Chapter 712
A Special Otherworldly Demon
"Can't we go out yet?" Xu Chen frowned.
"Why go out? If we leave the Star Sea Domain, we will face endless demons and chaotic myriad paths. Our origins will be irrecoverable, and even the strongest experts on the Great Dao will perish there."
"However, given Fellow Daoist Xu's talent and combat strength, it's normal to have this feeling."
"I had the same feeling when I first heard the news."
"But I later discovered that the Star Sea is vast and boundless, and I may never reach the level of my clan's God Lord even if I spend my entire life on it," Xie Xuan said leisurely.
"I was worrying unnecessarily."
Although Xu Chen said that, his mind was already racing.
He had not yet fully explored all the supernatural gates in the Holy White Space, especially the supernatural clones within several of them, which clearly did not belong to this Star Sea Region.
The innate treasure-level warship sailed in the border area, occasionally encountering alien demons that had broken through from the border.
Xie Xuan didn't need to lift a finger against ordinary demons; the million-strong army of Great Venerable Realm experts on the ship could easily handle them.
"It's a pity that these alien demons turned into strange power after they died, spreading across the border, so we can't get any spoils of war." Xu Chen sighed as he looked at the Primordial God Clan army cleaning up the battlefield in the distance.
"Not entirely. Let me tell you something that most of the Holy Races don't know."
"When enough alien demons are killed, the Star Sea Domain will bestow rewards, but ordinary alien Saint Venerables and Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts cannot reach this number."
"What kind of rewards will the Star Sea Domain Will offer?" Xu Chen asked curiously.
"Break through the current bottleneck or be blessed with good fortune and encounter many wonderful things in the starry sea."
“One of our clan’s invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts guarded the border region for billions of years, slaying countless alien demons.”
"When he returned to his clan for a trip, he encountered a secret realm. Inside the secret realm were three top-tier innate treasure embryos, each of which was used for his own cultivation of the Great Dao."
"After this extraordinary encounter, not long afterward, he sensed an opportunity to break through to the Great Dao, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed."
"I didn't expect there to be such benefits. However, guarding for billions of years and slaying so many alien demons is something that even an ordinary invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert would find difficult to achieve."
Xu Chen did some mental calculations and, looking at Xie Xuan in front of him, he realized that none of the invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts he knew could guard the border for such a long time.
As the innate treasure warship accelerated, it arrived at an unfamiliar border.
Upon entering, the Primordial God Clan army on the warship felt an aura that made them tremble. Under this aura, the army's combat power was directly reduced by 30%.
A colossal demon, as large as a small world, stood at the edge of this region, surrounded by tens of thousands of Saint-level demons.
These otherworldly demons, in this area, seemed to be worshipping, emanating a unique aura towards the border.
Strange spatial fluctuations spread out along with the aura of those otherworldly demons.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Xu, cover for me!"
The seven-colored divine fire on Xie Xuan's body condensed into a giant sword that floated behind him, and the million-strong army was ready to attack.
"There are quite a few demonic beings at the Saint Venerable Realm here. Let me clear out the smaller monsters for you first, then you can fight them."
Xu Chen decided to stretch his muscles and bones, and a mid-grade innate supreme treasure battle blade appeared in his hand.
With a single step, the body of the Great Dao appeared, and he swung his sword towards the gathered demons.
"Roar!!"
The roar of the largest of the alien demons echoed throughout the star sea.
But he was not Xu Chen's target.
The blade's light, spanning billions of miles, swept across the entire battlefield, annihilating sixty percent of the Saint Venerable Realm demons with a single strike.
At the same time, it was this very strike that caused the largest of the alien demons to reveal a look of terror in its eyes.
"Alright, fellow Daoist, let me handle this!"
"If you strike again, I won't be able to complete my mission!"
Xie Xuan's mission was to personally slay these invincible Saint Venerable Realm demons.
"Fellow Daoist, let's go!"
Xu Chen transformed back into his original form and returned to the innate treasure warship. With a wave of his hand, a tea table appeared, set with tea and snacks.
Seeing this, Xie Xuan's lips twitched, and he took a step and flew towards the battlefield.
The Dharma form, condensed from the seven-colored divine fire, suddenly appeared on the battlefield and began to fight against the largest of the alien demons.
Xu Chen sipped his tea and ate his snacks, occasionally offering his comments.
"Fellow Daoist, you wasted quite a bit of your Origin Power with that sword strike. You could have saved a lot of Origin Power by using the interplay between the real and the illusory."
"Fellow Daoist, that sword strike was excellent; it dealt plenty of damage."
"Fellow Daoist, quickly cut off the three tentacles on his body; this demon's combat power will be reduced by 30%."
The sound echoed across the battlefield, and Xie Xuan fought with increasing ferocity.
Three days later, the demonic entity turned to ashes and disappeared. Xie Xuan, whose source energy had been depleted by more than half, returned to the innate treasure warship.
"Fortunately, this place is close to the border, not the deepest part. Otherwise, we would have to go back to restore our original power."
Xie Xuan took out a specially made Great Dao Divine Source Pill and swallowed it.
A pill box containing a hundred Great Dao Divine Source Pills appeared before Xu Chen.
"These are specially made Great Dao Divine Source Pills, which can quickly restore the original power in the border and surrounding star sea areas."
"I'm sure you'll have many opportunities to come into contact with otherworldly demons in the future, so I'm giving you these pills as a gift," Xie Xuan said sincerely.
"Forehead……"
Xu Chen looked at the pill box in front of him, thought for a moment, and then accepted it.
He had the two Xus refine a lot of these specially made Great Dao Divine Source Pills, which are now gathering dust in their spatial treasures. Now, another box of these dusty pills has appeared.
"Then thank you, fellow Daoist."
In the following period, Xu Chen accompanied Xie Xuan on various missions to slay demons.
It took Xie Xuan 100,000 years to complete all the tasks at hand, and Xu Chen also gained a general understanding of the various invincible Saint Venerable Realm demons in the border region.
Inside a teleportation array of the Primordial Gods.
"Having spent so much time with you, fellow Daoist, I am a little reluctant to part ways today." Xie Xuan looked at Xu Chen and presented the gift he had prepared.
The embryonic form of a superior innate treasure in the Dao of the Blade exudes a chilling blade intent.
"It wasn't until the battle that I noticed you were using a mid-grade innate supreme treasure battle blade."
"I had my clan friends search for a long time before finally finding this embryonic treasure of the Dao of the Sword. Please accept it, fellow Daoist, as a keepsake."
Parting is always sad, and Xie Xuan's tone was full of reluctance.
Looking at the embryonic form of a superior-grade innate treasure of the sword path, Xu Chen accepted it, and then took out a superior-grade innate treasure as well.
“Your divine race has a unique origin. Over the years, based on the characteristics of your seven-colored divine fire, I have crafted an origin power bank for you.”
"When there is nothing to do in daily life, you can input the essence into it, and then extract it when you are in battle."
"If you fill this primal power bank, it will probably give you an extra 80% of primal power."
As Xie Xuan listened to the introduction, his gaze turned to the original power bank, his eyes burning with desire.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu!" Xie Xuan said gratefully.
"I felt an instant connection with Fellow Daoist Xie the moment we met."
“I can see your concern, fellow Daoist.”
"There's still a long time ahead, let's keep in touch." Xu Chen waved and stepped into the teleportation array.
In the human realm, Xu Chen returned to the main branch of the Great Stream Sect.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, humanity has established itself here and is expanding outwards at an alarming rate.
"Greetings, Father!"
Xu Qinhu, Xu Xuanshen, and Xu Daojing excitedly bowed to Xu Chen.
"Why didn't the eldest and second eldest go out?" Xu Chen, in a good mood, smiled.
"The human race has developed too smoothly in this star sea area, and we hardly need to take action."
At this moment, Xu Qinhu had advanced to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm, and the aura emanating from his body was as vast as the sea.
"Humanity has been developing over the years, and I want to wait until things stabilize before going out for a stroll," Xu Xuanshen chuckled.
These are two auras emanating from the void.
Yang Ling'er and Su Yueyao walked out from there.
"Husband!"
"Father, Mother, where are Xiaoyue and the others?" Xu Chen sensed that they were not present in this main world.
"Father has joined the vanguard again, and is now commanding hundreds of millions of troops to wipe out the various alien races in the surrounding area. Mother and my little sister are also following along," Su Yueyao said.
"I see. It's a pity they won't be able to enjoy the good stuff I brought this time right away."
Come on, come on~
Xu Chen waved and led the group into a secret realm.
In the secret realm, the dishes in the sky form a long dragon, dancing in the air.
"This is the grand feast of the culinary arts of the Primordial God Clan. Every dish is exquisite. Come and have a taste!"
A long table appeared before everyone, and a long dragon of dishes in the sky moved around the table one by one.
The group took their seats and began to taste the dishes one by one. With each dish, everyone's faces showed amazement.
While eating and chatting, Xu Daojing talked about the development of the human race in recent years.
"With the Yuanxin Dojo now in use, the number of Saint Venerables and Invincible Saint Venerables among the human race is increasing."
"Currently, the number of Saint Venerable Realm experts among the human race has exceeded one thousand, and the number of Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts has reached thirty."
"As time goes by, there will be more and more strong people among us."
"As expected of a Daoist temple of the highest level that only the gods can possess," Xu Daojing remarked.
"That's not bad, but compared to those gods, we humans still have fewer strong individuals. Fortunately, we can gradually accumulate them."
Xu Chen looked at Xu Qinhu as he spoke.
"You feel like you have nothing to do, that's because it's not the right time yet. Once our human race advances to the level of the gods, we'll have to guard the borders, and then you won't be able to relax even if you want to."
"By the way, you've been with the human race for a while now. Have you ever thought about going beyond the human race's territory to establish another branch?" Xu Chen asked.
"I have this idea, but the human race is developing rapidly and needs manpower right now. It's not the right time to lead a group of humans to open up a branch. I want to wait until things are more stable before going out."
"Go wherever you want. Such a vast starry sea will take countless billions of years to develop."
Over the years, Xu Chen has accompanied Xie Xuan on missions, and his biggest gain has been hearing about the secrets of the Star Sea Domain from time to time.
For example, in the Star Sea region where he is now, the area surrounding the section of the Myriad Rivers of Dao that he is reflecting has not yet been occupied by any powerful beings on the Great Dao.
In this way, the starfield that the human race can develop is hundreds of times larger than Xu Chen had anticipated.
"Really? Then I'll go!" Xu Qinhu's tone was somewhat excited.
"Go ahead, once you're in my private treasury, you can take whatever you need."
"Thank you, Father."
The family enjoyed their meal and chatted for a long time before ending the meal.
Just as Xu Chen was about to go to the main human realm, the Human Emperor suddenly came to his door.
"We discovered the alien demons you mentioned near the border. However, those alien demons were all at the Great Venerable Realm, but on the battlefield, one alien demon could be exchanged for ten of our Great Venerables."
"In order to annihilate this group of alien demons, it took more than a hundred Saint Venerable experts to suppress them."
"According to reports from the vanguard of the reconnaissance, more and more alien demons are beginning to gather in the border region."
“A demon at the Great Venerable Realm. All the demons I saw at the border during those years were at the Saint Venerable Realm. I never expected there to be demons at the Great Venerable Realm.”
Xu Chen directly used the Star Teleportation Technique with one hand to bring the Human Emperor to the battlefield mentioned by the Human Emperor.
The river of time appeared, reversing back to the time of the great war between humans and the alien demons.
Tens of thousands of alien demons swirled around the battlefield. The human race mobilized two hundred thousand Grand Venerable Realm experts to suppress them. Due to their lack of experience in dealing with alien demons, the battle was extremely fierce, with nearly eighty thousand Grand Venerable Realm experts perishing.
Xu Chen casually resurrected all the fallen Grandmasters.
"Could it be that some unknown changes have occurred to the boundary of the Star Sea Domain, allowing even Great Venerable Realm alien demons to break in?"
Xu Chen sensed that a large number of imprints were converging at the boundary.
"Should we summon an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert to suppress this place?" the Human Emperor asked from the side.
"No need for now, I'll go take a look."
As Xu Chen spoke, he took a step forward and flew towards the border.
In a star-sea region shrouded in black mist, millions of Great Venerable Realm demons gathered, their peculiar aura seemingly polluting this star-sea region.
"Not a single Saint Venerable Realm Demon?"
Xu Chen hid in the void, patiently observing this scene.
As more and more Great Venerable Realm demons gathered here from the border region, their numbers reached a certain limit.
Numerous demons formed a strange array, and then a spatial power different from that of the Star Sea Domain spread out and reached the border area.
A colossal demon, exuding an aura of invincible Saint Venerable, slowly emerged from the teleportation array.
As the entire body of the Otherworldly Demon appeared, the surrounding Great Venerable Realm Otherworldly Demons seemed to be drained dry, all turning into black mist and disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, the Blade of Time appeared in Xu Chen's hand, and with one strike, he killed the invincible Saint Venerable Realm demon.
The enormous demon stared in astonishment and terror at its severed body and its ever-decreasing power.
As the demonic entity dissipated into black mist, a feeling of sudden enlightenment welled up in Xu Chen's heart.
At this moment, Xu Chen suddenly felt that the great Dao he had not yet comprehended had suddenly become simple, and he felt that he could comprehend it with just a thought.
"You'll be blessed just for slaying this demon?"
The black mist that permeated this starry sea area slowly drifted towards the boundary region.
"What's so special about this demon?"
Xu Chen took out a special innate communication treasure used to contact Xie Xuan.
The information was transmitted to Xie Xuan through the void stations that spanned the entire star sea.
Not long after, Xu Chen received the message.
"These special demonic beings all come to the Star Sea Domain with some purpose, mostly to shield themselves from the Star Sea Domain's will. Killing them will grant you the Star Sea Domain's blessing." (End of Chapter)
