Chapter 269: Secret Attack

Boom!
The black True God felt a loud explosion in his mind, followed by his consciousness plunging into endless darkness.
A one-hit kill!
The black True God’s eyes were wide open, his face filled with disbelief. The divine essence within his mind had been pierced by Qi Tian Jue and shattered into fragments.
“Qi Tian Jue is so sharp—it even shattered my divine essence.”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and Qi Tian Jue flew back into his grasp. All the divine laws within the black deity’s body had been swallowed by Qi Tian Jue, turning into traces of nothingness.
However, these traces of nothingness formed from the consumed divine laws did not enter the Origin Spirit Fire but instead went straight into Qi Tian Jue’s body, strengthening it.
Qi Tian Jue’s origin seemed to be composed of such traces as well. That’s why the current Origin Spirit Fire could refine a divine artifact as extraordinary as Qi Tian Jue.
Moreover, the falling snowflakes also underwent a transformation, seemingly turning into another Qi Tian Jue, with each snowflake becoming a sharp blade.
At this point, all forces within the black deity’s body had vanished. His physical form appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground.
Chen Xiao’s figure then appeared, standing tall in the sky.
Below, the two virtual goddesses felt the pressure on their bodies ease. They raised their heads in astonishment and saw Chen Xiao’s towering figure.
“So powerful! He actually killed a deity!”
Some descendants of guardians who were hiding in the shadows, waiting to take advantage, showed expressions of disbelief.
Even in the eyes of those who were about to become guardians, deities were supreme and omnipotent. Now, some guy had appeared and killed a deity with just one move—what was this?
The moment Chen Xiao attacked, the black deity’s mind was shaken, and he instinctively revealed his form. Everything that had happened—Chen Xiao’s attack and the deity’s downfall—was exposed to all eyes.
“Who is he? Could he also be a deity? But at this time, the deities among the guardians wouldn’t intervene…”
These candidates all looked astonished.
“Chen Xiao… it’s Chen Xiao…”
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression among the crowd gritted his teeth and said.
“What? Is that the Chen Xiao who killed Wan Si Yu Xiu?” The man beside him immediately turned pale.
“Wan Si Yu Xiu was the hope of our Wan Si clan, yet he was killed by this Chen Xiao…” About ten people from a group of guardian descendants, clearly members of the Wan Si clan, now regarded Chen Xiao as their mortal enemy. But they never expected him to possess such terrifying strength—a True God, though only an inferior one, had died at his hands.
Rumors said Chen Xiao was merely a ninth-tier supernatural being!
“Ling Lan thanks the senior for saving us. Please reveal your name.”
Below, the older of the two sisters bowed gracefully to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao lowered his head, gave them a brief glance, and then said, “It’s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.” His voice was utterly calm, and he didn’t say much more. Immediately afterward, his figure flashed and he disappeared. Chen Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to reveal his name—after all, he would do such things often in the future. It allowed him to save his companions from danger, gain fame, and establish an image of someone who sought no reward. If he revealed his name right away, the effects he wanted would likely be greatly diminished. In the days that followed, Chen Xiao continued to wander deep into this world of supernatural powers. Though it was vast, he could still see groups of descendants of guardians desperately heading deeper into it. “The Wan Si clan and I are now completely at odds…” Chen Xiao watched as ten people flew overhead. Like him, these ten also had the strength to reach the guardians’ headquarters immediately, yet they were instead wandering around this area. He even saw them once attacking three other descendants of guardians, killing them and seizing their Void God Laws. Through his observations over the past few days, Chen Xiao realized that these ten were the candidates for guardians from the Wan Si clan. “Since I’ve already angered them to the point of enmity, why not go all out and make it a never-ending feud?” The Wan Si clan had attacked Chen Xiao twice, nearly pushing him to death. If he didn’t do something in return, it would be hard to justify. Chen Xiao silently followed them, but he didn’t act immediately, staying behind them. Since the Wan Si clan was against him, Chen Xiao wouldn’t hold back either. … These ten people always stayed together. Although their goal was grand, the gods from the Source Continent generally wouldn’t attack such groups. Those qualified as candidates for guardians usually had some hidden strength. Two or three might be manageable, but ten together would even overwhelm even the gods, making it not worth the effort. “Target detected…” Suddenly, the lead man among the ten, a gloomy middle-aged man,’s eyes lit up. Ahead, at the edge of a small sunny area, three figures were using their Void God Laws to hide their auras as they rested in place. “Attack!” Instantly, the ten members of the Wan Si clan formed a square formation, mobilizing various laws in the surroundings to seal off that area. In the next moment, divine artifacts appeared in their hands, and terrifying attacks rushed toward the three figures. The three were shocked and immediately stood up, unleashing their own divine artifacts to defend themselves desperately. These descendants of guardians were wealthy and each possessed divine artifacts. Though their artifacts weren’t of the highest quality, they were genuine divine artifacts—far more powerful than Void Divine Artifacts.

The Void Gods who possess divine artifacts can achieve divinity through the laws of the deities within those artifacts. Undoubtedly, all descendants of these guardians have the potential to become gods. Every guardian family must have invested countless efforts and resources to cultivate such individuals.
“These… are all attacks by Void Gods, not deities! Damn it, we’ve been betrayed by our own!”
The man at the head of the three changed color violently. His hands quickly formed seals, burning his own Void God laws to activate the divine artifact. The artifact on his body created a domain that tightly protected the bodies of the three of them.
