Chapter 473 Ch 473: Ling Xiaolong's Escape
??"Let me share a secret with you. Your assumption that destroying the Reflection of my Chaos would render me powerless regarding the Rules was flawed from the start."
"The Reflection of my Chaos is merely a reflection, an external manifestation; my Chaos physically resides within my body. When you and the Tree of Abyss were on the brink of obliterating me along with the Abyss, I retreated into my Chaos, albeit heavily injured."
"While I stand here within the Abyss, my Chaos exists within me. When I retreated to my Chaos, a complex interplay occurred where I was both within and outside my Chaos simultaneously. I mean, My Chaos is inside my own body, at the same time, I was inside my Chaos. Sheh... Describing it succinctly is challenging, as it involves the intricacies of the Absolute Rule of Space, a realm even my understanding of the Supreme Rule of Space cannot fully grasp."
Actually, Ling Xiaolong was indeed puzzled. Despite his profound understanding of the Supreme Space Rule, he still couldn't discern the mechanics of this phenomenon. How could he be within his chaos while his chaos simultaneously resides within him?
With the existence of both the Rules of Chaos and the Supreme Rules of Chaos, Ling Xiaolong speculated the presence of an even higher echelon of rules that might elucidate this mystery.
Speculating along these lines, he coined the term 'Absolute Rules of Chaos' for these higher-level Rules.
The Abyss Emperor was still confused, he did not understand the majority of what Ling Xiaolong said. He could not understand what Ling Xiaolong meant by 'his chaos'. The Tree of Abyss was the same, it also failed to understand what exactly Ling Xiaolong was trying to say, but at least, they both get the gist of a deeper meaning.
Although both of them already knew that Ling Xiaolong was not simple, it was only now they understood that he was hiding too deeply. His true strength is clearly much more than their imagination. If it is a King of Abyss at the initial stage, they'll definitely be killed by so many trump cards of Ling Xiaolong.
"We have to kill him no matter what. As long as he is alive, he'll become an adversary we might have to run from."
The Abyss Emperor's eyes brimmed with killing intent, his entire body pulsating with formidable strength, poised to strike and kill Ling Xiaolong swiftly. He understood that delaying the confrontation would only yield unfavorable outcomes; thus, he resolved to eliminate Ling Xiaolong with a single decisive blow.
Ling Xiaolong did not show any sign of fear, he remained unperturbed despite sensing the escalating malevolence emanating from the Abyss Emperor. He could feel the terrifying killing intent rising on the Abyss Emperor's body. He understood that the Abyss Emperor had truly started fearing his potential and was ready to kill him with his full strength.
In other words, if attacked by the Abyss Emperor this time, particularly with the Abyss Emperor unleashing his true power, Ling Xiaolong would undoubtedly meet his demise. There is no way he could escape alive at that time. There would be no means of evading death; not even taking refuge within his personal chaos could guarantee survival.
Why did Ling Xiaolong feel like this?
Ling Xiaolong harbored these thoughts because the strength wielded by a King of Abyss, especially one in the advanced stage, far surpassed that of a mere Master of Chaos like himself.
Not to mention, the Tree of the Abyss is also standing beside the Abyss Emperor.
Ling Xiaolong knew that even if he were to utilize the Supreme Rules of Chaos, the most he could guarantee was continuous destruction and reconstruction of his body and soul. He is not on the level to go against the Abyss Emperor in the true sense.
Although he could come back to life again and again with the help of Supreme Rules as long as his Chaos, particularly its reflection in the outside world, is not destroyed or sealed completely, the pain he'll have to suffer, and the torment he would endure from the ceaseless destruction and regeneration of his body and soul would be unimaginable. Ling Xiaolong couldn't ensure that his will wouldn't be shattered under such relentless suffering and agony.
That is why, he has to escape while he can. When he becomes strong enough to kill the Abyss Emperor, he'll come back for him.
Ling Xiaolong activated the Primordial Origin Bloodline to its fullest. Another layer of golden was layered upon the golden armor on his body. His golden eyes glowed brightly, as if they could see through all truth of the infinite darkness and were capable of annihilating the Cosmic Field.
A small, thin pillar of blue light shone in a straight line and started materializing into a structure.
Ling Xiaolong raised his hand and grabbed the small pillar of light which instantly materialized into a spear.
The moment the spear materialized, both the Abyss Emperor and the Tree of Abyss were startled, their souls seemingly shuddering. The aura emanating from the spear was utterly terrifying, suggesting its capability to pierce through all defensive layers of their bodies and annihilate their souls.
However, this was merely a sensation evoked by the appearance of the Void Shattering Spear.
Yes, the spear in Ling Xiaolong's hand was the Void Shattering Spear.
While Ling Xiaolong had just begun to face the Abyss Emperor, through his bond with the Void Shattering Spear, he felt that it had finally absorbed the Source Origin of the Eternal Fury Divine Spear fully, and completed its transformation. It had gone through several evolutions during this period and finally became an Ethereal Guardian-ranked weapon.
"A mere Master of Chaos like you actually possess an Ethereal Guardian-ranked Weapon. You truly have a lot of trump cards. However, you are not the only one who has an Ethereal Guardian-ranked Weapon."
As the Abyss Emperor spoke, he took out a demonic blade. As the blade appeared, the surrounding darkness thickened. Dark fog started appearing, obviously the effect of the demonic blade. Moreover, it gave a frightening sensation to Ling Xiaolong.
"This is the Dark Abyss Blade, created from the Source of Mother Goddess and several materials born within the Dark Abyss Sea within her body. Although that spear of yours and my Dark Abyss Blade both are Low-leveled Ethereal Guardian-ranked weapons, my Dark Abyss Blade is still several times stronger than your weapon."
Obviously, the Abyss Emperor was flaunting his treasures. Seeing Ling Xiaolong take out one trump card after another, a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Moreover, even after seeing the Abyss Emperor erupting with terrifying killing intent, Ling Xiaolong was very calm which surprised the Abyss Emperor. When Ling Xiaolong took out the Void Shattering Spear, the Abyss Emperor felt like Ling Xiaolong was so confident because of this weapon. He wanted to break Ling Xiaolong's confidence, which is why he took out the Dark Abyss Blade to show off.
The Abyss Emperor didn't know that Ling Xiaolong had no intention of fighting him. He was prepared to escape.
The gate through which he arrived here had already disappeared. If he wants to escape, he needs to find another path.
When the Void Shattering Spear completed its evolution, Ling Xiaolong got to know that it had also gained additional abilities. He was surprised and finally calmed down. He immediately thought of how to escape from the clutches of the Abyss Emperor and the Tree of the Abyss.
The Tree of Abyss was not physically present; it merely utilized its roots to help the Abyss Emperor. If it were to manifest fully, alongside its support for the Abyss Emperor, who already possessed the status of a King of Abyss, Ling Xiaolong's chances of escape would be utterly futile. His escaping this place will be impossible at that time.
Ling Xiaolong took a deep breath, plastered a smile on his face, pointed the spear at the Abyss Emperor, and asked, "Since you've introduced your blade, let me tell you the name of my spear."
"My spear is called the Void Shattering Spear. There is no void it can not shatter!"
As Ling Xiaolong spoke, he erupted with his full strength. He even displayed the Power of his Chaos which was frightening enough to make him fight toe to toe with an Initial-leveled King of Abyss.
After all that, Ling Xiaolong thrust the spear forward, causing the space to distort and behave like a mirror, folding into several layers, completely separating him and the Abyss Emperor from each other for a few moments.
Everything happened in an instant and Ling Xiaolong knew he only had a few seconds to escape.
The Abyss Emperor was startled at first but he quickly regained his senses. He immediately understood that Ling Xiaolong had no plan to fight, he wanted to escape.
He immediately used his full strength and utilized the might of the Dark Abyss Blade to slash, cutting the distorted and folded space in half.
By now, Ling Xiaolong had already shattered the void by plunging the Void Shattering Spear into the space behind him, creating a dark rupture. Hastily, he leaped into the rupture, employing the Supreme Rule of Chaos to seal and subsequently mend the torn space before teleporting deeper.
