186: Life-or-death crisis

An immense ecstasy instantly overwhelmed Lin Yuan! This was absolutely a Heaven-Defying Opportunity on the periphery of the Primordial Chaos Realm!

However, after the ecstasy came a bone-chilling cold and an unprecedented sense of crisis!

The location of that drop of chaos origin fluid was the most terrifying core of spatial distortion! The pressure there was enough to instantly grind the Domain of an ordinary Feather Transformation Realm Cultivator into powder!

Even more terrifying was that Lin Yuan could clearly sense several extremely obscure yet lethally threatening auras lurking near that drop of Origin fluid!

Those were the Chaos Fierce Spirits naturally birthed by the Primordial Chaos Realm to guard the divine Origin item! They were like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, radiating a cold, greedy, and all-consuming will of destruction!

To obtain the chaos origin fluid, one not only had to withstand the terrifying pressure of that area but also face these Chaos Fierce Spirits, which possessed at least Feather Transformation Realm combat power!

Almost the instant Lin Yuan discovered the Origin fluid and his aura leaked due to his excitement— "Hiss—!"

Several cold, greedy, and destructive intentions locked onto him like poisonous needles! Those lurking Chaos Fierce Spirits had awakened!

Lin Yuan's heart constricted sharply! Ahead lay a peerless Opportunity, and behind him were lethal Chaos Fierce Spirits! Further away, a cold, playful, and greedy fluctuation of intent belonging to "Yuan" seemed to faintly drift over!

Even Yuan, who had just left, had sensed the existence of this drop of chaos origin fluid!

The true test of life and death had arrived!

Several cold, greedy, and purely destructive intentions locked onto Lin Yuan like maggots on a bone! The mother-source aura emitted by that drop of chaos origin fluid was an irresistible, ultimate temptation for these Chaos Fierce Spirits born from the chaotic aspect of Chaos, while Lin Yuan, the intruder, was their target to be torn apart and devoured!

"Roar—!" A silent roar shook the Soul within the chaotic turbulence! Three twisted shadows lunged out from the violent vortex surrounding the chaos origin fluid! They had no fixed form, resembling flowing, viscous darkness, with scarlet or eerie green light points flickering at their cores—the condensation of their destructive will! Wherever they passed, even the chaotic Qi currents were tainted and assimilated by the Evil Qi they radiated!

A terrifying aura rushed toward him! The pressure emitted by each Chaos Fierce Spirit was not the least bit weaker than the Yuan that Lin Yuan had encountered before! They were even more violent, more primitive, and more destructive! These were killing machines naturally birthed by the Primordial Chaos Realm, created to guard treasures!

A death crisis drowned Lin Yuan like a cold tide! He had just undergone extreme tempering, his injuries had not yet healed, and his power was severely depleted! Facing the siege of three powerful Chaos Fierce Spirits, it was almost a situation of ten deaths and no life!

"I cannot retreat! The Origin fluid is right before my eyes! To take a step back is to abandon all previous efforts!" Lin Yuan's eyes were instantly bloodshot, madness and extreme calmness intertwining! His path of retreat had been sealed by the Chaos Fierce Spirits; the only chance of survival was to move forward and seize that drop of chaos origin fluid!

"War Spirit! Burn Soul!" Lin Yuan roared silently in his heart! Within his Sea of Consciousness, the supreme war spirit roared at the sky, its illusory body instantly igniting with blazing Soul fire! A tragic Battle Intent that would stop at nothing, even at the cost of mutual destruction, erupted, forcibly dispersing part of the Soul suppression brought by the Chaos Fierce Spirits!

"Green Lotus! Stabilize Spirit!" The chaos green lotus swayed, erupting with unprecedented green light, acting like a pillar stabilizing the sea, forcibly steadying Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, which was violently shaking due to the pressure of the Chaos Fierce Spirits!

"Chaos Origin Scripture! Open the Path!" The runes of the Chaos Origin Scripture circulated crazily in the depths of his Soul, deducing the trajectory of the violent spatial turbulence ahead! Lin Yuan poured all his remaining power, will, and desire for that faint glimmer of the chaos origin fluid into his Domain!

"Give me—charge!"

Instead of retreating, Lin Yuan advanced, like a moth to a flame, braving the storm of destruction brought by the three Chaos Fierce Spirits, charging fiercely toward the core desperate land where that drop of chaos origin fluid was located! His Chaos Domain was compressed to the limit, barely able to protect a few zhang around him, like a small boat in a raging sea, ready to capsize at any moment!

Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, open for me!

Rip! Rip!

The sharp claws of the Chaos Fierce Spirits (condensed Evil Qi) tore through space, clawing fiercely at the barrier of his Domain! Every collision erupted with harsh friction sounds and sparks of energy annihilation! The Domain shook violently, and the dao patterns on the barrier flickered uncertainly; the powerful attacks had already exceeded the limit of what Lin Yuan's Origin Spell, Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, could withstand! Lin Yuan spat out blood, his body feeling as if it were being continuously hammered by heavy blows!

"Roar!" A Chaos Fierce Spirit shaped like a giant python opened its bloodthirsty maw, formed from chaotic Laws, and bit down viciously! Within that massive mouth, it seemed to contain a black hole capable of devouring all things!

"Slash!" Lin Yuan's eyes were golden red; using his finger as a sword, he gathered the power of the Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel and slashed out a sword light of life and death, fusing the heaven-opening true intent of the Chaos Origin Scripture and the Soul-burning will of the War Spirit! The sword light slashed into the giant mouth, erupting with blinding light, temporarily delaying its devouring, but Lin Yuan was also sent flying backward by the recoil, his Domain nearly collapsing!

The other two Chaos Fierce Spirits seized the Opportunity to attack from both sides! One sharp claw struck directly at Lin Yuan's heart from behind, while the other transformed into countless black tentacles, wrapping around his limbs and bones!

Desperate situation!

At this critical moment, a flash of resolute madness crossed Lin Yuan's eyes! Ignoring the lethal attacks coming from behind, he poured all his remaining power into his legs, and like an arrow released from a bow, he utilized the momentum of being sent flying to crash fiercely toward the core area where that drop of chaos origin fluid was located!

"Pfft!" The entangling black tentacles instantly dug into his flesh, the pain piercing his heart! The claws at his back were also about to touch his spine! However, his fingertips were only an inch away from the suspended drop of chaos origin fluid, which was emitting a warm, mother-source light!

"It's mine!" Lin Yuan roared in his heart, his fingertips erupting with a final suction force!

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the Origin fluid—a sudden change occurred! Hum!

A powerful, cold force of spatial imprisonment, bearing clear traces of artificial control, struck without warning from the side and rear! The target was not Lin Yuan, but that drop of chaos origin fluid!

It was Yuan! He was indeed lurking in the shadows, choosing to strike at the critical moment when the snipe and the clam were fighting! He wanted to be the fisherman who gains the benefit!

That spatial imprisonment force was extremely exquisite, like an invisible shackle, instantly enveloping the chaos origin fluid, intending to forcibly snatch it away!

"Yuan! You are courting death!" Lin Yuan's eyes were split with rage! He had fought to the death and nearly perished; how could he allow someone else to pluck the fruits of victory? His anger and killing intent toward Yuan instantly overwhelmed his fear of the Chaos Fierce Spirits!

At this moment of life and death, with the Opportunity about to be stolen, the chaos green lotus within Lin Yuan's body, which was rooted in his Sea of Consciousness and had been initially refined by Lin Yuan, seemed to sense its master's monstrous rage and unyielding will, as well as the strong attraction of the chaos origin fluid nearby, and suddenly erupted with an unprecedented palpitation!
