Cosmos Crystal

When Song Zhong flew to the Benevolence Dao Alliance's Great Thousand World, Lord of Chaos Island noticed him, but did not pay it much mind. Unless there was something important, he would not leave Primal Chaos Island.

But Song Zhong said he was going to seek revenge on the Saint of Chaos, so he had no choice but to appear.

Although this was Song Zhong's own affair, the combat power Song Zhong had displayed was simply too terrifying.

Quite a few cultivators had said that within The Ruins, Song Zhong could kill Quasi-Saints and even Half-Step Saints.

At that time, Song Zhong had only been a cultivator of the Supreme Path Realm. Now, Song Zhong had already reached the Forget Dao Realm.

What about when Song Zhong became a Quasi-Saint, or a Saint?

Song Zhong was a cultivator of the Benevolence Dao Alliance. He had no doubt that Song Zhong would surpass him then and become the strongest combat force of their Benevolence Dao Alliance.

That was why, upon hearing that Song Zhong intended to seek revenge on the Chaos Saint, he had rushed over so urgently to stop him.

"Song Zhong, I know your combat power is strong, and I believe that you can now kill ordinary Saints. But the Saint of Chaos is different. He is one of the very strongest Saints.

"Let me put it this way."

Lord of Chaos Island pointed at himself. "Even I have no certainty of victory if I fight the Saint of Chaos one-on-one."

Though he said this, he added in his heart, If it were on Primal Chaos Island, I would certainly win!

"I know you want revenge, but revenge truly need not be taken in a single moment."

Lord of Chaos Island looked at Song Zhong and urged, "Wait until you break through and become a Quasi-Saint before seeking out the Chaos Saint. I definitely will not stop you then."

Song Zhong looked at Lord of Chaos Island and sighed inwardly. He could only say, "Rest assured, Island Lord. I will act once I am certain of victory. I will not go now. I still need to gain insight for a while longer."

Lord of Chaos Island meant well, and Song Zhong could not explain too much. He could only stabilize Lord of Chaos Island for now.

As for when he would be certain of victory?

Naturally, he was certain now.

Wait?

Now that he had the power to take revenge, why should he keep waiting?

Who knew what else might happen if he waited any longer?

Besides, he would not send all his avatars to the Chaotic Lands. He would leave one avatar behind in this Great Thousand World. The avatar left behind could also show Lord of Chaos Island that he had not gone.

Very soon, Song Zhong entered the cave dwelling.

Lord of Chaos Island watched Song Zhong depart and let out a soft sigh. Turning back to Rain Peak Quasi-Saint, he said solemnly, "You two are close. You should persuade him more as well. If Song Zhong intends to seek revenge on the Saint of Chaos, tell me immediately."

"Rest assured, Island Lord. If I learn of it, I will certainly inform you at once." Rain Peak Quasi-Saint nodded repeatedly.

After entering the cave dwelling, Song Zhong quickly entered that mysterious expanse of space and walked toward the mysterious crystal.

As he moved, streams of Spatial Power suddenly flew from the crystal, and the entire space began to overlap madly.

When Song Zhong had previously looked at these Overlapping Spaces, he had even felt as though he would be instantly crushed apart if he entered them. But now, with a single glance, he found one path after another within the overlapping space.

He stepped forward into the Overlapping Space, yet instantly merged into space itself, advancing continuously through the overlapping layers.

In but a moment, he had passed through layer after layer of Overlapping Space and arrived before the crystal.

Song Zhong gazed at the crystal, translucent and gleaming, as though it contained an entire world within it, then reached out and grabbed it.

At once, a force came from within the crystal, seeming to pull him inside.

With a thought, Song Zhong directly entered the crystal.

Though he had clearly entered the crystal, Song Zhong discovered that he had entered an entirely new Great Thousand World.

"This... truly is a Great Thousand World inside this crystal.

"But there is not the slightest trace of life within this Great Thousand World."

After making a circuit of this Great Thousand World, Song Zhong discovered that although there were some buildings and mountain gates within it, they had clearly been abandoned for a long time.

Many traces of battle could also be seen throughout the Great Thousand World.

He flew all the way toward the center of the Great Thousand World and soon discovered a completely ruined mountain gate.

The mountain gates in other places had been preserved relatively intact. Only this place had been utterly destroyed.

The instant he flew here, a phantom rose into the air.

An illusory figure appeared before him.

At the same time, a voice rang out.

"I am White Feather Quasi-Saint. My clan and I were an extremely ordinary, utterly inconspicuous clan in the Universe. Until one day, a cultivator calling himself Zhe Kong Saint flew over.

"He said that when he was weak, I had nearly killed him twice. His Dao companion and his closest relatives had also all died by my hand, while many cultivators of his clan had died at the hands of my clan.

"And now that he had become a Saint, he had come to take revenge on us.

"He obtained an extremely special treasure named the Cosmos Crystal. The Universe Ring and Universe Bag can store treasures within them, while the Cosmos Crystal can directly contain an entire Great Thousand World.

"At that time, he directly attacked, severely injuring me. Then he killed every cultivator above the Supreme Realm in our Great Thousand World. After that, he forcibly stored our Great Thousand World within the Cosmos Crystal.

"Our strongest cultivators at the time were only in the Supreme Realm. We were utterly unable to stop him. We could only watch helplessly as he stored our Great Thousand World inside it.

"Then, carrying our Great Thousand World, he forcibly flew to another Universe.

"Afterward, every so often, he would come to our Great Thousand World, severely injure me again just as I had recovered a little, then kill the strongest batch of cultivators in our Great Thousand World.

"He said that he wanted me to watch our Great Thousand World be destroyed bit by bit.

"I did not want to see my clansmen die one by one before my eyes. I could only choose death, preserving a sliver of Divine Sense before I died to tell all this to those who came later..."

Song Zhong sighed softly. That Zhe Kong Saint had truly been twisted enough.

He had directly stored the other party's Great Thousand World inside a crystal and taken it away, then tortured them bit by bit.

Although Song Zhong had destroyed several Great Thousand Worlds himself, he had always directly annihilated the other party's Great Thousand World and considered it finished. He had not driven them into despair like Zhe Kong Saint had.

As for who was right and who was wrong.

White Feather Quasi-Saint was not wrong. After all, when cultivating and competing outside, there would always be casualties. Which cultivator did not have several lives on their hands?

Zhe Kong Saint was not wrong either. Once one became stronger, one naturally had to take revenge. Otherwise, what was the point of becoming stronger?

Just like himself—after becoming stronger, he too would seek revenge on the Saint of Chaos.

As for this crystal, Zhe Kong Saint had likely died unexpectedly later on, and somehow the crystal had ended up outside.

Before Zhe Kong Saint died, he had already slaughtered every cultivator and every living thing in this Great Thousand World.

"What a pity. This Spatial Crystal can directly store an entire Great Thousand World within it. If I had obtained this crystal earlier, I might truly have been able to store the Great Thousand Worlds of the Five Great Other Clans inside. But now, the Great Thousand Worlds of the Five Great Other Clans have all been destroyed, and all their cultivators are dead. There is no use in leaving this crystal behind.

"That Saint of Chaos seems to have no clansmen, only himself?

"I cannot possibly store the Chaotic Lands inside it, and that would be of no use either."
