System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

230: Devouring Battle, Chaotic Rebirth“Terminus Devour”!

The jet-black vortex surging from the eye-shaped crack at the core of the hive was neither energy nor matter, but a more essential power representing the core rules of the “Terminus Abyss”—the absolute negation and return to nothingness of existence!

Wherever the vortex passed, even time and space themselves seemed to be “eaten,” leaving behind eerie “void” zones where even the concept of “nothingness” ceased to exist!

Light, sound, energy, matter, and even the lines of rules that constituted the world, the moment they touched this jet-black vortex, disappeared completely as if they had never existed!

This was a power more terrifying and closer to the source than any “nothingness” attack Ye Chen had encountered before!

It was a sliver of power truly belonging to the “Terminus Abyss” itself, brought forth by the hive core burning its own essence!

Facing this “Terminus Devour,” Ye Chen’s Chaos Domain let out a groan of being overwhelmed for the first time!

The grey Chaos Qi, which should have contained all laws, began to dim and thin under the erosion of the jet-black vortex, and the phantom worlds evolving within it swayed violently like candles in the wind, as if they would shatter at any moment!

His Physical Body felt the excruciating pain of being scraped by billions of invisible files, and his Divine Soul felt as if it had been thrown into an absolute zero ice prison, his consciousness beginning to blur and detach!

This was the terrifying feeling of his existence’s Foundation being shaken!

“Chaos... shall also... return to... silence...” That cold abyss will, with absolute confidence and indifference, pronounced Ye Chen’s end.

“Return to nothingness? My Dao is existence itself!”

Under the ultimate crisis, Ye Chen’s Dao Heart was tempered to be as brilliant and firm as a diamond!

He let out a roar that seemed to originate from the depths of his Soul, completely merging his will with the completed chaos ancestral talisman and the seed of chaos at the center of his brow!

“Heart, Eye, Force, Origin! Four symbols return to their positions, Chaos—Nirvana!”

He no longer thought about defense, no longer thought about resistance, but poured all his power, all his will, and all his understanding of “existence” into this one sword, slashing towards the sweeping Terminus Devour vortex!

On the guixu sword, the original color of Chaos shone with unprecedented brilliance!

The majestic energy of the Heart’s Origin, the insight and deduction of the Eye’s Star, the shattering of all laws by the Force’s Extreme, and the repair and nourishment of the Origin’s Seed—the powers of the four authorities no longer distinguished each other, perfectly blending together to transform into a Sword Intent that seemed to reverse Karma and define existence—Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent!

This sword was no longer destruction, nor was it creation, but—the negation of negation!

It was the ultimate resistance against “returning to nothingness,” the final interpretation of the meaning of “existence”!

“Boom————————————————!”

The Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent and the Terminus Devour vortex, like two Dragons representing the fundamentally opposing rules of the Universe, collided fiercely!

There was no sound, no explosion, no energy shock.

Only two diametrically opposed “concepts” were silently annihilating, confronting, and eroding each other!

The jet-black vortex frantically devoured every concept of “existence” contained within the Sword Intent, attempting to make it vanish completely; while the Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent burned tenaciously, using its essence of inclusion, repair, and evolution to continuously redefine “existence” within the “void,” like lighting an inextinguishable fire in absolute darkness!

This was a war of rules at the most fundamental level, surpassing the level of matter and energy!

Ye Chen felt his will being crushed between the grindstones of the Universe’s birth and end, with extreme pain and extreme enlightenment emerging alternately!

He saw the glory of the Universe’s explosion from a singularity, and the sorrow of all things reaching heat death; he saw the splendor of life blooming, and the sigh of civilizations perishing... All memories and insights about “existence” became fuel supporting this Nirvana Sword Intent!

And in that Terminus Devour vortex, for the first time, a trace of... fluctuation appeared in its cold will?

It seemed unable to understand why, in the face of the abyss rules destined to head towards absolute “nothingness,” there would be such a tenacious, such a fiery will that firmly believed “existence” itself was the meaning!

“Crack...”

A faint but clear cracking sound came from the center of the jet-black vortex!

The meaning of absolute negation and absolute devouring, under the impact of the ceaseless, negation-of-negation Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent, actually developed an irreparable crack!

“Im... pos... sible...” The abyss will emitted an unbelievable fluctuation, mixed with anger and a trace of fear.

“Nothing is impossible!” Chaos light burst from Ye Chen’s eyes, pouring his final strength, along with his obsession to protect Jian Ling’er, the Ye family, and everything he cared about in this place, into the Sword Intent!

“I think, therefore I am! My sword—therefore the Dao exists!”

“Boom—!!!”

The Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent was like being injected with final firewood, its brilliance surging, instantly overpowering the jet-black Terminus Devour vortex!

Wherever the Sword Intent passed, the “void” zone swallowed by the vortex was forcibly redefined, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind, giving birth to miniature stars and phantoms of life!

Although it was only a fleeting moment, it symbolized the victory of “existence” over “returning to nothingness”!

“Puff—!”

Like a bubble bursting, the Terminus Devour vortex containing the abyss Origin, under the ultimate impact of the Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent, collapsed with a roar, turning into countless jet-black fragments, which were then completely purified and devoured by the surrounding surging Chaos Qi!

“Awoo—!!!”

The hive core let out a shrill, extreme scream; the dark red tumor shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, its surface eye-shaped cracks filled with fractures, and finally completely shattered!

The abyss power it burned its Origin to summon was defeated, causing irreversible backlash to itself!

And Ye Chen’s Chaos Nirvana Sword Intent, with its remaining momentum, mercilessly and completely engulfed the hive core that had lost all protection and was twitching frantically!

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!”

The pure and majestic Chaos power, like the hottest flame, burned, decomposed, and refined the vast energy and twisted devouring rules contained within the hive core!

The hive core let out a final unwilling groan, finally stopped beating completely, and turned into a mass of extremely pure Origin energy, yet containing chaotic devouring intent!

Ye Chen reached out and grabbed, forcibly taking this mass of Origin energy that had lost its will-dominance.

The chaos ancestral talisman operated spontaneously, especially the “Origin” fragment which shone brightly, beginning to grind, purify, and absorb this energy like a millstone, stripping away the Chaos and devouring intent, leaving only the purest rule Origin and energy.

A warm current, far larger than any previous harvest, surged into Ye Chen’s limbs and bones, repairing his injuries that had almost collapsed while resisting the Terminus Devour, nourishing his dried-up Protective Aura and Divine Soul, and further pushing his Chaos Domain and understanding of rules toward a brand-new level!

Although he was still at the ninth level of the Tiangang Realm, after experiencing this head-on collision with the abyss rules and winning, the stability of his Dao Foundation, the firmness of his will, and the depth of his understanding of the Chaos Dao had truly qualified him to impact the supreme “Law Realm”!

As the hive core was destroyed, the huge meat blanket covering the entire Seventh Outpost, like a body that had lost its brain, instantly stopped wriggling and attacking, and began to wither, decompose, and dissipate as basic energy particles in the time-space turbulence at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those crazy predators, like puppets with their strings cut, stiffened and fell one after another, quickly annihilated by the energy turbulence generated when the meat blanket decomposed.

The desperate situation... was resolved!

Above the fortress, the Bedrock Giants who were fighting bloody battles with the remaining predators, looking at the rapidly receding dark red tide, looking at the figure standing in the air with a sword, surrounded by Chaos aura like a god, were stunned for a moment, then erupted into earth-shattering cheers of joy for surviving the disaster!

“We... held on!”

“The hive... was destroyed!”

“Long live the Chaos Walker...!”

Commander Rock Mountain thrust the battle flag deep into the top of the fortress, his huge rock body trembling slightly with excitement, and his gaze towards Ye Chen was full of endless gratitude and awe.

Ye Chen slowly descended from the air and returned to the top of the fortress.

His face was slightly pale, his aura somewhat disordered, but his eyes were deeper and brighter.

He looked at Xi, who was being supported by the giant priest and looking at him with tears in her eyes, and then at the excited Rock Mountain, and nodded slightly.

“I did not fail the mission.”

He did not say much, sat cross-legged, and began to operate his Cultivation Technique with all his might, digesting and absorbing the vast energy brought by the hive core, and consolidating the endless insights from the life-and-death duel just now.

In this battle, he not only saved the Seventh Outpost, but also defeated a sliver of abyss rules at the level of will, allowing his Chaos Dao to truly begin to bloom with the brilliance belonging to its Origin.

And the journey of the Ancient Path of Origin had only just begun.

He felt that deeper in the Ancient Path, there were more challenges and more secrets waiting for him.
