This was the first time Jiang Ming released the power of his Lord Saint Soul without holding back. His power was boundless and limitless, as vast as the might of Heaven itself.
The whole Sea of Chaos was suppressed by him.
There was a mountain that was a light-year high, where Jiang Ming discovered a large number of ferocious beasts of the Chaos. Each of them was hideously terrifying. If they were loose, they would cause irreparable trauma to the origin of the universe or even its death.
Jiang Ming’s soul power slightly shook, completely annihilating the whole fleet of ferocious beasts and the mountain itself with it, leaving nothing behind.
This was one of the terrifying aspects of the power of a Lord Saint Soul. It didn’t matter if it was the mountain or the tsunami, none could attest to it.
Eventually, Jiang Ming had his soul power to cover the entire Sea of Chaos and he discovered the anomaly.
“Found it!” Jiang Ming stood up expressively in the Sea of Chaos. His divine eyes emanated boundless luminance.
From his inception, he discovered a hidden layer of space. It was in the depths of the Chaos, above the Chaos itself, seemingly integrated into the frequency of the Chaos.
It was a profound mystery.
“Open up for me!” Now that he had discovered a hidden secret, how could Jiang Ming not take a peek?
A streak of sword luminance blossomed in between his brows. In a flash, it penetrated time and space, ripped through the void and landed onto the seemingly vague door. With just a single hit, the shackles cracked and the membrane was slashed open.
Rumble…
It was also at this moment that the explosive sound spread throughout the Sea of Chaos, setting off boundless storms.
However, what appeared in front of Jiang Ming was a mysteriously vast space. It was incomparably dark at one side and filled with an infinite amount of creation Qi at the other. The darkness occupied only one percent of the space, but it was eroding the ocean of green luminance on the other side.
Right the very next moment, a pair of golden eyes abruptly looked over at Jiang Ming’s direction. The gaze harbored an incomparably powerful force of will that came crashing down, causing Jiang Ming’s heart and soul to tremble.
‘The will power of the Lord Saint level. It’s much higher than me! Very much higher!’ Jiang Ming’s heart trembled.
“Feeble creature!” The voice of a will relayed, containing boundless coldness and killing intent, followed by a beast’s claw that penetrated through space and time. It was as if it came from an endless distance, yet appeared right in front of him, slapping down towards his head.
The beast’s claw contained an immense amount of power. It suppressed all the order of the Sea of Chaos.
‘This is an attack that surpasses that of a King Saint!’ Jiang Ming’s heart jumped wildly.
As he raised his arm, Jiang Ming pointed his finger. It was the Return of Infinite Law Finger Technique that integrated 3,000 Daos and 3,000 laws. He incorporated his power of cultivation as well as his physical power into the technique, striking the most terrifying blow of all towards the beast’s claw.
Boom…
As a deafening explosion erupted, the Chaos seemed as though it had lost its colors, as boundless beings withered. The rolling torrent that was set off by the attack, submerged an unknown area of Chaos.
Jiang Ming was also sent flying with that single blow. His fingers and arm couldn’t withstand the terrifying power that was passed through it and exploded one after another.
His flesh body which was at the middle stage of the King Saint also erupted.
A look of shock flashed through Jiang Ming’s face as the power of his Lord Saint Soul surged outwards, finally suppressing the force.
When he looked ahead and saw the beast’s claw raised yet again, his pupils shrank again.
The beast’s claw gripped and a billion-mile long black lance appeared. It was emanating an endless sharpness, where the power of destruction could pierce through the chaos. It caused Jiang Ming’s heart to skip a beat and his mind froze for a moment.
‘It’s the Dao vessel that’s above the Lord Saint!’
Jiang Ming was left horrified. He could no longer care about anything else, as he immediately evoked the Human Path Record and leapt inside, disappearing without a trace.
The lance gave lurch and the Sea of Chaos was surging.
A pair of ferocious eyes of the savage beast from the unknown, scanned through the entire Sea of Chaos but was unable to find any traces of Jiang Ming. His gaze finally fell onto the Xinghe Universe. As it lifted the lance, it didn’t strike down but cowered back at the end.
…
Back in Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead.
God damn it! What in the world was that? It was too terrifyingly powerful. Putting its strength aside, it even had a supreme Dao vessel that could destroy the entire Sea of Chaos. It was just too unbelievable.
Jiang Ming looked over at his right arm. Although he had recovered, he could still feel the pain. He then laid back on the rattan chair and quickly calmed down.
Swoosh…
The Human Path Record was floating in front of him. Jiang Ming flipped through and the information on the savage beast appeared.
That was the Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast. It was an anomaly of the Chaos that was born into the Saint Realm and grew by devouring universes.
It was born with intelligence and continued to grow in the shadows silently. When it surreptitiously devoured one universe after another, he inevitably fought off with other Saint Realm Experts and also the other savage beasts of the Chaos. He gradually grew into the limits of the King Saint.
The Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast discovered a great chiliocosm. It had the feeling that if it was to devour that chiliocosm, it would definitely advance into the Lord Saint Realm.
Great Chiliocosms were of no danger to it either. It evoked its special ability to imprison the entire chiliocosm. Just when he began devouring the chiliocosm, plundering its origin and also the creation Qi of the sentient beings, it was discovered by a Lord Saint that originated from the chiliocosm, who quickly returned to the chiliocosm.
A great battle broke out unexpectedly.
Although the Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast was only at the pinnacle of the King Saint Realm, it was the Demonic God of the Chaos with peerless talents and invincible special abilities. It actually managed to fend off the expert but fell short at the end.
The great battle was terrifying and stained the Chaos in blood. It was forced to escape.
However, how could it escape easily? Just as it was about to face its ordeal, there was a destructive chaotic storm that had been around for who knows how many billion light years looming over. This was a terrifying force that was capable of destroying anything and everything. With no way to escape, the beast dove headfirst into it.
However, the chase by the human did not stop.
In desperation, the beast came to the center of the storm. There was an incomparably dark and unstable passage which was emitting an incomparably terrifying aura.
The Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast gritted its teeth and plunged right in.
The passage was destroyed.
It narrowly escaped death and came out from the other side of the passage. The place there was still filled with chaotic air flow but the passage that was behind it had disappeared without a trace.
The beast’s body had ruptures and was riddled with holes. It was barely clinging to its life. It took a full three and a half billion years’ time to recover. The beast also discovered that the place was another Sea of Chaos.
The beast traveled through the Chaos and found the oddity. There wasn’t any chiliocosm around. There wasn’t any small chiliocosm, let alone great chiliocosm.
Months and years went by as it continued to travel through the Chaos. On one fateful day, he stumbled upon a scene that shook him.
In front of him was entirely of shadow. As it moved forward, it discovered that this shadow was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was covering the entire Chaos.
Even though the beast was of the King Saint Realm, it was still difficult for it to peep through the shadows and take a general view of the thing. He discovered that this so-called shadow was an immensely huge tree.
Each leaf evolved into a small chilicosom, while each root formed a long river of Chaos. However, the tree had withered. Its branches and leaves wilted and an aura of death filled the air.
The Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast was shocked. It was able to recognize that the tree was the legendary Chaotic World Tree. It was a World Tree that was at its peak. The single tree was able to support the entire Sea of Chaos. However, for some reason,the tree had withered.
Nevertheless, the Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast was euphoric. If it was able to steal the origin of the Chaotic World Tree, it would definitely grow to a terrifying degree.
However, entering the space of the Chaotic World Tree’s origin was very difficult. By relying on its own innate special ability, he spent 10.8 billion years before succeeding. However, it was almost being assimilated by the vast power of origin within.
By relying on his special ability to devour, it slowly devoured the origin little by little to strengthen itself. He also discovered that there was a smaller version of the Chaos. Within the small Chaos, there were many chiliocosms revolving within, containing vibrant life.
The Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast was appalled. It speculated that this was perhaps the Chaotic World Tree’s silver lining. As the internal Chaos continued its cycle, it would allow the World Tree to come back to life.
The Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast wanted to destroy the internal Chaos but realized that it simply couldn’t.
Through devouring the origin however, its strength soared and it gradually grasped a trace of authority over the chiliocosm. It had been attracting the King Saints who were struggling to transcend within the internal Chaos and devoured them one after another.
As time passed and the life cycle continued, its cultivation had gradually advanced into the Lord Saint Realm, and even reached a profound and unfathomable degree.
During this period of time, a King Saint Expert from the Xinghe Universe managed to resist his power of attraction.
In order to avoid any unforeseen accidents, the beast was ready to forcibly kill that King Saint but was met with the resistance from the will of the universe. It also triggered the revival of the dormant power of the Chaotic World Tree, which forced the beast to retreat temporarily.
As time flew by, the Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast managed to accelerate its devouring speed of the Chaotic World Tree’s origin. It even speculated that it would take less than ten billion years for it to completely plunder the origin and by then, it would undergo the ultimate transformation itself.
Unexpectedly however, a Lord Saint Expert appeared within the Sea of Chaos. The beast was greatly shocked and was prepared to forcibly kill that expert.
It even went as far as to evoke the Chaos Dao Vessel that it obtained from the space of the World Tree’s origin. However, the expert’s sudden disappearance overwhelmed the beast. It vaguely felt the impending danger and was prepared to speed up the pace of devouring the World Tree’s origin.
Jiang Ming carefully read the information of the Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast. The contents had surprised him greatly.
‘There’s actually another World Tree? Moreover, it’s the World Tree that’s grown to its ultimate stage? How powerful would its power of origin be, that it could render a Lord Saint, or rather a peak stage Lord Saint Chaos Universe Annihilation Beast to temporarily be unable to devour it completely? And how could the World Tree wither?”
Jiang Ming had numerous doubts. But most of all, he was still ecstatic. He had even welled up with a thought, ‘My Dao has formed!’
