Ch. 2901Divine Tribulation Descends, Chaos Erupts in the Void Realm (IV)
Chapter Summary
Key Plot Points and Events
- As the shadow solidifies, the pressure on Jiang Liu intensifies. However, the Chaos Law Source Power within him begins circulating more efficiently, while his previously dormant Ancestral Bone Runes awaken and shield him.
- Jiang Liu realizes that the true enemy of the Chaos God Clan was not the Annihilation Devil Race, but the mysterious force represented by the shadow. The Chaos Law Source Power, Chaos Divine Axe, and Chaos Three-Piece Set all instinctively reject and oppose it.
- He concludes that the shadow is a projection sent by an immensely powerful being—likely because Jiang Liu is approaching the Lord God Realm, or more accurately, the Forbidden Main God Realm. The Void Realm cannot contain the entity’s true body, forcing it to descend only as a projection.
- Jiang Liu attacks with the Chaos Divine Axe, amplified by the Chaos Token. Although the shadow blocks his attacks with apparent ease, Jiang Liu notices that its power is gradually weakening.
- He deduces that the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao still exists within the chaotic void. Rather than restraining the realm’s inhabitants, it appears to be suppressing or limiting the force behind the shadow.
- Their battle is projected across every Star Domain, alarming the inhabitants of the Void Realm. Many suspect that the conflict is responsible for the sudden disruption of Laws and the widespread chaos.
- Zou Yan observes the battle from the Eternal Domain and realizes that the “Divine Tribulation” he once foresaw has arrived. His previous deduction suggested that a Forbidden Main God exists beyond the ordinary Main God Realm and that this being has descended to stop Jiang Liu’s breakthrough.
- Zou Yan speculates that the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao may be preventing the Forbidden Main God’s true body from entering.
Character Developments
- Jiang Liu: Gains a clearer understanding of his enemy and the nature of his impending breakthrough. Though aware of his own inferiority against the projection, he retains his courage and fighting spirit. He also discovers that his incomplete divine body and imperfect fusion of Chaos Void Law Source Power are limiting his strength.
- Zou Yan: Reinterprets his earlier prophetic deductions. He recognizes that Jiang Liu’s breakthrough is not toward the ordinary Main God Realm, but toward the Forbidden Main God Realm, and identifies the shadow as a likely Forbidden Main God projection.
- The Shadow/Forbidden Main God: Demonstrates overwhelming power and remains calm under Jiang Liu’s attacks, but its strength is gradually reduced by the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao and Jiang Liu’s resistance.
Significant Themes
- Defiance against overwhelming power: Jiang Liu’s courage allows him to fight despite facing an enemy vastly beyond his current level.
- Cosmic opposition and destiny: Jiang Liu’s cultivation path has placed him in direct conflict with an ancient, forbidden existence.
- Hidden order within chaos: Although the Void Realm appears lawless and disordered, the Heavenly Dao still exists and quietly enforces its own restrictions.
- Incomplete power and impending evolution: Jiang Liu’s inability to fully wield his strength reflects his unfinished transformation, while the battle foreshadows a major breakthrough.
- Revelation of the true enemy: The chapter shifts the larger conflict away from the Annihilation Devil Race toward the mysterious force behind the shadow.
Character Interactions
- Jiang Liu vs. the Shadow: Their battle is the chapter’s central interaction. Jiang Liu attacks relentlessly with the Chaos Divine Axe, while the shadow blocks him and exerts immense pressure. Through the clash, Jiang Liu discovers that the shadow is weakening.
- Jiang Liu and the Chaos Law Source Power/Chaos Three-Piece Set: These powers react instinctively to the shadow with intense hostility, confirming their connection to the deeper conflict.
- Zou Yan and Jiang Liu: Though they do not interact directly, Zou Yan watches Jiang Liu’s battle and interprets it through his earlier divinations, gaining a new understanding of Jiang Liu’s destiny.
- The Shadow and the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao: The Heavenly Dao appears to restrict the shadow’s power and prevent its true body from descending, creating an unseen force supporting Jiang Liu.
