The "Stone" the Senior Offered Was Actually Condensed Chaos Energy?

The moment the Origin Qi Condensation merged into his Dantian, Lin Yue felt a violent yet pure energy explode within him, far more intense than any Chaos Qi he had absorbed before. He hurriedly activated the Chaos Vortex, trying to guide the energy into orderly flow, but the energy was too turbulent; the vortex was instantly shaken violently, and tearing pain shot through his meridians.

"Damn it!" Lin Yue's heart tightened. Remembering Senior Pangu's earlier advice to "guide it slowly," he quickly composed himself, stopped forcibly suppressing the energy, and instead wrapped the energy mass with his intent, letting it flow slowly along his meridians like a stream winding around rocks rather than a flood bursting a dam.

This method worked indeed. As the energy flowed slowly, the pain in his meridians gradually eased, the Dantian vortex stabilized again, and began absorbing the energy at a measured pace. Lin Yue could clearly sense the vortex's color shifting from deep green to gold, and the fusion of the Law of Space and the Law of Life was accelerating—vitality energy that previously could only cling to barriers could now follow Spatial Teleportation, automatically repairing damage sustained during the teleportation process.

"This Origin Qi Condensation is incredible!" Lin Yue couldn't help but marvel. He could feel his strength skyrocketing; the Dantian vortex spun faster and faster, his Spatial Perception range expanded to thirty zhang, teleportation distance reached ten zhang, and he could even leave behind a "Spatial Afterimage" after teleporting to confuse enemies.

Halfway through absorption, Lin Yue suddenly discovered that the Origin Qi Condensation also contained a faint trace of the "Law of Heaven Opening"—a law he had never encountered before, carrying an aura of "creation" and "order," completely different from Chaos's "disorder." The moment the Law of Heaven Opening touched the Dantian vortex, it triggered a violent resonance; the Laws of Space and Life seemed to find their core, rapidly spinning around the Law of Heaven Opening, forming a stable "Law Triangle."

"This... is this a sign of breakthrough?" Lin Yue was both shocked and delighted. He could feel the Dantian vortex surging toward "High-level Chaos"; if he succeeded, his strength would skyrocket, allowing him to barely handle attacks from low-level Demon Gods.

He dared not get distracted, channeling all his energy to assault the bottleneck. The Origin Qi Condensation's energy acted like fuel, continuously pouring into the vortex; the Law Triangle spun faster and faster, distorting the surrounding space, and even fine Spatial Rifts appeared in the valley's puddles.

Just at the critical moment of breakthrough, a violent energy fluctuation erupted from outside; the valley's halo dimmed instantly, and a familiar Demon God aura approached—a low-level Demon God, drawn by the chaotic energy, had stumbled near the valley.

"Not good!" Lin Yue's heart sank. The breakthrough was at its most crucial point; he couldn't interrupt it, or not only would the breakthrough fail, but his foundation would also be damaged.

Just then, a beam of golden light shot in from outside, piercing through the valley's halo in an instant and striking the approaching Demon God. The Demon God let out a miserable shriek and turned to ash on the spot. The golden light didn't linger; it circled the valley's halo once, and the halo instantly brightened, becoming even more solid than before.

"Senior!" Lin Yue's eyes burned with warmth, knowing Senior Pangu was protecting him from the shadows. He hesitated no longer, pouring all his strength into guiding the energy, and finally, under the golden light's protection, he successfully broke through the bottleneck—the Dantian vortex fully turned gold, the Law Triangle stabilized, and the fusion of Space and Life Laws reached a new height.

The moment the breakthrough succeeded, Lin Yue felt his body brimming with power. His Spatial Perception range expanded to fifty zhang; he could now condense five Space Blades simultaneously, teleport up to fifteen zhang, and form a "Space Vitality Barrier" in front of him that fused life energy, greatly enhancing defense and repair capabilities.

He stood up and bowed deeply toward the outside: "Thank you, Senior!"

After bowing, Lin Yue began studying the remaining Origin Qi Condensation in his hand. He realized that its essence was similar to the Chaos Qi Condensation he had absorbed before—both were condensed from Chaos Qi, only this was purer and contained the Law of Heaven Opening. It suddenly dawned on him that the "stones" Senior Pangu had handed him earlier were all Chaos Qi Condensation, just with different purity and laws contained.

"Senior truly put his heart into this." Lin Yue's heart was filled with gratitude. Knowing that Lin Yue had no Chaos Origin and struggled in cultivation, the senior had repeatedly gifted him precious Chaos Qi Condensation, even going so far as to use Origin Qi, just so he could survive in Chaos.

He carefully stored the remaining Origin Qi Condensation, deciding to save it for his next breakthrough. Then, he took out the Space Leaf and Spiritual Root Fragment to consolidate his post-breakthrough realm. Under the Origin Qi's enhancement, the Space Leaf emitted a dazzling green light, its Law of Space patterns clearer; the Spiritual Root Fragment, bathed in the puddle's vitality energy, slowly released the Law of Life, resonating with the Law Triangle inside him.

After consolidating his realm, Lin Yue stepped out of the valley to see if the chaos outside had subsided. The Chaos Airflow outside was still violent, but much calmer than before; the Demon Gods' roars and the clashes of laws had also weakened. He could sense Senior Pangu's aura not far away—though somewhat weakened, still powerful.

"Senior should be back soon." Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't approach recklessly but set up several Space Barriers around the valley, and using the Law of Life, planted a few moss samples taken from the rock wall around the area—the moss could sense energy fluctuations nearby; if danger approached, it would emit a faint glow, serving as a natural early warning system.

After doing all this, Lin Yue returned to the valley and continued his cultivation. He knew that although the chaos was nearing its end, the structure of Chaos was about to change, and more challenges lay ahead. He had to seize this time to improve his strength as much as possible, preparing for the coming changes.
