After confirming the direction, Lin Chen put away the star map.

The beings in the Primordial Void Universe are not much different in appearance from humans, except that they are generally much taller.

He immediately activated the Law of Flesh and Blood, his bones emitted a series of fine cracking sounds, his body grew taller from over 1.8 meters, his shoulders broadened, his face became rough, and his skin darkened.

In a short time, he had transformed from a human-like figure standing 1.8 meters tall into a nearly 3-meter-tall, inconspicuous physique of a native of the Yuanxu Universe.

He flexed his widened fingers, looked down to check his clothes, and only after confirming there were no flaws did he fly towards the nearest habitable planet.

Soon they arrived at a planet called Quicksand Star, a medium-sized life-bearing planet on the outskirts of the Chaotic Domain.

Most cities are built underground, with huge domes covering the entire city, and the interior light maintains a dusky, grayish-yellow hue.

Metal buildings stand on both sides of the street, with flowing light patterns on the walls, and hovercars fly at high speed close to the street.

Lin Chen slipped into the city through an inconspicuous side gate and walked among the crowds.

His three-meter height was no longer noticeable here. People passing by on the street were of similar build and hurried about, so no one would give him a second glance.

He walked along the main road for about 15 minutes and found a bar in a narrower alley.

The metal facade is adorned with an illuminated signboard. Pushing the door open, a whiff of wine aroma wafts out.

The bar is a quiet bar, with most of its ten or so tables empty.

Lin Chen casually chose a small table to sit down, ordered a signature drink and a few side dishes from the waiter, and slowly drank alone, his attention constantly focused on his surroundings.

At the next table, a few mercenaries were talking about their latest escort mission, while across from them, two men in tight-fitting clothes were discussing ore prices. Neither of them were providing any useful information.

He wasn't in a hurry. After finishing one drink, he ordered a second one. Only after the people at the next table left did he get up and walk towards the bar.

Behind the bar stood a young bartender, only at the ninth level of skill, wiping glasses.

Lin Chen stood at the front of the stage, pushed a Source Crystal in front of the other person, and casually asked, "This is my first time in the Chaotic Domain. Are there any places here where I can get good stuff?"

The bartender glanced up, his gaze immediately fixed on the mid-grade source crystal, and he hurriedly replied, "You mean the black market?"

"Hmm." Lin Chen hadn't heard this word before, but he responded anyway.

The bartender put down his glass, quickly pocketed the Source Crystal, and lowered his voice, saying, "The black market is on the third basement level in the west of the city, and there's a lot of stuff there. I heard there's a fairly large auction going on there in three days, and many forces from the Chaotic Domain have sent people over."

Lin Chen's eyes flickered slightly: "How do we get in?"

"Anyone can get into that place, as long as they have Source Crystals." The bartender paused. "The black market is backed by the Luo Fu Merchant Guild, the number one power in the Chaotic Domain. That's not a secret locally."

Lin Chen glanced at him: "How do you know so much?"

The bartender scratched his head: "I'm a local, everyone knows that."

Lin Chen nodded, put down the money for the drinks, got up and went out.

He stood on the street for a while. It was already night, so he had no choice but to find a hotel with fairly luxurious decor to stay in.

The Chaotic Domain was originally formed by people who were driven to desperation by the ten major powers. Most of those who came here were wanderers and so-called "criminals" from all over the place. No one cared about their identity or background, and there was no identification.

As long as you have source crystals, you can settle down. Of course, you also need to have the corresponding strength, otherwise being betrayed and exploited is a common occurrence.

Lin Chen entered the room, set up a divine power restriction on the door, and then sat down cross-legged to immerse himself in cultivation.

His primary purpose in coming to the Yuanxu Universe was not to escape pursuit, but to break through to a higher level.

In the Blue Star Universe and the Creation Space, his strength growth had reached its peak. Only here could he possibly quickly advance to the eleventh rank.

The tenth level involves condensing the Dao Fruit of Laws, while the eleventh level involves using the power of laws to temper the physical body, integrating the Dao Fruit into the flesh and bones, and simultaneously enhancing mental power.

Back then, it was thanks to the cultivation method given to him by Jingyu that Li Zu was able to complete the process of integrating the Dao Fruit into his physical body ahead of schedule, which allowed him to maintain overwhelming combat power even under the suppression of the Blue Star Universe.

Later, the suppression of the World Spirit dissipated, and his spiritual power broke through to the eleventh level, finally shattering the void and departing.

I just don't know where he is now.

The elites of this world are generally at the tenth or eleventh rank. The bartender we just saw was only at the ninth rank, which is just the bottom of society.

The twelfth rank is already considered high-level, while the top rank is held by great figures of the thirteenth rank. This is also the upper limit of cultivation in the Middle Thousand Universe.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, focused his mind into his body, and began to attempt the initial fusion of the Dao Fruit and his physical body.

He chose the Time Dao Fruit first. As long as he successfully integrates one Dao Fruit, he can step into the eleventh level.

Sure enough, once they arrived in the Primordial Void Universe, without the suppression of the world's power, the resistance when mobilizing the Dao Fruit to integrate into the physical body was much smaller, and the affinity for various laws also increased significantly.

Overnight, he had grasped some of the basics, but to truly integrate the Dao Fruit, he still needed to slowly temper his body with the power of the laws. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required considerable time and effort.

After dawn, he finished his practice, left the hotel, and took a plane to the west of the city to see if he could find some cultivation resources on the black market.

It wasn't that he didn't want to travel through space directly, but the city lord wouldn't allow it.

The entire city is under a no-fly zone to prevent people like him, who are skilled in spatial laws, from running around recklessly; otherwise, thefts here would probably be rampant.

Besides, having just arrived in an unfamiliar place, he didn't intend to make a fuss; keeping a low profile was the right thing to do.

This city is very large, with a population of nearly one billion.

He traveled almost across the entire city from east to west, a journey that took nearly an hour even by motorbike.

Upon arrival, it took another ten mid-grade source crystals to enter the third underground level, which was the entrance to the so-called "black market".

Calling it a black market is not accurate at all; they are openly doing business.

However, the city lord dared not offend the Luofu Merchant Guild behind him, and dared not even collect taxes. As a result, this place could only be called the "black market".
