Ren Xiaoyao lightly touched the ground with his toes, shattering the Space Cracks, the Star Crystals embedded in the soles of his shoes burst forth with countless fine golden rays. Those Rift, shimmering with an eerie light, turned to dust with a hissing sound, like icicles thrown into a furnace, revealing the dark red void behind them—where thick, blood-like mist churned, and countless distorted faces appeared and disappeared within the mist, emitting shrill cries like those of infants.
A crimson flower suddenly bloomed at his feet, its bowl-sized petals edged with serrated teeth, and black sap gushing from its stamen carried the stench of decaying corpses. Ren Xiaoyao's robes fluttered slightly, and the Chaos Undying Blade was already three inches from its sheath. The heat waves of Principle emanating from the blade erupted like a volcano, instantly melting the flower into purple smoke. Before the smoke could dissipate, it was absorbed by the Tai Chi Symbol patterns flowing on the blade, transforming into specks of light that merged into the blade itself.
"Hmph." Ren Xiaoyao let out a soft snort, and the phantoms of the Four Sacred Beasts unfolded behind him one after another. The White Tiger took the lead, its entire body engulfed in Netherflame that transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long river of fire. Each flame was a dark blue, rhomboid crystal, and wherever it passed, the climbing vines crackled and popped. These vines, formed from the Power of Grudges, had human faces covered on their leaves. At this moment, they twisted and screamed in the flames, their facial features melting into Black Slime, only to be burned to Void by the True Fire before they even touched the ground.
The Azure Dragon followed closely behind, its body undulating and Sky-Rending Strike to reveal a dazzling Star River behind it. Ren Xiaoyao's pupils reflected the brilliance of stars billions of light-years away; each dragon scale refracted different celestial phenomena—the Golden Horn of Aries, the Crimson Sting of Scorpio, and Nebula Mane Nebula of Leo. Where the dragon's tail swept across, the ground cracked open into a thousand-foot-deep chasm, countless white bones floating in the lava. These bones suddenly stood up, wielding rusty swords, forming a neat legion of skeletons.
As the Black Tortoise Barrier unfolded, an ancient, primordial roar echoed from the depths of the earth. Purple acid rain poured down from the sky, each drop containing a Bone Erosion poison. Beneath Ren Xiaoyao's feet, a barrier with Tortoise Shell Patterns appeared. The acid rain struck it, vaporizing instantly like water droplets falling onto a scorching anvil, exploding into shimmering specks of light. Inside the barrier, Ren Xiaoyao saw enormous roots writhing deep underground, their surfaces covered with protrusions shaped like human faces, each face frozen in a terrified expression.
The Qilin Shattering the Void, each step etching golden Heavenly Dao Patterns into the ground. These patterns intertwined, forming a complex Bagua (Eight Trigrams) design. The moment the vines touched the edges of the patterns, they were refined into green light spots, flowing along the patterns into Ren Xiaoyao's meridians. He felt the surging Spiritual Qi within his body, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips—the energy of these Dark Creatures was nothing more than the best tonic before the Chaos Law.
The Black Robed Man hid behind a stone pillar a kilometer away, the Bone Flute at his fingertips gleaming with a bluish-gray light. His face was hidden in the shadow of his hood, with only a writhing tentacle-like growth visible on his chin—a consequence of long-term coexistence with vengeful spirits. The Bone Flute slowly turned towards Ren Xiaoyao, black smoke billowing from its holes, condensing in the air into a hideous ghost face.
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Chaos Undying Blade spun in his hand, creating thirty-six Sword Flower. Each Sword Flower condensed the Chaos Law, with the Yin-Yang Fish faintly visible rotating at Sword Flower center. As the flute music became as piercing as a rusty knife scraping against a bronze bell, the Sword Flower transformed into thirty-six Wheels of Law, hovering in front of Ren Xiaoyao, each wheel engraved with ancient Chaos Script.
"Bang!" The Wheels of Law precisely locked onto the frequency node of the flute's sound. The sound waves emitted by the Bone Flute seemed to crash into an invisible wall, instantly shattering into countless specks of light. The specks of light drifted to the ground and automatically arranged themselves into rows of ancient "Extinction" characters, each character radiating golden light, like stars scattered on the ground.
"A variant of the Sutra of Rebirth?" Ren Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and sneered. Suddenly, the Star Patterns on the Imperial Heaven Ancestral Armor burst forth with dazzling light. Countless miniature Star Map appeared on the surface of the armor, each star a projection of the real universe, containing the endless Creative Power. The ghostly faces that rushed towards him let out shrill screams as soon as they touched the light. Their bodies, like vampires exposed to sunlight, rapidly withered into black ash.
The Black Robed Man was horrified to discover that the Ethereal Green Soulfire that he was supposed to absorb had changed direction as it approached Ren Xiaoyao, flowing into his palm like rivers flowing into the sea. A small Black Hole appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's palm, and the soul fire was sucked into it, transforming into specks of starlight that merged into the Chaos Undying Blade. The Tai Chi Symbol pattern on the blade became even brighter, and the faint phantom of the creation of World Creation could be seen flowing around the blade.
"You think these wronged souls are nourishment for you?" Ren Xiaoyao walked through the air, each step leaving golden Heavenly Dao Footprints in the void. These footprints connected to form a golden road, leading directly to the stone pillar where the Black Robed Man stood. "Before the Chaos Law, all things are mere straw dogs, including this broken flute in your hand."
The Black Robed Man trembled as he unleashed Blood Runes, which coalesced into a grotesque skull pattern in the air, its gaping maw lunging at Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao didn't even raise his sword; he merely flicked his finger, and the Stellar Power his fingertip struck like a meteorite, shattering the runes into dust. The remaining force blasted a bowl-sized hole in the Black Robed Man's chest—it wasn't a physical entity, but a phantom formed from vengeful spirits. At that moment, the vengeful spirits surrounding the hole were rapidly dissipating, transforming into green specks of light that drifted towards Ren Xiaoyao.
The ground suddenly trembled violently, and countless skeletal arms emerged from the ground, each hand gripping a rusty weapon, crawling towards Ren Xiaoyao. At the same time, countless cracks appeared in the ground, from which crawling monsters covered in slime crawled out, their bodies covered with eyes and mouths, emitting terrifying screams.
Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly, and the tortoise shell of the Black Tortoise phantom suddenly expanded to blot out the sky, enveloping all the monsters under the barrier. He stood with his hands behind his back, watching the monsters within the barrier like mosquitoes trapped in amber, each struggle only consuming their own energy. The Chaos Undying Blade automatically floated beside him, its Chaos Law operating on their own, forming a small tornado that sucked in the monsters' putrid stench, refining it into pure Spiritual Qi, which then nourished Ren Xiaoyao's meridians through the Yongquan Acupoint Yongquan the soles of his feet.
"Break for me?" Ren Xiaoyao chuckled. "No, shatter for you." He formed hand seals, and the Stellar Power and the Earth Vein Power flowed like two giant dragons down his arms into the Chaos Undying Blade. The blade instantly expanded to a thousand feet long, no longer in its ordinary iron form, but transformed into a Chaos Pillar of Light that pierced through the heavens and earth. Countless Principle patterns flowed across the surface of the pillar, each representing a cosmic Principle.
Before the blade even touched the monsters, its oppressive aura shattered their bones. The purple Curse vanished within the pillar of light like snow meeting the sun, leaving not a trace. Ren Xiaoyao gently swung his blade, and thousands of monsters were silently reduced to ashes, leaving not even a speck. Only the vengeful spirits of those monsters were gently enveloped by the Chaos Law and sent to the Path of Reincarnation.
Seeing this, the Black Robed Man hurriedly unleashed Sonic Chains. The black sonic waves, as if alive, twisted into chain shapes in the air, wrapping around Ren Xiaoyao. However, the moment the chains touched Ren Xiaoyao, they automatically reversed direction, wrapping around the Black Robed Man's ankle instead. Ren Xiaoyao then looked down at him, his eyes filled with pity. "Before absolute power, any technique is futile."
As the Chaos Domain unfolded, the entire abyss rotated counterclockwise. Under the crushing Power of Principle, all evil energy transformed into the most primordial particles of light, surging into Ren Xiaoyao's body like a pilgrim. He felt his meridians expanding continuously, his power growing rapidly, as if he could shatter a planet with a single punch.
Before the Black Robed Man could utter a panicked cry, he was shattered into molecular-level dust by the Chaos Law. His Bone Flute fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound, transforming into countless points of light that merged into Ren Xiaoyao's Chaos Undying Blade.
After the battle, Ren Xiaoyao strolled towards the Black Crystal. The crystal was a hundred feet tall, its surface covered with intricate Prophecy Patterns, Dao Patterns radiating a ghostly blue light. He gently brushed his fingertips across the patterns, and the runes transformed into specks of light upon contact, merging into his brow. Ren Xiaoyao closed his eyes, countless images flashing through his mind—the rise of the Children of Darkness, the destruction and rebirth of the universe, the ultimate mysteries of the Chaos Law.
As the enormous eye in the void closed, Ren Xiaoyao didn't even bother to turn around. The Chaos Undying Blade in his hand emitted a clear, melodious sound. Within the World Phantoms of the blade, new stars were being born, and old stars were undergoing rebirth. He could feel that he, the blade, and the entire Chaos Universe had become one.
"Children of darkness?" he murmured softly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. "Even darkness itself is nothing more than dust to be purified before the Chaos Law."
Just then, a colossal roar echoed from the deeper Primordial Chaos. The sound was like ten thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously, causing the entire abyss to tremble. Ren Xiaoyao finally looked up, his eyes not filled with fear, but with anticipation—after all, it had been far too long since he had encountered an opponent worthy of serious consideration.
He gripped the Chaos Undying Blade, and suddenly, the roars of Roar of Ten Thousand Beasts echoed through the heavens and earth. The phantoms of the Four Sacred Beasts merged behind him, transforming into a Chaos Giant wielding a Sky-Opening Great Blade. The giant stood ten thousand feet tall, every muscle flowing with the Power of Principle, its eyes shimmering with the light of stars and Primordial Chaos. Ren Xiaoyao's figure flickered within the giant's phantom, yet he seemed taller than ever before—for he was not fighting against darkness, but wielding Primordial Chaos, looking down upon all living beings.
"Come on!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice, like thunder, echoed through the Primordial Chaos. "Let me see how much of a splash you can make!"
The Chaos Giant raised the Sky-Opening Great Blade, its edge imbued with the power of the entire universe. Ahead, a colossal figure emerged from the darkness—a Giant Snake covered in black scales, its coiled body obscuring half the sky. A chilling killing intent flashed in the serpent's eyes as it opened its massive maw and spewed forth a black beam of light, shattering space wherever it passed.
Ren Xiaoyao's lips curled into a smile as the Chaos Giant swung its massive blade to meet the black pillar of light. In an instant, Primordial Chaos and darkness collided, bursting forth with Dazzling Light. The entire universe seemed to freeze at that moment, with only two most primordial forces fiercely battling for dominance over the cosmos.
In this fierce clash, Ren Xiaoyao felt a long-lost excitement. He knew that this battle would determine the fate of the universe. And he, as the wielder of the Chaos Law, would never allow darkness to devour light. He concentrated his mind, pouring all his power into the Chaos Giant, making the Principle patterns on its giant blade even brighter, as if it were about to completely cleave the darkness apart.
The Dark Giant Snake roared, its body swelling as ancient Dark Runes appeared on its scales. It felt unprecedented pressure, but as a child of darkness, it would never easily admit defeat. The two forces clashed fiercely in the void, the aftershocks shattering countless stars and unleashing a massive Primordial Chaos storm.
Ren Xiaoyao stared intently at the Dark Giant Snake, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve. He knew this battle had only just begun, and he was prepared to face any challenge. The Chaos Undying Blade hummed in his hand, as if cheering for the impending final battle. Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, channeling all the Chaos Power within him, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Dark Giant Snake.
At this pivotal moment, Ren Xiaoyao revealed a confident smile. He knew that no matter how powerful the darkness, it would be purified before the Chaos Law. And he, as the representative of Primordial Chaos, would protect the light and hope of this universe. With the final swing of the Chaos Giant's blade, a dazzling light pierced the darkness, illuminating the entire universe...
The shadow of the Chaos Giant was reflected in the pupils of the Dark Giant Snake. Its vertical pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and the black beams of light that shot from its forked tongue condensed in the air into nine Dark Stars. Each star emanated a gravity that devoured everything, and the surrounding space twisted into a bizarre Klein Bottle shape, like tin foil crumpled by an invisible hand. Ren Xiaoyao felt the Power of Principle on the giant blade being pulled; the Primordial Chaos patterns that should have been indestructible rippled in the gravitational field of the Dark Stars, like pebbles thrown into water.
"Interesting." Ren Xiaoyao pressed his tongue against his palate, emitting a clear, melodious whistle. Three hundred and sixty Star Phantoms appeared behind the Chaos Giant, each star corresponding to one of the three hundred and sixty major acupoints on the human body. When the Stellar Power resonated with the Chaos Law, the giant's Sky-Opening Great Blade suddenly split into twelve illusory images, each representing the power of the twelve High Antiquity Twelve Ancestral Shamans — Ju Mang's Law of Wood transformed into a blue vine whip, Zhu Rong's Law of Fire condensed into a crimson chain, Gong Gong's Law of Water coiled into a blue vortex... The twelve illusory images of Principle intertwined into a net, firmly trapping the nine Dark Stars.
The Dark Giant Snake roared in resentment, its body suddenly splitting open with countless fissures, from which emerged densely packed tentacles. The surface of these tentacles was covered with eyeball-like protrusions, each eyeball spraying a dark green corrosive liquid, corroding the space in its path with honeycomb-like holes. Ren Xiaoyao noticed that the movement of these tentacles subtly corresponded to some ancient celestial phenomenon—the long-lost " Seven Kills, Greed Wolf, Breaking the Army " Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions Formation.
"I see." Ren Xiaoyao's voice held a hint of understanding. Suddenly, a third eye split open between the Chaos Giant's brows, and a projection of the Star Map from the Beginning of the Universe appeared in its pupil. The instant the projection overlapped with the Giant, the twelve illusory Principle merged into a Golden Wheel of Light, Light Wheel with all the traces from the birth of galaxies to the rise and fall of civilizations—the vortex of stars collapsing into Black Hole, the first satellite launched by mankind, the energy ripples of Quantum Collider ...
As the Light Wheel spun, the tentacles of the Dark Giant Snake were shredded, and its eyeballs, upon contact with the Light Wheel, revealed expressions of terror. Ren Xiaoyao felt a sharp pain in his mind, and countless fragmented memories suddenly flooded in—he saw himself traversing different Dimensional Spaces, guarding the Chaos Law in different identities: constructing a Principle matrix with gears in Steampunk world, fighting against the Dark Corruption with data streams in Cyberpunk city, and battling the Nine Netherworlds with the Ancestral Witches in the Mythological Era... These memories were so real, yet they carried a sense of vicissitude that transcended time and space.
Seizing the opportunity, the Dark Giant Snake swept its tail across, creating twelve black tornadoes. Countless vengeful spirits swirled within the tornadoes, each face screaming silently. Ren Xiaoyao even saw some familiar faces among them—the afterimages of lives he had saved in different times and spaces, only to be ultimately devoured by the Dark Forces. Rage boiled within him like magma, Chaos Giant's fist suddenly ignited with Golden Flame —the " World-Burning Golden Flames," a fusion of Stellar Radiation and Chaos Energy.
"Shatter!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, unleashing his giant fist. Wherever the fist's force passed, space shattered layer by layer, revealing the surging " Chaos Sea " behind it—a primordial energy ocean that existed even before the universe, where every stream of energy was enacting a cycle of creation and destruction. When the World-Burning Golden Flames came into contact with the black tornado, a strange chemical reaction occurred: the flames transformed into Golden Vines, entangling the tornado and stripping away the vengeful spirits within, sending them to the Purification Channel within the Light Wheel.
The Dark Giant Snake's forked tongue suddenly split, spewing out two completely different streams of energy—one a deep blue of absolute zero, freezing space into hexagonal Ice Crystals wherever it passed; the other a crimson gold from Supernova Explosion, ionizing the air into plasma-like streams of fire. Ren Xiaoyao smiled, the Chaos Giant's hands grasping each of the two streams of energy, the palms displaying rotating patterns of the Yin-Yang Fish. As the hot and cold energies converged in the Tai Chi Symbol, a miniature scene of cosmic collapse was created, countless particles annihilating in the collisions, only to be reborn in the energy surge.
"You think you can trap me with the Two Extremes Law?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was filled with pity. " The Chaos Law are inherently a container that can contain everything." As he spoke, the Tai Chi Symbol suddenly expanded, encompassing the entire body of the Dark Giant Snake. In the world of the Tai Chi Symbol, the Dark Giant Snake's body was constantly Deconstruct and reassembled by the Power of Principle, with each scale undergoing a cycle from entropy increase to entropy decrease.
Sensing the danger, the Dark Giant Snake began to expand wildly, attempting to break through the framework of the Tai Chi Symbol's Principle. Upon seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao formed the Heavenly Dao Cycle Law Seals with his hands, and thirty-six layers of Chaos Barrier appeared behind the Chaos Giant. Each barrier was inscribed with different cosmic Principle, from basic gravity and electromagnetism to advanced Law of Causality and Spacetime Paradox.
"Now, let me show you the true nature of Primordial Chaos," Ren Xiaoyao said softly. The Chaos Giant swung its Sky-Opening Great Blade, slashing at the vital spot of the Dark Giant Snake. The moment the blade sliced through the serpent's scales, it revealed the scene inside—not flesh and blood, but a curled-up Dark Cosmic Embryo, with countless Dark Energy giving birth to a new Black Hole.
Ren Xiaoyao was startled. He realized that this Dark Giant Snake was not a single life form, but a manifestation of the Dark Cosmic Consciousness. Its purpose was to complete the Cosmic Reincarnation by devouring the Light Universe. But at this moment, as the vessel of the Chaos Law, he had already transcended the boundaries of a single universe.
A brilliant and resolute light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Chaos Giant, as if the power of the entire Chaos World was gathering under his gaze. He took a deep breath, and the Chaos Power in his body surged like a raging torrent, continuously pouring into the Sky-Opening Great Blade.
As the Chaos Power was injected, the blade of the Sky-Opening Great Blade began to tremble slightly, and the Principle patterns on it slowly unfolded like an ancient beast being awakened. These Principle patterns resonated with the Chaos Sea in a strange way, like the echo of strings and music, intertwining and merging with each other.
As the Chaos Giant Sky-Opening Great Blade, preparing to unleash its decisive blow, the entire Chaos Sea seemed to sense the terrifying power of this force, unleashing towering waves. Every drop of seawater, stirred by this power, transformed into Seeds of Law cleaved the World Creation. Like meteors, they streaked across the void of the dark universe, hurtling straight toward the core of the Dark Cosmic Embryo.
The Dark Giant Snake let out its final lament, a sound like a death knell echoing through the Chaos Sea. However, this lament could not stop the advance of the Seeds of Law; like a group of fearless warriors, they relentlessly pierced through the Dark Giant Snake's body.
The body of the Dark Giant Snake instantly disintegrated under the impact of the Seeds of Law, transforming into countless points of light that merged into the Chaos Sea. The originally malevolent Dark Energy began to gradually transform under the influence of the Seeds of Law. It was no longer pure darkness, but gradually transformed into neutral Chaos Particles, becoming the cornerstone of the Cosmic Reconstruction.
Ren Xiaoyao stood quietly to the side, witnessing all of this unfold. He could clearly feel that the Chaos Law within his body had reached a new balance with the entire multiverse. This balance was not simply static, but a dynamic and vibrant one, as if the entire universe had been reborn at this moment.
After the battle, the Chaos Giant gradually dissipated, and Ren Xiaoyao stood once again in the energy tides of the Chaos Sea. He gazed at the Chaos Undying Blade in his hand, its blade slowly retracting into Three-Foot Green Peak Sword, the Tai Chi Symbol patterns shimmering with the faint light of a newly formed universe. In the distance, the Broken Space was healing itself, and the nascent forms of new star systems were faintly visible in the Primordial Chaos.
He knew that darkness had never truly disappeared, just as light could not exist independently. But the meaning of the Chaos Law was never to eliminate opposition, but to allow everything to achieve a dynamic balance through collision and fusion. Ren Xiaoyao gently stroked the blade, a relieved smile appearing on his lips—when darkness descends again, he will still be the Guardians standing at the boundary between Primordial Chaos and order.
