# Chapter 1753: Chaos
Yun Gen rampaged through the cosmos, pushing the Stride Art to its absolute limit. His entire body sparkled brilliantly, his feathered robe dancing as he resembled a battle immortal about to cleave his opponent in two.
In this place, ten thousand laws coiled around, Dao waves vast and boundless. Ye Fan was entangled by resplendent order divine chains, resembling a great cocoon. Divine radiance fell like rain, light beams filled the sky.
At this moment, the heavenly earth laws had transformed into tangible chains, five lights appearing in splendor, ten colors emerging together, flowing mists overflowing with auspiciousness, dense vapors diffusing—appearing brilliant and dreamlike.
These order rules were like molten metal liquid, flowing amidst blazing luster, wrapping around Ye Fan, forging a cauldron and transforming into a furnace, nurturing him within.
The attacks of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, though they caused Ye Fan to cough up large mouthfuls of blood, could no longer shatter him. This made his expression change.
On the contrary, during a desperate counterattack, Ye Fan danced across the nine heavens, various blazing divine chains shooting forth, piercing Yun Gen's body with thousands of holes, causing him to explode once.
"This truly surprises me. You are actually worthy of battling me. If not for this poor Daoist having shocking immortal extreme speed, I might have truly fallen into your hands this time," Yun Gen said.
He stopped, standing in the distance, observing Ye Fan within the furnace-cauldron. A strange light flickered in his eyes, then he deeply inhaled a breath of primordial essence. With this single action, who knew how many star rivers in the cosmos dimmed, all transforming into immortal essence surging toward him, entering his body.
The various great clans of the cosmos were horrified. At this realm, one inhaled and exhaled the most fundamental essence of star domains. If they intentionally did so, it would truly be a great disaster.
The Carefree Heavenly Venerable stretched out his arms, continuously forming seals, executing secret techniques. This was an elevation based on the Stride Art, deduced to a degree incomprehensible to others.
One of his palms became crystalline and translucent, then violently trembled, forming a dharma seal that he struck toward Ye Fan's location.
"Chi"
Divine light dazzled, auspicious colors astonishing. It was a shocking immortal light, flying from his palm, directly entering the furnace-cauldron that resembled liquid metal, attempting to pierce through Ye Fan's body.
"Time Light!"
Even the existences within the Forbidden Zones of Life could not remain calm. Several exclamations of surprise rang out, clearly deeply stirred. This was a fearsome divine art that could threaten them.
This strand of light was not very thick, but it penetrated the law liquid surrounding Ye Fan, about to strike his body. Anything involving time was absolutely heaven-defying.
Ye Fan could not possibly meet it with his physical body. This kind of power was too strange. The slightest mistake would cause him to lose a massive amount of lifespan, something no one could bear.
He let out a light shout. The Primordial Qi Cauldron flew down, blocking in front of him. That light struck the cauldron with a *dang* sound, damaging the cauldron wall, creating a hole.
Moreover, the entire cauldron underwent a strange transformation, gaining a mottled quality, as if it had been buried under dust for ten thousand years. Traces of time densely covered it, making one's hair stand on end.
If this struck a person, what kind of scene would it be?
Everyone was shocked. The Nine Heavenly Venerables were indeed terrifying. Each person had reached the extreme in their own domain, incomparable to anyone else, already approaching immortality.
Operating such time power was not easy for the Carefree Heavenly Venerable either. This was a heaven-defying action. Years and time were taboo. He himself consumed no small amount. After regulating his breathing, his eyes became ice-cold.
A brief calm. Yun Gen roared, suddenly going berserk. No longer elegant and transcendent as before, at this moment he became an enraged lion, his entire body emitting light, dazzling and brilliant, attacking fiercely.
At his fingertips, one beam of light after another flew out, transforming into blazing torrents, like divine waterfalls falling from the nine heavens, all striking toward Ye Fan, attempting to destroy him.
Time Light!
Every beam of light was this kind of power. The battle had reached this point. Yun Gen had activated a forbidden divine ability. He did not want to delay too long, hoping to suppress Ye Fan in the shortest possible time.
Throughout the cosmos, all was silent. Everyone trembled. With so many Time Lights dancing, who could block them?
Ye Fan had already changed expression. He urged the Primordial Qi Cauldron, fiercely resisting. In just a few moments, more than a dozen small holes appeared in his cauldron, damaged and dilapidated. Fearsome power of years densely covered it, making the entire cauldron suddenly full of ancient meaning, as if it had been passed down from the Primordial Era.
This was a brutal slaughter. During this time, Ye Fan opened his mouth and spat out essence blood, transforming it into himself, using blood bodies to die in his place several times.
The existences within the Forbidden Zones fell silent. Only after a long time did someone speak.
"The Carefree Heavenly Venerable is indeed fearsome. Truly a strongman of the Mythical Era. Even if we went out, we might suffer a great loss, perhaps even fall."
"Time Light, a heaven-defying forbidden power. Truly difficult to deal with. It can suppress and kill Imperial Dao Supremes."
...
These were evaluations of Yun Gen's combat power by ancient emperors of the past. It showed how terrifying he was, and also demonstrated Ye Fan's strength, resisting until now without being destroyed.
Passively taking a beating was not Ye Fan's style. Ten thousand laws emerged together. He almost went berserk. Every pore of his entire body flowed with immortal essence, releasing laws.
Divine Phenomena, Nine Secrets, Soaring Immortal Force, Wu Shi Art, Heavenly Emperor Fist... At this moment, he seemed to transform into a thousand-armed ancient immortal, striking until heaven and earth shattered, returning to the Primordial Era.
Various beams of light flew toward Yun Gen. Killing aura spread, chaos surged to the heavens, drowning this place.
Even with extreme speed, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable was still hit several times amidst the sky-filling divine principles. He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, cracks appearing all over his body, suffering severe injury.
This was a brutal battle. Ye Fan fought desperately, prepared to drag Yun Gen to death with him. Carrying this indomitable battle intent, he made the Carefree Heavenly Venerable feel a chill.
This young man grew braver the more he fought, his eyes growing brighter. The Chaos Cauldron Furnace severely threatened Yun Gen.
The Furnace Nurturing Hundred Scriptures had actually begun to refine Yun Gen's Time Light, gaining defensive power. What kind of shocking change was this?
When this phenomenon occurred, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable's eyes went wide. How could this be possible? From ancient times until now, such a thing had never happened.
"Even if Emperor Venerable revived, he could only suppress with absolute combat power. How could this be?"
Boom!
The cauldron furnace blazed with light. Ye Fan himself also sensed this change. He found that various scriptures and methods were beginning to merge. Especially those secret arts that could restrain the Stride Art, such as the Wu Shi Scripture, which drew power from the cauldron furnace, pushing some time beams back to their origin point. The Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Art was also like this, diluting Yun Gen's brilliant rain of light.
Ye Fan understood. The Furnace Nurturing Hundred Scriptures was evolving the secret of the Chaos Body, capable of absorbing ten thousand Daos, smelting them into one furnace, becoming one's own divine principles and power.
Boom!
This place shattered. The cosmic star rivers were beaten into star ruins, dilapidated and broken. The Mother Qi Cauldron above Ye Fan's head was riddled with holes. But his gaze blazed brightly.
His left hand formed the Time Seal, his right hand formed the Space Seal, exhausting his ability, drawing the power of the great cosmos.
Another shocking change occurred. Time power gathered in Ye Fan's left hand, space power surged in his right hand. On one side was the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, on the other was the shattered void. He connected heaven and earth, incorporating all of this.
The four directions and up-down are called Space; ancient times to present are called Time.
Ye Fan's right hand formed the Space Seal to swallow the shattered void, while his left hand formed the Time Seal to draw the power of time, causing the two to merge, transforming into the divine principle cauldron furnace outside his body.
Ten thousand laws boiled. This place grew increasingly blazing. An ocean of divine power surged to the heavens.
"Youngster, you dare to use me!" Yun Gen was enraged.
The power of time no longer played such a great role. Part of it was transformed into the viscous divine principle swamp outside Ye Fan's body, absorbed within.
This was mainly because the Wu Shi Art, the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Art, and Ye Fan's Time Seal played a tremendous role, guiding the time divine principles to join in, making this place like the opening of heaven and earth.
Various laws manifested. The chaos qi here grew increasingly dense. Finally, the divine principle cauldron furnace outside Ye Fan's body began to transform toward chaos, annexing ten thousand laws.
The Carefree Heavenly Venerable drew in a cold breath. Could this truly be forming a Chaos Body? The moment he first saw it, he made this conjecture. Now it seemed it would come true.
Several great Forbidden Zones of Life transmitted sounds of doubt. The bloodline power of the Chaos Body was heaven-defying. Aside from the Primordial Sacred Body Dao Fetus, there was hardly anyone who could match it. Once it appeared, even Supremes would be wary. Various divine art attacks were almost ineffective against it. It could annex the eight wastelands, accommodate all laws of the cosmos!
Everyone drew in cold breath, ancient Supremes included. During the Mythical Era, a Chaos Body had appeared. Before even attaining the Dao, it had stirred up boundless waves, shaking heaven and earth.
Was Ye Fan truly going to evolve into a Chaos Body through acquired means? This was everyone's question. At this moment, they were incomparably shocked. The ancient Supremes within the Forbidden Zones shot out divine rays from their eyes.
Ye Fan himself was also somewhat confused. The Furnace Nurturing Hundred Scriptures—how had it transformed to this point? He was comprehending ten thousand laws to ultimately transcend. Chaos was not his Dao. How could this be?
Suddenly, he felt a chill. Something was wrong. Not only were ten thousand laws merging, slowly forming a Chaos Cauldron Furnace, but he himself was also about to return to nothingness, transform back into chaos.
"This is not my method. It wants to transform me into part of the heavenly earth laws. This is not my Dao!" He woke up with a start.
His Dao was transcendence, cutting against the grain, leaping out of the shackles of the entire great cosmos. This had been decided from the moment he severed the Dao at Immortal Three.
Chaos was not his method or Dao. This was to make him return to this world, smelted into part of the cosmos.
"I must leap out, undergo extreme transformation from within chaos. Otherwise, sooner or later I will destroy myself on this path!" Ye Fan realized.
But now, he had to walk this path, moving toward chaos. He had not yet reached the moment of extreme leap.
This was a difficult immortal path. One could fall at the slightest misstep. The slightest error would lead to eternal damnation!
Ye Fan understood. His heart gradually calmed. This was something that required long years of consideration. For now, it was not so urgent. He could draw close to chaos, walk toward it.
At this moment, this dangerous transformation was an effective means to deal with the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.
Yun Gen fought fiercely, holding the Immortal Tear Green Gold Vase, empowering his methods, spraying out one blazing beam after another, drowning Ye Fan's location. But the effect grew lower and lower.
Gradually, half an hour passed. The Carefree Heavenly Venerable grew anxious. He had not expected the battle to last this long. His ultimate sublimation consumption was too great. He could not sustain it much longer.
And now, he could no longer gain the upper hand. The Chaos Cauldron Furnace outside Ye Fan's body grew increasingly solid, absorbing Time Light, difficult to completely destroy.
Although Ye Fan within the law swamp was covered in wounds, suffering one heavy blow after another over this half hour, and even exploding together with the light cocoon several times, he had endured.
Ye Fan began to counterattack. The Carefree Heavenly Venerable's ultimate speed was useless against him. The opportunities to wound him grew fewer and fewer.
People sighed. When the battle reached this point, everyone knew that Ye Fan had reversed the situation. Yun Gen could not hold on much longer. Defeat was certain.
"A pity. I am old and decrepit. Otherwise, even if the Chaos Body came, I would kill it without hesitation!" The Carefree Heavenly Venerable sighed.
He could no longer hold on. The state after ultimate sublimation could not be maintained. He was about to fall.
"Boom!"
Ye Fan attacked. Ten thousand laws emerged together. The Chaos Cauldron Furnace trembled, crashing toward the Carefree Heavenly Venerable. In a violent great collision, Yun Gen's entire body cracked, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood as he flew horizontally.
"Pursuing the Dao, chasing immortality, questioning the azure heavens—can one be eternal? River of Time—manifest!" The Carefree Heavenly Venerable roared. Light drowned the cosmos.
This was his final strike. This battle was about to end.
