Chapter 800 - Unlocking the Temple

In the boundless void, primal-chaos vital energy abounded, so dense and strong that it was nearly impossible to penetrate.

Only someone with a very high cultivation base could survive here. Otherwise, the paleo-energy would seep into one’s body like mercury, dissolving the skin, meridians, and sea of consciousness, turning a person into primal-chaos itself. It was a terrifying area above the thirty-third ranked immortal worlds, a place where no heaven or earth existed.

Even a fifth division Godmyth who casually entered this area would be destroyed. Only ninth division Chaos Gods qualified to search for the godrelics that existed in the area.

That said, such efforts were akin to normal humans who entered the sea. Even particularly skilled swimmers could only stay submerged for a short time. Primal-chaos paleo-energy, by nature, could permeate and melt anything it touched. Even deathless god bones would be eaten away if they were exposed to it for too long.

Ordinary Chaos Gods who came to this area would have to swath themselves in deathless godliness or use god items that could stave off the energy with godhood. With such protections, they could search for treasure for a time, but they would eventually have to leave.

As for the people who had stepped onto the sixth or seventh stairs on the Deathless Heavenly Stairway and had a profound understanding of heaven, earth, life, and destruction, they would be able to go deep into the primal-chaos for extended periods of time. People like that might even be able to use primal-chaos paleo-energy for cultivation purposes.

That said, the depths of primal-chaos were often a very violent place, with deadly tempests that sprang up out of nowhere. There were primal-chaos hurricanes, primal-chaos tribulations, and even primal-chaos god lightning. Even the strongest of old-timers who were struck by such things would be incapable of making it out alive.

Even someone like Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven could end up losing his life in a place like this. According to the legends, the destructive power of primal-chaos could eradicate universes and crush gods.

Even the legion of gods was insignificant when it came to the endless primal-chaos. Whether it was in ancient times or the modern age, no one knew how far the primal-chaos stretched. They only knew that worlds were birthed out of it, and it was the source of tribulations that could overwhelm both mortal and immortal worlds alike.

Supposedly, everything would eventually end in a return to primal-chaos.

It was like the ocean, filled with islands that were immortal worlds, hells, mortal worlds, the past, the present, and the future.

Time. Fate. Karma. All of them would come to nothing within primal-chaos. It was within that eternal energy that the legion of gods built their kingdom.

As for the immortal worlds, they were like a speck of nothing compared to it.

The thirty-third ranked immortal worlds existed close to that primal-chaos. And according to legends from the ancient era, there had been occasions when enormous beasts emerged from it to attack the immortal worlds. In the end, the beasts had been suppressed.

However, the current incursions of the past and the future were tribulations that surpassed anything that could come from primal-chaos. After all, they threatened to actually influence the development of the primal-chaos.

At the moment, Leaf Dao-Denier was in the depths of primal-chaos, in the presence of a person who was profoundly ancient, yet looked like a young man. He wore beast hides, and there was a bone cudgel leaning up against his side, carved with complex designs that appeared to be the totems of some ancient tribe.

He was none other than Eldest Brother Secundus, a paragonic individual from the Primeval Age.

“Greetings, Senior!” Leaf Dao-Denier said. He could sense the extremely profound energy on Eldest Brother Secundus and couldn’t help but continue, “Many thanks to you for the kindness of saving my life. Unfortunately, that dirty swine Yang Qi still managed to get my pieces of the Aeonic God Psalter.”

“There’s nothing that can be done about it,” said Elder Brother Secundus. “He has a God Legion Seal, King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions, and the legacy of the Heaven Beyond Heaven. It would be impossible to randomly kill someone with a cultivation like that. It would require altering the dao of heaven and leading him into a trap in some deadly location. That said, Grand Emperor Ragefire Broilheaven is plotting against him, and there are plenty of other people keeping tabs on him. He won’t last forever against so many enemies. He seems impressive, but the truth is that he stands where the wind and the waves are fiercest. People from the past, the present, and the future are all out to get him, hoping for him to perish, which would leave the God Legion Seal unbonded and masterless. I can help you get those seven of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions, but I get the God Legion Seal. Agreed?”

“Of course I agree!” Leaf Dao-Denier said, fully aware that he was in no position to negotiate.

Eldest Brother Secundus nodded, a faint smile on his face. “Excellent. You obviously have a clear view of things. I have the constitution of an Eternal One. Of course, you’re no less special than me considering you’re a Fortuned One. From what I've heard, that Yang Qi is a Fateless One, which makes him even more mysterious and profound than either of us. At its core, being fateless means to have ‘empty fate’. Technically speaking, it's a combination of two different types of constitutions, both related to the mysteries of the legion of gods. That said, I cultivate a boundless technique from primeval times, a magic above magics, something that can fuse one's blood and special constitution in a very unique way. The reason I saved you is because of your special constitution. Fortuned Ones are hard to find, and if Yang Qi had killed you it might have been impossible to find another like you.”
