The entire Chaos Origin Stone was a dull gray. Its surface had no luster, no spiritual energy flowed through it, and not a trace of Dao Resonance escaped. It looked like an ordinary discarded rock, with nothing to suggest it was rare.
Li Tianba glanced over it, his brow lifting slightly in puzzlement.
Even with the insight of someone at Primordial Taiji Perfection, he could not sense the stone's Origin aura at all. It might as well have been a worthless common rock.
But he dismissed his doubts at once. Deep down, he was certain.
The Dao Venerable wielded two Supreme Great Daos. His vision reached beyond the heavens, and his schemes were unmatched. He would never have bestowed a pile of useless stones for no reason.
This stone looked ordinary, but it had to conceal something extraordinary.
Before Li Tianba could think further, Zhang Feng stepped forward. Power of the Great Dao stirred around him, light flashed at his fingertip, and he gently touched the stone's surface.
Crack!
The ancient Chaos Shackles encasing the stone shattered and fell apart layer by layer!
In the next instant, vast, primordial Dao Resonance from the Chaos Origin burst forth!
An exquisitely pure Origin aura from the dawn of Chaos swept through the entire Li Family hall. Strands of Dao Resonance seeped into every inch of space, warm and rich, cleansing the Dao Foundation. Its quality far surpassed that of any treasure native to the Sin Domain!
The instant that Chaos Origin entered his body, Li Tianba jolted in his seat of honor. His pupils contracted, and utter shock flooded his face!
He could clearly feel the invisible shackles wrapped tight around his Dao Foundation and soul—the shackles born of the Dao Prison that had barred every cultivator's path to advancement for ages.
