Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

And opposite Zhen Yuanzi, the true main force of the Chaos Alien Species Camp was entrenched.

There were no fewer than five Chaos Giant Beasts, each one's body type only larger, not smaller, than that lion giant beast seen before in the Outer Perimeter.

But in the Chaos Core Region, Chaos Giant Beasts were merely the backbone; what truly made one suffocate were the two Chaos Royal Clan standing before the giant beasts.

The first Chaos Royal Clan's form resembled a giant ape, five hundred zhang in height.

Its whole body was covered in gray-white bone armor, its twin fists hanging down to its ankles, and on each fist was coiled a complete Chaos Law.

The other one's form was even more bizarre; its main body looked like a cluster of black mist constantly shifting shape, within which countless twisted faces could faintly be seen surging.

Every face was a cultivator it had devoured; all their power in life had become part of itself.

And at the very front of the two Chaos Royal Clan, a figure not particularly massive floated suspended.

Its body was only three zhang, and compared to those Chaos Giant Beasts and Royal Clan behind it that casually reached hundreds or thousands of zhang, it was tiny to the point of near insignificance.

Yet this mere three-zhang-tall figure made Zhen Yuanzi and the Gui Xu Lord's projection maintain silence simultaneously.

Entirely black-gold, the patterns on its body surface were not carved postnatally, but natural Dao marks formed by the natural precipitation of Chaos Laws upon it.

It had no concrete form; from afar it looked like some kind of humanoid contour.

The face was blank, no features, only a crack running vertically from the center of the forehead straight through to the chin; the crack's interior was deep and dark, occasionally a wisp of golden light would spill from the crack, as if an eye were opening.

Chaos Monarch!

A supreme existence of which no more than three are recorded in the entire Chaos Sea, second only to the Xian Xu Monarch among Chaos Alien Species.

"That giant ape is called Yan Shan; it is the commander of the Chaos Giant Beasts in the eastern region of the Chaos Sea!"

"That mass of black mist is called Shi Kong; it has occupied the Chaos Core Region for tens of thousands of years, and the number of cultivators it has devoured is ten times the number of participants in this Universe Tide!"

"As for that Chaos Monarch... it has no name.

Or perhaps it does, but no one knows.

Since its birth it has never left the Chaos Center, always guarding the entrance to the Xian Xu Monarch's Chaos Origin!"

Xu Zhangqing and Baili Hong landed on the Floating Island, bowing to Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, his gaze pausing on Xu Zhangqing for an instant.

Even with his unflappable temperament, at the moment of seeing him, the gaze beneath the wolf-head mask also stirred slightly.

But he said nothing more, merely shifting his gaze to the Chaos Monarch opposite.

The scene at this moment was extremely solemn.

On the Beidou Xianfu side there were Zhen Yuanzi and Baili Hong, plus the Gui Xu Lord's projection, the Ancestor Insect, Jin Que Shang Zun, and Yin Jiuchong; high-end combat power could hold the scene.

The problem was, Zhen Yuanzi could not act.

He cultivated the Time Law; once he used even a trace of fluctuation brought by the Time Law in the Chaos Center, the Xian Xu Monarch slumbering in the depths would sense it.

The Xian Xu Monarch was neither Chaos Royal Clan nor Chaos Monarch, but the creator of this Chaos Sea.

It could be said that all Chaos Strange Beasts were born from it.

Once awakened, the entire Chaos Sea would overturn in an instant.

And that faceless existence, the Chaos Monarch, likewise had no intention of making a move.

The sole purpose of its appearance was to restrain Zhen Yuanzi.

As long as Zhen Yuanzi did not move, it would not move.

Once Zhen Yuanzi acted, it would wage war without the slightest hesitation.

Both sides' high-end combat power was thus locked against each other; neither dared take a single step first.

Zhen Yuanzi's voice broke the silence: "Ninth Junior Brother, your Spirit Perfection realm, under the suppression of the Chaos Center, happens to sit in a position that is neither up nor down.

Neither weak enough to be easily crushed by Chaos Laws, nor strong enough to alert the Xian Xu Monarch.

Among those present, you are the most suitable to act!"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "Me?"

He truly had not expected that Zhen Yuanzi and the others, holding their ground here, were actually waiting for him.

On second thought, he understood the crux.

Among the high-end combat power present, once the law fluctuations of Void Refining stage or above erupted in the Chaos Center, they would most likely startle the Xian Xu Monarch awake.

Spirit Transformation stage law fluctuations, however, sat in a relatively safe position — neither weak enough to be directly crushed by Chaos Laws, nor strong enough to trigger the Xian Xu Monarch's vigilance.

With so many Spirit Transformation cultivators, Zhen Yuanzi specifically waited for Xu Zhangqing to come; there was only one reason.

His Spirit Transformation stage and others' Spirit Transformation stage were completely not the same thing.

Xu Ping'an stood behind Zhen Yuanzi, listening quietly all along.

Now seeing his master name his father to break the deadlock, his expression was somewhat subtle.

He had long since broken through to late Spirit Transformation, his realm not much inferior to his father's, and he cultivated the Dao Path of Time personally transmitted by Zhen Yuanzi, making him a crushed existence among peers.

But Zhen Yuanzi did not have Xu Ping'an be this game-breaker; instead he specially waited for Xu Zhangqing to come out from the Time Interstice.

Zhen Yuanzi withdrew his gaze from the Chaos Monarch opposite, his tone still bland, yet the weight in his words was not light: "High-end combat power will not lightly take the field; the Chaos Royal Clan and Chaos Monarch restrain each other with our side.

So Ninth Junior Brother, what you have to face are only Chaos Lords and Chaos Giant Beasts."

Xu Zhangqing froze: "I alone single-handedly fight five Chaos Giant Beasts?"

Those five Chaos Giant Beasts opposite, each one's peak combat power was comparable to a Mahayana Stage cultivator.

Their flesh bodies could even shatter planets.

Moreover, these fellows are descendants born of the Chaos Laws.

On their home ground they will not be suppressed; on the contrary, they will even be amplified.

The gaze beneath Zhen Yuanzi's wolf-head mask now stared straight at Xu Zhangqing: "This is a wager. The universe's tide has already reached its peak and will not last too long.

We have reached an agreement to decide victory or defeat with low-end combat strength.

If our side wins, the Chaos Species withdraw from the center, and the Beidou Xianfu gets first pick of the Supreme Treasures.

If our side loses, the Beidou Xianfu retreats to the Outer Perimeter, and the Supreme Treasures belong to the Species.

Of course, there is only one premise: we must not startle the Xianvu Lord!"

After hearing these words, the gazes of everyone present fell upon Xu Zhangqing.

The Supreme Honored of the Golden Palace stroked his white beard, a scrutinizing glint flashing in his eyes, yet he said nothing.

【69】 Yin Jiuchong leaned on his staff in silence, but the beating of that withered heart atop the staff visibly quickened a few beats.

Yin Jiuchong leaned on his cane in silence, but the beating of that withered Heart atop the cane's tip had clearly quickened by several degrees.

The Gui Xu Lord's projection still stood in place, its semi-transparent light and shadow not even flickering once, as if this wager had nothing whatsoever to do with him.

The fact indeed was so.

Regardless of win or lose, there's damn well not a bit of benefit.

The Primordial Insect stared at Xu Zhangqing, its pupils flickering, unknown what thoughts turned in its mind.

Only Baili Hong, a rare trace of worry appearing on his face: "Ninth Junior Brother, five Chaos Giant Beasts plus a Chaos Lord — this entourage is no joking matter.

Your methods are many, and you wield Creation Power, but to simultaneously handle so many big fellows, the slightest carelessness will bring major trouble.

If you feel it's not right, I and Eldest Senior Brother will think of another way."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the opposing formation, the corner of his mouth curling slightly, and spoke a sentence that stunned everyone present: "Since it's like this, I might as well undergo my tribulation right here!"
