Chapter 15: Chang Xin’s Death

“Chang Xin, you seem quite calm seeing me.”
Qu Yi noticed that Chang Xin showed no trace of fear upon seeing him; instead, he stopped and looked at Qu Yi calmly, prompting Qu Yi to smile and speak.
Chang Xin studied Qu Yi, his eyes moving around. His expression was indeed calm, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions—he couldn’t fathom Qu Yi’s strength at all.
“Qu Yi, you truly have great ambition. Now you even want to get involved in the affairs of the Inner Sea. Unfortunately, with thousands of pirate clans in the Inner Sea, it’s not something you can simply swallow up on your own,” Chang Xin said calmly.
As he spoke, his eyes also kept track of Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, Ling Yu Bo, and the others who were approaching Qu Yi.
Qu Yi merely smiled faintly before saying, “Chang Xin, your talent is truly remarkable. In such a short time since arriving in the Divine Realm, you’ve already reached the level of a Divine General. My plans are beyond your ability to guess. Today, we will settle this matter between us. So, stop thinking about escaping and just fight me properly.”
After saying that, Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yu Bo all took out their divine weapons, ready to fight.
Upon hearing this, Chang Xin burst into wild laughter.
“Qu Yi, your speed is fast—I’ve seen it in the Immortal Realm. But even now, your speed isn’t enough to catch me. Once I leave, the power of the Thousand Islands Alliance will crush you as well. You won’t fare well then,” Chang Xin shouted happily.
It seems Chang Xin also has secrets, which is why he’s so confident.
Qu Yi didn’t give an immediate order to attack. Hearing Chang Xin’s words, he smiled and said, “Chang Xin, I can guess part of your plan. You want to use the power of the Thousand Islands Alliance to kill me. If they can’t kill me, you’ll expose my secrets and bring in the power of the Divine Realm to kill me. Your plan is perfect, but since you’re already here in front of me, you’re doomed to fail—it’s impossible for you to escape my grasp.”
Chang Xin shook his head and said calmly, “Qu Yi, it’s not just you who has extraordinary luck. I do too. You want to catch me? Then go ahead and try. Let’s see what you can do.”
Hearing Chang Xin’s words, Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yu Bo also believed that Chang Xin had secrets, and they grew worried. They all turned their attention to Qu Yi.

Qu Yi sighed and said with a smile, “Chang Xin, a person’s fate is already determined. Since I defeated you once, it’s destined that you’ll die at my hands. No matter what miracles you might have, you can’t escape today.”
At that moment, Chang Xin’s right hand suddenly moved forward, and a nearly transparent, finger-long dagger shot out from his hand.
The dagger seemed unaffected by space, instantly appearing in front of Qu Yi and piercing into his body.
“Bad! That’s a Innate Spiritual Treasure,” the voice of the Artifact God suddenly rang out.
Qu Yi hadn’t expected such a thing and didn’t have time to react. Instead, a Divine Formula card appeared on his body, as if trying to block it with it.
The “Five Qi, Three Flowers” Divine Formula card had accompanied Qu Yi from the cultivation realm to the divine realm, always protecting his physical body from being breached by magical artifacts. But the Divine Formula card was only a divine artifact at the Divine General level.
Above that were divine artifacts at the Divine King level, and even higher were the Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The Innate Spiritual Treasure emitted by Chang Xin pierced through the Divine Formula card and entered Qu Yi’s chest, aiming to reach his Dantian space and completely destroy his internal world.
Qu Yi hadn’t expected Chang Xin to possess such a miracle—obtaining an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and at that, a mid-tier one.
However, as soon as the dagger entered Qu Yi’s Dantian space, it encountered an opponent: the Dimensional Sphere.
When the dagger touched the Dimensional Sphere, it tried to cut through it, but both stopped moving.
Indeed, the original Dimensional Sphere was only a low-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. But after Qu Yi obtained another one from the Galaxy Battlefield, the two merged and changed, becoming as powerful as a mid-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Thus, Qu Yi used the Dimensional Sphere to block the dagger’s attack.
“Haha, Qu Yi, you didn’t expect this, right? I found a rare treasure on the seabed of the Inner Sea—one that no divine artifact can withstand. Today, you’ll die!” Chang Xin shouted frantically.
At that moment, Chang Xin thought Qu Yi’s internal world had already been destroyed by his dagger. Although Qu Yi wouldn’t die as long as his soul space remained intact, destroying his internal world would mean forgetting his strength, allowing him to gradually destroy Qu Yi’s soul space and kill him.
“Bastard, I’ll kill you!”
“Chieftain, you won’t die.”

Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yu Bo saw Qu Yi’s pained expression and grew anxious, immediately wanting to charge at Chang Xin.
“Hehe, it’s no problem. Don’t interfere; let me handle it,” Qu Yi said, stopping their attack.
Chang Xin was shocked, staring at Qu Yi in disbelief, realizing that Qu Yi’s strength hadn’t been weakened by him at all.
“That’s impossible! My Xu Tian Dao—no one can defend against it, unless they’re a Divine King!” Chang Xin shouted excitedly, his expression turning panicked.
This mid-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, Xu Tian Dao, was something Chang Xin had stumbled upon in a cave he found in the underwater world of the Inner Sea. He had used its sharpness to eliminate those who threatened him, thus establishing his foothold in the Inner Sea.
“Chang Xin, I told you—no matter how great your luck, you can’t escape. Now, use your divine consciousness to try and retrieve your sword,” Qu Yi said with a smile, winking.
Hearing this, Chang Xin’s body trembled violently; he realized what had happened. He tried to communicate with Xu Tian Dao repeatedly but found he could no longer reach it—seemingly, Qu Yi had taken it away.
“That’s impossible! Only a Divine King can take my Xu Tian Dao!” Chang Xin shouted anxiously, his face turning red.
Inside Qu Yi’s world, the Cun Jie Ball continued to hold Xu Tian Dao, while the Instrument God’s divine consciousness also came to assist. A beam of golden light emerged from the Cun Jie Ball and struck Xu Tian Dao, erasing Chang Xin’s soul imprint.
“Wah…”
Chang Xin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring at Qu Yi in hatred—he now knew his Xu Tian Dao had been taken by him.
“Well, Chang Xin? I told you—no matter how great your luck, you can’t escape,” Qu Yi said, still standing in the air, smiling at him.
With the Instrument God by his side—reaching the power level of a Divine King—this was Qu Yi’s greatest advantage.
Chang Xin wiped the blood from his lips, his expression calming as he looked at Qu Yi calmly before suddenly laughing again. “Qu Yi, I must admit, the secrets you hide are truly terrifying. But I still want to tell you—today, I can still escape. You won’t be able to catch me.”
Suddenly, Chang Xin pulled out a compass-like divine artifact from his hand—black base with a rotating pointer, which was spinning at that moment.

The voice of the Divine Tool immediately rang in Qu Yi’s mind: “Qu Yi, Chang Xin has actually set up the Heaven-Uniting Realm-Transiting Array. He can also teleport away instantly. Release the Tiny Realm Ball.”
Indeed, when Chang Xin was in the lower realm, he spent a long time trying to set up the Heaven-Uniting Realm-Transiting Array because he couldn’t gather all five kinds of divine stones. But after arriving in the Divine Realm, it was easy for him to find the five key divine stones: the Star-Stabilizing Stone, the Object-Holding Stone, the Sky-Transmitting Stone, the Realm-Penetrating Stone, and the Soul-Trapping Stone.
Thus, Chang Xin immediately set up the Heaven-Uniting Realm-Transiting Array on several islands in the inner sea to ensure he could escape at any time from the pursuit of any powerful foe. Now, he finally got to use it.
Just as Chang Xin activated the compass to teleport away, Qu Yi moved.
“Chang Xin, I said you can’t escape—so don’t even try,” Qu Yi shouted loudly.
Qu Yi’s body had already reached in front of Chang Xin. At the same time, the Tiny Realm Ball turned into a fist-sized green sphere, leaving Qu Yi’s body and floating above Chang Xin’s head. A funnel-shaped green light enveloped Chang Xin’s entire body.
“No, what is this? How can it seal off my space?” Chang Xin found that the compass in his hand had stopped spinning, and his body was restricted. He cried out in horror.
The Tiny Realm Ball, now a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, could use the spatial rules it emitted to seal off an entire area.
Qu Yi smiled at Chang Xin, sighed, and felt some sympathy for this opponent who was naturally destined to oppose him. Yet, as fate would have it, Qu Yi would not let Chang Xin go.
The Way is merciless!
“Chang Xin, there’s no need for you to resist. Die,” Qu Yi declared calmly.
Suddenly, Qu Yi took out the Spring Rain Sword he had forged and plunged it into Chang Xin’s body. Chaotic energy surged in, destroying Chang Xin’s body outright. Under the pressure of the Tiny Realm Ball, Chang Xin’s soul space also turned to ashes.
Chang Xin never expected that his plans against Qu Yi hadn’t even been fully carried out when he was already killed by Qu Yi.
Now, Qu Yi no longer had to worry about his secrets being exposed. With Chang Xin dead, the last enemy in the lower realm who knew his secrets was gone, eliminating his concerns.
“Congratulations,” Qing Wu Gui flew over and said with a smile.
“Camp King, you’re truly amazing,” Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yu Bo also rushed over immediately, shouting in joy.

Qu Yi retrieved the inch-bound ball, as well as Chang Xin’s life force and space ring, before smiling at the six of them.
“Alright, you may continue with your mission. The Wan Dao Alliance will surely send more people here soon—prepare well for battle,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The six nodded.
