Chapter 1750: Chaos

A friendly reminder: if you have any questions or suggestions, you can post them on Brother Dong's Weibo; he will read them all.

In the universe, Yun Geng pushed the Secret of Movement to its absolute limit. His entire body shimmered with radiant crystal light, and his feathered robes danced, like a battle immortal poised to cleave an enemy before him.

Here, myriad laws intertwined, and vast waves of Dao power surged. Ye Fan was enveloped by brilliant divine chains of order, resembling a large cocoon, as divine radiance rained down and beams of light filled the sky.

At this moment, the laws of heaven and earth transformed into tangible chains, manifesting in a myriad of colors, with auspicious mists flowing and shimmering vapors spreading, creating a brilliant and dreamlike spectacle.

These rules of order, like molten metal, flowed with an incandescent glow, enveloping Ye Fan. They transformed into a cauldron and then a furnace, nurturing him within.

Though each of Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao's attacks made Ye Fan cough up large amounts of blood, he could no longer shatter him, which caused Xiaoyao to change his expression.

On the contrary, in a desperate counterattack, Ye Fan swept across the nine heavens, unleashing brilliant divine chains that riddled Yun Geng's body and caused it to explode once.

"It truly surprises me that you can actually fight me," Xiaoyao Tianzun said. "If not for my astonishing immortal speed, I might have truly fallen to you this time."

He stopped, standing far away and watching Ye Fan within the cauldron, an inexplicable light in his eyes. Then he took a deep breath of primordial essence. This single action caused countless galaxies in the universe to dim, as their essence transformed into immortal energy and surged into his body.

The major powerful clans in the universe were horrified. At this level, one could absorb the most primordial essence of star regions; if they did so intentionally, it would truly be a divine catastrophe.

Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao stretched out his arms, continuously forming hand seals and employing secret arts. This was a sublimation of the Secret of Movement, evolved to an incomprehensible degree.

One of his palms became crystal clear, and then he forcefully shook it, forming a magical seal which he struck towards Ye Fan.

"Whoosh!"

Dazzling divine light and astonishing auspicious colors erupted. It was an astonishing immortal light that flew from his palm, directly entering the cauldron, which resembled molten metal, intending to pierce through Ye Fan's body.

"The Light of Time!"

Even the beings within the restricted life zones could not remain calm, as several gasps of surprise emanated, clearly indicating their deep perturbation. This was a terrifying divine art capable of threatening even them.

This wisp of light was not very thick, but it penetrated the liquid laws surrounding Ye Fan and was about to strike his body. Anything involving time is absolutely heaven-defying.

Ye Fan could not possibly touch it with his physical body; this power was too bizarre. A slight mistake would result in the loss of a vast amount of lifespan, which no one could bear.

With a soft shout, the Myriad Materials Cauldron flew down, landing in front of him. The light struck it with a 'clang', damaging the cauldron wall and creating a hole.

Moreover, the entire cauldron underwent a strange transformation, acquiring a mottled appearance, as if it had been buried under dust for ten thousand years, covered with dense traces of time, which sent shivers down one's spine.

If this were to strike a person, what kind of scene would unfold?

Everyone was shocked. The Nine Exalted Celestials were indeed terrifying; each had reached the pinnacle in their respective fields, unparalleled by anyone, already approaching immortality.

Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao himself did not feel good wielding such power of time; this was a heaven-defying act, as time and years were forbidden. He himself consumed a considerable amount of energy. After regulating his breath, his eyes became incredibly cold.

After a brief moment of calm, Yun Geng roared, suddenly going mad, no longer as graceful and ethereal as before. At this moment, he became a furious lion, his entire body glowing dazzlingly bright as he launched fierce attacks.

The Light of Time!

Every beam of light carried this power. At this stage of the battle, Yun Geng unleashed forbidden divine abilities; he did not want to drag on the fight for too long, hoping to suppress Ye Fan in the shortest possible time.

Throughout the universe, silence reigned, and everyone trembled. With so many Lights of Time flying, who could possibly stop them?

Ye Fan's expression had already changed. He fiercely resisted by urging the Myriad Materials Cauldron, but in just a few moments, his cauldron developed over a dozen small holes and was severely damaged, permeated with terrifying temporal power that made the entire cauldron instantly appear ancient, as if it had been passed down from before the primeval era.

This was a brutal struggle. During it, Ye Fan spat out essence blood, transforming it into blood avatars which he used to escape death several times.

The beings within the restricted zones fell silent. Only after a long time did someone speak.

"Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao is indeed terrifying," someone said. "He is truly worthy of being a powerhouse of the Mythological Era. Even if we were to venture out, we might suffer heavy losses, perhaps even perish."

"The Light of Time, a heaven-defying forbidden power, is truly difficult to deal with," another added. "It can suppress and kill even Imperial Sovereigns."

This was the evaluation of Yun Geng's combat prowess by ancient emperors of old, illustrating his terrifying might. It also demonstrated Ye Fan's profound strength, as he had endured the struggle until now without being extinguished.

Being passively beaten was not Ye Fan's style. He almost went berserk, unleashing myriad laws. Every pore on his body flowed with immortal essence, releasing the very fabric of laws.

Phenomena, Nine Secrets, Flying Immortal Power, Unstarting Art, Heavenly Emperor Fist—at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an ancient thousand-armed immortal, fighting until heaven and earth shattered and reverted to the primordial era.

Various beams of light flew towards Yun Geng, killing intent spread, and chaotic energy surged, submerging the entire area.

Even though Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao possessed extreme speed, he was still struck several times amidst the sky-filling divine laws, coughing up large amounts of blood, with cracks appearing all over his body, suffering heavy injuries.

This was a tragic battle. Ye Fan fought desperately, ready to drag Yun Geng down to death with him. His indomitable fighting spirit made Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao's hair stand on end.

This young man grew stronger with each blow, his eyes growing brighter. The chaotic cauldron severely threatened Yun Geng.

The "furnace cultivating myriad scriptures" actually began refining Yun Geng's Light of Time, gaining defensive power. What kind of astonishing change was this?

When this phenomenon occurred, Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao's eyes went wide. "How is this possible?" he thought. "Such a thing has never happened from ancient times until now!"

"Even if the Emperor Lord were to revive," he pondered, "he could only suppress by absolute combat power. How can this be happening?"

The cauldron glowed intensely. Ye Fan himself also sensed this change, discovering that various scriptures and laws were beginning to merge. Especially those secret arts capable of countering the Secret of Movement, such as the Unstarting Scripture, drew power from the cauldron, pushing some beams of Light of Time back to their origin. The Myriad Transformation Divine Art did likewise, diluting Yun Geng's brilliant rain of light.

Ye Fan realized that "furnace cultivating myriad scriptures" was actually evolving the secret of the Chaos Body, allowing one to absorb myriad Daos, melting them into a single furnace to become one's own divine laws and power.

This place was shattered, cosmic galaxies reduced to utterly dilapidated stellar ruins. The Myriad Materials Cauldron above Ye Fan's head was riddled with holes, yet his eyes glowed intensely.

He formed the "Zou" (Time) seal with his left hand and the "Yu" (Space) seal with his right, exerting his utmost to draw upon the power of the great universe.

An astonishing change occurred once again. Time energy gathered like clouds in Ye Fan's left hand, while spatial energy surged in his right. With Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao on one side and the shattered void on the other, he moved heaven and earth, incorporating all of these into himself.

The four directions and up and down are called "Yu" (Space); past and present are called "Zou" (Time).

Ye Fan used his right hand with the "Yu" seal to swallow the shattered void, and his left hand with the "Zou" seal to draw temporal power, allowing the two to merge and form a divine law cauldron outside his body.

Myriad laws boiled, and this place became increasingly intense, as a sea of divine power surged upwards.

"You junior dare to use me!" Yun Geng roared in fury.

The power of time played a lesser role now, as a portion of it was absorbed and integrated into the viscous divine law swamp outside Ye Fan's body.

This was mainly due to the immense effect of the Unstarting Art, Myriad Transformation Divine Art, and Ye Fan's "Zou" seal, which guided the temporal divine laws to join in, making this place like the creation of heaven and earth.

Various laws manifested, and the chaotic energy here grew increasingly dense. Finally, the law cauldron outside Ye Fan's body actually began to transform into chaos, engulfing myriad laws.

Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao gasped. "Is this truly going to form a Chaos Body?" he thought. He had made this conjecture upon first seeing it, and now it seemed it would come true!

Sounds of shock and doubt emanated from several major restricted life zones. The Chaos Body's bloodline power was heaven-defying; apart from the Congenital Sacred Body Dao Fetus, there was almost no one comparable. Once it appeared, even Supremes would be wary, as all kinds of divine art attacks were almost ineffective against it. It could engulf the Eight Desolations and encompass all laws of the universe!

Everyone gasped, ancient Supremes no exception. A Chaos Body once appeared in the Mythological Era, stirring up boundless, earth-shaking waves even before achieving Dao.

Was Ye Fan truly going to evolve into a Chaos Body through cultivation? This was everyone's question, and at this moment, they were incredibly shocked, the ancient Supremes in the restricted zones shooting out divine light from their eyes.

Ye Fan himself was a bit confused. How did "furnace cultivating myriad scriptures" lead to this stage? He was meant to comprehend myriad laws and ultimately transcend; Chaos was not his Dao, so how could this be happening?

Suddenly, he was alarmed, sensing something was wrong. Not only were myriad laws merging, slowly transforming into a chaotic cauldron, but he himself was also returning to nothingness, transforming into chaos again.

"This is not my method," he exclaimed, waking up with a start. "It wants to turn me into a part of the laws of heaven and earth. This is not my Dao!"

His Dao was transcendence, a path of defiance, breaking free from the shackles of the entire universe. It was destined from the moment of his Immortal Third Dao Severing.

Chaos was not his Dao; this path was meant to make him return to this world, melting into a part of the universe.

"I must break free and transform to the extreme from within chaos," Ye Fan realized. "Otherwise, sooner or later, I will destroy myself on this path!"

However, for now, he had to walk this path, moving towards chaos, for the moment of ultimate transformation and leap had not yet arrived.

This was a difficult immortal path; one could fall at any moment, and a slight misstep would lead to eternal damnation!

Ye Fan understood, and his heart gradually calmed. This was something that required long years of consideration; for now, it was not that urgent. He could draw closer to chaos, moving towards it.

At this moment, this dangerous transformation was an effective means of dealing with Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao.

Yun Geng fought fiercely, holding the Immortal Tear Green Gold Vase and empowering his own techniques, spewing out intense beams of light that submerged Ye Fan, but the effect grew increasingly weaker.

Gradually, half an hour passed. Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao grew anxious, as he had not expected the battle to last this long. His ultimate sublimation consumed too much energy, making it difficult to sustain for much longer.

By now, he could no longer gain an advantage. The chaotic cauldron outside Ye Fan's body grew increasingly solid, absorbing the Light of Time and making it difficult to completely destroy.

Although Ye Fan, within the swamp of laws, was covered in wounds and had suffered one heavy blow after another during the past half hour—even exploding with the light cocoon several times—he endured it.

Ye Fan began to counterattack. Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao's extreme speed was no longer effective against him, and opportunities to wound him became increasingly rare.

People sighed. When the battle reached this point, everyone knew that Ye Fan had turned the tide; Yun Geng could not last much longer and was bound to be defeated.

"What a pity," Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao sighed, "I am old and frail. Otherwise, even if a Chaos Body came, I would still kill it without fail!"

He could no longer hold on; the state after ultimate sublimation was difficult to maintain, and he was about to fall.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan charged, unleashing myriad laws. The chaotic cauldron vibrated, striking Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao. In a fierce collision, Yun Geng's body cracked all over; he coughed up large amounts of blood and was sent flying.

"Pursue the Dao, chase immortals, demand of the heavens whether eternity is possible—The River of Time appears!" Exalted Celestial Xiaoyao roared, light submerging the universe.

This was his final strike; the battle was about to conclude.
