"First, I need to figure out where this is!"
Stepping out of the Chaos Passage, Li Yu found himself amid a vast mountain range. There were no villages ahead, no inns behind, not even a single person in sight.
"If there's no one around, I'll just take a look myself!"
A streak of Chaos Light burst from his eyes. Li Yu's gaze pierced through time, causality, and fate, and then...
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out. A wave of "heavenly will" that dominated Heaven and Earth swept over him like a raging tide, knocking Li Yu's gaze out of time, causality, and fate.
"I can't even take a look? I call you petty, and you still refuse to admit it?"
The moment he heard that snort and felt that "heavenly will," Li Yu immediately knew who it was.
It was that Chaos Venerable who treated Heaven as Dao, the one who had set a trap for Li Yu in the end and left behind a Chaos Black Hole.
"You didn't attack me directly, but you've set up plenty of obstacles for me?"
Li Yu did not know why those eight experts of the Second Step of Chaos had not attacked him outright. However, he already knew that attaining the Second Step of Chaos in this "Primordial World" would likely be extremely difficult.
There would certainly be people trying to block his path to the Dao.
"This poor daoist isn't someone who gets frightened by difficulties!"
Li Yu had long anticipated the hardships and dangers of attaining the Chaos Dao. This path contained not only his own trials, but interference from outside forces as well.
His hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the fighting spirit in Li Yu's heart surged even higher.
