271: Origin Refining

A single stray wisp of energy turbulence from the edge of the vortex was enough to easily tear apart the previous Great Dao Dragon! That terrifying tearing force, crushing pressure, and the impact of the chaotic will formed by the mixing of myriad Daos were enough to make even Peak Hunyuan Realm experts turn pale!

Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the storm, his robes flapping loudly. The dark gold light of his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body was suppressed until it could only cover his skin by three inches. He felt an unprecedented pressure, but he also felt the extreme desire and excitement of the Chaos Origin within his body!

"This is the place! Only here can I glimpse the threshold of 'Chaos Returning to One'!" The Chaos Heart Light in Lin Yuan's eyes was more brilliant than ever. He took a deep breath, and the three pairs of seventh-tier chaos wings on his back suddenly unfurled to their limit, like two heaven-covering divine shields. The diagrams on them, illustrating the life and death of the Universe, shone with great light!

"Chaos Domain, open!"

Buzz—!

The condensed Dark Gold Domain expanded once more, struggling to resist the terrifying tearing force at the edge of the core vortex. The Domain and the vortex storm collided violently, producing heart-stopping sounds of annihilation. Braving the peerless pressure, Lin Yuan stepped firmly, one step at a time, into that ultimate storm where destruction and Rebirth were intertwined!

The violent Great Dao turbulence instantly struck his Chaos Domain, causing it to twist violently and flicker uncertainly! Destructive energy formed by countless Great Dao Origin imprints, like billions of Chaos Divine Hammers, frantically hammered his Domain's barriers and his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body! The Dark Gold Runes beneath his skin flickered wildly, enduring unimaginable pressure and letting out groans of being overburdened!

Even more terrifying was the impact on the Soul level! Billions of fragments of chaotic, violent, and contradictory wills of destruction and Rebirth pierced into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness like steel needles! The Eternal Soul Wall, constructed with 60% Soul Great Dao mastery, shook violently, and even the Eternal Clear Radiance emitted by the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart was suppressed until it became precarious!

"Ugh..." Lin Yuan let out a muffled groan, a trace of dark gold blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. The power of this core vortex far exceeded his estimates!

But the light in his eyes grew even more radiant! Pressure! This was exactly the pressure he needed! Only at the true edge of life and death, under the extreme washing of the Myriad Dao Origins, could his potential be fully stimulated, pushing his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body and Chaos Great Dao toward even higher Peaks!

"Refine for me—!"

Lin Yuan let out a heaven-shaking roar in his heart! The Chaos Fearless Dao Heart shone with ten thousand zhang of light, forcibly suppressing the churning in his Sea of Consciousness! His Great Accomplishment Chaos Body was like a kindled Chaos Divine Furnace, its Dark Gold Runes burning and operating frantically! The Devouring Evolution skill was pushed to an unprecedented extreme! The vortices at the edges of his wings were no longer just for devouring; they transformed into miniature chaos millstones, proactively meeting the incoming Great Dao turbulence!

The millstones rotated, carrying the dual true meanings of Guixu and Creation! The violent Great Dao turbulence was forcibly dragged into the millstones, and that power, enough to shred stars, was frantically ground and decomposed by the chaos millstones! The Great Dao fragments forming the attacks were stripped away, and the chaotic wills were crushed, finally being reduced to the purest and most primal Great Dao Particles!

These Origin particles, "purified" by the chaos millstones, were no longer aggressive. Instead, they carried a pure Dao charm of returning to simplicity, surging into Lin Yuan's body like sweet rain!

Boom!

Lin Yuan's body shook violently! It was like sweet rain after a long drought! The slight damage caused by the previous impacts was instantly repaired! The galaxy within his bones erupted with brilliant starlight, and the Chaos nebulae in his internal organs expanded and solidified rapidly! In his Sea of Consciousness, the chaos green lotus bathed in the torrent of Origin particles, its lotus leaves stretching out, and the evolution of the miniature universe atop the lotus pedestal suddenly accelerated! On the land, the prototypes of rising mountain ranges and surging rivers became clearly visible! In the starry sky, the trajectories of the stars' movements became more aligned with the principles of the Great Dao!

More importantly was his comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao! In the environment of the core vortex, where the Myriad Dao Origins ultimately collided, annihilated, and were reborn, and through the process of his own chaos millstones forcibly decomposing, purifying, and absorbing the Myriad Dao Origins, his understanding of the three core true meanings of "Chaos Inclusion," "Chaos Evolution," and "Chaos Life and Death" deepened and sublimated at an unprecedented speed!

Those once obscure and difficult-to-understand Chaos Mysteries now became incomparably clear! How does Chaos evolve into Yin and Yang? How does it produce and destroy the Five Elements? How does it carry time and space? How does it govern life and death?... Countless enlightenments regarding the essence of Chaos poured into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness like a divine revelation!

[Chaos Great Dao Mastery: 62%... 63%... 64%... 65%!]

[Soul Great Dao Mastery: 61%... 62%!]

[Great Dao of Devouring Mastery: 26%... 27%!]

[Great Dao of Life and Death Mastery: 36%... 37%!]

[The Chaos Body (Early Stage Major Achievement) Foundation continues to stabilize, moving toward Middle Stage Major Achievement!]

Lin Yuan's aura climbed steadily in the center of the storm! His body was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the purified Myriad Dao Origin particles! Instead of collapsing under the pressure, his Chaos Domain became even more condensed and heavy, with a hint of the primal purple intent of Chaos that encompasses all things faintly showing through the dark gold color! In the area where the Domain's edge collided and annihilated with the vortex storm, scenes of weak, autonomously evolving small Daos even began to appear—this was a sign that the Domain was beginning to possess a hint of the prototype of "Creation"!

In a domineering and peerless manner, he was turning the core vortex of the Myriad Dao Origin Pool into the ultimate furnace for breaking through his limits and validating his Dao!

However, just as Lin Yuan was immersed in this frantic improvement, a sudden change occurred!

The giant vortex rotating slowly at the core of the Myriad Dao Origin Pool seemed completely enraged by Lin Yuan's behavior of fleecing it to its very roots! The vortex's rotation speed suddenly increased tenfold! A majestic suction, a hundred times more terrifying than before and seemingly containing the nascent power of the entire New Divine Domain, suddenly erupted!

At the same time, the originally deep and dark area at the center of the vortex suddenly lit up! Billions of Great Dao Divine Chains, condensed to the extreme and displaying the color of Chaos Returning to the Void, were like awakened Primordial Vicious Beasts. Carrying the ultimate Dao charm of annihilating all things, they ignored spatial distance, instantly pierced through Lin Yuan's Chaos Domain, and stabbed fiercely toward his body and Divine Soul!

The power of this strike had already surpassed the scope of the Hunyuan Realm, truly touching the edge of "Sainthood"! This was the angry counterattack of the Myriad Dao Origin Pool's core Origin!

A fatal sense of crisis, like ice water being poured over his head, instantly woke Lin Yuan from his deep cultivation! His pupils shrank suddenly, and the hair all over his body stood on end! This strike was too fast! Too strong! It completely exceeded the limit he could withstand at this moment! Even with the Great Accomplishment Chaos Body, if he were struck by these Great Dao Divine Chains containing the core Origin of the Origin Pool, he would surely be heavily injured, and his dao foundation might even collapse!

A matter of life and death!

The miniature chaos origin spring within Lin Yuan's body rotated frantically, the light of the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart erupted, and the mighty power of 65% Chaos Great Dao was pushed to the extreme! On the seventh-tier chaos wings behind him, all defensive runes were instantly lit up! The Absolute Defense skill was about to be triggered instinctively!
