The Devouring Star Blade Severs Reincarnation

Chapter 499, The Chaos Ruler

Within the chaotic layer, a pale blue light flickered, protecting Ye Muxuan like a small boat adrift in an endless ocean.

At a certain moment, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, and with a sweep of his hand, silver light emanated from the edge of his palm, as endless chaotic power was cleaved open, like splitting waves.

Time is running out. The protection of the leaves of the Void Mother Tree is also time-limited, lasting only one cycle. I need to reserve time to return.

However, during this period, he made great progress and had already comprehended the eighth Chaos Realm move. In particular, he was only one step away from mastering the complete Chaos Time Law, especially the Source of Time, which he was most proficient in.

Compared to its own progress, the flat cylinder had no idea how many chaotic beings it had captured in the hundreds of millions of days. It only knew that from time to time, blades of light would appear somewhere in the endless chaotic power. Once, a wisp of its consciousness entered that void space and discovered that the missing parts at the edge were almost completely filled.

With some things on his mind, Ye Muxuan retraced his steps and wandered through the chaotic layer.

Chi~

A dazzling light, disregarding time and space, suddenly appeared beside Ye Muxuan.

Ye Muxuan raised his hand, as if sealing it off, his five fingers transformed into pillars of space, and the base of his palm into a universe. In an instant, a rudimentary form of a chaotic universe appeared in his palm, trapping the dazzling light within.

This is his greatest achievement in the laws of chaos. Once this nascent chaotic universe is complete, it will mean that he has mastered the complete laws of chaos, and he will be able to become the ruler of chaos.

huh~

A small hole was pierced through the nascent chaotic universe, and the chaotic airflow inside instantly changed from order to chaos, before collapsing.

"Huh? Interesting." Seeing that this move had failed to contain the dazzling light, Ye Muxuan's divine power instantly ignited, greatly increasing its power, and he reached out his hand again.

But it was too late.

A blade of light appeared instantly, striking the dazzling light, and then both vanished simultaneously.

Ye Muxuan shook his head; it had been captured by the flattened cylinder again.

He didn't know what this flattened cylinder was, but he knew that whenever it made a move, whether it was to sever a cultivator's will or capture a chaotic being, it could do it in a single strike—in fact, Ye Muxuan suspected that it wasn't even a single strike, but rather that none of these things were enough for it to do a single strike.

While lost in these random thoughts, he hurried back the way he came. A wisp of consciousness touched the flat cylinder, which had now taken on the shape of a complete hilt, with only the very end still slightly damaged.

Consciousness was drawn in, and now this place was almost a complete void, with smooth and flat edges, showing no trace of its original incompleteness. The reason it is said to be almost is because there is still a slight flaw.

A wisp of consciousness observed the chaotic beings floating and wandering in the void. One of the chaotic beings shone with an extremely dazzling light, its silver light sharp to the extreme. Just by the consciousness "looking" at it, there was a sharpness that could annihilate everything.

Unlike the other dozens of chaotic beings that wandered and floated freely, this dazzling light was like a born king, and anyone who saw it would regard it as the center—of course, right now only Ye Muxuan's consciousness could see it.

The next instant, the dazzling light shattered, turning into fragments floating there, each fragment bearing clear traces of the laws of chaos!

As Ye Muxuan's consciousness watched, the hundreds of fragments that had shattered transformed into droplets, each droplet resembling a nascent chaotic universe.

The water droplet floated slowly to where it had been, and finally merged into it, becoming part of the void.

The void space has finally been completed!

At one point, Ye Muxuan, who was on his way, stopped. The pale blue veins of the leaves of the Void Mother Tree emitted invisible void fluctuations, protecting him from the rejection and assimilation of the chaotic power.

With both hands outstretched, the rudimentary form of a chaotic universe appeared in their palms, its endless chaotic power orderly and systematic, evolving from the original rudimentary chaotic universe into a true universe in the palm of one's hand.

As endless chaotic power surged in from the outside, nourishing and sustaining life, at a certain moment, the first life was born within this chaotic universe in the palm of one's hand, opening its bewildered eyes.

This is the complete law of chaos!

Ye Muxuan suddenly looked up, the light rising from the universe in his palm and landing in the chaotic layer with endless chaotic power. In his eyes, two chaotic universes were taking shape.

Mastering the complete laws of chaos means becoming the true ruler of chaos! This officially brought him into the sights of the higher-ups of the Origin Continent.

Ye Muxuan raised his hand and put the first life born in the universe into the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda. In the Origin Continent, the Eternal True God was merely an elite, a reserve force, or even a city lord of some major powers. Only by reaching the level of Chaos Ruler could one be considered to have entered the core of a major power.

They may not be qualified to make certain decisions, but their opinions are absolutely worthy of the respect of those God-Kings! Even some extremely powerful peak Chaos Realm experts are people that even some God-Kings are unwilling to offend.

Like the Jin Kingdom, which at its peak had numerous Eternal True Gods under its command, it only had a dozen or so Chaos Rulers. The Wu Kingdom was similar; it had many general squads at the Eternal True God level, and with the support of legion-type mechanical treasures, they could even possess some of the power of the Chaos Realm. However, at its peak, the Wu Kingdom only had a dozen or so Chaos Rulers.

Apart from the third-generation patriarch, who rose against the odds to become a god-king, none of the other nearly two hundred successors in the entire lineage who became the ruler of chaos could surpass the Qian position.

Within the small universe of the Shadow Blade Ancestor in the Cosmic Sea, in the Origin Land, the Origin Space is collapsing, and even the power of chaos has appeared, with strands of chaotic laws showing substantial manifestation!

Some time ago, only the secret patterns of laws appeared, but now what has emerged is the law of chaos!

Ye Muxuan could only comprehend the laws of chaos in the Chaos Layer for less than one epoch, but in the Cosmic Sea, hundreds of millions of epochs had passed. His small universe was now inhabited by a large number of humans, many of whom were members of the Qingyuan Clan. After all, Ye Muxuan was the first patriarch in the history of the Qingyuan Clan.

And at this moment—

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The changes in the primordial space affected many planes within the entire miniature universe. Qing Que Yan Tong and Lian Feng, who happened to be there, immediately noticed the anomaly in the miniature universe.

Not only them, but also many powerful figures from the Shadow Blade Kingdom lineage, including many universe lords who are currently in small universes, have all sensed the anomaly in the Holy Land universe.

Inside the Origin Space, Ye Muxuan appeared in his avatar, looked at Qing Que Yantong and Lian Feng, and said, "No need to rush, my strength has made some breakthroughs."

Has the husband (father) made a breakthrough in his abilities?

Qing Que and Yan Tong exchanged a glance. What comes after the Eternal True God?

The Lord of Chaos!

My husband, have you become the ruler of chaos?!

The news was immediately relayed to the Primordial Ancestor, the Founder of the Giant Axe, and Luo Feng.

Only halfway through a cycle of reincarnation, the Shadow Blade Ancestor has already become the Lord of Chaos!

This message traveled from humanity to the entire primordial universe, and then to the Cosmic Sea—which now consists of the ten true gods from the first two cycles of reincarnation and the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land.

The Primordial Ancestor, the Giant Axe Founder, Luo Feng, and many other True Gods of humanity, along with the ten True Gods from the previous two reincarnation eras and the Northern True Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, all rushed from various parts of the Cosmic Sea to the small universe of the Shadow Blade Ancestor. They saw that a huge vortex had begun to appear on the membrane of that small universe, which was absorbing the chaotic air currents in the Cosmic Sea.

The endless chaotic energy was absorbed, forming a vortex storm. Even a supreme treasure at the level of a Void True God would be torn to pieces if it accidentally fell into it!

This is exactly the same situation as when a small universe expanded from the level of a true god to become an eternal true god!

"It's true!"

"The Shadow Blade Progenitor's miniature universe has begun to expand again!"

"A miniature universe with a diameter of one hundred billion light-years has begun to expand again!"

"The Shadow Blade Progenitor's strength is terrifying!"

"Humans are terrifying!"

The framework of a miniature universe at the True God stage determines its future potential. If there are flaws in the framework, it will naturally fall into a state of no return after growing to a certain stage. For those beings born on the Origin Continent, the only option at this time is reincarnation.

For beings in the cosmic ocean, they are likely trapped at a certain level for their entire lives. If they choose to reincarnate, it means the collapse of their miniature universe, and all beings whose life origins are entrusted to the miniature universe will perish instantly.

Therefore, the structure of a miniature universe is a matter of utmost care for every true god. Of course, the structure can be changed, but the cost is too high; it would require at least the resources of a god-king level to undertake such a change.

But how many beings born from the cosmic sea can actually join the power of the God-King?

The expansion of the Shadow Blade Ancestor's miniature universe signifies another breakthrough in his strength, a message that was passed from the Northern True Star Lord to the Eastern Emperor Ancestor.

Beneath the Ancestral Tree, the avatar formed from the combined will and primordial power of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor looked down at the kneeling avatar of the Northern True Star Lord and asked, "Has the sacred universe of the Shadow Blade Ancestor truly expanded once again?"

"Yes, Ancestor, the Holy Land Universe of the Shadow Blade Ancestor is currently expanding, and all the powerful beings in the entire universe have witnessed it." The Northern True Star Lord, who was kneeling below, raised his head and respectfully said, "It is still in the expansion phase. The diameter of the Holy Land Universe is already close to three hundred billion light-years, but it has not stopped yet."

Based on the previous expansion pattern of the Shadow Blade Progenitor's small universe, this time it will probably expand to a diameter of one trillion light-years!

This conclusion made the true god of the cosmic sea tremble!

It should be noted that the diameter of the original universe is only ten trillion light-years. If the Shadow Blade Ancestor's strength were to increase again, wouldn't the Shadow Blade Holy Land universe be as large as the original universe?

The Eastern Emperor Ancestor withdrew his gaze from the Northern True Star Lord and, in an instant, looked outside the membrane of the small universe, seemingly wanting to penetrate the membrane to see the distant Shadow Blade Holy Land universe.

How could this be? He was also on the Origin Continent, and knew all too well how difficult it was to improve one's strength there. He had already traversed hundreds of reincarnation eras, and spent millions of eons on the Origin Continent, yet he was still a Void True God, and was still accumulating cultivation resources. Becoming an Eternal True God was still a distant dream, and even the Holy Land universe was only 32 billion light-years in diameter.

How could Shadow Blade's strength increase so quickly? Doesn't he need to accumulate cultivation resources, doesn't he need the inheritance of the Chaos Realm, and doesn't he need to carefully guard against those hunters?

On the Origin Continent, Void Gods and Eternal Gods are easily hunted down! They are even more likely to perish than the immortals of the original universe!

Moreover, although his strength and status within the sect were relatively low, he hadn't heard from any of his fellow disciples recently about any Divine Lord becoming the Lord of Chaos.

Should we contact the progenitor of the Shadow Blade?

Amidst the dilemma of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, the Shadow Blade Holy Land universe continued to expand. The true gods of the entire primordial universe stopped going to the three forbidden zones and instead gathered outside the Holy Land universe to watch and wait for its expansion to complete.

This wait lasted for five years.

It took five whole years for the Shadow Blade Holy Land universe to absorb endless chaotic power before it finally completed its expansion. When it ceased expanding, the many True Gods naturally discovered that the Holy Land universe had indeed reached a diameter of a full trillion light-years!

Even compared to the primordial universe, this colossal entity is only one level below! If the Shadow Blade Ancestor's strength were to break through again, the cosmic sea might add another primordial universe!

While they were trembling with fear, the human race's true god held a celebration banquet, inviting all the true gods in the entire universe, as well as the true gods of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and the Primordial Universe Demon Insect Clan Alliance!

You are still fighting for territory, still striving for reincarnation and the eternity of your race, while we humans already have our own primordial universe!

The celebration lasted longer than the expansion of the Shadowblade Sanctuary universe.

During the banquet, the Primordial Ancestor and the Founder of the Giant Axe approached Ye Muxuan to discuss some matters.

"You mean, you two are planning to go and try your luck in the cycle of reincarnation right now?" Ye Muxuan asked, looking at the Primordial Ancestor, the Giant Axe Founder, and Luo Feng who had come with them.

"Yes, now the human race has no rivals in the primordial universe. Luo Feng made an agreement with the original will of the primordial universe to merge into it during the Great Cataclysm and experience that destruction and birth, so he has to wait for the end of this cycle of reincarnation. But Giant Axe and I don't need to wait." The primordial ancestor in white robes looked at Ye Muxuan and said seriously, "After Giant Axe and I enter the cycle of reincarnation, the human race has Luo Feng, Chaos, and Qingying and the others. The new generation has also grown up. They are still absolutely invincible in the entire universe. We don't need to worry. So Giant Axe and I discussed it and prepared to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Primordial Ancestor!" Luo Feng exclaimed. He had only come to pay his respects to his teacher, but he hadn't expected to hear about the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe preparing to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

The light from the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder fell upon Ye Muxuan's avatar, awaiting his reply.

After all, Ye Muxuan is currently the strongest person in the group, and the first to pass through Xi Hui. We should hear what he has to say about the situation in Xi Hui.

"I don't plan to let you break through to the Xi Hui right now." Ye Muxuan shook his head, looked at the three of them, and said, "First, after just breaking through to the True God realm and breaking through to the Xi Hui, it will be difficult for you to settle down here. Just look at the Eastern Emperor. He has already broken through to the Xi Hui realm for hundreds of Xi Hui eras and is still only a Void True God."

"Secondly, the location where the intruders will reappear is random. My strength is still insufficient, so I cannot directly sense where you are or lead you to a safer place. If you end up in a dangerous area, you could perish instantly."

The three—the Primordial Ancestor, the Giant Axe Founder, and the Primordial One—exchanged glances. None of them had anticipated that the journey back to Xixi would be so dangerous. Or rather, they had some expectations, but not as dangerous as Ye Muxuan had described.

Then I thought of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the previous Purple Moon Ancestor. They had both been through hundreds of cycles of evolution. The latter's Holy Land universe was destroyed by Luo Feng, but the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe is still 32 billion light-years away. It can be seen that he is still a Void True God and his strength has not broken through.

"Third, and most importantly, the small universe structure that you and the giant axe created is only average. If your strength breaks through in the future, this structure will, in turn, limit your strength improvement."

Both the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder achieved true godhood before the Human Lord received the inheritance from the Origin Continent. Their small universe structure was not guided and could only be described as average. Currently, there is no difference between true gods, both being one hundred million light-years apart. However, when it comes to Void True Gods and Eternal True Gods, this difference will become apparent, which would be troublesome.

It can be said that among the more than sixty true gods of the current human race, the small universe structure of the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder is the worst. However, their talents are too strong, and their future achievements are likely to be even greater. Once their strength increases in the future, the small universe structure will become their weakness.

"Does the teacher mean to spend a lot of money to change the architecture of the miniature universe?" Luo Feng suddenly asked upon hearing this.

The Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder exchanged bewildered glances. Change the architecture of the miniature universe? This was a question they had never considered. After all, their miniature universe was already formed, a complete and mature miniature universe. Could its architecture really be changed?

"Yes, if the cost of altering the microcosmic architecture at the True God level is 1, then once it reaches the Void True God level, the cost might be 1000. And right now, I don't have enough resources to buy the treasure that can alter the microcosmic architecture of a Void True God," Ye Muxuan's avatar said. "However, I can buy the treasure that alters the microcosmic architecture of a True God right now, but sending it to the Cosmic Sea requires a huge price, and it's still being processed."

"Mu Xuan————"

"teacher----"

"The matter of the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe venturing into the Dimensional Realm is not urgent for now. My suggestion is to wait until the small universe is restructured before breaking through to the True God realm to venture into the Dimensional Realm. Even if we have to wait another one or two Dimensional Realm eras, it will be worth it."

Ye Muxuan, in his avatar, looked at the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Is there even a need to choose? We can talk about it later! Anyway, going back now would only be a hindrance to Mu Xuan."
