Nine Transformations of Chaos

On the third day in the Chaos Divine Hall, White Night sat cross-legged on the Enlightenment Platform, which was shrouded in Chaos Nebula, the gray jade slip in his hand glowing with a moist luster.

Over the past three days, he had absorbed the Chaos God King's insights into the Laws like a sponge, and the divine ability "Nine Transformations of Chaos" recorded in the jade slip was beginning to show its first signs of mastery.

The first transformation, "Chaos Body," caused his divine physique's strength to surge threefold; even a full-strength strike from a High-ranking True God might not injure him in the slightest.

The second transformation, "Law Mimicry," allowed him to instantly simulate three fundamental Laws of different attributes, which would have been unimaginable in previous battles.

"Buzz!"

When the last wisp of Law insight merged into his mind, the Enlightenment Platform suddenly shook violently. The purple-gold lightning and Chaos Power within White Night instantly intertwined, and a tenth gray halo appeared outside the nine great halos!

As the halos rotated, the Law Runes of the entire Chaos Divine Hall resonated. The Chaos Nebula outside the hall surged like a tide, condensing into phantoms of massive Thunder Beasts, which bowed in worship towards the Enlightenment Platform.

"Is this... a precursor to a High-ranking True God?" White Night opened his eyes, Chaos and Thunder intertwining into a Taiji pattern in his pupils.

He could clearly feel that the power of the Laws within him had reached the limit of a Middle True God, and he only needed a catalyst to break through. This catalyst might be hidden in the Chaos God King's words.

Just then, the Chaos God King's voice came from the depths of the Divine Hall: "Little fellow, come to the main hall."

White Night stood up and tidied his robes, the tenth gray halo silently receding.

When he arrived at the center of the Divine Hall, he saw the Chaos God King standing before a massive water mirror, which reflected the scene deep within the Demon Abyss.

In the rolling purple-black turbid stream, countless twisted Law fragments darted like swimming fish. Monsters with a hundred eyes and a thousand arms were devouring stars, and in the deepest shadow, one could vaguely see a pair of giant claws covered in black scales. The turbid liquid dripping from the claw tips could even corrode the void.

"This is the current situation of the Demon Abyss that I observed using the 'Chaos Heavenly Eye'." The Chaos God King's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity. "Do you see that floating continent? That is the 'Lapis Lazuli God Realm,' which was swallowed by the Demon Abyss three hundred years ago. Now it has become a breeding ground for demons."

Following his gaze, White Night saw the remnants of the Lapis Lazuli God Realm covered in thick gray moss. Every time the moss wriggled, it spat out countless Law Larvae. These larvae, upon landing, transformed into Demon Soldiers wielding bone blades.

What was even more alarming was that in the center of the continent stood an altar piled high with billions of divine bones. Suspended above the altar was a pulsating black heart. Every time the heart beat, the surrounding Laws would distort slightly.

"That is the 'heart of ten thousand demons,' forged from the Law Cores of countless God Realms, capable of continuously breeding new demons." The Chaos God King pointed a finger, and the image in the water mirror suddenly zoomed in. "Look closely at the runes around the altar."

White Night focused his gaze, noticing that the runes carved on the base of the altar were faintly similar to the golden facial markings he had seen in the Ruins of Gods Fall!

Even stranger, the aura emanating from the circulating runes felt homologous to the Law Core of the Eternal Sacred Ruins.

"This... these are the Law Runes of the Eternal God Realm!" White Night exclaimed in shock. "Could the Lord of the Demon Abyss be related to the birth of the Eternal Sacred Ruins?"

The Chaos God King remained silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Do you know why the Eternal Sacred Ruins appeared?" Without waiting for White Night's reply, he continued, "It was a trial ground created after the last Great War between Gods and Demons. We God Kings used fragments of our own divinity as a guide to seal the remnants of the shattered God Realms, aiming to cultivate powerful individuals capable of resisting the Demon Abyss.

But we all overlooked one thing: the turbid energy of the Demon Abyss seeped into the cracks of the seal."

The image in the water mirror suddenly switched, showing the Law Core of the Eternal Sacred Ruins being wrapped in gray threads. The source of these threads was precisely the heart of ten thousand demons deep within the Demon Abyss!

"So, the Law Core of the Eternal Sacred Ruins and the heart of ten thousand demons have already been connected through these threads?" White Night's fingertips trembled slightly. He finally understood why the Law Core was eroded by the Demon Abyss's turbid energy at the God Conferment Platform. That was no accident; it was a long-term scheme devised by the Lord of the Demon Abyss!

The Chaos God King sighed: "The truly terrifying part is yet to come." As he waved his hand, a figure clad in a black robe appeared in the water mirror. The figure's face was obscured by a hood, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with red light.

"This fiend is named 'Ying' (Shadow). He is the right-hand man of the Lord of the Demon Abyss, and his strength has reached the peak of a High-ranking True God. He specializes in infiltration and assassination. Three days ago, he infiltrated the Eternal Continent."

White Night's heart tightened: "Infiltrated the Eternal Continent? What does he intend to do?"

"Steal the God King's Divinity." The Chaos God King's voice was cold as iron. "Although the heart of ten thousand demons is powerful, it lacks the fundamental Law source of a God King. Ying's target is the upcoming 'Great God Conferment Ceremony'."

At that time, all God Kings will project their divinity onto the God Conferment Platform to bestow blessings upon the newly promoted True Gods. This is the best time for him to strike."

Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the Divine Hall. The Chaos Nebula surged violently, and a black rift appeared out of thin air. Countless gray light blades shot out from the rift, aiming directly for the Chaos God King's back.

"Perfect timing!" The Chaos God King did not dodge. The nine-colored divine light around him suddenly erupted, and the gray light blades were annihilated within the divine light. "White Night, capture this fiend for me!"

White Night had already moved. The Eternal Demon Blade, carrying purple-gold lightning, rushed out of the Divine Hall, just in time to clash with a black figure darting out of the rift.

The figure's speed was extreme, and it was wrapped in black mist that could distort space—it was Ying!

"A Middle True God? You dare to stop me?" Ying's voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing together. Countless bone claws suddenly stretched out from the black mist, their tips flashing with virulent poison that could corrode Laws.

White Night snorted coldly. The tenth gray halo suddenly lit up, and Chaos Power and Thunder Law intertwined to form a spiral barrier.

The bone claws struck the barrier, producing a grating sizzling sound. The black venom was purified by the lightning, turning into harmless water vapor.

"Chaos Law?!" Ying's red-glowing pupils suddenly contracted. He clearly hadn't expected a Middle True God to possess such pure Chaos Power.

White Night gave him no time to be shocked. His figure flickered as he deployed "Law Mimicry," instantly simulating the three fundamental Laws of Water, Fire, and Earth.

A colossal wave suddenly erupted from the Thunder Prison Domain. The wave contained sky-burning fierce flames, and upon landing, it transformed into ten thousand-foot-high earthen peaks, completely blocking Ying's escape routes.

"Petty tricks!" Ying roared. The black mist suddenly expanded, transforming into a monstrous Shadow Beast that blotted out the sky.

The massive beast opened its huge mouth and actually began to devour the surrounding Law power. The colossal wave, fierce flames, and earthen peaks disintegrated within its mouth.

"As expected, he specializes in the Devouring Law." White Night's eyes narrowed slightly. The Eternal Demon Blade suddenly plunged into the ground, and the third transformation of the Nine Transformations of Chaos, "Ten Thousand Laws Converge," was activated at full power!

Law Runes from a thousand miles around detached from the ground, transforming into countless colorful light threads. These light threads condensed behind him into a ten-thousand-zhang-long Chaos War Spear. The spear tip flickered with purple-gold lightning, vaguely possessing the power to tear apart Chaos.

"This is... a God King-level divine ability?!" Fear appeared in Ying's tone for the first time. The monstrous Shadow Beast immediately turned to burrow into the spatial rift.

But White Night was faster. The Chaos War Spear was hurled out with the might to pierce heaven and earth. Space along its path shattered, forming a long spatial tunnel.

The moment the war spear pierced the monstrous Shadow Beast's body, purple-gold lightning suddenly erupted, blasting the beast's black mist body into countless specks of light. Ying's true body screamed and flew out of the specks, his left arm torn by the war spear, revealing wriggling black tendons inside.

"You're courting death!" The red light in Ying's eyes surged. His right arm suddenly transformed into a black bone blade, which was covered in the same runes as the heart of ten thousand demons. Clearly, he was using his ultimate power.

Just at this critical moment, the Chaos God King's voice came from the Chaos Divine Hall: "Keep him alive!"

With a thought, White Night caused the lightning of the Chaos War Spear to suddenly recede, transforming into countless Law Chains that tightly bound Ying.

The Chaos Power on the chains continuously corroded Ying's black tendons, causing him to let out agonizing roars.

When White Night escorted Ying back to the Chaos Divine Hall, the scene inside the hall caused his pupils to shrink.

The Chaos God King was holding a gray longsword, the tip pressed against Divine Venerable Qiming's throat. Furthermore, a black scale was embedded in Divine Venerable Qiming's chest, and the aura emanating from the scale was of the same origin as Ying!

"What... what is going on?" White Night was stunned.

The Chaos God King snorted coldly: "I said Ying specializes in infiltration and assassination, but I never said he was alone."

He pointed a finger, and the black scale on Divine Venerable Qiming's chest suddenly burst forth with dazzling red light. The same black tendons as Ying appeared beneath the scale.

"No! I'm not a traitor!" Divine Venerable Qiming struggled frantically, his eyes filled with pain. "It was the scale! Three days ago, someone delivered a scale called 'God King's Gift,' saying it could help me break through to the God King Realm, and I..."

"The Demon Abyss's 'heart-eroding scale' is truly malicious." The Chaos God King's voice was frigid. "This scale can silently erode a True God's Divine Soul, turning them into a puppet of the Lord of the Demon Abyss. It seems Ying's purpose in infiltrating the Eternal Continent was not merely to steal divinity."

White Night suddenly remembered something and quickly said: "Senior, the Law Core of the Eternal Sacred Ruins! Since the heart-eroding scale can control True Gods, could the core also be..."

Before he finished speaking, the water mirror suddenly shook violently. In the image of the Eternal Sacred Ruins' Law Core, the gray threads suddenly surged, and a painful human face appeared on the surface of the golden heart—it was the golden face he had previously seen in the Ruins of Gods Fall!

"It's the First Generation Thunder Sovereign!" The Chaos God King's expression changed drastically. "His remnant soul has been guarding the Law Core, but now it has been controlled by the Demon Abyss's turbid energy!"

In the water mirror, the golden heart suddenly exploded. Countless gray streams of light poured into the Demon Abyss along the spatial rift. After absorbing the light streams, the heart of ten thousand demons swelled violently, beginning to condense a giant hand covered in black scales!

The giant hand grasped the remnants of the Lapis Lazuli God Realm, and with a gentle squeeze, transformed the entire continent into pure Law energy. The aura of the demons around the altar instantly surged, and three demons actually broke through to the Middle True God stage on the spot!
