Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 101 The Cosmic Chaos Monument in Chaos City
Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

A mysterious palace filled with pale purple energy.

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and stared at the young world lord in front of him who was wearing a black robe.

"Respected Master Silver Serpent, Venerable Netherfire has decreed that your application to enter Chaos City has been approved."

The black-robed realm lord bowed slightly, his attitude extremely respectful.

The person before them was a big shot who had obtained permanent residency in Chaos City and held an extremely high position within the Virtual Universe Company. Ordinary people would never dare to offend him easily.

"it is good."

Ye Xingkong nodded, his expression calm.

As a weapon refiner capable of forging immortal divine weapons at the King level, his status is comparable to that of an immortal king, and he possesses many special privileges.

One of them is the ability to live permanently in Chaos City.

The first time you enter Chaos City, you need to apply for permission from the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company; after that, you can enter freely.

"The initial universe... Chaos City... This is really something to look forward to!"

Looking at the magnificent and dazzling starry sky in the distance, Ye Xingkong felt quite emotional.

He naturally had many complex feelings towards this sacred place of cultivation for the human race.

There was a mixture of longing and curiosity.

After half an hour.

An ancient and massive black spaceship, its shape resembling a ferocious black dragon coiled in the void.

Inside the spaceship, nearly a hundred powerful human warriors, who were about to enter the initial universe, were waiting quietly.

Ye Xingkong was also among the crowd.

"It is I, King Jianchen, requesting the opening of the cosmic passage."

"Immortal King" Captain said calmly, his powerful voice like a tidal wave, spreading to extremely distant places in the void.

"boom!"

A deep voice sounded, and then the ancient spaceship continued its journey.

"Ok?"

"Is this how the flow of time changes? That's interesting."

As the spaceship passed through the space tunnel, Ye Xingkong's expression changed slightly as he felt a strange power descend upon him.

However, for him, who already possessed the will of the universe's master, this feeling of time distortion was nothing.

On the contrary, most of the nearly one hundred powerful people in the spaceship turned slightly pale, and some even lay on the ground in a sorry state.

These people are from other forces within the universe, and they have gone to great lengths to obtain an initial universe slot through various means.

Most of them are realm lords or domain lords, and the strongest among them is only a Marquis Immortal.

"Legend has it that peak Realm Lords who cultivate in the Primordial Universe have a 50% higher chance of breaking through to Immortality!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for the pursuit of immortality, why would so many powerful individuals be vying for a spot in the initial universe?"

"To obtain this initial universe spot, I spent almost all of my cash, and even mortgaged my family's wealth, all for the sake of making a desperate gamble to break through to immortality."

……

Some people in the spaceship whispered to each other, some sighed, and some looked excited.

These powerful individuals who are qualified to enter the initial universe, even if they are not members of the five major human powers, would definitely be considered among the most elite in the outside world.

"Gentlemen, we have arrived at Chaos City."

"I'm sure everyone knows the rules here."

"Everyone has obviously paid a considerable price to get here. It would be a loss if they were kicked out of Chaos City for violating the rules."

Sword King looked at the nearly one hundred powerful outsiders in the spaceship and said in a rough voice, with a hint of warning in his tone.

"We understand."

Nearly a hundred powerful figures bowed slightly, their attitude quite respectful.

Even though they were all quite distinguished in their respective universes, none of them dared to be presumptuous in the face of an immortal king.

"Ah."

King Jianchen nodded, waved his hand, and said calmly, "You may all leave."

"Thank you, King Jianchen!"

The group bowed respectfully and then flew towards Chaos City.

Ye Xingkong blended into the crowd, his aura only that of an ordinary immortal, making him quite inconspicuous.

Although he has joined the Virtual Universe Company and holds a position comparable to an immortal king, his rise to power has been too short, resulting in him having little fame among human powerhouses.

Let alone the powerful figures from other forces, even the immortal powerhouses within the Virtual Universe Company itself might not have heard of Ye Xingkong's name.

"Is this the City of Chaos?"

Ye Xingkong landed on the ground and looked at the ancient and majestic city in front of him. The black city walls seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, and the mottled stone bricks seemed to carry a sense of the weight of time.

In the dim sky, some chaotic currents occasionally drifted by, and one could vaguely see the heavens and earth sometimes cracking open, with a large number of strange and mysterious patterns flowing at the edges of the cracked space.

The silk threads are intertwined, and the secret patterns on the threads are floating, just like a loom, weaving the world bigger and bigger.

Ye Xingkong stared at the strange patterns flowing on those crystal-clear threads, and for a moment he was completely captivated.

"The manifestation of the laws of the universe... How beautiful!"

"As expected of the Primordial Universe, it is far more wondrous than the so-called 'Ten Wonders' in the Qianwu Secret Realm."

Ye Xingkong stood there blankly, engrossed in comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe, even forgetting the passage of time.

In the initial universe, comprehending the laws of nature is inherently ten times more efficient than in the outside world.

If the efficiency of an ordinary realm lord in comprehending laws is one hundred, then Ye Xingkong's efficiency at this moment is ten million.

One day of cultivation in the initial universe is equivalent to nearly three hundred years of cultivation by a lord of an outer world.

It can be said that every second Ye Xingkong spent in the initial universe, a large number of insights were born in his mind, and his speed of comprehending the laws increased like a rocket.

"Seven days have passed without me even realizing it?"

When Ye Xingkong came to his senses again, he found that there was no one left at the city gate.

The group of powerful individuals who entered the initial universe together have long since dispersed, each seeking their own place to live in Chaos City.

"Lord Silver Snake."

At that moment, a gentle voice reached Ye Xingkong's ears.

A man wearing a black robe and with his head covered in blue scales walked over with a smile.

"I am your guide."

The man in black robes bowed slightly, his expression extremely respectful.

"I had just arrived in the initial universe and accidentally fell into a state of enlightenment."

Ye Xingkong said with a slight apology.

Clearly, the black-robed messenger had been waiting for him here for seven days.

"It's out of the way."

"It is my honor to serve such an important person as you."

The man in black robes bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Next, let me show you around Chaos City."

······
In Chaos City.

A wide main road, lined with white buildings on both sides.

As Ye Xingkong walked through the city, he could vaguely sense the aura of some powerful figures and the imposing presence of some formidable beings, which made him tremble with fear, as if a dozen peerless ferocious beasts were entrenched in different parts of Chaos City.

"In Chaos City, there are many immortal kings and even cosmic venerables."

"When Lord Silver Serpent is cultivating, please do not disturb others, otherwise you may easily offend some great beings." The black-robed envoy explained in a low voice as he walked.

Ye Xingkong looked around and nodded slightly.

Although it was his first time in Chaos City, he had at least seen pigs run before, even if he had never eaten pork, so he knew some of the rules.

Because Ye Xingkong's status was comparable to that of a king, and he had the right to reside permanently in Chaos City, he might cultivate here for a long time in the future, so the black-robed envoy explained it in great detail.

"This area is close to the city lord's mansion. You may choose any unclaimed land to build your own palace."

"Yes, once the palace is built, it will be entirely the master's private space. Other powerful individuals are prohibited from entering without permission, otherwise they will be severely punished by the city lord's mansion!"

Then, the black-robed envoy pointed to some special buildings in Chaos City, his tone somewhat cautious.

"This palace, and that palace... are all palaces of the Cosmic Sovereign."

"Of course, most of the universe venerables of our human race are roaming the universe, but these few have always stayed in Chaos City to cultivate, and have never left for billions of years."

"You must be careful, sir, and make sure you don't anger them."

The black-robed messenger said in a low voice.

The two explored most of Chaos City before finally arriving at the City Lord's Mansion.

"The city lord's mansion is just ahead."

The black-robed messenger pointed ahead.

Ye Xingkong looked up.

It was a magnificent building over three hundred meters tall, and you could see the three most dazzling characters in the universal language of the universe from afar—"City Lord's Mansion".

These three large characters seem to possess infinite magic; the characters themselves form a universe within themselves. Just staring at these three characters gives one the feeling that one's spirit is being continuously absorbed into the universe within the characters.

Ye Xingkong glanced at it briefly, then calmly looked away.

"The three characters 'City Lord's Mansion' are enough for you to see once, sir. Don't look at them too often."

The black-robed envoy laughed and said, "These words were written by the Lord of Chaos City himself. Even immortal beings would not dare to stare at them for too long."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

In reality, given his will as the ruler of the universe, viewing these few words would have absolutely no effect on him.

However, since he had entered under a false identity, it was best to keep a low profile.

"I've already walked to the entrance of the city lord's mansion."

"The Lord of Chaos City didn't react at all. It seems that either he didn't notice me, or he noticed me but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it."

Ye Xingkong muttered to himself, feeling a slight sense of relief.

Either way, it means he can now cultivate in peace in Chaos City.

"My lord, please come with me."

The black-robed messenger led Ye Xingkong to the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.

There are huge pictures hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

Upon seeing these drawings, Ye Xingkong's breathing became rapid.

52 Chaos Monuments!

Chaos City is arguably one of the most precious cultivation resources!

"Ordinary strong individuals who enter the initial universe, although they obtain a spot, can only comprehend the visible laws governing the universe's operation within the space."

"They are not qualified to comprehend the 52 Chaos Steles."

"Only core members of the five major powers can choose a Chaos Stele as their path of cultivation in the future."

The black-robed envoy said with great pride.

Ye Xingkong nodded; he had known this for a long time.

By joining the Virtual Universe Company, one can choose a Chaos Monument to study.

Of course, the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is extremely rare.

Aside from the first free attempt, subsequent attempts require passing through one level of the Sky Bridge to obtain another chance.

In other words, even someone as powerful as a cosmic sage only has about twenty opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele through normal channels.

"Sir, you are welcome to view these 52 rubbings at will."

"That's what the black-robed messenger said."

Ye Xingkong nodded and slowly walked into the dreamlike corridor, his gaze wandering among the paintings.

Because he was alone here and there was no time limit, he could fully immerse himself in the experience.

"This is... the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele."

Looking at the painting, Ye Xingkong felt as if he were in a pure white world.

An ancient, towering tree stands, its leaves already withered and yellow, countless leaves falling off.

The falling leaves seem to form the universe, possessing endless mysteries.

Ye Xingkong was engrossed in the "Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele" for about half an hour, and then slowly walked away to comprehend the next Chaos Stele.

One painting after another, the shortest took only twenty minutes, while the longest took seven or eight hours.

Ten days had passed by the time Ye Xingkong finished viewing all 52 paintings.

"I choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment and said calmly.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument?"

The black-robed messenger looked surprised.

In Chaos City, there are 52 Chaos Steles, which are also divided into 52 schools of thought.

Among them, the "Giant Axe" school has the largest number of members.

Because powerful individuals with some background know that the Giant Axe Chaos Stele was created by the creator of the Giant Axe, and it is the highest-level bridge to heaven.

The "Cosmic Chaos Monument" school has the fewest members.

What is the universe?

The four directions, up and down, are called "Yu" (宇), and the past and present are called "Zhou" (宙). "Yu" represents space, and "Zhou" represents time.

The Cosmic School of thought combines the two fundamental laws of "space" and "time," making its path extremely difficult.

These two laws are superior laws, and it is already extremely difficult to comprehend even one of them, let alone comprehend both.

Ye Xingkong's choice of the Cosmic Chaos Monument naturally stemmed from his own ambitions.

Since we have already decided to take the "Great Path of Time and Space", we might as well choose the most orthodox cosmic chaos monument.

In any case, with Ye Xingkong's comprehension and aptitude, becoming the master of the universe in the future is not a problem at all.

Moreover, this Cosmic Chaos Stele was created by the Lord of Chaos City. Although it is not as profound as the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, it ranks second among the 52 Chaos Steles.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument, let's choose that one."

Ye Xingkong had a faint smile on his lips.

"Yes, my lord."

The black-robed envoy shook his head inwardly, clearly believing that Ye Xingkong's choice of the Cosmic Chaos Monument was undoubtedly somewhat presumptuous.

Of the 52 Chaos Monuments, the Cosmic Chaos Monument is not the most profound, but it is the most difficult. Otherwise, the number of strong individuals in the "Cosmic" school would not be the fewest among all schools.

However, Ye Xingkong's status was so high that once he made his choice, the black-robed envoy had no right to say anything.

"My lord, after choosing the Chaos Stele, you will have one free opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

"Please come with me."

The black-robed envoy sighed softly and bowed as he spoke.
