Chapter 261: Setting Off

“Not bad, Chen Xiao. You need to be wary of those from the Wanqi clan and the Long family—they’re from the depths of the Superpower World. They’re descendants of an old rival of mine. Be careful.”
A playful smile suddenly appeared on the Great Immortal’s face.
“Of course. I can hold back the older generation of the Wanqi clan. If you have the strength, go ahead and give their younger generation a good lesson.”
Seeing the Great Immortal’s expression, Chen Xiao felt as if he had been outmaneuvered. An uncontrollable shiver ran through him.
“Two months—there are still two months until the Guardian election. You just need to reach the depths of the Superpower World within those two months.” After a brief pause, the Great Immortal smiled slightly. “But it would take a mere True God about a month to travel from here to the depths of the Superpower World, where the Guardians are.”
Hearing the Great Immortal’s words, Chen Xiao swallowed hard. Although he now had the strength to challenge a Peak Void God, there was a huge gap between a Peak Void God and a true True God—one who had achieved divinity through his own understanding. In fact, a True God could easily destroy a hundred Peak Void Gods in a single move; the two were incomparable.
Yet, it still took a True God a month to reach the Guardians’ location.
Chen Xiao weighed his own strength against that of a True God and reluctantly realized that two months might just be enough.
“This is a map leading to the Guardians’ location. The journey is a bit dangerous, but with your skills, you should be able to make it. Consider it a small test for you.”
The Great Immortal’s voice echoed in the sky, but his figure gradually dissipated into the heavens and earth.
At this point, Chen Xiao was certain that the Water Mirror he had seen in the Tianlong Secret Treasury, and the so-called master he had heard about, was none other than the Great Immortal.
“This old fellow really hid well.”
Chen Xiao curled his lips slightly. He unfolded the map in his hands, memorized all the routes, then snapped his hands—turning the map to ashes as it slowly disappeared.
“It seems I have no choice but to go this time. Judging from the Great Immortal’s serious expression…”
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. Subconsciously, he felt that things weren’t as the Great Immortal said. Although there were many fierce creatures in the Superpower World and the atmosphere of death was terrifying, the Water of Death under his control seemed capable of suppressing such deadly energies. And even if those creatures escaped, what could they do?
There were countless gods in the universe. Just a few Supreme Gods would likely overwhelm those fierce creatures. Could it be that there were Supreme God-level creatures deep in the Superpower World?
Chen Xiao found such an idea absurd. After some thought, he arrived at a conclusion: the existence of the Guardians seemed not to be to prevent the fierce creatures from escaping, but rather to stop gods and powerful beings from the outside world from entering the Superpower World.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought of the deity in the Main God’s Space, whose head had a huge hole in it. This deity seemed to have been of high rank in life, but was killed with a single strike—probably by a powerful being among the Guardians. With a wave of his hand, a ball of golden light appeared in his palm. “Fuyun…” Chen Xiao murmured softly. “Young master!” In the Glory Temple, Fuyun, who was refining the Dragon Emperor bloodline he had absorbed earlier, suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment, his body appeared before Chen Xiao. “This is the Dragon Emperor bloodline from Long Tianhong’s body. You must have absorbed and refined it.” Chen Xiao reached out and injected the bloodline directly into Fuyun’s body. Instantly, Fuyun’s eyes shone with golden light. “Guigui, Mumu, Shuiyueying, Lingyan, and Yuanyue—you five, stay here to guard Fuyun.” After giving these instructions, a icy blue light flashed around Chen Xiao’s body, and he vanished from that spot in an instant. Only after obtaining the map from the Great Immortal did Chen Xiao realize just how vast this world of superpowers really was. Previously, when he encountered Bu Qingchen, he thought he was already near the core of this world, but it turned out that place was still just the periphery, far from the true depths. “Good heavens, what kind of place is this world of superpowers… the corpses of ancient deities, Guardians…” Chen Xiao’s body was surrounded by streams of void-like trails as it rushed through the world at incredible speed. This time, it was a hundred times faster than when he first arrived. In less than half a day, Chen Xiao reached the place where he had met Bu Qingchen last time. “That Bu Qingchen must have been watching me here…” Chen Xiao tried hard to recall. “His lair should be here. When those 2,800 Void God Puppets exploded, he must have been severely injured too.” A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. His mental power instantly covered the area, trying to detect any clues. “Hm? Nothing… He must have run away already.” Finally, Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly. “But along the way, I can kill more monsters and turn them into puppets. Even if their combat strength isn’t high, they can still serve as human bombs.” Chen Xiao thought to himself. Then, he slowed down. By now, the primal spiritual fire in his dantian had grown to the size of a fist, and the amount of Main God power it consumed was also increasing. But now, Chen Xiao had truly understood the laws of the soul. His soul had begun to merge with the Main God essence, allowing him to draw significantly more Main God power—from almost a hundred times more than before—enough to withstand the burning of the primal spiritual fire. Moreover, the Purple Sky Shadow contained endless Purple Sky energy. When combined with the Main God power, it became an unprecedented Chaos Main God power. With the arrival of the Purple Sky Shadow and the full release of the Main God power within the Main God essence, the resulting Chaos Main God power was even of higher quality than before.

But the power of this Chaos Supreme God could only serve as fuel in the face of the Primordial Spirit Fire. This Primordial Spirit Fire seemed to be controlled by entities that were not tolerated by the gods. Somehow, it had now entered Chen Xiao’s body. If it were to leak out, he would likely become a true enemy of all gods and be attacked by them. It seemed that only once before, in the Supreme God’s space, when Chen Xiao fully unleashed the Primordial Spirit Fire to fight against the Dark Supreme God Montast, had it been recognized. Chen Xiao wasn’t sure either how many gods could identify the Primordial Spirit Fire. Moreover, most of the time he used its power was through the integration of Snowflakes Drifting and Heaven Defying Blade—both divine weapons that required the burning of the Primordial Spirit Fire. At that moment, Chen Xiao’s body was enveloped by his domain, the True Water Realm. This domain absorbed the power of Purple Sky Heavenly Shadows and merged with the Snowflake Realm emitted by Snowflakes Drifting, making it extremely powerful. With a movement of his body, Chen Xiao reached the top of a mountain, and his domain was activated instantly, enveloping the entire mountain. Inside this mountain, there were numerous Virtual God monsters, which were instantly killed by the sharp snowflakes within the domain. In this world, just like on the Source Continent, at the periphery, a Virtual God could be as formidable as a T-Rex, but deeper in, they could be found everywhere. In such an environment, cultivators at the lower levels of Virtual Gods or monsters simply couldn’t survive. With a thought from Chen Xiao, the corpses of these monsters were sent directly into the Supreme God’s space. The next moment, he used up the last two spots for summoning divine disciples in the Supreme God’s space. A man and a woman, two peak-level Virtual Gods, appeared instantly and began rapidly crafting Virtual God puppets. Chen Xiao did not use the Primordial Spirit Fire to devour the laws of Virtual Gods within these beings. Now, the power of the laws of a true god absorbed by the Primordial Spirit Fire had evolved to an extreme level, so that even more laws of Virtual Gods could not make it evolve further. Chen Xiao understood that to make the Primordial Spirit Fire evolve again, he would have to hunt down gods, devour their laws, or refine spirit stone veins. But at his current level, the first stage of Purple Sky Heaven, he was still no match for gods. The Purple Sky Heaven realm was divided into nine stages, corresponding to the nine realms within the domain. Yet even so, the Purple Sky Heaven realm was far stronger than the domain realms. “Finally, I see a high-level Virtual God monster.” Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s eyelids twitched, and his body shot forward. A hundred miles away, a blood-red monster resembling a giant wolf lay quietly on the ground, its mouth wide open, devouring the power surging up from beneath. “Good, this giant wolf monster is actually occupying a spirit stone vein.” Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. Spirit stones were formed from pure laws of power, almost equivalent to a godly law. The small spirit vein he had obtained before had also been fully refined by him. But this underground vein, though small, was much larger and of higher quality than what he had before. “Die!”

Faced with the high-level Void God monster, Chen Xiao did not activate his domain. He knew that the strength of his domain was not yet sufficient to trap such a high-level Void God, and if his domain were broken, he would suffer severe damage as well. Just like Li Mo, whose domain was shattered and he was reduced to pieces. Moreover, Chen Xiao had not yet grasped the Law of Immortality; even if his body were destroyed, his soul could survive, but he would need to find another vessel. The true form of Qi Tian Que transformed into a streak of light, instantly piercing through the head of that high-level Void God puppet. “Spirit Stone veins, capture them for me!”
