Chapter 1333: Infinity Essence

Within the Chaos Giant Palm, the shadow origin of the Shadow Devil and the shattered laws of the Law Mirror Puppet were like two raging evil dragons, wildly rushing into Yan Buji's body. This power was far more violent and chaotic than anything he had devoured before, filled with the grudges of ancient existences and their own twisted Dao imprints.

Even with Yan Buji's cultivation at the Great Vehicle Peak and the Chaos Core's strong inclusivity, he felt his meridians distend, his soul sting, and his very 'Existence' seemed about to burst and be torn apart by these two alien forces.

Hmph! Stubborn resistance!

Yan Buji let out a muffled grunt, fully activating his Chaos cultivation method; the gray-gold qi flow was like a hundred million grindstones, madly grinding and decompressing the incoming power. However, the origin of these two ancient existences, accumulated over countless ages, was simply too vast, and the law imprints at their core were extraordinarily tenacious, making them difficult to fully refine in a short time.

If this continued, even if he ultimately succeeded in devouring them, it would consume a great deal of time and mental energy, possibly leaving hidden dangers, causing him to miss the best moment to seize the 'Mirror Heart'.

At this deadlocked, even slightly disadvantageous critical juncture, a point of weak light that had long been suppressed and hidden deep within Yan Buji's consciousness suddenly twitched slightly.

It was a strand of 'Infinity Essence' that he had forcibly stripped and stolen from the 'Order Source' transformed from Han Wuxian's martyrdom under the Order Light.

This strand of essence represented the core idea of Han Wuxian's path—'infinite possibilities, infinite evolution'—which, given Yan Buji's own Chaos Path brimming with 'self-attachment' and 'chaos,' should have been utterly incompatible, even conflicting. Until now, Yan Buji had merely suppressed and sealed it, never truly merging it, even regarding it as a potential threat.

But at this moment, faced with the two untamable ancient powers within his body, an extremely crazy yet perfectly fitting idea for his Chaos Path flashed through his mind like lightning!

"Chaos... encompasses all things, evolves all beings... 'Infinity' is also one of all things!"

"Why can't my Chaos contain this 'Infinity'? Why can't my evolution take this as its basis?"

"Since it's hard to obliterate, then... I'll use you as fuel to ignite my Infinity Furnace!"

Inspiration struck! Yan Buji no longer tried to forcibly erase that strand of 'Infinity Essence,' nor did he merely use Chaos to wrap and decompose the Shadow Devil's and Mirror Puppet's power.

He made a shocking decision: he would take this strand of 'Infinity Essence' as the 'seed,' the Shadow Devil's and Mirror Puppet's vast origin and laws as the 'fuel,' and his own Chaos Core as the 'furnace,' to conduct an unprecedented essence tempering!

He wanted to completely refine this external 'Infinity,' merge it into his own Chaos, making it part of his own Dao, thereby giving birth to a unique 'Infinity Chaos' belonging solely to Yan Buji!

"Chaos is the furnace, all Dao are the fuel! Infinity is the fire, forge my essence!"

He let out a low, deep Dao shout, his consciousness fully sinking into the depths of his Chaos Core. That strand of 'Infinity Essence,' long suppressed, was now fully released by him; though weak, it carried a tenacious conception of endless life and unceasing evolution.

Immediately afterward, he stopped viewing the Shadow Devil's and Mirror Puppet's wildly impacting origin power as enemies to be suppressed, but instead guided them, like two rushing rivers, actively converging toward that strand of 'Infinity Essence'.

"Boom!!!"

It was as if the primordial big bang of the universe's birth occurred within Yan Buji's Chaos Core!

"The 'Infinity Essence' this weak spark, upon contacting the two 'river'-like vast forces, was not extinguished; instead, it was as if doused with boiling oil, explosively bursting forth with unimaginable light and heat! It began to madly devour and assimilate these two powers."

The Shadow Devil's shadow origin, scorched by the Infinity Fire, had its cold and corrosive traits refined away, leaving only the most fundamental 'Concealment' and 'Corrosion' law fragments.

The Mirror Puppet's shattered laws, melted by the Infinity Fire, had their violent and destructive will purified, leaving only the pure essence of 'Fragmentation' and 'Reassembly'.

These two originally unruly forces, under the tempering of the 'Infinity Essence,' actually melted like ice and snow, quickly being broken down and purified; their essential parts were greedily absorbed by the 'Infinity Essence,' causing it to visibly grow and solidify at a speed discernible to the naked eye!

And Yan Buji's Chaos Core, serving as the furnace, bore all the shocks and pressures from this violent reaction. The furnace walls (core bulwarks) trembled, even cracking, but were swiftly repaired under the protection of that cyan radiance and ancient god Dao rhythm, and in this process passively absorbed the scattered, purest Chaos energy and law insights.

This was an extremely perilous process, like dancing on a blade's tip. Should the 'Infinity Fire' lose control, or the Chaos Furnace prove unable to bear it, the result would be the annihilation of both body and spirit.

But Yan Buji's will was like unchanging ancient black ice, firmly gripping the entire process. His Chaos Path, by nature, is a perilous way—seeking life in destruction, seizing foundation among myriad Dao!

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.

No one knew how long had passed; the explosive reaction inside the Chaos Core gradually subsided. The original 'Infinity Essence,' weak as a spark, had vanished completely.

In its place hovered a Chaos Crystal, grain-sized, suspended at the very center of the Chaos Core, emitting a soft yet eternal glow.

This crystal presented an extremely contradictory impression: it seemed absolutely 'Still,' freezing spacetime; yet also utterly 'Dynamic,' with endless Chaos scenes arising and ceasing, evolving within. It both contained Chaos's 'inclusivity and disorder' and bore Infinity's 'possibility and evolution'.

It is the new power core that Yan Buji forged, using his own Chaos as the base, melting together the 'Infinity Essence' and the essences of the two ancient existences, ultimately giving birth to the 'Infinity Essence'!

At the very moment this crystal took shape

"Hum!"

A profound and mysterious wave spread from within Yan Buji's body. His original bottleneck at the Great Vehicle Peak, under the push of this new essence, melted and broke through like thin ice under sunlight, silently and soundlessly!

His aura did not surge; instead, it became more restrained and profound, like a bottomless abyss. Yet his life level, his perception of laws, and his mastery of his own power had entered a brand-new realm—one surpassing the ordinary Great Vehicle Peak, truly touching a trace of the primordial law.

He slowly opened his eyes; no longer did mirror-like shadows flicker in them, only a deep, boundless Chaos remained, seeming to harbor endless possibilities.

Did he succeed?

He lowered his gaze to his palm, his heart stirring slightly. In the center of his palm, a wisp of gray-gold qi appeared; this flow was no longer merely stillness and destruction, but also carried a strange 'vitality,' as if it could, at his will, evolve into any form of power he could comprehend.

He sensed the embryonic form of true 'Infinite Possibility'! Although still far from genuine omnipotence, his Dao Foundation had already undergone a qualitative leap!

He raised his head, looking at the 'Mirror Heart' that seemed to glow slightly brighter due to the change in his aura, and curled the corner of his mouth into an arc of controlling everything.

The hidden dangers of devouring the two ancient existences were eliminated; his strength advanced another step beyond the hundred-foot pole, having condensed his own 'Infinity Chaos Essence'.
