Primordial Chaos Talisman Core, Singularity Countdown

The Dao Source Seal's warning rang through Xuan Fu's mind like thunder, echoing again and again. Within the Universe Talisman Realm, the concealed Void Talisman Fragment no longer hid itself. The Spread of the Black Mark raced along the talisman realm's veins, forming a clear resonant link with the Chaos Singularity deep within the Dao Source. The Defense Runes on the talisman realm's surface began to fall into disorder. The formerly stable four-colored light flickered erratically, and even the circulation of Chaos-Desolation Qi grew sluggish, clearly having been initially affected by the singularity's power.

"We must find the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core at once!" Xuan Fu embedded the Dao Source Seal into the core of the Universe Talisman Realm. Seven-colored light temporarily suppressed the Spread of the Black Mark. "Senior Daoist Yang Mei, Fellow Daoist Donghua, guard the talisman realm's core for me. Reinforce the defenses with Dao Source Power. Three Envoys, follow me deep into the talisman realm and awaken the remnant soul of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor!"

Demon Ancestor Luohu, Netherworld Ghost Lord, and Old Ancestor Nirvana all nodded. The Origin Power around their bodies resonated with the talisman realm's aura, forming a black protective barrier that cut off the interference of the singularity's resonance. Xuan Fu, meanwhile, activated the power of the Universe Talisman Venerable and tore through the Space Barrier in the talisman realm's depths, revealing a hidden realm thick with Primordial Chaos Aura—this was the Core Area where the remnant soul of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor had fused with the talisman realm. Countless ancient talisman patterns floated through the air, emitting the rhythm of Chaos Beginning.

At the center of the hidden realm, a hazy golden phantom floated silently. It was the remnant soul of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor. Countless origin talismans circled the phantom, closely connected to the talisman pathways of the realm. Clearly, it was his power that maintained the basic operation of the Universe Talisman Realm.

"Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor, this junior Xuan Fu requests an audience with your remnant soul!" Xuan Fu bowed. The Dao Source Seal and the Initial Rune Seal erupted at the same time, their two lights Intertwined into a Primordial Chaos rhythm that awakened the sleeping remnant soul. "The Chaos Singularity is about to awaken. Only the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core can resolve this calamity. I beg Senior to tell me where it lies!"

The golden phantom slowly opened its eyes, its gaze carrying the ancient vicissitudes and wisdom of Chaos Beginning. "Little Friend Xuan Fu, there is no need to say more. This Venerable One already knows everything. The Chaos Singularity is the Void Core at the beginning of the Dao Source. Back then, this Venerable One and the Lord of Void sought to suppress it, causing the Balance of Existence and Non-existence to collapse. In the end, my remnant soul was collected by the Shadow of the End."

The phantom Raised a Hand and Waved. Countless origin talismans transformed into a stream of information and poured into Xuan Fu's mind. "The Primordial Chaos Talisman Core is hidden within the 'Chaos Origin Point.' It is where Primordial Chaos and void converged before Pangu split open the heavens. It has now drifted into the gap between the Initial Realm and Chaos-Desolation. The talisman core not only seals a portion of the singularity's power, but also contains the Primordial Origin that restrains void. It is the only key capable of reversing this crisis."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" Xuan Fu rejoiced in his heart. Just as he was about to take his leave, he saw the phantom of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor suddenly turn transparent. "Senior!"

"This Venerable One's remnant soul has deeply fused with the talisman realm and cannot accompany you." There was a trace of weakness in the phantom's voice. "I gift you this 'Primordial Chaos Talisman Key.' It can open the seal of the Chaos Origin Point. Remember, the talisman core's power is violent. Only by suppressing it with the Belief of All Spirits and Dao Source Power together can you control it."

A golden talisman key flew from the phantom and landed in Xuan Fu's hand. The moment he grasped it, it resonated with the Dao Source Seal. Seven-colored light Intertwined with golden talisman patterns, forming a precise directional guide that pointed directly toward the gap between the Initial Realm and Chaos-Desolation. As the talisman key was removed, the phantom of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Ancestor completely dispersed. The Defense Runes of the Universe Talisman Realm shook once more, and the Spread of the Black Mark suddenly accelerated.

"There is no time to waste!" Xuan Fu clenched the Primordial Chaos Talisman Key and flew toward the outside of the hidden realm. "Three Envoys, follow me swiftly to the Chaos Origin Point!"

By the time they left the hidden realm, the situation in the Universe Talisman Realm had grown even more critical. The black marks across its surface had covered nearly half of it. Chaos-Desolation Qi was beginning to be assimilated by the singularity's power, becoming Ice-Cold and deathly still. Daoist Yang Mei and Donghua were using all their strength to activate Dao Source Power and Wood Spirit Power, yet they could only barely hold the Core Area, their faces pale as paper. The Three Clan Experts and countless living beings burned their origins one after another, pouring their power into the talisman realm. Only then did they barely slow its collapse.

"Fellow Daoist Mystic Talisman, you must return quickly!" Donghua's voice was weary, and his Wood Spirit Power already showed signs of running dry.

Xuan Fu did not answer. He only accelerated, leading the Three Envoys through the boundary of the Universe Talisman Realm and flying toward the gap between the Initial Realm and Chaos-Desolation. The gap was a chaotic region of energy, where Chaos Streams collided with the laws of the Initial Realm. Its Space Barriers were as fragile as paper, and countless Space Rifts drifted about. One careless misstep would drag them inside and annihilate them completely.

The Golden Light of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Key guided their way as Xuan Fu and the other three swiftly weaved through the turbulent currents. Along the way, they could clearly feel the resonance of the Chaos Singularity growing ever stronger. Black singularity power surged toward them like a tide, severely suppressing the Origin Power of the Three Envoys. Even Xuan Fu's power as the Universe Talisman Venerable circulated sluggishly.

"The Chaos Origin Point is ahead!" Xuan Fu pointed at a floating golden sphere of light. Countless Primordial Chaos talisman patterns surrounded it; it was the seal of the Chaos Origin Point. Black singularity power was madly eroding the seal's surface. The golden talisman patterns were damaged in many places, and the countdown to the singularity's revival had clearly reached its final stage.

The four did not hesitate and acted at once. Xuan Fu embedded the Primordial Chaos Talisman Key into the Seal Core. The Dao Source Seal and Initial Rune Seal erupted with seven-colored and four-colored light, pouring it into the seal. The Three Envoys activated nirvana, death, and Demonic Contamination Power, forming a black barrier to block the erosion of the singularity's power.

"Using the Primordial Chaos Talisman Key as the guide, undo the seal of the origin point!" Xuan Fu roared, pouring all his Origin Power and Dao Source Power into the talisman key. The golden talisman key Erupted With dazzling light. The Primordial Chaos talisman patterns on the seal rapidly began to turn, and the damaged portions started repairing themselves. The golden sphere slowly opened, revealing a walnut-sized Golden Crystal floating inside—the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core.

The moment the talisman core appeared, it erupted with terrifying Primordial Origin Power, and its resonance with the Chaos Singularity instantly reached its peak. Black singularity power surged madly from every corner of the Initial Realm and Chaos-Desolation, trying to seize the talisman core. The seal of the Chaos Origin Point shook violently, on the verge of collapse.

"Quick, take the talisman core!" Demon Ancestor Luohu howled, burning a portion of his origin to reinforce the black barrier.

Xuan Fu did not hesitate in the slightest. He reached out and grabbed the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core. The instant it entered his hand, it erupted with unimaginable power. Primordial Origin and singularity power Intertwined within the core, frantically battering his Talisman Path Core. Xuan Fu only felt a sharp agony strike him. Cracks appeared once more in the Four-Color Crystal of his talisman body, and golden Talisman Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Suppress it with Dao Source Power, and use the Belief of All Spirits as the foundation!" Xuan Fu gritted his teeth, guiding the seven-colored light of the Dao Source Seal into the talisman core. At the same time, he drew upon the faith power of countless living beings within the Universe Talisman Realm, channeling it through the talisman realm's veins into his body. It formed a solid barrier of belief that suppressed the violent power within the core.

Under the dual suppression of Dao Source Power and the Belief of All Spirits, the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core gradually calmed. Golden light and black singularity power reached a balance, while ancient talisman patterns reading "Primordial Chaos Suppressing Evil" emerged across the core's surface. Xuan Fu could feel that he had gained preliminary control over the core's power. As long as he brought it back to the Universe Talisman Realm, he could use its power to completely sever the resonance between the singularity and the talisman realm, perhaps even seal the Chaos Singularity.

Just then, the seal of the Chaos Origin Point suddenly collapsed completely. From deep within the Dao Source came a world-destroying pressure, and the core of the Chaos Singularity finally revealed itself—a boundless black singularity. No talisman patterns marked its surface. No energy fluctuations emanated from it. Yet it emitted the ultimate rhythm of "devour all things, return to void," even more terrifying than the Absolute Void of the Shadow of the End.

"Not good! The singularity has awakened ahead of time!" Netherworld Ghost Lord's face turned deathly pale, and his Power of Death nearly froze solid.

The black singularity's pull surged in an instant. Xuan Fu and the other three were caught by a tremendous force and dragged swiftly toward it. The surrounding Chaos Streams, Space Barriers, and even light itself were rapidly devoured by the singularity, forming a vast black vortex. Xuan Fu could feel his power as the Universe Talisman Venerable being rapidly absorbed, while the balance in the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core began to destabilize and its Golden Light was gradually swallowed by blackness.

"Burn the talisman core—Break Free from its pull!" Xuan Fu roared. Without the slightest hesitation, he burned a portion of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core's power. Golden Light surged, generating an immense thrust that tore the four of them free from the gravitational pull. Yet burning the core's power also weakened its suppression of the singularity. The black singularity expanded faster once again, spreading toward Chaos-Desolation and the Initial Realm.

"Go! Return to the Universe Talisman Realm!" Xuan Fu turned into a streak of light with the Three Envoys and flew toward the talisman realm. He knew that their only hope now was to embed the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core into the core of the Universe Talisman Realm and use the strength of the talisman realm and the Belief of All Spirits to wage the final battle against the singularity.

When they returned to the talisman realm, the situation was completely out of control. Black marks had entirely covered its surface, and the Defense Runes had wholly collapsed. Chaos-Desolation Qi had almost been completely assimilated by the singularity's power. Daoist Yang Mei and Donghua were at the end of their strength, their Origin Power entirely exhausted, barely able to maintain consciousness. The pillars of belief from the Three Clan Experts and countless living beings had also dimmed, and many beings had already collapsed from exhaustion.

"Fellow Daoist Mystic Talisman, you have returned!" Donghua's voice carried a trace of relief, only to fill with despair the next moment. "The talisman realm cannot hold on much longer!"

Xuan Fu wasted no words and raised the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core high. "All living beings, gather your last strength of belief! With the Universe Talisman Realm as the foundation and the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core as the blade, seal the Chaos Singularity!"

The pillar of the Belief of All Spirits erupted once more. Though faint, it carried an unyielding resolve as it gathered toward the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core. Daoist Yang Mei, Donghua, and the Three Envoys also burned their last remnants of origin, pouring their power into the talisman realm's core. Xuan Fu unleashed all his power as the Universe Talisman Venerable and all his Dao Source Power. The Golden Light of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core surged and fused with the Belief of All Spirits and the talisman realm's power, forming an enormous Golden Talisman Blade that slashed toward the black singularity.

The instant the Golden Talisman Blade collided with the black singularity, the entire Initial Realm, Chaos-Desolation, and Universe Talisman Realm fell into absolute silence. Golden Primordial Power and black singularity power devoured and transformed each other, forming a colossal Energy Vortex. Countless Great Dao laws were torn apart and reassembled, while all space, time, and energy were swept inside.

Xuan Fu could feel the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core's power being rapidly consumed, while the Belief of All Spirits continued to weaken. The black singularity's power far exceeded his imagination. Even with the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core, he could only barely Contend Against it. To seal it completely was almost impossible.

Just then, the Dao Source Seal within Xuan Fu suddenly erupted with brilliant seven-colored light, echoing the Golden Light of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core. The voice of the Lord of the Dao Source came through the seal, bearing majesty and resolve. "Xuan Fu, this Venerable One will lend you a hand! The Dao Source's balance cannot lack a single part. If the Chaos Singularity is destroyed, the Initial Realm will also cease to exist!"

An enormous seven-colored pillar of light came from the depths of the Initial Realm and poured into the Golden Talisman Blade. The blade's power surged instantly. Golden Light suppressed the black singularity's expansion and began slowly sealing it. Xuan Fu rejoiced in his heart and was about to increase his power when he suddenly sensed an even more terrifying aura coming from deep within the black singularity's core.

This aura did not come from the Chaos Singularity itself, but from an even more ancient and mysterious existence. It had been concealed within the Singularity Core, never revealing itself, until the combined assault of the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core and Dao Source Power awakened it at last.

Xuan Fu's Spiritual Sense followed the aura to investigate. Deep within the Singularity Core, he saw a colorless, scentless, formless, immaterial figure slowly awakening. Around it swirled the ultimate rhythm of "Without Beginning or End, neither Dao nor source," making even the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core and Dao Source Power tremble.

"What kind of existence is this?" Xuan Fu's heart was filled with shock and fear. He could feel that this figure's power far surpassed the Lord of the Dao Source and the Chaos Singularity. It was an Ultimate Existence truly standing above all things.

At this time, the Golden Talisman Blade's seal was nearly complete, and the black singularity's expansion had been fully curbed. Yet the awakening of that invisible figure made the situation all the more unfathomable.

Xuan Fu gripped the Primordial Chaos Talisman Core tightly, his heart filled with resolve. He knew that this crisis was far from over. An even more terrifying Ultimate Existence was about to descend, and the fates of him and all worlds would face their final judgment at this moment.

The collision between the Golden Talisman Blade and the black singularity continued. The invisible figure's aura grew ever denser, and the future of chaos and desolation became increasingly unknown.
