Chapter 81: Chaos Returns to Truth: Asking the Dao in Anti-Void

###**I. Ice Coffin Shadow-Devouring: Ten Thousand Ashes Mourn Together**

One hundred thousand ice coffins opened simultaneously in the Devouring Dao lair. The instant the Lin Jin clones within opened their eyes, a spiritual energy storm surged through the Chaos Sea. The sugar-painting old man's sugar scoop suddenly exploded, the syrup congealing into a heaven-piercing inscription:

**"Anti-Void is not void; to ask the Dao, one must slay the puppet!"**

Lin Jin's life-bound green lotus leaped from his consciousness sea, its petals sweeping across the ice coffin cluster. A sugar-heart brand appeared on the chest of every clone, and from within the brand came Ling Yue's final transmission:

**"Jin'er, these puppet bodies were made using your umbilical cord blood from when you were born!"**

The Devouring Dao lair suddenly collapsed, the ice coffins turning into sugar water that flooded back. Lin Jin stepped onto the waves and rose, seeing three hundred bronze fate locks floating in the sugar water—each lock core engraved with the two characters "Ling Yue"!

###**II. Sugar Lock Tracing the Soul: Chaos Appears**

Lin Jin crushed a fate lock; the Primordial Pure Qi erupting from the lock core actually tore a rift in the void. From the rift poured the true scene of the Chaos Realm:

- Deep within the earth fire of the Medicine King Valley pill room, Ling Yue was sealing infant umbilical cord blood into a sugar box;

- Ao Zhan used his body as a conduit, carving the Burial Coffin Totem into the earth veins;

- The bronze coffin in the Xuantian Sect forbidden ground suddenly exploded, flying out the true Chaos Origin—it was actually a pulsing sugar heart!

"So the Chaos Realm was sugar-sculpted all along..." Lin Jin's sugar sword suddenly softened, the pine nut sugar wrapper on the sword tassel wrapping around the Chaos Origin, "Devourer of Dao, you are merely the imprisoned artifact spirit!"

###**III. Slaying the Puppet to Break the Realm: Anti-Void Initialized**

One hundred thousand clones suddenly surrounded him, the Burial Coffin patterns on their palms congealing into Devouring Dao shackles. Lin Jin drew the Chaos Origin into his body, the green lotus roots piercing the center of every clone's brow:

**"Shatter the puppet bodies, slay the delusions, ask the Dao in Anti-Void!"**

The clones exploded one after another, three hundred strands of Primordial Pure Qi rising from the syrup. The pure qi converged into a river, the surface reflecting Lin Jin's shattered dantian—the Golden Core broken, the Nascent Soul vanished, leaving only the purest Chaos vortex!

Ao Li's residual sugar soul suddenly leaped from the sword tassel, the Nirvana Fire congealing into a brand-new realm within the vortex:

**Anti-Void Realm: Chaos as the sea, asking the Dao as the boat, grasping the birth and death of the edge! **

###**IV. Sugar Boat Crossing the Sea: Old Enemies, New Traces**

The Chaos Qi congealed into a sugar boat, carrying Lin Jin toward the real Medicine King Valley. Three thousand li into the journey, a Xuantian Sect warship suddenly emerged from the sea, the "deceased" Xuantian Sect Leader standing at the bow—the Burial Coffin pattern on the back of his neck had faded, and he held Ao Li's life-bound soul lamp in his palm:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the Devourer of Dao is merely an artifact spirit refined by the Burial Coffin Clan. The true enemy..."

He crushed the soul lamp, but what erupted from the wick was not flame, but half a fragment of a sugar stele:

**"Heaven Beyond Heaven, Dao Beyond Dao. Where the sugar boat ends, only then will you see..."**

The fragment was suddenly shattered by a sugar arrow, and nine bronze gates rose from the seabed. A mechanical giant hand reached out from the gap in the gates, its fingers interlaced with the Devourer of Dao's pale palm!

###**V. New Calamity Appears: The Sugar Heart Does Not Extinguish**

The body of the mechanical giant hand's owner became clear—it was a thousand-zhang puppet pieced together from the magic artifacts of one hundred thousand cultivators, Lin Xuan's bronze heart pulsing in its chest:

"Good grandson, the Burial Coffin is merely a toy of the Heavenly Workshop. This Chaos Realm was always a sugar embryo refined from beyond the heavens!"

Lin Jin's sugar boat suddenly disintegrated, the Chaos Qi congealing into a true Anti-Void domain. Within the domain, all laws were extinguished, leaving only the sugar heart pulsing in his palm:

**"Whether you are Heavenly Workshop or Devouring Dao, I shall break ten thousand laws with a single sugar!"**

The sugar heart exploded into star rain, and from the rain walked the reincarnated Ao Li. She wore a freshly plucked sugar maple branch in her hair, the most primitive Chaos spiritual qi pulsing at her fingertips:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this time I will accompany you in dismantling this refining furnace."

###**Final Act: Sect Restart**

The mountain gate of Medicine King Valley appeared at the end of the Chaos Sea, the array eye of the guardian array actually being the sugar gourd bamboo skewer buried by Ao Zhan back then. When Lin Jin restarted the mountain gate with Chaos Qi, three hundred transmission talismans flew out from the valley:

**"Respectfully welcoming the Young Valley Master back to the sect! **

**The Nine Yi Secret Realm is about to open, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is about to appear in the world! **

**The Xuantian Sect has sent a battle challenge, the sect tournament is in three days..."**

Ao Li gently stroked the sugar maple branch, Nirvana Fire suddenly blooming on the tip: "It is time to let the world know what a true Anti-Void Realm is." ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
