Chapter 997

"Swallowed?"

Mu Shenyin's expression was somewhat puzzled.

Ling Xi nodded and explained softly:

"That taboo existence's origin Dao was the Great Dao of Reincarnation."

"He swallowed and absorbed all things, converting various forms of fortune and energy into the power of reincarnation to nourish himself."

"The more powerful the origin of the one being swallowed, the greater the benefit to himself."

"Precisely because of this, many Chaos Demon Gods became stepping stones on his path to proving the Dao."

Mu Shenyin furrowed her brows, a slight anger appearing on her face.

The Great Dao is myriad and inexhaustible.

Different universes and space-times have different Daos and laws.

All living beings rely on the laws of their respective worlds to struggle across and move against the current.

But to enhance oneself by plundering the origins of others or other worlds—this cultivation method was simply too tyrannical.

The Hunyuan Relic Pearl Great World "383" had headed toward destruction precisely because of these things.

The cause was nothing more than the greed in the hearts of those who had attained the Dao.

"Is the Chaos Demon Ape you speak of also one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods?"

Mu Shenyin asked softly.

Ling Xi nodded.

Perhaps because the Chaos Demon Ape was mentioned, her emotions were slightly low.

"Many ages after I was born, the Sea of Life in the Chaos World expanded even further; the Demon Ape was born around the Sea of Life."

As an ancient existence born at the same time as Pangu, Ling Xi had come into the world earlier than other Chaos Demon Gods.

Before boundless ages, she was born in the north of the Chaos World, in the Sea of Life.

Her arrival brought vigorous vitality to the boundless Chaos.

Precisely because of her appearance, many Chaos living beings were brought into being, and the Chaos Demon Ape was the most outstanding among them.

The Chaos Demon Ape was different from other Chaos Demon Gods; from the moment of birth, he possessed several Great Dao laws.

And he was not at all like the irritable, brainless, and reckless creature imagined by later generations, only speaking with his fists.

On the contrary, he was incomparably intelligent and highly gifted.

He understood yin and yang, mastered transformations, was good at listening to sounds, and clearly observed all things in the world.

When he first took human form, his physical body was comparable to a supreme innate treasure, and he had infinite strength.

With a wave of his hand, he could move stars, change constellations, destroy the void, and overturn the heavens.

Although he understood many Great Dao laws, his main cultivation was still the Great Dao of Strength.

The Chaos Demon Ape's physical body contained violent Great Dao energy, but he was not good at controlling it.

Moreover, at the beginning of his birth, the Chaos Demon Ape had been eroded by violent Chaos evil energy, and his Dao heart had flaws, which led to his irritable nature.

If he was not careful, his emotions would fluctuate greatly.

Often, when his emotions were irritable, he would cause terrifying destructive power, stirring the entire Chaos into a mess and leaving no peace.

Even some inadvertent actions would cause some unimaginable consequences.

This also led many Chaos Demon Gods to harbor hostility toward him.

But there was no help for the fact that the gap in strength was there; they couldn't beat him, so they had to stay away.

If one were to say that Luo Hou was an evil Dao deviant, then the Chaos Demon Ape was a madman.

Tyrannical and fierce.

Unreasonable and difficult to educate.

Many times, one could not grasp his temper at all, and if one was not careful, one would invite a beating.

Under these circumstances, no living being was willing to take the initiative to approach him.

Only Ling Xi did not dislike the Chaos Demon Ape, and she saw his potential at a glance.

She guided his cultivation and helped him control his power.

Perhaps in the eyes of other Chaos Demon Gods, the Chaos Demon Ape was an unreasonable existence, like a fierce god.

However, in front of Ling Xi, the Chaos Demon Ape was very well-behaved and obedient.

Perhaps it was her sincere kindness, perhaps it was that gentle temperament, or perhaps it was her inclusive life force that gave people infinite vitality and hope.

In the entire Chaos, only Ling Xi could calm the irritability in the Chaos Demon Ape's heart through words and let him regain his reason.

Only she could calm the irritability in the Chaos Demon Ape's heart.

For Ling Xi, the Chaos Demon Ape was like a younger brother.

"You say the Chaos Demon Ape also once fought against that taboo existence?"

Lin Xia looked at Ling Xi and asked in a deep voice.

"That is correct."

"Speaking of which, it was all my fault."

A trace of sorrow flashed in Ling Xi's eyes, and she said in a low voice:
