Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal
Chapter 652: The Supreme Returns and Chaos Showdown
"The space is chaotic." Xu Xian practiced his skills to calm his mind, "No wonder even a Daluo Jinxian would get lost."
After walking for about an hour, three forks appeared ahead. According to the information Qin Wang had left behind, the left one led to the "Rebirth Hall," the middle one to the "Well of Samsara," and the right one to the "Supreme Tomb."
Just as Xu Xian was about to turn right, the seed suddenly vibrated violently, sending a strong warning. He stopped abruptly and noticed fresh footprints on the ground in the right passage—toes pointing outward, indicating that someone had just emerged!
"Someone got there first?" Xu Xian held his breath and concentrated, a gray-gold butterfly condensed from his fingertips and flew gently into the passage on the right.
The image from his butterfly perspective made his heart tighten: at the end of the passage was a circular tomb chamber. The central stone platform was empty, leaving only a human-shaped recess. Four broken chains dangled from the corners of the platform, their broken ends flickering with an eerie black light.
The most horrifying thing was that there were a few pieces of golden bone scattered on the floor of the tomb - the remains of the Supreme Being! And next to the bone fragments, there was a series of wet footprints, extending into the shadows deep in the tomb.
"The remains have been taken away." Xu Xian was about to take back the butterfly when a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows and crushed the butterfly to pieces!
The moment the visual connection was severed, Xu Xian saw a familiar face—Zhao Hanjiang, the leader of the Dragon Scale Guard who had disappeared in the Chaos Tide three months prior! But now, his eyes were as dark as ink, and his mouth stretched from ear to ear, revealing an inhuman grin.
"Not good!" Xu Xian retreated quickly, but the passage on the right suddenly collapsed, and a black shadow rushed out like lightning!
At the critical moment, Xu Xian summoned his seed, and the gray-golden light curtain barely blocked the shadow's sharp claws. The shockwave from the collision blew away the rock wall within a radius of ten feet, revealing a dense mass of pale arms behind it—the entire ancient road had been infiltrated by the Chaos Undead!
"Xu Xian." The black shadow landed on the ground. It was indeed Zhao Hanjiang, but his voice had changed to Long Wuji's tone. "Long time no see."
Xu Xian's pupils suddenly shrank: "Long Wuji? Haven't you already..."
“Dead?” Zhao Hanjiang—or rather, the remnant of Long Wuji’s spirit that occupied his body—smiled twistedly. “In chaos, death is just another form of existence.”
He raised his right hand, holding a small piece of golden bone in his palm. "Are you looking for this?"
Although the bone fragment was small, it exuded a suffocating pressure. The seed in Xu Xian's body trembled wildly, which was the induction of the remains of the Fourth Supreme!
"Hand over the remains." Xu Xian pointed his sword at Long Wuji, and the gray-gold sword energy flowed on the sword tip.
Long Wuji pressed the bone into his chest. As the black mist surged, his aura rose steadily. "It's too late. The power of the Supreme has already merged with me."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Xian suddenly attacked! His sword energy was like a rainbow and pierced Long Wuji's throat, but was blocked by a layer of black film three inches away.
"It's useless." Long Wuji chuckled. "In the depths of this ancient road, chaos reigns supreme."
He snapped his fingers, and pale arms surged forward from the rock wall like a tide. Xu Xian was caught between a rock and a hard place, quickly forced into a corner. Seeing no way out, he suddenly pressed his seed against his heart!
"Junior brother, help me!"
The seed shone brightly, and gray-gold lines appeared all over Xu Xian's body. Even more astonishingly, those lines resonated with certain ancient carvings on the rock wall—they were the sealing runes left by the Fourth Supreme!
The entire ancient path suddenly shook violently, and the pale arms retreated back into the rock wall as if struck by lightning. Long Wuji's face changed drastically: "You can actually activate the ancient path's restrictions?!"
Xu Xian was also surprised, but he seized the opportunity and stabbed Long Wuji in the chest with a sword, aiming at the supreme bone fragment!
"laugh!"
The sword's tip pierced three inches into his flesh, sending black blood gushing out. Long Wuji let out a howl that was not human, and the sword's energy actually ripped a bone from his chest.
"Don't even think about it!" Long Wuji was furious, grabbing the sword. Black mist spread along the sword and towards Xu Xian's arm, and the flesh and blood withered rapidly wherever it passed.
At the critical moment, Xu Xian formed a seal with his left hand, and the seed suddenly shot out a gray-gold beam of light, accurately hitting the bone fragment!
"Ah!" Long Wuji screamed miserably, and bone fragments flew out from the wound. Xu Xian leaped forward to catch them, and immediately felt the surging power of the Supreme Being flow through his arm and into his Dantian.
Long Wuji's body began to disintegrate, and his final curse came from the black mist: "You will all be buried with me."
With a loud bang, Zhao Hanjiang's body exploded into a bloody mist. Xu Xian had no time to breathe as the entire ancient road began to collapse. Without the suppression of the Supreme Remains, the spatial structure here was disintegrating!
He desperately rushed out, the passage behind him constantly closing like a huge mouth. Just as he was about to be swallowed, a golden light shot out from the entrance, wrapped around his body and pulled it out violently.
"Plop!"
Xu Xian fell heavily outside the entrance of the ancient road. He looked up and saw Wenquxingjun holding a golden scroll, his face as pale as paper.
"Xingjun? How are you?"
"No time to explain!" Wenquxingjun pulled Xu Xian up, "Something happened to the Star Alliance! Emperor Tianyi initiated the summoning ceremony ahead of schedule!"
Star Alliance: Chaos Arrives
When the two rushed back to the Star Alliance headquarters, the scene before them almost made Xu Xian's heart stop beating -
A massive hole appeared in the protective formation above the main altar. Three beams of light shot down from the distant realms of Tianxuan, Tianquan, and Yuheng, converging at the hole. At its center, a pitch-black egg slowly spun, its blood-red patterns flickering like breathing.
What was even more terrifying was that there were hundreds of monks lying in a mess on the main altar square, each of them had a black vine stuck in his chest, and the other end of the vine was connected to a black egg, as if it was transporting nutrients.
"Chaos parasite." Wenquxingjun's voice trembled, "The Holy Emperor Tianyi used them all as sacrifices!"
Just as Xu Xian was about to charge forward, a golden light suddenly struck him from the side. He dodged hastily, but was still cut on his left shoulder, and golden blood spilled onto the ground.
"It's you, indeed." Saint Emperor Tianyi walked out of the void, the Nine Heavens Palace hovering overhead. However, the once dazzling palace was now shrouded in black mist. "I knew you would go to the Qingyuan Ancient Road."
Xu Xian clenched the Supreme Bone Fragment and said, "You betrayed the Star Alliance just for this?"
"Betrayal?" Tianyi Saint Emperor laughed. "I am saving this world!" He pointed at the black egg. "When the Supreme One descends, all living beings will gain eternal life!"
Wenquxingjun angrily retorted: "Absurd! Chaos will only devour everything!"
Tianyi Saint Emperor ignored him, forming hand seals. The black egg suddenly accelerated its rotation, and the projection of the waters of the Three Realms formed a vortex around the egg. The seed within Xu Xian's body frantically warned—hatching was about to be completed!
"There's no time!" Xu Xian pressed the Supreme Bone Piece against his chest, and a gray-gold light instantly enveloped his entire body. "Star Lord, help me protect the law!"
Wenquxingjun understood and unfolded a golden scroll. The scroll transformed into a golden dragon, dancing around the two of them, forming a protective barrier.
Xu Xian closed his eyes and focused inward, channeling the energy of the Supreme Bone Flake into the seed. The bone fragment gradually dissolved, but the seed's roots grew stronger, and a small bud suddenly emerged between two tender leaves!
"Not enough!" Xu Xian gritted his teeth, forcing his own essence into the flower bud. The bud expanded at a visible speed, but it was still one step away from fully blooming. Just then, the black egg suddenly cracked open, and a pure black eye turned behind the crack, locking onto Xu Xian!
"Pfft!"
Without warning, a black thorn pierced through the Golden Dragon barrier and pierced Xu Xian's abdomen! Wenquxingjun was shocked and hurriedly strengthened his defenses, but it was too late - the chaotic aura attached to the black thorn had already penetrated Xu Xian's body!
"Hahaha!" Tianyi Saint Emperor laughed wildly, "The Supreme has awakened, you..."
His laughter stopped abruptly, because Xu Xian actually grabbed the black thorn and actively absorbed more chaotic energy into his body!
"Are you crazy?" Saint Emperor Tianyi couldn't believe it.
Blood oozed from the corner of Xu Xian's mouth, but he revealed a resolute smile: "Chaos and order are one."
As the chaotic energy entered his body, the seed bud suddenly blossomed! In the center of the flower, a thumb-sized gray-gold figure slowly stood up. His appearance was exactly the same as Qin Wang's!
The villain looked up at Hei Luan and said softly:
"Brother, I'm back."
The moment the gray-gold flower blossomed, time seemed to stand still throughout the Star Alliance headquarters. The blood from Xu Xian's abdominal wound ceased to bleed, the splattering droplets of blood frozen in mid-air. Wenquxingjun's expression of astonishment remained frozen in place. Even the eye within the crack of the black egg ceased its movement.
Only the gray-gold figure in the center of the flower leaped gently and landed on Xu Xian's shoulder. He was only the size of a thumb, but he exuded a pressure that shook the heavens and the earth—the aura of the Supreme Being!
"Junior brother, is it really you?" Xu Xian's voice trembled as he looked at the little man on his shoulder in disbelief.
The man's face was identical to Qin Wang's, with a gray-gold vertical line between his eyebrows. He nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the black egg. "Time is limited, Senior Brother, watch carefully—this is the true use of the Chaos Tribulation Sutra."
As soon as the words fell, time began to flow again. The eye in the black egg suddenly contracted, and the crack instantly expanded three times. A huge claw covered with black scales stretched out and headed straight for Xu Xian!
Qin Wang raised his right hand slightly, and a gray-gold light curtain appeared out of thin air. The giant claws collided with the light curtain, making a deafening roar, but could not move forward at all.
"Impossible!" Tianyi Saint Emperor's face changed drastically. "The Supreme has already awakened, how could it be..."
Qin Wang turned to look at him, his eyes blazing with lightning. "You didn't summon the Fifth Supreme Being." He pointed at the black egg, "It's just the remains of a Supreme Being contaminated by Chaos."
As if to confirm his words, the black egg completely burst, revealing the creature inside - it was indeed a human body, but it was covered with black scales, with seven bone spurs on its back, and the head looked like the Fourth Supreme!
"Master's remains!" Xu Xian gasped. "They turned them into puppets!"
Wenquxingjun suddenly realized: "No wonder we can find the Supreme Bone Fragment on the Qingyuan Ancient Road. That was the bait they deliberately left behind!"
The Chaos Puppet let out a piercing scream, and seven bone spikes shot out simultaneously, each carrying a terrifying force that could corrode the void. Qin Wang remained calm, forming seals with his hands. A gray-gold seed suddenly flew out of Xu Xian's body, hovering above everyone's heads.
"Chaos and order are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive." Qin Wang's voice echoed between heaven and earth. "Today, I will use the power of chaos to counter chaos!"
As the seed spun, the seven bone spikes unexpectedly reversed direction and stabbed back at the Chaos Puppet! The puppet hastily dodged, but was still pierced by three of the bone spikes, and black blood gushed out like a fountain.
Seeing the situation was dire, the Holy Emperor Tianyi turned and attempted to flee. Wenquxingjun was prepared, and the golden scroll transformed into a cage to trap him: "Want to leave? Too late!"
In the center of the battlefield, Qin Wang's figure gradually grew. With every wisp of black mist emitted by the Chaos Puppet he absorbed, he grew a little taller. When his height reached the size of a normal human, he stretched out his hand, and fragments of the Heaven-Cutting Sword flew in from all directions, reassembling in his hand.
"Brother, can you lend me your essence and blood?" Qin Wang turned around and said.
Without hesitation, Xu Xian slashed his wrist, and his golden blood spilled onto the sword. A dazzling light shone from the crack, and the sword became as good as new!
The Chaos Puppet seemed to sense a threat and suddenly pounced on the monks entangled in black vines. Xu Xian immediately understood its intention: "Oh no! It wants to absorb the sacrifice to restore its strength!"
Qin Wang had anticipated this and slashed through the air with his Heaven-Cutting Sword. The sword flashed like a rainbow, but it did not attack the puppets, but cut through all the black vines connecting the monks!
"Xingjun, save people!" Qin Wang shouted, and he held his sword to face the Chaos Puppet.
Wenquxingjun hurriedly cast a spell, moving the unconscious monk to a safe area. Xu Xian also wanted to help, but stumbled due to excessive blood loss. At this moment, the seed roots in his body suddenly came to life, protruding from the wound and greedily absorbing the chaotic energy in the air!
"This is..." Xu Xian was surprised to find that as the chaotic energy entered his body, his injuries were healing rapidly and his cultivation was slowly recovering.
In the center of the battlefield, Qin Wang's battle with the Chaos Puppet reached a fever pitch. Though the puppet had lost its supply of sacrifices, its power remained terrifying. Its seven bone spurs, acting like arms and fingers, combined with sharp claws and black mist, transformed a thousand-foot radius into a realm of death.
Qin Wang, however, appeared to be at ease, his Heaven-Cutting Sword perfectly blocking every attack with every swing. Even more amazingly, he mimicked the puppet's moves during the battle, and soon, seven streaks of gray-gold sword light condensed behind him!
"Those who imitate me will live, those who imitate me will die." Qin Wang suddenly changed his tactics. Seven sword beams collided with the bone spurs, making a clanging sound. Just as the puppet was knocked back, he formed his left hand into a claw and unleashed the same "Black Dragon Heart-Ripping" technique as Long Wuji!
"Pfft!"
This claw pierced directly through the puppet's chest and accurately grasped its core - a piece of pitch-black supreme bone!
"I found you." Qin Wang sneered and tugged hard. As the bone fragment left the body, the puppet let out a shrill wail and began to disintegrate.
Just as victory was in sight, something unexpected happened! Trapped by the Star Lord Wenqu, the Holy Emperor Tianyi suddenly exploded, his flesh and blood transforming into black mist and merging into the void. Immediately afterwards, a violent tremor erupted from beneath the Star Alliance, and an aura ten times more terrifying than that of the puppet rose into the sky!
"There is a second hatchery!" Wenquxingjun exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Wang's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood the enemy's plan: "Lure the tiger away from the mountain! There are two Chaos Eggs, we've fallen into a trap!"
The cracks in the ground rapidly widened, and a second, larger black egg slowly rose. This egg's surface lacked blood-red lines, but instead was covered in eye-shaped patterns. Each "eye" shifted constantly, peering at everyone present.
The most terrifying thing was that a familiar figure was clearly reflected on the eggshell—the Holy Emperor Tianyi! He knelt on the ground, sacrificing his soul to the being within the egg.
"This is the real fifth supreme container." Xu Xian murmured.
Qin Wang made a quick decision: "Brother, Xingjun, evacuate everyone immediately! This is no longer a battle you can participate in!"
Just as the God of Literature was about to say something, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless black vines shot out like giant pythons. Xu Xian swung his sword and cut off several, only to find that these vines were several times tougher than those he had encountered before! (End of Chapter)
