Ch. 721Black Plateau, Chaos Supreme Treasure
Chapter Summary
- Journey through the Chaos: Su Changqing and Pangu leave the Death Abyss aboard the Green Lotus Flying Boat, bound for the 50 Billionth Layered World. Pangu warns that the trip will take thousands of years and that the vast Chaos Worlds contain dangers capable of killing even Great God-Fiends. They avoid a world being consumed by golden Chaos Exotic Beasts, which Pangu says feed on entire worlds.
- Su Changqing’s progress: During the journey, Su’s God-fiend body grows to twenty million zhang, bringing him to the threshold of a Two Revolutions God-Fiend. He is also a Primordial Dao Ancestor through the Great Dao of the Blade and has attained Dao-Unification Transcendence. He believes reaching Three-Turn would transform him, but for now he still relies most on Ice Demon Tooth.
- Ice Demon Tooth’s significance: Su watches the Little Ice Beast sleep and recalls Pangu’s explanation of the Cobalt Clams: rare Chaos Divine Beasts whose physical bodies are extraordinarily powerful, though they struggle to master Dao arts and divine abilities. Ice Demon Tooth’s body rivals a Fifth Turn God-Fiend’s, and its true form spans light-years. Su judges that they should be safe unless they meet a Transcendent Dao Ancestor who specializes in soul attacks.
- A sudden encounter: The Green Lotus Flying Boat is struck and brought to a halt. Su and Pangu emerge to find a colossal Black Plateau Mountain range blocking their way. Stretching nearly 1.82 light-years, it appears to divide the surrounding chaos. Pangu identifies it as a top-tier Chaos Supreme Treasure, comparable to the Chaos Green Lotus. He is astonished that Su has encountered such a treasure so soon after leaving their Chaos World.
