290: Severely damages the consciousness projection of the Lord of the Dark Abyss

"Ugh—!!!" The Supreme figure atop the wordless stele let out a sigh of liberation. His entire body instantly transformed into the purest Chaos energy, exploding like a brilliant firework and merging into the Chaos Mother Sea below. The filthy broken sword that had pierced his chest for eons lost its anchor, letting out a shrill wail as it turned into a streak of twisted black light, like a homing venomous snake, instantly burrowing into the body of the Lord of Guixu.

"Roar—!!!"

A roar that tore through the Chaos suddenly exploded! The Lord of Guixu's massive body convulsed violently, and his nine eyes burning with dark purple flames burst simultaneously. Filthy purple-black blood splattered like a fountain, staining the surrounding primordial chaos qi with the color of deathly silence!

The eye of guixu that had just opened at the center of his forehead was like shattered glass, instantly covered in cobweb-like cracks—at this moment, it had been completely devoured by the Heavenly Dao will of the Dark Abyss. It bred a rage and hatred capable of incinerating the heavens toward Lin Yuan, the "ant" who had severed its connection with the primordial dao embryo's Origin!

"Lowly reptile! You dare... to severely wound my Origin!!!" The voice of the possessed Lord of Guixu was wrapped in a malice capable of freezing time. For the first time, he tore away his disguise and announced his true name. "My name is 'Ji'! Lord of Dark Abyss, the End of Ten Thousand Realms! You destroyed my Foundation... I will surely crush your Divine Soul and cast you into the Dark Abyss Purgatory to suffer the pain of eternal Guixu for ten thousand lifetimes!!!"

The announcement of the true name seemed to trigger some ancient contract. The entire Chaos Mother Sea shook violently! The severed section of the pitch-black chain did not dissipate; instead, it transformed into a Nine-Headed Magic Dragon composed of pure resentment and filthy Guixu power. Carrying a mad will to destroy everything, it lunged fiercely at Lin Yuan, who had just swung his strongest sword and was currently in a state of exhaustion!

This strike contained the sky-high hatred and backlash Karma of "Ji" having his Origin severed, its power far exceeding any previous attack! Lin Yuan had just undergone the Tribulation of Severing the Dao, his sword of creation was mostly shattered, and his internal Universe was in upheaval—he was at his weakest moment!

Just as the Nine-Headed Magic Dragon was about to swallow Lin Yuan, a faint silver light suddenly lit up from the depths of the Mother Sea below! That light came from a floating Cocoon of Time—which was what Xuanyuan Wuji had transformed into under the protection of the monument's power! The Cocoon of Time burst open, and a figure condensed from pure time power rushed out; it was the remnant will of Xuanyuan Wuji!

"Lin Yuan! Catch!" Xuanyuan Wuji's will let out a final shout, fiercely throwing the intact time-light compass in his hand toward Lin Yuan! The compass spun rapidly in the air, its needle jumping frantically, emitting time fluctuations that transcended limits!

"In the name of Chronos—Eternal Instant!"

The moment the compass flew in front of Lin Yuan, it disintegrated with a bang, turning into a miniature, absolutely static time Domain that enveloped Lin Yuan and the hundred-zhang space around him! The lunging Nine-Headed Magic Dragon slammed into the time barrier like it was caught in solidified amber, its violent impact forcibly delayed for a ten-thousandth of an instant!

It was that ten-thousandth of an instant!

Chaos Heart Light exploded from Lin Yuan's eyes! He lunged forward and grabbed the wreckage of the sword of creation floating before him—only the hilt and a small section of the blade remained. Without hesitation, he poured in the sliver of Origin his internal Universe had just recovered, along with his own essence blood and the portion of pure Guixu authority he had gained after severing the shackles!

"Grandmist as the spine, Chaos as the edge, Guixu as the blade!"

"Ji! This sword—I return it to you!"

A sword light of indescribable color erupted from the broken sword! It was no longer pure creation power, but an ultimate strike that fused the three Supreme powers of Chaos, Creation, and Guixu! The sword light swept through the solidified time Domain, slicing the Nine-Headed Magic Dragon in half like a hot knife through butter. Its momentum undiminished, it slashed fiercely toward the withered and terrified Lord of Guixu, "Ji"!

"No—!!!"

Amidst "Ji's" desperate roar, that sword light, fused with triple Supreme powers, accurately pierced into the cracked eye of guixu on its forehead!

Pfft!

Filthy purple-black blood gushed out like a fountain! The eye of guixu—its power core and symbol—was completely pierced and annihilated!

"Roar... Ow..."

The Lord of Guixu's colossal body convulsed and spasmed violently, letting out meaningless wails. The dark purple crystals forming its body disintegrated inch by inch, and the terrifying filthy aura dissipated frantically like air from a punctured balloon. Its nine shattered eyes completely lost their luster, and the massive body began to collapse inward, turning into a twisting, shrinking mass of dark purple energy turbulence.

It did not die immediately. The vitality of a Saint-Grade existence was terrifyingly resilient, especially with the will of "Ji" possessing it. However, this sword strike through the core had completely devastated its Saint-body's Origin, knocking it down from the Saint Realm, with less than ten percent of its power remaining!

"Lin Yuan! When my true body descends, it will be the day your Primal Plane is destroyed! This Hongmeng Divine Domain will eventually fall into my hands!"

Venomous eyes like poisoned icicles were fixed dead on Lin Yuan. The severely wounded Dark Abyss will, carrying the remnant body of the Lord of Guixu, turned into a black line that tore through the Void Realm, frantically darting into the crack that spanned the Divine Domain.

The dark purple halo at the edge of the crack quickly dimmed. The spatial barrier, losing its supporting will, was like a dying fish, slowly shrinking and annihilating in the sky until it completely vanished, leaving only polluted Chaos currents swirling in place.

Lin Yuan was exhausted, kneeling on the starlight platform. The wreckage of the sword of creation in his hand turned into specks of nine-colored light particles and merged into his Lord Token. He looked at the twisting, struggling dark purple turbulence with cold eyes.

Xuanyuan Wuji's remnant will had completely dissipated after throwing the compass, leaving only a wisp of Innate Qi to sink into the depths of the Mother Sea.

On the wordless stele, the massive crack began to slowly heal, and the remaining filth was purified by the power of the Mother Sea. From deep within the crack, a faint speck of starlight slowly floated out and landed in Lin Yuan's hand.

It was a key condensed from the embers of the primordial dao embryo projection, marked with a coordinate at the core of the 903 Divine Domain, with some ancient seal characters engraved beside it:

【Ten-Star Creation Secret Realm: Hongmeng Origin World (Gestating)】

A Ten-Star Creation Secret Realm—this was the true Rank of the Hongmeng Origin World, which was currently gestating inside the Hongmeng Divine Domain! Once it finished gestating, this key would be the one to open it!

"Cough, cough..." Lin Yuan coughed up golden blood containing fragments of internal organs. The backlash from severing the Dao and Karma, along with the price of forcibly channeling the triple powers, began to manifest. But his gaze remained as sharp as ever.

The Hongmeng Divine Domain embryo below emitted brilliant nine-colored radiance, while the Dark Abyss embryo had completely dimmed, turning into a dead meteorite exiled to the edges by the power of the Mother Sea.

Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the Heavenly Dao rules of the 903 Divine Domain were being reshaped—the "cancer" of Dark Abyss pollution was completely removed, the Origin light of the primordial dao embryo pierced through the Divine Domain, and that ominous dark purple embryo did not simply annihilate.

Under the forced refinement of the Divine Domain's rules, it disintegrated into hundreds of millions of filthy light streams, scattering into the mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, deserts, and deep caves of the Divine Domain, eventually transforming into countless hideous and violently auraed powerful exotic beasts.

They were precisely deployed into various trial areas, serving both as a trial for the Primal Plane's Lords and as a rehearsal for the future Dark Abyss catastrophe—only by constantly tempering themselves in battle against these exotic beasts carrying the Dark Abyss Origin could they possess the power to contend with it when the true world-ending war arrived.
