11: Chaos-breaking Nascent Soul

"Mountain-guarding servant?" Yun Qingyao looked at the twitching, half-severed body of the pseudo-Nascent Soul Fiend Spirit on the ground, emanating foul and ominous energy, then at the nirvana vermilion bird grass in the medicinal garden, radiating boundless light and divine aura. Her beautiful face showed a complex expression. Using a pseudo-Nascent Soul Fiend Spirit as a servant? And feeding it grass? Master's idea... is too ruthless!

However, she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. With a gentle wave of her delicate hand, the clear, cold power of moonlight transformed into crystalline chains, firmly binding the half-dead Fiend Spirit's remnant body. She dragged it like a dead dog towards a relatively concentrated area of fiendish energy in a corner of the barrier. She then casually grabbed a handful of grass, containing a faint chaotic vitality, from the freshly harvested chaos spiritual rice stalks next to the spiritual field and threw it onto the Fiend Spirit's face.

"Ugh..." The Fiend Spirit's remnant soul let out a painful and humiliated whimper, instinctively absorbing the meager vitality from the grass, barely clinging to life. An invisible Chaos Array Pattern extended from the barrier, imprinting itself deep into its remaining soul fire, binding its humble life and death completely to the sect's barrier—a living gate-guarding soul lamp, lit by a pseudo-Nascent Soul Fiend Spirit!

"Done." Yun Qingyao clapped her hands, looking at the servant whimpering in the shadows of the corner, emanating a faint, eerie green soul fire. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. Master's methods... truly make the most of everything, utterly black-bellied.

Lin Xuan, however, was unfazed. He walked with his hands behind his back into the ancient, massive Chaos Grand Hall. The hall was empty, with only a silver pool, about ten feet square, in the central area, where concentrated Star Spiritual Liquid had gathered on the ground. Star radiance flowed within the pool, and a misty aura rose, resembling a liquid galaxy. This was the core manifestation of the All Heavens Star Spiritual Vein fragment!

"The foundation is laid; it's time to advance further." Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the center of the Star Pool, his dark robes fluttering without wind. He inwardly observed his dantian, where the Chaos Golden Core (All Heavens Stars Myriad Paths Return to Ruin Sword) slowly rotated. The immense and vast power of stars, return to ruin, and Sword Intent contained within it had long reached the limit of the Golden Core stage! Previous intense battles, the slaying of Nascent Souls, the annihilation of Soul Transformation cultivators, and the massive amount of origin energy from his disciples' ten-thousand-fold returns had already pushed this Chaos Golden Core to the brink of breaking through!

"System!" Lin Xuan's thoughts were like thunder. "Use one All Heavens Myriad Worlds Lottery chance! Target: Breakthrough resources!"

All Heavens Myriad Worlds Lottery activated!

The roulette is spinning... Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid! Primordial Star Origin Crystal, Primordial Fierce Beast - Nether Candle Dragon Egg!

"Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid? Primordial Star Origin Crystal?" Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up! Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid, formed from Chaos Origin, contained the power of creation and destruction of all things! The Primordial Star Origin Crystal was an even greater treasure, capable of drawing upon the power of the primordial stars to construct a supreme Nascent Soul Dao Embryo! And a Nether Candle Dragon egg? That was a primordial fierce beast that controlled the power of the netherworld and swallowed the Yellow Springs! This lottery was practically tailor-made for him!

"System! Immediately fuse the Primordial Star Origin Crystal into the Chaos Golden Core! Use Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid! Target: Shatter Core to form Soul!"

Fusion successful! The Primordial Star Origin Crystal has been integrated into the Chaos Golden Core!

Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid used successfully! Beginning to assault the Nascent Soul stage bottleneck!

Boom!

An indescribably terrifying energy erupted within Lin Xuan's body!

Within his dantian, the already perfected Chaos Golden Core, containing the All Heavens Stars, Chaos Return to Ruin, and Eternal Sword Intent, burst forth with unprecedented dazzling starlight upon the integration of the Primordial Star Origin Crystal! The entire Golden Core was like a supernova explosion, its volume instantly expanding to its limit, its surface covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks!

A single drop of Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid, like the first primordial water that opened the heavens and earth, gently dripped onto the core of theOn the verge of breaking Golden Core!

Buzz!

Like the Big Bang of a cosmic singularity!

The Chaos Golden Core, expanded to its limit and covered in cracks, shattered with a roar under the impact of the Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid!

No destruction! Only rebirth!

Endless Chaos Origin power, Primordial Star power, Return to Ruin annihilation power, Eternal Sword Intent power... all the powers, under the command and catalysis of the Chaos Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid, converged like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, frantically collapsing and condensing towards the core of the shattered Golden Core!

A tiny, nascent Chaos Nascent Soul, flowing with chaotic starlight, its surface engraved with Return to Ruin sword patterns, and at its core, a point of Chaos Sword Intent that was eternally indestructible, suddenly appeared at the core of the shattered Golden Core!

The nascent Nascent Soul, only an inch tall, yet exuded a supreme pressure that could suppress all heavens and shatter all ages! It sat cross-legged, its features identical to Lin Xuan's. As its eyes opened and closed, the left eye manifested the birth and death of the All Heavens Stars, while the right eye's Sword Intent severed the long river of time!

Boom! Boom!

Four vast and boundless origin powers, disregarding spatial distance, directly poured into Lin Xuan's newly condensed Chaos Nascent Soul!

The Lunar Moon Soul Origin Sea transformed into a clear and vast silver ocean, nourishing the Nascent Soul and enhancing its divine sense resilience!

The Chaos Array Dao Origin Talisman Sea transformed into countless profound Chaos Array Pattern torrents, integrating into the Nascent Soul's surface Dao patterns, enhancing its control and deduction of all-heaven array formations!

The Chaos Sword Tomb Projection, on the other hand, transformed into a miniature space filled with endless Chaos Sword Qi, directly imprinted around the eternal Sword Intent at the core of the Nascent Soul, causing it to be tempered by myriad swords at all times!

Eight hundred thousand times of Chaos Sword Bone origin tempering further transformed into billions of intensely condensed Chaos Sword Qi, furiously refining the core Sword Intent of the Nascent Soul, making its edge even sharper and its essence sublimated once again!

Lin Xuan's Chaos Nascent Soul, like a supreme deity presiding over the center of the universe, greedily devoured this ten-thousand-fold returned colossal resource! Although the Nascent Soul was only an inch tall, the power it contained and the intensity of its essence already surpassed that of a peak ordinary Nascent Soul, directly approaching Soul Transformation! The chaotic starlight flowing on the Nascent Soul's surface became even more dazzling, the Return to Ruin sword patterns even deeper, and as the core Sword Intent pulsed, it seemed capable of cleaving all heavens!

A terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth tremble, like an awakened Chaos Divine Demon, erupted from Lin Xuan's body with a roar! It instantly broke through the obstruction of the Chaos Barrier, sweeping across the entire Fallen God Wasteland! Those ominous forbidden zones deep within the wasteland, previously suppressed, were now like being firmly pressed down by an invisible giant hand under this pressure, all their auras instantly becoming deathly silent!

Outside the barrier, the Lie Tian Divine Tiger and Earth-Rending Demonic Ape cubs, who were dragging back a half-dead, mountain-sized Golden Core peak "Pangolin" Fiend Spirit, were struck by this pressure. The Lie Tian Divine Tiger's fiery golden divine flames surged, letting out an excited roar! The demon ape cub, however, plopped down on the ground, prostrating itself towards the Grand Hall, letting out a respectful whimper.

Inside the Grand Hall.

Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Within them, chaotic star rivers flowed, return to ruin rose and fell, and Sword Intent was eternal! With a slight thought, the inch-tall Chaos Nascent Soul leaped out from the crown of his head, hovering above the Star Pool! The tiny Nascent Soul, however, exuded the supreme majesty of a ruler of all heavens!

"The Chaos Nascent Soul is complete." Lin Xuan's lips curled into a controlling smile.

Just then!

Ding! Detected host breakthrough to Nascent Soul stage! Sect foundation solidified!

Triggered sect upgrade conditions!

Invincible Sect of the Heavens (Proto-form) upgraded to: Invincible Sect of the Heavens (Newly Established)!

Obtained: Sect Core Building Upgrade Authority!

Obtained: All Heavens Star Palace Core Construction Blueprint!

Obtained: Sect Exclusive Secret Realm, Chaos Sword Tomb Projection solidified!

The cold system prompt, accompanied by a massive amount of information, flooded into Lin Xuan's sea of consciousness!

"All Heavens Star Palace? Chaos Sword Tomb solidified?" Lin Xuan's eyes gleamed! His thoughts raced: "System! Immediately use the All Heavens Star Palace construction blueprint! Select location: Sect core, replace original basic Grand Hall! Integrate Chaos Sword Tomb Projection!"

Command received! Beginning construction of All Heavens Star Palace core! Integrating Chaos Sword Tomb Projection... Rumble!

The entire Chaos Grand Hall vibrated violently! The hall roof shattered with a roar! A colossal pillar of starlight descended from the nine heavens, completely enveloping the Grand Hall!

Within the light, the originally simple basic Grand Hall was like a giant serpent shedding its skin, rapidly expanding, rising, and reorganizing under the infusion of star power! Countless star phantoms appeared and solidified on the walls, dome, and pillars! The entire Grand Hall seemed to be compressed and condensed from billions of stars, flowing with brilliant starlight! The internal space was infinitely expanded, and above the dome, a miniature phantom of a Sword Tomb composed of Chaos Sword Qi slowly rotated, exuding a heart-pounding sharpness!

In just a few breaths!

A All Heavens Star Palace, a thousand zhang tall, entirely cast from star divine gold, with a Chaos Sword Tomb Projection suspended above its roof, exuding a supreme majesty that suppressed all heavens and the universe, replaced the original Grand Hall, standing majestically at the sect's core! Around the Star Palace, the dense star spiritual energy had almost liquefied into a silver river, flowing around it!

Below the barrier, Yun Qingyao, Chu Xinghe, and Leng Yuechan bathed in the star spiritual rain and Chaos Sword Intent, their cultivation soaring like rockets! Chu Xinghe, even more enlightened, his array disk glowed brightly. Outside the barrier, a "Nine Nether Illusionary Annihilation Chaos Array" covering a hundred-mile radius, integrating Nine Nether fiendish energy and Chaos Array Patterns, roared into form! At the array's eye were several half-dead Golden Core Fiend Spirits, dragged back by the Lie Tian Divine Tiger and the demon ape! The mournful wails of the fiend spirits became the background music for the array's operation!

"Awoo!"

The Lie Tian Divine Tiger seemed to sense something, suddenly looking up towards the depths of the Star Palace! The Nether Candle Dragon egg was casually placed by Lin Xuan next to the Star Pool. At this moment, the eggshell vibrated violently, and profound netherworld runes appeared on its surface! A cold, deathly, yet infinitely vital netherworld power permeated the air!

"It's about to hatch?" Lin Xuan's eyes moved.

Crack!

A crack appeared at the top of the eggshell! A small claw, covered in fine, dark scales and entwined with wisps of Yellow Springs aura, extended out! Immediately after, a tiny dragon head with two crystalline horns on its crown emerged from the eggshell, its eerie blue dragon eyes curiously surveying this star-drenched world.

Primordial Fierce Beast - Nether Candle Dragon cub successfully hatched!

Automatic recognition of master! Bound as the Invincible Sect of the Heavens' mountain-guarding fierce beast!

"Roar~" The Little Candle Dragon let out a tender dragon's cry, clumsily crawling out of its eggshell. Its body was only the size of a domestic dog, covered in dark scales, with faint Yellow Springs aura flowing between the scale gaps. Its four small paws were still unsteady, wobbling. But when its gaze met Lin Xuan's, its eerie blue dragon eyes immediately filled with adoration and reverence.

The Lie Tian Divine Tiger walked over with elegant steps, its amber eyes filled with scrutiny. The Little Candle Dragon felt the pressure of the higher-grade divine beast bloodline from the Lie Tian Divine Tiger, as well as the aura of the same-source Vermilion Bird divine flame, and instinctively shrank its neck, letting out a fawning "purr" from its throat.

"From now on, it's under your command." Lin Xuan transmitted his voice to the Lie Tian Divine Tiger.

The Lie Tian Cub, now the size of a calf, let out a triumphant low growl, extended a paw, and gently patted the Little Candle Dragon's head with its paw pad. The Little Candle Dragon immediately rubbed affectionately against Lie Tian's paw. The Earth-Rending Demonic Ape cub also came over, curiously looking at its new little brother.

Outside the Star Palace, there was a mix of dragon roars, tiger roars, and ape cries, adorably fierce.

Lin Xuan stood at the highest point of the Star-Gazing Platform on the Star Palace, his dark robes fluttering under the dome where the galaxy flowed. He overlooked the sect: the Chaos Barrier was majestic, the Star Palace suppressed the universe; the Nine Nether Illusionary Annihilation Grand Array enveloped all directions; ten thousand chaos spiritual rice plants glowed with radiant light; the ancient medicinal garden was vibrant with life; the nirvana vermilion bird grass revealed faint crimson-golden divine patterns; the three disciples each displayed their divine abilities; the three divine beasts and fierce beasts were beginning to take shape... "Invincible Sect of the Heavens," Lin Xuan murmured to himself, chaotic starlight flowing in his eyes, with the supreme confidence of controlling all heavens, "It's time to make an appearance."

With a slight thought, his divine sense spread like a net, instantly covering the entire Fallen God Wasteland and extending beyond it!

"System, issue the All Heavens Edict!"

"Announce to this world!"

"Invincible Sect of the Heavens opens its gates to recruit disciples!"

"All who possess spiritual roots and firm resolve may come to test!"

"Those who pass three trials may enter the outer sect!"

"Those with exceptional talent and superior character may become my personal disciples!"

"Limited to one month!"

All Heavens Edict successfully issued!

Using the Chaos Nascent Soul's divine sense as a guide, covering this world!

All cultivators above Foundation Establishment stage can sense it!

Buzz!

An invisible edict, containing chaotic will and supreme majesty, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang World!

At this moment, no matter where they were, whether in seclusion or not, all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage heard a cold and grand voice boom in their minds:

"All Heavens Edict!"

"Fallen God Wasteland, Invincible Sect of the Heavens, opens its gates to recruit disciples!"

"One month's time, no waiting after the deadline!"

The entire Xuanhuang World instantly boiled over!

"What? Fallen God Wasteland? That ancient forbidden zone? Opening a sect?"

"Invincible Sect of the Heavens? What a big boast!"

"Chaos Will? This... this is at least the means of a Soul Transformation mighty one!"

"Opportunity! A heaven-sent opportunity! Quick! Go to the Fallen God Wasteland!"

"Hmph! Playing tricks! I'd like to see who dares to call themselves invincible!"

Countless streaks of light, some shocked, some greedy, some doubtful, some fanatical, rose from all corners of the Xuanhuang World like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, tearing through the sky, frantically converging towards the Fallen God Wasteland, which had been shrouded in deathly silence and fiendish energy for ages!

A storm was about to arrive!

Lin Xuan stood atop the Star Palace, watching the countless streaks of light streaking across the sky like a meteor shower, a cold and cunning smile on his lips.

"The bait has been cast..."

"It's time to reel in the net."
