Chapter 623: Beyond the Dou God

Whoosh.

The tides within the Sea of Chaos suddenly rose as Xiao Ming stared at the scene before him. In the midst of the Sea of Chaos, a huge swirl formed, which was immediately followed by a ball of chaos slowly rising from within it.

The glowing ball of chaos was like a faintly beating heart, and with its every movement, the whole world trembled.

As it "breathed," winds and clouds converged, tides ebbed and flowed, and the sun rose while the moon fell...

'This is the Dimension Fetus, it is indeed marvelous.'

Xiao Ming looked at the ball of chaos. Although he didn't sense any consciousness emanating from it, he could feel an astonishing spirituality.

No wonder it had troubled the Symbol Ancestor greatly, even leading him to sacrifice himself by igniting his Reincarnation. Even though he knew the plot, it took a tremendous effort and a grand spectacle to have the opportunity to come here.

If not for sensing the crisis, this Dimension Fetus would not have appeared before him so easily.

Of course, the appearance of this Dimension Fetus here probably intended to replicate the operation against the Symbol Ancestor.

However, he was not the Symbol Ancestor!

With this thought, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Ming's handsome face.

"Plane Spirit, I can help you expel the Yimo and restore this world to its former state. However, I need your power."

Xiao Ming did not hide his intentions and directly stated his purpose. He knew that although the Plane Spirit did not have consciousness, it still possessed spirituality. Hence, it could judge the jeopardy of this world by relying on its instincts and act accordingly.

Although the current crisis could be said to be largely of his own making, when it came to choosing between him and the Yimo, the choice to be made was clear.

As Xiao Ming's voice fell, the ball of chaos seemed to tremble slightly. Then a message appeared in his mind.

"Expel the Yimo first!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming knew that it was because he wasn't from this world that the Plane Spirit resisted him a bit. It seemed to be attempting to entice him with empty promises now.

But this was to be expected. If it were as simple as saying a few words, then this Dimension Fetus would have been taken away by the Symbol Ancestor long ago. Would it still be his turn?

However, he was in no hurry. As long as he continued to analyze the situation for the Dimension Fetus, he believed that it would make a decision.

Xiao Ming solemnly said, "Although I can easily exterminate the Yimo within the Tian Xuan Continent, you should understand that they are only a small army. Outside of this plane, there exists a much larger Yimo army that includes the Yimo Emperor."

"You know the strength of the Yimo Emperor. If he sacrifices half of the Yimo Tribe, I won't stand a chance against him. I will not stay behind to fight him to the death."

"How long can the seal of the Symbol Ancestor last after I leave? If he breaks free, this world will surely be completely invaded by the Yimo, and all living beings will be at his mercy."

"At that time, even you, the Plane Spirit, will hardly escape their grasp. You will be eroded by the Yimo Emperor and then absorbed and refined."

"You don't want this plane to suffer such a calamity, do you?"

As soon as Xiao Ming said those words, which contained such a heavy sense of tragedy, the Spirit Plane was clearly affected as well. The Primal Chaos Light around it grew stronger, yet there was no further action.

Xiao Ming's gaze flickered as he knew he was close, but not quite there. If he were to refine the Dimension Fetus, it would be equivalent to becoming the master of this plane, with the fate of all living beings depending on his whim.

Hence, as it was their protector, the Plane Spirit clearly did not really trust Xiao Ming, as he was an outsider.

Therefore, Xiao Ming took a step forward and said in a deep tone, "I swear by my Dao Heart. If I become the master of this plane, I will sweep away all Yimo and prevent the Fiend Clans from setting foot in this world again!"

His voice was loud and resonant, booming through the chaos as if accompanied by thunder, lingering for a long time.

Xiao Ming's oath was sincere, coming from the depths of his heart. Anyone else might not have noticed, but this Plane Spirit was born along with the world itself, so it was extremely sensitive to such vows. If there was any insincerity, even the slightest distraction, it would not be able to escape its senses at all.

Hence, not long after Xiao Ming uttered his oath, the Plane Spirit finally exploded into millions of chaotic rays. Within that chaos, a godlike melody seemed to emanate as hundreds of millions of shadows of living beings seemed to faintly appear!

Witnessing this scene, even the usually composed Xiao Ming couldn't contain his excitement! Waves of joy surged within his heart. He knew that this meant the Dimension Fetus had agreed!

Looking at the massive ball of chaos, Xiao Ming moved his body through the heavy and thick curtains of chaotic rays before landing unhindered on the glowing ball of chaos.

He sat down in a cross-legged position and closed his eyes slightly. Meanwhile, his body sank right into the glowing ball of chaos bit by bit.

In the midst of this state of chaos, it was as if time stood still, which just happened to give him enough time to perfectly absorb the Plane Spirit!

As his physical body fused into the glowing ball of chaos, his body suddenly trembled. The next moment, Xiao Ming felt as if he was in a sea of chaos as the boundless and vast chaotic energy immediately flew in. Finally, it transformed into a beam of chaos and slowly poured into his body from the crown of his head.

Boom!

This level of chaotic rays was the Primal Chaos Light that had been born at the very beginning of this world. It was boundless and vast! In terms of grades, even though it could still be considered a top-tier energy within the Great Thousand World, its existence was scarce. Only those worlds that had given birth to a Plane Spirit could obtain even a little bit of this energy.

Xiao Ming did not know if the Dou Qi Continent had ever produced a Dimension Fetus. Even if it had, considering the countless years of the continent's history, such a Primal Chaos Light would not have remained in his era.

Feeling the tremendous energy pouring in, Xiao Ming immediately circulated his Qi Method. Immediately, the "Spirit" within him trembled like a greedy maw, devouring the vast power that surged into his body.

In just a short span of a few dozen breaths, Xiao Ming felt his own strength advancing at an unimaginable rate. Despite being prepared, he couldn't help but marvel at the purity and endlessness of the Dimension Fetus's power. It was truly worthy of a spiritual being that had accompanied the birth of the world itself!

His head was spinning, but he quickly calmed his mind in order to gradually immerse himself into a profound cultivation mode.

Xiao Ming was in no hurry in this chaos where time moved slowly. He simply allowed the Primal Chaos Light to keep pouring in, while the Dou Qi within his body also grew at an astonishing rate.

...

In the midst of the chaos, time stood still, with only the Primal Chaos Light continuously pouring into Xiao Ming's crown.

This state persisted until a certain moment when a change finally occurred.

At this moment, an indescribable aura condensed within the chaos. As the aura formed, even the Primal Chaos Light retreated layer by layer, as if it dared not to make contact.

Xiao Ming's stone-like body seemed to start trembling slightly. The next moment, his eyes, which had been closed for an unknown amount of time, slowly opened.

Buzz!

It seemed as if the universe was contained within his pitch-black eyes. It was profound beyond measure. With a sweep of his gaze, he caused the space where he stood to be engulfed in turmoil.

Xiao Ming slowly closed his palms. He felt the indescribable surge of Dou Qi within his body. A simple trembling of his body felt like endless lightning bolts were crashing into him.

His robe and long sleeves were surrounded by the Primal Chaos Light. Every flicker of this light would cause the heavens and earth to shake and the winds and clouds to surge and howl.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at his own flesh, which was faintly illuminated by a jade light. It was truly untainted and pure to the utmost.

Not only that, but his soul also underwent a tremendous enhancement.

As long as the energy was sufficient, even if his physical body was destroyed and his soul severely damaged, regeneration with a single thought was not an issue.

"Is this the realm beyond the Dou God?"

Xiao Ming murmured to himself. This kind of majestic power that could destroy heaven and earth with a wave of his hand was far beyond what a Dou God could compare to.

He could sense that even his previous attacks unleashed with all his might were likely inferior to the strength he possessed with just a single palm strike at this moment.

"Such power is truly intoxicating."

"The name of the realm above the Dou God has long been lost. Let me rename it."

"This realm shall be called—Dou Immortal (Dou Xian)!"
