Chapter 373 Half-Step Golden Immortal
Fang Han and others were undergoing a tribulation outside the Huangquan Demon Sect's mountain gate, and later on a shocking battle broke out. However, no demon sect monks showed up from beginning to end.

The situation in the Jiuyou World is special. No matter how big the battle here is, it is basically difficult to affect the outside world. Even the Xuanhuang World may not be aware of it.

However, the many demon cultivators in this underground, no matter where they are now, should not behave so silently, as if they are unaware of everything.

All in all, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Chai Xin was a skilled and courageous man, and although he was alert, he remained fearless and strode towards the depths of the Huangquan Demon Sect.

While moving forward, the world within his body was still accelerating time to the maximum extent, not only helping Fang Han and others to practice, but also refining the Golden Immortal Laws that had been swallowed into his body previously.

The number of those Golden Immortal laws may be insufficient, but in essence they are no different from the real Golden Immortals, and may even be better.

If it were an ordinary Half-Step Golden Immortal, his comprehension of the laws would never be so profound, and it could even surpass many powerful Golden Immortals.

After all, Master Xuan's original body was very powerful, and he held a very high status in the Taiyi Sect, so when he was refining the Dharma body of the Half-Step Golden Immortal, he spared no expense in using materials just to make it as powerful as possible.

The Golden Immortal Laws possessed by the Dharmakaya were actually extracted from the bodies of some of the strongest Golden Immortals!

With his strength and status, it would be easy for him to capture several powerful Golden Immortals.

What's more, there are quite a few Golden Immortal captives held in the Taiyi Sect's prison, so it is not a big deal to consume them.

Because of this, the strength of the Half-Step Golden Immortal Dharmakaya is indeed very powerful, almost comparable to some beings who have just entered the Golden Immortal realm.

If not for this, with Chai Xin's strength comparable to that of a true Golden Immortal, the battle against him would not have been so difficult. Fang Han and Feng Baiyu even needed help to successfully crush him.

However, everything has two sides.

Although the battle is difficult, the rewards after victory are extraordinary.

Although there are not many of these Golden Immortal Laws, their quality is indeed top-notch. If Chai Xin can refine them, it will be almost as good as swallowing a complete Golden Immortal, and the benefits may even be greater.

Anyway, with his foundation and sacrifices, even if he refined all the origins of the laws of a complete Golden Immortal, he could not truly ascend to the Golden Immortal realm. At most, he could only reach the level of a Half-Step Golden Immortal.

He might have to devour the entire essence of at least three Golden Immortals before he could truly take that step.

At the intersection, obtaining laws of greater strength and higher quality is more important than having a little more quantity.

After refining these Golden Immortal laws, Chai Xin will definitely be able to step firmly into the realm of Half-Step Golden Immortal, and the laws he masters will be extremely profound.

By then, even without the help of Fang Han and Feng Baiyu, he would be able to compete with any Golden Immortal. Even if the opponent had endless means and had secret treasures to help him, he would not feel powerless.

Helpless, it’s just that the Golden Immortal realm is too special.

If it were any other realm in the past, for example, if Chai Xin was in the half-step immortal realm, he would definitely be able to crush any immortal and fight against the Xuanxian.

This is actually normal. The realm of Golden Immortal seems to be extremely special no matter in which dimension.

In the world of Shrouding Heaven, a Golden Immortal can basically be equated with a Great Emperor.

And the emperor means invincibility in the world of covering the sky.

No matter how close you get to the Great Emperor's existence, you can only be "close" but cannot truly reach it.

Be it a great saintly body, an alternative way of achieving enlightenment, or even a supreme being who has become extremely divine after self-destruction, they are only capable of "challenging" the emperor and barely fighting him.

In a real one-on-one life-and-death fight, there is no chance of winning!
With the blessing of the Jade of Creation, Chai Xin's current cultivation level is comparable to that of Golden Immortals and Great Emperors. This can be called a unique blessing and a miracle that has never been seen before.

Just as Chai Xin was on his way, deep in the Huangquan Demon Sect.

The Huangquan Demon Sect is not made up of a few mountains or a group of palaces, but is composed of layers of different dimensions arranged and combined.

The situation here is extremely complicated. If you are not a disciple of our sect, or have mastered the existence of a map, it is almost impossible to enter the core area calmly.

The core area is a series of palaces. Although it has gone through countless years, it is still magnificent, like the legendary underworld and Yama Palace.

Among the numerous palaces, there is a pagoda that is over a hundred feet high. It stands out like a crane among chickens, emitting a rich and tangible aura of the Nine Netherworlds all the time.

In front of this pagoda, several tall figures sat in the void, surrounded by infinite halos, like gods in ancient mythology. Their true faces could not be seen clearly, but they looked solemn and dignified, which made people want to worship them.

"The Immortal Realm actually sent down a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, and he went straight into this Netherworld... It seems that they have already gained some knowledge of our clan's actions!"

"This is not surprising. Although my clan acts carefully, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. As our eternal enemies, those old guys in the Immortal Realm are naturally always on guard and observing all the movements of my clan. What really surprised me is... who is this boy and how could he have such a strong fighting ability?"

"Yes, there is no information about this person before... He even killed a Half-Step Golden Immortal in the Immortal Realm with his own strength. He is truly unfathomable!"

There was a light curtain about ten feet square in front of these people. They were staring closely at the figure in the picture who was traveling at a very fast speed, with disbelief in their tone and eyes.

The figure in the picture was not someone else, but Chai Xin who was rushing here.

These guys have been secretly spying on Chai Xin without him noticing. It is obvious that they are very powerful.

"To be able to cultivate to the level of a Profound Immortal in the lower realm, there must be someone with great power behind him to help him... Or, just like what the Half-Step Golden Immortal said before his death, he is the reincarnation of an almighty powerful being."

"No matter what, the Huangquan Demon Sect and Huangquan Treasure House, as well as the powerful inheritance within, are already an important part of our clan's next plan. No matter who comes, they will not be allowed to destroy them!"

"Don't worry, I just saw that the Half-Step Golden Immortal was killed with the help of Feng Baiyu and Fang Han, otherwise we would not be able to do it. With the combined strength of the four of us, he has no chance of winning."

"That's right. If this boy is knowledgeable and willing to join our clan, we can refine him with the Great Puppetry Technique and let us use him. Otherwise, we will kill him directly and turn him into ashes!"

It turned out that these four people were masters among the gods. Their purpose of coming to the underground of the Xuanhuang World was to visit the Huangquan Demon Sect and the Huangquan Treasure House.

In the square in front of them, hundreds of figures were prostrating themselves respectfully on the ground, and no one dared to speak. These people were actually the scattered disciples of Huangquan Demon Sect, and they were all supreme elders and hall masters, and all of them were at the third level of immortality or above.

Such cultivation level is enough to be called a master outside, but it seems extremely humble here.

However, in front of these four mysterious figures of the God Clan, they were completely powerless to fight back and were easily swept away.

The several keys to the Yellow Springs Treasure House in their hands had all been obtained by the gods, and even they themselves were controlled and turned into puppets through the Great Puppetry Technique. Their lives were even more miserable than those of the believers who were saved by the Great Salvation Technique.

After being converted by the Great Salvation Technique, although one will devote wholeheartedly to the convert, one will at least still retain one's own personality and preferences.

Anyone who can be refined by the Great Puppet Technique will lose all their mental faculties and become a puppet that only obeys the orders of the caster, without any personality at all.

"According to rumors, the Huangquan Demon Sect once dominated the three thousand worlds, but now it seems that there are only a few big cats and small cats, not worth mentioning."

"Brother, don't be so careless. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Huangquan Demon Sect has declined, no one knows whether the Huangquan Emperor still has a backup plan here... In any case, he is still a Heavenly Sovereign!"

"Heavenly Monarch? He became a Heavenly Monarch just before his death. He can be said to be the shortest-lived Heavenly Monarch in the world, right?"

"Hey! The third brother is right. Don't be careless in everything. Be careful of a disaster. First, gather your strength and set up your formation. Wait for that guy to fall into the trap, and then take him down in one fell swoop!"

The four gods' masters discussed for a while, and their figures gradually faded and finally disappeared completely into the void.

In the distance, Chai Xin crossed several different dimensions in one step, and this was the result of deliberately suppressing his speed.

His main focus now is not on rushing on the road, but on refining the Golden Immortal Laws in the world within his body as quickly as possible.

The numerous creatures in the world inside the body have already multiplied to more than 600 billion, among which there are countless masters. The number of those in the secret realm of magical powers has exceeded 100 million, and there are nearly one million in the secret realm of longevity. There are even thousands of beings above the fifth level of longevity!

There are at most hundreds of cultivators at the Realm King level, more than ten virtual immortals, and three true immortals.

These masters gradually emerged from among the many converted demons, humans, monsters and other creatures over a long period of hundreds of thousands of years. This does not include those who were forcibly suppressed by Chai Xin in the battle.

Such a huge number of believers, as soon as Chai Xin made a thought, worked together to circulate their magic power to help him refine the Golden Immortal Law.

There are more than 600 billion living beings. Although each one is tiny and cannot be compared with the almighty Golden Immortal, when they are all gathered together, they are powerful enough to shake the world.

After more than 5,000 years of time acceleration, those Golden Immortal Laws have been refined by 70% to 80%. Chai Xin's strength has also increased significantly, gradually reaching another level.

"Great! Such high-quality Golden Immortal Laws are beyond my initial imagination! If I can get so many more, I will definitely have a chance to enter the Golden Immortal realm!"

With the help of these Golden Immortal Laws, Chai Xin has already crossed that layer of membrane and only needs to take the final step to truly step into it.

However, the more his cultivation level increased, the more he realized how difficult it was to take that step.

If I just rely on practicing hard behind closed doors, I am afraid that even at the end of my life, I will not be able to truly enter the realm of Golden Immortal.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Chai Xin felt some gazes staring at him, and his aura froze.

"I didn't realize just now that someone was spying on me deep inside the Huangquan Demon Sect? It seems that it's just as I expected. Whenever you try to obtain a secret treasure, there will inevitably be major setbacks!"

After just a moment, he immediately returned to normal, acting as if he was unaware of anything as before, and continued to go deeper at a leisurely pace.

If Chai Xin had not refined the Golden Immortal Law and improved his strength, he might not have noticed until he walked into the enemy's ambush.

However, even though he knew that there were several experts lurking in the dark, he did not feel afraid. Instead, he became more excited and delighted.

Although he has now reached the level of a half-step Golden Immortal, he still needs a lot of resources if he wants to truly enter the Golden Immortal realm.

Now several mysterious masters come to "help", how can Chai Xin not be happy?

"The aura of these guys is very familiar. They must be a tribe that we have dealt with before...Haha, the World Tree actually reacted. I know it! The treasure-delivering boy is here again!"

As Chai Xin moved forward, he silently deepened his perception of these auras, which gradually became clearer. Finally, even the World Tree in the world inside his body began to sway gently involuntarily.

He immediately realized that the true identities of these lurkers were none other than the enemies he most desired to see—the Protoss!
For any race, the gods can be regarded as natural enemies, and extremely difficult natural enemies to deal with, because those guys are extremely powerful in all aspects and are invincible among the same level.

Only a few pure-blooded dragons have the capital to compete with them.

However, to Chai Xin, who owns the World Tree, the Gods are indeed no different from the treasure-delivering boy.

In the original novel, not only was there the Heavenly Concubine Uma who had comprehended the secret of the origin of the World Tree and was no longer afraid of it, but could even use its power to practice like other races; any other gods would be restrained when facing the World Tree!

Since these masters of the gods in the dark were able to spy silently for such a long time without Chai Xin and Master Xuan noticing, their strength must be no lower than that of the two of them.

If it were any other race, and four strong men like this joined forces to besiege, even if Chai Xin never underestimated himself, he would try his best to find ways to defeat them one by one instead of confronting them head-on - as the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, let alone so many hands?

But it's different for the Gods. Even if five or six Golden Immortals come together, Chai Xin doesn't dare to say that he can crush them easily, but with the blessing of the World Tree, he can definitely come and go freely and kill one or two of them at the same time!

There is no way, the World Tree’s restraint on the Gods is so terrifying!
"The gods are all extremely powerful, and are definitely the best in their class. If I can take down one or two of them, it might be enough for me to be promoted!"

Thinking of this, even someone as tough as Chai Xin couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speed up slightly, and he felt a little ecstatic.

However, he immediately suppressed his excitement and regained his calm state.

The bigger the event, the more you need to remain calm and not lose your mind. This is a basic quality of being a strong person.

"Interesting. You thought I didn't notice it and you're planning to ambush me? Well, I'll do something tricky and let them outsmart themselves."
