Chapter 470 Ch 470: The Chosen One
"What?"
"Are you shocked by just this?"
The Abyss Emperor laughed coldly and asked, his voice filled with ridicule.
"Indeed!" Ling Xiaolong did not mind the Abyss Emperor's laughter. He calmly nodded and said, "I never expected you to be so powerful. It seems I was never your match to begin with."
The Abyss Emperor stopped laughing and inspected his now-recovered chest. Then he murmured in a surprised tone, "That attack was not bad. Generally speaking, even a King of Abyss, or as you put it, a King of Chaos, would not have been able to injure me, let alone create a hole in my body. It was all thanks to those 36 rules. I have never come in contact with rules like those!"
"Those are the 36 Supreme Chaos Rules I've comprehended. You can say that the 36 Supreme Chaos Rules are of a higher level than 108 Rules of Chaos."
Ling Xiaolong did not mind explaining a few things. After all, the Abyss Emperor had also told him several things. Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether he tells the Abyss Emperor or not. These Supreme Chaos Rules could be considered unique to him. No one else could comprehend these rules, as no one else possessed an entire, constantly evolving, Chaos within their body, with a Lotus of Chaos at its core.
The Abyss Emperor raised his brows. Then he pointed at the golden armor on Ling Xiaolong's body. This armor was manifested when Ling Xiaolong activated the Primordial Origin Bloodline.
"I did not expect you to be the Chosen One. You are indeed very talented and powerful. The Tree of Chaos did not make a mistake in choosing you. Unfortunately, the fate of your Chaos is already sealed. No matter how many tricks the Tree of Chaos may have developed over the last dozens of eons, everything will be for naught. I will definitely destroy the Chaos and consume its Source. But before that, I'll devour you and take the next step in my cultivation."
"The Chosen One?"
Ling Xiaolong could not help but ask.
He always had this question in his heart such as: why did the Tree of Chaos choose him? What is the reason? What does it want from him? Could it be that the Tree of Chaos is also going to manipulate him from the shadows?
He has many such questions in his heart.
But now, it seems that the Abyss Emperor is aware of the answers he needs.
"Oh, you're unaware? How can that be? I can sense the aura of your bloodline. It's precisely the aura of the very source of the Tree of Chaos. That bloodline must have been created by the Tree of Chaos from its own source. Once that bloodline is activated, even a newborn baby can possess the strength of the strongest in Chaos. However, the newborn's soul and body will not be strong enough to withstand the sudden surge of power and will inevitably explode."
Ling Xiaolong frowned. He was listening to these things for the first time. Even Queed had never told him about this, she only told him that the Tree of Chaos had given him the Primordial Origin Bloodline.
"Looks like you are unaware of another important thing."
Ling Xiaolong's attention was once again attracted by the Abyss Emperor. Without waiting for Ling Xiaolong to ask, he answered, "I can't smell the fishy human smell on your body. At first, I only thought that you must have used some sort of method to hide the fishy human smell, but now I understand that that smell is not present in your body because you are no longer a human."
"What do you mean?"
It has to be said that the Abyss Emperor's words worked on Ling Xiaolong. They were like a hammer hammering hard on his heart.
His heartbeat raced and an astonished expression could be seen on his face.
"If you are saying that I am no longer a human, then what am I now?"
The Abyss Emperor had a very serious expression. He no longer had that mocking smile on his face. It seems this was a serious topic which contains crucial information.
He said, "I've been to many Chaos. I've seen many Trees of Chaos as well. I've also destroyed and devoured all of them. That is how I raised my strength to this point. So, I do know about a few things that others do not know."
"You had blue eyes before the activation of your bloodline. Blue eyes and silver hairs are the sign of Primordials."
Ling Xiaolong could not help but interrupt, "Primordials? Is this a race?"
He recalled encountering a race known as the Primordial Race back in the Heavens. However, unlike Ling Xiaolong's distinctive features of blue eyes and silver hair, the sign of the Primordial Race was a unique mark situated between their eyebrows. This mark, known as the Primordial Mark, also harbored a very special and exclusive ability.
"Yes. To be more precise, Primordials belong to the Primordial Origin Race. In some of the Realms of Existences, also called Chaos, I devoured, the initial inhabitants had no direct association with Chaos. They were born within the Primordial Origin Sea of the Tree of Chaos, possessing the Primordial Origin Bloodline, having Primordial Origin Bodies, and Primordial Origin Eyes."
"However, it's worth noting that only a few Trees of Chaos dared to create the Primordial Origin Race and send them to Chaos for further development. This is mainly because the creation of even a single Primordial consumes a certain amount of the Tree of Chaos's source."
Ling Xiaolong was surprised. He did not expect this to be the case.
To this Chaos, he was a unique creature called the Primordial. However, in the vast expanse of darkness beyond this Chaos, he was not the only Primordial. There might be several others like him in other Cosmic Fields.
"At first, I was uncertain because it has been an exceedingly long time since I last encountered a Primordial. But now, I'm sure that you are a Primordial as well. I must admit, Primordials are truly remarkable beings. They are born with extraordinary strength. Moreover, regardless of their initial strength and weakness, once they activate the Primordial Origin Bloodline, their cultivation skyrockets all the way to Level 36 of Master of Chaos."
Ling Xiaolong fell in a deep thought. He started thinking about many events that were directly or indirectly connected to the Tree of Chaos.
At the end, he sighed and shook his head.
"What do you mean by the Chosen One? Could it be that I was chosen by the Tree of Chaos to face the Abyss and Abyssals?"
Ling Xiaolong was not stupid. After living for so long, he could also guess one or two things.
After learning all these things, how could he not guess the purpose of the Tree of Chaos?
However, to his surprise, the Abyss Emperor shook his head. He said, "You are half wrong and half right."
"What do you mean?"
"The Tree of Chaos has indeed chosen you to face the Abyss, but not the Abyssals. If I have to say it clearly, then the Tree of Chaos chose you to face me, the Abyss, and the Mother Goddess of the Abyssals."
Mother Goddess of the Abyssals?
It was not the first time Ling Xiaolong had heard this term. Back in the Land of Celestial Glory, a few Abyssals killed by him also spoke the same thing. They said that they were creating a path so that the Mother Goddess of Abyssals could descend.
Now that he thought about it...
Ling Xiaolong's body shuddered for a moment.
Even the Tree of Chaos had to choose someone in order to face this entity. Just how strong is this Mother Goddess of Abyssals?
"I know you have many questions in your heart. I'll clear all your doubts before killing you. I can at least do this much for you. Hahahaha!"
The Abyss Emperor laughed loudly, his eerie voice reverberating in the void, even creating a few tears that quickly recovered. His strength was monstrous, he was too strong.
"Tell me!"
Ling Xiaolong deeply breathed and calmed down. He also wanted to know everything. Since the Abyss Emperor was willing to answer, why would he not listen?
"Let me start with the Abyss." The Abyss Emperor looked directly into Ling Xiaolong's eyes and started to explain, "Abyss is just like Chaos. In fact, you can say that the Abyss and Chaos are two sides of one coin."
Ling Xiaolong nodded his head. He could understand what the Abyss Emperor was trying to imply.
However, before he could stop nodding his head, the Abyss Emperor threw a piece of vital information at him that he was unable to catch for a moment.
"Just as Chaos is born from the Tree of Chaos, the Abyss is born from the Tree of Abyss. These Trees of Chaos and Abyss are entities, also known as top-level Ethereal Guardians, born in the boundless expanse of darkness."
