Chapter 332: The Spirit of the Book World

“It’s ready now…”
Chen Xiao felt the power flowing within him and let out a long sigh.
The Yin-Yang energy emanating from the Main God Entity was undoubtedly a more advanced force than the power of the Main God itself. Moreover, under the influence of the Main God’s laws, this Yin-Yang energy was highly aggressive, even more domineering than the primordial spiritual fire.
Fortunately, this Yin-Yang energy had been cultivated through the Life-and-Death Dual-Kill Technique and was under Chen Xiao’s control, showing no tendency to backfire.
Only then did Chen Xiao breathe a slight sigh of relief.
“It’s a pity that the spirit of the Cycle Sky Map was devoured by the Divine Master. Otherwise, I could have used it to suppress the Book World… But that spirit was merely subdued by force by me; it couldn’t be trusted at all. Its disappearance is a relief.”
Chen Xiao glanced at the Book World floating in the void not far away, his brows slightly furrowing.
This Book World was enormous—larger than the combined size of all the higher worlds. Yet at present, it was under immense suppression, and what appeared in this Main God Space was merely a portal.
The true Book World, like the Main God Space, was hidden throughout the universe, in the infinite void between the Yin and Yang realms. Without this portal, even the Main God could not detect its existence.
Controlling this portal meant possessing the entire Book World.
Currently, this Book World could fully merge with Chen Jianzhou, instantly transforming him into a peak True Spirit God. But Chen Xiao wanted more than that—he intended to use the power of the entire Book World to suppress the Main God Entity before merging Chen Jianzhou with it.
The Book World seemed to be similar to the Main God Space, but far weaker.
Yet that was sufficient.
However, this Book World lacked a spirit. Only with the guidance of such a spirit could its full power be used to suppress the God Entity.
“Chen Xiao, let me take care of it.”
Suddenly, the Divine Master Chai Yunkē appeared beside Chen Xiao. His appearance and demeanor had undergone drastic changes—dressed in a clean white robe, with a calm and confident smile on his face.
But upon closer inspection, Chai Yunkē was merely a spiritual entity, like Shui Miao, without a physical form.
“I have now become a completely free spirit. The Book World is the perfect place for me to dwell. My strength has reached the dominion realm, so protecting your grandfather and helping him cultivate should be no problem.”
Chai Yunkē smiled.
He had already absorbed the Yin-Yang energy and refined the spirit of the Cycle Sky Map, causing his strength to rise rapidly.
In this Main God Space, all rules and laws were under Shui Miao’s control. Here, she could easily speed up time to an incredible degree, allowing Chai Yunkē to refine everything within his body in an instant.
Moreover, the moment Chen Xiao brought the Book World here, Shui Miao and Chai Yunkē had already understood his intentions.
Now, with Chai Yunkē volunteering to become the spirit of the Book World, it provided Chen Xiao with a tremendous advantage.

Previously, what Shui Miao had spoken of as an achievement was not becoming a ruler of achievements, but transcending the realm of the Supreme God to become that supreme existence. Chen Xiao looked into Chai Yunkē’s eyes and slowly nodded. “In that case, Chen Xiao thanks the Divine Master.” Chen Xiao slowly bowed to Chai Yunkē. Chai Yunkē smiled faintly, and in an instant, his entire body turned into a streak of light, flying straight into the portal of the Book World. Boom! The next moment, the gate of the Book World trembled slightly but was immediately brought under Chai Yunkē’s control. Only then did Chen Xiao feel relieved. Now, aside from his grandfather Chen Jianzhou, the people Chen Xiao trusted the most were Shui Miao and Chai Yunkē. In this world, only these two truly knew Chen Xiao’s background—how he had grown from an ordinary boy into an existence comparable to a peak True Spirit God. It could be said that everything he had now came from Shui Miao and Chai Yunkē. If they wanted to take it back, they could do so at any time, and Chen Xiao had no way to stop them. Now, only Chai Yunkē, having become the spirit of the Book World, could he fully trust enough to entrust the Book World to his grandfather. The next moment, Chen Xiao moved and stepped out of the Supreme God’s space, entering the chaos of the outside world. Immediately, a profound sense of weakness and severe dizziness overwhelmed him, nearly causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground. Chen Xiao quickly stabilized himself, sat in meditation within the chaos, and slowly circulated the Yin-Yang energy within his body. That powerful Yin-Yang energy flowed through his meridians, but it still couldn’t counter his current weakness. Just moments ago he had been an incredibly powerful Tyrannosaurus rex, yet now he had become a weak ant—such a stark contrast. If not for Chen Xiao’s strong will, he might have committed suicide right away. “I must use the power of the Supreme God’s space sparingly; it ultimately isn’t mine.” After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiao finally took a slow breath and stood up from the chaos. At this moment, the Yin-Yang energy within his body began to assimilate the vast chaos outside, transforming it into Yin-Yang energy that flowed back into his body. However, the conversion rate was extremely slow, even slower than when he absorbed the vital energy of the world elsewhere. Yet precisely because of this, the chaos no longer posed any threat to Chen Xiao. Ordinary True Spirit Gods, even those powerful ones who had condensed a second True Spirit, dared not come to the chaos lightly, fearing they would get lost. Moreover, there was no spiritual energy in the chaos. Even a peak True Spirit God would suffer severe depletion if they stayed there too long; if they didn’t leave in time, they would lose all their power and be assimilated by the chaos. Only the Supreme God could walk among the chaos. The power of the Supreme God within His divine essence was boundless, so there was no need to worry about exhaustion. And the Supreme God’s powerful will was sufficient to find direction in the chaos, ensuring he wouldn’t get lost. Of course, even the Supreme God wouldn’t dare venture deep into the chaos in search of thrills—deep within lay endless dangers.

“Huh, I really don’t know what exists in this chaos. When I have time, I’ll go explore it.” Chen Xiao looked at the endless chaos, thought for a moment, then turned and left it. He had only come to the edge of the chaos, and before entering, he had set a spatial coordinate outside so he could leave at any time. Moreover, his strength had grown again— the power of Yin and Yang flowing from his main divine essence further strengthened his soul. Now, his divine consciousness was almost on par with that of a True Spirit God, though not yet at the level of a Supreme God. Meanwhile, tremendous changes had taken place in the Netherworld. The emergence of the Book World had caught the attention of several Supreme Gods, who all tried to find the Sub-Book. But from the Sub-Book, they learned that it had been taken by another Supreme God. Now, the Supreme Gods were frantic, desperately searching for Chen Xiao. At this time, Chen Xiao had taken on the guise of Xiao Chen and was unbothered practicing right under their noses. He had completely hidden the aura of his original spiritual flame; even a Supreme God’s divine consciousness couldn’t detect the Water-Fire Taiji diagram hidden in his dantian. It seemed Chen Xiao no longer had any worries. “Rescue Zi Xuan first, then return to the Source Continent and hand over the Book World to Grandpa… Wait, should I go to the Source Continent first and give the Book World to Grandpa…” Chen Xiao’s mind raced with thoughts. On one side was his grandpa, and on the other, his friend since childhood—making it hard for him to decide. “Grandpa is taken care of by the great immortals, and since no Supreme Gods are interfering outside the Source Continent, there should be no problems. I should first try to find out where Xuan is.” Chen Xiao took a deep breath. His body moved silently, hiding all signs of his cultivation level. He was still that genius Xiao Chen who combined all four elements. Of course, his cultivation level was still quite low. Although he was under Zi Xuan’s control, he hadn’t drawn much attention. Zi Xuan had now become a True Spirit God, his status greatly elevated. Moreover, since the gate to the Book World had been taken, he no longer needed to stay there. Now, Zi Xuan had moved his entire force deep into this continent. By reading some records from the Book World, Chen Xiao also learned that although the Netherworld was an enormous world, it wasn’t like the Source Continent, which consisted of just one continent. Above the vast Nether Sea floated countless continents, each as vast and boundless as the central part of the Source Continent. Clearly, the foundation of the Netherworld was even stronger than that of the Source Continent. After all, the Netherworld could rival the Divine Realm, while the Source Continent was merely a substitute after the Divine Realm disappeared. “Should I act even more like a genius now?” Chen Xiao’s mind flickered. Though he was already an all-round genius, his cultivation level was still too low to catch the attention of higher-ups.

Moreover, Chen Xiao is now wanted all over the world. If he rashly rushed to the domain of the King of the Underworld, it would be tantamount to seeking death. Although Chen Xiao could conceal the aura of the primordial spiritual fire within him, he couldn’t escape the detection of the Supreme God’s consciousness. Chen Xiao pulled out that little guy, Xi Xi, then sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly released a trace of his power. In the next moment, he transformed—from a third-tier all-elemental Nether Warrior to a fourth-tier one, then to a fifth-tier one, finally stopping at the peak of the fifth tier. His breakthrough also successfully caught the attention of those around him. “Hm? Xiao Chen, you’ve achieved a breakthrough?” Yuan Ling rushed over upon hearing the news and stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief. He never expected that Chen Xiao would become a fifth-tier Nether Warrior in just a few days. “Um, my lord, the energy here is abundant—far more than ten thousand times that of the outer regions of the continent. I merely used this spiritual energy to advance my level.” Chen Xiao had now changed from his previous cold rogue personality and seemed somewhat naive when it came to taking on missions. “A genius, a genius—an unparalleled genius! With such talent, your future is boundless! Come with me to meet… um…” In the next moment, Yuan Ling fell silent. The small black lump on Chen Xiao’s shoulder, with only one white wing, had also reached the fifth tier. “You don’t need to call me ‘my lord’ anymore. Just call me senior brother. The domain lord has just established himself in this domain and is now seeking followers to rule the world. A talent like you will definitely not be overlooked!” Yuan Ling was quite excited. Deep within this continent, although the spiritual energy was rich, there were also countless strong beings. For someone like him, a cultivator at the ninth level of the domain, stepping outside would be seeking death. The ruler here was a third-tier Primordial Spirit God, and even the creatures here, such as Nether Beasts, possessed the strength of peak Void Gods, while ordinary residents were Void Gods as well. This place was truly a realm of gods. Meanwhile, with Chen Xiao’s help, Zi Shu had already become a seventh-tier Primordial Spirit God and could fully dominate this place and become its overlord. However, his subordinates were still too weak—after all, they were those who had followed him for tens of thousands of years, his true loyalists, his confidants. In the short term, Zi Shu couldn’t cultivate such confidants. His plan was to cultivate steadily here for a hundred years, raising his own strength to that of a True Spirit God, then forcefully enhancing his subordinates’ strength, before quietly expanding his influence across this continent and soaring to greatness. “My lord!” Suddenly, Zi Shu received a message from Yuan Ling. “My lord, that Xiao Chen has already achieved a breakthrough and become a fifth-tier Nether Warrior.” “What?!” Zi Shu was stunned. He had only been here for three days, and in that time, a third-tier Nether Warrior had directly advanced to a fifth-tier one—this was also an unparalleled genius in the history of the Netherworld! “Bring him to see me!”

For Zi Shu right now, the most urgent need is to have powerful subordinates—subordinates who are utterly loyal to him. Xiu Chen seems to be a genius with immense potential. Starting from now, if he is trained for hundreds of years, he will surely become another Yuanling, or even stronger than Yuanling. Yuanling was a practitioner of the ninth realm; although Zi Shu had already shared his Void God laws with him, it was unknown how long it would take him to become a Void God. Moreover, even here, a Void God was nothing more than an insect-like existence. But the appearance of Xiu Chen has given him hope. Advancing two realms in just three days—given a thousand years, he could probably become a Void God, and within ten thousand years, he would surely become a true deity. Even Zi Shu himself couldn’t help but feel excited.
