144: Chaos Origin

"System! Consume all evolution points! Deduce the Primordial Creation Scripture! Objective—break the limit! Open the Heavens!"

Lin Jingyu's will was like iron; the command was given in an instant!

Boom—!!!

An indescribable torrent, as if surging from the end of the endless river of time and space, instantly poured into Lin Jingyu's Sea of Consciousness and all his limbs!

Consuming 418,000 evolution points for deduction, it violently impacted the limit barrier of the Minor Achievement Peak of the Primordial Creation Scripture!

Time in the bone tower space seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the deep pit, the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed.

At the top of the altar, the lava Soul fire in the Demon Saint Skeleton's eye sockets flickered wildly, the Death Qi and abyssal demonic nature condensed at its broken arm became even more turbulent, and the dark-gold energy giant claw, which had dissipated by more than half, was re-condensing at a visible speed, its power even greater!

The Underworld Scorpion Bone Demon, nailed to the tower wall, and the heavily injured Bone Poison Crocodile also struggled, letting out fierce roars, preparing to pounce and kill!

They had all locked onto the tiny figure in the deep pit that made them feel threatened; the next strike would be a fatal blow!

However, just as that destructive energy was about to descend again—

Om!!!

An indescribable, grand will, as if from the very beginning of creation, suddenly erupted from the deep pit!

The smoke and dust were instantly wiped away as if by an invisible giant hand!

Lin Jingyu's figure reappeared!

He still stood in place, pale golden blood flowing from the torn wound on his right arm, but his entire aura had undergone an earth-shattering transformation!

The Chaos Qi Flow surging around him was no longer a violent grey, but had taken on a layer of hazy Primordial Violet Qi, as if containing the Origin of all things!

On his bulging, muscular body, countless tiny Chaos vortexes spun even more deeply and swiftly, each vortex like a nascent, miniature world pregnant with the great power of creation!

A grander, more primitive Concept, closer to the Origin of strength, descended like an awakened primordial divine demon!

The Primordial Chaos Divine Demon Manifestation behind him instantly solidified several times over!

The towering giant phantom, with eyes opening and closing, showed ceaseless visions of Chaos creation and destruction, and the opening of star rivers, as a substantial Rule of Strength pressure permeated the air!

The Primordial Creation Scripture—limit broken successfully! Stepped into the Major Achievement Realm!

"Roar!" The Demon Saint Skeleton's will sensed an unprecedented threat and let out an even more furious roar!

The newly condensed dark-gold giant claw, carrying the power of the death rule that froze space and annihilated vitality, tore through the Void Realm and fiercely clawed down!

At the same time, the heavily injured Bone Poison Crocodile and the Underworld Scorpion Bone Demon, having broken free from their bone tails, also let out their final roars, spewing out poisonous miasma and bone spike storms, attacking from both sides!

Facing this fatal encirclement, Lin Jingyu's eyes blazed with chaotic divine light, but a cold and domineering arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

"After breaking the limit, you... are just ants!"

He moved!

No dodging, no blocking! Only the purest, most violent offense!

"Scram!"

A Chaos Heaven-Opening Roar, containing the great power of the Primordial Creation Scripture after breaking its limit, exploded like a materialized sonic giant hammer!

Roar—!!!

Wherever the sound wave passed, space shattered inch by inch like a mirror!

The surging poisonous miasma and bone spike storm instantly melted and annihilated as if ice and snow encountering blazing sun!

Puff! Puff!

The massive bodies of the Bone Poison Crocodile and the Underworld Scorpion Bone Demon were crushed as if by an invisible giant mountain, their incredibly hard bones burst inch by inch, their eerie green Soul fires instantly extinguished, and their huge bone bodies collapsed, turning into two massive piles of bone dust!

[Ding! Slew the Dharma Aspect Realm Ninth Heaven Bone Poison Crocodile (Projection)! Gained evolution points: 90,000 points!]

[Ding! Slew the Dharma Manifestation Realm Eighth Heaven Underworld Scorpion Bone Demon (Projection)! Gained evolution points: 80,000 points!]

And that dark-gold giant claw, containing the rule of death, also violently vibrated under the impact of the Chaos Heaven-Opening Roar's sound wave, its surface demonic patterns flickering erratically, and its descent speed momentarily stalled!

In this one ten-thousandth of a second of stagnation!

Lin Jingyu's figure vanished!

It wasn't teleportation, but pure speed pushed to the extreme!

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he transformed into a primordial violet lightning tearing through the Void Realm, ignoring spatial distance, instantly appearing beneath the descending dark-gold giant claw!

"Shatter for me!"

He clenched his right fist, Primordial Violet Qi entwined around it, and the power of the Major Achievement Primordial Creation Scripture perfectly fused with the fragment of the rule of strength!

Upon his fist, it was as if a nascent chaotic world was being opened! He fiercely punched upwards!

This punch was no longer a clash, but an absolute crushing (overwhelming)! (Translator's Note: ' crushing' is a strong term for 'crushing' or 'overwhelming dominance')

Fist and claw collided again!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely dull, shattering sound!

Crack! Crackle—!

That dark-gold energy giant claw, capable of threatening Domain Realm powerhouses, instantly, upon contact with the fist, shattered like glass encountering its nemesis, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading from the point of impact across the entire claw!

Then, it exploded!

The dark-gold Devilish Qi and Death Qi, like ignited oil, rapidly melted and annihilated under the cleansing of the Primordial Violet Qi!

The residual power of the fist print, transforming into an extremely condensed Primordial light pillar, surged upwards, fiercely striking the broken bone of the massive Demon Saint Skeleton's right arm at the top of the altar!

"Aooo—!!!"

A shrill roar, painful enough to twist the Soul, echoed through the bone tower space!

The broken arm of the Demon Saint Skeleton, where a new claw was forming, was violently blasted with a huge gap by the Primordial fist print!

Countless dark-gold bone fragments mixed with lava-like black blood splattered everywhere!

The lava Soul fire in its eye sockets flickered wildly, and its aura instantly weakened significantly!

Its condensed projection power was shattered by a single punch!

[Ding! Severely damaged the Ancient Demon Saint Skeleton Projection (containing Domain Realm First Heaven power), gained evolution points: 200,000 points!]

Lin Jingyu, having succeeded with one punch, did not stop!

His gaze, like lightning, instantly locked onto the core of the altar—at the center of countless winding vertebrae, a point of extremely heavy, greyish light was fiercely flashing!

It was precisely the chaos origin stone he had sensed earlier!

At this moment, as the Demon Saint Skeleton projection was injured, a slight loosening appeared in the bone Seal enveloping the Origin stone!

"Now's the time!"

Lin Jingyu stepped on the Void Realm, Primordial Violet Qi exploded, and his figure once again turned into a flash of lightning, rushing straight towards the core of the altar!

His speed was so fast that it left streaks of afterimages in place!

"ant! How dare you covet the sacred object!"

The Demon Saint Skeleton was enraged to the extreme, its remaining will frantically activating the power of the entire bone tower!

The dark red energy flowing through countless bone crevices in the tower wall surged like a boiling river of blood, rapidly converging to form an incredibly thick bone giant shield inscribed with countless death runes in front of the altar!

At the same time, a stronger abyssal demonic nature permeated from the depths of the skeleton, attempting to re-stabilize the Seal!

"Those who block me die!"

Lin Jingyu's eyes burned with killing intent. Facing the ominous bone giant shield, the muscles in his arms instantly swelled like ancient Dragon elephants, and Primordial Violet Qi gathered in both fists!

"Annihilation Divine Fist!"

Both fists struck out simultaneously! Like two chaotic divine hammers opening the heavens, they fiercely smashed into the center of the bone giant shield with an absolute will to annihilate all Dao!

Rumble—!!!!

The bone giant shield shattered instantly!

Countless death runes were annihilated in an instant! Amidst the violent energy turbulence, Lin Jingyu's figure, like a warship breaking through waves, bravely passed through!

His five fingers formed a claw, Primordial Violet Qi swirling, carrying the power to tear through all obstacles, and fiercely grabbed at the core bones of the altar where the greyish light point was located!

"Come out for me!"

Rip—!!!

The giant vertebrae, harder than divine gold, were forcibly torn and crushed like rotten wood under his five fingers!

Amidst flying shattered stones and bone fragments, a heavy Origin stone the size of a millstone, entirely chaotic grey, with profound and unfathomable Rule of Strength patterns flowing on its surface, was forcibly dug out from the core of the altar by him!

chaos origin stone! Acquired!

Buzz!

The moment the Origin stone entered his hand, a sense of primordial power, so heavy it felt like it could crush all worlds, surged, causing Lin Jingyu's arm to sink!

At the same time, the fragmented claw of the sovereign and the bone yama demon core in his embrace erupted with unprecedented greed and restlessness, almost bursting out of his body to pounce on the Origin stone!

"Hmph!" Lin Jingyu furiously circulated the power of Primordial Creation, forcibly suppressing the restlessness within his body, while also issuing a command to the System:

"System! Immediately refine this chaos origin stone! Objective—extract the core fragment of the rule of strength, strengthen the Primordial Creation Scripture!"

[Command confirmed! Beginning to absorb and refine the chaos origin stone (containing the core fragment of the rule of strength)!]

[Refining... Rule of Strength fragment stripped... fusing into the Primordial Creation Scripture... deducing Fusion...]

[Infusion begins!]

Boom—!!!

The chaos origin stone erupted with dazzling grey divine light!

A torrent of Rule of Strength Origin, far purer and more vast than the one absorbed from the bone mountain before, surged into Lin Jingyu's body like the Nine Heavens' star river pouring down!

"Ugh ah!"

Even with Lin Jingyu's powerful physique, he couldn't help but let out a low roar!

The Primordial Violet Qi around him surged and roared at an unprecedented speed!

His muscles, bones, and internal organs rumbled like thunder!

Beneath his skin, those microscopic Chaos vortexes expanded and spun wildly, and the scenes of creation within them became even clearer!

A deeper understanding, closer to the essence of strength, was branded into the depths of his Soul!

His aura, once again, soared crazily like a rocket!

The Realm barrier of the Dharma Aspect Eighth Heaven trembled precariously under the impact of this primordial power!

At the top of the altar, the heavily injured Demon Saint Skeleton projection, sensing the loss of the chaos origin stone, let out a desperate and furious roar:

"No—!!! That is the key to my Lord's revival!! ant! You deserve to die! Die!!!"

The entire thousand-zhang bone tower violently trembled with its roar! The Death Qi at the top of the tower rolled back down!

Within the bone tower space, countless bones wailed, and an ancient will, a hundred times more terrifying than the projection and containing true Domain Realm pressure, was slowly awakening from the deepest part of the skeleton!

The dark red energy on the tower walls flowed backward like blood, frantically pouring into the main body of the Demon Saint Skeleton!

"Brother Lin! Get out quickly! That thing is about to fully awaken!!"

Qin Shanhe's anxious roar came from outside the tower, carrying unconcealed horror!

Feeling the aura permeating from inside the tower made his Dharma Aspect Eighth Heaven Soul tremble!

[System Panel]

[host]: Lin Jingyu

[Realm]: Eighth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm (Peak) (Primordial Chaos Body! On the verge of Breakthrough!) [Soaring!]

Lin Jingyu felt the surging violent power and rapidly rising Realm within him, then heard Qin Shanhe's warning from outside the tower, and the terrifying aura inside the tower, like an ancient beast awakening. There was no panic in his eyes, only even more blazing Battle Intent and cold killing intent!

"Revival? Perfect to test my post-limit-break power on you!"

While furiously absorbing the Origin stone's power, he coldly looked at the dark-gold skeleton at the top of the altar, whose aura was growing increasingly terrifying.

He clearly felt that as the Origin stone was taken, the will awakening deep within the skeleton, carrying monstrous resentment, had completely locked onto him!

The true Demon Saint was about to descend! And his fists were already itching for a fight!
