Great Chaos True Power (Please Read On)

The probability of encountering an Immortal level Death Knight was also listed as thirty percent in the mission description.

If they were far apart, there was still a chance to run.

In a face-to-face encounter, perhaps only someone like Zhou Lin, who possessed Void Realm True Meaning, could survive.

Luck was also part of strength. How could a true supreme powerhouse possibly be someone plagued by bad luck?

Zhou Lin quickly flew out of the Death Star's fog layer. Only after reaching the starry expanse of the universe did he leave the Void Realm and fly toward the Mercenary Alliance's palace in his true body.

The moment he set foot inside the palace—

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

An alarm sounded, and several staff members rushed out at once. Only after seeing the armor on his body did they stop.

"Someone from the Virtual Universe Company." The middle-aged man in front waved his hand. "You arrived three months ago, right?"

Although the survival mission only lasted three months, there were always bold and highly skilled people who stayed much longer, hoping to excavate as many Death Crystals as possible.

Luo Feng was far from the only one with a Demon Killer Clan Avatar, or an Avatar from some other strange race.

As for the deeper secrets, those were much harder to obtain. One had to have no soul and possess unwavering willpower.

"Mm." Zhou Lin handed over his wristband, a Death Crystal, and the spinal bone dropped by the Death Knight. After inspecting them, the other party sent his consciousness into the Virtual Universe and confirmed that the mission had been completed.

"A hero indeed." The middle-aged man at the front smiled. "Your first mission was actually the Death Star, and you completed all three objectives perfectly."

There was a trace of admiration in his voice.

For a Cosmic level warrior to clear a Desperate level mission, strength alone was not enough.

Zhou Lin smiled as well. "Just a little luck."

The middle-aged man nodded in approval. "That's the honest truth. Out of a hundred people who complete every Death Star mission, nearly all of them have to stay there for years."

Other than Zhou Lin, how many dared to enter the Abyss so recklessly? Getting Death Crystals still depended on luck.

"You'll need to wait for a while. The Virtual Universe Company's people will take some time to come pick you up." The middle-aged man said heartily, "My name is Yakeli. I'm the supervisor in charge of this level."

The two chatted and laughed. As a Realm Lord, Yakeli did not put on any airs at all. He clearly wanted to befriend Zhou Lin.

The man looked somewhat like an Earthling, and Zhou Lin could not help feeling a little more favorably toward him. He had been in this world for so long, seeing all kinds of aliens every day.

Earth, at present, had probably not even given rise to any civilization yet.

The news quickly reached the Virtual Universe Company, King Fengyan, the members of the same Genius Battle, and the Universe Venerable responsible for their generation.

His first mission had been Desperate level, and he had actually cleared it successfully.

Throughout endless ages, this was the first time such a thing had ever happened.

Zhou Lin stood silently there, waiting for the company's backend to verify his mission.

Listening to the system prompts, Zhou Lin was already calculating what cultivation technique he might receive later.

Some friends also sent messages to check on him. King Fengyan, however, showed no particular reaction.

Her heart was lonely. Even her disciples felt mostly awe and respect toward her. It was difficult for them to be as close as Luo Feng and King Zhenyan were.

Zhou Lin sent his consciousness into the Virtual Universe and went to King Fengyan's residence to report his situation.

"Cleared a Desperate level mission?" Kedi looked calmly at the email. The Virtual Universe Company encouraged competition among geniuses, so news spread quickly.

Kedi, a peerless prodigy who appeared once every ten million eras.

He was proud at heart and had never truly regarded any of the other members of his Genius Battle generation. In his eyes, there was only himself.

I have seen many geniuses, but they all call me a genius.

That was probably Kedi's inner monologue.

After reading the email, Kedi felt no ripples in his heart and continued studying which Dangerous level mission to take.

Even with his strength, Kedi would not rashly venture into a Desperate level mission. He needed a certain amount of experience first.

As for the other geniuses, especially everyone in the Taichu Secret Realm, their feelings were mixed. What it meant to clear a Desperate level mission went without saying.

No matter how good one's luck was, strength still had to account for a large part of it.

[Reward obtained: Great Chaos True Power]

This was a Realm God Secret Art. If cultivated to its peak, a single particle within one's body would surpass an entire mortal world, while the body itself would become boundlessly vast.

This secret art appeared within Zhou Lin's Sea of Consciousness, but there was only the introductory information and the most basic cultivation content. Everything afterward remained sealed.

To fully receive such vast content, he would likely have to wait until he became a Realm Lord, or condensed a Second-Grade Divine Heart and became a god.

He was not even a Demigod yet, so naturally entering the sect was impossible. Fortunately, his Chaotic Hole True Meaning had reached the Transcendent realm, allowing it to complement this secret art.

Battle qi—or divine power, mana, and all other forms of power—could be converted into Great Chaos True Power. Once it truly reached its ultimate limit, a single drop of water would be like a Hun Dong.

And even a King Immortal would certainly die within a Hun Dong.

The rune patterns were extremely complex. Zhou Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not immediately begin comprehending them.

Several hours later, a silver-white spacecraft returned from the Dark Universe and descended outside the palace. Three men in black robes emerged.

"Your Highness Zhou Lin."

They were still the same people who had come to pick up Zhou Lin last time.

They were greatly surprised. Normally, few people sent to complete the Death Star mission survived, much less a rookie newcomer like Zhou Lin.

The moment he entered the spacecraft, Zhou Lin impatiently began comprehending Great Chaos True Power.

The rune patterns were simply too complicated. They even involved much content related to God Hearts. Zhou Lin only possessed First-grade Chaotic Hole True Intent; he still had to comprehend everything else himself.

He possessed Void Realm True Meaning, but if he wanted to comprehend World True Intent, he still had to rely on himself.

The same was true for condensing True Meaning into a God Heart.

It was not as though one could become strong merely by having resources. The Virtual Universe Company poured in mountains of resources—how many Immortals could emerge from each Genius Battle?

Time passed. Zhou Lin studied the Realm God Secret Art. It would be immensely difficult for him to master it now.

But developing some Secret Techniques of his own was certainly not a problem.

Because of the system, Zhou Lin could sense the universal laws on the other side of the Chaotic Void, so he could also comprehend other True Meanings.

Occasionally, he cultivated his Void Realm True Meaning as well.

Within the universe, Chaotic Hole True Meaning might be stronger than the Void Realm, but once one truly entered an Origin World, the Void Realm was the most heaven-defying.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the spacecraft returned to the Taichu Secret Realm.

"Your Highness Zhou Lin, we've arrived."

Only after hearing the call did Zhou Lin awaken from cultivation.

The guards below had already been waiting for a long time. Many had thought they would need to serve a new master, but it was still Zhou Lin after all.

Fortunately, Zhou Lin did not have many affairs to handle. He was immersed in cultivation almost constantly and only occasionally asked Mìxīng a few questions.

The moment he stepped out of the spacecraft, Zhou Lin greeted the guards, then planned to return to the quiet room to cultivate. He did not want to waste a single moment.

The sooner he developed suitable Secret Techniques, the sooner his name would resound across the world.
