185: Chaos Source Liquid

The crisis was temporarily averted, but Lin Yuan knew this was just the beginning. His first confrontation with Yuan, the Prodigy of the Feather Transformation Realm, though fraught with danger, allowed him to truly witness the power of higher Realms and clarify his path forward! In the precious time remaining in the Primordial Chaos Realm, he not only had to expand his Domain and strive for the Feather Transformation Realm, but also grow against the clock under the “attention” of this formidable enemy!

Yuan’s declaration of “attention,” filled with cold interest and blatant threat, was like a sharp sword hanging over Lin Yuan’s head. Far from crushing him, it completely ignited the unyielding and ruthless streak in his bones. He sat cross-legged amidst the Chaos Turbulence, his surrounding dao patterns flickering erratically, like a lighthouse in a storm.

“Feather Transformation Realm... energy materialization... Wings of the Azure Heaven...” Yuan’s overwhelming power and the qualitative change brought about by his Domain transforming from virtual to Reality, were deeply imprinted in Lin Yuan’s mind. That was the threshold he had to cross, and the goal he had to defeat! In this perilous Primordial Chaos Realm, every moment was incredibly precious!

He cast aside all distracting thoughts and immersed his mind in the profound world of the Chaos Origin Scripture. The scripture flowed, no longer just simple energy guidance, but began to attempt to simulate and deduce the grand process of “Dao giving birth to one, one to two, two to three, and three to all things” when Chaos first opened. The chaos green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness seemed to have rooted deeper into the Chaos Origin, drawing the purest and most ancient Origin Qi from the Primordial Chaos Realm, continuously transforming it into power to nourish his Domain and Divine Soul.

The process of repairing the Domain was itself a deeper refinement. He used the Chaos Origin Scripture as the guiding principle and the chaos green lotus’s Origin as the catalyst, thoroughly integrating the omnipresent terrifying pressure of the Primordial Chaos Realm, as well as the experience of nearly shattering and then forcefully repairing his Domain while resisting Yuan’s might, into every inch of his Domain’s barrier. The newly formed dao patterns, now fused with spatial distortion patterns, became more complex and profound, like a natural Chaos formation diagram. Not only did its defensive power greatly increase, but it also subtly gained the characteristic of actively transforming and absorbing Chaos energy for its own use.

After the repair was complete, the Domain’s range stabilized at 3,500 meters! It was even better than before! Although there was still a huge gap compared to the materialized Domains of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of meters at the Peak of the Dharma Domain Realm, its profound Foundation and the lofty Concept it contained already far exceeded the imagination of ordinary Dharma Domain Realm Peaks.

However, Lin Yuan knew this was not enough! Far from enough!

He suddenly stood up, his gaze like a torch, locking onto the depths of the Primordial Chaos Realm, that area where spatial distortions were most violent and Chaos Turbulence roared like billions of Mad Dragon! There, it was a Jedi that even Prodigies of the Feather Transformation Realm like Yuan might need to treat with caution!

“Primordial Chaos Realm, the greater the pressure, the greater the Opportunity! Yuan, your ‘attention’ will only become my stepping stone to reach a higher Peak!” Lin Yuan’s eyes gleamed with a wild yet resolute light. He was no longer content to passively endure pressure; he wanted to actively delve into the desperate situation, seeking a greater Breakthrough on the edge of life and death!

He removed part of the Domain’s protection on himself, retaining only the defense of the core area, and dedicated most of his mind to guiding and refining the external Chaos pressure. With one step, it was like a Mortal stepping into a deep-sea vortex!

“Boom!”

Instantly, pressure several times stronger than before squeezed in from all directions! It was no longer simple spatial pressure; it was mixed with chaotic Law fragments, like countless poisoned blades, madly cutting at his Physical Body and Divine Soul! Chaos Evil Qi was even more pervasive, attempting to erode the Origin of his will!

Excruciating pain! Tearing! Erosion! A triple torment descended instantly!

The greenish-gold dao patterns on Lin Yuan’s body flickered wildly, emitting “sizzling” sounds, as if they could be worn away at any moment. He grunted, golden blood tinged with Chaos Qi once again spilling from the corner of his mouth. But his forward steps did not falter in the slightest; instead, they became even more resolute!

“Origin Scripture! Refine all Laws! chaos green lotus! Suppress the Divine Soul!” Lin Yuan roared in his heart.

The Profound Truths of the Chaos Origin Scripture were operated to their extreme. The chaotic Law fragments that cut at him were forcibly incorporated into the scripture’s deduction system, becoming “nourishment” for him to comprehend the diversity of Chaos Law. Although the process was incredibly painful, like swallowing blades, it continuously deepened and broadened his understanding of the Chaos Great Dao amidst the agony.

The chaos green lotus within his body swayed, shedding clear light, like a divine needle stabilizing the sea, firmly protecting the core of his Sea of Consciousness and resisting the erosion of Chaos Evil Qi. The will of the supreme war spirit was completely merged with him, granting him an indomitable and battle-hardened supreme mindset!

He was like the most tenacious Chaos stubborn stone, repeatedly hammered and forged in a violent furnace! The Domain struggled to maintain its form under extreme pressure; although its range could not expand, its barriers visibly became more condensed and thick. The profound Chaos dao patterns continuously optimized and perfected themselves in destruction and rebirth, emitting a luster that was almost imperishable.

Time lost its meaning in the depths of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Lin Yuan did not know how far he had walked, or how many impacts from Law fragments and invasions of Evil Qi he had endured. He was covered in blood, riddled with wounds, and his aura fluctuated, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, like burning Chaos stars! The power within him, under extreme exertion, became purer and more condensed, and his control over Chaos rapidly improved.

Just as he felt his will and Domain were about to reach their current critical limit, the chaos green lotus within his body suddenly stirred. Following this subtle movement, Lin Yuan sensed a strange faint light suddenly appear deep within the violent Chaos Turbulence ahead!

The light was extremely faint, like a firefly in the endless Chaos storm, yet it exuded a pure, ancient aura, as if it were the mother source of all things! This aura was utterly different from the violent Chaos of the Primordial Chaos Realm, carrying a wondrous rhythm that calmed everything and nurtured all creation, instantly captivating Lin Yuan’s entire mind!

“This is...?” Lin Yuan suppressed the intense pain and exhaustion, staring intently. He saw, suspended at the center of that area where space was distorted to the extreme, almost forming a small black hole, a drop of... liquid?

It was only the size of a grain of rice, exhibiting an indescribable color that was between transparent and chaotic. Its form was not fixed, but constantly flowing and changing, as if it contained the nascent form of the Universe’s birth and destruction. It hung there silently, and any violent Chaos Turbulence that approached within a foot of it would become docile and orderly, like a tamed wild horse, even actively merging into that strange drop of liquid, causing its light to flicker slightly.

“chaos origin fluid?!” A shocking thought instantly surged into Lin Yuan’s mind! He had seen vague records of it in the Legacy information of the Chaos Origin Scripture! This was a supreme divine object that could only be born in the most core region where Chaos first opened and the Great Dao manifested, after countless years of precipitation and condensation of the most fundamental Chaos essence! A single drop contained the mighty creative power to split heaven and earth, an unparalleled treasure for refining the Physical Body, nourishing the Divine Soul, expanding the Domain, and even comprehending the Chaos Great Dao! Its value might even be comparable to the Dao Seed that he was initially refining and devouring in his Sea of Consciousness!
