Chapter 440 Inheritance Analysis, Clues to the Chaos Dao Ancestor

Reverse Path Outpost, former main hall of Bone Prison City.

Nightmare sat cross-legged on the reforged black jade throne, with the three scrolls of ancient Chaos Legacy Jade Slips taken from the Demon Bone treasury floating before him.

The Jade Slips were made of some kind of Chaos beast hide, cool to the touch, with ancient dark-gold patterns flowing across the surface.

He extended his Divine Sense into them.

The moment the first wisp of information flooded into his mind, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze for an instant—it was the pressure of higher-level Laws.

---

**The Chaos Domain is vast and boundless, divided into three zones:**

**Fringe Zone**: Such as the Grey Mist Wasteland, the concentration of chaos origin is low, mostly occupied by small and medium-sized tribes, and the environment is relatively stable.

**Core Zone**: The concentration of chaos origin is extremely high, nurturing the top resources and Secret Realms of the Chaos Domain, firmly controlled by the three major tribes.

**Forbidden Zone**: Chaos storms rage, space is extremely unstable, and legends say the remains and secret treasures of the Chaos Dao Ancestors who fell in the ancient era are buried here; those who enter face certain death.

---

The Demonic Flame in Nightmare's eyes flickered slightly.

He continued reading.

---

**Top Combat Power Levels of the Chaos Domain:**

**Chaos Heavenly Venerate** (Equivalent to the Early Stage to Middle Stage of the Hongmeng Universe Supreme)

**Chaos Supreme** (Equivalent to the Late Stage to Peak of the Hongmeng Universe Supreme)

**Chaos Dao Ancestor** (Transcends Supreme, initially masters the Laws of chaos origin, can trigger Chaos Tides with a single thought)

---

**In the current Chaos Domain, there are three known Chaos Dao Ancestors, each ruling one of the three top tribes:**

**Yan Huang Tribe**—Dao Ancestor 'Flame Emperor', in control of the Chaos Path of Fire, violent temperament, territory located in the southeast of the Chaos Domain.

**Ice Soul Tribe**—Dao Ancestor 'Ice Soul', in control of the Chaos Path of Ice, cold and unpredictable, territory located in the northwest of the Chaos Domain.

**Thunder Marsh Tribe**—Dao Ancestor 'Thunder Marsh', in control of the Chaos Path of Thunder, majestic and overbearing, territory located in the center of the Chaos Domain.

---

**The three tribes stand in a tripartite balance, restraining each other, and no full-scale war has broken out for tens of thousands of years.**

**Beneath them, each has dozens of subsidiary tribes that pay tribute regularly and await deployment.**

---

Nightmare's gaze fell upon the words 'Yan Huang Tribe'.

The Demon Bone Tribe... was one of Flame Emperor's subsidiaries.

Then Bone Evil's plea for help before death should have been sent to the Yan Huang Tribe.

He continued browsing.

The final part of the Jade Slip recorded clues to a key Secret Realm—

---

**Chaos Origin Pool**.

**Located at the junction of the three tribes in the Core Zone of the Chaos Domain, it is a natural Secret Realm formed by the convergence of chaos origin.**

**The pool contains the purest Chaos Origin Liquid, which can temper the Physical Body, refine the Divine Soul, and enhance the level of control over chaos origin; it is a key aid for a Chaos Supreme to break through to the Chaos Dao Ancestor level.**

**The pool opens once every thousand years, and each opening lasts only thirty days.**

**Next opening time: Approximately one year from now.**

---

**At that time, the three major tribes will each send elites to compete for it; the victor can occupy the core area of the Origin Pool and obtain the greatest Opportunity.**

---

Nightmare withdrew his Divine Sense, and the light of the Jade Slip dimmed.

He closed his eyes in deep thought.

In one year, the Chaos Origin Pool would open.

This was a critical chance to break through to the Chaos Dao Ancestor level.

But the prerequisite was—he must be able to gain a firm foothold in the Chaos Domain and be qualified to participate in the competition.

And now, he had just wiped out a subsidiary tribe of the Yan Huang Tribe; the other party would never let it slide.

"Yan Huang Tribe... Chaos Dao Ancestor..."

Nightmare whispered to himself, the Demonic Flame dancing in his eyes.

He did not fear challenges, but he would not blindly clash head-on either.

"Zuo Feng."

"Present." Zuo Feng stepped in from outside the hall.

"Send out all scouts, centered on the Grey Mist Wasteland, to explore three thousand miles outward. I want detailed intelligence on all surrounding tribes—their scale, combat power, and affiliations."

"Yes."

"Also," Nightmare added, "focus on movements from the direction of the Yan Huang Tribe. If a large-scale force approaches, report back immediately."

"Understood."

Zuo Feng took his orders and withdrew.

Nightmare stood up, walked to the hall window, and looked out at the mist-covered wasteland outside the city.

The Chaos Domain was vaster and more complex than he had imagined.

Three major Dao Ancestors, a tripartite balance, and subsidiary tribes intertwined like roots.

And he, an 'Outsider' who had just stepped into this place, had already destroyed a subsidiary tribe; he was destined to enter the sight of certain existences.

"Very well."

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Battle Intent rose in his eyes:

"Since I'm going to compete, I'll start by kicking down their front door."

"One year later, at the Chaos Origin Pool—"

"I want a seat."

---

Three days later.

Zuo Feng brought back intelligence.

"Lord, within three thousand miles, there are seventeen small and medium-sized tribes. Among them, six belong to Flame Emperor, five to Ice Soul, four to Thunder Marsh, and two remain neutral."

"Additionally," he paused, "from the direction of the Yan Huang Tribe, a force of about five hundred people is moving toward the Grey Mist Wasteland, expected to arrive within ten days. The leader's aura is extremely strong; according to memory fragments from the escaped Demon Bone remnants, he is suspected to be the commander of the 'Yan Huo Vanguard' directly under the Yan Huang Tribe—Yan Fen, with a cultivation at the Late Stage of the Chaos Supreme Realm."

Nightmare took the intelligence Jade Slip and scanned it.

"Yan Huo Vanguard... Late Stage Chaos Supreme..."

He put down the Jade Slip and looked at the elites standing solemnly in the hall:

"Order the entire army to rest and reorganize, absorb the resources of the Demon Bone Tribe, and enhance your combat power."

"In seven days, I want all of you—"

"To advance at least one minor Realm."

"In ten days," he looked out of the hall, the Demonic Flame in his eyes blazing:

"We meet the Yan Huo Vanguard."
