Chapter 214: The Primordial Spirit God
Chen Xiao sent Yuanmie to Fu Yun. With the existence of these two Void Gods, the Chen family could be utterly destroyed.
Now, the Glory Temple, possessing Fu Yun and Yuanmie—two great Void Gods—could truly be considered a top-tier force in the world of supernatural abilities. Since the opening of the Tianlong Secret Treasury, Chen Xiao realized that the forces in this world were no weaker than those in the legendary Source Continent.
Yet such strength, held by a few individuals, had not affected Earth or the peripheries of this world of supernatural abilities.
But now, with two Void Gods stationed in his Glory Temple, Chen Xiao already held dominion over a vast area.
Yuanmie and Fu Yun went to the Chen family, while Chen Xiao headed alone toward the Tianlong Secret Treasury once again.
At this moment, both Earth’s forces and those from the Source Continent were gathering here in increasing numbers, and the waters outside the Tianlong Secret Treasury had turned blood-red.
The protective beasts outside the treasury were also growing stronger, all now belonging to the Source Realm. On Earth, even the most advanced high-tech products could no longer withstand the attacks of these beasts from the Source Realm.
Many cultivators in their own domains appeared directly within the rifts and took action themselves. Protected by their domains, they were not struck by the golden light from the beast eyes below.
Chen Xiao moved like a devil in the night—invisible and intangible—sailing through the sea. The beasts of the Source Realm couldn’t detect his presence at all.
“Those who can enter the Tianlong Secret Treasury and obtain treasures are all major forces and powerful families… Hmm…”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao stopped in his tracks.
“What if I found a way to send all these smaller forces in as well?”
A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
Inside the Tianlong Secret Treasury, there were countless treasures—not only the riches of the deities deep within but also Void Divine Weapons and various large-scale mineral deposits in the outer areas. If these fell into the hands of some small forces on Earth, they would likely thrive rapidly.
That would likely lead to chaos in the world of supernatural abilities on Earth.
“It’s not fun for one to dominate everything; only through competition can there be progress.”
Chen Xiao sneered inwardly. His body suddenly turned, and streams of blue water appeared in his hands. Wherever he passed, the beasts of the Source Realm had their life forces drained and sent to the Xuanwu Egg in the Main God’s Space.
The cultivators and ancient martial artists of those smaller forces, seeing these beasts die mysteriously, didn’t have time to think further. They immediately rushed into the depths of the rift using various high-tech devices.
When the last beast—a creature at the first level of the domain realm, resembling a giant crab—was killed in a sneak attack by Chen Xiao, the area became completely silent.
Even the blood floating in the sea was absorbed completely by the blue water.
At this moment, as the power within Chen Xiao changed, the strength of the nine types of water he controlled had increased countless times over.
“What kind of strength do I possess now? A ninth-level mental and physical power, yet capable of killing a cultivator at the third level of the domain realm who has mastered the Law of Immortality…”
Chen Xiao looked at his own hands, satisfied with his achievements.
His body moved, instantly heading toward the bottom of the crack. Upon reaching the entrance to the Heavenly Dragon’s Secret Treasures, Chen Xiao’s mind acted swiftly—he stopped the grand array there, allowing those with supernatural abilities and cultivators to enter. The moment the array stopped, Chen Xiao’s heart trembled slightly. Where the array used to be lay hundreds of corpses, all dead with eyes wide open in agony. Chen Xiao frowned and sighed softly. “This is how the world works—survival of the fittest. If you were strong enough, you wouldn’t have been killed by this array.” His thoughts paused for a moment. Raising his hand, he emitted an ice-blue flame that turned those corpses into ice shards. Only then did Chen Xiao step inside. The gates of the Heavenly Dragon Palace were already wide open, with countless supernatural beings and cultivators inside. “Hm?” When Chen Xiao returned, he was stunned. He realized that the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace, or rather, the Heavenly Dragon’s Secret Treasures, was now under his control. If he wished, he could instantly break through space and enter any deity’s treasure vault. His mental power even detected the Sky Wolf God, who was devouring a virtual god. “Hm? Xuan Yuan Po and Lou Yu have gathered together?” Standing outside the gates, Chen Xiao saw that all beings in these secret treasures, including deities, were at his whim. Suddenly, Chen Xiao vanished, reappearing in an unopened treasure vault belonging to a giant bird god wreathed in flames. Upon arriving, he encountered no fierce spirits formed from the god’s essence. Chen Xiao quickly plundered the vault, taking the dead body, divine essence, and divine artifacts of the giant bird god. “It seems different from the Main God’s space. I can sense everything here, but I can’t act arbitrarily or wield great power.” After thinking, he took out a virtual divine artifact. With a flash of ice-blue flame, this extremely sturdy artifact vanished into the flames in an instant. Whoosh… In the next moment, the virtual divine artifact was burned to ashes, turning into ice shards. The flame in Chen Xiao’s dantian pulsed slightly, seemingly growing stronger—something he could only sense through his mental power. Yet, the flame remained the size of a little finger. “Virtual divine artifacts can’t merge with the body like real divine artifacts?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He thought he could enhance his strength by devouring virtual divine artifacts, just like Yuan Mie had done. But it seemed that while he had indeed consumed them, he had only absorbed their virtual god laws, leaving the artifacts themselves completely destroyed. “It seems that to merge with the body, it must be a first-tier divine artifact.” Chen Xiao felt somewhat disappointed. Right now, he still couldn’t devour divine artifacts, not even their cores. His ice-blue flame couldn’t even destroy them. “Never mind. I’m being too ambitious. For now, I should collect more deity corpses and find a way to hatch Xuan Wu first.”
Chen Xiao flashed and immediately arrived at the next treasure vault, containing another deity that had not been revived and ranked low. Over several attempts, Chen Xiao visited a total of eight deity treasure vaults, obtaining eight divine artifacts, eight divine essences, and eight corpses of deities.
“Shui Miao, how is it? Is there enough essence to revive Xuanwu?” Chen Xiao contacted Shui Miao directly. Her expression remained unchanged, as usual—cold and emotionless. Before her, within a strange formation, the black Xuanwu egg lay quietly.
“There’s enough life essence now. All that remains is to wait for Xuanwu to take shape and hatch,” Shui Miao said calmly.
“Mm,” Chen Xiao nodded, directing her mental energy back to the outside world.
“Xuanyuan Po and Lou Yu actually have such hidden cards? Interesting.” Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s expression changed. Xuanyuan Po and Lou Yu, whom he had been watching, had encountered a revived deity, yet both of them had unleashed their ultimate moves to hold back that deity.
“That deity is even stronger than Shang Xie, who just recovered—only at the power level of an early-stage true deity.” Chen Xiao now understood the hierarchy among deities. Above the Virtual Gods were the True Gods—genuine deities whose divine essences were solidified and could receive the faith of all living beings. Above the True Gods were the Nine Layers of Primordial Spirit Gods. At his peak, Shang Xie was a Primordial Spirit God of the second layer. The gap between each level of Primordial Spirit Gods was enormous; the difference between a first-layer and a second-layer Primordial Spirit God was akin to the difference between an abler person and a Virtual God.
Each layer of Primordial Spirit represented a deity. Now, Xuanyuan Po and Lou Yu, working together, had used an extremely mysterious technique to resist a True God. After all, one of them had reached the eighth level in his domain, while the other had reached the seventh—neither even a Virtual God.
“With mere mortal bodies, these two are holding back the might of a deity…” Chen Xiao began to ponder.
He closed his eyes and sensed carefully. “Indeed, both of them possess divine power. They surely aren’t from the Virtual God forces on the periphery of the Source Continent. Lou Yu’s father… the Xuanyuan clan…” Chen Xiao pondered for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. “I’ll form a good bond with you and lend you a hand.”
Chen Xiao’s body disappeared silently.
By now, Chen Xiao had gradually adapted to the icy blue flame power within him and could control it well. Meanwhile, the chaotic power circulating in the Heavenly Map had begun to merge with the power of the Supreme God, allowing Chen Xiao to wield those forces as well. With the addition of this chaotic power, his strength had doubled compared to before. Now, even a peak True God could not detect his presence.
The grand hall glowed with a soft green light. There was a man with green hair, his face alluring like that of a woman. He was bare-chested, with a snake-like lower body. In his hand was a green wooden staff, emitting a strong green glow as it pressed toward Lou Yu and Xuanyuan Po.
By now, all the subordinates around the two of them had been completely killed, and a hazy glow surrounded each of their bodies. The light from the emerald-green divine staff could not get even a fraction closer when it came into contact with that hazy glow.
“Damn it! These two are protected by the essence of the Primordial Spirit God. My strength is weakened now; I only possess the power of a lowly early-stage True God. Damn it! Where did all the power in my divine essence go?”
The green-haired, snake-bodied man’s expression turned dark.
“Although you’re protected by your primordial essence, you’re still not gods. Die!”
The snake-bodied deity opened his mouth, and another scarlet long whip emerged from it. With a single swing of his hand, he grabbed the whip and swung it at Building’s body.
“It’s you who deserve to die!”
Suddenly, the snake-bodied deity felt a chilling aura locking down his body.
