Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 89, The Golden Soul Bead

It was a burly man about three meters tall, wearing an incredibly complex and ancient dark red battle armor and battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.

When Jiang Ming's gaze fell on this person, he felt his soul tremble.

At first, I only saw a figure, but then it was as if I saw endless cosmic laws...

The magnificent and vast laws of the universe constantly exuded a murderous aura, causing Jiang Ming and even his soul to completely submit.

He couldn't muster even a thought of resistance.

"Jiang Ming." A very ordinary voice rang out, and all the illusions disappeared. Jiang Ming could see the man again with his naked eye.

The man wearing dark red battle armor and with a scaled tail turned to look at Jiang Ming.

He had two fiery red horns on his forehead and strange, mysterious markings on his face, making him look very fierce.

But his eyes were calm, like a vast ocean or an endless starry sky, making people unconsciously feel peaceful.

"What an incredible talent."

Jiang Ming's gaze fell on the burly man. When he saw that figure, it was as if he had seen the universe itself.

Countless cosmic rules operate around it.

"Greetings, my lord."

Jiang Ming quickly bowed. In this vast Chaos City, Jiang Ming had never seen such a great being before. The only one he could think of was the Chaos City Lord.

However, he wasn't sure if the burly man in front of him was indeed the Lord of Chaos City, so he didn't dare to address him carelessly.

"I am the Lord of Chaos City."

Seemingly sensing Jiang Ming's thoughts, the Chaos City Lord spoke up.

"Your talent is astonishing. I never thought that any human talent could be as unique and powerful as yours."

The Lord of Chaos City seemed to be able to see through everything. Just by looking at Jiang Ming, he felt that all the secrets of his body were revealed in his eyes.

This gaze made Jiang Ming tremble, but he held his mind and dared not think too much about it.

"Your time acceleration talent is incredibly powerful; it's a talent that even I find unbelievable."

The Lord of Chaos smiled.

"Don't be nervous. The different flow of time and the different experiences of time are really nothing to someone at my level."

There are many ancient beings in Chaos City, who have lived there permanently since its founding.

He spent countless hours comprehending the rules governing the initial universe and entered this secret chamber of the Chaos Stele countless times.

But half of them haven't achieved as much as you.

Jiang Ming listened to the Chaos City Lord's narration without daring to respond, simply listening obediently.

"The fact that you were able to gain the recognition of the fundamental laws of space so easily shows that your comprehension is also extremely amazing."

The effect of the Chaos Monument will only decrease over time; it is most effective in the first few days.

Only after accumulating knowledge over a period of time and then gaining insight can one achieve good results.

Otherwise, if the effect remains the same, and one only needs to study for a thousand or several thousand years to reach the level of Jiang Ming, why would the Virtual Universe Company not allow these geniuses to study it?

After all, what difference would it make if tens or hundreds of millions of cultivators were put into a cultivation room to comprehend together at the same time?
The Chaos Stele's effectiveness is not diminished by the number of people who comprehend it.

Only with sufficient accumulation can one ignite the most brilliant sparks when comprehending the Chaos Stele.

"It's good that you have such talent and comprehension."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled at Jiang Ming, and then spoke again.

"Would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's words, Jiang Ming's expression instantly turned solemn. Although the matter was somewhat sudden, he was not unprepared. "This disciple is willing."

Jiang Ming bowed deeply and said respectfully.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

As one of the most powerful figures in the original universe, Jiang Ming's talent truly surprised him, but he still needed to observe him further.

Observing Jiang Ming's character and personality, as his disciple, talent is certainly a must.

However, if someone is a person he dislikes, even if they are highly talented, he will only ask other universe lords to take them as disciples.

"If you were to reveal such a level of law now, it would surely cause a stir among the alien races of the universe, and they would frantically try to assassinate you."

The Chaos City Lord's gaze fell on Jiang Ming's brow. His original plan was to wait until Jiang Ming went to challenge the Heavenly Bridge, or to observe him for a while longer, before deciding whether to accept him as a disciple.

However, Jiang Ming's progress far exceeded his expectations, even faster than the fastest progress he had anticipated.

This prompted the Lord of Chaos City to appear ahead of schedule.

"This is a 'Soul Golden Bead' with an extremely strong disguise ability. It can help you conceal the law mark between your eyebrows, so that even a Universe Venerable cannot see it."

Wow!
With a flick of his hand, the surrounding space trembled, and a golden bead appeared.

It attracts the surrounding chaotic airflow.

"Sigh~"

Jiang Ming felt a stinging pain in his soul after just one glance at the bead.

It was a bead with countless laws and secret patterns engraved on it. It was no bigger than a football, but in Jiang Ming's eyes it was larger than a star.

An invisible, heavy pressure seemed to fall upon Jiang Ming's soul.

"This is an extremely precious treasure. I used it in my younger days. It can protect the user's soul. Even a soul master at the level of a cosmic venerable cannot do anything to you."

But I used this treasure in my younger days and it's somewhat famous, so I shouldn't reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

The Lord of Chaos City introduced with a smile.

Upon hearing the introduction, Jiang Ming's breathing quickened. He now possessed the 'Myriad Transformations Returning to the Void Divine Body,' whose material energy could hardly harm a Universe Venerable level being attacked.

If he had another treasure that could protect his soul, a treasure that even a cosmic-level soul master couldn't touch, he would be even more powerful.

Wouldn't that allow one to roam freely under the supreme beings of the universe?
"Disciple, please remember this."

However, he also remembered what the Lord of Chaos City said: this treasure had been used by the Lord of Chaos City in his early years.

As a Chaos City Lord, the treasures he used in his early years, while not all of them were famous throughout the universe, were at least known to many people.

Moreover, it is such a treasure that guards the soul.

"Once you refine it into your body, it will take effect automatically, but I will send you a secret manual through the virtual universe to explain how to use it. Study it carefully."

"Yes."

The secrets of the 'Soul Golden Pearl' treasure must never be revealed; they are kept within the virtual universe.

"Come find me at the City Lord's Mansion when you leave Chaos City."

After the Lord of Chaos finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The 'Golden Soul Bead' then actively entered Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, where it was refined and used to guard his soul.

As the Lord of Chaos departed, Jiang Ming realized that none of the dozens of geniuses who had entered the comprehension with him seemed to have noticed the Lord of Chaos's arrival.

His eyes and attention never left the Chaos Monument.

If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed a 'golden bead of soul' in Jiang Ming's mind, Jiang Ming would have thought that what he had just seen was an illusion.
