469: Chapter 469 Starlight Extreme, Extreme Realm

The entire Chaos World was in an uproar because the suddenly appeared Hongmeng Heavenly Court was going to hold a sermon! This news swept across the entire Chaos World like a hurricane, shocking both the peerless powerhouses hidden in the depths of Chaos and the lonely Cultivators wandering on the fringes.

The Hongmeng Heavenly Court, a mysterious and powerful existence, was actually going to hold a public sermon! For the many Cultivators in the Chaos World, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thus, countless Cultivators above the Chaos Emperor Realm set out on a journey toward the Hongmeng Heavenly Court or were already on their way.

There was only one reason why these top powerhouses of the Chaos World would head to the Hongmeng Heavenly Court to listen to the sermon so desperately—the one preaching was a legendary Transcendence Realm powerhouse!

A Transcendence Realm powerhouse—this term had already become a legend in the Chaos World. Many of the older generation powerhouses in the Chaos World had lived through countless Chaos years, yet they had never laid eyes on a Transcendence Realm powerhouse. Even the top forces in the Chaos, the descendants of the Innate Chaos Races, knew nothing about Transcendence Realm powerhouses.

If it weren't for the fact that some Innate Chaos Races still possessed hidden trump cards left behind by Transcendence Realm powerhouses, these powerhouses of the Chaos World might have begun to doubt whether the Transcendence Realm truly existed. After all, throughout the long years, they had never had the chance to come into contact with a Transcendence Realm powerhouse, which led them to harbor deep doubts about this legendary existence.

In the Chaos World, there existed countless powerful predecessors of the Chaos Emperor Realm. However, despite their profound cultivation base, they were never able to find the method or path to Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm. Consequently, they could only remain in the Chaos World, becoming a group of "old antiques" forever trapped in place.

For these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses, their Realm had reached an extremely profound level, and they could almost be said to be immortal and indestructible existences. Unless they took the initiative to dissolve themselves and merge into the Chaos World, they would not truly fall. This act of dissolving and merging into the Chaos World was like integrating one's own life with the Chaos World, becoming a part of it.

However, these predecessors in the Chaos were not entirely without clues. They all once shared a common guess: that the form of the Chaos World might be similar to that of the Universe world. Based on this guess, they believed that above the Chaos World, there should be even more powerful and higher-ranked worlds. Those worlds might hide the secrets and methods to Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm; it was just that they had not yet found a way to enter those worlds.

Therefore, if the Chaos World were to suddenly be destroyed one day, these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses within it would likely be unable to escape and would eventually be completely annihilated along with the Chaos World. Because of this, the vast majority of Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses in the Chaos World never stopped searching for a cultivation path to Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm.

However, it was a pity that the Chaos World seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, the reason for which no one could explain. No matter how much the Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses in the Chaos World racked their brains to Cultivate or how many long years passed, they were never able to Breakthrough the Peak of the Chaos Emperor Realm to touch that legendary Transcendence Realm. Faced with such a predicament, many top powerhouses in the Chaos World were unwilling to give up but had no choice but to find another way, seeking other possible cultivation methods in hopes of breaking through to the legendary Transcendence Realm and thus stepping into a higher level of the world.

Unfortunately, although countless Chaos Epochs had passed in the blink of an eye, many powerhouses had struggled and searched on this difficult path, yet they always came up empty-handed.

In the endless years of Chaos, time flowed quietly like water. However, one day, a remarkable existence suddenly emerged within this Chaos—Xingguang Ji.

Xingguang Ji—this name was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with endless light. His appearance caught the attention of all the powerhouses in the Chaos, and people began to call him the Chaos Extreme Emperor.

What was special about the Chaos Extreme Emperor was his unique Physique. This Physique was so rare that many Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses had never witnessed it. This secret was known only to the Chaos Emperor himself.

Precisely because of this unique Physique, the Chaos Extreme Emperor possessed wisdom and Comprehension Ability far exceeding other Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses. His mind was as quick as lightning, and his understanding of the Chaos Dao was deep to the bone.

To explore the cultivation path above the Peak of the Chaos Emperor Realm, the Chaos Extreme Emperor spent countless Chaos Epochs. During the long years, he continuously contemplated and realized, until at a certain moment, his mind suddenly cleared.

He successfully comprehended the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage, an unprecedented Realm. This Breakthrough ensured that the cultivation path above the Peak of the Chaos Emperor Realm was no longer a mist, but had a clear outline.

However, it should be made clear that the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage was not the legendary Transcendence Realm. Although it was more powerful than the Peak of the Chaos Emperor Realm, there was still a significant gap compared to the Transcendence Realm.

In the depths of that Chaos, in a remote corner, ten Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses were rapidly traversing the Void Realm, their target being the Hongmeng Heavenly Court.

With every step, these ten powerhouses crossed countless Chaos spaces, as if treading a grand path through the void. The places they passed left behind pitch-black Chaos void black holes; these black holes were deep and dark, like bottomless abysses in the Universe.

These black holes were not ordinary void cracks but were caused by the power of the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses. They contained terrifying Chaos Extreme Stage Power, a pure form of Chaos Power that was extremely difficult to Cultivate and store. Moreover, once this power was used, it was like a consumable; once a sliver was used, it was gone, and it could not be recovered.

However, these ten Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses did not hesitate to use such precious Extreme Stage Power, which was enough to show how long they had existed and how deep their foundation was. They might have already experienced countless years of vicissitudes and witnessed the rise and fall of the Universe, and their use of this power had reached a level of perfection.

If other compassionate Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses who cherished all living beings witnessed these ten powerhouses traversing the Chaos void, their hearts would likely feel as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, filled with unbearable pain. Because the black holes left by these ten Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses as they crossed the Chaos void were simply beyond imagination in power.

These black holes not only swallowed the countless Universes originally located there, causing them to be instantly annihilated, but the relatively weak Universes around the black holes were not spared either. Under the dual influence of the black holes' powerful suction and the residual Extreme Stage Power, they continuously disintegrated and shattered, as if doomsday had arrived.

One must know that every Universe contains countless living beings, thriving in their respective worlds and forming one unique ecosystem after another. However, the annihilation and shattering of so many Universes now meant that countless living beings would lose their homes and even face the misfortune of death.

It is conceivable that the number of deaths brought about by the destruction and shattering of so many Universes would definitely be a staggering astronomical figure. Even a Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse who wanted to count the number of fallen beings would likely feel powerless, because the number was truly too large, exceeding the scope of human cognition.

From the way these ten Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses disregarded the life and death of all things, we can deeply feel the coldness and ruthlessness in their hearts. In their eyes, the existence of living beings seemed no different from the spiritless Chaos meteorites found everywhere in the Chaos; they were all just insignificant existences in this vast Universe.

Among these ten powerhouses, the one walking at the very front was a man who looked like a youth. His long hair fell neatly behind him like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind as if merging with the surrounding Chaos. His clothing was even more luxurious, as he was dressed entirely in chaos emperor weapon-grade treasures. These treasures emitted a heart-palpitating aura and were clearly rare gems.

A faint smile always hung on the young man's face, a smile that revealed a transcendent temperament as if he had long since seen through everything in the world. He was the number one genius of the Chaos World—Xingguang Ji, the famous Chaos Extreme Emperor. However, although his reputation was once as loud as thunder, that was already several epochs before they attained the title of Emperor. In today's Chaos World, Extreme Stage powerhouses were few and far between, and his name had gradually been forgotten by people.

Behind Xingguang Ji followed nine elders. These nine elders were also Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses born in the same epoch as him. However, the reason they were able to break through to such a Realm was largely because they had always followed by Xingguang Ji's side and were influenced and guided by him. Otherwise, with their own talent and effort, they would likely still be stuck at the Peak of the Chaos Emperor Realm.

Of course, in the Chaos Epoch he lived in, they were not the only Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses. In fact, there were dozens of other Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses scattered across this vast world. Even in later Chaos Epochs, new Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses were constantly being born.

However, the fates of these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses were all different. Some of them, unable to endure the torment of long Chaos years, eventually chose to actively merge into the Chaos World, disappearing forever into this endless Chaos.

Others became objects for them to exploit. The "exploitation" mentioned here refers to how they cleverly utilized the Chaos Power that those Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses had already refined within their bodies. After those Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses were ambushed and heavily injured by them, most of the Chaos Power in their bodies was forcibly extracted and absorbed.

Although these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses lost their lives because of this, they did not truly fall. Because the damage from the Extreme Path Power was too great, these powerhouses who had their Chaos Power absorbed could never return to their Peak state, let alone come for revenge. Thus, they could only undergo Reincarnation in various corners of the Chaos, waiting for their next Rebirth.

Time passed, and countless Chaos Epochs flew by, but no one ever came to seek revenge against them. Perhaps those former victims had long forgotten the grievances of their past lives in the endless cycle of Reincarnation; or perhaps they simply had no chance to rise again and challenge these powerful existences once more.

The Extreme Stage Power possessed by these ten people was not achieved overnight; it was obtained through long periods of cultivation and the continuous absorption of Chaos Power from other Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses, followed by countless purification processes.

However, despite accumulating a large amount of Extreme Path Power, they were never able to take a step further in their Realm or touch the legendary Transcendence Realm. Thus, they finally decided to stop absorbing and refining the Chaos Power of others.

It is conceivable that if they had not stopped this behavior, there probably wouldn't be so many Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses in the Chaos today, and even Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage powerhouses would have become very few.

However, most people might not know that in today's Chaos World, there are actually people who can Cultivate to the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage! All of this is thanks to Xingguang Ji, who intentionally spread the cultivation path of the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage he created to every corner of the Chaos, giving people the chance to Cultivate to this Realm.

However, to the ten people like Xingguang Ji, these Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stages were not worth mentioning at all. Because the cultivation path they spread was actually an intentionally weakened version. Even if the beings in the Chaos successfully cultivated to the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage, they would be no match for them. Xingguang Ji and the others were completely confident that they could easily kill them.

So, why did they spread the cultivation path of the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage?

The reason was that they hoped to observe whether any geniuses similar to Xingguang Ji would emerge within the Chaos through this method.

If such a genius truly appeared, perhaps they could help them achieve a greater Breakthrough on the path of cultivation and thus get closer to the legendary Transcendence Realm.

Not long ago, the voice of Cao Yang's True Spirit Body was like thunder, crossing the endless Chaos and accurately reaching the ears of Xingguang Ji and the other nine. This voice seemed to contain endless mysteries and power, leaving Xingguang Ji and the others shocked.

They thought to themselves that in this Chaos, there might actually be a genius who was on par with Xingguang Ji himself! Such a person might truly be able to break through to the level above the Chaos Emperor Realm Extreme Stage and become the most top-tier existence in this Chaos World.

However, when Cao Yang's True Spirit Body claimed to have broken through to the legendary Transcendence Realm, Xingguang Ji and the others shook their heads in unison, revealing expressions of disbelief.

The Transcendence Realm was a Realm that only existed in legends; even a peerless powerhouse like Xingguang Ji had never truly touched that Domain.

In their view, the news conveyed by Cao Yang's True Spirit Body was simply too inconceivable and hard to believe.

Xingguang Ji even believed that this person might have used his Extreme Stage Power to take a step further.
