Chapter 109 – Chaos Vault: Secrets of the Forbidden Flame

The Mystic Realm of the Chaos Sect was quiet.

Not the silence of peace—but the silence of expectation.

A silence that weighed on the stars.

After his projection appeared above Dominion Sky Fortress and declared the march into the Divine Eastern Territories, Rayan vanished once more—this time, not across realms, but deep within the heart of the Chaos Sect itself.

He followed an unmarked path hidden beneath the Pillar of Eternity, accessible only to the True Sect Master.

His Chaos Ring burned silently.

Each step down the stairwell was marked in Primordial language.

"Here sleeps knowledge the gods once feared."

"Here rests the power that broke the Realms."

"Here lies the Vault of the Forbidden Flame."

Scene – Arrival at the Chaos Vault

The stairway led to a sealed gate.

No keyhole. No sigil. No carvings.

Just stone.

And silence.

Rayan placed his palm forward. The Chaos Ring lit up. A burning circular emblem spread across the surface of the wall.

[Primordial Access Granted]

The stone dissolved into stardust.

And he entered.

He stood inside a spherical chamber large enough to hold mountains.

Floating tomes orbited the space like planets. Ancient weapons glowed in stasis fields. Spirits of techniques whispered through the air. A single black throne stood at the center.

Rayan walked forward, but the moment his foot touched the center platform—

Time stopped.

Scene – The Keeper Awakens

Flames gathered before him.

A being rose—shaped like a man, forged of cosmic fire and black chaos. No face, no body. Just presence.

It spoke without a voice:

"Are you the heir?"

Rayan stood tall. "I am."

"Will you wield what even the Founder sealed away?"

"I will—if it means saving the Realms."

"Will you burn the world to build a better one?"

Rayan's eyes narrowed. "No. I'll burn the old chains. The world will shape itself after."

Silence.

Then the being knelt.

And its flame flowed into the air—becoming thousands of sigils.

"Then inherit the Forbidden Vault."

Scene – The Three Forbidden Legacies

Three pedestals emerged from the ground, each holding a single item.

Each sealed in ten layers of spiritual locks.

Each radiating power vast enough to shake Heaven.

1. Legacy of the Founder – Chaos Flame Codex (Primordial Rank)

A black tome pulsing with living fire. Every page was written in a language only the Chaos Ring could decipher. The Codex contained:

Forbidden Soul Techniques Chaos Flame Transformations Soul Split Resurrection And… the incomplete Ninth Law of Chaos

Rayan reached forward.

[You have inherited: Chaos Flame Codex – Sealed Volume I]

[New Passive: Chaos Body Refinement Lv.1 unlocked]

[Caution: Do not attempt Volume II without fully mastering your soul core.]

2. Weapon of Annihilation – Oblivion Spear

A pitch-black spear suspended in anti-gravity. Its tip was rumored to pierce space, time, and karma itself.

Forged during the collapse of the first Realm War, it was last wielded by the Founder in a battle that destroyed an entire celestial continent.

[Bound Weapon Detected: Oblivion Spear]

[Seal Level: 3 of 9]

[Link to Chaos Ring established]

[Restriction: Can only be drawn when in full Chaos Merge state]

Rayan whispered to himself, "Not now… but soon."

3. Relic of Judgment – Eye of the End

A glowing crystal orb, housing the Eye of the Founder, extracted upon his final cultivation death. It could:

See through all illusions Reveal karmic threads Pierce disguise and prophecy Break realm-space during Divine Tier combat

Rayan hesitated.

The Eye was not just a tool.

It was a burden.

[Eye of the End synchronization in progress…]

[Warning: Will partially unlock suppressed memories of Founder's final war.]

"So be it," Rayan said, placing a hand on it.

Scene – Visions of the Final War

Pain struck him.

He saw a world of ash and lightning.

Armies of gods falling. Sects collapsing. The Chaos Sect standing against a coalition of eight Divine Orders who feared their potential.

He saw the betrayal.

One of the Founder's own elders—seduced by immortality—opened the gates from within.

The Founder fought for seven days, alone, burning realms, killing kings, and seeding a secret clone into the Heavenly Pearl World—the same clone that gave Rayan his soul.

The last memory: A whisper to the void.

"Rebuild it. Better."

Scene – Awakening and Transformation

Rayan collapsed to one knee as the Eye fused to his spiritual sea.

His Chaos Ring evolved again.

It now bore three rotating bands instead of one, and the energy it radiated formed a semi-divine domain around his body.

[Chaos Flame Authority increased]

[Access to Elder Command Override – Granted]

[Summon Authority – Elders, Guardians, and Artifact Spirits]

[Chaos Spear Training Room – Unlocked]

[Hidden Challenge – "Trial of the Primordial Sun" – Available]

And something else…

A message.

Not from the Founder. But from the Chaos AI.

"Now you understand what's coming."

"The Nine Realms are not just homes… they're prisons."

"Someone built them to contain something older."

"And it's waking up."

Scene – Returning to the Realm

Rayan rose.

He had inherited the forbidden legacies.

He now bore the memories of the Founder's pain, victories, and last moments.

But more importantly, he understood the stakes.

The Hollow Emperor was just a symptom.

There was something else beneath all this—a force buried beneath reality.

"I have to get stronger… faster."

He vanished from the vault.

Scene – Dominion Sky Fortress: One Day Later

Asha and Arya stood at the training cliffs, watching the remaining disciples recover from the trials.

Arya turned. "I can feel it."

Asha nodded. "He's back."

Suddenly, lightning shattered the horizon—and a flaming spiral descended from the sky.

Rayan emerged, his aura vastly different. Controlled. Quiet. But heavier than before.

"We begin preparations," he said.

"In three days… we strike east."

"And if any realm stands in our way—we burn through them."
