Chapter 1496: Connected Psyche
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
At that moment, in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, Yi Yun was constantly absorbing the nebulous Primordial Chaos inside the Chaos Gems.
During this process, Yi Yun felt as though he was slowly becoming one with the Chaos Gems.
He extended his perception out, vaguely sensing that the other Chaos Gems which were located in this Universe were a great distance away. He was feeling their presence as a Chaos Gem.
They were born together at the birth of the Universe. Then, over a prolonged period of time, they flew through the cosmos, absorbing the worldly essence, fusing with the worldly laws.
Yi Yun seemed to witness the changes of the vestiges of time from the perspective of a Chaos Gem.
These were the memories that belonged to the Chaos Gems.
He discovered that the Chaos Gems seemed to be connected. They could sense each other and, even after gaining sentience, they could transmit information among themselves.
These Chaos Gems were far more complicated than he imagined.
Yi Yun was delighted that he had not destroyed these Chaos Gems, but instead came to understand their world by coming into contact with them. Otherwise, how could he have had such an experience?
…
Time passed slowly as Primordial Chaos Daolord waited outside the cyclone. Even though it had only been ten hours, he still found it excruciatingly long.
Primordial Chaos Daolord was in a hurry to explore this primeval Universe and its secrets. He wanted to know why the space existed in the ancient battlefield and the opportunities it offered.
He had planned on seeking the opportunities after killing Yi Yun, but who knew that the seemingly-simple pursuit of Yi Yun would delay him by more than ten days?
It was unknown what Sacred Horizon Divine Lord and company had found during such a long period of time. It would be troublesome if all the good things were already snatched by Sacred Horizon Divine Lord.
"Oh?"
Just as Primordial Chaos Daolord was feeling anxious, he suddenly saw a gray beam flash by. It was very fast, but with his knowledge of Primordial Chaos laws, he had extremely sharp senses. He could still vaguely identify the gray beam of light.
It was… a Chaos Gem!?
Primordial Chaos Daolord held his breath. The ancient artifact he had obtained from the opportunity he gained years ago had a core made of a Chaos Gem. He was very familiar with Chaos Gems and would absolutely not make a mistake in identifying one.
This primeval universe actually had Chaos Gems!? Furthermore, from the looks of it, these Chaos Gems had even gained sentence. They were absolutely superior grade ones!
Primordial Chaos Daolord turned agitated instantly. He was in great need of them. He had made it a point to rush to the ancient battlefield because he had heard of the Divine Perish Hall and the existence of nebulous Primordial Chaos. Now that Yi Yun, a vessel of nebulous Primordial Chaos, was being trapped by him, his additional discovery of Chaos Gems really made the ancient battlefield a land of opportunity for him!
Primordial Chaos Daolord's body phased away as he chased the Chaos Gem. He grabbed at one, sealing off the void in the process.
Although Primordial Chaos Daolord did not have a Primordial Chaos space, his strength was much more profound than Yi Yun's. After some minor struggle from the Chaos Gem, Primordial Chaos Daolord caught up to it. And with that, he held it in his hand.
"Where do you hope to escape to!? Now that I have you, I will absorb you, putting you to full use."
Primordial Chaos Daolord laughed out loud. The Chaos Gem in his hand was only the size of a sesame seed. It was pinched in between his index finger and thumb, nearly cracking in the process. He was constantly extracting the energy within.
"Hiss–"
The Chaos Gem let out a burdened sound as though it was about to shatter into dust when—
"Boom!"
Yi Yun charged out the Primordial Chaos cyclone with an explosion. He did not stop for a single moment as he slashed his sword right at Primordial Chaos Daolord!
"Oh?" Primordial Chaos Daolord never expected this to happen. In his alarmed state, he hurriedly raised his hand to block. He ended up loosening his grip on the Chaos Gem, sealing it temporarily in a space beside him.
"Chi!"
The sword flash struck the protective Yuan Qi in front of Primordial Chaos Daolord. Immediately, Yuan Qi stirred violently as a loud bang that sounded like an explosion rang out.
At that moment, Yi Yun's figure had charged out like a fish in water. He charged straight for the Chaos Gem. Yi Yun had previously cracked Primordial Chaos Daolord's spatial restraints. After he absorbed the Chaos Gems inside the Primordial Chaos cyclone, his nomological insights had grown deeper. The moment he attacked, he once again slashed out a strike that destroyed laws.
Boom!
Yi Yun sliced through the spacial prison with one strike. He then extended his hand to grab the Chaos Gem. Following that, Yi Yun's figure charged towards the stellar cosmos.
"You are courting death!" Primordial Chaos Daolord erupted with killing intent, with anger that was impossible to appease. He never expected that Yi Yun would not be damaged in any way while inside the Primordial Chaos cyclone. If he did, he would not have been snuck up on and have his Chaos Gem stolen from under his nose.
After waving his hand, he stored away the array flags in a discreet location. He immediately chased at full speed.
And so it became just like the past. Yi Yun was fleeing in front, while Primordial Chaos Daolord was chasing behind him. However, Primordial Chaos Daolord was even more enraged, feeling as though blood was flowing in the opposite direction in him. Yi Yun had already snatched two precious things from him. The last time he had snatched away the Ancient Fey powers gathered in the Massive Chaos Godfiend Array. And this time, he was practically snatching the Chaos Gem right from his hands!
Primordial Chaos Daolord had already realized that he had underestimated Yi Yun's mysterious cauldron. The cauldron had been able to withstand such violent Primordial Chaos turbulence. It could no longer be well described by extraordinary.
It was unknown what secrets this person's body held. It wasn't just about him finding Yi Yun's corpse and the acquirement of Yi Yun's opportunities, he probably had other surprise encounters.
Genius warriors could grow stronger all because of the opportunities they found. Primordial Chaos Daolord was no exception. Apart from the opportunities attained in various mystic realms, one could take the treasures from a warrior laden with treasure. Killing him and taking his treasures was also a humongous opportunity!
Primordial Chaos Daolord was bent on killing Yi Yun, filled with a rage that was never as intense in the past.
As for Yi Yun, he was flying rapidly ahead. In his hand, he held the Chaos Gem that he had grabbed from Primordial Chaos Divine Lord.
He had the intention to collect these Chaos Gems before finding somewhere to release the them. The Chaos Gems were damaged when they were absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Daolord's explosion. However, the long rivers of time could slowly mend them.
As he had fused with the Chaos Gems' thoughts, Yi Yun could already sense the Chaos Gems. They were the most fascinating lifeforms in the world. He could not bear to see these Chaos Gems damaged.
And at that moment, the energy within the Chaos Gem automatically exuded out and seeped into Yi Yun's palm.
"This…" Yi Yun was taken aback before he came to a realization. The Chaos Gems had already gained sentience. They could also sense one's kindheartedness. In order to thank him for saving it, it had volunteered to give him a wisp of nebulous Primordial Chaos.
As such, there was no need for Yi Yun to continue refining it by himself. He naturally did not need to stop. As such, he continued absorbing the nebulous Primordial Chaos in the Primordial Chaos Gems while he fled from his enemy.
