The martial artists of the mountains and seas might be bewildered, but the kings and nobles who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in a certain sense clearly knew how incredible this scene was.

According to ancient tradition, all things were born from chaos.

The first generation of chaotic beings, also known as the strongest beings in the world, belonged to the origin of the gods.

After them, no one else has been able to reach that level.

Even the ancient chaotic beasts that Shen Qian had encountered were actually much weaker than their progenitor.

However, there is a surprising fact here.

That is, whether it is Pangu who created the world or Nuwa who created many lives in legend, although they are powerful beings who came out of chaos, it does not mean that they have mastered the power of "chaos".

According to the deductions of many powerful figures, Nuwa or Pangu should be at the level of an emperor.

The reason they were able to create heaven and earth and create life was simply because they were born with the aura of chaos, and could borrow the power of chaos to a certain extent.

Borrowing and controlling are two completely different concepts.

The Chaos Beasts contain Chaos Qi, which is the foundation of their power. However, they are unable to unleash the full potential of Chaos Qi. Otherwise, how could the Buddha have fought eight Chaos Beasts alone and easily killed them?

Unfortunately, despite the Buddha's immense power, his countless attempts to merge with the power of chaos all ended in failure.

Neither the myriad races nor the human race had ever heard of any being that could control "chaos." Yet, at this moment, these kings and nobles truly sensed the aura of chaos on Shen Qian's body.

An incredibly dense aura of chaos!

It wasn't just a trace that the Prince of Jiangling had ever come into contact with, but an entire area.

Since the previous sinking clearly wasn't born from chaos, only one possibility remains...

He actually mastered the power of chaos!

The "black hole" that Zhaoyuan Hou transformed into had already frozen the moment the chaotic aura emanating from Shen Qian's body began to dissipate.

Black holes can dissolve everything, but they cannot dissolve "chaos".

Because chaos is the origin of all living things, the beginning of heaven and earth, the ultimate end of the universe, and the source of the "Tao".

Without chaos, even a black hole itself could not exist, so how could it fight against chaos?

boom!

Enveloped in a gray aura, Shen Qian suddenly unleashed a punch from afar, and an endless torrent of energy burst forth from his body, directly engulfing the black hole ten thousand meters away.

A muffled groan echoed from high above. As the torrent of chaotic power swept over, the black hole vanished without a trace, leaving only the mangled body of Marquis Zhaoyuan Jun Buping in its place.

At this moment, Marquis Zhaoyuan looked terrible; almost no part of his body had intact skin, and his aura was extremely weak.

Originally, his "Return to One" divine power was not a technique that a king or noble could completely master; it was a move that could result in mutual destruction. Furthermore, it was countered by Shen Qian's Chaos Fist Technique, which only exacerbated his injuries, so his condition was naturally at its worst.

However, Marquis Zhaoyuan didn't care at all, and just stared blankly at Shen Qian.

Like all other kings and nobles, Marquis Zhaoyuan was also shocked by this impossible power.

Moreover, his experience was far more direct than that of other kings and nobles, because his body had been truly crushed by the power of chaos.

Even now, Marquis Zhaoyuan could feel a trace of violent power remaining within his body, relentlessly extinguishing his life force in an irreversible and indelible way.

This is the dark side of the power of chaos, the ultimate rule of "complete annihilation".

"What a pity..."

Marquis Zhaoyuan gave a desolate laugh, "If I can survive, perhaps..."

Perhaps the Marquis of Zhaoyuan didn't say it, but all the kings and nobles present understood the unspoken meaning behind his words.

Those who rise to the rank of king or nobleman are all exceptionally gifted.

If they truly had readily available chaotic power to comprehend, achieving the status of a Martial King, or even breaking through to the Great Emperor level, would not be a pipe dream.

There's no such thing as "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." If you've truly witnessed that unparalleled scenery, how could you be content with just looking at it?

Rumble!

A strange noise suddenly came from the unknown high sky, followed by an old, cold shout, "Lord Liegu, what do you want to do?"

All those present were stunned for a moment, then reacted. Although they couldn't understand what Zhaoyuan Hou was saying, nor did they know what the terrifying yet inexplicably desirable power that Shen Qian had just used was, there was one thing they were absolutely certain of.

Marquis Zhaoyuan has been defeated, and it was a crushing defeat!

He was extremely weak, while Shen Qian's aura remained strong.

This means that the confrontation just now not only determined a winner and a loser, but also a matter of life and death.

It seems that some powerful figures among the kings and nobles could no longer sit still and wanted to save Zhaoyuan Hou, but they were stopped by other kings and nobles just as they were about to make a move.

"Damn it! It's our unspoken agreement not to interfere in this battle. What are you trying to do?!"

Just then, another unfamiliar angry shout rang out, and the strange noises in the sky grew even more intense.

The heavens and earth shook, as if some invisible force was trying to break into the dimensional battlefield. Upon seeing this, Shen Qian's expression turned cold. He knew that in addition to Lie Gu Hou, there were other kings and marquises who were trying to make a move. Without any further hesitation, he disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

"No!"

Marquis Zhaoyuan had a premonition of something. He thought that with his mindset, he had long since seen through life and death. However, when the moment actually came, he was still filled with fear from the depths of his soul. For a moment, Marquis Zhaoyuan roared in despair and anger.

He had faced death countless times for the human race, and he had been to the darkest purgatory. Why should he... die at the hands of a young junior!
