Chapter 2889: Chapter 2889: Chaos Realm

Fang Bai and the myriad gods of the Emperor’s Palace lingered at the Chaos Gate for several months.

During these months, no Star-Devouring Beasts approached the Chaos Gate. It seemed that those beasts emerging from the black hole within the Purple Crystal Sea were successfully intercepted by the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor and other gods.

Fang Bai and the gods of the Emperor’s Palace enjoyed leisure and ease, using the Chaos Divine Power projected by the Chaos Gate to focus on cultivation.

With the aid of the Chaos Divine Power, the myriad gods of the Emperor’s Palace each made breakthroughs in their realm and cultivation level, growing stronger in their combined might.

After Fang Bai ascended to the Divine Emperor Realm, the difficulty of ascending again multiplied significantly; progressing even a small step required a substantial accumulation of Chaos Divine Power.

However, his understanding and insight into the Array Path, through studying the array pattern on the Chaos Gate, made significant strides.

Over the months, Fang Bai had deciphered about seventy to eighty percent of the array pattern carved on the Chaos Gate. Given roughly another month, he was confident he could completely decode it and easily enter the Chaos Gate.

Thinking of the mysterious world beyond the Chaos Gate, Fang Bai’s heart couldn’t help but feel tense and uneasy.

On this day, just as Fang Bai was about to crack the Chaos Gate, three Star-Devouring Beasts suddenly appeared in the distant starry sky.

Those three Star-Devouring Beasts were colossal, with Fang Bai never having seen such size before, and their overwhelming might rivaled that of the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor — such formidable human experts. They surged together, carrying three overwhelming presences.

Perceiving the divine emperor-level aura from the three Star-Devouring Beasts, Fang Bai realized that relying solely on his few dozen Emperor’s Palace experts to confront them was impossible. Thus, he decisively stored the Great Might Divine Emperor and other Emperor’s Palace experts into his Five Elements Space Ring, then summoned the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, intending to resist the attack from the three beasts and find a way to escape.

"Escaping three divine emperor-level Star-Devouring Beasts all at once, it seems the situation with the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor isn’t optimistic!"

Fang Bai imagined fierce battles unfolding over at the Purple Crystal Sea, wondering how many Divine Realm experts might perish as a result, and couldn’t help but sigh silently.

As Fang Bai anticipated, after the appearance of the three Star-Devouring Beasts formidable as Divine Emperor Realm experts, they didn’t immediately assault the Chaos Gate but first attacked Fang Bai.

From the time Fang Bai encountered the Star-Devouring Beasts, he was puzzled why they viewed him as a threat, attacking him feverishly on sight.

Thinking back, he speculated it might be because there was some life form within the Chaos Realm behind the Chaos Gate with similar Chaos Divine Power to his own, and that life form was a great enemy of the Star-Devouring Beasts, causing them to extend their animosity towards him.

With this notion, Fang Bai grew even more intrigued by the Chaos Realm.

In truth, if not for the Star-Devouring Beast assault, Fang Bai could have deciphered the array pattern on the Chaos Gate and entered the Chaos Realm in one fell swoop today. However, now three beasts as strong as divine emperor-level experts were attacking from three directions, forcing him to first respond to the immediate crisis.

Three Star-Devouring Beasts, resembling small celestial bodies, sped towards Fang Bai for impact.

If the three Star-Devouring Beasts managed to encircle him, Fang Bai knew he would be locked into their aura, his mobility severely restricted, leading to a total loss of combat capability, with life and death then in their hands.

Thus, Fang Bai clutched the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and fled towards the Chaos Gate, hoping to draw the three Star-Devouring Beasts’ attention there, and then escape their entanglement once their focus shifted.

Yet, the divine emperor-level Star-Devouring Beasts were remarkably smart; appearing drawn to the Chaos Gate, they maintained encirclement momentum around Fang Bai, continuously forcing him closer to the gate.

Soon, the three divine emperor-level Star-Devouring Beasts surrounded Fang Bai from three directions, leaving him only retreat towards the Chaos Gate.

"What to do?"

Seeing the three Star-Devouring Beasts glowering fiercely, prepared for their final assault in the next moment, Fang Bai felt a surge of anxiety.

He was aware that facing the three divine emperor-level beasts head-on gave him no chance of winning; the best outcome would be being swallowed along with the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron by one of the beasts.

The alternative to confrontation was to turn and escape into the Chaos Gate.

Truthfully, Fang Bai always harbored reverence for the Chaos Realm beyond the gate, unsure of what kind of world lay there, and worried that it might hold even more Star-Devouring Beasts, filled with danger everywhere.

"Roar!"

A divine emperor-level Star-Devouring Beast let out a muffled roar, its eyes glinting darkly, as it opened its abyss-like mouth, lunging at Fang Bai.

A powerful suction and pulling force emerged from the beast’s mouth, causing Fang Bai, holding the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, to wobble, feeling as if in a storm, unable to stand firm.

"No more hesitation!"

Realizing continued indecision might result in being sucked into a Star-Devouring Beast’s mouth, Fang Bai suddenly turned and flew full speed toward the Chaos Gate.

In flight, his hands relentlessly traced array runes in the void, slapping them toward the Chaos Gate.

The dense array runes fell like rain, colliding with the Chaos Gate, and with a "boom" sound, the gate instantly opened.

Focusing his vision, Fang Bai saw only a patch of white light beyond the Chaos Gate, unable to discern the scene inside.

Behind him, the three Star-Devouring Beasts relentlessly pursued, their overwhelming presence swiftly closing in, seemingly poised to engulf him, allowing no time for hesitance.

Clenching his teeth, Fang Bai closed his eyes and transformed into a beam of light, flying into the open Chaos Gate.

After the instant weightlessness, his body felt bathed in sunlight of optimal warmth, with gentle breezes brushing over, akin to soft hand caresses, indescribably comforting.

Opening his eyes suddenly, Fang Bai found himself suspended in midair, below were interspersed green hills, clear waters, and vast grasslands adorned with colorful flora, overhead blue skies and white clouds stretched pure and distant, clusters of adorable sprites and small creatures flew and frolicked in the sky, scampered and played on the ground...

The world before Fang Bai resembled a blissful paradise, exuding tranquility and peace, calming his tense and uneasy heart instantly.

Upon looking back at the three Star-Devouring Beasts, they had vanished, without knowing where.

Fang Bai realized that upon entering the Chaos Gate, the three beasts had followed him inside, yet their whereabouts now remained unknown.

"This place, suffused with Chaos Divine Power, must be the legendary Chaos Realm."

Suspended in air, Fang Bai sensed the abundant Chaos Divine Power around, realizing this place was ideally suited for cultivation, negating dependency on Divine Crystals.
