Chapter 1331: Mirror Heart

The pure energy transformed from the Mirror Demon Lord's core surged within Yan Buji like a flood breaching a dam, roaring and raging. This energy is not only massive but also contains the Mirror Demon Lord's tens of thousands of years of insight and mastery over the Mirror's primal law, including the mysteries of "Replication," "Reflection," "Refraction," "Stripping," and "Mirror World," which, like countless shattered mirror shards, poured into Yan Buji's Chaos consciousness.

Even an ordinary Great Ascendant cultivator, even if granted such an opportunity, must spend a long time carefully refining it; a slight slip would have the tangled Mirror laws strike the mind, even be Assimilated, becoming a new Mirror Demon.

However, Yan Buji's Chaos Path excels at tolerance and Evolution!

The Chaos Core acts like the most efficient furnace; ash‑golden currents envelop the incoming energy and Law Fragments. A streak of azure glow and dark‑gold sheen radiates, helping to stabilize the core structure. Inside, the Reincarnation Ring's phantom accelerates, grinding and purifying the chaotic, disorderly parts of the Mirror law at the Silence Extinction end, while the most essential primal Law Fragments are absorbed and merged by the surrounding Chaos Qi.

Around his body, countless tiny, distorted mirror‑like phantoms involuntarily flickered, their existence fleeting, reflecting bizarre scenes. This is the external manifestation of his forced digestion and integration of the Mirror's primal law.

"The mirror reflects all things, and also distorts all things… truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, all lie within a single thought…"

"My Chaos, encompassing all, must accommodate this 'Mirror' transformation!"

His mind enlightened, he ceased merely passive absorption and began to actively guide, attempting to fuse the Mirror's primal law into his own Chaos system. He seeks to endow his Chaos Force with mirror attributes—not only to Devour and disintegrate, but also to reflect attacks, replicate techniques, and even create temporary mirrored spaces to trap and slay foes!

It is an extremely daring attempt; if successful, his Chaos Path will become even more unfathomably cunning, and his combat power will surge!

Time passes during the deep cultivation. The massive soul energy accumulated by the Mirror Demon Lord is greedily siphoned by the Chaos Core, driving his magical power to launch fierce assaults again and again against the late Great Ascendant's ultimate barrier.

"Boom—!"

It felt as if something inside was completely shattered; Yan Buji's aura surged abruptly, like a sleeping dragon awakening, a pressure far beyond before sweeping outward, violently shaking the temporary concealment array he had laid.

Great Ascendant Peak!

He snapped his eyes open; no longer a simple chaotic scene, but as if countless tiny mirrors were flickering and rotating, the space ahead subtly warped, reflecting overlapping phantoms. He had successfully broken through!

Not only had his cultivation entered the Great Ascendant Peak, but more importantly, he had begun to merge the Mirror's primal law into the Chaos Path. At this moment, as his Chaos Force circulated, it naturally acquired a hint of "mirror" flavor, appearing even more ever‑changing.

His thought flickered, and he raised his hand to press forward virtually. A smooth, mirror‑like Chaos Mirror Wall, wholly condensed from ash‑golden Chaos Qi, instantly materialized. On the mirror wall, Chaos Qi flowed, and faintly reflected the surrounding distorted images; its defensive and rebound capabilities far exceeded before.

"Not bad," Yan Buji nodded approvingly. The boost in strength gave him greater confidence in his upcoming actions within the Nox Mirror Hell.

However, just as he had just stabilized his realm and prepared to leave the area, the anomaly rebirthed!

The entire Nox Mirror Hell seemed driven by an unseen force; countless mirrors, regardless of size or whether whole or shattered, trembled in unison at that moment!

"Hum— hum hum—!"

Countless mirrors simultaneously emitted a deep hum; on their surfaces, they no longer reflected chaotic visions but all turned toward Yan Buji's direction! The mirrored light converged—not as an attack, but as a… worship? Or rather, an instinctive resonance and pull!

It seemed his newly born, mirror‑infused Chaos breath had become the temporary 'king' of this mirror realm!

Within countless mirrors, vague passage lights began to emerge, intertwining and linking, seemingly guiding him toward a path leading to the deepest, most mysterious region of the Nox Mirror Hell!

At the path's end, through the refraction of countless mirrors, Yan Buji faintly sensed an older, larger, seemingly the source of all Mirror laws… a sleeping will!

That is the true core of the Nox Mirror Hell, the origin that birthed the Mirror Demon Lord and countless mirror spirits!

Simultaneously, several cold, powerful thoughts projected from different depths of the mirror labyrinth, bearing scrutiny, caution, and a trace of deeply hidden greed.

"Has triggered the resonance of ten thousand mirrors… this child, can actually fuse with the mirror core…"

"The Chaos within him is the key…"

"He must not be allowed to touch the 'Mirror Heart'…"

Clearly, Yan Buji's refining of the Mirror Demon Lord's core and triggering of the ten‑thousand‑mirror phenomenon has fully alarmed those ancient beings deep within the Nox Mirror Hell. They no longer watch from the sidelines but have fixed their gaze upon him.

Ahead lies the temptation of the 'Mirror Heart' guided by ten thousand mirrors; behind, the ancient beings stare hungrily.

Yan Buji stood at the center of the countless mirrors' 'worship', feeling the surging power within and the faint summons, a flash of zeal and resolve crossing his eyes.

"Mirror Heart… the source of everything…"

"Devour it, and my Chaos Path will ascend another level!"

"As for those hidden‑tailed old monsters… whoever dares to block me will be eradicated!"

He let out a long laugh, no longer hesitating; his form became a streak of flowing light illuminating the ash‑golden mirror lake's dazzling rainbow, charging boldly along the path indicated by the ten thousand mirrors toward the deepest layer of the Nox Mirror Hell!

Ten thousand mirrors paved the way, their brilliance guiding. Yan Buji's body transformed into an ash‑golden dazzling rainbow, racing along the path formed by countless mirror passages at astonishing speed toward the deepest part of the Nox Mirror Hell.

The deeper he went, the larger and older the surrounding mirrors became, their flowing law patterns growing ever more intricate and profound. The reflections no longer showed simple sin‑induced phantoms but seemed to touch fragments of the spacetime origin and causal threads, bizarre and wondrous, containing great terror and great mystery. Powerful spatial pressure surged from all directions; had he not already begun to fuse the Mirror's primal law and his cultivation reached the Great Ascendant Peak, he would likely have been torn apart by these chaotic laws.

He could clearly feel the summons emanating from the 'Mirror Heart' at the path's end growing stronger, an instinct of homogenous attraction, as if his newly born mirror‑infused Chaos was the 'messenger' or 'vessel' the ancient Mirror Heart longed for.

Yet at the same time, those few cold, powerful thoughts lingered like shadows, bearing unabashed malice and greed, clinging tightly behind. They seemed to wait, waiting for him to touch the Mirror Heart, perhaps the most vulnerable moment.

Unaware how many layers of mirrored space he had traversed, the path ahead suddenly brightened!

At the path's end, instead of an imagined massive mirror, there was a void. At the center of that void floated a fist‑sized, perfectly round, chaos‑colored sphere, seemingly containing all colors of the world yet presenting an absolute state of 'nothing'—the 'Mirror Heart'!
