“I choose the 《Dragon Walking Chaos Tablet》.”
“I choose the 《Wind Shadow Chaos Tablet》.”
The black-robed envoy continued walking inwards from the outermost part of the corridor, asking each genius about their choice. Meanwhile, Luo Feng, among the crowd at the back, frowned as his gaze swept across the 52 paintings.
To be honest, he had felt quite drawn to and easily immersed in 38 of the 52 paintings, including the 《Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet》. Although the 《Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet》 could also immerse him in it, its path was ultimately one of extremely complex transformations…
“Which one suits me best?”
Luo Feng looked at a painting in the distance on his left, then at another painting beside him on his right. The one in the distance was the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》, which he had liked the most earlier, while the one beside him was the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》 he had viewed last.
When Luo Feng had watched the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》, he had felt a kind of excitement from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》 was extremely suitable for using the Yan Shen Weapon. With slight modifications, it could also be used to comprehend close combat secret techniques.
As for the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》, when Luo Feng looked at it…
One set of blade techniques after another vaguely emerged in his mind. Those 10,081 blade marks could be said to embody the ultimate essence of blade techniques.
“Which one should I choose?” Luo Feng frowned.
He wanted to cultivate both.
The 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》 was more suitable for the Yan Shen Weapon, while the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》 was more suitable for blade techniques. Of course, his current strength was still weak. He had only seen a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the incomparably profound paths contained within these two Chaos Tablets. One had to know that all 52 Chaos Tablets led towards the ultimate peak.
In theory, every Chaos Tablet could be used to comprehend close combat techniques or long-range techniques.
“Here he comes.”
Luo Feng turned his head and looked over.
The black-robed envoy had already recorded the choices of more than 700 people and had reached Luo Feng’s side. He looked up at Luo Feng.
“Which one do you choose?” the black-robed envoy asked.
“I choose the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》,” Luo Feng said seriously.
The black-robed envoy nodded. The screen on his arm instantly recorded it, after which he asked the person beside Luo Feng…
“Although I like both the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》 and the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》 the most, and my close combat ability improves quickly, my strongest ability is undoubtedly long-range combat! My current improvement in close combat is merely the result of the Moshajiu Clan *** cultivating the 《Shadow Codex》. A true powerhouse does not need to be strong in everything. If one is strong in everything, it means that one is not truly strong in any particular area.”
Strengthen one’s advantages!
Continuously strengthen one’s strengths until they become absolute advantages! That was the way of a true powerhouse.
“Moreover, the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》 begins with an introduction to the great path of the Origin Law of Gold. The 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》, however, begins with the Origin Law of Space.”
Among the many Origin Laws, there was no doubt that ‘time’ and ‘space’ were the two strongest. If he was going to choose, he should choose the stronger one.
After the black-robed envoy reached the end of the corridor and finished recording everyone’s choices, he turned around and smiled.
“I have sent out your choices. Follow me.”
Luo Feng and the other 1,000 people followed the black-robed envoy out of the corridor and continued deeper into the City Lord’s Mansion. After a moment, they arrived at an empty cultivation ground within the City Lord’s Mansion.
The cultivation ground was extremely vast, dozens of kilometres long and wide. An ordinary person on Earth would not be able to see the end of it at a glance, but Luo Feng and the others could naturally see it clearly.
In the spacious cultivation ground.
The 1,000 people gathered together, while the black-robed envoy stood before them.
“Among the 52 Chaos Tablet comprehension chambers, 12 currently have people inside. The other 40 chambers are empty.” The black-robed envoy looked at the group before him. “Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Tablets…”
“The 《Yan Mountain Chaos Tablet》, the 《Heart Mark Chaos Tablet》…” The black-robed envoy rapidly announced the names of all 40 Chaos Tablets in one breath.
“Those who chose these 40 Chaos Tablets, go directly to the entrance on the far left ahead. You will be assigned to the respective chambers.” The black-robed envoy pointed into the distance. At the far end of the cultivation ground, on the left, there was an entrance nearly 30 metres tall. “You can go over now.”
Immediately, at least 800 of the 1,000 young people transformed into streams of light and left. Only a little over 100 young people remained in the cultivation ground.
“The 139 of you, wait here for now,” the black-robed envoy said. “The Chaos Tablets you chose are currently being comprehended by others. When someone is comprehending a Chaos Tablet, it is absolutely forbidden to open the chamber and disturb them. So… once their comprehension session ends, you can enter. The longest any of you 139 will have to wait is only three days.”
“Go up to the City Lord’s Mansion’s city tower first.” The black-robed envoy pointed ahead. “You can cultivate there for now. When it is your turn, I will notify you.”
……
Luo Feng, Wild Man Rong Jun and the other 139 young men and women could only head towards the city tower of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Really unlucky.”
“There are 52 Chaos Tablets, and only 12 currently have people comprehending them, yet we happened to be the ones affected.”
As they walked, the hundred or so young people were somewhat helpless. Wild Man Rong Jun looked at Luo Feng and laughed.
“Luo Feng, you and I really are kindred spirits in misfortune. We entered the top ten together, both fell during the battle for the top five, and even when choosing our Chaos Tablets, we happened to encounter someone already comprehending them.”
“Hmm.” Luo Feng nodded and then asked, “What did you choose?”
“Me? The 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》,” Wild Man Rong Jun said.
“Rong Jun, I also chose the 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》.”
The Manka Star youth ‘Uka’, who had been talking with the others, immediately called out. He ran over and lowered his voice.
“Luo Feng, Rong Jun, do you know who left behind the 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》?”
Every Chaos Tablet had been left behind by a truly supreme existence in the history of humanity.
The 52 Chaos Tablets had become treasures of humanity.
“Who?” Rong Jun asked.
“Could it have something to do with the Giant Axe Battle Arena?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred as he asked.
“Exactly!” Uka nodded repeatedly and whispered, “The 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》 was left behind by the founder of one of the five major powers, the ‘Giant Axe Battle Arena’. It contains unimaginable power. Once you completely comprehend it, that would be… simply heaven-defying! You would become one of the very strongest existences in the entire universe.”
“The founder of the Giant Axe Battle Arena?” Luo Feng and Rong Jun looked at each other.
Good heavens.
One of the five great human powers in the universe!
If one wanted to rank the five great powers in terms of strength, one could actually see the difference from a small matter. Among the 1,008 universe nations of humanity, the Genius Battles were held twice every 10,000 years. One was organised by the Virtual Universe Company, and the other by the Giant Axe Battle Arena. The most outstanding geniuses were selected by these two powers, while the Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank and Universe Mercenary Alliance did not do the same.
Which of the five great powers was stronger?
The Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Battle Arena naturally had a slight advantage!
As the founder of the Giant Axe Battle Arena, his status was also far above that of the 1,008 universe nation leaders.
“Hehe, that’s why I chose the 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》,” Uka said proudly. “Moreover, among the World Lords and Immortals, the 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》 is also the most popular choice.”
“Haha.” Rong Jun laughed.
Luo Feng curled his lips.
“Of course, none of the other 52 Chaos Tablets are ordinary. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to stand alongside the 《Giant Axe Chaos Tablet》.” Uka comforted Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, seriously comprehend the 《Nine Universe Chaos Tablet》. You still have great prospects.”
As he spoke, Uka suddenly covered his stomach and began laughing mischievously.
“You guy.” Luo Feng shook his head.
……
On the city tower of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Luo Feng and the other hundred or so people stood on the city tower, looking into the distance.
It was enormous.
Chaos City itself was extremely vast. As for the distant area outside Chaos City, it was already covered in a hazy mass of chaos and could not be seen clearly.
The main reason was that there were large amounts of chaotic airflow throughout the Initial Universe, making it impossible to see too far into the distance.
“It feels really comfortable.”
“The Initial Universe is so much more comfortable than the Original Universe.”
The group of young people chatted among themselves.
Luo Feng also felt that after arriving in the Initial Universe, his entire body felt incomparably comfortable. From the inside out, from his spirit to his body, everything felt extremely relaxed.
“This is because of the Initial Universe.”
A middle-aged man wearing a loose purple-gold robe walked over from the distance.
“You are the latest group of winners from the Virtual Universe Company’s Genius Battle?”
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng and the other 139 people all nodded.
“The reason you feel so comfortable is because of this!”
The middle-aged man pointed at the chaotic airflow drifting past beside them.
“This has been named ‘chaotic airflow’ by us. Unlike the various attribute-based universe energies in the Original Universe, and also somewhat different from that unified Origin Universe energy, chaotic airflow is a strange force capable of nurturing all things.”
“Surrounded by chaotic airflow, of course you will feel comfortable,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Luo Feng and the others suddenly understood.
“However, this kind of energy only exists in the Initial Universe.” The purple-gold-robed middle-aged man shook his head. “Even if you bring this energy back to the Original Universe, it will directly decompose into various other forms of energy.”
……
While Luo Feng and the group of young people were talking with this powerhouse on the city tower.
Suddenly!
“Rumble rumble~~~”
The distant chaotic heavens and earth shook violently, and the sound itself caused the entire world to tremble.
“Wittersall!!!”
An angry roar echoed throughout the skies above Chaos City. A terrifying force of lightning instantly pierced through millions of kilometres, causing the powerhouses meditating on the rooftops of the various cultivation residences in Chaos City to open their eyes and look into the distance.
Luo Feng and the others, whose faces had turned deathly pale under the suppression of that powerful force, stood on the city tower in shock, staring into the distance.
In the distance…
A massive, incredibly burly bull-headed giant wearing ancient bronze-coloured battle armour looked like a god of the heavens and earth. Holding a giant axe comparable in size to himself, he swung the blood-soaked giant axe directly at a super existence who was fleeing.
The entire body of that super existence had transformed into lightning, and the lightning force was precisely what he emitted while fleeing.
Silence.
Luo Feng and the others were completely intimidated by the auras of those two super existences in the distance.
“Someone actually dares to fight in Chaos City?”
The purple-gold-robed middle-aged man looked into the distance in astonishment.
“Wittersall, why is this bull-headed fellow so foolish?”
