204: The gestation of chaotic bodies

The abyss was silent; only the surging Chaos power on Lin Yuan's body and the dao rhyme emitted by the green lotus projection resonated in silence.

The subsequent battle lasted for less than ten breaths before the battlefield became as dead as a tomb. The remains of the Myriad Dao Realm source beast, like shattered mountain ranges, slowly rose and fell, dissolving within the viscous dark Chaos, emitting a final wail of the Great Dao. Lin Yuan stood with his sword; the tip of the newly transformed chaos heavenly extreme sword hung low, and a drop of chaos origin fluid condensed from the core Origin of the spatial beast was being greedily absorbed by the blade, making a faint "sizzling" sound. On the dark star map flowing across the sword's body, a phantom star representing "Space" suddenly lit up, emitting a sharp aura capable of shattering dimensions.

On his chaos heavenly evolution robe, the nine Chaos Star Cores rotated slowly like living astral eyes, shedding a protective divine light of Chaos stars that silently pushed away and annihilated the remaining ripples of destructive energy. Behind him, the three pairs of chaos wings, promoted to the Middle Stage of the third rank, were quietly folded; every feather contained a miniature Chaos world accelerating in its evolution, with majestic power coursing endlessly between the wings.

However, Lin Yuan's gaze had already pierced through all of this, locking onto the center of the space—the nine-grade chaos green lotus projection that was so massive it seemed to carry the heavens and myriad worlds! It floated quietly, Chaos mist swirling above the lotus platform, manifesting supreme scenes of the creation of heaven and earth and the birth and death of galaxies, emitting a supreme dao rhyme like a mother's gentle call, creating a strong resonance with the swaying green lotus phantom deep in Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.

"chaos green lotus... Mother Source of Myriad Daos..." Lin Yuan's voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling; it was a throb originating from his life Origin. He clearly felt that although this projection was not a physical entity, it was the ultimate manifestation of the great dao origin flow of the first layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm! If he could refine and absorb it, not only would his comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao advance by leaps and bounds, but it would also complete the most central puzzle piece of his Chaos Foundation!

"Phew—" Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and the viscous Chaos airflow surged into his lungs, turning into pure energy. He no longer hesitated and stepped forward, his figure instantly appearing directly in front of the massive green lotus projection. Facing this projection of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, he put away the chaos heavenly extreme sword, withdrew the sharp edge of his wings, and even dispersed the armor formed by the War Spirit on his body, leaving only his most pure Origin body, which flowed with the divine radiance of an Innate Dao Body at 25% Awakening.

He sat cross-legged in the void like a pilgrim, his hands slowly forming the supreme dharma seal recorded in the Chaos Origin Scripture for communicating with the Chaos Mother Source.

"Green lotus as the guide, Origin crystal as the bridge, Great Dao as the return... Refine!"

Buzz—!!!

As the dharma seal was formed, the green lotus phantom in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, transformed from a twelve-grade chaos green lotus seed, erupted with unprecedented and boundless green light! The lotus platform spun wildly, and its roots surged like thirsty tentacles, piercing through the barriers of the Sea of Consciousness to reach out toward that massive green lotus projection!

At the same time, the chaos origin crystal in Lin Yuan's palm, which had a corner consumed, suddenly lit up, turning into a brilliant light bridge that encompassed all colors and returned to Chaos. One end connected to the green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness, while the other end fiercely pierced into the core lotus platform of the massive green lotus projection ahead!

Rumble—!!!

The entire second layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm seemed to shake violently at the moment the connection was completed! The viscous Chaos at the bottom of the abyss was like a boiling sea of fury, and a violent energy storm erupted instantly!

Lin Yuan's body became the core of the storm!

The boundless majestic power of the Chaos Origin and fragments of the Great Dao Laws contained in the massive green lotus projection, as if finding a vent, flowed along the light bridge constructed by the Origin crystal. Mixed with the remaining terrifying energy of the Origin crystal itself, it turned into a Chaos flood ten or a hundred times more violent than the previous refinement of the Origin crystal, instantly pouring into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness and washing through his limbs, bones, and Soul Origin!

"Pffft—!"

Lin Yuan felt as if he had been hit with full force by a Myriad Dao Realm expert, and a mouthful of blood mixed with Chaos essence and traces of golden light sprayed out! The divine radiance of the Innate Dao Body on his surface dimmed instantly, and his skin cracked inch by inch, like porcelain about to shatter! His bones emitted dense popping sounds like frying beans! Even more terrifying was the Soul level, where the flood of the most primordial Great Dao information contained in the chaos green lotus projection, like billions of Chaos stars, exploded in his consciousness simultaneously!

Intense pain! Tearing! Annihilation! Assimilation!

Lin Yuan felt like a grain of dust cast into a cosmic furnace, liable to be completely decomposed and return to the point of Chaos Origin at any moment!

"Chaos... inclusion... evolution... I am Chaos... Chaos is me..." At the edge of this extreme destruction and assimilation, Lin Yuan's will was like an undying star burning in a cosmic storm! Every rune of the Chaos Origin Scripture ignited, turning into chains of order that stabilized the world, wildly organizing and guiding this destructive flood. In his Sea of Consciousness, the roots of the green lotus phantom firmly plunged into the flood, and the evolution speed of the miniature Universe atop the lotus platform reached an inconceivable limit. Billions of stars were born and died in rotation; its structure and rules were wildly absorbing and digesting this supreme nourishment from the mother source projection, becoming more real, stable, and grand than ever before!

He "saw" deeper and further!

He saw how the chaos green lotus was gestated and born within the chaos singularity, how its roots plunged into "nothingness," and how its lotus leaves propped open the initial "existence"!

He saw how the Chaos Great Dao, through the meridians of the green lotus, branched out into the River of Time, the Web of Space, the Wheel of Life and Death, the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram... Myriad Daos were like the petals of the blooming green lotus, born from the same source yet each possessing its own mystery!

He saw the storm of destruction racing through the veins of the green lotus leaves, eventually turning into a sweet rain that nourished life; he saw the violent chaos thunder striking the lotus platform, instead refining chaos origin crystals containing the power of creation... This was the blueprint of Chaos evolution! It was the ultimate mystery of the common Origin of myriad daos!

Time lost its meaning.

When the Chaos flood, which was enough to burst a Myriad Dao Realm expert, finally began to settle and completely integrate into every particle and every wisp of Lin Yuan's consciousness, a grand and distant chaos dao sound, which seemed to have existed since the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, rang out simultaneously from the deepest part of his Soul and from the core of the massive green lotus projection!

"Dong—!!!"

The dao sound was like a great bell, echoing through the Primordial Chaos Realm! The cracked skin on Lin Yuan's body instantly healed, and the divine radiance of the Innate Dao Body not only recovered but also took on an ancient dao rhyme that was as warm as jade and contained the Chaos galaxy! His cracked bones reorganized, branded with subtle lotus patterns, becoming even more resilient and immortal; golden chaos divine blood surged in his veins, emitting the aura of the creation of heaven and earth! A final transformation originating from his life Origin was completed—the words [Chaos Body (Gestation 5%)] completely stabilized on the Data Panel, jumping from [Chaos Body (Gestation 1%)]! His physical strength and recovery power underwent a qualitative leap!
