Chapter 432 Ch 432: Master of Chaos
BOOM!
The entire starry sky quaked violently, emitting a deep, muffled roar. Suddenly, a dazzling light enveloped the starry sky and the land below. For a fleeting moment, all was obscured by a kaleidoscope of colors.?Nothing could be seen. Everything was shrouded in multicolored lights.
"Th-this... What is happening?"
"After so many years, yet another phenomenon has occurred. Could it be that a great treasure is really about to be born?"
"That dark starry sky has loomed over us for more than twenty years. When it first appeared, we all speculated the same thing—that a great treasure had been born, causing this phenomenon. Yet, in the end, nothing came of it. Absolutely nothing. It was a null result. No treasure emerged, and we remain suppressed to this day. I don\'t believe this newly appeared phenomenon signifies the birth of a great treasure either. So, don\'t waste your time."
"No, it\'s different this time. Think about it. What if the appearance of the starry sky was merely the beginning? What if it had been accumulating an immense amount of energy all this while, and now, after more than two decades, it has reached its limit and erupted with a torrent of energy? This could be a hint that a great treasure is on the brink of revealing itself. Furthermore, this treasure must be connected to the Rules of Chaos. Didn\'t you see earlier how all 108 Rules of Chaos simultaneously shot pillars of light from every direction and collided?"
"Perhaps you\'re right. Judging by the situation, whatever this treasure may be, it won\'t be simple. It\'s likely to be at least a top-grade Heavenly Mystery-ranked treasure."
Everyone started talking, speculating many things.
Slowly, the resplendent light blinding them disappeared.
Everyone immediately raised their heads to look, only to witness a scene that sent shivers down their spines—not out of fear, but out of sheer excitement.
In the starry sky above, a colossal lotus began to unfurl slowly. This lotus boasted a total of 108 petals, each adorned with a unique color and emanating hints of different Rules. At first glance, it seemed out of reach, but in the next moment, it seemed to have become so big that people could touch the lotus with just a few meters of flight above the ground.
"This is... Oh my goodness. This lotus is the Lotus of Chaos. I\'ve seen its picture recorded in the ancient scriptures of my family. Although this Lotus seems to be slightly different, there\'s no doubt it\'s the Lotus of Chaos."
"The Lotus of Chaos? Isn\'t that a Treasure of Heavenly Mystery? It\'s said to surpass all Heavenly Mystery-ranked treasures."
"You\'re correct. Throughout the history of chaos, there have been several instances when a Lotus of Chaos appeared. And now, it emerges once again."
"I never imagined that the treasure about to be born would be a Lotus of Chaos. No one should compete, it is mine."
"On what basis? Who do you think you are? This treasure belongs to me."
"Everyone, let\'s calm down. Since we all recognize the value of this Lotus, it\'s inevitable that we\'ll all compete for it. There\'s no need to start fighting right away. Let\'s wait and see what unfolds next."
All kinds of voices could be seen at every corner of the Mystic Realm.
Now that more than twenty years have passed, several people have come together and formed a group. They were exploring the Mystic Realm in a group.
At first, every member of all the groups was very united. But now, with the appearance of a great treasure like the Lotus of Chaos, these groups seem to be falling apart. Everyone was ready to take action.
One of them could no longer remain calm and immediately flew into the sky. He was a Level 6 Master of Chaos. His speed was extremely fast.
His action shocked all the people. At this time, the huge Mystic Realm seemed to have become very small. For some reason, every creature present in the Mystic Realm could see this small figure rushing toward the blooming Lotus of Chaos, stirring the crowd.
As the first person took action, others followed suit, one after another, soaring into the sky. In a matter of seconds, thousands of people ascended.
The initial person had already reached a height of a thousand meters when suddenly, he appeared to collide with something invisible and exploded.
Indeed, his body burst apart, and the sky was splattered with blood. A crimson rain descended, drenching those below in red.
Everyone was stunned and immediately stopped flying. No one could speak a single word for the next few minutes. They were all shocked and terrified.
Who was that person?
He was a Level 6 Master of Chaos.
But even so, he was killed in an instant. No, he was not killed, but he simply exploded.
There must be something wrong in the sky.
No one dared to ascend any further. Instead, they cautiously began to descend to the ground, fearing they might meet the same fate as the unfortunate individual who had exploded in mid-air.
Indeed, everyone attributed the person\'s demise to the emergence of the blooming Lotus of Chaos.
Luckily, when the first person ascended, the shock and confusion caused a brief delay for those following behind, keeping them dozens of meters away. Otherwise, their fate might have mirrored his.
"What happened just now? That was a f*cking Master of Chaos at Level 6, but he died so easily."
"No, he didn\'t die, he exploded. Not even a trace of his body or soul remained. Everything disappeared with that explosion. Only blood was thrown to the ground. Maybe, no one noticed, but I did. When that person exploded, his soul was directly sucked into the Lotus of Chaos."
"Why that happened?"
"I have a theory. I believe it\'s because the Lotus of Chaos is still in the process of blooming. Look at it; it\'s steadily expanding, with more lights and energies emanating from it. Waiting for its full bloom seems like the safest option. Otherwise, we risk meeting the same fate as that unfortunate Master of Chaos."
"That sounds reasonable. Let\'s hold back for now."
All the people who heard him nodded their heads. Everyone retreated and started to wait for the full bloom of the Lotus of Chaos.
Back in the cave, Ling Xiaolong was unaware of the phenomenon he had caused. Right now, he has already ascended to the rank of a Master of Chaos.
Finally, he had achieved the status of Master of Chaos, a milestone worth celebrating. Remarkably, it had taken him just around twenty years to reach this level. Yet, there was no time for celebration as he remained in the state of cultivation.
As Ling Xiaolong ascended to the rank of Master of Chaos, he sensed a subtle disturbance in the chaos, as if the Lotus of Chaos had consumed something. However, the event unfolded too swiftly for him to discern the details or inquire further.
As his cultivation broke through the limit, yet another change began unfolding within his body. But this was not what kept him busy. An unlimited amount seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, helping him with his cultivation all of a sudden.
His cultivation period was not over, it seemed to be the start.
"This much energy... They seemed to be from that time."
Back in the incomplete Chaos, when Ling Xiaolong fused with Qin Feng, his cultivation started increasing rapidly, bringing him to the First Stage of the Celestial Awakening Realm.
At that time, a large amount of energy was sealed within his body automatically and he could no longer continue breaking through because the First Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm was the limit of the incomplete chaos. He was restricted by this limit.
At that time, Ling Xiaolong had a feeling that as long as he stepped into the ground of true chaos, he could continue breaking through, ascending in ranks one after another in a very short period of time.
However, reality failed to align with his expectations. When he stepped into the void of chaos, the seal on the energy was not broken.
Ling Xiaolong wondered at first but never thought too deeply about this matter.
Now that he thinks about it, this matter seems to be related to the Rules of Chaos. This was the only pivotal factor that was different about the current him from his former self.
How?
His previous comprehension of Rules of Chaos was incomplete and they belonged to the incomplete Chaos. But now, his Rules of Chaos has completely transformed into the Rules of True Chaos, resonating with this chaos.
This might have established harmony and broken the seal, causing an ocean of energy to flood his body once again.
However, this much energy was like a cup of water in a bucket.
