Ye Xiao let the thunder tribulation fall on his body and kept tempering his body as much as he could.
Because the tribulation collided with his body directly without any sort of protection, Ye Xiao was already gravely injured and his skin was charred black. The smell of burning skin could be smelt from afar.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao had many cards up his sleeves. He kept using the <Life Recover> ability to recover his injuries time and time again. This process continued for a while longer.
Because of the danger, the two girls had already left. They no longer wanted to stay on this mountain and fall in grave danger. They fled.
Time continued to pass and Ye Xiao continued to withstand the tribulations. Just like that, five hours passed.
Finally, a horribly powerful aura swept over in every direction, even directly affecting the clouds in the sky and scattering them in every direction.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and clenched his hand.
“Finally!”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and observed his body. He had finally broken through to the Chaos Spirit Realm. However, unlike what he had expected, the seal on his universe did not break. Of course, it was loosened too much, and Ye Xiao had confidence in breaking this seal as long as he could raise his cultivation to the Peak of Chaos Spirit Realm.
But Ye Xiao decided otherwise. He decided not to break the seal while still in the Chaos Spirit Realm. Instead, he would break the seal sealing his universe after going through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and becoming a Chaos Spirit Saint.
Why?
There was a reason though.
When Ye Xiao broke through to Chaos Spirit Realm, he awakened a Spirit of Chaos. This Spirit of Chaos could deepen Ye Xiao’s connection with the Rules of Chaos and make him capable of comprehending the Forces of Chaos’s Rules as long as he goes through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and step into the Chaos Spirit Saint Realm.
Now, a question comes: “What is the Spirit of Chaos?”
Every piece of Land in Chaos, then if it is a secret realm, a broken piece of Land that was destroyed somehow, Forgotten Lands, or even Source Universes, they all have spirits. They could think for themselves, talk, walk, incarnate, and take action according to the situation.
Just like how Ye Xiao had to battle the Spirit of the Heavens in order to come out of that Source Universe and step into the vast chaos.
Just like how Lands could bless geniuses that are born on them.
Just like how Red Star Secret Realm took action against him for going against its rules by breaking through to Chaos Spirit Realm. His action disrupted the rules of this secret realm. ．
Because of Ye Xiao’s action, the rules of Red Star Secret Realm were broken and now, any Chaos Spirit Realm warrior could openly walk around while releasing his aura, that is until the rules of Red Star Secret Realm repairs itself.
Well, coming back to the point, they all have their own spirits.
How could Chaos in itself doesn’t have one?
Chaos also has its own will and spirit, and soul.
Let’s keep the matter of Soul aside for now.
To step into the Chaos Spirit Realm, all warrior has to awaken the Spirit of Chaos. Actually, the term “awaken the spirit of chaos” is wrong.
Because, whenever someone breaks through and steps into the Chaos Spirit Realm, the Spirit of Chaos takes out a strand of energy from its origin and lets it enter the new Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. That is to let that strand of energy, which is generally called the Spirit of Chaos by warriors, become familiar with the warrior’s body. And after going through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion, the strand of energy fuses with the warrior completely, enabling them able to sense the Rules of Chaos that also exist in Chaos’s Origin.
Why does the Spirit of Chaos do that?
It is because as long as a warrior fuses the strand of energy from the Spirit of Chaos with their body, they could never go against the Chaos even after becoming an almighty being that has the strength to threaten the very existence of Chaos itself.
One could understand in another simple term.
Let’s say, the strand of energy from the Spirit of Chaos is a slave imprint that fuses in the body and soul of warriors, enslaving them. And their master is Chaos.
How could a slave dare to go against its master?
If someone dared, they would die with just a single thought from the Spirit of Chaos.
Now, the question was, why did Ye Xiao decide to break the seal of the universe after going through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and stepping into the Chaos SPirit Saint Realm?
It is because, for the very first time, the Lotus of Chaos contacted him.
The Lotus of Chaos told Ye Xiao everything and explained why the universe was sealed by it in the first place.
It is because as long as Ye Xiao goes through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion, if the universe is not sealed, even his universe will come under the rules of Chaos and will be controlled by Chaos.
Although Chaos will not do anything as long as Ye Xiao does not go against it, however, if Ye Xiao really took that action, he would have no way of retaliating the Chaos and will die almost immediately.
The Chaos is completely different from a Source Universe like the Heavens. Even if Ye Xiao wants to, as long as he fuses with the strand of energy originating from the Spirit of Chaos, he could not go against Chaos no matter how hard he tries.
However, it is a completely different story if Ye Xiao’s Universe is sealed.
While it is sealed, it will not be affected in the slightest even if Ye Xiao goes through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion. And in the future, through his Universe, he might really possess the strength and power to rule the Chaos itself, become a true king, and even suppress the Will, Spirit, and Soul of Chaos.
And only if he could do that will he become one true King.
The so-called First King of Chaos or Kings after them will be nothing more than a joke to Ye Xiao at that time.
But that is still far away and Ye Xiao has to take a step at a time.
Now, another question arises from this. Why go through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion in the first place? If Ye Xiao wants, he could totally depend on his universe and continue to become stronger.
Well, that is true. However, how could Ye Xiao increase the strength of his universe?
It has to be known that when Ye Xiao was still in the Heacens (Source Universe), he had to comprehend the Laws of Heavenly Dao and their Profound Meanings to make his universe bigger and stronger.
But now, he was in Chaos. He has already completely comprehended the Rules of a Source Universe, perfecting his own universe, and becoming stronger, if not equal, than all other Source Universes that exist in the infinite Chaos.
Now, what should he do to increase the strength of his universe?
The answer is simple.
Comprehend the Rules of Chaos!
And how could one do that?
Chaos never permits anyone to even sense the Rules of Chaos as long as they are not a Chaos Spirit Saint.
One has to go through Three Stages of Spirit Fusion to fuse the strand of energy from the Spirit of Chaos in their bodies and souls in order to gain the ability to sense the Rules of Chaos and comprehend their forces.
Similarly, no matter if Ye Xiao wants or not, he has to go through the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion in order to comprehend the Rules of Chaos.
However, unlike others who will be completely under the rules of Chaos for their entire lifetime, Ye Xiao will not. He becomes an exception because of having a Universe in hand. Most importantly, the Lotus of Chaos was still there.
Ye Xiao had nothing to worry about. The Lotus of Chaos will help him deal with the strand of energy that he will fuse with.
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh. Every action of Lotus of Chaos truly has a purpose. It sealed his universe and not gave Ye Xiao access to his own universe because it wanted to save Ye Xiao from completely falling under the rules of Chaos.
If that really happened, Ye Xiao would never ever be able to become the one true King of Chaos.
Well, now that the seal has loosened a lot, Ye Xiao could finally contact the Lotus of Chaos at the very least. He could talk and take suggestions from it. This alone will help Ye Xiao greatly.
