Violet Qi Returns to the Body to Suppress the Strange Beast, Evil Shadow Spans the Sky as the Emperor Descends
The lingering power of the ninth tribulation lightning had not yet dissipated. Within the Heavenly Wave Mansion, the Heavenly Thunder receded like a surging tide, replaced by a vast, warm, and mellow golden light. This golden light was not as violent and turbulent as the tribulation lightning; rather, it carried the unique vitality and profound weight of the Primordial Chaos Origin, like the rising sun piercing through billions of miles of clouds, gently yet powerfully bathing every corner of the mansion—the cracks in the jade bricks, the tops of the Coiled Dragon Pillars, the area around the spring—all were imbued with this golden light. Even the air became viscous and pure; a single breath brought a sense of comfort to the soul. Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in the center of the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye, his blood and qi surging like a rushing river, his body radiating warmth. The carbonized wounds healed rapidly under the dual nourishment of golden light and spring water: the damaged flesh re-intertwined and grew like spring vines sprouting, revealing new skin as white as jade and shimmering with a faint golden light; the broken meridians were reforged and reborn under the intertwining of Primordial Violet Qi and the Power of Creation, the Origin Power flowing between the meridians becoming increasingly pure and powerful, and even golden light could be seen rapidly shuttling through the meridians; the surface of the bones was covered with layers of lustrous jade light like Glazed Ice, every inch of the joints seemed to have been tempered a thousand times, containing indestructible power, and even the tiny cracks that had been eroded by the cursed seal had been completely healed.
The Black Curse Seal between his brows, like a candle flickering in the wind, let out a final, piercing scream. The sound was sharp and shrill, filled with resentment and despair, yet it could no longer stir even the slightest ripple within him. The last wisp of foul energy, like a startled mouse, was about to flee along his meridians when it was instantly enveloped and bound by three streams of Primordial Violet Qi —the purple qi, like a holy Flame Sect, firmly locked the foul energy, sizzling and burning in the golden light. In the blink of an eye, this Evil Filth that had haunted him for years was completely refined, transforming into specks of golden light that merged into Ren Xiaoyao's soul. In the center of his sea of consciousness, the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit floated above, the three purple qi had completely merged with it, transforming into a stable three-legged balance. The patterns on the surface of the Dao Fruit became increasingly complex and profound, like a naturally formed Primordial Chaos Dao diagram, flowing with the primordial aura of World Creation, each rotation drawing in the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to resonate with it. The Golden Immortal Power around him underwent a complete transformation during the tribulation, faintly exuding a majestic pressure beyond the Golden Immortal Realm. His meridians were expanded by more than three times, containing Origin Power like a surging river, circulating within his body without the slightest stagnation. Each flow made his aura stronger, and the golden light around him became increasingly solid.
"The tribulation is over..." The taut body of the Primordial Kirin finally relaxed slowly. A look of joy and undisguised relief flashed in its amber eyes. The barrier around it gradually receded like a tide, transforming into gentle golden-red rays of light that flowed into Ren Xiaoyao's body like streams merging into a vast ocean, replenishing the vital energy he had consumed during the tribulation and fierce battle. "Master, you have not only successfully mastered the Primordial Violet Qi, but the curse mark between your brows has also been completely eradicated! Now your Origin Power has reached a new level, already touching the threshold of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from breaking through!"
Ren Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing and disappearing in them, like two points of light condensed from billions of stars, deep and dazzling, revealing a clarity that penetrated the heavens and earth. As he rose, the golden light surrounding him danced and fluttered like a light veil, and the spring water from the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye dripped down his clothes, landing on the broken jade bricks at his feet, instantly transforming into pure Spiritual Qi that merged into the world, spreading golden ripples on the ground. He raised his hand and grasped the Emperor Sword floating beside him, and the sword immediately emitted a clear and resonant hum. The Three Great Law Runes of space, purification, and destruction on the sword lit up simultaneously, echoing the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit within his body, radiating unparalleled sharpness, as if capable of severing all illusions and evil spirits in the world. At this moment, he had not only completely broken free from the shackles of the cursed seal that had bound him for many years, but his cultivation had also made a significant leap forward. Every gesture he made carried the unique weight and majesty of the Primordial Chaos Origin, and even the air around him seemed to stagnate slightly because of this aura.
Just then, a roar that shook the universe suddenly came from the Heavenly Wave Mansion! The sound was rough and violent, like the simultaneous roar of thousands of ferocious beasts, or like the thunderclap at the Beginning of Chaos, containing the most primal and savage desire to devour, causing the entire Heavenly Wave Mansion to tremble violently—the spring water of the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye rippled violently several feet high, the Innate Dao Patterns on the nine coiled Coiled Dragon Jade Pillars flickered violently, as if they would collapse at any moment, and the dragon and phoenix patterns carved on the pillars were slightly distorted under the impact of this sound wave.
"Not good! It's Primordial Chaos Strange Beast!" The Primordial Kirin's expression changed drastically. Its amber eyes were filled with solemnity and vigilance. The radiance around its body surged instantly, reforming a faint protective shield that enveloped itself and Ren Xiaoyao. "This beast is a ferocious creature formed from the fusion of Chaos Turbid Qi and the Power of Annihilation at the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening. It feeds on the Origin Power cultivators, preying on those who have successfully transcended tribulations but whose primordial power is not yet stable! Its physical body is indestructible, comparable to a top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure. The more primordial power it devours, the stronger it becomes, and it can even continuously evolve. It's extremely troublesome!"
Before the words were even finished, a deafening roar erupted as the gate of the Heavenly Wave Mansion, carved from ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Jade and imbued with Innate Dao Patterns, shattered! Countless fragments of stone flew like a meteor shower, with larger stones crashing into the ground and creating craters several meters deep. Amidst the flying jade dust, a dense aura of Primordial Chaos Annihilation swept over. Amidst the billowing dust, a colossal Strange Beasts, its form so immense it blotted out the sky, shattered the clouds and arrived. Its landing caused the entire plaza of the Heavenly Wave Mansion to tremble violently, as if the heavens and earth had collapsed. This beast resembled a giant lion, but possessed nine heads, each one ferocious and terrifying—a blue face with exposed fangs stained with black, foul blood, and pupils burning with eerie green flames that seemed capable of scorching the very soul. Wherever it looked, a faint black mist would rise; its body was covered with a thick layer of dark black scales, covered with twisted Primordial Chaos patterns that slowly writhed like living things, exuding a dense aura of Annihilation. Each scale was like a piece of Primordial Mysterious Iron condensed over billions of years, gleaming with a cold light and reflecting the surrounding golden light; its limbs were as thick as pillars supporting the sky, and when it stepped down, even the space itself was cracked, and the jade bricks on the ground shattered into dust; behind it, nine thick tails were like nine black pythons, covered with sharp barbs, and when they swept across, they stirred up Chaos Current, and wherever they passed, the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy in the air was completely devoured, leaving only a deathly silent vacuum.
"Roar--!" The nine-headed Strange Beasts roared to the sky, its nine enormous mouths opening simultaneously, instantly forming a massive black vortex with a diameter of tens of feet. The center of the vortex was as black as ink, radiating a terrifying suction force, like an entrance to the Chaos Abyss — the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy within the Heavenly Wave Mansion was frantically drawn into it, forming torrents of white Spiritual Qi. Even the Origin Power surging at the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye was trembling slightly, as if it were about to be forcibly pulled away by this suction force. Its nine pairs of eerie green eyes locked onto Ren Xiaoyao, their gazes filled with naked greed and violence, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb. It had clearly sensed the Primordial Chaos Origin within him that had just stabilized and become extremely pure, and wanted to completely devour it to strengthen its own Chaos Origin.
"You beast, how dare you covet my origin!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, and golden light surged several feet around him, like a rising golden sun. With the Emperor Sword in hand, the Three Great Law Runes erupted simultaneously. The Law of Space was pushed to its limit, and his figure instantly Teleport a hundred feet above the Strange Beasts's head like a ghost. Ripples spread across the space beneath his feet, spreading like water. The Purification Law transformed into a huge golden light curtain, descending like the sky pressing down. The light curtain was covered with intricate Primordial Chaos Dao patterns, exuding a holy and inviolable aura, attempting to cleanse the Chaos Turbid Qi on the Strange Beasts's body. The Destruction Laws condensed at the tip of the sword, transforming into a condensed black blade with unparalleled penetrating power, piercing straight into the Strange Beasts's central head—the location of the nine-headed Strange Beasts's main brain, which was more crucial than the other heads and was also the center of power.
"Clang!" A sharp, piercing sound of metal clashing against metal resounded through the sky, like thousands of bells and drums striking simultaneously, making one's eardrums ache. Amidst the Mars sparks, the tip of the Emperor Sword slammed into the Strange Beasts's dark scales. However, the expected armor-piercing did not occur; the sword tip merely left a shallow white mark on the Strange Beasts's scales before being deflected. Instead, a terrifying recoil force traveled along the sword, causing Ren Xiaoyao's arm to go numb, his blood and qi to surge slightly, his fingers gripping the hilt to turn slightly white, and even a trace of golden blood to seep from the base of his thumb.
"This Strange Beasts's physical body is incredibly powerful!" Ren Xiaoyao was secretly shocked. He rapidly activated his Primordial Movement Technique Steps, his figure as light as a willow catkin as he dodged, barely avoiding the Strange Beasts's nine tails as they swept across. The nine tails whistled through the Sky-Rending Strike with immense force, instantly shattering hard jade bricks into dust that flew everywhere. A nearby Coiled Dragon Jade Pillars was struck by one of the tails, producing a dull thud. Several deep cracks appeared on the pillar, blurring the auspicious Dragon Phoenix Auspiciousness patterns carved on it, and fragments of stone continued to fall from the pillar. In just a few breaths, the Heavenly Wave Mansion was in ruins, with the once magnificent palaces scattered everywhere, leaving only broken walls and rubble.
Seeing its attack miss, the nine-headed Strange Beasts grew even more ferocious, its nine heads simultaneously spewing forth Primordial Chaos Black Fire. These were no ordinary Black Fire, but the flames of Primordial Chaos Annihilation Fire, jet black in color, carrying an aura of utter destruction. They ignited upon contact with the ground, scorching not only the flesh but also corroding the soul, even distorting and rippled the very space around them, emitting a pungent, corrosive stench. At the same time, nine thick Chaos Pillar of Light shot from the mouths of its nine heads, each pillar containing dense Chaos Power. Like nine long black serpents, they intertwined to form a massive black net, enveloping Ren Xiaoyao like a celestial net. Every thread of the net gleamed with a chilling light, possessing the sharpness to cut through space, attempting to trap him and prevent his escape. Once entangled, his meridians would be corroded by the Chaos Power, leading to the Soul Annihilation.
"Emperor Sword - Primordial Chaos Slash!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his voice booming like thunder. He poured all the Primordial Violet Qi within his body into the Emperor Sword without reservation. The sword instantly swelled to several meters in length, radiating golden light that illuminated the entire sky and even pierced through the clouds of the Secret Realm. The Primordial Chaos Dao patterns on the sword seemed to come alive, rapidly circulating and radiating a majestic power akin to the creation of the World Creation. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, his Origin Power surging wildly within him. The veins on his arms bulged, and his muscles became even more powerful due to the extreme exertion. He slashed down fiercely from above—a huge golden Sword Aura Sky-Rending Strike with a whistling sound, like a blade that World-Opening Technique through Primordial Chaos, colliding violently with the Chaos Net.
"Boom--!" The instant the two collided, a terrifying Energy Impact swept outwards like a tsunami, far surpassing any previous collision in power. The walls of the Heavenly Wave Mansion collapsed under the onslaught of the shockwave, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sun; the spring water from the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye was thrown into the air, transforming into a shower of golden rain, each drop containing pure Origin Power, merging with the earth upon landing and giving the surrounding land a faint golden glow; the surrounding Coiled Dragon Jade Pillars emitted a mournful hum, the cracks in their shafts becoming increasingly dense, as if they would break at any moment, the Innate Dao Patterns on them flickering erratically, their light dimming considerably. The Chaos Net was Sword Aura... A massive gap was torn open, the black threads snapping inch by inch, dissipating into specks of Chaos Aura in the air. Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity to pass through the gap, his figure flashing like a ghost, rapidly moving around the massive body of the Strange Beasts, like an eagle circling a giant mountain. His Emperor Sword unleashed dozens of consecutive thrusts, the sword light raining down, each strike precisely aimed at the gaps in the Strange Beasts's scales—the weakest point in its defense, and also the point where Spiritual Qi flowed. The Purification Law surged into the Strange Beasts's body along the sword tip, like a leech, eroding the Chaos Turbid Qi within, gradually slowing its movements, its roars now tinged with pain and anxiety.
"Master, its weakness lies between the eyebrows of the central head! That's the core of its Chaos Origin, and also its weakest point!" The Primordial Kirin leaped into the air, its body radiating intense light, transforming into several lifelike Kirin Phantoms. Each phantom exuded the same oppressive aura as the original, simultaneously lunging towards the other eight heads of the Strange Beasts. "I'll hold off the other heads; you seize the opportunity to strike, and make sure to kill them with a single blow!"
These Kirin Phantoms, imbued with the Origin Power of the Primordial Kirin, roared majestically upon their appearance, their voices resounding in all directions, colliding with the howls of the Strange Beasts and creating layers of sonic waves. The figures bared their fangs and pounced on the eight heads of the Strange Beasts, engaging them in fierce combat—some biting the Strange Beasts ' necks, others tearing at their ears. The secret runes on the Kirin Phantoms erupted, radiating a holy Primordial Chaos Power that scorched the Strange Beasts ' flesh like wildfire, causing them excruciating pain. The eight heads of the Strange Beasts thrashed wildly, trying to break free, but were held tightly by the Kirin Phantoms, unable to attend to the central brain for the moment, and could only let out angry roars.
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, his gaze sharpening, like a drawn sword, carrying an unwavering resolve. The Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit within his body spun rapidly, three streams of Primordial Violet Qi, like three golden dragons, surged down his meridians, converging at the sword tip to form an extremely condensed Golden Light Spots. This seemingly tiny point of light contained World-Destroying Power, the ultimate fusion of the Primordial Chaos Origin and the three Principle of space, purification, and destruction, condensing all his power at this moment. Using the Law of Space, he instantly Teleport to a few feet in front of the Strange Beasts's central head, ignoring the Primordial Chaos Black Fire spewing from the surrounding area and the lashing claws—those claws grazed his clothes, creating gusts of sharp wind that tore his garments in several places, but failed to harm him in the slightest. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were fixed only on that point between the Strange Beasts's brows; the Emperor Sword, with an indomitable and unstoppable momentum, shot straight towards it like a meteor piercing the darkness.
"Roar--!" Sensing the deadly threat, the central head of the Strange Beasts let out a shrill roar, its voice filled with terror. A thick layer of Primordial Chaos shield instantly appeared between its brows, the black shield covered with twisted patterns, exuding a dense aura of Annihilation, like a solid fortress, attempting to block this fatal blow. At the same time, the other eight heads launched a frenzied counterattack, unleashing even greater power, trying to break free from the entanglement of the Kirin Phantoms and block Ren Xiaoyao's attack. But the Primordial Kirin had already exhausted all its strength, the glow on the Kirin Phantoms growing ever more intense, like burning flames, biting firmly into the eight heads, refusing to let go no matter how much they struggled, even burning its own essence to unleash power far exceeding its usual strength, buying Ren Xiaoyao this fleeting opportunity.
"Pfft!" A crisp sound of armor piercing rang out, like a sharp blade cutting through silk. The Emperor Sword pierced through the Primordial Chaos Shield without any suspense, like a hot knife through butter, precisely stabbing into the Strange Beasts's brow. Golden Primordial Chaos Origin Power and the Destruction Laws erupted simultaneously within the Strange Beasts's body, raging like a volcanic eruption, instantly destroying its Origin Core. A huge bloody hole instantly exploded in the Strange Beasts's brow, and eerie green blood gushed out like a fountain, emitting a pungent stench. It fell to the ground, corroding small holes in the jade bricks, making a sizzling sound. It let out a deafening wail, its voice filled with pain and despair. Its nine heads drooped simultaneously, its massive body began to convulse violently, and the Chaos Aura around it dissipated rapidly like a receding tide. Its dark scales fell off one by one, revealing the rapidly decaying flesh inside, emitting a foul stench.
Ren Xiaoyao did not stop, knowing full well that these Primordial Chaos Strange Beast possessed tenacious vitality. If they were not completely sealed, there would be future troubles. Once their Origin Core revived, they would surely return with a vengeance. He rapidly formed hand Method Formula, golden light flashing at his fingertips. The Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit between his brows slowly flew out, transforming into a massive golden light screen in the air. The Seal Runes was covered with dense Primordial Chaos Sealing Runes, like a giant fishing net, firmly enveloping the Strange Beasts's enormous body. "Primordial Chaos Seal, Suppress!" he shouted, his voice carrying an undeniable majesty. The light screen rapidly contracted, like a tightening rope, tightly binding the Strange Beasts's body and the Origin Core of Primordial Chaos. The Strange Beasts's struggles grew weaker and weaker, finally ceasing completely, transforming into a sealed black sphere of light, hovering in mid-air, emitting faint energy fluctuations, no longer able to cause any trouble.
"Successfully suppressed!" The Primordial Kirin, completely exhausted, fell from the sky and landed steadily on Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder. It was panting heavily, its chest heaving violently, and the glow around it had dimmed considerably. The originally brilliant golden-red color had become somewhat pale, clearly indicating that the battle had consumed a great deal of its Origin Power. Its amber eyes were full of exhaustion, but also carried a trace of relief and the relief of surviving a calamity.
Ren Xiaoyao sheathed his Emperor Sword and the sealing orb, intending to sit cross-legged to recuperate—the continuous tribulations and fierce battles with Strange Beasts had significantly depleted his Origin Power, and traces of Chaos Aura still lingered in his meridians, requiring swift refinement. However, at that moment, the world suddenly changed color! The previously dissipated dark clouds reappeared from all directions, gathering at an astonishing speed, as if drawn by Invisible Power. This time, they transformed into an extremely dense black Evil Mist, blotting out the sun and darkening the entire sky of the Heavenly Wave Mansion and even the Secret Realm realm, completely obscuring the golden light emanating from the Primordial Chaos Spring Eye, unable to penetrate even a fraction. The world instantly plunged into a deathly darkness. A terrifying pressure far surpassing that of the Primordial Chaos Strange Beast descended from the sky, like a towering mountain pressing down on their hearts, making it difficult for Ren Xiaoyao and the Primordial Kirin to breathe. The entire Secret Realm trembled violently, and the Primordial Chaos currents in the distance churned wildly, scattering countless Chaos Fragments in all directions, as if the end of the world had arrived.
From within the Evil Mist, a tall, slender black figure slowly emerged, like an emperor descended from the Nine Nether Hell, exuding an aura of absolute majesty and malevolence. He wore a Mysterious Black Emperor Robe, the hem embroidered with grotesque and terrifying Asura patterns. Every Dao Patterns seemed to writhe, radiating a chilling Evil Aura, as if each Asura was roaring and slaughtering. Wisps of black evil energy swirled around him, like living venomous snakes, constantly writhing and coiling. Wherever the evil energy passed, space slowly corroded and collapsed, leaving behind black marks, like ink-stained paper, lingering for a long time. His face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, yet it carried an endless chill and indifference, as if all things in the world were ants, and life, death, honor, and disgrace were irrelevant to him. His eyes were bottomless black, like two pitch-black vortexes, seemingly capable of devouring all light and hope. Just a glance from him was enough to make one's mind tremble. He hovered in mid-air, not emitting any strong energy fluctuations, yet Ren Xiaoyao and the Primordial Kirin felt a tremor from the depths of their souls, and even the Origin Power within their bodies seemed to stagnate, as if suppressed by some Invisible Power.
"The Evil Emperor!" the Primordial Kirin exclaimed in shock, its amber eyes filled with disbelief and horror. Its body trembled slightly, and even its voice trembled. "The legendary Great Emperor controls all evil in the world, an old monster who has lived for countless millennia, has vanished for tens of thousands of years. How could he appear here?!"
