Chapter 281: Chapter 266 Tao of Chaos_1

Under the dim sky curtain, an enormous umbrella radiated the splendid radiance of stars and moonlight, like a dazzling river of light drifting in the void.

A thirty-foot-tall Woodman gazed indifferently at the approaching umbrella, leisurely lifting one hand.

This withered great hand released a thick Filth Power, quickly merging with the Filth Alien Power that pervaded the land.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Dozens of resilient branches covered in thorns burst from the cracked earth, entwining the handle of the umbrella.

Those branches, like sinister ivy, climbed along the handle and covered the Star-shattering Umbrella, with Filth Divine Power rich in numerous toxic and corrosive strengths infiltrating the umbrella.

Upon the umbrella’s surface, the stars that shone brightly began to extinguish, one by one.

The moon, as well as the cold well, was also engulfed by the Filth Divine Power of an Alien God from the outer realm.

In just an instant, the Star-shattering Umbrella became dull and lifeless, devoid of light and filled with a sense of deathly stillness.

Pang Jian’s expression changed slightly, ready to throw the Nine Suns Tripod to face the enemy.

At that moment, the cold, eerie eyes of the Alien God fixed on Pang Jian’s dantian, the Spiritual Sea.

"Spread," He commanded in an unknown language.

Countless streams of Filth Power exuding from Him, drawing upon the Filth Alien Power that already contaminated the land, forcefully surged into Pang Jian’s body, penetrating his viscera and reaching his dantian, the Spiritual Sea.

Black, light grey, dark green, ink blue...

A myriad of toxic substances, redolent of corrosion and mixed with destructive, ruinous, and maniacal Flame Force, rampaged within Pang Jian’s body, furiously pouring into his dantian, the Spiritual Sea.

That sea, brimming with Spiritual Power, once radiated with a sapphire luminescence.

As soon as it was contaminated by the myriad Filth Alien Powers, the vast sapphire Spiritual Sea swiftly changed color, and the Spiritual Power was quickly eroded.

The Woodman, whose true body resided in an unknown world, not only had the power to exterminate life, but also controlled several types of toxic, corrosive forces.

The Filth Alien Power emanating from Him could even mobilize the Filth Alien Power that had invaded the Fourth Realm, focusing it against Pang Jian, rapidly filling his body and Spiritual Sea with Alien Power.

With a cold voice in an unknown language, He said, "Human Race..."

Pang Jian, maintaining a sensory connection with the Corrosion Boundary Vine, understood this strange language and sensed His malicious intent.

Suddenly, Pang Jian tugged the corner of his mouth, showing Him a peculiar smile.

In the face of His sinister Divine Power and the ceaseless contamination of limitless Filth Alien Power, Pang Jian offered no resistance.

Laughing softly, he opened his arms as if welcoming an even more intense invasion of Filth Alien Power, with no fear or panic in his eyes.

He allowed the various toxic Alien Powers to dissolve all of his body’s Spiritual Power.

As his vitality slipped away, the Corrosion Boundary Vine he leaned on continuously pumped surging life into him.

The Corrosion Boundary Vine, anxious, repeatedly conveyed its thoughts.

"It’s okay,"

Pang Jian said with a smile, shaking his head.

Before long,

the Spiritual Power in Pang Jian’s body and Spiritual Sea was completely contaminated by the Filth Alien Power, leaving not a trace behind!

Be that as it may, it was then!

With not a wisp of Spiritual Power remaining in his body, the rampaging Filth Alien Power within him suddenly poured into his Spiritual Sea in an even more ferocious manner!

And, it was completely out of the Alien God’s control!

His dantian turned into a pitch-black pot, the mouth resembling a mysterious dark abyss, swallowing everything that could be swallowed!

His barren Spiritual Sea abruptly churned with dark, shadowy "sea water"!

"You, you..."

The Alien God in the form of the Woodman showed terror in its eyes.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

Within a radius of dozens of miles, all Filth Alien Power rushed towards Pang Jian’s "Chaos Sea"!

In an instant, Pang Jian’s desolate and withered Spiritual Sea turned into a vast expanse of a Black Sea formed by the confluence of Filth Alien Power!

In this Black Sea converged by Filth Alien Power, the Ice Pool and Flame Pool still existed, stars in the sky and the sun and moon remained unchanged, and a clump of wild Thunder Vortex appeared even more tumultuous!

The only thing that would ever conflict with Filth Alien Power was pure Spiritual Power, nothing else!

Pang Jian suddenly rose, wielding his spear.

"Milky Way Fission!"

An expanse of boundless darkness, conjured by Pang Jian’s silver spear, fell like a dark sky curtain towards the Alien God from the outer realm.

"Whir, whir!"

Within the pitch darkness, stars, sun, and moon sparkled forth, mixed with hail and thick thunderbolts, shooting Flaming Meteors that rained down on the Alien God below.

The horror in the eyes of the Alien God deepened!

"Chaos!"

Pang Jian whispered from the bottom of his heart.

In the depths of the darkening Star River, the sun and moon collided abruptly, hail and Flaming Meteors forcefully merged, Thunderbolt and the dark forces of destruction clashed, and each star exploded like diamonds.

He infused the Chaotic Sword Skill taught to him by Pu Zhaotian into the "Milky Way Fission," elevating the spear technique to a whole new level!

A dark Star River shattered above the Alien God’s head, while countless chaotic and ferocious forces exploded and fell together.

This Alien God, which had unnerved the Corrosion Boundary Vine, suddenly crouched, clutching its head with both hands.

Hundreds of thorny branches wrapped it densely, like thick, dried wooden armor.

"Boom! Crack, crack, crack!"

A rapid succession of brilliant flashes, together with the pouring darkness, gradually submerged the Alien God of the outer realm.

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

Thorny branches snapped and shattered in succession, turning into splinters and debris.

In that endlessly fissioning black Star River, the branches wrapping Him were obliterated one by one, forcing Him to reveal his carved wooden form.

"Sizzle!"

A gray-brown Alien Light, harboring a sliver of His Divine Power, splashed out with the shattering branches, falling onto the withered ground.

Alien light fell to the ground, melting into the sea like water, drawn up by the roots of the Sapling of Cloud Marsh.

The soul of the Sapling was boiling!

It had not expected, after the Spiritual Power in Pang Jian’s body had been completely eroded away, that Pang Jian would manifest strength in an even more formidable manner.

It had become stronger than ever before!

Pang Jian wielded the Astonishing Spear, fully venting the inexhaustible Filth Alien Power within his body.

Back in Bagua City, that genius girl from the Li Family had suggested that he stay in the Eternal Darkness of the Fifth Realm, saying that his unique Chaos Sea was most suitable for the Fifth Realm.

At this moment, he felt Li Yuqing was right.

The Filth Alien Power, formed by mixing various sources of filth, exploded with fermenting power through his Chaos Sea, and its might was exaggerated to an extreme!

He had not anticipated that upon reaching the Hollow Profound Realm, by emptying the Spiritual Power inside his body and welcoming the swelling of the Filth Alien Power with the Chaos Sea, he could burst forth with such tremendous force.

"Compared to the Marrow Cleansing Realm of the past, I am much stronger now, and the Chaos Sea has become even more peculiar."

"In addition, I have the enhancement of the Chaotic Sword Skill."

Suddenly, Pang Jian transformed the Astonishing Spear into a silver rainbow, wielding the long spear as though it were a sword.

A chaotic Sword Intent and a turbid sword light slashed towards the Woodman, who could no longer rise from its crouched position.

"Crack!"

The body of the Wood Tribe’s Alien God, previously carved into statue form, which had been severely damaged by the cleaving darkness of the Star River’s fission, was split in two by his sword.

"Hu!"

As the wood sculpture shattered, plumes of grey-brown smoke billowed out, attempting to invade Pang Jian’s Sea of Consciousness with Divine Consciousness, intent on poisoning his spirit.

"I knew it."

Far from being alarmed, Pang Jian was delighted, and immediately summoned the Bee King that was still within the "Purgatory Gate."

"Buzz!"

Four glistening golden Bee Insects, as if they teleported, appeared out of nowhere in Pang Jian’s Sea of Consciousness.

Fluttering their transparent wings greedily and thirstily, the Bee Insects chased after the grey-brown smoke to absorb it.

"Whoosh!"

Shortly after, the four Bee Insects underwent division, turning into eight.

These eight golden Bee Insects, all absorbing the residual Divine Consciousness of the Alien God from the Outer Realm, naturally doubled their efficiency.

In no time, the bellies of the eight Bee Insects were round and full, each one having eaten to its heart’s content.

Then...

The eight grateful Bee Insects, each spat out a dollop of golden honey toward the "Spring Eye" below in his Sea of Consciousness.

Only then did the Bee Insects vanish from his Sea of Consciousness.

The "Purgatory Gate" that had cracked open began to draw vital energies from Pang Jian’s flesh and blood, nourishing the newly forming bee pupae.

Narrowing his eyes, Pang Jian saw not just four more pupae within the bee nest.

There were a full eight new pupae!

Together with the Bee King, the total number of pupae in the nest now was thirteen.

"Strange..."

Pang Jian was puzzled, unable to grasp the pattern of the pupae’s formation.

He had presumed the initial four golden Bee Insects were the Bee Souls of the four pupae inside, but after one division, turning from four into eight Bee Souls, eight new pupae had actually formed in the nest.

He couldn’t understand the principle behind it.

While he was bewildered.

Deep within the earth of Cloud Marsh, the thorny branches that had flown out from under the feet of the Woodman Alien God began to turn into sawdust, section by section, due to the loss of divine nourishment.

The split Alien God also fell deep into the ground.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The members of the Wood Tribe, contaminated and infected, died instantly, collapsing on the ground miles away.

Even after death, these bodies of the Wood Tribe warriors, shrouded in withering death, continued to infect the land of Cloud Marsh, causing all nearby trees and plants to wither and die.

"A dreadful Different Kind!"

"We hope that the God Spirit we worship is unharmed."

"..."

The people of the Wood Tribe in the vicinity watched sadly as their deceased kin, aware that an evil capable of infecting the entire Wood Tribe had descended.

Suddenly, they were captivated by a distant radiance and looked up one after another.

In the distance.

The green branches of the Sapling suddenly emitted an even more dazzling divine light, swaying with the joy of survival after catastrophe.

Its mind and consciousness conveyed this sentiment.

While it was delighted, it also harbored deep concerns for the future.

According to its ancestral memories, when Alien Gods like the Woodman began to emerge in this world, it had to be prepared to face them continually.

The Woodman was merely a puppet of an Alien God from the Outer Realm, not even amounting to an avatar.

Although it had dealt with this Woodman with the help of Pang Jian, it had now been exposed to the view of that Alien God.

As destined enemies, with the gates of the Purgatory World now wide open, the other party would certainly not rest, and would try everything possible to deal with it, to destroy everything it currently had.

The other side had a strong contaminating force against the Wood Tribe, and the Filth Evil Power could also control the members of the Wood Tribe.

Moreover, the adversary was very familiar with it, knowing it inside and out.

It worried that in the days to come, the Alien God targeting it would attempt other methods, employing more vicious and treacherous tactics against it.

"Our growth must be quick enough. Only in this way can we confidently face the invasion of Alien Gods in the era of rampant disasters and calamities," Pang Jian responded.
