Chapter 451 Dao Ancestor Perfection, First Exploration of the Primordial Chaos Sea

Inside the deepest seclusion chamber of the Chaos Reverse Path Heavenly Palace.

Nightmare sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.

Before him floated two slowly rotating Origin Cores—one from the Hongmeng Universe Governance Token, pale gold in color; the other from the Chaos Domain Origin Pool core, dark gray in color.

The two Origins intertwined and permeated each other, emitting a low hum.

"It is time."

Nightmare opened his eyes, and the deep darkness within them suddenly shifted, as if Universes were being born and destroyed inside.

He spread his hands and slowly pressed the two Origins into his chest.

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribable, majestic power, like a breached river of Chaos, surged into his limbs and bones!

The power of the Hongmeng Universe's rules and the Chaos Domain's sea of Origin began an unprecedented Fusion under the guidance of his Reverse Path Demonic Technique.

Within the seclusion chamber, space began to twist and fold, the flow of time fluctuated, and even the light rippled like a reflection in water—this was the rule disturbance caused by the Origin Fusion.

On Nightmare's surface, his skin cracked inch by inch, only to heal rapidly within the Demonic Flame. Every cycle of breaking and healing took away a layer of old flesh and blood, giving birth to a tougher body more closely aligned with the rules.

Seven days later.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound, seemingly from the depths of his Soul, echoed within Nightmare's body.

Immediately after, a harmonious, vast aura that seemed to encompass everything slowly radiated from his body.

The rule disturbances in the seclusion chamber instantly calmed, replaced by an absolute 'order'—all energy, light, and space seemed to surrender and worship him.

Nightmare slowly opened his eyes.

The darkness in his eyes had now turned into pure 'nothingness'; one look, and it felt as if even the Divine Soul would be sucked away.

Chaos Dao Ancestor Perfection.

At this moment, his control over the Chaos rules had reached the Transcendent level. With a single thought, he could freeze a thousand miles or cause a volcano to erupt; with a single thought, he could twist space or solidify time.

This was the Perfection Dao Ancestor under the dual blessing of the Chaos Domain and the Hongmeng Universe—only one final step away from the legendary 'Dominator' realm.

He stood up and stepped out of the seclusion chamber.

Without needing to spread his Divine Sense, everything in the entire Chaos Domain was now crystal clear in his perception:

Zuo Feng was clearing out the last few stubborn Loose Cultivator forces in the core area; wherever his blade light passed, heads rolled.

Right Wing was re-dividing tribal territories in the peripheral areas, his methods crisp and efficient, with no one daring to object.

Dark Blade moved like a shadow on the edge of the Forbidden Zone, slaying all the lowlifes who tried to steal resources amidst the Chaos.

Within the Hongmeng Universe, Mo Xuan was presiding over the first cross-domain resource allocation, all in perfect order.

Everything was under control.

But Nightmare's gaze was already cast higher.

He looked up, his vision piercing through the firmament of the Chaos Domain, gazing toward that boundless 'Grandmist Chaos Sea'.

That was the source that nurtured ten thousand domains, the place where the truly powerful should go.

"It is time to leave."

He whispered, and his figure appeared in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.

"Mo Xuan."

As soon as he spoke, Mo Xuan's figure stepped out from the teleportation Formation and knelt on one knee:

"Lord!"

"After I leave, you, Zuo Feng, Right Wing, and Dark Blade will jointly manage the affairs of the two domains, with you as the lead."

"If you encounter matters difficult to decide, you may send word to me. If you encounter a foreign invasion—kill them without mercy."

"Yes!" Mo Xuan responded in a deep voice.

Nightmare said no more and turned toward the Forbidden Ground behind the Heavenly Palace.

There, a giant Formation spanning the Void Realm had already been laid out—the Grandmist Chaos Sea Passage Grand Formation.

At the eye of the Formation floated two items: a crystal condensed from the Origin power of a Chaos Dao Ancestor Perfection, and a pitch-black core compressed from Reverse Path Dominator Demonic Flame.

"Open."

Nightmare raised his hand and pressed the two items into the Formation's eye.

"Buzz—!!!"

The Formation's light intensified, and a pillar of light interwoven with pale gold and pitch black soared into the sky, tearing open a slowly rotating passage in the Void Realm.

On the other side of the passage, one could vaguely see an infinite 'ocean' composed of pure Grandmist chaos origin, every wisp of aura making a Chaos Dao Ancestor's heart tremble.

"Zuo Feng, Right Wing, Dark Blade."

"Present!" The three figures appeared simultaneously.

"Come with me to take a look."

Nightmare stepped into the passage.

The three looked at each other and followed without hesitation.

---

The end of the passage.

When the four stepped out, the scene before them caused even the three lords, who were long accustomed to grand spectacles, to have their pupils shrink.

There was no sky here, no earth.

Only the boundless, slowly flowing 'Grandmist chaos origin' covered the field of vision like an ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The concentration of Origin was more than a hundred times that of the Chaos Domain! Just by breathing, one could feel their cultivation slowly increasing.

The air was filled with an ancient, primitive, yet incredibly pure aura—the scent of the Origin of all things.

"This place is..." Zuo Feng's voice was somewhat dry.

"The Grandmist Chaos Sea," Nightmare said calmly. "The source that nurtured the Universe we are in."

He reached out and grabbed a wisp of flowing Grandmist chaos origin; the Demonic Flame in his palm flickered, refining and absorbing it in an instant.

"As expected..."

He could clearly feel that the Origin here was not only more concentrated, but its rule level also far exceeded that of the Chaos Domain. If he could Cultivate here long-term, he might even reach the threshold of the legendary 'Dominator' within a hundred years.

But this place was by no means safe.

"Roar—!!"

In the distance, a giant beast ten thousand feet long, its entire body condensed from Grandmist chaos origin, slowly rose from the 'ocean', its crimson gaze locking onto the four.

That aura was remarkably at the level of Chaos Dao Ancestor Perfection!

"A welcoming guest as soon as we arrive," Nightmare's lips curled slightly. "Good."

He looked at Zuo Feng and the other two:

"Establish a temporary base here, set up a Reverse Path Defensive Formation, and gather the surrounding Origin resources."

"This beast—"

He stepped out, his figure shooting toward the giant beast like lightning:

"I will handle it."
