Chapter 288: The Woman in Yellow
At the center of this insect nest lay an incredibly vast space. The space was densely filled with all kinds of insects, and outside, those terrifying golden insects of divine rank could be seen everywhere. Even those blood-red insects, as large as moons, were numerous here, but they remained like guards, never leaving this area. At the very heart of this space were enormous white larvae, which continuously laid eggs that dropped downward. In an instant, these eggs seemed to absorb some force from within the nest and hatched right away, turning into adult insect-devourers that scattered in all directions.
“So this is how these insects come about.”
Chen Xiao thought for a moment before his Dark Ship rushed toward those white larvae. If he could capture them, it would likely sever the nest’s roots completely. At that moment, with his power surging, those blood-red, primordial spirit-level insects couldn’t detect his presence.
Bang!
But the next instant, an invisible wall of light blocked Chen Xiao’s Dark Ship.
“There’s a strong opponent!”
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed. His Dark Ship, under the recoil force, took shape and became visible to the countless insects. Strangely, the insects around didn’t move; instead, they emitted cold intentions, watching every move of Chen Xiao.
“Little guy, to be able to reach here—quite impressive.”
Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice echoed slowly. Then, a faint glow appeared, and a slender figure in light yellow slowly emerged before Chen Xiao.
It was a woman dressed in a light yellow robe. Her long black hair fluttered in the breeze, drifting through the void, while a light yellow veil covered her cheeks, hiding her face.
“What a terrifying woman…”
Chen Xiao grew wary. His mind instantly connected with the Main God’s Space. This woman was beyond his match—likely, a mere gesture from her could reduce him to ashes.
“Little guy, who are you?” The woman in yellow smiled, looking at Chen Xiao with interest.
“Who I am? Can’t you tell just by seeing the True Spirit Divine Artifact beneath my feet?” Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. In an instant, he changed his mind and didn’t retreat to the Main God’s Space right away.
He no longer wanted to rely on the Main God’s Space. Otherwise, if he encountered an unparalleled strong opponent who blocked its power, he would have no choice but to die.
“A True Spirit Divine Artifact… Not bad, not bad… It seems I don’t have a suitable artifact yet. This one will do for now.”
The woman in yellow moved swiftly and climbed onto the ship. The dark forces outside the ship couldn’t approach her body.
“On my ship? Everything on this Dark Ship is under my control. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you right away?”
Seeing the woman in yellow enter the dark warship, Chen Xiao actually breathed a sigh of relief. The interior of this dark warship was different from the outside; here, Chen Xiao could mobilize more power to suppress her. However, upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, the woman simply smiled indifferently, showing no concern at all. “If this ship were still at its previous level—a primary divine artifact—I might have been a bit wary. But now, it’s just a true spirit divine artifact. And can you really unleash this ship’s true power right now?” The woman in yellow smiled cheerfully, continuously examining the ship, as if it had already become her property. “It seems this guy must be one of the strong ones among these insects, transformed into a form… Even insects at the first level of the Yuanling Divine realm can’t transform into forms. What kind of powerful being is this woman, then?” A smirk appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips; his face showed no fear, only growing calmer. Even though the woman in yellow revealed the true nature of the dark warship, Chen Xiao wasn’t surprised. The ship had just dropped from the status of a primary divine artifact to that of a true spirit divine artifact and wasn’t yet stable. At such a time, an unparalleled strong being could easily see through its true nature. “Heh, to find out if you can truly unleash its power, why not give it a try?” Chen Xiao’s expression grew increasingly sinister, making the woman in yellow feel even more uneasy. Since she could see through the ship hidden behind a hundred layers of barriers, she could naturally also discern Chen Xiao’s strength. He was just a cultivator at the ninth level of a certain domain. Although he had come here with the help of this ship, that didn’t mean he possessed great strength. Yet this young man before her didn’t seem afraid of her at all, which seemed rather unusual. “Try it?” The woman in yellow shook her head slightly. Suddenly, an enormous yellow light circle shot out from behind her and pressed toward Chen Xiao’s body. “Primordial Spirit Fire, Void Trajectories—activate!” Chen Xiao silently muttered. Instantly, the power of the Primordial Spirit Fire in his dantian erupted, releasing streams of void trajectories that wrapped around his body. In an instant, his body disappeared into thin air, only to reappear in another direction moments later. “Dark Warship, suppress!” The moment Chen Xiao reappeared, he quickly formed various seals with his hands and merged into the dark warship. Boom! The dark warship unleashed terrifying dark energy, instantly pressing down on the woman in yellow’s body. “Hm? Not bad. That intangible force within your body…” The woman in yellow frowned slightly before lifting her hand lightly. A glimmer of spirit light appeared, scattering the dark energy outright. But Chen Xiao didn’t give up. He continued to form seals with his hands, controlling the power of the dark warship to attack the woman in yellow repeatedly. Meanwhile, the woman in yellow stood motionless, her fingertips moving through the air, emitting streams of spirit light to weaken the power of the dark warship.
“Are there any other moves?” The woman in yellow still smiled, crossing her arms behind her back as she looked at Chen Xiao with a playful expression. The slightest doubt she had earlier had now vanished.
“Hmm, it seems this guy is at least at the True Spirit God level…” Chen Xiao took a deep breath, realizing that this woman was beyond his power to match.
“I summon you, Divine Master Split Shadow!”
In an instant, two ripples of water flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes. The power within him had transformed into the most primal power of the Water Supreme God.
Boom!
Divine Master Split Shadow appeared abruptly on the dark warship. By then, with Shui Miao’s assistance, the Divine Master’s injuries had fully healed. Although he fell into slumber once again, his split shadow could still be summoned by Chen Xiao.
Divine Master Split Shadow was the manifestation of the Supreme God!
The split shadow of Supreme God Chai Yunkē was also a Supreme God!
In an instant, Divine Master Split Shadow took control of the dark warship directly from Chen Xiao’s hands.
Boom!
The dark warship moved, and the dark energy within it was instantly transformed by Chai Yunkē’s terrifying power of the Water Supreme God into pure water energy!
The dark warship had now become a Dark True Spirit Divine Artifact, containing the laws of the True Spirit God. Faced with such terrifying Supreme God power, the laws of the Supreme God offered no resistance and were instantly transformed.
Although Divine Master Split Shadow was just a split shadow, he was still a Supreme God!
As Chen Xiao’s strength grew, the Divine Master Split Shadow he summoned became increasingly powerful. Now, Chai Yunkē’s form had solidified into a being that resembled a real living creature.
Chen Xiao finally saw Chai Yunkē’s true appearance.
It was a man dressed in a blue robe, appearing to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face, a hint of coldness, and a slender build. Waves of light blue water surrounded his body, constantly transforming all elemental forces in the surrounding space into water energy.
This was the power of a Supreme God!
“Young Master.”
Chai Yunkē approached Chen Xiao, bending slightly as he spoke to him respectfully.
“Guluh…”
“Guluh…”
Two sounds of swallowing saliva were heard. Both the woman in yellow and Chen Xiao stared at Chai Yunkē in disbelief.
Such a powerful being actually called Chen Xiao “Young Master”?! Who exactly was this young man?
The woman in yellow’s eyes widened, filled with incomprehension.
As for Chen Xiao, he was completely stunned. In the Supreme God’s realm, Chai Yunkē’s title was Divine Master, different from other believers. Chen Xiao had always thought that Chai Yunkē was just a friend of Kanrelas.
But now, Chen Xiao completely abandoned that idea. If even Chai Yunkē called him “Young Master,” then what kind of being was Kanrelas?
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, then raised his head and helped Chai Yunkē up. After all, the other party was a Supreme God, and Chen Xiao didn’t dare to be too presumptuous at this point.
“Well? Can I suppress you now?”
With Chai Yunkē’s clone, a smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face. He looked at the woman in yellow and asked with a smile, “The Supreme God… Could you be the Supreme God? Only the Supreme God could possess such terrifying thoughts…” A hint of fear flashed in the woman in yellow’s eyes as she glanced at Chai Yunkē with slight anxiety. “What is the Supreme God anyway?” Chai Yunkē shook his head slightly, filled with a sense of reflection. Hearing these words, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but recall the enormous corpses of gods in the world of supernatural powers. According to Xi Xi, even the weakest of those corpses were at the True Spirit God level! There were also many corpses of Supreme Gods. By this time, the woman in yellow had already been suppressed the moment Chai Yunkē appeared.
