Little Su Was Baffled
On the Chillwind Plateau, howling winds swept across the land.
The Shadow Demon Chief and the Crystal Rock Chief were idly hovering in mid-air, staring mockingly at the dark entrance to the passage.
In their view, that arrogant Human Race woman should have already been torn into the purest fragments of Origin Source by the Regional Source Spirit.
"Almost there," Shadow Demon Fiend chuckled hoarsely. "Get ready for our feast."
The chief of the Crystal Rocks responded in a deep, resonant voice, his enormous crystal eyes gleaming with greed.
Just then, a ripple appeared at the edge of the spatial passage.
It's here!
The two chiefs perked up, their smiles growing even more sinister.
However, the smiles on their faces froze instantly the next second.
What emerged from the passage was not the scattered points of Origin Source light they had expected, but a seemingly harmless, even somewhat curious, ten-year-old child who was looking around.
Shadow Demon Chief: "..."
Crystal Rock Chief: "..."
A stunningly beautiful woman went in, but how did she come out... a little kid?
What the hell is going on?
The next moment, the surprise and doubt in their hearts were replaced by a more primal and intense flame.
Greedy!
They sensed it.
What a vast and pure Origin Power is contained within this Human Race child who looks no more than ten years old!
The quality of that power was like divine metal from the heavens, a world apart from Su Qingyue, whom they had been chasing—it was like comparing a firefly to the moon!
This is a walking, human treasure trove!
A divinely ordained opportunity that could allow them to break free from their constraints and achieve instant success!
As for how he passed through the passage and where Su Qingyue went, these questions instantly became insignificant in the face of absolute self-interest.
"You little Human Race brat, you have a path to heaven but choose to barge into hell." The Shadow Demon Chief let out a hoarse laugh, his greedy eyes fixed on Chen Fan from the swirling black mist around him. "Refine you, and perhaps my Shadow Demon Dao Seed can advance First Tier!"
The chief of Crystal Rock was even more direct, speaking in a deep, booming voice, his tone carrying an undeniable domineering authority. "Seventy percent of his Origin Source belongs to me."
You're dreaming!
The two began arguing as if no one else was around, as if Chen Fan were already fish on a chopping board.
However, the object of their argument tilted its head at that moment, and a pure, innocent smile appeared on its childlike face. Its voice was clear and crisp as it spoke:
"It was you two who chased my little brother down to the point of almost crying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind on the Plateau seemed to freeze for a moment.
The argument between the Shadow Demon Chief and the Crystal Rock Chief came to an abrupt end. Two pairs of eyes, gleaming with greed, turned to Chen Fan at the same time, and they were taken aback.
Little brother?
Crying?
However, upon seeing Chen Fan's somewhat disdainful gaze, a surge of anger welled up within them.
This brat... he actually looks down on the two of them!
"Court death!"
The chief of the Crystal Rocks roared furiously, no longer hesitating, and slammed his massive rock foot into the ground.
"Boom!"
The entire Plateau trembled violently, and hundreds of black crystal spikes, tens of meters long and as sharp as divine weapons, sprang up from the earth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, piercing Chen Fan from all directions and completely sealing off all his escape routes.
Each stone spike exudes a powerful and violent force, enough to easily pierce through a mountain range!
At the same time, the Shadow Demon Chief's figure had already transformed into a wisp of almost invisible black smoke, silently appearing behind Chen Fan in the gaps between the crystal forest.
A jet-black short blade, formed from the power of ultimate shadow, silently materialized and pierced Chen Fan's back at an incredibly tricky angle.
This is their ultimate killing technique, a double blow on both the physical and Divine Soul levels. When combined, even a powerful expert at the Perfection of the Organ Refining Realm will only meet their demise.
However, faced with this Heaven-and-Earth Net, all-encompassing attack, the child trapped in the center didn't even lift an eyelid.
He just gave a slightly impatient smirk.
"What a piece of trash!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually threw a straight punch backward.
Wherever the fist passed, visible ripples spread through the space, like the surface of a calm lake tossed with a stone.
Those black crystal stone forests, strong enough to pierce through mountains and seemingly indestructible, melted silently like snow under the sun the moment they came into contact with that ripple, turning into the most primitive dust and stone powder that fell down in a flurry.
The shadow blade, powerful enough to tear apart Divine Soul, along with the Shadow Demon Chief behind it, didn't even have time to utter a scream before being completely crushed and disintegrated into countless black specks of light within that invisible ripple.
The overwhelming rage and greed in the enormous crystal eyes of the Chief Crystal Rock instantly froze, replaced by an extreme fear emanating from the depths of his soul.
He wanted to escape.
But his body seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as the ripple spread over him at an unstoppable speed.
"Click..."
A soft sound.
His crystal body, comparable to divine metal, shattered inch by inch, and then, like the Shadow Demon Chief, transformed into countless earth-yellow light spots.
Chen Fan's fist finally stopped in mid-air.
From the moment he threw his punch until the two Alien Races chiefs, along with their attacks, completely vanished from the world, the entire process took no more than three breaths.
After doing all this, Chen Fan acted as if he had casually swatted two buzzing flies.
He opened his mouth and gently inhaled at the countless points of Origin Source light.
"Call!!"
The black and yellow light spots instantly transformed into two dazzling streams, which he swallowed whole.
"Belch."
Chen Fan smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, as if he had only eaten two bland, even slightly chewy, appetizers.
He dusted off non-existent dust from his hands, turned around, and strolled leisurely back into the dark passage.
He was muttering to himself:
"With this level of skill, how did he become the chief? Is there no one else in the Myriad Laws Source Realm?"
The passageway was deathly silent.
Having witnessed everything unfolding on the Plateau, Su Qingyue's mind was completely blank.
Although she knew Chen Fan was exceptionally talented, he was no useless person to become the top genius among the Alien Races Prodigies.
Even she was relentlessly pursued and unable to fight back.
She watched Chen Fan stroll back leisurely, then subconsciously glanced to the side.
Shen Xuan was still lying sprawled on the ground, a serene expression on his face, as if he had already seen through everything.
At that moment, Su Qingyue suddenly felt that Shen Xuan's posture seemed... quite reasonable.
