Chapter 267: Chaos Void Ancestral Spirit Anomaly

In the Four Directions Realm, across various Small Worlds.

Zzzzt!

A sharp, prolonged screech echoed through the Great Worlds as a white Illusory Image darted between realms, its hyper-frequency vibrations blurring sight and sound.

“What’s wrong with this monster? It kills anyone it sees!”

“Watch out! It’s a Second Heaven Fierce Beast that has condensed two Dharma Patterns! Run!”

The unparalleled vibrations nearly distorted time and space. Two newly advanced Tenth Rank Martial Gods, who had just condensed a single Dharma Pattern each, were no match for the Law Beast. They were forced into continuous retreat under its assault.

“Which fool provoked this monster into such a frenzy?”

Cursing as they fled, the two unleashed Law power from their Dharma Patterns, barely blocking the Law Beast’s slender tentacles.

But then, the Law Beast split into thousands of tentacles—dense, slender, and crystalline, yet evoking an uncanny valley effect that sent chills down their spines.

The tentacles dripped with sticky, glistening fluid. Under the hyper-frequency vibrations, countless droplets spread throughout the Small World.

After swiftly dispatching these two unfortunate First Heaven Martial Gods, the Law Beast let out a relieved cry before moving on to the next world to hunt down these cunning outsiders.

“The legendary Fallen Immortal Grass truly lives up to its reputation!”

Jiang Yan marveled. Though the Fallen Immortal Grass appeared small, the Law fragments it contained surpassed those of several Secret Realms combined.

“Death Qi, corrosion, devouring, curses!”

With this Fallen Immortal Grass, advancing the Life and Death Law would no longer be an issue.

Moreover, the other malevolent Laws shouldn’t go to waste—he would absorb them all.

“Tsk, why is that Law Beast getting closer to me?”

Sensing feedback from the Law of the Jungle, Jiang Yan grew alert and quickly ended his cultivation session.

“That Law Beast has separated its offspring from the main body. The Instant Kill Law probably won’t work on it stealthily. And from what those Martial Gods said, it’s a Second Heaven Fierce Beast—there’s no way I can defeat it as I am now.”

“Ah!” Jiang Yan realized why the Law Beast was relentlessly pursuing him.

“If the Law Beast has separated its offspring, then killing its tentacles means I killed its children, right?”

That explained the creature’s extreme fury.

Jiang Yan wrapped himself tightly in the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit. To avoid matching the “black-clad human” in Sky Demon’s memory, he cautiously refrained from cloaking himself in Spirit Ink as he had on Tianyuan Star.

“Space Law.”

Concealing his Aura and tracking the Law Beast’s location, Jiang Yan Transmigrated through the realm barrier in the opposite direction.

Only when exhausted and separated from the Law Beast by countless worlds did he feel secure enough to continue refining the Fallen Immortal Grass.

The Law Beast never imagined that while it expended great effort traversing worlds, its target had already fled tens of thousands of miles away with navigation active.

Unable to find Jiang Yan, the Law Beast roared in frustration and tore through space into another world.

If it couldn’t find him, it would vent its rage on these outsider insects instead.

Just then, a scornful voice sounded from behind the Law Beast.

“Hey, you look all shiny…”

“You must taste delicious, right?”

Zzzzzzt!

Enraged, the Law Beast shot its hyper-frequency vibrating tentacles toward the source of the voice.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The tentacles sliced through the Void, striking directly where the voice had stood!

Boom!

The next moment, dust erupted from the ground.

Unfortunately, all that came was the sound of metal clashing against earth.

This strike had missed.

“Hahahahaha, interesting! You’ll be my first meal today!”

Boom!

A gray streak of light broke through the boundary, smashing toward the Law Beast’s body at an incredible speed.

Zzzz…

The Law Beast emitted a high-frequency vibration, dispersing 90% of the force in an instant. However, the remaining 10% still sent it flying backward.

“Hahahahahaha, quite durable! Splendid, splendid!”

The Sky Demon, Xiang Yu, his crimson pupils growing increasingly bewitching, felt a boiling surge of Battle Intent in his chest. The smirk at the corner of his mouth gradually twisted into the wild arrogance of one toying with prey!

Without another word, the two clashed.

Countless tentacles shot forth like twisted, coiling serpents in the sky, forming a crystalline cage that enveloped the Sky Demon.

“Come! Come! Let’s fight to the death, hahahaha!”

The black patterns on the Sky Demon’s chest twisted and deformed. A skeleton burst forth from his flesh, growing wildly and piercing through the crystalline tentacles. A larger bone cage took shape in that moment.

The demon and the beast engaged in a fierce battle within the cage.

“Hmm? The position hasn’t moved. Seems it’s calmed down.”

Jiang Yan observed the Law Beast’s location through the [Law of the Jungle]. Seeing that its position hadn’t crossed the boundary on a large scale for a long time, he thought the Law Beast had given up. Relaxing, he began to focus on his cultivation.

He took out the Fallen Immortal Grass, its Laws gradually being absorbed by Jiang Yan.

First came the Death Qi, incredibly dense Death Qi.

The Life and Death Law grew excited due to the abundant fragments of the same origin.

Three days later, the Life and Death Law reached half completion, achieving the level of the Middle Stage.

“There are still so many fragments of dark-type Laws. Should I refine them into Laws one by one?”

Just then, the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit, dormant for a long time, suddenly stirred.

Jiang Yan released it from within his body, and without hesitation, it pounced on the remaining Fallen Immortal Grass, refining it in an instant.

[System Log Updated]

“Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit devours Devouring, Cursing, and Corrosion Laws, gaining a slight enhancement.”

Jiang Yan: ?

Where’s my huge stalk of grass?

Jiang Yan, who had originally planned to comprehend some other Laws, was suddenly dumbfounded.

[System Log Updated]

“Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit shows signs of evolution, triggering [Heaven Rewards Diligence]. The Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit will definitely undergo an evolution!”

“Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit… evolution.”

Jiang Yan silently repeated the words, vaguely sensing something.

The anomaly of the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit traced back to when he had just broken through to the Eighth Rank, specifically around the time he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Profound Spirit.

Thinking back carefully, during Jiang Yan’s days at Divine Capital Martial University, his Qi was still simply called “Geng Metal Primordial Qi.”

Later, as Jiang Yan delved deeper into absorbing Qi, the Geng Metal Primordial Qi began to evolve bit by bit. Ultimately, with the assistance of [Heaven Rewards Diligence], it successfully advanced into the mysterious Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit.

The strength of the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit was undoubtedly formidable. Now, unexpectedly, after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Profound Spirit for so long, it still had room to grow.

“But no matter how Qi evolves, it remains just Qi. How can it gain an advantage in the current clashes of Laws?”

As his Realm grew higher, Jiang Yan rarely used Qi to confront enemies anymore. He typically treated it as a bodily function, merely a resource to expend in battle.

Or he used it to envelop himself, conceal his Aura, and carry out more covert activities.

The most frequently used means of attack was still the Chaos Void World, but the power of the Chaos Void World primarily relied on various Laws to sustain it, having little to do with the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit.

“Swallowing a stalk of Fallen Immortal Grass only slightly improved it… It seems I must go and seize more precious treasures.”

Jiang Yan’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he suddenly set his sights on a new goal.
