King Of Chaos

Ye Xiao had many questions in his mind, but he knew he would not receive any answer as long as he did not gather all 108 Rule Source Crystals.

Nevertheless, Ling Xiaolong at least chose to explain why he told Ye Xiao about the Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling.

He said, "The Infinity Edge Blade is a very unique blade in itself. It could also continuously evolve as long as it has enough energy. It could devour Abyssal Energy, right?"

Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, Ling Xiaolong smiled.

"Land of Nine Hell is filled with Abyssal Energy. There is so much Abyssal Energy that it is supporting the existence of hundreds of Supreme Experts-ranked Abyssals. All you need to do is go to the Land of Nine Hell and let the Infinity Edge Blade devour every last bit of Abyssal Energy. With that much Abyssal Energy of that Land, I'm confident that the Infinity Edge Blade could evolve to Top Grade Mystery Descent rank."

Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this.

Indeed, the Infinity Edge Blade had shown interest in the Abyssal Energy from the very start. In fact, there was also a time when it devoured the Abyssal Energy and evolved to the next rank.

There are several ranks of weapons and treasures. They are Empyrean, Soulbound, Heavenly Soul, Celestial Spirit, Celestial Destroyer, Mystery Descent, Heavenly Mystery, and Ethereal Guardian.

Every rank is further divided into four grades. They are Low Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.

Although Ye Xiao always only looked at the rank of a weapon and never bothered to look at the grade of his weapons, it doesn't mean the grade does not exist.

By devouring every bit of Abyssal Energy of the Land of Nine Hells, his Infinity Edge Blade could evolve to the Top Grade Mystery Descent rank.

But... Is sacrificing the lives of countless Abyssals and the source of their strength, Abyssal Energy, just to evolve a single weapon the right thing to do?

"You are truly..."

Ling Xiaolong shook his head and advised him, "There are times when you should only think about yourself. Not to mention Abyssals, this entire Chaos was created for one purpose; that is to help in cultivation by any means necessary. Even if this Chaos is completely destroyed just to help you increase your strength, it is worth it."

"So what if Abyssals are completely wiped out or the Land of Nine Hells is destroyed? They should never have existed in the first place. Their existence is because of you. You are the reason for their creation, the reason for their survival, and you will be the reason for their demise."

"Do you truly believe that the Lotus of Chaos can give rise to a Chaos?"

"Remember, a true Chaos can only be born from the Tree of Chaos. This Chaos emerged from the Lotus of Chaos only because of me... us. I sacrificed too much just to pave a path of survival for you so that you could become stronger and achieve what I failed to do. If you cannot even fulfill that, then you should die instead."

"I'm not telling you to be selfish and only think about yourself; however, there are moments when you have to prioritize yourself instead of others. Moreover, Abyssals are creatures even more frightening and corrupted than Heavenly Demons. It's better not to consider their lives!"

Ye Xiao also knew these things. He would not think even for a moment before killing them.

However, when it comes to completely wiping out their existence and the source of their existence, he starts hesitating.

Abyssal Energy is the source of Abyssals. If there is no Abyssal Energy, Abyssals will no longer born.

"I understand!"

In the end, Ye Xiao nodded and agreed to do what was needed to evolve his Infinity Edge Blade. In order to do that, if he has to annihilate Abyssals, so be it.

Ling Xiaolong was satisfied with Ye Xiao's answer. He then continued speaking, "When you are in the Land of Celestial Glory, find Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling and persuade him to merge the Infinity Edge Blade and Celestial Glory Blade. Only he can do that. Once these two weapons are merged, a new weapon will be born. That weapon will be the first-ever Ethereal Guardian-ranked weapon in the entire Chaos."

Ye Xiao finally understood the reason why Ling Xiaolong told him about Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling.

An Ethereal Guardian-ranked weapon, and the first-ever weapon of this rank...

Ye Xiao took a deep breath.

By now, he was already aware of the ranks of treasures and weapons in both Chaoses. As far as he knows, only the Tree of Chaos is an Ethereal Guardian-ranked Treasure, and it is the reason behind the birth of real Chaos.

Suddenly, something crossed his mind.

What about the Golden Seed?

That seed was continuously discharging comprehensive energy inside Ye Xiao's Origin Sea. By now, his Origin Sea has already transformed into a Comprehensive Origin Sea.

Ye Xiao never understood what exactly this seed is. He could not help but ask this question.

Ling Xiaolong, of course, answered him. But this answer was something Ye Xiao never expected.

It turned out that the Golden Seed's true name was Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

It is said that when there was nothing, absolutely nothing but darkness. In the void of this emptiness, two Eternal Guardians were born. They were the Seed of the Tree of Chaos and Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Over the expanse of time, the Seed of the Tree of Chaos underwent a transformative journey. It absorbed the Energy of Eternal Comprehension discharged by the Timeless Enlightenment Seed. Slowly, the seed began to sprout, and after countless eons, a magnificent Tree of Chaos took root in the absolute darkness.

This tree became a cradle for chaos itself. It gave birth to Chaos and life slowly started blooming here.

On the other hand, the Timeless Enlightenment Seed retained its enigmatic essence. For reasons unknown, it remained in its seed form throughout eternity.

The legends of these two seeds had been recorded in the ancient records of chaos and the history of absolute darkness.

The Timeless Enlightenment Seed, in particular, became a subject of speculation and wonder. Its existence was known to all, yet its whereabouts and appearance remained elusive, locked in the annals of legend. No one knew where the Timeless Enlightenment Seed had disappeared not long after the birth of Chaos.

Ling Xiaolong also explained how he obtained this seed. It turned out that he obtained the Timeless Enlightenment Seed when he ventured into the Primordial Origin Sea of the Tree of Chaos.

Through immense effort, he created a small gap in the trunks of the Tree of Chaos, and it was through this gap that he entered the Primordial Origin Sea. There, countless Lotuses of Chaos could be seen blooming, surrounded by divine brilliance. Within this sacred space, Ling Xiaolong discovered the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Ling Xiaolong had no idea how the Timeless Enlightenment Seed ended up in the Primordial Origin Sea of Tree of Chaos.

Not only did he take away a Lotus of Chaos for a great purpose, but he also took away the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Ling Xiaolong then utilized the Comprehensive Energy of the Timeless Enlightenment Seed to accomplish numerous things. It was thanks to this Comprehensive Energy that he achieved the seemingly impossible. Albeit incomplete, he managed to induce the Lotus of Chaos to bring forth the manifestation of Chaos. From there, his plan for a grand return began.

Anyway, other than knowing that the Timeless Enlightenment Seed could continuously discharge comprehensive energy, even he does not know anything more about this Eternal Guardian-ranked treasure.

After Ye Xiao set foot in Chaos for the first time, Ling Xiaolong put the Timeless Enlightenment Seed in a secret realm connected to the Land of Morning Stars. This way, this seed ended up in Ye Xiao's hand in the end.

"Even you don't know anything more about this treasure?"

Ye Xiao was surprised. He dared not take a look inside his Origin Sea, fearing he might end up sleeping for eternity, in the state of enlightenment.

A treasure that was born along with the Tree of Chaos!

Ye Xiao could not help but marvel. There must be other things that the Golden Seed could do. It is just that no one knows how.

If he managed to make the Timeless Enlightenment Seed sprout, he might be able to learn more about its functions. However, achieving this seemed to be an insurmountable challenge.

After all, this seed had remained dormant for all eternity. It existed before the birth of true chaos. In fact, it was there even when the Tree of Chaos was just a seed.

The Tree of Chaos only began to sprout from its seed state after absorbing the comprehensive energy released by the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

But what about this enigmatic seed?

What kind of energy could prompt it to sprout?

Ye Xiao knew he could only find answers with time, and that is only in true chaos. There is also a possibility that he might never be able to find an answer.
