Chapter 267: Domain Triple!
“As expected, they’ve arrived.”
Chen Xiao felt a slight stir in his heart upon seeing the scene before him. Among the three figures in the water waves, the one with the highest cultivation was the man—a beginner-level Void God. The other two women were only at the Domain stage.
Yet these three were able to withstand the attacks from the deity in the void, thanks to the layer of water waves surrounding their bodies.
“These three must be candidates for guardians…”
Chen Xiao didn’t act rashly. He had already sensed that there were others hidden in the vicinity—not just him. It seemed the entire space was covered in a dense network of traps.
Although these three had at most beginner-level Void God cultivation, they managed to resist the deity’s attacks for an unknown length of time. Clearly, they were bait meant to lure others in.
“Save them, or not?”
Chen Xiao pondered silently.
At present, among the guardians, he only knew one Great Immortal. Though powerful, there was only one such person. What he lacked was experience among the guardians.
In fact, with his current strength, Chen Xiao was undoubtedly qualified to become a guardian—there was no doubt about it.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt a shift in his heart. He sensed that others had also arrived near this area. These people weren’t deities, but they emitted strong and subtle fluctuations of laws, clearly belonging to some powerful artifact.
However, they seemed unhurried and had no intention of intervening to rescue them.
Realizing the arrival of other candidate guardians, Chen Xiao also stayed calm and observed quietly.
What puzzled him, though, was the strange behavior of these newcomers. They neither tried to rescue the three nor left, seemingly waiting quietly for something.
Boom!
Suddenly, the protection surrounding the three figures was shattered, exposing their bodies to the deity’s fierce attacks.
After three agonized screams, their bodies were completely destroyed, and they died instantly.
But the moment they died, countless streams of light rushed over, vying to devour the laws within their bodies. One even snatched the man’s Void God essence and swallowed it whole. Then, these candidate guardians scattered immediately.
Strangely enough, the deity in the void did not attack during this time.
A deep chill rose in Chen Xiao’s heart.
He had thought these people were waiting for the right moment to rescue them, but instead, they were here to devour the laws within their bodies.
“Is this reality? People eating each other, devouring their comrades’ corpses!”
Chen Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly. It was only then that he realized what kind of relationship existed among guardians before.
They could be indifferent to one another, even ignoring their comrades when attacked, but waiting for them to die so as to devour their laws.
In an instant, Chen Xiao’s mindset changed completely, his previous impression of guardians being utterly transformed.
“It seems that no matter where you are, reality remains the same.”
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
If he couldn’t change the world, then he would change himself.
…
Along the way, Chen Xiao had encountered many candidates heading to the Guardians’ headquarters, but most of them came in groups of three or five; few, like Chen Xiao, went alone. In their eyes, that was pure suicide.
“Damn it! I’ve already covered half the distance and am getting closer to the Guardians’ headquarters. Why are there more and more attacks?”
Suddenly, a fierce energy locked onto Chen Xiao’s body, followed by onslaughts like a storm.
Chen Xiao barely managed to twist his body, with the “Falling Snowflakes” technique appearing swiftly to protect him.
After a month in this world of supernatural abilities, this was already the ninth attack Chen Xiao had faced.
He wasn’t a god yet; he couldn’t remain vigilant at all times, hiding himself perfectly. The slightest lapse would allow the deities from the Origin Continent to detect him and launch devastating attacks.
During the seventh attack, it had nearly cost him his life. If it weren’t for detonating that divine puppet at the critical moment, he would have perished.
But this time, Chen Xiao had gained experience, and he used the triple-layered domain within him more skillfully.
With “Falling Snowflakes” as protection, a pale purple domain enveloped his body.
“Zixiao Tianying—connect to the Prime God’s space.”
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. Within the domain’s true water realm, Zixiao Tianying transformed into a streak of light, instantly breaking through the divine realm’s defenses. The power of the Prime God’s space surged forth.
Without hesitation, Chen Xiao vanished.
Faced with such crisis, he didn’t care about anything else. After enduring these nine terrifying attacks, he understood that saving his life was the top priority, no matter what it took.
Although he relied heavily on the Prime God’s space, it belonged to him and was part of his strength. If he could use it, why not?
“Chen Xiao.”
As soon as he entered the Prime God’s space, he saw Shui Miao, smiling at him.
“Hm? Shui Miao, how did you get here?”
Chen Xiao’s expression changed. Previously, when the Prime God Chai Yunkē was injured, Shui Miao had been in the center of the supernatural world, treating him. Her appearance now meant Chai Yunkē’s injuries were fully healed.
“Chen Xiao, I want to tell you that your soul has reached the domain level. This allows you to fully unlock the lower worlds in the Prime God’s space and directly obtain their faith to enhance your strength.”
By now, Shui Miao was no longer the indifferent, expressionless person Chen Xiao had first met. She now resembled a normal human, with her own emotions.
“Huh?”
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. When he reached the domain level, Shui Miao was still in the core of the Prime God’s space. Although he was now the true master of this space-like, artifact-like existence, he was still not familiar with it.
“You have now understood the laws of the soul. The soul is protected by these laws, and strength can be obtained entirely through faith.”
A broad smile appeared on Shui Miao’s face.
“How should I do it?” Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up slightly.
In fact, the Temple of Glory already had countless followers in the world of supernatural powers, who constantly provided Chen Xiao with the power of faith. However, given Chen Xiao’s current level of cultivation, this power of faith was barely significant and had little impact.
But within the Space of the Supreme God, there were countless worlds, with hundreds of millions of followers. If Chen Xiao could utilize this power of faith, who knew how much stronger he would become.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was quite eager.
Shui Miao smiled faintly. With a gentle wave of her pale hand in the air, the first layer of the Space of the Supreme God was unlocked, releasing all the worlds within it.
Shui Miao was the spirit of this space; the Space of the Supreme God was her true form. Her control over it far surpassed that of Chen Xiao. With just a wave of her hand, she unlocked all the lower worlds in the Space of the Supreme God.
Chen Xiao had an illusion—he even thought that even without reaching the realm level, Shui Miao could unlock these worlds.
Boom!
The entire Space of the Supreme God trembled slightly as endless power of faith surged from these worlds.
“Three thousand worlds!”
Chen Xiao was struck by realization. He accurately sensed that there were three thousand lower worlds in the Space of the Supreme God. Each of these worlds contained hundreds of millions of beings—true worlds, countless times larger than Earth.
Three thousand streams of golden light of faith erupted from these worlds, converging in the void to form a single stream of purple-golden light, which instantly rushed into Chen Xiao’s mind.
Not only this stream of purple-golden light—outside these three thousand worlds, there were also countless planets filled with beings, all of whom were Chen Xiao’s followers. The combined power of faith from these beings was enough to rival that of four or five worlds.
By absorbing this power of faith, Chen Xiao’s soul was further elevated.
He heard a loud explosion in his mind as the fusion between his soul and his Supreme God essence increased once again. At the same time, Zi Xiao Tian Ying evolved once more. A clear will descended from the heavens, enhancing Zi Xiao Tian Ying instantly, turning its originally light purple color into deep purple.
“Thousand Waters Realm… Ten Thousand Waters Realm?”
A smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
“One realm is enough. Why need so many? Merge them all into the True Waters Realm!”
Two streams of purple light shot out from Chen Xiao’s eyes as two new realms—Thousand Waters Realm and Ten Thousand Waters Realm—were released from his Supreme God essence and merged into the True Waters Realm. In an instant, the power of the True Waters Realm surged again.
And now, Chen Xiao had truly reached the third realm of the Domain. The Law of the Soul underwent an instant transformation, giving rise from within to a subtle law brimming with vitality—a law that was none other than the Law of Life, the essence that controls life itself.
In the next moment, the Law of Life and the Law of the Soul merged abruptly, forming a completely new and extremely resilient law.
The Law of Immortality!
As soon as it appeared, the Law of Immortality spread throughout Chen Xiao’s body, protecting his life, soul, and physical form in every cell.
“Third realm of the Domain! The third level of Zi Xiao Heaven!”
Two beams of light shot from Chen Xiao’s eyes.
