Su Yuan effortlessly overpowered Venerable Yuanhao with superior Little Chaos mastery, claiming a Supreme Treasure. Venerable Yuanhao accused him of inheriting Heavenly Fate Child's legacy, prompting three Chaos Dominator Incarnations to block his escape and demand proof of his origins. Su Yuan revealed their isolation within the Tear of Eternity's interior, shrugging off their combined ultimate assault with minimal damage before preparing a devastating counterstrike.

The four powerhouses refused to await death passively. Each one unleashed their ultimate techniques to fight back. Be it Venerable Yuanhao or the Dominator incarnations, all could burst forth with peak quasi-Dominator realm combat strength. Combined, who beneath the Dominator level within the Chaos could possibly endure their assault?

Yet Su Yuan stood as the sole exception.

His palm descended softly, and the four beings' bodies were compressed with matching gentleness.

Their shapes flattened more and more, until at last they became mere sheets of paper.

Four warped faces appeared etched on the paper, showing varied expressions.

Che Chi Old Man's incarnation bore a grin of sharp curiosity.

Wuyazi looked deep in contemplation.

The Stone Dominator's face stayed neutral, uncaring about his end.

As for Venerable Yuanhao, sheer terror gripped him!

He overflowed with deep remorse, desperate to plead with Su Yuan for mercy, yet lacked even the power to beg.

Finally, the four sheets of paper were ground into nothingness, vanishing entirely.

Dead!

Or better said, erased!

The four beings were completely wiped out.

With a casual flick of Su Yuan's hand, four small Chaos realms detonated before him, brimming with enormous troves of treasures.

The inheritances from the three Chaos Dominator incarnations weren't overly lavish. They included just some fused Dao treasures, with merely one or two quasi-Dominator artifacts each.

Su Yuan shifted focus to Venerable Yuanhao's remnants.

To Su Yuan's dismay, Venerable Yuanhao's treasures were plentiful but paled in quality compared to those of the three Dominator incarnations!

Was the Tai'a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror truly his greatest possession?

Was the wager truly so massive?

Even the Dao Yan Crystals were disappointingly sparse. Wait, no—that's off. Venerable Yuanhao had swapped for Chaos Jade Marrow earlier. Had that exhausted all his Dao Yan Crystals?

Su Yuan shook his head.

He scoured every inch, confirming no supreme valuables lingered.

He proceeded to claim the authentic legacies of the four powerhouses—their cultivation bases, realms, Great Dao insights, memories, and physical bodies.

The Mental Avatar's prowess enabled him to seize the true fruits of victory!

In a flash, Su Yuan commanded ten thousand diverse Dao Principles out of nowhere. The merged insights from the three Chaos Dominator incarnations granted him full dominion over ten thousand unique single Dao Principles!

This bounty spared Su Yuan boundless toilsome cultivation.

Likewise, he gained more than forty advanced fused Dao Principles. Venerable Yuanhao yielded one twenty-fourth-order fused Dao Principle, as the other three incarnations supplied forty-three fused Dao Principles combined, the peak at thirty-sixth order.

Though not supreme grade, this vaulted Su Yuan's Chaos True Intent comprehension ahead dramatically!

Every fused Dao Principle embedded slivers of Chaos Dao Intent, True Intent, and Great Dao. Through this infusion, Su Yuan's Chaos True Intent mastery deepened profoundly.

"Others might lack precise knowledge of their Chaos True Intent progress, but I possess the True Name Dao Principle. It measures attainment levels exactly!"

Su Yuan gazed inward.

Before his prior breakthrough, Chaos True Intent had merely hit the one-thousandth point, just entering its domain. Now, it soared to the three percent mark—three percent outright!

Chaos True Intent had multiplied thirty times over!

"Regrettably, the three Dominator incarnations held only scant memory fragments. Few matters beyond Dominator realm were captured."

Su Yuan sighed inwardly, though this very limitation let him vanquish the three incarnations.

After sorting the insights.

Su Yuan absorbed the cultivation of the four as well. Immense Chaos Origin energies flowed into his Origin Space, expanding his foundational Origin power tenfold.

Armed with such colossal reserves, Su Yuan brimmed with assurance to birth Chaos from "Nothingness"!

His ascent to Chaos Dominator arrived this day.

"Caution remains prudent!"

After reflection, Su Yuan chose to hoard maximum Dao Yan Crystals for a flawless advance.

The swiftest route to Dao Yan Crystals struck him—to plunder the Taihao Holy Hall's vaults clean.

With one thought, his features altered, morphing straight into Venerable Yuanhao's appearance.

Self-examination revealed a mismatch, so he promptly exuded the aura of a twenty-fourth-order fused Dao Principle.

Perfection set.

[World Traveler] triggered instantly. His form whisked back to the Taihao Holy Hall.

"Greetings, Hall Master!"

Disciples along the path bowed deeply to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan nodded indifferently, copying Venerable Yuanhao's habits from memories.

He strode swiftly into the Taihao Holy Hall's core, halting at the treasury doors.

Gripping the Hall Master's token, he infused Dao Principle power and commanded the Holy Hall's Guardian Spirit, "Open the treasury!"

"As you command, Hall Master Yuanhao!"

The Guardian Spirit swung open the treasury gates at once.

Su Yuan stepped inside, facing an endless expanse of treasures and resources amid starry voids.

A precise catalog unfurled before him.

"Raw materials at Dao Venerable level and above, totaling 1,082,025 types, with a total quantity of 105 million units. Finished treasures at Dao Venerable level and above, totaling 230,000 pieces, among which fused Dao treasures of the twelfth order and above number 594 pieces."

"Dao Yan Crystals total three hundred and twenty trillion trillion pieces. Dao Scriptures number 9,524 volumes. Territory Deeds number 2,348 copies..."

The treasure deluge stunned Su Yuan utterly.

The Taihao Holy Hall's reserves proved outrageously vast, insanely sumptuous!

Su Yuan acted without delay, sweeping up the Dao Yan Crystals. In a single grab, he claimed three hundred and nineteen trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals, sufficient for 319 million Chaos Jades!

This act jolted the Guardian Spirit, who blurted urgently, "Hall Master, what are you doing? These Dao Yan Crystals are the Holy Hall's inventory and operating funds. If you take most of them directly, the Holy Hall won't be able to function!"

Su Yuan dismissed it with a wave, "What do you know, you fool! This Sovereign is on the verge of breaking through to Chaos Dominator and urgently needs a batch of Dao Yan Crystals for the breakthrough! These Dao Yan Crystals are barely sufficient! This Sovereign has already left you one trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals for operations!"

"This..." The Guardian Spirit faltered. Its core directive guarded Holy Hall operations, birthed by Taihao Dominator rather than Venerable Yuanhao, rendering obedience incomplete.

Still, Venerable Yuanhao achieving Chaos Dominator would serve the Holy Hall well, breeding inner conflict.

"Furthermore, release all restrictions on the treasures. I need these treasures as resources for my breakthrough!"

"All treasures?" The Guardian Spirit reeled in disbelief.

Su Yuan scowled, brandishing the Holy Hall Master's token, "This Sovereign commands you, immediately, right now!"

"Yes!"

The Guardian Spirit yielded to Su Yuan's order, lifting every treasure restriction.

Su Yuan then claimed all treasures in one fell swoop, sparing just one ten-thousandth of basic goods to prevent total emptiness.
