Chapter 254: Spirit Stone Veins

The blood-red fierce spirit at the intermediate Void God level suddenly raised its head.
The Void God-level fierce spirits in this area had once been part of a clan; even after death and transformation into fierce spirits, the clan still existed. Now, members of this clan were disappearing one after another, and the clan leader also sensed something unusual.
With a roar from its mouth, all the fierce spirits in the area immediately became alert. Their faces showed signs of wariness as they gathered closer to their fellow clan members.
“Damn it, these fierce spirits are quite intelligent.”
After restoring his energy, Chen Xiao felt slightly troubled seeing these fierce spirits in such a vigilant state.
“Catching Thieves King! First, take down this intermediate Void God-level fierce spirit!”
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. His body instantly transformed into a streak of motion and appeared right in front of the intermediate Void God-level fierce spirit.
“Die!”
The moment Chen Xiao appeared, Qi Tian Kuo shot out abruptly, carrying immense wind and thunder force. Even the surrounding space was shattered by this terrifying strike.
“Roar!” The fierce spirit seemed prepared. Upon seeing Qi Tian Kuo flying toward it, it even showed a hint of a human-like smile.
It suddenly stretched out its right hand, which transformed into a giant claw, and lunged at Qi Tian Kuo, which was barely visible.
Boom!
The claw and Qi Tian Kuo collided violently in mid-air. Caught off guard, Chen Xiao was flung ten miles away. His chest sank slightly—his ribcage had been shattered by that strike.
“Roar!”
The Void God-level fierce spirit also suffered greatly. Qi Tian Kuo had only one attribute: sharpness. By trying to block it with its fleshy claw, its entire palm was pierced, leaving a grotesque and terrifying hole.
In horror, it realized that a sharpness remained in its palm, continuously cutting at its wound. Even the floating Void God laws were completely destroyed.
A fierce spirit at the intermediate Void God level now showed fear on its face.
Ten miles away, Chen Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Fortunately, Snowflakes in Flight is protecting my body. Otherwise, that strike would have completely shattered me.”
Chen Xiao felt a wave of fear. He hadn’t mastered the Law of Immortality, and this wasn’t the Main God’s space. If his body was destroyed, he would die completely.
From within his mind sea, threads of the Main God’s power flowed out, repairing his injuries and restoring his shattered ribcage.
“One more time. I doubt you can still die!”
A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. Before the numerous fierce spirits could surround him, he disappeared again. Soon after, he reappeared behind a lower-level Void God-level fierce spirit. With a wave of his hand, Qi Tian Kuo pierced its head, destroying its soul. Its body was then taken back to the Main God’s space.

Chen Xiao’s body once again left calmly. By now, he had gradually taken control of the changes in his Origin Spirit Fire, knowing how to exert its greatest power with minimal consumption. It seemed that Qi Tian Jue could also absorb the trajectory energy within the Origin Spirit Fire, boosting its own power and enabling it to unleash formidable combat strength. Every time he killed a fierce spirit, the power of his Origin Spirit Fire grew stronger, and so did his own combat abilities. Chen Xiao’s figure appeared and disappeared among the fierce spirits like a ghost, deliberately avoiding the strongest ones and targeting only the weaker ones for slaughter. “This guy is truly a battle genius!” The white-haired elder hid on the other side of the space, his expression now numb. As Chen Xiao killed more and more fierce spirits, not only did his Origin Spirit Fire grow stronger, but his combat skills also improved, allowing him to use Qi Tian Jue with greater proficiency. “You Tian Jian Jue! Kill!” Suddenly, Chen Xiao roared. Qi Tian Jue flew out of his hand and pierced toward the head of another intermediate-level fierce spirit. This time, the fierce spirit had no chance at all. The wounds it already suffered were tormenting it to death, and upon seeing Qi Tian Jue approaching again, fear arose instinctively in it. The fierce spirit turned to flee, but Qi Tian Jue’s speed was beyond its comparison. In an instant, its head was pierced, and its soul was annihilated. “All of you, die!” With a gesture of his hand, Chen Xiao made Qi Tian Jue spin slightly in midair before it soared into the sky, turning into a terrifying rain of swords that covered the entire area. All the fierce spirits within that area were killed by this deadly sword rain. With a single wave of his hand, the bodies of over a hundred Void Divine Fierce Spirits were instantly dragged into the Main God Space. Their Void Divine Laws were refined, and their corpses were turned into Fierce Spirit Puppets. But this time, Chen Xiao ignored them. He slammed his palm downward, creating a huge crack in the space of that region. A faint silver light shone from beneath the crack. “Good, it’s indeed a spirit stone vein! Spirit stones are rare even in the Main God Space. Who would have thought that these brainless guys would occupy such a large spirit stone vein?” Chen Xiao smiled at the silver light. Spirit stones were different from Origin Stones and Energy Crystals. Although Origin Stones and Energy Crystals were extremely powerful, they were essentially formed from condensed energy, providing power for those with supernatural abilities or cultivators. But spirit stones were different. They were entities formed from the laws of the universe. A spirit stone vein represented a vast amount of legal power, its value almost rivaling that of an Origin Divine Artifact. “If this huge spirit stone vein is consumed by my Origin Spirit Fire, it will surely have the power to refine and devour Origin Divine Artifacts…” Chen Xiao’s eyes gleamed.

“Although the power of the Primordial Spirit Fire has increased, the strength within me remains constant, and I cannot provide it with an even greater source of power…”
“If I were to obtain the last piece of the Remnant Sky Map and refine it, I would likely reach the Source Realm. At that time, by devouring this spirit stone vein and another Primordial Divine Artifact, my combat power will surely soar… I might even be able to challenge a Peak Void God!”
A faint glow appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes.
