System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

216: Astrological chart recognizes its master, the shadow of oversight.The blasphemer who steals authority... following... the ancient contract... I shall... purify you!

The cold electronic voice echoed through the spherical space like a final judgment.

The giant shadow, composed of pure energy and seemingly formed from countless cold eyes, emitted a pressure that was more ancient and terrifying, surpassing that of the outpost itself!

It was not a physical entity, but rather an ultimate program preset here to guard the myriad laws star disk, or perhaps... a Shadow of Surveillance!

Meanwhile, countless energy chains extending from the void, inscribed with Chaos-suppressing runes, swarmed like sharks smelling blood, instantly sealing off all space for Ye Chen to dodge, winding toward him with a terrifying aura that imprisoned and purified all Chaos power!

A crisis!

A crisis far more bizarre than facing the Earth-Devouring Insect Tide or even the Star Devouring Ancient Dragon!

This attack targeted the very root of his power—the chaos ancestral talisman!

Purify me?

With just a remnant program?!

Ye Chen’s eyes flared with cold light; far from retreating, he ignited an overwhelming Battle Intent!

He could sense that while this Shadow of Surveillance and the energy chains were terrifying, their power did not seem infinite, but rather relied on the outpost’s residual energy and some ancient contractual rules.

As long as the power was strong enough, even rules could be broken!

The chaos ancestral talisman is the source of myriad laws!

How could it be imprisoned by you dead things?!

He let out a long roar, and within his Qi Sea, the chaos ancestral talisman, which had just fused with the source core, erupted with unprecedented, brilliant radiance!

A force of Chaos Origin, as if capable of splitting heaven and earth and stabilizing the Grandmist, awakened with a boom like a dragon that had slept for eons!

He held nothing back, driving his power at the Peak of the Tiangang Realm to the limit, pouring the Great Accomplishment Nirvana Sword Intent, the prototype of the Life and Death Sword Domain, the Space Annihilation Law, and that newborn, more majestic and sharp Chaos power all into the guixu sword!

The guixu sword emitted an unbearable buzzing sound, and on the blade, gray, white, green, and chaotic four-colored lights swirled, intertwined, and fused frantically!

A terrifying Sword Intent that seemed to end everything, yet also seemed to evolve all things, rising above existing rules, soared into the sky!

One Sword—Chaos Opens!

Ye Chen held the sword with both hands and slashed fiercely toward the countless energy chains winding toward him and the Shadow of Surveillance condensing in the star map, unleashing the strongest sword strike he was currently capable of!

No sound, no explosion.

There was only a gray sword qi, seemingly composed of chaotic airflow, within which the birth and death of worlds and the Reincarnation of stars were enacted, pushing forward silently like a blade of creation swung by a creator god!

Wherever the sword qi passed, the energy chains containing Chaos-suppressing runes, as if encountering their ultimate nemesis, saw their runes instantly dim and shatter.

The chains themselves melted and disintegrated rapidly like snow under the sun, failing to offer even a shred of resistance!

The sword qi remained undiminished, slashing directly into the vast star map, striking toward the Shadow of Surveillance composed of countless cold eyes!

Rule... error... power level... exceeds calculation... initiating... ultimate annihilation program...

The Shadow of Surveillance emitted intermittent electronic noise tinged with disbelief.

Its energy-composed body fluctuated violently, and countless eyes lit up with blinding red light simultaneously.

A destructive energy, as if intending to return even this space to nothingness, began to gather frantically at its core!

It wanted to self-destruct!

To annihilate the myriad laws star disk and the entire spherical space along with it!

Want to perish together?

Too late!

Ye Chen’s eyes were cold as he pointed his sword finger forward sharply!

Space—Annihilation!

Imprison!

The Space Annihilation Law rune branded in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly flared!

It was not used for attack, but acted upon the spatial structure where the star map was located!

Crack!

A sound like glass shattering rang out!

In the area centered on the Shadow of Surveillance, the spatial structure was instantly and forcibly frozen and annihilated!

All energy flow, information transmission, and even the passage of time were forcibly interrupted and imprisoned at this moment!

The ultimate annihilation energy about to erupt was like a pause button being pressed, solidified within the body of the Shadow of Surveillance, unable to spread or be retracted!

And the Chaos Opening sword qi that Ye Chen had slashed out swept past the Shadow of Surveillance, which was imprisoned by the power of Space Annihilation, without any obstruction!

Ssh...

Like a breeze brushing over a sand sculpture, the condensed, cold Shadow of Surveillance, along with the terrifying annihilation energy within its body, silently disintegrated and dissipated under the sword qi containing the Chaos Origin and Nirvana Sword Intent, eventually turning into the most basic particles, assimilated and absorbed by the surrounding chaotic airflow.

The star map flickered violently a few times before returning to calm.

The cold electronic voice also disappeared completely.

In the spherical space, only Ye Chen’s slightly rapid breathing remained, along with the myriad laws star disk floating above the star map, rotating quietly.

Success!

He had forcibly broken through the ultimate defense of this outpost with absolute power!

He calmed his churning blood and Qi; that sword strike had drained most of his power, but the effect was significant.

He flew slowly toward the myriad laws star disk.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the miraculous nature of the star disk.

Its entire body was like the purest crystal, and the billions of stars inside were not static, but moving according to some profound Dao trajectory, as if a miniaturized, living Universe were sealed within it.

And the chaotic-colored point of light constantly flickering at the center of the star disk resonated strongly with the chaos ancestral talisman in Ye Chen’s Qi Sea.

He reached out his hand and touched the myriad laws star disk carefully.

No rejection, no attack.

The moment his fingertip touched the surface of the cold star disk—

Hum!

The myriad laws star disk shook violently, and the chaotic point of light at its center suddenly erupted, turning into a stream of light that instantly submerged into Ye Chen’s glabella, establishing a direct connection with the chaos primordial fetus in his Sea of Consciousness and the chaos ancestral talisman in his Qi Sea!

A vast stream of information like a sea of smoke instantly flooded into Ye Chen’s mind!

This time, it was not an ancient secret, but instructions on how to use this myriad laws star disk, and... a clearer, more expansive—Map of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds!

Within the star map, several coordinates flickering with faint chaotic light points were marked!

Those were the approximate locations where other ancestral rune fragments might exist!

Although still blurry, compared to the aimless sensing from before, it was already a world of difference!

Meanwhile, Ye Chen felt a close connection, as if connected by flesh and blood and linked by mind, established between himself and this myriad laws star disk.

The star disk seemed to have become a part of his body; with a thought, he could perceive the subtle changes in the vast star map within the star disk, and could even vaguely use the power of the star disk to perceive spatial fluctuations and energy flows at extremely long distances.

This myriad laws star disk was not just a compass, but a supreme treasure for auxiliary Cultivation and exploring the Void Realm!

With a thought, he tried to activate the myriad laws star disk.

Radiance flowed on the surface of the star disk, the billions of stars inside accelerated their movement, and an invisible fluctuation carrying spatial coordinate information spread out from him toward the endless void.

A moment later, on the star disk, a coordinate relatively close to his current position, flickering with a relatively bright chaotic light point, was clearly marked!

At the same time, a brief piece of information regarding the coordinate also surfaced in his mind:

Shattered Star Ring, Ancient River of Buried Stars... suspected residue of ’Power’ authority...

Shattered Star Ring?

Ancient River of Buried Stars?

Power authority?

Ye Chen’s gaze narrowed.

This was undoubtedly his next clear target!

Just as he was immersed in the joy of obtaining the star disk and clarifying his target, an abnormality occurred again!

It did not come from the outside, but originated from the chaos ancestral talisman within his Qi Sea!

Stimulated by successfully collecting the myriad laws star disk and sensing the coordinates of other fragments, the chaos ancestral talisman, which had fused with the source core, seemed to have finally completed a certain key transformation!

Boom—!

A majestic will, far more vast and ancient than before, as if carrying all the secrets of the Universe, slowly and completely... awakened from the depths of the ancestral talisman!

A vague, majestic, yet weary and vicissitudinous thought, as if traversing eons of time and space, echoed directly in the depths of Ye Chen’s Soul:

Inheritor... thou hast... initially gathered... My ’Heart’ and ’Eye’...

...The true test... is about to... arrive...

...The gaze of ’Them’... has already... been cast...

...Hasten to... the Wall of Origin...

...There... lies the truth... thou needest to know... as well as... the final... battlefield...

The thought stopped abruptly, as if it had exhausted its last bit of strength.

And within Ye Chen’s Qi Sea, the light of the chaos ancestral talisman gradually converged, but its form became more ancient and profound, like a chaotic strange stone that had experienced the creation of the world, floating quietly and echoing with the myriad laws star disk.

Ye Chen stood in place, his mind shaken, speechless for a long time.

Heart and Eye?

Does it refer to the chaos source core and the myriad laws star disk?

The true test?

The gaze of Them?

The Wall of Origin?

The final battlefield?

Heavy terms, like boulders thrown into the lake of his heart.

The road ahead seemed to have just revealed the tip of the iceberg.

He gripped the guixu sword in his hand, his gaze looking through the transparent dome of the spherical space, toward the depths of the endless, dark starry sky.

No matter what was ahead, he could only move forward.
