Chapter 1 Ancient Ruins

Deep within the ancient ruins stood a dome-shaped fortress, its surface gleaming with a dark golden light. Inside, upon an ornate throne, sat a strikingly handsome alien powerhouse with a long, emerald-green tail.

Below him stood six figures clad in golden armor, each radiating a palpable aura that far surpassed that of an ordinary Dao Ancestor.

"Master, my great master," a voice suddenly called from outside.

"Is that Youji?" the alien powerhouse said with a smile. He had already sensed something. "Let him in."

Following his command, Youji Honored Lord, bowing deeply, slowly entered. But behind him was a young man carrying a sword, his aura completely unsuppressed, paying no heed to the numerous alien experts before him.

"Bold!" one of the golden-armored figures shouted. Although Jiang Xuan's aura far surpassed his own, with the Great Fiend God Cixiu as his backing, he had no fear.

"Fall back!" However, before he could act, the alien powerhouse on the throne immediately roared. His expression was now solemn as he looked at Jiang Xuan, a sense of unease rising within him.

"You must be Cixiu?" Jiang Xuan said with a faint smile, his tone dismissive, not regarding the Great Fiend God Cixiu in the slightest.

"Indeed. May I ask who you are, friend?" the Great Fiend God Cixiu said heavily. The aura emanating from Jiang Xuan filled him with dread. In this Three Realms Chaos World, he had never felt such a presence.

"Da Mo Institute, beneath the seat of World God Lingya, Tianjue!" Jiang Xuan said proudly. With a wave of his hand, a mark appeared in the void, the exclusive mark of World God Lingya.

World God Lingya was a World God in the Da Mo Institute whom Jiang Xuan knew relatively well, and their relationship was good. Ancestral God Tianjue was a disciple of World God Lingya, a being close to the monstrous Ancestral Gods. Jiang Xuan had even sparred with him in swordsmanship before.

However, Ancestral God Tianjue had recently gone on an adventure and was not currently in the Da Mo Eternal World. Naturally, there would be no problems with Jiang Xuan borrowing his name.

"Da Mo Institute?!" The Great Fiend God Cixiu shuddered. Not only him, but even the other powerhouses were terrified upon hearing those words.

The Great Fiend God Cixiu didn't recognize the mark Jiang Xuan released, but in the entire Da Mo Domain, no one dared to impersonate a Da Mo Institute disciple. Within the Da Mo Institute, there was a supreme Dao Sovereign skilled in deduction. Other beings, even if they merely mentioned anything related to him, would trigger his senses. Whoever dared to impersonate would be hunted down by the Da Mo Institute!

After all, that was the Da Mo Institute, created by Dao Sovereign Da Mo, the ruler of the Da Mo Domain. It held an esteemed position throughout the Da Mo Domain, and every disciple within it was proud. Anyone who dared to impersonate a Da Mo Institute disciple would be hunted down by its powerhouses, even if Dao Sovereign Da Mo didn't issue an order.

"So it's Daoist Tianjue. Cixiu has failed to greet you properly, please forgive me." Although the Great Fiend God Cixiu was unruly, he had to be cautious when facing beings related to the Da Mo Institute.

"Ha, Youji fears you to the bone. I thought you were some kind of ferocious demon, but you're just a Chaos Ancestral God," Jiang Xuan said, his eyes filled with arrogance, not regarding the Great Fiend God Cixiu at all.

Even so, the Great Fiend God Cixiu dared not act rashly. He knew best how powerful the Da Mo Institute was. The person before him was even a disciple of a World God. Once angered, who knew what kind of methods would be unleashed.

"I heard you are the leader of all the Chaos alien races in the ancient ruins?" Jiang Xuan asked, cutting straight to the chase.

"I am," the Great Fiend God Cixiu said, a chill running down his spine as he vaguely guessed something, but even if he was unwilling, he could only endure it silently.

"I also come from Chaos. Tell me, am I qualified to be the leader of the Chaos alien races?" Jiang Xuan asked rhetorically, a smile on his lips, but a cold glint in his eyes.

"This… naturally, you are," the Great Fiend God Cixiu said, unwilling but wary of Jiang Xuan's identity.

"Hehe, rest assured, even if I intend to become this leader, I will use strength to make you submit," Jiang Xuan said calmly. "Therefore, you can fight me. If you win, the position of leader will still belong to you. But if you lose, from now on, the ancient ruins will be under my command."

The Great Fiend God Cixiu was merely a peak Ancestral God, nothing in Jiang Xuan's eyes. With his current strength, he could easily suppress him, so he was determined to take the position of leader.

The Great Fiend God Cixiu looked at Jiang Xuan, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Good!"

He had been planning and scheming in the ancient ruins for so many years, and had finally achieved today's situation. Jiang Xuan wanted to take it away with a single sentence, which he was certainly unwilling to accept. Now that he had a chance, how could he give up?

"Come!" Jiang Xuan took a step forward, shifting through space and time, ignoring the chaotic space of the ancient ruins. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in another void, one hand behind his back, the other beckoning to the Great Fiend God Cixiu, his expression showing no worry.

"Boom!"

The Great Fiend God Cixiu didn't dare to underestimate Jiang Xuan. He manifested six arms, each wielding a powerful technique, each surpassing the Heavenly Dao limit. Like a stream of light, he crossed space and arrived with a single strike.

Bang!

The six arms struck simultaneously, shattering the space, as if transforming into countless fragments flying and scattering between heaven and earth. An Ancestral God unleashing his full power caused even the space-time in the ancient ruins to collapse.

At this moment, divine patterns flickered on the Great Fiend God Cixiu's body, blooming with divine light, so bright that it seemed to contain the intent of Chaos, as if able to suppress everything.

However, such a technique that could crush ordinary Ancestral Gods was casually blocked by Jiang Xuan. One hand blocked in front of him, as if separating heaven and earth, preventing all wills and energies from invading.

"What?!"

The Great Fiend God Cixiu's heart trembled. He hadn't underestimated Jiang Xuan, so he had attacked with all his strength. Using the body of an Ancestral God, he punched with the power of Chaos. Even if it was also a peak Ancestral God, it was impossible to block it easily.

However, Jiang Xuan had blocked it with just one hand, even dissipating all the power of the strike, vanishing in an instant, as if that terrible strike had never happened.

They were simply not on the same level!

The Great Fiend God Cixiu was filled with fear. This was no longer the strength that a peak Ancestral God could possess. It had already surpassed the peak Ancestral God, even comparable to a monstrous Ancestral God!

"Will you continue?" Jiang Xuan said with a faint smile. The Great Fiend God Cixiu's strength was not bad, almost surpassing the peak Ancestral God, but compared to Jiang Xuan, his strength was still too far apart.

With a bitter smile, the Great Fiend God Cixiu dared not act rashly again. He reverted to his true form and stood respectfully before Jiang Xuan: "Cixiu is willing to honor Lord Tianjue as the leader of the ancient ruins and countless Chaos alien races."

Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "A wise choice. If I can seize the Three Realms Chaos World in the future, I will certainly not mistreat you."

Jiang Xuan's words made the Great Fiend God Cixiu's heart tremble. It turned out that this "Ancestral God Tianjue" had the same idea as him.

It should be known that the Three Realms Chaos World had always been in a closed state, never having contact with the outside world, but even so, there were still monstrous beings like Nüwa from the ancient times who became World Gods.

Moreover, this Chaos World was formed after the collision of two major Chaos Worlds, which was an unbelievable thing in Chaos, so the Great Fiend God Cixiu had always believed that this realm had a great secret.

Therefore, for a long time, he had been laying out a plan to seize control of the Three Realms. Now, with the war between the No Intermission Sect and Nüwa's camp, it was the best opportunity. If his plan could succeed, then the Three Realms would be in his hands in the future.

However, he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to appear, and Jiang Xuan's background was terrifying, being a disciple of the Da Mo Institute, something he had never dared to imagine before. In addition, Jiang Xuan's own strength was beyond imagination. He himself understood that he definitely couldn't keep the position of leader.

"I heard you've cooperated with the No Intermission Sect?"

Jiang Xuan's gaze swept over a certain place in the fortress, where he could see a Heavenly Immortal-level puppet. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Immortal U Xiao.

In ancient times, the greatest enemy of the Three Realms was the Lord of All Things. He guided the No Intermission Sect to fight against Nüwa's camp, intending to profit from it, but he didn't expect Nüwa to break through to the World Realm, and ultimately he was defeated and died.

However, he also left behind many secret treasures. For example, he had a Cauldron of All Things, whose artifact spirit was Immortal U Xiao. Over a long period of time, this Immortal U Xiao had also been subdued by the No Intermission Sect, and now recognized the No Intermission Sect's Lord Fengmo as its master.

Of course, this Immortal U Xiao was also very special. He mastered many of the Lord of All Things' refining techniques, and even refined Ancestral God-level puppets, the "Messengers of All Things," during the Realm War.

The Heavenly Immortal puppet in the fortress was also a clone of Immortal U Xiao, used to transmit messages.

He had just seen everything about Jiang Xuan and the Great Fiend God Cixiu's battle, and if there were no accidents, the name "Ancestral God Tianjue" had already reached the ears of the No Intermission Sect.

"Yes, Master," the Great Fiend God Cixiu said respectfully. Although he was arrogant, he also admired the strong, and Jiang Xuan's strength was worthy of his respect.

"Hehe, let him go. I am determined to obtain this Chaos World, and I will not allow others to covet it," Jiang Xuan said coldly, as if the Three Realms had already become his possession. In contrast, the No Intermission Sect and Nüwa's camp were foreign races coveting the Three Realms.

"Yes!" The Great Fiend God Cixiu naturally had no objections. The reason why he cooperated with the No Intermission Sect before was because the No Intermission Sect had Dao Ancestor Fengmo, a monster who could escape unscathed from a World Realm powerhouse, and the Great Fiend God Cixiu had to be wary of him.

But now it was different. Jiang Xuan's strength was beyond imagination, and he was definitely no match for Fengmo in a direct confrontation. As for running away, well, if he ran, he ran, and it wouldn't affect them.
