Chapter 1358: The Deformed Path Divine Artifact

“Being from within the realm, what is your name?” asked the weary Grand Leader, feeling diminished after the beating.

“According to your naming, you can call me Xu,” Xu Fan replied lightly.

“Xu, I didn’t expect your mastery of teleportation to be so profound after all these years,” Brother Two remarked from the side, actually transmitting a message to Xu Fan to report what had happened during this time.

“It’s acceptable. I happened to be nearby when you called for help,” Xu Fan nodded.

“Brother Xu, after you save me and Brother Two, we will be brothers.”

“From now on, when we have any benefits, Brother Xu will surely be included,” the Grand Leader expressed gratefully, taking out two portions of chaotic truth to give to Xu Fan.

“Just give them to Brother Two; he needs them to upgrade to a primordial artifact master,” Xu Fan refused.

Secretly, avatar number two had already moved the items into Xu Fan’s Spiritual Treasure space.

“That won’t do! The things Brother Two needs for his upgrade to a primordial artifact master are obviously something I should procure.”

“This is my gratitude to Brother Xu; please be sure to accept it,” the Grand Leader said sincerely, though he felt it was somewhat strange—like being partly saved by a pet dog.

“Alright.” Xu Fan waved his hand and accepted the two portions of chaotic truth.

“I have matters to attend to, so you can handle things as you see fit,” Xu Fan said, transforming into a holy light and disappearing.

“Grand Leader, what should we do now?” Brother Two asked, gazing at the unfamiliar Chaotic Mist Area.

“We need to go back and rescue the remaining brothers.”

“Then we can think of other things,” the Grand Leader said, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

An entrepreneurial team that was thriving like never before had shattered, and no one would be willing to accept that.

“Grand Leader, I know of a secret path that can take us out of the two Great God or Demon Empires. Should we check it out?” Brother Two suggested.

In his mind, the chaotic Primordial God Demon Empire was no longer suitable for their entrepreneurial endeavors.

From the words of the three chaotic gods or demons pursuing them, it was clear that the supreme, unspeakable existence had not completely disappeared.

Connecting this with the messages given to him by Xu Fan’s main body, avatar number two could confirm that within a few Epochs, the leader of the Primordial God Demon Empire would certainly return.

“Leaving the two Great God or Demon Empires with the brothers is indeed a good plan.”

“Moreover, from what I sensed in the traitors’ conversation just now, the leader has not vanished. As soon as he returns, we will surely face retribution.”

“So now is the time to leave; otherwise, no one will escape when the leader comes back,” the Grand Leader asserted.

“Grand Leader, I wonder if you would be interested in creating another god or demon empire,” Brother Two asked, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at the Grand Leader.

“Sure, but it’s impractical; let’s take it one step at a time.”

The two gods or demons quietly made their way toward the Primordial God Demon Empire.

In the Three Thousand Realms, within the Hidden Spirit Sect,

Xu Fan looked at the items given by avatar number two and couldn’t help but smile.

Just the two hundred thousand Great God or Demon-level puppets alone showed Xu Fan how great a job avatar number two had done as the logistics minister over the years.

Two hundred thousand puppets, a large quantity of precious chaotic spirit ore, and most critically, a divine-like object.

Spatial fluctuations rippled, and a semi-circular fragment exuding an eerie aura materialized in Xu Fan’s grasp.

“The Deformed Path, quite intriguing,” Xu Fan mused, sensing the divine-like essence of the object.

With a subtle gesture, Xu Fan caused the surrounding space to coalesce, eventually forming a knife wielder radiating a chilling presence.

This was a knife wielder conjured by Xu Fan through the Deformed Path.

“Do you possess consciousness? Tell me about yourself,” Xu Fan asked, sensing the emotions emanating from the knife wielder.

“I began training with a knife at three, mastered it by sixteen, and at eighty-one, I ascended by slicing through the void.”

“At three hundred, I reached the true immortal level, and by three thousand six hundred, I had slain three Golden Immortals while still a true immortal.”

“At thirteen thousand, I became a Golden Immortal, and by forty-six thousand, I grasped the chaotic knife intent, achieving Great Luo.”

The knife wielder spoke slowly, each word warping the space around him as he struggled to break free.

“Does everything summoned by the Deformed Path possess its own intelligence?” Xu Fan wondered aloud, observing the knife wielder.

The knife wielder before him was merely a manifestation born from the divine object, not under Xu Fan’s control.

“It’s clear you desire to live,” Xu Fan remarked softly.

“Having comprehended the chaotic knife intent, I have the potential to become a saint. No matter my form, I do not wish to perish,” the knife wielder replied solemnly.

Xu Fan sensed that the knife wielder was constantly gathering energy to sustain his current state.

“All is transient. Why not return to the chaos sooner?”

“I will open a path to the Chaotic Mist Area for you. Whether you survive or not depends entirely on your own fate.”

Xu Fan raised his hand slightly, creating a teleportation glowing portal in the air.

The knife wielder gazed at the portal, bowed to Xu Fan, and stepped through.

“This divine object is fascinating—a manifestation of the Deformed Path.”

“What kind of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure should I craft with this?” Xu Fan pondered, stroking his chin.

When he had left Avatar Number Three, he had already gained a basic understanding of the divine object’s nature.

Xu Fan then used the divine object to create more diverse beings.

These beings carried their own memories, as if they were destined to exist in this world.

However, from the moment of their creation, they required vast amounts of energy to sustain their lives.

After spending some time in the Hidden Spirit Sect, these beings eventually dissipated.

Through these creations, Xu Fan gradually mastered the use of the divine object.

Now, Xu Fan faced two choices: transform the object into his Number Five Avatar or refine it into a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.

“I’ll turn it into my avatar. I can’t rely solely on my main killing Number Four when I reincarnate as a mortal,” Xu Fan decided, heading to the underground space.

“This period of mortal transformation has been wasteful. I hope this isn’t the last time,” Xu Fan said as he began using the divine object to evolve his avatar.

As centuries turned to millennia,

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and sighed, “Creating a versatile avatar is no easy task.”

His Number Five Avatar, cloaked in shadow, appeared behind him, expressionless and silent.

“Grapes, assist Number Five in setting up the grand formation for transferring the large world beyond the Three Thousand Realms,” Xu Fan commanded.

“As you wish, Master.”

The Number Five Avatar vanished, and Xu Fan returned to his usual routine.

Beyond the Three Thousand Realms, in the Chaotic Mist Area, the Number Five Avatar used the Deformed Path to summon five avatars identical to himself.

Each of these avatars had their own unique lives and experiences,

yet all were unparalleled formations masters.

“Grapes, continue to supply them with energy,” the Number Five Avatar said impassively.
