Ye Chen undergoes a painful transformation, experiencing visions of himself as a powerful dragon and insect before waking up in a desolate universe. There, he encounters a mysterious, powerful being resembling Chaos, who recognizes Ye Chen as a "fiendgod." This entity attempts to devour Ye Chen, but is interrupted by a figure named Samsara, who calls the being "Heavenly Demon." Samsara warns the Heavenly Demon against harming Ye Chen, but the demon retaliates with dark energy.

The Heavenly Demon cackled, appearing unconcerned as the turbulent Black Evil surged, hurtling towards the Samsara Master. In response, the man known as Samsara swiftly unsheathed a sword imbued with brilliant Golden Light, ascending and clashing with the shadowy form of the Heavenly Demon! Their collision sent shockwaves, threatening to shatter the very fabric of the world!

Only the resplendent golden portal situated behind Ye Chen remained steadfast and undisturbed.

Samsara’s voice boomed, "Kid, make haste and depart!"

But the Heavenly Demon, locked in combat with Samsara, emitted a cryptic chuckle. "Heh heh, child of the Reincarnation Clan, I have bestowed upon you a small token. Perhaps our paths shall cross once more."

Upon hearing this, Samsara’s fury ignited. "Vile ancient being, silence yourself!"

The battle between the two powerhouses escalated with fierce intensity!

Witnessing this, Ye Chen knew no time could be wasted. He moved decisively, stepping through the golden portal.

An overwhelming torrent of Golden Light immediately enveloped Ye Chen!

In the subsequent moment, Ye Chen's eyes snapped open. The blinding Golden Light had vanished, replaced by an oppressive darkness, the surroundings rugged and stony.

Ye Chen paused, catching his breath, still disoriented. Suddenly, a cheerful exclamation reached his ears: "Brother Ye, you have finally awakened!"

Ye Chen turned, spotting Xu Shenglong standing beside him, his face beaming with joy.

A sense of relief washed over Ye Chen; it appeared he had indeed returned...

Yet, a flicker of uncertainty remained in Ye Chen’s eyes. Were the recent events real, or merely a phantom illusion?

Could that spectral figure be the legendary Myriad Demon Ancestor?

And what exactly was the Reincarnation Clan?

Was it possible that he himself was a descendant?

In his prior existence, was the Samsara Master not the sole sovereign of Samsara?

These questions swirled within his mind, an intricate web of mysteries that refused to dissipate.

However, Ye Chen swiftly shook his head, dismissing the perplexing thoughts. Regardless of whether the occurrences within the desolate cosmos were truth or deception, it was evident that his current strength was far from sufficient to grasp such profound matters!

For the time being, his sole focus had to be on growing stronger!

Ye Chen slowly rose, his body protesting with aches and pains. Yet, as he perceived an internal transformation, sheer astonishment contorted his features!

In the next instant, an incredibly potent aura erupted from him, causing even Xu Shenglong, who had already awakened the Scarlet Moon Tiger King Bloodline, to betray a hint of apprehension!

Grasping the burgeoning power within, Ye Chen offered a slight smile. Though the process had been peculiar, it had ultimately proven successful!

His Heavenly Demon Bloodline had now achieved a hundredfold increase in purity!

If he were to unleash his full demonic energy now, even Xu Shenglong, with his Scarlet Moon Tiger King Bloodline, might find himself suppressed by the sheer force of bloodline!

Moreover, propelled by this bloodline power, his cultivation level had surged to the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm, inching ever closer to the eighth.

In terms of spiritual energy, vitality, physical resilience, and sheer strength, every facet of his being had seen remarkable advancement!

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed. He now possessed the absolute confidence to contend with mid-stage cultivators of the Heavenly Repairing Realm without external aid from Xuan Han Yu or the Samsara Graveyard. Should he further refine portions of the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow to fortify his martial foundation, he might even stand a chance against late-stage powerhouses in the Heavenly Repairing Realm!

If he could integrate the power of the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics that Xuan Han Yu had absorbed, he might not be defeated even when facing peak-level elders!

Xu Shenglong, too, smiled wholeheartedly. Sensing the subtle but palpable pressure emanating from Ye Chen, sufficient to instill a sense of dread, he recognized that Brother Ye’s might had also grown immeasurably!

With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Chen gathered the Formation Devices from the Dark Abyss. As he prepared to depart the desolate location with Xu Shenglong, his expression abruptly shifted. He unfastened his collar, lowered his head, and discovered an unusual marking etched upon his chest.

Ye Chen inquired of Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, do you possess any knowledge regarding this peculiar mark?"

Xuan Han Yu remained silent for a brief interval before responding, "Kid, did something transpire during the refining process of the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill?"

Without hesitation, Ye Chen recounted his encounter with the mysterious entity and the golden figure.

Upon hearing his tale, Xuan Han Yu offered a wry smile. "Kid, it appears I underestimated your capabilities. The true nature of this Reincarnation Clan remains elusive, even to me. The former Samsara Master never divulged such details. However, a lineage capable of challenging the Heavenly Demon possesses a strength that transcends not only your current comprehension but also that of your past life and mine!"

Based on your experiences, everything felt incredibly real! Perhaps the reason you formed a connection with the Heavenly Demon was due to the purity of the Heavenly Demon Blood within you reaching a certain threshold, thus causing that mark to be left by that very Heavenly Demon!

Ye Chen's expression shifted abruptly. Being targeted by such a formidable entity was far from ideal!

He immediately inquired, "Is there any method to remove this mark?"

Xuan Han Yu let out a sigh. "The mark left by the Demon Ancestor of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, how could it possibly be easy to erase? However, you need not stress excessively. If my conjecture is correct, the area you entered was the mythical origins, and the Heavenly Demon, for reasons unknown, is currently imprisoned within those origins. Even a being like that would find it impossible to traverse the origins to act against you!"

"For specific details, perhaps Senior Ren might possess the knowledge."

Ye Chen let out a gentle breath, his gaze fixed on the peculiar mark, his brows slightly creased. Soon after, he adjusted his collar and said to Xu Shenglong, "Let's depart."

In the very next moment, both individuals exited the Dark Abyss, making their way back towards the Black Stone Inn.

...

Meanwhile, perched atop a mountain peak a hundred miles away within the Dark Domain.

A mysterious man, with a Blood Moon shimmering in his eyes and a majestic presence, gestured with his hand, causing the scene unfolding before him to completely dissipate.

This very scene was precisely what Ye Chen had just experienced moments prior!

"Do you believe this development is advantageous or detrimental?" Elder Ye inquired.

His gaze was filled with apprehension.

Although everything had appeared to be manageable since Ye Chen's reincarnation, there was a growing unease.

But the moment he stepped into the Outer Realm and ventured into the Dark Domain, events began to spiral beyond predictable control!

He could not ascertain the ultimate destination Ye Chen would reach!

Yet, one certainty remained: if Ye Chen did not meet an untimely end, he would wield a power far surpassing that of the previous Samsara Master!

Ren Feifan gazed somberly into an abyss within the Dark Domain, his lips moving subtly. The Blood Moon in his eyes emitted a faint radiance. "The Heavenly Demon Ancestor's standing is equivalent to that individual from the Samsara Graveyard. From our own perspectives, this situation is not beneficial."

"However, for Ye Chen, it might not necessarily be the case."
