208: Chapter 208 Sign-in! The Heart of the Demon God!

The Boundary Sea was clamorous, clearly divided into two distinct battlefields.

In the east, golden light and poisonous mist intertwined. With every strike of the violent staff shadows, the Lord of Plague’s exasperated roars and the earth’s wails followed. Sun Wukong had gone completely mad in battle, performing physical salvation to the extreme as he pursued and pummeled a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; the scene was exceptionally brutal.

In the center, a gray sword lotus bloomed quietly. Wherever it passed, all techniques withered; the Law of decay of all things was a joke before it. Within his own Domain, the Lord of Decay was suppressed and forced back step by step by Li Changsheng using a more Advanced Dao, experiencing what true despair felt like every second.

Atop the flagship, Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, taking everything in.

He watched the monkey leaping about, his fury fully transformed into Battle Intent, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. A rowdy monkey was just a rowdy monkey—simple-minded and physically gifted; the provocation tactic worked surprisingly well on him.

His gaze then turned to the figure in snow-white clothes slaying a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He was incredibly satisfied with this son's Heart-Nature and strength. When he remained still, he was calm, but once he moved, he was like a thunderbolt, planning everything perfectly. This tactic of killing the heart was very much to his liking.

The two newly ascended Grand Unity-level combatants had completely suppressed the two strongest Demonic Lords of Devils Island; victory was only a matter of time. Without the Demonic Lords' interference, the armies on the left and right flanks were even more unstoppable, the battle line advancing toward the island's interior at a visible speed.

From the very beginning, the scales of the entire war had completely tipped toward the Heavenly Court.

Li Xuan's gaze did not linger too long on these two intense battlefields.

His Grandmist Dao Pupils pierced through the layers of squirming flesh that looked like meridians, ignoring the Law barriers formed by gathered Devilish Qi and resentment, directly locking onto the deepest, most core part of this giant island.

There, he saw a heart that was still beating.

"The sons are responsible for cleaning the courtyard; it's time for the father to go get the real stuff."

A subtle curve appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, his voice soft as if talking to himself.

As his voice fell, he vanished from the bow of the ship, unnoticed by anyone, as if he had never appeared.

...

Deep beneath Devils Island.

This was a Domain even more evil and chaotic than the surface.

There was no direction, no space, only Chaos Devilish Qi and Laws of darkness as thick as substance. Lava-like black blood gathered into a surging underground river, where countless powerful resentful Souls roared and struggled silently.

Every inch of flesh here contained a terrifying power sufficient to instantly melt and assimilate a Golden Immortal.

In this forbidden zone of life, a figure strolled leisurely.

Li Xuan's figure shifted between reality and illusion.

He wasn't flying; it was more like he was taking a walk in his own backyard. With every step, a golden Dao pattern flashed beneath his feet, and his figure crossed an unknown number of miles.

The Devilish Qi that corroded all things was forcibly devoured and refined by an invisible force within three feet of his body, turning instead into the purest energy to nourish his Hongmeng Chaos Body.

He did not seem like an intruder, but a king returning home.

This island, formed from the remains of a Chaos Demon God, did not reject Li Xuan's more Advanced and pure Grandmist Chaos aura; instead, its residual Origin emitted an instinctive sense of... closeness and submission.

As if welcoming a supreme existence whose Bloodline rank was far higher than its own.

Li Xuan continued downward, the surrounding pressure increasing. That Chaos pressure from the ancient primordial era was enough to make an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal struggle to move and cause their Physical Body to crack.

But to him, it felt like returning to a mother's embrace, feeling only immense comfort and ease.

After an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up.

An indescribably massive underground cavity appeared before him.

In the center of the cavity, a heart as large as a mountain was suspended in mid-air, bound by countless thick chains of dark Law.

"Thump... Thump... Thump..."

The heart was still beating slowly.

Every beat was like the pulse of the entire island, emitting a dull, thunderous roar. Vast and pure Demon God power was continuously extracted through the black chains, sent to all parts of the island to maintain the operation of the war fortress and provide power to the three Demonic Lords.

This was the true core of Devils Island, the final life imprint of that fallen Chaos Demon God—the demon gods heart!

Li Xuan could feel the terrifying Origin power contained within this heart. Those three so-called island masters probably hadn't even developed one-ten-thousandth of its power, merely using it in the crudest way as an inexhaustible power bank.

What a waste of a god-given treasure!

Li Xuan took a step and instantly appeared before the massive demon gods heart.

Compared to the mountain-like heart, his figure was as tiny as a speck of dust.

However, when he appeared, the originally powerfully beating heart suddenly trembled, its rhythm becoming much more erratic, like a soldier seeing a king, feeling an absolute suppression originating from the level of life itself.

Li Xuan reached out and lightly pressed his hand against the heart wall, which was covered in a dark red cuticle.

It was cold and hard, yet contained explosive power.

[Ding!]

Just then, a long-awaited crisp System notification tone rang out in his mind!

[Detected that the host has arrived at a special sign-in location—the Chaos demon gods heart!]

[This is the place where the Chaos Demon God's Origin and will converge, containing Chaos Law fragments from the beginning of creation. The sign-in success rate is 100%! There is also a high probability of triggering a special critical strike reward!]

[Host, would you like to sign in immediately?]

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Li Xuan's face.

His true purpose for this trip was right here!

Compared to those scattered military merits, this was the greatest Treasure Trove that could cause a qualitative change in his strength!

"Sign in."

He silently recited these two words in his heart.

[Ding! Sign-in command confirmed!]

[Signing in at the Chaos demon gods heart...]

[Billion-fold critical strike reward triggered successfully!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, sign-in successful!]

Accompanied by the System's heavenly notification, two beams of extremely brilliant golden light condensed into form before Li Xuan!

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos Grade reward—[Chaos Demon God Origin Essence Blood] x3 drops!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Supreme Treasure Grade reward—[chaos bead (Fragment)] x1!]

It's done!

Li Xuan's breathing couldn't help but quicken for a moment.

He reached out and caught the two clusters of light in his palms.

The light dissipated, revealing the true forms of the two items.

In his left hand were three fist-sized drops of blood, as crystal clear as the most brilliant amethysts.

Inside each drop of blood, it seemed as if a Chaos galaxy was constantly being born, destroyed, and evolving. Countless Great Dao runes floated within, and a hint of extremely pure, overbearing Chaos Origin power emanated from them, causing the surrounding space to ripple as if it couldn't withstand its existence.

[Chaos Demon God Origin Essence Blood]: The essence of the power and Laws of a fallen Chaos Demon God. Each drop contains terrifying energy sufficient to let a Mortal instantly achieve Physical Body sanctification and Immortal Ascension! It can greatly temper the host's Hongmeng Chaos Body, complete the Origin, and take a key step for the host's Physical Body strength toward true immortality and indestructibility!

In his right hand was an unremarkable gray stone fragment, about the size of a palm.

The stone fragment had no luster or energy fluctuations, looking like a common stone picked up from the roadside.

But Li Xuan knew that this was the true supreme treasure!

Because, within his internal world, another identical fragment was vibrating violently like crazy, emitting bursts of longing hums!

[chaos bead (Fragment)]: One of the thirty-six fragments formed after the supreme treasure from before the creation of the world, the "chaos bead," was shattered. Legend has it that by collecting all the fragments, one can recreate this supreme existence that stands above all Innate Supreme Treasures, taking charge of Chaos and recreating the universe!

"Whew..."

Li Xuan let out a long breath, his eyes erupting with an unprecedentedly fervent light.

These three drops of Demon God essence blood alone would be enough to take the Hongmeng Chaos Body to another level, breaking through the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage barrier and reaching the Peak in one go!

Not to mention the second chaos bead fragment! If integrated into his internal world, the inner world would surely expand again, becoming more stable and real!

His Divine Thought now resonated with the supreme Hongmeng Chaos Body like never before!

His body and his Soul were cheering and longing!

Breakthrough!

Right now! Right here!

Li Xuan looked up, his gaze piercing through the demon gods heart and landing on the Dark Altar behind it, which was operating and continuously extracting the power of living beings, emitting an endless aura of evil.

A crazy and bold idea rose in his heart.

"With the blood of the Chaos Demon God as the guide, and your wicked altar as the fuel!"

"Today, I shall... make another Breakthrough here!"
