Primordial Chaos World-Breaking: Treasure Seizure in the Immortal Prison, Ascension Through the Rift
As Ren Xiaoyao shattered the Spirit Gathering Formation's light barrier in the Tranquility Hall, the golden-blue Spiritual Qi surrounding him had solidified into a fine, metallic sheen, shimmering in the morning light. The Demonic Baleful Energy of demonic energy remaining from the Demon Emperor, like ice and snow exposed to fire, dissipated into wisps of smoke under the residual power of the Primordial Chaos Stone, leaving only pure Spiritual Qi and a faint, Primordial Chaos fragrance in the air. The three robust Spirit Vein he had seized from the Demon Realm were now melting away at a visible speed, like three rushing Spirit River, transforming into extremely pure Spiritual Qi that surged ceaselessly along his meridians, which had widened several times over. Wherever they passed, the damaged meridians repaired themselves at an astonishing rate, like parched land receiving rain.
His fingertips traced the Storage Ring, and a jade slip engraved with profound Demonic Runes shone warmly in his palm. It was the very same <Myriad Demon Soul Devouring Art> that had driven Su Wannian mad. At this moment, the Demonic Runes on the jade slip seemed to come alive, intertwining and entwining with the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy flowing around him, like ice and fire merging, or yin and yang harmonizing, already showing the initial signs of transformation into Immortal Dao. New runes were faintly sprouting on the surface of the jade slip, these runes possessing both the unpredictability of Demonic Runes and the solemnity of the Immortal Dao, like the first covenant at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. Ren Xiaoyao could clearly sense that this Devil Cultivation Method, once filled with malevolence, was being nurtured by the Primordial Chaos Origin, transforming into a more inclusive and peerless Cultivation Method.
But this brief peace was fleeting. The golden Wanted Poster of the Lingxiao Palace hung like a sword overhead, piercing through the thick clouds and reflecting on the Glazed Ice of the Tranquility Hall, radiating a chilling pressure that made the air inside stagnant. The figure in the gray-robed Daoist of the Qingxu Sect and the pink-skirted cultivator of Hundred Flowers Valley had already swept across three thousand miles of clouds, their pursuit like a leech, and even from ten thousand miles away, one could clearly sense the malice mixed with greed, killing intent, and jealousy. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes darkened. He knew that although his cultivation had recovered to sixty percent, it was still insufficient to contend with the entire orthodox sect of the Immortal Realm — the Profound Heaven Great Emperor reigned over Lingxiao, with a gathering of Grand Unity Golden Immortal under his command, and countless Immortal Sect. If he were surrounded, he would surely die without a burial place. He had to obtain the capital to turn the tide of the battle before the encirclement was complete.
"The Immortal Realm's Treasure Vault... the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion." A sharp, cold glint flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes as fragments of memories from the Dual Emperor Inheritance flooded into his sea of consciousness like a tidal wave. That nine-story pavilion, hidden deep within the Lingxiao Palace, was a treasure trove left behind by the High Antiquity Immortal Domain. It was jointly created by three High Antiquity Immortal Venerable Venerables, with the outer layer surrounded by the "Nine Heavens Immortal Luo Array," and each inner layer containing restrictions set up by successive Immortal Venerable, making it as solid as a rock. The pavilion not only contained hundreds of High-grade Immortal Artifact, Thousand-year Spirit Liquid, High Antiquity jade slips, and a vast amount of treasures, but also sealed a wisp of Chaos Origin Qi left over from the Beginning of Chaos at the top. That energy was of the same origin as the Primordial Chaos Origin within his body, and its purity far exceeded that of the Primordial Chaos Stone. If he could refine it, he could not only instantly replenish his lost essence, but also have the potential to directly touch the threshold of the Late-stage Golden Immortal stage, and even glimpse the mysteries of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
At this moment, most of the Immortal Realm's forces have been deployed to the Southern Heaven Barrier to search for him, leaving the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion with less than 30% of its usual guard force, making its defenses exceptionally weak for the first time in a century. More importantly, the Primordial Chaos Origin within him shares the same source as the core Spiritual Qi of the "Nine Heavens Immortal Luo Array," which might allow them to find a flaw in the formation. This is the perfect opportunity to seize the treasure.
With a swift movement, Golden-Azure Streamer pierced the sky. The Lingxiao Palace Primordial Chaos Steps was activated to its limit, and faint ripples of Primordial Chaos emanated from beneath his feet, as if each step treaded on a point in time and space. The "Nine Heavens Immortal Luo Array" outside the Lingxiao Palace was originally laid out by three Grand Unity Golden Immortal working together. At the array's core, Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi flowed continuously, and countless runes intertwined to form an impenetrable light curtain, like a giant net covering heaven and earth, radiating an aura that suppressed all things. However, Ren Xiaoyao's Primordial Chaos Origin acted like the perfect key, resonating miraculously with the Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi at the array's core. Those originally incomparably sharp runes all yielded, as if encountering a king's subjects, forcefully tearing open a gap about ten feet wide.
He moved through the hall like a ghost. The Golden Armored Divine General patrolling inside were all at the Early-stage Golden Immortal, and their reactions were incredibly fast. However, faced with the extreme speed of the Primordial Chaos Steps, they only saw a flash of golden-blue light before a chill ran down their necks, and then they lost consciousness. Blood sprayed onto the pure white jade floor, turning into flamboyant blood flowers, a stark contrast to the solemn atmosphere inside the hall.
The vermilion gates of the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion stood majestically, hundreds of feet high, engraved with High Antiquity seal script. Each character contained the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, radiating an aura that suppressed all things. Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand and placed it on the gate. Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy flowed into the immortal seal script like a stream, instantly dimming the once radiant characters, as if their souls had been ripped away. With a loud "boom," the heavy gates swung open, and an extremely rich Spiritual Qi rushed out, mixed with a faint fragrance of treasures, invigorating Ren Xiaoyao's spirit.
Stepping into the first floor of the pavilion, countless treasures come into view, dazzling the eye: hundreds of High-grade Immortal Artifact float in mid-air, including swords, spears, halberds, musical instruments, calligraphy, and paintings. A longsword named "Demon Slaying Sword -Slaying Sword" exudes a chilling aura of Metal Qi, with runes flowing across its blade, faintly emitting the roar of a dragon; a "Soul Stabilizing Mirror" floats in the center of a jade shelf, its smooth surface reflecting the cultivator's soul, radiating a gentle yet powerful protective aura; there is also a "Flowing Cloud Fan," its Fan Surface painted with a vast landscape, capable of stirring up wind and clouds with a mesmerizing wave, possessing boundless power. Each Immortal Artifact radiates a sharp edge, the Sword Qi and the clang of the weapons intertwining to create a melodious symphony, as if telling High Antiquity legends.
Dozens of Glazed Ice bottles were neatly arranged on a jade shelf on the other side. The Thousand-year Spirit Liquid inside flowed with an amber luster, like solidified sunlight. The Spiritual Qi overflowing from the bottle mouths was so dense that it almost solidified, turning into a faint white mist that swirled around the jade shelf. Inhaling a single breath would soothe the meridians and stir the Primordial Chaos Origin within the body. Countless High Antiquity slips, protective jade pendants, and spirit-gathering compasses were piled up like hills. Picking up any one of them would be enough to make Golden Immortal cultivators flock to them. A jade slip engraved with the words "Invisibility Talisman" could make a cultivator conceal their form from Golden Immortal for half an hour; a Water Repelling Pendant that was entirely green could allow a cultivator to move freely in the deep sea and could also resist attacks from Water System Divine Ability.
Without hesitation, he raised his left hand, and the Storage Ring instantly unleashed its Devouring Power, like a bottomless Black Hole, sweeping in half of the treasures. The space inside the Storage Ring was bulging with the abundant Spiritual Qi, and the Immortal Artifact, spiritual liquids, and jade slips were arranged in an orderly fashion, each emanating its own aura. With his right hand, he summoned the World-Breaking Sword, and the golden-blue Sword Qi swept out, instantly detonating the remaining treasures— the Immortal Artifact, the white mist of the evaporating spiritual liquid filling the entire pavilion, and the spiritual light from the exploding jade slips intertwining like countless stars in the sky. The explosions shook the entire pavilion, and dust and gravel fell in a flurry, buying him precious time.
"How dare you, you brat!" A furious roar shattered the clouds, like a thunderclap exploding atop the pavilion, containing boundless rage and majesty. The four guardian True Lord of the Lingxiao Palace arrived together, all clad in purple-gold armor, their armor covered in Defense Runes. Their immortal Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi solidified into a tangible form, like four towering mountains pressing down, causing the entire pavilion's space to freeze, even the air becoming incredibly heavy.
The leading Thunder Punishment True Lord wielded the Thunder God Hammer, its head crackling with purple lightning like a lurking Thunder Dragon. With a wave of his hand, countless Thunder Snake danced wildly, and purple lightning cascaded down like a waterfall, shattering the space with countless cracks and radiating an aura of destruction, as if to reduce the entire pavilion to dust. To his left, Wind Blade True Lord unleashed his natal immortal Immortal Treasure, the "Wind Splitting Wheel." The wheel was three zhang in diameter, its edges covered with sharp teeth. As it spun, it emitted a piercing sound as it tore through the air, and countless wind blades transformed into a storm of sharp blades, like a tornado. A fierce storm swept in, shredding jade shelves and Glazed Ice bottles in its wake, sending wood chips and fragments flying everywhere. On the right, the Flame True Lord held the Heaven Burning Seal in his palm, its body forged from ten-thousand-year-old volcanic rock, ablaze with blazing immortal Immortal Fire. The flames were a deep crimson gold, their temperature so high that the air itself began to distort; distant walls were already glowing red-hot, showing signs of melting. Finally, the Ice Soul True Lord waved the Ice Soul Fan, its Fan Surface sculpted from ten-thousand-year-old ice, radiating a bone-chilling cold. A blanket of icy air descended, instantly freezing the pavilion floor solid. Countless ice spikes burst from the ground like sharp spears, piercing towards Ren Xiaoyao. Moisture in the air condensed into Ice Crystals, fluttering down in a flurry.
Ren Xiaoyao advanced instead of retreating, his feet tracing mysterious paths with the Primordial Chaos Steps. His figure moved nimbly among the lightning, wind blades, Immortal Fire, and ice cones, as if strolling in a garden. At times, his figure transformed into a Golden-Azure Streamer, and at other times, he split into several afterimages, causing the attacks of the four True Lord to miss completely. The World-Breaking Sword in his hand spun a perfect Sword Flower, Golden-Azure Dual Color Sword Qi surged a thousand feet, like two intertwined rainbows. "Dual Emperor Fusion, World Creation Primordial Chaos World-Breaking Slash!" With a low shout, the Sword Qi was like a blade that split the heavens and the earth, forcefully tearing apart the lightning and wind blades. The Immortal Fire was extinguished by the Primordial Chaos Pure Qi in the Sword Qi, turning into wisps of green smoke, while the ice cones instantly turned into dust and dissipated into the air.
His figure flashed, appearing before Thunder Punishment True Lord as if by Teleport, the blade slicing through the latter's Heart-Protecting Mirror. That Heart-Protecting Mirror, High-grade Immortal Artifact, capable of withstanding the full force of Late-stage Golden Immortal's attack, was utterly vulnerable to the edge of the World-Breaking Sword, leaving a deep, bone-revealing crack. Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi leaked from the crack, gushing forth like a fountain. Thunder Punishment True Lord's face paled, he groaned, and staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Your Immortal Realm cannot tolerate loyal and virtuous people, only knowing how to form cliques and covet treasures. Don't blame me for seizing the treasure to uphold my dignity!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the entire pavilion. He flicked a fragment of the Primordial Chaos Stone from his fingertip. Although the fragment was only the size of a fingernail, it seemed to contain a Chaos Universe, instantly bursting forth with a vast and boundless Primordial Chaos energy, sweeping out like a tidal wave. The Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi of the four True Lord was suppressed and stagnated in the face of the Primordial Chaos energy, its circulation slowed by a full thirty percent. They felt as if their Spiritual Qi was trapped in a quagmire, each circulation extremely difficult. The expressions of Thunder Punishment True Lord and the others changed drastically. They did not expect that Ren Xiaoyao would have such a treasure. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortal would be wary of such Chaos Power, let alone them, who were only Late-stage Golden Immortal.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, all the treasures inside the pavilion were destroyed, and the ground was covered with bottomless cracks, like a giant spider web. Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi and Primordial Chaos pure energy intertwined and collided, emitting piercing shrieks that hurt the eardrums. Ren Xiaoyao's left arm was grazed by the Heaven Burning Seal of the Flame True Lord. The scorching Immortal Fire burned his flesh, making a "sizzling" sound. Blood soaked through his robes, revealing the charred wound underneath, which brought waves of excruciating pain. But his eyes became even sharper, like a sword drawn from its sheath, and the World-Breaking Sword in his hand became even more fierce, each swing carrying the power to World Creation.
Under the cover of the Primordial Chaos pure energy, he charged towards Ice Soul True Lord. Ice Soul True Lord's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved his Ice Soul Fan, instantly forming countless ice walls in front of him. However, the Sword Qi of the World-Breaking Sword was unstoppable, shattering the ice walls one by one as easily as cutting tofu. The blade, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, precisely pierced through the opponent's dantian. Ice Soul True Lord's body stiffened abruptly, his Immortal Dao essence instantly dissipated, his eyes filled with resentment and fear. With a miserable scream, his body turned into specks of spiritual light and vanished into the air, leaving only a Storage Ring on the ground.
Enraged by this, the three Thunder Punishment True Lord 'Thunder Punishment True Lord Thunder God Hammer contained even greater Thunder Force, and the purple Thunder Snake seemed to possess sentience, tightly coiling around Ren Xiaoyao; Wind Blade True Lord's Wind Splitting Wheel spun even faster, and the number of wind blades multiplied several times, forming an impenetrable Attack Net; Flame True Lord raised the Heaven Burning Seal high, and crimson-gold Immortal Fire condensed into a giant firebird, swooping down towards Ren Xiaoyao with an aura of annihilation.
Ren Xiaoyao, however, no longer lingered in battle. His figure suddenly accelerated, like a golden-blue lightning bolt, rushing upwards along the pavilion's stairs. The "Bewitching Immortal Array" on the second floor could trap people in illusions, causing them to lose their true selves, but Ren Xiaoyao's Primordial Chaos Origin was pure and pristine. The illusions shattered like bubbles before him, utterly vulnerable. The "Immortal Slaying Sword Pattern" on the third floor contained a sharp killing intent and could automatically attack intruders, but it was severed by him with a single sword strike, the sword pattern instantly dimming. The restrictions on the fourth to eighth floors were either strong in defense, unpredictable in attack, or contained spatial power, but they were all forcibly broken through by him as if they were made of paper. In just a few breaths, he had already rushed to the top floor of the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion.
The top floor was completely different from the floors below. There were no treasures, only a vast empty space with a crystal coffin floating in the center. The crystal coffin was transparent and emitted a faint Chaos Aura. Inside the coffin was a wisp of milky white energy, like a small silver snake, which was the Chaos Origin Qi. Although the energy was as thin as a hair, it contained an extremely powerful energy, causing the Primordial Chaos Origin within Ren Xiaoyao's body to stir, as if he had encountered a long-lost relative.
The moment his fingertips touched the crystal coffin, the coffin shattered into countless shimmering fragments. The Chaos Origin Qi, as if imbued with sentience, flew towards his fingertips. Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the stairwell. Thunder Punishment True Lord roared as he charged down the stairs, blood still flowing from the wound on his left arm. His eyes were filled with a crazed killing intent. Behind him followed Wind Blade True Lord and Flame True Lord, both of whom were also struggling with their auras, clearly having expended considerable energy in the fierce battle just now.
"Not good! He's trying to seize the Primordial Chaos Qi!" Thunder Punishment True Lord roared, his Thunder God Hammer once again condensing purple lightning as he slammed it towards Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao countered with a backhand sword strike, his golden-blue sword Sword Qi flying out like a bolt of lightning, severing Thunder Punishment True Lord's left arm. Thunder Punishment True Lord screamed in agony, flying backward and crashing into the corner of the stairs, unconscious. Wind Blade True Lord and Flame True Lord's expressions changed drastically, and they dared not advance rashly any further.
Ren Xiaoyao ignored them and absorbed the Chaos Origin Qi into his body. Instantly, the Spiritual Qi around him surged wildly, like a flood bursting its banks. The Primordial Chaos Origin within him surged by 30%, like rain after a long drought. His meridians widened several times over, and his previously damaged left arm healed rapidly, the charred wound falling off to reveal tender new flesh underneath. He could clearly sense that his cultivation was rapidly improving, only one step away from the Late-stage Golden Immortal realm.
His gaze swept across the top floor, where he saw a fist-sized pearl placed in a corner. The pearl was dark gold in color, its surface covered with densely packed boundary runes, radiating an aura of spatial stability. It was none other than the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion's prized treasure, the "Boundary Stabilizing Pearl." This pearl was crafted by an High Antiquity Immortal Venerable from Primordial Chaos stones, capable of stabilizing space, defending against boundary attacks, and even allowing free movement through Space Cracks —a supreme treasure. Without hesitation, Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, storing the Boundary Stabilizing Pearl in his Storage Ring. He then turned and crashed through the pavilion's dome, transforming into a streak of Golden-Azure Streamer as he vanished.
Behind him, the Profound Heaven Great Emperor arrived in person, accompanied by the Lingxiao Palace Master, the Qingxu Sect Master, and the Hundred Flowers Valley Mistress. The Profound Heaven Great Emperor wore Nine Dragon Emperor Robe, the nine Divine Dragon on it lifelike, as if they might soar into the sky at any moment. He wore Purple-Gold Crown, his face majestic, and the aura of Grand Unity Golden Immortal swept across the heavens and earth, causing the entire Lingxiao Palace to tremble slightly. The sea of clouds below churned ceaselessly, like boiling water. Looking at the devastated Immortal Suppressing Pavilion, the severed arm of the Thunder Punishment True Lord, and the dissipated spiritual light of the Ice Soul True Lord, his dragon-like face was filled with fury, his eyes blazing with killing intent. His voice boomed like thunder. "Ren Xiaoyao, today I will make sure your soul is annihilated!"
The Lingxiao Palace Master, dressed in a cyan-gold Daoist robe and holding a whisk, had a sinister face, his expression so dark it seemed to drip water. "Your Great Emperor, rest assured, I have ordered the sealing of the four directions of the sky, laying a net of the Immortal Realm and earth. He cannot escape!" The Qingxu Sect Master was an old man with white hair and beard, holding a Qingxu sword in his hand, the blade radiating a chilling aura. His eyes were filled with hatred. "This brat killed my sect's elders and stole my immortal treasures. This old Daoist will personally slay him to appease the spirit of Xuan Chenzi in heaven!" The Hundred Flowers Valley Mistress, dressed in a pink dress, had a beautiful face but venomous eyes, and a faint poisonous mist swirled around her. "Ren Xiaoyao, you took my things and killed my people. Today, I will let you taste the power of the Hundred Flowers Poison Scripture, making you wish you were dead!"
Ren Xiaoyao continued westward, pursued by a multitude of enemies. The Profound Heaven Great Emperor led seven Grand Unity Golden Immortal, dozens of Golden Immortal experts, and countless Heavenly Soldiers and generals—a vast Immortal Dao Divine Ability force. The light of their immortal powers illuminated half the sky, like a shower of stars falling from the heavens, a terrifying sight. He dared not linger in battle, pushing his Primordial Chaos Steps to their limit, his speed breaking the sound barrier. The mountains and rivers along the way rushed past him, becoming blurry afterimages. He knew that only at the Immortal-Demon Border could he find a glimmer of hope.
The Immortal-Demon Border is a place where the Principle of the two realms intertwine. Chaos Current permeate the air, like rolling dark clouds, and the Space Barrier are extremely fragile, with Space Cracks and Chaos Vortex frequently appearing, exuding a dangerous aura. This place not only possesses abundant Primordial Chaos resources but also the remnants and treasures of countless immortal Devil Cultivator who perished in Ancient Times. It is an excellent place for breakthroughs, but also the most dangerous Forbidden Land. Over the years, countless cultivators have ventured into this place in search of breakthroughs, only to become nourishment for the Chaos Current, leaving No Existence.
Upon reaching the boundary, Ren Xiaoyao was cornered by his pursuers. The Profound Heaven Great Emperor led the group to form the "Immortal Slaying Great Array," a light curtain like a giant dome enveloping the entire boundary. The power of Immortal Dao was like a net, each thread containing a chilling killing intent, intent on trapping and killing him. Within the formation, seven Grand Unity Golden Immortal stood in seven different positions, their Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi forming a terrifying pressure that made Ren Xiaoyao's breathing difficult and greatly hindered the Fortune within his body.
"Ren Xiaoyao, hand over the Chaos Origin Qi, the Boundary Stabilizing Pearl, and all the treasures you seized from the Demon Realm. Cripple your cultivation, kneel and submit, and perhaps you may be spared a whole corpse!" The Lingxiao Palace Master stood before the formation and shouted sternly, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty, like an emperor pronouncing the fate of a sinner.
Ren Xiaoyao stood in the center of the rift, with churning Chaos Current behind him and Killing Intent pursuers before him. Yet, he showed no fear, instead laughing loudly, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain. "If you want treasures, then take them with your own abilities! Profound Heaven Great Emperor, Lingxiao Palace Master, you, the orthodox lineage of the Immortal Realm, are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. You talk about upholding justice and protecting the Immortal Realm, but behind your backs, you are jealous of talent and greedy for treasures. Today, I will show you what true Immortal Dao is!"
Before he finished speaking, he threw out all the Spirit Vein, spiritual liquids, and treasures in his Storage Ring. The three Demon Realm Spirit Vein that were not yet fully refined instantly shattered, turning into a torrent of Spiritual Qi, like three giant dragons raging through the rift; dozens of bottles of Thousand-year Spirit Liquid evaporated, the Spiritual Qi so dense that it almost turned into liquid, forming a huge cloud of Spiritual Qi; and the High-grade Immortal Artifact and High Antiquity jade slips he had obtained from the Immortal Suppressing Pavilion also became nourishment for his breakthrough, shattering one after another and releasing the energy contained within.
Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, fully activating the Primordial Chaos Origin. The Primordial Chaos pure energy merged with the Chaos Current in the rift, forming a terrifying Energy Storm that enveloped him. Within the storm, golden and azure lights intertwined, like the first rays of light at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, radiating a mysterious and powerful aura. The Demonic Runes of the <Myriad Demon Soul Devouring Art> flew out from the jade slip, completely merging with the Immortal Dao Principle Dual Emperor Inheritance within his body. The malevolent energy within the Demonic Runes Primordial Chaos Origin, transforming into pure energy. The righteousness of the Immortal Dao Devil Cultivation Method Principle each other, forming a perfect synergy, transforming into a brand-new Cultivation Method, <Primordial Chaos Heaven Devouring Art>.
Once the Cultivation Method, his aura surged wildly—the barrier of the Mid-stage Golden Immortal shattered instantly like paper, and Spiritual Qi surged forth like a flood bursting its banks; then came the Late-stage Golden Immortal, his meridians were widened to their limit, his Primordial Chaos Origin became even purer, and its power increased several times over; in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Peak, only one step away from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal! His aura was like an erupting volcano, sweeping across the entire rift, causing even the pursuers in the distance to feel a chill run down their spines.
"What?! He's actually breaking through!" The Hundred Flowers Valley Mistress's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with disbelief. She hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao to be so audacious as to break through his cultivation level while surrounded by pursuers. She waved her hand, unleashing the Hundred Flowers Poison Mist. The mist was pale pink and contained a Bone Erosion poison capable of corroding Immortal Vein and annihilating Immortal Soul, sweeping towards Ren Xiaoyao. However, the moment the poison mist touched the Energy Storm, it was instantly purified by the Primordial Chaos energy erupting during his breakthrough, turning into wisps of non-toxic green smoke and dissipating without leaving a trace.
Ren Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with Primordial Chaos light, as if containing a cosmic Star River, deep and mysterious. The World-Breaking Sword in his hand, nourished by the Energy Storm, had evolved into Chaos-grade Divine Weapon. On its blade, Dragon Phoenix Phantom circled and danced, emitting roars that shook the heavens and earth. Golden and azure lights intertwined, radiating a sacred and majestic aura, as if capable of severing all illusions in the world. The Primordial Chaos energy around him solidified like armor, shimmering with a metallic luster. With each breath, he stirred the Chaos Current within the rift, and the pressure of Golden Immortal Peak swept out, causing the light screen of the Immortal Slaying Great Array to tremble slightly, revealing tiny cracks.
"What is there to fear from Grand Unity Golden Immortal!" He soared into the air, his figure like an arrow released from a bow. As the <Primordial Chaos Heaven Devouring Art> was activated, the Chaos Current in the rift and the immortal attacks of the Immortal Dao were all devoured by him, transforming into his own cultivation, making his aura even stronger. The World-Breaking Sword swept out horizontally, its golden-blue Sword Qi reaching ten thousand feet in length, like a sharp blade sweeping across the heavens and earth, carrying the power to World Creation, and fiercely slashed at the light screen of the Immortal Slaying Great Array. With a crisp "crack", spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the light screen, the cracks spreading rapidly like a tide, and after a moment, it completely collapsed, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.
Profound Heaven Great Emperor's expression changed, his eyes filled with shock and apprehension. He hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao to possess such terrifying strength after his breakthrough. Without hesitation, he summoned his Natal Magic Treasure, the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Nine lifelike divine Divine Dragon were carved on the cauldron's body, radiating an aura that suppressed heaven and earth, and he smashed it towards Ren Xiaoyao. The Nine Dragon Cauldron continued to grow in the air, instantly transforming into a size of ten thousand feet, like a towering mountain, carrying the power to destroy everything.
Ren Xiaoyao neither dodged nor evaded, his World-Breaking Sword piercing straight into the Nine Dragon Cauldron. The instant the golden-blue Sword Qi collided with the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the phantom of the Divine Dragon Phantoms dragon let out a painful roar, and the cauldron was cleaved in two by the sword. Profound Heaven Great Emperor was shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with heartache and anger— the Nine Dragon Cauldron was his Natal Magic Treasure, which he had spent ten thousand years refining, possessing boundless power, yet today it had been cleaved in two by a mere Golden Immortal junior. How could he not be furious?
Seeing this, the seven Grand Unity Golden Immortal attacked simultaneously, their Immortal Dao Divine Ability raining down like a sky full of stars. There was the "Heaven Burning Art," imbued with the power of fire; the "Ice Seals Ten Thousand Miles," imbued with the power of frost; and the "Lightning Shakes the Nine Heavens," imbued with the Thunder Force. Each Divine Ability possessed earth-shattering power, enough to pulverize Golden Immortal cultivator. Ren Xiaoyao's figure flashed, his Primordial Chaos Steps operating at its peak, weaving through the divine abilities as if strolling in Divine Ability. With each swing of his World-Breaking Sword, a Divine Ability was shattered; with each collision, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was shaken, coughing up blood and losing their footing. The Immortal Slaying Great Array instantly collapsed, no longer able to form an effective encirclement.
"Let's put this matter aside for now!" Ren Xiaoyao stood atop the Chaos Current, his aura soaring like a rainbow, his golden and azure Spiritual Qi fluttering like a battle robe. His voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the entire rift, "If the Immortal Realm continues to push us too far, I will raze the Lingxiao Palace to the ground, reshape the Immortal Realm Order, and make those hypocrites pay the price they deserve!"
Having said that, he ignored the furious Profound Heaven Great Emperor and the others behind him, turned around and leaped into the depths of the rift. The Chaos Current there was even more powerful, like a surging river or sea. The aura of High Antiquity Primordial Chaos was leaked from the Space Cracks from time to time, and the Origin Power of countless Fallen Immortal Demons floated in it, like stars in the sky, enough for him to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.
Behind him, the Profound Heaven Great Emperor watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with apprehension and killing intent. His Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi surged like boiling water, yet he dared not rashly pursue him. The Principle within the rift were chaotic, and the Chaos Current was turbulent. A slight misstep could lead to being swallowed by the Space Cracks and never to return. Moreover, Ren Xiaoyao had already broken through to the Golden Immortal Peak and had mastered the Chaos Power and the <Primordial Chaos Heaven Devouring Art>, making his strength unfathomable. Pursuing him now would be tantamount to inviting humiliation. The Lingxiao Palace Master, the Qingxu Sect Master, and the Hundred Flowers Valley Mistress all had ashen faces, but they were helpless and could only watch Ren Xiaoyao's figure disappear into the Depths of Chaos, their eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Ren Xiaoyao's name became a taboo in the Immortal Realm overnight. The balance of power between the Immortal and Demon Realms was completely rewritten by this earth-shattering treasure hunt and breakthrough. Deep within the rift, Chaos Current swirled, and Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, his body radiating golden-blue light, beginning his assault on the chasm between Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He could clearly sense that the realm ahead was like a towering mountain, and the energy within him was abundant enough; he only needed to comprehend that final trace of Principle to successfully reach the summit. His legend had only just begun its most magnificent chapter.
