The purple Primordial Chaos Fire and the golden Origin Power intertwined, forming a resilient bond of balance at the center of the Energy Vortex. Xuan Fu could clearly feel that the Mysterious Aura had not departed. Instead, it had transformed into invisible veins that linked the Chaos-Desolation Qi, the Initial Realm, and even the dissipated Power of Formlessness, as if weaving a vast web spanning the Myriad Daos. The purple torrent of Belief of All Spirits had not dried up. Under the guidance of the Mysterious Aura, it instead resonated with the Dao Source Power and the Primordial Origin, causing the light of the Primordial Chaos Fire to grow ever more brilliant.

"This aura is guiding the fusion of the Myriad Daos, not their destruction." The Dao Source Lord's multicolored curtain of light was no longer taut. Its seven-colored radiance flowed along the invisible veins, nourishing the Primordial Chaos Fire as they mutually sustained each other. "It is borrowing your power and mine to temper the true Path of Primordial Chaos. All the crises before this were preparations for the formation of Primordial Chaos."

Xuan Fu's heart suddenly opened with enlightenment. From the Demonic Contamination Power of Demon Ancestor Luohu to the Power of Death of the Netherworld Ghost Lord, from the Absolute Void of the Shadow of the End to the Power of Formlessness of the Lord of Formlessness, and then to the revival of the Chaos Singularity, every crisis had forced the Myriad Daos to break through their own limitations, ultimately converging into the Primordial Chaos Fire in his hands. And that Mysterious Aura was precisely the force pushing everything from behind the scenes—the Origin Will of the Path of Primordial Chaos.

"Since they were preparations, I'll go with the flow and complete the Primordial Unity!" Xuan Fu no longer resisted the pull of the Mysterious Aura. He fully unfurled the Primordial Unity Talisman, and the purple talisman transformed into an endless curtain of light, shrouding the Energy Vortex, the Initial Realm, and the Chaos-Desolation Qi. Countless talisman patterns danced within the curtain. There were imprints of all spirits from the Chaos-Desolation Qi, law talismans from the Dao Source, and residual shadows of the powers of Formlessness, the End, and the Singularity. Every existence was brought within the scope of the Path of Primordial Chaos.

Daoist Yang Mei, Donghua, and the others sensed the gentleness of the curtain and poured their remaining Origin Power into it one after another. The Wood Spirit Power transformed into veins of vitality, the Power of Space constructed the structural framework, and the Three Clans' Origin Power became energy pillars. The Three Envoys' powers of annihilation, death, and demonic contamination transformed into the "destruction" branch of the Path of Primordial Chaos, forming a balance with the "creation" branch. The myriad spirits within the Universe Talisman Realm also responded one after another. Their power of belief followed the veins of the curtain, becoming the most vibrant nourishment for the Path of Primordial Chaos.

The Mysterious Aura seemed quite satisfied with everything. The invisible veins accelerated, drawing all the power toward the center of the vortex. The purple radiance of the Primordial Chaos Fire and the golden Origin Power completely fused, transforming into a dazzling pillar of purple-gold light that pierced through heaven and earth. Wherever the pillar passed, the damaged Space Barriers rapidly repaired themselves, the disordered laws returned to order, and the Chaos-Desolation Qi and Dao Source Power transformed into each other, forming a completely new "Primordial Chaos Qi." It was purer and more inclusive than any energy before it.

Just as the Path of Primordial Chaos was about to fully take shape, the Energy Vortex suddenly shook violently. From deep within the Initial Realm came the roars of countless Dao Source Beings. Clearly, they were unwilling to be incorporated into the Path of Primordial Chaos and lose their dominance over the Initial Realm. Countless Dao Source talismans surged out of the Initial Realm and slammed into the pillar of purple-gold light, attempting to interrupt the formation of Primordial Chaos.

"Dao Source Beings, you're stubbornly refusing to see reason!" The Dao Source Lord's voice carried majesty. The multicolored curtain of light expanded explosively, blocking the attack of the Dao Source talismans. "The Path of Primordial Chaos is not devouring, but symbiosis. If the Initial Realm insists on resisting, it will ultimately be eliminated by the Myriad Daos!"

But the Dao Source Beings did not heed the warning. Instead, they burned their Origin Power and condensed it into an enormous Dao Source Spear, stabbing toward the core of the pillar of purple-gold light. This spear contained the core power of the Initial Realm and carried the profound meaning of "forced ordering." Once it struck, it would certainly throw the Path of Primordial Chaos out of balance, or even cause it to collapse completely.

A trace of resolve flashed through Xuan Fu's eyes. He did not choose to resist head-on. Instead, he pushed the "destruction" branch of the Primordial Unity Talisman to its limit. The Origin Power of the Three Envoys fused with the residual shadows of the Singularity, the End, and Formlessness, forming a black Destruction Talisman Blade that slashed toward the Dao Source Spear. The instant the talisman blade and the spear collided, the black and multicolored radiance annihilated each other, and the enormous Energy Shockwave threw the surrounding Primordial Chaos Qi into disarray.

"Take symbiosis as the foundation and dissolve resistance!" Xuan Fu did not pursue the attack. Instead, he activated the "creation" branch of the Path of Primordial Chaos. Countless Life Talisman Runes surged from the pillar of purple-gold light and flew toward the Initial Realm. These runes were not attacks. They carried the symbiotic rhythm of the Path of Primordial Chaos, attempting to make the Dao Source Beings understand that Primordial Chaos was not a threat, but an evolution to a higher level.

The Dao Source Beings' attacks gradually slowed. Clearly, they had sensed the goodwill of the Life Talisman Runes. Some Dao Source Beings set aside their hostility and injected their Origin Power into the pillar of purple-gold light, becoming part of the Path of Primordial Chaos. Yet stubborn factions continued to gather their strength, attempting to destroy the formation of Primordial Chaos.

The Dao Source Lord watched all this with a trace of helplessness in his eyes before finally making his decision. "Those who remain obstinate will be expelled from the Initial Realm!" The multicolored curtain of light expanded explosively, forcibly driving the stubborn Dao Source Beings out of the Initial Realm and exiling them to the edge of chaos. With the departure of the stubborn factions, the Initial Realm's resistance vanished completely. Its Dao Source Power poured into the pillar of purple-gold light at full force, and the formation of the Path of Primordial Chaos accelerated once more.

Xuan Fu could feel his talisman body undergoing an entirely new transformation. A purple-gold crystal had replaced the four-colored and three-colored crystals from before. The talisman patterns on its surface were simple to the extreme, yet contained all the mysteries of the Myriad Daos. His Spiritual Sense was no longer confined to the Chaos-Desolation Qi and the Initial Realm. It had expanded to every region covered by the Path of Primordial Chaos, allowing him to clearly sense the flow of every strand of Primordial Chaos Qi and the beliefs of every living being.

The instant the Path of Primordial Chaos fully took shape, the Mysterious Aura once again transmitted a wave of will. This time, it was no longer vague, but a clear directive: "With Primordial Chaos newly formed, you must seek the 'Heart of Myriad Daos' to stabilize it. The Heart of Myriad Daos lies within the Space-Time Rift. That place is the Space-Time Origin Point from before the birth of the Myriad Daos, and it contains the purest Primordial Origin."

After the wave of will dissipated, a space-time coordinate was imprinted into Xuan Fu's Spiritual Sense. It was precisely the location of the Space-Time Rift. Xuan Fu could feel that the Heart of Myriad Daos was crucial to the Path of Primordial Chaos. If he could find it and merge it into the path, the Path of Primordial Chaos would become completely stable and no longer be affected by any external force. If he could not find it, the Path of Primordial Chaos might gradually fall apart over time.

"I'm going to find the Heart of Myriad Daos!" Xuan Fu did not hesitate in the slightest. He temporarily entrusted control of the Path of Primordial Chaos to the Dao Source Lord and Daoist Yang Mei. "Guard the Path of Primordial Chaos for me and maintain order in the Chaos-Desolation Qi and the Initial Realm. I'll be back soon."

The Dao Source Lord nodded. The multicolored curtain of light merged with the Path of Primordial Chaos, becoming Primordial Chaos's guardian of "order." Daoist Yang Mei, Donghua, and the others also expressed their determination one after another. They would guard the Path of Primordial Chaos with all their strength and ensure the safety of all spirits.

Xuan Fu said nothing more. He activated the power of Primordial Chaos, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light that flew toward the space-time coordinates in his Spiritual Sense. The Space-Time Rift lay at the junction of chaos, the Initial Realm, and the Realm of Formlessness. It was an exceptionally dangerous region. The laws of space-time here were utterly chaotic, with the past, present, and future intertwined. Countless fragments of space-time flew about like blades, and the slightest carelessness would send one into the Space-Time Turbulence, where escape would be impossible forever.

During the flight, Xuan Fu encountered countless space-time illusions: scenes of him struggling to survive in chaos, images of his battles with Demon Ancestor Luohu and the Netherworld Ghost Lord, and terrifying visions of the future collapse of the Path of Primordial Chaos. These illusions tried to confuse his mind and make him abandon his search for the Heart of Myriad Daos. But Xuan Fu's will was firm and unmoved. He activated the power of Primordial Chaos and dispelled every illusion one by one.

When he reached the Core Area of the Space-Time Rift, Xuan Fu finally saw the Heart of Myriad Daos. It was a crystal sphere floating at the Space-Time Origin Point. Completely transparent, it contained countless tiny specks of light within it. Each speck represented a Great Dao World—the very epitome of the Myriad Daos. The crystal sphere radiated pure Primordial Origin and resonated with Xuan Fu's Path of Primordial Chaos, causing his talisman body to tremble involuntarily.

Just as Xuan Fu was preparing to reach out and take the Heart of Myriad Daos, the Space-Time Rift suddenly shook violently. Countless black Space-Time Rifts surged out from all around, and a familiar aura came from within them—it was the Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness! Clearly, the Lord of Formlessness had not completely dissipated. Instead, he had hidden within the Space-Time Rift, waiting for a chance to seize the Heart of Myriad Daos.

"Xuan Fu, though I lost, I can exist eternally within the Space-Time Rift!" The Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness transformed into a stream of black energy and lunged toward the Heart of Myriad Daos. "As long as I seize the Heart of Myriad Daos, I can reconstruct the Realm of Formlessness and completely devour the Path of Primordial Chaos!"

Xuan Fu's heart jolted. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the power of Primordial Chaos and condensed it into a purple-gold talisman blade, slashing toward the black stream of energy. The instant the talisman blade collided with the energy, the purple-gold and black radiance annihilated each other. The laws of the Space-Time Rift grew even more chaotic, and countless fragments of space-time crashed toward them.

The Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness was exceptionally cunning. It did not clash with Xuan Fu head-on, instead using the cover of the Space-Time Turbulence to draw continually closer to the Heart of Myriad Daos. Although Xuan Fu's strength far surpassed his opponent's, he could not unleash his full power amid the chaotic laws of space-time. He could only barely hold the opponent back and was unable to completely destroy him.

"Use Primordial Chaos as the foundation and set the order of space-time!" Xuan Fu roared as he channeled part of the power of the Path of Primordial Chaos into the Space-Time Rift. The purple-gold radiance surged, and the chaotic laws of space-time began to rapidly return to order. The fragments of space-time stopped flying, the Space-Time Turbulence gradually calmed, and the Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness lost its cover and was exposed before Xuan Fu.

"No! You can't set space-time in order!" The Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness let out a terrified roar and attempted to flee into the Space-Time Rift again, only to discover that the rifts had already been sealed by the power of Primordial Chaos.

Xuan Fu gave him no chance. The purple-gold talisman blade slashed out once more, completely severing the Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness. The remnant soul rapidly melted in the purple-gold radiance, ultimately transforming into a strand of pure Power of Formlessness. It was absorbed by the Path of Primordial Chaos and became part of the "destruction" branch.

After resolving the Remnant Soul of the Lord of Formlessness, Xuan Fu finally arrived before the Heart of Myriad Daos. He reached out and carefully took hold of the crystal sphere. The moment the Heart of Myriad Daos entered his hand, it transformed into a transparent streak of light and merged into his Talisman Path Core. A vast Primordial Origin erupted instantly. Xuan Fu's strength broke through once more, reaching the realm of the Primordial Supreme. The Path of Primordial Chaos also became completely stable, radiating an unbreakable might.

Just as Xuan Fu was preparing to return to the Chaos-Desolation Qi, his Spiritual Sense suddenly caught an extremely faint yet strangely bizarre aura from the deepest part of the Space-Time Rift. This aura did not come from within the Myriad Daos, but from the "Void Shore" beyond space-time. It carried the ultimate rhythm of "transcending space-time and escaping beyond Primordial Chaos," causing even his power of Primordial Chaos to tremble involuntarily.

Xuan Fu's heart tightened, and he followed the aura to investigate. Beyond space-time, he saw an endless black curtain of light slowly unfurling. There was no energy fluctuation within the curtain, yet it could cause space-time itself to freeze. Clearly, it was an unknown power far beyond the Path of Primordial Chaos.

At the edge of the black curtain of light, Xuan Fu saw a familiar figure. It was the Golden Flame Unifier, who had previously chosen to become the one behind the schemes. At this moment, he had become a puppet of the black curtain of light, his eyes vacant as he flew toward the Space-Time Rift. Clearly, he had come to seek the Heart of Myriad Daos and corrupt the Path of Primordial Chaos.

Xuan Fu tightened his grip on the Primordial Unity Talisman, his heart filled with resolve. He knew that a challenge far more terrifying than all the crises before it had silently descended. The unknown power of the Void Shore and the controlled Oneness Practitioner would both become enormous threats to the Path of Primordial Chaos.

What alarmed him even more was that, deep within his Spiritual Sense, the master of the Mysterious Aura seemed to have also sensed the existence of the black curtain of light. It sent out a grave wave of will, clearly indicating that this unknown power had exceeded even its expectations.

An ultimate adventure concerning the survival of the Path of Primordial Chaos had quietly begun at the edge of the Space-Time Rift.
