“What?” Luo Feng was shocked. “You said quite a few people have died?”
“Mm.” Rong Jun shook his head. “I was just as shocked when I first found out. But later, I went outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts myself, and it no longer seemed strange. And do you remember what that Venerable said when we were sent to the Initial Universe aboard the spaceship?”
Luo Feng recalled that scene and nodded. “I remember.”
At the time, when that purple scaled man in the azure battle robe brought the 1,000 geniuses here, he had said, “I was the one who brought you here. I hope to see all of you alive thirty years from now.” When Luo Feng heard those words, he had already guessed that there would probably be some dangers in Chaos City. However, after actually staying in Chaos City for some time, he had felt that it was quite safe.
It seemed to be a sacred land where cultivators could comprehend the laws.
Humans were forbidden from killing one another here. Anyone who killed another person would certainly die, and even those who attacked without killing anyone would receive severe punishment.
Moreover, when he looked at the countless powerful cultivators painstakingly cultivating on the rooftops, all he could feel was the atmosphere of bitter cultivation and comprehension. He could not sense the slightest hint of danger.
“It really is very dangerous.”
Rong Jun said solemnly, “Don’t be careless. Those Chaos Beasts are not easy to deal with at all. The 1,000 geniuses who came this time have all received rewards from Virtual Universe Company, including bonus points. The minimum reward was ten mixed units, and the points can also be exchanged for precious treasures. Who among them doesn’t have some trump cards?”
Luo Feng frowned and nodded slightly. Things were not looking good.
These geniuses were all formidable, yet quite a few had still died. The Chaos True Spirit was indeed a good thing, but obtaining it was not easy.
“The most troublesome thing is that there are so many of them. Even if you bring thermal weapons and an advanced spaceship, you can still be killed instantly if you accidentally get surrounded.” Rong Jun said solemnly, “I’m reminding you to be cautious. This is the real world, not the Virtual Universe Network. Once you die, it’s really over.”
“Mm.” Luo Feng held his breath.
Watching Rong Jun leave, Luo Feng was somewhat unsettled by what he had said. He turned around and continued reading the stone tablet.
“…
When the soul becomes more compatible with the universe, comprehending the origin laws of the universe will become clearer.
When a World Lord becomes an Immortal, it is a transformation of the essence of the soul.
Absorbing Chaos True Spirits, however, causes a gradual and slow transformation. The degree of transformation is small. The souls of Immortal beings have already become eternal, so absorbing Chaos True Spirits is ineffective. Chaos True Spirits are only effective for those below the Immortal level.
Note one, Immortal beings are forbidden from attacking Chaos Beasts.
Two, Chaos Beasts have low intelligence and have been divided into three regions by the supreme experts of Chaos City. The first region, which is closest to Chaos City, covers an area approximately 2,000 kilometres from the city walls. It contains only Universe level Chaos Beasts and is called the inner layer. The second region covers the area 2,000 to 10,000 kilometres from the city walls. This is the middle layer, where Domain Lord level Chaos Beasts live. The third region is the outer layer, where all the Chaos Beasts are World Lord level.
Chaos Beasts are mainly between the Universe level and World Lord level. If an Immortal level Chaos Beast is discovered, Chaos City will send powerful experts to eliminate it.
Three, Domain Lord level cultivators are only allowed to hunt Chaos Beasts in the middle layer and are forbidden from entering the inner layer. World Lords may only hunt Chaos Beasts in the outer layer and are forbidden from entering the inner or middle layers!”
After reading the contents of the stone tablet, Luo Feng fell silent.
“Damn! They’re clearly raising the younger generation.” Babata shouted. “These Chaos Beasts have been divided into three regions. With Chaos City’s strength, they could instantly kill all the Chaos Beasts, but they didn’t. Instead, they are allowing them to multiply freely. Domain Lords can only enter the middle layer, while World Lords can only enter the outer layer. Clearly, the innermost layer is reserved for you geniuses.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Chaos City was a sacred land of the human race in the universe.
Many of the arrangements here were designed to cultivate generation after generation of powerful experts and ensure that humanity remained prosperous forever. Having young people venture out and fight Chaos Beasts was clearly another way of training the younger generation. Flowers raised in a greenhouse would ultimately have limited prospects. Although the thirty years in Chaos City were relatively safe, having a little sense of danger was beneficial and would help cultivate the younger generation.
“Chaos Beasts!” Luo Feng’s mind stirred.
The dark red battle suit covering his body rapidly extended and formed a helmet, completely enveloping him in the Moyun Battle Armour and leaving only his eyes exposed.
“Let’s see what these things are really like.”
Wearing a dark red battle armour, Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, with the dark golden long staff on his back.
The chaotic airflow drifted about, making it impossible to see very far with the naked eye.
On the vast wilderness, weeds grew everywhere. This wilderness had existed for who knew how many years. Even the unknown weeds and scattered stones everywhere were fundamentally different from the matter in the original universe. After being nourished by the chaotic airflow for countless years, these stones all shared one characteristic.
No matter how long they existed, they would never decay.
Luo Feng proceeded cautiously.
Rustle…
“Hmm?”
His ears twitched. He immediately descended and hid behind a boulder, carefully watching ahead.
A dark shadow emerged from the weeds in the distance.
It was a creature resembling an ape, more than three metres tall. Its body was hunched over, and its two long arms reached directly to the ground. Apart from white fur on its face, it had only one brown vertical eye and a mouth. It had no nose or ears, while its tail stood high in the air and trembled slightly.
“How strong is it?” Luo Feng mentally asked Babata.
“I don’t know. There is no such creature as a Chaos Beast in the original universe, so I cannot determine what level of strength the aura it emits represents,” Babata replied.
“Oh.” Luo Feng nodded.
The ape like Chaos Beast was running in the distance. Its tail, which had been held high like a radar, suddenly stopped. It abruptly turned its head towards Luo Feng.
That single vertical eye instantly erupted with fury and killing intent.
“Boom!”
Its raised tail suddenly whipped through the air, and the Chaos Beast instantly transformed into a blur and appeared before Luo Feng. Its enormous palm clawed towards him.
“Go!”
Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle and retreated rapidly while controlling the weapon with his mind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nine streaks of golden light instantly rose behind Luo Feng. Six of them shot directly towards the charging Chaos Beast.
“Roar!”
The ape like Chaos Beast whipped its tail again, strangely producing a series of afterimages. It actually managed to dodge three of the golden swords.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With three consecutive crisp sounds, the Chaos Beast merely swept its claws and directly knocked away Luo Feng’s three golden swords.
As the golden swords were sent flying…
“Sky Sword Technique!”
Luo Feng frowned.
In an instant, the surrounding area was enveloped by golden waves. The nine golden swords floated in the air, directly forming a Sword Domain.
Compared with when he had broken through the Heavenly Bridge, his Sword Domain was now clearly much more orderly. At least there were no longer chaotic sword energies shooting in every direction. The sword energies had become extremely organised.
Accompanied by a dazzling golden rainbow, one of the golden swords gathered the power of countless sword energies within the Sword Domain and instantly stabbed towards the Chaos Beast.
“Roar!”
The Chaos Beast let out a ferocious roar. Its furry tail whipped through the air as it accelerated to escape. It seemed to sense how powerful this attack was, but how could its speed compare with the attack speed of the Yan Shen Weapon?
“Boom!”
Unable to escape in time, the Chaos Beast smashed both fists towards the sword rainbow.
With a tremendous explosion, its thick arms were directly shattered. Golden blood splattered everywhere, with flesh, blood and bones flying through the air. The golden sword rainbow directly sliced off its head.
“Boom!”
The ape like Chaos Beast collapsed to the ground. As it fell, its golden blood, fur, flesh and bones gradually decayed and transformed into chaotic airflow. At the same time, a turquoise green point of light floated up.
“Chaos True Spirit!”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. He immediately controlled a surge of telekinetic force to envelop the point of light.
Hiss!
The instant his telekinetic force touched the Chaos True Spirit, the Chaos True Spirit gradually began to dissolve.
“Telekinetic force is mental power, and the soul is composed of a vast amount of mental power. It isn’t strange that telekinetic force can absorb the Chaos True Spirit.”
Luo Feng immediately took the roughly ten percent of the Chaos True Spirit that had dissolved and absorbed it into the Origin Core within his body. His three bodies were not his true core. The Origin Core was his true core.
“Rumble…”
The surrounding airflow suddenly trembled violently.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Countless Chaos Beasts of the same type, all with hunched bodies, white fur on their faces and vertical eyes, suddenly shot out like lightning from the surrounding grass.
At a glance, there were at least several hundred Chaos Beasts. In terms of aura, some were clearly much stronger than the one he had just killed.
“Not good!”
Luo Feng had no intention of resisting at all.
Whoosh!
A silver white pyramid shaped mechanical race spaceship appeared out of nowhere, but these Chaos Beasts were simply too fast.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Dark red vines immediately extended from Luo Feng’s body. Dozens of vines suddenly lashed towards the huge group of Chaos Beasts charging wildly.
“Boom!”
The enormous ape like Chaos Beast at the front was sent flying by the blow, spitting blood, yet it did not die.
…
Luo Feng rushed into the mechanical race spaceship and closed the hatch.
“Rumble!”
The group of Chaos Beasts outside frantically attacked the outer hull of the spaceship. However, this was an E grade mechanical race spaceship. How could a group of Chaos Beasts whose strength was at most comparable to Universe level nine contend with it?
“I finally understand why so many geniuses have died even though every one of them has a spaceship, enormous wealth, and can obtain powerful laser weapons and railguns!”
Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had not had the mechanical race spaceship, he might have been able to escape with the help of the Moyun Vine, but he would certainly have been in a very sorry state.
“Hunting Chaos Beasts. Yes, hunting.”
“Just like a hunter, move quietly, kill instantly, absorb its Chaos True Spirit, and immediately flee.”
Luo Feng secretly thought, “Its roar earlier had already attracted its companions. I should not have fought it at all. I should have immediately fled.”
…
Above Chaos City, a silver white pyramid shaped mechanical race spaceship appeared in mid air. Then the spaceship disappeared, and Luo Feng descended into the city.
However, no one paid any attention to this scene.
In the Black Dragon Mountain Star Field, a mechanical race spaceship was extremely rare and precious. But in a sacred land of the human race such as Chaos City, many of the Immortal beings who came here possessed wealth exceeding that of Huyan Bo.
A mechanical race spaceship was simply far too common.
