those who became true gods could enter—it wasn’t even allowed for demi-gods.

In the former divine realm, the True God was merely like an ordinary native, one of the lowest existence levels, with no status at all. The True Spirit God could only dare to claim the title of God King after the destruction of the divine realm and in the absence of the Supreme God. When the divine realm still existed, the Supreme God was the ruler, and the True Spirit God was nothing but a pawn of the Supreme God. However, the destruction of the divine realm seemed not to be a bad thing for the gods in the universe; on the contrary, it was a good thing. With the destruction of the divine realm, the gods were completely free from constraints, able to roam the universe and gain followers, truly becoming gods. The divine realm seemed like a prison for them. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao even began to believe that it wasn’t those few powerful beings in the divine realm who had brought him here. Just then, a faint light pierced through the darkness and came into Chen Xiao’s sight. “I finally see light,” Chen Xiao moved slightly, but he did not reveal his form instead approaching cautiously. As he got closer to the light source, the celestial map in his hands grew more excited, trembling slightly. Moreover, at this moment, the jade talisman given to Chen Xiao by Xueye Canhua also reacted.
