Chapter 212: Hunting

“Enter again?”
Chen Xiao thought for a moment before using the connection between the Main God’s Space and the Thousand Souls Domain to return to the World of Superpowers.
As soon as he arrived in the Thousand Souls Domain, Chen Xiao’s expression changed. He quickly noticed that there were many figures on the island at the heart of the Thousand Souls Lake—several superpowered individuals had already arrived there. Ming Lan and Ming Qing were circling above the island, letting out low roars.
“So they took this opportunity, when all the major forces were focused on the Heavenly Dragon’s Secret Treasures, to come and seize the Thousand Souls Domain.” A cold smirk appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
……
“I never expected these two beasts to awaken their bloodline and evolve into Source Realm Heavenly Dragons, rising above the category of ferocious beasts.” On Thousand Souls Island, a middle-aged man with a delicate appearance frowned as he watched Ming Lan and Ming Qing in the sky.
“Uncle Wen, they’re just two Source Realm Heavenly Dragons. You’re a domain powerhouse—if you intervened, wouldn’t those two beasts surrender immediately?” A young man with an arrogant attitude and a domineering demeanor spoke beside the middle-aged man, showing little respect for Uncle Wen.
“Besides, it seems the Thousand Souls Domain is about to complete its evolution and become a new Sunshine Zone. If we gain control of it, our Nan Gong family will also have a foothold in the World of Superpowers.”
“Qing Lan, how much do you know about the World of Superpowers?” Nan Gong Wen shook his head. “We can’t touch the Thousand Souls Domain.”
“Why?”
Nan Gong Qing Lan’s expression froze as he looked at Nan Gong Wen in disbelief.
“Uncle Wen, my grandfather said we must obtain the Thousand Souls Domain this time…”
Nan Gong Wen waved his hand. “If we get the Thousand Souls Domain, the entire Nan Gong family will be at risk. Let’s retreat.”
With a wave of his hand, the hidden figures around him quickly withdrew in an instant. These were all true experts, with at least rank six superpowers—each of them would be a pillar in any other place.
“Uncle Wen…” Nan Gong Qing Lan wanted to say more, but Nan Gong Wen interrupted him.
“This is the outskirts of the World of Superpowers. There’s not enough energy here to support two rank nine Ye Dragons evolving into Source Realm Heavenly Dragons. There’s only one explanation: some unimaginably powerful force already seized the Thousand Souls Domain before us and evolved those two Ye Dragons. Just by staying here, do we think we can take it back?”
A glint appeared in Nan Gong Wen’s eyes.
“Those two Heavenly Dragons are only at the initial stage of the Source Realm, clearly having just gone through a tribulation. Yet they show no signs of injury. What does that mean? Some peerless expert used their own power to heal their wounds and prevent the surrounding ferocious beasts from attacking. As for the damage from the thunder tribulation, my Immortality Law can’t cure it.”
Nan Gong Wen shook his head gently. “Let’s go. Even if it’s not as I imagined, the Thousand Souls Domain is still beyond our Nan Gong family’s reach.”

With that, he took out a supernatural card from his bosom and activated its teleportation array. A faint purple light flashed, and he and Nan Gong Qinglan disappeared simultaneously. Although the members of the Nan Gong family had left, there were still many other forces in the vicinity. Not only from Huaxia Country but also from abroad, many forces were secretly exerting their influence. However, upon seeing Ming Qing and Ming Lan in the sky, they hesitated, but unlike Nan Gong Wen, they did not act immediately and leave. Countless mental forces were secretly scanning and observing the situation, yet none dared to take rash action. “There are many cultivators at the realm level here. Although there are no ones at the fourth or fifth realm, those at the third realm who have grasped the Law of Immortality are beyond what Ming Lan and Ming Qing can handle.” “Hmph, but since you’re here, none of you should leave.” Chen Xiao hid in the shadows, a cold glint in his eyes. At this moment, he had no intention of summoning the disciples from the Main God Space. He realized he had become too dependent on the Main God Space and its disciples, without ever gaining any real strength for himself. That was putting the cart before the horse. No matter how powerful the disciples were, they were still just disciples—not him. The disciples, divine servants, and divine messengers established by the former Main God, Kraneras, were meant to help him govern the various worlds in the Main God Space, not to act as mere enforcers. Chen Xiao’s body slowly disappeared, seemingly dissolving at his original location. A green blade of grass where he had been stood frozen into ice shards. At this moment, Chen Xiao’s concealment ability was extremely strong; even a true god or real deity could not detect his presence, let alone these low-level realm cultivators. Chen Xiao’s body silently appeared behind a cultivator at the third realm who had grasped the Law of Immortality, yet the latter showed no reaction. Chen Xiao stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it against the back of the man’s heart. Whoosh! Suddenly, an ice-blue flame erupted from his body. This cultivator, at the third realm and having mastered the Law of Immortality, was almost indestructible among his peers. His body was instantly reduced to ice fragments scattered on the ground. The Law of Immortality, the Law of Soul, and the Law of Life within him were all absorbed by Chen Xiao. Suddenly, these three laws began to intertwine and slowly change. In an instant, the once-strong forces of these laws turned into an imperceptible trace under the burning of the ice-blue flame, merging into it. The ice-blue flame in Chen Xiao’s dantian grew slightly, but even his mental force could not detect this increase. Not even Chen Xiao noticed this subtle change. “A sneak attack that instantly kills a cultivator at the third realm…” Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with his achievement. “But the cost is too high. That single strike almost exhausted half of my Main God power. If it weren’t for the Main God essence constantly supplying me with power, I don’t know how long it would take to recover.”

Chen Xiao did a quick calculation in his mind. By unleashing this ice-blue flame at full strength and burning through all the power of the Primordial God within him, it should be enough to threaten cultivators at the fourth level of Domain Mastery who had grasped the laws of space. But no matter what, he wouldn’t be able to kill them. At full strength, the power of the Primordial God would be completely burned out, and replenishment wouldn’t be possible that quickly. For a moment, Chen Xiao would be left powerless, with no ability to fight back. “At most, I can fight against cultivators at the third level of Domain Mastery.” After recovering slightly, Chen Xiao’s body moved again, instantly killing all the supernatural beings and cultivators in that area. The various powers within them turned into traceable streaks that merged into the ice-blue flame. This faction was wiped out in the blink of an eye, immediately drawing the attention of other factions in the vicinity, and everyone’s expression changed. “Let’s go!” Seeing this, many factions decided to retreat immediately. But a cold smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips. “Want to leave? Space, seal!” With a thought, Chen Xiao activated the power of the spatial crystals here. Under this influence, the supernatural ability cards of all the supernatural beings and cultivators in that area became useless. A faint purple glow also appeared around, seemingly sealing off that space. Chen Xiao’s figure slowly appeared—not in his original form, but as that wealthy young master, Shang Weiting. “Everyone, since you’re here, there’s no need to leave,” Chen Xiao said gently with a smile. “It’s actually you!” Immediately, someone recognized him. ‘Shang Weiting’ had once posted a mission in the Hunters’ Guild for three billion star coins and had long become a legend in the world of supernatural powers—a young master of an unknown powerful faction. “Just because of you, do you think you can keep us?” Once the space was sealed, all the hidden members of these factions revealed themselves—over a hundred people in total. But none of these hundreds had grasped the laws of space, so they couldn’t break through the blockade of the spatial crystals. “Isn’t it me?” Chen Xiao laughed. “As for whether I can keep you or not, just wait and see.” Chen Xiao stretched out his hand, and his body vanished into the air. In the next moment, the person who had just spoken turned into a pile of ice shards and fell to the ground. Chen Xiao’s figure slowly appeared where he had been. This was also a cultivator at the third level of Domain Mastery who had grasped the law of immortality—now completely dead. “What do you think? Do I have the ability to keep you all?” Chen Xiao rubbed his left hand against his right palm. “Keep us? Take over the Thousand Souls Domain all by yourself? Do you want to become the public enemy of the world of supernatural powers?” a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes sneered. “The public enemy of the world of supernatural powers? You say you appeared in my territory without my permission—shouldn’t I kill you?” Chen Xiao sneered. He slightly raised his hand, and a small ice-blue flame appeared at his fingertips. “Your territory?” These cultivators were shocked. They also realized what was happening.

“He’s very strong; we can’t take him on alone. Everyone, attack together!” Suddenly, someone spoke up. Hearing this, the others also realized what needed to be done and prepared to strike at the same time. But Chen Xiao was faster—his figure vanished in an instant, leaving no trace. “Hmph, die!” The next moment, Chen Xiao was already behind the cultivator who had urged everyone to unite, delivering a palm strike to his back. “I’ve been waiting for you!” It seemed the cultivator had anticipated this; he quickly turned around and countered with his own palm strike at Chen Xiao.
