Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 599: Eternal Chaos Heaven Lock Array

The white radiance stabilized completely, revealing the enormous array that materialized before Grey, Alan, and Alissa. The formation spanned several kilometers in diameter, dominating the entire space around them. Tens of thousands of runes continuously orbited one another in complex patterns, every rune changing position every few seconds.

Countless streams of Chaos State Power flowed between them like glowing rivers, creating a mesmerizing display of power.

The surrounding reality continued glitching violently, making the formation appear as though it existed outside normal space. Fragments of the world flickered in and out of existence, but the array remained perfectly stable. It looked ancient beyond measure, yet functioned with flawless precision.

Alan slowly raised his head toward the enormous formation, his mouth opening slightly.

”What is this thing?”

”I’ve seen formations before, but this is completely different.”

Alissa unconsciously stepped behind Grey, every instinct in her body screaming danger. Even without understanding formations, she could sense the overwhelming threat radiating from it.

”Those symbols are moving,” she whispered.

”No, they’re alive.”

She noticed that every time she tried focusing on a single rune, it had already transformed into another. The constant shifting made her dizzy, like trying to track a thousand butterflies at once.

”How can anyone understand something like this?”

Alan let out a dry laugh.

”I don’t even know where to start looking.”

Grey did not respond immediately, instead he narrowed his eyes. His brows slowly furrowed as he studied the formation, unlike Alan and Alissa, he was not looking at the entire structure. He tracked every node individually, every movement, every rotation, every flow of Chaos Axiom Energy.

Grey’s expression gradually became more serious.

”Interesting, this is far beyond an ordinary sealing formation,” he thought.

Grey slowly walked closer, the familiar aura growing stronger with each step. The Chaos Axiom Energy inside his body began resonating on its own, his Chaos Lotus slowly starting to rotate. Grey immediately recognized the aura flowing through the formation.

”There’s no mistake, this belongs to the Chaos Emperor.”

Grey had studied many remnants left behind by the Chaos Emperor throughout his previous life. Although he had never seen this exact formation before, the signature of the Chaos Axiom was unmistakable. The energy pattern was identical to the fragments he discovered years ago.

As Grey continued observing the formation, the Chaos Lotus began glowing brighter. System notifications appeared before his eyes.

[Your Comprehension defies the heaven! By observing a complex array, you’ve gained insight into its name]

Countless ancient symbols began flooding Grey’s mind, overwhelming his senses.

He did not instantly understand the formation itself, instead he first comprehended its true name.

[Eternal Chaos Heaven Lock Array]

Grey quietly repeated the name. ”Eternal Chaos Heaven Lock Array...”

Alan looked over curiously. ”You know what it is, Master?”

Grey shook his head. ”Only its name, nothing more.”

Grey slowly circled the formation, stopping every few seconds to observe a different section. He did not rush, taking his time to analyze every detail carefully. The complexity was staggering, far beyond anything he had encountered before.

Grey noticed exactly 10,368 outer Chaos Nodes rotating in seemingly random patterns. However after several minutes of careful observation, Grey discovered that every node followed a repeating mathematical cycle.

”Not random, every thirteen rotations the sequence repeats,” he thought.

Hidden beneath the first layer was another network entirely, every outer node was secretly connected to twelve inner nodes. The moment one outer node changed position, all twelve connected nodes immediately shifted. This created millions of possible combinations, making brute force methods completely useless.

”Layered synchronization,” Grey muttered.

Grey noticed that the formation was intentionally creating false cores, every few hundred meters there appeared to be another central node. However every one of them was fake, designed to mislead anyone attempting to break the array.

”Decoys, someone deliberately hid the true core.”

Grey closed his eyes, instead of observing with sight, he began using his Source. Source allowed him to perceive the flow of laws themselves, he no longer saw runes. Instead he saw threads of Chaos Laws connecting every node, there were over one hundred thousand law threads. Each one overlapped another in impossibly intricate patterns.

Alan finally asked. ”Can you break it?”

Grey smiled faintly. ”Eventually.”

”This isn’t a single formation, it’s thousands of formations stacked together.”

”Every layer protects the one beneath it until only the true core remains.”

Grey calmly replied. ”No, he was a genius.”

Grey suddenly noticed something hidden beneath the outer layers, his expression becoming serious.

”I see.”

But Grey was still in deep thought. Seeing this Alissa spoke up.

”What’s wrong?”

”This isn’t simply a lock.” Grey explained carefully.

”Break a single node incorrectly, every layer will collapse.”

”The Chaos Laws inside will reverse, the resulting explosion would instantly erase everything within the radius of this universe.”

”Even an ordinary Tenth Rank cultivator wouldn’t survive.”

”But i should be able to do something.”

Grey sat cross-legged before the formation, the Chaos Lotus continuing to spin. Source slowly spread through the array like invisible threads, he did not attempt to destroy it. Instead he reconstructed the entire formation inside his Sea of Consciousness, every node, every connection, every hidden law, every false pathway, every energy cycle.

This process alone took considerable time.

Grey finally opened his eyes after what felt like hours.

”Found it.”

He extended one finger, a thread of Source gently touching a single Chaos Node. Instead of destroying it, he rotated the node exactly ninety degrees. Nothing happened immediately, the formation remained unchanged.

Alan became confused. ”That’s all?”

Grey smiled. ”Watch carefully.”

Several thousand surrounding nodes instantly shifted position, clicking into new arrangements. The first layer quietly unlocked without any fanfare, Grey had not broken the formation. He simply convinced it that the first layer had already been solved.

Grey continued dismantling the formation through intelligence rather than force, sometimes he paused for several minutes before making another move. Occasionally he retracted his hand after discovering another hidden trap, every successful move caused thousands of runes to rearrange themselves. Alan and Alissa remained completely silent, afraid that even speaking might interrupt Grey’s concentration.

Layer after layer fell away under Grey’s careful manipulation.

After dismantling numerous layers, Grey finally reached what appeared to be the final one.
