192: Wing Rank

"Unfortunately, a drop in the bucket!" Lin Yuan calculated rapidly in his heart, a cold, self-deprecating smirk immediately appearing.

According to the terrifying consumption patterns for upgrading the rank of these supreme-grade chaos wings:

Upgrading a single wing from Tier 1 to Tier 2: The required amount of primal beginning origin crystals surges to—1 billion! The combat power bonus for a single wing doubles, reaching 200 million feathers!

Upgrading a single wing from Tier 2 to Tier 3: The required primal beginning origin crystals surges another tenfold, reaching—10 billion! The combat power bonus for a single wing doubles again, reaching 400 million feathers!

And the 71.73 million he currently possesses... are far from enough, not even reaching one-tenth of what is needed to upgrade a single wing from Tier 1 to Tier 2! Let alone upgrading all six wings simultaneously! That would be an astronomical figure sufficient to make even a top Holy Land ache with pain—6 billion!

"71.73 million? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!" A cold, wild arc appeared at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth. His gaze, like a tangible sword, pierced through the churning Chaos Qi flow, locking firmly onto the unknown core region of the Primordial Chaos Realm—a place deeper, more violent, and seemingly capable of swallowing even light itself!

There, the Chaos Qi flow condensed into billions of Dragons of destruction, and the distorted space tore open embryonic black holes that devoured everything, exuding an aura where death and Opportunity coexisted, chilling to the bone.

"Only here! Only the Heaven-Defying Opportunity nurtured in the first layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm—the primal beginning origin crystal mine!—can support the advancement of my wings and forge true heaven-propping power!"

Massive, almost endless resources of primal beginning origin crystals! This was the key to his combat power achieving another exponential leap and dealing with the Epoch Catastrophe!

A desire strong enough to incinerate the galaxy and a monstrous Battle Intent rose up from the bottom of Lin Yuan's heart!

The countdown to the opening of the Epoch Battlefield was like a sword hanging over his head; the urgency of time was suffocating.

This Primordial Chaos Realm, a supreme treasure land with a thousand-fold time dilation, was the perfect hunting ground for him to race against time, transform into a Chaos hunter, and seize the foundation sufficient to establish his future as a powerhouse!

He no longer hesitated. His chaos wings stirred up a divine light that could split the heavens and earth, and his figure completely plunged into the Chaos abyss churning with death and Opportunity!

"Roar—!"

As if sensing Lin Yuan's undisguised will to plunder, several roars that shook the Soul suddenly erupted from deep within the first layer at the edge of the Primordial Chaos Realm!

They were more violent and ancient than the Chaos Fierce Spirits encountered before, containing a terrifying pressure capable of destroying stars!

Shadows as massive as mountain ranges flickered in the chaotic turbulence, and crimson giant eyes, like blood moons, locked firmly onto Lin Yuan, the "foreign object" that had intruded into the core area.

These were the guardians naturally nurtured by the Primordial Chaos Realm, the incomparably powerful Chaos Origin Beasts! Their lairs were often accompanied by the most precious resources!

"Just in time!" Chaos Qi suffused Lin Yuan's eyes. Instead of fearing them, a raging fire of battle ignited within him.

The three pairs of chaos wings on his back suddenly erupted with brilliant divine light, like six Chaos divine swords capable of splitting heaven and earth, instantly pushing aside and purifying the surrounding chaotic airflow!

"I will use you as the stepping stones to obtain resources!" Lin Yuan let out a low shout, and his figure instantly blurred.

Hum!

With a mere, extremely slight flap of his chaos wings, Lin Yuan's figure seemed to merge with space itself, directly crossing layers upon layers of violent turbulence and appearing above the head of a massive Origin Beast that resembled a giant crocodile, its body covered in Chaos crystal armor, and its aura comparable to the Peak of the Myriad Dao Realm!

The speed was so fast it transcended spatial limitations; this was precisely the ability that came with Lin Yuan's chaos wings: Void Shuttle!

The Chaos Origin Beast reacted extremely quickly, its giant tail, covered in ferocious bone spikes, carrying a shrill whistle that tore through the Void Realm, lashing out fiercely at Lin Yuan. Wherever it passed, the Chaos Qi flow was compressed into devastating energy blades!

Lin Yuan's eyes were cold; he didn't even make any unnecessary movements.

One of the three pairs of chaos wings on his back suddenly lit up, and endless Chaos might condensed!

A terrifying beam of light, composed of pure Chaos Origin and flowing with green lotus divine patterns along its edges, erupted from the tip of the wing. It did not shoot out; instead, it "descended" like divine punishment directly onto the lashing giant tail!

Sss—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion. That giant tail, capable of shattering stars, along with the violent energy it contained, dissolved and annihilated silently the moment it touched the Chaos beam, just like ordinary iron thrown into an origin furnace!

It didn't even cause a ripple of resistance! The beam continued unabated, instantly piercing through the Chaos Origin Beast's head, which was comparable to divine metal!

"Awoo..." The Origin Beast's massive body stiffened suddenly, its crimson giant eyes dimmed instantly, and it let out a short, desperate wail.

The massive life essence within its body was domineeringly extracted and swallowed by the Chaos beam that had pierced its head, transforming into a stream of pure energy that flowed continuously into the chaos wings on Lin Yuan's back.

The light of the wings seemed to become a fraction more solid! Powerful life essence—this was the second substance, besides primal beginning origin crystals, that could upgrade the rank of the wings!

However, the energy required to upgrade the wings was too vast, so absorbing large amounts of primal beginning origin crystals was the most effective way to upgrade the wing rank.

Instant kill! A Chaos Origin Beast comparable to the Peak of the Myriad Dao Realm was fragile and defenseless before Lin Yuan, who had ascended to the Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm and possessed chaos wings!

"Too weak!" Lin Yuan didn't even spare a glance at the dissipating remains of the Origin Beast.

His powerful Divine Sense, under the enhancement of the chaos green lotus, acted like invisible tentacles, piercing through layers of violent turbulence and spatial folds, keenly capturing the fluctuations of pure primal beginning Origin energy.

In the first layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm, Lin Yuan explored deeper and deeper. One day, two days, three days... Time lost its measure in the void of Chaos, and only the ripples stirred when his Divine Sense swept across space verified the trajectory of its passage.

When his figure passed through another layer of energy turbulence, his Divine Sense touched upon an unusually active fluctuation of Origin energy.

"Found it!" Brilliant light erupted in Lin Yuan's eyes as he locked onto an area deeper in the Primordial Chaos Realm where space was extremely distorted, forming a natural barrier.

There, he sensed an unprecedented, vast-as-the-sea aura of primal beginning Origin energy! It was like a sleeping Dragon, lurking in the core of Chaos!

"A mine! It must be a large or even super-large primal beginning origin crystal mine!" Lin Yuan felt thrilled in his heart.

If he could occupy this mine, with its reserves, let alone upgrading his wings to Tier 2, even charging toward Tier 3 would be highly promising!

The three pairs of chaos wings on his back shone with brilliant divine light, interweaving into a stable Chaos force field that firmly protected him within.

Lin Yuan took a step forward, ignoring the spatial turbulence vortices and Chaos Evil Qi storms ahead that were sufficient to strangle ordinary beings of the Feather Transformation Realm, and pierced toward the sensed source like a sharp sword!

"Those who block me, die!"

Lin Yuan's goal was incomparably clear—seize the mine, upgrade his wings, and welcome the impending Epoch Catastrophe with a stronger stance!

Lin Yuan's gaze pierced through the violent chaotic turbulence, firmly locking onto that core region of distorted space.

There, the aura of primal beginning Origin energy, so dense it had almost become tangible, was like waves of invisible tides, crashing against his perception.

The chaos green lotus swayed joyfully in his Sea of Consciousness, its roots seemingly wanting to pierce into that treasure land from across the Void Realm!
