Chaos Qi Flow is Turbulent, Must Find a Safer Place

When the Heaven Opening Axe swung down for its second strike, Chaos completely erupted into a frenzy. The separation of clear and turbid energies accelerated, and the nascent form of heaven and earth became increasingly distinct. However, this also triggered a more violent "Chaos Storm"—a black tempest that raged like a colossal dragon. Wherever it passed, even Pangu's golden Guardian Shield trembled violently, the cracks in its faint light barrier expanding, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Lin Yue's Space Vitality Domain was like a small boat in a stormy sea within the tempest. Its pale green halo flickered, and the efficiency of its Vitality Cycle was significantly reduced by the storm's interference. He could feel that the Chaos Qi outside the domain was mixed with a large number of "law fragments." These fragments contained the violent energy of Heaven Opening and continuously impacted the domain, leaving behind cracks of varying depths. Even with the Chaos Little Light Orbs repairing them, it was difficult to keep up with the rate of damage.

"This won't do; the Guardian Shield won't last much longer!" Lin Yue's heart tightened, and he activated his spatial perception. Within a two-hundred-zhang radius, the Chaos Storm's intensity far exceeded his expectations. Only a "Chaos Rock Cave" located deep within the Chaos appeared relatively safe. Natural spatial turbulence surrounded the cave, capable of blocking most of the storm's impact. Inside, there was also a small amount of residual Order Energy from Heaven Opening, which could stabilize the Chaos Qi.

He quickly looked at Pangu and found that the Senior was fully focused on controlling the Heaven Opening Axe, preparing to strike the third blow, unable to be distracted for the moment. Lin Yue gritted his teeth and made a decision—he would first take Kong Yu to the Chaos Rock Cave and return to the Senior's side after the storm weakened. He knew this was a risky decision, but staying put would only lead to them being swallowed by the storm.

Lin Yue activated the Vitality Cycle, shrinking his Spatial Domain to its smallest size, and simultaneously released all the Chaos Little Light Orbs to form a "Light Rain Shield," protecting the core of the domain. He controlled the domain, moving with difficulty towards the Chaos Rock Cave through the gaps in the storm. With every ten feet he moved, he endured violent impacts from the storm, and the cracks in his domain widened further. Kong Yu also became somewhat transparent due to excessive energy consumption.

"Hold on, we're almost there!" Lin Yue said to Kong Yu, while simultaneously increasing the injection of vitality energy to help Kong Yu recover.

Finally, after paying the price of nearly half his domain being damaged, Lin Yue successfully reached the Chaos Rock Cave. The spatial turbulence outside the cave indeed played its part; the storm's intensity significantly decreased. He quickly guided his domain into the cave. The Order Energy within the cave instantly enveloped the domain, greatly reducing the impact he had felt earlier. The cracks in the domain also began to slowly heal under the nourishment of the Order Energy.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the cave floor, gasping for air. Kong Yu weakly landed on his shoulder, its wings gently fluttering as if expressing relief at their narrow escape. He checked the status of his domain—although severely damaged, the core law triangle and Vitality Cycle were still functioning. With a little repair, most of its functions could be restored.

"Glad I found this place," Lin Yue thought thankfully, while simultaneously activating his spatial perception to monitor Pangu's direction. He could sense that the Senior's Heaven Opening Axe was still striking, the separation of clear and turbid energies becoming more thorough, and the nascent form of heaven and earth becoming clearer. However, the storm's intensity had not weakened at all; instead, it showed signs of intensifying.

"Looks like I'll be staying in the cave for a while," Lin Yue decided and began repairing his Spatial Domain. He channeled the energy from the Vitality Cycle, combined with the Order Energy from the cave, to slowly mend the domain's cracks. At the same time, he integrated the Chaos Little Light Orbs into the domain to enhance its defense. Kong Yu also helped from the side, using its own spatial energy to guide the Order Energy, accelerating the repair process.

During this time, Lin Yue did not neglect his cultivation. He utilized the Order Energy within the cave to deepen the fusion of the three laws—the orderly attribute of the Law of Heaven Opening made the fusion of the Law of Space and the Law of Life more stable; the flexible attribute of the Law of Space made the application of the Law of Heaven Opening more fluid; and the nourishing attribute of the Law of Life significantly reduced the consumption of the other two laws. The three laws interlocked like gears, their operational efficiency increasing, and his cultivation also slowly improved, bringing him closer to the middle stage of Early True Immortal.

One day, as Lin Yue was repairing his domain, he suddenly felt the intensity of the storm outside the cave weaken. He activated his spatial perception and discovered that Pangu's Heaven Opening Axe had stopped striking, the nascent form of heaven and earth was mostly stable, and the clear and turbid energies were no longer separating violently.

"Heaven Opening... is temporarily over?" Lin Yue rejoiced inwardly and quickly accelerated the repair of his domain. He knew this was the best time to return to Senior Pangu's side. He had to repair his domain as quickly as possible to catch up with the subsequent progress of Heaven Opening.
