Creating Chaos

Luo Jun flexed his wrists and looked at Ophelia in front of him.

He had no idea what faction this woman belonged to or what methods she used. But now that he had broken through to the Body Refinement Realm Eighth Layer and obtained the Fate Road Bracelet, Luo Jun's strength had greatly increased, and his confidence was at its peak. He didn't even bring any weapons and went onto the arena empty-handed.

The faction of one's Heart Refining Realm ability is closely related to one's physique and personality. In addition, Cultivators also focus on training that suits their abilities. Therefore, one can roughly deduce a person's faction from their appearance, personality, and style of doing things.

For example, a tall, muscular man is likely a Martial Combat Faction practitioner; a clever and calculating person is more likely to have mastered Manipulation School and Illusion Faction techniques; someone who seems a bit eccentric is more likely to be Spell Faction; someone with unusual physical behavior is probably Shapeshifting Faction, adapting to the movements of a monster after transformation...

Looking at Ophelia again, she was thin and frail, which basically ruled out her Martial Combat Faction. She seemed to be quite intelligent, but her strange behavior made Luo Jun feel that she was more likely to Spell Faction or Mystic Faction.

In a complex environment, such a sneaky and unpredictable ability would indeed be difficult to deal with. However, on the limited arena, Luo Jun was not too worried. Although he was not yet at the Foundation Establishment Realm and did not possess Qi, he had experienced the benefits of having strong attributes through so many battles.

For ordinary Cultivators, improving their constitution through the Body Refinement Realm Strengthening Root Bone primarily enhances physical strength, with little improvement in perception and spirit. Agility, in particular, requires extensive training and largely determines combat skills. Therefore, without the corresponding abilities, it is difficult to deal with enemies skilled in illusions and Curse.

However, Luo Jun is different. His Perception Attribute allows him to see through ordinary illusions, his mental attribute makes him exceptionally resistant to mental manipulation, and his agility attribute allows him to easily perform various difficult moves. He can learn most fighting techniques with just a glance...

It can be said that Luo Jun now, apart from lacking Qi, is an all-around stat warrior with virtually no weaknesses!

No matter what your abilities are, you can't make a fuss in this arena that's only a few dozen meters square!

Luo Jun looked at the person opposite him with a confident smile.

Thump!

The competition officially began as the idol's spear struck the ground.

Let's finish this quickly!

Luo Jun lunged forward, his iron fist, as sharp as a cannonball, aimed at Ophelia!

Brush!

Luo Jun's fist swept across, shattering the body...

Illusion Faction... Very skilled. When they're still, I can't even see any flaws... Luo Jun made an assessment in his mind, his eyes darting around rapidly.

But I don't believe you can stay still forever; you'll eventually reveal a weakness!

Sure enough, as his gaze swept across, a barely perceptible shadow moved slowly to the right. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not have noticed it, but Luo Jun keenly caught it. He stomped his foot, the floor tiles shattered, and he rushed straight towards the shadow!

Puff!

With a loud bang, a slender figure was revealed by Luo Jun's attack. Ophelia's body was pierced through by the fist and pinned to the protective barrier at the edge of the arena.

Hmm... Luo Jun keenly sensed that the feel of the impact was wrong; it didn't feel like he had pierced through a human!

Just as he was wondering, Ophelia suddenly grabbed Luo Jun's arm with both hands, raised her head, and her originally indifferent face suddenly turned into a wide grin that stretched to her ears, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth, bloodshot eyes, and black smoke billowing from her nostrils, making her look extremely ferocious!

This is...

Luo Jun instinctively sensed danger, but it was too late to withdraw. Countless tentacles sprouted from Ophelia's body and wrapped around Luo Jun, as if trying to drag him into Hell!

What is this... the power of the Creation Faction? Genesis Art? This creation thing is way too twisted!

However, Luo Jun had faced even the most terrifying monsters before. Although those tentacles had sharp barbs, they were not enough to break through his skin. He shook his arms, unleashing astonishing power, tearing off all the tentacles on his body. With a single chop, he split the distorted body in two, turning it into Vital Energy Dissipation.

The Creation Faction ability is not simply about creating an appearance. To simulate something using energy, one must have a thorough understanding of its materials and structure; otherwise, what is made will only have the appearance and will not be able to perform its intended function.

Therefore, the more durable and complex an object's structure, the harder it is to simulate. Thus, in most cases, creation is more difficult than construction!

Creating a living being requires a thorough understanding of its physical structure, and the creation must not violate the natural laws of life. Therefore, most Creation Faction try to simulate real-world creatures when using Genesis Art, as this is relatively easier to master. Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation level, the more powerful the creatures one can create.

However, there are also some people who create creatures that do not exist in the world and are entirely imagined by themselves!

This requires not only extremely high cultivation levels, but also an exceptionally powerful mind and biological knowledge! Even so, what they create are mostly Frankenstein's monsters, a hodgepodge of various real-world creatures. To build a completely fictional species from scratch is virtually impossible!

But that twisted Ophelia was different! Although it had a human appearance on the surface, when Luo Jun punched it through, he felt that its internal structure was completely different from that of a human. Later, when its body deformed and sprouted countless tentacles, Luo Jun was even more certain that this thing was rare not only in reality, but also in various other worlds!

Did Ophelia really create a non-existent creature from scratch? That's a feat that even the Peak of Creation Faction might not be able to accomplish!

No... there are still prototypes to reference!

Luo Jun felt a sense of déjà vu about this distorted style... Chaos!

That's the style of those Chaos Creature!

This guy is simulating some kind of Chaos Creature?

Impossible!

Chaos Creature exist only within Chaos Mission and cannot be brought back to the real world. Cultivators recruited for missions also lack the means to study them... To this day, humanity's understanding of Chaos Creature remains superficial, and no one knows the principles behind their existence!

How could Ophelia possibly simulate Chaos Creature?

But this feeling... is just too similar!

Luo Jun stared at the empty arena. He sensed that more than one creature was moving about on it... Though he couldn't see clearly, he could feel that none of these creatures were in a normal state of life...

It simulated a Chaos army...

Luo Jun snorted coldly.

"Interesting..."
