Even the savage light flashing in the single, pale eye on its nine heads froze!
Xingchen flashed and appeared in front of one of the frozen beast's heads, examining it with great interest.
Xingchen examined the nine-headed beast frozen in time before him, as if scrutinizing a fine work of art.
The savagery frozen on those nine ferocious heads, the destructive power frozen on those eighteen tentacles, the corrosive energy constantly seeping from its body... everything remained in the state of the attack, yet it was unable to move an inch.
"What a waste of such fine materials, yet its intelligence is so low, knowing only how to kill and devour."
Xingchen shook her head slightly, her tone carrying a hint of regret, but more so a calm attitude towards resources.
Without further hesitation, he extended his index finger and gently touched the space between the eyebrows of one of the strange beast's heads.
At the fingertip, a point of chaotic light flashed slightly, and an invisible yet domineering force of will, containing the most primal meaning of "annihilation," instantly pierced through all obstacles and directly acted on the chaotic and weak soul core of this strange beast!
There was no resistance, not even a process.
Before that supreme level of law and will, the soul of this primordial beast, which acted solely on instinct, was instantly extinguished and annihilated like a candle flickering in the wind, turning into the most primitive particles and dissipating into nothingness.
The last glimmer of ferocity in its nine pale, single eyes faded completely, leaving only an empty, deathly silence.
Its massive body remained in a pouncing posture, but all life and consciousness had completely vanished without a trace.
"Tsk tsk, such a complete body of a Chaos Origin Beast at the second level of the God King realm is extremely rare."
Xingchen looked at the "specimen" before him, which had lost its soul but whose energy and physical structure were well preserved, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"These scales and bones are excellent research materials and crafting materials. Analyzing their life structure may help us understand the evolution of Hunyuan life."
His mind raced, and in an instant, he had several uses for the corpse.
"Extracting its blood essence is invaluable, whether for cultivating power or for enhancing certain special treasures."
"Or... it wouldn't be bad to throw it back to Mu Qing to devour and absorb. World Beasts are the epitome of destruction, so devouring such powerful primordial life forms should be of great benefit to them."
Regardless of its intended use, this complete corpse of a God-King level Chaos Origin Beast is a tremendous treasure!
Its value far exceeds that of materials of the same grade but originating from within the source world.
"Received."
With a casual wave of his star-studded sleeve, an invisible spatial fluctuation enveloped the enormous beast corpse.
The next moment, the nine-headed beast, as huge as a mountain range, rapidly shrank and transformed into a stream of light. It was easily absorbed into Xingchen's inner world and placed in a different area from the previously collected Chaos Origin Crystal. A seal was set up to prevent its residual energy from corroding other items.
After all this was done, the surrounding space seemed to come "alive" again. The frozen torrents of corrosive energy lost their support and slowly dissipated into the primordial energy flow.
Xingchen clapped its hands, as if it had just casually cleared away a troublesome mosquito, and continued to transform into a gray stream of light, leisurely flying in the predetermined direction.
His exploration of the Hunyuan Space began with great success. And this was clearly just the beginning.
The star continued its exploration in the vast and boundless primordial space. Time seemed to lose its meaning here; only the accumulation of power and the understanding of the Dao were the eternal measures.
In the long years that followed, he was like a tireless traveler and a precise hunter, traversing bizarre energy vortexes, ancient and silent ruined continents, and strange and perilous secret realms.
His gains also increased.
In a floating ocean formed from pure lightning, he collected dozens of chaotic lightning cores containing both destructive and life-giving properties.
Beside a silent river composed entirely of broken law runes, he sat in meditation for a long time, gaining a more thorough understanding of many fundamental laws, and the power of the River of Laws of the Heavens was thus enhanced.
He even discovered a small, undeveloped prototype of the primordial world and observed its evolution, which gave him a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the creation of life and the birth of the universe.
The various strange beasts that would occasionally collide with him became his regular "resource supply".
From the first to the third level of the God-King realm, their powerful physical bodies, unique bloodlines, and fragments of the Primordial Chaos Laws they contained became objects of Xingchen's research and collection. Within his inner world, various precious Primordial Chaos materials had already piled up like mountains.
However, the dangers of the Hunyuan Space go far beyond this. It is not a smooth road, and crises often strike unexpectedly.
He once stumbled into a seemingly peaceful area that was actually riddled with invisible "spatial traps." Countless tiny spatial rifts, like the sharpest blades, instantly surrounded him.
If it weren't for the Myriad Transformations Returning to Nothingness Armor's adaptive defense reaching its peak, coupled with the Chaos Suppressing Origin Tower forcibly stabilizing spacetime, he would likely have been instantly torn to countless fragments. He had also disturbed a swarm of eerie flying insects inhabiting the interior of a certain dead star. Each insect was of average strength, but their numbers numbered in the billions. They could devour divine power and gnaw at souls, forming a terrifying insect swarm storm. Xingchen ultimately activated the Annihilation Rebirth Blade, unleashing a wide-ranging Dao of Termination with a single strike, completely annihilating the insect swarm, but the process was quite perilous. The greatest danger, however, occurred when he attempted to approach an extremely dazzling chaotic nebula with an unusually intense energy reaction.
Just as he was about to step into the outer edge of the nebula, a terrifying will that made his soul tremble suddenly awakened from the depths of the nebula!
That will was ancient, tyrannical, and filled with an insatiable hunger!
Immediately afterwards, an indescribably huge claw, composed entirely of twisted shadows and negative energy, tore through the nebula and came slashing down at him!
Its terrifying aura far surpassed that of the previous nine-headed beast, reaching the level of a God Emperor!
Xingchen didn't even have time to see the full picture of that being before a strong sense of impending death gripped him instantly!
No hesitation!
He made the most correct reaction in a fraction of a second!
The phantom of the treasure surged, blocking the sharp claw; the Myriad Transformations Returning to Nothingness Armor shone brightly; at the same time, the starlight on the waist flashed wildly, forcibly stirring the surrounding laws and unleashing the fastest escape technique!
"Bang!!!"
The phantom trembled violently, letting out a mournful cry, and was actually struck by the shadowy claws, its light dimmed, and it flew back!
The aftershocks alone caused the stars' blood and qi to surge, and their divine bodies seemed about to fall apart!
But with the help of this blocking force, plus Xinghe's ultimate escape technique, he transformed into a nearly transparent stream of light and fled at a speed beyond comprehension!
The being in the nebula let out a disgruntled roar, seemingly wanting to pursue, but ultimately fell silent for some unknown reason, and its terrifying claw slowly retracted into the depths of the nebula.
The star traveled countless billions of miles until it could no longer feel the terrifying pressure, then dared to stop and look back at the terrifying chaotic nebula with lingering fear.
"A Chaos Origin Beast at the God Emperor level... truly terrifying!"
His face was pale, his divine power was disordered, and his treasures were slightly dim, requiring a period of nurturing to recover.
"If it weren't for the protection of my treasure and my quick reaction, I probably would have really been doomed this time..."
Having gone through this ordeal, Xingchen gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the Chaotic Origin Space.
Even he cannot act recklessly here; he must maintain sufficient respect and caution.
However, danger and opportunity coexist. In this process of continuous exploration, encounters, battles, and reflection, Xingchen's cultivation did not achieve a direct breakthrough in realm, but his control over his own power and his application of the laws of chaos became more refined and proficient.
He often sat cross-legged in the primordial energy flow, letting the original and powerful energy wash over his body, and comprehending the various laws and meanings contained within it.
His Great Dao, after absorbing the nourishment of various characteristics of the Hunyuan Space, seemed to become more inclusive and profound.
"Destruction, creation, life, death, time and space, cause and effect... everything originates from chaos and returns to chaos."
The understanding in Xingchen's heart deepened.
"What I seek is neither ultimate destruction nor pure life, but the primordial chaos that gives rise to all things and encompasses all existence. In this primordial space, my Dao seems to have found its true source and destination..."
He even began to try to integrate some insights into his four great treasures, so that the suppressing power of the Chaos Suppressing Tower would carry a trace of the weight of the primordial chaos, the ending meaning of the Annihilation Rebirth Blade would be closer to the "annihilation" aspect of the primordial chaos itself, and the adaptability of the Myriad Transformations Returning to the Void Armor would be stronger.
His strength steadily improved through continuous exploration, battles, and enlightenment, quietly advancing towards an even more unfathomable realm. For him, the Hunyuan Space was a perilous place, a treasure trove, and an inexhaustible sacred ground for cultivation.
In the primordial chaos, a perfect sacred ground for cultivation, Xingchen tirelessly explored, fought, and comprehended. The passage of time held no meaning for him; his entire being was immersed in the pursuit of the Great Dao of Chaos and the refinement of his own power.
Although his cultivation level remained at the ultimate God King realm and he did not achieve a breakthrough, the solidity of his foundation and the depth of his accumulation had reached an unbelievable level!
The divine power within him was no longer what it had been when he first entered the ultimate realm. Every strand of divine power was as heavy as a mountain, containing endless variations, with vitality and annihilation perfectly intertwined, its operation flawless, as if forming a miniature chaotic universe of its own. Its total amount may not have increased dramatically, but the power boost brought about by its qualitative change far exceeded a simple quantitative change.
His divine body, refined and tempered day and night by the endless power of primordial chaos, and after constantly analyzing and absorbing the life essence of various primordial beasts, had become extremely powerful.
Beneath the skin, countless tiny chaotic divine patterns spontaneously arise and cease, forming an invisible absolute defense. Its toughness is even sufficient to withstand a full-force attack from an ordinary early-stage God Emperor without taking any damage.
Chapter 377 Expansion of the Primitive Universe!
The star floated amidst a slowly rotating mass of chaotic stardust, its aura perfectly balanced and restrained, as if it had merged with this boundless primordial space.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a fleeting vision of chaos being created and all worlds being born and destroyed flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As he felt the vast, almost overflowing divine power within his body, and the terrifying power contained within his divine body that was enough to shake this ancient space, a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.
"My accumulation has reached its peak; both my divine body and divine soul have reached perfection. My understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos Origin has also touched upon that invisible barrier..."
Xingchen murmured to herself, her tone carrying a calm and natural quality.
"Just one final step away from opening that door and stepping into a completely new realm—the realm of the God Emperor."
This seemingly insignificant step is like an insurmountable chasm.
He knew that this final breakthrough might no longer require simple accumulation, but rather an opportunity, a deeper resonance with the Great Dao of Chaos, or even a life-or-death struggle that could squeeze out all potential.
My thoughts drifted slightly away.
"I wonder how Luo Feng is doing now?"
The starlight seemed to pierce through endless time and space, landing on that equally tenacious and courageous figure.
"With his terrifying talent of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents and constantly breaking through in desperate situations."
Xingchen smiled slightly. He had never doubted this disciple's potential.
"He must be approaching the ultimate realm of God King by now, right? Perhaps... given his circumstances and temperament, he may have already reached the threshold of God Emperor before me."
Luo Feng's growth trajectory is itself an epic of miracles.
From his humble beginnings on Earth, he fought his way to the pinnacle of the cosmic sea, and then ventured into the even broader stage of the Origin Continent. His speed never slowed down.
"Perhaps, he will give me a huge surprise next time we meet."
Xingchen had a vague premonition that their paths in this vast primordial space would eventually intersect again.
That time, perhaps, was when they stood together at a higher vantage point, overlooking the ever-changing world.
Collecting his thoughts, the light in Xingchen's eyes grew even more resolute and profound.
The realm of the Supreme God Emperor is now clearly visible.
With a swift movement, he transformed once again into an elusive gray streak of light, resolutely shooting towards the deeper, more dangerous, and undoubtedly more promising unknown region of the Chaos Origin Space.
His breakthrough requires more honing, witnessing even more magnificent Hunyuan wonders, and facing even more powerful Hunyuan life.
Xingchen composed himself, knowing full well that in this vast and boundless primordial space, only his own strength was the eternal foundation. The realm of the God Emperor was the peak he must currently overcome.
He lingered, riding the stream of light, and with an even stronger will, ventured deeper into the desolate lands of the Chaos Origin Space, places that even ordinary god-kings feared.
He deliberately ventured into the eye of the raging "Tide of Laws" storm, allowing countless chaotic and conflicting primordial laws to tear at his divine body and temper his will, thereby gaining insight into the balance and evolution of the laws of chaos in extreme disorder.
His Myriad Transformations Returning to Nothingness Armor flickered in the tides, constantly adapting to and absorbing the characteristics of various laws impacting it, becoming increasingly profound.
He found a graveyard of "Hunyuan Ancient Beasts" that had been silent for countless eons, where a dense aura of death and the lingering resentment of terrifying beast souls permeated the air.
The stars sat cross-legged here, with the Blade of Annihilation and Rebirth suspended above them, absorbing the pure essence of Annihilation. At the same time, they used their own vitality and will to resist the erosion of resentment, tempering their souls on the edge of life and death, making their soul essence increasingly closer to that eternal and indestructible level.
