344: Chaos Dao System Enhancement

Lin Yuan's figure was suspended in mid-air, the chaos heavenly extreme sword pointed diagonally downward, with drops of pale gold blood that did not belong to him dripping from the tip—those were the final remains of the Gengjin Sword Lord.

His entire body was shrouded in a faint layer of Chaos mist, which completely devoured and assimilated the residual violent Gengjin Sword Qi in the air, returning everything to tranquility.

His gaze did not linger on the devastated battlefield but focused on his palm. There, a fragment floating about the size of a fingernail emitted the purest "Gengjin Sharpness True Meaning"!

The fragment was pale gold, with fine Law patterns flowing along its edges, like a Great Dao crystal forcibly stripped away, containing the essence of the fallen Sword Lord's lifelong comprehension of the Gengjin Great Dao.

This was what was obtained from killing a Dao Lord—a Great Dao fragment!

"Gengjin Great Dao... the sharpness of gold, indestructible... this is one of the foundational Laws that constitute the solidity of matter and the condensation of energy, and it is also an important branch of the 'Hard' aspect of Chaos evolution..." Lin Yuan's Divine Thought sank into the fragment, sensing the pure Law information within.

This was of direct benefit to his understanding of the underlying logic of material composition and the refinement of the "Jin Phase" branch within the Chaos system.

With a thought, the primordial azure lotus dao embryo in his Sea of Consciousness swayed slightly. The lotus pedestal, rooted at the guixu origin point, emitted a Chaos aura that embraced all things, acting like an invisible vortex and generating a powerful suction.

Buzz!

The Gengjin fragment in his palm seemed to receive a call from the Origin, turning into a streak of pale gold light that instantly vanished into Lin Yuan's forehead, reaching his Sea of Consciousness!

As soon as the fragment entered the Sea of Consciousness, it was enveloped by the Chaos clear light emitted by the primordial azure lotus dao embryo. That incomparably sharp Gengjin Sharpness True Meaning, which sought to tear everything apart, instantly became "gentle" like snow meeting a blazing sun the moment it touched the Chaos aura.

The power of Chaos did not crudely obliterate it but acted like the most precise carving knife, beginning to analyze, strip, and absorb the pure Law information contained within, dismantling and transforming it into the "Jin Phase" Profound Truth that his own Chaos system could understand and accommodate.

[Absorbed "Gengjin Great Dao" fragment (Basic Perfection level)!]

[Chaos Great Dao system "Jin Phase" branch comprehension increased: 0% → 15%!]

[Parsing basic Laws: Material solidity +, energy condensation efficiency +, deepened understanding of sharpness attack characteristics!]

[Chaos Great Dao grand power slightly condensed!]

A brand new insight regarding "Gold" flooded into Lin Yuan's heart. Although he was far from reaching the level of controlling the Gengjin Great Dao, his essential understanding of the "solid" and "sharp" attributes in material composition instantly became much clearer and deeper.

Within the sealed primordial chaos universe prototype in his body, the regions representing "metallic stars" and "sharpness Laws" also seemed to brighten slightly.

"However, upon careful comparison, the effect of this active refinement and upgrade is likely more than a hundred times higher than the boost the Gengjin Sword Lord previously received from passive rules!" A sharp light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Having personally verified the method of killing Dao Lords to obtain fragments and upgrade his system, this undoubtedly pointed out a shortcut for him on the bloody path of the myriad Daos' competition!

The Chaos Great Dao encompasses everything; theoretically, it can absorb and integrate any Great Dao fragment for its own use. This basic-level Gengjin fragment was just an insignificant appetizer, yet it had already given him a taste of the benefits.

"Thank you, Star Lord, for saving our lives! Everyone in the Liufeng Star Bastion will eternally remember your great virtue!" Below, Feng Wuhen endured his injuries and led the surviving Flowing Wind Sword Sect Disciples and soldiers to bow deeply toward Lin Yuan in the sky, his voice filled with gratitude and submission.

Had Lin Yuan not arrived in time, this top Feather Transformation Realm Prodigy of the Flowing Wind Sword Sect would have likely already fallen. He was originally the standout talent whom the Sect had high hopes for; before entering the domain, the Sect had gone all out to support him with countless resources.

Once he died, all the previous blood and effort he and the Sect had invested would have turned into bubbles and vanished into nothingness.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the area below, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority: "This node is tied to the star continent map. Today's calamity was also due to your insufficient strength. I give you two paths: first, abandon the node and merge the Flowing Wind Sword Sect into another part of the Star Alliance to develop under protection; second, hold this place, and I will dispatch a squad of Star Scar Guards to station here and allocate resources to help you accelerate the construction of the Star Bastion. What is your choice?"

Feng Wuhen hardly hesitated and gritted his teeth, saying, "Star Lord! My Flowing Wind Sword Sect is willing to choose the second path! We swear to defend this node to the death and remain loyal to the great cause of the Star Continent! I implore the Star Lord to grant this!"

"Good." Lin Yuan nodded and communicated with the Chaos Origin City through his Divine Thought. Soon, a small myriad worlds star gate opened above the battlefield, and a squad of fifty Chaos Star Scar Guards with murderous auras and clad in star scar armor stepped out, led by a Hunyuan Realm Centurion, quickly taking over the defense of the Liufeng Star Bastion. At the same time, a batch of construction resources and merit points were also transmitted through the star gate.

After handling the affairs of the Flowing Wind Sword Sect, Lin Yuan was preparing to return to Origin City to digest what he had gained from the Gengjin fragment and plan his next hunting target. Suddenly, the last trace of Chaos Divine Thought he had left at the place where the Gengjin Sword Lord fell captured a very faint spatial fluctuation residue that was completely different from the Gengjin Qi!

This fluctuation was extremely subtle; if not for his Soul Great Dao comprehension reaching 100% and his perception being extremely keen, it would have been almost impossible to detect. It did not come from the Gengjin Sword Lord himself, but seemed more like an item he carried, whose aura leaked out at the moment of his death and the collapse of his storage space.

Lin Yuan's figure flickered, appearing at the spot where the Gengjin Sword Lord had finally dissipated. His Chaos Divine Thought, like the most precise probe, reached deep into the spatial layers to search carefully. A moment later, his gaze narrowed, and with Chaos Guixu Power wrapping around his fingertip, he lightly sliced at a certain spot in the void!

Chii!

A tiny spatial rift was forcibly torn open. Deep within the rift was not a violent turbulence, but an unstable dimensional bubble that was about to be completely annihilated. Inside the bubble, half of a tattered, dark yellow ancient map made of a material that was neither metal nor jade floated quietly!

The material of the ancient map was peculiar, feeling warm to the touch yet carrying a heavy sense of history. The edges of the remnant map were irregularly torn, and it depicted twisted rivers, broken mountain ranges, and some difficult-to-recognize ancient runes.

Most strikingly, at the center of the remnant map, there was a blurry vortex marker composed of countless tiny light points, and next to it, half of an ancient Seal character—the word "Source"—seemed to remain.

The moment Lin Yuan's Divine Thought touched the remnant map, a vast and complex singular Dao rhyme, seemingly containing the Origin of all Daos in the world, erupted from the map like a sleeping giant dragon being startled awake!

This Dao rhyme was so majestic and exquisite that it far surpassed any Secret Realm or Legacy Lin Yuan had encountered before! It was not a single Great Dao, but seemed to be a "Source of Myriad Daos" formed by the intertwining, clashing, and merging of Law fragments from countless foundational, top-tier, and even supreme Daos!

Buzz!

The primordial azure lotus dao embryo in Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness seemed to receive a strong stimulus and swayed violently! The star shadows held upon the lotus leaves flickered uncertainly, and the Primordial Purple Qi nurturing within the stamens accelerated its flow. A strong desire and throb were transmitted from deep within the dao embryo!

Sensing the primal divine seal on the back of his hand carefully, Lin Yuan understood in his heart—this Secret Realm was not the Three-Star Creation Secret Realm bestowed by the divine Seal. Therefore, if he wanted to enter this Secret Realm, he must possess the corresponding token!
