Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 33 Giant Axe Chaos Stele

"This primordial universe is the sacred land of our human race. Chaos City is the only city in the primordial universe, a sacred land among sacred lands, and naturally has its unique features. There are also three treasures within it, which greatly aid cultivation," the black-robed envoy continued.

"You have already seen this first treasure when you came to this primordial universe. It is the omnipresent manifest law, which has a strong reference value for your understanding of the laws." The black-robed envoy pointed to the omnipresent manifest law in the void and said.

"The second treasure is similar to the engravings of insights left in the small buildings where powerful figures from past generations once lived in Chaos City. The engravings that I showed you before were recorded by some powerful figures when they were comprehending laws or secret techniques. However, most of the engravings were made casually when they had a flash of inspiration and there is no pattern to them. They can only be used as a reference for you."

"And this second treasure is a collection of carvings compiled by the strongest individuals of our human race throughout countless eras, a collection that is extremely systematic, rigorous, and of immense reference value." Speaking of this second treasure, the black-robed envoy's face was filled with longing and envy. "In my Chaos City, there are 52 such carvings, known as Chaos Steles. Each Chaos Stele records a vast number of mysterious patterns. These 52 Chaos Steles represent 52 paths to the pinnacle of cultivation in the universe. If someone can comprehend even one of these Chaos Steles, they will directly become a true super being in the universe, and even establishing another cosmic kingdom will be a piece of cake."

Hearing that one could easily create a universe kingdom by comprehending a Chaos Stele, all the geniuses present breathed heavily, as if the scene of creating a universe kingdom and controlling the life and death of trillions of beings was right before their eyes.

Yan Yong, on the other hand, was considering which Chaos Stele to choose. With his extraordinary spatial talent, choosing the Nine Universes Chaos Stele was undoubtedly the best option.

"As for the third treasure, it is located outside the city. There is a detailed description on the stone tablet at the city gate. You can go and see it for yourselves when you have time."

Yan Yong already knew that the third treasure was the Chaos Beast. Killing the Chaos Beast would grant him the Chaos True Spirit. As long as he absorbed the Chaos True Spirit into his body, his soul would undergo some changes and become more compatible with the universe, which would help him comprehend the laws.

The soul of an immortal being has become an eternal existence and merged with the divine body of its respective law attribute, so absorbing the Chaos True Spirit is ineffective. The Chaos True Spirit is only effective for those below the immortal level, and it is unknown whether its soul, which has been strengthened by the supreme rules, can still be enhanced by the Chaos True Spirit.

"Every cultivator who enters the initial universe for the first time can choose one of the deities to study, and can only choose one. Each study session will last for seven days," the black-robed envoy continued.

"Seven days?"

The group of young cosmic-level powerhouses were all surprised. In terms of the lifespan of cosmic-level powerhouses, seven days was undoubtedly a very short time. Usually, a period of seclusion would last for several months.

"Each Chaos Stele is a supreme treasure of our human race. Countless super-powerful individuals are queuing up to comprehend the Chaos Steles. The time allotted for each comprehension session is extremely precious, so it's impossible to allow any one person to comprehension for an extended period." The black-robed envoy pressed down on the commotion, silencing the crowd. "Each Chaos Stele represents a path to the heavens, explaining the fundamental laws of the universe more clearly and systematically than any secret technique. Seven days of comprehension time is more than enough for you."

"Come in, all of you. Follow me to prepare to observe the Chaos Stele and then make your choices." The black-robed envoy led the group into the city lord's mansion.

……

The black-robed messenger led the crowd to a corridor filled with a dreamlike atmosphere. The corridor was decorated with all sorts of strange carvings, emanating waves of special laws.

"The 52 rubbings hanging in the corridor are from the 52 Chaos Steles. Take a good look at these rubbings. Although these pictures cannot help you comprehend the laws like the real Chaos Steles, they can still give you a slight sense of benefit. Feel these 52 rubbings and then choose the Chaos Stele that best suits you," the receptionist said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yong began to examine each of the Chaos Steles one by one, knowing that he only had half an hour to do so.

Although he believed that the Nine Universe Chaos Stele was the most suitable for him with his spatial talent, he naturally wanted to experience the other Chaos Steles one by one now that he had the opportunity, just in case there was one that was more suitable.

Yan Yong walked through the pictures one by one, each picture holding a different attraction for him. He gained different insights from each picture, especially the raindrop picture of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele. He had previously comprehended the 108 mysterious essences of space in "Blood Flowing" and "Time and Space Notes". At this moment, the secret of the first picture was no secret to him.

"As expected, choosing the Nine Universes Chaos Stele is the most suitable choice for my spatial talent." Yan Yong lingered in front of the rubbing of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele for a while before moving on to the next image.

"What is this?" Just as Yan Yong was about to finish looking at all the Chaos Stele rubbings, the unknown fighting spirit within him began to stir once again.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" A powerful, ancient battle cry resounded from Yan Yong's chest, and a surging battle intent swept over him. The geniuses around him, who were only at the cosmic level, were almost forced to their knees by this battle intent. This was only a slight stirring of 'battle intent,' which Yan Yong deliberately controlled to avoid being suppressed.

The black-robed envoy reacted quickly, opening his domain of laws to block the oppressive force and protect the cosmic-level genius within. Although he couldn't recognize what this powerful aura was, he could tell that Yan Yong had encountered a Chaos Stele that was perfectly suited to him, so he didn't interrupt him but let the other cosmic-level geniuses continue to choose Chaos Steles.

"Could there be a Chaos Stele here that can react to this 'Battle Intent'?" Yan Yong had previously activated this Battle Intent unintentionally due to emotional turmoil on his way to the extraterrestrial battlefield, and later activated it again during his first battle due to emotional excitement—both times passively. The first time he actively activated it was when he killed Wan Qiong, who was at the limit of the King-Sealing Realm, in the Inheritance Secret Realm, and successfully activated it using the Supreme Secret Technique Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, which raised his combat power by another level.

Besides, he could not stimulate this fighting spirit by any other means. So, he was naturally very excited to encounter the Chaos Stele that could trigger this fighting spirit. This meant that he had the opportunity to fully master this ability.

Guided by the "War Spirit," Yan Yong arrived at a Chaos Monument.

On the Chaos Stele were nine seemingly chaotic axe marks. Although they appeared to be randomly slashed by the owner of the axe, the wild fighting spirit and indomitable will contained within them were palpable.

"Thump thump thump." As Yan Yong arrived before the Chaos Stele, his fighting spirit surged even more fiercely.

"Hoo." Yan Yong let out a long breath, suppressing the surging fighting spirit within him. Now that he had found his target, there was no need to continue to radiate this aura and affect others' visit to the Chaos Stele.

"The spatial secrets can be understood through the 'Time and Space Notes,' and you can find a good teacher to guide you. But the 'Battle Intent' can only be comprehended from this Chaos Stele. You can't expect to become a disciple of the Giant Axe Founder and have him guide you, can you?" Yan Yong pondered, looking at the rubbing of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele in front of him.

The half-hour selection period quickly came to an end, and the black-robed messenger gathered everyone together to begin registering each person's chosen Chaos Stele.

"Which Chaos Stele do you choose?" the black-robed messenger asked Yan Yong as he approached.

"The Giant Axe Chaos Stele," Yan Yong said firmly.

The black-robed messenger uploaded Yan Yong's choice to the virtual universe system via the intelligent optical brain on his arm.

……

"Hahaha, I didn't expect this little guy to actually have some kind of connection with me." In the Chaos Ruins, a wild man with disheveled hair and a wild aura said to the Chaos City Lord beside him, "He actually has a special feeling for my giant axe Chaos Stele, and although the intent on his body is still relatively weak, I can foresee that he will definitely be extraordinary in the future, just like the ultimate axe technique that I pursue."

"However, the master also intends to take him as a disciple. Giant Axe, you can't compete with the master for a disciple." The Chaos City Lord didn't expect the other party to be so compatible with Giant Axe's Dao, but since his master had already spoken, he still tried to persuade him.

"Hahaha, since the Primordial Ancestor noticed this kid long ago and was preparing to take him as his disciple, I naturally won't compete with him. Without his guidance, I probably wouldn't be where I am today." Although there was no formal master-disciple relationship between the Primordial Ancestor and the Primordial Ancestor, the Primordial Ancestor had given him guidance, so they could be considered to have a master-disciple bond. Given his character, he would never do something like stealing his teacher's disciple.

Today's first chapter: Yesterday was incredibly busy. Not only did I work overtime, but I also made a few mistakes and almost lost my job.
