477: The essence of the Virgin Mary

Chen De was currently contemplating whether to preserve this Immortal Law level combatant for now or simply devour him... Devouring Grand Elder Third should be able to give Chen De's cultivation a boost.

Reaching ten percent in Slaughter Law Profundity, which is the perfection of the Demon Venerable Realm First Transformation, should be no problem.

As for cultivation, when he first arrived at the Zhengyuan Sect, his average was one point.

After absorbing Yang Li's Inner World, each attribute increased by 0.7, reaching 1.7 points.

Following that, after dealing with Tang Xin, Chen De went to the sect's treasury and 'safeguarded' as many things as he could.

However, most of the items kept there were meant for distribution to the sect's disciples and elders.

There were very few items at the Immortal level; one could even say there were almost none.

As for the rest... they might be peerless treasures to them, but to an Immortal like Chen De, they were quite mediocre.

But they made up for it in quantity; after all, it was a sect's treasury.

However, Chen De hadn't refined or absorbed them yet. After taking the items, he rushed here to wait for Grand Elder Third.

If he were to devour him right now, his overall attributes could probably increase by over one point.

Chen De looked at Grand Elder Third, Hong Yu, before him and finally decided to spare his dog life for now.

Since he couldn't break through to the Demon Venerable Realm Second Transformation, the boost to his combat power wouldn't be very significant.

It would be better to preserve this Immortal Law Realm First Transformation combatant for now and deal with Supreme Second Elder as well.

Of course, Chen De's ultimate goal was still the Grand Elder of the Zhengyuan Sect.

An existence at the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation—he truly wanted to witness it for himself.

So Chen De made his decision. After he 'reformed' Supreme Second Elder Shi Li this time,

He would immediately set off to pay a visit to the Grand Elder and properly test the other's strength.

If he couldn't handle it, he'd change plans; if he could, then... with a single glance from Chen De, Hong Yu beside him instantly understood his meaning, the two of them acting in such perfect synchronicity they might as well have been one person.

Similarly, Chen De wanted to use a 'white lie' to lead Shi Li to a secluded place far away from the Zhengyuan Sect.

Then, Chen De and Grand Elder Third, Hong Yu, would strike together to suppress him.

Although Shi Li was at the peak of the Immortal Law Realm, with strength far beyond what Yuan Chen or Hong Yu could compare to,

Chen De was still confident in taking him down.

Moreover, in Chen De's subsequent plans, whether or not he could deal with the Grand Elder, Shi Li would play a very crucial role.

With the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation absent, Supreme Second Elder Shi Li's combat power was in the top tier of the Xichen Domain.

Afterward, Chen De took out all the items he had 'safeguarded' from the sect's treasury, as well as all of Hong Yu's savings.

He had Hong Yu open his Inner World, and Chen De dove straight in.

Hong Yu's Inner World was much larger than Yuan Chen's, with an average three-dimensional size of about five hundred light-years.

The flow of time inside was already more than twice that of the outside world.

It was no wonder they said the Inner World was a privilege of the Immortal Realm; why couldn't it be born in the Mortal Realm?

Setting aside spatial pressure for a moment, just this terrifying temporal pressure alone—

Besides post-transformation Immortal Matter, what else could withstand it?

Upon entering, as expected, Chen De immediately encountered Yuan Chen's will within the Inner World.

Currently, it was being ruthlessly suppressed; it was impossible for it to gather power or condense into a physical form.

As for what was suppressing Yuan Chen's will, it was precisely his own power.

Using one's own power to suppress oneself; as long as one does not die, the suppression is infinite.

Chen De smiled and gave him a friendly greeting, making a gesture of goodwill.

As if sensing Chen De's friendliness, Hong Yu's will suddenly became agitated.

He looked incredibly excited, causing the entire Inner World to tremble uncontrollably in welcome of Chen De's arrival.

Really, even though Chen De hadn't given any orders, it would just start twisting involuntarily all day long.

Indeed, this was not a qualified... Ignoring it, Chen De casually found a life-bearing planet within a certain star system.

Walking down the center of the street, he felt the hustle and bustle, the coming and going of people... such a lively scene.

The current population of this planet was roughly over three trillion, and Chen De was in its most prosperous city.

The person managing this planet held an item called the Hong God Iron Decree.

It was bestowed by the supreme Creator God—the Hong God—to rule over the Mortal Realm here on his behalf.

It was worth mentioning that the Hong God Iron Decree was hereditary and carried a trace of the world's rule power.

Therefore, on this planet, everyone's life was predestined from the start.

Some were born to be superior, while others were born to be slaves.

Moreover, this was a planet, and even a world, where an uprising from below could never succeed.

Every person of standing here carried at least a trace of the managers' bloodline.

The closer one's bloodline was to the managers, the higher their social status.

As Chen De walked, he planned to find a place to refine and absorb the items.

Roll, roll, roll... At that moment, a small red ball rolled to his feet.

When Chen De saw it, he gave no reaction, his face remaining expressionless.

“Big brother, I'm sorry, that's my ball.”

A tender young girl's voice sounded beside Chen De.

Turning his head, he saw a little girl in a white dress, only about seven or eight years old.

Chen De didn't speak but stared straight at her.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have likely been so moved by the attention of the Supreme Holy Mother that they would have burst into tears.

But the little girl was different; she just stared with clear, large eyes, looking at Chen De with a bit of timidity and curiosity.

Her two index fingers tapped together in front of her chest. “I'm sorry, big brother, that's my ball. Can you give it back to me?”

Looking at her, Chen De suddenly broke into a gentle smile and rubbed the little girl's small head. “Of course!”

Then, Chen De personally picked up the ball and returned it to her.

“Thank you, big brother, you're a really good person,” the little girl thanked him.

“You're quite nice too, little sister!”

Chen De also appeared incredibly kind; this was also his Holy Mother Heart, his Holy Mother Essence, which stood in opposition to the Evil God Essence.

It was precisely by relying on it that Chen De was able to use his body to suppress the Evil God without being corrupted.

While Chen De and the little girl were having a pleasant conversation, the little girl's mother arrived.

This was a Beautiful Woman who still possessed great charm; she looked to be only in her early twenties but was already fully 'ripe'.

Her features were well-defined and her appearance outstanding; she was stunningly beautiful from any angle.

Compared to her, the little girl seemed like the pupil outshining the master, having perfectly inherited her mother's best traits.

This Beautiful Woman had a certain grace in her expression; even the anxious look she wore when she couldn't find the little girl could invisibly radiate such an aura.

She was alluring, causing countless people around to turn their heads.

Upon seeing her daughter with a strange man, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Then, she walked quickly toward Chen De's side.
