King Of Chaos

The Golden Petal?

Not only Bai Lushi, but even Queen frowned. She and the Tree of Chaos were inside the First Layer of Celestial Boundary's 36 Layers.

A soft glow blazed around the Tree of Chaos. Very soon, the Tree of Chaos transformed into an extremely beautiful lady who looked very similar to Queen. Her pupils were green. She darted a look at the golden petal and muttered, "He has taken action. His current strength should be enough to drive these Abyssals out of Chaos and hold them back there."

Queen nodded silently, supporting Tree of Chaos's statement.

In the void, a second Golden Petal slowly manifested.

Rumble~

As two more petals appeared, the void rumbled once again. A golden bolt of lightning flashed, striking the darkness hard, dissipating the darkness brought by the Abyssals in an instant. At the same time, two golden runic chains shot out from the root of the golden petals, pierced into the void, and tightly wrapped around the colossal crack in the void.

Similarly, the next time, three golden petals appeared at once. As the three golden petals appeared, a surge of energy swept through the surroundings, crackling with untamed power, heralding the unfolding chaos yet to come.

The appearance of the four golden petals was soon followed by four more golden petals. As the four golden petals unfurled, ever-changing colors exploded outward, painting the void with vibrant hues that danced and shifted like the chaotic currents of fate itself.

Very soon, five more golden petals manifested beside the previous ten petals. As the five more golden petals gracefully emerged, the void crackled with air of anticipation, as though the very fabric of reality itself held its breath, poised on the brink of transformation.

Six more golden petals slowly made their appearance at the scene. As the six more golden petals shimmered into existence, a palpable aura of ancient power enveloped the surroundings, stirring whispers of forgotten legends amidst the swirling chaos. This legend belonged to a Lotus that was said to be above every treasure of Chaos, only below the Tree of Chaos.

A total of 21 giant golden petals had already appeared in the void, forming the shape of a grand lotus.

Who has not heard of the Lotus of Chaos and its legend?

Every creature of Chaos was extremely shocked. They couldn't believe their eyes as they witnessed the 21 giant golden petals forming the shape of a grand lotus in the void. It reminded them of the legendary Lotus of Chaos. It was a moment of realization for every single creature in Chaos. They knew that something extraordinary was happening - the first treasure of Heavenly Mystery was appearing right before their eyes.

The sight left them breathless, their minds racing with wonder and anticipation. Whispers spread like wildfire among the inhabitants of Chaos, each one trying to comprehend the significance of this momentous event. Some trembled with fear, others brimmed with excitement, but all were united in the knowledge that the Chaos was about to be forever changed by the unveiling of the first treasure of Heavenly Mystery.

As the anticipation reached its peak, beings from all corners of Chaos slowly rose in the air, drawn by the irresistible pull of curiosity and ambition. They stood in awe, their hearts pounding with a mixture of hope and trepidation, eager to witness the unveiling of such a marvelous treasure.

Rumble~

The void rumbled with a thunderous roar once again. A monstrous ripple appeared in the void that swept over in every direction.

Very soon, seven giant golden petals made their grand appearance once again.

As the seven golden petals materialized, a profound stillness descended upon Chaos, shrouding the tumultuous Cosmic Field in an eerie calm, as if time itself held its breath. Everyone, no matter what they were doing, seemed to have frozen completely for a few moments. It was only after a few seconds they regained the ability to move.

After the emergence of the seven golden petals, eight more golden petals materialized.

As the eight more golden petals blossomed forth, the very essence of Chaos seemed to coalesce, swirling around the lotus with an intensity that defied comprehension. A total of 108 rays of light shot out from the depth of the Chaos and entered the 36 golden petals that formed a complete Lotus.

This was the Lotus of Chaos. Every Petal of the Lotus of Chaos had a unique structure that symbolized the Supreme Chaos Rules. When 108 Rules of Chaos entered the lotus, everything aligned perfectly, creating a powerful harmony.

It was also at this time that a surge of raw, primal energy surged forth, pulsating with the power to reshape the very fabric of existence itself, casting a brilliant, blinding light that illuminated the entirety of Chaos, marking the dawn of a new era.

It should be noted that with the appearance of every giant Golden Petal, a thich runic chain would manifest that later pierce into the void and tightly bind the colossal crack from every side. By now, the colossal crack was completely sealed.

As for the other tens of thousands of cracks in the void, the moment the Lotus of Chaos completely materialized, a golden shockwave exploded that seemed to expand crazily and touch every corner of the Chaos. Aside from the colossal crack, every small crack was instantly wiped out and repaired.

Be it the people of Chaos, Bai Lushi, Queen, and even the Tree of Chaos, everyone was shocked—mainly Queen and the Tree of Chaos, for they never expected Ling Xiaolong to grow so strong in such a short period of time.

"Did you sense them?" Queen's voice stuttered as she looked at the Tree of Chaos with disbelief.

The Tree of Chaos nodded her head, saying, "Those seem to be the high-leveled rules of Chaos. I never expected his Chaos to take a step ahead and surpass my Chaos. How long has it been? How did he grow so strong without us realizing."

While everyone was shocked, a brilliance of light exploded in the void, completely wiping out the existence of darkness from every corner of Chaos for a few moments.

Everyone raised their heads, wanting to see what was happening now, only to witness something that made their hearts tremble.

When the blinding light disappeared, they saw a human figure walking step by step toward the giant Lotus of Chaos. He was a silver-haired man, armed in golden. He was holding a spear in his right hand and a blade in his left hand. Both these weapons were exuding a terrifying momentum, their aura comparable to that of an Ethereal Guardian Weapon.

The spear was obviously the Void Shattering Spear while the blade was the Infinity Edge Blade.

Actually, while the entire Chaos was shocked by the appearance of Golden Petals every time, Ling Xiaolong sensed the completion of fusion between the Infinity Edge Blade and the Celestial Glory Blade.

Sensing this, he directly teleported to a sealed mountain. For the current him, no wall or barrier could stop him. He easily entered the sealed mountain and met Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling.

Feng Zhiling was surprised to see Ling Xiaolong, but then he smiled and gave him the greenish-purple weapon and said that he never expected the Infinity Edge Blade to be so overbearing. Normally, the strong devour the weak, then be if they are humans, demons, or weapons. In other words, the Celestial Glory Blade was a weapon capable of easily devouring the Infinity Edge Blade during the fusion process.

Unexpectedly, the Infinity Edge Blade emerged victorious. It actually devoured the Celestial Glory Blade. The rest of the process of fusion was easy afterward.

[A/N]:- Here, 'devouring the blade' means swallowing the origin of the other weapon. In order to complete the fusion process of the two weapons, a Weapon Craftsman has to first fuse their Source Origins. However, when the Source Origins of the two weapons were revealed, the Infinity Edge Blade's Source Origin overwhelmingly suppressed the Source Origin of the Celestial Glory Blade, thus successfully swallowing it.

Ling Xiaolong smiled at that time and said that 'devouring' had always been one of the best characteristics of the Infinity Edge Blade. It is just that this blade is a picky eater. It does not devour everything.

At first, Ling Xiaolong wanted to fuse the two weapons, however, when the Celestial Glory Blade was swallowed by Infinity Edge Blade, there was no longer any need for 'fusion'. The Infinity Edge Blade remained the Infinity Edge Blade while the Celestial Glory Blade disappeared.

At the same time, the rank of the Infinity Edge Blade soared to the Ethereal Guardian rank. It became the second Ethereal Guardian-ranked weapon to appear in Chaos.

Divine Craftsman not only gave Ling Xiaolong the Infinity Edge Blade, but he also gave him a ball of light, saying that this contains his complete inheritance, his hard work worth his lifetime. He gave Ling Xiaolong his inheritance because Ling Xiaolong had the 'pendant' that he randomly threw out in the world.

As long as someone held the pendant and came to him, they would be qualified to receive his inheritance.

Ling Xiaolong was that person so he received the inheritance. However, Ling Xiaolong had no use for this inheritance. If he wants something now, he can simply use the Rules to create them. Even creating a weapon like the Infinity Edge Blade is possible for him, but he has to pull this trick inside his own Chaos.

He wanted the Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling to give his inheritance to someone else. It was then the Divine Craftsman asked for a favor. He wanted Ling Xiaolong to find a qualified person for him to pass the inheritance to that person.

Ling Xiaolong could not refuse the favor Divine Craftsman asked, so he promised him.

It was at that moment that the Lotus of Chaos fully blossomed within the void, prompting Ling Xiaolong to take subsequent actions.
