Heaven and Earth Change Color

“I choose the 'Dragon Walk Chaos Tablet'.”

“I choose the 'Wind Shadow Chaos Tablet'.”

The black-robed envoy moved from the outermost part of the corridor inwards, asking each genius for their choice. Luo Feng, standing in the crowd behind, frowned. His gaze swept over the 52 paintings. To be honest, he felt a strong connection to at least 38 of them, finding them captivating. This included the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet,' which, while enthralling, followed a complex evolutionary path.

“Which one is most suitable for me?”

Luo Feng looked at a painting far to his left, then at another near him on his right. The one far away was the 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet,' his favorite from earlier. The one nearby was the 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet,' which he had viewed last. When Luo Feng observed the 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet,' he felt a surge of excitement, believing it was perfectly suited for wielding the Yanshen Blade. With slight modifications, he could even derive close-quarters combat techniques from it.

As for the 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet,' Luo Feng saw...

...sets of blade techniques subtly emerging in his mind. Those 10,081 blade marks seemed to encapsulate the pinnacle of blade mastery.

“Which one should I choose?” Luo Feng frowned.

He wanted to cultivate both.

The 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet' was more suited for the Yanshen Blade, while the 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet' was better for blade techniques. Of course, his current strength was still weak; he had only glimpsed the merest surface of these two profound Chaos Tablets, which contained incredibly mysterious grand dao. One must remember that all 52 Chaos Tablets led to the ultimate grand dao.

Logically, every Chaos Tablet could yield both close-quarters combat and long-range attack methods.

“Here he comes.” Luo Feng turned to look.

The black-robed envoy had already recorded over seven hundred people and was now standing beside Luo Feng, looking up at him.

“Which one do you choose?” the black-robed envoy asked.

“I choose the 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet',” Luo Feng said seriously.

The black-robed envoy nodded, and the screen on his arm instantly recorded the choice. Then, he turned to ask another person nearby...

“Although the 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet' and the 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet' are both my favorites, and my close-quarters combat ability improves quickly, my strongest aspect is undoubtedly long-range attacks! My current improvement in close-quarters combat is merely a result of my Demon Killer Clan clone cultivating the 'Shadow Secret Manual.' A true powerhouse doesn't need to be strong in everything. Being strong in everything means not being truly exceptional in any single area.”

Strengthen your advantages!

Continuously strengthen your advantages, turning them into absolute superiority! That is the mark of a true powerhouse.

“Moreover, the 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet' begins with entry into the Origin Law of Gold. The 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet,' however, starts with entry into the Origin Law of Space.” Among the various Origin Laws, Time and Space are undoubtedly the two strongest. If he had to choose, he would pick the stronger one.

...

After the black-robed envoy reached the end of the corridor and finished recording, he turned around and smiled, “I have sent out your choices. Follow me.”

Luo Feng and the other 1,000 individuals followed the black-robed envoy, continuing deeper into the City Lord's Mansion. A moment later, they arrived at a vast training hall within the mansion. The training hall was incredibly spacious, tens of kilometers long and wide. An ordinary person on Earth wouldn't be able to see its end, but Luo Feng and the others could see everything clearly.

In the vast training hall,

The 1,000 people gathered, with the black-robed envoy standing before them.

“Currently, out of the 52 Chaos Tablet comprehension chambers, 12 are occupied, and the other 40 are empty.” The black-robed envoy looked at the group before him. “Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Tablets...”

“'Yan Shan Chaos Tablet,' 'Heart Scar Chaos Tablet,'...” The black-robed envoy quickly rattled off the names of the forty Chaos Tablets.

“Those who chose these 40 Chaos Tablets, proceed directly to the leftmost entrance ahead. You will be assigned to individual chambers.” The black-robed envoy pointed into the distance, to an entrance nearly thirty meters high at the far left end of the training hall. “You may go now.”

Immediately, at least eight hundred of the thousand young individuals transformed into streaks of light and departed. Only a little over a hundred young people remained in the training hall.

“The 139 of you, please wait,” the black-robed envoy said. “The Chaos Tablets you chose are currently being comprehended by others. When someone is comprehending, it is absolutely forbidden to open the chamber and disturb them. Therefore... you can enter once others have finished their comprehension. The longest any of you 139 will have to wait is three days.”

“In that case, you can go up to the City Lord's Mansion's battlements first,” the black-robed envoy pointed ahead. “They are over there. You can cultivate there for now. I will notify you when it's your turn.”

...

Luo Feng, the savage Rongjun, and the other 139 young men and women could only head to the City Lord's Mansion's battlements.

“How unlucky.”

“Out of 52 Chaos Tablets, only 12 are currently being comprehended, and we happen to be among those who have to wait.” As they walked, the hundred-plus young people felt a bit helpless. The savage Rongjun smiled at Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, you and I are truly brothers in misfortune. We both made it into the top ten, both fell in the top five elimination rounds, and now, even when choosing Chaos Tablets, we both encounter occupied ones.”

“Indeed,” Luo Feng nodded, then asked, “Which one did you choose?”

“Me? The 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet',” the savage Rongjun replied.

“Rongjun, I also chose the 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet'!” Wuka, the young man from Manka Star, who was talking to others, called out. He ran over and whispered, “Luo Feng, Rongjun, do you know who left behind this 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet'?”

Each Chaos Tablet was left behind by a truly peak-level super-existence in the history of the human race in the universe.

The 52 Chaos Tablets became treasures of humanity.

“Who?” Rongjun asked.

“Is it related to the Giant Axe Martial Arena?” Luo Feng's heart stirred as he inquired.

“Yes!” Wuka nodded repeatedly, lowering his voice. “This 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet' was left by the founder of the 'Giant Axe Martial Arena,' one of the five great powers. It contains incredible power; if one fully comprehends it, it's simply... simply defying the heavens! You would become the most supreme existence in the entire universe.”

“The founder of the Giant Axe Martial Arena?” Luo Feng and Rongjun exchanged glances.

Good heavens.

The five great behemoths of the human race in the universe!

If one were to rank these five behemoths, a small detail reveals the hierarchy: the entire human universe, comprising 1008 Cosmic Nations, holds two genius battles every ten thousand years. One is organized by the Virtual Universe Company, and the other by the Giant Axe Martial Arena. The most outstanding geniuses are selected by these two. The Universe First Bank, Cosmic River Bank, and Cosmic Mercenary Alliance do not do this.

Which of these five behemoths is stronger?

The Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arena naturally hold a slight advantage!

And as the founder of the Giant Axe Martial Arena, his status was far higher than that of the lords of the 1008 Cosmic Nations.

“Hehe, that's why I chose the 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet',” Wuka said proudly. “And among the Sector Lords and Immortals, the 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet' is also the most popular choice.”

“Haha,” Rongjun laughed.

Luo Feng pursed his lips.

“Of course, the other 52 Chaos Tablets are also extraordinary; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to stand alongside the 'Giant Axe Chaos Tablet',” Wuka consoled Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, diligently comprehend that 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet.' You still have a very promising future.” As he spoke, Wuka himself covered his stomach and chuckled.

“You rascal,” Luo Feng shook his head.

...

On the battlements of the City Lord's Mansion,

Luo Feng and the hundred-plus young people stood on the battlements, gazing into the distance.

It was too vast.

The entire Chaos City was enormous. As for the distant areas outside Chaos City, they were a blurry, chaotic expanse, impossible to discern clearly. Primarily, the entire Primal Universe contained a massive amount of chaotic airflow, which prevented one from seeing too far.

“So comfortable.”

“This Primal Universe is so much more comfortable than the Original Universe.”

The group of young people discussed animatedly.

Luo Feng also felt it; upon arriving in the Primal Universe, his entire body felt incredibly comfortable, from the inside out, from his spirit to his physical form.

“This is due to the Primal Universe itself.” A middle-aged man in a loose purple-gold robe walked over from a distance. “Are you the new batch of genius battle winners from the Virtual Universe Company?”

“Yes.”

Luo Feng and the other 139 all nodded.

“The reason you feel comfortable is because of this!” The middle-aged man pointed to the chaotic airflow drifting by. “This, we call 'chaotic energy.' Unlike the various elemental cosmic energies in the Original Universe, and somewhat different from the singular, mixed cosmic origin energy, chaotic energy is a peculiar power that nurtures all things.”

“Surrounded by chaotic energy, of course you would feel comfortable,” the middle-aged man chuckled.

Luo Feng and the others suddenly understood.

“However, this type of energy is unique to the Primal Universe,” the middle-aged man in the purple-gold robe shook his head. “Even if this energy were brought back to the Original Universe, it would immediately decompose into various other forces.”

...

As Luo Feng and the group of young people conversed with this powerful expert on the battlements,

Suddenly!

“Rumble~~~” A violent fluctuation rippled through the chaotic heavens and earth in the distance, the sound shaking the very world.

“Weitesier!!!”

A furious roar echoed throughout Chaos City. A terrifying lightning power instantly pierced through tens of thousands of miles, causing the powerful experts on the rooftops of their cultivation residences within Chaos City to open their eyes and look into the distance.

Luo Feng and his group, their faces pale under the pressure of that immense power, stood shocked on the battlements, gazing into the distance.

In the distance—

A colossal Minotaur, clad in ancient bronze armor, like a deity between heaven and earth, held a giant axe comparable to his own size. He swung the bloody giant axe directly at a super-existence fleeing, whose entire body had transformed into lightning. That lightning power was precisely what the super-existence emitted as it escaped.

Silence.

Luo Feng and the others were completely awestruck by the aura of those two super-existences in the distance.

“They dare to fight in Chaos City?” The middle-aged man in the purple-gold robe looked into the distance, astonished. “Weitesier, why is that Minotaur so foolish?”
