Chapter 709
You Can't Kill Me
'Boom~~'
Xu Chen's Dao body once again exploded into a sky full of blood mist.
The River of Time in the void rippled slightly, and Xu Chen stepped out from it.
However, Xu Chen's resurrection this time is different from the past. He has used time, fate, cause and effect, and the great immortal's words to completely transform this star sea area into his dream world.
He is the Lord of the Dream Realm, controlling the Great Dao Laws within this Star Sea Region.
Sensing Xu Chen's change, Tai Chu's expression turned one of intense anger.
"If you're so capable, fight me in your real form!"
Enraged, Tai Chu unleashed the immense power of his own Great Dao, attempting to shatter the dream-like Dao field.
"Enjoy it. Although those above the Great Dao are powerful, I can still handle someone like you who has fought your way up to the Great Dao."
The violent shockwave from the Primordial Self-Destruction nearly shattered the Dream Realm battlefield that Xu Chen had just set up.
After the self-destruction, a mysterious power was born from the depths of the void, and Tai Chu's figure emerged from the Dream River, his strength restored to its peak.
"Senior, come on, let's continue!"
In the clash between the power of the Great Dao and the power above the Great Dao, Xu Chen was at a disadvantage from beginning to end.
The body of the Great Dao constantly collapsed, yet it continuously emerged from the river of time.
However, each time Xu Chen died, he left a trace of mysterious time power in Tai Chu's body.
The battlefield was a chaotic mass, where all the laws of the Great Dao had merged into one.
Having died countless times, Xu Chenmeng's Dao body once again emerged from the river of time.
Meanwhile, on another side of the battlefield, Xu Chen sipped his tea and quietly watched the battle unfold.
Hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years...
On the battlefield, both sides fought tirelessly.
On the Great Dao, one's realm is no longer determined by one's own origin. All these methods seem to consume one's origin, but each time Taichu revives, he can return to his peak state. The only thing that remains unchanged is the power of time that Xu Chen left in his body.
Thirty-eight million years later, Xu Chen's body collapsed once again, and his Dream Dao Body emerged from the River of Time once more.
This time, however, the Dream Dao Body did not make a move; Xu Chen's true body emerged from the deepest part of the Dream Dao Realm.
Tai Chu also stopped attacking, looking at Xu Chen with a complicated expression.
"I told you, you can't kill me!"
"Having fought with you for so long, and hearing those words again, I realize you were right," Xu Chen said calmly.
But~
The vast and profound power of time within Tai Chu suddenly exploded, and the battlefield began to slowly shrink.
Time, space, cause and effect, destiny, seal, the path of dreams, the path of illusion...
Several great powers combined to seal this space and the primordial energy within it, transforming it into a crystal ball that fell into Xu Chen's hands.
The crystal ball resembled a microcosm, within which the powerful Taichu, a being on the Great Dao, was still battling Xu Chen's dream avatar.
"It doesn't matter if I can't kill you, the important thing is that you are under my control. As long as I find the right position, I have no less than ten ways to eliminate you!"
As Xu Chen spoke, he sealed the crystal ball within his own Dao body.
Looking at the star-sea battlefield around him, which was almost merging with the void, Xu Chen sighed slightly.
"It's a great revenge, isn't it?"
Xu Chen formed a hand seal, and a long river of time appeared.
As time reversed, Xu Chen was frozen at the moment when Xu Qinhu's true spirit appeared.
By bringing the true spirit out of the river of time, Xu Chen casually used the true spirit to revive his eldest son.
Using the great power of the Great Dao of Life, a perfect human body was condensed, and Xu Qinhu's true spirit was released back into the River of Myriad Daos. Within the River of Myriad Daos, the true spirit produced a trace of the origin of the soul.
Xu Chen shot it out and put it into the body of this creature.
When Xu Qinhu was revived in this body, he seemed to be in a blank state. Only as his memories returned did his eyes gradually regain their sparkle.
"Father!" Xu Qinhu was startled when he saw Xu Chen.
"Thank you for your trouble, Father."
Upon seeing Xu Chen, Xu Qinhu understood what kind of enemy his father had defeated to revive him.
"You're my son, so I'll have to go to the trouble of saving you." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.
"Alright, your wife and son have been waiting for this for years."
"Wait for me to return to the human realm~"
A portal appeared behind Xu Chen.
After Xu Chen returned to the Great Stream Sect's main realm, he informed all the human race's powerful members about his victory over the powerful figures on the Great Dao of the Primordial Holy Land.
We won!
"Really won!"
Many powerful human beings gathered together, looking at the miniature world in Xu Chen's hand.
In that world, the Primordial Being, trapped in the cycle of time, was constantly fighting against Xu Chen's dream avatar.
“I was too presumptuous before. Under normal circumstances, the strong on the Great Dao are eternally immortal in the Star Sea Domain. With my current abilities, I can only seal it in this cycle of time,” Xu Chen said, looking at the many powerful figures.
"That's enough. As you grow stronger, you'll eventually be able to truly kill it!"
The Emperor gazed at the Primordial World within the Crystal World, his expression filled with complex emotions.
"Now that the Primordial Holy Land has emerged, our human race no longer needs to live under the roof of others and be confined to this territory."
As Xu Chen spoke, he waved his hand and released a beam of light, on which a series of coordinates were displayed.
On the star-sea map, those coordinates mark a star-sea region with extremely rich resources.
"Without having to worry about that old man's sneak attacks anymore, our human race can develop greatly."
"The star sea area where the branch was destroyed can still be used, as well as the star sea area where the main world of all races used to be located. Although it is somewhat desolate now, its spiritual energy is slowly recovering. It is not qualified to be the main branch, but it is more than enough to be a branch."
"Also, here it is~"
Xu Chen pointed to the starry sea at the coordinates.
"The myriad rivers of this star sea are controlled by a fallen expert on the Great Dao. Now there are no more experts on the Great Dao in this area, so our human race can make it our main development ground."
As Xu Chen introduced the situation, many powerful human beings, especially the Human Emperor, had their eyes light up.
In this remote starfield, the human race has reached its peak and has remained at this peak for hundreds of millions of years without significant development, which makes many of the human race's powerful figures feel very frustrated.
Therefore, many powerful human beings followed those emperors to expand their territories.
"There are still several powerful Saint Clan members in this Star Sea. Unless I encounter someone with exceptionally high combat strength, I will not take action unless absolutely necessary."
Most of the human race's newly promoted Invincible Saint Venerables have only reached that level. In terms of combat power, they are far inferior to those who fought their way up from the bottom and fought against the surrounding great clans and saints to become Invincible Saint Venerables.
"Even if you hadn't said anything, I was already planning to do the same."
"Humanity has enjoyed peace for so many years; it's time to expand our territory and engage in some battles," the Human Emperor nodded and said. "Later, I will have my clone connect the teleportation arrays between the two locations to facilitate the human race's migration."
After discussing the details with many powerful members of the human race, Xu Chen took his leave and went to his landlord's place in this star sea area.
Inside a magnificent temple.
A languid figure sat in the main seat, gently stroking the Nine Saints Cat in his arms.
Upon seeing Xu Chen arrive, the Nine Sacred Cat meowed softly, left the figure's embrace, entered the hall, and pounced into Xu Chen's arms.
"I watched that battle. It was spectacular, absolutely spectacular."
"It's pretty much as I imagined. For an Invincible Saint Venerable to suppress a powerful figure on the Great Dao, the only way is to rely on time, slowly wear them down, and finally seal them away."
“In the entire Star Sea region, there are not many beings I know of who could accomplish such a feat as yours.”
"From this, it can be foreseen that when you advance to the Great Dao, you will definitely be one of the strongest among them."
"They are not like me, ordinary people, who can be compared to those on the Great Dao."
"It's just a pity..."
Xu Chen listened to the landlord's words in silence for a while before slowly speaking.
"Thank you for taking care of my human race all these years. Now that our great revenge has been taken, it is time for my human race to leave."
"That area of the star sea is allocated to your human race. You don't all have to leave. You can keep it as a branch in the future."
"I'm not a petty person."
A blurry figure rose from the main seat and walked towards Xu Chen.
"You came to see me because there's something else you want to ask me?"
The blurry figure stretched out a finger and gently tapped the air. Instantly, a crystal appeared—the very one that sealed the Primordial Beginning.
At this moment, in the microscopic world within the crystal, Tai Chu was still fighting against Xu Chen's dream avatar.
"At this level of the Great Dao, those who advance through unorthodox methods may be lucky enough to increase their strength in the future, gain control over a section of the Myriad Daos River, and live a peaceful life for a while."
"But as time goes on, the tasks assigned by the Star Sea Domain's will become increasingly difficult, and it will eventually perish at a certain stage. Its body, its path, and everything it possesses will then give back to the Star Sea Domain."
"If you can't defeat him, he might perish on his own after some time." The figure looked at the crystal ball, reminiscing about the time when she had just advanced to the level of a powerful expert above the Great Dao.
"Is the border really that dangerous?" Xu Chen couldn't help but say.
"If one is not careful, even the strongest on the Great Dao will perish here."
The figure waved gently, and the crystal ball floated in front of Xu Chen.
"I bet you're thinking of all sorts of ways to kill him right now."
"It's best not to use the methods you're thinking of, because if you do, his task will fall into your hands."
One sentence instantly perked Xu Chen up.
"If he remains sealed, what will happen when the Star Sea Domain keeps sending him on missions?"
"The will of the Star Sea may forcibly break the seal and banish him to the border region."
"There is another possibility: to buy him from you, and from then on, your enemy will be forever guarding the border region, never to return, until he falls in battle against the plague demon."
"This can still be sold!" Xu Chen exclaimed in shock.
"The Star Sea Domain's will will not interfere with the cause-and-effect grudges between you two, but it will not let go of this fighting force on the Great Dao."
"It's called a sale, but it's actually a form of compensation."
"What can be compensated for?" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.
"Top-tier innate treasures, as for the Xuanhuang treasures, don't even dream about it."
"I have been a powerful figure on the Great Dao for so many eons, yet I still do not possess a single Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure," the figure said leisurely.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's expression shifted.
"I know the location of a supreme treasure of the Xuanhuang realm, called the Myriad Dao Stele, which controls a vast territory..."
Before Xu Chen could finish speaking, the blurry figure waved his hand to stop him.
"Don't drag me down with you if you want to die. Any Xuanhuang treasure that can be openly seen in the Star Sea Domain is off-limits."
"Moreover, I know about that Xuanhuang treasure you mentioned. Its owner is no weaker than the one behind you."
After the figure finished speaking, seeing Xu Chen's shocked expression, the face hidden in the mist seemed to chuckle softly.
"Although you can seal away powerful beings on the Great Dao now, this is only due to favorable timing, location, and human factors."
"If you encounter a powerful expert who has advanced to the Great Dao through orthodox means, your limited cultivation in a short time is simply not enough to compete with him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen bowed to the figure.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave. The mark on your body will disappear automatically after you leave."
"There's still a long time ahead. If you ever manage to break free from the control and reach the Great Dao, perhaps we can become friends."
After the voice finished speaking, it gently waved its hand, and a gentle force enveloped Xu Chen as he entered the void.
By the time Xu Chen came to his senses, he had already appeared outside the human race's territory.
"The water in the Star Sea is getting deeper and deeper," Xu Chen said leisurely.
Inside the cave dwelling of Da Xu and Er Xu, the two were studying the time-sealing crystal that Xu Chen had given them.
Within the crystal world, Tai Chu seemed somewhat insane, screaming hysterically.
"It's such a pity we can't kill him!"
"And you can't even get the parts out, so the seal is just for nothing!" Da Xu looked at the Primordial Beginning in the crystal, his eyes filled with longing.
"There's nothing I can do. The experts on the Great Dao are far stronger than I imagined. Sealing them is the best I can do."
"Therefore, when it's his turn to carry out a mission in the future, we will have no choice but to sell him to the Star Sea Domain Will."
Xu Chen sighed and gently waved his hand, and a treasure world appeared before the two of them.
Most of the treasures were taken from Tai Chu.
"So-so. There's only one top-tier innate treasure. The remaining valuable ones are the five high-grade treasure embryos, which can't be refined into any really good innate treasures." Da Xu just glanced at them.
"It's quite impressive that we have this many people, considering we haven't been at the Great Dao level for very long."
"By the way, the human race needs to relocate. I'll use a spatial gate to connect the two worlds. You can build a few large teleportation arrays for the relocation," Xu Chen said, getting down to business.
“That’s easy, just build a portal. Teleportation arrays are too troublesome.” Da Xu continued looking at the time crystal without turning his head.
"As long as you understand, that's fine," Xu Chen nodded gently.
A top-grade innate treasure flying boat sails on the myriad rivers, propelled by the power of the stars, and its speed has reached its limit.
Millions of years later, in a star-sea region near the border, the void suddenly trembled, and a magnificent innate treasure flying ship flew out from it.
"It's so far, but we've finally arrived."
Xu Chen stood at the bow of the ship, sensing the starry sea around him. (End of Chapter)
