Chapter 1304: Two and a Half

Excited voices reverberated through the entire Human Palace.

Even the disciples on Hidden Spirit Island could hear the commotion.

Yuan Lord and the six human race elders who had absorbed the chaotic aura all had a gleam in their eyes.

Yuan Lord, Lord of the Demon Domain, and the other six human race elders appeared in the Chaotic Mist Area, charging toward the chaotic giant beast while breaking the void.

Xu Fan followed them at his top speed, not even leaving traces of broken space behind.

“This is way too intense; it seems this thing is really tempting," Xu Fan remarked.

Just as he spoke, a powerful fluctuation of battle swept over.

By the time Xu Fan reached the battlefield, he saw that Yuan Lord, Lord of the Demon Domain, and the other six human race elders had gone all out.

No holding back, no testing the waters—they were fighting with everything they had.

The star gate summoned three ancient stars, and Lord of the Demon Domain transformed into a true demon, his true form overshadowing the chaotic saint-level giant beast.

The other six human race elders also unleashed their ultimate moves.

Life’s two greatest grievances are avenging a father’s murder and the resentment of a stolen wife.

Seeing the ferocity of their attacks, Xu Fan thought it matched perfectly with these two grievances.

When Xu Fan was about to set up the grand formation, Lord of the Demon Domain stopped him.

“Xu the Divine Master, don’t waste your energy; save it for extracting the chaotic aura,” Lord of the Demon Domain said before charging back into the fray.

At that moment, Lord of the Demon Domain transformed into a true demon, resembling a world-destroying god or demon, with lines on his body shimmering with purple light, giving him an air of both nobility and eeriness.

Yuan Lord remained silent as the three ancient stars transformed into three giant arrows, appearing behind the Arrow Elder.

“If these three arrows don’t kill it, I’ll write my name upside down,” the Arrow Elder said with fiery determination.

He had been a Great Saint Powerful Being of the human race for countless epochs, reaching a state of calm where nothing could disturb him.

He thought this tranquility would last until his eventual demise in the chaos.

But to his surprise, the chaotic aura he had recently absorbed made his long-dormant heart beat with excitement once more.

Moreover, while absorbing it, he had sensed a new realm—something he had never experienced before.

“Elder Wang, maybe you should pick a different character to write upside down,” Yuan Lord quipped.

A star gate seemed to connect directly to the body of the chaotic giant beast, causing the besieged creature to go into a frenzy.

“Hold it back; just keep it in place, and the three arrows will surely finish it,” Yuan Lord’s voice echoed through the Chaotic Mist Area.

The Arrow Elder gripped the giant bow of stars, his other hand reaching for the ancient arrow behind him.

“This will be a guaranteed kill.”

As the ancient arrow was nocked on the giant bow of stars, Xu Fan felt the space in the chaotic area begin to tremble uncontrollably, growing more intense by the second.

The enraged chaotic giant beast, under the full suppression of Lord of the Demon Domain and the other human race elders, seemed on the verge of being subdued.

In an instant, the Arrow Elder released the arrow, and it shot straight into the star gate.

The chaotic giant beast suddenly trembled violently.

Its aura weakened by a third, and a flicker of fear appeared in its eyes.

“Quick, the chaotic giant beast is trying to escape!” Lord of the Demon Domain shouted, frantically suppressing the surrounding space.

The Second Arrow was loosed, followed swiftly by the Third Arrow.

After the three arrows, the Chaotic Mist Area fell into silence.

The chaotic giant beast, which had been thrashing wildly moments ago, now floated lifelessly in the Chaotic Mist Area.

With each ancient arrow fired, Yuan Lord’s face grew paler.

After the third arrow, Yuan Lord began to tremble visibly.

Xu Fan hurried over to steady him.

Everyone reverted to their human forms, all looking utterly drained, their auras diminished by a third.

Seeing this, Xu Fan immediately instructed Grape to carve a teleportation formation, sending everyone back to the Human Palace.

“Rest and recover,” Xu Fan said.

“I know what you’re all waiting for; I’ll speed things up,” he added, noticing the weary yet hopeful looks in their eyes, which reminded him of children eager for treats.

“Hurry,” Lord of the Demon Domain urged impatiently.

As the Human Palace continued its journey, Xu Fan returned to the underground space of Hidden Spirit Island to begin extracting the chaotic aura containing chaotic truth.

Inside the vast Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure space, Xu Fan stood quietly, observing the massive chaotic giant beast.

“Grape, let’s work together to deduce how to extract thirty percent of the chaotic truth,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master,” Grape replied.

The Xuanhuang space began to accelerate as Grape and Xu Fan focused their efforts on extracting more chaotic truth.

Time within the Xuanhuang space sped up, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Grape and Xu Fan poured all their energy into extracting the chaotic truth.

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.

“Is chaotic truth truly something that defies containment?”

After a century of deduction, Xu Fan and Grape concluded that the best they could do was extract two and a half portions of chaotic truth, transforming it into chaotic aura.

“Two and a half is better than one,” Xu Fan muttered.

“Grape, I’ll leave this to you,” he said, stepping out of the Xuanhuang space and returning to the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived, he spotted Yuan Lord and Lord of the Demon Domain fishing in the giant lake at the base of the main peak.

The moment they sensed Xu Fan’s presence, the two vanished and reappeared in the courtyard.

“Is it ready? Is it ready?” Lord of the Demon Domain asked eagerly.

Seeing his anxious demeanor, Xu Fan couldn’t help but worry. What if Lord of the Demon Domain became addicted and couldn’t get enough of the chaotic aura?

Wouldn’t that mean he’d be pestering Xu Fan endlessly?

“Just wait another half month. Grape has already started accelerating the extraction,” Xu Fan said, pouring tea for the two.

“Did you make any progress this time?” Yuan Lord asked, his eyes showing a mix of urgency and restraint.

“I managed to increase the extraction from one portion to two and a half. Your shares will more than double compared to last time,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

“That’s good to hear. I was worried you might just extract the chaotic giant beast directly without delving deeper,” Yuan Lord said, clearly pleased.

“I came to tell you that Elder Wang seems to have touched the threshold of the chaotic saint realm,” Yuan Lord continued.

“But he’ll need more chaotic aura containing chaotic truth. If we can gather over a hundred and thirty more portions like last time, he should be able to break through to chaotic saint,” Yuan Lord added, his excitement evident.

“Really?” Xu Fan was stunned. He hadn’t expected anyone to come so close to the chaotic saint realm so soon.

“We’ve decided to allocate a bit more to Elder Wang to help him advance faster. It’ll make hunting chaotic giant beasts much easier in the future,” Yuan Lord explained.

“As part of the human race, I’ll do my part,” Xu Fan said, glancing curiously at Lord of the Demon Domain.

Lord of the Demon Domain understood the unspoken question in Xu Fan’s gaze.

“They’re all elders who’ve lived for tens of thousands of epochs. How can I compare to them?”

“After absorbing the chaotic truth from that chaotic giant beast, I barely managed to reach the peak of the Great Saint level,” he admitted.
