Unraveling the Chaos – The Seed Speaks 

Jiang Chen, Bai Muchen, and Xiao Dong stepped into the secluded cultivation chamber, their bodies still carrying the weight of their brutal journey through the first ten floors of the Temple of Heaven and Earth. Though they had fought like madmen and emerged victorious, they had yet to fully grasp the extent of their newfound power.

The chamber was vast, lined with ancient formations that shimmered with a mystical glow. The Qi in the air was almost intoxicating—far purer than anything they had ever cultivated in before.

Above the entrance, an inscription flickered into existence:

"Power without understanding is a weapon without a wielder. Sharpen yourselves."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Whoever built this temple understood the necessity of refinement. No matter how strong one became, true strength was in mastering one's power.

They exchanged glances. Without a word, all three of them separated into their own meditation areas.

Xiao Dong sat cross-legged on the cold stone floor, his fists clenched. The treasure he had obtained from the temple, the Stormbreaking War Gauntlets, floated before him. These weren't ordinary gauntlets—they were a relic of a warrior who had once shattered the skies with his fists alone.

He slipped them on, and instantly, his Qi surged, his bones vibrating with power.

A thunderous pulse resonated within him.

His body felt different—more resilient, more sturdy. His raw physical strength, already monstrous before, felt several times stronger. The moment he clenched his fists, an overwhelming sense of destructive force filled his body.

He punched forward.

BOOOOM!

The shockwave alone cracked the walls of the chamber, forcing him to steady himself.

Xiao Dong grinned. This is what I needed.

With these, he wasn't just a brawler anymore—he was a human calamity.

Bai Muchen sat in deep meditation, his eyes shut as the Sundering Monarch's Crest burned upon his chest.

It resonated with his Titanblood Physique, amplifying his destructive capabilities beyond anything he had imagined.

His body trembled, and then it began to change.

His muscles expanded, his entire form growing larger. His very breath carried an air of undisputed dominance.

As he activated his Qi, his body responded by enlarging in proportion to his cultivation power—his arms thickened, his chest broadened, and his height increased slightly. His fists alone looked capable of tearing through mountains.

This was his newfound divine ability—Titan's Ascension.

With this, he wouldn't just break things. He would dominate battlefields.

A slow, wolfish grin stretched across his face.

Jiang Chen sat in absolute silence, his mind focused inward.

Unlike the others, his power had changed on a fundamental level. The treasure he had obtained, the Chaos Emperor's Inheritance, was not merely an item—it had branded itself into his very being.

He lifted his palm, staring at it. Power coiled just beneath his skin, restless. Unfamiliar. Raw.

He clenched his fist.

BOOOOOOM!

A ripple of uncontrolled destruction spread through the chamber, forcing him to steady himself. His Chaos Qi surged, but it was different now.

It wasn't just wild and untamed—it had an edge to it. A sharpness that could carve through existence itself.

Then he felt it—his new innate ability had fully awakened.

Jiang Chen focused, and instantly, his Starshadow Body activated, its power now infused with something greater.

His body flickered, vanishing in an instant.

But unlike before, he felt a certain familiarity with the void that wasn't there previously.

This time, he moved within the void itself and discovered something.

His pupils shrank.

Voidwalker... It's evolved?

Before, Voidwalker had allowed him to shift through the void, making his movements almost impossible to predict.

Now?

He could almost control how long he stayed in the void.

Jiang Chen stepped forward.

BOOOOM!

His body blurred, and for a brief second, he was no longer in this world.

When he reappeared, a dark ripple of residual void energy lingered in his wake.

His breath was slow, steady.

This… is different.

Not only could he shift through space, but he could now enter a void-state for a longer time, making himself untouchable.

Jiang Chen smirked.

That's what I like to see.

But even as he tested his new power, something deep inside him felt… unresolved.

The Chaos Seed pulsed.

It was calling him.

Jiang Chen exhaled, closing his eyes. He sank into his consciousness, allowing himself to be drawn into the boundless void that was the realm of the Chaos Seed.

The familiar cosmic abyss unfolded before him, stretching endlessly in all directions. Stars flickered in the distance, black tendrils of unknown energy swirling across the void.

And then—

A voice.

Ancient. Boundless.

"You have finally come."

Jiang Chen's eyes snapped open.

Who…?

The voice chuckled. It was neither male nor female, neither young nor old. It was a presence that transcended form.

"You seek answers, but you are not yet ready to understand."

Jiang Chen's fists clenched. "Then why call me here?"

"Because you must learn."

A sudden force crashed down upon him, his body locking in place. It was as if reality itself had become unmovable.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth. What is this suppression?!

The voice spoke again.

"The Chaos Seed does not simply grant power. It is not a weapon, nor a mere artifact. It is… something beyond your comprehension."

Jiang Chen's breath was heavy. "Then tell me! What am I supposed to do with it? Where did it come from?"

The presence remained silent for a long moment.

Then—

"You are not yet ready for that truth. To know it now would change nothing—it would only burden you further."

Jiang Chen's eyes burned with frustration. "Then what am I supposed to do?"

The voice responded, firm yet calm.

"Grow. Strengthen yourself. Only when you have the power to affect the outcome… will you understand the purpose of the Chaos Seed."

Jiang Chen exhaled slowly, his mind racing.

This… presence. Whoever it was, it knew something.

But it refused to tell him.

Instead, it was guiding him. Forcing him to forge his own path before revealing the truth.

Jiang Chen smirked slightly. "Fine. I'll play your game. But remember this—"

His golden-amber eyes burned with defiance.

"When I come back… you will tell me everything."

The presence chuckled. "We shall see."

BOOOOOM!

Jiang Chen was thrust back into reality, his eyes snapping open as his consciousness returned.

His body trembled slightly.

He exhaled.

His mind was clear.

The path ahead was unchanged.

Grow. Strengthen himself. Survive.

The Chaos Seed would help him when he needed it.

And when the time was right…

He would return to this place.

And the Chaos Seed would answer him.
