Chapter 264: The Birth of the Primordial Spirit God

“Coward.”
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. This little guy seemed fearless, but once in this world of supernatural powers, even in a sunny area, he acted like a mouse.
Seeing Wan Si knocked unconscious by Xi Xi, Chen Xiao felt relieved. He immediately pulled Xi Xi back into the Main God’s Space.
“Good thing I brought Xi Xi out earlier; otherwise, we would really have fallen for his trick.”
Chen Xiao felt lucky. Using the same tactic twice—even he couldn’t believe it still worked—so he had made backups. He had forced Xi Xi out in advance.
Chen Xiao reached down with one hand, aiming to grab the body of that god below.
“Hm?”
He was slightly stunned. Though the god had been knocked unconscious by Xi Xi and fallen into the lake below, his grab should have been strong enough to pull something out even from hundreds of meters deep in a mine. Yet now, his hands were empty.
“Could it be that god wasn’t knocked out?”
Chen Xiao’s expression turned extremely grim. He sent his mental power beneath the lake’s surface, trying to find the god’s body.
“What’s going on? Did it escape?”
Chen Xiao blinked.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying force surged up from the lake beneath him, lifting him into the air. A domain even more powerful than a godly realm instantly confined the entire surrounding space.
In an instant, all the water-based beasts hidden in the lake surfaced, trembling on the water’s surface as if worshipping some mighty existence.
Around the lake, some beast-level monsters also knelt down, submitting to the lake.
A scorching light burst up from the lake, and the enormous lake was instantly dried up. Some powerful virtual god beasts were vaporized by this intense light, dying without a clear cause.
“Hm?”
At the center of this sunny area, an old man with green hair suddenly opened his eyes.
“Someone is ascending to the Primordial Spirit God here?”
The old man with green hair looked toward the lake in the surrounding area.
“But I’m very familiar with this sunny area. There are no beasts about to ascend… Could it be an external god ascending here?”
The old man closed his eyes, sensing briefly before shaking his head. He continued to rest, refining the enormous spiritual vein beneath him.
“Damn it, what’s going on?!”
Chen Xiao felt the scorching light, sensing his body about to be vaporized and his will to be worn away. Moreover, this space was confined by that strange domain, preventing him from returning to the Main God’s Space.
“This is… the Primordial Spirit God’s domain!”
Chen Xiao’s expression changed drastically. He never expected that god to be reduced from a true god to a Primordial Spirit God with just a slap from Xi Xi.
What was this? And what was that claw strike from Xi Xi?

Chen Xiao gulped hard. Inside his dantian, the primordial spiritual fire erupted instantly, burning fiercely around his body. The terrifying heat around him seemed to be naturally restrained by this primordial spiritual fire, retreating and unable to approach Chen Xiao’s body even slightly. By now, this large lake, which had originally covered an area of nearly a thousand miles, was completely dried up, with terrifying cracks appearing on its bottom. All water elements within a thousand miles had been evaporated by that dreadful heat. At the very center of the lakebed stood a red-haired man, motionless on the ground. Behind him, a fiery red halo glowed with intense light—the terrifying heat emanated from that halo. A primordial spirit! It was the primordial spirit of a Primordial Spirit God! The red primordial spirit behind this red-haired man proved that he was a Primordial Spirit God of the first rank! At this moment, Chen Xiao witnessed the birth of a Primordial Spirit God with his own eyes! Chen Xiao’s throat moved violently. The surrounding space was sealed, leaving him no chance to escape. If this Primordial Spirit God decided to attack, he could only wait for death. The puppet made from the corpse of a deity beside him also appeared somewhat weakened. But since it had once been a true deity, the power emitted by the Primordial Spirit God’s primordial spirit wasn’t enough to completely destroy it. “Chen Xiao…” The Primordial Spirit God below suddenly spoke. “This time, I really owe you thanks…” Suddenly, the halo behind the Primordial Spirit God faded, and all the heat disappeared. A cool breeze blew gently, and rain began to fall from the sky. The seal on the surrounding space was lifted, restoring Chen Xiao’s connection to the Main God Space. Hearing the words of this Primordial Spirit God, Chen Xiao felt relieved—apparently, he didn’t intend to kill him. “Thank me? For what?” Chen Xiao’s mind connected with the Main God Space as he stared intently at him. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ouyang,” Ouyang said calmly. “Previously, that old Wan Si tried to deal with you by seizing my body and forcing my soul into his divine essence.” Chen Xiao’s heart stirred slightly. “You see, with such a terrifying figure backing you, he couldn’t act directly, so he came up with this method.” Ouyang’s tone was filled with resentment. “So, Xi Xi’s punch…” Chen Xiao was stunned. “That’s right. That cat’s punch shattered Wan Si’s will, but his primordial spirit remained in my body… I was already at the peak of a true god. By obtaining his primordial spirit, I naturally advanced and achieved the supreme status of a Primordial Spirit God.” Ouyang’s tone carried a hint of nostalgia. Before being possessed by Wan Si, he thought he was doomed, but he never expected such an opportunity to arise. “Then don’t I owe you a debt of gratitude?” A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face.

“Could be said that way.” Ouyang was stunned. He hadn’t expected Chen Xiao to act in such a manner. He was just a practitioner in a certain field; not to mention being a Yuanling God, even if a true god appeared before him, it would be enough to make him tremble. But the next moment, Ouyang thought again and a wry smile appeared on his face. It must be because of the Great Immortal that Chen Xiao dares to be so reckless. Yet Ouyang was also helpless—the terror of the Great Immortal was such that even if he achieved the status of Yuanling God, he wouldn’t dare to challenge it. Even Wan Si, the founder of a guardian family, was suppressed by the Great Immortal so tightly that he didn’t dare make the slightest move.
