The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 703 - Primordial chaos origin
Previously on The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System...
Long Qingyi had often contemplated the true nature of the primordial chaos.
Every inquiry posed to the system yielded only vague and elusive responses; even the system itself seemed uncertain about what the primordial chaos truly was.
Nevertheless, he understood it to be the birthplace of the great creator and, more importantly, the origin of the Dragon God of Corruption himself.
The System's records indicated the Heavenly Demon claimed birth there, yet unlike the Dragon God of Corruption and Rou'er's mother, he was not an inherent native of the primordial chaos.
This revelation only deepened Qingyi's perplexity.
How could any entity be a native of, or even subsist within, the Primordial Chaos?
The System offered no clarification.
For both of them, the Primordial Chaos remained an abstract concept, devoid of tangible elements like earth, water, or air.
Their perspective wasn't entirely misguided. The primordial chaos was, in essence, in a perpetual state of transformation.
The primordial chaos of a hundred million years prior differed significantly from its current form.
Though neither Qingyi nor the system were privy to this detail, its immediate relevance was negligible.
Setting aside these musings, the handsome young man focused his attention elsewhere. Whatever the primordial chaos entailed, he would uncover its secrets in due course.
Without a second thought, he initiated the process to enhance his cultivation.
[Initiating cultivation improvement]
[The origin of primordial chaos recognizes your existence and tears through the void toward you]
A shiver wracked Qingyi's being. The sensation of pain wasn't physical; it resonated in the very core of his soul—an intense ache originating from a realm beyond the physical body, inaccessible to any mundane touch.
Origin Qi.
This was an intrinsic aspect of every cultivator, akin to an innate birthmark.
While some, through sheer fortune or honed skill, might awaken Origin Qis far exceeding their initial endowment, this was an exceptional rather than common occurrence.
Typically, Origin Qi was a predetermined attribute, capable of augmenting a cultivator's Qi density and potency by a margin of thirty to forty percent.
Should one's Origin Qi be employed in place of their standard Qi, the cultivator would generally face a drastic decline in power, with potential consequences ranging from permanent crippling to the eternal barring of their soul from the cycle of reincarnation.
Consequently, despite the undeniable advantage Origin Qi offered in dire confrontations, cultivators seldom ventured beyond its passive benefits.
The reason was straightforward: Origin Qi was finite.
But what if...
What if the Origin Qi within a person's body was inexhaustible? What if its source was directly tethered to the individual, ensuring a continuous supply?
In such a scenario, the unrestrained utilization of Origin Qi would be feasible.
Qingyi's eyes, previously sealed shut, snapped open abruptly. His entire frame convulsed with the sheer magnitude of this realization.
He was not alone in this dawning comprehension.
Rouxi, deeply immersed in silent contemplation, abruptly awoke. Simultaneously, the eyes of every stellar sovereign within the sect opened, their gazes converging on the heavens.
The very fabric of space fractured where no dimensional plane should logically exist.
An overwhelming Qi permeated the entire planet, descending upon Rouxi's estate like a suffocating shroud, thickening the very atmosphere.
Even for those at the stellar sovereign level, the Qi was profoundly intimidating. It took them but a fleeting moment to discern its origin.
This was the Qi of primordial chaos, rending the cosmic tapestry to reach Qingyi.
However, a significant anomaly existed.
The Qi of primordial chaos ought not to manifest beneath the celestial canopy.
Rouxi, even without complete understanding of the phenomenon, was now fully alert.
With a swift gesture, she activated the intricate spatial formations encircling her stronghold, causing runes to ignite along the walls in pulsating waves of ethereal luminescence.
She swiftly relocated her retinue, all living beings within her palace, and even her cherished treasures.
They materialized miles away, disoriented. With unwavering resolve, Rouxi instructed them to retreat even further.
Moments later, one by one, the sect's other stellar sovereigns materialized, their grave stares fixed upon the heavens.
Despite the early morning hour and the brightening sky, the celestial panorama shifted in an instant.
Clouds of an unnatural blackness, so dense they suggested impending divine retribution, enveloped the azure sky.
The sun was effectively extinguished, plunging the entire planet into profound darkness.
The sole illumination came from ceaseless bolts of lightning that rent the heavens, their white fissures erupting across the somber expanse.
Each flash was accompanied by thunder so deep it felt as though the very earth trembled in response.
"What has transpired?" Ma Zhenwu, the sect's final stellar sovereign, materialized, his eyes wide as he observed the celestial fairy's palace. "Has Qingyi incurred the wrath of the heavens?"
"No..." Rouxi responded, her head shaking slowly. "His power undoubtedly challenges the heavens, but he has not directly offended them. This appears to be a typical advancement tribulation befitting a supreme genius, yet..."
It was common for peerless geniuses to face such tribulations. The heavens needed to test them, to ensure that all the destiny they had gathered would not go to waste. Most heavenly tribulations of extermination were exactly that: tests for geniuses, with only a minority used to kill at the enemies of the heavens. But this did not seem to be merely a tribulation to test a genius. The sect leader clenched his teeth. "What are you waiting for? Form formations around the entire sect! We must ensure Long Qingyi has a peaceful breakthrough, and that no external force dares to interfere!" At the sect leader's command, every Stellar Sovereign moved. Even Li Tianfa, who had already abandoned any plan to oppose Qingyi, moved with caution. He was a greedy man, corrupt in his way, but in the end he loved his sect above his own personal desires. Qingyi was the future of his sect. He had no wish to see that future die because of a mistake of his own making. With that in mind, no one dared to make a single mistake; they would not allow themselves to make a single mistake. Rouxi, because that was her beloved son, and the other star lords, because Qingyi was the sect's hope. Everyone spread out, working with great care.
