Chapter 1492: Comprehending the Profundity of Primal Chaos
As Liu Qingchen’s strength dropped, his Indestructible Avatar could only barely maintain his strength at the level of a Great Saint. He could no longer display a combat strength that could match a pseudo-God.
He had also realized that there was something wrong with Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes. He didn’t even dare to meet Xiang Shaoyun’s gaze. Additionally, he was terrified that Xiang Shaoyun would look at him. Thus, he started running everywhere on the ring. A single gaze from Xiang Shaoyun would reduce his lifespan by dozens of years or even a hundred years. Not only would that accelerate his death, but it would also fill his body with death aura. If this situation continued, he would eventually die.
Due to his drop in speed, Xiang Shaoyun was able to gaze at him once more, injecting some death energy into Liu Qingchen’s body and reducing his lifespan by 50 years. That seemed to be the final blow for Liu Qingchen. He was still young and wasn’t ready to face death yet. A bright future awaited him. Alas, he no longer had any other trump cards. Even if he had some movement god-grade items, he still couldn’t escape Xiang Shaoyun. Left with no choice, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “I surrender!’
His surrender meant that he would become Xiang Shaoyun’s follower for 100 years. However, even that was better than death.
Xiang Shaoyun had been under full control of his battle instinct. Upon hearing Liu Qingchen’s surrender, he finally stopped moving. However, his eyes still flickered with the gray radiance. Some people from the crowd took the opportunity to look into his eyes. Immediately, a middle-aged man turned into an old man.
He exclaimed in fear, “W-why did I lose so much life force? What’s going on?”
“It’s the power of death. I also lost dozens of years from my lifespan. Don’t look at his eyes. He’s too scary,” a different voice rang out.
That greatly frightened the crowd of onlookers. An eye technique that could plunder one’s life with a mere gaze. How terrifying was that? Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t randomly sweeping his gaze through the crowd. Otherwise, many more would suffer.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingchen hopped off the ring. His entire body was drenched with cold sweat. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and started expelling the death energy from his body. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun had just comprehended the power of death. Thus, the death energy was still at a level Liu Qingchen could handle. If Xiang Shaoyun’s comprehension was any deeper, Xiang Shaoyun could probably reach a level where he could kill someone with one look.
Xiang Shaoyun sank into deep meditation. The concept of the negative relationship between elements was carved in his brain as his understanding deepened incessantly. The negative relationship between elements symbolized destruction.
“Father, why are you not announcing the result? The overlord is comprehending the dao. He can’t be disturbed at a time like this,” reminded Devil Concubine.
Only then did Mo Xuwu recover from his shock. He said, “But what about his fight with Zhong Ding?”
“The overlord is the only man I acknowledge. If you want me to marry someone else, I’ll die before your eyes,” declared Devil Concubine resolutely.
At this time, Mo Yue announced, “The challenge is over. Everyone, disperse.”
Mo Yue was both the previous sect master and a God Realm expert. Thus, his words carried a lot of weight. Few dared to go against his wishes, and few dared to question his decision.
As for Zhong Ding, he did not say anything. As he gently waved his folding fan, he said, “What an interesting opponent. Looks like my future path won’t be a lonely one.”
“Young master, are you not going to give it a try?” asked his dao guardian.
“This is not the time for it. In any case, it’s pointless to try to obtain a woman whose heart is not with me. Let’s go,” said Zhong Ding in a carefree manner.
Everyone left, leaving Xiang Shaoyun alone in the ring. Nobody dared to disturb him. He chanted the Desolation mantra repeatedly, deepening his understanding of the profundity of death. At the same time, he also started comprehending the positive relationship between elements.
The negative and positive relationship between the five elements essentially formed a cycle of energy. Five energies appeared around Xiang Shaoyun’s body and orbited him incessantly. When they interacted positively, the power of creation was established. When they interacted negatively, the power of destruction was established. The two powers operated on completely different profundities, and the merger of the two would give rise to the true profundity of primal chaos.
As Xiang Shaoyun’s comprehension deepened, the energy within his body changed repeatedly. Strand after strand of primal chaos energy flowed out of his primal inception energy and entered the plants in his astral cosmos sea, creating the cycle of life. Some plants started growing rapidly, while some plants withered quickly.
Life and death. Both were the ways of nature and symbolized the power of primal chaos.
“Primal chaos can give rise to all living things. Primal chaos can also give rise to ultimate destruction. Life and death, death and life, an endless cycle, unending and eternal…” As Xiang Shaoyun meditated on the great dao, he finally comprehended the profundity of primal chaos.
A boundless life force erupted from his body only to instantly be replaced with unending death energy, making him look like someone on his deathbed. The two powers replaced each other again and again while his body shone with a five-colored radiance. Ultimately, a tornado of primal chaos formed around his body, flooding the ring with primal chaos energy.
“I never expected this kid to successfully create primal chaos energy. This is truly astonishing,” exclaimed Mo Yue in admiration.
Primal chaos energy was an extremely valuable energy that could benefit any cultivator. Even a God Realm expert could grow with primal chaos energy. However, primal chaos energy was also extremely rare. Unless one could enter those unique primal chaos realms, one could hardly encounter any primal chaos energy.
And now, Xiang Shaoyun had gained the ability to produce such pure primal chaos energy. If he could increase his production volume, he would be able to create an extremely terrifying army of cultivators.
“Great-Grandpa, the overlord is naturally amazing. Even my dao of time was learned from him,” said Devil Concubine proudly. As her eyes rippled with tenderness, she said, “Isn’t my man amazing?”
“Indeed. This kid’s comprehension capability is simply heaven-defying,” said Mo Yue. He said to Mo Xuwu, “Do not interfere in Devil Concubine’s affairs with that kid. Also, we will do our best to help him if he needs any help in the future.”
“Grandpa, isn’t that a tad bit too excessive for support?” Mo Xuwu was still unhappy.
“Hehe, perhaps he won’t even need our help. Don’t forget that he has a lord guardian standing behind him,” said Mo Yue with a sneer.
His comment left Mo Xuwu speechless. True, even if one was blind, one could still see how talented Xiang Shaoyun was. The moment he finished growing, he would dominate the dominion. He could perhaps even reign supreme above all races. If they did not establish a good relationship with him now, it would be a great loss for them.
Not far away, Purple Lightning Marquis was loyally guarding Xiang Shaoyun with a sharp look in his purple eyes, seemingly making it clear that he would kill anyone who dared to interrupt Xiang Shaoyun’s meditation.
