In truth, Jhi Chen was still unable to compete with True Gods of rank five, let alone a hundred of them. However, his soul power, which had already reached the level of a rank four True God, allowed him to withstand the immense pressure from the formation. That was the reason he could construct and control the formation with stability without losing balance. The formation he used could only be activated once in one energy cycle. If he wanted to use it again, he had to wait for two full months for his soul power to fully recover. Even so, he did not tell anyone about it. He knew this world was filled with greed and hidden ambitions. The fewer people who knew his limits, the safer he would be. The reason was simple. Jhi Chen wanted to give a warning to anyone who intended to trouble him. There was no need for direct threats, just a display of power so they would think a thousand times before acting. He still had another trump card that he had not revealed, the Nine-Star Salke Formatio

Jhi Chen took out twenty bottles of Void Tree Dew and swallowed them all at once. The incredibly dense natural energy instantly enveloped his body, penetrating his skin, muscles, and down to the deepest part of his bones. Inside his body, a vortex of power spun rapidly, absorbing every drop of energy like a whale swallowing the entire sea. He closed his eyes, synchronizing his breath with the flow of energy around him. Waves of power rose and fell within his body, crashing against every internal boundary. The air around him vibrated, and the divine pressure he emitted grew stronger with each passing moment. Eighty days passed without pause. Jhi Chen’s body now pulsed with new strength. When he opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed within his pupils, marking the success of his breakthrough. He had now reached the fourth rank of the Half-God realm. His soul power had increased dramatically, and when combined with his War God Body, he was capable of matching the strength of a seventh

Jhi Chen walked slowly through the quiet forest. The air around him felt heavy, the trees gently trembling in the wind, and the sound of his steps seemed like the only living sound in the place. He did not look back, yet his gaze was sharp, full of vigilance. When he reached the middle of the forest, his steps stopped. The ground beneath his feet cracked slightly under the pressure of energy slowly flowing from his body. “You’ve been following me for so long, why don’t you show yourselves?” he said calmly, without turning even slightly. A cold laugh answered from behind the shadows of the trees. “Heh, I thought you would stay put in the Yan Clan. Turns out you dare to walk alone. A genius is sometimes just too foolish.” Jhi Chen turned slightly, his expression flat. “Why are there only seven of you? Weren’t there eleven of you together? No need to play hide-and-seek with me. If you have business with me, why be so shy about it?” Heavy footsteps sounded from various direction

Jhi Chen’s instincts were sharp; he sensed there were still powerful enemies watching him. But that feeling suddenly disappeared. “Forget it, maybe I’m overthinking.” Jhi Chen’s intuition was actually correct. It was not only a seventh-rank True God following him, but also two people ranked second and third among the Immortal Gods. Yet now, the two of them could do nothing. Jhi Ruyue had already suppressed them. “Tell me, who sent you?” One of them answered in a deep voice, “No one sent us. We just wanted to avenge our child.” Jhi Ruyue did not take that at face value. She stared directly into their eyes, then activated her soul-searching technique. It took only one breath for all their memories to become clear. They had indeed come because of personal revenge, their child having been beaten by Jhi Chen in public. There was no involvement from anyone else. The two came from the Rongbo Sect. They had arrived late, unaware that Jhi Chen was now under Jhi Ruyue’s protection. After c

“Boy, that’s right. This is the world inside the primal universe stone. To be sure, try to focus your soul’s power. If you cannot see the outside world beyond this world, then this is indeed the world of the universe stone.” Jhi Chen followed the instructions of the Ancestral Dragon Soul. He focused his soul’s power to the extreme limit. In that silence, the waves of his consciousness expanded, penetrating the surrounding space, and slowly he saw the shadow of the cave where he had been training. He tried returning to that cave, and his body shifted in an instant. He successfully returned. “Hahaha, boy, you are really lucky. The primal universe stone cannot be called an artifact, because it contains a real world inside. Now you can enter and exit it with just your mind. Not only you, anyone you allow can also enter the world of the universe stone, and you can expel anyone you wish. You can house billions of beings inside it, and you are the God in that world. Once someone enters
