As the emaciated elder appeared, the Annihilation Order in Wang Xu's hand began to tremble.

"Disciple greets the Ancestor of Annihilation!"

"Greetings, senior."

Everyone immediately understood that this emaciated elder before them was the master of the Annihilation Divine Dynasty, and they quickly paid their respects.

"We are all from the same hometown, no need to be so formal, haha." The Ancestor of Annihilation didn't seem as stern and grave as he appeared, instead, he held a constant smile on his face, "After such a long passage of time, it's finally refreshing to see people from Fengye again, the old me truly feels nostalgic!"

The Ancestor of Annihilation concealed himself within Kedan, surrounded by strangers; even if friendships could be formed, one couldn't afford to fully reveal their heart.

Alone in Kedan's cultivation, even one at the Ancestor Realm couldn't help but yearn for home.

"The purpose of your visit has been thoroughly explained to me by Emperor Jiu Feng; who would have thought that Kedan harbors such ambition that cannot be underestimated."

The Ancestor of Annihilation sighed, "Through the long years I've mingled within Kedan till this day, I hadn't noticed any inclination towards aggression from Kedan's people, but ultimately their intentions eluded me, and Kedan couldn't resist anymore."

"Respected Ancestor of Annihilation, I'm quite curious, what exactly is the 'Core of Chaos' that our master mentioned to us, what kind of Supreme Treasure is it?" Jiao Chui suddenly spoke, inquiring.

He had a sincere personality, lacking wisdom, yet understood the importance of humbly seeking answers. He posed this question to his Brahma Heaven Race master, to Wang Xu, and to the other twelve talented disciples, but not a single person answered him.

The master was unwilling to divulge, and Wang Xu and others were equally unaware, leading Jiao Chui to present the inquiry to the Ancestor of Annihilation.

"The Core of Chaos... this matter bears great significance, it's better for you all not to know for now." The Ancestor of Annihilation was also reluctant to answer.

"Senior, is our mission this time very important?"

Unexpectedly, the next to ask was the icy-faced Nine Phoenix Blood Jade.

The Ancestor of Annihilation glanced at her, "Important, extremely important."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in acknowledgment.

They were peak-tier talents, innately proud. Being tasked with traveling across an entire layer of chaos to this universe indicated that it couldn't be a mere ordinary mission.

"Alright, let's leave idle chatter for later. Now, follow me." The Ancestor of Annihilation smiled faintly, shook his sleeve, causing ripples in the void, and led Wang Xu and the others into the void.

...

The Pool of Annihilation Dragons, a forbidden ground within the Annihilation Divine Dynasty.

From disciples to elders, everyone has heard of its renown yet never witnessed it.

Rumor has it that unimaginable divine power resides within the Pool of Annihilation Dragons, and those who bathe in it can transform their bodies, reaching a state of purity and sanctity.

Reverberate~~

In the void, over a dozen figures suddenly emerged.

"Rich and boiling primordial qi... just like the Supreme Laws that pervade the Eternal Celestial Palace..."

Like everyone else, Wang Xu immediately sensed the uniqueness of this place.

"With such abundant qi and laws, cultivating here, even a cultivator of ordinary talent can reach the Eternal Generations Celestial God within a Law Era!" Qing Xian couldn't help but exclaim.

Jiao Chui's reaction was even more exaggerated, as he simply sat crossed-legged on the ground, entering into a state of cultivation.

"This is the 'Pool of Annihilation Dragons', a treasure land I discovered by chance after traversing a thousand Law Eras in Kedan. It was due to this treasure land that my power surged rapidly in a short amount of time, and I established the Annihilation Divine Dynasty using this place as a fundamental holy land," the Ancestor of Annihilation raised a finger, "In front of you, every drop in the 'Dragon Pool' contains immensely rich primordial qi. Cultivating in this place won't just enhance your strength, but also cleanse the aura of Fengye from your bodies, instead encircling you with the aura of Kedan."

Only then did everyone suddenly understand.

So, this Pool of Annihilation Dragons is a treasure that can cleanse the aura of chaos, not only accelerating cultivation but also altering one's aura, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Splash!

Splash!

No sooner had the Ancestor of Annihilation finished speaking, the talented "Ke Gu You Mu" of the Ke Gu Race, the talented "Celestial Net Thousand Proofs" of the Celestial Net Race, and the talented "Feng Yanlang" of the Fengyan Race all could not wait to plunge into the Dragon Pool.

"I want to soak in the Dragon Pool too!" Jiao Chui saw such a good thing and immediately followed suit, leaping into the Dragon Pool.

"Ah..."

Jiao Chui let out a drawn-out groan, somewhat akin to a wolf's howl, "Comfortable, so comfortable!"

"Haha..." The Ancestor of Annihilation did not mind at all and instead stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Afterward, Nine Phoenix Blood Jade, Golden Crow Yunzhan, Qing Xian, Wang Xu, and others all entered the Dragon Pool one by one.

"It indeed feels comfortable."

The warm dragon water engulfed Wang Xu's body, and instantly, countless warm currents flowed into Wang Xu's body, roaming within his being, bringing such a sense of comfort from head to toe that even Wang Xu almost uttered a moan of pleasure.

"Big Brother Bai Xu, it's so warm and comfortable here!" A red silhouette suddenly scuttled out from Bai Xu's sleeve before transforming into a cute little girl about seven or eight years old, soaking in the Dragon Pool. Her childish voice drew quite a few curious gazes.

"It's Bai Xu's Sword Spirit." Wang Xu could discern the difference between spirituality and a true life.

"Indeed, this is a great opportunity to nourish 'Artifact Spirits', how could I miss it!" Upon seeing this, Jiao Chui slapped his forehead, and two ink-black giant hammers inscribed with runes materialized in his hands, "Big Black, Little Black, come out!"

With a bold shout, one large and one small black figure flew from the giant hammers, soaking in the Dragon Pool and letting out elongated moans like Jiao Chui.

"Indeed, like master, like servant." Qing Xian smiled and shook his head.

Subsequently, all the peak disciples summoned their Artifact Spirits, allowing them to bathe in the Dragon Pool, to cultivate and improve.

These were the foremost disciples of various Divine Palace races, wielders of exceptional weaponry, each with their own Artifact Spirit.

"You Ji, aren't you joining the excitement?"

Wang Xu inwardly called, "This is a golden opportunity to nurture your body and restore your power."

"Hehe! Considering how many times you've helped me, you do have a bit of conscience!"

The figure of the red-robed You Ji emerged, his striking red robe and a pair of fiery eyes, along with his inherently unique aura, immediately drew concern as he appeared.

"Chaos Fire Seed?!"

"It's actually the fire spirit of a Chaos Fire Seed, good gracious, the Immortal Tang Emperor is truly generous."

"There are only over twenty types of Chaos Fire Seeds throughout the entire chaos, most are in the hands of those in the Great Emperor Realm, how did he obtain it?"

The present peak talents were immensely knowledgeable; with a single glance at You Ji's aura, they identified him as the fire spirit of a Chaos Fire Seed, far more precious than any of their Artifact Spirits.

Even the Ancestor of Annihilation's eyes lit up upon seeing You Ji appear.

This was a Chaos Fire Seed, no more than twenty in the entire Fengye Chaos Cosmos, all in the hands of those in the Great Emperor Realm... even the Great Emperor Realm would covet it, much less those in the Ancestor Realm.

You Ji was not a secret within the Immortal Tang Divine Palace.

At the very least, the Palace Master of Immortal Tang had already discovered You Ji's presence, yet hadn't harbored any intentions.

A Chaos Fire Seed that had already recognized a master, even killing the owner would not force the Chaos Fire Seed to acknowledge another master.

Moreover, Wang Xu's circumstances were more unique than all other Chaos Fire Seeds.

You Ji and Wang Xu had already become one; from a black hole to a fire hole, with the fire engulfing the soul, You Ji and Wang Xu were as one.

Killing Wang Xu would only cause You Ji to perish as well, gaining nothing.

Therefore, Wang Xu no longer minded concealing You Ji's existence.

"In three years, the aura of Fengye on you will completely vanish, and you will instead be wrapped in the aura of Kedan. However, I must remind you, you are ultimately not people of Kedan, and cannot truly possess its aura. Once near a Great Emperor, your identity will instantly be revealed without a trace!"

The Ancestor of Annihilation warned, "As for these three years, how far you can ascend leveraging the Dragon Pool depends on your personal fortune."

"Thank you, senior!"

"Senior, we understand!"

The Ancestor of Annihilation smiled faintly, turned and melded into the void, leaving the group of pinnacle talents to earnestly absorb primordial qi, comprehend laws, and continuously enhance their powers.
