150: fear

Although the news of Gu Changge's defeat in the starry sky was not widely spread, it still caused quite a stir within the highest circles.

The unparalleled God King of the Longevity Gu Family, despite having a cultivation advantage, was defeated in a short time by the newly advanced Quasi-Emperor Lin Dao!

This caused many ancient existences to raise their evaluation of Lin Dao to a new height, truly considering him one of the most powerful contenders on the Emperors Road.

Lin Dao, however, was unconcerned.

After returning to the Lin Family Forbidden Ground, he once again immersed himself in the endless Chaos Qi flow.

For him, the battle with Gu Changge wasn't even a warm-up, let alone yielding any gains.

His true cultivation has always been focused on himself, on the exploration of the Great Dao of Chaos, and on the construction and perfection of the chaotic world within his body.

His consciousness once again sank into the chaotic consciousness space triggered by the Primordial Divine Demon Body.

Here, it was still eternal Chaos, but compared to before, it seemed more “lively”.

The illusory figures of the Chaos Demon Gods were no longer just imprints of battle; more clear and complete Law Dao Rhymes began to emanate from them.

The pure power of the Strength Demon God, the flowing years of the Time Demon God, the ethereal nature of the Space Demon God, the Battle Intent of the Battle Ape Demon God, the destructive aura of the Destruction Demon God, the life source of the Creation Demon God... these Laws were no longer isolated existences; under Lin Dao's conscious guidance, they began to collide, intertwine, and fuse.

He sat in the center of Chaos, like an ancient god who opened the heavens and earth, using his own will as a guide to harmonize all Daos.

The projection of his chaotic world flickered in and out of existence outside his body; although still blurry, the interior was no longer pure Chaos, and signs of separation between clear and turbid began to appear, along with a preliminary trend of earth, water, fire, and wind solidifying.

He was attempting to project his insights from the chaotic consciousness space into the nascent form of his own world. This was a painstaking process, requiring endless patience and a profound understanding of the essence of the Great Dao.

“Chaos gives birth to Wuji, Wuji transforms into Taiji... My path, perhaps, is not merely the ultimate in power, but rather... evolution.”

Lin Dao's understanding became increasingly clear in his heart.

He was no longer merely satisfied with immense power; he pursued an essential “creation” and “control”.

If he could truly evolve the chaotic world within his body into a complete form, even if it was just aprototype (nascent form), its power would be beyond imagination.

While Lin Dao was in the depths of the Forbidden Ground, undergoing the fundamental evolution of the Great Dao, the undercurrents in the Primal Ancient Realm did not subside due to his silence; instead, they grew even more turbulent.

Somewhere in an unknown forbidden zone of the starry sky, dead stars revolved.

Several indistinct figures, exuding decay and ancient aura, whispered in the darkness.

“Lin Dao... is growing too fast.”

“Major Achievement Primordial Divine Demon Body, Great Dao of Chaos... If this child is not eliminated early, he might become a second 'Pan'.”

“The Emperors Road is about to open, there are too many variables. Those old fellows who are sleeping should also wake up.”

“I heard that the one from 'Burial Heaven Island' has shown signs of awakening...”

“And 'Undying Mountain'...”

“Let's see. When the time is ripe, we'll join forces to erase him. For now, let the juniors go and scout the way.”

On the other side, deep within the boundless Demonic Abyss.

Devilish Qi churned, condensing into a giant face, which was the manifested will of the Heavenly Demon Clan's Progenitor.

“The Lin Family... Lin Dao... and those two mysterious Dao Protectors... Hmph, once this Progenitor fully recovers, I will forever suppress your Divine Souls in the Demonic Abyss!

Pass down the order, accelerate the deployment of the 'Myriad Demons Corroding Heaven Array'!”

“Yes! Progenitor!”

At the same time, Lin Huan, who was leisurely adventuring outside, was not having an entirely smooth journey.

After leaving the Black Wind Marsh, he maintained his relaxed demeanor, traveling around, enjoying the scenery, and experiencing the Mortal World.

His cultivation, under the automatic operation of the Primal Origin Scripture, was steadily approaching the Saint Realm, and his aura became increasingly pure and natural.

One day, he traveled to an ancient mountain range called “Falling Dragon Ravine”.

Legend has it that a true Dragon once fell here, its Dragon blood staining the earth, forming unique terrain and Dragon veins, and also nurturing many powerful Dragon-blood Yao Beasts and rare Dragon-attribute Spirit Materials.

Lin Huan had little interest in the so-called true Dragon Legacy, but he was attracted by a Spirit Medicine in the ravine called “Dragon Saliva Grass”.

This grass contained a trace of Dragon Qi, tasted sweet, and was full of juice, making it his new favorite snack recently.

He was squatting by a cliff, carefully collecting several stalks of Dragon Saliva Grass of considerable age, when an arrogant shout came from behind him.

“Where did this brat come from! How dare you touch the Dragon Saliva Grass our 'Red Dragon Gang' has set its eyes on! Are you tired of living?!”

Seven or eight Cultivators dressed in uniform crimson robes surrounded him. The leader was a young man with an arrogant face and a cultivation in the Late Stage Xiaoyao Realm.

They carried a faint scent of bloody Evil Qi, clearly not good people.

Lin Huan stood up, still holding the freshly picked Dragon Saliva Grass, and blinked: “Are your names written here? Why can't I pick it?”

Seeing that Lin Huan was young and his cultivation seemed to be only in the Xiaoyao Realm, the Red Dragon Gang youth's arrogance grew even stronger: “Less nonsense! This Falling Dragon Ravine, our Red Dragon Gang calls the shots!

If you know what's good for you, hand over everything you have and scram! Otherwise, hmph!”

The gang members behind him also drew their weapons and approached with sinister smiles.

Lin Huan looked at them and sighed.

He just wanted to quietly pick some “snacks” to eat, but why were there always people who didn't know how to mind their own business to disturb him?

He didn't want trouble, but he was never afraid of it either.

Just as he was about to casually “send” these people away, he suddenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation from deep within the ravine, mixed with a subtle but pure Dragon might, and... several powerful auras carrying greed and killing intent.

“Oh?”

Lin Huan's attention was drawn away, temporarily ignoring the Red Dragon Gang members in front of him.

The Red Dragon Gang youth was even more furious when he saw Lin Huan actually ignoring them and looking towards the depths of the ravine: “Brat, you're courting death!”

With that, he struck out with a palm, imbued with crimson Dragon-shaped Qi.

Lin Huan didn't even look, just waved his hand casually, as if shooing away a fly.

A gentle force of Primal Origin swept past.

The Red Dragon Gang youth and the gang members behind him only felt an irresistible, immense force, and they were uncontrollably lifted off the ground, like kites with broken strings, thrown far out of the Falling Dragon Ravine, turning into a few stars in the sky, accompanied by terrified screams, disappearing at the edge of sight.

Having easily resolved this small trouble, Lin Huan clapped his hands, his gaze curiously fixed on the source of the energy fluctuations deep within the ravine.

“It seems something interesting is about to emerge.”

A slight smile played on his lips. He no longer lingered, his figure flickered, and he swept towards the depths of the ravine.

“It seems something interesting is about to emerge.”
