258: The 903rd Era Begins

"Refine!"

With a thought, the majestic Chaos power, like the most precise carving knife, cautiously guided that strand of violent Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, slowly merging it into the core of his Chaos Body's Origin!

Boom—!!!

The moment the essence blood touched the Origin, a Chaos star seemed to detonate within Lin Yuan's body! Unimaginable primordial force and world-opening intent erupted wildly! His Minor Achievement Chaos Body was instantly illuminated to the extreme, as dark golden runes spread, reorganized, and deepened across his flesh, bones, Meridians, and internal organs at an unprecedented speed! Every flicker of the runes was accompanied by the agonizing pain of creation and rebirth! The violent energy of the entire Sea of Laws, as if summoned by a supreme authority, converged frantically toward the center of the vortex where he was, greedily absorbed by the devouring vortex of his Rank 6 wings, turning into fuel to support this terrifying transformation!

In the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm, time flew by. One day outside was nearly three years here.

Lin Yuan's figure was completely enveloped by an expanding Chaos Light Cocoon, within which scenes of world creation were evolving. Every pulse of the cocoon caused the entire Secret Realm space to vibrate, and the aura it emitted climbed at a terrifying speed.

At the same time, the primal divine seal on the back of his hand glowed faintly. Lin Yuan separated a strand of his mind and sank into it, as if opening a star chart composed of Chaos mist. Under his mental deduction, the coordinate information for the core area of the "903 Divine Domain" was becoming clear bit by bit. He could almost "see" the distorted spatial structure of that area, the intertwined Laws of destruction and rebirth that were exceptionally active, and... a certain indescribable supreme attraction that seemed to originate from the very beginning of the Grandmist!

The ten-day period was but a brief moment in the outside world.

In the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm, however, twenty-seven years had passed!

When Lin Yuan emerged from the cocoon again, what state would his Chaos Body have reached? How much foundation could the Rank 6 wings accumulate under Devouring Evolution? And what kind of feather transformation supreme would descend upon the mysterious core of the 903 Divine Domain with an invincible posture?

The Chaos Light Cocoon pulsed silently, like the heart of a world-opening god or demon. Outside the Secret Realm, undercurrents surged in the Taichu Divine Continent as various forces made final preparations for the upcoming Epoch Battlefield. An invisible storm was quietly gathering amidst the ticking of the ten-day countdown.

The tenth day, morning.

A grand, cold voice of will, seemingly originating from the Universe's Origin, ignored spatial distance and boomed simultaneously in the depths of the Souls of all Feather Transformation Realm Prodigies in the Taichu Divine Continent who possessed a primal gold seal:

"The 903rd Era—Begins!"

"Seal Holders, follow the guidance of the Heavenly Dao immediately and proceed to the entrance of the 903 Divine Domain within one day!"

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

The moment the voice of the Heavenly Dao fell!

Rumble—!!!

The Chaos Light Cocoon, which had pulsed at the center of the violent Law vortex for twenty-seven full years, as if injected with the final and most violent catalyst, suddenly erupted with billions of blinding rays of Chaos Divine Radiance! The brilliance was so intense that it instantly penetrated the multiple spatial barriers of the Secret Realm, illuminating the entire Heaven-Grade Secret Realm like the starting point of the Chaos creation!

Crack! Crack-crack—!

The surface of the cocoon, which was indestructible and capable of withstanding clashes in the Hunyuan Realm, was instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks! An inexpressibly ancient, pure, and overbearing terrifying aura, like a Chaos Ancestral Dragon that had slept for eons fully awakening, swept out with the power of world creation!

Under the impact of this aura, the core vortex of the entire Sea of Laws calmed down instantly like a gentle lamb! The violent waves of Laws froze and decomposed, turning into the purest Chaos Qi, surrounding the about-to-break cocoon as if worshipping a king!

"Roar—!!!"

A spirited dragon roar, seemingly originating from the era before the Grandmist was divided, pierced through the cocoon and resounded through the Secret Realm! This was not the roar of a phantom, but a resonance from the source of life and the depths of the Bloodline! It was the qualitative sublimation of the Chaos Body after refining that strand of world-opening intent Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood!

Bang!!!!

The cocoon shattered completely! Countless fragments containing Chaos Dao Principles flew in all directions, only to be silently annihilated upon touching the outer Chaos Domain, turning into nourishing nutrients.

As the light dissipated, Lin Yuan's figure reappeared.

He was still sitting cross-legged in the void, his black robes like ink. But at this moment, he was a completely different person compared to twenty-seven years ago!

His skin was as warm as jade, yet it seemed to be cast from the purest chaos divine gold, flowing with an extremely restrained dark golden luster. Beneath the skin, countless complex and profound Chaos runes, several times deeper than before, flowed slowly; every flicker caused the surrounding space to silently distort, be created, and be destroyed. His bones were crystal clear, and inside, a miniature Chaos galaxy seemed to be slowly rotating, emitting an eternal and indestructible Dao rhythm. His internal organs had transformed into five Chaos nebulae, independently breathing in massive amounts of Chaos Qi; every pulse was like the heartbeat of a Chaos giant god, shaking the void!

As his eyes opened and closed, his left eye evolved with vitality—no longer a primitive forest, but a vast picture of the birth of galaxies and the prosperity of civilizations; his right eye was deathly still and withered—not of bones and nether soil, but the ultimate Reincarnation of stars being extinguished and all things returning to ruin! And at the very core of that cycle of life and death, that speck of glazed Chaos Heart Light had become even more condensed, brilliant, and eternal! It seemed to have transcended life and death, pointing directly to the Chaos Origin!

The Minor Achievement Chaos Body had reached the Peak of Minor Achievement Perfection! It was only one step away from the true Major Achievement Realm! What the refining of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood brought was another leap in the essence of life!

Behind him, the three pairs of Rank 6 chaos wings did not unfurl but simply hung naturally. However, their form had undergone subtle changes. The wing bones were thicker and more powerful, like Chaos divine pillars supporting the heavens. The Chaos Primordial Runes flowing on the wing membranes had not only exploded in number but also intertwined with each other, forming profound diagrams that seemed to explain the birth and death of the Universe! At the edges of the wings, those tiny devouring vortices were now rotating more deeply and stably, emitting a heart-palpitating suction, as if they could tear and devour space itself! The ability of Devouring Evolution, after twenty-seven years of continuously devouring the violent energy and Law fragments of the Secret Realm's core, had clearly been honed to be as natural as moving his own arms.
