Chapter 724: Master God of Chaos

Xiao Luo stepped into the Dimension of chaos, and it was dead quiet. There was no presence of life at all, and it was just a void of endless darkness. However, it was not so dark that Xiao Luo could not make out his own hands. Once his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could see all the surroundings within a four-meter radius rather vividly.

The terrain topography was relatively flat, and the temperature was cold enough to freeze water. Yet, the breath Xiao Luo exhaled did not form any mist.

Xiao Luo carefully advanced until he arrived at the main hall; a structure that was over ten feet tall. He did not know what material they had used to make it, but it was finished in black and produced a sheen. The enormous main entrance resembled the gaping mouth of a ferocious devil with fangs. It was intimidating. Upon closer inspection, the entire hall seemed to be built with the theme of a fierce monster, and it gave off an eerie vibe.

"This must be the temple of the Master God of Chaos that old grandfather mentioned to me."

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Luo looked inside. There was a dark tunnel that gave the impression it would draw one's soul into it simply by staring at it for a long time.

The entrance to the main hall was pitch dark, and Xiao Luo could even not spot a glimmer of light. He felt cold air blowing out from the inside, accompanied by a soft hissing sound.

Xiao Luo calmed himself. He focused his thoughts and visualized how the Light Clan must have taken Su Li through this tunnel, and passed through to the Arcana Land after they had left the dimension of chaos. With no further hesitation, he stepped into the hall and walked with long strides.

"Lowly human! How dare you take even half a step into this temple? I, the Lord your God, will burn you to ashes!"

Right at that moment, Xiao Luo heard an ominous voice coming from inside the temple. It echoed through the tunnel and reverberated with a dark menace.

The warning caught Xiao Luo by surprise, and he immediately stepped back. That forceful voice held tremendous sway over those who entered. It was a voice not to be trifled with, and whoever it was who spoke would not be less capable than Elder Long. With his hands folded respectfully, Xiao Luo bowed and greeted, "Senior, are you the Master God of Chaos? Your Junior Xiao Luo presents himself. I have something important to deal with and need to pass through to the Arcana Land. I hope you will permit me passage, Senior!"

"Do you know that nobody may travel between these two worlds? Your action will break the balance of both worlds. As the Master God of Chaos, my job is to prevent something like that from happening. Leave. Go back to where you came from and forget about entering the Arcana Land!" The authoritative voice echoed through the dark space.

Xiao Luo would not give up that easily. With his hands folded, he bowed again. He repeated, "Senior, I have something important to do and have to enter the Arcana Land. I hope you will let me through, Senior!"

"Human, are you trying to make me angry? Would you believe that Master God of Chaos will destroy you in body and spirit?" The voice roared, and it seemed like Master God of Chaos was riled up.

"Senior, I believe you. But I have an urgent need to go there."

Xiao Luo bowed his head. He did not hesitate further and passed through the entrance of the main hall. Xiao Luo found himself in a long paved passageway that resembled a catacomb under a great tomb. It was chilly, and the visibility was poor; even lower than the dark tunnel he came from. But Xiao Luo could use his Divine Consciousness to feel the lay of the terrain and had already formed a rough image of the passageway in his mind.

"Human, you have courage. I respect that, and I'm willing to spare your life if you retreat now. Otherwise, not even the nine Gods and Buddha can save you!" threatened the Master God of Chaos.

Xiao Luo ignored him. The Master God of Chaos had refused to show himself, and Xiao Luo wondered what the reason was. What if he was bluffing and did not have what it took to show himself? Otherwise, wouldn't he be taking some action instead of vocalizing his threats? Of course, it was only a hunch. Even if it was not the case, Xiao Luo still intended to enter the hall. He did not care if a mountain of swords and a sea of flames awaited him.

"Humph… you're asking for it! Do not blame me when I incinerate your body and spirit, you lowly human!" scowled the Master God of Chaos, breaking out in a sinister laugh.

Xiao Luo instinctively held onto his Dragon Blade tightly and made sure he had his guard up.

"Death pit!"

The voice of the Master God of Chaos boomed once again. As soon as he spoke those words, the ground beneath Xiao Luo collapsed into a pit. It was filled with a great number of stakes that were as sharp as swords and pointed upwards. If he fell into that pit, those stakes would surely pierce through him.

But Xiao Luo could levitate, and he hovered into the air. This kind of trap posed no threat to him at all.

He furrowed his brows and looked at all the stakes fixed on the floor of the pit. He could not help but wonder if this was one of the Master God of Chaos' tricks. Was he not stooping a little too low?

The Master God of Chaos seemed caught in an awkward spot. He remained uncomfortably silent for a moment before he coughed a little and said, "Cough, cough… this is just the appetizer. Do not be so cocky, human. The Lord, your God, will make sure you turn to ashes!"

"Endless fire!"

Suddenly, the temperature rose drastically as an intense flame surged within the passageway like hellfire. It appeared from nowhere and lit up the dark passage instantly.

The temperature of that fire was exceedingly high and posed a bit of a threat to Xiao Luo!

But it wasn't too great a threat to Xiao Luo who hovered in the air with his legs crossed in a lotus position and used his True Inner Force to create an invisible protective barrier. Flames roared and engulfed the bubble, but did not injure him. He held up resolutely like a firm rock in a turbulent sea, and the torrent of hellfire could do him no harm.

"Human being, you are quite impressive. Now, face my level ten flames!"

The Master God of Chaos roared, and in an instant, the intensity of the flames increased significantly. Like an angry beast roaring angrily, the temperature rose to more than a thousand degrees.

The intense heat gradually overcame Xiao Luo's protective bubble, and his clothes were scorched and fell off in charred pieces. Soon, even his skin reddened and nasty blisters formed.

"Human, do you still want to go to Arcana Land? The Lord, your God, here cares for all living things. If you promise to leave now and return to your original world, I will stop the flames and spare your life!" said Master God of Chaos.

"I'm sorry, Senior. But I have to go to Arcana Land!"

Xiao Luo gritted his teeth and endured the intense heat in high temperatures that could smelt steel. His flesh was by now severely traumatized, and it oozed blood and hyaline tissues. Still, this pain was nothing compared to what he had suffered in the Prison of Heaven and Earth.

"Alright then, you shall burn to ashes!" roared the Master God of Chaos.

The fiery flames surged in an endless sea of fire toward Xiao Luo. But at that moment, the Dragon Blade quivered and soared into the air on its own. It started twirling at great speed and drew the flames in the passageway. As the flames rushed toward it, and the Dragon Blade devoured it all like a famished monster.

The blade consumed everything no matter how intense the flames were, and after it put out the flames, the passage suddenly returned to its peaceful condition.

The Dragon Blade spun in the air before it returned to Xiao Luo, then quivered slightly as if it were burping, before it settled in his hands.

"You can even consume flames?"

Xiao Luo gawked at the Dragon Blade in disbelief as it emitted a devilish blood-red glow. It was indeed a precious sword and had the consciousness to protect its owner in dire situations.

As if acknowledging Xiao Luo's admiration and gratitude, the Dragon Blade buzzed and quivered for a little.
