Chapter 149: Cold Stone

Fuyun reached out with one hand and grabbed at the two foreign supernatural beings who were about to leave.
The remaining two foreign powerhouses had not grasped the laws to become domain masters; they were merely two Source Realm experts who had understood the Source.
When the two foreign supernatural beings saw their space sealed off, a fierce glint appeared in their eyes. Instantly, two milky-white lights burst from their bodies.
“Trying to self-destruct? That’s not that easy.”
Fuyun sneered. His domain expanded instantly, enveloping their bodies. The primal forces that were about to erupt in them were instantly extinguished, turning into nothingness.
“If that little guy at the second level of the domain had been determined to self-destruct, there might have been a chance. But you two aren’t good enough.”
With a cold laugh, Fuyun waved his hand and captured the two. Killing one domain master was enough; these two Source Realm supernatural beings still held considerable value.
At this moment, Fuyun stood in mid-air, his entire body surrounded by golden light, making it impossible for anyone to see his true face.
The light emanating from him was the power of faith bestowed by Chen Xiao, broken down by the domain and transformed into light that illuminated the land.
All the supernatural beings enveloped by this light felt refreshed, and their cultivation levels seemed to improve slightly.
“Divine grace!”
Now, even the surrounding spectators were shocked. Their bodies almost involuntarily fell to the ground, their eyes filled with fervent light as they bowed toward the temple.
In an instant, another surge of immense power of faith flowed into Chen Xiao’s mind. If not for his iron-willed state of mind, he might have immediately used this power to raise his strength to the seventh level.
“Calm down, calm down. My strength isn’t enough yet, and my soul’s compatibility with the main divine entity is unstable. If I rashly use the power of faith to improve my cultivation, my foundation will be weak, making it difficult to progress later. The most important thing now is to stabilize my base.”
Chen Xiao struggled to control himself, storing this power of faith, while integrating some of it into his main divine entity to help his soul align with it.
The power of faith did not enhance strength—it was not through it that anyone’s power increased. Everyone’s strength came from gradual self-improvement. Instead, the main role of the power of faith was to affect the soul and divine entity, improving their understanding of the laws.
……
“What a magnificent city, what a magnificent temple! It’s countless times more grand than our Atlantean Sea Temple. If our Atlantean Empire invades the land, we must first conquer this city.”
In a corner of the Flame Soul Domain, an old man dressed in a blue robe with an extremely ordinary appearance stood quietly, gazing at the glorious temple before him.
Next to him stood a woman with black long hair, dressed in a water-blue gown. Her graceful figure and stunning beauty created a striking contrast against the old man.
“However, it’s not easy. Inside this temple, there’s a peerless powerhouse at the fourth level of the domain who has grasped the law of space. It’s not easy at all.”
The old man shook his head slightly.

“Lord Lengshi, the main reason we came to the land this time is to find that young man under the protection of the Sea God,” reminded the alluring woman, who was actually Haibei with her appearance changed.
“Mm,” Lengshi nodded.
“Haibei, our clan is extremely unfamiliar with matters on land. From now on, we rely on you.”
“Don’t worry, Lord Lengshi. For the great king, what’s a little sacrifice from me?”
Haibei gently bit her gorgeous lips, seemingly making up her mind.
“Hey! Big bro, look, a beauty!” Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out.
“Indeed. There are still such beauties in this world?” Another voice followed.
Two young men, no older than twenty, with smooth faces, were instantly captivated by Haibei the moment they saw her.
Haibei narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint appearing in them. Though she had decided to sacrifice herself for the empire, she wasn’t someone who could be easily belittled by just two random street kids.
Lengshi shook his head slightly at Haibei, then smiled at the two young men and said, “My granddaughter and I have fallen into trouble and now have no one to rely on. We were hoping to ask you two about a relative of ours.”
Lengshi was an old fox who had lived for countless years. The complexity of the Atlantis Empire under the sea was no less than that of the human world.
Seeing the two men eyeing Haibei greedily, he paid them no mind and quickly changed the subject. With the old man and his granddaughter in trouble and helpless, wasn’t this exactly an opportunity for them?
The two young men were overjoyed at this. Looking at their simple attire, they indeed seemed unpretentious.
“I wonder who this old man’s relative is and where they are now?” The older of the two brothers wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked cheerfully, though his eyes kept flicking toward Haibei, as if wanting to devour her whole.
Lengshi observed their behavior calmly. He took out a portrait and handed it to them.
“Huh? Isn’t this person Chen Xiao?”
The younger brother immediately exclaimed upon seeing the person in the portrait.
Chen Xiao had clashed with Li Chengfei from the Li family twice. Although the Li family was now extinct, their former influence was significant, and those who dared to challenge them were easily remembered.
These two brothers, who spent their days in the world of supernatural powers, had naturally heard of Chen Xiao and knew something about him.
Upon hearing that the brothers knew Chen Xiao’s name, Lengshi’s eyes suddenly lit up. Instantly, an aura of a powerful being emanated from him.
The two brothers, who had reached the third level of strength, felt suffocated and their faces turned pale.
“You!” The brothers stared at Lengshi in disbelief, unable to say anything.
“Tell me where Chen Xiao is, and I’ll spare your lives.”

At this moment, Leng Shi had already enclosed the two brothers in his domain. No one around could detect anything unusual, except for Fu Yun in the temple, who was drooling at the sight of the two foreign supernatural beings he had just captured.
“No, we don’t know…” The two brothers showed terrified expressions as they barely managed to utter a few words.
“Don’t know?”
Leng Shi frowned and snapped coldly, “Laws, soul domain.”
In an instant, a faint blue light flashed within Leng Shi’s domain. The next moment, the two brothers’ eyes went wide open, and drool streamed from their mouths—they had clearly become fools.
“Chen Xiao…” The old man used his own domain to instantly devour their soul memories. From the memories of the two brothers, he also learned some information about Chen Xiao.
