The Black Curse Seal between his brows was like a leech, relentlessly Bone Erosion his soul. Each circulation of spiritual energy triggered excruciating pain, as if thousands of vengeful ghosts were devouring his Soul Origin. The chilling power of the Curse coursed through his meridians, chilling even the indestructible Golden Immortal Body. Fine frost flowers condensed on the walls of his meridians, layer upon layer like a spiderweb of Ice Crystals, as if his very soul was about to be frozen into an eternal ice block by this extreme cold. Ren Xiaoyao suppressed the surging turbid energy within him, his fingertips forming a hand seal to wipe away the golden blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth. The blood, still warm from the essence of Golden Immortal, was instantly corroded by the curse power before it even touched the ground, turning into wisps of black smoke that emitted a nauseating, putrid stench, like the filth accumulated in an ancient tomb. Even the surrounding Spiritual Qi was slightly distorted by the pollution, transforming into swirling gray-black vortexes. He gripped the Emperor Sword tightly in his hand. His palms turned white from the force of his grip. The Three Great Law Runes of space, purification, and destruction on the sword seemed to possess sentience, trembling slightly at their master's pain. A faint yet resilient golden light flowed from them, attempting to protect him. That golden light, like the rising sun, barely managed to create a thin protective shield around him. Following the few words in the Ancient Scroll Fragments, "The primordial Primordial Chaos is hidden in the beginning, the origin breaks all evil," he shattered nine layers of void, enduring the scorching heat of the lava sea, the soul-devouring of the Myriad Ghost Cavern, and the cutting of Space Turbulence. Finally, at the end of the Primordial Chaos turbulence, he found the legendary entrance to the Primordial Secret Realm, where the Primordial Chaos Origin was said to be hidden. The entrance was hidden in the Primordial Chaos, like a closed Primordial Chaos pearl. Profound ancient Dao Patterns flowed on its surface, sometimes transforming into auspicious Dragon Phoenix Auspiciousness and phoenixes, sometimes condensing into a rotating Star River, radiating a majestic aura that suppressed eternity and cleansed the eight wastelands, preventing the raging Chaos Current around it from approaching even an inch.

Beyond the Secret Realm, Chaos Current surged like the tides of the East Sea, churning up millstone-sized pebbles and sharp Space Fragments. The void was sculpted into layers of spatial folds, like crumpled brocade, the edges shimmering with a dangerous, eerie blue light—the unique color of Space Turbulence. Touching it would tear one to dust, leaving not even a soul intact. Faintly visible within were Auspicious Qi and auspicious energy, with seven-colored Spiritual Qi cascading down like a waterfall, transforming into a shower of spiritual rain. Each drop contained pure Origin Power, creating golden ripples upon impact with the Chaos Current. However, within this sacred scene lay a chilling Savage Wilderness pressure—the unique aura of the Ancient Gods ' dwelling place. Ancient, pure, and imbued with an inviolable majesty, it was like a judgment from the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, enough to make ordinary Golden Immortal tremble and hesitate to approach, even their divine souls would tremble, as if facing the will of heaven and earth itself. Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit between his brows shimmering faintly, a warm golden light enveloping his body like Heart-Protecting Mirror, barely resisting this overwhelming pressure. Each step felt like walking on cotton, the void beneath his feet slightly caved in, and he struggled to step into the Secret Realm. The moment his toes touched the ground, the surrounding Chaos Current receded like a tide, replaced by an authentic Origin Spiritual Energy so dense it seemed to be unable to dissolve, surrounding him like a tangible substance. Inhaling it, he felt his internal organs being nourished.

The moment I stepped into the Secret Realm, the surrounding scenery abruptly changed, as if I had traversed countless ages, stepping from Primordial Chaos into a celestial realm. Beneath my feet lay Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone, formed over billions of years, crystal clear like Ice Crystals, refracting a seven-colored light. The surface of the stone was covered with Innate Dao Patterns, flowing slowly as if alive. With each step, I could feel the Origin Spiritual Energy flowing into my body through the Acupoint Yongquan on the sole of my foot, permeating my limbs Golden Secret Patterns like spring rain nourishing the fields, slightly suppressing the erosion of the Curse and allowing my tense soul to relax for a moment. In the distance stood Floating Mountain Range, hundreds of millions of feet high, its peaks like swords piercing the sky. The mountain bodies were covered with ancient golden secret patterns, like dragons and snakes moving about, sometimes transforming into Dragon Phoenix Auspiciousness, sometimes condensing into the Star River in motion, exuding a majestic aura that suppressed the ages and stabilized the universe, as if Pillar Stone Supporting the Sky that had existed since the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, supporting the entire Secret Realm realm. Clouds and mist swirled among the mountains like light veils, as white as snow. The mountain peaks, appearing and disappearing amidst the sea of clouds, possessed an ethereal Fairyland Like a Dream Artistic Conception, yet their steep and precipitous terrain exuded an aura of invincible strength. Wisps of milky-white Origin Spiritual Energy floated in the air, like a light veil of mist; inhaling them brought a sense of refreshment, and Damaged Meridians slowly repaired themselves under the nourishment of this Spiritual Qi, emitting a subtle hum, like spring insects breaking through the soil. Even the erosion of the cursed seal slowed down. However, this overly pure Spiritual Qi also triggered an anomaly deep within the Secret Realm. A roar that shook the universe suddenly erupted, like thunder rolling across the heavens, causing the Chaos Current to churn violently. A colossal figure covered in golden-red scales strode through the air from the depths of the mountains, its four hooves Shattering the Void, leaving trails of Golden Flame. Wherever it passed, even space itself distorted slightly, forming visible ripples, its overwhelming power seemingly intent on trampling the entire world beneath its feet.

That was none other than the Guardian Divine Beasts of the Primordial Secret Realm — the Primordial Kirin. Its body was tens of thousands of feet tall, several times more majestic than ordinary mountains. Standing there, it was like a Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation volcano, radiating a scorching heat that made the surrounding air unbearably hot, even causing the distant Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone to shimmer slightly. Its entire body was covered in scales as if forged from molten gold, each scale shimmering with the intense light of the sun, its edges flowing with a faint Primordial Chaos Rosy Clouds, as if containing the essence of a newly risen sun. The scales clanged together, producing a resounding, powerful sound that made one's eardrums tingle. On its head were a pair of spiraling Kirin Horn, crystal clear like Glazed Ice, their surfaces covered with fine... The dense Innate Realm patterns were Dao Marks formed from the Primordial Chaos Origin, with wisps of Primordial Violet Qi swirling around the tips. These were the purest manifestations of the Primordial Chaos Origin chaos, smoothing out the surrounding spatial folds as they flowed, displaying supreme power. The large, amber-colored eyes reflected the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, as if containing the Mysteries of the Universe. Yet, they were filled with vigilance and majesty, like a supreme arbiter. The Divine Beast's aura emanating from its body was like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on the Secret Realm, causing the Spiritual Qi of the entire Secret Realm to stagnate. Even the sound of the wind stopped abruptly, leaving only the heavy breathing of the others. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"Outsiders, trespassing on the Primordial Holy Land, shall be punished!" The Primordial Kirin's voice was ancient and deep, like the clash of ancient metal and stone. Each word carried the immense power of the ancient Savage Wilderness, transforming into an invisible wave of sound that swept out, causing Ren Xiaoyao's blood to surge, his meridians to vibrate, and his eardrums to buzz. He almost lost his composure. The Curse Imprint between his brows suddenly burned hot under the stimulation of this pure and flawless Divine Beast power, like a branding iron. An extremely cold black aura leaked out uncontrollably, like dozens of venomous snakes coiling around him, hissing and emitting a foul and evil aura, completely incompatible with the pure Spiritual Qi of the Secret Realm, forming a stark confrontation. This aura instantly enraged the Primordial Kirin. As Divine Beast guarding the Primordial Chaos Origin, it utterly detested the filthy power that polluted this pure land. Its eyes blazed with fury, like two Golden Flame, and the radiance around it intensified, illuminating the entire area in a golden glow. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, and golden light surged from its throat, like a small sun rising within. A golden beam containing Primordial True Fire and Primordial Chaos Pure Qi erupted forth. Wherever the beam passed, the void was scorched with dark tracks that could not heal for a long time. Even the Origin Spiritual Energy within the Secret Realm was ignited, transforming into Heavenly Fire that poured down with terrifying power, capable of incinerating and purifying everything, completely sealing off Ren Xiaoyao's escape route, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

Ren Xiaoyao dared not be careless. Using the Primordial Movement Technique, his figure transformed into a golden rainbow, retreating a thousand meters. His Three Great Law Runes fluttered as he avoided the core of the Fire Rain, though his hair was still slightly curled by the Mars, emitting a faint smell of burning. Simultaneously, he held the Emperor Sword horizontally in front of him. The golden light between his brows resonated with the three great law runes on the sword, instantly forming a thick Golden Shield. Runes flowed across the surface of the shield like Star River Rotation, densely interwoven into a net of Dao Patterns Dao Patterns, each containing the Power of Principle. With a deafening roar, the golden light and fire collided violently, a terrifying shockwave spreading outwards like a tsunami. The Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone beneath his feet shattered into countless spiderweb-like cracks, as if on the verge of collapse. The mirror seemed poised to collapse at any moment; distant mountain peaks had been cleaved in half, sending rubble flying and dust billowing, shrouding the entire area in a hazy mist, reducing visibility to less than three feet. Ren Xiaoyao felt his arm go numb, his tiger's mouth split open, blood trickling down the Emperor Sword, dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound, interacting with the Origin Spiritual Energy of the ground, emitting wisps of white smoke; the Golden Immortal Power within his body suddenly stagnated, like a river blocked by silt, its flow obstructed, the power of the Curse taking the opportunity to backfire, crashing against his soul like a tidal wave, making his throat sweet, another mouthful of golden blood spill from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone, instantly corroding a small, deep pit, wisps of green smoke rising, emitting a pungent odor.

"The power of the Divine Beast is indeed domineering, but if it wants to stop me from breaking the Curse, I have no choice but to fight!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, and golden light surged in his single eye, like two blazing suns hanging in the sky, piercing through the dust, his fighting spirit awe-inspiring. The Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit within his body circulated wildly, emitting a warm yet boundless golden glow, continuously absorbing the Origin Spiritual Energy in the Secret Realm into his body, transforming it into pure Law Power, which surged and flowed through his meridians, then poured into the Emperor Sword. The Emperor Sword instantly grew to ten thousand feet in length, standing between heaven and earth like a colossal pillar, the Three Great Law Runes on its blade intertwining into the Star River -like light curtain, the Primordial Emperor Fire burning fiercely, the golden flames like... Like a lotus flower blooming layer upon layer, it temporarily suppressed the surrounding Curse aura. Wherever the flames passed, even the air was scorched and distorted, emitting a scorching heat. With a shout, his voice shook the surrounding area, like a dragon's roar echoing through the entire Secret Realm. He then unleashed the seventh move of the Heaven Burning Sword Technique, "Prairie Fire Sword Domain." The Emperor Sword transformed into thousands of Golden Sword Light, sweeping towards the Primordial Kirin like a wildfire. The sword lights were dense as a net and sharp as knives. Wherever they passed, even the Chaos Current in the Secret Realm were shattered and turned into Void. Even space was left with dense sword marks, its power boundless, as if it would turn everything in front of it into dust.

Upon seeing this, the Primordial Kirin let out an angry roar, the sound waves stirring up clouds of dust and causing the mountains to tremble slightly, with rocks tumbling down. Its golden-red scales suddenly unfurled like blooming Flame Sect, releasing a vast expanse of Primordial True Fire, forming a massive Flame Barrier. Runes flickered on the barrier, echoing the secret patterns on the Primordial Kirin's body; each rune burned, radiating an aura of incineration, resisting the sword light's attack. This Primordial True Fire was the Origin Fire born at the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, capable of burning all things and purifying all Evil Filth. It was completely different from ordinary flames; even Golden Immortal Body, touched by even the slightest trace, would be burned to Soul Annihilation annihilated, and utterly defenseless. Simultaneously, it stomped its four hooves on the ground, its body leaping out like an arrow released from a bow, the massive Qilin claw, imbued with a power capable of tearing through the void, its tip gleaming with a chilling golden light, slammed down fiercely towards Ren Xiaoyao. The claw's wind was so sharp that it even caused tiny cracks to appear in space itself, carrying a world-destroying force that seemed poised to rip the entire world apart, giving Ren Xiaoyao no chance to breathe. Ren Xiaoyao moved with agile grace, his Primordial Movement Technique reaching its peak. He darted and weaved between the flames and Claw Shadow as if strolling in a garden, his feet tracing mysterious paths. Each turn perfectly avoided fatal attacks, turning danger into safety by the slightest margin. His Emperor Sword continuously slashed out, each strike precisely hitting the weak points of the Qilin claw, producing a clanging sound of metal clashing, sparks flying, echoing throughout the Secret Realm, and causing rocks to tumble down from the mountains—a breathtaking scene.

The battle lasted for a full three hours. The roaring sounds from the Primordial Secret Realm were incessant, shaking the universe. Even the distant Floating Mountain Range trembled slightly, as if they might collapse at any moment. Although Ren Xiaoyao was burdened by Curse, his combat power was somewhat depleted. Each time he activated his power, it caused excruciating pain in his soul. Veins bulged on his forehead, writhing like earthworms. Cold sweat soaked through his clothes, clinging tightly to his body. His face was as pale as paper, yet he still gritted his teeth and persevered, his fighting spirit undiminished. Relying on the profound foundation of the Primordial Chaos Inheritance and the Emperor Sword With his unparalleled power, he was actually evenly matched with the Primordial Kirin. The Primordial Kirin's Primordial True Fire could incinerate all things, turning vast areas of space into a sea of fire with each breath; its Kirin Horn could pierce through space, occasionally transforming into a golden streak of light that aimed directly at Ren Xiaoyao's vitals; its hard scales were impervious to blades and spears, possessing unparalleled defense, making it impossible for ordinary attacks to harm it in the slightest. However, Ren Xiaoyao's Purification Law could restrain its flames, greatly reducing the power of the Primordial True Fire. Wherever the golden Purifying Power passed, the flames... The energy would gradually dissipate; the Law of Space could evade its attacks, always managing to avoid a fatal blow at the last second, its form as elusive as a ghost; the Destruction Laws could barely break through its defenses, leaving shallow sword marks on its scales, not fatal, but still causing the Primordial Kirin considerable apprehension. The two exchanged blows, each with its own offense and Attack and Defense, making it difficult to determine a victor for a time. The Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone in the Secret Realm was shattered into countless crystal fragments, the Spiritual Qi becoming chaotic, forming Spiritual Energy Vortex that whipped up debris and dust, creating a chaotic scene. In the midst of the fierce battle, Ren Xiaoyao, with his keen insight, gradually discovered that the power of the Primordial Kirin originated from the Primordial Chaos Origin within the Secret Realm. After each attack, it would secretly absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi to replenish itself. And at the center of its brow was the Core of Origin Power, where a Golden Light Spots, of the same origin as the Secret Realm, flickered, like the brightest star in the night sky, faintly radiating the aura of the Primordial Chaos Origin. The brightness and darkness of that light were synchronized with the strength of the Qilin's attacks, which was its only weakness.

"Only by destroying its Origin Core can this beast be subdued!" A thought flashed through Ren Xiaoyao's mind. He ceased his battle with the Primordial Kirin, and golden light surged around him, like a golden sun rising in the Secret Realm, dispelling all smoke and mist and illuminating the entire world. He poured all his Golden Immortal Power and Primordial Chaos Origin into the Emperor Sword. The Three Great Law Runes on the sword flashed intensely, radiating boundless light, as if trying to break free from the sword's constraints and unleash a world-destroying aura. He chanted incantations, drawing upon the primordial Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit within his body... With the power of the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, he unleashed the ultimate secret of the Heaven Burning Sword Technique— "Primordial Chaos One Sword." This sword strike condensed the essence of his life's cultivation and the Primordial Chaos Inheritance. The sword light was no longer dazzling; instead, it was restrained into a simple and unadorned golden sword shadow. It seemed ordinary, yet it contained a terrifying power capable of splitting the heavens and World Creation, as if it could sever all Principle and tear apart all shackles. Wherever the sword shadow passed, even time seemed to stand still. Only this incomparable sword shadow remained in the world, shooting straight toward the brow of the Primordial Kirin.

The Primordial Kirin instantly sensed the deadly danger. A flicker of fear flashed in its amber eyes. It tried to dodge, but it was too late—the sword shadow, though seemingly slow, had locked onto all its escape routes. It seemed that no matter how it moved, it would be precisely struck, leaving no way to avoid it. It could only unleash its Origin Power, closing all its scales as if erecting an impenetrable wall. At the same time, it lowered its head and used its hard Kirin Horn to defend itself. The Primordial Violet Qi at the tip of the horn surged wildly, forming a Purple Shield covered with the Innate Realm runes, attempting to block the sword shadow's attack. With a soft "whoosh," the Emperor Sword... As easily as piercing thin paper, it penetrated the Kirin Horn defenses and Purple Shield, without the slightest hindrance, precisely striking its Origin Core its brows. The Primordial Kirin let out a painful howl, its voice filled with disbelief and resentment. Its massive body trembled violently, and the flames and oppressive aura around it instantly dissipated by more than half. Its golden scales lost their former luster, becoming dull and lifeless, like dusty gold and stone. Its amber eyes were filled with despair, clearly never expecting anyone to be able to break through its layers of defenses and strike its most vulnerable Origin Core.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ren Xiaoyao pressed his left hand against the Primordial Kirin's brow, slowly channeling his pure Primordial Chaos Origin into its body. Like spring rain nourishing the damaged core, he showed no intention of taking advantage of its vulnerability. "I do not intend to harm you, but merely to borrow the Origin Power the Primordial Secret Realm's origin to break the Curse," his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power, resonating like heavenly music into the Primordial Kirin's soul, gentle yet firm. "If you are willing to acknowledge me as your master, I will help you refine the Secret Realm Realm's origin, break through your cultivation barriers, and protect this Primordial Holy Land from eternal peace and external disturbances." As his words fell, the Primordial Chaos Origin within Ren Xiaoyao flowed like a gentle stream through the Qilin's meridians, repairing its damaged Origin Core, dispelling the lingering effects of the sword wound, and leaving a faint mark on its soul—the rudimentary form of Master-Servant Contract, gentle and not domineering, without any intention of coercion or constraint, entirely based on voluntariness.

The Primordial Kirin felt the pure Primordial Chaos Origin flowing slowly within its body. That power was warm and strong, rapidly repairing its damaged Origin Core and dispelling the lingering effects of the sword wound, bringing it a long-lost sense of comfort. It then focused its mind, sensing that although Ren Xiaoyao possessed Curse and malevolence within him, deep within his soul lay a pure will to protect the Three Realms. That will was firm, pure, and without any impurities, as clean and trustworthy as the Primordial Chaos Origin in the Secret Realm. After struggling for a moment, its enormous body slowly shrank, from ten thousand feet tall to about ten feet, and then... The creature, after a short while, transformed into a small, golden, and endearing Qilin. It affectionately nuzzled Ren Xiaoyao's hand, its furry texture carrying a warm aura. Its eyes were filled with docility and submission, devoid of any hostility. "I acknowledge you as my master. From this day forward, the Primordial Secret Realm and I will be at your command!" An aged and profound voice resounded in Ren Xiaoyao's mind. It was the Primordial Kirin's Soul Telepathy, conveying a willing submission without any reluctance. The Master-Servant Contract was officially formed, and a golden Contract Rune flashed between them, merging into the depths of their souls.

After subduing the Primordial Kirin, Ren Xiaoyao felt a sense of relief. The pain from the Curse between his brows lessened, and the stagnant Golden Immortal Power within his body circulated more smoothly. His complexion gradually regained its color, no longer as pale as before. The Primordial Kirin jumped onto his shoulder, nuzzling his cheek with its little head and touching his fingers with its wet nose, showing great affection. Then, it pointed towards the depths of the Secret Realm and Soul Telepathy, saying, "At the core of the Secret Realm is a Primordial Chaos Spring Eye, formed from the condensation of Primordial Chaos Origin. It is Secret Realm deep within the ' Heavenly Wave Mansion,' requiring one to traverse One-Line Sky Dangerous Path to reach it. Within that spring, there is not only the purest..." "The pure Primordial Chaos Origin Power, surrounded by three strands of Primordial Violet Qi —purple qi the original energy that sustains the world's origin—can suppress any evil and purify all filth. It will surely help you break the Curse." Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with wild joy. The Curse that had troubled him for so many days finally had a way to be broken. The fatigue and pain of the past few days vanished, and his heart was filled with hope. He immediately followed the guidance of the Primordial Kirin and headed deeper into the Secret Realm. Ahead, the glow of the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye grew increasingly intense, the golden light flowing like a tangible substance, converging on the ground into golden streams; the Origin Spiritual Energy in the air was also extremely concentrated.
