Chapter 444 The Origin Pool Opens, the Three Races Gather

The news of the Yan God Dao Guards' annihilation spread through every tribe on the edge of the Chaos Domain within three days.

The eleven tribal Clan Chiefs who had already shown goodwill to the Nidao Alliance were now kneeling in the main hall of Bone Prison City, trembling with their foreheads pressed against the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

Nightmare sat on the black jade throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

“The Yan God Dao Guards are completely wiped out.”

He spoke, his voice calm, yet it caused the temperature in the hall to plummet.

“The Yan Huang Tribe will not let this go. The next one to come might be the Yan Huang Ancestor himself.”

The eleven Clan Chiefs shuddered.

“Now, you have one last chance to choose.”

Nightmare’s gaze swept over the crowd.

“Continue to follow me and place a big bet. If we win, you will have a place in the future Chaos Domain.”

“Or, withdraw now, take your people and get out of the Grey Mist Wasteland, and never let me see you again.”

There was a brief, dead silence.

A white-haired Clan Chief looked up tremblingly, “Lord... that is the Yan Huang Ancestor, one of the three top existences in the Chaos Domain... we...”

“So you are afraid.” Nightmare interrupted him, the Demonic Flame flickering in his eyes. “If you’re afraid, then get out.”

Another middle-aged Clan Chief gritted his teeth, “Lord, we are willing to follow you to the death!”

With someone taking the lead, the other Clan Chiefs followed suit.

“We are willing to follow the Lord!”

“We’re betting on it!”

Nightmare nodded slightly.

“Very well.”

He raised his hand and distributed the Chaos origin crystals plundered from the Yan God Dao Guards' Storage Pouches to everyone.

“Take these to increase your strength. In one month, I want to see at least three more Chaos Supreme Realms in each of your tribes.”

“Additionally, send out all scouts to keep a close eye on the movements of the three major tribes. Especially the Chaos Origin Pool—report any unusual activity immediately.”

“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison, a wild fire burning in their eyes.

The gamblers had placed their bets; there was no turning back.

---

One month later.

In the core area of the Chaos Domain, three thousand miles outside the “Origin Holy Land.”

When Nightmare led a hundred and fifty elites to this place, the concentration of chaos origin in the entire world had become so dense that it turned into a physical pale golden mist.

With every breath, the Origin naturally surged into their bodies; even without Cultivating, they felt their cultivation level slowly increasing.

“So this is the core area...” Zuo Feng took a deep breath, shock in his eyes.

Nightmare looked up toward the depths of the Holy Land.

There, a pale golden pillar of light that connected heaven and earth was faintly visible. In the center of the pillar, a pool of boiling Chaos liquid could be vaguely seen, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of pure Origin.

The Chaos Origin Pool.

But at this moment, it was not peaceful outside the pool.

Three distinct but equally terrifying auras had arrived first, forming a triangular formation and surrounding the Origin Pool in the center.

To the east, crimson flames soared to the sky. Five hundred figures clad in red armor stood like a military formation of fire. Their leader wore a red-gold imperial robe, his face blurred within the flames, with only his star-like eyes clearly visible—the Yan Huang Ancestor.

To the north, ice condensed as five hundred ice-armored Cultivators stood still like glaciers. In the center, a blue-haired woman stood with her hands behind her back, surrounded by snowflakes, her gaze as cold as ten-thousand-year-old profound ice—the Ice Soul Ancestor.

To the west, lightning raged as five hundred thunder-armored warriors had electric snakes crawling over them. In front of them, a purple-robed burly man held a thunder halberd, his hair and beard both purple, exuding an air of natural authority—the Thunder Marsh Ancestor.

The three Great Ancestors, each leading five hundred Chaos Supreme Realm elites, already regarded the Origin Pool as their exclusive property.

The appearance of Nightmare and his group instantly broke the balance of this confrontation.

Three gazes turned toward them simultaneously.

The fire in the Yan Huang Ancestor’s eyes suddenly flared up.

“It’s you—”

His voice rolled like muffled thunder.

“The extra-territorial ant who killed my Yan Fen and slaughtered my Dao Guards.”

The Ice Soul Ancestor and Thunder Marsh Ancestor also looked at Nightmare, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes—they could feel that although this youth's aura had not yet reached the Ancestor level, it was infinitely close, and the black flame within his body made even them feel a trace of threat.

The Yan Huang Ancestor gave a cold laugh and looked at Ice Soul and Thunder Marsh.

“You two, the Origin Pool is about to open; it is not suitable for internal strife. How about we first join forces to clear out this extra-territorial piece of trash, and then compete based on our own abilities?”

The Ice Soul Ancestor was silent for a moment before nodding slightly.

“Agreed.”

The Thunder Marsh Ancestor grinned.

“A mere ant dares to lay a finger on the Origin Pool? Killing him will be clean.”

The three parties instantly reached a temporary alliance.

The Yan Huang Ancestor looked at Nightmare, his voice carrying a condescending indifference.

“Extra-territorial wretch, the Origin Pool is a core resource of the Chaos Domain; no non-native forces are allowed to touch it.”

“Withdraw now, and this venerable one can spare your life.”

“Otherwise—”

He raised his hand, flames condensing in his palm.

“The three tribes will join forces to completely annihilate you, along with your subordinates.”

Nightmare looked at these three top existences of the Chaos Domain and suddenly smiled.

He took a step forward, and the Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame soared into the sky from within his body!

The pitch-black flames collided fiercely with the auras of the three Great Ancestors, actually forcing back the pale golden mist by three Zhang!

“In the Chaos Domain, the strong are respected.”

He spoke, his voice clearly reaching everyone present.

“The Origin Pool shall be contested by strength.”

“You three tribes—”

His gaze swept over Flame Emperor, Ice Soul, and Thunder Marsh, his lips curling into a cold arc.

“Are you even worthy of monopolizing it?”

As his voice fell, the aura around him surged again! After absorbing the surrounding chaos origin, the Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame actually evolved into the ‘Grandmist Chaos Void Annihilation Reincarnation Unity Chaos Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame,’ its power directly approaching the Early Stage of the Ancestor realm!

The pupils of the three Great Ancestors shrank simultaneously.

This youth... can actually achieve a Breakthrough during battle?!

And right at that moment—

“Buzz—!!”

Deep within the Origin Holy Land, that pale golden pillar of light suddenly shone with great brilliance! The Chaos liquid in the pool began to boil and roll, and an aura of Origin, pure to the extreme, spread out like a storm!

The Chaos Origin Pool—

Had officially opened!

Almost simultaneously, a fervent light erupted in the eyes of everyone from the three forces, including Nightmare!

The confrontation ended.

The struggle began!
