A blood-red streak of sword light, powerful enough to tear the heavens apart, suddenly erupted. Carrying all of Xia Lun’s strength and will, it slashed viciously toward the Chaos Demon God’s neck.
Whether it would work or whether it could injure the Chaos Demon God… none of that was something Xia Lun needed to consider now. At this moment, his mind was free of all distractions.
Fight. That was all.
A gigantic hand extended from behind the Chaos Demon God and casually slapped Xia Lun’s sword light apart, as though shooing away an insignificant insect.
The Chaos Demon God itself remained in the same pose, its arms crossed.
“Struggling in vain.” The Chaos Demon God shook its head. “Are you going to continue? This is completely meaningless… You should know that none of this can hurt me.”
Those were the very words Xia Lun had said to the Chaos Demon God earlier.
But Xia Lun did not stop moving.
Several more blood-red streaks of sword light tore through space and shot toward the Chaos Demon God.
Behind it, the enormous hand that had just shattered the sword light slowly spread its five fingers.
That palm seemed to transform into the sky itself. Powerful energy radiated from its center, enveloping all the sword aura… Then, amid their struggles, the blood-red sword aura rapidly dimmed, finally extinguishing like a candle flickering in the wind.
With a casual gesture, the Chaos Demon God effortlessly neutralized Xia Lun’s attacks.
Every strand of sword aura Xia Lun released possessed incomparable power. In his former world, even those several Demon Kings would have dodged in alarm, not daring to receive such attacks head-on.
Yet before the Chaos Demon God, they were no more threatening than a gentle breeze brushing across its face.
Another arm emerged from behind the Chaos Demon God. It seemed to cross space in an instant, reaching straight toward Xia Lun.
So fast!
Xia Lun did not even see the arm’s trajectory. All he felt was the space around him suddenly solidify. He was like an insect trapped in amber, even his thoughts becoming sluggish. Then, two fingers as immense as heavenly pillars appeared out of thin air on either side of his body and gently closed together.
Xia Lun’s pupils contracted. He immediately tried to dodge, but he still failed to react in time. He was caught between the Chaos Demon God’s two fingers.
“Urgh…”
The fingers were like two city walls, crushing Xia Lun between them. Immense force bore down on him, and he felt every bone in his body creaking.
“Didn’t I already tell you? All your efforts are futile. Aside from the Chieftain, no one is a match for me.” The Chaos Demon God lifted Xia Lun until they were at eye level. Its crimson eyes, seemingly ablaze, stared at this tiny yet stubborn life-form from close range. “I have no intention of killing you yet. Why don’t we have a proper talk?”
“What is there for us to talk about?” Xia Lun clenched his teeth and tried to circulate his power to break free. But every bit of strength he sent into those two fingers vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.
“My body has gone out of control,” the Chaos Demon God said quietly.
The words immediately seized Xia Lun’s attention.
“What?” Xia Lun froze. The Chaos Demon God’s statement struck him as utterly inconceivable.
“I cannot control my body. That is why my soul has appeared here.” The Chaos Demon God offered the explanation in an utterly matter-of-fact tone.
“What… does that mean?” Xia Lun asked with difficulty, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.
A being like the Chaos Demon God had actually lost control of its body and become separated from its soul? And judging from its words, this separation had not been voluntary.
The Chaos Demon God raised its head. Its gaze seemed to pierce through the Spirit Realm and reach the real world.
“Once my body finishes devouring everything in the world, it will return to chaos, and all things will become nothingness… Perhaps, after the next explosion, the world will be born anew.” The Chaos Demon God’s tone remained calm, as though it were explaining something utterly insignificant.
Xia Lun drew a deep breath. “Why… did your physical body lose control?”
“Because my physical body is simply too powerful. It’s a straightforward principle.” The Chaos Demon God glanced at Xia Lun. An exceedingly complicated emotion flickered through its eyes, so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch. “As I told you before, I am completely opposite to the Chieftain… I possess a powerful physical body and a weak soul, while he possesses a powerful soul and a frail physical body.”
“Weak…” Xia Lun looked at the enormous soul-form of the Chaos Demon God before him in the Spirit Realm, as well as the boundless sea of blood beneath his feet, and did not know how to respond.
“I endured the accumulation of two entire epochs before finally restoring my soul to its current state.” The Chaos Demon God seemed highly dissatisfied with its present condition. “But controlling my physical body is still extremely difficult… It even possesses an instinct akin to intelligence, resisting my entry.”
To Xia Lun, this sounded suspiciously like the Chaos Demon God was bragging about its physique.
But then again, when it came to existences on the level of the Chaos Demon God and the Chieftain, the “powerful” and “weak” they spoke of truly lay beyond the limits of ordinary understanding.
“My soul is still far too weak compared to the Chieftain’s…” The Chaos Demon God looked around the Spirit Realm once more. “That fellow, the Chieftain… his soul became the entire Spirit Realm.”
“What?!” Xia Lun was stunned yet again.
He only knew that the “weak” body the Chaos Demon God spoke of had ultimately transformed into their world—the beautiful planet that had nurtured countless lives, their cradle of life. But he had never imagined that this mysterious and unfathomable Spirit Realm, which connected life and death and ran through the cycle of reincarnation, had actually evolved from the Chieftain’s soul!
One could devour the entire universe with nothing but a physical body, while the other’s soul had become an entire Spirit Realm.
The two existences of the Void Epoch were truly terrifying.
Xia Lun suddenly recalled the fragments of memory he had witnessed in his dream. During that final battle that determined the fate of the epoch, after defeating the Chaos Demon God, the Chieftain had transformed into a dazzling mass of pure white light. The light had continued to expand until it finally enveloped the boundless void…
So that had been the moment when his soul transformed into the Spirit Realm.
The Void Epoch had originally possessed no concept of death. The Chieftain had broken the endless cycle of war and reincarnation, becoming the first “dead” being. It was also he who created the Spirit Realm and brought death into this world.
“So why are you telling me all this?” The Chaos Demon God still held Xia Lun between its two fingers. To be honest, the position was rather uncomfortable, but the other party did not seem to be on guard at all.
Still, Xia Lun forced himself to remain calm, analyzing the information contained in the Chaos Demon God’s words.
The Chaos Demon God said, “If my physical body completely devours the universe, it will inevitably invade the Spirit Realm next, and my consciousness will be assimilated as well. In the end, everything will return to chaos.”
Its physical body would devour its soul?
It sounded utterly unbelievable.
“So you want us to stop all this?” Xia Lun fixed his gaze on the Chaos Demon God before him. “Would you actually choose to help us?”
“Of course not.”
The corner of the Chaos Demon God’s mouth lifted by the slightest margin.
“I merely want to watch you struggle in despair.”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
