Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 117 Outside Chaos City

Luo Shen has made it through the seventh level of the Sky Bridge!

This news quickly spread throughout the entire Virtual Universe Company, and even the other four of the five major forces heard about it.

After all, most of the senior members in this batch of cosmic-level core members are still hovering around the sixth or seventh level.

Initially, many company executives felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for the Chaos City Lord to so easily accept Luo Shen as his personal disciple. After all, apart from passing through the seven trial towers of the Genius Battle, Luo Shen had no other achievements, and it was still unknown whether his talent was just a flash in the pan.

But now.

All the pessimists have shut up.

Upon entering Chaos City, he was able to pass the seventh level on his first attempt at crossing the Heavenly Bridge. Such talent is comparable to the most extraordinary geniuses in human history, making him worthy of being the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

The Primordial Universe, the Chaos City Lord's Mansion.

In the Chaos Ruins.

Venerable Guiyi was standing beside the Lord of Chaos City at this moment.

The Lord of Chaos City laughed, "It seems Luo Shen's intrusion has silenced quite a few rumors. Hmph, those who said I shouldn't have taken Luo Shen as my disciple are all short-sighted!"

Venerable Guiyi responded from the side, "It's normal for them to have some concerns since they haven't met Junior Brother Luo Shen before."

That being said.

But both Venerable Guiyi and Lord Chaos City knew the truth.

Jealousy is the original sin!

After all, as the ruler of the Virtual Universe Company, the Lord of Chaos City wields power second only to the founder of the Giant Axe in the entire human race. In addition, the Lord of Chaos City has always been fair in his dealings, which is why those high-ranking officials dared to voice their doubts.

If it were any other universe ruler, they wouldn't dare utter a single word.

"Just watch, this kid Luo Shen is definitely more than just a performer."

The Lord of Chaos City gazed into the distance, as if trying to see Luo Shen, who was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop of a cultivation residence, comprehending the fundamental laws, while thinking about Luo Shen's performance when he first entered Chaos City.

"Little guy, you seem to have quite a few secrets."

***********

Outside the Chaos City Lord's Mansion, on the third-floor rooftop of Luo Shen's residence.

"I've finally digested all the insights and lessons I gained from this trip across the Heavenly Bridge. I'm already more than halfway through mastering the 40th sword technique. In another month or so, I should be able to fully comprehend it."

Luo Shen stretched and looked towards the outside of Chaos City.

"Having been here so long, I've been cultivating all along. It's time to go out and relax, and see the third treasure of Chaos City!"

The way of cultivation emphasizes a balance of tension and relaxation.

Whether it's studying the Chaos Stele, crossing the Heavenly Bridge, or comprehending the laws, all of these are quite mentally taxing. It's rare to have time now, so it's a good opportunity to go out for a walk and relax.

Head towards the nearest Chaos City gate.

The ancient city walls of Chaos City stretch endlessly, as far as the eye can see.

Because the Lord of Chaos City was stationed in the initial universe, there was no need to worry about invasion by external enemies. Therefore, the gate of Chaos City was basically just for show, always open, and powerful figures could be seen going out or entering from time to time.

Luo Shen walked to the city gate.

Looking ahead, the vast, desolate wilderness stretched to the distant horizon, shrouded in chaotic currents.

My gaze was drawn to the enormous stone tablet on the left side of the city gate. The tablet was covered with densely packed universal language characters, describing the third treasure of Chaos City—the Chaos True Spirit.

The so-called Three Treasures.

It refers to the external laws of operation in the initial universe, the 52 Chaos Steles in the Chaos City Lord's Mansion, and the Chaos True Spirit contained in the Chaos Beast outside Chaos City!

The initial universe was in a state of undisturbed evolution, so it was filled with a large amount of chaotic air currents.

In this situation, some strange creatures will naturally emerge, and these strangely-looking creatures are named "Chaos Beasts" by the powerful humans!

Chaos Beasts are naturally adept at harmonizing with the fundamental laws.

Therefore, after the Chaos Beasts are killed, their corpses will be corroded into a large amount of chaotic energy and a kind of emerald green light spots in a very short time.

And this point of light is the core of the Chaos Beast, namely the 'Chaos True Spirit'!

The function of the Chaos True Spirit is to enable the soul of the absorber to undergo a transformation, thereby making it more compatible with the universe and naturally making the perception of the origin of the universe clearer.

After all, only with each major leap can the essence of the soul change.

This further highlights the preciousness of the Chaos True Spirit!

but.

Although the Chaos True Spirit is a good thing, it is not easy to obtain.

Chaos Beasts are unintelligent, even more foolish than the ferocious beasts of the universe, but their strength is extremely powerful!

They have everything from the cosmic level to the realm master level!

Fortunately, the area surrounding Chaos City has been divided into three levels by super strong individuals, corresponding to the three strength levels of Chaos Beasts: Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level.

The further away from Chaos City you are, the stronger the Chaos Beasts become!

Moreover, Chaos Beasts have extremely strong senses, especially when there are a large number of them in the same area. If a battle breaks out and you don't evacuate in time, you will be surrounded by a large number of Chaos Beasts.

If you're not careful, you could get surrounded and be instantly killed!

This is not a virtual universe.

Once you're killed, you're really dead!

In the primordial universe, chaotic currents swirled, making it impossible for the naked eye to see very far.

On the vast wilderness, weeds grow rampant. This wilderness, which has existed for who knows how many years, is fundamentally different from the matter in the original universe, even the nameless weeds and the scattered rocks that can be seen everywhere.

Nurtured by the chaotic energy over the years, these rocks share a common characteristic—they will not decay no matter how long they exist!

Fully armed, Luo Shen proceeded cautiously.

rustle--

"Hmm?" Lin Nan's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately stopped, hiding in the shadow of a rock.

suddenly.

A dark figure emerged from the weeds ahead.

It was a bear-like creature, about five meters tall, with thick, hairy arms and a smooth, hairless face covered in intricate patterns. A single brown vertical pupil on its forehead inspired awe.

It has a long tail that stands tall and shakes from time to time.

Within this area, the strongest Chaos Beasts are no more than cosmic level, so Luo Shen doesn't need to worry about his safety.

I'm hesitating whether or not to take action.

However, at that moment...

The Chaos Beast suddenly turned its head to look at the rock where Luo Shen was. Its vertical pupil on its forehead suddenly burst out with overwhelming anger and killing intent. It stomped its feet on the ground and instantly turned into a blur as it rushed in front of Luo Shen.

"boom!!"

A pair of enormous hands arrived first, covering the sky and the sun, determined to completely suppress Luo Shen!

"His perception is indeed keen."

Luo Shen frowned, but remained calm. He shifted his feet and instantly unleashed his movement technique, tracing a perfect arc as he charged straight at the Chaos Beast, the Ghostly Blade in his hand revealing its formidable power!

"kill!!"

A cold glint suddenly appeared!

"Bang!" The brown bear Chaos Beast completely disregarded the sharpness of the Ghostly Blade.

laugh! !

The power of this strike clearly exceeded the Chaos Beast's expectations. With a splash of emerald blood, the brown bear Chaos Beast's arms were instantly flung off and severed into several pieces.

The fiery red blade then swept upwards, severing his head completely!

Boom!

The brown bear Chaos Beast collapsed to the ground. As it fell, its emerald blood, fur, bones, and flesh began to gradually decay, assimilating with the surrounding chaotic energy. At the same time, a emerald green light rose up.

"The True Spirit of Chaos!" Luo Shen's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly used his primal force to envelop it.

laugh!

The moment the Force touched the Chaos Spirit, the Chaos Spirit began to gradually dissolve.

"This place is not safe to stay for long."

He directly absorbed the Chaos True Spirit into his inner world, and then Luo Shen quickly stepped on the illusion, turning into a perfect arc, and disappeared from the spot.

"Rumble~~"

really!

Not long after Luo Shen's figure disappeared, the surrounding air currents suddenly trembled.

"roar!"

"roar!"

One after another, tall Chaos Beasts with bent bodies, clearly of the same kind as the Brown Bear Chaos Beast, emerged from the grass from all directions like lightning. At first glance, there were at least several hundred of them!

Nearly half of the Chaos Beasts possessed an aura far stronger than the previous one.

With lingering fear, Luo Shen glanced at the commotion behind him, but without stopping, he fled into the distance, only stopping when he was completely out of the area.

"really!"

"Hunting Chaos Beasts should be like a sniper assassination: one shot, one kill, and then flee far away. Otherwise, if the surrounding Chaos Beasts react in time, they will be surrounded and killed."

First update delivered.

My recent writing has felt a bit strange; I wonder if I've hit a creative block.
