The Primum Mobile Holy Palace was a place that appeared to be both a world and a space. The ruler, who controlled everything, overlooked all living beings.

"Reporting to the Hallowed Venerable!"

"What is it?"

A refined man strode in with a respectful expression.

"Hallowed Venerable, while I am supervising the holy city, something major happened recently. A Perfected Lord used a divine ability to kill a Perfected Deity. It caused an uproar."

"Oh? Are you tempted?"

The great Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile gave a half-smile. The refined man opened his mouth, but could not say anything. Who would not be tempted by such a divine ability?

Even though he was a high-up and famous top-notch Perfected Deity who had cultivated a greater divine ability, he was still stunned by this matter.

"I already know about this matter, but you can't touch this person!"

"Huh? Hallowed Venerable, there's someone I can't touch?"

The refined man was very confused. He was the disciple of the Hallowed Venerable. In the holy city of Chaos, he was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. He was also a top-notch Perfected Deity who had cultivated a greater divine ability. There was no one he did not dare to touch. However, the one who spoke was the Hallowed Venerable. He did not dare to disobey.

"It's very simple. He cultivates the Spirit Flame Hallowed Body."

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile's tone was inexplicable, as if he was both a little emotional and a little regretful.

"Spirit Flame Hallowed Body? Could it be the divine ability created by the disciple of Hallowed Venerable Styx, Perfected Deity Easterly?"

"That's right. Now you know why you can't touch him."

"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave. Moreover, I'll warn all the top-notch Perfected Deities in Holy City Primum Mobile not to act without permission."

The refined man was shocked. He knew very well what this divine ability represented. It was indeed a great divine ability, and its power was very extraordinary. In fact, its intention was not a great divine ability, but an ultimate divine ability above greater divine ability!

Although it did not become an ultimate divine ability in the end, it was indeed much stronger than ordinary greater divine abilities. However, this was nothing much. It was just a greater divine ability. What was truly terrifying was the significance behind this greater divine ability.

It was that vindictive and extremely protective Hallowed Venerable Styx!

When it involved a Hallowed Venerable, and the most protective and vindictive one at that, no one dared to act rashly.

"All right, you may leave."

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile waved his hand and dismissed his disciple.

"Perfected Deity Easterly… What a pity!"

A trace of regret appeared in the eyes of the Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile. Then, with a wave of his hand, he seemed to have passed through infinite space and entered a hazy mystic realm.

In this mystic realm, a dignified middle-aged man sat high up. His figure could not be seen clearly, but he emitted infinite authority.

Swoosh.

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, what brings you here?"

"Hallowed Venerable Styx, you've already cultivated ascetically for 380 million years. Have you created an ultimate divine ability yet?" Divine Venerable Primum Mobile asked with a smile.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was the famous Hallowed Venerable of another holy city of Chaos, Hallowed Venerable Styx!

There were seven Chaotic Hallowed Venerables in the Chaos. Five of them were Transcendents, and two were native living beings of the Chaos who had become Hallowed Venerables. This Hallowed Venerable Styx was one of the only two native living beings of the Chaos.

His strength was also unfathomable. In terms of mastery over the Supreme Rule, he was ranked in the top three among the seven Hallowed Venerables, and was even stronger than Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile.

"Is an ultimate divine ability so easy to create? 380 million years is too brief. Currently, I only have a little clue. Creating an ultimate divine ability is easier said than done," Hallowed Venerable Styx said indifferently, without much emotion.

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile heaved a long sigh inwardly. He knew why Hallowed Venerable Styx was so obsessed with creating an ultimate divine ability. Actually, whether they had an ultimate divine ability was meaningless to Hallowed Venerables.

So what if an ultimate divine ability really appeared? At most, they could only reach the level of Chaotic hallowed beasts and become a Hallowed Spirit. However, in the eyes of the Chaotic Hallowed Venerables, without mastering the Supreme Rule and becoming a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable, they were ultimately insignificant.

This was the case even for Chaotic hallowed beasts. They were just ants.

However, back then, Hallowed Venerable Styx had an extremely talented disciple, who had always hoped to deduce and create an ultimate divine ability that could allow him to become a Hallowed Spirit.

Even if one could not become a Hallowed Venerable, they would still be comparable to a Chaotic hallowed beast, and reach the peak of cultivation. This was also the goal of all cultivators. In terms of realm, there was actually no difference between the realms of a Hallowed Venerable and a Perfected Deity. In fact, it was still impossible for him to deduce the ultimate divine ability.

"Hallowed Venerable Styx, do you still remember Perfected Deity Easterly?"

"Huh?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Hallowed Venerable Styx's face.

"Back then, Perfected Deity Easterly created the Spirit Flame Hallowed Body. He was only one step away from creating an ultimate divine ability. His talent was truly astonishing. He should be the strongest Perfected Deity! Unfortunately, geniuses are not favored by the heavens. In the end, Perfected Deity Easterly still fell, and even his spirit was destroyed."

Hallowed Venerable Styx thought of Perfected Deity Easterly back then. That was his third disciple. He had many disciples, but the one he valued the most and liked the most was his third disciple, Perfected Deity Easterly.

Perfected Deity Easterly was extremely talented, and his comprehension ability was very strong. He even vaguely showed signs of becoming the top Perfected Deity. Be it his strength or aptitude back then, he could be considered the top Perfected Deity.

If not for the fact that Hallowed Venerable Styx had not discovered the Chaotic Origin Stone, and the Chaotic Origin Stone had not appeared back then, Hallowed Venerable Styx would even do everything he could to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone for Perfected Deity Easterly, and help him become a Hallowed Venerable!

Unfortunately, while Perfected Deity Easterly was just a little away from creating an ultimate divine ability, in the end, he failed while on the verge of success. He was devoured by a Chaotic hallowed beast, the Nine-headed Taotie.

The Nine-headed Taoties was born in the Chaos. It was rumored that it was the son of the Ancestral Dragon, but by chance, for some unknown reason, it grew nine heads. It actually broke through the shackles of its bloodline, and became a Chaotic hallowed beast.

Moreover, it was even more terrifying than ordinary Chaotic hallowed beasts. It could devour everything. Anything that entered its stomach, be it Chaotic spirit treasures, natural treasures, or even the perfected spirits of cultivators, could not escape.

Although Perfected Deity Easterly was very strong, he was not a match for the Nine-headed Taotie. He was devoured in one gulp, and even his perfected spirit was destroyed. He did not even have the chance to reincarnate.

In his anger, Hallowed Venerable Styx personally found the Nine-headed Taotie. He originally wanted to kill it, but the Nine-headed Taotie was indeed impressive. It actually survived, and fled into the endless Dark Domain of Chaos.

The Dark Domain of Chaos was boundless and beyond the Chaos. Even Chaotic hallowed beasts would be doomed if they entered it. However, the power of Chaotic Hallowed Venerables could not reach the Dark Domain of Chaos. Hence, the Nine-headed Taotie that escaped into the Dark Domain of Chaos was equivalent to an exile. No one knew if it was alive or dead.

However, no matter what happened to the Nine-headed Taotie, Perfected Deity Easterly could never come back to life. His spirit and form were both destroyed! From then on, Hallowed Venerable Styx had stayed in seclusion, trying to create an ultimate divine ability in dedication to Perfected Deity Easterly.

"These are all things of the past. Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, why are you bringing this up?"

Hallowed Venerable Styx was also a little surprised.

"The Spirit Flame Hallowed Body has appeared again!" Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile said concisely and indifferently.

When Hallowed Venerable Styx heard this, however, his heart skipped a beat.
