Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 566 Chaos
Chapter 574

No, not even ashes remained.

They were like a piece of code that had been written incorrectly, which Senior Xu Ran... casually deleted.

The one who started all of this, Xu Ran, simply stood calmly at the bow of the Sky Ferry, as if he had just brushed away a speck of dust.

His gaze remained fixed on the distant depths of the starry sky as he said calmly, "I said, this is 'the next time'."

Tu Feng jolted awake and suddenly came to his senses.

He then realized that what Senior Xu Ran had just said was not directed at him, nor at the "disappeared" Blood King of the Prison.

Instead, it was spoken across endless time and space to the mastermind behind the scenes, the Lord of Blood Prison, who was far away in the Blood Prison Star Sea!
With a single sword strike, the enemy is slain from billions of miles away!

What divine power! What domineering might!
“Senior…Lord of the Blood Prison, he…” Tu Feng’s voice trembled.

"Dead." Xu Ran's answer was simple and clear.

"Dead?" Tu Feng felt his heart skip a beat.

The ruler of an immortal empire, the supreme being who stood at the pinnacle of the universe and looked down upon the rise and fall of all living beings, just like that... died?
He was killed by a sword light that spanned several star belts?
If this were to get out, it would probably cause a massive wave that would sweep across the entire known universe!

"wrong!"

Just then, Xu Ran's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He looked again toward the Blood Prison Star Sea, where something seemed to be awakening in the void he had wiped out with his sword.

"The cause and effect are not severed, but merely transferred..." Xu Ran murmured to himself, "So, this is your trump card."

……

Blood Prison Star Sea, Holy Land Ruins.

That enormous void was violently twisting and writhing.

In the deepest part of the void, crimson chains thicker than galaxies appeared out of thin air. Ancient and obscure runes were engraved on these chains, emanating an aura that suppressed eternity and sealed everything.

They were locking up an enormous... blood-red ancient coffin!
The ancient coffin was covered with golden divine runes. Each rune contained the Dao and Law of an ancient supreme being, together forming an unbreakable seal.

However, at this moment, these divine symbols that once shone brightly in the heavens are rapidly dimming, their divine radiance flickering like a candle in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Crack...knock..."

The lid of the ancient coffin was being slowly, little by little, pushed open.

An aura of madness, tyranny, antiquity, and evil, a billion times more terrifying than that of the Lord of Blood Prison, leaked wildly from the opening!
Wherever this aura passed, stars withered and the void decayed.

Throughout the Blood Prison Star Sea, all living beings, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a call and...fear emanating from the deepest part of their bloodline at this moment!
Their blood is boiling!
Their reason is burning!
Their desire for killing and destruction was amplified countless times!
"Roar!"

On life-bearing planets, countless Blood Prisoners, their eyes bloodshot and irrational, began to frantically attack everything around them. Cities collapsed, and the earth bled.

Even those Dao Lord-level ancestors with profound cultivation had ferocious expressions, strange blood-red demonic patterns appeared on their bodies, and their auras became chaotic and violent.

"It's...it's our ancestor!"

"The seal on the Blood Prison Abyss... has been broken!"

"Master... he used his own death as a sacrifice to awaken the first ancestor ahead of schedule!"

The few Blood Prison elders who still retained a sliver of consciousness let out desperate roars.

They finally understood the final madness of the Lord of Blood Prison.

Knowing he was doomed, he used a secret technique to transfer Xu Ran's sword light that had annihilated "existence" to the seal that suppressed the ancestor before he died!

He exchanged his "death" for the "life" of the ancestor!
He wanted to make the man who killed him face a monster a thousand times more terrifying than himself, a monster that was truly incomprehensible and invincible!

He wants the entire universe to be buried with him!
"Boom!"

The lid of the blood-red ancient coffin was completely pushed open!

A large hand, covered in dark red keratin, with nails as black as ink, and entwined with endless resentment and curses, slowly emerged from the coffin.

With just one hand, the surrounding star field began to collapse!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying figure, beyond description, slowly sat up from the ancient coffin.

He had no facial features; his face was a chaotic vortex of blood. His body seemed to be composed of a solidified sea of ​​blood and the corpses of billions of living beings, every corner of which emanated the purest malice and pollution.

He was the first Blood Prison Lord!
That immortal demon that fused with "black blood," was ultimately assimilated by a mad will, and was suppressed by the combined might of all the supreme beings of the heavens!
"Ho...ho..."

He let out a hoarse, inhuman gasp, and his chaotic face turned toward the direction of the Burial God Starfield.

He "saw" Xu Ran.

Transcending the barriers of time and space, he "saw" the "foreign object" that had killed his descendants and disrupted his slumber.

An indescribable rage and hunger instantly filled his will!

"pollute……"

"Devour..."

His inhuman murmurs transformed into a tangible demonic sound, instantly spreading across dozens of star belts.

Under this demonic sound, countless stars instantly lost all their light and heat, turning into lifeless gray stone spheres.

Some nearby weaker civilizations, and all living beings in the world, were drained of their life force in an instant, turning into mummies.

The mere babbling of a newly awakened being caused such a terrifying catastrophe!

This is the true power of the monster fused with "black blood"!

The laws of this universe both reject him and... fear him!

"Om-"

The figure of the first Blood Prison Lord vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared outside the Burial God Starfield. His enormous demonic body blotted out the sun, plunging the entire desolate starfield into eternal darkness.

He stretched out that terrifying claw, ignoring space and distance, and grabbed directly at the airship where Xu Ran was!

This claw strike lacked the fluctuations of laws and the flow of Daoist principles.

Only the purest and most fundamental "pollution" and "assimilation"!
He wanted to turn Xu Ran, along with this ship and this space, into a part of his demonic body!

On the ferry, the boatman in the bronze mask couldn't even utter a scream. The moment he came into contact with that aura, his body and soul turned into a pool of foul-smelling blood.

Tu Feng felt his consciousness being eroded by an irresistible, mad will. His eyes began to turn red, and black blood vessels under his skin began to writhe like earthworms.

He is being "transformed"!
Just as he was about to completely lose his mind, a warm hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

A clear, calm power, seemingly containing the most primordial order of the universe at its beginning, instantly surged into his body, completely "correcting" and dispelling the rampant polluting power.

Tu Feng shuddered, suddenly snapping back to reality. He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

In that instant, he felt as if he had fallen into the deepest hell, destined to be condemned to eternal damnation.

"Stand further away."

Xu Ran's calm voice rang in his ears.

Tu Feng nodded hurriedly and retreated desperately until he was behind Xu Ran. Xu Ran looked up at the enormous demonic claw that covered the entire sky and was powerful enough to crush stars, and for the first time, a hint of...interest appeared in his eyes.

"The 'Tao' that does not belong to this world is chaotic and disordered, yet it contains a trace of a higher level of 'truth'..."

He spoke softly, as if admiring an interesting work of art.

"Is this the power of that drop of 'black blood'? Forcibly twisting the established 'cause and effect' into chaotic 'chaos'. Interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer merely pointed his fingers together as a sword.

Instead, he slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and clenched them in mid-air against the claw that was reaching out to grab him.

"What is wrong should be corrected."

"Chaos should be restored to order."

As he clenched his fist.

At this moment, all matter, all energy, and all laws in the entire Burial God Starfield were dominated by a supreme will.

The colossal beast skeletons floating in the void, the shattered ancient warships, the broken statues of gods…

They moved!
At this moment, the countless wrecks seemed to be given a new "mission".

They burned their last brilliance, turning into streams of light that converged from all directions!

They weren't attacking that evil claw.

Instead, it's about...building!
Using the void as a canvas, the laws as lines, and the remains of all things as bricks and tiles!

A colossal cage, radiating the light of order and truth... took shape in an instant!

This cage has no physical form; it is composed of the purest "concepts" and "rules."

Each railing is a revised axiom of the universe.

Every chain is a causal thread that has been straightened out.

"town!"

Xu Ran uttered a single word softly.

The sacred cage formed by that concept crashed down, engulfing the enormous demonic claw, along with the ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body of the first Blood Prison Lord!
"Roar!!!"

The first Blood Prison Lord unleashed a roar that shook the universe!

He struggled frantically, his demonic energy, capable of corrupting everything, violently assaulting every corner of the cage.

However, it was no use.

His power is essentially "chaos".

But this cage represents absolute "order".

Order is inherently designed to regulate chaos!

Each of his attempts not only failed to budge the cage in the slightest, but was instead constantly worn down and purified by the light of "truth" contained within it, emitting a "hissing" sound and puffs of black smoke.

"This...this is..."

Tu Feng, standing in the distance, was completely dumbfounded.

Follow your words!
No, this is even more terrifying than words becoming law!
This is creating "rules" out of thin air and defining "truth"!
He casually transformed an ancient battlefield that had buried countless gods and demons into a... Divine Prison of Order that suppressed immortal demons!
Such methods are completely beyond his comprehension!

He even suspected that even the legendary beings who created this universe and established the rules of all things were nothing more than this.

Xu Ran ignored Tu Feng's shock.

After he finished doing all this, he turned around and walked towards the immortal-level star vein that was heavily guarded by the Blood Prison God Guards.

He moved about as if he were in an empty place.

Those war fortresses and those patrolling guards had already completely lost their minds the moment the first Blood Prison Lord awoke, turning into madmen who only knew how to kill.

At this moment, they are being suppressed within by their ancestors and the Order Prison, unable to move.

Xu Ran walked up to the star vein that shone as brightly as the Milky Way.

This stellar vein contains a vast and boundless primordial energy, enough to support an immortal lineage and operate for several eras.

This is a treasure that any cultivator would dream of.

However, Xu Ran looked at it and shook his head slightly.

"The energy is mixed, the rules are incomplete, and it's tainted with too much causal dust... Oh well, it's barely usable."

He stretched out his hand and gently beckoned to the enormous star vein that stretched across the void.

"receive."

In an instant, that immortal-level star vein, which was larger than several star systems combined, began to contract, collapse, and condense violently!
The boundless energy it contained was frantically compressed and purified under Xu Ran's will!
All the impure energies, all the incomplete laws, and all the tainted causes and effects are eliminated and corrected one by one in this process!
In the end, this immortal star vein, which was enough to drive even the Dao Ancestor mad, transformed into an energy crystal the size of a dragon's eye, crystal clear, radiating the purest and most primal brilliance.

The interior of the crystal seemed to contain a universe in the process of birth and destruction, extremely mysterious.

Xu Ran casually tossed the crystal to Tu Feng behind him.

"this is for you."

"what?"

Tu Feng instinctively caught the crystal, completely stunned.

Give me?

This...this is the essence of an immortal-level star vein!

Its value is enough to buy a small part of the star field!
Even someone like the Lord of Heavenly Blade Mountain would probably find it hard to breathe upon seeing this crystal!

Senior... you just gave it to me like that?
"Senior... this... this is too precious! I dare not accept it!" Tu Feng's voice trembled.

“You’ll show me the way, this is my reward.” Xu Ran’s logic was as simple as ever. “Besides, this thing is useless to me.”

Tu Feng held the crystal, feeling as if it weighed a ton.

He knew that Xu Ran was telling the truth.

For an being capable of suppressing immortal demons with ease, whose words carry the weight of law, and who can reshape the rules, a mere star vein is indeed nothing.

But for him, this was an unparalleled opportunity that could change his entire life!

With it, I can not only recover from my injuries quickly, but I also have the hope of breaking through to the legendary Dao Ancestor realm in the future!

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Tu Feng took a deep breath, stopped being coy, and bowed deeply to Xu Ran.

He knew that from this moment on, his fate was completely intertwined with that of the unfathomable senior before him.
