83: Brave the beast tides of the Creation Plains, fight the dragons in the canyon, and ascend the Creation Platform.

The vanguard team stepped into the Creation Realm. Clear Snow expanded her Ice and Snow Domain, her cold Qi sweeping away the mist: "The plain is two li from here. Clear the beast tide quickly!"

The Wood Spirit Clan warriors scattered Sacred Plant Powder. The powder emitted a green light, marking the direction of the beast herds to avoid detours.

After traveling one li, the ground vibrated. A hundred Creation Beasts rushed forward, their bodies crystal white, their auras at the Peak of the Late Stage of transcendence.

"Ice and Snow Vine Formation!" Clear Snow commanded. Cold Qi wrapped around the vines, freezing and entangling the front row of beasts, causing the herd to stall.

The Sea Spirit Clan sprayed a curtain of Origin Water to block the charge of the rear beasts; the Transcendence Clan raised purple crystal shields, their shield formation advancing to crash into the beasts.

The Wood Spirit Clan's vines strangled the beast cores, and the beasts turned into points of light, leaving behind a hundred crystal cores. The Support Team followed closely to collect the crystals.

Clear Snow absorbed half a crystal core, moving from 95% (Early Stage Origin Realm) to 96%; the Sea Spirit Clan Leader moved from 91% to 92% (mid-transcendence).

Continuing to two li, the Creation Plain appeared: sacred plants covered the ground, emitting creation light. In the distance, there was an Origin Fruit Forest glowing with a faint gold.

"Pick the fruits to replenish energy!" Clear Snow ordered. The Elf Clan Archers picked the fruits: "The fruits replenish 0.5% concentration. Pick a hundred!"

Everyone shared the fruits, and their Origin slightly increased: Nian Xue went from 69.5% to 70%; A Qing from 49.5% to 50%; the Star Spirit Clan Leader from 50.5% to 51%.

Clear Snow sent a message to Lin Chen: "The plain beasts are cleared. The canyon is three li from here. Bring the main force team quickly!"

Lin Chen led the main force team into the Realm. The Metal Clan set up Creation Cannons: "The cannons are fully charged and can blast through Peak Origin Stage scales!"

The Stone Spirit Clan linked their crystal shields into a formation, with Creation Runes engraved on the shield surfaces: "Impact resistance increased tenfold to defend against the Canyon Jiao's surprise attacks!"

Traveling to three li, the Creation Canyon appeared: creation crystals were embedded in the canyon walls, and the Creation River at the bottom glowed with golden light, hiding the Canyon Jiao.

The Star Spirit Clan Leader's crystal stone lit up: "The Jiao is at the bottom of the river. It's seventy zhang long with golden scales reflecting light. It's at the Peak of the Origin Realm!"

Clear Snow expanded her Ice and Snow Domain: "Freeze the river surface! Everyone advance on the ice. Do not fall in; the water absorbs creation Origin!"

The cold Qi plummeted, and the river surface condensed into thick ice. Everyone stepped onto the ice to advance. Creation Patterns appeared on the ice surface, making it as steady as a rock.

Reaching the center of the canyon, the Creation Jiao burst through the ice: "Roar!" The Jiao's tail slammed the ice, cracking it for several zhang as water splashed everywhere.

"Do it!" Lin Chen teleported to the Jiao's side and struck the Jiao core with the Anti-Heavenly Dao Rule: "Bang!" Creation Patterns appeared on the Jiao core.

The Dragon Clan Dragon Guards spread their golden wings, flapping them against the Jiao's eyes; the Supreme Clan warriors held staves, the golden light at the tips piercing the gaps in the Jiao's scales.

The Metal Clan's Creation Cannons blasted the Jiao core's patterns, the cannon light wrapped in creation crystal powder: "Boom!" The Jiao swung its tail in pain, and the ice surface cracked again.

Clear Snow stabbed an ice spear into the Jiao's leg: "Freeze!" The ice spear entered, and the Jiao's leg froze, its movements suddenly slowing and becoming difficult.

Nian Xue sat on A Qing's dragon back and threw a Void Light Orb: "Smash your head!" The light orb exploded, making the Jiao's nose go numb and its aura drop by thirty percent.

A Qing circled to the Jiao's rear and shot Dragon Breath from her golden wings at the Jiao's belly: "Burn!" The Dragon Breath scorched the Jiao's belly. In pain, the Jiao swung its tail against a platform pillar, causing it to crack.

Lin Chen took the Opportunity to teleport onto the Jiao's back, gathering creation energy in his palm: "Creation · Core Breaker!" The power of rules slammed into the Jiao core's patterns with a "Crack!"

The Jiao core cracked. Clear Snow stabbed an ice spear into the crack, and ice froze the core; the metal cannons blasted again, the Jiao core shattered, and the Jiao fell to the ground, turning into points of light.

Leaving behind a Peak Origin Realm crystal core and a "canyon key," Lin Chen collected the crystal core while the key glowed with creation light.

"Distribute the crystal cores! Absorb the energy to stabilize your Realms!" Lin Chen distributed the crystals. He went from 50.5% to 52.5% (Late Stage Origin Realm); Clear Snow from 96% to 97%;

Nian Xue from 70% to 71% (Post-Diamond Middle Stage); A Qing from 50% to 52%; the Star Spirit Clan Leader from 51% to 53%;

The Dragon Clan Dragon Guard Leader from 51.5% to 53.5%; the Supreme Clan Leader from 62% to 64%; the Spirit Plant Clan Chief from 18% to 20%.

The Support Team delivered Creation Pills: "Taking these will increase your Origin by sixty percent and last for two hours. Prepare to battle the Guardian Beast of the Creation Platform!"

Everyone took the pills, and their Origin rose again: Lin Chen from 52.5% to 53%; Clear Snow from 97% to 97.5%; Nian Xue from 71% to 71.5%.

The team advanced toward the exit of the canyon. The creation crystals on the canyon walls reflected the people, and the river ice glowed gold, as if seeing them off.

Reaching the canyon mouth, the Creation Platform appeared: two hundred zhang high, built of creation crystals. At the top of the platform was a Creation Slot where a Guardian Beast lay.

The Guardian Beast—a Creation Lion, sixty zhang long with a golden mane glowing with creation light. Its aura was at the Middle Stage of the Creation Realm!

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Lin Chen ordered. The Metal Clan set up cannons around the platform, muzzles aimed at the lion;

The Wood Spirit Clan shot long vines to entangle the platform pillars and secure the position; the Stone Spirit Clan linked crystal shields into a formation to protect the team;

Clear Snow expanded her Ice and Snow Domain to its maximum, cold Qi condensing into ice spears ready to be launched;

The Supreme Clan warriors gathered creation light in their staves;

The Dragon Clan Dragon Guards spread their golden wings, their Dragon Breath condensing into pillars of light;

The Elf Clan Archers nocked arrows, their tips coated with Sacred Plant Poison;

Nian Xue clutched a large light orb, crouching on A Qing's back: "Daddy, I'll smash its eyes so it can't see clearly!"

A Qing spat Dragon Breath, her dragon scales glowing intensely: "Hold tight, little sister. I'll circle behind and burn its mane!"

Lin Chen gathered the full power of the Late Stage Origin Realm in his palm: "Attack in three waves! The vanguard team will distract it, the main force team will attack the core, and the Support Team will replenish energy!"

"First wave! vanguard team, go!" Clear Snow led the charge. Vines entangled the lion's legs, and ice spears stabbed its claws. The lion roared in anger.

The lion swung its head to crash into them, but the Transcendence Clan's shields blocked it: "Bang!" The shield patterns lit up, and the lion retreated three steps, its aura slightly dropping.

"Second wave! main force team, attack!" Lin Chen teleported to the lion's side, striking the lion core with the rules: "Bang!" Cracks appeared on the lion core.

The metal cannons blasted the cracks, the stone spirit shields blocked the lion's charge, and the Dragon Clan Dragon Guards flapped their golden wings against the lion's head, making it stumble.

"Third wave! Support Team, replenish!" The Star Spirit Clan's crystal stone lit up, searching for the lion's weakness; the Elf Clan's arrows shot the lion's eyes, causing the blind lion to crash about wildly.

Nian Xue threw a Void Light Orb at the lion's nose: "Dizzy!" The light orb exploded, making the lion's nose go numb and its aura drop by fifty percent.

A Qing circled to the lion's rear and shot Dragon Breath at its belly: "Burn!" The lion's belly was scorched black. In pain, the lion swung its tail against a platform pillar, causing it to crumble.

Lin Chen took the Opportunity to teleport onto the lion's back, gathering creation energy in his palm: "Creation · Ultimate Break!" The power of rules slammed into the cracks with a "Crack!"

The lion core shattered, and the Creation Lion collapsed to the ground, turning into points of Origin light, leaving behind a Middle Stage Creation Realm crystal core and a "Creation Inheritance Pearl."

"We won!" The Allied Army cheered. Nian Xue ran toward Lin Chen, raising her small fist: "Daddy is so amazing! We won!"

Lin Chen picked up the crystal core and pearl, distributing the crystal core: "Absorb the energy to stabilize your Realms, prepare to take the Creation Legacy!"

He absorbed 1/5 of the crystal core, moving from 53% to 55%; Clear Snow from 97.5% to 99.5%; Nian Xue from 71.5% to 73%;

A Qing from 52% to 54%; the Star Spirit Clan Leader from 53% to 55%; the Dragon Clan Dragon Guard Leader from 53.5% to 55.5%;

The Supreme Clan Leader from 64% to 66%; the Spirit Plant Clan Chief from 20% to 22%; the Stone Spirit Clan Leader from 97% to 98%.

Holding the inheritance pearl, Lin Chen ascended to the top of the Creation Platform, inserted the pearl into the Creation Slot, and injected Origin. The slot patterns lit up.

The creation inheritance crystal slowly descended, emitting Peak Creation light: "Everyone take turns absorbing the crystal to raise your Realms!"

Lin Chen distributed the crystal. He went from 55% to 57%; Clear Snow from 99.5% to 1% (Middle Stage Origin Realm); Nian Xue from 73% to 75%;

A Qing from 54% to 56%; the Star Spirit Clan Leader from 55% to 57%; the Dragon Clan Dragon Guard Leader from 55.5% to 57.5%;

The Supreme Clan Leader from 66% to 68%; the Spirit Plant Clan Chief from 22% to 24%; the Stone Spirit Clan Leader from 98% to 99%.

When the inheritance crystal was exhausted, the Creation Records appeared in the slot: "The stage after the Creation Realm is the 'Origin Chaos Realm.' One must enter the Chaos Realm and find the Chaos Core!"

"Chaos Realm?" Lin Chen's Divine Thought swept to the far west: there was an entrance to the Chaos Realm, its aura at the Early Stage of the Chaos Realm, hiding the ultimate Opportunity.

The Supreme Clan Leader stepped forward: "The Guardian Beast of the Chaos Realm has reached the Middle Stage of the Chaos Realm. We need to assemble the combat power of all clans!"

"Back to the Stronghold first!" Lin Chen ordered. "After resting, we will unite all clan allies to venture into the Chaos Realm together!"

The team began their journey back to the Stronghold. The golden light of the Creation Platform faded behind them. The path to the Chaos Realm was waiting to be conquered.
