Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 507 God of Chaos
Inside the Hall of the King of Hell.

Seeing that Ren Yuan had single-handedly defeated all five of his subordinates, the Ghost King's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, I've lost big time! Is this kid serious?"

"You didn't tell them it was a fake visit!" The tabby cat squatted on the imperial desk, looking sternly at the real-time image reflected in the bronze mirror.

"Besides, this doesn't seem like a fake trip; you've mobilized the entire force!"

"Do you think I wanted this? Otherwise, how could he create miracles?" the Ghost King said irritably. "If releasing water could create gods, the world would be overflowing with gods by now!"

"Alright, but you don't have to send Wu Xie to guard the last checkpoint," the tabby cat said helplessly. "He's an ancient demon who's been around for a thousand years; he's a proper god!"

"How can my mighty Hell be without a god to guard it?" The Ghost King said coldly, "If you don't want Him to take action, then I will do it myself."

"Alright, alright, I think this arrangement is fine." The tabby cat immediately lost its temper and asked, "By the way, can you help me see if my apprentice is dead or alive?"

"Does it matter if I'm alive or dead? It's all the same if I fall into Wu Xie's hands anyway," the Ghost King said calmly.

"That means he's still alive." The tabby cat, though devoid of magic, still possessed a mind of its own and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"That's fine, that's fine..."

"What, you still have hope for him?" the Ghost King sneered.

"Sigh, maybe a miracle will happen." The tabby cat sighed.

"Then let's wait and see." The Ghost King, who had been planning to end the live stream, continued watching after hearing this.

In the ruins of hell.

After Wu Xie finished speaking, seeing no reaction from Ren Yuan, he waved his hand and pulled him up from the ground. He examined Ren Yuan's miserable state and saw that his divine fire had been extinguished and he was on the verge of death.

"Tsk tsk, this is the result of someone who isn't a god forcibly using the power of a god." Wu Xie shook his head, losing interest in the seriously injured and unconscious boy.

“You have utterly destroyed Lord Ghost King’s hell. Killing you alone will certainly not be enough to quell His wrath.” Wu Xie sighed, then suddenly laughed hysterically, “Then let’s cut off your limbs, gouge out your eyes, put you in a jar and turn you into a human pig to be handed over to the King!”

As He spoke, He extended His pale, slender index finger and ran His scarlet, sharp nail across Ren Yuan's shoulder. Unexpectedly, amidst the sparks, the incomparably sharp nail shattered with a crash, and purplish-black divine blood dripped down from the break, corroding the ground and creating huge pits.

Wu Xie stared in disbelief at his mangled fingertips. His claws were deadly weapons, capable of severing even divine bodies; how could they have broken off on a mere demigod?

He looked at Ren Yuan in shock and suddenly noticed a mysterious luster flowing beneath the fragments of scales covering his body.

Wu Xie hurriedly reached out and brushed away the fragments of scale armor on Ren Yuan's body, his pupils suddenly contracting and his breathing becoming rapid—beneath the fragments lay a brand-new suit of armor. Dark gold patterns flowed like an inverted galaxy, each line containing the Daoist essence of creation!

"Chaos Divine Armor?!" Wu Xie's roar was a mixture of shock and jealousy.

Divine armor is the armor of the gods, but not all gods have divine armor; for example, the god of death does not.

But the divine armor actually appeared on this demigod, and it was a chaotic divine armor born before the beginning of heaven and earth. How could He not be envious, jealous and hateful?

Wu Xie stared wide-eyed, greedily fixed on Ren Yuan's body. The magnificent and imposing armor clung tightly to his form, appearing more like an extension of his body than a suit of armor. Upon closer inspection, one could see scenes of the primordial chaos etched upon the armor, sometimes transforming into countless stars born from the void, sometimes coalescing into the phantom of an ancient behemoth roaring to the heavens, each transformation accompanied by a tremor of spacetime.

With a loud bang, Wu Xie was forcefully thrown away from Ren Yuan. He quickly steadied himself and looked up, only to see a pair of enormous, translucent chaotic wings sprouting from Ren Yuan's back. The surface of the wings shimmered with iridescent light, as dazzling as the aurora borealis.

When its wings are spread, the heavens and earth tremble, and its majestic and sacred aura compels people to bow down in worship.

Ren Yuan now has a floating ring behind his head, in which stars are born and die, and yin and yang rotate, which has become a manifestation of his divine nature.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Wu Xie staggered backward, looking at Ren Yuan who was surrounded by powerful divine light, and finally understood why he had divine armor.

Because He has become a god—

Within this seemingly broken body, boundless and surging divine power was surging.

That divine power came from the miracle of destroying the eighteen levels of hell.

Yes, when Ren Yuan used that move 'Big Bang' to completely destroy Hell and instantly kill the four demigods, a miracle was achieved!
"No, I won't allow it!" Wu Xie had toiled for hundreds of years to become a god by helping Wu Xian establish the Underworld. Now this kid actually became a god by destroying his own miracle, and even condensed divine armor—Chaos Divine Armor at that!

Why is he so lucky? Why should I be his stepping stone?!

Jealousy had distorted Him beyond recognition, and He had lost all reason! He was determined to destroy this rising star before Ren Yuan woke up, and He was determined not to let Ren Yuan make Him look like a pathetic wretch!

"go to hell!"

Wu Xie was now completely consumed by murderous intent. The black mist surrounding him surged like boiling asphalt, the final substance formed from the condensation of all deaths over the past few centuries, the ultimate destination for all living beings, including gods.

He condensed the essence of the end into a black spear that could slay immortals and destroy gods, and thrust it toward the unconscious Ren Yuan.

"I'll make you the shortest-lived god!"

However, when that pure death condensed into a spear and pierced three feet in front of Ren Yuan, the Chaos Divine Armor suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The starry river patterns flowing on the surface of the armor, like an awakened dragon, automatically wove into a golden shield, blocking Wu Xie's full-force attack.

The black spear crumbled inch by inch in the collision, and the golden light dimmed completely, turning into stardust and dissipating into the void.

"Again!" Wu Xie's eyes blazed with ghostly fire as he gritted his teeth and launched a second attack.

The black mist surrounding Him materialized, soaring into the sky to form a vast, black sea of ​​clouds that blotted out the sun. From within this sea of ​​clouds, colossal eyes of death continuously emerged, each eye unleashing a beam of light imbued with the power of annihilation. These beams of light intertwined into a net, and within the area they enveloped, stars dimmed, and all things came to an end, as if the end of the universe had arrived prematurely!

Ren Yuan was in the center of that apocalyptic region, where the concept of death was being frantically reinforced.

Just as he was about to be conceptually obliterated, the Wings of Chaos suddenly unfurled behind Ren Yuan, completely covering his body. The nebula of the beginning of creation faintly appeared between the translucent wings, resisting the attack of death.

"Blocking it is useless, it's just a delay!" Wu Xie roared ferociously, mobilizing all his divine power.

"Death is the beginning of new life, I am reborn from destruction!" With a solemn declaration, Ren Yuan suddenly spread his wings, and a terrifying power burst forth, completely destroying the already shattered hell into dust.

Ren Yuan finally awoke. The glint in his eyes was no longer the sharpness of a demigod, but the primordial chaos of the universe's beginning.

He has become the God of Chaos!
