Chapter 437 - 15 in 1

"Eh? Who are you kid?!"

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei had ascended from the ground, the Dark Demon could not help but turn his attention to Chen Xiaobei. The Dark Demon was curious on how Chen Xiaobei could move around so freely in this zero-g space that he'd created. Also, the most important thing was that everyone had been almost scared to death by the 10,000 ghost armies. To his surprise, Chen Xiaobei's state of mind seemed unaffected by it at all.

"I'm here to bring you away from this world!"

Due to time constraints, Chen Xiaobei did not waste too much talking to the Dark Demon. Immediately, he took out a paper talisman.

"You? Bring me away from this world? Hahaha… Not even the deities in heaven are powerful enough to do so! Who do you think you are? I would advise you to sit there obediently and just let me kill you!"

"Have you ever seen the deities? It's better for you to not speak in such an arrogant manner! If not, your face might be slapped by me later!"

"Slap me? The only one who can slap my face hasn't even been born yet!"

"Is that right? Don't blame me for not reminding you later! Sanzang is usually a very stingy person! The day when I carried him to get the champion at the King of Glory competition, he gave me a Red Envelope for free!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?"

"Initially, I thought that I would never be able to figure out a way to deal with you! With this Reincarnation Divine Talisman, I'm confident enough that I will be able to force you into reincarnation!"

"What? Reincarnation Divine Talisman?!"

Phissh!

The talisman that floated right beside Chen Xiaobei emitted holy rays all of a sudden. Like a sun shining at the ground, the holy light flooded the room and covered every single evil spirit.

"What… What is that… Such bright light…"

The Dark Demon let out a scream of desolation. Though he was standing far away from Chen Xiaobei, he was still affected by the holy rays.

"This… is a Divine Item! And it's designed to reincarnate evil spirits!"

Under the influence of the holy rays, Chen Xiaobei's state of mind was calmed. He felt really warm and comfortable.

Ah!!!

Roar!!!

Owww!!!

At the same time, all 10,000 evil spirits that were affected by the holy rays were screaming in agony for help. There was black smoke coming out from their bodies. When the black smoke had disappeared, all their accumulated hatred and murderous intent were gone! Soon, the immense pressure in the room was lifted and all of Chen Xiaobei's allies finally let out a sigh of relief. They did not need to worry about getting killed anymore.

"Stop… Stop what you are doing right now… You are going to destroy my Black Dragon Riders… Without them, I will never be able to avenge myself… Stop!!!"

"The talisman is working… I can't stop it even if I want it to…" replied Chen Xiaobei with his shoulders shrugged.

"Eh? What is this place? Where… Where are we? What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly!

All the evil spirits stopped their screaming and they began to speak in human language.

The terrifying looks on them were now gone. All of them had regained their original looks when they were still human. Finally, the holy rays emitted from the talisman were now completely gone. In other words, all 10,000 evil spirits had been purified and turned into ordinary spirits.

"Everyone! This is the tomb of Emperor Qin! Due to Emperor Qin's evil plan, all of you were trapped here for thousands of years and turned into evil spirits! I have just used the divine power to purify all of you here! Right now, you guys can enter the underworld realm and peacefully reincarnate!" shouted Chen Xiaobei.

"Hold on! Are you trying to tell us that Emperor Qin set us up and turned us into evil spirits?" asked the Black Dragon Rider's general.

"That's right! He used all of your blood essence to deploy a blood curse! With that, every single one of you would be trapped here for eternity to protect him!"

"What a load of bullshit! We, the Black Dragon Riders have sworn to serve Emperor Qin even when we are dead! We are the ones who carried his coffin here! I'm the one that deployed the blood curse and all of us here chose willingly to surrender our will to the dark side!"

"How… How is that even possible? All 10,000 of you volunteered to die for Emperor Qin? For him, you guys are willing give up the opportunity to reincarnate and become evil spirits?"

"That's right!!!"

Suddenly, 10,000 Black Dragon Riders shouted at the same time. The combined roars of the riders were loud enough to tremble the place.

"We are Emperor Qin's servants! We will die for him! We will avenge him! F*ck reincarnation! F*ck being born again! We will continue to turn ourselves into evil spirits as long as the revenge is not done!"

After that, a tornado was summoned into the room!

Anger!

Violence!

Darkness!

Hatred!

All these dark feelings rushed into every single Black Dragon Rider.

They were now evil spirits once again.

Who would have thought that all 10,000 of them would turn back to the dark side after Chen Xiaobei had purified them.

"You… You guys…"

Chen Xiaobei could not find the words to describe his feelings right now. He thought that it was a grand waste for them to give up the opportunity to be reincarnated just like that. On the other hand, he was impressed by their loyalty to their king.

"Great!!!"

The Dark Demon that stood on the coffin was touched by his armies as well.

"All of you are worthy to be called my elites! Your loyalty is enough for me!"

Upon hearing that, all 10,000 Black Dragon Riders shouted once again before they lost their consciousness.

"We serve only Emperor Qin! We will go through all hard times with him! We will bleed for him!"

Chen Xiaobei had goosebumps when he heard their war cry.

Surely, he would have felt what the Dark Demon felt is he had such loyal armies.

"I will rise again! And I have a10,000 strong army that is powerful enough to conquer the world!" said the Dark Demon.

"Wow! What a mighty group of Qin soldiers, all united for the sake of the country! What a group of spirited soldiers contending for hegemony! It is no wonder that Qin was able to destroy and dominate six countries!"

Chen Xiaobei felt his blood boil hot as he watched the scene before him. He could imagine the pride and joy felt when the Daqin calvary ruled over the whole of China.

"Return!" The Dark Demon above the coffin shouted.

All at once, all ten thousand of the evil spirit army turned around and returned into the demon's body.

"Faction Leader Chen! Did I get that right?" The Dark Demon asked.

"Yes! I am the leader of Bei Xuan faction, Chen Zhufeng!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and then asked, "Your majesty, how can I help you?"

"I'd like to beseech you for a favour!" The demon said.

"Beseech me?" Chen Xiaobei paused for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

The first Emperor of the great Qin Empire, the Supreme Lord who conquered six states and ruled over the whole China, used the word 'beseech'?

"You heard me right!" The demon said. "Your talisman is very powerful! I'd like to ask you to leave one for me!"

"Why do you want an Expiate Heart Returning Talisman?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"My soldiers are willing to remain as evil spirits for eternity, but I cannot let them go on like that! Once I get my revenge, I will use the talisman to help them reincarnate back to the world as humans!"

"It looks like your conscience hasn't completely been eradicated!" Chen Xiaobei now saw the demon in a new light.

Ten thousand Black Dragon Riders who were loyal to a fault and their emperor who was sympathetic and faithful!

One should not belittle on the one word 'beseech'. A real man would rather die than say the word!

"Conscience? Hehe, that was just a joke!" The demon did not want to admit it. "Let's talk about something more practical. If Faction Leader Chen gives me a talisman, I can open up a portal and send you back safely!"

"I'm not in a hurry. Chen Xiaobei shook his head. "What I'm curious about is, if you have a score that you want to settle, why didn't you leave this place then?"

"Don't you think I want to leave?" The demon hissed. "Xu Fu, that snake! He put a powerful seal on my casket. I cannot even leave this black coffin, so where else can I go?"

"Does that mean that this dark demon here is not your true self?"

"Of course not! It's all thanks to the loyalty of the Black Dragon Riders who offered their blood as sacrifice and landed the Spirit Blood Curse on my coffin! After thousands of years, the seal had finally weakened enough, and I was able to unleash some of my consciousness to control the formation!"

"No wonder! What level is the seal that Xu Fu placed? If it's below demi-god, I can break it and set you free!"

The demon sighed, "Unfortunately, Xu Fu was already an Earth God with God Ascension cultivation at that time! That's why no one can break the seal that he placed!"

"I have a suggestion! I will bring your coffin away from here, and then try to figure out a way to break the seal! Or else, you'd be stuck here for millions of years and still be unable to break out, much less wreak vengeance on anyone!"

"What you say is nice to hear but I don't believe that there is such a thing as altruistic help!" The demon said solemnly. "Tell me, what good will it do you if you get me out of this place?"

Chen Xiaobei was frank as usual. "I was hoping I could borrow your Black Dragon Riders! The Blood God's Deity-Killing painting that I used just now needs another ten thousand spirits before it can become a demi-god instrument!"

"No way!" The demon refused categorically. "I see the Black Dragon Riders as my brothers in arms! I will never give them away to anyone! As a matter of fact, after I've sought retribution, I would love to allow them to reincarnate and have a new life as a human!"

"Don't worry! I'm just borrowing!" Chen Xiaobei said. "You will still have complete control of the Black Dragon Riders. It's only when I need it, that you'll release them to give me a helping hand!"

"Are you speaking the truth?" The demon seemed to have a change of heart.

"Of course! You lend me the Black Dragon Riders, and I'll find a way to help you break the seal! Also, I will make sure to give you one Expiate Heart Returning Talisman! This is a win-win deal with no downsides that you have no reason to refuse!"

"Indeed! If I don't leave with you this time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see daylight for the next few centuries! But I have one more request – you have to help me with my revenge!"

"Revenge?" Chen Xiaobei lowered his voice. "Are you talking about the Jade Emperor? I'm afraid I cannot help you with that."

"Oh, you're think too much! In my current condition, I cannot even consider that grudge! What I want you to do is to help me kill that dog Xu Fu!"

"Xu Fu?" Chen Xiaobei took a moment to digest his words. "According to you, he's already become an Earth God thousands of years ago. Wouldn't he have already become a deity by now?"

"No!" The demon was certain. "That dog is definitely still in the underworld! If he could become a deity, he would already have paid this place a visit to destroy my soul!"

Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Alright! I can promise to help avenge you, but I'm still quite weak so we cannot rush this. I'll need time to come up with a plan!"

"Of course! You are my only hope. I do not wish to see you die in vain either!"

"Good! In that case, let's officially form an alliance! Live together, die together! Help each other through thick and thin!" Chen Xiaobei said ceremonially.

"Live together, die together! Help each other through thick and thin!" The demon nodded in confirmation.

Swoosh!

After that, the dark demon's body dispersed and returned to the coffin.

"Black Doors! Open!"

A magnetic and imposing voice called out from inside the box.

That was his majesty Ying Zheng's voice, of course.

Buzz…

There was a wave of energy, and a black portal slowly tore open in the void.

Ying Zheng said, "Go through this door and you'll reach the peak of Mount Li. You'll be able to leave the mausoleum once and for all!"

"Alright! Let's go!" Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and the coffin was stored inside the Infinite Space Ring. He then led the people out.

At the peak of Mount Li.

The people felt as though they had walked through hell and finally returned to earth; it was as if they had regained a whole new life, and Chen Xiaobei was now their father!

Everyone was deeply grateful towards Chen Xiaobei, and thanked him from the bottom of their hearts. Zhou Daoxian and the nine other men were no exception. Of course, whether or not it was sincere was still a question mark.

Anyway, in Chen Xiaobei's eyes, they were like harmless little ants. It was good, of course, if they were sincere but if they still wished to plot against him, Chen Xiaobei would not mind giving them a gift of death!

Ding! Ring! Ring!

Back on the surface, with mobile signal now restored, Chen Xiaobei received a phone call from Bai Linsu.

"Sister Bai, why are you looking for me?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"You picked up your phone… finally! I want to tell you that the portal in Atlantis is fixed! I just need to complete one last thing and the portal can be used again!" said Bai Linsu.

"You fixed it? That's really fast! Sister Bai, thank you so much! For now, don't activate it first. I will do something about it when I come back later!"

"Understood! Once the portal is activated, the people from the Northern Wilderness Starfield will be able to travel to Atlantis! You have to figure out a way to deal with them!"

"Understood! There's still some time left before I need to report to the overlord! Ten days left! I still have time to prepare myself!"

"Alright! I'm glad that you have thought about it! Oh ya, if it's possible, can you send Shuang'er and me back to Green Hill Starfield? I need to attend to an urgent matter regarding Green Hill's royalty! That's why I have to get back there as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Wait for me to come back! I will send the two you back to Green Hill Starfield with my Returning Bracelet!"

"Great! Shuang'er and I will wait for you at Atlantis!"

After that, Bai Linsu hung up the call.

"Bro Yu, where is Xuanxin? I didn't see her!" asked Chen Xiaobei after he kept his cellphone away.

"She needs to digest the power that he got from Xu Fu. That's why she wants to leave early!" said Xiangyu.

"Leave early? This is weird. Why didn't bid me goodbye? Is she still mad at me?"

"Actually, the girl that you just mentioned came for you just now. However, she stomped her feet and left in hurry when she saw you talking to aother woman!" said Six-Eared Macaque.

"Err… What is going on with Liu Xuanxin? She was willing to sacrifice herself for me when we were in Emperor Qin's tomb earlier and now she is getting jealous over other women? Could it be that she's fallen in love with me?" asked Chen Xiaobei gleefully.

"I feel like the relationship between two of you is not as simple as I thought it is!" said Six-Eared Macaque.

"Actually, I felt the same as well! Many a time, I feel that I have known her for a very long time! She's like family to me! I just don't understand why she would distant herself from me on purpose. I have never seen her real face before!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Why don't you use your Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to take a peek of her?" asked Six-Eared Macaque.

"I know I can do that but I won't! She is my friend and I have to respect her! After all, I can see that her looks matter a lot to her! Without her permission, I will never take a peek of her! She will never forgive me if I do that!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Humans are so damn complicated! We monsters are way simpler than humans! If we see someone that we like, we will just drag them along with us! Do you know that if a female monster sees someone as handsome as you, they would definitely drag you to their room by force!" said Six-Eared Macaque with a chuckle.

"Erm… I'm not Sanzang!" replied Chen Xiaobei.

"That's not the point right now! Go after the girl right now! Otherwise, you will be filled with regret when she is truly gone later!"

"I don't think I'm going to do that. She's still angry at me! It's useless for me to go after her! Besides, I have something more important to deal with right now!"

Chen Xiaobei then took out his cellphone and tapped on a reading app.

"What's going on?"

Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque were puzzled.

"Haha! Old Leader has just uploaded some chapters! Finally! Zhufeng, The Battle God has reached three million words!"

"Who is Old Leader? What is Zhufeng, The Battle Lord?" asked Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque.

"I know! It's a very popular online novel! I heard that they are going to make it into a TV series and perhaps a movie!" said Li Xiang.

"Online novel? Xiaobei, what's going on? Please tell us!"

"I can tell the two of you but you guys have to keep it as a secret! I used this novel to exchange for a Ginseng Fruit from Grand Deity, Zhen Yuan and he's promised that if I managed to push the novel to three million words, he will give me another Ginseng Fruit!"

"Damn… What the hell…"

Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque were left in awe after they heard Chen Xiaobei's testimony. One should know that the value of a Ginseng Fruit was way higher than a Saturn Peach. Besides, Grand Deity Zhen Yuan was an eccentric person. It was not that easy to convince him to give out something as precious as that. To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei had managed to simply use an ordinary online novel to exchange for two Ginseng Fruits!

Chen Xiaobei: Grand Deity Zhen Yuan! I have just sent you the latest chapter! And it's more than three million words!

Zhen Yuan: Okay. I have seen the latest chapter! According to what I've promised you, I will give you another 3,000 year-old Ginseng Fruit. Get ready to receive my Red Envelope.

Chen Xiaobei: No rush! This time I actually don't want a Ginseng Fruit. Can I ask for something else?

Zhen Yuan: What do you want?

Chen Xiaobei: I need something that you've concocted, a Golden Body Purifying Pill!

Zhen Yuan: Why do you need it? It's a very high-tier pill! It can be used to cure a deity! Using it on a human is a waste! Unless… you are actually helping a deity!"

Chen Xiaobei: Grand Deity Zhen Yuan, I know I will never be able to hide from you. This pill is for Acheron!

Zhen Yuan: Ugh… Why would you be friends with people like him?

Chen Xiaobei: Erm… Is he your enemy as well?

Zhen Yuan: No… He has nothing to do with me! Know that he is the number one enemy of Buddhism, and the calamity is just around the corner! Those who are close to him will definitely not end well!

Chen Xiaobei: I know about all of that. His Blood Sea Holy Flame had become smaller in size now because he volunteered to help me! I feel really bad if I don't help him recover it!

Zhen Yuan: You should listen to my advice! Take my Ginseng Fruit! Forget about the pill and don't contact him anymore!

Chen Xiaobei: No! I will never betray my friend! As long as there is hope, I will help him to get the pill!

Chen Xiaobei: You… Never mind… Seeing that you are so loyal to your friend, I don't think you will betray me… Take the pill and consider me having no idea who you're giving it to!

Chen Xiaobei: Understood! It's my decision to give it to Acheron! It has nothing to do with you. If the higher powers ask about it, I will take all responsibility!

Zhen Yuan: Then, do you still want the Ginseng Fruit?

Chen Xiaobei: Ginseng fruit? Can I still have it? There are only three million words. I would have to give priority to the Golden Body Purifying Pill !

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: I have always been fond of people who value loyalty. You knew that it would result in great danger, yet you were willing to bear the consequences. This is not something everyone is able to do! For your persistence and your comradeship, for your willingness to take up the responsibility and your courage, I will make an exception just this once – as long as you find me another novel as good a read as 'Battlegod Zhufeng', I will give you both the Golden Body Purifying Pill and the three thousand year-old Ginseng Fruit!

Chen Xiaobei: Find another book?

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: That should not be difficult for you, right?

Chen Xiaobei: No, of course not! In fact, instead of one, I'll send ten premium novels to you later!

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Ten? You're joking, right? Even if you give me ten books, I can only give you one Ginseng Fruit!

Chen Xiaobei: A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring (Meaning that although the help you received from others was small, you should return that favor tenfolds when they are in need!) That is my principle in life! You gave me a chance and made an exception for me, so I'm repaying you tenfold!

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Great! Excellent! I had not misjudged you! Take the Red Envelopes first; you can just send me the novels later!

Chen Xiaobei: Of course!

Ding –

Congratulations! You've received Grand Deity Zhen Yuan's Red Envelope. A three thousand year-old Ginseng Fruit has been stored inside your treasure chest!

Ding –

Congratulations! You received Grand Deity Zhen Yuan's Red Envelope. A Golden Body Purifying Pill has been stored inside your treasure chest!

"I've got the Red Envelopes! Yes!" Chen Xiaobei was smiling from ear to ear. "I was so worried that I couldn't have my cake and eat it too! Thank goodness I was firm with my principle, which the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan appreciated. I actually managed to have it both ways!"

After that, Chen Xiaoebei quickly sent the Golden Body Purifying Pill to Acheron.

Acheron: Wow! Little brother Xiaobei! My good old brother! How did you manage to get it so quickly?! You're incredible! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, ten thousand times and over!

Chen Xiaobei: You're too courteous, brother. It's something that I should have done!

Acheron: No, no no! I have to thank you! You are the only person in our three realms who can help me get the Golden Body Purifying Pill! I will remember your kindness, and commit it to memory!

Chen Xiaobei: There's no need for decorous words! But you have to keep in mind that giving you the pill is my decision. The Grand Deity Zhen Yuan has no knowledge of this?

Acheron: has no knowledge of this? Oh! I get it! Zhen Yuanzi doesn't want to be held responsible! He couldn't escape during the last calamity, and he didn't form any relations with anyone nor take any sides. In the end, he did not gain any benefit nor did he acquire any enemies!

Chen Xiaobei: Remaining neutral in a fight is also a good choice.

Acheron: Zhen Yuanzi, that old fox, is saving his own ass by pushing all the responsibility to you. You'll be in big trouble when the Buddhist higher power from looks for someone to blame!

Chen Xiaobei: We'll talk about that in the future! Brother, take this time to recover. Should there be any trouble in the future, you can help me out too!

Acheron: Without question… of course! After this, we are friends for life– your problems will be my problems too! We'll stand together when things go south!

Chen Xiaobei: Yes! We'll stand together!

After he had concluded his chat with Acheron, Chen Xiaobei quickly searched for the novels he promised the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan.

Thanks to the development of modern networks, and premium platforms like QQ, Chen Xiaobei was able to find ten top-quality novels in next to no time.

When he sent them in a Red Envelope, the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan was visibly very pleased.

But of course, 'Battlegod Zhufeng was still the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan's favorite.

He even made another agreement with Chen Xiaobei that when Battlegod Zhufeng had reached six million words, he would give Chen Xiaobei another three thousand year-old Ginseng fruit!

Subsequently, Chen Xiaobei put Six-Eared Macaque and Xiang Yu into the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd, and returned to Atlantis on the Somersault Cloud.

Li Xiang was now the newly crowned Blood Emperor so he had to return to integrate internal forces among the Blood Descendants, having to part with Chen Xiaobei for the moment.

Atlantis.

Bai Linsu, Linghu Shuang and Wu Guangwen were waiting for Chen Xiaobei's return.

Upon his arrival, Bai Linsu immediately brought him to see the reconstructed portal.

Bai Linsu was, without a doubt, a master of Portal – she was able to restore the broken portal to its former glory in ten short days.

"The portal is fixed. It works like a Divine Instrument – you'll just need to establish a Spiritual Connection with it and you'll be able to be able to activate it, enabling you to able to travel between earth and the Northern Wilderness Starfield!" Bai Linsu said confidently.

"I understand! Thank you so much, sister Bai!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "I will have to think thoroughly before deciding when to activate it!"

"Big Bro Chen! If you have need nothing else, please send my Sifu and I back to Green Hill Starfield! It's urgent!" Linghu Shuang urged.

"Why the rush to go back?" Chen Xiaobei wanted to know. "What happened? Could you tell me?"

Linghu Shuang did not reply. She only looked at Bai Lingxiang with big, glistening eyes.

"I'll tell you!" Bai Linsu said. "Three days ago, I received a very important piece of news! My queen is expecting a baby! I am considered a half royal, so I have to return to give my congratulations!

"The queen is pregnant?" Chen Xiaobei paused for a moment. "Is that news accurate? How far along is she? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Huh?" Bai Linsu looked surprised.

Linghu Shuang hissed, "Big Bro Chen, why are you asking so many questions? Is that child even yours?"

"Er…" Chen Xiaobei wanted to roll his eyes. "Kid, how could you have such a wild imagination?! How could the queen's child be mine…"

"If it's not your child, then why are you so excited? The questions that you asked – we don't even know the answers to them!"

"I was too brash…" Chen Xiaobei reined himself in. "Sister Bai, can I return with you to congratulate her majesty?"

"I'm afraid not!" Bai Linsu shook her head. "This news still hasn't been made public yet. It's a secret! Telling you is already disclosing this secret. I cannot bring you back with us!"

"Big Bro Chen! Are you sure the child is not yours?" Linghu Shuang eyeballed Chen Xiaobei from the corner of her eyes with suspicion.

"No! What the… Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Xiaobei could feel a trickle of sweat run down his forehead. "If it's inconvenient for Sister Bai, then I won't go with you, but I hope that you could inform me if there's any news!"

"Sure."

Bai Linsu nodded, wondering why Chen Xiaobei was so concerned with the yet unborn life.

"Big Bro Chen, if you're in a hurry to find out about this, then send us back to Green Hill Starfield as soon as possible!" Linghu Shuang reminded him.

'Alright! Wait here! I have to speak to Wu Wenguang first. We'll leave right after!" Chen Xiaobei replied.

Wu Guangwen was supposed to be the eyes and ears for the overlord at the South Town Star Temple. Upon returning to Atlantis, Chen Xiaobei murdered Lu Gang and the rest of his enemies. However, he chose to spare Wu Guangwen's life and gave him a piece of Heavenly Dog Biscuit. In the end, he was asked to become Chen Xiaobei's eyes and ears.

There was no signal on Chen Xiaobei's cellphone for a very long time. He was dying to know all about the overlord when he had met up with Wu Guangwen.

"Master!"

Wu Guangwen bowed at Chen Xiaobei in a polite manner.

"What's the latest update on the overlord?"

"The overlord asked me about the progress of fixing the portal and your whereabouts when you were not at Atlantis!"

"And what did you tell him?"

"Well… I did what you told me to do. I told the overlord that you never left Atlantis! At the same time, I also told him that your friend from a higher tier starfield is helping you top fix the portal and she can fix it within a month! However, I didn't tell him that the portal is actually fixed!"

"Very well! I will be away for another few days. Tell the overlord the same thing after I leave this place!"

"Yes master! Oh ya! Apart from that, I've been trying to poke for more information about the third test from the overlord for you!"

"Did you get anything from him?"

According to the agreement, Chen Xiaobei would be assigned as the new owner of the South Town Star Temple if he could complete all three tests given by the overlord. Additionally, he would also be given the herbs that he needed to cure Wenren Muyue. Fixing the portal was the second test. Once the overlord knew that the portal had been fixed, he would surely give the Chen Xiaobei the third test right away. If Chen Xiaobei could prepare beforehand, he would gain the advantage of completeingthe test in the shortest time possible.

"I have no idea on what's the third test is going to be for now. The only thing that I can tell you is that the overlord will come to Atlantis personally when he is informed that the portal is fixed. At the same time, that's when he will give the third test to you!"

"What? The overlord is coming to earth?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei could feel that something was off the hook.

"Yes. The overlord wants to travel to earth and I also know that he will bring a team of important people from the temple with him…"

"It seems like… This whole thing is not as simple as I thought it was… Continue to keep an eye on the overlord… Let me know if there are any changes!"

"Yes master!"

…

After that, Chen Xiaobei brought Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang along with him as they travelled to Green Vine City. Chen Xiaobei's Returning Bracelet's returning point was set at his safe zone and it was connected to Violet Reborn Planet. As for Jing Fer's Returning Bracelet, its returning point was set at Chen Xiaobei's safe zone as well and it too was connected to Green Vine City. That was why, Chen Xiaobei, Bai Linsu, and Linghu Shuang had to travel from Green Vine City to the safe zone via Jing Fei's Returning Bracalet. They could then travel back from the safe zone to Violet Reborn Planet via Chen Xiaobei's Returning Bracelet.

Complicated as it might sound, this was the fastest way to travel to Violet Reborn Planet. After all, the reason why Bai Linsu could fix the portal was due to the fact she had stolen a piece of Spatial Spiritual Crystal from Yi Family. The Yi Family's influence ran deep and they were on good terms with the overlord. One could imagine that every portal that connected to Violet Reborn Planet was heavily guarded to make sure that Bai Linsu would never be able to escape again under their watch.

Considering the fact that they were about to travel to the planet where Yi Family resided, the risk of getting caught had now dropped significantly as they were not travelling via portal.

....

After the plan was set, they wasted no time and travelled to the safe zone. First, Chen Xiaobei released Xiangyu, Six-Eared Macaque, the Black Waster Mystical Snake, the three Demonic Beast Kings, and Osnur from the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd. There were now seven demigods with God Ascension cultivation gathered at Bei Xuan Faction. If only Li Xiang was here, could Chen Xiaobei have formed an Eight Guardians Formation. With all these powerful elites present, Bei Xuan Faction would now be considered as one of the most powerful factions in the Northern Wilderness Starfield.

Though Bei Xuan Faction was really powerful, the threat Chen Xiaobei was most worried about was still here. Before he travelled to Emperor Qin's tomb, Xiao Tianquan had told him that Shen Gongpao was going to send more people to kill him, and they might be able to find their way to his safe zone. That was why Chen Xiaobei was willing to put his life at greater risk by leaving the three Demonic Beast Kings at Bei Xuan Faction.

The thing that left him baffled the most was that the enemies who were supposed to come for him were not here yet. As long as that threat still existed, Chen Xiaobei would have to leave the three Demonic Beast Kings here. In other words, he would not be able to ask them to protect him. Of course, Chen Xiaobei did not actually need their protection right now. With the evolution of the Chaos Blood Sword and 190 million pieces of Spiritual Stones, he was powerful enough to protect himself from most threats. Besides, he still had the alliance he made with Emperor Qin and his armies. Let's not forget that he still had his Blood God's Deity Killing painting with him. With all things considered, it would be safe to say that Chen Xiaobei was now powerful enough to kill a demigod.

Truth be told, Chen Xiaobei could actually kill the overlord whenever he wanted to. However, he would never do such a thing as he knew that the entire Northern Wilderness Starfield would fall into chaos the moment the overlord dies. By that time, enemies from other starfields would come to conquer it, and earth could be suffer greatly from the ensuing war since earth itself was connected to the Northern Wilderness Starfield.

Instead of killing the overlord, Chen Xiaobei would rather give him a piece of Heavenly Dog Biscuit. Right now, this matter was not his priority. He needed to focus on safely escorting Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang back to Green Hill Planet. Besides, Chen Xiaobei eagerly wanted to know if the Green Hill Empress's baby was indeed the reincarnated Little Fox that he had dearly missed.

...

At Green Hill Starfield, Violet Reborn Planet.

Chen Xiaobei, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang walked out from the portal and returned to the hotel that they left in a rush the last time. The entire hotel was forced to close down for an investigation due to the events that had happened not too long ago. In other words, the hotel had now become the safest place on Violet Reborn Planet.

"We are now back here. The problem is… how are we supposed to leave this place?" asked Bai Linsu.

"I have an idea." Said Chen Xiaobei.

"Tell us what you have in mind?!" asked Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang in a hasty manner.

"The safest and fastest way to travel to Green Hill Planet is from the Violet Reborn Planet's portal!"

"What a load of bullshit! Of course we know that! Me and my Sifu's 'wanted' posters are all over the streets! How are we supposed to show our faces in public? We will be surrounded by our enemies the moment we do that!" said Linghu Shuang.

"It's true that the two of you are the most wanted people on this planet! But as for me, I'm nowhere near wanted! Everything will be solved when I go through the portal!"

"Brother! Can you please pay more attention to this matter? My Sifu and I are the ones who want to travel to Green Hill Planet! Not you!"

"Idiots! Have you forgotten that I have this item with me?"

Chen Xiaobei smiled and took out the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd.

"Oh! I understand now! You are going to put me and my Sifu into this gourd!"

"Go into the gourd? How's that even possible?" asked Bai Linsu.

Left in awe, it was hard for Bai Linsu to believe that such a magical item existed in this universe.

"So, you don't believe me? I'm going to make you both to go inside the gourd now! All you need to do is say yes to me and you will know that I'm telling the truth!"

"Yes!"

Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang answered at the same time.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Seconds later, both of them were absorbed into the gourd. With his hands holding the gourd, Chen Xiaobei could hear everything they said inside his gourd.

"Oh my god… We… We are now in a different dimension… This is simply unbelievable…" said Bai Linsu.

"Wow! So magical I must say! I saw it once Big Brother Chen absorbing the Demonic Beasts into the gourd! It looks like we are the ones in it this time! This is getting more and more interesting!" exclaimed Linghu Shuang.

"What now? Now, you believe me, right? Let me bring you guys to the portal now! If everything goes smooth, I'm pretty sure that the two of you will get to meet the empress today!"

"I feel like the empress' child belongs to you! Why do you care about this matter more than my Sifu and me?" said Linghu Shuang.

"Shuang'er! No more nonsense! We are about to head back to Green Hill Planet! Watch your words! If the empress heard what you said just now, I don't think I will be able to protect you!" said Bai Linsu.

"Yes Sifu!"

Linghu Shuang knew the importance of what her Sifu had just told her. During such serious moments, she would definitely not fool around with it.

"Mr. Chen! Your idea is good! You will get yourself in trouble if others spot you in Green Hill Planet!" said Bai Linsu.

"Don't you worry about that! I know what I'm doing. Have faith!"

With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei took out a mask from his Infinite Space Ring. After putting on the mask, Chen Xiaobei transformed into an old man that no one could recognize. He then took out a long black robe and shrouded it over himself.

.....

After that, Chen Xiaobei left the hotel. Just like what he had expected, Bai Linsu's and Linghu Shuang's wanted posters were all over the street. To make matters worse, the bounty for capturing them was one billion lower-grade Spiritual Stones! Over here, one could only imagine how precious the Spatial Spiritual Crystal was to them! At the same time, Chen Xiaobei got to know that Yi Family was extremely rich too.

One billion lower-grade Spiritual Stones!

There were only a handful of extremely powerful factions or families that could come up with such an astronomical amount of Spiritual Stones. Considering that Bai Linsu was an elite that was as powerful as the overlord, the bounty that was set for her capture seemed at the moment, pretty much justified.

"Sister Bai, you are considered as part of the royal family. The Yi Family has no right to put your wanted posted everywhere on the street!" said Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei was communicating with them telepathically. Hence, he did not need to worry about others eavesdropping on them.

"My relationship with the empress is really special!! It's a secret! That's why I can't reveal my true identity to others! Because of that, Yi Family is not afraid of me!" replied Bai Linsu.

"What kind of relationship? Why is it a secret?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"It's classified! All I can tell you is I'm the empress' most trusted ally! I'm supposed to investigate a mysterious case that she assigned to me! Before I find out the secrets of the case, I can never reveal my identity to others!"

"Okay! I understand now! Using earth language, you are like an undercover agent! You are supposed to stay in the dark to collect intel for the empress!"

"Yes! That's my task!"

"Will there be wanted posters on Green Hill Planet since you can't reveal your true identity to the public?"

"That's not something you should be worried about! Someone will come and pick me up later!"

"Great! I can see the portal in front of me! Talk later!"

Chen Xiaobei kept the gourd into his ring and calmly walked towards the portal.

…..

A huge number of were inspecting the all the people that went through the portal to make sure that they would not miss Bai Linsu. There was a long line when Chen Xiaobei arrived at the portal. He had to wait for two hours before getting his turn.

"What's your name? Where did you come from? Where are you going?" asked an elder from Yi Family.

"My name is Chen Zhufeng. I come from Northern Wilderness Starfield! I want to go to Green Hill's main city to purchase some spices!"

"Hand me your Spatial Ring! I want to check it!"

"Huh? You didn't check the ring of the people in front of me! Why do you want to check mine?!"

"Why am I checking you?" The man spat, "I am the Eighteenth Elder of the Lu family, Yi Dang! I suspect that you are Bai Linsu's accomplice! Why check you? Hey… listen. I can even kill you if I want!"

"Bai Linsu? I don't know even who is this person you're talking about! How could I be her accomplice?" Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows.

In Chen Xiaobei's Infinite Space Ring bore a copious amount of Spiritual Stones, and an abundance of special trump cards.

Whether or not the enemy could find Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang aside, just the resources inside the gourd alone was enough to make anyone envious.

The amount of Spiritual Stones inside the ring would be enough of a temptation for the Elder Lu! Known for his tyrannical ways of dealing with these matters, he was not going to let Chen Xiaobei off the hook so easily!

On top of that, Chen Xiaobei also had in his possession the Blood Chaos Sword and the Blood God's Deity Killing painting – two One-star Earth-God Instrument! Should this information be brought into the open, the strongest of Violet Reborn Planet would come and compete for it.

In starfields ranked below Earth God, Earth-God instruments were extremely precious and prized assets – enough to cause a calamitous bloodshed!

That was why Chen Xiaobei could not allow Yi Dang the slightest opportunity to even sneak a peak into his Infinite Space Ring.

"Old timer, just cooperate a little!" A young man behind suddenly said. "You are not local and you have a very unfamiliar face! It makes sense that Yi Dang would suspect you! Just try to be a little more cooperative! There are a lot of people lining up behind us who are waiting to be inspected!"

"Yeah! Old man, hurry up and let Elder Yi Dang check already! Don't delay us and waste everyone's time!"

"Hurry up! I've been lining up for almost three hours already! Don't keep us all waiting!"

"He's just going to check your possessions! It's nothing! Unless you have something to hide, you shouldn't be afraid to be searched!"

There were indeed a huge number of people waiting in line. Those at the back had already run out of patience and were shouting in frustration.

Yi Dang glanced at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Old man, you heard them! You either let me check or confess that you are an accomplice with Bai Linsu so I can lock you up in our jail!"

"Fine! I'll let you check!" Chen Xiaobei agreed to Yi Dang's request. He did not want this matter to be blown out of proportion.

This was not his first time being inspected anyway.

Chen Xiaobei then quickly stuffed everything inside his Infinite Space Ring into a Red Envelope to be sent to Monkey King. Problem solved.

But!

There was a big problem!

Ding –

Immortal Dark Demon cannot be put into the Red Envelope!

"What the hell is Immortal Dark Demon?"

Chen Xiaobei took a quick look and found out that it was Ying Zheng's black coffin.

It actually made sense that the coffin was not allowed to be inserted into the Red Envelope.

When Zheng Ying ended the war, he had managed to unify China, quell the flames of war and granted peace to hundreds of millions of people.

Although the peace did not last long, before Zheng Ying died, there was no war in the whole of China. It was nothing short of a great deed.

When Chen Xiaobei stopped the war between one million people and one million Demonic Beasts, he had received a lot of merit points.

Based on that fact, it would mean that Zheng Ying would have received an even bigger amount of merit points and he could become an Earth God right away.

However, the Jade Emperor was jealous, and had poisoned Zheng Ying! This behaviour was completely against the Laws of Heaven. The good should always be rewarded.

If word about this incident get out, Diao Hong would most likely investigate the whole thing.

In order to protect himself, the Jade Emperor misused his authority and turned Zheng Ying into an Immortal Dark Demon, so that he could be kept out of heavenly realm forever!

This was done in order for the Jade Emperor to sit back and relax, and not worry about the consequences should the Ancestral Lord be alarmed.

But that also had become Chen Xiaobei's problem.

"Old man! Why are you just standing there? Hand over your Infinite Space Ring!" Yi Dang pushed harder.

Ding –

[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 309 years; Health: 180,000; Combat power: 180,000]

Chen Xiaobei checked Yi Dang's strength, and said coldly, "I've changed my mind! I don't want to allow you to search me!"

"What? You stupid old man! You're refusing to be inspected?! That means you admit to the crime!" Yi Dang roared. "Everyone, listen up! We've found Bai Linsu's accomplice! Only the Lu family members stay. Those who are unrelated can either leave or be taken away together with this man!"

Immediately, everyone fled, getting as far away from here as they could.

Only Yi Dang, and about a dozen of the private army of Yi Family were left.

"Stupid old man! Are you not going to surrender to arrest?"

Yi Dang signalled with a finger for the soldiers to draw out their weapons and surround Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei looked around him and said, "I just wanted to use the portal! I do not want any trouble!"

"You refused inspection and now you're claiming that you don't want any trouble?" Yi Dang roared.

"Oh, you got yourself into really big trouble!"

The roar was like an attack signal where all the soldiers immediately channelled their True Qi and pointed their weapons at Chen Xiaobei.

The crowd who had evacuated the scene could be heard exclaiming, "Could that old man really be Bai Linsu's accomplice?"

"Do you have to ask? He's being surrounded by a dozen of people but still, he refused to be inspected! Even a fool would not believe that he's not connected to Bai Linsu!"

"I think that old man is an idiot for going against the most powerful family in Purple Reborn Planet! Isn't that suicide?"

"He really is stupid! The Yi Family have been conducting such a tight search, and this old man puts himself in front of the muzzle! How could he not be dead?!"

Hearing the discussion of the audience, the smile on Yi Dang's face only broadened. "Listen up! Capture this old man alive and I will reward you handsomely!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers charged eagerly towards Chen Xiaobei. Seemingly, they would not rest till the order was executed.

Even though there were a dozen men coming for him, Chen Xiaobei wanted to laugh. "What a bunch of idiots. You want to catch me?"

Yi Dang, the eighteenth Elder of the Lu family was only at early phase of Ethereal Cultivation and most of these soldiers were at True Nirvana cultivation. Only their leader was at Celestial Cultivation.

Chen Xiaobei had already broken through to Ethereal Cultivation.

These people were nothing to Chen Xiaobei.

"Kneel before me!"

Chen Xiaoebei channelled his Ethereal Force in his body and borrowed strength from the Force of Nature!

"Tha… That's the Force of Nature!"

The soldiers screamed in horror.

The terrifying force landed on them. Half of it was from the heaven and the other half was from earth. Soon, dozens of them were like dead meat on the chopping board. None of them could move a single muscle and they were forced to kneel on the ground.

Chen Xiaobei announced in a voice that could freeze hell over, "I will only say this one more time – you either open the portal and let me leave, or I'll kill everyone here!"

"What?! You want to kill all of us?! Hahaha… You stupid old man, is something wrong with your brain? How does anyone say something so stupid?" said Yi Dang while chcukling arrogantly.

At the same time, all the bystanders around Chen Xiaobei started to laugh at him as well.

"This old man is really a dumbass! Judging by the skill that he used just now, I can safely say that he is only an elite with Ethereal cultivation! How dare he act in such an arrogant manner in front of Yi Family?!"

"You are right! Any of the elders in Yi Family can squash him like an ant!"

"Yi Family is the most powerful family on Violent Reborn Planet! Not even Bai Linsu with God Ascension cultivation would dare to announce that she is going to kill everyone here!"

"I don't think this old man is Bai Linsu's ally! She is smart enough to ditch a dumbass like him! Hahaha…"

"It makes sense! He's not worthy to become Bai Linsu's ally! Hahaha…"

No one around Chen Xiaobei would take him seriously. Though Chen Xiaobei was an Ethereal cultivated elite and he could kill all those people who laughed at him with ease, the average cultivation of the people at Green Hill Starfield was better than that of the Northern Wilderness Starfield. There were a lot of Ethereal cultivated elites here in this starfield. To them, only elites with God Ascension cultivation could put fear in them. That was why Chen Xiaobei was naturally nothing more than a joke to them.

"So, you guys are not going to activate the portal, right?"

Faced with laughter, Chen Xiaobei had already started to gather his murderous intent. Though he was just an Ethereal cultivated elite, the items that he possessed allowed him to kill anyone below Earth God cultivation.

"Stupid old man! Stop your arrogance! I'm talking about you! Even if Bai Linsu herself is here, I will still not activate the portal for you!"

"If that's the case. Don't blame me for mercilessly killing you later!"

With his gaze fixed, Chen Xiaobei channeled his Ethereal Force once again to borrow strength from the Force of Nature to strike at his enemies.

Blarggh…

Blarggh…

Blarggh…

Dozens of guards of Yi Family started to vomit blood due to a curiously immense pressure that they were experiencing right now. Never the later, they bones started to crack as well. It seemed like it was all going down soon. Though Ethereal cultivation was common here, one should never underestimate the crushing force that could be brought forth by an Ethereal cultivated elite. As long as Chen Xiaobei continued to exert pressure on them, they would soon turn into a pile of dead meat.

"F*cking old man! How dare you kill my man in front of me?! Do you not believe that I will kill you right now?!"

Suddenly, Yi Dang let out a loud roar and he too borrowed the force of nature, ready to take a strike at Chen Xiaobei. Considering that Yi Dang's cultivation was similar with Chen Xiaobei, he managed to cancel out Chen Xiaobei's skill with ease. Before they realized it, the immense pressure that was applied to them was now gone.

"Elder Yi Dang is the best… Elder Yi Dang is the most powerful elite… Thank you for saving our lives!"

"Elder Yi Dang, I beg you to kill that son of a bitch to avenge me!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Clearly, the dozens of people that was hurt by Chen Xiaobei desperately wanted him dead.

"Everyone calm down! This old man will die here no matter what! As long as I'm here, he will not be able to hurt a single soul! The family will know what happens here really soon! I just need to wait for the other elders to come here and we can all kill him together! Hahaha…"

Upon hearing that, all the guards got even more excited.

"Long live Elder Yi Dang! Long live Elder Yi Dang! Going against our Elder Yi Dang is the dumbest move ever! Hahaha!"

Swoosh!

Suddenly, all those who were laughing at Chen Xiaobei could feel a breeze of cold air brushing through them. They could not help but feel that something lethal was coming at them. It was none other than Chen Xiaobei! He was holding his black blade and swiftly charged at the guards. Though the force of nature was gone, Chen Xiaobei could still eliminate them by employing other methods.

"You old bastard! With me here, don't dream of killing my people!"

Yi Dang shouted and started to channel silver Ethereal force to both of his hands. Two silver swords were assembled into two silver blades to block Chen Xiaobei's attack.

"Luckily, Elder Yi Dang is here… If not, we would all have been dead!" exclaimed all the guards.

"Silver Storm!"

Yi Dang shouted and the silver light on both of his swords started getting brighter and brighter. Soon enough, it covered Chen Xiaobei completely. Seemingly, the storm was powerful enough to destroy Chen Xiaobei into pieces.

"Yo stinky trash! Can you block my attack?!"

Faced with such a mighty attack, Chen Xiaobei responded with a simple slash!

Swoosh!

The Silver Storm was cut into half when Chen Xiaobei landed his sword on it. The 180,000 combat-power Silver Storm was completely dismissed.

Blarggh…

Yi Dang threw up a mouthful of warm blood and was sent flying away.

"How… How is that even possible? We have the same cultivation! Why is your combat power higher than me?"

Shocked and demoted, Yi Dang could not believe in what he just saw. Judging by the force of nature that Chen Xiaobei borrowed and the aura on him, Yi Dang was confident that Chen Xiaobei's cultivation was at an early phase of Ethereal cultivation.

However!

The attack that Chen Xiaobei dropped on him was more powerful than Ethereal cultivation's attack. None of his enemies could figure out what was going on with him. The truth was, that Chen Xiaobei had just used the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement technique to boost his attack. After he consumed the Dark Neutron, his health was boosted to 250,000! That was why he could boost his attack so much to defeat Yi Dang.

"Laugh! Laugh at me please! I dare you guys! Go and beg Yi Dang to save all of you! I'm not sure he can do that anymore!"

"Elder Yi Dang! Save us… Save us please!" begged all the guards ignoring Chen Xiaobei.

Unfortunately, in an awful turn of events, Yi Dang chose to run away instead of saving them! Clearly, he had no regard of their lives.

"Those who help me to open the portal will live to see tomorrow!"

Immediately, all the guards rushed to the control panel to open the portal for Chen Xiaobei.

"Traitors! Waste of our resources!"

Suddenly, a loud roar could be heard and every single guard there was destroyed by a force of nature.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

The bodies of the soldiers exploded, splattering blood, and shredded flesh flew all over the place with bloody rain ensuing. It was a gruesome sight to behold.

From this terrifying destruction, it was obvious that this person's cultivation was much higher than that of Yi Dang and Chen Xiaobei!

From the direction of the sound came ten middle-aged men.

Among them was Yi Dang who had just taken to his heels, seething with anger. "Brothers and elders, the person who hurt is that stupid old man in front! He's Bai Linsu's accomplice! We cannot let him get away!"

The brothers that Yi Dang addressed were the core Elders of the Yi Family.

"It looks like, I won't be able to get away unless I end this with the Yi Family!" Chen Xiaobei peered at the approaching men, peering into their strengths.

Most of them were at the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation with 200,000 combat power!

The two in the front, however, were obviously one rank higher than the others.

Ding –

[Cultivation: Middle phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 403years; Health: 270,000; Combat power: 270,000]

This person's name was Yi Hui, the second Core Elder of the Lu family.

[Cultivation: Latter phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 518 years; Health: 300,000; Combat power: 300,000]

This person was Yi Jian, the eldest Core Elder of the Lu family.

Chen Xiaobei could handle those whose combat power was around 200,000 on his own; but these two, Yi Jian and Yi Hui, had exceeded Chen Xiaobei's range of control. He would need to employ his trump card for this fight!

"Old bastard! Our Yi Family's core leaders are all here. Why aren't you getting down on your knees and begging for mercy?" Yi Dang glared steely at Chen Xiaobei.

"The person who should be kneeling are you people!" Chen Xiaobei said in a cavalier tone. The trump card in his hands was enough for him to face all of the Lu family Elders without even breaking a sweat.

The onlookers did not know this though.

Taken aback by Chen Xiaobei's confidence, they stared at him as if he was the world's biggest idiot.

The Yi Family was the most powerful family on Violet Reborn Planet.

Chen Xiaobei was the first person on Violet Reborn Planet to ever to tell the Elders of the Yi family to kneel before him!

The Elders' shocked reactions were expected, feeling both greatly insulted and challenged.

"Hey old fart! I told you kneel, which also means you're not allowed to stand!"

Yi Hui stepped out and channeled his Ethereal Force to achieve 270,000 combat power. He was going to direct the Force of Nature to crush Chen Xiaobei. Seemingly, his strength was way more powerful than Chen Xiaobei and Yi Dang.

Logically speaking, given the fact his strength was one rank higher than Chen Xiaobei's, it should be enough to render Chen Xiaobei immobilized.

Yet!

What no one thought would happen actually happened: Chen Xiaobei was completely unaffected! He just stood there wearing a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Wh… what is happening?" Yi Hui gasped. "Yi Dang! Didn't you say that his old man only has 200,000 combat power? Why can't I put any pressure on him?

"I… I don't know either…" Yi Dang was fumbling for words. "If he was as strong as you, I would have been dead already."

"That's really strange…" Yi Hui frowned while scratching his head.

"Kneel down now!"

The eldest Core Elder Yi Jian came forward also as he quickly channeled his 300,000 combat power towards Chen Xiaobei.

"My goodness. Even our eldest Elder is getting involved. This would be truly a scary Force of Nature. Take a few steps back! Clear the area of we'll get entangled in it!"

The crowd who had stayed to watch quickly retreated further, afraid that they might fall victim to Yi Jian's attack!

"Haha! Big Bro is going to strike! I don't think that old man can even stand after this!" Yi Hui and Yi Dang burst into hysterical laughter.

The other Yi family elders watched with anticipation, waiting to see Chen Xiaobei getting overwhelmed and eventually falling to his knees, while pleading for his life.

What happened next however, was completely out of everyone's expectation!

"You are a useless bunch!"

Not only was Chen Xiaobei completely unaffected, but he even challenged them further. "Get the master of your house Yi Mozhi. Only he could be my worthy opponent!"

Everyone was flabbergasted by the casual and brazen manner in which he spoke in.

"My god! That old man! Who the hell is he anyway?! How is he this powerful?!"

"Yeah! He'd hidden his true strength really well! We couldn't even tell!"

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen then! This old man is requesting to fight the master of the Yi Family. It looks like he's at least a demigod with God Ascension cultivation!"

"There is a saying that goes, 'Don't cross the river unless you're a brave dragon'. It looks like the Yi Family has finally met their match!"

Just like that, the audience had turned in favor of Chen Xiaobei!

Instead of seeing his as a stupid retard, they now saw his as the brave dragon that crossed the river, powerful enough to crush the serpent which was the Yi Family!

"Ho… How could this be?"

All the Yi family members were struck dumb. They had never imagined that something like that would ever happen… not in a thousand years.

The eldest Elder, Yi Jian and the second Elder Yi Hui's faces were in an angry purplish red.

Useless!

To a cultivator, that was the ultimate insult.

Chen Xiaobei had just called them a 'useless bunch' but they dared not retaliate, much less even to fart!

Common sense had told them that Chen Xiaobei's cultivation should at least the same as theirs as their Force of Nature was useless against him.

Instead, Chen Xiaobei called the master of Yi Family out for a fight!

This could only mean that Chen Xiaobei was far stronger than this group of Elders.

The principle of the universe was that the weak are the prey of the strong.

The Elders thought that Chen Xiaobei was stronger than they were so they dared not even speak up against him when he called them 'useless'.

"Yi Dang! Contact the master of our house now!" Yi Jian instructed.

"Yes!" Yi Dang immediately took out an interstellar cellular phone.

Chen Xiaobei saw this happen but he did not stop them nor did he make a run for it!

This was because if he walked away, the master of the Yi Family would go after him, and it might affect Bai Linsu's plans to visit the Empress.

Since the situation had already deteriorated to this stage, Chen Xiaobei decided to just get rid of this nuisance that was the Yi Family, so that he could walk away with peace of mind.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh~

Right after Yi Dang finished his call, three loud explosions shocked him from far. It was so loud that the sound had almost made everyone go deaf.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Seconds later, three people dropped from the sky like meteors. The impact had caused the ground to shatter with dust sent flying all aroudn them, high up to the sky. Immediately, everyone had their gaze fixed on the three powerful elites. Seemingly, one of them was the head of Yi Family and the other two were his personal guardians.

These three elites were demigods with God Ascension cultivation and the Yi Family's head, Yi Mozhi was largely considered the most powerful individual on Violet Reborn Planet.

"Where are Bai Linsu's allies?!" shouted Yi Mozhi in an angry manner.

"That old bastard is her ally! I wanted to check his Spatial Ring but he refused to let me do it! I said that he is Bai Linsu's ally and he didn't say no as well!" said Yi Dang while pointing at Chen Xiaobei.

"Him?"

Immediately, Yi Mozhi and two of his Guardians looked at Chen Xiaobei. At first, they were curious of what he must have looked like. The moment they saw Chen Xiaobei's 'old-man' look, they started to act in a condescending manner.

"Yi Dang! How old are you?! You handle matters like a child! He is just a piece of old junk! Why did you call the head of the family to come here?!" said ons Guardian who stood on the left side.

"Guardian, please don't underestimate him! The grand elder and the second elder attempted to use the combined force of nature to deal with him but it proved futile!" said Yi Dang.

"How did that happen? Let me try him! I want to know how powerful he really is!"

Phisshh…

Immediately, the Guardian which stood on the right side took a step forward and started to channel his Ethereal Force into his entire body. Seconds later, everyone could notice the sky turning dark and something sinister festering.

It was a tornado, and it was hundreds of times more severe than Yi Jian's and Yi Hui's!

Upon seeing that, all the bystanders began to retreat to a safer spot to witness the battle. One should know that the Guardian was now charging his Ethereal Force. The whole place would be levelled when he unleashed his ultimate skill.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of God Ascension. Lifespan: 1,129. Health: 750,000. Combat power: 750,000!]

In order to win in this battle, Chen Xiaobei had to use his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check on his opponent. He had to admit that almost all the elites at Green Hill Starfield were extremely powerful, and this was just a guardian that lived far from the main planet. His cultivation was at least ten times more powerful than the most powerful elite on earth. It wouldn't be impossible that the most powerful elite from Green Hill Starfield could destroy the entire palnet earth with only a snap of a finger.

"Kneel down!"

The Guardian shouted and started to synchronize his Ethereal Force with the force of nature. An apocalyptic attack was about to land on Chen Xiaobei. The Guardian had no intention to save his strength. Only by defeating Chen Xiaobei with only a single attack would be able to salvage the reputation that the Yi Family lost earlier.

However!

A 750,000 combat-powered elite was still not powerful enough to make Chen Xiaobei flinch.

"Hehe! And you call yourself the Guardian of Yi Family? What kind of weakass attack is that? Are you trying to use the attack to scratch my back?" said Chen Xiaobei in a calm and sarcastic manner.

"How… How is that even possible?"

Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not affected by the Guardian's attack, everyone was left in awe. It was now safe for them to assume that Chen Xiaobei was indeed as powerful as the Guardians or even more powerful than them!

"Left Guardian! Work with me! Let's try to attack him again! I'm pretty sure that we will be able to kill him if we work together!"

Initially, the Guardian on the right wanted to salvage Yi Family's reputation but he had failed miserably. Filled with anger, he now was forced to work together with the left Guardian to do a final face saving act.

"No problem! This old man is not from Green Hill! There are only a handful of people more powerful than me from a lower-tier planet, and I'm pretty sure this old junk is not one of them!" said the Left Guardian.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Middle phase of God Ascension. Lifespan: 1,303. Health: 800,000. Combat power: 800,000!]

Chen Xiaobei was left in shock after he had examined the Left Guardian's cultivation.

800,000 combat power!

He was as powerful as the Tyrant Dragon King! That would mean he was powerful enough to kill any elite with an early phase of God Ascension cultivation. It was no wonder that he was so confident that he could defeat Chen Xiaobei with ease.

Just as the two Guardians were about to work together to kill Chen Xiaobei, the head of the Yi Family stopped them.

"Your attack will do nothing to him! Take a look at the bronze mirror that the old man is holding! It is a magical Spiritual Item! Your combined force of nature attack will not be able to crush him!" said Yi Mozhi.

Immediately, everyone shifted their attention on Chen Xiaobei's right hand. They could see an ancient mirror with countless Asura faces crafted on it.

This item was Asura Divine Mirror and it was given by Acheron! It allowed the user to nullify all attacks with a trapping ability that had been crafted by elites who were under Earth God cultivation.

"I understand now! That old junk does not have God Ascension cultivation! He is relying on the Spiritual Item to nullify the force of nature! His combat power is only at 200,000!" said Yi Dang.

"Motherf*cker! You crook! How dare you call us useless bastards earlier?! Let us go and capture him! After capturing him, we will torture him! This is the price that he has to pay for lying to us!" said Yi Jian and Yi Hui.

"Go ahead! You two are powerful enough to do so!" said Yi Mozhi.

The two of them started to walk towards Chen Xiaobei.

"Old junk, you only have 200,000 combat power, right?" asked Yi Jian.

"That's right! 200,000 is my maxed out combat power!"

"F*cker! Kneel down since you've told us your combat power!" shouted Yi Hui.

"Maybe the two of you should kneel down in front of me instead! Perhaps, I might just spare your lives!" replied Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face."Motherf*cker! Are you insane?! Your combat power is only at 200,000! How dare you speak to us in such an arrogant manner?!"

Burning with anger, Yi Jian and Yi Hui had lost all their patience. Earlier, they were worried that Chen Xiaobei was hiding his true strength and that was why they had held back from attacking him. After knowing that Chen Xiaobei was way weaker than them, they would definitely not retreat anymore.

Phissh!

Phissh!

Yi Jian and Yi Hui channeled their Ethereal Force at the same time. One of them utilized Earth Ethereal Force and the other one emplyed the powers of Water Ethereal Force. Of course, these were not to be underestimated. Soon, two Ethereal Forces materialized into a war bear and a python. Floating high up in the sky, they were about to drop on Chen Xiaobei.

Upon seeing that, all the bystanders could feel that fear creeping into their hearts. They could not help but feel their hearts beating real fast. Though Yi Jian and Yi Hui were not demigods, their cultivation was still way higher than Chen Xiaobei. Right now, cultivation did not mean anything to Chen Xiaobei anymore for he had the guts to stand here to face elites that were way more powerful than him.

"Hmph! You can do whatever you want! My painting will annihilate you with ease!"

In a composed state of mind, Chen Xiaobei swung his hand tossed the painting into the sky.

Woo!!

Aoo!!!

The sounds of hundreds of thousands of spirits wailing could suddenly be heard when the painting was unveiled. It was as if the gates of hell had opened. Soon after that, the whole place tuned blood-red. Everyone could feel a strong murderous intent hovering ominously in the air. Seemingly, the entire place was about to turn into a killzone for evil spirits.

"Oh my lord… What… What is going on?"

Upon seeing that, everyone was scared to death. Their pupils contracted, hearts beating extremely fast, perspiring with cold sweat, and their hands and feet had turned cold as well. Clearly, the immense force that was exerted by the painting had managed to tremble everyone's state of mind. All of them felt as if they had been tossed into a cold and dark abyss. The temperature around them had dropped so drastically they felt like they would be frozen in a matter of seconds. Not even the landing of three elites with God Ascension cultivation could bring forth such an impact.

"This… How is this even possible… We… Why can't we move? What the hell is going on?"

The fear that had manifested in Yi Jian's and Yi Hui's hearts were far greater than all the other people. That was because Yi Jian and Yi Hui were completely paralyzed and could not move a single muscle. Their bodies were constricted by crimson flames that came out from the ground. The two of them could feel themselves being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of evil spirits and they would tear them into pieces any second now.

"Help… Family Head Yi, please save us… We don't want to die…"

Even before the Blood God's Illusions made their appearance, Yi Jian and Yi Hui were ready to surrender to Chen Xiaobei.

"Let me go and save them!"

Yi Dang shouted and readied himself to bring the rest of the Yi Family' elders to rescue Yi Jian and Yi Hui.

"Stand right there! Can you at least think about it first before you do anything? Do you really think the few of you can break that crimson formation?!" shouted Yi Mozhi.

"Formation? That kid just used a Spiritual Item! I don't think it's a formation!" said Yi Dang.

"So naïve! Do you really think a Spiritual Item can come up with such a terrifying force?! If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that an ancient formation is hiding inside the painting!"

"A formation hiding in the painting? How is that even possible?"

Yi Dang and the rest of the people were shocked to hear that.

"It's not as simple as that! That is an Earth-God level formation!" said Yi Mozhi.

"What?!! Earth-God level?!!"

Everyone was left in bewilderment when they heard how powerful the formation was. Immediately, everyone had the urge to kneel down and beg Chen Xiaobei to spare their lives after they heard Yi Mozhi telling them an Earth-God formation had been hiding within the painting.

"But! Due to certain factors, the formation is not complete! Judging from its pressure and energy wave, I can safely say that the formation can only trap elites that are below demigod cultivation!" said Yi Mozhi.

Still, Yi Mozhi's explaination of the whole thing to them did little to disperse their great fear of the macabre painting.

"Let me prove to you if you don't believe me!"

Without a single doubt, Yi Mozhi walked towards the crimson zone.

"Family head! Don't risk it!" shouted the Left and Right Guardians at the same time.

Ignoring them however, Yi Mozhi continued to move forward which proved that he could move freely in the formation.

"See that? This formation cannot trap me!" said Yi Mozhi with a smirk.

Immediately, everyone started to cheer.

"Our family head is the best! His experience has allowed him figure out the whole thing! I'm truly impressed!"

"This is great! Now, our family head can squash this old junk with his finger!"

"That old shit just is so dead! Hahaha…"

...

"It's not necessary for our family head to deal with him! Let me kill him instead!" said the Right Guardian while running towards the formation.

"Right Guardian! This is not right! You can't reap all the glory by yourself!" said the Left Guardian.

Before everyone realized it, the three most powerful elites had already stepped into the crimson zone.

"I was just thinking on how in the world would I be able to lure the three of you into my formation! I can't believe that the three of you have come into my formation voluntarily!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.

"Walk into your trap? Hmph! You ugly piece of old junk! As you are going to die soon, you should stop talking shit! I have managed to figure out the whole thing! This is an incomplete formation! With a snap of finger, I can break this formation!" said Yi Mozhi.

"You are right! You did manage to figure the whole thing out! This is indeed an incomplete formation!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

"Why did you act in such cocky manner then? Just kneel down, give me the painting, and tell me where Bai Linsu is and I might just consider sparing your life eh!"

"You want my painting?"

"I want? What did you mean by want? That painting already belongs to me anyway! I'm worthy to own that painting! Useless junk like you are not worthy to have such powerful items in your pathetic possession!"

"You are absolutely right! Only a great and powerful hero like our family head is worthy to possess such a powerful item!" said the Right and the Left Guardians at the same time.

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei seemed completely unaffected by their threats. Instead, he felt like bursting out in laughter.

"Fine! If the three of you can hold on for more than one minute in my formation, I will hand over the painting to you with both of my hands!"

"What? You old junk! How dare you curse us to not survive for more than a minute?! Allow me to kill you right now!" shouted the Left Guardian while channeling his Ethereal Force.

"Kill that son of a bitch! I will take the painting from him!" said the Right Guardian.

"Hmph!"

With a smile on his face, it seemed like Yi Mozhi had no intention of doing it himself. To him, asking two demigods to deal with an incomplete formation and a lowly-cultivated elite was more than enough.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The Right Guardian mustered all the Ethereal Force from his body to form an ultimate attack. One could see his body flowing with bright green Ethereal Force. With 750,000 combat power being pushed to the max, his green Ethereal Force soon turned into a Verdant Divine Bird. It then flew into the sky and charged at the Blood God's Deity Killing painting. The green rays emitted from it was so bright it subdued and neutered away the crimson rays.

Swoosh…

At the same time, the Left Guardian too mustered his metal attribute Ethereal Force. 800,000 combat power was being pushed to the max as well. Soon after that, a patinated bronze claw was formed large enough to cover the sky like a dark cloud. Its target was Chen Xiaobei!

With this kind of destructive force that could destroy the heavens and earth, it was an easy task for the Guardian to kill someone with only 290,000 combat power.

The bystanders were terrified by that they saw.

"This is so scary… So, this is the power of a demigod… People like them with God Ascension cultivation could easily kill thousands of people simply with a snap of a finger!"

"Of course! That old junk is so dead! There's no way that he can survive the attack!"

"The Left and Right Guardians have not fought for a very long time! The old junk should feel honored that he's about to be killed by legendary elites!"

…

Everyone thought that Chen Xiaobei would surely die this time.

But!

During this critical moment, Yi Mozhi frowned.

"Be careful! That old junk still has a trump card under his sleeve!" shouted Yi Mozhi.

However, it was all too late.

Woo…

Woo…

Suddenly, a gust of freezing wind blew past them. To their surprise, the freezing wind turned into blood-red Yin Qi soon after that. Next, the temperature around them fell even more. It was as if they were now being placed in some sort of freezing purgatory. Everyone including the three most powerful elites could not help but feel the piercing chill ravaging their bodies.

This was not an ordinary freezing. Instead, it was a terrifying Yin Freeze! The chill produced from it could penetrate everyone's body. Not even the most powerful elite was immune to this cold.

"What… What the hell is going on?"

Feeling worried, the Left and Right Guardians started to be doubtful.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Thousands of black shadows charged at the Right Guardian's Verdant Divine Bird. Like a rain of arrows, the black shadows penetrated the bird and destroyed it within seconds.

BAM!!!

On the other side, the Left Guardian's giant claw was about to hit Chen Xiaobei!

However!

None of them would have thought that the claw would be forced to stop just three meters from the ground.

What… What the hell is that thing?"

The Left Guardian was shocked to see what had appeared at Chen Xiaobei's side. Everyone could see that a pitch black metal box was sitting right beside him. The metal box was rectangular in shape. Seemingly, it was crafted from some kind of mysterious black metal. There were nine dragon heads carved on the surface on the box and looked like they were protecting what was inside. The height of the box was three meters and that was why the Left Guardian's claw was forced to stop before it could hit the box.

"Family head… What is that thing? How did it manage to stop the Left Guardian's attack of 800,000 combat? This is unbelievable…"

Everyone from Yi Family was spooked and they had to hide behind Yi Mozhi like scared rabbits.

"I have never seen or heard something like that!" said Yi Mozhi after he put some thought into it.

As the most experienced elite here on this planet, they could not believe that Yi Mozhi would say something like that.

"Don't worry! Let me test it out personally!"

Though Yi Mozhi could not figure out what the box was, he was confident he was powerful enough to go against whatever was stored inside the box. He then took a step forward, before he channeled his Ethereal Force and was ready to strike at the box.

Ding!

Chen Xiaobei activated his Netherspirit Battlesocouter to check on Yi Mozhi.

Chen Xiaobei immediately checked Yi Mozhi's true strength using his Netherspirit Battlescouter!

Unless one saw it with their own eyes, one would have never believed it. Once one did, would they be shocked beyond compare!

"This bugger is so damn powerful! No wonder he was able to trap Sister Bai last time!"

Chen Xiaobei knew that Yi Mozhi was strong but did not expect him to be that strong!

Ding!

[Cultivation: Last phase of God Ascension; Lifespan: 1566 years; Health: 1,100,000; Combat power: 1,100,000]

Thus, the power of the Master of Yin family! The strongest of all Violet Reborn Planet! More powerful than the Overlord of Northern Wilderness and Bai Linsu!

With a combat power as much as 1.1 million, Yi Mozhi was unremittingly entitled to be proud!

"So? Are you afraid now?" the corner of Yi Mozhi's lips curved upwards as his Ethereal Force began to simmer. "I don't give a damn what that black box of yours is! This attack will force it to reveal its true form!"

Chen Xiaobei returned the smile. "Heh, if you can really open it, I would have to thank you!"

The black box was the Qin Emperor Ying Zhen's coffin which was forged of the same black metal as the Evil Dragon Doors.

Back in the mausoleum, Feng Aotian failed to even draw a scratch on the door with his mighty sword.

It was only when Chen Xiaobei used his upgraded Chaos Blood Sword that the doors could be broken in.

While Yi Mozhi was far stronger than Feng Aotian, he did not possess the strength of an Earth God and could not possibly break open the coffin!

On top of that, there was the Earth-God level seal that Xu Fu put over the coffin. Even if Chen Xiaobei were to try his hardest, he would have failed in his attempt to break open the unbreakable coffin!

Ying Zhen had been dying to get out, so if Yi Mozhi did in fact manage to open the coffin, both Chen Xiaobei and Ying Zhen would be extremely grateful towards him! He would just be doing them a favor!

Of course, that was just a case of 'if'.

The truth of the matter was, that there was no way he could even crack open the coffin, much less be able to leave any dents or scratches on it!

"Faction leader Chen! Why are even talking to this useless piece of shit? Just kill him already!" A domineering voice suddenly boomed from the black coffin. The dark, hoarse voice raised the hairs of all who heard it.

"Who is it?!" Yi Mozhi was suddenly cautious.

"There's someone inside the black box!"

Everyone's gaze fell on the coffin.

They could see a black sinister figure seeping through the coffin, condensing rapidly. Then a shadow in the form of a human body covered in protruding muscles resembling sharp boulders crawled out of it, its razor sharp claws grabbing the sides of the coffin as it rose to its feet until it was standing a few meters tall! Its ferocious countenance was framed by the two horns protruding from its head, and there were sharp teeth gleaming in its mouth.

There it stood mighty, atop the black coffin and towering above everyone.

The moment the shadow appeared, a strong murderous intent had descended on everyone.

The 1.1 million combat-powered Yi Mozhi was just another piece of trash in the eyes of the ungodly shadow!

"Wh… What is this?"

The people held their breath, eyes widened and pupils shrunken.

"Master, what should we do now?" Left Guardian's and Right Guardian's hearts were racing, and it felt as if there was a mass weighing down on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe. To say that they were not the least bit afraid would be a lie.

"There's no need to rush!" Yi Mozhi said. "This blood-red formation can't trap us anyway. Let's test and see what the black box can do first. If anything happens, we can just retreat. That old fart won't be able to stop us!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That makes a lot of sense, master! No matter how strong that black box is, it can't possibly grow legs and come after us can it?!" the Left Guardian nodded.

The Right Guardian was weaker in strength, so he was apprehensive. "We cannot underestimate our enemy. Let us three kill that kid together! We cannot allow him to take a breather!"

"Mm, let's go and go all out with full power!" Yi Mozhi said covetously, "We just need to kill that old worm and that blood-red formation and the black box will belong to our family! By that time, our power will increase by tenfold and we can finally truly dominate the entire Violet Reborn Planet! When that happens, I will see to it that you are rewarded well!"

Both Guardians were very encouraged to hear this. "Don't worry, master! We will give everything we have and kill that old fart for you!"

The three most powerful men from Yi Family started to channel their Ethereal Force and a huge energy wave could be sensed by everyone.

"Hey! They're going to attack!" Chen Xiaobei turned around to look at the black demon behind him.

The demon spoke in Ying Zhen's voice, "I saw that. You don't have to tell me!"

"You saw it?" Chen Xiaobei hissed. "Then, lend me all ten thousand of your Black Dragon Riders! Those few hundred fools just now are not enough!"

"You want the ten thousand Black Dragon Riders? You'll have to pay me one million low-grade Spiritual Stones then!" Ying Zhen said.

"What? One million Spiritual Stones? This was not in the agreement!"

Yin Zheng shrugged. "I know that. But I don't have any cultivation. So, unless you provide me with the energy, I can't activate the Black Dragon Riders!"

Then how were you able to do it so freely in the mausoleum?" Chen Xiaobei frowned.

"There is an underground Spiritual Path in the mausoleum. It's filled with an endless supply of Spiritual Qi. That's why I could control the Black Dragon Riders anytime I wanted to!"

"Is that true? Are you sure you're not just trying to cheat me for my Spiritual Stones?" Chen Xiaobei said warily.

"Of course it's true!" Ying Zhen was growing impatient. "If that Spiritual Path didn't exist, all the Formations in the mausoleum would not have been able to operate!"

Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment then took out 1 million low-grade Spiritual Stones. "Fine, I believe you! Take these for your Spiritual Qi and lend me the Black Dragon Riders!"

Fwaaaah

Spiritual Stones scattered all over the floor and piled up into a small mountain.

"What is that old man doing?" asked the Left Guardian and the Right Guardian simultaneously.

Yi Mozhi responded, "He must be supplying energy to the black box! I think we'll have a real powerful attack incoming! We have to act now! Kill that old fart before the black box activates!"

"Yes, master!"

The Left and Right Guardians followed closely behind Yi Mozhi, ready to launch an attack.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The one million Spiritual Stones shattered under a tremendous force of pressure, releasing a sea of Spiritual Qi.

Fwaaah

Ying Zhen willed his mind, and the Spiritual Qi entered the black coffin.

"Great!" Ying Zhen said.

Chen Xiaobei roared, "Black Dragon Riders! Kill! For! Me!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Upon Chen Xiaobei's command, tens of thousands of black shadows shot out of the demon's body like swords, flying straight to the surroundings and blocking the skies like a raincloud.

"Kill!" A deafening roar exploded, and the black fog on the surface of the cloud dispersed!

The black shadows came into form, turned into evil spirit armies clad in armour and equipped with halberds.

Suddenly, a giant battle formation of ten thousand spirits could be seen hovering in the skies!

Alive, they conquered six states and helped Emperor Qin dominate the world. They were aptly nicknamed the invincible imperial army!

After they passed away, they became evil spirits and guarded the Emperor's mausoleum. One could say they were unsurpassable martyrs!

Upon emergence of the battle formation, every person who was present felt a powerful tremble in their hearts!

"Ma… Master… What is happening? This is scary… it feels like an Earth God has just landed here. Why don't we retreat…"

The Left and Right Guardian had turned white as ghosts. They had not even started fighting yet, but they had already given up on the battle.

"Don't panic! From the looks of that energy wave, this evil spirit formation has not reached an Earth-God level yet!" Yi Mozhi said, brows furrowed, "Let's test the waters and see! If we can't fight it, we can always retreat!"

"Alright!" Both the Guardians were relieved.

After all, Yi Mozhi was at the later phase of God Ascension, a head-turning 1.1 million combat-powered super elite.

As long as the battle formation before them was not at a demigod level, there was always the option of retreating if they were losing.

Knowing that they had a means of escape, the three men were emboldened.

Hwaaaa!

Yi Mozhi took one step forward, and channeled his Ethereal Force to maximum. Clearly, Yi Mozhi did not dare to underestimate the formation. That was why he used all his 1.1m combat power to deal with the formation. Shaken by his extremely powerful Ethereal Force, the weather around him started to change drastically.

Hwaaaa!

Hwaaaa!

Both Left and Right Guardians also did the same, and channeled their Ethereal Force to the maximum. Seemingly, they had no intention to follow the law of Jianghu. Three people against one was just absurd. Everyone could feel that a massive fight was about to unfold before them.

"This is too scary! Three powerful elites working together to fight with one person – the first time I've seen something like this going down in the 10 years I've been on this planet!"

"I must say that this mysterious old man is incredible! Even Bai Linsu did not get such treatment!"

"Not just them! Look over there! The Hans! The Yuns! Sima! All the powerful elites of Violet Reborn Planets are here!"

"This has turned into such a big commotion. Of course it would draw the attention of all the powerful families! All our planet's Earth Gods might just gather here!"

The crowd exclaimed in hushed whispers of excitement.

On the towers a distance away, the God Ascension cultivated demigods of Violet Reborn Planet were watching, observing the battle.

There was a look of genuine curiosity, unconcealed greed and fanaticism in the eyes of the elites.

They were anticipating Chen Xiaobei and the three elites to slug it out until they both ended up losers so that they could swoop in like vultures and make a profit from it.

Which family would not want to be the most powerful family on Purple Reborn Planet? Which family would not want to be the one that ruled them all?

This was their best chance!

They would be able to get their hands on Chen Xiaobei's treasures and eliminate the Yi family once and for all! By that time, the entire planet would go through a huge change!

"What do you think, Elder Han?" The master of the Yun Family, a silver-haired man asked.

The master of the Han family said, " This formation does not have the power of an Earth God, but it's not weak either! Yi Mozhi only has a 50/50 chance at winning!"

"What about you, Sima?" Mr. Yun asked.

"I think that Yi Mozhi has a slightly higher chance of winning!" The Sima's master stared at the fight. "It takes one million Spiritual Stones to power the formation! Yi Mozhi only needs to be able to hold out against the first wave of attack. The enemy won't have any more Spiritual Stones left to supply the black box!"

"That makes a lot of sense!" Mr. Yun nodded. "I think that Yi Mozhi has a 70% chance of winning. The formation has 30%!"

Everyone's eyes were now trained on Yi Mozhi.

They clearly believed that Yi Mozhi had a higher chance of winning. Once the situation of the battle became clear, they would all attack, killing Yi Mozhi first before grabbing all of Chen Xiaobei's precious belongings.

Rumble! Rumble!

Yi Mozhi and his Guardians had begun their attack.

His Ethereal Force formed a giant, majestic rift a few hundred meters tall. It was as if the sun had come to destroy all that was in its way.

The Left Guardian's Patinated Bronze Demonic Claw and the Right Guardian's Verdant Bird were attacking Chen Xiaobei from the side. They too unleashed all their strength on Chen Xiaobei.

"Hey, old man! Do us a favor and just die!" Yi Mozhi roared, his eyes burning with rage.

"Kill!"

The 10,000 strong evil spirit army roared but did not attack.

Instead, they began to move, changing positions, and arranging themselves into another battle formation!

Hwaaaaa!

The moment the new formation was in place, the Blood God's Deity Killing painting began to resonate, shining down ten thousand rays of blood-red light upon the ten thousand evil spirit army.

In an instant, the already fearsome evil spirit army became even more frightening!

Their armor turned a deep, blood red, and their behaviour grew even more ferocious. A cloak even materialized behind each of them!

The people's minds were so suddenly and violently jolted that they began to hallucinate.

A hazy scene of chaos exploded into their minds where there was splattered blood, rolling heads, frigid severed limbs and slushy internal organs spilt around them… It was nothing short of absolute terror! It was all but hell!

In that instant, everyone's heart was congested with one thing – slaughter! An endless massacre!

All ten thousand of the evil spirit army had turned into the merciless reapers!

They could slaughter everyone at any time, and turn all living creatures into a sea of mutilated flesh and blood.

Yi Mozhi's and the Guardians' attack descended upon the 10,000 blood-red evil spirits in robes.

The outcome however, was completely out of everyone's expectations!
