Fighting the Masked Man

Despite the undercurrents in the outside world, they did not affect Yao Yan's main body in the slightest. He remained seated in the core space of the Eternal Tower, his body like a black hole, with surging chaotic energy constantly churning and devouring the immortal origin of this place. The vast purple-gold mist transformed into a torrent that continuously poured into his body, nourishing the growth of the chaotic body.

As Yao Yan's strength gradually increases, every bit of growth in his Chaotic Body requires a massive amount of resources to build up, and the immortal essence accumulated by the Eternal Tower over tens of thousands of years can provide him with a feast.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

As the last wisp of immortal essence in the Eternal Tower disappeared, Yao Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged for months, slowly opened his eyes. A chaotic light was faintly visible deep within his dark pupils. After a moment, he returned to calm, and his aura became even more unfathomable, as if he were outside of this space-time, like a true god walking in the world.

"It's made up for the missing piece of time... It's passable." He closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his own chaotic body, thinking to himself.

Despite inheriting the Eternal Immortal Body, Yao Yan's strength did not undergo any qualitative change. It could only be considered as making up for some of the defects of the Chaos Body, making it more perfect and getting closer and closer to the Innate Chaos Body.

According to Yao Yan's estimation, he would need to devour all five original Dharma bodies to allow his Chaos Body to advance further, complete the transformation from innate to primordial state, and enter the perfect level.

Only then could Yao Yan be fearless of the tribulations of the Great Thousand Worlds, qualified to forcibly seize the origin of the Great Thousand Worlds, and become the only supreme god of this world.

This is also the path he will take in the future.

"The lord's physique seems to be extremely special, possessing chaotic attributes and capable of compatibility with all powers!" The spirit of the Eternal Tower appeared, a blurry, aged figure, somewhat similar to the Immortal Emperor recorded in the Great Thousand Palace, but lacking that invincible aura.

Clearly, the spirit of the Eternal Tower evolved from the Immortal Emperor.

"This is the path I've taken, and I've completed more than half of it. Next, I will gradually merge with the other three original Dharma bodies and take that final step!" Yao Yan nodded and explained.

Does it merge with the five primordial Dharma bodies?!

The spirit's aged face was slightly moved, and after a moment, it couldn't help but sigh, "Your talent and wisdom are unparalleled, a rare sight throughout the ages. It is truly a blessing for the entire world to have someone like you to protect it!"

Is this the good fortune of the world?!
Yao Yan chuckled inwardly. He knew that his anomaly was not a blessing for the Great Thousand World, at least not in terms of the will of the Great Thousand World. But for all the beings in the Great Thousand World, his existence was the key to unlocking the outer sea of ​​the realm. In the future, the beings of this world would follow him to see a wider world.

Whether you're lucky or not depends largely on who you're dealing with.

"Your mission is over. Are you willing to leave with me now?" Yao Yan was silent for a moment before asking. Now that the Heavenly Court is being rebuilt from ruins, the Eternal Tower, which possesses the laws of time, can be refined into a peerless artifact for nurturing future generations.

"We are willing to serve you as our master!" the spirit of the Eternal Tower said respectfully upon hearing this.

……

"Buzz!"

As the Eternal Tower trembled, Qin Tian and the other guards outside opened their eyes one after another. Under their gaze, chaotic halos emerged around the Eternal Tower, imprinting themselves on it. After a moment, the Eternal Tower began to shrink under the restraint of the chaotic halos, until it transformed into a small black tower, suspended in the palm of a figure.

Yao Yan stood in the void, his figure tall and slender, his clothes swaying in the wind. His handsome face carried an indescribable aura, giving people a silent sense of oppression. Even though he did not release any aura, the old ancestor of Maha and others still felt their hearts sink, as if they could not even bear his gaze.

The Heavenly Emperor has become even stronger!

The old ancestor of the Mahayana trembled slightly. Even though he was unwilling to believe it, the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to have some doubts. For a moment, he felt a sense of despair, which was also somewhat overwhelming. Did the ancient Mahayana clan really have to bow down to the Heavenly Emperor and forever look up to him?

"Heavenly Emperor, congratulations!" Qin Tian said with a smile when he saw this.

Yao Yan looked at Qin Tian, ​​nodded slightly, and smiled in return. He was indeed in a good mood at the moment. Then he looked at the silent Old Ancestor Maha and gave him a deep look, which made the other man tense up.

However, he didn't say anything, only gave Qin Tian a threatening look, and then looked at Qin Tian again, and chuckled: "Having just refined the Eternal Immortal Body, I plan to return to the Heavenly Court for a period of seclusion to perfectly integrate the power of the Endless Light Body and the Eternal Immortal Body into my body. In that case, it should be enough to leave my name on the Heavenly Ranking!"

"Alright, then I'll wait for the Heavenly Emperor's good news!" Qin Tian nodded in response.

Yao Yan transformed into a beam of chaotic light and disappeared from the spot, without even greeting the Maha Ancestor. His attitude towards the Maha Ancient Clan was obvious.

Qin Tian was helpless about this. The relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the Maha Ancient Clan was indeed extremely bad. It was already very kind of him not to take action against them. As for giving them any pleasantries, that was obviously impossible. However, as the honorary elder of the Great Thousand Palace, he could not ignore the feelings of the Maha Ancestor and others.

"Now that things are over, I'll take my leave!" He politely bowed to the old master and the others, and then his spirit disappeared from the spot.

With a grim expression, the Maha Ancestor watched the two depart one after another. For a moment, the words of the Underworld Lord kept echoing in his ears. Was this really the only way for the Maha Ancient Clan? This was definitely not what he wanted to see, but surrendering to the evil races outside the realm was obviously a dead end, unless the Underworld Lord and the Heavenly Emperor were both severely injured, or even perished together!
No, there's a third way!
Suddenly, the Maha Patriarch thought of the Heavenly Evil God. If he were released, could it change the current situation? The Underworld Lord had become the new evil god of the extraterrestrial evil race. Would the Heavenly Evil God, who had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, be willing to do so?
“Not necessarily!” the old master Maha murmured, a cold glint in his eyes.

Since the Heavenly Emperor claims to be righteous, why can't he sacrifice himself like the Immortal Emperor of the past, and seal away the Heavenly Evil God again, or even seal away the Evil Emperor as well? Then all the problems would be completely solved.

……

……

Yao Yan naturally had no idea what the Maha Patriarch was thinking. If he did, he would probably laugh out loud. The Heavenly Emperor prided himself on being righteous, but what did that have to do with Yao Yan? Could a righteous identity really bind him? In the entire Great Thousand World, there were only a handful of people he cared about.

"I didn't expect you to actually succeed." Luo Shen's voice rang in Yao Yan's ears, her tone filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that someone could simultaneously possess two primordial Dharma bodies? It was simply too insane, yet Yao Yan had done it and succeeded.

If the Immortal Emperor had been able to take that step back then, perhaps he wouldn't have been forced to sacrifice himself.

"This is just the first step. My goal is to unify the five original Dharma bodies. It's a pity that the other five were destroyed by the Heavenly Evil God back then. Otherwise, if I could unify the ten original Dharma bodies, my path would be even more perfect," Yao Yan said with some dissatisfaction.

Having absorbed the essence of the two primordial Dharma Bodies, he could clearly feel the nourishment the primordial Dharma Bodies provided to the Chaos Body. It was a replenishment of his innate essence, perfectly aligned with his path.

Luo Shen remained silent; sometimes, she couldn't help but marvel at Yao Yan's madness and greed.

“You should be able to obtain the Supreme Spirit Body, but the Primal Dharma Bodies controlled by the other two races will be more difficult. They have already rejected you twice.” She pondered for a moment, then tentatively inquired, wanting to see what Yao Yan planned to do next. “Cutting off someone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents, and obstructing someone’s future is even worse… I’ve given them a chance!” Yao Yan’s dark eyes were calm as water as he spoke in a low voice.

Luo Shen frowned, wanting to persuade him, but ultimately gave up the idea. She had known Yao Yan for quite some time and had a general understanding of his temperament. He was usually very easy to talk to and didn't have any airs of superiority.

But once their own interests are involved, they become like a completely different person.

But aren't all people like that? Those who can give up their own interests to benefit others are saints.

"Aren't you worried about making too much noise?" Luo Shen reminded her. She had a general understanding of Yao Yan's plan. If the other party really intended to devour the will of the Great Thousand World, the glorious image of the Heavenly Emperor's identity must not be broken. Only in this way could he gather people's hearts and gather the fortune of the entire Great Thousand World into himself.

This is similar to the method used in lower planes to obtain the embryo of a plane, and it can influence the rejection of Yaoyan by the vast world.

"You'll know in time," Yao Yan said calmly. He hadn't told many people about the Underworld Lord.

Does he have other tricks up his sleeve?!

Luo Shen was slightly startled. She thought she knew him well enough, but now it seemed that Yao Yan was still hiding many secrets. She suspected that Yao Yan's wives were completely unaware of these things.

……

With one foot already in the realm of gods, Yao Yan's speed has reached an unbelievable level. Spatial distance has become meaningless to him. In the blink of an eye, he traversed half of the Great Thousand Worlds and returned to the Tianluo Continent.

The Tianluo Continent is now more prosperous than it once was, with a large number of young talents flocking to it, attempting to join the Heavenly Court.

However, these matters were obviously none of Yao Yan's concern. After returning to the Heavenly Court, he went to see Yun Yun. Compared to several months ago, Yun Yun's lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and one could clearly feel the small life growing inside.

Nalan Yanran was taking care of her master on the side. Since learning that Yun Yun was pregnant with the Heavenly Emperor's child, she had temporarily stopped cultivating and served as Yun Yun's maid.

"Heavenly Emperor!" Nalan Yanran was stunned when she saw Yao Yan suddenly appear. She then stood up and bowed respectfully.

“We’re all family, no need for such formalities.” Yao Yan raised his hand to stop Nalan Yanran, then strode over to Yun Yun’s side, embraced Yun Yun, who also had a happy look in her eyes, gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, and showed a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He valued his first child immensely, as it was the continuation of his bloodline.

"Was the trip smooth?" Yun Yun asked softly, her gentle eyes fixed on Yao Yan. Several months ago, the incident involving the Sky Ranking had caused quite a stir, and she naturally knew about what Yao Yan had encountered on the Holy Abyss Continent.

"It went fairly smoothly... I was quite lucky. When I was dealing with those Heavenly Evil Emperors from the extraterrestrial evil race, I managed to snatch some medicinal herbs from them, which barely enough materials for alchemy." Yao Yan nodded slightly and chuckled.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yun Yun's gaze softened, and her eyes shone with a maternal glow.

"This is nothing, it's just dealing with some rats in the street, and it's all for the sake of the child," Yao Yan said with a gentle chuckle, stroking Yun Yun's belly.

Yun Yun silently rested her head on Yao Yan's shoulder, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the moment. She had never been the kind of woman who asked for much, and this was even more true now. She only wished that Yao Yan and the child would be safe and sound, and that would be enough.

She didn't care about the Heavenly Emperor or the Empress.

While accompanying Yun Yun, Yao Yan did not forget his mission. With a thought, his black-robed Origin Disappearance clone disappeared from his body, taking the rare and precious materials obtained from the Evil Emperor to the Chaos Realm to refine the Primordial Pill.

This pill, when fully refined, is of extremely high quality, ranking among the highest-grade Saint-level pills, representing the pinnacle of alchemy in the vast world.

Now, with the addition of Yao Yan, a divine-level alchemist, personally taking action, the efficacy of the Primordial Pill can be elevated to another level.

After leaving Yun Yun's side, Yao Yan went to the Chaos Realm.

At this moment, the black-robed clone had completed the tempering process, condensing tens of thousands of spiritual herbs into a glassy ball the size of a human head. It emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, with destructive and creative forces constantly intertwining within it, seemingly about to explode completely at any moment.

Yao Yan took over the alchemy work from his clone. Looking at the luminous ball of light in front of him, he calculated the possibility of the innate chaotic body. However, he gave up after only a moment because the mother body was too fragile. If he forcibly nurtured the innate chaotic body, it would inevitably harm Yun Yun.

Even so, the possibility of giving birth to a primordial chaotic body is almost zero.

The laws of the Great Thousand World are different from those of places like Shrouding the Heavens. The innate chaotic bodies in this world are more like innate chaotic holy spirits, beings at the innate god level. Such beings are born with the power to control the laws of chaos, and once conceived and born, they will inevitably attract the destruction of heavenly tribulations, just like the predecessor of the original Dharma body, which is intolerable to heaven and earth.

Among Yao Yan's many female confidantes, perhaps only Qing Yanjing is qualified to give birth to a primordial chaotic body.

On the one hand, she is capable enough.

On the other hand, there is the blessing of good fortune.

Think of this.

Yao Yan shook his head. He felt he was overthinking things. He himself hadn't even condensed a Primordial Chaos Body yet, so how could his child with Yun Yun possibly reach that level? There was no point in considering these things now.

What he needs to consider now is to improve the talent of the fetus in Yun Yun's womb as much as possible, taking it one step at a time.

As for the path of the innate chaotic body.

Once he, as a father, completes that step, why would he worry about his child not being able to move forward?!

In the fantasy world, all problems stem from insufficient personal strength. When one's strength reaches a higher level, what does the so-called innate chaotic body matter? (End of Chapter)
