178: Chaos Origin Sutra

His Physical Body cycled continuously between destruction and Rebirth; his bones shattered and reformed.

With every reformation, subtle lotus patterns were branded onto them, making them tougher and imbuing them with the essence of the undying Chaos.

His blood boiled, Impurities were burned away, and in their place, wisps of nascent golden divine blood radiating the aura of Chaos emerged.

His mana, like a breached torrent, surged upward with unstoppable momentum from 50 million Feather, passing 60 million... 70 million... and finally stabilizing at the terrifying height of 80 million Feather!

However, this power was too immense; like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, it galloped and roared within his body, not yet fully tamed.

It took him an unknown amount of time to barely constrain that torrent of Chaos energy—which was enough to burst a cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm—within his dao body and Sea of Consciousness, allowing the violent chaos green lotus and the War Spirit to reach a preliminary balance.

At this moment, although Lin Yuan looked disheveled, his body covered in scabs and new skin, his eyes opened and closed with an aura of Chaos permeating them.

He seemed like a walking, miniature Chaos Origin point, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

The Shadow of Chaos had long since ceased its attack.

It knelt on one knee, its black-hole-like eyes revealing complete submission: "Mas... ter..."

Through the information transmitted by the chaos green lotus, he understood that the Shadow of Chaos was the guardian of the lotus, and only a Martial Artist who had mastered the Chaos Great Dao had the opportunity to become the master recognized by the chaos green lotus.

The chaos green lotus that had just initially recognized him as its master was merely a Clone formed from one of the thirty-six lotus seeds of the true twelve-grade chaos green lotus!

In the future, once he mastered the Chaos Great Dao, he might be able to use this lotus seed to find the true twelve-grade chaos green lotus—that would be the true Chaos Supreme Treasure!

Lin Yuan recovered from the intense pain and ecstasy of the initial refinement.

He looked at the Shadow of Chaos, panting, his voice carrying a trace of hoarseness and undisguised majesty: "Rise."

The Shadow of Chaos stood up respectfully.

"What else is in this secret treasury?"

He desperately needed something deeper to organize and control the surging, nearly uncontrollable Chaos power within his body.

"Replying to Master, in the core area lies the Chaos Stele Forest, which records the true essence of the Chaos Great Dao. However, with Master's current cultivation, you can comprehend it for at most three days," the Shadow of Chaos replied.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up: "Lead the way!"

The Chaos Stele Forest was located in the deepest part of the secret treasury.

Ninety-nine Chaos stone steles of various shapes and unknown materials were arranged in a mysterious trajectory that contained the Supreme truths of the Universe.

Each one emitted a heart-palpitating, ancient fluctuation, as if carrying the secrets of the Great Dao from era after era.

Lin Yuan tried to approach a black stone stele on the outermost perimeter, but was immediately repelled violently by an invisible, massive force originating from the source of the Great Dao, causing his Qi and blood to churn.

The Shadow of Chaos explained: "Master needs to begin comprehension from the one where your own Great Dao Origin resonates most harmoniously with the stele's Law."

After putting the Shadow of Chaos into the lotus seed, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and focused.

The phantom image of the chaos green lotus, formed by the lotus seed in his Sea of Consciousness, swayed gently, scattering specks of clear radiance to help him clarify his mind and sense the stele forest.

Countless subtle Law threads flowed between the steles; some were as scorching as the sun, some as cold as the abyss, and some as sharp as swords...

Finally, his mind was firmly drawn to an unremarkable, even somewhat damaged, gray stone stele on the left.

It possessed no earth-shattering power, only a sense of returning to simplicity and the silence of all things returning to their source.

It resonated most deeply and intensely with the Chaos lotus seed Origin he had initially refined within his body, as well as the Chaos Origin Law he had grasped himself.

Lin Yuan walked toward the gray stone stele without hesitation.

When he brought his palm down to gently press against the cold, rough surface of the stele with awe and anticipation...

"Hum!"

There was no earth-shattering phenomenon.

The gray stone stele suddenly lit up with a layer of hazy gray halo, as if from the time before Chaos had separated.

In an instant, Lin Yuan's consciousness was completely pulled into an indescribable Realm by an irresistible force!

He seemed to no longer be "Lin Yuan", but had transformed into Chaos itself.

Before his eyes was no longer the stele forest, but the absolute "Nothingness" before the birth of the Universe!

There was no time, no space, no matter, no energy; there was only a deathly silent, ineffable "chaos singularity".

Then, a barely perceptible "fluctuation" occurred within the singularity.

"Boom—!"

An indescribable big explosion occurred!

It was not an explosion of matter or energy, but the birth of the "Dao"!

It was the eruption of "Being" from "Nothingness"!

It was the first division of "Chaos" by "Order"!

Endless, most primitive "dao patterns"—the basic Law runes that constitute all things in the Universe—gushed out from the source of the explosion like a breached torrent, intertwining, colliding, and evolving!

Clear Qi rose, turbid Qi sank, Yin and Yang were first divided, and the Five Elements began to appear...

A magnificent scroll of the Grandmist opening and all things evolving slowly unfolded before his "eyes"!

At the same time, a vast, boundless stream of script information pointing directly to the root of all things, accompanied by the scene of the Universe's beginning and the evolution of the Great Dao, was branded forcibly into the depths of Lin Yuan's Soul, like a divine enlightenment!

Every character seemed to be condensed from the Chaos Origin, heavier than stars; every sentence contained the Supreme truths of creating the world and nurturing all living beings!

"Chaos Origin Scripture"!

This was not a simple Cultivation Technique Legacy; it was an initiation of the "Dao", a baptism of the Soul!

Lin Yuan felt his tiny consciousness about to be completely washed away, assimilated, and annihilated in this torrent of the Universe's creation.

He desperately held onto a glimmer of spiritual light, keeping it from being extinguished.

His Innate Dao Body operated crazily, and the phantom image of the chaos green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness shone with unprecedented brilliance.

Its lotus leaves stretched, striving to absorb, organize, and bear this terrifying torrent of information and the true meaning of the Great Dao.

The light rain scattered by the phantom image was like a needle fixing the sea, stabilizing his Sea of Consciousness and nourishing his Divine Soul, which had been almost shattered by the impact of the Great Dao.

He forgot time, forgot himself, and his entire mind was immersed in this Supreme scripture that expounded on the Origin of Chaos and the root of all things.

The Chaos Origin Law, one of the four Origin Laws, which had originally reached a 100% comprehension level, was now not just undergoing a simple numerical increase, but a fundamental transformation!

It became deeper and more primordial, as if advancing from "understanding" Chaos toward "controlling" Chaos, and even "evolving" Chaos!

His understanding of the other three Origin Laws (Life, Space, Time) also received a brand-new, subversive inspiration under this grand perspective of Chaos Origin.

The connections between them became tighter, faintly showing the prototype of using Chaos as a Foundation to govern everything.

Three days of time, in this deep state of enlightenment, passed in a flash.

When Lin Yuan was enveloped by a powerful force of Space and forcibly teleported out of the secret treasury, the Chaos airflow permeating his body was no longer violent, but flowed as naturally as breathing.

Every step he took in the Void Realm caused subtle Chaos dao patterns to naturally appear and disappear beneath his feet.

The sword mark between his eyebrows was even deeper, like an abyss, as if it contained a sea of Chaos stars, emitting a wisp of original aura that caused all things to return to stillness while simultaneously nurturing new life.

That combat power of 80 million Feather was no longer a floating accumulation of energy, but had been initially organized and refined by the "Chaos Origin Scripture", becoming the foundational power that truly belonged to him, carrying the artistic conception of the Chaos Origin.

And his Innate Dao Body Awakening level had astonishingly risen to 25%, and even the grade of the seed of martial dao that was still in gestation had been upgraded from Supreme to Supreme-level!
