Before the last ray of light from Ren Xiaoyao's Chaos Undying Blade had completely dissipated, the void suddenly cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns.
The crack was like a curtain of reality torn open by an invisible giant hand, from which dark purple mist seeped out. Each wisp of mist twisted wildly, like thousands of vengeful spirits struggling and howling in the Primordial Chaos.
Wherever the mist passed, oily ripples appeared in the space, and even the viscous water of the Chaos Sea was corroded into holes that emitted bluish smoke.
The Chaos Crystal suspended in the distance was eroded by the mist, and its surface was quickly covered with spider web-like cracks, bursting out with sharp cracking sounds, turning into dust and scattering in the Primordial Chaos wind.
These dust particles suddenly ignited in mid-air, rising into Ghostly Blue Flame. Countless twisted symbols emerged from the flames, as if writing an ancient Curse.
The flames crackled and popped as they burned, forming Ancient Demons script. "Those who defy the Heavenly Dao will surely suffer eternal damnation," each word exuding a chilling killing intent.
As the Demonic Script appeared, the entire Chaos Sea suddenly boiled violently. Countless Black Tentacles burst forth from the seabed, waving wildly in the air. The surface of the tentacles was covered with suckers, each of which greedily devoured the surrounding Chaos Energy, leaving behind streaks of dark corrosion wherever it went.
Human faces began to emerge from the tips of those tentacles, their distorted features opening and closing repeatedly, emitting a shrill, mocking laugh, " Ren Xiaoyao, you can't escape!"
At the same time, the dark purple mist suddenly condensed into a huge ghost face, with Nether-Green Ghost Fire flickering in its empty eye sockets. It spat out a stream of mist carrying black lightning at Ren Xiaoyao, and wherever it passed, space twisted violently as if it were boiling oil.
Lightning struck the Chaos Crystal beside Ren Xiaoyao, instantly blasting it into dust. A mocking smile appeared on the ghost face's lips, and the ghost fire in its eye sockets burned even brighter.
From the depths of the Chaos Sea rose a hundred-foot-tall black Thunder Clouds, its churning waves emitting a deafening roar, like the howl of an ancient behemoth.
Countless electric arcs intertwined and coalesced into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky.
The giant hand's skin was composed of distorted Space-time Folds, each fold constantly opening and closing, as if countless eyes were secretly watching.
The palm lines were densely packed with ancient, God-Slaying Curses. Each Dao Patterns emitted a chilling, eerie blue light. As the runes flowed, the wails of countless Gods and Devils could be faintly heard. The sounds were like souls imprisoned in the Abyss of Nine Nether, carrying a despair and resentment that pierced the soul.
With each flicker of the incantation's light, a massive shadow was cast across the sea. Within the shadow, countless illusory figures were being torn apart by an invisible force. Their twisted limbs drew crimson streaks in the air, which turned to ashes before dissipating. As they drifted away in the wind, they reformed into new vengeful phantoms.
These phantoms coalesced into a blood-red cloud, emitting a chilling, shrill laugh. The laughter was mixed with the curses of countless wronged souls, which burrowed into Ren Xiaoyao's mind like venomous snakes, attempting to disturb his concentration.
Blood Cloud suddenly transformed into a gigantic ghost face, swooping down towards Ren Xiaoyao, spewing out a putrid black mist from its gaping maw.
The moment the black mist landed, countless bone claws burst forth from the earth, reaching for Ren Xiaoyao's ankles. At the same time, a sinister nursery rhyme echoed in the air, "One soul falls, ten thousand calamities bind, no one can hide in the Depths of Chaos..."
The nursery rhyme was interspersed with the harsh sound of metal scraping together, as if countless chains were being forged in the depths of the void, preparing for the impending calamity.
" Law Backlash of Primordial Chaos?" Ren Xiaoyao's pupils shrank sharply, and the Chaos Runes around him dimmed slightly due to this oppressive force.
He could clearly sense that this was not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation, but Demon Slaying Tribulation brought down by the Chaos Origin due to its excessive interference with the cause and effect of nine lifetimes.
The oppressive force emanating from the Thunder Clouds was several times more terrifying than the full-force resistance of the Human Emperor Nine Lives Body. Each arc of lightning contained power sufficient to completely annihilate his soul.
The air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell, the stench of the space being scorched by the intense heat. The seawater of the Chaos Sea began to boil, billowing out thick black mist. Within the mist, various ferocious faces vaguely emerged, seemingly mocking his overestimation of his abilities.
Suddenly, those faces let out a shriek in unison. Wherever the sound waves passed, the Chaos Sea surged up a wall of poisonous mist hundreds of meters high. The surface of the wall was covered with writhing tentacles, each with a huge mouth full of fangs at the tip, frantically tearing at anything that tried to approach.
The poisonous fog also contains tiny poison needles. Once they touch an object, they will immediately corrode it, creating deep wounds that expose the bone. Black Venom will continuously ooze from the wounds, and the venom will rapidly expand upon contact with air, forming bubbling tumors.
A human face emerged from the surface of the tumor, whispering in a voice familiar to Ren Xiaoyao: "Give up, you will eventually be swallowed by Primordial Chaos."
In Ren Xiaoyao's sea of consciousness, images flashed by like a revolving lantern—he saw his Dao Foundation crumbling inch by inch during the Heavenly Tribulation, and his beloved turned into white bones in the black mist. These illusions, like a malignant tumor, tried to break his will.
Deep within the illusion, countless unfamiliar yet malevolent eyes watched him from the darkness, their gazes searing his soul as if they were tangible.
The illusory body of the Human Emperor Nine Lives Body suddenly trembled violently, and his previously empty eyes ignited with Nether-Green Ghost Fire.
A sinister grin spread across his lips, his voice as grating as fingernails scraping metal. " Ren Xiaoyao! You think you can really kill me so easily? How could the Chaos Law allow you to act so recklessly!"
Before he finished speaking, his remaining power suddenly transformed into Blood-Colored Chains, the surface of which was covered with distorted human faces, each one screaming in agony, blood and tears streaming from its eyes.
The chains coiled around Ren Xiaoyao's sword-wielding wrist like serpents. Instantly, a chilling force surged through his meridians and into his heart, as if countless tiny ice spikes were crawling through his blood vessels. The excruciating pain caused the veins on Ren Xiaoyao's forehead to bulge.
Beneath his skin, Blood-Colored Chains were spreading at a visible speed, leaving eerie black spots wherever they passed. From these spots seeped a foul-smelling, viscous liquid that hissed and corroded the Chaos Runes upon contact.
Where the slime dripped, the ground quickly caved in, forming bottomless Black Hole Black Hole. Eerie laughter echoed from within, as if countless evil spirits were waiting for their prey.
Suddenly, a withered hand reached out from one of the Black Hole, grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's ankle, and tried to drag him into the Dark Abyss.
The withered hand was covered with barbs, and with each inch the barbs pierced the skin, black energy surged into the wound, attempting to alter the power of his bloodline.
At the same time, the skin on the withered wrist cracked open, and tiny Blood-Colored Threadworms emerged, burrowing along Ren Xiaoyao's leg veins toward his heart. With each step forward, he felt his heart being squeezed tighter by Invisible Power.
Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly, and the light of the Chaos Runes around him surged once more, with countless Golden Chains erupting from the Chaos Sea beneath his feet.
These Golden Chains are engraved with Creation Divine Runes, each Dao God radiating a warm light, as if they were blessings from Ancient Gods.
The Golden Chains and the Blood-Colored Chains clashed, Mars flying from the point of impact. The Mars fell into the Chaos Sea, instantly creating a bottomless Black Hole.
Eerie lights flickered within the Black Hole, accompanied by chilling sobs. Transparent figures of children floated within, emitting piercing screams whenever the chains collided.
Ren Xiaoyao's gaze was like lightning as he stared intently at the giant Thunder Clouds hand about to fall from above, while the Chaos Undying Blade in his hand erupted with unprecedented brilliance.
The Parallel Universe Life and Death Samsara Diagram on the blade spun wildly, with countless worlds rapidly being born and dying within it. At times, the dazzling brilliance of newly born stars illuminated the Primordial Chaos, and at other times, the despairing darkness of collapsing worlds devoured everything. It even faintly resonated with the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the blade trembled, emitting a sound like a dragon's roar.
Wherever the sword light touched, countless afterimages of Parallel Universes appeared in the void. In each afterimage, there was a Ren Xiaoyao fighting against different enemies. Some were Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, and some were burned by raging flames, but they all persisted in wielding their swords.
These afterimages suddenly spoke at the same time, uttering the same voice. "Hold on, Ren Xiaoyao!"
At the same time, golden light surged from the wounds on the afterimages, converging into a pillar of light that flowed into Ren Xiaoyao's body, replenishing his strength.
The phantom images of powerful figures from past dynasties emerged from the pillar of light, shouting in unison to cheer on Ren Xiaoyao.
The weapons in the phantoms' hands lit up simultaneously, weaving into a giant golden net in the air, attempting to withstand the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was too great. The moment the golden giant net came into contact with the Thunder Clouds hand, cracks began to appear. Strands of black energy seeped in along the cracks, corroding every node of the giant net.
"Want to stop me? Then cleave this Chaos Tribulation in two first!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his figure soaring into the sky.
The Chaos Energy around him frantically condensed, transforming into a giant sword thousands of feet long.
This giant sword exudes an ancient and weathered aura. Its blade is engraved with ancient Dao Patterns that suppress the heavens, and each Dao Patterns is breathing in and out Chaos Qi, as if telling the story of the World Creation.
At the same time, his hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals like phantoms, while he chanted incantations. The obscure and difficult-to-understand spells echoed in the Primordial Chaos, and wherever the sound waves reached, ripples spread through the space.
Ancient Incantations containing the Chaos Origin were uttered from his mouth, condensing into a golden incantation barrier in the void.
The runes on the spell barrier flickered continuously, as if engaging in a dialogue across time and space with the Heavenly Tribulation. The light of the runes and the dark blue of the Thunder Clouds complemented each other, creating a bizarre yet magnificent scene.
Countless Ancient Totems suddenly appeared on the surface of the spell barrier. Each Totems was breathing in and out Chaos Qi, trying to resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Golden Blood seeped out between the Totems, meandering along the barrier's patterns to form a new defensive array.
Within the array, Golden Blood coalesced into ancient divine Divine Beast, which raised their heads and roared as they charged toward the giant hand of Heavenly Tribulation.
Wherever the Divine Beast passed, space was re-condensed, forming golden shields to resist the attacks of the Heavenly Tribulation.
But with a wave of the giant hand of the Heavenly Tribulation, the shields shattered and turned into a shower of golden rain.
The moment the golden rain landed, it transformed into countless golden talismans, forming the four large characters " Heavenly Dao Does Not Tolerate," which floated above Ren Xiaoyao's head.
The four large characters exuded a heavy pressure, each stroke pressing down on Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder as if it were a tangible weight. At the same time, the light on the talisman began to distort, gradually forming new incantations—an ancient Demon Trapping Formation that tightly bound him.
The colossal hand of Heavenly Tribulation crashed down, causing space to collapse inch by inch in its path, forming countless Miniature Black Hole.
These Black Hole devoured each other, emitting sharp hissing sounds, like countless hungry ghosts fighting over food.
Ren Xiaoyao wielded the Chaos Greatsword and met the attack head-on.
The moment the sword blade collided with the giant hand, the entire Chaos Sea surged with towering waves, which contained Chaos Crystal shredded by energy, resembling silver Star Sand.
The terrifying aftershocks of energy spread outwards, causing the seawater of the Chaos Sea to boil and evaporate, revealing the dark purple Chaos Origin beneath. Within the Origin, ancient figures slept, and those figures suddenly opened their empty eye sockets, shooting out beams of dark Purple Light Pillar. Wherever the beams touched, space instantly turned into Void.
The moment Ren Xiaoyao's spell barrier came into contact with the Heavenly Tribulation, it burst forth with dazzling light, but it also collapsed rapidly. Each piece of the collapsing rune turned into a meteor, streaking across the Primordial Chaos sky and leaving a long trail of light in the air.
Wherever the light streak touched, space was torn apart into countless tiny cracks, from which seeped a foul-smelling Black Liquid. Upon landing, the liquid transformed into Carrion Beetles, frantically devouring the surrounding Space Fragments.
These beetles can also merge together to form an even larger monster that pounces on Ren Xiaoyao.
Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao muttered incantations, and the Chaos Undying Blade shone brightly as he unleashed Golden Sword Qi, slaying the monsters one by one.
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, countless golden cracks were cut into space, like a falling Star River.
But suddenly, Black Vines emerged from these cracks, wrapping around Ren Xiaoyao's limbs. The surface of the vines was covered with sharp thorns, and each thorn that pierced into him absorbed a portion of his life force.
Strange Flower Buds also grew on the Black Vines. After the Flower Buds bloomed, they revealed human faces that spat out a corrosive black liquid at Ren Xiaoyao. The liquid dripped onto his skin and instantly emitted puffs of white smoke.
At this critical moment of life and death, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly opened his mouth and spat out the Chaos Undying Core within his body.
The core transformed into a blazing white light, hovering above his head. Fine golden patterns flowed across its surface, beating rhythmically like a heart.
The core absorbed all the Heavenly Tribulation Power surging from all directions. With each wisp of power absorbed, a new crack appeared on the core's surface, from which a faint Golden Blood seeped.
Ren Xiaoyao seized this fleeting opportunity, unleashing the full power of the Chaos Undying Blade, and delivered a final blow to the Human Emperor Nine Lives Body.
Where the blade sliced through, space was torn open, revealing the endless dark void behind it, where countless eyes could be vaguely seen watching the battle.
From the depths of the dark void, a series of low laughs echoed, filled with boundless malice. The laughter grew closer and closer, and a gigantic Demon Head materialized in the void rift, opening its blood-red maw in an attempt to devour Ren Xiaoyao.
Black Flames continued to spew from the Demon Head, causing space to rapidly distort and deform wherever the flames touched.
Ren Xiaoyao shouted, and the Parallel Universe Life and Death Samsara Diagram on the Chaos Undying Blade spun rapidly, releasing powerful energy that extinguished the Black Flames one by one. At the same time, it slashed towards the Demon Head's Demon Head, which let out a roar and turned into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated in the air.
But the black smoke did not truly disappear; instead, it transformed into countless tiny black insects that burrowed into Ren Xiaoyao's wound.
The black worms were gnawing at his meridians, each bite accompanied by a sound like a baby crying, attempting to erode his Dao Heart.
As the black insects gnawed at him, black lines began to appear in Ren Xiaoyao's meridians. These lines, like marks of Curse, flowed along his blood toward his heart. With each step forward, his consciousness became more blurred.
The Human Emperor Nine Lives Body stared in horror at the blade of light containing the World-Ending Power, frantically circulating their remaining strength in an attempt to condense a defensive barrier.
But under the oppressive power of the Chaos Undying Blade, his efforts seemed utterly futile.
"No! I'm not reconciled!" His roar was drowned out by the roar of the Heavenly Tribulation.
With a flash of light, his body shattered like a bubble, and the power of his nine lifetimes completely dissipated into the Primordial Chaos, leaving only a long, mournful cry that echoed for a long time in the Chaos Sea, a cry filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.
The mournful cries transformed into sound waves that reverberated throughout the Chaos Sea. Each tremor created a massive vortex, within which countless afterimages of the Human Emperor Nine Lives Body appeared, reliving the moment of their slaying. Suddenly, the afterimages cried out in unison, "Though we perish, our karma will not be extinguished!"
The sound was so loud that Ren Xiaoyao's eardrums ached, and a sharp pain shot through his mind.
At this moment, countless images suddenly appeared in his mind, all of which were calamities he might encounter in the future.
In the scene, a gigantic dark figure shrouds the entire Chaos Sea, destroying everything in its path, while countless powerful enemies launch attacks against it.
In one of the scenes, he saw himself kneeling in ruins, surrounded by the bodies of his relatives and friends.
Deep within the ruins, a pair of enormous eyes slowly opened, their pupils gleaming with a desire to destroy everything.
Those eyes were fixed on Ren Xiaoyao when a black beam of light suddenly shot out from them, piercing through his consciousness and planting an evil mark in his mind. The mark continued to spread, attempting to erode his memory and will.
However, the price of destroying the Human Emperor Nine Lives Body was also enormous.
Unable to withstand the continuous impact of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Chaos Undying Core cracked and grew larger, emitting a groan of unbearable strain, a mournful cry of impending destruction.
Blood trickled from the corner of Ren Xiaoyao's mouth, his hair turned white inch by inch under the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, as if it would shatter at any moment.
He mustered his last bit of strength and plunged the Chaos Undying Blade into the Chaos Sea beneath his feet.
Golden ripples erupted from the blade, ancient array patterns emerging within them, forcibly drawing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation into the Depths of Chaos.
The array pattern light collided fiercely with the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, bursting out with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Chaos Sea as if it were daytime.
In the intense light, countless fragments of ancient memories flashed by. Ren Xiaoyao saw the scene at the Beginning of Chaos, the destruction of countless worlds in the future, and the illusion of himself being completely swallowed by this power.
In his hallucination, he saw himself transformed into a gigantic monster, destroying everything, while people around him fled in terror, desperately calling out to him.
Deep within his consciousness, a deep voice resounded. "This is your destiny."
At the same time, he felt waves of excruciating pain within his body, and the Golden Blood seeping from the cracks in the Chaos Undying Core began to flow backward, corroding his internal organs.
Where the Golden Blood flowed backward, black lines began to appear on his internal organs. These lines spread like a spider web, and with each inch they spread, he felt his life force rapidly draining away. Meanwhile, in his dantian, an evil power was quietly growing.
"Disperse!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted with all his might, and the Chaos Undying Blade emitted its last ray of light.
The entire Chaos Sea trembled violently, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was forcibly torn apart, turning into countless streams of light that dissipated into the void.
Ren Xiaoyao could no longer hold on, and his body fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the Chaos Sea, stirring up thousands of waves.
Seawater poured into his wounds, bringing excruciating pain; each Dao Wound felt like it was being repeatedly cut by countless tiny knives.
His consciousness began to blur, and in a daze he saw a pair of huge eyes watching him from the Depths of Chaos. Suddenly those eyes opened, and a beam of golden light shot out, shooting straight into the sky and outlining a mysterious Star Map in the clouds.
In the Star Map, countless stars begin to move, forming a massive prophecy that foreshadows an even greater crisis to come.
Surrounding the Star Map are some mysterious symbols that flash continuously, as if conveying some important message.
The symbols suddenly glowed, forming an image in Ren Xiaoyao's mind: on a huge Altar, stood a figure draped in black robes, holding a Scepter that exuded Evil Aura.
The figure in black robes slowly raised his head, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Ren Xiaoyao. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and the skull at the top of the Scepter suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a deafening laugh that echoed through the Primordial Chaos.
Amidst the maniacal laughter, the space around the Altar began to distort. Countless black chains emerged from the void, extending towards the direction where Ren Xiaoyao had fallen. The chains were covered with Ancient Curse Runes, and as the runes flickered, a powerful suction force emanated from the chains, attempting to extract his soul from his body.
The Chaos Sea gradually returned to calm, with only Ren Xiaoyao's blood-stained figure floating silently on the surface.
His chest heaved slightly, his eyes were closed, and his face was full of exhaustion and scars.
Deep within the Chaos Sea, a faint, mysterious aura quietly emerged, containing ancient and powerful energy, seemingly foreshadowing that this Primordial Chaos conflict was far from over...
Dark purple mist quietly gathered around Ren Xiaoyao, transforming into blurry faces, seemingly spying on his life or death, or perhaps waiting for some opportune moment.
The Chaos Sea sea rippled with strange waves, flowing slowly in a certain direction, as if drawn by Invisible Power.
Where the ripples passed, ancient runes appeared on the sea surface, and as the runes flickered, they vaguely outlined the shape of a huge Altar.
Suddenly, crimson pillars of light rose around the Altar, and a huge Blood-Colored Gears condensed at the top of the pillars. The gear began to turn slowly, emitting a tooth-grinding metallic grinding sound. With each rotation, countless tiny runes floated out from the gaps in the gear and merged into the Chaos Sea.
