The liver is a late bloomer!

The Holy Light Clan, numbering in the billions, slowly advanced along this filthy road, which was tens of thousands of miles in diameter, braving endless strange beasts.

At the forefront were rows of five-zhang-tall combat puppets, wielding giant shields and long swords, resisting the strange beasts ahead.

In the sky, tens of thousands of puppets formed a defensive battle formation, guarding against the dense and impenetrable attacks of the alien beasts.

Just then, a furious roar echoed across the battlefield from afar.

A massive, Xuanxian-level beast charged toward the vanguard.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly shone in the space behind, and then a giant arrow of light, hundreds of feet long, traversed tens of thousands of miles to lock onto the Xuanxian Realm beast.

"boom!!"

The giant arrow, hundreds of feet long, left a long trail of light in the void. After hitting the Xuanxian Realm beast, it exploded and annihilated hundreds of thousands of beasts within a radius of thousands of miles.

Behind the vanguard, Xu Chen stood at the bow of the ship, watching the Radiant Giant Bow, which was exchanging masters not far away.

"The cost isn't too high; the stronger ones can shoot five arrows, and the weaker ones can shoot three."

"Given the current situation, it should last for quite a while. I just don't know how many such acquired spiritual treasures the Holy Light Clan has."

At this point, Xu Chen's gaze traveled across thousands of miles and landed on Meng Guang, who was directing the battle.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, may I use that kind of acquired spiritual treasure giant bow?"

"My hands are itching to shoot a few arrows."

Xu Chen's voice reached Meng Guang's ears.

"Our clan still has some of these acquired spiritual treasures, but using them requires the use of corresponding secret techniques."

"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Xu. I'll arrange it and send someone over to deliver it to you." Meng Guang replied quickly.

Not long after, a powerful member of the Holy Light Clan presented Xu Chen with a crimson giant bow, along with a jade slip.

"This is a minor divine ability obtained by my clan from opening the Divine Ability Jade Slip. It can unlock a portion of the power of acquired spiritual treasures. However, cultivating this divine ability requires some talent. Fellow Daoist Xu can take a look first." The Holy Light Clan expert spoke with great respect.

"Okay." Xu Chen nodded slightly, thinking to himself that the Holy Light Clan was quite generous. He had only intended to test them, but they had given him what he wanted directly.

The powerful member of the Holy Light Clan nodded and took his leave.

Xu Chen's divine sense penetrated deep into the jade slip, and a mysterious divine power appeared.

"Interesting. It's actually the spirit of an acquired spiritual treasure that's being consumed, forcibly unleashing a portion of the treasure's power."

"This acquired spiritual treasure, amplified by this supernatural power, will likely lose much of its power after the spirit dissipates in a short time."

“A spiritual treasure without a spirit is just an empty shell. To activate it, it requires several times more immortal power than before.”

Xu Chen explored the supernatural power for a while, and then began to learn it.

"However, this kind of supernatural power can indeed save lives at critical moments, but it is difficult to learn."

From Xu Chen's current perspective, cultivating this divine ability is no less difficult than cultivating a single immortal divine ability to its peak, which is a huge waste of time.

However, this drawback is almost negligible for Xu Chen.

Three months later, the vanguard in the midst of battle suddenly felt a massive, scorching energy shooting towards the entire battlefield from the void.

"boom!!"

That massive burst of scorching energy pierced through the fiercely contested battlefield and shot directly toward the unexplored, filthy path behind them.

Under the blazing light of the fire, the vanguard of the alien races engaged in battle could see the vast and seemingly endless number of strange beasts.

Then a burst of light exploded among these strange beasts, transforming into a fireball thousands of miles in diameter.

In an instant, the entire battlefield trembled, and a powerful aftershock swept across the battlefield.

The entire battlefield trembled. Both sides, whether alien warriors or beasts, stopped fighting and stared at the fireball that was nearly ten thousand miles in diameter, their eyes filled with shock.

Xu Chen, in the distance, remained in the posture of drawing his bow and shooting the sun, wanting to fire a second arrow, but his expression was somewhat shocked by the power of his first arrow.

"This power is a bit excessive, almost equivalent to a full-force attack from a Celestial Immortal."

As Xu Chen spoke, he slowly lowered the bowstring of the giant red bow that had been drawn to its full extent.

With such power, firing a second arrow would exceed the range where the beast would appear, which would be a waste.

A streak of light flew in from afar.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how much of that arrow could you shoot with your own power?" Meng Guang asked excitedly.

Xu Chen thought for a moment and then held up one finger.

"Ten arrows! Fellow Daoist's source power is the strongest I have ever seen among those of the same realm," Meng Guang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Uh……"

Xu Chen had initially wanted to pretend to be able to shoot continuously, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.

"I'm giving this acquired spiritual treasure bow to you, fellow Daoist."

"Alright, with this giant bow, I'll shoot an arrow whenever my hands itch." Xu Chen smiled, feeling that the supernatural power he had acquired was currently very useful to him.

For a period of time afterward, the entire alien vanguard army felt much more relaxed.

Because whenever the strange beasts gather in large numbers, a burst of scorching energy transforms into a giant arrow that explodes in the area where the beasts are most concentrated.

As they traveled two billion miles along the filthy path, small groups of Earth Immortal Realm beasts began to appear frequently, while small groups of Heaven Immortal Realm beasts would appear every ten million miles.

In Xu Chen's calculations, the frequency of appearances of strange beasts in the Xuanxian Realm had increased to 80 li.

"The current intensity is still within expectations. I wonder when that Golden Immortal Realm beast will appear."

A newly acquired spiritual treasure sword floated in front of Xu Chen. This was the most powerful newly acquired spiritual treasure sword that he had carefully selected from among all the acquired spiritual treasures.

He wanted to try it out then, to see if he could injure a Golden Immortal beast while at the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Sensing that another large number of strange beasts were gathering at the front of the battlefield, Xu Chen reached out and picked up the fiery giant bow next to him.

"Unfortunately, this should be the last one."

The once-profoundly radiant acquired spiritual treasure bow has lost its luster after years of use.

As the bow was drawn to its fullest extent, a large bow appeared in the void, and a giant red arrow appeared at the bowstring.

'Boom! ! '

With a single shot, a gigantic arrow, hundreds of feet long, pierced through the void and hurtled towards the distant battlefield.

"boom!!"

A crimson light illuminated the entire battlefield.

The fireball, stretching for nearly ten thousand miles, raged wildly, burning away all living things it could.

Xu Chen put down the giant red bow in his hand, his expression quite satisfied with the arrow he had shot.

A streak of light flew from afar and appeared not far from Xu Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, I have another one here. I wonder if you would be willing to..." Meng Guang looked a little embarrassed.

"Give it to me, it's just a matter of shooting a few more arrows."

"By the way, how many of these acquired spiritual treasure giant bows do you have left, fellow Daoist?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Not many. Our clan has been working hard to collect them for nearly ten million years, and we have more than 300 in total, which is enough for our needs."

"That's good. Fellow Daoist Meng, please leave me 10 as spares," Xu Chen said. "No problem."

In the meantime, when he was bored, Xu Chen would practice his archery skills on the boat.

The main force moved forward slowly, and after 60 years, it had finally completed the halfway point of its journey.

Along the filthy road that stretches for fifty billion miles, the beasts are now mainly of the Earth Immortal Realm, with small numbers of Heaven Immortal Realm beasts appearing, and then two or three Mystic Immortal Realm beasts starting to appear together.

The casualties of the vanguard were being calculated in the hundreds of thousands every day.

The powerful members of the Holy Light Clan have begun using acquired spiritual treasures to fight on the front lines.

On the magical flying boat, Xu Chen, who was enjoying tea and watching the show, couldn't help but wonder again what kind of thing could make the Holy Light Clan migrate as a whole.

Now, the vanguard's advance on the entire battlefield has slowed down significantly.

If Xu Chen hadn't occasionally fired an arrow with his acquired spiritual treasure, the giant bow, the vanguard might have suffered even greater casualties and advanced at a slower pace.

On this day, Xu Chen and Meng Guang were drinking on the boat.

Mengguang's face was full of sorrow.

“Actually, if Fellow Daoist Meng hadn’t migrated her entire clan, these beasts would have only needed to be avoided; there was no need to exterminate them all,” Xu Chen said tentatively.

“I know that, but my tribe has no choice.”

"The innate spiritual light within my Holy Light Clan is nurtured by a special spiritual light within the clan."

“Every 9000 million years, they must return to their territory to receive the special spiritual light.”

"Currently, the innate spiritual light within the bodies of most of our clan's strong individuals and newborns has begun to wither. If we do not leave now, within a few thousand years, our clan will decline to below the Immortal Path due to the depletion of our innate spiritual light."

"I'm sure Fellow Daoist Xu has been wondering about this for quite some time now." A smile forced onto Meng Guang's worried face.

"I see." Xu Chen nodded. This was a valid reason why he had to go out.

Xu Chen believed it, but not entirely; he felt there was still room for further exploration.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?" Meng Guang suddenly changed the subject.

"I do want it, but if I take too much of this stuff, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Xu Chen picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with Meng Guang, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, my entire clan swears an oath to the Heavenly Dao that we will absolutely not harm you afterward," Meng Guang assured him.

"This is something you can't control, fellow Daoist," Xu Chen said, shaking his head.

If the Holy Light Clan were to forcibly summon their Holy Venerable after they leave, and they learned that Xu Chen possessed so many innate spiritual treasures, even if he swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao, Xu Chen would not be able to escape.

"Then how exactly can one accept this innate spiritual treasure?" Meng Guang asked, unwilling to give up.

"After you leave, nobles are not allowed to summon your clan's Holy Venerable or Great Venerable for a hundred years," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

With his own cultivation of the supernatural power of concealing cause and effect, coupled with his ability to use the acquired spiritual treasure flying boat, he could reach a range that a Saint Venerable could not detect within a hundred years.

“Deal,” Meng Guang decided immediately.

"I wonder what kind of combat puppet you wish to exchange for an innate spiritual treasure."

With a wave of his hand, Xu Chen summoned a giant combat puppet, 30 zhang tall, to the outside of the immortal ship, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

This is the last War General-level puppet that Da Xu crafted for Xu Chen. Each puppet can use an attack technique that combines three Great Daos. When ten puppets are combined, they can break through the defenses of a Xuanxian Realm beast.

This is currently the strongest puppet in Xu Chen's possession.

"A battle formation composed of 10,000 puppets can kill mythical beasts at the Xuanxian realm."

“One innate spiritual treasure can be exchanged for tens of millions of weapons, plus an additional 2 million warrior-level puppets,” Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"What's the maximum amount I can exchange?"

Meng Guang glanced back at the battle line ahead, where dazzling orbs of light burst open almost every moment, like magnificent fireworks, blooming constantly.

"I can only give you a maximum of one hundred million units, fellow Daoist," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"I only have four innate spiritual treasures that I can exchange for." Meng Guang immediately took four innate spiritual treasures.

A boat, a fan, a cauldron and a mountain.

"The Thousand-Sky Ship, the Mountain and River Fan, the Starry Sky Cauldron, and the Dream God Mountain are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

"If it weren't for the critical moment of our clan's survival, I wouldn't want to take it out," Meng Guang said with some reluctance.

"Alright." Xu Chen nodded and accepted the four innate spiritual treasures, and then had Da Xu release 40 million War General-level puppets.

He then took out a spatial artifact and handed it to Meng Guang, which contained two hundred million warrior-level puppets.

Having obtained the puppet, Meng Guang bid farewell and left, leaving behind tens of millions of War General-level puppets on the battlefield.

Three hours later, the entire army's marching speed suddenly increased.

"This is truly a great opportunity."

Xu Chen counted them carefully and found that he already had over a thousand acquired spiritual treasures and eight innate spiritual treasures. This was his way of returning to the human race and becoming the richest man in the world.

"With these two innate spiritual treasure flying boats, when I return, even Saint Venerable level experts will have to greet me with a smile and call me 'young friend'."

In the following period, the number of elite warriors from both races who died decreased significantly, and the main force's advance speed also increased considerably.

This situation persisted for thirty years, by which time the main force had traveled nine billion miles along the filthy road.

Xu Chen already possesses a double-digit number of innate spiritual treasures.

Like ocean waves, the hordes of terrestrial immortal beasts surged against the vanguard of the alien race, while smaller groups of celestial immortal beasts roamed the void, occasionally inflicting heavy damage on the vanguard.

Behind these strange beasts, several more strange beasts at the Xuanxian realm were waiting.

Even with a large number of generals and commanders at this point, the advance of the entire army still came at the cost of millions of elite soldiers.

"It was truly a tragic scene," Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Now, tens of thousands of soldiers are dying on the battlefield every hundred miles or so for the entire army.

Almost all the powerful members of the Holy Light Clan went to the battlefield, and Xu Chen would also rush into the battlefield to provide support when a crisis occurred.

“In the past ten years or so, the Holy Light Clan has lost billions of elite warriors,” Da Xu said, looking at Xu Chen, who was restoring the original source precedent.

"This is only the front line. The rear has been attacked, and hundreds of billions of Holy Light Clan members have already died."

"Given this pattern, it would be good if at least 20% of them could make it through."

In his spare time, Xu Chen looked at the scene behind him.

Whenever a Mystic Immortal Realm beast launches a surprise attack, the Holy Light Clan members at the Celestial Immortal Realm immediately abandon all hope and frantically activate their self-destruct mode.

Its ferocity was in no way comparable to that of frontline battles.

Moreover, this kind of sneak attack has been continuously carried out from the rear.

Xu Chen didn't have a good solution to this either.

As Xu Chen was recovering his original essence, a giant bow, a post-natal spiritual treasure, suddenly appeared in his hand.

Then, the bow was drawn to its fullest extent and the arrow was shot backward.

A beam of green light pierced directly through a Mystic Immortal Realm beast in the void. (End of Chapter)
