A boundless light flashed in the Spiritual World of the World Tree. This was a space where no life could infringe in, so an Outsider had been sealed here. Unexpectedly, another person entered this space and slaughtered the Outsider on his path. Yet, the Outsider’s death brought a greater calamity…

Heifeng Jiansui immediately realized what the boundless light was capable of. It was destiny of the Mahasura, capable of killing gods and demons like chickens, the destiny of bringing an Eternal World to Samsara. Of course, its descent near the World Tree of the Nineorigin chaosworld would be catastrophic!

Long back in the beginning of the era, Heifeng Jiansui sacrificed everything to save the Chaosworld from Nakshatra Shivaputra. Back then, Heifeng Jiansui’s essence, spirit and energy was used as the foundation for the Chaosworld’s rebirth. Thus, he had some power over the Hevenly Dao. By forming a master-disciple relationship with Nineorigin, the power of control rose!

Immediately, Heifeng Jiansui exerted control over the Heavenly Dao to ignore the boundless light. At his sudden command, the Heavenly Dao rebelled by bringing down tribulation lightning, but Heifeng Jiansui had already facilitated it in his plan.

A red mass was severed from Heifeng Jiansui’s body by the lightning!

The bolt of tribulation lightning only severed some part of Heifeng Jiansui’s essence, energy and spirit while taking the entire inheritance from Nakshatra Shivaputra, the memories, godblood and bloodline with it.

All these severed parts were living but not truly alive. But all this would change with the descent of the boundless light!

The falling light fused with the red mass, infusing life essence into it. This was the transformation of life essence into an avatar! Slowly and steadily, a newborn body began forming from the light.

The avatar had long black hair and steely white skin. There were two eyes that were gray with red pupils. Between them, there was a cavity from which a third eye would form. The entire body was marked with tens of thousands of blood red runes of desolation and entropy. The facial features were handsome, but the evil light from its innate disposition lent the avatar the aura of cruelty.

As he stretched the avatar’s body, Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help but feel satisfaction. It did not contain the three forces of essence, energy and spirit that were cultivated in the Nineorigin Chaosworld. Instead, it was capable of refining their three counterparts in the Chaturdasha-loka: Soma, Prana and Teja!

Soma was the essence of the physical body, gathering in the heart like a golden wine!

Prana was the essence of energy, gathering in the seven Chakras forming a rising tower!

Teja was the essence of the divine soul, the fiery light emitting as a halo on the crown!

The three came together to form a cultivation system that allowed the ascension of a mortal to a deity! They were steps that gathered divine power of faith and compressed them into a point!

Heifeng Jiansui had inherited even the faith energy from Nakshatra Shivaputra. It totaled to 3.6 million years of prayers. The destruction of Shiva’s soulshard allowed him to reap 2 million years of faith. But surpassing them all was the boundless light that formed the avatar!

The boundless light was an endless spring of faith energy, true to its inheritance of the destroyer of an era. If Heifeng Jiansui had not battled Shiva and devoured his soulshard, he would struggle to gather even a fraction of this spring.

But Heifeng Jiansui did swallow his soulshard, and from it comprehended a path of gathering from this spring! The cavity between the eyes sunk in, and a third eye formed, shining like an crescent moon. Chandrabhashmambakam, Moon Ash Eye, the divine ability of Shiva to swallow all energy from faith and prayers!

The boundless light was drawn into the third eye that shone like the crescent moon. The amount of faith energy gathering swiftly rose to 10 million years worth, and did not stop rising!

15 million… 25 million… 50 million… 100 million… 250 million… 500 million and finally, 1000 million, a billion! When the boundless light disappeared, Heifeng Jiansui had absorbed more faith than even a deity might possess with a mortal avatar!

“That Nakshatra, she would fall into endless regret if she came to know that she had handed me this much faith!” Heifeng Jiansui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry now. If it were a million years or so worth of faith, he could hand it over to Nineorigin. But the amount he now possessed as a mortal… it would be hard to move now.

“Well, it looks like the awakening of destiny is complete. I am now the Mahasura, the King of Asuras!” Heifeng Jiansui roared out.

The godblood of Shiva and the bloodline of the King of Asuras came together to form a heaven swallowing demon! This was the Mahasura Avatar, a being fated to slaughter divinity like grass!

“Well, I don’t need to suppress the Heavenly Dao’s actions anymore. Avatar, return to the true body!” With a stream of light, the avatar returned to the form of a red point and entered Heifeng Jiansui’s body. It now floated in the sea of energy in his dantian.

“This avatar is incompatible with the Nineorigin Chaosworld’s system of cultivation and might even be flagged as an Outsider! I will have to request the Supreme Couple to form a continent for me near the outskirts of the Heavenly Dao!” The Mahasura Avatar was an Outsider and a weak mortal, all it was capable of was cultivating. But when it reached a sufficient level of power, he could send it through the starry skies outside of the Chaosworld, exploring myriad worlds!

“Now, it is time for me to finish my original purpose… Damn, I ended up using the World Sprouts pretty quickly, huh?” Heifeng Jiansui sighed. He thought that facing a power that would battle with the power of a Perpetual Emperor would be very unlikely and he ended up facing Nakshatra the same day!

Heifeng Jiansui sat down to meditate once more before the World Tree. He spiritually connected himself to the World Tree which did not resist him. He could now sense the myriad Supreme Dao…

“As expected, the Nine Origin Supreme Daos are like stars forming a constellation. There are the four Supreme Dao of Life, Death, Nirvana and Desolate that were formed this era. In addition, there is the World Cycle of Chaos, Creation, Destruction and Void… Eh?! When was the Sword Dao elevated to the level of a Supreme Dao?” Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help his surprise. In addition to the Nine Origin Daos, there were nine more Supreme Daos!

After some thoughts, Heifeng Jiansui realized it was only natural. His Sword Dao had protected the forming Chaosworld and his chaoseed was swallowed by the World Spirit to attain sentience. The World Cycle must have originated from his chaoseed as well…

“Well, then… Oh World Tree, grant me a strand of your infinite might.” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui requested 18 World Sprouts from the Tree.

His connection to the Chaosworld was high and his mortal body was at the apex, but the chances of completely gathering 18 World Sprouts was unlikely. But Heifeng Jiansui wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t dare try in the first place!

18 branches shot out from the towering tree and pierced at 18 meridian openings of Heifeng Jiansui’s body. Heifeng Jiansui’s dantian would find it difficult to bear the World Sprouts, more so with the Mahasura avatar within. But the Black Phoenix Nine Dao was capable of weathering them, especially when their Supreme Daos aligned with the Nine Dao!

The 18 World Sprouts sunk into Heifeng Jiansui’s body. Entering and fusing into the structure of the Black Phoenix Nine Dao, they were perfectly absorbed into it! Before this, Heifeng Jiansui had absorbed the 12 Perennial Lord inheritances this way as well!

“…This was surprisingly easy. Well then, all my needs are fulfilled. Heavenly Dao, I request you to return me to the Nineyuan Heavenly Gate!” At Heifeng Jiansui’s request, the power of teleportation surrounded him. After what felt like a lifetime, he left the Spiritual World of the World Tree, returning to the true chaosworld.
