Hongmeng Realm

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf crouched low, its wolf eyes reflecting a colossal law crystal. This crystal, over ten thousand li in diameter, was enveloped in black energy, somewhat similar to the Void Law encountered before, yet possessing an additional attribute of "creation"—it was slowly devouring the surrounding smaller crystals while releasing faint life energy, as if nurturing some kind of creature.

"Howl—" The Silver Wolf growled at the crystal, its claws imbued with the fused power of Primordial Law and Space Law, clearly sensing the danger within the crystal. White Night quickly restrained the Silver Wolf, shaking his head: "Don't attack yet. These crystals might be the 'Law Bedrock' of an unknown starfield. Destroying them could cause a lawdisorder (law disorder) throughout the entire starfield."

He took out the "Star Steel Detector" brought from the Mechanical Race and infused it with Primordial Law. The detector activated, nourished by the law energy, and lines of data rapidly flashed across the screen: [Unknown Starfield Law Type: Chaos Creation Law; Energy Level: Mid-stage Hongmeng Realm; Danger Index: ★★★★☆; Special Attribute: Can devour, fuse, and transform all known laws]

"Chaos Creation Law..." A look of surprise flashed in White Night's eyes. This law not only contained the devouring characteristic of Chaos Law but also possessed the creative ability of life law. It bore some resemblance to his Primordial Law, yet was purer and held greater potential. "If I can master this law, perhaps I can elevate the Primordial Law to a new realm."

Just then, the giant law crystal suddenly trembled violently, and a blurry biological outline emerged from the black energy—this was a "Crystal Creature" condensed from the Chaos Creation Law. Its body was like transparent crystal, with black energy flowing within, its four limbs were sharp law blades, and spatial distortion undulated around it. Its strength had reached the mid-stage Hongmeng Realm, on par with White Night.

"Roar!" The Crystal Creature let out a silent roar, its four law blades, carrying the might to tear everything apart, slashed towards White Night and the Silver Wolf. Wherever the blade light passed, the surrounding law crystals were torn apart, forming tiny spatial fissures.

"Primordial Law - Defense!" White Night raised the pale golden light shield to its maximum. The void characteristic of Void Law was integrated into the shield. When the blade light struck the shield, it directly penetrated the surface, but was purified one by one by the Primordial Violet Qi inside the shield, turning into harmless energy.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf seized the opportunity to activate Void Shuttle, its silver figure appearing like a phantom behind the Crystal Creature. Its wolf claws, imbued with the fused power of Primordial Law and Chaos Creation Law (just absorbed from the surrounding small crystals), fiercely struck towards the creature's core—the most concentrated area of black energy.

"Bang!" The wolf claw struck the core, emitting a crisp sound of crystal shattering. A huge crack appeared on the Crystal Creature's body, and a large amount of black energy surged out from the crack. It let out a pained roar and turned to sweep its law blades towards the Silver Wolf.

"Primordial Life Talisman - Bind!" White Night simultaneously threw dozens of talismans, and pale golden light formed a giant net around the Crystal Creature. The Primordial Violet Qi within the net resonated with the Chaos Creation Law, actually beginning to absorb the black energy within the creature's body, converting it into energy to nourish the net, firmly trapping the creature.

"Now!" White Night swung his longsword, imbued with Primordial Law and Chaos Creation Law. The seven-colored sword light (infused with the law energy of the unknown starfield) cut a huge arc, precisely striking the Crystal Creature's core.

"Crack!" The Crystal Creature's core shattered in the sword light, the black energy was purified one by one, and its body also transformed into countless tiny law crystals, scattered across the starry sky. These small crystals contained pure Chaos Creation Law energy, which was absorbed one by one by White Night's Primordial Law and integrated into his own law system.

[Killed Chaos Creation Creature x1, obtained "Chaos Creation Law Fragment" x100, Primordial Law fusion increased to 85%]

[Unlocked New Law Ability: Chaos Creation (Can use chaotic energy to create new law creatures for personal use)]

After absorbing the law fragments, White Night's Primordial Law light shield gained a seven-colored pattern, a symbol of the integration of the Chaos Creation Law. He could clearly feel that his control over laws had risen to another level, even able to create simple law creatures in the void, such as seven-colored law birds and transparent law fish. These creatures could help him detect the surrounding environment and warn of potential dangers.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf also absorbed a large amount of energy from the scattered crystals. Its fur shimmered with seven-colored light, leaving a seven-colored trail behind it when performing Void Shuttle, increasing its speed by thirty percent. Its "Ecological Creation" ability was also enhanced, allowing it to cultivate plants adapted to the Chaos Creation Law in the unknown starfield.

The two continued to fly deeper into the unknown starfield. The law crystals along the way became denser and their forms increasingly peculiar. Some crystals were spiral-shaped, with internal law energy that could accelerate the flow of time, making a mere quarter of an hour equivalent to a year outside; some were flat and sheet-like, capable of refracting light into solid blades to attack approaching creatures; others were hollow spheres, containing a small space of their own where the laws were completely opposite to the outside world, with concepts of "up" and "down," "left" and "right" inverted.

In an "Inverted Space Zone" composed of spherical crystals, White Night encountered the intelligent civilization of the unknown starfield for the first time—the "Crystal Race." This was a race condensed from the Chaos Creation Law. Their bodies resembled the surrounding law crystals, appearing transparent and seven-colored, without a fixed form. They could change at will according to their own consciousness, some transforming into human forms, some into beast forms, and some even into floating light clusters.

The Crystal Race's perception was extremely keen. As soon as White Night's Primordial Law touched the Inverted Space Zone, dozens of seven-colored figures flew out from the spherical crystals. The leader was an elder of the Crystal Race who had transformed into a human form. His body was a deep purple, representing the high-tier form of the Chaos Creation Law, and he was enveloped in law energy stronger than White Night's, his strength reaching the late-stage Hongmeng Realm—he was precisely the patriarch of the Crystal Race, Venerable Purple Crystal.

"Outsiders, why have you trespassed into the Creation Starfield?" Venerable Purple Crystal's voice resonated directly in White Night's sea of consciousness, devoid of any worldly emotion, yet carrying the majesty of the Chaos Creation Law. "This is the sacred land of the Crystal Race; no external creatures have ever set foot here."

White Night retracted his offensive stance with the Primordial Law, releasing a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi that had absorbed the Chaos Creation Law, to prove he had no ill intent: "Junior White Night, from this universe, came to explore cosmic laws and did not intend to offend your esteemed sacred land. These are Chaos Creation Law fragments absorbed from the Crystal Creature; I wish to return them as a token of my sincerity."

Venerable Purple Crystal felt the Chaos Creation Law in the violet qi, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "You can actually absorb and control the Chaos Creation Law? In the history of the Creation Starfield, no external creature besides our Crystal Race has ever achieved this." He lowered his guard, his body transforming into a purple stream of light. "Follow me. In the Patriarch's Grand Hall, we can have a good talk."

The Crystal Race's Patriarch's Grand Hall was located inside a gigantic "Mother Crystal." The Mother Crystal was the largest law crystal in the Creation Starfield, over a million li in diameter, containing the purest Chaos Creation Law energy, and was the origin of the Crystal Race's birth. The hall's floor was paved with transparent crystals, with seven-colored law energy flowing beneath the surface. The walls on both sides were carved with patterns recording the history of the Crystal Race—from these patterns, it could be seen that the Crystal Race had lived in the Creation Starfield for hundreds of millions of years, guarding the Mother Crystal for generations, and researching the mysteries of the Chaos Creation Law. Their greatest threat came from the "Void Devourers" from the depths of the starfield.

"Void Devourers are monsters formed by the fusion of the Void Law from the outer void and the Chaos Creation Law of the Creation Starfield." Venerable Purple Crystal pointed to a ferocious black creature in the patterns. "They can devour all law crystals and even contaminate the Mother Crystal's energy. If not stopped, the entire Creation Starfield will be destroyed by them. We have tried countless methods, but cannot completely eliminate them; we can only temporarily resist with the Mother Crystal's energy."

White Night looked at the patterns, and a thought sparked in his mind: "Does the energy of the Void Devourers contain both the devouring characteristic of Void Law and the regenerative ability of Chaos Creation Law?"

Venerable Purple Crystal nodded: "Precisely. Their regenerative ability is extremely strong; even if shattered, they can re-condense in a short time. Unless both the Void Law and Chaos Creation Law can be purified simultaneously, they cannot be completely eliminated."

"I might have a way." A glint flashed in White Night's eyes. He simultaneously fused the Primordial Law, Void Law, and Chaos Creation Law, condensing a "Primordial Chaos Talisman" in his palm. The talisman appeared as a pattern of seven colors interwoven with black, containing the balanced power of purification and creation. "This talisman can simultaneously restrain both laws, perhaps it can help you eliminate the Void Devourers."

Venerable Purple Crystal looked at the talisman, surprise flashing in his eyes: "The energy of this talisman... can actually balance the Void Law and Chaos Creation Law! If it can truly eliminate the Void Devourers, the Crystal Race is willing to share all their Chaos Creation Law inheritances with you, and will also help you explore the ultimate secret of the Creation Starfield—the creation crystal core."

"creation crystal core?" White Night asked curiously.

"The creation crystal core is the origin of the Creation Starfield, containing the Chaos Creation Law energy from the beginning of the universe, capable of creating entirely new starfields and civilizations," Venerable Purple Crystal explained. "But the creation crystal core is located in the Void Devourers' lair, the 'Devouring Abyss,' guarded by countless Void Devourers. We have never been able to approach it."

White Night nodded: "If I can obtain the creation crystal core, it will not only help your esteemed race resolve its crisis but also allow me to understand the origin of cosmic laws more deeply. I am willing to go with you to the Devouring Abyss, eliminate the Void Devourers, and seize the creation crystal core."

For the next ten days, White Night and the Crystal Race worked together to devise a battle plan. They discovered that the core of the Void Devourers was the "Void Creation Core," a product of the fusion of Void Law and Chaos Creation Law. As long as this core was destroyed, the Devourers could be completely eliminated. The energy of the creation crystal core could counteract the Void Creation Core, and by injecting its energy into runes, the power of those runes could be greatly enhanced.

"The number of Void Devourers in the Devouring Abyss exceeds a million, with ten of them having reached the late Hongmeng Realm, and one 'Devouring Overlord' having reached the peak Hongmeng Realm, their strength far surpassing ours." Violet Crystal Venerable handed White Night a purple crystal. "This is the 'Mother Crystal Core,' which can temporarily increase your Chaos Creation Law fusion, allowing you to better control the energy of the creation crystal core."

White Night took the Mother Crystal Core and integrated it into his Primordial Law. Purple energy spread along the law barrier, and he could clearly feel his control over the Chaos Creation Law greatly increasing. He could even create law creatures with Hongmeng Realm strength in the void, such as colorful crystal dragons and transparent law lions, which could become important aids in battle.

Ten days later, White Night, Wind Howling Silver Wolf, and a thousand powerhouses from the Crystal Race formed the "Creation Squad" and flew towards the Devouring Abyss. The Devouring Abyss was located in the deepest part of the Creation Starfield, a massive black vortex from which black void energy continuously surged. The surrounding law crystals were polluted by the energy, turning into black, dead crystals, and even space itself was corroded with countless tiny fissures.

"Roar!" A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the vortex, and countless Void Devourers rushed out. They varied in form: some were like giant octopuses, whose tentacles could entangle and devour law crystals; some were like sharp sharks, whose teeth could tear space; and others were like floating jellyfish, surrounded by black mist capable of polluting laws. Even the weakest among them had reached the early Hongmeng Realm.

"Primordial Chaos Rune - Burst!" White Night simultaneously threw dozens of runes, and the intertwined colorful and black light formed a vast sea of light in the starry sky. The Void Devourers within the sea of light were purified one by one, their black bodies disintegrating into harmless energy that merged into the surrounding starfield.

Wind Howling Silver Wolf initiated Void Shuttle, its silver figure weaving through the sea of light. Its wolf claws condensed the fused power of Primordial Law, Space Law, and Chaos Creation Law, slaying the escaping Void Devourers one by one. The law plants it created also played a role at this moment; each time a Void Devourer was killed, a purple crystal flower would sprout in its place. These flowers could automatically absorb the surrounding void energy, forming a natural defensive barrier.

The powerhouses of the Crystal Race, meanwhile, unleashed Chaos Creation Law, condensing countless colorful law weapons such as longswords, spears, and bows, cooperating with White Night's runes to launch an all-out attack on the Void Devourers. Violet Crystal Venerable even transformed into a stream of purple light, condensing a massive crystal sword in her hand. The Chaos Creation Law energy on the sword surged, and each swing could slay dozens of Void Devourers.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights. Although the Creation Squad had slain a large number of Void Devourers, they also paid a heavy price—a hundred powerhouses of the Crystal Race perished, a massive crack appeared in White Night's Primordial Law barrier, and Wind Howling Silver Wolf's fur was polluted by void energy, revealing bloody wounds beneath.

"This won't work; the Void Devourers will only increase." White Night frowned, his Heavenly Heart Imprint rapidly analyzing the Devouring Abyss's energy. "We must find the Devouring Overlord as soon as possible and destroy its Void Creation Core, otherwise, this battle will never end."

Violet Crystal Venerable nodded: "The Devouring Overlord is at the center of the Devouring Abyss, guarding the creation crystal core. But its strength is extremely formidable; we need to formulate a meticulous plan to have a chance to defeat it."

Just then, a powerful black energy erupted from the center of the Devouring Abyss, and a massive black figure slowly condensed from the vortex. This was a Void Devourer tens of thousands of feet tall, its body composed of countless black tentacles, its head a giant black crystal (the Void Creation Core), surrounded by void energy capable of devouring everything. Its strength had reached the peak Hongmeng Realm, even more formidable than White Night and Violet Crystal Venerable combined—it was precisely the Devouring Overlord!

"Outsiders, how dare you trespass into my overlord's territory and destroy my people!" The Devouring Overlord let out a cold roar, and countless black tentacles shot out from the vortex, striking towards the Creation Squad with the force to tear apart the universe. The void energy on the tentacles could corrode all laws, and even White Night's Primordial Law barrier violently trembled under the energy's impact, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

"Primordial Chaos Rune - Ultimate Purification!" White Night injected all of his Primordial Law, Void Law, Chaos Creation Law, and the energy from the Mother Crystal Core into the rune. The rune erupted with unprecedented light in his palm, forming a seven-colored black light pillar that pierced through heaven and earth. The light pillar contained the balanced power of purification and creation, colliding with the Devouring Overlord's black tentacles.

"Boom—!"

A violent explosion echoed at the center of the Devouring Abyss. Black void energy and seven-colored black law energy fiercely clashed, forming an energy storm a million miles in diameter. Within the storm, countless law crystals were forcibly torn apart and reassembled, and even the vortex of the Devouring Abyss violently trembled, on the verge of collapsing.

White Night, Wind Howling Silver Wolf, and Violet Crystal Venerable were all knocked back simultaneously. White Night's Primordial Law barrier completely shattered, and he spat out a large mouthful of golden immortal soul blood, his immortal soul showing tiny cracks under the erosion of void energy. Silver Wolf's injuries were even more severe; its silver body was struck by black tentacles, large patches of fur fell off, revealing deep, bone-visible wounds, and its aura became weak. Violet Crystal Venerable's purple body also showed damage, with large amounts of Chaos Creation Law energy pouring out from her wounds, greatly weakening her strength.

"Hahaha! Your power is too weak!" The Devouring Overlord let out a mocking laugh, and countless black tentacles shot out again. This time, the attack speed was several times faster than before, clearly intending to completely annihilate the Creation Squad.

At this critical moment, a seven-colored light suddenly erupted from the center of the Devouring Abyss. Within the light, a basketball-sized crystal slowly rose. The crystal contained the Chaos Creation Law energy from the dawn of the universe—it was precisely the creation crystal core! The crystal's energy resonated with White Night's Primordial Chaos Rune, and the rune's light surged again, forming a massive light shield that blocked the black tentacles' attack.

"creation crystal core!" Violet Crystal Venerable's eyes flashed with surprise. "It's responding to your rune! As long as you inject all of the crystal's energy into the rune, you can completely eliminate the Devouring Overlord!"

White Night understood, enduring his injuries and connecting his Primordial Law with the energy of the creation crystal core. Seven-colored energy flowed along the rune, and the rune's form changed, transforming into a seven-colored crystal containing the energy to create and destroy the universe—this was the "Primordial Creation Rune," the ultimate form of the fusion of Primordial Law and Chaos Creation Law.

"Devouring Overlord, today I shall let you witness the true power of creation and purification!" White Night threw the Primordial Creation Rune towards the Devouring Overlord, and the seven-colored light instantly enveloped the Overlord's body.

The Devouring Overlord let out a mournful scream, its black body rapidly disintegrating in the light. The Void Creation Core was also purified one by one, transforming into pure Chaos Creation Law energy and merging into the creation crystal core. When the last trace of black energy was purified, the vortex of the Devouring Abyss also dissipated, and the surrounding black crystals, nourished by the creation crystal core's energy, re-emitted seven-colored light, restoring their original form.

[Killed Devouring Overlord (peak Hongmeng Realm), obtained "creation crystal core" x1, Primordial Law fusion increased to 95%]

[Broke through to late Hongmeng Realm, unlocked "Creation Law" ability (can utilize Chaos Creation Law and Primordial Law to create new starfields and civilizations)]

With the Devouring Overlord dealt with, the members of the Creation Squad all breathed a sigh of relief.

The powerhouses of the Crystal Race all knelt towards White Night, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

Violet Crystal Venerable stepped forward and bowed deeply to White Night: "Fellow Daoist White Night, you not only saved the Creation Starfield but also helped us reclaim the creation crystal core. From now on, the Crystal Race is willing to follow you forever, to guard the balance of the universe!"

...The creation crystal core floated in White Night's palm, its seven-colored light like a flowing galaxy. Each ray of light contained the Chaos Creation Law from the dawn of the universe.

When White Night's Primordial Law touched the crystal core, countless ancient messages surged into his sea of consciousness like a tide—these messages recorded the ultimate mysteries of the universe's birth: before the formation of this universe, there existed a "Prehistoric Universe," and the creation crystal core was precisely formed from the last wisp of Chaos Creation Law when the Prehistoric Universe was destroyed. It could not only create new starfields but also repair the universe's "law loopholes," making it key to maintaining the universe's balance.

"So that's how it is..." White Night's eyes flashed with shock. He finally understood why the Void Law from the Outer Void could easily invade this universe—it was because of the law loopholes left by the Prehistoric Universe that allowed external abnormal laws to exploit them. And the creation crystal core was the only key to filling those loopholes.

Violet Crystal Venerable looked at the crystal core in White Night's hand and said with a solemn tone: "The destruction of the Prehistoric Universe was due to the breaking of the law's balance, ultimately leading to its self-collapse. Our Crystal Race has guarded the creation crystal core for generations precisely to prevent history from repeating itself. Now, this crystal core has finally found its true owner."
