The instant the Chaos Origin entered his body, the black corrosive marks that had enveloped Ren Xiaoyao vanished at a visible speed, like snow melting under the blazing sun. Beneath the once spiderweb-like cracks, the newly formed skin shone with a lustrous, jade-like sheen, as if it were divine metal reforged by the Chaos Qi. Every inch of his skin was adorned with subtle Dao Patterns. These Dao Patterns intertwined, outlining Miniature Universe Star Map on the skin's surface, sometimes shimmering with the light of a reversed Milky Way, sometimes revealing the dark patterns of collapsing Black Hole, as if the entire Heaven and Earth Laws had been engraved into his flesh and blood.

Beneath the festering flesh, the newly formed skin gleamed with a lustrous, jade-like sheen, like divine metal reforged by Chaos Qi. Every inch of this new skin was imbued with subtle Dao Patterns Dao Patterns, which intertwined to form Miniature Universe Star Map. As the Origin Power permeated the skin, the necrotic tissue crumbled away like purified dark clouds in the golden light. The new skin not only reshaped the body but also became a vessel bearing the Great Dao. Every breath it took caused the surrounding space to tremble, as if its very existence was a reinterpretation of the World Laws.

He sat cross-legged on the Chaos Stone in the center of the Secret Realm. This mysterious stone, bearing the sediment of countless years, suddenly oozed Golden Liquid from its surface grooves, which, like a living thing, climbed up Ren Xiaoyao's ankles. Wherever the liquid passed, ripples appeared on the stone's surface, and an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air, as if a sleeping giant was awakening. The Golden Liquid carried a scorching temperature, yet contained a cool vitality. The moment it touched his skin, it felt as if countless tiny electric currents surged into his meridians, bringing a tingling yet powerful sensation.

The moment the liquid touched his skin, the strange stone trembled violently, ancient Star Map patterns appearing on its surface, resonating with the Star Trails flowing within Ren Xiaoyao's body. A deafening roar of breaking chains echoed from the depths of the Secret Realm, as if an ancient, dormant entity had been completely awakened. The entire Secret Realm began to shake violently, the suspended Chaos Qi condensing into a massive vortex, and cracks appearing in the distant spacetime barrier. The ancient Star Map patterns emitted a ghostly blue light, intertwining with the golden light surrounding Ren Xiaoyao, creating a mysterious resonance that transcended time and space, as if engaging in a dialogue across eras.

The surrounding Chaos Qi suddenly transformed into a dazzling band of light, like Star River, as if guided by an invisible hand, orderly encircling his body. These bands of light sometimes slithered like serpents, sometimes coiled like Flood Dragon, each turn causing the space to twist and fold. Various strange symbols flashed within the bands of light from time to time. These symbols were fleeting, yet contained endless profound truths, as if they were codes left behind by heaven and earth at the Beginning of Chaos.

These bands of light sometimes darted like serpents, sometimes coiled like Flood Dragon. The moment they resonated with the Chaos Green Lotus in the sea of consciousness, the Law of Space of the entire Secret Realm began to distort. The Time Flow Rate became erratic, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Distant scenery was sometimes as clear as if it were right before one's eyes, and sometimes as blurry as if from another world. Countless overlapping images appeared in the space: past battle scenes, blurry future images, and strange worlds of different dimensions. All of this became both illusory and real under the stirring of the Chaos Qi.

The profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos surged in like a tidal wave, and countless runes appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's pupils. As each obscure and difficult-to-understand Principle transformed into a stream of light and merged into his divine soul, a Law Sanctum rose in his sea of consciousness. The temple was formed from Chaos Qi, radiating eternal light. Countless legal codes floated within the temple, each recording a different Great Dao Laws. As the runes merged, the temple continued to expand, with new halls and corridors appearing one after another, seemingly without end.

He saw countless Threads of Fate floating in the River of Time, touched the Chaos Singularity hidden at the folds of space, and even sensed the whispers of Ancient Civilization erased by the Heavenly Dao within the cycle of life and death. In the River of Time, he saw countless choices he had made in the past, each choice giving rise to a different world; at the folds of space, he glimpsed the Mysteries of the Universe's Birth; and those fragments of Ancient Civilization told tales of their glorious past and tragic demise, giving him a deeper understanding of the impermanence of the Heavenly Dao.

Those once shattered meridians, reshaped by the Chaos Power, faintly revealed the trajectory of Star Circulation, like a vast Star River flowing within the body. Each meridian shimmered with starlight, and the flow of qi and blood resembled the surging of the Milky Way. Wherever it passed, cells received unprecedented nourishment, bursting forth with powerful vitality. A perfect circulatory system formed between the meridians, like a miniature universe containing boundless energy.

A blue lotus slowly bloomed in the dantian, twelve rays of light bursting forth from its petals. Each ray corresponded to a fundamental Principle, radiating a chilling pressure. As the lotus bloomed, the entire Secret Realm was bathed in a holy blue light, containing boundless vitality and Power of Destruction. The twelve rays of light intertwined, forming a massive Formation Diagram in the air. Each node in the array exuded a unique aura, as if recounting the origin and end of the universe.

As the Azure Lotus bloomed, Ren Xiaoyao's aura surged, and the Chaos Qi throughout the entire Secret Realm rushed into his body, as if paying homage to a newly born Chaos Master. His momentum was like a new star exploding, soaring into the sky, and the surrounding space twisted and deformed under his pressure. The Chaos Qi formed a huge tornado, enveloping him and constantly tempering his body and soul. Each injection of energy was accompanied by intense pain and rebirth, causing his strength to continuously rise.

An ancient sigh echoed from the depths of the Secret Realm, like the awakening of a slumbering spirit of Primordial Chaos, or the chanting of ancient Principle for the birth of a new powerful being. The sigh was deep and resonant, carrying the vicissitudes of time and boundless wisdom, reverberating endlessly throughout the Secret Realm. With the sigh, the Chaos Qi within the Secret Realm began to surge even more violently, as if responding to some ancient call, foreshadowing the beginning of a new era.

At this moment, twelve pillars of light rose around Ren Xiaoyao, each connecting to a different dimension of spacetime, from which came the hymns of Immortals and Gods and the wails of Demonic God. The pillars of light emitted Dazzling Light, illuminating the entire Secret Realm and even piercing through the barriers of spacetime. The hymns of Immortals and Gods were melodious and sacred, as if praising the birth of a new powerful being; while the wails of Demonic God were filled with fear and resentment, foreshadowing the impending destruction of the Dark Forces. These sounds intertwined, forming a symphony that shook the heavens and the earth.

When he slowly opened his eyes, the tenacity and determination of the previous battle no longer flowed in his gaze, but rather a calm acceptance of life and death, and an unparalleled majesty that commanded everything. His eyes seemed to see through the essence of all things, discerning the Past and Future. The power contained in those eyes froze the surrounding space, as if the entire world held its breath under his gaze.

He casually raised his hand, and ripples spread across the space beneath his feet, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake; with a wave of his hand, the swirling Primordial Chaos mist before him instantly condensed into a transparent sword. Every gesture he made exuded the aura of a powerful being, as if he were the master of this world. The ripples spread outwards, rearranging everything in their path; and the transparent sword emanated a mysterious and powerful aura, seemingly capable of severing all obstacles.

This sword is crystal clear, its patterns identical to those of the Chaos Greatsword, yet it contains even deeper Chaos Law. The swirling light at the hilt seems to have condensed the power of the entire Star River within it; where the blade points, the void groans under its weight. The patterns on the blade shimmer with a faint light, each Dao Patterns containing a powerful force that is released when the sword is swung, forming a powerful Sword Qi. The halos of the hilt are as dazzling as Star River, reflecting the sharpness of the blade, creating a perfect divine weapon.

Ren Xiaoyao lightly flicked his Sword Hum, and its resounding clang shattered three ancient stars floating at the edge of the Secret Realm realm. Countless meteorites rained down, but the moment they touched his Chaos Domain, they turned to dust and merged into his sword intent. The Sword Hum was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire Secret Realm. The powerful sound waves shattered the stars, triggering a cosmic-level catastrophe. As for the falling meteorites, they were decomposed by the powerful force as they approached his Chaos Domain, becoming part of his sword intent and further enhancing his strength.

Beyond the Secret Realm, the world changed color. The originally inky clouds turned purplish-gold, within which the faint phantoms of colossal beasts formed from Chaos Qi could be seen. These phantoms were as large as mountains, and each breath they took caused the space to tremble. Their existence seemed to symbolize the most primal power in the world. Strange lights flickered intermittently within the purplish-gold clouds, as if foreshadowing an earth-shattering transformation that was about to occur.

Each roar of these phantoms caused the Fang Yuan space to collapse inch by inch, and distant mountains were reduced to dust under this pressure. The roar of the behemoths was like a heavy hammer, striking every corner of the world, and the powerful sonic waves destroyed everything in their path. Mountains were leveled in an instant, and huge cracks appeared in the earth, as if the End of the World was about to come.

Purple lightning streaked across the sky intermittently. Unlike ordinary lightning, each bolt contained the Great Dao Power, capable of destroying everything in its path. Wherever it passed, space was scorched black, leaving marks that took a long time to heal. The Purple Lightning, like giant dragons, weaved through the clouds, their power enough to destroy an entire galaxy. The space struck by the lightning bore permanent scars, which continued to expand, seemingly devouring everything around them.

Countless tiny Space-time Rift opened in the clouds, and the Chaos Qi overflowing from them transformed into hideous demonic shadows upon landing. These shadows, barely formed, were crushed to ashes by the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation. The Space-time Rift emitted eerie light, from which Chaos Qi surged, forming various terrifying demonic shadows. These shadows, diverse in form and filled with an aura of evil and destruction, instantly vanished under the immense pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation, demonstrating its Heavenly Tribulation power.

Ren Xiaoyao stepped out of the Bronze Giant Gate, and the moment he appeared, nine bolts of World Creation, crashed down. The sky seemed to be torn open with nine enormous holes, and lightning poured down like a waterfall. The power of the tribulation lightning was immense; each bolt contained enough energy to destroy a world. The holes in the sky continued to expand, and the lightning poured down like a torrent, illuminating the entire world and creating a breathtaking scene.

The first bolt of lightning struck him, exploding into a sky full of sparks. Ren Xiaoyao's Azure Green Lotus True Fire surged, transforming into Nine-Colored Lotus Platform that enveloped the lightning. The lightning within the lotus fire shimmered like starlight. The Azure Green Lotus True Fire burned around him, forming a massive lotus platform that emitted nine different colors of light, each containing powerful Purifying Power. The lightning was purified within the lotus fire, transforming into starlight that dissipated into the air, showcasing his formidable strength and unique Cultivation Method.

However, the subsequent tribulation lightning became increasingly terrifying. When the fifth lightning bolt struck, the void began to distort, breaking down all surrounding matter into its most primordial particles. The power of the tribulation lightning continued to escalate, and the fifth lightning bolt even possessed the ability to alter the very nature of matter. Under the influence of the tribulation lightning, the void twisted and deformed, and the surrounding matter was broken down into its most basic particles. The entire world seemed to have returned to a state of Beginning of Chaos, filled with uncertainty and danger.

Under the influence of the tribulation lightning, the decomposed particles began to recombine, forming various bizarre monsters that pounced on Ren Xiaoyao. These monsters varied in form, some resembling giant octopuses, others like winged lions. Their bodies were composed of different particles, exuding an aura of mutation and evil. Their attacks carried immense power, each pounce causing spatial tremors and putting tremendous pressure on Ren Xiaoyao.

These monsters' skin was pieced together from shattered Space-time Fragments, and their eyes flashed with the Destruction Light of the Beginning of Chaos. Each attack carried the power to Sky-Rending Strike. Their existence seemed to be a product of Primordial Chaos, representing destruction and disorder. Their attacks were not only powerful but also filled with eerie power, capable of Sky-Rending Strike, posing a serious threat to Ren Xiaoyao.

The seventh lightning bolt, imbued with the Time-Space Power, instantly swept him into a distorted Space-time Turbulence. Within this Space-time Turbulence, time and space lost their meaning, and Ren Xiaoyao felt as if he were in a chaotic world. He saw countless Parallel Universes, and different versions of himself experiencing different fates in different worlds. All of this gave him a deeper understanding of the mysteries of spacetime, while also presenting him with unprecedented challenges.

In the Space-time Turbulence, Ren Xiaoyao saw countless afterimages of himself. Some lay dying in pools of blood, some were Demonic Qi Erosion and became new Heavenly Demon, and others attained enlightenment in the Primordial Chaos and became rulers who controlled a region. These afterimages flashed before his eyes like phantoms, each representing a possible future for him. These images served as both a warning and an inspiration, strengthening his resolve that no matter how great the difficulties, he must not give up.

These images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, yet they could not shake his resolve. His gaze remained firm, and his conviction was as unshakable as a rock. He knew that these were merely tests of fate, and only by upholding his principles could he overcome all difficulties and walk the path to true strength.

He bit his tongue, using his Essence Blood as a guide to mobilize the Chaos Origin within his body, forcibly creating a Small World amidst the Space-time Turbulence. The appearance of this Small World provided him with a temporary refuge. With the Chaos Origin as its core, he constructed a stable space. Although this space was not large, it was full of vitality and power, capable of withstanding the impact of the Space-time Turbulence.

This Small World, centered on the Chaos Green Lotus, has Twelve Origin Powers Principle forming pillars that temporarily resist the tearing force of the Space-time Turbulence. Within the Small World, the Chaos Green Lotus emits a soft light, illuminating the entire space. The Twelve Origin Powers Principle, acting as massive pillars, support the stability of the Small World. They intertwine to form a powerful defense system, protecting the Small World from the harm of the Space-time Turbulence.

However, the power of the Space-time Turbulence was too great. Cracks kept appearing at the edge of the Small World, as if it would collapse completely at any moment. Countless bone claws emerged from the cracks, each one wrapped with an ancient Curse, attempting to drag Ren Xiaoyao into eternal Void. The power of the Space-time Turbulence continued to impact the Small World, the cracks grew larger and larger, and bone claws emerged from the cracks, carrying an evil aura and powerful Curse power, bringing great danger to Ren Xiaoyao.

When the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning struck, Ren Xiaoyao guided it into his Small World, using its power to temper himself. The lightning caused a violent tremor upon entering the Small World. Ren Xiaoyao continuously refined his body and soul within the power of the tribulation lightning, each impact making him stronger. His body became more resilient under the tempering of the lightning, and his soul became more concentrated.

The Small World teetered on the brink of collapse under the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, but the light of the Chaos Green Lotus grew ever more brilliant, transforming the power of the tribulation lightning into pure Chaos Qi. The Chaos Green Lotus, far from being destroyed by the tribulation lightning, instead shone even more Dazzling Light. It absorbed and transformed the power of the tribulation lightning, providing powerful energy support for the Small World, and also providing Ren Xiaoyao with a continuous source of power.

However, the Will of Destruction contained within the tribulation lightning was constantly eroding the Principle of the Small World Small World, forcing Ren Xiaoyao to devote a great deal of his mind to stabilizing its order. Like a virus, the Will of Destruction relentlessly eroded the Principle of the Small World Small World, attempting to disrupt its stability. Ren Xiaoyao concentrated his mind, using his understanding of the Principle to continuously repair and strengthen Principle, waging a fierce battle against the Small World Will of Destruction.

His hair began to break inch by inch, each strand transforming into a Law Runes that floated in the air, forming Defensive Array. The runes formed from the broken hair shimmered with a mysterious light, connecting with each other to form a powerful Defensive Array. This array could not only resist the erosion of the Will of Destruction, but also absorb and transform a certain amount of the power of the tribulation lightning, buying Ren Xiaoyao more time and strength.

At the same time, ancient Chaos Dao Patterns appeared in his pupils. These Dao Patterns absorbed the power of the tribulation lightning and constructed a Chaos Furnace in his sea of consciousness, refining the Will of Destruction for his own use. The Chaos Dao Patterns flickered in his pupils, absorbing the power of the tribulation lightning and constructing a mysterious furnace in his sea of consciousness. This furnace could transform the Will of Destruction into pure power for Ren Xiaoyao's use, further enhancing his strength.

The final bolt of tribulation lightning coalesced into the form of a Primordial Chaos behemoth, its jaws wide enough to devour the heavens and earth, lunging down at Ren Xiaoyao. The behemoth was immensely large, its maw seemingly capable of swallowing the entire universe. It emanated a powerful Destructive Aura, each breath causing spatial tremors and bringing Ren Xiaoyao an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The fangs of the behemoth were wrapped in the Destruction Laws; wherever it passed, space was annihilated and time stood still. The power of the Destruction Laws was immense; it could easily annihilate space and freeze time. Wherever the behemoth's attack struck, everything turned to nothing, and time seemed to stop flowing, forming a terrifying domain of destruction.

Ren Xiaoyao raised the Chaos Greatsword high, and the Golden Dragon Phantom on the sword emitted a deafening roar, merging with his divine soul. The Chaos Greatsword shone Dazzling Light in his hand, Golden Dragon Phantom flew out of the sword, letting out a dragon roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The fusion of the golden dragon with his divine soul enhanced his strength and will, filling him with confidence to fight the Primordial Chaos Beast.

He mobilized the twelve fundamental Principle, infusing all the Great Dao Power he had comprehended into the sword, unleashing a strike imbued with the power to World Creation. This strike condensed all his power and insights, the blade shimmering with the light of the twelve fundamental Principle, each light representing a powerful force. This strike, carrying the momentum of World Creation, tore through the boundaries of space and time, slashing towards the Primordial Chaos behemoth.

This sword cleaved the boundaries of time and space, severed the threads of fate, and pierced straight towards the Primordial Chaos behemoth. "Boom!" Heaven and earth seemed to be split open by this sword, and the Primordial Chaos behemoth's body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into pure energy that was absorbed by Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever the blade touched, time and space were torn apart, and the threads of fate were severed. A huge explosion resounded, and heaven and earth seemed to tremble. Under this powerful force, the Primordial Chaos behemoth instantly disintegrated, turning into energy that was absorbed by Ren Xiaoyao, greatly enhancing his strength.

At this point, he had fully entered the Chaos Realm. The aura emanating from him caused the ancient ferocious beasts in the Chaos Mountain Range to tremble and prostrate themselves. Even the slumbering Ancient Gods were startled, letting out awe-inspiring roars. His aura was like a powerful pressure, enveloping the entire Chaos Mountain Range. The ancient ferocious beasts sensed this aura and prostrated themselves in submission; the Ancient Gods were also startled, letting out awe-inspiring roars, as if welcoming the birth of a new Chaos Master.

The Spirit Vein within the mountain range began to surge, countless rare spirit medicine herbs bursting forth from the earth to welcome the birth of a new powerful being. The energy contained within the Spirit Vein, influenced by his aura, began to boil, causing the earth to tremble, and countless rare spirit medicine emerged from the ground. These spirit medicine exuded a rich Spiritual Qi; their appearance not only welcomed the new powerful being but also brought new life and vitality to this mountain range.
