148: Tiantu Demonstration: More Secrets Revealed

Receiving her husband's encouragement, Su Qingxue suppressed the excitement in her heart and slowly closed her eyes.

Her Divine Thought spread out in all directions like a tide through the "myriad laws celestial map" at her brow.

In this moment, the world in her eyes changed completely.

It was no longer mountains, rivers, grass, and trees, but a massive network composed of countless Law lines and energy nodes. The flow of the wind, the movement of Spiritual Qi, the orientation of the earth's meridians—everything became incredibly clear in her eyes, as if she were looking at the lines on her own palm.

"myriad laws celestial map, rise!" Su Qingxue called out softly in her heart.

She did not choose those immensely powerful slaughter Formations. Instead, with a thought, she activated the most basic yet most profound transformation within the celestial map—Space.

Buzz—

With her as the center, the space within a ten-mile radius instantly underwent a bizarre distortion.

Chu He and Chu Tian, who were originally standing beside her, saw their figures blur. In the next moment, they actually appeared at the foot of a mountain ten miles away. Even that mountain of resources, piled high like a hill, was silently shifted to another location.

Throughout the entire process, there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of energy, as if this space had always been this way.

"Dad?!" Chu Tian was greatly shocked. He had no idea what had happened; he only felt a blur before his eyes, and he had changed locations.

A sharp light flashed in Chu He's eyes.

"Good technique!" he praised inwardly.

This wasn't simple teleportation, but rather "folding" and "displacing" the space within this area in an instant. Unless one's Divine Soul was powerful enough to perceive the subtle changes in the Laws of Space, it would be impossible to detect.

If used against an enemy, they could be shifted into a pre-arranged killing Formation while completely off-guard.

And this was only the most basic application!

"Qingxue, try something more complex," Chu He said loudly, his voice crossing the ten-mile distance and clearly entering Su Qingxue's ears.

Atop the mountain peak, a confident smile curled on Su Qingxue's lips.

She gave a gentle wave of her jade-like hand.

"Zhou Tian Star Dou, heed my command! Rise!"

Boom!

The originally clear sky instantly turned dark, replaced by a brilliant starry sky that enveloped a hundred-mile radius.

Three hundred and sixty-five massive phantom stars moved along profound trajectories in the starry sky, shedding endless starlight. Each beam of starlight contained terrifying power sufficient to strangle a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Chu Tian looked up at this familiar starry sky and recognized it instantly.

"This is... the Great Array of Celestial Body Shifting from home?!" he exclaimed.

Correct! This was exactly the scene of the Chu family's highest defensive Formation!

But they were clearly in another world hundreds of millions of miles away. How did Mother summon this great array?

A look of satisfaction also appeared in Chu He's eyes.

This was the most Heaven-Defying ability of the "myriad laws celestial map"—Myriad World Coordinates!

Through the celestial map, Su Qingxue established a connection with the "Great Array of Celestial Body Shifting" back in Chu City within the Xuanhuang Realm, projecting its power directly here across the world barriers!

Although there was energy loss during transmission due to the extreme distance, and the power of this "projected" array was less than ten percent of the original, it was still enough to trap and kill ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators!

"Star Dou Strangling!"

Su Qingxue pointed her slender hand gently toward a patch of empty ground below.

In the starry sky, dozens of stars shone brilliantly as endless starlight converged into a massive stellar vortex, crashing down upon that empty ground.

Boom—

The earth trembled violently, and a massive crater a hundred feet deep appeared where the ground had been. The edges of the crater were as smooth as a mirror; all matter had been completely annihilated by the violent stellar power.

This power had already far exceeded the limits of Su Qingxue's own Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation!

"Withdraw."

Su Qingxue was satisfied. With a thought, the sky full of stars and the Formation's light curtain instantly vanished, and the sky returned to its clear state.

Her figure flashed, crossing the ten-mile distance to appear before Chu He and Chu Tian, a faint flush of excitement on her pretty face.

"Husband, this myriad laws celestial map... is too powerful," she praised sincerely.

With this treasure, her combat power had increased by more than a hundredfold. She now felt confident that even if she faced a powerhouse at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage, she could trap them to death using her endless stream of Formations!

"This is only its initial power," Chu He smiled. "When your cultivation improves in the future and you completely fuse it with your 'nine-apperture exquisite heart,' at that time, you'll be able to set up celestial killing Formations with a single glance and shift entire worlds with a single thought."

Hearing this, Su Qingxue's eyes filled with yearning.

The family of three was happy and harmonious.

However, the smile on Chu He's face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn once more.

He knew it was time to let them know more of the truth.

"Qingxue, Tian'er," Chu He said in a heavy voice, "you feel very powerful now, don't you?"

Su Qingxue and Chu Tian looked at each other and nodded.

Chu Tian held his dragon spear, feeling he could fight a Soul Transformation Cultivator. Su Qingxue possessed the celestial map, confident she could trap a Void Refining expert. This was indeed an unprecedented level of strength.

Chu He shook his head, his tone becoming incredibly serious.

"But I must tell you, our current strength is still... vulnerable before the true enemy."

Vulnerable?

Su Qingxue and Chu Tian were both stunned.

"Husband, just what kind of existence are those 'Outer-Realm Heavenly Demons'? Are they even more powerful than the Void Refining Realm?" Su Qingxue couldn't help but ask.

"Outer-Realm Heavenly Demons?" Chu He gave a self-mocking laugh. "Those are just scouts sent by the other side, not even worth being called cannon fodder."

He took a deep breath and selectively told his wife and son the cruel truth he had glimpsed from Soul One's memories and during his Bloodline analysis.

"Our enemy is a race of cosmic locusts called the 'Star-Devouring Demon Clan.' They live by devouring worlds. Their fleets are forged from bone and flesh, and they traverse the heavens, having wiped out countless civilizations."

"The so-called 'Seventh Demon General' I killed earlier was merely a commander of one of their vanguard fleets, and his cultivation was only at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage."

"And above them, there are even more terrifying Demon Sovereigns and Demon Kings. Those are existences at the Void Refining, Body Integration, and even the legendary Mahayana Stage."

"Most importantly..." A deep sense of wariness flashed in Chu He's eyes. "They are currently building a massive 'star gate' in a galaxy not far from us. In three years, once the star gate is completed, the true main army of the Demon Race will descend."

"And their supreme leader, the Star-Devouring Demon Emperor, is a... monster that could even defeat the Ancient Dragon God."

Boom!

Every word from Chu He was like a heavy hammer, smashing ruthlessly into the hearts of Su Qingxue and Chu Tian.

They were completely dazed by this cruel truth.

The strength they were proud of was as insignificant as a speck of dust before such a world-destroying cosmic civilization.

Void Refining? Body Integration? Mahayana?

Each of those Realms represented the supreme powerhouses of a Star Domain! And such enemies were actually only middle-to-high level within the Star-Devouring Demon Clan?

And then there was... the Demon Emperor who could even defeat the Ancient Dragon God!

A deep sense of powerlessness and suffocation enveloped Su Qingxue and Chu Tian.

"Then... Dad, what should we do?" Chu Tian's voice was trembling. For the first time, he felt an emotion called "despair."

"What should we do?"

Looking at the pale faces of his wife and son, Chu He did not feel dejected. Instead, a blazing Battle Intent ignited in his eyes.

He pulled his wife into his arms with one hand and pressed the other heavily onto his son's shoulder.

"It's simple!"

"Before they arrive, become stronger than them!"

"If they have Demon Sovereigns and Demon Kings, then everyone in my Chu family shall be like dragons, all capable of becoming gods!"

"They want to build a star gate in three years? Then we will use these thousand-plus years (inside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda) to forge a divine army capable of sweeping across the heavens!"

Chu He's voice was forceful and resonant, filled with an unquestionable dominance and confidence that instantly dispersed the gloom in Su Qingxue's and Chu Tian's hearts.

That's right, what was there to fear?

They had a time advantage of over three hundred times! They had the Heaven-Defying cheat of "bloodline armament"! And they had this indomitable husband (father)!

"Husband is right!" Su Qingxue's gaze became firm again. "We still have time!"

"Dad, I understand!" Chu Tian also gripped his dragon spear tightly. "I will definitely become stronger, strong enough to share your burdens!"

"Good!" Chu He nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, our time is very precious."

He turned to look at that mountain of resources, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"While we are still in this resource-rich world, we will forge the 'bloodline armament' for every core member of our Chu family right here!"
