Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

The core quiet room of the Ziting No. 79 cave.

"With one burst of energy, I can strike like a tiger. Since the 'Record of the Origin of Ten Thousand Spirits' is of such great help to me, I might as well try to comprehend the laws of chaos." Xu Yang sat down cross-legged, trying to grasp the source of life. At this moment of inspiration, a treasure immediately appeared in front of him - the Chaos Evolution Dao Stele.

“Life and destruction are two extremes.” Xu Yang’s left eye was emerald green like spring, and his right eye was pitch black like night. “I have already entered the basics of the ‘Records of the Origin of All Spirits’, and I have been studying the Law of Destruction for a long time. Now… it’s time.”

He pressed his hands down, and the Chaos Evolutionary Dao Stele trembled and grew larger. The seemingly chaotic patterns on the stele now appeared to Xu Yang as if they were living things, with each pattern representing a possible evolution of a chaotic law.

Time seemed to be stretched out into thick honey.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged in front of the Chaos Dao Stele, his breathing gradually synchronizing with the patterns flowing on the stele's surface.

Those lines and patterns, at this moment, are like spider silk bent by the morning dew, swaying gently in the breeze of consciousness, shaking off countless fragments of laws.

"It turns out that chaos was not a stagnant pool after all..."

Xu Yang lost track of time, so engrossed in his meditation that he forgot about everything. The Chaos Dao Evolution Stele seemed to have become somewhat illusory, as if a hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye…

Xu Yang shakily extended his fingertip and lightly touched a spot on the monument.

In an instant, the entire stone tablet seemed to come alive, and the patterns scattered like a school of startled fish, only to regroup in the distance.

In Xu Yang's eyes... three completely different trajectories gradually became clear.

The patterns on the far left gently intertwine, like vines sprouting in spring, with each turn giving birth to new life.

The patterns on the right side are sharp and violent, like thunder tearing through the night sky, each sharp point containing destruction.

The most wondrous pattern is in the center, resembling two swimming fish chasing each other, weaving life and destruction into a perfect balance.

Xu Yang's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw a small flower bloom on the vine's veins, then turn to ashes in the thunder, and finally be reborn under the harmony of the central veins—this subtle cycle is the true essence of chaos.

The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.

Xu Yang took a deep breath, and the Chaos Dao Evolution Stele in front of him suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sound, as if the strings of a zither that had been dormant for ten thousand years were being plucked anew.

Ripples spread across the surface of the monument, and wisps of chaotic mist rose up, condensing into glistening dewdrops in the air.

These dewdrops refract seven colors of light, each one reflecting a different universe's birth and death.

"Chaos Dew?"

Xu Yang recalled the records from when he purchased the Chaos Dao Evolution Stele, knowing that it was because the stele was about to lose its effectiveness. The restrictions set by the refiner would unleash all its remaining power at the last moment to give the comprehender a final boost.

He tilted his head back, letting the dewdrops fall onto his brow.

The moment the cool touch seeped into my skin, it felt as if a thousand stars lit up within me. My bones crackled like bamboo shoots sprouting, and golden, vine-like patterns appeared. Tiny lightning snakes swam in my blood, and each heartbeat stirred up purple electric sparks.

The most wondrous change occurred in the heart of the true god, where the once calm ocean of divine power suddenly surged with huge waves, and a half-blue, half-purple crystalline core phantom rose from the crest of the wave.

As the crystal core rotates, emerald-like buds sprout from the left side, while jet-black thorns spread from the right. Two completely different forces form a perfect yin-yang pattern on the surface of the crystal core.

"Chaos, evolution!"

With this soft shout, an even more terrifying wave surged within the heart of the true god.

The imagined excruciating pain did not come; instead, an indescribable comfort arose, like a fledgling bird spreading its wings for the first time, and a new world was being built within its body—the chaotic space of the beginning of chaos took shape here.

Various laws revolve within this space, and each collision of elements sparks new insights into these laws.

Xu Yang saw stars born from chaos, returning to nothingness in their splendor, and at the end of all this cycle, a two-colored star floated, like a lighthouse guarding the universe.

Rumble~~~
His physical body began to expand uncontrollably. Despite the powerful spatial suppression of the Origin Continent, it instantly grew from its normal size to a height of one million kilometers and continued to expand.

If the quiet room weren't a specially constructed space within the Chaotic Ruins, this would have caused some problems for the entire cave dwelling.

And this is just the beginning.

……

At the same time, Xu Yang's miniature universe, far away in the cosmic sea, suddenly trembled.

This enormous universe, with a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, suddenly trembled violently, and the cosmic membrane expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

110 billion light-years, 130 billion light-years, 150 billion light-years... and the expansion speed is getting faster and faster!

Within the universe, countless galaxies move and recombine, and the already exquisite cosmic structure is now further optimized under the driving force of its origin.

Every star is becoming hotter, every nebula contains more concentrated energy, and the energy level of the entire universe is constantly rising!
"what happened?"

"The universe is expanding!"

"Is the Overlord about to break through?"

Xu Yang's family, disciples, and powerful subordinates were all shocked by this cosmic upheaval.

Especially those beings at the true god level can more clearly perceive the joy and sublimation emanating from the origin of the universe.

……

The Primal Universe, Headquarters of the Celestial Demon Virtual Universe Company.

Mengcha was presiding over the meeting of the Universal Venerables when she suddenly stood up, her gilded robes fluttering without wind: "The origin of the universe is shaking!" Through the palace dome, she seemed to see the trajectory of countless galaxies changing, as if the entire starry sky was bowing in worship in a certain direction.

“It’s my husband’s miniature universe!” Mengcha’s fingertips trembled slightly, and the teacup fell to the ground, splashing up sparkling water.

Disregarding her composure, she instantly teleported to the control room. When the monitoring screen unfolded, this true god-level powerhouse was dumbfounded—the celestial body on the light screen, which was expanding wildly, had already exceeded the entire observation field of view.

……

Deep in the cosmic ocean, in a perilous place, Cangya is exploring a secret realm.

The communication token hanging from his waist suddenly burst forth with a blinding light, and the patterns on the token began to move as if they were alive.

"Master has broken through again?!" This usually composed disciple exclaimed in surprise.

Even though they were separated by a great distance, the distant starry sky suddenly became as bright as day—a dazzling light he had never seen before, as if a newborn sun was rising at the edge of the universe.

……

Yu Ji is currently in seclusion within Xu Yang's miniature universe.

When she was awakened by the joyful roar of the universe's origin, the entire meditation chamber was already enveloped in a seven-colored glow. She pushed open the window and saw countless galaxies reorganizing on their own, and nebulae coalescing into enormous patterns. What shocked her most was that the edge of the universe was pushing outward at a visible speed, with new stars being born every second.

“Father…” Yu Ji’s eyes welled up with tears.

She recalled the nights when her father took her to see the starry sky when she was a child, and how he said that one day he would let his own star illuminate the entire universe.

And she hadn't really seen her father in a long time...

I really look forward to seeing my father again.

……

Five years is but a fleeting moment on a cosmic scale.

When Xu Yang's miniature universe finally stabilized at a diameter of trillions of light-years, the entire primordial universe fell silent.

Throughout the cosmic sea, countless powerful beings gazed up at this suddenly appearing "second primordial universe".

Its oppressive aura calmed even the most turbulent chaotic currents, and those perilous places that had once caused the fall of true gods were like docile sheep before it.

There was a true god from the first cosmic era kneeling in the void, trembling as he stretched out his hand in disbelief.

……

Originating on the continent, within the Purple Thunder Cave.

Xu Yang's breakthrough has reached its most critical moment.

Every inch of flesh and blood within the body flows with chaotic energy, where the two diametrically opposed primal energies of life and destruction merge to form a unique "chaotic life" characteristic.

"Chaotic Space, complete!"

With a low shout from Xu Yang, the transformation within the Heart of the True God was finally completed.

A vast chaotic space has been firmly formed, its breadth far exceeding that of an ordinary chaotic master in its early stages, and even comparable to that of some senior chaotic masters!
Most peculiarly, in the center of this chaotic space, a strange sapling, seemingly both real and ethereal, was slowly growing. One half of the sapling was emerald green, exuding a rich life force, while the other half was pitch black, swirling with destructive energy. These two opposing forces achieved a delicate balance on the sapling, as if expounding some supreme truth.

“Life is yang, destruction is yin; yin and yang alternate, and chaos is formed.” Xu Yang had a sudden inspiration, as if he had understood the path of his future.

On the Origin Continent, breakthroughs do not necessarily cause a huge commotion. If enough is accumulated and the miniature universe is large enough, it is entirely possible to break through to the Chaos Realm silently, completing the transformation solely through the remote energy supply from the Heart of the True God.

but……

His clone was originally meant to be made public, to be brought into the open to show off and establish his own power!

Therefore, there is no need to keep a low profile.

"If we're going to stand out, then let the entire Thunder City and even the Origin Continent remember this day."

Xu Yang's lips curled up slightly, and then—

"boom!!!"

A vast and boundless aura of chaotic dominance erupted from his body like a raging tide.

In an instant, the entire Purple Thunder Cave No. 79 trembled violently, the cave's restrictions collapsed instantly, and countless runes vanished.

And this is just the beginning!
……

Above Thunder City.

The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy!
Dark clouds gathered out of thin air, like a raging sea, obscuring the sun!
"Rumble--"

Thunder roared, and lightning bolts, like dragons, tore through the sky!

All the cultivators in the city, whether they were Eternal True Gods, Void True Gods, or even the weaker True Gods, looked up in shock.

"what happened?!"

"An anomaly in the heavens?!"

"No...no! Someone is breaking through!"

"A breakthrough?! What kind of breakthrough could trigger such a terrifying phenomenon in the heavens and earth?!"

……

Thunder Chamber of Commerce Branch.

President Lei Ze was dealing with chamber of commerce affairs when suddenly he looked up sharply, his pupils shrinking!

"The aura of the Chaos Ruler?!"

He rushed out of the president's office in an instant, looked up at the sky, and saw dark clouds pressing down on the city, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and an immense pressure was rising from the direction of the Purple Thunder Cave!

"It's...it's him?!"

Lei Ze stood atop the Chamber of Commerce tower, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

"The Chaos Overlord... he actually broke through!"

A storm raged in his heart, followed by endless fear.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness I didn't make a move!"

Lei Ze recalled his past covetousness of "Gu You" and even had a fleeting thought of killing someone to steal the treasure. At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"To be able to break through to the Chaos Ruler realm so easily, and even dare to trigger such a terrifying celestial phenomenon... he is very likely a reincarnation of a powerful being!"

"Moreover, he's probably not just an ordinary reincarnation of a Chaos Ruler..."

Thinking of this, Lei Ze felt a sense of relief at surviving a disaster!

"Luckily, I'm always very cautious and didn't act rashly, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Gu You wouldn't dare to attack the Thunder Merchant Guild, but dealing with him wouldn't be difficult... The wrath of a Chaos Ruler would be enough to make him lose sleep and appetite, and in the end, he would probably only have the option of scurrying back to his family to avoid disaster.

……

Mother River of Life Branch.

The Azure-Eyed Venerable was meditating when suddenly he opened his eyes and flashed into the sky above the Emerald Forest.

"The Lord of Chaos?!"

He stared intently in the direction of the Purple Thunder Cave, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

"How long has it been?! He actually succeeded?!"

But the next moment.

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure-Eyed Venerable!
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! Okay!"

He was overjoyed and almost laughed out loud!
"A copy of the first volume of a God King's inheritance in exchange for the friendship of a Chaos Ruler! This deal is absolutely amazing!"

The Azure-Eyed Venerable was incredibly grateful for his decision back then!

He originally only valued "Gu You's" life talent and wanted to recruit a potential seed for the Mother River of Life, but he did not expect that the other party would break through to the Chaos Ruler in a short period of time.

"Such a breakthrough speed, such power... he is definitely not just an ordinary genius!"

"He is either a super genius, or the reincarnation of some ancient being, or even a backup plan for the resurrection of a fallen god-king."

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Azure-Eyed Venerable.

"We must report this to the ancestral court immediately!"

"A newly appointed ruler of chaos is worth far more than imagined."

"He must be firmly bound to my lifeline..."

The Azure-Eyed Venerable was burning with excitement, as if he could already see the immense merit he would gain from this matter!

……

The City Lord's Mansion, the Thunder God.

The Thunder God stood above the City Lord's Mansion, his expression extremely solemn.

"A Chaos Sovereign has actually broken through in my Thunder City..."

His gaze was deep, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Thunder City, as a key border town, is a complex web of power dynamics. It appears to be jointly controlled by the city lord and branches of several super powers, but in reality, it is all the work of the Chaos Ruler behind the scenes, and they are merely his proxies.

But now, the birth of a new ruler of chaos will inevitably disrupt the existing balance.

“However… this may not be a bad thing.” Thunder Punishment God Lord, unaware that Xu Yang had joined the River of Life, had a glint in his eyes. “If we can bring him into our camp, we might be able to use him to suppress the other major forces… that would be a great achievement. We must report to the Marquis immediately.”

……

At this moment, countless powerful figures throughout Thunder City stared in shock at the sky!

Dark clouds rolled in, and thunder roared!
And amidst the endless lightning, a figure slowly rose—

He stood in the void, surrounded by chaotic energy, which intertwined to form a mysterious and unpredictable chaotic scroll.

His aura was vast and unfathomable!

His aura suppressed all ages and reigned supreme over the world!

"Today, I, Gu You—"

"Enter the Chaos Realm!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Thunder City!
Countless cultivators trembled in their hearts and involuntarily lowered their heads!
This is respect for the strong!

This is submission to the Lord of Chaos! (End of Chapter)
