Chapter 215: Beyond Imagination
In this sea of Chaos, besides drifting star fragments, three special beings roam: formless extradimensional heavenly demons, ferocious demon gods birthed by Chaos, and Hongmeng anomalous beasts recorded in some ancient texts.
Calling them living beings is not quite accurate; they are more like materializations of the Chaos law.
The most troublesome are the Chaos demon gods, who were born to feed on Chaos, each possessing overwhelming combat power, yet their Spiritual Intelligence remains unopened, acting solely on murderous instinct.
The colossal creature before Zhou Yi is a particularly vicious Chaos demon god, its length comparable to a star fragment, its body enveloped in a suffocating aura of destruction.
More troublesome, dozens of gray‑misty heavenly demons drift behind this demon god; these fellows are not as powerful as the demon god, but they excel at being impossible to track.
The most lethal aspect is this Chaos demon god's strength, clearly reaching the quasi‑Saint pinnacle level, making it a ruler even in the Vast Wilderness World.
No wonder the Saints set their Dao halls thirty‑three heavens away, watching these ferocious beings that attempt to assault the Vast Wilderness World day after day.
A black‑massive Chaos behemoth and a sky‑covering legion of extradimensional evil spirits form an army, sweeping toward the Vast Wilderness World.
This is Zhou Yi's first time seeing a legendary Chaos creature with his own eyes, causing him to hold his breath and focus intently.
It should be known that when Pangu Great Deity first opened the heavens and split the earth, he was also born in the Chaos Sea, essentially belonging to the Chaos race.
However, Pangu's origin is far more noble than ordinary Chaos beings; he is not only the cherished offspring of the Creation Azure Lotus, but also the creator appointed by the will of the Great Dao.
This uniquely privileged foundation makes Pangu a ruler‑like presence in the Chaos Sea, while other of his kind lack even the right to look up.
When he swung his axe to open the heavens, the Three Thousand Great Daos Demon Lords, driven by the Heavenly Dao, came to obstruct, but were almost all slain, only Dao Ancestor Hong Yuan, that slippery big fish, escaped.
Interestingly, that Dao Ancestor seated in the Purple Sky Palace is also an ancient relic who grew up in the Chaos Sea.
Nevertheless, his fate runs counter to Heaven; not only did he evade the great calamity of opening the heavens, but also obtained the Creation Jade Disc, a primordial treasure.
No wonder he seized the initiative, becoming the first Saint of the Vast Wilderness World, and now the teacher of all immortals and the source of myriad laws.
"Tai Qing Sheng Ren sent me to the Chaos Sea, could it be just to witness these monsters?" Zhou Yi suddenly had a flash of insight.
Since receiving this mission he had been baffled, and only now, confronting the shocking scene of the Chaos behemoth, does he vaguely grasp the Saint's intention.
These Chaos beings can be called living fossils from before the world first opened; the so‑called primordial beings of the Vast Wilderness World are mere juniors before them.
If one can fathom their mysteries, perhaps one can touch the ultimate secret of the Chaos origin.
Thinking this, Zhou Yi took a deep breath and leapt to block the leading Chaos behemoth.
"Aoo!"
The mountain‑sized beast let out a roar that shattered the void, while black‑misty extradimensional heavenly demons swarmed forward from behind.
These formless evil entities excel at corrupting hearts; Zhou Yi instantly felt countless desires and distracting thoughts surge at the bottom of his mind.
Realistic phantasms flickered before Zhou Yi's eyes; an ordinary person would have been dragged into the abyss long ago.
But he had once endured the trial of the Mixed‑Origin He Lu Grand Array; his Dao heart is like refined black iron forged for millennia, and the petty heavenly demons cannot move it a fraction.
"Hmph!" With a low snort, formless ripples burst outward from his body.
After years of arduous pre‑scripture secret cultivation, his primordial spirit had already solidified; the mental pressure that erupted now was like a hurricane sweeping leaves, instantly turning the myriad extradimensional heavenly demons to ash.
This attack completely enraged the massive shadow deep within the Chaos.
The sky‑blocking demon god swam through the Chaos Sea like a swift shark, and in the blink of an eye was upon Zhou Yi.
Facing the mountain‑sized body crashing toward him, the floating bronze ancient bell above Zhou Yi suddenly emitted a surge of blue light; the Chaos aura flowing over the bell's surface collided with the demon god with a boom.
"Boom!" A deep rumble spread through the void. Unexpectedly, the seemingly cumbersome ancient bell actually hurled the demon god entirely. Zhou Yi pressed the advantage, the bell, sheathed in the power of the law, struck again, and the second collision made the demon god tumble repeatedly in the air.
"This creature's bodily strength actually exceeds that of the ancestral wizard?" Zhou Yi thought, surprised.
His two prior attacks were unreserved; even a quasi‑Saint pinnacle ancestral wizard should have shown cracks.
Yet this Chaos demon god was merely pushed back, its surface bearing not even a scratch, and instead grew even more ferocious.
As one who has cultivated the Saint Body to consummation, Zhou Yi has considerable insight into the Way of the flesh.
In the Vast Wilderness World, the ancestral wizard's flesh has always been recognized as the ultimate, but this comparison now reveals that the Chaos demon god's bodily strength belongs to a higher tier that crushes it.
Just as ordinary divine artifacts cannot match celestial spirits, and celestial spirits cannot rival the level of the creation‑opening treasure, Zhou Yi's Saint Body and the Chaos demon god's flesh likewise have an essential disparity.
Discovering this gap, Zhou Yi was not discouraged; his gaze at the Chaos demon god instead ignited with fierce light.
"If I could fathom the mystery of its flesh, perhaps my Saint Body could break its limits?" the thought flashed through Zhou Yi's mind.
He knows that in the cultivation world, the ancient wild Saint Body is far from the pinnacle; top‑grade constitutions like the Chaos Body may even surpass it.
At this moment, in Zhou Yi's eyes, the once ferocious Chaos demon god suddenly seemed cute.
He deliberately used the celestial bell to restrain the raging opponent, taking the chance to closely observe its flesh structure.
As time passed, Zhou Yi gradually discovered that aside from its bronze skin and iron bones, the demon god neither mastered subtle Dao techniques nor possessed the innate divine abilities of the ancestral wizard, relying solely on an invincible shell forged by Chaos Qi.
"What else exists in the Chaos Sea besides Chaos Qi? They feed on Chaos, and their bodies have long merged with Chaos."
After Zhou Yi grasped the key, he hit a snag; if even a quasi‑Saint pinnacle cannot refine Chaos Qi, how could he emulate it?
A sudden flash of insight: "The demon god's power is only at the quasi‑Saint pinnacle; if it can achieve it, why can't I?"
After adjusting his mindset, he focused on studying the pattern of energy flow within the Chaos demon god.
Fortunately, the opponent's Spiritual Intelligence remains unopened, knowing only mindless brute attacks, which gave Zhou Yi ample research opportunity.
There is no day‑night cycle in Chaos; by the time Zhou Yi finally grasped the method, the two had already exchanged tens of thousands of rounds. Looking at the still‑roaring Chaos demon god, a smile lifted Zhou Yi's lips.
This opportunity has materialized.
"Yin and Yang give birth to Chaos; the profound mystery of Heaven and Earth's creation truly exceeds imagination!" Zhou Yi's voice trembled with uncontainable excitement.
At this moment the restrained Chaos deity is useless, and Zhou Yi is too lazy to waste effort. He flicks his hand and summons the Primordial Treasure He Tu Luo Shu.
This was originally the treasure of Demon Emperor Qu, now bearing his seal.
The instant the mysterious array diagram unfolded, the Chaos deity fell like a moth into a spiderweb.
No matter how formidable its flesh, under the pressure of the Primordial Treasure it ultimately becomes a lamb awaiting slaughter.
In less than half a incense stick's time, this ancient being became a fish trapped in the scroll's net.
