Chapter 317: Chaos Unleashed

After cultivating in the Nine Layers of Realm, the laws they understood began to merge, forming the Law of the Virtual God. The power within the Virtual God had transformed into Divine Power, which was so immense that it could only be wielded freely under the guidance of these laws. When Chen Xiao achieved divinity and fully activated the Divine Power within his primary divine essence, it was Chen Xiao’s mental energy that now directed the flow of this power, even that of the Heavenly Forces depicted in the Heavenly Map. No matter how strong one’s soul power might be, it was insufficient to control Divine Power.

At this point, all the true divine laws within Chen Xiao’s body had been assimilated by the Primordial Path. In other words, the power within him had almost lost its ability to be controlled. “How could this happen?” Chen Xiao’s expression turned extremely grim. The massive Primordial Path, much like the Primordial Spirit Flame before it—actually, a Primordial Spirit Flame formed from the power of a path—could replace the laws and drive the power within his body. Yet, if even the slightest trace of it were revealed, Chen Xiao would be doomed forever. Not only would all the deities in the universe be unable to save him, but even the few supreme beings from the Land of Origins would be unable to help him escape.

Without the guidance of the laws, Tianlong Yi and Tianlong Xing also gradually slowed down. “Primordial Path, activate!” Ignoring everything else, Chen Xiao desperately urged the Primordial Path to take over, replacing the old laws and driving the Heavenly Forces. Boom! Under the drive of this Primordial Path, although the power of the Heavenly Forces and the Divine Power didn’t increase, their flexibility improved by more than ten times. Instantly, Chen Xiao’s speed soared as he left Black Prison far behind.

“Damn it! How can he be this fast?” Black Prison was stunned. His divine senses had been attached to Chen Xiao’s body, monitoring his movements. Seeing Chen Xiao’s speed increase, he showed an expression of disbelief. “You’re seeking death!” At that moment, Black Prison saw the Green Yue Divine King reassemble into a physical form and block his path. This time, Black Prison became utterly enraged. His Fangtian Halberd split into countless illusions, sealing off the surrounding space as he thrusts at the Green Yue Divine King’s body. “Damn it! Do you really intend to exterminate me completely?!” The Green Yue Divine King never expected that this divine king, filled with despair, would actually try to kill him. After all, a desperate divine king could seriously injure another even of a higher rank. Normally, it was hard for divine kings to kill each other unless there was a life-or-death feud.

“Roar!” The Green Yue Divine King roared fiercely, producing a green long sword in his hand and swinging it at Black Prison’s halberd. “Die!” At this point, Black Prison was so enraged that he acted impulsively. Chen Xiao’s speed increased again, almost breaking free from his divine senses’ reach. How could he not panic? Yet, this man kept persisting in attacking him, so naturally, Black Prison resorted to killing him in anger. Boom!

For this strike, Black Prison had deployed all its strength. Green Yue was merely a low-level Divine King, and under this terrifying attack, his body was shattered once again. Thus, the soul of Divine King Green Yue was completely destroyed, leading to his utter death. The gap between a low-level True Spirit Divine and a peak True Spirit Divine is simply too vast. Moreover, Green Yue had only become a Divine King not long ago and had not truly understood the differences among Divine Kings. He had always thought that all Divine Kings were equal and superior to one another; otherwise, an experienced one would never risk confronting such a powerful being. At the moment of Green Yue’s death, Sky Dragon Claw flew out of the void once more, swiftly seizing Green Yue’s True Spirit Divine laws and essence before disappearing. Sky Dragon Claw was so fast that even Black Prison could not detect its presence. Yet Black Prison wasn’t worried at all—once Chen Xiao was captured, everything he had consumed would return. The laws of one True Spirit Divine could be of great benefit to another. “Green Yue is dead?” “Heh, I wonder who killed that naive kid…” … At the instant of his death, Green Yue was noticed by several other Divine Kings, but they showed little anger over his death. Instead, they began scheming to divide up his territory. If the Divine King who ruled this place were still alive, they would coexist peacefully, with only minor conflicts—nothing serious. But once a Divine King perished, his territory and subordinate worlds would immediately be divided among the others, causing a loss of faith. “These Divine Kings are truly indifferent.” Chen Xiao also sensed the surrounding divine thoughts but ignored them, continuing to refine Green Yue’s True Spirit Divine laws while flying swiftly in another direction. However, he did not go deeper into the continent, as Divine Kings already lurked in the vicinity. Entering the deeper areas and attracting several main gods would be troublesome. Chen Xiao changed direction, flying toward where the Divine King who had sent out the divine thoughts was located. As Chen Xiao moved, Black Prison paid no attention. All he cared about was Chen Xiao. As long as he earned the Death Sovereign’s favor and received a supreme artifact, even offending all the Divine Kings of the Source Continent wouldn’t matter to him. The Death Sovereign was no ordinary main god—he stood at the pinnacle among them, a supreme being at the apex of power. That innocent Divine King never expected that after killing Green Yue, Black Prison would head straight for him. His divine senses couldn’t detect Chen Xiao’s presence at all. Thinking that Black Prison, enraged by Green Yue’s death, had come to kill him, he immediately grew wary. At the same time, his voice echoed in the minds of the other Divine Kings. “Be careful, everyone. This person’s origins are unknown. He’s likely a wicked Divine King who kills True Spirit Divines to steal their laws.” That True Spirit Divine was clever enough to shift the blame onto Black Prison while also binding the other Divine Kings to his own warship.

After all, the dragon claw that appeared in the void just now and seized Greenyue’s laws and divinity were all witnessed by them. The other several God Kings, upon hearing the message from that God King, fell into deep thought but did not gather immediately; instead, they continued to observe coldly. Boom! Hei Yu arrived above that God King’s palace and struck fiercely, reducing the magnificent palace to rubble in one blow. “You!” That God King was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression and a hooked nose, appearing cunning and deceitful. The moment he saw Hei Yu, he realized he could not afford to offend this God King, so he quickly avoided confrontation and vanished. But Hei Yu seemed unwilling to let him go and pursued him immediately. Frightened beyond measure, the God King suddenly accelerated his speed and flew toward another God King’s territory. Hei Yu’s body turned in the void and continued to chase after him. “Hmph, you kid are quite cunning, coming up with such a plan. But even if you lure out all the True Spirit Gods here, so what? They’re just a few low-level True Spirit Gods; killing them is no big deal.” Hei Yu’s voice reached Chen Xiao’s mind, filled with cold laughter. “Hmm, all the God Kings have heard this. It’s not my fault; he’s had murderous intentions toward you all for a long time…” Chen Xiao muttered to himself. Under the effect of Tian Long Xing, his body remained closely attached to that gloomy middle-aged man, moving with him. Boom! Suddenly, Hei Yu’s speed surged again. His True Spirit Divine Weapon, Fang Tian Hua Ji, transformed into a black dragon, enveloping both Chen Xiao and that True Spirit God in its attack range. “Don’t you know that killing True Spirit Gods recklessly and seizing their laws will alert the Supreme God deep in the continent, leading to his punishment?” That True Spirit God shouted in fear as he unleashed a divine diagram from his body to block Hei Yu’s attack. “Hmm, thank you, friend, for blocking this strike for me…” Chen Xiao felt grateful and immediately activated Tian Long Xing and Tian Long Wings again, hiding in the void. Boom! Boom! Boom! Hei Yu, as if mad, launched terrifying attacks with Fang Tian Hua Ji, shattering the divine diagram piece by piece. “Old madman, old pervert, old incompetent…” Chen Xiao, hiding beneath the divine diagram, kept hurling insults at Hei Yu. Hei Yu was a True Spirit God, a supreme God King—how had he ever endured such insults? He became furious, his power growing stronger with each attack. Meanwhile, Chen Xiao devoted part of his mind to refining the laws of that Greenyue True Spirit God, integrating them into the trace spirit fire in his dantian. Instantly, that trace became thicker, almost as thick as a little finger, resembling a tiny flame that kept moving within Chen Xiao’s dantian.

Slowly, Chen Xiaoshu exhaled in relief. By integrating a complete set of True Spirit Divine Laws, the power of his Origin Path increased once again, and his control over the various forces within his body became even more effortless.
“If I can integrate a few more True Spirit Divine Laws and plan again using my Origin Path, I’ll be able to hide better and avoid being detected by the outside world…”
A glint appeared in Chen Xiaoshu’s eyes. Even now, when he activated his Origin Path, a trace of the unique aura of his Origin Spirit Fire would still leak out. Fortunately, Black Prison was too preoccupied with capturing Chen Xiaoshu to please the Death Lord and didn’t notice it.
“For my own sake, I have no choice but to burden you all…”
A cold light flashed in his eyes. He currently lacked the strength to hunt down a Divine King—even a Ninth-Level Primordial Spirit Divine being would be too strong for him. Last time, it was only because Kunwu held back that Chen Xiaoshu, relying solely on Death Dance, could subdue Huan Er.
Now, Chen Xiaoshu had come up with a plan: to use others as pawns. He would let Black Prison do the killing for him while he seized the laws of the dead Divine Kings and integrated them into his Origin Spirit Fire.
Chen Xiaoshu wasn’t someone who killed recklessly, but when faced with threats to himself, he had no other choice.
Boom!
At that moment, Black Prison’s painted halberd shattered the divine image of that True Spirit Divine being. With another strike, he severely injured it.
“You…”
Blood gushed from the True Spirit Divine being’s mouth as it glared angrily at Black Prison. But Black Prison ignored it and thrust his halberd once more, aiming at Chen Xiaoshu, who was hiding in the void.
Chen Xiaoshu swiftly turned and hid behind the middle-aged Yinwu Divine King. The painted halberd trembled slightly before following after him.
“Annoying guy!” Black Prison’s expression turned cold. The True Spirit Divine Laws within his body surged violently, creating a massive divine domain that sealed off that area.
Immediately afterward, the power of the True Spirit Divine Laws flowed into his painted halberd, which delivered another strike, enveloping Chen Xiaoshu and the Yinwu Divine King.
Pfft!
The Yinwu Divine King was merely at the initial stage of a True Spirit Divine being—how could it withstand Black Prison’s full-power strike from a peak Divine King? In an instant, it was killed before it could even scream. Chen Xiaoshu seized the opportunity to store the Divine King’s corpse in his Main Divine Space.
“Bye-bye, no farewell…”
Chen Xiaoshu’s mocking voice echoed in Black Prison’s mind. The next moment, he had already escaped Black Prison’s divine domain.
His Origin Path had evolved once again, and the power of Heavenly Dragon Walk had increased. The divine domain of the True Spirit Divine beings could no longer trap him.
“Damn it!”
Black Prison cursed inwardly, his anger growing even stronger. Yet he failed to realize that he had already become Chen Xiaoshu’s weapon, killing Divine Kings and seizing their laws for him.
When Black Prison killed the second Divine King, many Divine Kings across the Land of Origins sensed it and appeared one after another.
The Land of Origins was in chaos as countless deities fled in panic. A battle between Divine Kings hadn’t occurred there in countless years.

The Divine Kings have always been the trump cards of various forces. The existence of the ancient ancestors is akin to nuclear weapons on Earth—everyone has them, but they cannot be used lightly. Now, on the Land of Origins, two Divine Kings have suddenly perished, leaving the other Divine Kings restless. This area is already in the central part of the Land of Origins. In an instant, thirty-two True Spirit Gods appeared nearby and immediately surrounded Black Prison. However, most of these Divine Kings were merely lower-level True Spirit Gods, far inferior to Black Prison. “A bunch of insignificant pests—get out of my way!” Black Prison snarled coldly. “Elder, killing innocents like this across the continent surely goes against the will of heaven, doesn’t it?” a Divine King with golden hair and blue eyes spoke up. “Scram! Or I’ll kill you all too!” Surrounded by these thirty-two Divine Kings and anxious about Chen Xiao’s whereabouts, Black Prison had no intention of engaging in further conversation. “Ungrateful wretches—capture him first,” another lower-level True Spirit God said grimly, summoning his True Spirit Divine Weapon to hover above his head. The other thirty-two True Spirit Gods, seeing Black Prison’s disrespectful attitude, took advantage of their numbers and summoned their own True Spirit Divine Weapons, recklessly hurling them at him. “A bunch of ragtag fools,” Black Prison sneered. His painting halberd, like a black dragon, swiped left and right, deflecting those Divine Weapons, before he swung it back and shattered one True Spirit God’s head. This time, Black Prison was utterly enraged. His deathly aura flared brightly as his painting halberd split into nine, transforming into nine celestial dragons that pierced through the space incessantly. Pop! Pop! Pop! In an instant, three more True Spirit Gods were killed by him. Undoubtedly, Black Prison was the strongest among the True Spirit Gods, and those lower-level ones were no match for him at all. Hidden elsewhere, Chen Xiao kept unleashing his Heavenly Dragon Claws, silently collecting the corpses of those True Spirit Gods. Each of their corpses was a vast treasure, containing immense wealth and the divine essence of True Spirit Gods, which held infinite power. At this point, Chen Xiao could have easily grabbed a chair, made himself a cup of coffee, and enjoyed the spectacle at his leisure. As for the remaining twenty-eight True Spirit Gods, seeing four of their companions killed in an instant, they scattered in panic. They had originally gathered on their own to stop Black Prison from killing more, but instead, they ended up sacrificing themselves. They had no intention of staying any longer and simply left. After all, there were still powerful Divine Kings deep in the Land of Origins, and someone like Black Prison would eventually draw them out. Meanwhile, Chen Xiao repeated his tactic, sneaking up on one of the True Spirit Gods and flying away with him. “You kid are quite cunning, trying to make me a public enemy of the Land of Origins? Hmph, but after capturing you, I can return to the Netherworld—that’s my true world!” Black Prison didn’t care about offending the Divine Kings of the Land of Origins; he wasn’t one of them anyway and could leave at any time.

And the Underworld he was in was once a realm that coexisted with the true Divine Realm. Overall, the strength of the Underworld surpassed that of the current Source Continent. However, the Underworld existed in another dimension; it was not a world floating in the universe like the Source Continent, but rather a spatial realm that stood alongside the Divine Realm. Later, when the Divine Realm was devastated, the Underworld also suffered severe blows, but it remained a complete world, an independent space filled with countless ancient entities capable of competing with those of the Divine Realm. What Hei Yu longed for was precisely such a world filled with powerful beings like those in the Underworld. “Since that’s the case, I can take this opportunity to kill some True Spirit Gods and use their laws and divinities to refine myself.” By this point, Hei Yu had been completely stirred by Chen Xiao’s brutality. He acted immediately, targeting the True Spirit God beside Chen Xiao. …
