The Primordial Chaos Sovereign

The Awakening of the Rebel

Darkness.

Endless darkness.

Armstrong felt as though he was sinking into a bottomless abyss.

His body burned endlessly while strange power coursed through every inch of his flesh. Countless images flashed within his mind.

A gigantic ape tearing apart the heavens.

Celestial chains shattering.

God-like beings falling from the sky.

A roar powerful enough to shake worlds.

Then,

Silence.

One month earlier.

The underground chamber beneath the mercenary guild had already been reduced to ruins.

The frozen altar was gone completely.

The terrifying ice Laws protecting the chamber had completely collapsed effortlessly.

At the center of the destruction lay Armstrong.

Unconscious.

Even while asleep, a terrifying pressure leaked from his body continuously.

Briana stood nearby quietly.

Her blue eyes remained fixed on him for a very long time without blinking.

The events of that night still felt unreal to her.

The Heaven Breaker Ape bloodline…

A Grade Twenty-Two Sovereign Primordial Bloodline…

Had willingly fused with him.

No.

Devoured by him.

Even now, faint crimson-gold patterns occasionally appeared across Armstrong’s skin before fading away again. Every time it happened, the surrounding spiritual energy became chaotic.

The Laws of the world themselves seemed disturbed by his existence.

Briana slowly sat beside him.

Her gaze fell toward the mark beneath his heart.

One seal had already broken completely.

Two remained.

Yet the aura leaking from that single unsealed portion already made her feel uneasy.

“What exactly are you…?”

She whispered softly.

Suddenly,

Boom!

A terrifying pressure descended from the heavens upon them.

Briana’s expression changed instantly.

She disappeared from the underground chamber and reappeared outside the guild.

Far above the skies, countless streams of light crossed the heavens.

Experts.

Powerful experts.

And not just from the Solartin Empire.

The entire Southern Domain had become restless.

The awakening of the Heaven Breaker Ape bloodline had been sensed by countless terrifying existences.

And among them…

…the Crimson Emperor.

Briana’s expression darkened.

“He found out…”

For the next month, chaos spread across the Southern Domain.

Imperial troops searched countless cities.

Ancient sects sent spies everywhere.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

“A primordial inheritance has appeared!”

“A heaven-defying bloodline awakened!”

“The Crimson Emperor himself is

searching personally!”

The entire Southern Domain became turbulent.

Briana became more and more anxious with each passing day.

Several times, she even considered abandoning the guild entirely and fleeing immediately.

But Armstrong still had not awakened.

And she could not leave him behind.

One month later.

Morning sunlight entered the hidden chamber quietly. Armstrong’s fingers suddenly twitched slightly.

Briana, who had been cultivating nearby, instantly opened her eyes.

“He’s awake?” She asked quietly

A powerful aura burst from Armstrong’s body suddenly.

BOOM!

The entire room trembled violently.

Briana’s eyes widened slightly.

His aura…

…it was completely different.

Armstrong slowly opened his eyes.

Crimson-gold light flickered briefly within them before disappearing.

The moment he sat up, his muscles tightened naturally beneath his clothes. His body had become far more refined and powerful than before.

Every movement carried explosive force. Even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed attracted toward him instinctively.

Armstrong lowered his head slowly and stared at his own hands.

“What…”

His voice stopped midway.

Even his voice had become deeper and more imposing. He clenched his fist lightly.

BOOM!

The air exploded instantly.

Armstrong froze.

“What the hell is wrong with me?!”

Briana stared at him silently for a moment before sighing softly.

“You finally woke up after that long sleep.”

Armstrong looked toward her.

Then his expression changed slightly.

Briana was staring directly at him.

More specifically…

At his face.

Armstrong blinked.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

Briana immediately looked away coldly.

“I wasn’t.”

“…You were.”

“I said I wasn’t.”

But inwardly, even she felt slightly embarrassed. The current Armstrong looked completely different from before.

His facial features had become sharper and more defined.

His body carried a natural oppressive aura.

And most dangerously…

There was now a wild dominance around him that unconsciously drew attention. It was as though the bloodline of the Heaven Breaker Ape had partially reshaped him into a higher lifeform.

Even Briana had unconsciously stared at him for several moments earlier.

Armstrong stood up slowly.

The moment he did,

Crack.

The floor beneath his feet shattered instantly.

His eyes widened.

“I barely used strength…”

Briana’s expression became serious again.

“That’s because your body has already surpassed your previous limits completely. You are not the same like you used to be.”

She walked toward him slowly.

“After refining the Heaven Breaker Ape bloodline and unsealing your first seal, your Body Cultivation advanced directly into the Sixth Realm.”

Armstrong’s eyes widened.

“The Meridian Awakening Realm?”

Briana nodded.

“And your Qi Cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm which is the Fifth Realm of Qi Cultivation.” She explained to him

Armstrong became stunned.

He had skipped multiple stages entirely.

Briana continued calmly.

“Your body is no longer comparable to ordinary cultivators. You’re now walking both the Body and Qi cultivation paths simultaneously.”

Armstrong lowered his head silently.

He could feel it clearly.

His blood.

His bones.

His muscles.

Everything had changed.

He felt overwhelmingly powerful.

Yet at the same time…

Dangerous.

Briana’s voice suddenly became colder.

“You were unconscious for one month.”

Armstrong looked up instantly.

“One month?!”

Briana nodded.

“And during that month, the entire Southern Domain went mad searching for you.”

Her eyes narrowed.

“The Emperor sensed your awakening.”

Armstrong’s expression darkened instantly.

“So he knows…”

“He doesn’t know who you are yet,” Briana interrupted.

“But he knows something beyond the system has appeared.”

She turned toward the distant horizon.

“And he will never stop searching.”

Silence filled the room.

Armstrong clenched his fists tightly.

“So what now?”

Briana remained quiet briefly before speaking.

“You must leave the Southern Domain effective immediately.”

Armstrong frowned.

“Leave? What do you mean by that?”

“The Southern Domain is no longer safe for you.”

Her voice became serious.

“The Crimson Emperor controls this Domain completely. The longer you remain here, the greater the chances he finds you.”

Briana waved her hand lightly.

A silver-blue seal appeared in her palm.

It radiated ancient feminine aura.

At its center was a snow lotus symbol.

Armstrong could immediately sense immense authority from it.

“This…”

“…is the Divine Maiden Palace Sect Leader’s Seal.”

Armstrong stared at it.

“My master entrusted it to me before her death.”

Her eyes became slightly distant.

“It is proof of authority belonging to the Divine Maiden Palace. Only the Sect Leader can hold it.”

She placed the seal into Armstrong’s hand.

The moment he touched it, cold spiritual energy flowed into his body.

“You must go to the Central Domain.”

Armstrong frowned slightly.

“The Central Domain?”

Briana nodded.

“There exists a place there called the Celestial Maiden Palace. It is the Main Branch of our Divine Maiden Palace.”

Her expression became complicated.

“When our branch was destroyed by the Crimson Emperor, we lost all contact with them.”

She looked directly into Armstrong’s eyes.

“When you arrive there, give them this seal. Tell them you are the Young Master of the destroyed Divine Maiden Palace branch. And that you seek refuge.” She said to him.

Armstrong blinked several times.

“Young Master of your Divine Maiden Palace?”

Briana nodded calmly.

“You inherited my master’s legacy indirectly and that makes you qualified.”

Armstrong rubbed his forehead slightly.

Everything was happening too fast.

A month ago, he was merely training under Briana.

Now?

The Emperor of the Southern Domain was hunting him personally.

And he was apparently about to flee to another Domain carrying the inheritance seal of a destroyed sect.

“…This is totally insane.”

Briana actually smiled slightly.

“You’re only realizing that now?” She asked

Armstrong sighed deeply. Then he looked down at the seal in his hand again.

Despite his confusion…

…he could feel the seriousness behind Briana’s eyes. This was not a suggestion.

It was necessary.

He slowly clenched the seal tightly.

“Alright.”

“I’ll go.”

Briana nodded quietly.

But inwardly, worry still remained within her heart. Because she knew something Armstrong did not.

The moment his first seal broke…

The world itself had already begun noticing him. And from this point onward, his journey would no longer be hidden.

Somewhere far away, terrifying ancient beings had already begun moving.

The hunt…

…had only just begun.
