Chapter 2148: Chaos First Opened!

In the Dragon Eye Cave, Long Xiaochun and the others showed expressions of relief after a narrow escape.

The explosion was too violent; Long Xiaochun crushed several jade slips in succession and teleported to the farthest spatial node, barely dodging the blast's power.

Even so, they were all covered in dust and dirt, looking very disheveled.

“Xiao... Xiaochun-sama, Lord Ye’s commotion was a bit too much, wasn’t it?” Xunge said with lingering fear.

“Too terrifying! Even the Heavenly Emperor at the center of the explosion would probably be reduced to ashes, right? Lord Ye... he couldn’t be...” Long Zhaotian said, his face pale.

“Shut up!”

Long Xiaochun directly cut off Long Zhaotian’s next words and said in a deep voice, “Ye Yuan is definitely still alive!”

The others fell silent, but reason told them that Ye Yuan’s chance of survival was almost nonexistent.

After all, Ye Yuan was at the center of the explosion. How could he survive such a terrifying blast?

“The explosion has subsided. Let’s go take a look!” Long Xiaochun said with rare solemnity.

…

“Is this my own world?”

Amidst a sea of chaos, Ye Yuan’s consciousness overlooked the world, his heart surging with excitement.

Until today, he had finally created a world of his own.

This chaos was boundless, a gray expanse with no trace of life, and it was expanding outward at an extremely fast rate, growing larger and larger.

“My world was born a full three major realms later than others. Judging by its appearance, it seems somewhat different!” Ye Yuan murmured as he looked at this chaos.

Although Ye Yuan had not passed through the Divine Lord realm, having spent so long in the Tongtian Realm and seen countless experts, he was no stranger to world creation.

When a martial artist reaches the Divine Lord realm, they need to use a singularity in the Tongtian Realm as a foundation to expand and create their own world.

In other words, countless experts in the Tongtian Realm had created countless small worlds, but all were based on the Tongtian Realm, extensions of it.

Even powerful void realms like the Zhen Dong Void Realm were, in the end, part of the Tongtian Realm.

But Ye Yuan’s breakthrough method was completely different.

His world was entirely created by himself!

There was no singularity, no time, and no space.

This chaos was a brand new world!

Chaos first opened, heaven and earth undivided.

Everything was a wilderness awaiting development, a blank slate.

What this world would become in the future depended entirely on himself.

This kind of control was not restricted by the Tongtian Realm!

Ye Yuan could sense that this world and the Tongtian Realm seemed to be two parallel worlds, not interfering with each other.

It was not like other small worlds, which were extensions of the Tongtian Realm.

Moreover, the chaotic spiritual energy in Ye Yuan’s world was incomparably rich, even a thousand or ten thousand times richer than the spiritual energy of the Tongtian Realm!

Even if it were diluted later, it could still reach the level of the Tongtian Realm.

Other small worlds, such as the Xianlin World, had their spiritual energy greatly diluted, with extremely low content.

Thus, martial artists there who wanted to break through their shackles and come to the Tongtian Realm found it harder than ascending to heaven.

Even a vast void realm like the Zhen Dong Void Realm was slightly inferior to the Tongtian Realm in terms of spiritual energy.

Ye Yuan’s gaze was profound as he slowly said, “I seem... to understand something! It seems that the path I am taking is the true great path to heaven! They cannot merge the three paths of essence, energy, and spirit because their path is fundamentally wrong! Their paths are all reliant on the Tongtian Realm. How can they break the shackles of the Tongtian Realm? Even the Dao Ancestor is merely a powerful being within the Tongtian Realm, forever unable to transcend! But for me to reach this point, I owe much to the Lesser Tongtian Mountain!”

Having cultivated the “Chaos Tongtian True Scripture” until today, after enduring countless hardships, Ye Yuan had finally created his own world.

Although this world was still tiny, even smaller than a Divine Lord’s small world, in terms of quality, Ye Yuan’s world was a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than that of a Heavenly Emperor!

And Ye Yuan’s world held infinite possibilities!

Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s mind stirred, and a figure appeared in his world—it was Wuchen!

Wuchen looked at this world, which was only a hundred zhang in radius, stunned speechless.

“This... this is your world? It’s... it’s too incredible!” Wuchen exclaimed in amazement.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Before breaking through, I couldn’t have imagined that my world would be like this!”

Wuchen murmured, “Wrong! It turns out everyone was wrong! Divine Lords create worlds, Heavenly Lords control worlds, Heavenly Emperors dominate worlds... it turns out... all wrong! Ye Yuan, your path is the true great path to heaven!”

Wuchen had watched Ye Yuan advance step by step, with confusion, with doubt, with endless tribulations!

But now, the facts had finally proven that the path Ye Yuan walked was correct!

This world was a world Wuchen had never seen before.

With just one glance, he could see the extraordinary nature of this world.

“Being able to reach this point, I owe much to Heavenly Lord Xianlin! If not for him and the Lesser Tongtian Mountain, I would have been just another ordinary person,” Ye Yuan sighed.

Wuchen shook his head and said, “That’s not the case! In the unseen, fate is predetermined! Do you still remember what Xianlin said before he died?”

Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Before Xianlin died, he had said that the meaning of his existence was Ye Yuan’s birth!

“The Lesser Tongtian Mountain has not had only you as its master! But neither Xianlin nor Fangtian took this step. Xianlin was a genius who comprehended the Dao before the Lesser Tongtian Mountain for millions of years, yet he did not achieve even a fraction of what you have! It’s not that he couldn’t, but that... you are too strong! You are the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao!” Wuchen said, somewhat excited.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, “My heart for the Dao has never changed. But my greatest wish now is still to revive Lingxue!”

Wuchen said, “Foolish child, you have already done well enough! Two thousand years of Dao comprehension, creating a new world—who could do that? However, this new realm of yours is not the Heavenly Lord realm. What should it be called?”

Ye Yuan’s path was a completely new one, so naturally, the realms were different.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Now that chaos has first opened, let’s call it the Chaos Realm!”

“The Chaos Realm—that’s fitting! But from now on, the spiritual energy you need for cultivation will be terrifying!” Feeling the violent spiritual energy in the chaos, Wuchen said with a wry smile.

Ye Yuan also smiled bitterly and said, “There’s no help for it. If it weren’t for the ten-year appointment I made with Lü’er, I really wouldn’t want to leave this place!”

From entering the Dragon Eye Cave until now, about ten years had passed.

Ye Yuan was worried that Lü’er and the others might be concerned, so he chose this moment to break through.

He knew that Lü’er had probably had a hard time these ten years.

As for himself, his realm had advanced by leaps and bounds over the past ten years, breaking directly from the seventh level of the Yuan Dan realm to the Chaos Realm!

For this great gift from Long Chi, Ye Yuan really was somewhat reluctant to leave!

At that moment, Ye Yuan’s mind stirred, and he smiled, “Hmm? The Nirvana Tribulation has also passed, and my physical body has broken through to the seventh rank!”
