Chaos True Spirit

“What?” Luo Feng was shocked. “You mean quite a few people have died?”

“Yes.” Rong Jun shook his head. “When I first found out, I was as shocked as you. But after I went outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts, it stopped being strange. And do you remember? What that Venerable said when we were first sent to the Primal Universe aboard the spaceship.”

Luo Feng recalled that scene and nodded, “I remember.”

When that purple-scaled man in a cyan battle robe brought the 1,000 geniuses, he said, “You are those I’ve guided; I hope to see all of you alive in 30 years.” Hearing that, Luo Feng had already guessed... there might be some dangers in Chaos City. But after truly staying in Chaos City for a while, he felt quite safe.

It felt like a sacred place for cultivators to comprehend.

Killing among humans is forbidden here! Anyone who kills will surely die. Even if they attack but don’t kill... they will face severe punishment.

Moreover, looking at the scenes of numerous powerhouses diligently cultivating on the rooftops, he only felt an atmosphere of arduous cultivation and comprehension, without the slightest sense of danger.

“It truly is very dangerous.”

Rong Jun said solemnly, “Don’t be careless. Those Chaos Beasts are not to be trifled with. The 1,000 geniuses who came this time all received bonuses and free points from the Virtual Universe Company. The minimum bonus was 10 Primal Units, and points can be exchanged for valuable items. Who doesn’t have some trump cards?”

Luo Feng frowned slightly and nodded. Things weren’t looking good.

These geniuses are not easy to deal with, yet quite a few have still died. This ‘Chaos True Spirit’ is a good thing, but it’s not easy to obtain.

“The most lethal thing is their sheer numbers. Even if you bring thermal weapons and advanced spaceships, you can be instantly killed if you’re not careful and get surrounded.” Rong Jun said solemnly, “I warn you, be cautious first. This is the real world, not the Virtual Universe Network. Once you die here, it’s truly over.”

“Understood.” Luo Feng held his breath.

Watching Rong Jun leave, Luo Feng was somewhat unsettled by his words and couldn’t help but turn back to look at the stone tablet.

“...The more compatible the soul is with the universe, the clearer the comprehension of the universe’s origin will be.

A Sector Lord becoming an Immortal is a fundamental transformation of the soul.

However, absorbing Chaos True Spirit is a gradual, slow transformation, with a small degree of change. The souls of Immortal beings are already eternal, so absorbing Chaos True Spirit is ineffective. Chaos True Spirit is only effective for those ‘below Immortal’.

Point one: Immortals are forbidden from attacking Chaos Beasts.

Point two: Chaos Beasts have low intelligence and have been divided into three zones by Chaos City’s super powerhouses. The first zone, closest to Chaos City, within approximately 2,000 kilometers of Chaos City’s walls, is entirely populated by Universe Level Chaos Beasts. This is the inner layer. The second zone, from 2,000 kilometers to 10,000 kilometers from Chaos City’s walls, is the middle layer, inhabited by Domain Lord Level Chaos Beasts. The third zone, the outermost layer, consists entirely of Sector Lord Level Chaos Beasts.

Chaos Beasts’ strength primarily ranges from Universe Level to Sector Lord Level. Should an Immortal Level Chaos Beast be discovered, Chaos City will dispatch powerhouses to eliminate it.

Point three: Domain Lord Level comprehenders may only hunt Chaos Beasts in the middle layer and are forbidden from appearing in the inner layer. Sector Lords may only hunt Chaos Beasts in the outer layer and are forbidden from appearing in the inner or middle layers!”

After reading the contents of the stone tablet, Luo Feng fell silent.

“Damn it! It’s clearly for nurturing the younger generation.” Babata exclaimed, “These Chaos Beasts are all divided into three zones. With Chaos City’s power, they could instantly kill all the Chaos Beasts, but they didn’t... instead, they’re raising them! And Domain Lords can only be in the middle layer, Sector Lords only in the outer layer. Clearly, the innermost layer is reserved for you all.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Chaos City is a sacred place for the cosmic human race.

Many arrangements here are for cultivating generations of powerhouses, ensuring humanity’s eternal prosperity. Allowing young people to venture out and fight Chaos Beasts is clearly to temper the younger generation... Flowers in a greenhouse ultimately have limited prospects. Although 30 years in Chaos City is relatively safe, a slight sense of crisis is good, as it benefits the development of the younger generation.

“Chaos Beast!” Luo Feng’s mind stirred. The dark red battle suit on his body rapidly extended, forming a helmet, completely enveloping him in the Moyun Battle Armor, with only his eyes visible.

“Let’s go see what these things are.” Clad in a dark red battle armor, Luo Feng stepped onto his Dark Cloud Shuttle, with a dark golden long staff on his back.

...Chaos currents drifted, making it impossible to see far with the naked eye.

On the vast wilderness, weeds grew rampant. On this ancient plain, even the nameless weeds and scattered rocks were fundamentally different from matter in the original universe. Nurtured by the Chaos Qi year after year, these scattered rocks all shared one characteristic.

No matter how long they existed, they would not decay.

Luo Feng advanced cautiously.

Shhh~~

“Hmm?” His ears twitched, and he immediately descended, hiding behind a scattered rock, carefully observing ahead.

From the distant weeds, a dark shadow emerged. It was an ape-like creature, about three meters tall. Its body was hunched, and its long arms reached the ground. Besides white fur, its face only had a single brown vertical eye and a mouth, but no nose or ears. Its tail stood high, twitching slightly.

“What’s its strength?” Luo Feng mentally contacted Babata.

“I don’t know. There’s no such creature as a ‘Chaos Beast’ in the original universe, so its aura... I can’t determine what level of strength it represents.” Babata said.

“Oh.” Luo Feng nodded.

The ape-like Chaos Beast running in the distance, its tail, held high like a radar, suddenly paused. It abruptly turned its head towards Luo Feng’s direction, and its single vertical eye instantly erupted with rage and killing intent. Boom! With a fierce flick of its raised tail, the Chaos Beast instantly transformed into an afterimage, appearing before Luo Feng, its massive palm reaching out to grab him.

“Go!” Luo Feng, stepping on his Dark Cloud Shuttle, retreated while mentally controlling his weapon.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nine golden lights instantly rose from behind Luo Feng. Simultaneously, six of them shot directly towards the charging Chaos Beast.

“Roar~~” The ape-like Chaos Beast flicked its tail again, strangely creating a series of afterimages, managing to dodge three of the golden swords. “Clang! Clang! Clang!” With three consecutive crisp sounds, the Chaos Beast’s sharp claws seemed to simply swipe, directly batting away three of Luo Feng’s golden swords.

As the golden swords were sent flying...

“Sky Sword Style!” Luo Feng frowned.

Instantly, the surrounding area was enveloped in golden waves. Nine golden swords hovered, directly forming a Sword Domain. Compared to when he first challenged the Sky-Reaching Bridge, his current Sword Domain was clearly more orderly. At the very least, there were no longer those chaotic, scattered sword qi; they had become very organized.

With a dazzling golden rainbow, one of the golden swords, carrying the concentrated power of countless sword qi from the Sword Domain, instantly stabbed towards the Chaos Beast.

“Roar!” After the Chaos Beast let out a ferocious roar, its raised furry tail flicked, accelerating as if to escape. It seemed to sense the immense power of this attack, but how could its speed compare to the attack speed of the Yan Shen Weapon?

“Boom!” The Chaos Beast, unable to escape in time, slammed its fists into the sword rainbow.

With a loud bang, the Chaos Beast’s thick arms exploded directly. Golden blood splattered, flesh and bone flew everywhere, and the golden sword rainbow directly severed its head.

“Rumble~~” The ape-like Chaos Beast fell to the ground. As it fell, its golden blood, fur, flesh, and bones gradually decayed, transforming into the Chaos Qi, and at the same time, a jade-green light spot floated up.

“Chaos True Spirit!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. He immediately controlled a surge of psychic energy to envelop the light spot.

“Hiss!” The moment the psychic energy touched the Chaos True Spirit, the Chaos True Spirit began to gradually dissolve.

“Psychic energy is spiritual force, and the soul is composed of a large amount of spiritual force, so it’s not surprising that psychic energy can absorb Chaos True Spirit.” Luo Feng quickly absorbed about one-tenth of the dissolved Chaos True Spirit into his core within his body. His three bodies were not the true core; this core was the real essence.

“Rumble rumble~~~” The surrounding Chaos Qi violently vibrated.

“Roar! Roar!” One after another, Chaos Beasts of the same ape-like type, with hunched bodies and white fur and vertical eyes on their faces, suddenly flew out like lightning from the surrounding bushes. At a glance, there were at least several hundred Chaos Beasts, and judging by their auras... some were clearly much stronger than the one he had just killed.

“Not good!” Luo Feng had no intention of resisting.

“Whoosh!” A silver-white pyramid-shaped mechanical race spaceship appeared out of thin air, but these Chaos Beasts were simply too fast.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!” Dark red Moyun Vines immediately extended from Luo Feng’s body. Dozens of vines lashed out directly at the frenzied swarm of Chaos Beasts charging towards him. “Boom~~” The tall, ape-like Chaos Beast leading the charge was whipped into the air, spitting blood, but it didn’t die.

...Luo Feng rushed into the mechanical race spaceship, and the hatch closed.

“Rumble rumble~~” The swarm of Chaos Beasts outside furiously attacked the spaceship’s hull. However, this was an E-grade mechanical race spaceship; how could it be damaged by these Chaos Beasts, whose strongest were merely comparable to Universe Level Nine?

“Now I understand why a group of geniuses, each with a spaceship, each with vast wealth, and capable of acquiring powerful laser weapons and railguns, still ended up dying!”

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If not for the mechanical race spaceship, he might have escaped with the Moyun Vines, but it would have been a very messy affair.

“Hunting Chaos Beasts, yes, hunting.”

“Just like a hunter, quietly, instantly killing, absorbing its Chaos True Spirit, and then immediately fleeing.” Luo Feng thought to himself, “Its previous roar had already attracted its companions. I shouldn’t have fought it; I should have fled immediately.”

...Above Chaos City, a silver-white pyramid-shaped mechanical race spaceship appeared in mid-air. The spaceship then vanished, and Luo Feng descended into the city.

Yet, this scene didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

“In the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, mechanical race spaceships are rare and precious. But for a sacred place of the cosmic human race like Chaos City, where Immortal beings often visit, many of whom possess wealth exceeding Huyan Bo’s, a mechanical race spaceship... is simply too common.”
