381: Chapter 381 Chaos Supreme Realm

Three days later, sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting a dazzling radiance upon the mysterious glazed tiles of the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

Cao Yang sat leisurely in the palace corridor, holding a cup of fragrant tea, savoring its aroma.

Suddenly, he sensed a faint fluctuation of Qi coming from behind him.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he thought, "It must be Fellow Daoist Lan Xin coming out."

Sure enough, when he turned to look, he saw Jinwu Lanxin walking out of the room. Her steps were light, as if she had merged with the surrounding Chaos Qi.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, the Chaos Power in your body has fully recovered! That was fast!" Cao Yang exclaimed. His gaze fell upon Jinwu Lanxin, seeing her rosy complexion and steady breathing; she had clearly made a full recovery.

Jinwu Lanxin smiled slightly and said, "It is all thanks to your care, Fellow Daoist Cao Yang, that I was able to recover so quickly."

Cao Yang waved his hand and laughed, "Not at all, it is because your own strength is formidable, Fellow Daoist Lan Xin."

He secretly marveled at how astonishingly fast Jinwu Lanxin's recovery was.

One must know, after suffering such severe injuries, an ordinary person would likely need months or even years to return to such a state.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, this recovery speed of yours truly opened my eyes!" Cao Yang praised. "I previously thought you would need much longer to recover."

Jinwu Lanxin smiled modestly and said, "Fellow Daoist Cao Yang, you flatter me. I merely borrowed the mysterious power here."

However, Cao Yang did not think so. He felt that Jinwu Lanxin's rapid recovery was by no means solely due to these powers.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, with your recovery speed, I suspect your strength must far exceed the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm, right?" Cao Yang asked tentatively.

Jinwu Lanxin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Cao Yang, my strength is indeed higher than you imagine. However, as for exactly how high, it is hard for me to say."

Cao Yang's heart tightened. He realized that Jinwu Lanxin's strength had likely reached a truly terrifying level.

He couldn't help but recall his previous underestimation of Jinwu Lanxin's strength; it seemed he had been far too rash back then.

"Could it be the Elementary Chaos Supreme Realm?" Cao Yang thought to himself. Although he knew this guess might not be accurate, he felt it was somewhat possible, as she was a Chaos Golden Crow after all.

The Chaos Supreme Realm was already a top-tier existence in this Chaos World, and the Elementary Chaos Supreme Realm was rarely seen among them.

However, even if it were only the Elementary Chaos Supreme Realm, it would already be sufficiently powerful and Heaven-Defying.

Cao Yang couldn't help but admire Jinwu Lanxin's strength while also looking forward to her future.

"You look even more beautiful than before," Cao Yang said softly, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Jinwu Lanxin's face turned slightly red. Shyly, she changed the subject, "Well, thank you for these past few days, you lecher."

Her voice was slightly awkward; she seemed unaccustomed to expressing gratitude so directly.

Seeing this, the smile at the corners of Cao Yang's mouth became even more pronounced. He teased deliberately, "Your way of thanking me is truly unique. Why do I feel like there's more to your words?"

Jinwu Lanxin's face turned even redder. She glared at Cao Yang and scolded coquettishly, "Don't let your imagination run wild; I'm just stating the facts."

Cao Yang smiled slightly and continued, "Compared to the powerhouses in the Chaos, my Dao Companions shouldn't be considered many, right? Only about a hundred or so."

Jinwu Lanxin curled her lips upon hearing this and retorted, "Hmph, not many? Most powerhouses in the Chaos are single. I haven't even seen a Chaos Realm Cultivator with more than three Dao Companions."

Cao Yang listened, revealing a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile, "Alright, it seems I know too little about the powerhouses in the Chaos."

Cao Yang nodded and gestured to Jinwu Lanxin, "Don't just stand there, come over and taste the tea. This is top-quality Chaos tea; I don't have much of it either."

Jinwu Lanxin nodded slightly with a smile, then walked lightly to the opposite side of Cao Yang and sat down gracefully.

Cao Yang enthusiastically picked up the teapot, poured a cup of Chaos tea for Jinwu Lanxin, and gently pushed the cup in front of her, smiling as he said, "Come, try this cup of tea. I brewed it myself."

The corners of Jinwu Lanxin's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. She carefully picked up the teacup and took a light sip.

However, the moment the tea slid down her throat, her brows furrowed slightly, and she shook her head gently.

"Hmm... this tea, it doesn't seem that outstanding," Jinwu Lanxin said frankly. "Although I'm not very proficient in tea tasting, my grandfather is a tea enthusiast, and the tea he usually drinks is much better than this."

Cao Yang listened without appearing embarrassed or displeased. He smiled and explained, "Haha, you're right. Your Family has been rooted in the Chaos for a long time, so naturally, you would have higher-quality assets. Although this tea of mine is considered the lowest grade in the Chaos, I spent quite a bit of time and effort to find it."

Cao Yang picked up his own teacup, took a sip, and felt the warm tea aroma spreading in his mouth.

He slowly put down the cup and continued, "Since Fellow Daoist Lan Xin has such good tea in your clan, would it be possible to bring me there to visit for a few days? I would also like to ask your grandfather for a few cups of such fine tea to taste."

Jinwu Lanxin smiled slightly, revealing a crafty look, and said, "It is possible, but my grandfather is a powerhouse in the High-level Chaos Supreme Realm. His strength can even allow him to trade a few blows with powerhouses in the Chaos Emperor Realm. My grandfather has always admired the strong; it just depends on whether you have the ability to get tea leaves from him."

Hearing Jinwu Lanxin's words, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Heh heh, it seems Fellow Daoist Lan Xin's injuries haven't fully recovered yet! Have you forgotten that I am the one who possesses the Invincible Domain? Never mind your grandfather, even if your clan's Old Ancestor stood in front of me, he would absolutely not be able to take a single move of mine."

Cao Yang's words revealed a powerful confidence, as if he had absolute certainty in his own strength.

He paused and continued, "Moreover, my own strength is also quite formidable. Although my Realm is only at the Chaos Domain Lord Realm, my strength is an invincible existence within the Chaos Supreme Realm. Of course, this is without using the Invincible Domain."

"How is this possible? Your Aptitude is clearly average, not even as good as mine; how could your strength be so powerful? You must have borrowed some ability from that Invincible Domain of yours that I don't know about." Jinwu Lanxin looked at Cao Yang with full suspicion.

She really couldn't understand; Cao Yang's Aptitude was clearly inferior to her own, yet his strength was so powerful. There must be some reason for this. Could it really be as she guessed, because of that so-called Invincible Domain?

Various thoughts flashed through Jinwu Lanxin's mind, but she still couldn't believe this fact. After all, in her cognition, the improvement of strength should be gradual, not like Cao Yang, suddenly becoming so powerful.

However, when she recalled that when her Chaos Power was exhausted earlier, Cao Yang had said his strength was in the Chaos Supreme Realm, and he even mentioned that he didn't dare to easily explore those mysterious Forbidden Grounds.

At that time, she only thought Cao Yang was mocking her for overestimating her own abilities and didn't take those words to heart at all.

But now it seemed that Cao Yang didn't seem to be joking, but that it was actually true. This made Jinwu Lanxin feel very shocked, and at the same time, she developed a trace of awe for Cao Yang's strength.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Lan Xin still underestimates me, Cao. Do you think that my Aptitude is mediocre, and I only rely on the power of treasures to be stronger than you?" Cao Yang looked at Jinwu Lanxin, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"I didn't mean that... but your Aptitude is indeed average! Although it is a rare Chaos Physique, it is not the kind of Chaos Physique with advancement capabilities. I think if you don't have a great Opportunity in the future, you will definitely encounter a Realm Bottleneck and find it difficult to transcend the Chaos." Jinwu Lanxin said apologetically, seemingly realizing that her words might be hurtful.

However, she quickly returned to her righteous attitude and continued to argue, "I'm just stating the facts; I don't mean to look down on you. I have always been like this; my personality is just straightforward."

Jinwu Lanxin thought that Cao Yang might have misunderstood her original intention. She actually didn't have any contempt for Cao Yang; on the contrary, she still held a certain degree of admiration for Cao Yang.

After all, even a Chaos powerhouse with Heaven-Defying Aptitude like her had no chance to obtain the kind of Invincible Domain that Cao Yang possessed, which was truly inconceivable.

One must know that in the Chaos, the situation was very different from the Universe where those Acquired beings lived.

Almost all supreme treasures in the Chaos had their owners, or rather, they had a destined owner. And an existence like Cao Yang who could possess such a powerful Domain was simply rare, somewhat strange.

"Alright, I didn't misunderstand you; I know your character very well. The reason I have always been so friendly to you is also because I truly admire your free and easy personality." Cao Yang said with a smile. He shook his head gently, as if wanting to dispel some distractions from his mind.

However, deep in his heart, he was communicating with a mysterious System. He secretly chanted, "System, can you raise my Aptitude to be higher than Jinwu Lanxin's? Are my current hongmeng sign-in counts sufficient?"

Almost instantly, the System's crisp and pleasant voice rang in his mind, "Ding, Master, your hongmeng sign-in counts are sufficient. So, would you like to upgrade your Physique immediately?"

Cao Yang answered without hesitation, "Upgrade immediately!" His voice echoed in his heart, carrying a sense of determination and decisiveness.

"Ding, okay Master, 1,000 hongmeng sign-in counts have been spent for you. Now, your Physique has successfully upgraded from Chaos Physique to Grandmist Supreme Physique!" The System Loli's voice revealed a trace of excitement.

The moment the System's voice fell, Cao Yang suddenly felt a powerful force pouring into his body like a torrent. This force was continuous, as if it came from the depths of a mysterious space, carrying endless mysteries and energy.

At the same time, astonishing changes also occurred within the Heavenly Emperor Hall. Strands of translucent mysterious power, as if receiving a summons, gathered one after another onto Cao Yang, continuously merging into his body.

With the injection of these mysterious powers, Cao Yang's aura was also increasing at an astonishing speed.

A faint light radiated from his whole body, and this light became brighter and brighter, as dazzling as the sun.

And Jinwu Lanxin, who was standing on the side, was completely stunned by this sudden change.

She widened her eyes and looked at Cao Yang in disbelief. Just as she was astonished, a powerful aura swept towards her like a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning.

This aura was so powerful that Jinwu Lanxin couldn't resist at all; her body was thrown out heavily like a kite with a broken string.

With a loud "bang", Jinwu Lanxin's body hit the mysterious wall of the pavilion behind her heavily, then slowly slid down.

Cao Yang didn't expect that he would make a direct Breakthrough, so he instantly restrained his aura.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, are you okay?" Cao Yang walked quickly to Jinwu Lanxin's side with concern and carefully helped her up.

Jinwu Lanxin coughed a few times, and a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, slowly dripping down her fair chin. Clearly, she had suffered a certain degree of injury in the previous impact.

"Cough, cough, why did you suddenly become like this?" Jinwu Lanxin frowned slightly, looking at Cao Yang, her tone carrying a trace of doubt.

Actually, she knew a little bit in her heart, knowing that Cao Yang might have broken through a certain Realm, but she still asked casually.

Cao Yang smiled bitterly and explained, "I originally wanted to show you that my Physique can be upgraded, but I didn't expect that during the upgrade process, I would directly break through to the Chaos Supreme Realm."

He sighed helplessly and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, as soon as I finish the Breakthrough, I will immediately help you treat your injuries."

Jinwu Lanxin waved her hand and said softly, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. However, your Physique actually really upgraded; what kind of Physique is this? I couldn't tell at all."

Her gaze fell on Cao Yang, examining him carefully, and the more she looked, the more surprised she felt. Because she discovered that the current Cao Yang was no longer the previous Chaos Physique, but a Physique she had never seen before.

"My Physique has now been upgraded from the Chaos Physique to the Grandmist Supreme Physique. This is a Grandmist Physique, which can easily break through to the Hongmeng Realm. Actually, my Physique has always been upgradeable, but it requires some cost."

Cao Yang explained.

"So, your Grandmist Supreme Physique can still be upgraded?"

Jinwu Lanxin asked with some excitement.
