Chapter 716
Vulnerability
Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen looked at the thousands of supernatural sects and, with a thought, first categorized the supernatural sects he had already visited together.
The remaining unvisited spatial portals were arranged in front of Xu Chen.
"Most of them are great Dao supernatural powers, which are only given for comprehension, but there is no time to enter the comprehension period."
I don't know if I'll ever meet him.
Xu Chen said that they had arrived at the nearest teleportation portal.
The Great Sun Nine Realms was a divine power that Xu Chen had learned, but he only used it once in battle after mastering it.
First, he slowly pushed open the door using spatial power, and Xu Chen sensed the aura behind the spatial door.
"It's a bit messy, most likely within the Star Sea region, but we can take a look."
Xu Chen entered and found himself in an unfamiliar star field.
This unfamiliar star field, imbued with an even more profound aura of the Great Dao, slightly excited Xu Chen.
His divine sense swept across the surrounding area and discovered that this star field had been occupied by a technologically advanced race.
When Xu Chen's divine sense swept over this holy city of a technological race...
A steel star gate suddenly appeared from the void, and a strangely shaped mechanical giant, tens of thousands of feet tall, stepped out from it.
"Heretics, die!"
Hundreds of special machines flew out from the mechanical giant's body, sealing off the surrounding star sea.
A large array of ripples, distinct from those in the Star Sea Domain, locked onto Xu Chen.
Xu Chen did not make a move, but simply watched the mechanical giant quietly. Among the mechanical giant was a frail alien creature who had only reached the Golden Immortal realm.
Protected by this mechanical giant, space, time, fate, curses, and no other great path could penetrate the inner shell protecting that race.
"That's really peculiar!"
Xu Chen reached into the void, and when he withdrew his hand from the void, the alien race, who was only at the Golden Immortal realm, was grabbed by the neck and pulled back.
Directly search the soul to uncover all its memories, and then use the power of fate to comprehend this star field.
"Hey~"
"It turns out it's still in the Star Sea region, just separated."
"This star sea region is mostly inhabited by technologically advanced races, which are strong in some ways and weak in others."
A top-grade innate treasure warship appeared in the star sea, resembling a massive continent.
Then, an army of 100,000 Saint Venerable Realm puppets flew out and wreaked havoc on the surrounding star sea.
Just as Xu Chen was preparing to absorb the essence of the various races in the surrounding technological heavenly path, he suddenly received a warning from the will of the star sea domain.
An irresistible force banished Xu Chen.
After a different kind of long river swept past his eyes, Xu Chen returned to the star sea region he was familiar with.
"Keep exploring~"
Xu Chen looked toward the second spatial gate, pushed it open with spatial power, and began to probe the aura of the star sea region there.
As they explored each portal, they discovered that the worlds behind them were all Star Sea Domains. Even if they differed from the Star Sea Domains he described, they were merely isolated from the will of the Star Sea Domains.
After exploring a thousand spatial portals, Xu Chen sat cross-legged inside the Holy White Space.
"I never imagined that the will of the Star Sea Domain would cultivate so many races that are different from the Three Thousand Great Daos."
"Technology, life, spirit, soul..."
"It's just that these adjacent star seas, even when developed to their limit, cannot produce combat power at the level of the Great Dao."
The thousand supernatural gates he had been investigating had shifted to other directions.
"Continue, but unfortunately, the Chaos Gate of that side path cannot open the space."
Xu Chen began exploring again, but this time at a much faster pace.
It didn't take long for Xu Chen to determine whether the space gate led to the Star Sea region where they were located.
Outside one of the supernatural spatial portals, Xu Chen withdrew his divine sense and looked toward the next supernatural spatial portal.
"Ascension in the Three Thousand Realms"
Looking at this unused Great Dao Divine Power, Xu Chen simply pushed open the Divine Power Space Gate.
Suddenly, a chaotic aura mixed with an unfamiliar Dao emanated from the crack in the divine power space gate.
Xu Chen's spirits lifted, and he immediately cast several layers of protective magic on himself before putting on a full set of mid-grade innate supreme treasure armor.
Only after making thorough preparations did he push open the portal to the supernatural space and enter.
Upon entering, Xu Chen sensed a vibrant life force, a force that was in the process of evolving and transforming, a force that was not yet fully formed.
Sensing this aura, Xu Chen quickly perceived the Great Dao contained within this star field using his divine sense.
In an instant, Xu Chen sensed a strange Dao essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos that he had not yet fully deduced.
“This star field is not yet fully developed; it has grown out of shape.”
Xu Chen's divine sense swept across the surroundings, easily detecting the boundary of this star field.
Based on the size of the boundary, Xu Chen deduced the size of this star field.
"Equivalent to a thousand times the current human race's starfield territory."
"Since all paths are not yet complete, the strongest beings here are probably no more than the Invincible Saint Venerable realm."
As Xu Chen thought of this, a figure dressed in a blue dress emerged from the void.
The newcomer was tall and had a bewitching face, but in Xu Cun's perception, she was a being similar to the spirit of heaven and earth in the Star Sea Domain, and could not be distinguished by gender.
"Your aura is unique and powerful. Where did you come from?"
The powerful woman stared at Xu Chen with wide eyes, her face full of curiosity.
"I come from the Star Sea Domain," Xu Chen said politely.
The strength of the person before him was infinitely close to that of the Great Dao. Although Xu Chen was not afraid, if he made a move, this alien realm, which he had finally explored and whose myriad paths were not yet complete, might collapse directly.
"Guest from afar, you are not welcome here. Please leave." The powerful figure looked at Xu Chen calmly, his aura gradually rising.
The will of this alien realm also cooperated with the powerful figure before them, attempting to expel Xu Chen.
"Fellow Daoist, you'd better not make a move, otherwise this alien realm may not be safe."
Xu Chen's aura began to rise, and a blade of time appeared in his hand.
A vast Dream Dao Realm, based on Xu Chen's origin, descended upon this alien world.
Although Xu Chen was in a foreign land, the incomplete Dao essence of the myriad Daos here allowed him to recover some of his original essence.
What brings you to my world?
The aura of that powerful figure subsided.
"May I ask your name, friend?" Xu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had not made a move.
Although he could suppress the powerful figure before him, Xu Chen felt that he was powerless to stop this powerful figure from dragging this alien realm down with him.
"Just call me Hua." Hua looked at Xu Chen and opened a spatial passage with a wave of her hand.
At the other end of the passageway was a beautifully decorated temple.
Once inside, countless alien races, seemingly resembling Western fantasy elves, began to bustle about.
"I am a human, Xu Chen." Xu Chen also introduced himself.
"I came to this world to establish a branch of my people here."
"This star field is expanding rapidly, but all the paths are not yet complete. It just so happens that I came from a mature star field."
"If I set up a grand formation to transmit the Great Dao I perceive to the will of this star field, the star field will develop at a faster pace."
"How about I exchange this for allowing my people to establish a branch here?" Xu Chen smiled as he looked at the flowers.
A group of elves placed various drinks, snacks, and fresh fruits in front of Xu Chen. Intrigued, Xu Chen took a bite and found them all quite delicious.
“No, this is my world, and I don’t need outsiders to interfere,” Hua said coldly.
Seeing Hua's resolute expression, Xu Chen sighed, realizing that this powerful woman named Hua wouldn't budge no matter how gentle she was.
"This world is developing at an extremely rapid pace, and you were born when all the myriad paths were not yet complete. If you wish to take a step forward in this life, you can only rely on the will of this star field."
"But the Star Domain Will is ruthless and merciless. It will not spend such a huge cost of its essence to elevate you to the realm above the Great Dao."
"Therefore, in your world, there will always be a stronger person who is even more talented than you in the future."
"So if I don't come, someone else will take over."
"Fellow Daoist Hua".
"To be honest, you're not that strong."
"If I go all out, the combined strength of the two of us and the resulting energy fluctuations from our battle would be enough to obliterate this world."
"I make a deal with you: in this world, our human race will permanently occupy half of the territory. If you agree, you will forever be the master of the other half of this star field."
"If any other powerful figures appear in this Star Sea during this period, I will kill them," Xu Chen said confidently.
Xu Chen's words calmed Hua down. She looked at Xu Chen quietly for a long time, but in the end she did not agree.
"I am the first being born in this world, the first child of the will, and the future mother of all gods."
"My world cannot be divided with foreign races."
Hua stood up as she spoke.
"If you want war, then war. Even if you shatter my world, I will not allow it to be defiled."
A unique aura spread out, and the entire star field began to hum, as if it were ready for battle.
“The strong rule. I am stronger than you, and all I ask for is half the territory. That’s not a big request.” Xu Chen also released his aura to fight back.
"Let's fight!"
A giant flower formed from fresh blood enveloped this space.
Xu Chen lightly tapped the air with his finger, and the flower shattered instantly.
"Okay, let me put it another way."
"I would like to rent half of this area in the Star Sea for my race. How will my race survive?"
“How about my race pays you rent every hundred million years?”
As Xu Chen spoke, he took out a fruit tree of innate supreme treasure level and put it into the void.
Hua, who was about to take action, hesitated for a moment upon hearing Xu Chen's words and looking at the fruit tree rooted in the void, which was of the level of a supreme innate treasure.
"Why wouldn't you want to become my subordinate race?" A hint of struggle flashed across Hua's expression.
“You are weaker than me. If you were the one bound to this star field, do you think I would offer this condition?”
Xu Chen has never concealed his cunning and plundering practices against other races.
The law of the jungle prevails; weakness is the original sin.
Not to mention that there is no reasoning between different races.
"Ok."
After much deliberation, Hua agreed to Xu Chen's request and accepted the innate treasure fruit tree rooted in the void.
A hint of joy flashed in Xu Chen's eyes after seeing that the plan had succeeded.
He then opened the spatial gate, and after Xu Chen issued the order, the Invincible Saint Venerable expert led the main force to arrive.
Half of this star field's territory is equivalent to 500 times the size of the existing human race's star sea territory, enough for the human race to develop for a very long time.
Just as Xu Chen felt he had found a way to escape, a mysterious power that even Xu Chen could not detect flew out.
A final, terrifying aura erupted in this star field.
The moment he sensed this aura, Xu Chen froze, his expression turning blank as he looked sharply towards the center of this star field.
A pair of enormous eyes slowly opened in the star field, looking at the location where Xu Chen was.
His gaze was cold and mocking, and then a vast, seemingly immense power forcefully opened a spatial gate in the void.
A figure that Xu Chen couldn't even see clearly walked out of the spatial gate.
In an instant, the first spirit of heaven and earth born in this star field, the flower, was obliterated by the myriad profound powers, leaving it no room for resistance.
Xu Chen just stared blankly at that figure.
When Xu Chen came to his senses again, he found himself back in his cave.
A bone-chilling cold rose from his soul, causing Xu Chen's body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Even hanging up is unreliable!"
Is fate unchangeable?
At this moment, a simple sentence echoed in Xu Chen's mind.
"Accept your fate."
Sensing these words, Xu Chen's cold soul flared with anger.
"Fate!" A glint of light flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.
"You can easily control that small star field."
"I wonder if you'll still be this composed when you're older."
Xu Chen's order was transmitted to the Azure Dragon Saint Lord.
Subsequently, all the magical spells and supernatural abilities collected by the human race, regardless of their strength, were gathered and sent to Xu Chen's cave.
In an instant, tens of thousands of supernatural powers appeared within the Holy White Space.
Xu Chen sat cross-legged in the Holy White Space, carefully exploring his own cause and effect, destiny, soul, and everything else in his mind.
After reviewing the events hundreds of times, Xu Chen suddenly looked up and shouted at the sky above the Holy White Space.
"You've been infiltrated by the powerful."
As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, a message appeared in his mind.
Seeing this aura, Xu Chen frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"It turns out that the mysterious power of that person mixed in with my body has penetrated deep into my destiny, body and soul. In order to avoid being discovered, I must die once first in order to construct a perfect body of will in the Holy White Space."
"But when did this wisp of mysterious power enter my body?"
Xu Chen couldn't help but recall, and finally discovered that there were too many loopholes.
"Never mind, let's find another one."
As Xu Chen spoke, his mental body suddenly exploded, then revived and began to continue his exploration.
Xu Chen slowly identified the tens of thousands of supernatural spatial gates one by one.
As he continued to explore, Xu Chen found another alien realm when he reached the three thousandth supernatural spatial gate.
Xu Chen entered the room after making thorough preparations.
It turned out that this alien realm was also newly formed, smaller than the star field where the flower was located, roughly equivalent to 700 human star sea territories.
This time, however, Xu Chen did not allow the other human experts to enter. Instead, he marked the area and returned to the Holy White Space to continue his exploration.
The fact that he possesses that trace of mysterious power suggests that other powerful human beings may also possess it.
"You wait, I will definitely find you a star field even more powerful than the Star Sea, and then..." (End of this chapter)
