"The Chaotic me Seed is the source of all mes, and the lord of every ze! H- How can this be? Legends ce it at the dawn of creation itself. Even my senior, Lucas, nearly died crafting a mere echo of this chaotic fire intent, which is nowhere near the genuine me seed before my eyes!" Reiner muttered, staggering as though the cavern floor had shifted beneath him. "Jared is merely a Human Immortal Realm cultivator who''s less than a hundred years old. How can his body nurture a Chaotic me Seed capable of absorbing Chaotic Origin me from external realms?"


    Every suspicion and shred of jealousy swiftly shattered beneath that impossible vision, leaving Reiner''s heart ringing like broken ss. In that rity, he conceded that Jared''s earlier words had been neither boast nor madness but simple truth. A man who could carry a Chaotic me Seed, who strode unharmed through the zefire Demon Lord''s gauntlet and absorbed the powerful Chaotic Origin me, must hail from origins far beyond his imagination—perhaps even linked, in ways unfathomable, to his master.


    If Reiner were to learn that the fire nascence inside Jared had firste from the Inferno Devil, one could only imagine how he would react.


    Later, Jared consumed and refined countless other mes, elevating his fire nascence to a realm ordinary cultivators could never even name.


    Unaware of Reiner''s turbulent awe, Jared floated in a state of unearthly rapture, his senses turned wholly inward.


    Rivers of fire-pure, towering, absurdly potent-poured into him like a broken dam, each current scorching yetforting, eager to be imed.


    Every fment carried its ownw: the tyrannical ze that razed heavens, the sun''s cleansing brilliance, thunder''s ruin, ice''s stillness, and the void''s devouring hush.


    The Chaotic me-Origin Light at Jared''s core weed them without conflict, drawing them into a swirling order.


    Under thatmand, the mes broke apart, melded, and rose anew, bing primal chaotic fire essence that fed the shadow of a Chaotic Fire Lotus taking shape in the cyclone''s heart.


    Petal upon petal unfurled in shifting greys, eachyer hinting at boundless worlds and endless me.


    With every slow rotation, the embryonic lotus released an aura that could rule all fire, erase allws, and yet cradle life itself. In short, it was both a symbol of destruction and the source of creation.


    At the same time, remnants of the zefire Demon Lord-echoes ofprehension, splinters of will-rode the torrent into Jared''s consciousness field.


    They were the mad scriptures of a demonic titan who had spent eternity prying apart the nature of me.


    Jared became fire itself, witnessing the cosmic spark erupt at creation''s dawn, stars birthing in incandescent storms, the first campfire lit against primordial night, and thest embers of a dying world.


    Arcane truths about wielding me, reading time through me, even bargaining life and death with me, etched themselves into his soul like burning runes.


    His nascent stars pulsed, dissecting and absorbing those revtions with unprecedented speed until they became his own strength.


    Before long, those gradual changes sparked a fundamental transformation.


    Flooded by limitless energy and washed by Heavenly Laws, the adamant barrier at Jared''s Top Level Human Immortal Realm Level Seven melted like morning frost. Suddenly, a low, resonant hum split the silence.


    A surge of pure, towering aura rose from Jared''s core without warning.


    To his surprise and delight, he had achieved a breakthrough and reached Human Immortal Realm Level Eight!


    And this was but the prologue. The Chaos Sea of me was


    inexhaustible, the Chaotic Fire Lotus unquenchable, and the zefire Demon Lord''s insights unending


    With those three engines working simultaneously, Jared''s cultivation climbed at a pace that left even destiny gasping.


    Slowly but surely, he went from Level Eight beginner phase to Level Eight middle


    phase, and finally to the top of Level Eight.


    V


    When the roaring aura crashed against an unseen threshold, it slowly calmed, anchoring itself at the very crest of Top Level Human mortal Realm Level Eight


    Only the thinnest veil nowy between Jared and Level Nine of the Human Immortal Realm-so delicate a poke might shatter it at any moment.


    This step up was no mere stockpiling of spiritual energy; it rewrote the core of his being.


    His fire nascence, having fused with the chaotic fire essence, underwent a cataclysmic rebirth.


    It now flowed dense as mercury, heavy as mountains, each circuit radiating annihting heat and a kingly will, yet seeded with boundless life.


    What had once resembled an unsharpened magic sword now returned as a quenched, blood-whetted divine weapon.


    His flesh, twice tempered inside and out by Chaotic Origin me, strengthened again.


    His skin gleamed, streaked with wandering specks of chaotic light; bones glowed pale gold; marrow rolled like living magma.


    By raw physique alone, Jared now rivaled those who were in the Top Level


    Heavenly Immortal Realm and specialized in Body Cultivation.


    His soul, purified in a sea of fires and washed by the power ofw, grew crystalline, his spiritual sense expanding severalfold into microscopicmand of every energy-especially fire. He could even glimpse the secret threads and, eddies of fire spirits weaving through the air.


    Time blurred—an instant, or ten millennia—no one could say.


    Atst, Jared crossed the endless Chaos Sea of me and stepped onto the lone


    stable tform of crystalline chaos at its heart.
