54: The primordial energy is unified!

“Roar—!!!”

Lin Jingyu, wrapped in Chaos Qi Flow, roared towards the sky, the sound wave like the first thunderclap that split heaven and earth!

The gray Qi Flow surrounding him exploded, no longer conflicting, but completely fusing, transforming into a Chaos power that encompassed all things and dissolved all techniques!

This power was ancient and vast, seemingly capable of evolving myriad things, or returning them to Chaos!

[Ding! Cultivation Technique evolution successful!]

[Primordial Unity Qi Art (Minor Achievement) → Chaos Heaven Opening Art (Initial Glimpse)!]

[Chaos Heaven Opening Art]: Chaos first opened, myriad laws returned to the source! The Physical Body is like a furnace, refining all Qi! Power, defense, and recovery undergo a complete qualitative change! Contains the nascent form of Chaos rules!

[Realm Breakthrough: Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Layer → Marrow Cleansing Realm Third Layer!]

[Remaining evolution points: 58,750!]

The cold System notification accompanied the frantic surge of power within his body!

Lin Jingyu's muscles, bones, internal organs, and even every drop of blood were undergoing earth-shattering transformation under the scouring of the Chaos power!

His strength instantly climbed from five million jin to nearly ten million jin! The dark golden color on his body surface deepened, faintly showing the flow of Chaos Qi Flow!

"Impossible! He actually fused the power of the Netherworld and Ziyang?!" Venerable Lieyang's eyes were splitting with rage, his heart filled with extreme terror! He had never seen such bizarre and domineering power! That gray Qi Flow made his Soul tremble!

"Stop pretending! Die!" Elder Chihuo was the first to succumb to fear. He shouted, forming hand seals. A massive sword burning with purple flames that scorched the heavens instantly condensed, tearing the air and slashing fiercely towards Lin Jingyu's head with the might to incinerate Divine Souls! "Ziyang Demon Slaying Sword!"

Facing this heaven-scorching sword, the Chaos light in Lin Jingyu's eyes swirled.

He didn't even look at it directly.

He simply raised his right index finger.

A wisp of gray Chaos Qi Flow wrapped around the fingertip.

He lightly tapped it against the descending purple sword that scorched the heavens.

"Sky-Piercing Finger: Chaos Change!"

"Pop!"

A soft sound, like a bubble being pricked.

The moment the tip of the imposing purple flame giant sword touched the Chaos fingertip, it melted like ice and snow!

There was no explosion, no collision!

The heaven-scorching purple flames instantly extinguished, and the pure Ziyang True Essence was swallowed, decomposed, and turned into the most primitive energy by the Chaos Qi Flow to replenish himself!

The giant sword began to annihilate inch by inch from the tip, silently dissipating into the air!

"Pfft!" Elder Chihuo was struck by lightning. His Spell, which was connected to his mind and True Essence, was broken, causing instant heavy injury. He spat out blood, his eyes filled only with boundless fear! "My Demon Slaying Sword... was... eaten?!"

"Attack together!" Elder Xuanyan was utterly terrified, losing all hope of luck!

He fiercely conjured an ancient bronze mirror. The mirror surface shot out purple light, transforming into a highly condensed beam of destruction that shot straight towards Lin Jingyu's heart! "Ziyang Destruction Mirror! Destroy!"

Venerable Lieyang also went completely mad. He knew today was a battle to the death! He bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the Magical Sword in his hand!

The Magical Sword instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang purple-gold Fire Dragon. The Dragon's roar shook the heavens, and it lunged at Lin Jingyu with terrifying pressure capable of incinerating the eight wastes! "Lieyang World Burner! Dragon's Wrath!"

One mirror! One Dragon! They sealed off all of Lin Jingyu's retreat paths! This was the desperate, life-risking strike of two Divine Treasury Realm experts!

Lin Jingyu curled his lips into a cold arc.

"Chaos... Open!"

He spread his arms, as if embracing heaven and earth! The Chaos Heaven Opening Art within him roared into operation!

Boom—!!!

The vast and boundless Chaos Qi Flow, centered on him, erupted like a breached Chaos sea! Instantly sweeping across a thousand zhang!

The condensed destructive purple light shot into the Chaos Qi Flow, like a clay ox plunging into the sea, only stirring up a slight ripple before being swallowed, decomposed, and turned into a part of the Chaos!

The hundred-zhang purple-gold Fire Dragon roared as it rushed into the Chaos Domain. Its terrifying Dragon flames instantly extinguished, and its massive Dragon body seemed to sink into a boundless mire, its speed plummeting, emitting painful wails! The pure Ziyang True Essence that formed the Dragon's body was frantically stripped and devoured by the Chaos Qi Flow!

"No! My World Burning Dragon!" Venerable Lieyang was horrified and desperately urged his Spell incantation, but he felt the connection with the Fire Dragon rapidly weakening!

Elder Xuanyan's Destruction Mirror dimmed, and a crack appeared on the mirror surface with a "crack" sound!

"It should end now." Lin Jingyu's icy voice echoed within the Chaos Qi Flow.

His figure moved, activating the Movement Technique!

Spatial ripples spread. Ignoring the purple-gold Fire Dragon trapped in the Chaos Domain, he instantly appeared before Elder Chihuo, whose mind had suffered heavy damage!

"The first one."

He spread his five fingers. Chaos Qi Flow wrapped around his palm, covering it like a layer of Chaos divine iron. He gently slapped it against the purple flame protective barrier that Elder Chihuo had hastily erected!

"Pfft!"

The purple flame barrier shattered like paper!

Elder Chihuo didn't even have time to scream before his entire upper body was struck by the Chaos palm!

"Bang!"

It was as if he had been ground by an invisible millstone!

Flesh, bones, and Divine Soul instantly decomposed and annihilated under the erosion of Chaos power!

They were turned into the most primitive essence Qi and absorbed by the Chaos Qi Flow surrounding Lin Jingyu's body!

[Ding! Killed "Elder Chihuo (Divine Treasury First Layer)," gained evolution points: 15,000 points!]

[Current evolution points: 58,750 + 15,000 = 73,750 points!]

"Chihuo!" Elder Xuanyan shrieked mournfully, scared out of his wits! He violently crushed a Jade Talisman, and his figure transformed into a purple rainbow, fleeing desperately towards the distance regardless of everything!

Sect missions, Elder dignity—all were nonsense in the face of death!

"Flee?" Lin Jingyu's gaze was indifferent. He took a step!

Movement Technique! Spatial displacement!

His figure appeared like a phantom directly in front of Elder Xuanyan's escape path, as if he had been waiting there all along!

"The second one."

He clenched his right fist, Chaos Qi Flow wrapped around it. Without any fancy moves, he punched towards the back of the desperately fleeing Elder Xuanyan!

"Chaos Heaven Opening Fist!"

Where the punch passed, space distorted!

A gray fist imprint, carrying the terrifying will to split heaven and earth and return to Chaos, instantly struck Elder Xuanyan's back!

"Boom!"

The protective light barrier and several defensive Magical Artifacts that Elder Xuanyan had hastily condensed shattered like paper!

His body suddenly stiffened!

The look of terror on his face froze.

The next moment—

"Bang!"

His entire body exploded from the inside out! Flesh and bone were completely decomposed and annihilated by the Chaos fist imprint, becoming part of the boundless Chaos Qi Flow! Not even a speck of residue remained!

[Ding! Killed "Elder Xuanyan (Divine Treasury First Layer)," gained evolution points: 15,000 points!]

[Current evolution points: 73,750 + 15,000 = 88,750 points!]

"Ah—!! Evil spawn!!" Venerable Lieyang watched helplessly as the two Elders were instantly killed, body and Soul destroyed, and went completely mad! His eyes were bloodshot. He violently detonated the purple-gold Fire Dragon, which was trapped in the Chaos Domain and had become illusory!

"Rumble!!!"

The self-detonation of the Natal True Essence of a Divine Treasury Third Layer expert! The power shook heaven and earth! The violent purple-gold energy storm instantly tore apart a portion of the Chaos Domain, swallowing Lin Jingyu's figure!

From the smoke and energy turbulence, a figure wrapped in Chaos Qi Flow slowly walked out.

The Chaos Qi Flow surrounding Lin Jingyu fluctuated violently but remained stable! A trace of blood spilled from his lips, but his eyes were even colder and sharper! He withstood the Divine Treasury Third Layer self-detonation, suffering only minor injuries!

"It's your turn, old dog." Lin Jingyu's gaze penetrated the chaotic energy, locking onto Venerable Lieyang, whose Aura was weak and face pale in the distance.

Venerable Lieyang looked at the demonic figure walking out of the explosion center, and the last shred of hope in his heart was completely shattered! Fear coiled around his Divine Soul like a cold viper!

Flee!

Must flee!

He violently crushed a crimson gold token—a life-saving item bestowed by the Ziyang Sect Master!

"Little beast! The Ziyang Sect will never rest until you are dead!!" He roared venomously. The token burst out with dazzling golden light, instantly enveloping him, ready to tear space and flee!

"Trying to leave?"

The Chaos light in Lin Jingyu's eyes flared!

He took a deep breath, and the Chaos Heaven Opening Art within him operated to the extreme! The surrounding Chaos Qi Flow frantically gathered onto his right fist, faintly forming a miniature Chaos nebula!

"Chaos Heaven Opening Fist: Shattering Realm!"

He punched out!

Silence!

A gray fist imprint, seemingly traversing the distance of space, arrived first and smashed fiercely onto the golden light that was about to escape into the spatial rift!

"Crack—Boom!!!"

Like the crisp sound of shattering glass!

The protective golden light formed by the crimson gold token, along with the spatial passage inside, shattered like fragile glazed tile under Lin Jingyu's punch containing the nascent form of Chaos rules!

"Puh ah—!" Venerable Lieyang let out a desperate, mournful shriek. His body fell out of the shattered spatial turbulence like a broken rag doll, covered in blood, his Aura extremely weak! His life-saving trump card was blown apart by a single punch!

Lin Jingyu took a step, appearing before him as if teleporting.

Looking down, his right fist, wrapped in Chaos Qi Flow and carrying the will to end everything, smashed fiercely towards Venerable Lieyang's head!

"No—!!" Venerable Lieyang's eyes held only boundless fear and despair!

"Bang!!!"

Like a bursting watermelon!

Red and white matter splashed, mixing with the Chaos Qi Flow!

Venerable Lieyang, the Inner Sect Enforcement Elder of the Ziyang Sect and a Divine Treasury Third Layer Peak expert, perished!

[Ding! Killed "Venerable Lieyang (Divine Treasury Third Layer Peak)," gained evolution points: 35,000 points!]

[Current evolution points: 88,750 + 35,000 = 123,750 points!]

[Ding! Obtained item: "Ziyang Sect Elder Token (Fragment)" x1, "Lieyang Magical Sword (High Grade Spiritual Artifact)" x1!]

Lin Jingyu withdrew his fist, and the Chaos Qi Flow around his body slowly receded. He surveyed the chaotic, apocalyptic battlefield, feeling the surging power within him and the astonishing 123,750 evolution points on the System panel.

In the distant sky, several Divine Senses of varying strengths cautiously swept over the area with shock and fear, then quickly retreated like startled rabbits.

Lin Jingyu looked up towards the Prefecture, a cold arc forming on his lips.

"Ziyang Sect? Never rest until I'm dead?"

"Perfect."

He took a step, and his figure merged into the spatial ripples, disappearing.

Leaving behind only the collapsed mountain range and the terrifying legend that shook the entire Prefecture.
