Chapter 121: A Pity!
[Raising Attainment of Chaos Path]
A shudder rippled through Ashen as the next surge of knowledge began pouring into his mind—this time, raw and untamed. The chaos was overwhelming, disorienting his senses. His mind was thrust into a maelstrom of destruction and creation, as though he were standing at the heart of the universe's birth and death.
The very fabric of reality unraveled before him—order shattered into disarray, only to reform in unpredictable patterns. He saw storms, cataclysms, and the collision of opposing forces. Flames, shadows, ice, and lightning—elements raged wildly, creating chaos without harmony.
More information about this primordial path began to get ingrained in his consciousness.
As he understood Chaos more, the more he understood how overpowered this path was.
Chaos gave birth to destruction and the one to command Chaos could command destruction itself.
With Chaos, any formation could be broken, any shield could be shattered and any will could be destroyed.
As the storm within him calmed, Ashen found himself with an unprecedented connection to the chaotic forces of the universe.
~
After the attainment of the four paths was raised to the master level successfully, Ashen opened his eyes.

"Chaos... Let me see it's effect" Ashen murmured as he raised his index finger, manifesting a black eerie qi that seemed to contain destruction itself.
However, as soon as he manifested Chaos,
Crackle!
Thunder began to rumble in the sky as it's sound reached Ashen's ears. Feeling a sense of danger, He went out to see what it was.
"W-What is going on?"
Ashen's eyes were wide open at the sight of the dark sky which was covered in clouds and it appeared as if a storm was brewing in the sky.
In the center of the storm, purple lightning continuously crackled with loud thunder.
Ashen could sense the enormous power this thunder contained.
It was no ordinary lightning and sensing this, he asked the system:
"System, what's going on here?"
[Ding! Host, The world doesn't approve of Chaos and hence, a tribulation is underway to eliminate the source of Chaos!]
"What??"
Ashen knew what it meant and the danger he was in.
"Then tell me how can I stop this tribulation?"
Ashen asked in a hurry since he knew that if that lightning struck him, he would perish.
[Ding! Host, It's simple. You just have to lock Chaos and never use it until you are powerful enough to face the tribulations]
Ashen nodded in understanding and with a sense of urgency. He knew that the lightning could strike him anytime.
Though it was a pity that he wouldn't be able to use Chaos, however, he wasn't dejected.
What benefit would he get by crying over spilled milk?
He already thought that Chaos was too overpowered after he gained master-level attainment in it.
Right now he had no choice other than to lock Chaos for the time being.
"Alright System, Lock Chaos!"
[Ding! As you command Host!]
[Placing a lock on the Chaos Qi]
Soon, Ashen felt as if Chaos qi was sucked into his core without any of it leaking out.
Crackle!
Lightning again rumbled in the sky, however, soon the lightning began to dissipate along with the clouds and the storm.
Ashen let out a sigh of relief before going back to his room.
"Sigh... Chaos can't be used now, what a pity"
Ashen sighed before moving on to his next course of action.
"I have 21 million Villain points left. Let's first advance to the king realm!"
"System, advance me to the king realm!"
[Ding! Host, It takes 3 million Villain Points to advance to the King Realm!]
[Ding! Deducting 3 million Villain Points]
Ashen sat in the lotus position and closed his eyes.
It was finally time to become the youngest King Realm cultivator.
The surrounding qi began to swirl around him, slowly forming a tornado of various qi around him.
From this tornado, Four Qi began to move towards Ashen.
These were the qi belonging to the four paths he cultivated.
These huge amounts of qi stormed his body, entering his core.
His core began to enlarge and condense at a high speed before it became double it's original size with double the density.
From this core, a single qi of a mixed color as of a rainbow appeared, however, this qi only contained of four colors instead of the seven rainbow colors.
This single qi escaped Ashen's body before colliding with his body as patterns began to get inscribed on the area where the qi collided. It was as if someone was using this mixed qi to tattoo these patterns on his body.
This process repeated itself for hours before his whole body was covered in these strange patterns.
Slowly, these patterns began getting invisible and the qi around him dissipated.
[Ding! Host, Congratulations on advancing to the King Realm!]
Hearing the system's notification, Ashen slowly opened his eyes as he relished in this new feeling.
He felt closer to the paths he was cultivating than ever before.
Those strange patterns were the dao patterns that helped in increasing the effect of the qi further.
It was due to these dao patterns that the King Realm experts had such power in their attacks.
The Dao Patterns amplified the power and speed of their specific path's attack.
Now Ashen was left with 18 million Villain Points and he knew where to spend these Villain Points.
I need skills of my paths to use this new strength that I have acquired. The skills I have right now are too low in level to be used at the king realm.
Thinking that he began to buy skills of the three paths remaining since he couldn't make use of Chaos right now.
