Lord Xue Ying

60 million years later after Xue Ying refined his Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body.

On this day itself.

Xue Ying was seated in the garden of his cavern-dwelling. Ever since he had comprehended the third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique, he was just one slight bit away from reaching the final realm in his Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm.

‘Even though I have gotten the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet from North River, in reality, the assistance that Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet has to me is negligible.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘My current Dao of Mirage is very close to reaching the final realm now. What I need is a spark of inspiration and enlightenment.’

“Mn?”

Xue Ying suddenly had a feeling. He looked over in a particular direction.

“Hong long long~”

The cloud layer in the sky descended rapidly. Everything became dark. It was originally a bright sunny day when the entire world became pitch black. And this happened within a single breath.

Dark clouds covered the entire Sacred World and a terrifying energy was accumulating right ahead of him. This power was so strong it even changed the expression of Xue Ying: ‘What is happening?’

‘This power?’

‘What exactly happened?’

This disturbance was too great.

Other than a few in Scarlet Cloud City who were shut close from anything happening in the external world, the majority immediately came out and looked up at the sky. Looking at how powerful the energy was gathering amidst the dark clouds, all of them immediately felt terror. They could sense that this accumulated energy would most likely turn them into powder in an instance. This was a terrifying energy that they could not resist at all.

“Fellow cultivators, do you know what has exactly happened?”

“The sky over our Sky Noon City is filled with rolling dark clouds. The energy accumulated is simply too terrifying. Those dark clouds… seem to have covered the entire sky and we can’t see the end.”

“It is the same for our Scarlet Cloud City! The entire sky is filled with dark clouds.”

“Similar here at Ice Star City…”

Some of the apex cultivators in the five assembly grounds conversed with one another. They were able to determine soon that those dark clouds that were filled with a frightening energy should have covered the entire Sacred World.

…

Xue Ying flew up to the sky and looked at it.

There were more than a thousand figures who flew up into the sky within Scarlet Cloud City too. They were all looking at the dark clouds that gathered high in the sky, and were puzzled and filled with reverence too.

“Hua hua hua~” Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared deep in the dark clouds high in the sky. The golden light was moving. It was so resplendent as it shot down and illuminated the world. This golden light gradually turned into an enormous maelstrom. At the outer perimeter of this maelstrom was the moving dark clouds. It was so big that it affected the whole world.

“There seems to be a golden light maelstrom forming in the sky above our Scarlet Cloud City! Those dark clouds are revolving around it.”

“Our Sky Noon City does not have such a phenomenon.”

“Neither does our Rising Light City.”

As they conversed.

They soon discovered startingly that this golden light maelstrom had appeared only above Scarlet Cloud City,

“Hua!”

Closely following that.

Waves and waves of energy began shooting down from the golden light maelstrom right into one of the cavern-dwelling within Scarlet Cloud City. This energy did not seem to damage any structure at all. Instead, it went deep into the cavern-dwelling.

‘That seems to be Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s cavern-dwelling?’ Xue Ying turned over and could discern it with a single glance. He then revealed a look of astonishment, ‘Such a huge disturbance with such frightening might… And it appears the energy is entering his cavern-dwelling. Unless… he has succeeded?’

“Sou.” Xue Ying immediately took a step and traveled through the void. He soon arrived at the entrance outside Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s cavern-dwelling.

Many cultivators were also rushing over to Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s cavern-dwelling. Scarlet Cloud City was only spanning across several hundred thousand kilometers in total. Given the speed of cultivators, they were able to reach in a short period, and had gathered outside the cavern-dwelling now.

“City Master Nine-Headed has previously gone into closed-door cultivation to fight for the chance of breaking through to the Chaotic Origin Level. Has he succeeded?” Standing by the side of Xue Ying, Monarch Ardent Creek could not help but ask. Monarch Ardent Creek’s eyes were filled with surprise and envy.

“City Master Nine-Headed originally doesn’t have any Chaotic Origin Bloodline. He has cultivated to where he is step by step as a weak little mortal.” Xue Ying looked ahead at the cavern-dwelling, and at the terrifying energy descending into the cavern-dwelling. He continued, “He is able to pick and fuse other Chaotic Origin Bloodlines into his body. Even though those are external bloodlines, it remains a fact that every bloodline could enable him to exert the strength of a Grand Perfection God Emperor. Furthermore, he could even fuse all nine types of bloodlines together perfectly. Hence, his accumulations and experience on digging the potential of bloodline… is unquestionable the best across the entire Sacred World.”

Witchcraft was also a Dao path. And Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor was the strongest expert to take this path.

“Given his current accumulations, since he has determined that the heart and blood of Quiet Icy Mountain Master is what he required to breakthrough. Furthermore, he has also disregarded the price and organized several teams of cultivators to deal with that Quiet Icy Mountain Master before. This desire to do it likely shows how certain he is.” Xue Ying continued, “And now that such a huge disturbance has been created, it should be likely the case that he has broken through to the Chaotic Origin Level.”

“Right.”

The silver-white giant ‘Wu Xiao’ walked over and nodded, “This disturbance is indeed formed by a cultivator undergoing Ultimate Awakening into the Chaotic Origin Level. He is currently undergoing a complete life metamorphosis, transforming into that of a higher level being—a Chaotic Origin Lifeform.”

“Life metamorphosis?” Xue Ying looked towards Wu Xiao. He understood that Vice-City Master Wu Xiao was the strongest and most powerful descendant of a powerful Chaotic Origin Expert. Hence, he should know more about the secrets pertaining to Chaotic Origin.

“It’s just that I am very curious about something.” Wu Xiao looked at the cavern-dwelling ahead, chuckling out, “The Ultimate Awakening which I understood in the past is usually activated by the Chaotic Origin Bloodline the cultivator already had innately before returning back to his roots as an ancestor, turning into an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform. As for Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s ‘Witchcraft’ cultivation system, it primarily focuses on gathering external bloodlines before fusing them into his body. Strictly speaking, including the nine bloodlines he had previously in his body, he would have ten different bloodlines after adding Quiet Icy Mountain Master! He had dug out the potential of the first nine bloodlines to the Grand Perfection God Emperor stage. As for the final bloodline, it belongs to a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform… all of those ten bloodlines in his body are very strong. I wonder how he would be after he undergoes an Ultimate Awakening?”

Xue Ying was startled. He laughed: “I doubt there has never been an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform with ten types of bloodlines.”

“That’s right. This is a special mixed bloodline that he created personally.” Wu Xiao continued watching.

“No matter what, it seems he has succeeded.” Weather Leaf walked over too. Looking at the cavern-dwelling, he said, “As long as he succeeded in becoming a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform, giving the talent of Brother Nine-Headed, it should be possible for him to become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform one day.”

Wu Xiao nodded in agreement: “Collecting ten types of bloodlines and still succeeding in awakening them? This is absolutely unprecedented. It is indeed highly probable for him to reach the next grade as a ‘World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform’ one day.”

As the cultivators in the cavern-dwelling discussed over the matter, Weather Leaf, Xue Ying, Wu Xiao, North River, Xie Fan, Great Emperor Heaven Calamity… even though some of them were aloof, some were evil, and some were extremists, at this moment, they felt complex as they watched a fellow cultivator become a Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

Because this had been what they desired and had been pursuing all along.

Suddenly——

A faint illusory figure shot up into the sky from deep within Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s cavern-dwelling. It shot up beyond the cloud layer. The golden light maelstrom and the dark cloud layer which were originally spinning rapidly began dissipating.

This dimmed illusory figure flew up into the sky before revealing his true body.

It was a huge serpent. This serpent was quite special because it had a total of nine heads, and four claws on its meandering body. Its body was slightly translucent and entirely black in color.

It was simply too big.

It was so big that it had covered the entire sky. Its size was bigger by more than 10,000 to 100,000 times that of Scarlet Cloud City. Xue Ying and the other cultivators could barely see nine snakeheads. Furthermore, as they were located very far away, they could not even see all nine heads clearly! That snake tail even extended beyond the horizons. Nobody in the Scarlet Cloud City could see it clearly with their naked eyes.

At this moment, it began concealing some of its might. Even though a faint aura was still pervading in the atmosphere, it was enough to make the cultivators in Scarlet Cloud City acknowledge allegiance to him.

“You——”

The nine snakeheads let out a ringing screech. Its screech was high in pitch and filled with immense joy.

‘So this is a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform? A High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform that isn’t suppressed?’ Xue Ying was inwardly startled. Those Chaotic Origin Prisoners were restricted severely. That was how they could fight them on equal grounds. If those were High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeforms such as the one standing before them that could exhibit their complete strength, they would have wiped the cultivators out in one breath.

‘Chaotic Origin.’ Weather Leaf looked up. His eyes were shining in glimmering light.

‘Chaotic Origin? It seems he is stronger than most High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform.’ Wu Xiao felt astonished. He had seen quite a few High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeforms before. But it was still the first time for him to see a new lifeform give off such intense aura. Indeed, after Nine-Headed broke through using ten different bloodlines, it was extraordinary. And it seems to be unprecedented, at least in my experience.’

A huge serpent with nine heads and four serpents?

That was a lifeform he had never seen before!

There was not an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform tribe with this appearance. It seemed Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor had created an entirely new tribe.

“Sou.”

The nine-headed four-clawed serpent abruptly turned into a faint light and descended onto the Scarlet Cloud City. It directly fell onto his cavern-dwelling, turning back into a handsome bald young man. He was none other than Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor.

Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor chuckled and swept his gaze across the surrounding cultivators: “I have fortuitously broke through after my closed-door cultivation, finally jumping out of the cage becoming a Chaotic Origin! I am filled with endless joy and gratitude for all my fellow cultivators.”
