He fell off a cliff but unexpectedly gained a cultivation inheritance.

Time flows on and on, and eternity passes in the blink of an eye.

Since the ascension of Ancestor Xuanqing, trillions of epochs have passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the beginning of these trillions of eons ago, the Chaos has remained undisturbed. This is solely because Zhang Bufan, the only perfected Universe Realm expert in the Chaos, has been stationed in the Extraordinary Universe, ruling over the billions of races of the Celestial Court. The entire Chaos territory has thus entered an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity.

Even though the extraterrestrial demons still follow the ancient rhythm, with each cycle lasting 10 billion epochs, they will unleash a massive demonic calamity on time, sweeping across the entire territory of the network.

But the Celestial Court of today is vastly different from what it once was. It is now unified across the entire realm, boasts formidable military strength, and can be deployed at will. With each wave of demonic calamity, the mighty Celestial Court army rushes to the battlefield, sweeping across the heavens. In just a few epochs, it can completely quell the war and eradicate the demons, posing no real threat to the chaotic beings. At most, it causes some losses on the borders of its territory. Compared to the devastating calamities of the past that ravaged life and wiped out races, this is a world of difference.

Even amidst peace and prosperity, Zhang Bufan never slackened his efforts, secretly investigating the root cause of the demonic calamity.

After tracing back through trillions of years and meticulously investigating every trace, he finally uncovered the bizarre truth.

These extraterrestrial demons, which wreak havoc on chaos and slaughter countless races, were born in a manner exactly like the chaotic energy that nourishes the heavens. They all arose out of thin air from the boundary of chaos, as if they were forcibly cast into the chaotic territory by some unseen force.

In order to thoroughly understand the mysteries of the demons, the Celestial Court has been tasked with capturing, raising, and studying countless demon races. Over time, a chilling pattern has slowly emerged, further confirming the speculation that the demonic calamity is being manipulated.

Those Demon Emperors who were first born out of the Chaos Boundary and descended to the first generation will not stay in the Chaos for long. After staying in the Chaos Territory for a hundred million epochs, they will disappear without warning.

However, the demonic offspring born from the first Demon Emperor in the chaos were able to survive for a long time and continue to multiply.

Only the deliberate manipulation of an unknown higher-dimensional being can explain this ancient and bizarre cycle of demonic reincarnation.

Even now, with his unparalleled power over the chaos, Zhang Bufan remains helpless against it. He has deciphered the laws governing the birth of demons, yet he cannot stop the proliferation of demons within the chaotic boundary, nor can he shake the unseen controlling hand.

Left with no other choice, he could only resort to passive stabilization. For trillions of years, he had devoted himself to honing the Celestial Court's combat power, perfecting the defense of the territory, and strengthening the foundation of the race. Every time a demonic calamity struck, he would clear the Demon Abyss as quickly as possible to minimize casualties.

Aside from the periodic calamities of evil spirits, the entire chaotic realm has now returned to a state of complete peace and prosperity.

The Celestial Court unified all races, maintaining strict order. Countless chaotic races lived in peace and prosperity, multiplying and thriving, no longer needing to worry about their survival or foreign invasion.

With no worries about survival, spiritual practice becomes the only obsession.

Over trillions of epochs, countless cultivators who were stuck at the peak of the Primordial Realm or reached a bottleneck followed the example of their predecessors and chose to ascend to the God Realm to seek another path.

Hundreds of millions of powerful beings in the Primordial Realm embarked on the path of ascension one after another. Among them were not only the top experts from the various old clans of Chaos, but also thousands of extraordinary native citizens of the universe, and even several descendants who carried Zhang Bufan's bloodline.

Zhang Bufan never interfered with anyone's choice to ascend; he let nature take its course and respected each cultivator's choice of Dao heart.

But what followed was an increasingly intense sense of eeriness and the unknown.

All the cultivators who stepped into the ascension passage completely lost contact and disappeared without a trace. No one sent back a single message to the God Realm, as if all the ascendants were completely erased the moment they stepped into the passage.

Suspicious, Zhang Bufan repeatedly sent out his primordial clones to enter the ascension passages opened by other powerful figures, attempting to uncover the truth at the end of the passages. However, the moment each clone entered the passage, all primordial connections, soul connections, and Daoist bonds between him and the clone were severed, resulting in an instant and complete loss of communication, with no further feedback whatsoever.

Ascending to the divine realm is no longer an opportunity to transcend the Great Dao; rather, it is like an inescapable prison or annihilation zone that devours all things and offers no escape.

The endless layers of strangeness deepened Zhang Bufan's vigilance and made him firmly determined never to embark on the path of ascension.

Time rolls on, endlessly.

The population of chaotic beings is growing ever larger, the number of seekers of the Dao who have reached perfection in the primordial world is increasing day by day, and powerful individuals are constantly entering the path of ascension.

In the blink of an eye, countless epochs have passed.

For countless eons, Zhang Bufan's cultivation level has remained fixed at the Perfection of the Universe Realm, with no sign of any further breakthrough. The upper limit of the Great Dao in this chaotic world has long since locked away his path to advancement.

But his foundation and inner strength have never ceased to be refined.

The extraordinary universe, nourished by the chaotic origin of countless epochs, has broken through to a diameter of tens of thousands of cosmic units. Zhang Bufan's original foundation has increased by more than ten thousand times compared to when he first broke through to perfection.

Now, he is able to rely on his vast origin to stably sustain himself for countless epochs of time in the void and death zone.

Throughout countless eons, he has ventured deep into the void several times to explore unknown territories, attempting to break free from the shackles of chaos and find new opportunities in the Great Dao.

But in the end, all their efforts were in vain.

The void remained the same desolate void, boundless and endless. No matter how he explored or delved deeper, he could never find a way forward.

To this day, his understanding of the mysteries of chaos and nothingness remains stuck in the past, billions of years ago, with no further progress or breakthroughs.

There is no way out, chaos has reached its limit, exploration has yielded no results, and the realm has stagnated.

In the midst of chaos, it seemed that only one path remained—ascending to the realm of gods.

But that only path forward is unpredictable and has no way out; it is an unknown prison that devours the strong, and is by no means a true path to transcendence.

Zhang Bufan was determined and would never compromise with fate. Since the Chaotic Heavenly Dao had blocked his path, he would defy the Heavenly Dao, tear through the fog, and personally uncover the truth of all ages!

Once the mind is made up, there is no more hesitation.

The extraordinary core of the universe, the supreme palace of the celestial court.

Zhang Bufan summoned his Daoist companions, including Ye Qingxue, Bai Qingyao, Yue Ling'er, Li Qingshuang, and Zhang Mengshuang, as well as all his offspring, to his presence.

The hall was quiet and solemn, and all was silent.

Zhang Bufan's gaze swept calmly over his loved ones, his voice steady and resolute, resounding throughout the entire hall: "To this day, chaos reigns, ascension is elusive, and the shackles of the Great Dao of this world are all held by the Chaotic Heavenly Dao. I am determined to defy the Heavenly Dao and personally tear open the ultimate fog surrounding this world."

His words were like a thunderbolt, shaking the heavens and earth.

Everyone felt worried, but no one spoke up to dissuade them or objected or questioned their actions.

Having accompanied Zhang Bufan for countless epochs, they have long known his Dao heart and decisiveness. No matter if the road ahead is an abyss, an eternal predicament, or an opportunity for transcendence and the pinnacle of the Great Dao, they will unconditionally trust, support, and wait for him.

Ye Qingxue looked up, her eyes filled with unwavering faith and steadfast waiting: "My husband, we will wait for you to return. No matter how many ages pass, no matter how the world changes, we will always be here."

Everyone nodded, their eyes resolute.

Seeing this, Zhang Bufan's expression turned solemn, and he solemnly instructed everyone: "After I leave, time will be uncertain, and my return date is unknown. You must remember to guard your true selves and stay on the right path. No matter what happens or what time it is, remember not to ascend before I return."

The ascension passage is unpredictable and fraught with deadly dangers; he will never allow his loved ones to step into a cage and be trapped in the unknown.

"We will remember this!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Zhang Bufan said no more. With a slight thought, his figure instantly became ethereal and disappeared into thin air. In an instant, he traversed billions of cosmic units and descended into the most vast and core heartland of the Chaos Territory.

This place corresponds to the location of the giant's heart!

Long before, Zhang Bufan had already made arrangements to relocate and properly resettle all the creatures and races within this core territory, clearing the entire battlefield.

Zhang Bufan stood at the core of chaos, facing the very origin of the rules of the entire chaos, his eyes deep and his Dao heart surging.

The next moment, he raised his hand to cover the sky, and his Dao voice shook the world, launching the ultimate challenge against the eternal and supreme Dao that controls chaos!

On one side is the Chaos Heavenly Dao, which has existed since time immemorial and governs the primordial order;

On one side is the supreme human being, whose existence has been accumulated over countless eons and who has transcended the shackles of chaos.

Two supreme chaotic forces collided with a deafening roar, and the ultimate battle erupted instantly!

The terrifying, boundless battle fluctuations swept across the entire chaos, penetrating every chaotic network. The violent fluctuations of Dao power continuously eroded the source of chaos, directly causing the flow rate of chaotic air throughout the entire chaos to surge several times over.

This level of competition is far beyond the comprehension of this chaotic world, and the outcome cannot be determined overnight.

One year, a hundred years, a billion years...

Time flows silently, and the great war continues uninterrupted throughout the ages.

In the early stages of the great war, countless chaotic beings felt the terrifying fluctuations of the world being overturned, and were all terrified and uneasy.

This fluctuation continued for hundreds of millions of epochs without ever stopping, day after day, year after year, until the chaotic beings gradually became numb and slowly got used to it.

Hundreds of millions of epochs of time are enough to replace countless generations of living beings and erase countless memories.

The new generation of chaotic beings born later, from the day they were born, were accustomed to the shaking of heaven and earth and the rushing of air currents, and had long been unaware that these fluctuations in the sky originated from an ultimate battle against the heavens.

Over time, the name of the supreme being who founded the Celestial Court, unified the Chaos, and defied the Heavenly Dao—Zhang Bufan—gradually faded from the memories of all living beings, transforming into the most distant and ethereal ancient legend in the Chaos Heavens.
