Chapter 86 – The Awakening of Chaos: Dawn over the Nine Realms

A colossal silence enveloped the ancient Mystic Realm that housed the Chaos Sect. The golden towers shimmered faintly beneath the eternal sky, but the quiet didn't last long.

BOOM!

A sudden surge of cosmic power echoed across the nine realms, rippling through the sealed space. The seal on the Chaos Throne shattered like fragile glass, and a divine light erupted from the core temple—where the legacy of the Primordial Sect Master had been reawakened.

Zero—known in the real world as Rayan—stood at the center of the Chaos Sect's Grand Temple, his eyes glowing with strands of crimson, gold, and ancient violet. The legacy was now his. The past, present, and future of the Chaos Sect… rested on his shoulders.

Chaos Sect Grand Hall – Seat of Power

Twelve thrones, each made of unique materials—Obsidian Fire Crystal, Ethereal Jade, Celestial Ice, Blood Iron, and more—stood in a circular formation, surrounding the newly formed Chaos Throne, made of shimmering black-gold and breathing divine aura.

The Six Supreme Elders, the Twelve Great Elders, and Hundred Core Elders kneeled before Zero.

"We greet the Eternal Heir, Sect Master of Chaos!"

"May the Chaos Order rise once again!"

Zero stepped forward, clad in a newly tailored robe that shimmered with starlight. The Chaos Insignia burned upon his back—a symbol that hadn't been seen in the world for eons.

"I accept your loyalty," Zero said, his voice no longer youthful but infused with ancestral depth. "From this moment onward, our war to reclaim the Nine Realms begins."

The elders rose. The Supreme Elder of Strategy, Grandmaster Nirval, stepped forward.

"Sect Master, the Chaos Treasury, hidden Arsenals, Vaults of Knowledge, and the World-Link Network await your command. What shall we revive first?"

Zero didn't hesitate. "The Chaos Shadow Pavilion, the Array Temple, and the Auction House. Our influence must first flow like blood beneath the surface before we strike the heavens."

Hidden Chaos Shadow Pavilion – Underworld Resurrection

Within a separate spatial dimension linked to the Chaos Realm, the legendary Chaos Shadow Pavilion had once managed a spy network across dimensions. It had eyes in every major empire, kingdom, and sect.

Zero raised the Soul Token of the Pavilion Master, and a hidden mechanism activated. One by one, ancient tokens lit up, floating into the air as ghostly figures materialized. These were former Pavilion Commanders, now resurrected from sealed soul crystals.

"I appoint the 3rd Supreme Elder, Elder Xian, to be Pavilion Master. Recruit, infiltrate, and observe. Let no enemy escape our shadow."

Elder Xian bowed. "As you command, Sect Master."

"Deploy operatives to the Real World as well," Zero added with piercing intent. "The Verma Syndicate, Indian Underground Cultivators, and Earth's Demonic Entities are already moving. Our influence must surpass their reach."

Real World – Dominion Network Expansion

While the Chaos Sect came alive in the Mystic Realm, Zero had logged into the real world for a brief moment. Inside a hidden lab in his Mumbai base, the Chaos AI within the Chaos Ring continued its silent operation.

Thousands of nano-drones scouted every corner of India—recruiting orphans, prodigies, outcasts, and underground cultivators. In Delhi's slums, a 12-year-old child with rare Wind Vein Spirit was located and instantly teleported to the hidden base.

In Hyderabad, a girl running a small alchemy clinic was marked by the AI for her perfect Dual Spiritual Roots.

In Chennai, a blind blacksmith boy who had Heavenly Flame Meridians was picked up.

The Dominion Sect—Zero's real-world front—was no longer just a dream. It had now become a tangible force of cultivation in modern Earth.

Meanwhile, the Chaos AI had already gained access to confidential global files stored in the International Cultivator Federation's Vaults. Names, bloodlines, hidden sects, secret cities—everything was stored.

Back in the Game – Chaos Sect's Global Vision

Zero returned to the Chaos Sect and called a high-level meeting of all Supreme and Great Elders.

"Each of you shall handle a pillar of power," he declared.

Grandmaster Nirval – Oversees the World-Linking Knowledge Tome, gathering laws and techniques of all Realms. Supreme Elder Xian – Leads the Shadow Pavilion. Supreme Elder Alir – Builds the Chaos Auction House across inter-realm portals. Supreme Elder Rah'kun – Establishes the Divine Alchemy Union. Supreme Elder Yunari – Leads the Blacksmith Division to forge weapons rivaling divine artifacts. Supreme Elder Vessa – Revives the Grand Array Hall of Chaos.

Each of them accepted a Chaos Sigil Token, permanently binding them to Zero's soul print.

Arya Kapoor – The Storm Before the Calm

In another realm, Arya Kapoor, the cold and cunning heiress of the Kapoor family, was undergoing a transformation of her own. Ever since her brief encounter with Zero in the cultivation room, she had become obsessed.

"Who is he really?" she whispered under the moonlight. "No background… no records… but limitless power."

She activated a Family Bloodline Art that let her trace energy signatures through time. But when she tried to track the mysterious Room 09 cultivator—Zero—her technique was devoured by a dark fog.

"What the hell was that?" she gasped.

A message etched itself into the sky before her:

"The Eye that sees Chaos shall be blinded."

Arya's pupils constricted. She shivered. "He's no ordinary player…"

Her interest turned into obsession. She vowed to find him again, even if it meant going against her family.

Secret Meeting in the Nine Heavens Pavilion – War Brews

Across the Nine Realms, powers began to stir.

At the Nine Heavens Pavilion, a clandestine meeting took place. The leaders of major sects, clans, and divine races gathered in astral projections.

A cold and ancient voice began:

"The Chaos Sect… has awakened."

Gasps and curses filled the chamber.

The Dragon Clan's representative growled, "That cursed sect was buried in the Primordial Era. How?"

The representative of the Void Phoenix Temple spoke next: "I saw the sky crack over the Mystic Realm. A Sect Master has returned. I saw the Chaos Ring."

"Impossible!" the Demon Race Elder roared. "The Chaos Ring was sealed by the Heavenly Laws!"

But it wasn't impossible. It was real. And fear spread like wildfire.

The Nine Realms had forgotten the Chaos Sect's dominance, but now, they remembered.

"We must unite," one elder proposed. "Before he rises to Primordial Rank again."

But none could act directly. The Chaos Realm was protected by Fate Seals and the Heavenly Decree of Dormancy, which only the Sect Master could now break.

Hidden Training Grounds – Yulin the Chaos Dragon

Zero sat cross-legged in his internal beast space—a dimension inside his body with accelerated time.

Yulin, his divine dragon companion, floated mid-air with wings glowing in crimson and blue. The internal world's speed was 100×, allowing days of training in mere minutes.

"Let's test your power," Zero said.

The dragon roared, and its breath turned an entire mountain range into molten ash. Zero smirked.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned a divine spear—Astral Piercer, gifted by the legacy of the Primordial Chaos Master. In his other hand, he gripped a scroll.

[Primordial Technique: Eternal Void Breach] – Level: Mythic Ascension

Zero trained, refining his new skill set and body constitution. The Chaos Physique within him had awakened, and his cultivation had now broken into Level 6 of the Foundation Stage.

But with the Primordial Technique, he could fight Core Formation experts.

Yulin curled beside him, purring. "Master… I can now reach Ancient Dragon Form."

"Good. We will need it soon."

Inter-Realm Portal Chamber – The First Outpost

A week later, Zero stood before an ancient temple housing the Inter-Realm Teleportation Core. Chaos Engineers and Formation Masters were already restoring the ancient runes.

With a final stroke of his divine energy, the array activated.

A portal opened to the Azure Sky Realm, the first realm to fall under Chaos domination in the past.

Zero stepped through, clad in his Chaos robes and followed by elite disciples and Pavilion Shadows.

"Let's remind them what fear feels like."

They emerged inside the capital of Azure Sky Realm—right into the central plaza where thousands gathered.

The Sect Master of the ruling sect there, the Blue Lotus Sect, gasped. "Who dares open a portal without our permission?!"

Zero walked forward.

"Your permission? You sit on land that once belonged to Chaos. Now return it… or face extinction."

The Blue Lotus Sect mobilized its army. A million cultivators filled the skies.

But then, Zero raised his hand.

"Primordial Technique: Eternal Void Breach!"

The skies split open. Darkness devoured the heavens. Every single cultivator fell to their knees, their cultivation forcefully suppressed.

In the distance, mountains began to collapse from the sheer pressure.

"You have three choices," Zero said. "Submit. Join. Or vanish."

The entire Azure Sky Realm trembled.

Chapter End – Legacy Ignited

Back in the Chaos Sect, the Grand Formation of Chaos Conquest had been ignited. Once lost, the formation now pulsed with divine life. The first war outpost in Azure Sky Realm was established. Thousands of cultivators submitted.

The name Zero, the new Sect Master of Chaos, began to spread across realms like wildfire.

The Nine Realms had just woken up…

To a storm of Chaos.
