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

Chapter 96, Hunting the Chaos Beast

Chaos City, its majestic walls stretching to the horizon, seems to merge with the vast primordial universe.

The massive city gate, like the maw of a giant beast, constantly swallowed and spat out the figures of powerful individuals entering and leaving, radiating a chilling aura.

As Jiang Ming and Ai Chen approached the city gate, an ancient stone tablet stood before them.

"It's pretty much the same as what I know."

Ai Chen stopped, his gaze sweeping across the surface of the monument, and said to Jiang Ming beside him.

"Ah."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

The entire stone tablet is inscribed with the universal language, detailing the third treasure of Chaos City, the Chaos True Spirit.

The inscription roughly translates as follows:

Chaos True Spirit: When the initial universe was in its primordial state, strange beings naturally arose, temporarily named "Chaos Beast".

Their appearances are bizarre, their strength varies, and they are all born in more or less in accordance with the fundamental laws.

When a Chaos Beast is killed, its body will decay and dissipate, leaving only pure Chaos Qi and a greenish light.

This point of light is the life core of the Chaos Beast, without soul or spirit, possessing only this "spirit," hence the name "True Spirit of Chaos."

Simply introduce the "Chaotic True Spirit" into the body, and the soul will automatically absorb it.

After fusion, the soul will undergo a subtle transformation, and its compatibility with the universe will also increase.

"I've heard that a genius has died outside the city."

After reading the stone tablet, Ai Chen spoke to Jiang Ming.

"So fast? People have died in just a few days?"

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised. It had only been a little over seven days since they entered the initial universe, and it was indeed unexpected that someone would die outside the city so quickly.

“We were the first to enter the Chaos Stele’s secret chamber. Some people were later to enter, and some of them went out of the city to hunt ‘Chaos Beasts’ and were killed.”

Ai Chen was also somewhat shocked when she talked about these things.

Unlike Jiang Ming, there are very few female geniuses among this group of geniuses, and they tend to stick together, although they don't have a deep friendship.

However, they occasionally exchange information.

“This ‘chaotic beast’ must be the reason why the Venerable One said that he hoped we would all be alive when he saw us again.”

Ai Chen recalled what the man in the blue battle robe with purple scales had said and spoke to Jiang Ming.

"Nothing"

Ai Chen changed the subject, a sly smile spreading across his face as he looked at Jiang Ming.

"With such a great expert as you here, I can certainly benefit from your presence."

The stone tablet clearly indicates the distribution of the Chaos Beasts' strength.

The inner circle near Chaos City is at the cosmic level, the middle circle two thousand kilometers away is at the domain lord level, and the outer circle ten thousand miles away is at the world lord level.

Given the strength Jiang Ming displayed at the Tongtian Bridge, and considering that many of his trump cards in reality cannot be used in the virtual universe, his true combat power is only more terrifying.

With him around, the threat from the Chaos Beasts in the inner and even middle circles is greatly reduced.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming simply smiled calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

For him, the Chaos Beast described in the inscription was indeed not a threat.

boom!
A blazing crimson blade of light, as intense as molten lava, suddenly tore through the sky!
Hundreds of chaotic beasts, resembling giant apes with bared fangs, were instantly annihilated in the flash of the blades before they could even roar.

The enormous beast's body, along with its fur and bones, rapidly decayed and dissolved as if splashed with strong acid, leaving only scattered, firefly-like emerald lights suspended in the air—the very Chaos True Spirit.

This thunderous strike, like a meteorite falling into the sea, stirred up towering waves on the vast wilderness.

The terrifying battle shockwaves, like the most piercing alarm, instantly startled the beasts lurking in the wilderness!
"Roar!"

"Ouch!"

At the edge of the wasteland, the horizon was writhing and boiling! Countless chaotic beasts, with even more ferocious forms and larger bodies, were startled and swarmed out from caves, rock crevices, and even the twisted folds of space.

Their eyes were bloodshot, their aura was violent, and they merged into a destructive torrent, surging towards the place where Jiang Ming and Ai Chen were at the center of the battle!

Smoke and dust obscured the sun, the earth trembled, and the roars of beasts were deafening, as if the entire wasteland had come alive.

"They've attracted so many!" Ai Chen saw tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts.

"These low-intelligence creatures are not troublesome to deal with."

Jiang Ming's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple.

With a slight thought, his Force, like an invisible hand, precisely collected the hundreds of emerald green light spots into a specially made container.

Faced with the overwhelming tide of beasts that seemed capable of engulfing everything, he simply raised the longsword in his hand once more, which was burning with undying divine flames.

The blade trembled slightly, and the humming sound drowned out the roars of the beasts.

"cut."

There was no earth-shattering shout, only a soft, calm whisper.

The next moment, the crimson light reappeared!

This time, it's not about piercing the sky, but...!

Cut through heaven and earth!

A crimson blade of energy, stretching across the sky and traversing the eight wastelands, erupted suddenly at a speed beyond perception, like a divine punishment blade that split the heavens and the earth!

Where the blade flashed, a dark rift silently opened in the space, and the violent chaotic air currents were instantly evaporated and annihilated!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, as if the surging tide of beasts had been paused.

The light of the knife passed by.

A silent, deathly stillness descended.

Tens of thousands of chaotic beasts of various shapes and ferocious nature froze in mid-air.

Then, like dominoes being toppled, the massive beast's body collapsed and separated along perfectly smooth cuts!
Without any blood splattering or dying struggles, all the Chaos Beasts covered by the blade's light began a rapid process of decay the moment they fell, transforming into denser chaotic energy and a sky full of emerald light rain, turning the wasteland into a strange emerald ocean.

"How perverted."

Ai Chen stood next to Jiang Ming. Although she couldn't judge the strength of the Chaos Beast, it was at least a cosmic-level existence.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts died as easily as wheat being harvested.

"Only you would find it easy."

Ai Chen estimated that even Bo Lan would have to flee if he faced tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts.

"Not bad, a good harvest."

Jiang Ming collected all the 'Chaotic True Spirits' and then continued forward with Ai Chen.

This 'Chaotic True Spirit' can transform the soul, although the transformation is not significant, the accumulated amount is still considerable.

From apprentice to world lord level, the soul only gets stronger and does not undergo a transformation.

Only when a realm lord reaches immortality will their soul undergo a fundamental change and a metamorphosis.

This shows how precious the 'Current True Spirit' is.

Just as Jiang Ming and Ai Chen were hunting 'Chaos Beasts' outside the city, Luo Feng also emerged from the secret chamber of the 'Nine Universes' Chaos Stele.

After selecting a cultivation residence near the city lord's mansion, he connected to the virtual universe.

But as soon as Luo Feng entered the virtual universe, he was stunned.

"Only two geniuses from this year's Tongtian Bridge have passed the first level, and one of them, Bolan, has passed the second level."

And Brother Jiang actually made it through the thirteenth level?!

Luo Feng now suspected that there might be an error in the email, with the third layer being written as the thirteenth layer.

After reading all the information, Luo Feng fell silent.

"I need to work harder. Even if I can't keep up with Brother Jiang, I can at least not fall too far behind."

He was provoked.

Luo Feng is one of the most outstanding players in this year's Genius Battle. Although he is still far behind Bo Lan and Jiang Ming, he is still someone whose presence can be seen.

But now, seeing Jiang Ming's record, while shocked, he also felt a surge of anger.
