Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 191 The Disciple of the Chaos City Lord

The universe is vast, and within a huge cube made of countless crystals, floats a vast and enormous divine kingdom.

At the heart of the cube, on a jade-green throne, sat a man.

Its face closely resembles a human's, with a golden eye between its eyebrows, and its body appears to be sculpted from crystal.

The man frowned slightly and let out a soft exclamation.

"Oh?"

"A peerless genius has actually been born among the distant human race?"

"In less than a hundred years, he has already reached the level of immortality in his understanding of the laws."

"Such a terrifying genius, the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race will probably all try to kill that little guy, right?"

"To completely kill this little guy and prevent the human race from reviving him, at least a powerhouse at the level of a Universe Venerable would be needed to take action."

"But killing Rorschach like this would come at the cost of the Cosmic Venerable's life as well."

"Trading a Cosmic Venerable for Rorschach, I doubt any race would choose that, but if it's an Immortal God... assassinating him would be far more troublesome."

"Haha, this is really interesting!"

"Fight! Fight! The territories of these four major races are close together; they'd better fight until their heads are smashed to pieces! The more brutal the fight, the better!"

The man whispered, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Luo Xia had no idea that his simple act of crossing the Tongtian Bridge would cause such a commotion and make him the target of the alien race.

He was defeated in less than a minute after entering the 19th floor.

We can't beat them!

I really can't beat them!

Reaching the level of cosmic-level understanding of the laws to the level of becoming a King-level Immortal is already his current limit!

"If you can understand the fifth and sixth pictures, you should be able to pass."

Rorschach muttered to himself, when suddenly he heard Babata shout excitedly, "Rorschach! A lot of people are emailing you!!!"

"Huh?" Luo Xia was taken aback and asked, "Who's messaging me?"

Babata exclaimed excitedly, "So many! And these emails are all from very powerful figures. Let me tell you, this one is from the Nine Swords Venerable, this one is from the Golden Axe Venerable! This one is from the Nether Demon Venerable... My God! So many Venerables are sending you messages! This is terrifying!"

Rorschach blinked and reminded him, "Babata, quickly turn off email reception!"

Babata was taken aback. "Why?"

"These big shots are probably messaging me now because they want to take me on as their disciple," Luo Xia said, stroking his chin. "So I'd better shut them down right now!"

Babata blinked, looking at Rorschach with confusion. "Isn't it a good thing that these Cosmic Venerables want to take you as their disciple? Don't you want to become their apprentice?! Rorschach, these Cosmic Venerables are much stronger than the boss!"

The "boss" she was referring to was Teacher Hu Yanbo.

Luo Xia said, "I know they are far stronger than Teacher Huyanbo."

He looked at Babata, spread his hands, and said, "It's not that I don't want to become their disciple, it's just that I'm not familiar with these venerable ones, so I naturally need time to learn about them. And wouldn't it be impolite to keep my email open and not reply to it?"

Babata thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

"Let's get out of here first," Rorschach said.

Immediately afterwards, he left the virtual universe.

Chaos City.

Luo Xia has returned to his training residence.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, is still in the virtual universe.

"Rorschach!" At that moment, a voice as loud as thunder rang out. Rorschach looked down at the street and saw a nine-meter-tall giant staring at him with six eyes.

"Your Excellency!" Rorschach quickly bowed.

The Golden Axe Venerable nodded slightly and said, "Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord wants to see you."

Only Rorschach could hear what he said.

The others couldn't hear it.

"Yes!" Luo Xia nodded, jumped off the rooftop, and followed behind the Golden Axe Venerable towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The other immortals looked over when the Golden Axe Venerable appeared.

Seeing Luo Xia and the Golden Axe Venerable leave, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Could it be that Venerable Golden Axe is preparing to take Luo Xia as his disciple?"

"That must be it. Otherwise, why would the Venerable One have come here?"

"Wait, if Venerable Golden Axe wanted to take Luo Xia as his disciple, he wouldn't need to come here at all..."

The Venerable One's status is extremely noble.

Although Rorschach is a genius enough, he would never allow the Venerable One to lower himself.

For a moment, the immortals frowned.

That makes sense. If Venerable Golden Axe wanted to take Luo Xia as his disciple, he could simply send an email to Luo Xia and ask him to come to the City Lord's Mansion.

Why did you come in person?

"Could it be the Lord of Chaos City...?"

An immortal being suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding immortals were all taken aback, and then someone said:

"I've heard that during the Genius Battle, a Venerable wanted to take Luo Xia as his disciple, but another Venerable said that Luo Xia had already caught the eye of the Chaos City Lord. Could it be...?"

"Rorschach has risen to the top in one fell swoop!"

An immortal figure reacted and exclaimed in amazement.

On the other side, Luo Xia followed the Golden Axe Venerable and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion is divided into an outer mansion and an inner mansion.

Normally, when Luo Xia and his group come to the City Lord's Mansion, they enter the outer mansion. As for the inner mansion, it is guarded by immortal gods. If these little Karami want to enter the inner mansion, they can only do so with the order of the Chaos City Lord.

Upon arriving at the inner palace gate, the two immortal deities guarding it immediately bowed to Venerable Golden Axe, saying, "Greetings, Venerable One!"

The Golden Axe Venerable nodded slightly, then said to Luo Xia, "Let's go, come inside with me."

Luo Xia nodded, glanced at the two immortal gods guarding the gate, and followed behind the Golden Axe Venerable into the inner palace.

He thought to himself: "They were hyped up to be gods in the early stages, but in the late stages, they're just gatekeepers!"

Following the Golden Axe Venerable, they soon arrived at a plaza.

In the square stood a bald man wearing a fiery red battle robe.

He stood in the square, but there were faint cosmic phenomena around him, as if he had become the center of the universe and the world, which amazed everyone.

"Second Senior Brother," Venerable Golden Axe called out to the bald man.

The bald man nodded slightly, looked at Rorschach, and smiled, "You must be Rorschach?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Luo Xia bowed. Anyone who could be addressed as "Second Senior Brother" by the Golden Axe Venerable must also be a Venerable.

The bald-headed venerable one smiled and said, "My teacher intends to take you as his personal disciple. I wonder if you would be willing?"

After asking the question, he added, "Oh, by the way, my ninth junior brother and I are taught by the Lord of Chaos City."

Rorschach nodded and said, "Of course I'm willing."

Upon hearing this, the bald-headed Venerable laughed and said, "In that case, you can just call me Second Senior Brother and Ninth Junior Brother Ninth Senior Brother."

"Yes, Second Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother."

Rorschach, seizing the opportunity, immediately joined in.

The second senior brother laughed and said to Venerable Golden Axe, "Ninth junior brother, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take Junior Brother Luo Xia to see our teacher."

"Senior brother, I'll be going now."

The Golden Axe Venerable bowed slightly and turned to leave.

The second senior brother said to Luo Xia, "Let's go, Junior Brother Luo Xia."

He continued forward with Rorschach, introducing him as he went:

"I became a disciple of my teacher very early on, which is why I was able to become the second senior disciple. Among the many disciples under my teacher, there are quite a few who are stronger than me. It is only because of my teacher's special favor that I am able to be by his side so often."

Rorschach nodded.

The second senior brother continued, "Our teacher has three incarnations. The one who presides over Chaos City is the one who is in charge of killing and warfare, so you must respect him and not offend him."

"Yes."

Rorschach was not surprised at all.

Although I've forgotten many details from the original story.

But a famous figure like the Lord of Chaos City naturally remembered quite a lot.

They also knew about his three main clones.

Apart from the clone that is in charge of killing.

The Lord of Chaos City also has a clone called Qianbaohe, whose appearance is described as extremely unappealing: tens of thousands of kilometers tall, with silvery-white skin all over its body and thousands of tentacles on its head.

Just thinking about those thousands of tentacles makes my sanity plummet.

However, the true form of the Chaos City Lord, as described in the original work, has a face that closely resembles that of an Earthling.

Before long, the second senior brother led Luo Xia to a quiet courtyard.

Outside this courtyard stands a stone tablet.

The stone tablet bears three characters: Chaos Ruins.

"The teacher is inside," the second senior brother said, and then he stepped into the courtyard.

Rorschach followed behind and stepped into the courtyard.

boom!

With this step, time and space were directly reversed, the stars shifted, and in an instant, he arrived in a vast and desolate world.

What comes into view is the endless expanse of land.

On this land, all kinds of corpses can be seen everywhere. Some of the corpses are as big as planets, while others are smaller than humans.

These corpses all exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Luo Xia's breathing paused slightly before returning to normal. He secretly guessed that this vast world must be the ruins of some great war.

Second Senior Brother led Luo Xia across this endless, desolate land.

I don't know how long we walked.

"Teacher!" the second senior brother suddenly called out.

It was only then that Luo Xia noticed a man about three meters tall standing not far in front of him.

The man wore dark red battle armor with an ancient and complex design.

A scaly tail emerged from her battle skirt, beneath which lay a fierce face covered in secret patterns, beneath a pair of fiery red horns.

As expected of an avatar of slaughter, it truly exudes a murderous aura!

Luo Xia was shocked. When his gaze fell on the man, it was as if he saw the scene at the beginning of the universe. The endless laws of the universe were running behind him, as if he had become the embodiment of the universe.

"Rorschach?"

A voice seemed to resonate deep within one's soul.

When Luo Xia came to his senses and looked at the man again, he found that the scene he had seen earlier had disappeared.

"Luo Xia greets the City Lord." Luo Xia hurriedly bowed.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly, looked at Luo Xia, and said, "You are quite bold, daring to create a world within your body at the planetary level. You are also very lucky, otherwise my human race would have lost a peerless genius."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Guiyi, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, did he create this small world within his body himself? I thought he had obtained some kind of opportunity to possess such a small world within his body."

The Lord of Chaos City said, "He opened it up on his own... However, Luo Xia's success was due to too many coincidences. What surprised me the most was his ability to comprehend the innate secret technique of the Golden Horned Beast clan. This comprehension is truly the best among our human race."

Luo Xia blinked, feeling rather helpless.

He knew that his secrets couldn't be hidden from these big shots.

Venerable Guiyi was surprised again, "The Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique?"

He pondered for a moment, then glanced at Luo Xia and said, "Oh. One of the secret techniques he used in the Trial Tower is indeed the same as the enhancement secret technique of the Golden Horned Beast clan."

He asked with great interest, "Junior brother, besides the Golden Horned Beast's enhancement techniques, what other techniques have you learned? I remember the Golden Horned Beast has a very powerful clone technique."

"I've also learned the clone technique," Luo Xia nodded and said. "However, the technique I learned is somewhat different from the Golden Horned Beast's technique. Because it doesn't have the Golden Horned Beast's original core, the clone dies completely after it dies."

Venerable Guiyi laughed in surprise and said:

"Junior brother, you're truly amazing! That innate secret technique was bestowed by the primordial universe; it's something you're born with. Outsiders simply can't learn or comprehend it. Yet you were able to forcibly comprehend and learn it. In your Earthly terms, that's truly defying the heavens!"

After learning that his teacher wanted to take Rorschach as his disciple, Venerable Guiyi looked up information about Rorschach and learned a lot about Earth's culture.

When they speak at this time, they often show a sense of intimacy.

After thinking for a moment, Venerable Guiyi said, "The Golden Horned Beast's innate ability to create clones is centered around its inner world. Is that why you opened up your inner world at the planetary level?"

As expected of the Supreme Being of the Universe, he had almost figured out the principle before I even said much.

Luo Xia admired him and said, "Second Senior Brother is right."

Venerable Guiyi then said, "So your secret technique for enlarging your body and amplifying your combat power is also a secret technique of the Golden Horned Beast? It just looks a little different..."

Venerable Guiyi had also seen the Golden Horned Beast.

He naturally knew about the various talents and secret techniques possessed by the Golden Horned Beast.

"That secret technique is called 'Law of Heaven and Earth,' which I created by comprehending and referencing the Golden Horned Beast's 'Original Heaven and Earth' secret technique."

"Rorschach said."

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the greatest comprehension among our human race! To be able to create such a powerful secret technique at the Hengxing level, your secret technique is top-tier even among humans!"

The Venerable Guiyi praised it.

"Senior brother, you flatter me," Luo Xia said modestly.

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City looked at Luo Xia and said, "Your comprehension and talent are exceptionally high; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you are the strongest in the history of humanity. Would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

"This disciple is willing," Luo Xia quickly replied.

Lord of Chaos City, disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, one of the most powerful beings in humanity!

In the original story, Luo Feng was observed for over three thousand years before being formally accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City.

Rorschach's success was also due to his exceptionally high level of comprehension.

Otherwise, the Chaos City Lord would at most make Luo Xia a nominal disciple.

The Lord of Chaos City said, "Now that you have become my disciple, you may stay in Chaos City for the time being. As for the various resources you need for cultivation, I will have them sent to you."

After a slight pause, the Lord of Chaos City continued, "You may leave Chaos City only after you reach the Realm Lord level."

Luo Xia was taken aback. "World Lord level?"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded. "Your name has probably spread throughout the entire universe. Other alien races will definitely try every means to eliminate you. Only within Chaos City can I guarantee your safety. If you leave Chaos City, I'm afraid it won't be long before you perish."

Rorschach scratched his head. "Is it that scary?"

He hadn't expected that simply crossing the Tongtian Bridge would lead to his death. This universe is too terrifying!

"Now that you have become my disciple, as your teacher, I will naturally provide you with some cultivation resources. Therefore, I will give you twenty opportunities to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele. You may enter and study it at any time while you are in this Chaos City."

"That's what the Lord of Chaos City said."

Luo Xia blinked and bowed to the Lord of Chaos City, saying, "Thank you, Teacher!"

He originally had twelve opportunities to comprehend the truth after passing through the eighteen levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

Now, with the 20 extra chances given by Chaos City, you'll have 32 chances!

Don't be fooled by the seemingly ordinary 20 chances; many Chaos Monuments' Bridge to Heaven offers up to 21 chances.

Rorschach has 20 extra times.

They've made an incredible fortune!

"Alright, you can leave now. If you have any questions, you can ask your ninth senior brother or second senior brother first. If they can't help you, then come to me."

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand.

"Master, this disciple takes his leave."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia bowed respectfully.

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xia and Venerable Guiyi disappeared into the vast world.

They appeared outside the courtyard of Chaos Ruins.

Venerable Guiyi smiled at Luo Xia and said, "Junior Brother, work hard. If there's anything you don't understand, just come to the City Lord's Mansion and ask me. I will answer everything I know."

"Thank you, senior brother." Luo Xia cupped his hands in thanks.

Venerable Guiyi smiled and vanished into thin air.

Luo Xia murmured softly, "A World Lord level, huh..."

It seems he will have to stay in this initial universe for a rather long time.

Now, the only thing he cares about is his family.

However, Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were taken care of by Luo Hua, who bought them all sorts of precious treasures to improve their strength and physical condition. Even after a hundred years, they did not look old; on the contrary, they grew younger with each passing year.

He, on the other hand, doesn't have to experience the grief of losing a loved one.

With his family on his mind, Luo Xia returned to his residence and found that his elder brother Luo Feng was still there.

"elder brother."

"Xia, where did you go? I sent you a message but it doesn't show up."

Luo Feng asked.

Luo Xia said, "Just now, Venerable Golden Axe came to see the Lord of Chaos City. By the way, I have now become the Lord of Chaos's teacher."

Luo Feng was taken aback, then exclaimed happily, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Luo Xia then said, "But brother, I might not be able to leave Chaos City with you."

Luo Feng frowned and asked, "Why?"

"My teacher said that my name has spread throughout the universe, and if I leave Chaos City, I may encounter misfortune. Therefore, I must not leave here before I become a world lord."

Luo Xia said helplessly.

"Huh?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise, "His name is known throughout the universe? Leaving Chaos City will lead to misfortune?"

Babata then appeared and explained, "This is quite normal. When my boss and I were adventuring in the universe, we heard stories of human geniuses who were assassinated by alien races and perished."

She looked at Luo Xia and smiled proudly, "Luo Xia is now an absolute human genius! The news that he passed the eighteen levels of the Heavenly Bridge today will definitely spread, and those alien races will not allow Luo Xia to grow up like this!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng frowned and said, "Is it really that dangerous...?"

He pondered for a moment, then nodded, looking at Luo Xia and saying, "I understand. Then you can stay in Chaos City without worry. Contact me in the virtual universe if anything happens!"

"Yes, I know." Rorschach nodded.
