System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

272: The source of creation, where all things return to spring.Deep within the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, that hazy emerald radiance became clearer and clearer, like the only spark of life nurtured within a hopeless darkness. Even across the endless, chaotic space-time, the majestic and vast aura of life made one’s heart sway, as if it could heal all wounds and awaken the recovery of all things.

That was the location of the third source core—the source core of creation!

However, the path leading to life was filled with the most extreme destruction!

”Roar—!”

The Abyssal Lord ”Void Abyss” had clearly realized the key point as well, and the attacks it projected across the void became more frenzied and dense than ever before! It was no longer a simple energy bombardment, but had begun to trigger riots in the Laws of the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space itself!

The void in front of Ye Chen suddenly collapsed, forming a massive black hole that swallowed everything! To his side, the flow of time instantly accelerated ten thousand times, attempting to make him age in a flash and turn into withered bones! Behind him, countless bolts of destructive lightning condensed from chaotic Laws poured down like a torrential rain!

Furthermore, the Lord’s cold and evil will directly transformed into countless twisted Abyssal Whispers, penetrating every opening of Ye Chen and Qing Lin’s Sea of Consciousness, attempting to erode their will and trigger Heart Demons to cause them to collapse from within!

”Hold fast to your Dao Heart!” Ye Chen shouted sharply, his voice like a thunderclap that shook the Divine Soul, forcibly dispersing those malicious whispers. The dark gold mark on his chest shone brilliantly as phantoms of order chains emerged around him, forcibly stabilizing the disrupted space-time Laws. He swung the long sword in his hand, and the Dark Gold Sword Energy transformed into an eternal light that tore through the chaotic sea, violently shattering the swallowing black hole in front and forcibly smoothing out the temporal turbulence at his side!

He was like a deity moving against the current; amidst the tide of destruction, he forcefully carved out a bloody path to hope for Qing Lin behind him and for the distant Emerald Forest Realm!

But the price was also immense! His recently stabilized Realm fluctuated once more, and dark gold blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth—a sign that his Origin had been shaken. Qing Lin was even more pale, relying entirely on the power Ye Chen funneled into her and her own tenacious will to stay upright.

As they drew closer to that emerald light, they could finally see it was a massive nest floating in the chaotic sea, composed of countless emerald vines and crystalline branches and leaves, resembling a beating heart of life! The source core of creation was right at the very core of that nest!

Hope was right before their eyes!

Yet the crisis behind them was also imminent!

Ye Chen could even feel a cold, massive entity full of absolute malice that was forcibly penetrating layers of spatial barriers in a manner beyond understanding, about to... truly descend here!

”There’s no time! I must get the source core first!” A flash of determination crossed Ye Chen’s eyes, and he suddenly pushed Qing Lin toward a relatively stable energy vortex nearby. ”Wait for me here!”

Before his voice had even faded, he burned a portion of his Chaos Origin, his speed soaring once again. He transformed into a resolute dark gold meteor, ignoring the Lord’s pressure behind him that was almost solidifying, as well as a torrent of destruction from the side that was enough to annihilate stars, as he crashed violently into the nest of life!

”Buzz—!”

The moment he touched the emerald light on the outer edges of the nest, a gentle yet incomparably majestic will of life enveloped him. This will was full of inclusion and compassion, completely different from the coldness of return to silence or the strictness of order. It did not reject Ye Chen; instead, it felt a strong affinity and resonance with the chaotic life force within him (originating from the Chaos Small Tree) and the aura of the other two source cores!

Meeting almost no resistance, Ye Chen penetrated the layers of vines and leaves, entering the core of the nest.

There, there were no complex structures, only a sphere of the purest emerald light that constantly changed its shape. Within the light sphere, it was as if vegetation was growing, all things were proliferating, and stars were being born... all Law Concepts related to ”life” and ”creation” flowed and played out within it.

It was indeed the source core of creation!

At the same time, within Ye Chen’s body, the powers of the source core of silence and the order origin core boiled spontaneously, and the dark gold mark on his chest sent out an incomparably eager throb! The green thread connecting them together had become solidified to the extreme at this moment!

The opportunity for the three cores to gather was right now!

Ye Chen no longer hesitated and reached out his palm, pressing it directly against the source core of creation!

”Boom—!!!”

An indescribably majestic torrent of life surged through his arm and into his body! This power was gentle and vast, completely different from the powers of silence and order he had endured before; it was not about transformation or restriction, but nourishment and completion!

Under the nourishment of this life torrent, all the internal injuries and Origin depletion left behind by his forced Fusion and successive battles were being repaired and mended at an incredible speed! Within the chaos minor world, the foot-tall small tree grew wildly, transforming into a height of thirty feet in an instant, lush with foliage. The ninth emerald leaf, symbolizing ”creation,” quietly unfurled, shining in harmony with the other eight leaves (Chaos, return to silence, Abyss Balance, order, and four leaves containing other profound Dao patterns)!

Inside the Small World, the originally grey sky was dyed with a dawn-like gold. Upon the heavy earth, mountains rose, rivers surged, and even dots of greenery began to sprout! The entire world seemed to have been injected with a Soul, evolving from a state of chaotic dead silence toward a truly perfect world!

Driven by this life Origin, his cultivation climbed once again, directly reaching the limit of the Law Realm Peak. He was only one opportunity away from stepping into that legendary... Chaos Limitlessness Realm!

As for the dark gold vortex mark on his chest, after absorbing the power of the source core of creation, the vortex at its center completely stabilized. Its color became deeper and more restrained, and as it circulated, the four Origin powers of Chaos, return to silence, order, and creation fused perfectly, forming a brand new Chaos Origin aura that stood above all Laws!

A sense of realization flooded Ye Chen’s heart.

return to silence defines the end, order establishes the framework, creation grants vitality, and Chaos... encompasses all of this and evolves all things!

The gathering of the three cores was not a simple stacking of power, but the formation of the foundation for a complete miniature universal system that could self-circulate and self-evolve!

At this moment, although his Realm had not yet broken through, his essence had already undergone a heaven-turning and earth-shaking change! He now possessed the... qualification... to face the Abyssal Lord head-on!

However, at the very same instant he preliminarily fused the source core of creation and his strength underwent a qualitative leap—

”Crack—!”

The space-time behind Ye Chen shattered completely like a mirror! A heaven-covering giant claw covered in dark red scales, burning with Eternal Demonic Flames and seemingly capable of crushing galaxies, tore through the endless void. Carrying the ultimate dead silence that could annihilate everything, it clawed... fiercely... toward Ye Chen and the Life Nest behind him!

A part of the Abyssal Lord ”Void Abyss’s” true body... or rather, its true battle form... had finally... descended!

”Insect... your farce... should come to an end!”

The cold voice, carrying absolute authority and killing intent, resounded through the entire Chaotic Sea of Time and Space!

Ye Chen turned abruptly, pulling the source core of creation—which had just completed its preliminary Fusion and was now restrained in its brilliance—into his internal Small World to form a stable triangular structure with the other two source cores. Holding his simple long sword, which had already evolved into Chaos Origin, he faced the terrifying, sky-blotting giant claw. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, only Battle Intent and coldness boiling to the extreme!

”End?” Ye Chen slowly raised his long sword, the tip pointing directly at the descending Lord. His voice was calm, yet it carried a majesty like a pronouncement:

”No, this is only the beginning.”

”Void Abyss... your doomsday... has arrived!”

The three cores are in place; Chaos begins!

The final decisive battle has officially begun!
