The liver is a late bloomer!

"Seeing that you are proficient in so many top-tier immortal techniques from other races, I thought you were from a race with Saint Lord-level powerhouses."

"Now it seems that you are just a minor clan prodigy who has had a lucky encounter, and your knowledge is so shallow."

"You actually dare to try to manipulate my Great Dao Divine Power with just a trace of your willpower."

Yu Lichuan raised his hand, and a green bowl-shaped acquired spiritual treasure flew into his hand. Xu Chen's wisp of willpower was drawn into the green bowl by an inexplicable power of the Great Dao.

"Curse, Heavenly Corruption!"

A terrifying corrosive force entered Xu Chen's soul along the causal plane.

Xu Chen's expression was terrifyingly calm, and his eyes were like those of an ancient icy gaze.

"What? You still want to use the Wood Immortal Clan's supernatural powers?" A mocking voice rang out across the battlefield.

"It works great, doesn't it?"

Xu Chen's matter-of-fact voice rang out.

The next second, the sword in his hand slashed a spatial channel in the void, and the terrifying curse power that had penetrated deep into his soul, along with the illusory soul he had just created, was slashed into the River of Treasures.

The illusory soul that Xu Chen had created exploded in the River of Treasures, and along with his own will, it became tainted by all the acquired spiritual treasures in the River of Treasures.

"Sever all thoughts!!"

A long sword, simulated by cause and effect, appeared in the void, severing Yu Lichuan's connection with all acquired spiritual treasures.

The Hundred Treasures River was also stained green by that terrifying curse power.

Yu Lichuan, who had just been mocking Xu Chen, changed his expression, his eyes flashing with anger, and quickly formed hand seals.

"Light, pure path!"

A towering pillar of light suddenly emerged from the center of the Treasure River, which was originally glowing green as if shrouded in poisonous mist, and then spread throughout the entire Treasure River.

Xu Chen's wisp of will was instantly purified upon contact with that light.

Hundreds of acquired spiritual treasures in the River of Treasures once again emitted their precious light.

"You're very good. I thought the battle would end quickly!"

"I never expected you to drag this out until now!"

A terrifying spatial power surged forth from Yu Lichuan, forming one spatial chain after another in the void.

The space where Xu Chen was located was instantly sealed off by these spatial chains.

The Hundred Treasures River behind Yu Lichuan expanded, covering the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.

More than a dozen acquired spiritual treasures flashed their light in the River of Treasures, and suddenly, a soul cage appeared close to the space that had been sealing Xu Chen.

"Spatial soul!" Xu Chen murmured.

Yu Lichuan is a bit more difficult to deal with than Xu Chen had imagined.

"Do you want to reveal your strength?" Xu Chen's calm gaze pierced through the layers of cages as he looked at the furious Yu Lichuan in the distance.

At that moment, Xu Chen was simultaneously bound by soul and spatial chains and dragged into the River of Treasures.

In a strange, white secret realm resembling a soul space, Xu Chen was bound to a cross by several chains.

Yu Lichuan's figure materialized in this space, walking step by step toward Xu Chen.

"This is my Holy Soul Space. Here, I am the god who controls the rules."

"I cultivate two kinds of great divine abilities. One is this hundred rivers containing treasures, and the other is this sacred soul space."

Even with his body bound to the cross, Xu Chen's gaze towards Yu Lichuan remained calm.

"You have already tasted the flavor of my River of Treasures."

"Now I'll show you my Sacred Soul Space."

Yu Lichuan formed a soul seal with one hand, sending out a beam of light that landed between Xu Chen's eyebrows.

"Say what you have to say quickly," Xu Chen said coldly.

"I like your unruly nature now, and I hope you'll still be just as bold after you become my soul slave clone."

Yu Lichuan formed a hand seal, and Xu Chen suddenly felt a seed sprouting in his soul, slowly invading his spirit.

“Although you are not as strong as me, your combat power and supernatural abilities are still enough to rank you in the top 10,000 within my Divine Race. Therefore, you are qualified to become my soul slave avatar.”

"Everything you have will be mine then. I want to see what kind of extraordinary encounter you had to master so many alien immortal techniques." Yu Lichuan became more and more excited as he spoke.

The seed blossomed within Xu Chen's soul, extending countless tiny filaments of light that tightly connected Xu Chen's body and soul.

A different kind of will began to gradually emerge in his soul.

Faced with all this, Xu Chen looked at Yu Lichuan with calm and unwavering eyes.

"Impressive. Even at this point, you can still remain calm. Now I'm becoming more and more interested in your identity." Yu Lichuan looked at Xu Chen with admiration.

"This is your Sacred Soul Space. Do you think those Grand Venerable and Saint Venerable Realm experts watching the battle from the sidelines can observe this place?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"Of course not. This space is under my control and is one of my trump cards. Without my permission, even a Saint Venerable Realm expert cannot bypass my divine soul to detect this place." Having already figured out Xu Chen, Yu Lichuan naturally answered the question.

"Haven't you always wanted to see my true strength?" Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Could it be that you have another trump card?" Yu Lichuan also became excited. The stronger Xu Chen was, the stronger his future clones would be.

"Then you can try it out."

"I command, release!"

An invisible force released Xu Chen from his restraints, and the seed deep within his soul was instantly purified.

"I command, the town!"

A force of the Great Dao pressed down on Yu Lichuan, suppressing his body, soul, and even every trace of his origin.

Yu Lichuan bent his knees, using all his strength to resist the suppressing force, looking at Xu Chen with disbelief.

With a wave of his hand, a battle sword appeared in his hand, and Xu Chen took a step forward, standing in front of Yu Lichuan.

Without saying a word, he swung his sword down.

Meanwhile, in the world of battle...

Xu Chen, who had originally vanished, stepped out of the void, while Yu Lichuan, who was standing in the air, had his soul directly annihilated.

The billions of gamblers below were completely stunned by what they saw!
Not only them, but even the powerful divine senses watching the battle from the sky were shocked.

"Li Chuan actually lost!" an incredulous voice rang out.

"Although it's somewhat unbelievable, the methods of the top geniuses among them are unpredictable, so it's not surprising that they could win." Another divine thought's voice rang out.

"The battle is over!"

A grand sound resounded throughout the entire battle world.

Xu Chen was teleported back to the preparation zone.

Inside a magnificent immortal palace, Xu Chen felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the main seat, sensing that it belonged to at least a Saint Venerable Realm expert.

"Greetings, senior." Xu Chen said respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You're a very clever junior; you're quite interesting."

"Would you like to have another match?" asked the powerful member of the Divine Race who was in the main seat.

"I have gained a lot from this battle, and I may need to go into seclusion for a while after I return."

"If I encounter a bottleneck at that time, I will come here again to find a powerful opponent to break through," Xu Chen replied.

"Right."

A magical treasure box appeared before Xu Chen.

"This is the Great Dao Origin Immortal Realm you deserve, totaling 1.38 billion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

"In another hundred years, the sales of Light and Shadow will yield more than 100 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. Don't forget to come and collect them then."

The powerful member of the Divine Race, seated at the head of the table, looked at Xu Chen without any concern that he would take the Immortal Crystal and never return. "Thank you, Senior!"

Xu Chen gratefully accepted the immortal artifact box containing the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal, then took his leave.

In the temporary cave dwelling, Xu Chen's consciousness returned to his main body, and he suddenly began to gasp for breath.

It felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

Before he could calm himself down, Xu Chen quickly transmitted one billion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals through the Dao Network.

"Spend 10 billion as you please!" Xu Chen sent a message to Da Xu through the Dream Dao Dantian World.

"Really!!" Da Xu asked excitedly after receiving the fairy crystal.

"Of course, buy all the essentials, and you can use the rest as you like! But be quick, after we've bought everything, we'll head home."

As Xu Chen spoke, a wisp of his divine sense entered the Dark Dao Network, where he spent one hundred million immortal crystals to purchase a pitch-black token.

As long as the token is presented in the Star Chart Divine Tower, a Saint Venerable Realm expert can be mobilized to immediately teleport through the tower. This is the upgraded version that Xu Chen had inquired about before.

“Okay, give me ten days,” Da Xu assured him.

"Then you'd better get started quickly."

After doing all this, Xu Chen used the Dream Dao Dantian World to input a trace of Origin Power into his clone at the Divine Tree Academy. This time, the Origin Power was enough for the clone to teach three Saint-grade alchemists.

After doing all this, Xu Chen began to experience a period of agonizingly long days.

These ten days felt longer to Xu Chen than a thousand years of cultivation.

"Isn't it just about embarking on the journey home? My emotions are fluctuating like those of a novice cultivator who has just begun his cultivation journey."

Feeling his nervousness, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Da Xu had already entered the outer realm capital world with all his belongings and was heading towards Xu Chen's cave.

Xu Chen had already finished packing by this time.

There was no notification that Da Xu had appeared in the temporary cave.

"Let's go, get ready to go home!" Da Xu was also extremely excited.

"Alright, let's enter my dream world first."

Xu Chen waved his hand and released a gate formed by purple light. After Da Xu entered, it dissipated.

Xu Chen couldn't wait to leave his temporary cave and head to the nearest teleportation hall, where he was teleported to the outside of the Star Chart Divine Tower.

Just as Xu Chen stepped into the Star Chart Divine Tower, he suddenly felt a familiar aura.

It seemed as if the Seventh Elder was there specifically to wait for Xu Chen.

In the empty hall of the Star Chart Tower, Xu Chen and the Seventh Elder looked at each other.

"Greetings, senior!" Xu Chen bowed.

"Young friend, are you going home?" the Seventh Elder said with a smile, his expression unusually kind.

"To be honest, senior, I am eager to return home."

"But senior need not worry, my Dao clone left at Shenmu Academy is enough to train three Saint-grade alchemists."

"I certainly believe you, young friend."

"It's just that after this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."
.
"My friendship with you has been destined, and as we part, I'm giving you this as a parting gift for your self-defense."

The Seventh Elder took out a Dao Crystal Talisman that shimmered with the aura of the Great Dao.

"There is a clone of mine inside. If I release it, it can withstand an ordinary Grand Venerable Realm expert."

The Great Dao Crystal Talisman slowly floated towards Xu Chen.

"I will not refuse such a generous gift from a senior." Xu Chen graciously accepted the Great Dao Crystal Talisman.

"Then I will see you off, young friend."

Then he led Xu Chen to the core area of ​​the Star Chart Tower.

Throughout the entire process, he acted as if he were Xu Chen's true elder.

Xu Chen arrived at the center of the main hall and handed the token to the Grand Luo Supervisor of the Star Chart Divine Tower who was waiting there.

"Please wait a moment!" Upon seeing the token, the Grand Luo Realm supervisor immediately stood up in surprise.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a massive aura descended upon the main hall of the Star Chart Divine Tower.

All the powerful figures present, including Xu Chen and the Seventh Elder, bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Stand up." The Saintly Venerable Realm expert looked at Xu Chen.

"It's you who wants to be teleported."

"It is indeed this junior." Xu Chen felt a little nervous.

"Then come with me~"

The Saintly Venerable Realm expert waved his hand.

Xu Chen felt the world change, and finally he and the Seventh Elder were teleported to a secret realm that resembled a starry sea.

"Don't move from here."

The Saintly Venerable Realm expert glanced at the Seventh Elder as he spoke, and then left this world together with the Seventh Elder.

At the moment of departure, a wisp of law power trapped Xu Chen, sealing his body, soul, and spirit.

Above this world, a phantom star map of a starry sea appeared.

Xu Chen's coordinates within the Star Chart Tower were slowly deduced.

As the illusory star path of the Great Dao continued to change, gradually, familiar stars began to appear.

After thirty-eight familiar stars appeared, a vast power of the supreme spatial Dao suddenly enveloped Xu Chen and carried him into the deepest part of the void.

Then, just like the previous spatial turbulence teleportation, Xu Chen's figure suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar starry sea.

The wisp of law power that had trapped Xu Chen had not dissipated and was still firmly binding him.

A beam of spiritual light flew out from Xu Chen's spatial magic treasure, transforming into the appearance of the Seventh Elder.

"Young friend, we meet again~" Compared to his previous kind and amiable face, the Seventh Elder's eyes were now filled with greed.

"You think you can just take so many Dao Origin Immortal Crystals from my Divine Clan and leave?"

Trapped, Xu Chen could only stare blankly at the Seventh Elder, whose mind was also sealed off by that wisp of law power.

Although his mind was blocked, Xu Chen could still sense that the power of the law was slowly dissipating.

"I had previously heard that a prodigy from the Nebula Clan had appeared in the arena of the Dark Dao Network, and I took a look out of curiosity."

"I just happened to witness the battle between the Nebula Clan's prodigy and Ye Ying."

"Although you disguised yourself very well, those powerful individuals who have never seen your true form cannot see through your identity at all."

“But I’m different. The primal power you exuded during the battle felt familiar to me.”

The Seventh Elder laughed as he spoke.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for letting me win a lot of fairy crystals in the last game."

Seeing that even Xu Chen's thoughts were trapped, the Seventh Elder gently pointed with his finger.

Xu Chen's thoughts and words were unsealed.

"Senior, please spare my life!"

"I'll give you all the remaining immortal crystals," Xu Chen said, feigning fear. (End of Chapter)
