184: Wings of the Azure Sky

His gaze fell upon Lin Yuan, assessing him as if examining a peculiar object: "To be able to draw upon the Chaos Torrent to temper your Domain, and to stand firm in the depths of the Primordial Chaos Realm... Do you have a Supreme Treasure protecting you? Or... have you obtained some special Legacy?" His voice was cold and direct, carrying a condescending scrutiny.

Lin Yuan's heart and mind shook violently! The opponent could vaguely sense the existence of the chaos green lotus? The opponent's perception was truly terrifying! He suppressed the surging Qi and blood, struggling to maintain his Domain at around twenty-five hundred meters, resisting the invisible yet vast pressure of the "Wings of the Azure Heaven." He said in a deep voice, "It was merely a coincidence and Opportunity. How should I address Your Excellency?"

"Yuan." The youth in the black robe lightly uttered a single word, as if proclaiming a Law. "Your Domain has a good Foundation, containing a trace of the true Concept of Chaos Origin, but alas... it is too weak. In the depths of this Primordial Chaos Realm, barely defending yourself is the limit; attempting to expand it is just asking for humiliation." His words carried unconcealed contempt, as if stating a simple fact.

"Whether I am weak or not, we will only know after trying!" Chaos Qi permeated Lin Yuan's eyes. Instead of being crushed by the opponent's words, his inherent arrogance was ignited. Yuan's contempt was like fuel thrown into the fire of battle in his heart! He intended to use the pressure of this Feather Transformation Realm expert as the second whetstone to temper his own Domain and verify the might of the Chaos Origin Scripture!

"Oh? You want to use me as a whetstone?" Yuan's lips curled into a cold arc, as if he had seen through Lin Yuan's thoughts. "Commendable courage, but unfortunately... foolish!" He did not move, but his gaze suddenly sharpened!

Buzz—!

The originally invisible pressure of the Wings of the Azure Heaven instantly solidified a hundredfold! It was no longer the suppression of mere intent, but the power pressure truly unique to the Feather Transformation Realm, descending with a terrifying will, like a heavenly punishment from the Azure Heaven, capable of crushing star rivers and destroying all Laws! It was no longer a probing test, but genuine oppression carrying a hint of punitive intent!

"Pfft—!"

Lin Yuan felt as if he had been struck heavily, and his Domain was instantly compressed to less than a hundred meters! The newly formed Dao patterns cracked inch by inch, and the Domain barrier emitted a heartbreaking sound of fragmentation! Golden blood threads carrying Chaos Qi seeped out of his seven orifices! The immense gap was revealed beyond doubt at this moment! After all, the opponent was one of the most Prodigious Geniuses among the Feather Transformation Realm Martial Artists of this era, and the fundamental chasm was not something that could be easily crossed!

"Hmph!" Yuan snorted coldly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He seemed to feel that Lin Yuan's "overestimation of his own abilities" had wasted his time, and he turned to leave.

Just as he turned around!

"Roar—!"

A roar that seemed to originate from the Primordial Chaos Age suddenly erupted from the core of Lin Yuan's almost shattered Domain! It was not Lin Yuan's voice, but the supreme war spirit that coexisted with his Soul, which had completely gone berserk at this moment due to its master's unyielding will!

Simultaneously, deep within Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, the chaos green lotus erupted with unprecedented light! The lotus leaves spread out, and its roots deeply embedded themselves into Lin Yuan's Chaos Origin Law! The scriptures of the Chaos Origin Scripture resonated through his Soul like a great bell and chime!

"Chaos... Origin... Creation of Heaven and Earth!" Lin Yuan's eyes were crimson-gold, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, yet he let out a roar that shook the Primordial Chaos Realm! He no longer defended passively; instead, he poured all his strength, all his will, and all his comprehension of the Chaos Origin into the core of his Domain in a desperate gamble!

"Buzz—!"

In the core of the almost shattered Domain, the phantom image of the chaos green lotus instantly solidified, seeming to transform into the projection of a true Chaos Supreme Treasure! Within the heart of the lotus, an indescribable Chaos Sword Light suddenly lit up, containing the power of Creation of Heaven and Earth and the separation of the pure from the turbid! This Sword Light was not a physical attack, but the ultimate manifestation of the Domain Profound Truth, resulting from Lin Yuan's Fusion of the true Concept of the opening chapter of the Chaos Origin Scripture, the Origin of the chaos green lotus, the unyielding will of the supreme war spirit, and his own Chaos Law!

"Slash!"

Lin Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and fiercely slashed toward the crushing phantom image of the Wings of the Azure Heaven!

Szzzz—!

A faint yet incredibly clear sound of tearing fabric rang out!

The projection of the Wings of the Azure Heaven, which was as heavy as a mountain and seemed unshakable, was actually ripped open by this Chaos Origin Sword Light, creating a tiny fissure! Although the fissure was instantly sealed by a stronger force, the moment it was slashed open, a supreme Concept belonging to the initial splitting of Chaos and the Origin of the myriad Dao, like a fleeting glimpse, pierced through Yuan's Domain blockade and fiercely impacted his mind!

"Hmm?!" Yuan suddenly turned around, and for the first time, genuine astonishment, even a hint of disbelief, appeared in his cold and sharp eyes! His Feather Transformation Realm state of mind, which was as stable as bedrock, was actually shaken slightly by the "Origin" true Concept contained within that Sword Light! What shocked him even more was that he saw the fleeting phantom image of the green lotus in the core of Lin Yuan's Domain!

"A phantom image of the chaos green lotus?" Yuan's voice carried a tremor that he himself didn't notice. The way he looked at Lin Yuan completely changed, no longer with the contempt reserved for an ant, but filled with suspicion, scrutiny, and... a trace of deeply hidden greed!

"You can actually... touch upon power of this magnitude?!" Yuan's voice deepened, carrying unprecedented solemnity and inquiry. He was no longer in a hurry to leave; instead, he took a step forward. The black robe around him fluttered without wind, and an aura far more dangerous and oppressive than before began to gather. "It seems I underestimated you. State your name, little Dharma Domain Realm fellow."

Lin Yuan gasped violently. The all-out slash just now had nearly drained his power, and his Domain was precarious. But he straightened his spine, wiped the blood from his mouth, and looked directly at this Feather Transformation Realm Prodigy with eyes like an ancient Chaos sword, stating word by word:

"Lin Yuan!"

"Lin Yuan..." Yuan chewed on the name, a sharp light bursting forth in his eyes. "Very good! Remember my name—Yuan! Your Domain and Opportunity have piqued my interest. For the remaining time in this Primordial Chaos Realm, I will be 'paying close attention' to you!"

Casting a wary glance at the entrance where Lin Yuan had initially entered, Yuan's body slowly dissipated on the spot, as if merging into the Chaos. But the phrase "paying close attention" remained in this Chaos space, like a cold brand, carrying blatant threat and immense pressure.

Lin Yuan stood rooted, feeling the emptiness of power within his body and the damage to his Domain, yet a more vigorous flame burned in his heart. He knew he had successfully aroused the "interest" of this Feather Transformation Realm Prodigy, but it also meant greater trouble and challenge. He had to become stronger, faster!

He no longer hesitated, immediately sitting down cross-legged, fully circulating the Chaos Origin Scripture, drawing upon the Origin Qi of the Primordial Chaos Realm to repair his Domain and nourish himself. The chaos green lotus sprinkled soft light rain, accelerating the recovery process. The supreme war spirit also fell silent, quietly assimilating the insights gained from the extreme burst just now.
