Sudden Rise of Divine Sense
As the cultivators of the Luo family had already run in different directions, the Chaos did not bother to chase each of them down.
It had been paying attention to everything Yang Chen had gone through while hiding in Yang Chen prior. It was aware of the whereabouts of many cultivators, such as the Xiao family, the Ning family, and the Hongmeng in the center. It intended to visit those locations one by one because there was no reason to just pursue the Luo family.
Since Chaos was a demonic beast that would never die or diminish, its wisdom grew with time. Yet, it did not make it any human. Its flaw was unable to control its greediness.
Chaos would always want to eat all humans, no matter what the scenario was. That was what distinguished a beast from a regular person, and it was also the reason why ancient cultivators would risk their lives to steal it away.
They knew that the elimination of mankind would happen if Chaos was not sealed away. Chaos was born to devour and absorb all living beings. That was its destiny rather than its choice.
However, it was unable to be killed or else, it would have died long ago.
âHmmâŠthey are surely good at running.â The Chaos mumbled while it was enjoying the aftertaste of the last flesh. It then laid its eyes on Xiao Zhiqing. Swiftly, it stood in front of her.
Seeing the Chaos staring at her, Xiao Zhiqing shivered. âWhatâŠwhat did you do to my husbandâŠâ
âHaving the courage to speak right into my eyes. You are surely brave enough, little girl.â The Chaos smirked. âYour man is no longer here. From today onwards, the body belongs to me.â
âYou liar! My husband will not lose to you!â Xiao Zhiqing screamed with tears, carrying that little glimpse of hope inside her.
âHahahahahah, I donât have time to waste on bullshit with you. Yang Chen had the audacity to ask me to defend his women. I agreed at first, but Iâve since altered my opinion. To restore my powers, Iâm busy devouring cultivators. I donât have time for you disgusting humans.â
The Chaos was filled with the need for vengeance. âHow can Yang Chen not respect me while I was weak. Youâre his lady. I can eat you first, then proceed to the island to eat the others. That will put an end to my hatred! But now I wish I could see Yang Chenâs lady begging me for mercy. Iâll spare your life if you can make me happy.â
Xiao Zhiqing jolted but she smiled coldly. âLooks like youâre just a pitiful little bug. Kill me as you wish! Do you think I would beg you for mercy? Even a weak woman like me is going to look down on you!â
Frowned, the Chaos smirked once again. âAlright! Since you donât know your place, Iâll rip your body apart and eat you up! I wonder how Yang Chen would feel if he knew he ate his own woman!â
Upon finishing its sentence, Chaos aimed for Xiao Zhiqingâs chest, wanting to grab her heart out!
Yet, before its arm could reach out, the Chaos had a shock!
âHowâŠhow is it possibleâŠyouâŠdamn itâŠno!â
Chaosâ face began to crumble, and its body began to convulse. The bleeding red color in the eyes was like flashing lighting at the same time. The demonic aura was also unstableâŠ
Xiao Zhiqing who was closing her eyes and preparing for her death noticed something was off. Seeing what was happening caused her mixed feelings. She was worried but also filled with hope!
At that moment, there was a strong mental force breaking Chaosâ oppression in Yang Chenâs sea of divine sense. It was struggling to break free!
âYou bastard! I knew you wonât keep your promise. Protecting my women?! Donât treat me like a three-year-old kid!â
Yang Chenâs roar came from the deep side of the divine sense. There was a strong spiritual mental power overpowering the Chaosâ divine sense!
In an instance, the long-lost divine sense of Yang Chen appeared once again, on par with the Chaosâ.
In the sea of divine sense, there were two Yang Chen!
Staring the vengeful spiritual energy radiating from Yang Chen, the Chaos thought of something!
âThatâs the mental powers of that divinity?!â
The Chaos finally recognized it. That was the divinity inherited from Hades!
However, for some reason, the power radiating from the divinity was way greater than before!
Yang Chen smiled as his eyes filled with battle spirit!
âHow are you feeling right now?â Youâd never guess I had something up my sleeve. Even though you have regained part of your powers, the Chaos Cauldron has locked your actual essence. Thatâs why you can only use my body. Your inner soul, if Iâm not mistaken, isnât powerful enough to swallow me. Otherwise, you would have done so instead of enticing me with a slew of gimmicks and compelling me to hand over power.â
Chaos was frustrated after being exposed by Yang Chen.
Indeed, the seal from the ancient cultivators was very strong. Its true soul was locked in the Chaos Cauldron. Without completely recovering its powers, there was no way it could escape from the restrictions of Chaos Cauldron.
Due to the effects of the cauldron, it was also difficult for it to fully recover as it could not run away. It could only attach to Yang Chenâs body.
If its true soul was strong enough, it would have devoured Yang Chen straight away. There was no need for it to tempt and persuade Yang Chen multiple times and be disrespected.
Chaos seized the opportunity this time because, first and foremost, it believed its abilities had recovered sufficiently to repress Yang Chenâs true soul. In terms of eating his soul, maybe in the future.
Second, the Chaos reasoned that no matter how powerful Yang Chenâs actual soul was, as long as it surrendered now, there would be no chance of resistance, until the Chaos itself surrendered control. It was the same assumption that it had previously been unable to take over Yang Chenâs body owing to his unwillingness.
Never had he thought Yang Chenâs mental powers would rise in a sudden!
The mental power and divine sense might sound different but they were the same thing. Both were part of the true soul!
In terms of divine sense, there were eight parts: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, consciousness, manas, and Älaya-vijñÄna.
Älaya-vijñÄna was known as the seed of thoughts in Buddhism, the source of happiness, anger, sorrow, and enjoyment.
As for the mental power, it was a power released by the consciousness in a humanâs mind.
The humanâs consciousness was mysterious while the gods used the mysterious âdivinityâ to turn consciousness into strong mental powers. They could release and hide it anytime anywhere. It was similar to the concept of unlocking the restrictions.
The mental power that represented consciousness was the most important part of a strong divine sense. The divine sense was a form of true soul.
At present, Yang Chenâs mental powers were released from the divinity, along with Hadesâ vengeful aura. This surely had increased the Chaosâ pressure!
âHow is it possibleâŠhow did your mental powers grow so strong?!â The Chaos was struggling as it realized its divine sense was being suppressed!
Yang Chenâs excitement grew as he approached. âYou may only speculate and witness my behavior, but you will never grasp my inner thoughts. Long before the Heart of Gaia began to heal, the divinityâs mental power had expanded enormously. The godsâ mental abilities were also growing. You wouldnât know, though, because I donât apply the Law of Space. You have no idea how different my divinity was from before! My real soul will be instantly strengthened as long as I unleash the mental powers from the deity, even if my cultivation remains unchanged! Do you honestly believe that my divine sense is on par with or even weaker than yours? If thatâs the case, youâre entirely wrong! Iâve long surpassed you and thereâs no way you could catch up!â
Yang Chenâs words crushed Chaosâ ego. No matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail!
The growing mental powers from the divinity helped Yang Chenâs true soul in overcoming the Chaosâ and completely suppressed it!
âNoâŠI will never lose to youâŠThis is unfair! ArghâŠâ
It was useless for Chaos to even try since it was not aware of it in the first place. The Heart of Gaia had supplied a great number of mental powers to the gods. Its divine sense was no longer on par with Yang Chenâs at present.
Yang Chen muttered arrogantly as he saw the Chaos weakening. âIâve told you that youâre nothing more than a pet. How dare you play mind tricks with your owner?! I have complete authority over you now that you have revealed all of the cultivations you hid previously. Iâll arrive at Shang Qing Heavenly Lightning and be unstoppable. Chaos, if you donât want to descend into the infinite deep abyss, I suggest you be my faithful lapdog!â
âFilthy humansâŠNo!!!â
The Chaosâ scream faded away and in the end, disappeared in Yang Chenâs sea of divine senseâŠ
