West Pole Divine Palace, atop Sha Long Snow Mountain.

Howl~

The resounding roar of dragons echoed as several snow dragons intertwined, weaving back and forth in the void.

"Crash!" A thunderous shout rang out, and suddenly, the snow dragons merged into one, transforming into a towering, majestic white giant sword that descended with a rumble.

Boom!!

The endless snow mountains within billions of miles around crumbled into ruins under the collision of the towering white giant sword.

In the void, a man with wings, his hair and eyebrows snow-white, stepped out, followed by a little girl in red, bouncing along, her face full of innocence.

"Brother Bai Xu, this time's power is much greater than last time, your strength has improved a lot again!" The little girl in red clapped her small hands, her eyes forming crescent moons as she laughed.

"Such strength won't get me through the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation." The white-browed man sighed.

"Brother Wang Xu, you, as the number one below the Saint Venerable Realm in the West Pole Divine Palace, will not be thwarted by something as trivial as a Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation!" The little girl in red sat on the white-browed man's shoulder, gesturing exaggeratedly with her small hands.

"Alas..."

Bai Xu heaved a long sigh.

The number one below the Saint Venerable Realm in the West Pole Divine Palace, a future Great Emperor Realm figure, the strongest successor in the West Pole Divine Palace... he had long grown weary of these titles.

He is an outstanding talent among the peak young talents of many Divine Palace races.

Among all those below the Saint Venerable Realm in the entire chaos, few could surpass his strength.

But precisely because of this, he was even more worried.

The Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation, the more extraordinary one is, the harder it is to pass.

It's like a chasm as wide as the heavens, cross it, and he will become a peak existence among the Saint Venerable Realm beings in chaos, but fail to cross, and he will just become another talent lost to the river of history.

"Bai Xu."

Suddenly, a deep voice from beyond the heavens awakened Bai Xu.

"It's Grandpa Mi Yin!" The little girl in red, hearing this, transformed into a streak of red light and merged into the giant sword in Bai Xu's hand, revealing her true form as a sword spirit.

"Disciple Bai Xu, greets Master!" Bai Xu saluted respectfully.

The clouds parted, accompanied by a faint utterance of "Mi Yin," as a majestic man with a golden upper body and three golden spheres embedded in his back descended step by step.

Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin.

He approached Bai Xu, affectionately patting Bai Xu's head.

"Bai Xu, you have lingered at the Billion Era Celestial God for a full six thousand Law Eras, it's time to take this step." Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin said gently.

Looking at Bai Xu before him, Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin's thoughts seemed to drift back six thousand Law Eras.

Back then, Celestial God Bai Xu was just a swaddled infant abandoned on the snowy mountain peak, snowflakes dancing around without a trace of coldness, giggling.

Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin, passing by, discovered the infant shrouded in black aura, infested with the sinister and demonic energy, unable to survive more than seven days, which was why he was abandoned.

However, Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin found a small seal hidden behind the black aura, and with a wave of his hand released it, a dragon's roar erupted from the infant's body, resonating through the heavens and the earth.

"So it's a 'Snow Dragon Body,' quite a promising seed."

Thus, Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin took the infant back to the West Pole Divine Palace, dispelling the black aura, and named him Bai Xu.

"Palace Master, I have failed your expectations. Originally, I thought my strength was enough to easily cross the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation, but later realized that it was utterly ridiculous. With my current strength, there is no hope of breaking through to the Saint Venerable Realm..." Bai Xu's eyes dimmed.

Bai Xu possessed extraordinary talent, willing to remain at the Billion Era Celestial God for six thousand Law Eras to continuously strengthen himself, with hopes that when he became a Saint Venerable, he could stand out among them as well.

Yet, the stronger Bai Xu became, the more he realized how deep that chasm was, further deterring him from attempting the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation.

"Bai Xu, do not be troubled, I have come this time precisely for this matter." Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin smiled slightly, taking out a wooden talisman token inscribed with the words "Annihilation," "This is the 'Annihilation Order,' it will guide you to a great opportunity. If you succeed, you will have enough confidence to cross the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation, if you fail... you will perish completely."

"What will you choose?"

Great opportunity?

Bai Xu's eyes lit up, instantly filled with surging battle intent.

"Master, my heart in pursuing the path of the strong will never waver in this lifetime. If I back down for fear of death and give up on a great opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

No retreat, no hesitation whatsoever.

The path of the strong undoubtedly involves life and death, those who fear for life or death can never become true strong individuals!

"Good, keep this Annihilation Order well, soon, I will send you to the 'other cosmos' for a trial. There, you will no longer be my disciple, nor have any protection, everything will depend on you... remember, you must come back alive!" Heavenly Emperor Mi Yin patted Bai Xu's shoulder, speaking with heavy heart.

Going to another cosmos?

Bai Xu was astonished.

He knew the existence of other Chaotic Cosmoses, but traversing through the Chaos of Outer Heaven to reach another cosmos was a first for him.

One must know that although the various Chaotic Cosmoses seem calm and still, with each respecting the boundaries of the other, they are actually extremely wary of one another. Once his identity from another cosmos was exposed, he would inevitably face terrifying pursuits and perhaps even a Great Emperor would descend... Who would dare go to another cosmos under such nearly certain peril of death?

"Remember the master's command!" Bai Xu had no doubts.

Since the master mentioned that going to another cosmos would present a great opportunity to ascend to the Saint Venerable Realm, even if there were mountains of blades and seas of fire awaiting, Bai Xu would have no hesitation.

Instead of living in dismay and focusing on cultivation at the Sha Long Snow Mountain, not knowing when he might surpass the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation to become a Saint Venerable, why not venture out, experience life and death, gain a great opportunity, and become a truly admired Saint Venerable?

...

This scene played out similarly across other Divine Palaces.

"Heading to the Kedan Chaos Cosmos?"

Wang Xu was stunned as he took the Annihilation Order, finding it hard to believe.

Traditionally, only those in the Ancestor Realm suppress their realm, conceal their aura, and travel to other cosmoses for adventure. He had never heard of someone from the Celestial God Realm entering other cosmoses.

Moreover, this time wasn't just any cosmos; it was the Kedan Chaos Cosmos, which had sent assassins after him decades ago!

"That's right, and not just you, another twelve Celestial Gods will also accompany you to Kedan," said the Xiang Tang Palace Master.

Then, the Xiang Tang Palace Master produced an ancient, unadorned Bronze Token.

"This is the 'Profound Dragon Talisman' I acquired during my travels in Kedan. You can follow its guidance to the 'Profound Dragon Ruins.' The treasures within make even us Great Emperors envious, but whether you can obtain the treasures in the Profound Dragon Ruins depends on your own fortune."

Taking the Profound Dragon Talisman, Wang Xu felt no elation, only a heavy heart.

"Palace Master, why are we going to the Kedan Chaos Cosmos?" Wang Xu asked seriously.

Entering another cosmos would put Wang Xu's life on the edge of a blade, where a single misstep might cost him his life.

Such a perilous matter must be thoroughly understood.

"Wang Xu, do you remember the assassination attempt from decades ago?" the Xiang Tang Palace Master hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Disciple hasn't forgotten." How could Wang Xu forget the assassination he narrowly survived?

"Those Two Three Element Saint Venerable Realm figures were from the Kedan Chaos Cosmos," the Xiang Tang Palace Master said solemnly. "The importance of the Truth of Destruction should be clear to you. Their aim is to reorganize the Truth of Destruction to initiate a Chaotic War... Although our Fengye is stronger than Kedan, we cannot sit by idly. Thus, after discussing with the other Great Emperors, we decided to send the most talented disciples into Kedan."

Starting a Chaotic War!

Wang Xu's heart sank.

Over the years, he had read countless ancient texts and knew how brutal the Chaotic War could be. Once initiated, the two Chaotic Cosmoses would have no compassion to spare. People would be slaughtered, lands turned into ruins—these were minor. If they couldn't win the war, all beings of the entire Chaotic Cosmos would die without a burial place!

Chaotic War... too terrifying.

"Wang Xu, this is an extremely dangerous task and an unparalleled opportunity. The choice to go or stay is in your hands now. Choose, " the Xiang Tang Palace Master solemnly inquired to Wang Xu's decision.

"I'll go." Wang Xu replied emphatically.

Setting aside the matter of the Chaotic War, Wang Xu felt no sense of fictitious vanity. It was about the "Profound Dragon Ruins," coveted even by the Great Emperors.

If Wang Xu could indeed seize a great opportunity, his power would become even stronger.

When the Chaotic War surged, Wang Xu would at least have the means to ensure his survival.

As for danger? Which strong being hasn't survived countless deaths? To grow strong, danger is indispensable.

"Good," the Xiang Tang Palace Master patted Wang Xu's shoulder approvingly.

"Once you arrive in Kedan, your crucial task is to locate where the 'Core of Chaos' might exist, and report back immediately if you find any traces."

"Core of Chaos?"

Even for someone as well-read as Wang Xu, he had never heard of the Core of Chaos.

"You don't need to delve into this matter deeply. Remember, upon arriving in Kedan, never venture alone. You must go to the 'Annihilation Divine Dynasty,' where the Ancestor of Annihilation will personally cleanse the Fengye aura from you," the Xiang Tang Palace Master reminded again and again.

Every being born in a Chaotic Cosmos carries the aura from that cosmos.

If not cleared, Wang Xu's identity as someone from another cosmos would quickly be uncovered, and even Great Emperors could be alerted!

"To think Fengye has Ancestor Realm figures hidden as moles in Kedan, it seems inter-Chaotic Cosmos relations are not as peaceful as they appear," Wang Xu thought to himself.

"After the aura cleansing, the Ancestor of Annihilation will assign you to places where the Core of Chaos might exist, and tell you methods to search for it... However, remember, searching for the Core of Chaos is just a task; your own life is the priority, understood?" the Xiang Tang Palace Master warned.

Wang Xu nodded solemnly.

This would be an extremely perilous experience. Once their identities were exposed, Wang Xu and his companions would face certain death. (To be continued.
