233: Chapter 233 Black Hole Devouring Spirits - Chaos Refining Souls

"Who on earth is it?!"

Zeus, Odin, and Jesus's side gritted their teeth: It must be a dirty trick played by the Honghuang orthodox side!

The methods were utterly despicable!

Yet, they had to admit—it was terrifyingly powerful!

A single move had sealed off all paths of retreat, pinning them directly in the center of the chaos, with the intention of erasing them completely and returning them to nothingness!

Meanwhile, the Honghuang orthodox side was convinced that the Nine Heavens Demon Gods were cornered and desperate, attempting to drag everyone down with them!

Consequently, their fury intensified, and their murderous intent soared to the skies!

The great battle erupted once more, more brutal and ruthless than before!

Amidst the curses, every strike was fatal, leaving no room for mercy, seeking only to draw blood and slit throats!

Rumble—!!!

Roars shattered the void, and the light of battle tore through the darkness.

Within the star domain, the slaughter continued ceaselessly; Great Venerables fell one after another, their corpses raining down like a downpour.

Just as both sides were locked in a desperate struggle—

The black hole suddenly exerted its power, generating a strange suction force that forcibly dragged everyone inside!

That was a forbidden zone capable of swallowing the starry sky and crushing stars!

Saints are immortal? Here, that is merely the prelude to being reduced to ashes!

Any expert near the core of the chaos, once pulled into the black hole, would vanish instantly without a trace, not even leaving a single mark behind!

Terrifying! Truly terrifying!

What was worse, the chaos energy was now in complete turmoil, transforming into a monstrous vortex that surged from all directions, like a tsunami engulfing a lonely boat!

"Husband, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Nuwa chuckled softly, the final essence of the World Tree in her hands having already been refined.

She radiated divine light, her lifespan nearly Eternal, her eyes sparkling with joy and tenderness.

Houtu was the same, controlling the essence of the stars of the heavens, her fortune overwhelming, smiling radiantly.

The Chaos Wuji Star had long since fallen into the palm of Jiang Chen.

All of this was a trap he had set from the beginning.

It is lonely at the top.

When his strength reached the pinnacle of the Honghuang, the first thing he wanted to do—

—was to lure everyone into his trap and send them all back to nothingness.

The Wuji Star, brilliant as an eye of the Eternal, burned and shone of its own accord, containing vitality, like a beating heart in the depths of the chaos.

It lay dormant at the core of nothingness, concealing the heavenly secrets; once controlled, no one could ever track its location again.

"Rest assured, we have long since retreated behind the scenes."

"The Honghuang of today is far too chaotic."

"With experts everywhere and the good mixed with the bad, it is time to clear the board—I want to return everything to chaos!"

Jiang Chen smiled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes; his tone was understated, yet it seemed as if the thunder of ages was growling within it.

"This… husband, these methods of yours…" Nuwa was stunned, her heart trembling violently, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.

Houtu chuckled, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes: "However… you wouldn't really unleash the Zombie Army upon the Three Realms, would you?"

"Zombies?"

Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his voice piercing through time and space: "My will is Eternal; I have long since transcended beyond the Three Realms and am not within the Five Elements. I can be all things, and all things can be me."

These words were no lie. At this moment, he held the chaos in his grasp, ruling over the star-filled myriad worlds; every gesture he made dictated the birth and death of the universe.

"Heh, then I can rest easy." Houtu smiled, though she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief—she had genuinely feared that the undead legion might descend directly upon them.

"The chaos engulfment has begun, and the refining is underway." Jiang Chen looked down at the vast expanse, "But I have left a glimmer of hope."

"After all, the Honghuang still needs to pass on its legacy."

"Once the engulfment is complete, I will use chaos as a furnace to reshape the universe and recreate the heavens and earth!"

He sat upright at the peak of the Wuji Star, imposing like a primordial deity, declaring his will.

Nuwa and Houtu looked up in silence; where their gazes fell, only awe and shock intertwined like a river.

The Wuji Star stood at the center of the chaos, uncorroded, instead refining chaos energy for its own use; it was, by nature, an immortal entity.

Jiang Chen stood atop the star, sensing the chaos transforming from void to reality, perceiving the flow of stellar elements and the operation of energy pathways; in an instant, everything was under his control.

"Black Hole Swallows Heaven!"

"Light Rift—open! You have half a month; whoever can comprehend the heavenly secrets and step out through the light shall be spared by fate!"

He wanted to slaughter the Nine Heavens Demon Gods, destroy the Honghuang Supremes, and cause all paths to return to chaos.

Yet, he also left behind a glimmer of light—a chance at survival, a sliver of hope.

"Whoosh—Boom!!!"

The black hole opened its massive maw, and its engulfing power swept across the heavens. Gods and demons roared, experts struggled, but they were swept into the abyss like dust.

Moreover, these people were still slaughtering each other, locked in endless infighting…

A single moment of distraction, and they were trapped by the chaos.

Tens of thousands of gods and legions were completely annihilated within ten days.

Once they fell into the black hole and were calcined by the chaos energy, whether they were Saints or Zeus, who claimed to be the master of the universe, all were reduced to pure energy, their forms and spirits dissipated.

"Heavens… too terrifying!" Nuwa stood on the Wuji Star, witnessing everything, her whole body turning cold.

If she were caught in the middle of it, she would surely die!

Houtu felt the same, praying silently in her heart that the person she cared about could see that glimmer of light and escape through the rift.

…

"Lord! I, Jesus, shall retreat into the future, hiding within human civilization, waiting for the time to rise again!"

No one expected that the first to break the deadlock would be Jesus.

He took several people with him, leaping abruptly into the light rift, instantly vanishing outside the chaos.

Christ had fled!

Immediately after, the Three Pure Ones appeared, a flash of inspiration striking them, and they followed the path of survival.

Jieyin, Zhunti, Fuxi, and others followed closely behind, comprehending the heavenly secrets in the split second between life and death, using the light to escape.

After all, they were of Saint-level talent, or perhaps protected by merits, with keen intuition—seeing Jesus disappear, they immediately sensed the anomaly and decisively broke through.

The Honghuang Supremes escaped one after another, and Nuwa and Houtu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

They had the protection of fortune, able to find a path to survival in a desperate situation, and were ultimately spared.

The rest… could only wail.

"I do not accept this!!"

"Heaven and earth are unjust!!"

"Heavens—!!!"

Countless roars tore through the void, yet they still could not stop the torrent of fate.

The remaining gods and Great Venerables all fell into the black hole, completely annihilated, not even leaving behind ash.

In the process of swallowing and refining those existences,

Jiang Chen's control over the chaos became increasingly adept, like moving his own arm.

Trapping, swallowing, smelting, evolving—

These were the most primordial powers of chaos.

Starting from a single chaos bead, stepping through nothingness step by step, until touching the source of chaos, and finally holding it in his palm.

Transforming from a zombie body into a Wuji body,

he finally understood that only now had he truly found the meaning of his existence.

"Swallow!"

"Continue to swallow!"

"Swallow them to death!"

Sitting cross-legged at the highest peak of the Wuji Star, Jiang Chen looked down with cold eyes.

The black hole opened its massive maw, swallowing former enemies, potential rivals,

and even old acquaintances and future allies—all of them.

The clamor returned to deathly silence, an Eternal sinking.

Those Great Venerables who once dominated the heavens and earth were now nothing more than nutrients, reduced to a glimmer of light within the torrent of energy.

He suddenly understood.

This was the true law of the universe; chaos should be this way.

Since he already held the chaos, he should use chaos to reshape everything.

Starting from chaos, recreating the Honghuang, who would dare to be my enemy?

"The Heavenly Dao?"

His heart jolted violently.

At the moment he looked up, he saw a seven-colored rainbow stretching across the sky above the Wuji Star—

The Heavenly Dao was manifesting!

This was the residual Heavenly Dao that the chaos had not yet finished evolving or dissipating,

or perhaps fragments of order remaining in the human world—

the power of the Heavenly Dao that had once been comprehended and cultivated by tens of thousands of gods, Honghuang Saints, and various Great Venerables.

Now, with their fall and refinement, it was finally released once again.

Once, he had fought the Heavenly Dao to the death, swearing never to be a slave.

Now, the Heavenly Dao was within reach, ready to be taken.

He wanted to—swallow it all in one gulp!

By fusing all the Heavenly Dao, he would become the Heavenly Dao itself!

"Inhale—!"

He roared at the sky, opened his mouth wide, and the heavens and earth rolled backward.
