“It's Him!”
“I can sense His aura!”
Xu Xi's body was emanating three terrifying auras that seemed to churn and swirl.
The dragons, after a brief moment of stunned silence, finally realized something and looked with terror at the necklace hanging around Xu Xi's neck. Within it, they saw something utterly horrifying.
The ender of gods.
The crown of all heavens.
The eternal and unique.
The everlasting and infinite.
The legendary highest ultimate who had slain all the gods of chaos!
“Run, run now!!”
There was no time to think or hesitate; all that remained in their minds was a pure impulse—to flee in the opposite direction, as far away from Xu Xi as possible.
Within the chaotic currents, worlds and dimensions overlapped.
Large groups of dragons, in their panic, flew blindly.
They flapped their wings frantically, casting all sorts of wind magic to give themselves extra speed, leaving their fellow dragons behind.
The death of their leader had fully convinced these dragon species that they stood no chance against Xu Xi.
But.
As long as they flew faster than their kin.
Maybe—just maybe—they could have a slim chance of survival!
The dragons thought this, their fear making them beat their wings harder, even attacking their own kin in desperation.
But an even more despairing event occurred.
While Xu Xi had been slowed down, he suddenly began employing spatial laws—either taking strides that spanned vast distances or splitting into multiple forms that attacked several dragons simultaneously.
And the truly most despairing thing was the very source of those three profound and hellish auras.
They were here.
One wielded a sword that could cut through the nine heavens and ten earths.
Another burned with a fire that could consume a thousand worlds.
The female immortal and the princess, traversing the dimensions of chaos, effortlessly slaughtered the terrified dragons.
Krisha didn't engage in the fight; instead, she cast an eternal shield around Xu Xi, ensuring that the impure dragon blood could not touch him.
The farce.
Had come to an end.
“This...” Xu Xi put away his weapon, still feeling unsatisfied.
He had originally planned to experiment with more divine laws, testing them one by one on the dragons, but he was quickly outmaneuvered by the eager Mo Li and Ying Xue.
“Sir, how did I do?”
“Hmm, very well done.”
Xu Xi smiled and complimented the princess, who had come to claim her merit.
If they wanted to take the kills, so be it.
Her intention to protect him, he fully felt—it was something more important than any personal sharpening of his skills.
“Mo Li, Ying Xue, leave a few weaker dragons.”
Thinking of the dragonblood grass in his courtyard, Xu Xi reminded the two girls to keep a few weaker dragons alive, both for easier control and for future use.
After all, constantly draining Rex Santos's blood had Xu Xi worried about the declining quality of the dragon blood.
“Yes, Brother,”
“I understand!”
The two girls responded promptly and dealt with the matter swiftly, capturing three newly ascended saint dragon domains.
The dragons' faces were filled with terror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
They begged relentlessly.
One even fainted from sheer fright.
At Xu Xi's gesture, Krisha swung her grey wand, sending the dragons into an internal spatial dimension.
“This should be the end...”
Chaos grew quiet, and the dimensions stabilized once more.
Before returning to Earth, Xu Xi glanced at himself and felt the weight of his universal authority and divine power. He then compared his reflection with Krisha and contemplated the differences between a reproduction and the original.
“I thought that after becoming a god, I could narrow the gap a bit.”
“But now it seems—”
“There’s still a massive gulf between me and Krisha.”
Xu Xi reflected inwardly.
Now that he was a god, he could travel between worlds, even across the vast expanse of the real universe, embarking on unimaginable voyages.
Such was the might of a god, bestowed by the rules of the world.
Yet the eternal apex.
Was situated far beyond infinity.
Even as a god, Xu Xi couldn’t even begin to comprehend its scale.
Of course, this didn’t mean he was weak—becoming a god had undeniably granted him far greater power than before.
It was only when compared to the ultimate pinnacle that his abilities seemed insignificant.
“Brother, I have something I’d like to ask you,”
“What is it, Mo Li?”
“What are your plans now that you’ve become a god? I mean, regarding your Path of Immortality.”
“Let me think… I suppose I’ll focus on consolidating my realm, then use my divine authority to support both my Path of Immortality and martial cultivation, hoping for further progress.”
In response to Mo Li’s question, Xu Xi thought for a moment and gave his answer.
He pursued three pathways simultaneously.
With the backing of the ultimate pinnacle, he wasn’t concerned about the speed of his cultivation.
Thus,
Xu Xi aimed to reach the zenith in all three aspects: essence, energy, and divine essence.
“Well…” Mo Li tugged lightly at Xu Xi’s sleeve. “Could Brother first ascend to become a True Immortal and then transcend the Way of Martial Arts?”
She asked softly, her eyes shimmering with gentle light.
“This…”
Xu Xi was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected his sister to make such a request, and he couldn’t quite understand the significance behind it.
Did his sister perhaps have some kind of competitive streak when it came to this?
Xu Xi couldn’t quite fathom it.
But still, he agreed with a smile.
Behind him, Ying Xue was holding a few dragons, contemplating how to cook them, whether to boil or roast them.
“It’s so hard to decide,” she muttered with a frown.
Back on Earth, after Xu Xi’s ascension ceremony ended, the celestial abnormalities dissipated.
Xu Xi’s life didn’t change much.
The previous tranquility remained.
However, far away in the capital city, Li Wanshou had his own thoughts and had his own way of dealing with this new development.
“That unruly disciple, that unruly disciple!”
“You had the Path of Immortality, yet you didn’t pursue it, and instead became some barbarian god! I am utterly enraged!!”
“Take these bottles of Tribulation Gold Pills and stay far away from me!”
“Don’t even think of seeing me until you’ve become a True Immortal!”
The elderly man shouted curses, sending a few precious bottles of pills to Xu Xi.
He declared that Xu Xi could only see him again once he had successfully ascended as a True Immortal.
Xu Xi held the pills, shaking his head and smiling amusedly.
In addition, life for the dragons had also undergone some changes. The previously captured dragons and the slain dragon deity had significantly alleviated the shortage of dragon blood.
Life became much calmer for Rex Santos.
The frequency of his visits to the courtyard dropped drastically—from once a week to once a month.
Rex Santos was overjoyed, and Xu Xi was also quite pleased, as Rex Santos’s dragon blood quality had notably improved.
“This is what we call a balanced workload,”
Xu Xi taught the witches, and the witches carefully memorized Xu Xi’s instructions on dragon taming.
After that,
Xu Xi continued to stabilize his cultivation at home.
He experienced the laws, solidified his divine essence, refining his godly nature until it was stable. Having done so, Xu Xi was now ready to commence his next simulation.
