Outside North Sea Star.
Alkaid's gradually closing hand was bringing together countless light-years of the void that was shrinking and converging into his palm which he then crushed into pieces.
All within—the teors, stellar bodies, matter, and living creatures—turned into nothingness.
"Pretty tough," he remarked.
While crushing this expanse of starry sky, he did encounter so resistance from Dao Lords trying to break through the void.
But as he switched his thod from the Great Void Technique to the Spatial-Temporal Collapse Technique, all support structures within the void were obliterated.
It was like finding an eggshell slightly thicker when crushing an egg, and then just applying a bit more force.
And then, naturally, the egg was crushed successfully.
"Problem solved," Alkaid said.
After taking care of the Dao Lords in this part of the starry sky, Alkaid entered a state of High-Dinsional Cognition and quietly perceived the surrounding void using the Great Void Path.
Not until he confird that the nearest Dao Lord, aside from those like the Supre Subtlety Dao Lord from Northern Sea Star, were millions of light-years away, did he withdraw his gaze.
However, during his high-dinsional perception of the surrounding void for Dao Lords, he seed to have detected sothing.
As he annihilated the hundreds of Dao Lords in that patch of void, he sohow sensed a connection with sothing.
Through High-Dinsional Cognition, the source was revealed to Alkaid.
Immortal Realm.
As his Mind Thought stirred, his "vision" soared higher, instantly transcending the scope of the Lower Realm Starry Sky and encompassing the entire Immortal Realm, even the entire Ancient Immortal Realm.
In this mont, he saw clearly.
"Causality," he uttered.
But it wasn't the Gate of Cause and Effect.
It was a kind of top-class Immortal Artifact related to causality.
Or...
A Supre Holy Artifact? A Great Path Divine Artifact?
"Be it Immortal Artifact or Holy Artifact, they are essentially akin to unmastered shares of the Great Dao. Causality and Destiny, however, have their Daoist Ancestors, hence there are no true Immortal or Holy Artifacts for these paths, only special Holy Artifacts bestowed by the Daoist Ancestors of Destiny and Causality. These two unique Holy Artifacts are in the hands of local cultivators, a force known as the Ancient Immortal Alliance."
Alkaid understood clearly.
As a mber of the board for Creation Group, he had free access to such intelligence.
"The Ancient Immortal Alliance has a total of three supre treasures: the Mysterious Door that represents the authority of Destiny, the Wheel of Cause and Effect that harnesses the power of Causality, and what should be a concentration of fortune in response to the imminent crisis of the Ancient Immortal Realm, the Great Dao Furnace able to refine Immortal Spirits and Creation all things."
What he had sensed was most likely the power of the Wheel of Cause and Effect.
Alkaid's empty hand drew forth this trace of "causality" power, integrating it into the Essence of Chaos.
And then, under the refining of Essence of Chaos, it was infused into the Lustrous Treasure Tree.
Suddenly...
A new branch sprouted on the Lustrous Treasure Tree.
[Integrate Dao: Causality]
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Alkaid channeled so of the accumulated energy from the Lustrous Treasure Tree into the [Integrate Dao: Causality] branch, and soon, this branch grew to a certain maturity, reaching the level of 100/10000 of Immortal Venerable.
At this stage, he then invoked a small amount of other Great Dao powers like Creation, Destruction, Life, Soul, Reincarnation, and imbued them into his "Essence of Chaos".
This ti, though these Great Dao energies remained chaotic and without "order," they began to show so degree of synergy and congruence.
"If 'Chaos' at this mont is likened to a living being, then this life is already fully ford, only... without the coordinating power of 'Destiny,' the life would grow in a distorted, erroneous direction, and probably... end up like an Evil God or monster similar to Cthulhu?"
Alkaid was sowhat curious.
Of course, despite his curiosity, he wasn't planning to experint with his "Essence of Chaos".
As the attracted energies of causality, Creation, life, soul, reincarnation, and other Great Dao energies were depleted, he didn't invoke more energy to continue the evolution of his "Essence of Chaos".
Since he knew that obtaining the power of "Destiny" could complete the final link in the chaotic evolution, what was the rush?
"With my current usage of High-Dinsional Cognition, just touching the authority of Destiny would allow to imdiately give rise to a branch of 'Destiny' power. Though the resulting branch would be far from bearing 'Dao Lord' level Dao Fruits, as long as it exists, cultivation would simply be a matter of ti. Once the 'Destiny' link is complete, then I'll try allowing 'Chaos' to evolve further."
Alkaid had a clear plan for all this.
He glanced at the other nurous branches still remaining on the Lustrous Treasure Tree, his gaze landing on the [Integrate Dao - Ti] branch.
This branch was already at the critical point of transformation.
Seeing as the conditions permitted...
With a thought from Alkaid, the branch of Ti Great Dao grew rapidly, reaching its peak in an instant, and bore a Dao Fruit.
A Dao Fruit nad "Dao Lord," just like the one from the Void Path.
With this Dao Fruit, he could, in a flash, gather all shares of the space-ti Great Dao to himself like a Void Daoist Ancestor, morphing into a Ti Daoist Ancestor.
At this point, his realm had caught up with the Ti Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor, rging into one.
It's just that the shares had not been reclaid yet.
"I wonder if forcibly reclaiming all shares of the Path of Ti, the Void Path, would allow , with the empowernt of the Master of Heavenly Dao, to oppose the Sovereign backed by the Master of Primordial Yi."
This thought crossed Alkaid's mind.
But ultimately, he had no intention of trying.
After all, their Sovereign was not alone.
He really chose to quickly reclaim his shares of the Void Path and the Ti Great Dao; the Master of Primordial Yi would inevitably notice, and thus confront him as if facing a great enemy.
When that ti cos, if the Chaotic Origin Realm has even a slight sense of collective awareness, he would face the combined onslaught of the Nine Great Sovereigns plus the Master of Primordial Yi.
Therefore...
Wait a bit longer.
Add Causality and Destiny to that before making a decision.
"I wonder if I, as the successor of the Ti Daoist Ancestor and the Void Daoist Ancestor, could obtain the inheritance of power from the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect? If I could truly obtain the inheritance of these two Supre Daos, along with the power of the 'Master of Heavenly Dao' and the 'Essence of Chaos'..."
Alkaid pondered for a mont.
It might not be impossible to try facing ten enemies alone by then.
After reflecting for a short while, Alkaid still concentrated his mind and focused on the present.
The branches of the Ti Path had already condensed into a Dao Fruit, reaching the limit of the Ti Daoist Ancestor, but...
That was not his limit.
"Let see, under High-Dinsional Cognition, what the Ti Great Dao would look like once it breaks through the 'Daoist Ancestor' level."
With this thought, Alkaid instantly infused more energy into the already perfected branch of Integrate Dao - Ti.
Instantly...
It was as if a filter had been shattered.
It was also like suddenly being cured of astigmatism.
Alkaid felt a change in his perception of the world.
In a trance, he arrived at a higher plane and saw sothing akin to the Ti Great Dao, yet distinct from the Ti Great Dao.
In this mysterious state, ti was no longer a symbol of ti passing, but represented a kind of mory, a mode of operation, and a process of evolution.
And all of this seed to have a traceable pattern.
He followed these traces to look at his own "Essence of Chaos"...
There was no significant change.
But when his gaze shifted towards the "Ancient Immortal Realm," he was startled to find that in his eyes, this world seed to be interwoven.
As he looked more carefully, the existence of the Ancient Immortal Realm was no longer a simple "world" form; instead, it was slowly being stretched into a line.
This sensation was indescribable.
But everything the Ancient Immortal Realm had experienced had indeed beco a line.
When his gaze concentrated on a certain point on this line, he was the Ancient Immortal Realm.
And when he shifted his gaze to another point on the line, he was still the Ancient Immortal Realm.
This feeling was strange, but at the sa ti very real.
Like...
"The wave-particle duality of light?"
This thought suddenly popped into Alkaid's mind.
At this mont, in his eyes, the concept of the Ancient Immortal Realm was both a particle and a wave, existing in two forms.
The wave form was just like that, resembling a river flowing forward with ti.
But the particle form...
Each minute, each second, was like a node.
He could manipulate these nodes at will, and even...
With a thought, Alkaid's gaze fell on a tiline point, not long ago, when this starry sky had not yet been destroyed. Drawing on the powers of his "Essence of Chaos," with the pull of the Dao Fruit of the Ti Dao Lord, he suddenly reached out and accurately locked onto a teorite with a diater of only a dozen ters or so.
"Hum hum!"
The Power of Ti kept flowing.
And at that mont, it caused a violent resonance.
Amidst this resonance, the forces of the Creation Dao, Stellar Path, Great Path of Destruction, and Five Elents Dao erged in succession, like shackles trying to lock down Alkaid's "Essence of Chaos," shaking the power of ti he controlled with the Dao Fruit, expelling it.
But this degree of confinent wasn't severe.
As he exerted a bit of "strength" to break free, all these Dao constraints were shattered, and ultimately...
This teorite, which by all accounts should have been destroyed just now, suddenly appeared before him.
"What!?"
Alkaid was taken aback.
He looked at the teorite, then turned his gaze towards what seed to be stretched into a line...
Or like the Ancient Immortal Realm resembling a river flowing forward, as well as the "non-existing" teorite at the "past" location of the Ancient Immortal Realm, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"This power..."
He took a deep breath.
If material could be affected, then, what about people?
He quickly searched within this starry sky and soon found the first Dao Lord he had killed. Following the sa thod, he once again exerted the Power of Ti, with a stroke of "Essence of Chaos," and enveloped that Dao Lord.
However, this ti, when he tried to take this Dao Lord with him, the resistance he encountered was many tis greater than that of bringing out a rock earlier.
It wasn't just the Creation Dao, Stellar Path, Five Elents Dao that were involved, but also the Void Path, Ti Great Dao, Causality Dao, and Destiny Dao.
These forces intertwined together, like a vast net, binding Alkaid himself, shaking his "Essence of Chaos," and the collision was so intense that his "Essence of Chaos" began to rapidly deplete.
As the "Essence of Chaos" was consud, a faint exhaustion surged to his heart.
His connection with the Great Dao beca more obscure, and even the operation of his consciousness seed to slow down a bit.
Nevertheless, Alkaid still persevered, utilizing the pull of the Dao Lord of Ti and with the force of the Essence of Chaos, he forcefully brought this Dao Lord back from the "tispace" that had already perished.
Reviving him from death!
