564 Goals And Bottleneck
“Tai, even you have never seen an Ancient Chaos God?”
Chu Xuan was really curious about Ancient Chaos Gods, these pinnacle existences in the chaos.
“Are you trying to curry favor with an Ancient Chaos God to gain protection for the human race?”
Tai asked in surprise.
If the human race really had an Ancient Chaos God backing them up, it would indeed solve their current predicament.
No matter how strong the various races were, they would not dare to offend an Ancient Chaos God.
Even the legendary ancestors of the immortal, celestial, and demon races did not dare to become enemies with an Ancient Chaos God.
“Chu, I advise you to give up on this idea. The Ancient Chaos Gods are unpredictable. Even if you offer to serve them, they might not accept. Furthermore, one wrong move and the human race will be wiped out on a whim.”
“In the eyes of such existences, humans are nothing but ants.”
Tai tried to persuade him otherwise.
“Just answer me directly. Have you seen an Ancient Chaos God or not? Why are you nagging me?”
Chu Xuan was speechless.
The relationship between Tai and Chu did not seem to be simple.
Tai was silent.
After a long while, he said, “I once saw a terrifying existence from afar. He flattened a chaos abyss with a flip of his hand. That existence should have been an Ancient Chaos God.”
“That chaos abyss wasn’t any smaller than the one you mentioned,” he continued after a pause.
Chu Xuan’s heart trembled. Ancient Chaos Gods were much more powerful than he had expected if that was the case. That kind of strength was beyond his imagination, and far beyond his own strength.
If Hei Yue truly ended up barging into the chaos abyss and releasing the abyssal beings within, it would almost certainly anger the Ancient Chaos God.
He immediately felt a sense of pressure to increase his strength.
Ancient Chaos Gods were existences born with a Dao path and an ability to control the power of the laws. They had also lived for a long time, perhaps even longer than the nine zones. In fact, they might even be able to break into the nine zones from the chaos.
“How powerful…”
“Tai, when will you become that powerful?” Chu Xuan sighed.
Tai laughed coldly and said, “Chu, don’t mess around. You still want to trick me into fighting for you? Do you really think that I’m stupid and easy to fool?”
Chu Xuan’s face was strange. This was an unexpected gain.
No wonder Tai kept saying that Chu was sinister and cunning. It turned out that Chu had duped him into fighting on his behalf.
It seemed like Tai and Chu were once close friends.
He should find a chance to ask Yang about Chu.
“The Ancient Chaos Gods are likely focused on transcending the chaos, and won’t participate in matters relating to the various races,” Tai continued.
“Chu, don’t play with fire. You should know that the former rulers of the nine zones were chaotic beings. They were the descendants of these Ancient Chaos Gods and were extremely powerful.”
“If they were still alive today, they would be as strong as those with Dao paths that are five to six million miles long.”
Chu Xuan thought of Hun You, who was one of the rulers of the nine zones back then.
When he was at his peak, he did not have a Dao path that was a million miles long. Still, it would not be strange if things were as Tai said if Hun You had lived till today.
To measure the strength of a Daoyuan realm expert, one looked not only at the length of the Dao path, but also the strength of the Dao path.
Chu Xuan’s Dao path was a miniature Great Dao, and the world that he had created on the Dao path was a Great Dao world. In terms of strength, his Dao path far exceeded the Dao paths of normal World Creator realm experts..
How strong was an Ancient Chaos God in comparison?
He reckoned that they at least had Dao paths that were tens of millions of miles long. The ten-million-mile mark was obviously another milestone.
This would be his next goal. Only then would he have the means to deal with the Ancient Chaos God who had created this chaos abyss.
“Chu, are you scared?”
Tai saw that Chu Xuan had remained silent for a long time and snickered.
He was very happy to be able to scare the old sly fox, Chu.
Chu Xuan felt pressured and was no longer in the mood to continue talking to Tai. After a few casual words, he deactivated the mirror.
On the ancient path, the battle was still ongoing.
Occasionally, there would be Dao realm experts who were heavily injured and returned to the nine zones to recuperate.
There were also some weak abyssal beings that entered the nine zones and were killed by the Divine realm cultivators of the nine zones.
At the same time, there were many Dao realm cultivators who broke through in battle, increasing their cultivation level. Kingslayer was one of these. The battle on the ancient path was fraught with death and blood, which was perfect to advance his Extreme Dao of Slaughter.
There were already more than a dozen abyssal beings by Hei Yue’s side, as well as by Demon Buddha’s side.
His disciples’ overall strength had grown during this period of time.
Chu Xuan had a premonition that as the Great Abyssal calamity developed, the abyssal beings that could enter the ancient path would become stronger and stronger.
It probably would not be long before Daoyuan realm abyssal beings would be able to join in.
Hong Yuanchu and the others were all in seclusion.
When the ancient path could accommodate the Daoyuan realm cultivators, Hong Yuanchu and the other Daoyuan realm cultivators of the nine zones would also need to participate.
Otherwise, the nine zones would not be able to resist the invasion of the abyssal beings.
Of course, the fighting on the ancient path had its own benefits. The prerequisite was that he had to survive.
Chu Xuan once again immersed himself in cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Chu Xuan frowned. Without relying on the system, his cultivation progressed extremely slowly.
It seemed that he had encountered a bottleneck after reaching the three-million-mile mark.
Chu Xuan had never experienced this before. He now knew what Hong Yuanchu and the others felt like when they were trying to extend their Dao paths.
At this rate, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to reach his ten-million-mile goal. Although it was much faster than any other Daoyuan realm cultivator, it was unacceptable for Chu Xuan.
He could not afford to spend that much time cultivating. The Great Abyssal calamity would not last that long, and the threat of the Ancient Chaos God was looming.
Chu Xuan frowned. Was he limited by his talent?
He had the Indestructible Chaos body and many treasures. He was more talented than any other Ancient Chaos God. However, it seemed that the Indestructible Chaos body also had its limits, and that Chu Xuan had reached those limits.
Honestly, without the system, he probably would be far behind his current cultivation level and strength.
