System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

177: The sea eye returns, its first test of its capabilities.In the Xuanwu Secret Realm, time had no meaning.

Ye Chen floated before the majestic energy core, his mind completely immersed in cultivation. The new chaos ancestral talisman was like a bottomless pit, yet also like a highly efficient furnace, constantly devouring and refining the pure and vast Xuanwu energy. It converted it into the most primal Chaos Qi, nourishing the newborn heart of chaos.

His cultivation was steadily rising. Although he failed to directly break through the solid barrier of the Tiangang Realm, he continuously consolidated and condensed his foundation at the Peak Ninth Level of Disha Realm. His Chaos Gang Qi thickened more than several times over, and its quality underwent a qualitative leap. Under the tempering of Xuanwu’s heavy will, his Divine Sense also became as solid as a rock; though its range did not expand, the resilience and penetration of his perception far exceeded what they were before.

More importantly, his understanding of Laws such as ”Protection,” ”Heaviness,” and ”Vitality” reached a brand new height. The resonance of these rules faintly fused with his Chaos Sword Intent, granting the guixu sword a trace of mountain-like defense and continuous life force in addition to its Silence and Judgment.

By the time he had refined and absorbed about thirty percent of the Xuanwu energy in this Secret Realm, his heart of chaos had already solidified into a tangible substance. Its pulsations triggered a resonance in the surrounding space. He felt as if he had touched a thread of the spatial fabric; although he could not truly control it yet, he could already perform the most rudimentary applications.

At that moment, the massive energy core that had been pulsing slowly suddenly burst with light! On the core’s surface, the network of ”vessels” composed of light flowed rapidly, finally converging at a single point directly in front of the core!

”Buzz—!”

A vortex portal made of pure white light, just large enough for one person to pass through, slowly emerged in the Void Realm. Inside the portal was not a physical scene, but a swirling, deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light, emitting heart-palpitating spatial fluctuations and a Concept of all things returning to the Gui Xu.

The Gui Xu Sea Eye! The only path of survival to leave this ancient battlefield!

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, the chaotic brilliance within his pupils restrained, his aura as deep as the sea. He stood up and solemnly bowed to the massive energy core and the Xuanwu Secret Realm that had sheltered him.

”Senior, I shall remember the grace of your Protection in my heart. If I achieve success in the future, I will not fail the ambition of ’Protection’.”

In the unseen world, he seemed to feel a faint vibration from the core, carrying a sense of gratification and expectation.

No longer hesitating, he took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the white light vortex... The cold, deathly silent, and ubiquitous spatial tearing force returned, but this time, Ye Chen’s sensation was entirely different.

Having fused three ancestral rune fragments and condensed the heart of chaos, his Physical Body and Divine Soul strength had undergone earth-shattering changes. The spatial turbulence that was enough to tear apart an ordinary Peak Earth Fiend Realm Cultivator now struck his Chaos Domain, only managing to stir up layers of ripples without being able to truly shake him. He could even divide a portion of his mind to carefully perceive the unique Law Concept of ”Gui Xu” flowing within this spatial tunnel.

This was an end, a return, the ultimate destination for all things. It shared the same source as the ”Silence” in his Guixu Sword Intent, yet it was grander and more inevitable.

His mind was immersed in this Concept, and his understanding of Guixu Sword Intent deepened at an unprecedented speed. The Sword Intent was no longer merely about destruction and termination; it now carried a grand Concept of ”Reincarnation” and ”Returning to the Source.”

After traveling through the tunnel for an unknown amount of time, a speck of light finally appeared in the endless darkness ahead.

That light point rapidly expanded, eventually turning into a massive, constantly rotating exit that seemed to connect to another world!

Beyond the exit came the sound of surging water, along with a thick mist and a faint, salty scent.

Splash!
