240: Refining the Chaos Source Core Embryo

Only Lin Yuan stood there, holding a drab, crack-filled "stone egg" that emitted no energy fluctuations, appearing completely out of place.

"Pfft..." A sharp-eyed Divine Domain Leader couldn't help but scoff, "The leader of the Heavenly Feather God Domain chose... just a rock?"

"Could he have sensed it wrong? How could such a mundane object exist in the depths of the secret treasury?"

"It seems that while his combat power is strong, his judgment and Opportunity are lacking." Someone whispered, carrying a hint of schadenfreude. After all, they had seen Lin Yuan's dazzling performance through the recordings, and seeing him seemingly "fail" now, some couldn't help but feel a secret thrill.

The gaze of Abyss of No Way also fell upon the stone egg in Lin Yuan's hand. A flicker of imperceptible surprise crossed his eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky, before it turned into profound contemplation. He clearly recognized the extraordinary nature of the object, but only knew of its antiquity and peculiarity; its specific utility was likely not even clearly recorded in the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasury, as it had been dormant for too long, and no one had been able to trigger its power.

"Everyone has gained something; it is all fate." The voice of Abyss of No Way rang out, suppressing the subtle discussions in the arena. "The Epoch Battlefield will open soon, and the Feather Transformation Realm Prodigy Tournament finals will be held in one month. I hope you will make good use of what you have gained and uphold the name of our Heavenly Abyss at the Taichu Divine Continent finals!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! We will certainly not fail the Imperial grace!" The crowd bowed again.

The gaze of Abyss of No Way lingered on Lin Yuan for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only nodded slightly, and his figure dissipated like a bubble in front of the Imperial Palace.

Lin Yuan turned a blind eye to the discussions and gazes around him. He lowered his head to look at the seemingly ordinary stone egg in his hand, feeling the unprecedented agitation and longing of his Chaos Body Origin, and a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Chaos Origin Core Embryo... The Opportunity to fully nurture the Chaos Body lies right here!"

He gripped the stone egg tightly, his plan already set in his mind.

"There is still one month until the Taichu Divine Continent Feather Transformation Realm Prodigy Tournament finals... One month in the outside world is... eighty-two years in the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm!"

The rules of the Taichu Divine Palace dictate that the Cultivation time for each Martial Artist in the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm is limited, with each major Realm only rewarding one month of outside time. Previously, he was rewarded one month at the Dharma Domain Realm, and upon promoting to the Feather Transformation Realm, he was gifted another month. These two precious periods of accelerated time must be cherished dearly!

A blazing light erupted in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Return to the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm! Refine this object and fully Awakening the Chaos Body! When that time comes, the position of leader of the Taichu Divine Continent... and even the final Grade 10 primal gold seal, will all be within my grasp!"

He did not linger any longer. After confirming the location of the teleportation array back to the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm with the Imperial Dynasty deacon in charge of reception, his figure turned into a streak of Chaos light, heading towards the teleportation array.

The Imperial City sped away beneath his feet, but Lin Yuan's mind had long since sunk into that grayish-brown stone egg. He could clearly feel the Grandmist Origin, which had been dormant for endless years inside the stone egg, slowly Awakening under the guidance of his Chaos Great Dao and the chaos green lotus Origin. It was like a Chaos volcano about to erupt, containing the great power to reshape the heavens and earth.

The Heaven-Grade Secret Realm, a thousand-fold time flow, the Chaos Origin Core Embryo... everything was ready.

Once the Chaos Body is complete, it will be the moment Lin Yuan truly ascends to the pinnacle of the Feather Transformation Realm of the Taichu Divine Continent with an invincible posture, pointing his sword at the Epoch Battlefield, and even the legendary path to sainthood!

The Heaven-Grade Secret Realm, the core vortex of the Sea of Laws.

The boundless, violent torrents of Laws formed a relatively "calm" absolute Domain here, like a point of tranquility in the eye of a storm. The time flow here was distorted to the extreme by the rules of the Secret Realm; one day in the outside world was a thousand years here.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared silently in the center of the vortex filled with Chaos Qi. He sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, beneath him the roaring torrents of Laws that were isolated by an invisible, great power. Three pairs of massive chaos wings slowly unfurled behind him like six sky-covering divine shields, not only isolating him from the erosion of the violent external energy but also forming an independent, small Chaos Domain, completely shrouding this vortex core.

He spread his palm, and the grayish-brown, crack-filled "Chaos Origin Core Embryo" floated quietly. Stimulated by the dense Chaos Qi at the core of the Secret Realm, those seemingly dead, crack-filled surfaces of the stone egg now faintly revealed an extremely weak, dark golden light that pulsed like a heartbeat.

"Let's begin." Lin Yuan whispered, his eyes as calm as an eternal cold pool, with only the Chaos Heart Light deep within burning with unprecedented intensity.

Deep in his Sea of Consciousness, the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart pulsed thunderously, and the eternal, indestructible dao rhyme spread throughout his body. 15% of the Chaos Great Dao Origin was fully triggered, turning into an incomparably pure flow of Chaos Qi, like countless living Chaos divine chains, surging from his palms and wrapping gently yet firmly around the stone egg.

Hum—!

The moment the Chaos Qi flow touched the surface of the stone egg, a sudden change occurred!

The seemingly rough stone shell shook violently! An indescribably ancient, pure, and vast Chaos aura erupted like a giant beast that had been sleeping for eons! This aura was so primitive and so magnificent that the Domain set up by Lin Yuan with his fourth-order chaos wings shook violently, emitting a groan of being overwhelmed! The entire core vortex of the Sea of Laws was instantly stirred by this aura, and billions of Law torrents let out terrified shrieks, madly rolling backward to form a huge vacuum zone!

The cracks on the surface of the stone egg suddenly lit up, no longer a faint dark gold, but erupting with blinding Chaos divine light! Within the light, countless, infinitely tiny Chaos runes that seemed to contain the secrets of the Universe's birth flowed and flickered! An unimaginable suction force was generated from inside the stone egg; it was no longer devouring external energy, but like a greedy black hole, it began to frantically suck back the Chaos Great Dao Origin that Lin Yuan was pouring into it!

"Good! This is exactly what I wanted!" Lin Yuan was not alarmed but delighted. Far from resisting, he completely released the suppression on his own Chaos Origin!

Rumble—!

Inside Lin Yuan's body, the Chaos Body Origin, which had been nurtured to 50%, boiled over like dry firewood that had been ignited! The majestic and pure Chaos blood energy, like a bursting galaxy, surged along his arms and poured into the stone egg without reservation! At the same time, the phantom image of the chaos green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness erupted with unprecedented clear radiance. The lotus platform rotated, and billions of strands of the chaos green lotus Origin power, containing the true meaning of creation and the evolution of all things, poured into the stone egg like a galaxy falling from the Nine Heavens!

The stone egg seemed to have become a core hub for energy conversion and excitation. Lin Yuan's Chaos Great Dao power, the chaos green lotus Origin power, and the Chaos Body Origin blood energy—the three combined, like the most violent catalyst, frantically poured into and impacted the dormant Origin aura inside the stone egg!
