309: Chapter 309 Chaos Triple Layer

【 Soon, the time arrived at the second day after your Breakthrough to the Creation Realm. Under your control, the long-silent heavenly dao golden ranking list finally began its third round of ranking. 】

【 On this day, golden light suddenly spread across the sky like a tide, instantly covering every corner of the entire Cangyuan World. 】

【 All living beings raised their heads simultaneously. That familiar, magnificent, and majestic golden light screen once again spanned across the Nine Heavens. 】

【 The theme of this heavenly dao golden ranking list review was "Top Ten Experts of the Cangyuan World." Unlike the previous two reviews that did not distinguish between high and low, this time the review had rankings. 】

【 As a short line of golden ancient seal characters appeared on the golden ranking, monstrous waves surged in the hearts of countless living beings. 】

【 Over these years, ever since the heavenly dao golden ranking list went silent, the entire Cangyuan World seemed to be missing something. 】

【 For Mortals and low-Rank cultivators, the golden ranking was the only window through which they could glimpse the scenery of the upper echelons of the cultivation world. 】

【 Every golden ranking review was a grand event that swept across the world. In teahouses and taverns, discussions were endless; within Sects and academies, everyone scrambled to interpret it. Even old farmers in the fields would gaze at the golden ranking light screen during their breaks, clicking their tongues in wonder. 】

【 And for those high-Rank cultivators who already stood at the Peak of the world, what they craved were the ancient secrets revealed by the golden ranking, as well as the Heavenly Dao rewards that could move even an Immortal Golden Immortal. 】

【 Since the end of the last round of reviews, these dozen-plus years should have felt like the snap of a finger to them. 】

【 Yet, the long silence of the golden ranking made many old monsters who had lived for who-knows-how-many years feel that time was exceptionally long, and even cultivation seemed somewhat dull. 】

【 Over these years, everyone had been looking forward to another review by the heavenly dao golden ranking list. 】

【 Seeing the expectations of all living beings, you no longer hesitated and directly began the review of the first person on the list. 】

【 When you had just reached Legend Perfection, through observing the Cangyuan World, you discovered thirty-four Immortal Golden Immortals. 】

【 However, now among these Golden Immortals, one has been killed by you, and three have had their Realm knocked down by you, so only thirty remain. 】

【 However, Immortal Golden Immortals possess infinite lifespans. To be ranked in the top ten among these thirty Immortal Golden Immortals and ascend this heavenly dao golden ranking list, every one of them is a titan with shocking foundations and combat power that dominates an era. 】

【 Immediately after, you saw golden light on the golden ranking converge into the first name — Ao Qing! 】

【 The instant the two characters appeared, a Dragon roar faintly echoed between heaven and earth, as if it had traveled from the primordial ages, carrying an aura of vastness, majesty, and immortality. 】

【 Across the four seas and eight wildernesses of the Cangyuan World, all descendants of the Dragon Clan Bloodline felt their hearts surge simultaneously. Some old Dragons of the Dragon Clan even opened their turbid eyes, their Dragon bodies trembling slightly: "It is the Dragon Ancestor... Dragon Ancestor Ao Qing is on the list!" 】

【 Ao Qing, one of the three great Dragon Ancestors of the Dragon Clan in the Cangyuan World, whose true form is the Primordial Azure Dragon, is skilled in the Law of Water, the Law of Life, and the Law of Time and Space. 】

【 His name is renowned like thunder in the ancient Legacies of the Cangyuan World, but few in the world know how he became an Immortal Dragon Ancestor who traverses the world. 】

【 Your thoughts stirred slightly, and the scene within the golden ranking light screen changed abruptly. 】

【 This time, it was no longer static text, but fragments of images spanning across eternal ages, unfolding like an epic. 】

【 The Desolate Era of hundreds of millions of years ago. 】

【 When Ao Qing hatched from his Dragon egg, he was not born divine, but was a "mixed-blood Dragon" who, despite being born in the Dragon Clan base, had a mottled Bloodline. 】

【 His azure scales were dull, and his Dragon horns had not yet grown. In the Dragon Clan's strictly hierarchical system, he could only coil in the "Hidden Dragon Abyss," the most remote part of the Dragon Clan territory, competing for food with low-level sea beasts every day. 】

【 But there was a fire in his heart; it was the unwillingness from the depths of his Bloodline. 】

【 Every night of the full moon, he would leap out of the sea, absorbing the moonlight to temper that trace of meager True Dragon blood within his body. 】

【 A hundred years, a thousand years... His scales gradually took on an azure-gold luster, and his Dragon horns began to sprout. He started stepping out of the Hidden Dragon Abyss, challenging stronger sea beasts, and even diving into deep-sea Secret Realms to search for the remains of ancient Dragon Clan members. 】

【 At thirty thousand years old, Ao Qing faced the most important hurdle in a Dragon Clan member's life — "Leaping the Dragon Gate." 】

【 That was a golden light gate that connected heaven and earth, an Immortal Artifact forged by the first Immortal Golden Immortal of the Dragon Clan. Leaping over the Dragon Gate could cleanse one's Bloodline and transform one into a True Dragon. 】

【 But on that day, several pure-blood Geniuses of the Dragon Clan joined forces to obstruct him, unwilling to let a "mixed-blood Dragon" stand on equal footing with them. 】

【 Before the Dragon Gate, Ao Qing fought nine True Dragons of the same generation alone, his Dragon blood staining millions of miles of sea area red. 】

【 In the end, he broke a horn and lost a claw, but with his battered body, he smashed through the Dragon Gate's Restriction and leaped over the Heavenly Gate, carrying the sky-full Lightning Tribulation with him. 】

【 At that moment, the winds and clouds changed color, and the Dragon roar of the Nine Heavens resounded throughout Cangyuan. His Bloodline completely transformed, his azure scales turned into crystal-clear Dragon crystals like glass, horns grew on his forehead, and his pressure dominated the four seas. 】

【 After leaping the Dragon Gate, Ao Qing did not stop. 】

【 He left the Dragon Clan base, traveled through the various Realms of Cangyuan, and finally, at the age of three hundred thousand, successfully passed the Immortal Heavenly Tribulation. 】

【 On that day, all Dragons in the Cangyuan World felt a connection simultaneously and bowed toward Ao Qing — the third Immortal Golden Immortal of the Dragon Clan was born. 】

【 The image faded, and text appeared on the golden ranking once again. 】

【 Dragon Clan, Ao Qing, Ranking: Tenth 】

【 Reward 1: Method to Breakthrough to Immortal Golden Immortal — "Chaos Origin-Drawing Chapter"! 】

【 Reward 2: Dragon Clan Divine Ability — "Chaos Dragon God Transformation"! 】

【 These two things were not derived by you yourself, but obtained from elsewhere. 】

【 In the Chaos Universe, there are quite a few experts and forces capable of traversing Chaos. These forces naturally possess methods on how to Breakthrough beyond the Immortal Golden Immortal. 】

【 After your Breakthrough to the Creation Realm, your perception is no longer limited to the Cangyuan World and its surrounding Chaos areas. 】

【 You can use the River of Time, Space, and Fate of the Chaos Universe to understand information within the Chaos Universe. 】

【 Therefore, you only spent a little time to complete the information you had previously explored using your other self regarding levels above the Immortal Golden Immortal. 】

【 In the entire Chaos Universe, while an Immortal Golden Immortal cannot be considered a small soldier, they are not really big shots either. 】

【 Only those above the Immortal Golden Immortal can be considered to have just stepped over the threshold of Chaos. This Realm is collectively referred to as the Chaos Realm. 】

【 The Chaos Realm is divided into three levels. Each level is a leap in the essence of life and is the true starting point on the path toward becoming a Chaos Dominator. 】

【 First level: Chaos True Saint Realm. 】

【 Those in this Realm have completely transcended the constraints of the Great Universe that nurtured them. Their Physical Body and Divine Soul have been baptized by the Origin of Chaos. They can traverse Chaos on their own and no longer rely on any Laws within a Universe to survive. 】

【 With every gesture, they can stir up Chaos Qi currents. A single strike can pierce through the boundaries of an ordinary Great Universe, and their combat power far exceeds that of an Immortal Golden Immortal. 】

【 Reaching this Realm can be considered truly jumping out of the "well," seeing the boundlessness of Chaos. 】

【 The Great Universe here refers to worlds like the Cangyuan World that can nurture more than ten Immortal Golden Immortals. 】

【 Some Great Universes with powerful foundations can even directly nurture Chaos True Saints. 】

【 Second level: Chaos Overlord Realm. 】

【 If a Chaos True Saint can take a further step and their understanding of Chaos reaches the "control" level, they can be called a Chaos Overlord. 】

【 Such existences often rule over a vast "territory" in Chaos, with hundreds or thousands of Great Universes like the Cangyuan World under their command. 】

【 They can casually create or destroy a Great Universe, refine their own unique "Chaos Dao Principles," and their power radiates across the entire Chaos Star Domain. They are powerful masters who dominate a region in Chaos, and it is hard for one to be born in ten trillion years. 】

【 Third level: Chaos Supreme Realm. 】

【 Comprehending the ultimate Laws of Chaos, with Dao Principles merged into themselves, they are impervious to all Daos and cannot be harmed by Chaos. They can stabilize the order of Chaos, rewrite the rules of Chaos, stand at the Peak of Chaos, and reign Supreme over endless Chaos eras. They are existences looked up to by countless Chaos experts. 】

【 The strength you possessed when you were at Legend Perfection was roughly at the Chaos True Saint Realm. 】

【 And when you had opened up worlds in all your cells before your Breakthrough to the Creation Realm, your strength barely reached the Chaos Overlord Realm. 】

【 However, after your Breakthrough to the Creation Realm and connecting with your other self in other Chaos Universes, your strength has increased several times over, and you are now roughly at the Peak of the Chaos Supreme Realm. 】

【 Above the Chaos Supreme, there is still the Realm of Chaos Controller. 】

【 Those in this Realm can completely control a complete Chaos Universe, formulate all rules from the Origin, and the birth and destruction of the Universe are within a single thought. 】

【 You are still some distance away from being a so-called Chaos Controller. 】

【 You speculate that at the very least, you need to wait until the essence of the heavens within your body reaches a level equivalent to a Chaos Universe before you can be considered to have reached the level of a Chaos Controller. 】

【 However, in this Chaos Universe where you are located, no such existence has been born to date. 】

【 You also learned of sporadic records of this Realm while in other Chaos Universes. 】

【 Therefore, this Chaos Universe is no different from your own backyard to you. 】

【 Many secrets that are considered taboo to ordinary people, and Breakthrough methods that countless experts dream of, are nothing more than taking something from your pocket for you; you can take them from wherever you want. 】
