Chapter 737
Past
“Let’s search again.” Xu Chen smiled slightly. The damaged Xuanhuang treasure could be repaired and used again.
Seeing that what they were looking for was useful, many of the human race's powerful warriors began searching the battlefield again.
As the spoils of war accumulated, Xu Chen suddenly began to look forward to what kind of treasures would be allocated to his divine race region after he occupied this star field.
"Fellow Daoist Xu~"
Weakened and with half of his Great Dao Body severed, Xie Xuan flew to Xu Chen's side, looking utterly miserable.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. This battle was truly arduous."
Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and a unique Dao of Life condensed into a surging source of life that enveloped Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan, who was originally weak and whose Great Dao Body had been halved, began to slowly recover.
It recovered to its original state in no time, but its own essence still needed time to recover to its full potential.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu!"
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xu, I might have perished in that battle just now." Xie Xuan looked at Xu Chen with deep gratitude.
Although they perished in this battle, they will be resurrected in the Star Sea, but the contributions they make to their race will be different.
Most importantly, the spoils looted after the war—finding even a small amount of them is equivalent to millions of years of hard work before.
"We're all friends, it's only right to lend a hand."
"The Primordial God Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the number one god clan in the Star Sea Domain. When they fight, their momentum is unstoppable. On the battlefield, they are like a sharp sword cutting through all directions," Xu Chen praised.
Among the major god-race armies, the primordial god race captured the most troops in the star field. Of course, this is calculated without including the human race's achievements in their battle records.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is too kind. Your power alone can slaughter the entire battlefield. One person's attack can take up 60% of our entire Primordial God Clan army." Xie Xuan had a smile on his face. He was pleased with Xu Chen's praise.
"After thanking you, fellow Daoist, hurry up and loot the spoils, or your fellow clans will rob them all." Xu Chen looked into the distance, where the various clans occasionally exclaimed in amazement as they collected their spoils.
"I almost forgot about chatting with Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm off now!" Xie Xuan transformed into a streak of red light and flew towards his battlefield.
Xu Chen waved his hand and released a temple. After entering the temple, he began to comprehend the special laws of this battlefield.
At this moment, another chess piece appeared on the chessboard in the spiritual treasure space, representing the Great Dao of Rules.
"The special Great Path of Rules and the Great Path of Games complement each other, and their power may undergo a qualitative change."
Xu Chen slowly comprehended the Great Dao of Rules within the temple. On the battlefield, a unique fluctuation occasionally emanated from the special battlefield reserved for those who had mastered the Great Dao, causing all the powerful figures on the larger battlefield below to feel uneasy.
Three hundred million years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire battlefield remains sealed.
Special battlefields will occasionally experience fluctuations.
However, this allowed the large battlefield below to adapt, and the powerful figures of various races in the Star Sea Domain also placed their personal cave dwellings in this large battlefield.
After comprehending half of that special rule of the Great Dao, Xu Chen left seclusion to check on the situation of that special battlefield.
"How long are they going to fight?"
A trace of power of rules burst forth from Xu Chen's body and quietly merged into that special battlefield.
The moment his special power of rules entered, it was shaken out by the aftershocks of the great power of the Great Dao activated by the powerful being on the Great Dao.
"The fighting is still going on, but judging from the situation, the stronger ones on the Great Dao of the Star Sea Domain should have the advantage."
"Just wait patiently."
Xu Chen returned to the temple with peace of mind and continued to comprehend the special rules and principles of the Great Dao.
Another 3000 million years have passed. By this time, the entire battlefield has developed into a world in itself, with various races in the Star Sea occupying different areas.
Xu Chen's temple is located in the center of the human race's main continent.
As Xu Chen emerged from seclusion and stepped out of the temple, he was immediately struck by the magnificent sight before him.
With a sweep of his divine sense, this temporary human realm appeared completely in Xu Chen's mind.
Two invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts from the Xuanding Dao Cang human race emerged from the void.
"That's very thoughtful of them; they even brought the human people with them when they came."
"Some powerful human beings like to bring their family members to their personal cave dwellings."
"After I discovered it, I gathered them together, and they became a human race."
"Through the development of the latest year, the strongest member of the clan born in the past thirty million years has reached the Great Venerable realm."
"With more development, we might be able to catch up with other branches of the human race," Xuan Ding said with a smile.
"How has the special battlefield been during this time?" Xu Chen looked at the special battlefield that dominated the entire battlefield.
"Information has been coming in from the special battlefield. Our Star Sea Region has been in the upper hand, but it will be a long time before we achieve final victory."
"Then let's wait here."
“I remember when we came here, I provided you with spiritual treasures that could store your own destiny.”
"The power of the Great Dao in this place is somewhat special. If you can comprehend it, you can take another step forward on the path of the Great Dao."
Just now, Xu Chen swept his divine sense across the entire human race's main realm and discovered that none of the human race experts he brought had comprehended the Great Dao of Rules.
On the contrary, the human race, which has been born and multiplied in this world, has grasped a little bit of the basics.
"Holy Lord, we have sensed it too."
"But the power of rules is extremely mysterious, and we have only grasped the surface of it after tens of millions of years of study." Xuan Ding Saint Venerable said with a bitter face, indicating that it was not that they did not try hard enough.
Is it really that difficult?
"Since we can't go out anyway, and we have nothing else to do lately, let's open the altar and preach!"
Xu Chen waved his hand, and a massive Dao field appeared on the main continent of the human race.
At the same time, a message was transmitted to the communication devices of all the powerful humans.
The human powerhouse who received the message immediately showed a look of wild joy on his face.
Having the privilege of hearing Xu Chen speak of the powerful human race, I was even more excited.
Inside the spatial arena, crafted from the embryo of a top-tier innate treasure, countless human powerhouses sat cross-legged, gazing expectantly at the main seat in the center of the arena.
With a flash of spatial power, Xu Chen appeared and sat down cross-legged in the main seat.
"Let's start by discussing the rules and principles."
"The Great Dao has an order, which is the seed of Yin and Yang, and the order of pure Qi is..."
Xu Chen didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
Among the human powerhouses below, some seemed to understand, while others looked completely bewildered.
However, Xu Chen's voice contained a unique Dao essence, which would even enter the voice of a human powerhouse who had not yet comprehended it, transforming into a seed of Dao essence.
Only at the right time, the human powerhouses who carry the seed of Dao suddenly realize the basics of the Great Dao and understand its rules.
The sermons have been going on for millions of years, and of the many powerful humans who have heard them, only 40% have grasped the basics of the Great Dao of Rules.
This was also within Xu Chen's expectations.
After finishing his sermon, Xu Chen dismissed the many powerful human beings in the arena.
"Being trapped in this battlefield for a long time is really boring."
Xu Chen returned to the temple and silently looked at the battlefield.
Although Xu Chen could escape this battlefield by opening a spatial portal, he feared that if he left, the benefits that were exclusively his would be seized by other powerful figures on the Great Dao. In comparison, guarding this vast battlefield for hundreds of millions of years was still worthwhile.
Just as Xu Chen was preparing to stay on this battlefield for an extended period of time.
A crack appeared on a special battlefield amidst a vast battlefield.
Fifty powerful figures from the Great Dao emerged from among them.
Thirty-six of them belonged to the Starry Sky Domain, while the other powerful figures on the Great Dao belonged to this Starry Sky Domain.
Seeing this, the many powerful figures from the Star Sea below looked on with puzzlement.
"I have reached an agreement with the powerful figures on the Great Dao in this star field, and they are willing to belong to our Star Sea Field."
"We have won this battle!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout the entire battlefield, causing all the powerful figures in the Star Sea Domain to cheer.
Xu Chen, who was in the human camp, remained calm, pondering a question: did his elder brother still stand by his promise to plunder the gods?
Thinking of this, Xu Chen looked at the group of powerful figures on the Great Dao once again.
Only Zunhai and Fourth Brother were present.
Even sensing Xu Chen's gaze, Zun Hai looked at Xu Chen and blinked.
"Don't worry, brother. I won't forget what I promised. One of the Xuanhuang treasures of the Golden Path has already been reserved."
"As for the gods, I have already discussed it with many powerful figures on the Great Dao. However, you can only plunder them, but you cannot harm any of the powerful figures from the gods."
Xu Chen nodded upon hearing Zun Hai's telepathic message, indicating that his efforts had not been in vain.
Outside the territory of the gods in an unfamiliar star system, Xu Chen led a group of human powerhouses to arrive.
At this moment, the gods were ready. All the gods, regardless of their cultivation level, gathered together, each wearing only a spiritual robe. All their spatial treasures were placed together.
An invincible Saint Venerable Realm god came before Xu Chen and knelt down.
"The Blue Ice Clan is willing to submit and offer up everything of their clan!"
These words were uttered one by one from the mouth of that invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert.
The unspoken resentment made Xu Chen's lips curl into a slight smile.
“I’ll offer everything if you submit.” Xu Chen’s gaze swept over the gathering place of the gods.
"That's not necessary. After this star field was swallowed up by our star sea, the strong members of your race were reincarnated. The remaining ones are no longer qualified to submit to our race."
Xu Chen's calm tone nearly caused the invincible Saint Venerable Realm god kneeling on the ground to have his Dao heart collapse.
Xu Chen waved his hand lightly, and countless human powerhouses rushed towards the divine territory like mad dogs.
"You humans are becoming more and more powerful."
A voice rang out from not far away, and Zun Hai led his fourth brother out of the void.
"Big brother, fourth brother!"
Xu Chen waved his hand and released a temple, leading them inside.
"This battle was really tough. If it weren't for Zhiyang, Jiuyuan, and Daohong, it's hard to say whether we could have won." Zunhai said, a look of lingering fear on his face.
The fourth brother recounted the perilous nature of the battle to Xu Chen.
"It was so dangerous!"
"Why did they ultimately accept the submission of the powerful beings on the Great Dao of this Star Domain?"
In the Star Sea, battles between races are always about annihilation.
Not to mention between different star systems.
"This star field has always been connected with another star field. Neither of them can do anything about the other, so they can only cooperate in the end."
"Just because we can't do anything about this star system doesn't mean we can't."
"This is the pledge of allegiance offered by the powerful figures on the Great Star Domain, who also expressed their willingness to fight for the Star Sea Domain and not accept any spoils of war. Only in this way can their submission be accepted."
"They really will do anything to survive..." Xu Chen felt that if he were an ordinary expert on the Great Dao, he would also accept such conditions.
Inside the temple, Xu Chen set out a grand banquet, bringing out all the unique delicacies and wines he had tasted during his travels across various star regions over the years.
Zunhai, the fourth brother, and Xu Chen drank to their hearts' content.
"It's a pity that the second, third, fifth, and sixth brothers are still recovering and can't enjoy the post-battle celebration," the fourth brother lamented.
"That's easy. You can just be the meat shield in front of us during the next big battle." Zun Hai laughed and raised his glass to drink with his fourth brother, Xu Chen, once again.
After enjoying the food and drinks, Xu Chen began to brew tea.
"Brother, the more star fields our Star Sea Domain devours, the more complete the information we come into contact with about this chaotic world."
“During this period, I hope you will quickly improve your strength.” Zun Hai took a sip of tea, put down his teacup, and his expression became serious.
“We brothers were confident we could protect you before.”
"But seeing Jiu Yuan make a move in this battle, my heart wavered."
"Even if the six of us brothers risked our lives, we couldn't guarantee that we could stop Jiu Yuan."
"His strength is becoming increasingly terrifying."
"And judging from his style of doing things, he definitely won't let you off the hook." Zun Hai's expression was somewhat worried.
"Don't worry, brother. As long as you can protect the human race after I leave, that's enough."
"I may not be able to defeat Jiu Yuan, but I still have the ability to escape." Xu Chen thought of those three star regions. As long as Jiu Yuan dared to attack him, he would run towards those regions.
"Don't worry, the human race will definitely protect you."
“He dared to attack the human race, not only will the six of us brothers be punished, but the Supreme Yang God Lord will not let him off.”
Zun Hai's words piqued Xu Chen's curiosity.
"Brother, when we first came here, the words of the Supreme Yang God Lord piqued my curiosity."
"How did Jiuyuan advance to the level above the Great Dao?" Xu Chen asked.
“Your cultivation level was too low before, and I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to withstand the consequences.”
"Now that we're stronger, we're qualified to know about these rumors."
"What do you think is the most wicked thing in the Star Sea Domain?" Zun Hai asked first.
"For the sake of cultivation, I will devour my own kind and sacrifice my entire clan," Xu Chen said without hesitation.
"Jiuyuan was originally a spirit of heaven and earth with extremely strong talent. When he was in the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, he was able to rival the experts above the Great Dao."
"But Jiuyuan was not satisfied with this, so he spent countless years creating a secret technique."
"He was reincarnated into one of the great holy clans, and cultivated to the peak of the invincible holy venerable realm with the bloodline of the holy clan. Then he used his secret method to sacrifice the entire clan to consolidate his own foundation."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
“If it were just one case, it would be fine, but Jiuyuan sacrificed a total of 360 members of the Holy Clan.”
"These holy races who were sacrificed all regarded him as the hope for the rise of their race, and opened up their resources for him to use, but in the end they suffered this result."
"Such behavior is unacceptable even to many powerful figures on the Great Dao in the Star Sea Domain!" Zun Hai spat out at the opportune moment. (End of Chapter)
