King Of Chaos

Chapter 471 Ch 471: Supreme Rules

Tree of Abyss!

Ethereal Guardians!

Ling Xiaolong was once again taken aback, not only by the revelation of the Tree of Abyss, another entity on par with the Tree of Chaos but also by the Abyss Emperor's emphasis on the term 'Ethereal Guardians'. It seemed as though there was a deeper meaning hidden within his words.

As if he were reading Ling Xiaolong's expression, the Abyss Emperor shook his head and then explained, 'As a Master of Chaos chosen by the Tree of Chaos, you might have already heard of the term Ethereal Guardian. If you think that an Ethereal Guardian is simply a rank of treasures, then you are mistaken. Ethereal Guardian also signifies the level of an entity; it represents their status as guardians.'"

"Ordinary Ethereal Guardians are nothing much, but when an entity rises to the High-leveled Ethrean Guardian rank, they become the guardians of a Cosmic Field."

When Ling Xiaolong heard this, he did not think of the Tree of Chaos or the Tree of Abyss, instead, he thought of the Lotus of Chaos. After evolving to 36 Petals Lotus, it had already reached the rank of an Ethereal Guardian. Moreover, it just happened to become the guardian of a Cosmic Field, his personal Chaos.

But then, he shook his head, thinking about the fusion of Celestial Glory Blade and the Infinity Edge Blade, and then thinking of the Void Shattering Spear.

There seemed to be something in his mind, but it was unclear.

Abyss Emperor continued, "Be it the Mother Goddess of Abyssals, the Tree of Abyss, or the Goddess Mother of Chaos, the Tree of Chaos, how they come into existence remains a mystery even to them. However, I have several theories. One important hypothesis is that they do not originate from a mother or were created by someone; instead, they emerge from something extraordinary, something which is beyond our understanding."

Ling Xiaolong was again surprised. He then suddenly recalled that when he was still Ye Xiao adventuring in the incomplete Chaos, he saw two seeds suddenly appearing in the infinite expanse of darkness. One was the Seed of Tree of Chaos while the other one was the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

One of the seeds sprouted and grew, transforming into the Tree of Chaos, but the Timeless Enlightenment Seed remained unchanged.

The information that Ling Xiaolong recalled was the sudden appearance of these two seeds in the infinite darkness.

Indeed, they were neither born from something nor created by something. They seemed to have just... Just appeared!

"I stand on the same level as the Mother Goddess of Abyssals, the Tree of Abyss. While my Mother Goddess can control all Abyssals, she cannot control me. However, this does not mean I am free. No, I am still bound to my Mother Goddess. This is also why I cannot leave the Abyss and seek out another Dark Cosmic Field similar to the Abyss but with a higher level of existence."

"Because I am bound to the Tree of Abyss yet stand on the same level as it, you could say that not just in terms of cultivation, I am the true King of Abyss also in a real sense as well."

"That's why my Mother Goddess and I are your true enemies. The Tree of Chaos chose you not to kill Abyssals, but to kill me and the Tree of Abyss. Only by killing us can the calamity that the Chaos is facing will truly be eradicated. Only then can you truly wipe out all Abyssals."

Ling Xiaolong finally understood the purpose behind the Tree of Chaos choosing him and giving him the Primordial Origin Bloodline.

"Ok, I am done. It is time to kill you!"

Abyss Emperor laughed and suddenly attacked.

Ling Xiaolong did not expect the Abyss Emperor to be so resolute. He attacked immediately after explaining why Ling Xiaolong was chosen by the Tree of Chaos. He did not even give Ling Xiaolong time to contemplate his words.

Ling Xiaolong suddenly felt the space around him solidifying. The space itself transformed into a spatial prison that trapped Ling Xiaolong.

"Puff!"

Abyss Emperor appeared in front of Ling Xiaolong at this moment, his hand piercing through Ling Xiaolong's chest. Blood flowed out of Ling Xiaolong's mouth.

Abyss Emperor displayed a sinister smile on his face as he slowly withdrew his hand, revealing a hole in Ling Xiaolong's chest.

"It is over!"

As Abyss Emperor spoke, dark bolts of lightning appeared around him as he attacked, obliterating Ling Xiaolong's body in an instant.

However, before the Abyss Emperor could rejoice, he heard a sentence that caused his body to tremble.

"Are you sure it is over?"

He slowly turned his head, only to realize Ling Xiaolong looking at him with a ridiculing smile on his face. Obviously, Ling Xiaolong was mocking him for thinking that he had killed Ling Xiaolong.

"Illusion!"

It was at this moment the Abyss Emperor realized that everything was nothing more than an illusion. He did kill Ling Xiaolong, but not in reality but in an illusion.

In reality, Ling Xiaolong had long since moved away from his original position and instead created an illusion, making the Abyss Emperor believe that he had successfully killed Ling Xiaolong.

In fact, when the Abyss Emperor began explaining why the Tree of Chaos had chosen Ling Xiaolong, Ling Xiaolong had already taken action. He had always possessed the Eyes of Illusion, although he seldom utilized them, he had a thorough understanding of their capabilities.

Now, with the assistance of the Primordial Origin Eyes, which turned out to be the origin of all kinds of eyes ever to appear in Chaos, he effortlessly created an illusion to trap the Abyss Emperor.

"You puny creature! How dare you play with me?"

Abyss Emperor was angered. He never expected to be played by someone far weaker than him one day. Unable to control his emotions, he shouted furiously and a shocking aura exploded from his body.

This aura was unparalleled. Ling Xiaolong felt like facing a monster that could swallow him whole and he would not be able to even resist. Such a feeling of helplessness was something he had never felt before.

Of course, it was just a feeling. Ling Xiaolong was long prepared and already had an idea of how to fight the Abyss Emperor. He was confident that even if he could not kill the Abyss Emperor, the Abyss Emperor also could not do anything to him.

The sky was suddenly brightened due to the Reflection of Chaos. This time, Ling Xiaolong was ready to go all out, so he did not hold back anything.

Abyss Emperor was extremely fast. His figure flashed and he appeared in front of Ling Xiaolong and attacked. Abyssal Energy swarmed around him and manifested into a dark spear. He grabbed the spear and stabbed.

The force behind his stab was so powerful that half of Ling Xiaolong's body exploded into smithereens. The part of his body that exploded included his head.

Abyss Emperor smiled ferociously, believing he had killed Ling Xiaolong. It is because the stab was not simple. It not only destroyed half of Ling Xiaolong's body, but also his soul. Even the armor manifested from the bloodline power was unable to defend itself.

"One more attack and you are dead!"

The Abyss Emperor snorted coldly and stepped forward, intending to land the final blow. Just as the Abyss Emperor took a step forward, he witnessed a bizarre scene. It was as if time had started flowing backward, the destroyed part of Ling Xiaolong's soul and body started recovering rapidly. In just a mere few seconds, he returned to the state right before the Abyss Emperor's attack.

"This..."

The Abyss Emperor was shocked beyond belief. He stared at Ling Xiaolong and thought of something before raising his head and looking at the Reflection of Chaos.

"Rule of Time!"

"So you are able to use the Power of Rules due to this reflection. No wonder you did not die and recovered quickly!"

The Abyss Emperor has been alive for an unknown number of eons. He obviously had a lot of experience. Instantly being able to tell how Ling Xiaolong pulled the stunt earlier was not a surprise.

Ling Xiaolong also knew that the Abyss Emperor could obviously guess.

"This must be your trump card. But, do you really think this trump card could stand a chance in front of me?"

The Abyss Emperor snorted coldly and attacked.

At first, it seemed as if he was about to attack Ling Xiaolong. Ling Xiaolong was prepared for that.

However, just as the Abyss Emperor arrived in front of him, the Abyss Emperor disappeared, appearing tens of miles high in the sky.

Ling Xiaolong was startled for a moment before a realization quickly struck his mind. He knew that the Abyss Emperor was planning to destroy the reflection of his Chaos. As long as the Reflection of Chaos is destroyed, he won't be able to use any Rule.

After all, he was in the Abyss, not in the Chaos.

He was able to utilize the 36 Supreme Chaos Rules not solely because he was the master of his Supreme Chaos, but rather due to the manifestation of the Reflection of Chaos in the void of the Abyss. This reflection projected the influence of the 36 Supreme Rules, allowing him to harness the power of these Rules to his advantage.
