267: 60% Comprehension of the Great Dao of Chaos

On the lotus platform of the chaos green lotus, the evolution of the miniature Universe suddenly accelerated! The trajectories of the birth and death of stars became clearer, containing the true essence of the birth and death of Chaos; the ups and downs of the continental plates became more intense, interpreting the process of separating the clear from the turbid and the evolution of all things. Lin Yuan's mind seemed to completely merge into this prototype Universe, producing an unprecedented resonance with the Chaos Great Dao Origin.

"Chaos is neither empty nor existent; it encompasses everything, evolves the heavens, and also dominates the Return to Ruins..."

"Myriad Daos originate from Chaos, and will eventually return to Chaos..."

"The cycle of birth and death is eternity..."

Countless realizations about the true essence of Chaos lit up in his Sea of Consciousness like brilliant stars. Those once obscure and difficult Great Dao mysteries now became clear and transparent under the direct nourishment of the primordial chaos qi. His understanding of the three core essences of Chaos—'Inclusion', 'Evolution', and 'Birth and Death'—soared wildly like a rocket under the enhancement of that 3000% Dao affinity!

41%... 45%... 50%... 55%... 58%... 59%... Finally, when Lin Yuan had absorbed nearly seventy percent of the energy from the chaos origin spring and that hundred-zhang spring eye appeared somewhat dim, Lin Yuan's Chaos Great Dao comprehension level forcefully broke through a massive Bottleneck!

[Chaos Great Dao Comprehension: 60%!]

Boom!

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes! In his left eye, the scene of the birth of galaxies and the brilliant evolution of life suddenly changed, turning into the magnificent sight of the creation of the world and the initial division of Chaos! In his right eye, the ultimate silence of the extinction of stars and the return of all things to ruins turned into the Origin point where Chaos re-condensed and nurtured new life! The speck of Chaos Heart Light at the core was brilliant to the extreme, as if it had already glimpsed the deeper mysteries of the Chaos Great Dao, and an aura that stood above the Myriad Daos faintly radiated out.

60% Chaos Great Dao mastery! This was already a height that many Myriad Dao Realm Peak experts found difficult to reach! It meant that Lin Yuan's understanding and application of Chaos had truly stepped across the threshold of a 'Controller.' With every gesture, he could trigger the great power of Chaos, evolving myriad laws or returning the heavens to ruins!

Feeling the soaring power within his body—the 20-billion-feather bonus from the Great Accomplishment Chaos Body, the 6-billion-feather bonus from 60% Chaos Great Dao, the 51.3-billion-feather combat power bonus from the chaos wings, and the combat power bonus from the Soul Great Dao's improvement to 60%—Lin Yuan's total combat power reached 96.15 billion feathers! It was already approaching the 100-billion-feather mark! This was a terrifying power sufficient to make even Hunyuan Realm experts feel dread!

Lin Yuan's gaze did not linger too long on the skyrocketing power. His eyes, which could pierce through Chaos, stared intently at the spring eye Origin beneath his feet, which, although much dimmer, was still tenaciously and slowly breathing out new primordial chaos qi!

A more crazed, more domineering thought rose uncontrollably in his heart.

"This chaos origin spring is an Origin node born from the grace of the Heavenly Dao at the beginning of the New Divine Domain, containing a trace of the Chaos Mother Sea's mark... Rather than leaving it here to become a target for others' covetousness or slowly absorbing its escaping energy..."

Chaos Heart Light burst from Lin Yuan's eyes, carrying a decisiveness that dominated heaven and earth.

"Better to... completely refine it! Incorporate it... into my body!"

The moment the words fell, Lin Yuan moved!

He was no longer satisfied with passive absorption. Instead, his hands suddenly formed an extremely complex Chaos hand seal! The seventh-tier chaos wings on his back erupted with unprecedented light, and the power of the [Chaos Domain] was pushed to its limit. It was no longer just for defense and purification but had turned into the most domineering refining furnace, completely enveloping, sealing, and compressing the core area of the entire chaos origin spring inward!

"Chaos Return to Ruins: Origin Smelting! For me—Collect!"

Rumble!

The entire space shook violently! That hundred-zhang Chaos spring eye seemed to feel a fatal threat and instinctively resisted fiercely! Even more violent Chaos energy gushed out, attempting to crash through the constraints of Lin Yuan's Domain. Deep within the spring eye, a trace of purple energy—extremely weak yet incredibly pure, as if containing the will of the Chaos Mother Sea—was also flickering, resisting the fate of being refined.

"Hmph! A mere ownerless Origin dares to resist?!" Lin Yuan let out a cold snort. The power of his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body erupted without reservation, and the great power of the 60% Chaos Great Dao was added to the Domain! He was like an incarnate giant of creation, forcibly suppressing the riot of the spring eye with supreme will.

The Domain was like a giant Chaos millstone, beginning to rotate and crush crazily! The energy gushing from the spring eye was forcibly pulled back, crushed, and refined! The almost materialized Chaos Great Dao runes that formed the spring eye Origin began to disintegrate and peel away bit by bit under the wear of the Domain's great power!

This process was a hundred times more dangerous and difficult than simple energy absorption! This was a contest of strength against an Origin node born from heaven and earth! Fine beads of sweat seeped from Lin Yuan's forehead, and the dark gold runes all over his body flickered uncertainly as he endured the massive backlash. If he hadn't just broken through to the Great Accomplishment Chaos Body with an incomparably solid Foundation and had the 60% Chaos Great Dao mastery as his core support, he would likely have been severely injured by the backlash by now.

Time passed in the intense confrontation. With every rotation of the Domain millstone, the spring eye's Origin dimmed by another degree, and its resistance weakened a bit. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's aura was laboriously and bit by bit forcibly incorporating the disintegrating Origin marks into the core of his Chaos Body!

"Roar!" Lin Yuan let out a low growl, like the roar of a Chaos god or demon. He gritted his teeth, and the chaos green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness shone brightly. The projection power of the lotus platform Universe was added to his body, violently dragging the final and most core trace of the spring eye Origin mark toward his Dantian Qi Sea!

"Merge—!!!"

Buzz!!!

A resonating sound, as if the Daos were harmonizing, erupted from within Lin Yuan! That struggling Chaos spring eye suddenly froze, and all resistance vanished instantly. Its physical form completely disintegrated, turning into countless dark golden streaks of light flowing with primordial Chaos runes. Like ten thousand birds returning to their nest, they scrambled to enter Lin Yuan's body!

At the moment the spring eye was completely refined and absorbed, earth-shaking changes occurred within Lin Yuan's body! In Lin Yuan's abdomen, a miniature, slowly rotating dark golden spring eye appeared out of thin air! Although this miniature spring eye was far smaller in scale than the one outside, it radiated the same Chaos Origin aura. Under the nourishment of Lin Yuan's Great Accomplishment Chaos Body and 60% Chaos Great Dao, it was continuously and autonomously breathing in external Chaos energy, converting it into pure primordial chaos qi!

This miniature chaos origin spring refined into his body became a part of Lin Yuan! From then on, he no longer needed to search deliberately; he could absorb and refine Chaos energy at all times, tempering his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body, nourishing his Divine Soul, and comprehending the Chaos Great Dao! Its efficiency far surpassed the passive absorption of wandering energy from heaven and earth! This was equivalent to installing an unceasing, exclusive Chaos energy converter within his body!
