118: Above the Ancient Gods, the One and Only Chaos (Grand Finale)

Spatial Maze Nest, the number one Forbidden Ground in the Western Region.

When Lu Qingxuan arrived holding the bronze immortal palace and the reincarnation mirror, the entire nest had already begun to collapse.

It was not a natural collapse, but a collapse caused by being forcibly shattered.

At the entrance of the nest, hundreds of corpses lay scattered in a mess; there were adjudicators from the Star Alliance Council, powerhouses from the myriad heavens ancient clans, and even several ancient beast carcasses with auras comparable to the Peak of True Immortal.

Fresh blood stained the twisted spatial rifts, and the air was filled with a thick bloody stench and... the aura of the world-breaking cone.

The moment Lu Qingxuan stepped into the nest, he understood what had happened.

"The Three Great Ancient Gods... have taken action personally."

His gaze swept over the remnants of the battlefield—the corpses drained by the Law of Devouring, the spatial rifts twisted by the power of fate, and the fragments of Law eroded by the aura of decay. Each trace pointed to an Ancient God.

Heavenly Fate Child, Taotie, and Decay Extinction, these three traitorous Ancient Gods who had stirred up catastrophe in the ancient times, could no longer sit still after sensing the resonance of the three artifacts.

They spared no cost in consuming their Origin, Awakening parts of their true bodies in advance, and forcibly blasted through the Spatial Maze Nest, wanting to seize the world-breaking cone before Lu Qingxuan.

But they failed.

Lu Qingxuan looked toward the deepest part of the nest, where the aftermath of the battle was still reverberating.

"You came just in time." Cold light flickered in his eyes, "It saves me the trouble of going to the Void Abyss to find you."

He stepped out, his figure turning into a streak of Chaos light, ignoring the intricate spatial traps in the nest and charging straight for the core!

Wherever he passed, those spatial labyrinths capable of trapping and killing True Immortals shattered like paper before the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed.

Lu Qingxuan didn't even make a move; the Chaos aura radiating from his body was enough to assimilate and devour all spatial Laws.

Three breaths later, he arrived at the deepest part of the nest.

This place had already turned into a doomsday battlefield.

The space with a diameter of ten thousand miles was completely shattered, revealing the pitch-black void beneath.

Within the void, the true bodies of the three Ancient Gods, ten thousand feet tall, were besieging... a cone.

The cone was three feet long, pitch-black all over, with no decorative patterns on its surface, yet it emitted a terrifying aura that could pierce the myriad heavens and tear apart the myriad worlds.

It was precisely the last of the three god-slaying artifacts—the world-breaking cone!

At this moment, the world-breaking cone was floating autonomously in the void, its tip constantly stabbing out; every strike could tear open a rift leading to an unknown dimension in the void.

The sealing array set up by the three Ancient Gods—Heavenly Fate Child, Taotie, and Decay Extinction—had already been riddled with holes.

But the three Ancient Gods had lived for countless epochs, after all, and their methods were endless.

Heavenly Fate Child formed Seals with his hands, and billions of threads of fate covered the world-breaking cone like a net, attempting to tamper with its "fate of recognizing a master."

Taotie opened his giant mouth, and a terrifying devouring force formed a black hole, intending to swallow the world-breaking cone along with this space into his belly to refine it.

Decay Extinction released grayish-white decaying mist; wherever the mist passed, even the void decayed and disintegrated. This was to completely corrode the spirituality of the world-breaking cone.

The combined attack of the three gods was earth-shaking.

Although the world-breaking cone was powerful, it was in an unowned state; while its spirituality was strong, it lacked wisdom, and under the tacit siege of the three gods, it gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The light on the cone began to dim, and the rifts it stabbed out became smaller and smaller.

"Now is the time!"

A sharp light flashed in Heavenly Fate Child's eyes, and a brand of fate shot toward the core of the world-breaking cone, attempting to force it to recognize him as master!

But just as the brand was about to touch the body of the cone—

"Hum!"

The bronze immortal palace and the reincarnation mirror flew out simultaneously, resonating with the world-breaking cone!

The three god-slaying artifacts, after countless eons, were finally reunited!

The bronze immortal palace shed bronze light that suppressed the myriad heavens, the reincarnation mirror reflected light that reversed Karma, and the world-breaking cone erupted with cone light that tore through everything!

The three-colored light intertwined, instantly shattering the threads of fate, the devouring black hole, and the decaying mist!

"What?!" The expressions of the three Ancient Gods changed in unison.

They turned their heads abruptly, looking toward the direction of the light source.

There, Lu Qingxuan walked through the void, his green robes fluttering, black hair flying.

With every step he took, Chaos Dao patterns automatically derived beneath his feet, as if the entire void was welcoming his arrival.

"It's you..." Killing intent and... wariness flashed in Heavenly Fate Child's eyes.

In just one year, this kid who was merely an ant in his eyes had actually grown to the point where he could make the three of them feel threatened!

"It seems you still remember me." Lu Qingxuan stopped a thousand feet in front of the three Ancient Gods and spoke calmly, "That's good, it saves me from introducing myself."

He reached out his hand, and the world-breaking cone automatically flew into his palm.

The three artifacts were gathered, and their resonance reached its Peak!

[Obtained: world-breaking cone (Chaos · Supreme)]

[The three god-slaying artifacts have been collected]

[Triggered hidden task: Reunite the power of god-slaying]

[Task requirement: Use the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed as a foundation to fuse the Origins of the three artifacts and forge the ultimate god-slaying weapon]

[Task reward: Breakthrough to the Ancient God Realm, unlock final System authority]

The System light screen unfolded before his eyes; this time, the prompt carried unprecedented solemnity.

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath and looked at the three Ancient Gods: "I'll give you two choices."

"One, cripple your cultivation and be imprisoned in the Guixu forever; I can keep your true spirits intact."

"Two, I will send you on your way myself."

Silence.

Three breaths later, the three Ancient Gods erupted in earth-shaking wild laughter simultaneously!

"Arrogant!" Taotie Ancient God roared, "You think that just because you gathered the three god-slaying artifacts, you can contend with us? Ridiculous! When we were rampaging through the myriad heavens, your ancestors weren't even born yet!"

"Today, let you witness... what the true power of an Ancient God is!"

Heavenly Fate Child struck first.

He gripped the air with both hands, as if grabbing the entire river of fate, and pulled fiercely toward Lu Qingxuan!

"Fate Secret Technique · Karma Severing Extinction!"

This move did not attack the Physical Body, nor did it attack the Divine Soul; it directly attacked "Karma existence" itself!

Once hit, all of Lu Qingxuan's karmic connections with this world would be severed; he would become a "void" that had never existed, disappearing from the memories of all living beings and being erased from all historical records!

But Lu Qingxuan merely raised the reincarnation mirror.

The mirror surface turned, reflecting the karmic line of Heavenly Fate Child's technique.

"Using the mirror as a guide, Karma... rebound."

"Boom!"

Heavenly Fate Child spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood; the Karma Severing Extinction he slashed toward Lu Qingxuan was forcibly rebounded by the reincarnation mirror, acting on himself instead!

Although it was not enough to completely erase his existence, it caused his Divine Soul to vibrate violently, and his aura plummeted by thirty percent!

"How is this possible?! You can actually control the reincarnation mirror to this extent?!" Heavenly Fate Child was horrified.

Lu Qingxuan did not answer; he looked at Taotie Ancient God.

Taotie had already opened his giant mouth, turning into a devouring black hole with a diameter of ten thousand feet, intending to swallow Lu Qingxuan along with the three Divine Artifacts!

"Swallowing Heaven and Earth · All Things Return to Void!"

A terrifying suction force came from the black hole, even tearing the void apart and sucking it in.

Lu Qingxuan remained calm; he held up the bronze immortal palace.

"Suppress."

With one word uttered, the immortal palace suddenly expanded, turning into a bronze divine mountain that suppressed the myriad heavens, and smashed fiercely toward the devouring black hole!

"Boom—!!!"

The black hole was smashed and collapsed! Taotie Ancient God screamed, his huge body flew backward, a deep depression appeared on his chest reaching the bones, and divine blood sprayed like a waterfall!

Finally, it was Decay Extinction Ancient God.

He did not attack rashly but released billions of decaying mists; these mists turned into countless grayish-white tentacles, wrapping around Lu Qingxuan from all directions, intending to decay him and this space into ash.

Lu Qingxuan finally got serious.

He held the world-breaking cone in his right hand, held the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed in his left, and the bronze immortal palace and reincarnation mirror floated behind him.

"Three artifacts in one... Chaos Return to Void... Ultimate form..."

"Open!"

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribably terrifying aura erupted from Lu Qingxuan's body!

That aura surpassed the True Immortal, surpassed the Ancient God, and even surpassed the carrying limit of this world!

The entire void began to collapse, the Laws of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield began to disorder, and even the Guixu Sea Eye in the distant time and space stirred up monstrous waves!

The expressions of the three Ancient Gods changed drastically.

"This kind of aura... Impossible! Have you already..."

"Breakthrough." Lu Qingxuan closed his eyes, letting the three god-slaying artifacts and the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed fuse.

The bronze immortal palace turned into bones, the reincarnation mirror turned into a heart, and the world-breaking cone turned into a spine.

With the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed as the core, the three began to reshape Lu Qingxuan's body!

His Realm began to break through crazily!

The barrier of the Peak of True Immortal shattered like paper, and he stepped over the threshold of the Ancient God in one step!

Early Stage Ancient God... Middle Stage Ancient God... Late Stage Ancient God... Peak Ancient God!

Finally, it stopped at the Great Perfection of the Ancient God!

But it wasn't over yet.

[System prompt: Host has reached the power limit of this world]

[Detected that the host has gathered all conditions]

[System final authority unlocking...]

[Unlock successful]

[System essence revealed: This System is formed by fragments of the "chaos origin source", which is the supreme Legacy scattered across the myriad heavens after the fall of the "Chaos Dominator" of the previous epoch]

[Final task: Refine the System Origin, ascend to the position of Chaos Dominator again]

[Task reward: Surpass the Ancient God, ascend to the Unique]

Lu Qingxuan opened his eyes, reflecting the scene of the beginning of Chaos.

He finally understood everything.

The so-called myriad things entry system was merely the manifestation of the fragments of the chaos origin source.

The so-called copying, Fusion, granting, deduction, deprivation... were merely basic applications of Chaos Law.

And he was the Reincarnation of the Chaos Dominator.

Or rather, one of the billions of Clones laid out by the Chaos Dominator to return to the Peak.

It was just that in this life, he had walked to the end and gathered all the conditions.

"So... I am Chaos." Lu Qingxuan murmured.

He looked at the three Ancient Gods; at this moment in his eyes, these three existences that once required him to look up to were as small as ants.

"It should end."

Lu Qingxuan raised his hand and gently gripped toward the three Ancient Gods.

"Chaos Return to Void... All things return to the Origin."

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no tragic and heroic battle.

Just a gentle grip.

The ten-thousand-foot-tall bodies of the three Ancient Gods collapsed and dissipated like sand sculptures, turning into the purest power of Origin, which was absorbed by the Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed in Lu Qingxuan's body.

Heavenly Fate Child's unwilling roar, Taotie's crazy struggle, Decay Extinction's desperate curse... all returned to silence.

The three traitorous Ancient Gods who stirred up catastrophe in the ancient times and plotted for ten thousand years to resurrect, thus... completely perished.

[Devoured: Fate Ancient God · Heavenly Fate Child Origin]

[Devoured: Devouring Ancient God · Taotie Origin]

[Devoured: Decaying Ancient God · Decay Extinction Origin]

[Chaos Void Returning Dao Seed perfection rate: 1000% (Exceeded limit)]

[Host Realm breaking through... Breakthrough failed (This world cannot carry a higher-level existence)]

Lu Qingxuan sensed that his strength had reached the limit of this world. To go any further, he had to... leave.

But he had one last thing to do.

"System, no, chaos origin source... fuse."

He let go of all defenses, allowing the System core in his body—that piece of chaos origin source fragment—to completely fuse with his true spirit.

[Fusion started...]

[1%... 10%... 50%... 100%]

[Fusion successful]

[Host has completely refined the chaos origin source]

[Current status: Chaos Dominator (Awakening Period)]

[Power level: Above Ancient God (Unique)]

[Ability: Create all things, return all Laws to void, control Chaos]

The moment the Fusion was completed, Lu Qingxuan felt that he had established a connection with the entire myriad heavens and worlds.

He could create stars with a single thought, and he could also make stars return to the void with a single thought.

He could see all Karma of the past and future, and he could also stir the river of fate at will.

He could even feel that beyond the endless void, there were countless similar worlds, as well as... the owner of the pair of eyes that had been peeping at him.

"Upper Realm observer..." Lu Qingxuan looked somewhere in the void, "Come out, it's time for us to meet."

The void cracked, and a figure in white robes with a blurry face stepped out from it.

"Congratulations on regaining the position of Chaos." The white-robed person's voice was peaceful, "I am the seventh seat of the 'Observer Alliance', you can call me 'Time Watcher'."

"You have been observing me?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

"Observing all seeds that might break through the world's restrictions." Time Watcher nodded, "Every world has its carrying limit, and the Ancient God is the limit of this world. Those who can break through this limit are qualified to join the Alliance and become a member of a broader stage."

He reached out his hand: "On behalf of the Observer Alliance, I formally invite you to join. There are countless existences at the same level as you, or even stronger, with higher-level Laws and a broader world."

Lu Qingxuan was silent for a moment, then asked: "Can my relatives and friends come with me?"

"Yes, but it takes time." Time Watcher said, "The Alliance rules state that new members can bring up to ten dependents. However, the dependents need to reach at least the True Immortal Realm to withstand cross-dimensional teleportation."

"Also..." He looked at Lu Qingxuan, "You still have three years in this world. After three years, the Alliance's envoy will descend to take you away."

"Three years... that's enough." Lu Qingxuan nodded.

He wanted to use these three years to arrange everything.

Grand Void Holy Land must become the number one force in the myriad heavens.

The Tomb-Guarding Remnant Clan must rebuild the glory of the Artisan Ancestor.

Su Linger, Sword Dust, Lu Mingdao, Jin Wanxiang, Mo Yuan... everyone who followed him must get the rewards they deserve.

And there was also Yin, the Ancient God who had guarded the Guixu for countless years; it was time for him to be liberated.

Three years later.

Grand Void Holy Land had already unified the Eastern Region and shocked the myriad heavens.

The Tomb-Guarding Remnant Clan rebuilt the Artisan Ancestor Legacy in the Bronze Giant City, and three True Immortals and seven half-step True Immortals emerged from the clan.

Su Linger was enlightened by Lu Qingxuan, her Reincarnation Immortal Body reached Major Achievement, and she stepped into the True Immortal Realm.

Sword Dust, Lu Mingdao, Jin Wanxiang, Mo Yuan, and others also broke through to True Immortal one after another.

In the Guixu Sea Eye, Yin finally refined all the resentment, and his sanity was completely restored. Lu Qingxuan used the power of Chaos to help him reshape his divine body, and his cultivation was even better than before.

On this day, the main Peak of Grand Void Holy Land.

Lu Qingxuan stood on the top of the mountain, with nine figures standing behind him—Su Linger, Sword Dust, Lu Mingdao, Jin Wanxiang, Mo Yuan, Bronze Profound (the new High Priest after Rebirth), Yin, and two Disciples he had newly accepted during these three years.

"Are you all ready?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

The nine people nodded in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Qingxuan looked up at the sky.

The void cracked, and a beam of light descended.

The figure of Time Watcher appeared in the beam of light: "The time has come."

Lu Qingxuan took one last look at the world where he had risen, and took one last look at the billions of living beings kneeling below to see him off.

Then, he took the nine people and stepped into the beam of light.

The beam of light contracted and disappeared.

The myriad heavens and worlds lost a legend.

And a broader stage gained a... Chaos Dominator.
