Chapter 114: Chaos Physique Awakened

The moment Victor stepped through the spatial gate, an overwhelming pressure descended upon him.

Boom!

The portal closed behind him.

The surrounding air felt incredibly heavy, carrying a dense aura of violence and bloodshed. Every breath he took contained rich cosmic energy, several times denser than previous Ethereum which had mad.

This planet had a different type of energy.

Victor slowly looked around.

He stood atop a weathered cliff overlooking an endless primordial wilderness.

Gigantic trees stretched thousands of meters into the sky, their trunks as thick as mountains. Vines the size of dragons wrapped around them, while colorful flowers released strange spores into the air.

Far in the distance...

ROAR!

A deafening beast roar shook the heavens.

Another answered from the opposite direction.

Then another.

Within seconds, dozens of terrifying roars echoed across the world, each carrying an oppressive aura capable of making ordinary cultivators collapse in despair.

Victor narrowed his eyes.

"So these are the monsters Yehan spoke of..."

The terrifying aura he had sensed just moments ago still lingered in his mind. It was not just one presence. There were several of them scattered across the planet, each one carrying an overwhelming pressure that completely surpassed his current level.

After observing them for a few moments, Victor quietly shook his head.

"Oh boy... I am not a match for them yet."

"I should comprehend the Chaos Domain first."

He immediately abandoned the thought of exploring further. His current strength was enough to dominate ordinary monsters, but against Grade 10 Domain Master beasts, he would simply be courting death.

The crimson sky stretched endlessly above him.

As Yehan had explained before sending him here, this world had neither day nor night. Endless slaughter over countless ages had stained the heavens themselves. The dense killing aura covering the planet prevented sunlight from ever reaching the surface.

Victor slowly released both his Mana Sense and his Space Sense.

The two perceptions spread together, scanning every corner of the surrounding forest. Mana allowed him to detect life and spiritual fluctuations, while his mastery over Space enabled him to perceive distortions hidden from ordinary cultivators.

Boom!

The bushes beside him suddenly exploded apart.

A dark figure shot toward him with incredible speed, aiming directly for his neck. Its movements were silent and precise, clearly belonging to a predator that specialized in ambushes.

Victor remained perfectly calm.

With a simple snap of his fingers, the earth beneath the beast erupted.

A thick stone spike pierced upward at terrifying speed, passing directly through the monster’s body before pinning it several meters above the ground.

Blood slowly dripped onto the forest floor.

Only then did Victor look at the corpse.

It was a Grade 8 Demonic Panther.

Its crimson eyes remained wide open, unable to understand how it had been killed before even reaching its prey.

The familiar notification echoed inside Victor’s mind.

[Ding! You have killed a Grade 8 Demonic Panther.]

[Ding! You have gained 35,000 Evolution Points.]

A faint smile appeared on Victor’s face.

"Good thing I activated my senses in time."

Without stopping, he continued searching for a suitable cultivation spot.

After traveling for nearly half an hour, Victor finally discovered a cave hidden behind several enormous vines growing across a cliff.

He carefully examined the surroundings with both Mana Sense and Space Sense.

After confirming that no living creatures were hiding inside, he nodded in satisfaction.

"This place will do."

Victor stepped inside the cave.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding earth immediately moved. Massive rocks rose from the ground and sealed the entrance completely, isolating the cave from the outside world.

Only after creating several layers of protection did Victor slowly sit down.

He took a deep breath before speaking.

"System."

"Merge all of my domains."

[-2,000,000,000,000 Evolution Points.]

The System immediately responded.

[Ding! You have merged all ten Grade 9 Elemental Domains.]

[Ding! Congratulations. You have comprehended the Chaos Domain.]

The instant the notification ended, Victor felt his consciousness explode.

An endless torrent of profound knowledge flooded into his mind.

Every mystery surrounding Chaos became astonishingly clear.

The greatest obstacle that had troubled him all this time completely disappeared.

Previously, no matter how hard he tried, Space and Time refused to merge with the remaining elemental laws.

Now...

That impossible barrier no longer existed.

Inside the cave, ten magnificent domains appeared one after another.

Fire floated at the very bottom.

Above it appeared Water.

Then Wind.

Earth.

Metal.

Lightning.

Light.

Darkness.

Space.

Finally...

Time.

Each domain radiated its own unique color, illuminating the cave with dazzling brilliance.

Gradually, the lowest layer began to shine.

The Fire Domain slowly merged with Water.

The newly formed domain continued absorbing Wind.

Then Earth joined.

Metal followed.

Lightning.

Light.

Darkness.

Space.

Finally...

Time descended.

Boom!

The entire cave shook violently.

The ten domains continuously compressed into one another.

The different elemental colors gradually disappeared.

The violent flames vanished.

The flowing water dissolved.

The endless darkness and brilliant light both faded.

Even Space and Time lost their individual forms.

Everything merged into a single existence. A deep, violent gray color slowly emerged. It was neither darkness nor light.

Neither creation nor destruction. It represented absolute origin.

The true Chaos Domain.

An indescribable pressure erupted from Victor’s body.

Boom!

The cave shook violently again.

Countless cracks spread across the walls.

Large rocks continuously fell from the ceiling as the entire mountain trembled under the pressure released by the newborn domain.

Victor slowly opened his eyes.

Before he could even examine the changes inside his body, another notification suddenly appeared.

[Ding! You have awakened the Supreme Chaos Physique.]

Boom!

A terrifying pillar of chaotic light burst out from Victor’s body.

The sealed mountain exploded into countless fragments.

The pillar pierced through the crimson sky and continued rising without end.

The eternal blood-red heavens split apart.

An enormous vortex appeared above the planet.

Inside the vortex, endless galaxies slowly revolved.

Countless stars were born and destroyed every second.

Brilliant nebulae expanded across the sky before collapsing into black holes, only to give birth to entirely new universes moments later.

The terrifying phenomenon covered the entire Beast Planet.

Every monster froze.

From the weakest Grade 1 beast to the terrifying Grade 10 Domain Masters, every creature instinctively lowered its head.

Their bloodlines trembled.

Their souls trembled.

It was not fear born from strength.

It was the instinctive submission of all existence before the origin of creation itself.

The phenomenon did not stop there.

The pressure spread beyond the Beast Planet.

One world after another throughout the Lower Universe shook violently.

Ancient experts hidden in countless forbidden lands simultaneously opened their eyes.

Every Domain Master looked toward the distant heavens with expressions filled with disbelief.

"What is that..."

"Such a phenomenon..."

"It feels as though the universe itself has awakened."

Meanwhile, inside the pillar of chaotic light, Victor’s body underwent a complete transformation.

His skin became transparent.

His flesh disappeared. His bones vanished. Even his blood no longer existed.

Inside his body...

Entire galaxies slowly revolved.

Billions of stars illuminated an endless cosmos.

Countless worlds were born every second. Countless worlds were destroyed every second.

His body had become a miniature universe.

Victor slowly raised his hand.

At that moment, an indescribable feeling surged through him.

He felt as though the entire universe rested within his palm.

If he wished...

He could crush stars. Destroy galaxies. Shatter heaven and earth.

Even the universe itself seemed capable of breaking beneath his will.

The sensation lasted only a brief instant.

Then everything disappeared.

His body instantly returned to normal.

The System’s notifications continued appearing.

[Ding! Grade 1 Chaos Domain has evolved to Grade 9.]

[Ding! The Chaos Physique has been sealed by the Universe.]

[Ding! There are a total of 9 Chaos Locks.]

[Ding! Increase your comprehension of the Law of Chaos to gradually break each lock.]

[Ding! Your bloodline has evolved.]

[Ding! Current Bloodline: Grade 7 Semi-Chaos Bloodline.]

Victor slowly floated several meters above the shattered ground.

His upper body was completely bare.

Only the tattered remains of his pants still covered him.

He slowly clenched his fist.

An unimaginable amount of power surged through every corner of his body.

"So much power..."

Victor frowned as he tried recalling the feeling from a few moments ago.

"It felt as though..."

"I had become a god."

He closed his eyes and attempted to grasp that mysterious state once again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the memory remained vague.

It was almost as though the universe itself refused to allow a mortal to remember such a sensation.

Victor could only sigh helplessly.

"Anyway..."

"Why the hell would the universe put locks on my physique?"

He felt extremely frustrated.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

He certainly was not capable of fighting the universe itself.

Another notification appeared before him.

[Combat Prowess: 1 Billion Mega Stars.]

Victor looked at the number and slowly nodded.

"My combat power has already entered the Domain Master Realm..."

"And I’m still only in the Elemental Lord Realm."

Just as he finished speaking, Victor suddenly sensed countless gazes fixed upon him.

He slowly lowered his head.

Below the shattered mountain, thousands upon thousands of monsters had gathered.

The surrounding land had transformed into a sea of crimson eyes.

Every beast stared silently at Victor.

Their expressions were filled with confusion.

The Chaos Aura released moments ago had awakened an instinctive fear hidden within their bloodlines.

None of them dared to attack while that aura remained.

Now, as the violent pressure completely withdrew into Victor’s body, the madness in their eyes rapidly returned.

One deafening roar echoed across the wilderness.

Then another.

Soon, countless beasts charged toward him simultaneously.

Victor looked at the approaching horde and smiled coldly.

"Let’s check the power of the Chaos Domain on all of you."
