The liver is a late bloomer!

A mid-grade innate supreme treasure battle sword, formed from solar crystals, appeared before Xie Xuan.

Sensing the aura of the treasure, Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that you are truly wealthy, fellow Daoist, to be able to bring out such a high-quality innate treasure."

"Regardless of the outcome of this bet, I have actually benefited from it, fellow Daoist."

“Each seeks what they need. Fellow Daoist’s Dream Dao Innate Treasure Embryo is also very important to me.”

None of the mid-grade or high-grade innate treasure embryos that Xu Chen possessed were Dream Dao types; he had finally encountered one today.

"Without further ado, see you in the Chaos Realm!"

As they talked, they each returned to their respective cave dwellings, and their divine senses entered the Chaos Realm.

Within the Chaos Realm, in a vast battle world, Xu Chen and Xie Xuan appeared.

"The great divine power you learned in the last strike that killed me must be related to that person. With such a divine power, I feel it's no problem for you to claim that you are invincible among those of the same realm."

The seven-colored divine fire burning around Xie Xuan slowly condensed into a specially made battle sword in his hand. The battle sword was covered with many Daoist characters that even Xu Chen could not understand.

Xu Chen flicked his hand lightly, and a mid-grade innate treasure longsword appeared in his hand.

With a cold, gleaming light, and a gentle wave, its blade intent seeped into the deep void.

"Battle begins!"

A voice, seemingly as profound as the Great Dao, resounded throughout this battle realm.

In an instant, swords clashed and all paths went dark.

The entire battle world has been completely merged into one under the influence of this battle fluctuation.

Xu Chen's fighting spirit soared, and he unleashed all the sword techniques he had previously deduced with his sword.

Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Great Sun and the Dark Moon, cause and effect, space, time, and the Great Dao he cultivated all transformed into the power of Xu Chen's sword path, burning to resist the seven-colored giant sword in Xie Xuan's hand.

In the purest form of combat, both sides unleash their full fighting potential.

The seven-colored giant sword slashed a rainbow through the void.

Xu Chen's figure vanished within the rainbow, only to emerge again in another long river woven with time and life.

The battle blade flashed, merging space and time into one, and slashed directly into Xie Xuan's body.

Xie Xuan transformed into a seven-colored divine fire, scattering into countless starlight, which then condensed again in the void.

This battle lasted for 8000 years. In the end, neither side could gain the upper hand and they could only rely on their own inherent strength to hold on.

Xu Chen emerged from the river of time and life once again. The aura of the Great Dao around him was much dimmer than in his prime, but his fighting spirit remained high.

At the edge of the battlefield, a seven-colored rainbow appeared, and Xie Xuan, whose body was engulfed in seven-colored divine fire, emerged from it.

However, the seven-colored divine fire that was burning was less than five-tenths of its former glory.

By this point in the game, the outcome was already decided.

Xie Xuan looked at Xu Chen with a probing gaze.

"Something's wrong, nine out of ten is wrong!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu's combat strength, the supernatural abilities he has comprehended, and the profound foundation of the Great Dao he has displayed are something that even the gods could not cultivate."

Xie Xuan once again brandished his seven-colored giant sword and charged towards Xu Chen.

"Existence is its own justification; fellow Daoist, you are attached to appearances!"

The two sides clashed again.

Three thousand years later, Xu Chen exhausted Xie Xuan's last trace of his essence and won the battle.

"That was a really exciting battle!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have benefited greatly from this battle."

"Here you go, mid-grade innate treasure embryo from the Dream Path!"

"Since the Great Dao has sent a message, I will not chat with Fellow Daoist Xu any longer."

The embryo of the Dream Dao Innate Treasure traversed the void and appeared in front of Xu Chen. After Xie Xuan finished speaking, it fell into his hands.

"In this battle, I was truly just there to keep you company~" Xu Chen said with a pout.

Although he enjoyed the battle, it didn't help him much in comprehending the Great Dao, because he couldn't understand the Seven-Colored Divine Fire.

"However, after fighting for nearly ten thousand years, the pent-up energy in my body has completely dissipated."

"After a little preparation, we can continue our cultivation."

Xu Chen then arrived at the best restaurant in the city, ordered a large meal, and began to enjoy it.

Inside the Mingxuan Dojo, the Chaos God Clan leader, beaming with smiles, led Xu Chen into the original dojo.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm within the Daoist Temple? My Daoist Temple will send its top Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts to protect you," the Chaos God Clan leader asked.

"Thank you for your concern, senior, but it's no trouble," Xu Chen said with a smile, as he planned to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm within the human race's territory.

"Then I won't disturb your cultivation."

The Chaos God Clan leader stepped down.

After the Daoist temple closed, Xu Chen calmed his mind and focused his energy, intending to try this seclusion to sublimate all the remaining Great Dao.

"This time, let's start with the path of poison."

The Great Dao has no time, but cultivators bear the marks of time.

One hundred and thirty million years later, the gates of the dojo where Xu Chen resided opened.

Xu Chen, exuding a rich aura, emerged from the crowd and began to wander around the outer perimeter of the Chaos God Clan. During this time, he spent ten million years reuniting the former Youque Army and serving another military service, while also collecting a large amount of alien demon crystal ore.

On the day Xu Chen retired, his adjutant Sun Ba looked at him with reluctance.

"Commander, if it weren't for the clan's rules, I would really want to follow you!" Sun Ba's eyes were filled with tears. Over the years, he had been in the Divine Army and had served under several commanders.

But no matter which military leader he was, none of them gave him as much security as Xu Chen, nor did they earn him as many military merits.

"You've been in the Divine Army all these years, you must have accumulated enough military merits, why are you still working so hard?" Xu Chen asked curiously as they parted.

"A prodigy has emerged in the family, so the family entrusted me to earn some resources for him here. Once he advances to the peak of the Saint Venerable realm, he will come to the outer perimeter to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm together." Sun Ba said with a smile on his face.

I hope your efforts will be rewarded!

As Xu Chen spoke, he left the Divine Army's encampment and teleported to the outer main city of the Chaos God Clan's Order Faction.

Inside the Mingxuan Dojo, Xu Chen easily returned to his original dojo and entered to continue his seclusion.

Fifty million years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the dojo, Xu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. All 108 Great Daos had been sublimated, and the Great Dao Body he had condensed was as perfect as ever, carrying his strongest Great Dao foundation.

"The Saint Venerable's advancement to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm is truly swift!"

The "fast" that Xu Chen was referring to was not the time span, but the feeling.

In the past, when my cultivation level was not high, I might go into seclusion hundreds of times and still not be able to advance by even one level.

During his time as a Saint Venerable, he has gone into seclusion less than ten times and has already sublimated 108 Great Daos, making him ready to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm at any time.

"Make one more deal before going home, and once you get home, you will advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm."

As Xu Chen spoke, he entered the Chaos Realm with his divine sense and sent a message to Xie Xuan.

Inside a restaurant, Xie Xuan savored the many delicacies of the treasure hotel that Xu Chen had discovered, his expression one of great satisfaction.

"The pleasures of the palate are a great enjoyment during leisure time in the cultivation journey."

"I didn't expect you to be a fellow Daoist as well."

"I'm glad you like it, fellow Daoist. When I go to the Primordial God Clan in the future, I hope to be able to taste the delicacies of the nobility." Xu Chen said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"My clan's cuisine is just so-so in my eyes, but the food made by the powerful clans that are affiliated with my clan is extremely delicious. Please try it then." Xu Chen and Xie Xuan are both seasoned gourmets, and they finished eating tens of thousands of dishes in just half a day.

"Speak, what brings you here this time?" Xie Xuan asked, sipping his spiritual tea.

"I wonder if nobles buy exotic magic crystal ore~"

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Xie Xuan immediately put down his teacup, looked at Xu Chen solemnly, and the seven-colored divine fire behind him enveloped the tea room.

"Yes, of course I'll accept it!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that my race is much stronger than the Chaos Gods; we still lack this thing."

“Our tribe’s annual border defense needs are not enough for this product, so we collect as much as we can.”

"As for the price, it will definitely be more than what the Chaos Gods acquired."

"I have already shielded this tea room, thank you, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so nervous." Xu Chen smiled as he looked at the seven-colored divine fire enveloping the room.

"Whether you exchange for the Great Dao Divine Source or my clan's contribution points is fine. Contribution points can be used to exchange for anything you want in my clan's treasury," Xie Xuan said.

“The Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure is also acceptable.” Xu Chen’s eyes lit up.

"Don't joke around, at most you can only exchange for top-tier innate treasures or embryos."

"The Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure is a clan-protecting item in any divine race, and it cannot be exchanged," Xie Xuan explained to Xu Chen with a strange look in his eyes.

"That's enough~"

Xu Chen took out a spatial magic treasure and tossed it to Xie Xuan.

After examining the area with his divine sense, Xie Xuan gasped in shock.

"Such a pure mineral vein, yet the Chaos Gods did not discover it within the boundaries they adhere to."

"Okay, okay! Okay!!!"

"What do you want to exchange for?" Xie Xuan's face showed excitement. He could imagine how much influence he would have after bringing so many alien demon crystals back to the Origin God Clan.

"Cause and effect, destiny, curse, life—exchange these four top-grade innate treasure embryos," Xu Chen said. These were all preparations he would make after advancing to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm.

"Yes, but the transaction must take place in my race's Void Station."

“I will now take you to my clan’s Void Station. You wait there while I return to my clan to retrieve these four top-grade innate treasure embryos for you.”

Xie Xuan took Xu Chen directly to the largest teleportation array on the outer perimeter, using his special privileges to teleport Xu Chen directly to the nearest void station.

When Xu Chen was teleported over, he saw many Primordial Gods with various colored flames burning around them.

"I thought your clan was all burning with seven-colored divine fire~" Xu Chen couldn't help but retort.

"This is a manifestation of cultivating our clan's original divine power to the highest level."

Xie Xuan looked at the many Primordial Gods who were bowing to him in the void, instructed them to take care of Xu Chen, and then walked into the teleportation array.

Xu Chen was invited to a tea room to enjoy tea and sample the special snacks of the Primordial God Clan.

Half a day later, Xie Xuan returned excitedly and handed over four top-grade innate treasure embryos to Xu Chen.

"You look like you've hit the jackpot, which makes me feel like I'm the one who lost out." Xu Chen said to Xie Xuan after examining the four innate treasures he was wearing.

"I definitely benefited, but you didn't lose out by getting these four top-grade innate treasure embryos either."

"Also~"

Xie Xuan took out a token burning with seven-colored divine fire and handed it to Xu Chen.

"This token represents the friendship of our race. You will receive a 6% discount when using the teleportation array within our race's void station in the future."

"It's only 6% off, can't it be free?"

"Free? If you teleport back and forth between the two most distant void stations three times, its value is equivalent to a top-grade innate treasure."

“A 6% discount is already the highest level of authority our clan can grant,” Xie Xuan couldn’t help but say.

"Okay~"

Xu Chen put away the token symbolizing the friendship of the Primordial Gods and prepared to leave the Void Station and return to the Human Race.

"I think you're about to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm."

"After advancing, would you be interested in another match?" Xie Xuan asked.

"Then the prize money should be raised a bit. How about a top-grade innate treasure embryo?" Xu Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Xie Xuan who was still unwilling to give up, feeling that this guy should be renamed Treasure-Giving Boy.

"No stakes, just a friendly competition~"

“That won’t do. I can’t comprehend the divine fire of your clan. Last time, I fought you for nearly ten thousand years, which was a complete loss,” Xu Chen shook his head and refused.

"Then... what about a mid-grade innate supreme treasure?"

"Giving it away for free would be acceptable."

Xu Chen thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then bid farewell and left.

After leaving the Primordial God Clan's Void Station, Xu Chen used the Star Teleportation Pillar to teleport to an unfamiliar star sea region.

A spatial portal slowly opened in front of Xu Chen.

"Finally going home~"

Stepping through the spatial gate, Xu Chen arrived outside the Dao Gate Domain.

A residual destructive power from the Great Dao permeated the Dao Gate Star Sea Domain.

What came into Xu Chen's view was that the entire Daoist Domain had been reduced to ruins.

"This place has been discovered too!"

Xu Chen's eyes, which had been calm, flashed with endless killing intent.

Then another spatial gate was opened, leading them into the main star sea region of the human race.

The moment Xu Chen appeared, numerous powerful human beings who sensed his aura descended from the void.

"Father, mother."

"Yueyao, little sister."

As Xu Chen spoke, he looked at his two older sons.

With tears in their eyes, Xu Xuanshen and Xu Daojing bowed to Xu Chen.

"Thirty-seven million years ago, the one from the Primordial Holy Land who was seeking cause and effect found the Dao Gate Domain and destroyed it completely."

"It's fortunate that you left behind the Human Race Holy Soul Hall, so that the powerful figures and common people who fell in the Dao Gate Domain can still be resurrected?" The Human Emperor looked at Xu Chen, whose face was full of killing intent, with some guilt.

"I'll remember this grudge for now, and I'll get my revenge on him sooner or later."

Xu Chen looked at the many powerful humans and his family and friends who came to greet him, waved his hand gently, and led them directly into the Dream Realm, recounting his experiences within the Chaos God Clan over the years.

When they saw the army of Chaos Gods, they were all stunned.

An army composed of Saintly Venerable level experts was something they couldn't have imagined before.

Upon seeing the enemy facing these massive armies, many of the human warriors fell silent once more.

"Only by becoming a vassal of the gods, or by becoming a god, will the Star Sea assign tasks to guard the borders."

"We're too far from that, but we can start planning."

Xu Chen then displayed the delicacies he had collected over the years.

Inside Xu Chen's cave in the main realm of the Great Stream Sect, Xu Daojing explained in detail to Xu Chen the events that had occurred in the human race over the years.

“Father, in the years since you left, although our human race has developed rapidly, without the Origin Heart Dojo, the number of Saint Venerables and Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts has also decreased.”

"During your absence, only one Invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert and four Saint Venerable Realm experts appeared." (End of Chapter)
