Chapter 492: Primordial Chaos

As the endless red clouds began to dissipate, a thin stream of blood trickled from the crack in the Eye of the Heavens. Then, the enormous eye exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The heavens and earth suddenly reverberated with a thunderous roar, a sound that echoed throughout the world. A profoundly oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone. Blood rain began to fall from the sky, as if the heavens themselves were weeping.

"It's broken, the sky is broken!" Gu Qianyou exclaimed excitedly.

"Broken? Not yet. There's still one crucial thing left," Di Xuansha shook his head.

"Not broken yet?" Gu Qianyou was slightly taken aback.

"Of course not. The fact that our world hasn't descended into the Great Thousand World is proof enough. There's still one final step," Di Xuansha explained.

"What step?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Primordial Chaos," Di Xuansha replied.

"Primordial Chaos?" Zhong Shan echoed, puzzled.

"That's right. Our Minor Thousand World is like a giant egg, with the heavens and earth inside it. Ancient Shentong has removed all obstacles within this world, leaving only the outer shell. This shell is the Primordial Chaos, the final barrier of the Minor Thousand World. Breaking through this barrier will allow us to enter the Great Thousand World," Di Xuansha explained.

"Splitting the heavens and earth, breaking through the Primordial Chaos?" Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.

"Exactly. Splitting the heavens and earth, breaking through the Primordial Chaos, will bring us into the Great Thousand World. Our entire world will enter the Great Thousand World," Di Xuansha nodded.

Zhong Shan fell into deep thought. Meanwhile, on Tianlang Island, at the Kaiyang Sect, endless starlight was being drawn from the Great Thousand World. Strangely, this starlight was now converging on Zhong Shan's Fang Tian Imperial Seal.

No, it was the Fang Tian Imperial Seal absorbing the vast stellar energy.

Everyone watched this phenomenon in astonishment as the endless stellar energy was drawn into the Fang Tian Imperial Seal, pouring into it.

"Zhong Shan, what is this?" the sect guard asked Zhong Shan's shadow body in surprise.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps it's due to Ancient Shentong," Zhong Shan shook his head.

To outsiders, Zhong Shan attributed the phenomenon to Ancient Shentong, but internally, he was overwhelmed with shock. The sudden change was not due to Ancient Shentong, but the red pearl atop the Fang Tian Imperial Seal—the same red pearl that had brought him to this world.

The other six sects of the Seven Stars Hall no longer had any starlight converging on them, but the Kaiyang Sect did. The red pearl was forcibly drawing stellar energy from the Great Thousand World.

The vast stellar energy didn't enter the red pearl but instead flowed into the body of the Fang Tian Imperial Seal. Zhong Shan felt a peculiar sensation, as if the red pearl was scolding the nine-dragon seal for being too lowly, unworthy of it. Thus, it was drawing stellar energy from the Great Thousand World to enhance the seal, strengthening the power of the nine dragons.

The nine-dragon seal, which served as the Heavenly Imperial Seal, was considered the best jade in the world. Yet, in the eyes of the red pearl, it was deemed too inferior?

Zhong Shan swallowed hard. What exactly was this red pearl? How could it be so powerful?

In the ancient holy capital, Zhong Shan's true form watched Ancient Shentong. The seven stars beneath Ancient Shentong's feet had dimmed, and the Grand Luo Zhoutian Stellar Formation had dissipated following the destruction of the Eye of the Heavens.

"Why dismantle the Grand Luo Zhoutian Stellar Formation?" Gu Qianyou frowned.

"The formation's mission is complete. Besides, the upcoming task of confronting the Primordial Chaos won't require this formation. Its presence might even interfere with Ancient Shentong's actions," Di Xuansha explained.

Once again, Ancient Shentong descended, standing firmly on the ground, gazing up at the sky. With the Eye of the Heavens shattered and all restraints removed, the next challenge was the Primordial Chaos.

Ancient Shentong's eyes fixed on the sky, his aura erupted fiercely, surging upwards.

The powerful and immense aura forced all onlookers to retreat, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure.

His aura reached the heavens!

The clouds and mist above dissipated, and the space around Ancient Shentong began to wrinkle under his sheer force.

Was this merely aura? The aura alone could wrinkle space?

Everyone around was stunned.

Finally, it emerged.

Above Ancient Shentong, clusters of grayish energy appeared, neither entirely real nor illusory, exuding a strange presence. The energy seemed to transcend space, appearing directly above Ancient Shentong's head.

"Primordial Chaos energy, that's it!" Di Xuansha exclaimed excitedly.

Chaos? Zhong Shan watched with a grave expression.

The Primordial Chaos energy seemed to grow, spreading across the sky, filling it entirely with a gray hue.

First, there were red clouds, now it had turned gray. Mortals, sensing a great change in the world, knelt and worshipped.

Seeing the chaos, Ancient Shentong did not hesitate. Wielding his Heaven-Splitting Axe, he slashed towards the gray chaos.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a deafening roar, the massive axe slashed through the surrounding space, shattering it. Within the black void, Ancient Shentong's axe struck the chaotic energy.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The sheer power of the strike was immense, bordering on the perverse. Even as space shattered around him, the collision with the chaotic energy sent a torrent of force cascading downwards, sweeping in all directions.

In that moment, a violent windstorm erupted across the entire Shenzhou land. Even the outskirts of the ancient holy capital saw numerous observers blown away by the fierce winds.

These were powerful cultivators, yet they struggled to maintain their footing in the face of this terrifying storm.

Space quickly restored itself around Ancient Shentong, revealing his figure once more.

One strike, such a mighty strike, slashed into the chaotic energy, yet it only created a gash, a mere hundred meters deep. Through the deep chasm, it was evident that the chaotic energy was still vast and thick, far from being fully cut through.

Such a powerful strike, yet it didn't cleave it open?

Ancient Shentong withdrew his axe, preparing for another strike, but the moment he pulled it free, he noticed that the chaotic energy began to flow from both sides, seamlessly sealing the gash.

What? The overwhelming force of his previous strike seemed ineffective? Would he have to cut again?

The onlookers were in an uproar. What was this energy? Despite the formidable strike that could shake the world, it barely left a small gash that was quickly mended? The disparity was too great.

A hundred meters deep might seem profound under normal circumstances, but against the backdrop of Ancient Shentong's colossal axe, the gash was minuscule, barely marking the edge of the axe blade.

The earlier strike had unleashed winds that swept across all of Shenzhou, a blow that could be said to shake the world. But in the end, the result was so weak? No, it had no effect at all as everything reverted back?

Ancient Shentong did not continue with a second strike. He coldly observed the restored gap, took a deep breath, knowing that splitting the heavens and earth wasn't an easy task.

With a flick of his wrist, Ancient Shentong produced an item. A decree? No, it was more than a decree; it was the ancestral decree of the Grand Luo Heavenly Dynasty, akin to the 'Fengshen Bang' of the Great Zhen Dynasty.

Ancient Shentong unfurled the 'decree' with a wave of his hand, and it transformed into a gigantic golden stele, emitting billions of golden rays. Inscribed upon the stele were the names of all the deities of the Grand Luo Heavenly Dynasty.

At the top were the characters 'Divine Register.'

The Divine Register emitted billions of golden rays, and at the top, there was a groove where Ancient Shentong gently placed the Heavenly Imperial Seal. Instantly, the golden rays condensed into a soft white light, illuminating the chaotic energy before him.

After ensuring everything was in place, Ancient Shentong once again wielded his Heaven-Splitting Axe, striking fiercely at the chaotic energy.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

As before, the terrifying power of the strike shattered the surrounding space, with the intense momentum sweeping across all of Shenzhou.

This time, the chaotic energy did not flow, as it was solidified by the white light from the Divine Register.

Had it worked? Ancient Shentong felt a surge of joy and struck again.

Strike, strike, strike!

Ancient Shentong transformed into a relentless figure, tirelessly hacking away at the chaotic energy. The land of Shenzhou was swept by continuous violent winds, echoing with the sound of the axe cleaving through chaos.

For seventy-two hours straight, Ancient Shentong didn't stop. The gap in the chaotic energy grew larger and larger, while his face turned redder and redder, as if his blood was boiling.

"What's happening?" Zhong Shan asked Di Xuansha.

"The chaotic energy is too strong. The backforce from such powerful collisions is immense. While a few strikes don't matter, after seventy-two hours, the cumulative backlash might be causing internal injuries," Di Xuansha said, frowning.

"What should we do?" Gu Qianyou asked worriedly.

"It's almost done. Each strike now rips the gap five times deeper than before. He should be nearing the edge. Next will be the Primordial Purple Barrier," Di Xuansha said.

"After chaos, there's another layer of the Primordial Purple Barrier?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Yes, the final strike will release a large amount of Primordial Purple Qi. If you have the opportunity, try to collect it. It has immense benefits," Di Xuansha said.

"Primordial Purple Qi? Can the chaotic energy be collected?" Zhong Shan asked immediately.

Di Xuansha gave Zhong Shan a surprised look and shook his head. "The chaotic energy is a type of corrupt energy. Collecting it would not only be useless but also extremely harmful."
