System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

273: Chaos without limit, the sword that opens the heavens”Void Abyss... your end... has come!”

Ye Chen’s voice was calm, yet it was like the first thunderclap at the dawn of Chaos, exploding within the shattered Chaotic Sea of Time and Space. The simple longsword in his hand trembled slightly. Upon the blade, the four types of Origin Dao patterns—Chaos, Return to Silence, Order, and Creation—flowed incessantly, finally converging into a return-to-basics Chaos dark-gold luster.

Facing that sky-covering giant claw of the Abyssal Lord, which burned with eternal demonic flames and carried a will to annihilate all things, Ye Chen did not dodge or block. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand, which held the sword.

The movement seemed slow, yet it felt as if it pulled the Laws of the entire Chaotic Sea of Time and Space along with it! The dark-gold Chaos Origin aura around him was no longer restrained; instead, like a prehistoric giant beast that had slumbered for eons, it suddenly awakened and swept outward!

”Hum—!”

With Ye Chen as the center, the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space for ten thousand miles around suddenly froze! The violent spatial storms subsided, the distorted temporal faults were smoothed over, and the raging energy vortices detoured like gentle streams! A Chaos Limitlessness Concept that transcended all Laws, as if from the very birth of the Universe, permeated every inch of the Void Realm!

The descending giant claw of the Abyssal Lord was suddenly obstructed within this abrupt Chaos Limitlessness Domain! The demonic flames at the tips of the claws, capable of annihilating stars, flickered violently and dimmed as if they had met their natural enemy! The Abyss rules flowing upon the giant claw, representing ’Ultimate Void,’ clashed fundamentally with the Chaos Origin around Ye Chen, which embraced and evolved all things!

”Chaos... Limitlessness?!” Behind the giant claw, from the depths of the shattered space-time, the Abyssal Lord’s true body let out a cry of shock and fury filled with disbelief. ”You can actually touch this realm?! Impossible!”

It could feel that although the energy level of the aura Ye Chen exuded might not yet match the billions of years of foundation condensed in its combat form, in essence, he already stood on the same level as it. He even... faintly carried an embracing and evolving characteristic that countered its ’Ultimate Void’!

”All things in the world exist within Chaos. Your void is merely an aspect of Chaos that has not yet evolved.” Ye Chen’s gaze was calm, as if he were stating a simple truth. Within him, the three source cores formed a stable triangular structure like the cornerstones of a Universe, providing him with nearly infinite Origin power and allowing his understanding of the Dao of Chaos to reach an unprecedented height.

He no longer needed to deliberately mimic ’Limitlessness,’ because he himself, at this moment, was Chaos, the very manifestation of Limitlessness!

”Arrogant! Even if you have touched this realm, your accumulation is too shallow! Perish for this seat!” The Abyssal Lord roared. The stalled giant claw once again erupted with heaven-shaking demonic might, forcibly tearing through the frozen space-time and accelerating its descent! Wherever the wind from the claw passed, all things returned to ruins, and even Concepts were erased!

However, Ye Chen’s sword also moved at that moment.

He did not perform any flashy Moves. He simply thrust his sword forward toward the descending giant claw, toward the hidden true body of the Abyssal Lord behind it, toward this Ancient Path space-time eroded by the Abyss, and toward the endless future and hope.

”Chaos—Heaven Opening.”

This strike had no brilliance, no sound, and not even any energy fluctuations.

But at the moment the sword tip thrust out, the space-time that had been torn by the Abyssal Lord’s giant claw and returned to void felt as if a singularity had been cast into it!

Immediately following—

”BOOM!!!!!!”

A scene beyond words occurred!

Where the sword tip pointed, the Chaos Qi separated into clear and turbid! The clear Qi rose, evolving into the sun, moon, stars, and the firmament of the heavens! The turbid Qi sank, condensing into mountains, rivers, and the thick earth! The power of return to silence defined the boundaries, giving stars a lifespan and all things an end! The power of order established the framework, making the star rivers rotate and the Laws orderly! The power of creation bestowed vitality, making plants sprout and life flourish!

This single sword strike actually seemed to forcibly open a nascent, perfect world containing infinite possibilities and hope within the absolute void and deathly silence!

The rules of this nascent world formed the ultimate opposition and conflict with the ’void’ rules of the Abyss!

”Chiii chiii chiii—!”

When the Abyssal Lord’s giant claw, which contained the power of Ultimate Void, touched the edge of this nascent world, it was like a red-hot iron meeting ten-thousand-year profound ice, emitting sounds of violent erosion and melting! That nascent world constantly collapsed and returned to ruins under the crushing weight of the giant claw, but the Chaos derivative power within it, supported by order and creation, constantly underwent Rebirth and expansion!

Life and death, creation and destruction—at the intersection of the sword tip and the claw tip, the most fundamental and intense collision of Laws in the Universe was being staged!

”ROAR!!!”

The Abyssal Lord let out a roar of pain! It felt its invincible void power meeting a true nemesis! That constantly living and dying nascent world was like an eternal grindstone, crazily wearing down and converting its power! Even more terrifyingly, that Heaven-Opening Chaos Concept began to inversely erode its will, causing its eternal ’void’ Dao Heart to suffer a hint of... wavering!

”Impossible! This seat is the Incarnation of void, the end of all methods! How could I be countered by this nascent power?!” The Abyssal Lord was both shocked and enraged. The demonic flames atop the giant claw surged once more as it attempted to use absolute power to forcibly crush that constantly cycling world, to crush this damned bug, Ye Chen!

”Your void is the end point of deathly silence. But my Chaos is everything... including the end point, and including the starting point!” Ye Chen’s voice was like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, echoing on the level of Laws. The arm holding his sword was as steady as a rock, and the three cores within him spun madly, providing him with an inexhaustible supply of Origin power.

Under the pressure of the giant claw, the range of that nascent world continued to shrink, but the Chaos singularity at its core grew increasingly bright and solid! It was as if it were accumulating the power for a final eruption!

”It’s over.”

The color of Chaos and the four Origin Dao patterns in Ye Chen’s eyes finally merged into one, turning into a pure clarity that seemed able to pierce through eons.

His wrist moved slightly.

That nascent world, compressed to the extreme with its internal Chaos singularity too bright to look at directly, along with the longsword in his hand, pierced into... the core of the Abyssal Lord’s sky-covering giant claw!

”Chaos Return to Ruins—Genesis!”

”NO—!!!”

Amidst the Abyssal Lord’s roar of horror and disbelief—

That point of ultimate Chaos singularity... exploded within the giant claw!

It was no longer a simple cycle of life and death, but the simultaneous execution of ultimate creation and return to ruins! A miniature yet perfect world containing complete universal rules was born and expanded at the core of the Abyssal Lord’s power, only to head toward its end and collapse in the next moment! This instantaneous cycle of creation and destruction produced an unimaginable storm of rule annihilation!

”Crack... BOOM!!!”

The Abyssal Lord’s sky-covering giant claw, capable of crushing star rivers, began to shatter and disintegrate from the inside! Countless dark fragments, mixed with demonic flames and broken Laws, sprayed outward and annihilated like exploding stars! The terrifying shockwave swept through the entire Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, even blowing Qing Lin away as she watched from a distance!

”Pfft—!”

From the distant depths of space-time came a muffled groan of pain from the Abyssal Lord’s true body, clearly showing it had been heavily wounded!

Ye Chen stood with his sword. His face was slightly pale, and his aura had weakened considerably. That previous eruption of ’Heaven-Opening Chaos’ and ’Genesis’ had drained nearly half of his Origin power. However, his eyes were startlingly bright.

He had done it!

With the power of the three cores in place and the realm of Chaos Limitlessness, he had truly wounded this insufferably arrogant Abyssal Lord!

However, he also knew this was far from the end. The true body of the Abyssal Lord was powerful beyond imagination; what had just been destroyed was likely only a combat form condensed from a portion of its power.

Sure enough, behind the shattered giant claw, endless darkness gathered once more. A pair of eyes, even redder and more furious than before, like two blood moons, slowly lit up in the void, locking onto him with a death stare.

”Bug... you have thoroughly... enraged this seat...”

The Abyssal Lord’s voice was no longer cold but filled with hysterical madness and killing intent!

”Today... no matter the cost... I will... thoroughly... erase you... from space-time!”

At this moment, the entire Ancient Path space-time began to tremble and wail violently! It was as if it could not bear the impending full eruption of the true... Lord’s Wrath!

The final battle to the death had only just begun!
