Above the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, the being that emerged from the Causal Soul Logic Realm Abyss finally stabilized its form.
It is completely different from the Master Soul Dominion that appeared in the Withered Bones Fallen Abyss.
That one was about domination, enslavement, and the cold-blooded harvesting centered on the main soul; while the being standing atop the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh was more like a living abyss.
The chaotic mist surrounding it no longer merely surged, but was constantly "devouring"—the causal threads dissipating between heaven and earth, fragments of broken rules, and even traces of existence that had not completely dissipated after the fall of cultivators, would be forcibly pulled and compressed within a hundred feet of it, ultimately sinking into its seemingly bottomless core of existence. With each devouring, its aura became more solidified, and the level of chaos deepened accordingly, as if this entire misty swamp itself was being "eaten" away by it little by little.
Chaos Realm - Ultimate.
It is not a beginner, nor a mere dabbler, but a being that truly stands at the pinnacle of this realm. Its very existence is a desecration of the causal order and a provocation against the logic of heaven and earth.
At that very moment, Xi Huanluo.
She didn't act immediately, but slowly raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and gently pressed her palm down.
There was no explosion, no beam of light shooting into the sky.
The next instant, the area within a hundred miles of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall disciples and the seriously injured elder suddenly fell silent—a Fallen Dawn Light Realm, like a thin curtain of starry night, unfolded from the void. The light realm was not a closed sphere, but was composed of countless intersecting light patterns, like a meticulously written annotation of heaven and earth, forcibly separating that area from the "devouring logic" of the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh.
The swirling mist rushed towards the realm of light, but was silently diverted and evaporated upon contact. It was as if those rules, capable of devouring cause and effect, had lost their qualification as "targets" before the realm of light. The disciples felt their bodies lighten, and the oppressive feeling that almost tore their souls apart suddenly disappeared, replaced by an extremely stable yet awe-inspiring protective power.
Xiao Jinyu stared blankly at that retreating figure, his throat tightening, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Xi Huanluo had already turned around.
She stood between the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh and the Causal Soul Logic Realm Abyss, with the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall's array behind her completely protected, and in front of her, the Chaos Ultimate Master Soul Dominion slowly bowing down to look down at her.
In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to be split in two.
Her vital energy was fully unleashed.
The chaos surrounding her was not violent, but rather presented an extremely condensed state, like a star core compressed to its Limit. The power of the Fallen Dawn emanated from her body layer by layer, but it did not spread recklessly; instead, it unfolded along some invisible trajectory.
The clouds in the sky were silently smoothed out, the churning of the mist was forcibly suppressed, and even the vortex of cause and effect that the Master Soul Dominion and continuously devoured around it paused for a very short time at this moment.
For the first time, two beings at the Chaos Realm · Extremity truly clashed.
No words were spoken.
But from a higher "logical perspective," the collision had already occurred. The invisible impact reverberated repeatedly above the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, stretching space into a strange arc, causing a dislocation in the flow of time between the two, and fragments of rules that were not yet fully stable in the distance collapsed in pieces, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.
The main Master Soul Dominion slowly raised its head, its scarlet eyes truly gazing at Xi Huanluo for the first time. The flow of logic within the crack in its chest cavity suddenly accelerated, as if it had become "interested" in her existence.
Xi Huanluo quietly.
Her robes fluttered slightly in the windless sky, her gaze was cold and steady, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if she had already deduced everything before her.
The sky Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, hangs low and seems about to crack. A true battle of chaotic magnitudes is about to unfold.
The Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, completely lost the concept of "stability" at that moment.
The Master Soul Dominion truly activated for the first time.
It roared, made no superfluous movements, but its enormous body, covered in chaotic scales, leaned slightly forward, and the core of existence deep within its chest, resembling a chasm in an abyss, suddenly trembled—in an instant, the rules of the entire misty swamp seemed to be forcibly pulled into its body. The devouring did not begin from the outside, but rather from the collapse of logic itself; the causal connections upon which cultivators depended for existence were gradually stripped away, and a near-silent yet chilling "empty hum" echoed between heaven and earth.
The logic of devouring collided head-on with the power of the Fallen Dawn for the first time.
The void beneath Xi Huanluo suddenly sank. She clearly sensed that it wasn't a contest of power, but a clash of "modes of existence"—the other party was trying to return everything to the chaotic cycle within its belly, while what she held was the power to compress, reconstruct, and even collapse chaos into nothingness. The two chaotic concepts squeezed each other above the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, stretching space into a strange arc, causing time to fracture and shift in layers. Fragments of rules in the distance fell like rain, only to be annihilated by an invisible force halfway through.
In the midst of this brief stalemate, Xi Huanluo his move.
She raised her right hand, palm facing forward, knuckles slightly curled.
In the instant she unleashed her power, it was as if a drop of invisible water had been poured into the heavens and earth. Within a hundred meters of her, the void rippled with a glassy dimensional fold, as if layers of transparent spatial membranes had been simultaneously disturbed. Countless seven-colored chaotic particles emerged from nothingness, converging on her palm like fireflies. These were not light, but fragments of undefined existence, each containing primordial information undifferentiated by yin and yang. They rapidly compressed, eventually condensing into a fist-sized chaotic core in her palm, its surface interwoven with black and white light, pulsating slowly. With each pulsation, the surrounding air was distorted by gravity into visible ripples.
The distant mountains began to tilt, the clouds were stretched into arcs, and the mist that Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh was drawn towards the core as if by an invisible giant maw.
Xi Huanluo's gaze was calm as he suddenly pushed his arm forward.
The chaotic core erupted completely the instant it pushed forward, transforming into a destructive pillar of light with a diameter of a thousand meters, piercing through heaven and earth. The pillar of light was not a single color, but was composed of billions of undefined spectra superimposed, with black dimensional cracks wrapped around its edges. Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, and what was revealed behind the cracks was not a starry sky, but a pure abyss of nothingness.
In a slow-motion instant, the area through which the beam of light passed had already "collapsed," as if flying monsters and suspended boulders had not even touched the beam of light before being torn into particles by gravity. Before they could even scream, they turned into silent annihilation flashes and merged into the beam of light.
When the "Primordial Dimension Collapse Light" actually hit the target area, there was no explosion.
Instead, a chilling collapse occurred. The space in front of the Master Soul Dominion suddenly caved inward, forming a black hole-like dimensional rift with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles. The edges of the rift shimmered with a mixture of seven colors and darkness, and a terrifying gravitational force dragged everything toward the center. The mist was flattened, the rules were broken, and existence within that area was deconstructed layer by layer—as if it were being directly crushed back to the primordial state of chaos.
However, at that very moment, the Master Soul Dominion also unleashed its true response.
Its chest cavity suddenly burst open, and chaotic energy surged forth wildly, forming a terrifying phantom a thousand feet tall behind it. It was the embodiment of the Chaos Taotie —a head like a lion, a body like a python, and a belly like a dome, its surface covered in flowing chaotic scales, from which seven-colored particles emanated a low hum in the air. When the Taotie's gigantic maw opened, its interior was not flesh and blood, but a bottomless, pitch-black abyss of nothingness, within which countless tiny yet Ultimate sharp chaotic teeth spun, forming a core that devoured everything. ( From Chaos Taotie: The Calamity of All Spirits Returning to the Belly*)
The Taotie let out a roar that surpassed the Limit hearing. The sound waves did not spread but directly caused the heavens and earth to resonate. The front end of the collapsing pillar of light was met head-on by a more primal and greedy gravitational force. From the perspective of the Master Soul Dominion, the entire world was tilting towards that giant maw, space was stretched into a funnel, and the edge of the dimensional rift was forcibly pulled into the Taotie's belly.
The two forces clashed head-on in mid-air.
The collapsing pillar of light attempted to crush dimensions, while the gluttonous maw frantically devoured the collapse itself. Light and darkness tore into twisted spirals in mid-air, and dimensional rifts were forcibly dragged along, emitting silent shrieks. Countless beings caught in the chaos were swallowed whole, crushed by billions of sharp teeth within its belly, their origins extracted. The unassimilated residue transformed into black poisonous miasma, spewing from the gluttonous maw's tail, corroding the earth and space below.
Finally, the collapsing pillar of light was completely engulfed, and the abdomen of the Taotie colossal shadow swelled, with a deep rumble like the collision of stars emanating from within. Golden energy surged from the top of the Taotie's head, flowing into its Master Soul Dominion its body, causing its aura to rise once again. Xi Huanluo amidst the afterimage of light, his robes fluttering, and the chaotic aura around him remained undiminished.
Light and darkness dissipated simultaneously. Two beings at the Chaos Realm · Extremity stood facing each other across the void.
Neither side retreated, nor was either side injured to the point of imbalance.
The Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, leaving only a world torn apart and forcibly mended, and a suffocating silence that foreshadowed the true final battle yet to come.
With two beings at the Chaos Realm · Extremity facing off, the sky no longer resembled "the sky," but rather a thin film being repeatedly kneaded and about to tear.
The Master Soul Dominion slowly raised its arm covered with chaotic scales, the devouring core deep within its chest humming incessantly, as if excited for its next meal. Its gaze pierced through the chaotic mist, locking firmly onto Xi Huanluo, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying an innate predatory instinct—as if she herself were an unopened treasure trove of laws.
The next instant, chaos suddenly collapsed.
Unordered forces were forcibly drawn and woven together, and a "bag" that should not have existed in the structure of heaven and earth appeared from nothingness. The bag was initially only the size of a palm, floating in front of the Master Soul Dominion, and was pitch black, neither gold nor jade, with its surface densely engraved with ancient and twisted chaotic runes. The moment the runes lit up, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly pulled, and Spiritual Qi, rules, and even space itself began to converge uncontrollably towards the bag.
The Law Devouring Pouch - Foundation Extraction Technique
The pouch trembled violently, expanding in an instant to a diameter of a hundred meters. Its mouth opened, revealing an unfathomable bottom, only a churning abyss of chaos. Countless translucent threads of law burst forth from the pouch, writhing in the air like living things. Each thread was entwined with black and white chaotic energy, leaving faint traces of corrosion on the surface of space wherever it passed, as if even the "integrity of existence" was being gnawed away.
From a macroscopic perspective, the world around the pouch began to descend into chaos. Spiritual Qi was forcibly drawn away, transforming into a swirling torrent of energy that formed a massive vortex around the pouch. At the center of the vortex was the pitch-black opening of the pouch, emanating a suction force that made even the foundation of one's cultivation tremble.
The threads of law suddenly shot out, piercing through Xi Huanluo's chaotic defenses with unparalleled precision, heading straight for the core of her Dao foundation.
In an instant, a dazzling burst of primordial spiritual light erupted from Xi Huanluo's body. Her Dao Foundation, at the Chaos Realm · Extremity, frantically circulated, attempting to sever these invading threads. However, those law tendrils seemed to be already familiar with the structure of the Chaos Origin, completing their "adaptation" the moment they made contact with the defense, and forcibly penetrating it. The camera suddenly zoomed in—her Dao Foundation core, which operated as stably as a star within her body, was tightly bound by dozens of law threads. The law patterns on its surface began to fade and peel away inch by inch, transforming into streams of colorful light, which were forcibly drawn into the Devouring Sac.
It's not just about the foundation.
The divine power within Xi Huanluo's body was also drawn in. The primordial energy that had not yet completely dissipated was pulled into a ball of light, trailing a long tail, and flew towards the pouch. Her robes fluttered, and the chaotic aura around her briefly became disordered. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of her body, and black chaotic energy overflowed from the cracks. These were signs of backlash caused by the forced extraction of her Dao foundation.
However, just as the Law Devouring Pouch was about to complete the "marrow extraction," Xi Huanluo's eyes suddenly turned cold.
She didn't back down, nor did she even try to break free.
Instead, she looked up, her gaze passing over the Master Soul Dominion, and staring directly at the higher reaches of the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh —that causal dimension, already in disarray and eroded by the Causal Soul Logic Realm Abyss.
The power of chaos converged within her in another form.
The next instant, her eyes burst forth with a blazing golden chaotic light.
Cause and Effect Weave the Heavens: Reversing Fate
Her vision suddenly shifted, rising higher and higher above the misty swamp until she could overlook the entire Void Obliteration Domain. The causal threads that were previously invisible to the naked eye were forcibly awakened at this moment—golden, black, and dark red causal trajectories, like a galaxy with its curtain torn open, emerged from the ends of the earth, densely packed and crisscrossing. They converged from all directions, descending towards Xi Huanluo's location, as if she held the very fabric of the world's destiny in her hands.
From a ground-level perspective, all living beings can clearly see that the sky is "weaving a net."
Countless luminous threads of cause and effect intertwined to form a chaotic net covering tens of thousands of miles. The net was forged from chaotic energy of alternating black and white, with ethereal spots of light flickering at the mesh, like opening voids. The net slowly pressed down, carrying an absolute, illogical, and indiscriminate force of rebellion against fate, forcibly enveloping the Master Soul Dominion.
As the momentum surged, Xi Huanluo hand seals, and with each seal, the heavens and earth trembled. The stable causal relationship of the Master Soul Dominion the body was forcibly severed and reorganized by the Heavenly Net—the causal relationship representing "accumulation" was reversed and entangled, the trajectory representing "feeding" was tied into a dead knot, and all logic pointing to "enhancement" was rewritten as "self-destruction."
The Master Soul Dominion.
The world it saw began to shatter. Scenes of its past devouring all living beings flashed before its eyes, but were forcibly severed at crucial moments by the black chaotic cause and effect; the logic of existence that should have continued to expand began to exhibit strange loops and backlashes. From an external perspective, countless black cracks appeared on the surface of its enormous chaotic body, from which spewed out seven-colored chaotic particles, with devouring and disintegration occurring simultaneously.
However, the Master Soul Dominion did not retreat.
It emitted a deep resonance, and the Law Devouring Pouch suddenly contracted, forcibly injecting the devoured chaotic laws into its own body to resist the strangulation of the Reverse Fate Net. Devouring and alteration collided head-on in mid-air, the threads of cause and effect and the chaotic laws tore and assimilated each other, the net trembled violently, but failed to close completely.
Above the Mist-Shrouded Heart-Devouring Marsh, the causal light net and the chaotic devouring sac intertwined and overlapped, as if the heavens and earth were being repeatedly pulled apart by two invisible giant hands, with fragments of rules falling like a torrential rain. Xi Huanluo and the Master Soul Dominion stared at each other across the surging chaotic energy, neither of them able to gain an absolute advantage in this round of clashes.
