Realms distant and near trembled as the Yin-Yang wheel gathered and absorbed the surrounding energies, channeling them into the azure vortex of chaos. The chaotic energies coalesced, twisting and distorting space and time itself.
From the heart of the vortex, a blue lightning bolt, shimmering with azure chaos, surged forth. The lightning bolt possessed a mystical aura, its power surpassing anything Liang had ever witnessed. It carried no blinding brilliance, nor did it emit deafening thunder. Instead, it was a silent torrent of raw, unyielding energy, capable of tearing through the very fabric of existence.
This was the Azure Chaos, the ultimate manifestation of Kun Peng Ancestor’s understanding of the Yin-Yang Way.
As the Azure Chaos and the Heaven Punishment Flame projection hurtled towards each other, the whole domain seemed to hold its breath in anticipation. The impact that followed was beyond comprehension, generating a cataclysmic explosion that reverberated through the fabric of existence.
The collision unleashed shockwaves that surged across the sky, making the heavens shake and the earth tremble. The celestial integration matrix, pushed to its limits, failed to absorb the catastrophic impact. This resulted in widespread devastation; mountains crumbled and cities, from Florie to any other planet lacking a potent defensive shield, were reduced to rubble. This single event profoundly shook the very foundation of the Runic Civilization, known for its formidable strength.
One after another, the countless seals surrounding Kun Peng Ancestor shattered into a million fragments, like glass dolls colliding with an unyielding force. However, with each seal’s demise, the Azure Chaos seemed to grow stronger, its radiant glow intensifying like a supernova seemed to be devouring the golden flames, assimilating them into its own chaotic depths. Slowly but surely, the Heaven Punishment Flame, that fearsome projection of heavenly authority, began to diminish, its once-overpowering presence fading into oblivion.
The heavens grew restless, yet there was nothing they could do. They were but mere spectators to this display of overwhelming power, an unrestrained force that toyed with their own.
The red lightning dragon, seemingly diminished, let out a deafening roar of fury and met the azure chaos head-on. The moment they collided, a deafening roar reverberated across the realm. The surrounding space shattered and the ground cracked beneath their immense power. However, to Liang’s astonishment, the red lightning dragon was consumed by the azure chaos. The celestial dragon screamed in agony and struggled violently, but it was a futile attempt to escape the relentless onslaught of azure chaos.
Eventually, the dragon’s form dissolved, returning to the heavens as a torrent of red lightning. The azure chaos faded, leaving only a radiant blue orb hovering mid-air. The orb emitted a brilliant glow, illuminating the realm with a celestial radiance, before ascending into the heavens, vanishing into the cosmic tapestry.
With the dragon’s final breath, the storm above Floria dissipated, replaced by an ethereal calm. The realm trembled slightly, as if in awe of the power that had just been unleashed.
For a long moment, silence reigned. Mortals and experts alike remained motionless, stunned into a speechless stupor by the awe-inspiring display of power they had witnessed.
Finally, Kun Peng Ancestor’s voice broke the silence. A single word, imbued with boundless authority, reverberated through the realm.
"Kneel."
At his command, the heavens trembled. The stars flickered and dimmed, obeying the unspoken order. Mortals and experts alike succumbed to an irresistible force that crushed their will and forced them to their knees.
Every living being in the realm bowed their heads, their spirits humbled by the immense presence of Kun Peng Ancestor. His towering figure, clad in a flowing white robe that billowed softly in the wind, commanded an awe-inspiring aura.
"The judgment of the heavens is flawed," Kun Peng Ancestor declared, his voice resonating with unconcealed disdain. "It lacks both absoluteness and infallibility. True cultivation transcends its oppressive chains and embraces the chaos within."

As his words reverberated through the air, the Azure Chaos dispersed, replaced by an ethereal dao rhythm melody that enveloped the realm. Sentient and non-sentient beings alike were infused with enlightenment, some embarking on the nascent path of cultivation.
Liang, too, felt this ephemeral moment of illumination. He closed his eyes briefly, inhaling deeply before reopening them. For those dwelling in the Common Road Realm, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the eightieth day, the dao rhythm vanished. Kun Peng Ancestor’s eyes reopened, piercing through the veil of space and time, surveying the entire domain.
A flicker of astonishment crossed the azure depths of his gaze as he directed his attention towards the Heaven Fortune Domain, specifically the Heavenly Yin Cliff.
"To think this old geezer still alive," Kun Peng Ancestor murmured to himself, a trace of amusement in his voice. "However, that matters not. It is time for me to depart before further complications arise."
But as he prepared to leave...
"Deity Kun Peng, you promised to take me to the Primordial Sea Realm!" Red Lotus Paragon exclaimed, her voice echoing with a sense of betrayal.
Kun Peng Ancestor’s brow creased as his gaze fell upon her. "Adequate compensation has already been rendered. You should rest content."
"Adequate? That was not the deal we made!" Red Lotus’s expression darkened.
"Deal? Is that how you perceive our association, impudent fool!"
"Then, I shall forcefully remind you of your insignificance!"
As Kun Peng Ancestor’s words hung heavy in the air, a surge of chaotic energy erupted from his fingertips, engulfing Red Lotus Paragon. Her body convulsed violently as the relentless energy tore through her physical form and soul.
Agony contorted her features as she collapsed to the ground, her screams echoing through the void. The chaotic energy seemed to possess a malevolent consciousness, reveling in her suffering.
Red Lotus Paragon’s body twisted grotesquely as the energy ravaged her from within. Her once-radiant skin turned ashen, and her eyes glazed over with pain. With each passing moment, the life force within her dwindled, threatening to extinguish her very existence.
Kun Peng Ancestor’s gaze remained impassive as he watched her torment. His voice, devoid of mercy, boomed through the realm. "This is the price of your insolence. You have forgotten your place, and now you shall pay the consequences."
"No, stop!" she cried out in anguish as she collapsed to the ground.
The chaotic energy intensified its assault, tearing at Red Lotus Paragon’s very essence. Her screams became weaker, more desperate, as the pain became unbearable.
"Hmph, I shall grant you mercy this time for past services," Kun Peng Ancestor’s voice boomed as Red Lotus collapsed to the ground, her body shattered and her spirit broken.
His human guise dissipated like mist, revealing the colossal and magnificent Kun Peng. With a mighty flap of its wings, the Kun Peng ascended into the heavens, leaving behind the Common Road Realm and its inhabitants.
As the last remnants of the Kun Peng’s presence faded into the void, a ripple of energy coursed through the space. Suddenly, a figure materialized out of thin air, standing tall before the fallen Red Lotus Paragon.
The figure was that of a man, clad in dark robes and wielding two swords.
Without hesitation, the man plunged his swords into Red Lotus Paragon’s body, piercing her already ravaged form. A surge of chaotic energy erupted from the swords, enveloping both the man and Red Lotus Paragon in a swirling vortex.
Suddenly another chaotic energy crackled and surged from Red Lotus’s body, threatening to consume the man. However, to the astonishment of all who witnessed this unexpected turn of events, the man remained unyielding.
With a defiant roar, he channeled his own energy into the vortex, The vortex expanded and contracted, its boundaries shimmering and unstable.
For a fleeting eternity, it appeared that both the man and Red Lotus Paragon would be lost to the gaping abyss. But in a sudden reversal, the vortex vanished into nothingness, leaving behind an eerie emptiness. Red Lotus Paragon and the enigmatic man had both vanished without a trace.
