Xiao Tian's ears were bitten off completely. His eyes were gouged out and eaten alive. Darkness became the only thing left in his vision. He could no longer see the outside world, but the pain remained so real. Every bite felt like a fire burning under his skin, scorching every nerve that remained. The pain not only destroyed his body, but also tore at the deepest side of his soul. The souls laughed at his suffering, their screams turning into a chorus of madness that echoed long. Xiao Tian's body was increasingly destroyed. His flesh vanished, the remaining organs were torn apart without a trace. His bones, which had been covered in Azure Dragon scales, which had never been penetrated by any attack, were now crushed until not a single fragment remained. Everything vanished in that darkness, swallowed by a ferocity that seemed endless. However, among that destruction, there was something that could not be touched. Among the clumps of darkness that swallowed everything, a small ray e

If anyone saw him now, they would not believe what was happening. Five hundred and fifty million Chaos Stones. Such a large amount was not only impossible for a Supreme God King to refine, even a God Emperor would not dare to touch it in such a large quantity. But Xiao Tian did not wait for doubts. His left hand moved slowly, while his right hand formed a seal, focusing his Universe cultivation technique. In an instant, the chaos energy from all the stones broke simultaneously, causing a subtle explosion that shook every layer of air in the room. The wave of chaos stormed his body, like a storm wanting to swallow everything. The energy was wild and savage. It attacked in all directions, trying to annihilate Xiao Tian's body from within. But before the chaos had a chance to damage anything, Leihuo Dashi's heavy voice echoed from within the dantian world. "I'll handle it." In an instant, a vortex of Divine Lightning Fire appeared inside Xiao Tian's body. The fire devoured every strea

Xiao Tian's body tensed. Although the divine energy was still quite far away, its power had already reached him. He felt the air around him suddenly freeze, causing every nerve in his body to lose control. He could not move a finger, even just regulating his breath felt difficult. His breath was ragged, his chest felt tight, and his gaze sharpened as he stared at the figure of the middle-aged man. But there was not a single power he could summon from his body. In his mind, there was only one consciousness spinning. That this time, he really had no way out. That consciousness was like freezing time, leaving only a sense of despair that pressed on his chest. His brain tried to find a way out, but every possibility ended in a dead end. All the power he possessed felt vanished under that pressure. But just as the middle-aged man's divine energy was ready to swallow him, something unexpected happened. The ripple of energy that enveloped the air stopped suddenly, then disappeared without

Before anyone had time to understand the meaning of his words, the dwarf reached for the hand of one of them. In an instant, the god ring circling the man's finger had moved to his hand without a sound, without the slightest vibration of energy. He did it repeatedly, one by one, until all five god rings were now in his grasp. His movements were smooth, as if he was just moving trivial objects that were meaningless. After that, the dwarf looked at them without expression. In the next moment, four middle-aged men collapsed almost simultaneously. There was no light of attack, no sound of impact, not even a change in the surrounding air. Their bodies just suddenly lost life, falling like puppets whose strings had been cut. No one saw the movements made by the dwarf. Their deaths came so quietly, as if only a simple decision had been set by the space itself. What was strange, the dwarf did not let the four corpses explode as usually happens to high-level cultivators who die. There was no

Xiao Tian refocused his gaze on the dwarfish man. His expression was calm, but his eyes showed a deep curiosity. "Senior, may I ask a question?" he said then. "What do you want to ask? Is it about what I said before?" the tavern owner asked back, this time looking at him more seriously. "That's one of them, but there's something else I want to ask you, Senior." "You can say it," the tavern owner replied, crossing his arms on the table. His gaze was calm, but his silence implied full attention to every word that would come out of Xiao Tian's mouth. "When I entered the Cosmic Ocean, I saw there were so many worlds, even worlds larger than the Hundun Realm. However, because the Hundun Realm was the closest world when I entered the Cosmic Ocean, I stopped here. If you don't mind, Senior, may I know about the powers in the Cosmic Ocean Realm?" Xiao Tian said it in a polite but attentive tone. Every word was measured. For him, this was not just a question, but an important step to unde
