"Okay."
The five looked at each other and agreed.
Dao Master Qiansi said, "Chen Fan, I won't hold you accountable for the matters of the Qiansi Dao Arena for now. You can deal with these two avatars. I hope you keep your word."
"Of course."
"So..."
Boom.
Chen Fan struck directly.
His long sword swept out, taking the avatar of the Dao of Life and Death.
The others did not stop him.
Seeing this, Ping Xi also acted quickly, taking the avatar of the Dao of Yin and Yang.
Boom.
Both of them chose their opponents and struck.
In front of the Order Heavenly Tome, there were no more obstructions.
"Seize it."
The Golden Daoist was closest to the Order Heavenly Tome.
Seeing this, he attacked without hesitation.
"Scram."
The Divine Fist of Light erupted, sending the Golden Daoist flying with a punch.
"You..."
"You are not qualified."
The Lord of Light's gaze was cold as he rapidly charged towards the Order Heavenly Tome.
"Kill."
Qiansi, Wuxing, and Huan Zong attacked simultaneously.
At this moment, cooperation was out the window.
It could all go to hell.
A free-for-all began.
Rumble.
The five instantly descended into a chaotic battle.
"Hahaha."
Chen Fan laughed heartily, "It's just as I expected."
In the distance, Ping Xi was struggling against the avatar of the Dao of Yin and Yang. "Is this all your plan?"
"Partly," Chen Fan replied.
He had indeed had this idea before he came.
He hadn't expected it to succeed so easily.
When the Order Heavenly Tome was right in front of them, the five had no basis for cooperation.
Besides himself, no one wanted to see another person obtain the Order Heavenly Tome.
Bang.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fan was sent flying. "Damn it, they're so strong."
He cursed and re-engaged the avatar of the Dao of Yin and Yang.
"Chen Fan."
Ping Xi stubbornly blocked the attack from the Yin Yang avatar. "These two avatars are too strong. I can't handle them."
I can't handle them either... Chen Fan mused internally.
However, he had another plan. He smiled and said, "There's no need to fight to the death, nor is there any need to rush to capture the avatars. Just entangle them. Let's wait for the result over there first."
"Huh?"
What did he mean?
The Lord of Yin and Yang didn't understand.
"I won't explain why," Chen Fan quickly transmitted, "As long as we hold on, something good should happen."
"..."
The Lord of Yin and Yang indeed fell silent.
She wanted to see what would happen.
...
The battlefield for the Order Heavenly Tome.
Chirp.
The Three Thousand Troublesome Silks transformed into a river of the Great Dao, piercing into the internal space of the Order Heavenly Tome.
Dense strands of silk directly ensnared the Order Heavenly Tome.
"Buzz."
A powerful force of order directly repelled the silk threads.
This situation did not discourage Dao Master Qiansi; instead, a look of excitement appeared in her eyes.
"The power of order is still here," Qiansi said excitedly.
This was the first time anyone had truly touched the Order Heavenly Tome since the beginning.
Boom.
A fiery great star shattered the Three Thousand Troublesome Silks.
The great star transformed, revealing the figure of the Lord of Wuxing, who grabbed the Order Heavenly Tome.
Dense power of order surged into his body, rapidly altering the Wuxing rules within him.
The Lord of Wuxing did not resist; he allowed the power of the Order Heavenly Tome to flood into him.
Boom.
In the next moment, his aura began to grow.
The power of order.
"Let go."
Huan Zong, the Lord of Light, the Golden Daoist, and Dao Master Qiansi attacked in unison.
The Lord of Wuxing's expression changed, but he gritted his teeth and refused to release his grip.
Buzz.
Within his body, order continued to construct the Wuxing rules.
He was unwilling to let go.
As long as the rules could be rebuilt, his combat power would instantly skyrocket to a terrifying level.
The Order Heavenly Tome, an Imperial Weapon forged with the lifelong effort of the Lord of Order, built the Great Dao rules with order – this was its greatest function.
Unfortunately...
Boom.
The four joined forces, and the Lord of Wuxing could not withstand it.
His body was sent flying.
Simultaneously, the Order Heavenly Tome flew wildly.
Whoosh.
Huan Zong, moving at incredible speed, snatched the Order Heavenly Tome.
Order began to surge into his body.
At this moment, the Lord of Light became the target of the other four again.
Whoever obtained it would be collectively attacked by the other four.
In just a moment, the Order Heavenly Tome had changed hands five times.
"So exhilarating."
The Golden Daoist was the last to hold the Order Heavenly Tome.
Even though he was sent flying again, he was still extremely excited, his eyes filled with boundless ecstasy. "Is this the power of order? In just a moment, it has refined my Golden Dao by one tenth, and my combat power has increased by one tenth."
The initial Great Dao was chaotic.
After cultivators incorporated the Great Dao into their bodies, it would operate according to their own rules, which was also a form of order.
Later, the Lord of Order emerged, rising strongly with a more powerful method of operation.
This method of operation was named 'Order' by him.
Operating according to order would maximize the development of the Great Dao's power, achieving maximum utilization.
"Kill."
The five were almost in a frenzy.
Their attacks became increasingly ferocious.
The Order Heavenly Tome circulated among the five once more.
However, none of them noticed that the power of order was not only rebuilding the operational methods of their Great Dao but also reshaping their minds.
...
In the distance.
Ping Xi, who was fighting the avatar of the Dao of Yin and Yang, looked at the struggle of the five Ninth Rank cultivators.
Her brow suddenly furrowed. "Something feels wrong."
"Hush."
Chen Fan quickly signaled her to be quiet.
If this good thing were heard by the other party, what if they woke up?
Seeing Chen Fan's expression, Ping Xi knew he knew something. She transmitted, "What exactly is going on with them?"
"Heh."
Chen Fan did not hide anything from Ping Xi.
Glancing at the five attackers, he sneered, "The Lord of Order is not dead at all."
"What?"
Ping Xi was greatly shocked.
She had heard the name "Lord of Order" too many times.
The strongest existence in the history of Chaos, the supreme being who constructed the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, only by swearing in the name of Order could agreements be recognized by both parties.
This showed how famous the Lord of Order was in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Such an existence had been dead for millions of years.
Yet Chen Fan said he was not dead.
This news was too shocking.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan, as if not noticing Ping Xi's shock, sneered, "The soul of the Lord of Order is hidden within the Order Heavenly Tome. I even fought with the Lord of Order before and was almost possessed by him."
Ping Xi's eyes nearly bulged out of her head. "You escaped from the Lord of Order?"
"Mm."
Under Ping Xi's increasingly shocked gaze, Chen Fan nodded.
How he escaped was not worth mentioning.
He then explained further, "The Lord of Order was severely injured twice by the Lord of Thunder and me. He should be very weak now. This struggle among these five has given the Lord of Order an opportunity. He is likely rebuilding the souls of these five."
"Once successful, it will be the time for the Lord of Order to emerge."
Every word Chen Fan spoke sent tremors through Ping Xi's mind.
