King Of Chaos

It was a small pool of blood filled with bloody and infernal auras. Dark fog could be seen floating a few inches above the ground and on the surface of the blood pool. Strangely, this dark fog neither touched the ground nor did it flew above one meter.

Right at the center of this blood pool, there was a small red tree. On this tree, there were only twelve blood-red leaves, three blood-red flowers, and one blood-red fruit.

This fruit was in the shape of a crystal. To be more clear, it was the Blood Source Crystal which is also one of the reasons why Ye Xiao came to the Land of Nine Hells.

If it was anyone else, they would not have been able to get near the blood pool. It is because the blood pool and even the ground around it were full of traps. There was no lack of natural and artificial traps.

However, the worst of them was the Blood Source Crystal itself.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was no ordinary person.

Not to mention that he was a Chaos Sovereign, he is someone who could even face a Supreme Expert. To him, getting through these traps and obtaining the Blood Source Crystal was really not difficult.

However, Ye Xiao chose the shortest and most direct method to obtain the Blood Source Crystal. He simply teleported in front of it, grabbed it, and teleported to the entrance of the Sixth Layer.

Everything was that simple.

After that, Ye Xiao swoops through the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Layer of the Nine Hells. He finally arrived at the final layer, the Ninth Layer of the Land of Nine Hells.

The Land of Nine Hells was more like a reverse tower. It has a total of nine layers and every layer was smaller than the other. The smaller the layer, the strongest the Abyssals could be found there.

The Eighth Layer of Nine Hells was filled with hundreds of Chaos Sovereign Realm warriors. As for the smallest, the Ninth Layer of Nine Hells, it had a total of Twelve Supreme Experts.

Ye Xiao thought that these experts might be able to put up a good fight at least, but he was wrong. He was able to kill them easily as well.

With the death of these twelve experts, the Abyssal Race was completely wiped out.

Or that was what Ye Xiao thought!

But, is that really the truth?

The Chaos is vast and filled with mysteries. Who knows there might be a second Land of Abyssals somewhere in the dark void. Who knows there might appear a second Land of Abyssals in the future?

The future has boundless possibilities after all.

.....

Ye Xiao left the Infinity Edge Blade in the Land of Nine Hells and left.

The Infinity Edge Blade could stay there and devour every bit of Abyssal Energy for however long it might take.

Ye Xiao still had many Rule Source Crystals to obtain, he could not stay in one place and guard.

To be honest, there was nothing to guard at all.

Firstly, this is the Land of Nine Hells, a Land famous for being the house of Abyssals. No other creatures would dare to come to this Land if they were right in their minds.

Secondly, even if someone did come and try to obtain the Infinity Edge Blade or interrupt its devouring, Ye Xiao could sense it through his bond with the blade. He could then come back at that time.

Ye Xiao's only mission now was to obtain all the Rule Source Crystals. He no longer wanted to delay and went to various Lands as well as Secret Realms to find the Rule Source Crystals.

After obtaining the Rule Source Crystals, he would give them to the Lotus of Chaos.

Just like that, ten years passed.

On this day, Ye Xiao finally obtained the last, 108th, Rule Source Crystal. It was the Rule Source Crystal of Creation.

.....

This was a huge mountain range. Several mountains of unknown heights could be seen everywhere. If there was anything connecting these mountains, then it was a huge forest that covered every mountain.

On one of these mountains, a small bamboo hut could be seen. This hut was shabby, however, if one looked closely, one could see powerful formations and Divine Inscriptions supporting the hut.

There was nothing special about this hut though. The space inside was very small and things were messy.

Ye Xiao was inside this hut, sitting on a mat in one corner. He was in a cross-legged position.

Obviously, Ye Xiao was cultivating.

However, his body could be seen trembling from time to time, as if an intense battle was being fought inside his body. At the same time, traces of blood could be seen flowing out from his nose, eyes, ears, and mouth.

Indeed, a huge battle was taking place inside Ye Xiao's body. His universe was going through a final transformation. After this transformation, it'll evolve into Chaos.

Rules of Chaos were being formed one by another. With every Rule completely taking place, Ye Xiao would gain control over this rule thoroughly.

Now, Ye Xiao was no longer bound by Chaos. His cultivation base doesn't matter. He could simply use any Rule he wants.

It was indeed something to be happy about. However, Ye Xiao was worried that his rules might clash with the Rules of Chaos when he entered the true Chaos.

Currently, his universe was not only expanding crazily; several changes were happening simultaneously. Rules were manifesting one after another; several Lands were being created and destroyed, and even Source Universes could be observed appearing and disappearing. The entire universe was going through a massive storm with a heaven-shattering collision. With every collision, Ye Xiao's body would tremble, and he would suffer internal injuries.

Ye Xiao was doing his utmost to suppress both his injuries and his emotions. He practiced Three Cycle Mastery while simultaneously employing Life Recovery to address the wounds he endured.

Not only was Ye Xiao's universe undergoing a significant transformation, but there was also a change within his Origin Sea. Thanks to the Golden Seed, his Origin Sea had already evolved into a Comprehensive Origin Sea, brimming with Comprehensive Energy.

However, with the ongoing evolution of his universe, the Comprehension Energy within Ye Xiao's Origin Sea was truly settling down. Most notably, traces of another mysterious energy that complemented Ye Xiao's enigmatic bloodline appeared inside his Origin Sea.

These were actually a few strands of Origin Energy manifesting within Ye Xiao's Origin Sea.

Origin Energy is typically acquired by warriors only after achieving a major breakthrough in cultivation and becoming Masters of Chaos. Yet, Ye Xiao already possessed several strands of Origin Energy in his Origin Sea.

While Ye Xiao's universe underwent transformation, a significant event unfolded in the Chaos.

News quickly spread across the Chaos, carrying a rumor that someone had unexpectedly visited the current King of Chaos, resulting in the disappearance of the reigning monarch. Several trusted aides of the King of Chaos also vanished.

The disappearance of the current King marked the end of an era and the dawn of a new one.

This new era would commence immediately upon the appearance of a new King of Chaos.

In light of the King of Chaos's disappearance, every Chaos Sovereigns throughout the Chaos retreated into seclusion. They all understood that it was time to cultivate fervently and open the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials as quickly as possible.

Their shared objective was clear. It was to be the first among all Chaos Sovereigns to unlock the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestial. Only by achieving this could they ascend to the position of the new King of Chaos.

Unknown to Ye Xiao, a few Chaos Sovereigns who were after his life for a special reason entered seclusion as well.

These individuals shared the same sentiment as Ning Fang. They all had a vision of the future that depicted Ling Xiaolong ending their lives. Determined to change this fate, they aimed to eliminate Ling Xiaolong before he could seize the opportunity to take their own life.

However, with the disappearance of the King of Chaos, two choices loomed before them.

If they wished to end Ling Xiaolong's life, they had to give up the chance of becoming the next King of Chaos.

Conversely, if they aspired to claim the title of King of Chaos, they had to forgo the pursuit of killing Ling Xiaolong and instead enter seclusion to unlock the eight Hidden Gates of Celestials.

In the end, none could resist the temptation of becoming the sole King of Chaos of the new era. They all abandoned the idea of killing Ling Xiaolong and delved into cultivation.

Thus, a minor dilemma was resolved for Ye Xiao on its own, and Ye Xiao remained completely oblivious to these developments.

He was also unaware that someone had given up the opportunity to become the next King of Chaos and was diligently searching for him.

It was Elder Mu.

Elder Mu initially visited the Land of Morning Stars and was astounded by the transformations he witnessed there.

Upon learning about the various events and how Ye Xiao's presence resolved the crisis, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a profound smile graced his face.

Ultimately, he departed from the Land of Morning Stars to find Ye Xiao.
