254: Lin Yuan, leader of the Primordial Divine Continent's Ascension Realm

That Saint-Extinguishing Light, sufficient to kill any existence below the Saint Realm, shattered inch by inch starting from its tip! As if cast into the true Chaos Return to Ruin's guixu origin point, it disintegrated and dissipated silently! Without even kicking up a ripple of energy, it was completely swallowed and annihilated by that erupting Chaos Heaven-Opening Power!

The light beam dissipated!

Lin Yuan's figure still stood tall upon the supreme throne's base, wisps of Chaos Qi swirling around his fingertips, completely unharmed! Only the indestructible Chaos God Crystal base beneath his feet, with him as the center, had spread countless spiderweb-like fine cracks, silently telling of the terrifying, world-shaking power contained within that single finger strike just now!

Dead silence!

Absolute silence enveloped the Chaos Royal Court! All the Prodigies, including those fourteen arrogant Era Prodigies, were now as if petrified, mouths agape and eyes wide, staring fixedly at the figure standing on the throne base who had annihilated the Saintly Might with a single finger! Their Divine Souls were trembling, and their Dao Hearts were roaring! It was a fear and shock originating from life's instincts, brought about by an absolute power that surpassed understanding and imagination!

Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his finger, his gaze calmly sweeping across the silent battlefield below, passing over faces filled with horror, awe, and even despair. Finally, his gaze fell upon the nearby supreme throne that radiated Supreme majesty.

He no longer hesitated, took a step forward, turned around, and slowly sat down.

The moment his body touched the throne constructed of Chaos God Crystals—

"Roar—!!!"

The phantom image of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon coiled behind him let out a stirring dragon roar that resounded through the myriad worlds of the heavens. Its dragon body instantly solidified a hundredfold, transforming into a dark-gold giant dragon spanning the Chaos Royal Court, coiling around the massive supreme throne, its dragon head held high, looking down upon all living beings! Its majestic Dragon Might was like a physical tsunami, sweeping across the entire field!

Buzz—!

The phantom image of the chaos green lotus floating above Lin Yuan's head shone with ten thousand rays of light, completely transforming from phantom to reality! The ninth-grade lotus leaves unfurled, flowing with seven-colored Chaos radiance, and the naturally engraved Origin Runes upon them were clearly visible, emitting a Supreme Dao charm that encompassed the ten thousand Daos and evolved the myriad heavens! Upon the lotus platform, that miniature universe prototype rotated and expanded rapidly; stars were born and fell, continents rose and sank, and the clear and turbid were distinct, as if it were a projection of a real Universe! A vast aura of Creation permeated the air!

Rumble！

The entire Chaos Royal Court shook violently! Hundreds of millions of Divine Chains representing different Great Daos descended from the Void Realm; no longer violent, they were like subjects paying homage to their king, surrounding the supreme throne and the figure upon it, slowly circling and dancing, emitting pleasant and profound Dao sounds that contained the true essence of the Great Dao! Ten thousand Daos worshiped!

Lin Yuan sat upon the supreme throne, surrounded by the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, with the Chaos green lotus above his head and the Divine Chains of the ten thousand Dao Laws surrounding him! He was like the Chaos Dominator who opened the heavens and earth, or like the Supreme God-Emperor who ruled the myriad worlds of the heavens! An indescribable Supreme aura, transcending all things, erupted from him, sweeping through the entire Nine Heavens!

"At the end of the 902nd Era, the Feather Transformation Realm Leader of the Taichu Divine Continent—"

The grand and solemn voice of the Heavenly Dao Will, seemingly carrying a trace of recognition and gratification, sounded like a great bell from the beginning of the Universe, echoing across the Chaos Tianyuan Battlefield, echoing across the hundreds of millions of floating viewing platforms, echoing in every corner of the Taichu Divine Continent, and imprinting itself into the depths of the Souls of countless living beings!

"Lin! Yuan!"

The instant the voice fell!

Buzz—!!!

On the back of Lin Yuan's right hand, that primal gold seal, which had already reached Rank Eight, erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant golden light sufficient to illuminate the endless Chaos Void Realm! At the edge of the gold seal, the complex and profound ancient seal script for "Eight" twisted, collapsed, and reorganized within the golden light! Countless even more ancient, more noble dark-gold lines, as if containing the ultimate principles of the Universe, were frantically sketched, finally transforming into an extremely complex character that seemed capable of swallowing all light—the character for "Ten"!

[primal gold seal (Level 10)]!

Simultaneously, an unprecedented Chaos-colored pillar of light, seemingly condensing the entire Heavenly Dao Origin Will of the Taichu Divine Continent, crashed down from that giant golden eye, completely enveloping Lin Yuan on the throne!

Within the pillar of light, the unimaginably vast and majestic Taichu Divine Continent Origin power poured into Lin Yuan's body like a bursting flood! It nourished his Chaos Body, washed through his Meridians and apertures, and tempered his Divine Soul and Dao Heart! The Heavenly Dao's reward of Origin power caused his comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao, Great Dao of Life and Death, Soul Great Dao, and Great Dao of Devouring to rise rapidly!

Just as this majestic Origin was being poured in, the three pairs of chaos wings behind Lin Yuan uncontrollably spread open!

Buzz!

The Rank Five chaos wings vibrated violently within the holy pillar of light. Every feather flowing with Chaos runes seemed to come alive, greedily absorbing the purest Heavenly Dao Origin. The Chaos Origin Runes on the surface of the wings flickered and reorganized frantically, becoming deeper and more profound. The wing bones, originally as heavy as divine gold, seemed to be injected with new vitality, becoming thicker and tougher. Beneath the dark-gold luster, countless miniature black hole vortices faintly flickered and flowed deep within the wing membranes, emitting a heart-palpitating devouring aura!

"Roar!" The phantom image of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon coiling around the throne let out a dragon roar filled with joy, and a wisp of pure Ancestral Dragon Qi merged into the wings.

Boom!

As if a universal singularity had exploded, the three pairs of wings suddenly expanded, their wingspan instantly skyrocketing several times, blotting out the sky! A Chaos pressure even more terrifying and profound than before, mixed with a brand new Devouring True Intent, swept out like a storm, even causing the surrounding Divine Chains of the ten thousand Dao Laws to move aside! The edges of the wings were no longer simple Dao marks of annihilation, but had transformed into continuously rotating miniature Guixu Vortexes that seemed capable of swallowing the myriad worlds of the heavens!

The chaos wings were promoted to Rank Six!

A brand-new Supreme skill was imprinted upon Lin Yuan's chaos wings—[Devouring Evolution]! This skill could not only increase the rank of the wings by devouring the energy of all things! It could also nourish himself by gulping down the energy, Great Dao power, and even the Divine Soul Origin of opponents, transforming the enemy's power into nourishment for the growth of his own wings, achieving a Breakthrough in the rank of the wings! Its overbearing nature could be called Heaven-Defying!

"This skill came at just the right time." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Now, for his chaos wings to promote to Rank Seven, a single wing would require one hundred trillion primal beginning origin crystals; for six wings, the total would be six hundred trillion!

One must know that even for an Immortal Imperial Dynasty with deep foundations, although the annual production of primal beginning origin crystals could be called massive, they were often in a state of deficit—after all, all Feather Transformation Realm Prodigies were frantically competing for primal beginning origin crystals to increase their wing ranks and enhance their combat power.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: The treasury of the Tianyuan Dynasty might contain over a hundred trillion primal beginning origin crystals, but wanting to push the chaos wings all the way to Rank Nine by absorbing primal beginning origin crystals was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

But now, the appearance of the [Devouring Evolution] skill allowed that seemingly unreachable goal to see a glimmer of reality.

"Rank Nine wings... may not be a fantasy."
