Thirty Years Fleeting By

Luo Feng held deep gratitude for the Grandmaster-level Immortal before him, Zhenyan King.

"When I first arrived in Chaos City, I was merely an insignificant figure. Zhenyan King's brief guidance set me on the most correct path from the very beginning. Perhaps to him, it was just a casual pointer, but to me... it will likely influence billions of years of my future." Luo Feng respectfully knelt, following the rules of Chaos City, and under the gaze of over a thousand cultivators, he solemnly declared: "I humbly request Master to accept me as a disciple."

"I humbly request Master to accept me as a disciple!" His voice echoed.

The thousand-plus cultivators all looked at Zhenyan King.

Would he accept?

"Haha..." Zhenyan King looked at Luo Feng and laughed heartily, "From today onwards, you are my disciple, Zhenyan King's disciple!"

A stir rippled through the crowd below!

"Follow me." Zhenyan King rose, leading his group of disciples, and Luo Feng followed.

...

"What? Zhenyan King accepted Luo Feng as a disciple?" The handsome Gusiluo frowned slightly. "Now Luo Feng and Bolan both have Grandmaster-level Immortals as their masters! And Rongjun even has a Universe Nation Lord as his master. They were already ahead, and now with masters guiding them, their progress will surely be even faster!"

Gusiluo gritted his teeth: "I must seize the time and pass the third level as soon as possible, only then can I take a master!"

...

"That madman, he truly cannot be underestimated." Inside the training ground, Rongjun, drenched in sweat, muttered, "My opponents aren't just Bolan, but also Luo Feng!"

...

"Damn it! Zhenyan King took a disciple?" Prince Wuka of Manka Star could only roar in frustration, pushing himself to train even harder.

...

This group of geniuses all felt the pressure, because it wasn't easy to take an Immortal Grandmaster-level figure as a master.

First and foremost!

Passing the third level was a prerequisite. Yet, among the 1000 geniuses selected in each genius battle, only a handful could pass the first three levels within 30 years in Chaos City! In previous genius battles... often fewer than five managed to pass the first three levels. Even in a batch with an exceptionally high number of geniuses, it never exceeded 10!

Even if they passed the first three levels, those Grandmaster-level Immortals rarely accepted disciples.

These old monsters had mostly existed for hundreds of millions of years.

They would only truly accept a disciple once in a very, very long time.

...

Time flowed by, and none of these geniuses slackened. Especially when they had many targets to catch up to, these geniuses erupted with astonishing motivation.

One year, two years, three years, four years, five years...

In his 13th year in Chaos City, Rongjun passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's third level.

In his 19th year in Chaos City, Luo Feng passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's fourth level, and on that very day, Bolan passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's fifth level! The two of them far surpassed everyone else. This day also spurred Rongjun and a group of others to attempt the challenge, but no one else could break through.

In his 21st year in Chaos City, Wuka passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's third level.

In his 25th year in Chaos City, Longyun and Jialaixi passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's third level.

In his 28th year in Chaos City, Qianshui passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's third level.

...

In the blink of an eye, 30 years had passed!

...

Inside Zhenyan King's mansion in Chaos City.

"Luo Feng, you will be leaving Chaos City in ten days." Zhenyan King smiled at Luo Feng. "After you leave, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can ask me. As for other worldly affairs, I hope you can resolve them yourself. Only if you encounter truly insurmountable problems should you come to your Master again, understand?"

"Yes, Master."

The black-haired youth, still clad in his form-fitting crimson battle suit, stood there. Though he appeared slender compared to Zhenyan King and others, the subtly restrained fierce aura he exuded was startling.

Compared to when he first arrived in Chaos City 30 years ago, his youthful naivety was gone.

What remained was a fierce intensity!

It was a unique temperament formed by comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe and integrating them with his inherent character.

"Mm." Zhenyan King nodded in satisfaction. He was extremely pleased with this disciple.

"Go!" Zhenyan King said with a smile.

Luo Feng knelt heavily, causing Zhenyan King to shake his head and smile, "Rise."

"Thank you, Master, for twenty years of guidance." Luo Feng prostrated himself, "Your disciple will not disappoint Master's expectations." At this moment, Luo Feng's heart was filled with gratitude. This burly man with golden fur, resembling a golden-furred ape-man... despite his extremely high status, he treated his disciples with great warmth.

Twenty years!

How long had Luo Feng lived until now?

Although he was grateful to his previous master, Yunmo Star Master Huyan Bo, they hadn't truly spent time together. But in Chaos City, he and Zhenyan King had spent twenty years together, and over those two decades, their master-disciple bond had naturally grown very strong.

"Haha, not disappoint my expectations?" Zhenyan King stroked the fur on his chin and laughed, "My first goal for you is to enter the Primal Secret Realm! My second goal is for you to become an Immortal and be titled King! Understand?"

"Yes!" Luo Feng's reply was firm and resounding.

"Haha... In my countless years, I've accepted nearly a hundred disciples, but only your third senior brother has truly become an Immortal and been titled King." Zhenyan King said with a smile, "Now, I'm counting on you."

Luo Feng knew clearly that his Master had accepted a total of 92 disciples, 23 of whom had already perished. Currently, only 35 were following Master in Chaos City.

Some had been titled Marquis.

Only one had been titled King, his third senior brother, named 'Tie Jun,' a super powerful expert of the Nakameng Race. He had become Master's disciple a very, very long time ago. Since Master had lived for hundreds of millions of years, to be called 'third senior brother' meant he was a disciple taken over a hundred million years ago. Now, the third senior brother was an idol to all his fellow disciples.

Tie Jun's title was 'Bloodthirsty King.'

In terms of fame, he was even slightly stronger than his Master, Zhenyan King. Of course, Master was an existence extremely close to a Universe Nation Lord, and in terms of strength, he was stronger than his third senior brother.

"Go on, go on." Zhenyan King waved his hand with a smile.

"Yes."

Luo Feng rose and departed.

...

Walking out of his Master's mansion, he looked back, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Last time it was leaving Earth, this time it's leaving Master's side." Luo Feng shook his head.

"You're still young. Once you've cultivated for tens of millions of years, you'll get used to it," Babata's voice came from his mind.

"Alright," Luo Feng frowned, "Cultivating for tens of millions of years, that's for the future. I haven't even lived for a hundred years yet; there's no need to talk about such distant matters."

Walking on the street.

Luo Feng sighed.

"Thirty years!"

"Gone in a flash." Luo Feng felt pleased, "Compared to when I arrived, I'm much stronger now."

His Earthling body, having not cultivated, remained at Universe Level First-tier. However, once he left Chaos City... as long as he went to the Pool of Life, it would be easy to reach Universe Level Ninth-tier. In fact, he had no bottlenecks and could directly break through to Domain Lord level in one go.

His Demon Killer Clan clone and Golden Horned Beast were at the same level.

Because before coming to the Primal Universe, Luo Feng had prepared a large number of 'inner worlds' and the metals needed at the Domain Lord level, so their evolution had proceeded normally.

A total of 30 years in Chaos City.

In just over the first 10 years, he broke through to Domain Lord First-tier!

And from Domain Lord First-tier to Third-tier, it required 150 years.

From Fourth-tier to Sixth-tier, it required 600 years.

From Seventh-tier to Ninth-tier, it required 3600 years.

Breaking through from Domain Lord Ninth-tier to Sector Lord level required about 5000 years.

The optimal metal combination used at the Domain Lord level could only increase evolution efficiency by 52 times. So, the 20 years in Chaos City was roughly equivalent to over a thousand years of normal evolution! Therefore... currently, his Golden Horned Beast and Demon Killer Clan clone had both reached 'Domain Lord Sixth-tier'!

"If I go to the Pool of Life, my evolution to Universe Level Ninth-tier must stop there. If I evolve to Domain Lord level..." Luo Feng mused, "That would be troublesome. Logically, a Domain Lord First-tier can directly force its evolution to Domain Lord Ninth-tier. But I'm different from others; my advancement is limited by my 'inner world'."

If his inner world was at 'Domain Lord Sixth-tier,' then there would be no bottlenecks before reaching Domain Lord Sixth-tier.

But if his inner world didn't advance, his body and soul couldn't advance either.

"Once the Golden Horned Beast and Demon Killer Clan clone reach Domain Lord Ninth-tier, I'll then let my Earthling body directly advance to Domain Lord Ninth-tier," Luo Feng thought.

"In Chaos City, my greatest progress was in comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe," Luo Feng mused.

Studying the Ninefold Universe Chaos Tablet, coupled with Master Zhenyan King's guidance, and comprehending the Flowing Blood Secret Manual, his progress was indeed significant.

In the first ten years, he fully comprehended the first sword technique of Flowing Blood.

The initial entry was the hardest. Because he had experienced insights and Master's guidance, and moreover, among the 108 sword techniques, the nine sword techniques belonging to the Raindrop Diagram were inherently the easiest. So, after three years, Luo Feng comprehended the second sword technique, and after nearly another three years, he comprehended the third sword technique.

...The further he went, the higher his efficiency became.

In his 28th year in Chaos City, Luo Feng comprehended the ninth sword technique! From then on, the first diagram of the Ninefold Universe Chaos Tablet, the 'Raindrop Diagram,' held no more secrets for Luo Feng; he had completely comprehended it!

The first nine sets were easy.

The middle 27 sword techniques were much harder, not to mention the final 72 sword techniques.

Now, almost ready to leave Chaos City, Luo Feng still hadn't comprehended the 10th sword technique.

"Although I haven't comprehended the 10th sword technique, I've made significant progress on the second diagram, the Fine Rain Diagram, compared to three years ago," Luo Feng thought. "There are still 10 days until I leave Chaos City. Before I depart, I'll challenge the Sky-Reaching Bridge one more time to see if I can pass the fifth level! If I can, I'll get another chance to comprehend the Chaos Tablet! I'll take that final comprehension with me and slowly absorb it after leaving Chaos City."

...

A large fish was flying through the unstable chaos of the Primal Universe.

Inside this 'large fish.'

"Reporting to Venerable, out of this batch of 1000 geniuses, 816 are currently alive." Longyu King, clad in jade-green armor, bowed and replied, "Among them, Bolan is the most outstanding, having now passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's fifth level. Next is Luo Feng, who has passed the fourth level. Below them are five who have passed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's third level! The most astonishing performance among these is Luo Feng's; he passed the fourth level in his 19th year in Chaos City, far surpassing everyone else, and is the closest in strength to Bolan."

The other dozen or so Immortals respectfully waited.

Jiujian Venerable, however, sat on his throne, listening, and softly said, "Bolan? Luo Feng?"

Rumble~~~

The spaceship continued its journey.

Jiujian Venerable was traveling in the spaceship to Chaos City to pick up Luo Feng and his batch of people.
