Chapter 265: Seven Divine Beings

“Even with a great immortal backing him, he shouldn’t remain so calm when facing a Primordial Spirit God.”
Ouyang couldn’t help but feel curious.
“Since you are my benefactor, I will offer you some help at the right time,” Ouyang said. “But right now, going to the Guardians’ headquarters is also a test for you. No one can assist you during this time; otherwise, the great immortal would surely intervene.”
Ouyang’s expression turned somewhat unnatural. He felt his promise seemed a bit empty, so he reached out and took out the three spirit vein mines that Wan Si had given him earlier.
“These three spirit stone veins are given to you as a small token of my gratitude,” Ouyang said, his face unconsciously turning red.
Logically, the fact that Ouyang had survived and risen to become a Primordial Spirit God was already a miracle in his eyes—equivalent to Chen Xiao giving him a second life. Yet Ouyang only offered three large spirit vein mines, which was rather disappointing.
After all, rising from the peak of a True God to a Primordial Spirit God was no less difficult than going from an ordinary person to a True God.
“Then I shall accept more blessings from my senior,” Chen Xiao replied, his expression unchanged. Even a Primordial Spirit God, let alone a True God, seemed lofty in his eyes.
Chen Xiao could speak to Ouyang so calmly because the main divine entity in his sea of consciousness continuously emitted its aura. Just as a newborn tiger wouldn’t fear an adult hunting dog, even though that dog could easily tear the tiger to pieces.
Since Ouyang had promised to help him in the future, Chen Xiao didn’t say anything more.
At the divine realm, even silence carried rules and laws, forming oracles. Thus, Ouyang’s promise to help Chen Xiao in the future was already an oracle issued to him, protected by the laws of heaven and earth. Chen Xiao wasn’t worried at all that Ouyang might go back on his word.
Moreover, from Ouyang’s tone, Chen Xiao understood that the great immortal was also an extremely powerful figure among the Guardians, and Ouyang wanted to use Chen Xiao to get closer to him.
Chen Xiao had already grasped Ouyang’s intentions.
With a wave of his hand, he took the three spirit stone veins from Ouyang. Each of these veins was a hundred times larger than the two Chen Xiao had obtained before, and the power of the laws contained within them was tens of thousands of times greater than that in the previous spirit stones.
“With these three veins, it seems I won’t need to seek other veins or divine laws for a while,” Chen Xiao thought to himself. He realized that if he used his primal spirit fire to refine just one of these veins, it would take over three years, even if he exerted all his strength. The power of the laws in such large veins was too profound, and his primal spirit fire hadn’t yet developed to that level.
Seeing Chen Xiao’s reaction, Ouyang showed a slight satisfied smile. He nodded and then slowly disappeared into the void.

“That wretched Wan Si actually dares to scheme against me…” Ouyang’s thoughts reverberated fiercely in the void.
“Your Wan Si family may be powerful, but you only have one Yuanling God… I, Ouyang, am a killer—a killer at the Yuanling God level. Hmph, old Wan Si, prepare for my revenge.”
…
“It seems the Wan Si clan is about to suffer a great misfortune this time…” Chen Xiao saw Ouyang disappear and wore a smirk of schadenfreude.
This was an unexpected gain. Essentially, Chen Xiao hadn’t done anything at all yet, but he had already acquired a Yuanling God and three large spirit stone veins.
The power of the laws contained within these three spirit stone veins far surpassed that of a True God. In Chen Xiao’s eyes, nothing could be more valuable.
Chen Xiao stored the three spirit stone veins in his Main God Space without rushing to refine them. Instead, he let the spirit stones continuously emit their laws of power, slowly integrating them into his primordial spiritual fire.
As Chen Xiao’s strength grew, his connection to the Main God Space became stronger. Now, not only his spirit but also his physical body began to connect with it.
In other words, items placed in the Main God Space could release energy to replenish his body.
“I wonder what realm I need to reach before the Main God Space—a space containing infinite worlds—can merge with my domain?”
Unconsciously, such a thought arose in Chen Xiao’s mind.
“Never mind. It’s better to focus on improving my strength first.”
Chen Xiao’s eyes sharpened.
“Sky Dragon Move!”
With a deep roar, his body instantly transformed into a dragon shadow. Protected by complex trajectories, it swiftly moved along the edge of the sunny region.
Chen Xiao dared not venture deep into the sunny region. If some unruly Yuanling God appeared and killed him in an instant, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
Moreover, he currently didn’t have the ability to hide his presence from Yuanling Gods. He could only walk cautiously along the edge, where there were still many powerful divine beasts.
The Sky Dragon Move was a technique Chen Xiao developed after devouring the Sky Dragon artifact and acquiring its attributes. Once activated, it seemed as though his entire being existed in another parallel space, making it impossible for cultivators below the level of gods to capture his form.
“Hm? Is someone there?”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s body moved, disappearing entirely into the void.
…
In this area, the corpses of several fierce beasts lay scattered everywhere. Even the ruler of this region—a giant divine beast over a hundred meters long—was dead, with a large hole in its forehead, clearly indicating that its divine essence had been stolen.
On an open area, a group of seven people sat around a fire, discussing something. Above the fire lay the corpse of a beast at the Virtual God level, from which grease was dripping, emitting a pleasant aroma.

“That so-called Guardian seems to be planning some kind of event. The guards there will likely relax then; this is our last chance,” said a green-haired man, fiddling with the flames in boredom.
“Damn it, those Guardians—even the lowest-ranked ones are all powerful deities. Isn’t this asking for death?” complained a giant bald man beside the green-haired man in a deep voice.
“Wow, the fluctuations of laws around these people… are they all deities?”
Chen Xiao swallowed hard. Aside from the Heavenly Dragon Treasures, this was the first time Chen Xiao had seen so many deities gathered together.
