Alert! The Dragon Lord has emerged from seclusion!

"Using my primordial chaos as fuel—"

An unprecedented burst of chaotic flames erupted from his body!

The light was no longer gray and white, but presented a chaotic color that encompassed all things, in which the illusions of the birth of stars, the growth of plants, and the rise and fall of civilizations could be vaguely seen!

"Light the Seven Star Soul Lamps and reverse the Return to Nothingness Formation!"

"Save those I love, and punish those I hate!"

"This technique is called—"

A dazzling divine light erupted from Lin Chen's eyes as he locked onto the energy connection trajectory between the seven soul lamps on the altar and the central disc:

"Chaos - Defying Fate!"

Boom! ...

The entire ninth floor of the Heavenly Evolution Tower shook violently!

"Chaos - Defying Fate!"

Lin Chen's voice resounded throughout the ninth level of space.

Each syllable seemed to strike the very bones of the world, causing the altar's light to flicker.

Even the ever-present, gentle mask on Jiang Wuyai's face finally cracked open.

"Are you insane?!" Jiang Wuyai lost his composure for the first time, his voice rising in disbelief and fury. "A ritual to reverse the chaos's origin?"

"Your foundation will be completely destroyed, and your soul will be scattered!"

"Then let's disperse." Lin Chen looked up amidst the flames, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his smile was clean and open. "It's better than becoming you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chaotic flames erupting from his body were no longer simply an outward release of energy, but transformed into a substantial, flowing "Dao".

In the hazy flames, one can vaguely see stars being born and dying, plants withering and flourishing in cycles, and oceans turning into mulberry fields.

This is not a flame of destruction, but "chaos itself," which encompasses all things and bears birth and death.

The flames shot up into the sky like a waterfall flowing backwards.

It wasn't an attack on Jiang Wuyai, but rather a precise lunge at the seven soul lamps on the altar.

And between the Soul Lamp and the central disc, there are countless invisible "lines of rules" that are truly detached from the origin.

Chi Chi Chi -!

The moment the chaotic flames touched those invisible threads, they emitted a teeth-grinding burning sound.

It's not combustion at the physical level, but rather "overwriting" and "rewriting" at the rule level.

The silver flame soul lamp representing Luo Yunyi was already as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

Enveloped by the chaotic light and flames, the silver flames trembled violently and stopped dimming. Instead, as if infused with a warm vitality, the flames stabilized slightly.

Among the remaining six soul lamps, the phantom images of Su Qingxue and the other six people trembled simultaneously.

The primordial energy that was being slowly drawn away seemed to encounter an invisible dam and flowed back!

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Wuyai's face turned completely gloomy.

He was no longer as composed as before; his white robes billowed, and he unleashed the terrifying pressure of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator without reservation!

The entire ninth floor of the Heavenly Evolution Tower groaned in agony, the space creaked under the strain, and the golden light around the altar was squeezed and distorted.

He raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide, aimed at Lin Chen's location, and then clenched his fist tightly!

"Tianyan Town!"

Words become law!

The space around Lin Chen instantly froze, as if he had been poured into ancient ice, and even his thoughts were frozen.

The surging chaotic flames seemed to have been paused, frozen in mid-air.

"Chen'er, I gave you a chance." Jiang Wuyai took a step forward and was already in front of Lin Chen, looking at his son's pale face in the flames with complicated emotions.

"What's wrong with merging with the new Heavenly Dao and surpassing all living beings? Why choose this dead end?"

Lin Chen's body was firmly locked by the laws of space, unable even to move his eyeballs, but his will, through the Chaos Nascent Soul, transformed into a clear thought, and fiercely crashed into Jiang Wuyai's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Because in your eyes, they are 'firewood,' 'sacrifices,' tools to achieve your goals!"

"But in my eyes, they are Su Qingxue, Ye Qingcheng, living, breathing people! They are comrades-in-arms! They are the...family I want to protect!"

"You have no idea what a 'human being' is!"

The final thought exploded like a thunderclap.

At the same time, within Lin Chen's body, the chaotic seed that was intertwined with his life had a tiny crack quietly appearing on its surface.

It's not broken, but... sprouting.

A ray of light, indescribable in color and more primordial than chaos itself, shone through the crack.

The light was faint, yet it carried a kind of primordial arrogance, instantly breaking through Jiang Wuyai's spatial suppression!

"What?!" Jiang Wuyai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

In that instant of relaxation—

"Lin Chen!"

"Brother Lin!"

Two sharp shouts rang out at the same time!

Su Qingxue and Ye Qingcheng, who had been subtly suppressed by Jiang Wuyai's aura and unable to move, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and made a fierce move!

Su Qingxue's icy blue eyes were filled with extreme coldness. She actually turned around and plunged the Xuanbing Longsword into the still unhealed wound on her left shoulder!

The excruciating pain caused her to groan softly, her face turning deathly pale.

But the gushing blood did not drip down. Instead, with her exquisite control, she mixed it with the gushing out of Xuan Yin essence, transforming it into a stunningly beautiful blood-red ice rainbow that shot straight into Jiang Wuyai's back!

"Mysterious Yin Forbidden Technique - Blood Soul Ice Soul!"

This attack consumed her life essence and a portion of her divine soul!

Its power instantly bridged the enormous gap between the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation stages, freezing even the space itself with fine black cracks wherever it passed!

Ye Qingcheng moved even faster.

She didn't bother to pick up the Frost Soul Sword in the distance. Instead, she lunged forward, her right fist clenched tightly. The energy condensed on her fist was not frost, but rather the strange color of dark red and ice blue intertwined with the "Killing Heart" crystal energy she had just absorbed.

She didn't call out the name of the move; all her anger, resentment, and killing intent were concentrated in this silent punch, which slammed into Jiang Wuyai's side!

To relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao! To attack what the enemy must defend!

Jiang Wuyai, being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, remained calm despite his surprise.

Facing attacks from both sides, he snorted coldly, his figure blurring like a ghost.

Su Qingxue's crimson ice rainbow pierced through his afterimage, completely shattering the solidified space behind him and turning it into nothingness.

Ye Qingcheng's fist missed its mark. The terrifying force of the punch slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater. Dark red and icy blue energy raged, eroding the base of the altar.

But their attacks ultimately bought Lin Chen the most crucial moment!

"Now!"

The chaotic light in Lin Chen's eyes surged.

He no longer tried to cover all the soul lamps with the chaotic flames, but instead concentrated all his power and transformed it into a gray, formless and intangible "Dao Sword" that seemed to be able to sever cause and effect. He then fiercely slashed at the thickest and most core line of rules connecting Luo Yunyi's soul lamp!

A sound like shattering glass resounded deep within everyone's soul.

That invisible thread has broken.

"Pfft!" Jiang Wuyai's body trembled, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth—it was the backlash he suffered from the damage to the core of the altar array, which was closely connected to his mind.
