Chapter 366: An Unexpected Presence

Boom… boom… boom…
At this moment, Chen Xiao seemed to have become the embodiment of the Dao. Even now, all the forces within his body had lost their effectiveness and could not offer any help in these battles.
Chen Xiao could summon the infinite power of heaven and earth merely by controlling the Dao with his will, using his heart to command it and suppress his enemies.
However, he was well aware of his current situation. No matter what, an overly weak strength was a fatal flaw.
In other words, if those ten Divine Lords and three Heavenly Lords attacked his true form with their supreme powers, he would vanish instantly.
Moreover, the power he could exert now was only within the pre-established Reincarnation Array. In any other place, it would likely be impossible to maintain.
Chen Xiao’s own strength was not enough to even trap or threaten those three Heavenly Lords and ten Divine Lords—let alone one of them; even a single Divine Lord could overwhelm him. It was all thanks to this array—the Reincarnation Array.
“Three years to comprehend the Dao heart. Now, it’s time to enhance my true strength. All things in this universe, born from chaos, might as well be seen as a vast Reincarnation Array,” Chen Xiao thought quietly.
He didn’t waste time talking further with the thirteen people before him. He gently raised one finger, forming a ‘one’.
Subconsciously, Chen Xiao had seen the Immortal Lord of the Heavenly Realm use a ‘three’ to attack those terrifying beings in the celestial orbits, shattering the destructive lightning they emitted.
What Chen Xiao used now was the more fundamental ‘one’.
The Dao gives rise to one; one gives rise to two; two gives rise to three; three gives rise to all things!
In essence, Chen Xiao’s ‘one’ was equivalent to the Immortal Lord’s ‘three’—a being of an older generation. Yet, this “grandfather” was still in its infancy.
As Chen Xiao raised a finger, the Reincarnation Array spun frantically. Ten thousand times the primordial power of heaven and earth descended and poured into the array.
In an instant, the rule-based powers released by the three Heavenly Lords were shattered completely, leaving no trace.
Boom!
After a loud explosion, blood trickled from the mouths of the three Heavenly Lords, while the ten Divine Lords simply fainted.
Then, a fierce look flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes. He glanced at Mo Xian, who was closing his eyes and carefully absorbing the sounds of the Dao. Soon, that fierce expression turned into deep tenderness.
“Xianxian, your suffering is over. Now that I’m here, I’ll put an end to all this.”
“Heavenly Lords, huh? How long has it been since any Heavenly Lord fell in the Heavenly Realm?”
“Die all!”
The next moment, Chen Xiao pointed, and a beam of force shot straight for the forehead of the Moon Orchid Heavenly Lord. This beam of force transcended the bounds of rules, unbound by them. Its immense power had broken free from the constraints of force-based rules. If the Moon Orchid Heavenly Lord were hit by this beam, even as a Heavenly Lord, he would surely die.
“Hmph, relying on the power of an array while being pitifully weak in true strength.”

Suddenly, a cold snort echoed between heaven and earth. Then, a massive black hand descended from the sky and slapped down on the Reincarnation Array.
Boom!
The Reincarnation Array was Chen Xiao’s most powerful weapon at present. Within it, he was the Dao itself—omnipotent, even capable of manipulating the external Dao through it. But outside the array, he was powerless and unable to act. Moreover, the array was constructed using the essence of the Dao, making it difficult for ordinary Heavenly Lords to see through.
Yet now, someone had detected everything within the array—this could only mean one thing: the Immortal Lord had arrived.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black hand swung three times outside the Reincarnation Array, each strike carrying endless, destructive power.
Death. Destruction, decay, withering, annihilation—essentially, all were death. It was a Heavenly Lord using the laws of death to assault the Reincarnation Array.
Each of the three strikes caused massive cracks to appear in the array, and with the final blow, it shattered into scattered fragments, vanishing between heaven and earth.
Chen Xiao raised his head. His eyes were now filled with chaos as the Eye of Reincarnation activated once again.
“The true form of the Immortal Lord…”
Chen Xiao lightly bit his lip. In a flash, he stood in front of Mo Xian, his gaze piercing through the endless void.
A middle-aged man, slightly hunched, stood there in the void—unremarkable, without any aura or spiritual energy fluctuations, vastly different from the majestic presence of the Immortal Lord of Longevity.
Yet within this plainness lay a profound terror. The forces of life and death flowed continuously within his body, embodying the principles of existence and death.
His right hand rose slightly, as if ready to deliver a third strike at any moment.
“Father…”
Chen Xiao’s energy trace vanished the moment the Reincarnation Array was destroyed. Heavenly Lord Yue Zhi sensed the Immortal Lord outside and raised her head, calling softly, “Immortal Lord Ling Yue?”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Immortal Lord Ling Yue was one of the seven Immortal Lords in the City of Chaos, even older than Kanserelas. She was only slightly inferior to the previous life of Immortal Lord Shui Miao, the Immortal Lord of Divine Heaven.
It was the existence of the four primal worlds that balanced the rules and concealed life and death, allowing her to exist to this day.
Now, Chen Xiao’s fate was obscured by the Dao. Though he had been nurtured by the seven Immortal Lords, they could no longer control him. Even as he stood there, they were unsure whether he was truly the one they had been raising. After all, it had always been Kanserelas who guided his growth, with the other Immortal Lords only playing an indirect role.
Only Kanserelas could recognize Chen Xiao.
“There’s such a freak in the heavens… But the Key of Life is crucial—it must be obtained.”
Immortal Lord Ling Yue reached out toward Mo Xian behind Chen Xiao.
“The Great Reincarnation Mirror!”

Chen Xiao let out a soft sound. The Great Cycle Mirror, which had always remained hidden in nothingness, manifested its true form at this moment and rushed toward that giant hand.
Boom!
Although the Great Cycle Mirror was a tool of the Dao that embodied the concept of reincarnation, Chen Xiao’s strength was still too weak to unleash its power. In just one strike, it was sent flying by Ling Yue Xianzhu.
“Die.”
Ling Yue Xianzhu softly commanded. His hand suddenly swelled in the void, covering the sky and earth, enveloping both Chen Xiao and Mo Xian.
“To die with you is not in vain.”
At that moment, Mo Xian opened her eyes. She looked at Chen Xiao with a faint smile on her face.
“Die?”
Chen Xiao shook his head. “I can’t die. Don’t worry.”
“Hm?”
Mo Xian was slightly stunned.
Just as that giant hand was about to strike, something strange happened in the sky. A black river suddenly tore through chaos, traversed the universe, and descended to the heavenly realm, instantly destroying Ling Yue Xianzhu’s hand.
“Hehehehehe… There’s such an interesting world even in chaos. A few xianzhu who have grasped the essence of existence have transformed into worlds, concealing the rules, making life and death indistinguishable… Xianzhu can indeed endure here forever. Great.”
Suddenly, an extremely sinister voice rang out in space.
“Who?”
Ling Yue Xianzhu’s expression turned grave. He hadn’t even noticed the presence of this person, yet his power had already been broken. What did this mean? This person was even stronger than an xianzhu.
“Beyond xianzhu? When did such a being appear?”
Ling Yue Xianzhu frowned deeply.
“Xianzhu? Having grasped life and death… Heh, not bad, not bad. Though unable to survive at the end of the cycle, they are already the strongest being in this chaotic realm.”
That voice spoke again, yet it still didn’t reveal itself. Even Ling Yue Xianzhu couldn’t detect its whereabouts.
“A powerful being from another world. His true form is still in that other world, but his voice and power pierce through chaos and counteract the xianzhu’s attacks…”
Chen Xiao’s Cycle Eye could see even that existence that threatened the cycle and suppressed the Dao. The one who had just saved Chen Xiao and Mo Xian was clearly not as powerful as that supreme being. With the Cycle Eye, Chen Xiao could naturally detect him.
“What?”
Shock appeared in Mo Xian’s eyes.
“Xianxian…” Chen Xiao’s expression was complex.
That person wouldn’t have intervened without reason. In fact, Chen Xiao had already guessed why they had done so.
“If one of us must die, I won’t hesitate.”
Chen Xiao’s veins bulged slightly on his arms.
Mo Xian was puzzled, but she knew now wasn’t the time to ask. She tightly held Chen Xiao’s hand.
“Who exactly are you?”
Cold sweat trickled down Ling Yue Xianzhu’s forehead. The other person’s voice echoed in his ears, yet the xianzhu’s divine sense covered almost the entire universe, every corner of this chaotic realm, yet he still couldn’t detect their presence.

“No need to look. This handsome guy isn’t in this realm, but I’ll be here in no time.”
That eerie voice emitted a chuckling sound.
“Also, that woman down there is already my chosen wife. Whoever dares to touch a hair on her will be destroyed by me.”
Boom!
As he spoke, the space trembled violently, and Ling Yue, the Immortal Lord, fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings.
Fear appeared on everyone’s faces.
“I’ve survived four or five Chaos Calamities. I’ve seen many Immortal Lords stronger than you. Better be obedient. If you dare touch my woman, don’t blame me for destroying this entire Chaos Realm.”
A fierce tone rose in that voice.
“Your woman?”
At that moment, Chen Xiao raised his head.
