Chapter 1417: A New Chaotic Mist Area

Within the Three Thousand Realms, avatar number two kept an eye on the battle outside the realms from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Xu Fan, where have you been wandering off to? It’s been over four hundred thousand years; it’s time to come back,” avatar number two muttered, glancing toward Xu Fan’s courtyard.

“Since you left, I’ve had to abandon a thriving situation over there just to manage things here.”

“I wonder how the Grand Leader is doing. Did he receive the Primordial Supreme Treasure I sent?”

Avatar number two watched Wang Yulun, who was holding his own against two opponents, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Good thing I didn’t need to use my backup plan. In the end, it was Xu Fan’s good brother who stepped up,” avatar number two said with a sigh.

Just then, a Great Saint-level god or demon puppet approached avatar number two.

“Looks like I won’t need to call on my backup this time. Xu Fan’s good brother is already capable of handling things on his own,” avatar number one said, sounding pleased.

“Your backup was only needed once. I can handle attacks from these chaotic Great Saints easily,” avatar number two replied with a grin.

“Any news about Xu Fan?”

“No, he’s in the Primordial Chaos Zone. To find out more, we’d have to ask the leader, and who knows if he’ll agree.”

“Given our situation, it seems Xu Fan is fine. He’s probably enjoying himself out there,” avatar number one remarked.

“Enjoying himself? More like searching for a way back.”

“Now that Xu Fan’s physical body is at the Hidden Spirit Sect, I’ll wait another five hundred thousand years. If his consciousness hasn’t returned by then, I’ll take over and unlock the system.”

“Either way, we both need to reach chaotic saint-level. Otherwise, life’s going to be tough,” avatar number two said, watching the battle outside the Three Thousand Realms.

“No other choice.”

“I’ll head back for now. Let me know if anything changes,” the Great Saint-level god or demon puppet said before its eyes turned blank again.

At that moment, a powerful surge of battle energy swept through, but it was blocked by the protective formation created by the four stars.

“If we don’t reach chaotic saint-level, dealing with enemies like this will be tough,” avatar number two remarked.

Outside the Three Thousand Realms, a massive Beast appeared beside Wang Yulun, radiating a bloodthirsty aura.

“With the human race’s current strength, the Underworld Clan should stop provoking us. Back off,” Wang Yulun said, glaring at the distant Underworld Clan.

“Back off? You’re dreaming. Hand over Xu Fan’s artifact crafting clone, or when our leader steps in, your human race will be wiped out,” the Chaotic Great Saint from the Underworld Clan said, eyeing Wang Yulun like he was prey.

Wang Yulun chuckled at the look.

“Go ahead, call your leader. Let them see what kind of strength the human race has—strength that even you two failures can’t handle.”

His tone was dripping with sarcasm.

The battle erupted once more.

Three days later, a blinding light flashed across the Chaotic Mist Area.

Where the Three Thousand Realms once stood, there was now only a void.

Outside the void, the two Chaotic Great Saints from the Underworld Clan wore grim expressions.

……

In the eggshell world, Xu Fan observed the situation outside while casually playing a game of chess.

“No need to stare so hard; I’ll let you know before it breaks,” said the Powerful Being from the Cloud God Clan, sounding like a seasoned driver watching a rookie behind the wheel.

“Back when my master first took me through the Primordial Chaos Zone, he used a method just like yours—directly simulating a Chaotic Mist Area to navigate through the unrefined zone.”

The Powerful Being from the Cloud God Clan seemed nostalgic, as if everything back then felt so new and exciting.

“So, how did your master figure out the direction in the Unrefined Chaotic Area?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“To find your way, you just need the coordinates of the opposite Chaotic Mist Area.”

“Usually, unless two Chaotic Mist Areas are right next to each other, even a Chaotic Great Saint would get lost without coordinates if there’s any significant distance between them,” the Powerful Being explained.

“You’ll only learn how to search for coordinates once you become a chaotic saint. As for getting you back, I’ll have you ride the Primordial Divine Turtle. There are other methods too, but I’ll explain those later.”

“Senior, do you know where the Primordial Divine Turtle comes from?” Xu Fan asked again.

“Not really. It seems these divine turtles existed even before the Chaotic Mist Areas were formed. They roam between major Chaotic Mist Areas, feeding on the chaos to transform it into the unrefined zones,” the Powerful Being replied.

Just then, a powerful aura erupted from the Holy Light Temple in a corner of the eggshell world.

“Senior, can we break through here?” Xu Fan asked.

“Absolutely not!” the Powerful Being said, casually waving his hand to disperse the momentum the Holy Light Girl had just gathered.

“You *can* summon calamity clouds to break through in the Primordial Chaos Zone, but it’ll only end in death.”

“I’ve been to many Chaotic Mist Areas, and there’s always some arrogant being trying to overcome tribulations in the unrefined zones.”

“But even the most extraordinary beings can’t survive the first thunder calamity in those areas,” the Powerful Being added with a hint of mockery.

“Thank you, Senior, for stepping in!” the Holy Light Girl said, her voice trembling.

“Since you juniors show me such respect, I’ll save your life,” the Powerful Being said with a smile.

“Enough chit-chat. Let’s get back to the game.”

“Once this match is over, I need to head to that Chaotic Mist Area. I’ve got a gathering to attend in another zone,” the Powerful Being said.

“Senior, when is your gathering? Is the schedule tight?”

“And what’s the time standard in this Primordial Chaos Zone?” Xu Fan asked, his curiosity unrelenting.

“There’s still some time—it starts in two Epochs.”

“As for time, once you become a Chaotic Great Saint and grasp the supreme law, you’ll vaguely sense the time standard of the Primordial Chaos Zone,” the Powerful Being explained, making his first move in the game.

“Thanks for the info, Senior,” Xu Fan said, picking up a chess piece to begin the match.

With only tens of thousands of years to spare, both sides played quickly.

Just as the Powerful Being was about to win, Xu Fan suddenly felt the eggshell world dissolve rapidly, and they found themselves in a vast Chaotic Mist Area.

“You’re in luck—this is a named Chaotic Mist Area. If I remember correctly, it’s called ‘Hui.’ I’ve passed through here before,” the Powerful Being said after sensing their surroundings.

A rectangular jade stone, shaped like a long brick, appeared before Xu Fan.

“This stone holds the route for your return home. If we meet again and you’re fortunate enough to reach our Chaotic Mist Area of the Clouds, remember my code name: Water,” the Powerful Being said hurriedly before vanishing.

Only Xu Fan and the Holy Light Girl remained, staring at each other in wide-eyed silence.
