Can You Reveal Your True Form?

Before the imposing and solemn City Lord's Mansion, black-robed messengers came and went from time to time, and occasionally some immortal beings and realm lords also came and went.

The Outer Mansion of the city lord has always been kept open.

However, the City Lord's Inner Mansion was heavily guarded, and each guard was Immortal God.

Jiang Yao's cosmic-level status is so striking.

A guard stopped Jiang Yao directly. "This is a heavily Inner Mansion. Entry is forbidden without the City Lord's order! To study the Chaos Stele, go to the Bronze Ruins in the Outer Mansion..."

Jiang Yao was about to explain that he had come on the orders of the city lord when he saw another guard beside him looking at Jiang Yao with surprise, "You are Jiang Yao?"

"The Venerable Guiyi is waiting for you in the Inner Mansion. Go in." The immortal guard glanced at Jiang Yao and waved him through.

After Jiang Yao entered the Inner Mansion, the guards exchanged glances and began whispering amongst themselves.

"Is he Jiang Yao?"

Who is Jiang Yao?

"That's the kid who passed all the Trial Tower in the Genius Tournament held by our Virtual Universe Company. He just passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge in one go. I wonder why Venerable Guiyi summoned him in the Inner Mansion. Could it be to take him as a disciple?"

Inner Mansion.

A bald man in a fiery red battle robe stood on a plaza paved with chaotic rocks, a faint smile on his face, as if he were the embodiment of the universe and the starry sky. Anyone who saw him would be involuntarily drawn in, and would even want to merge into him and become a part of him.

However, this is not Virtual Universe. Although Jiang Yao's consciousness no longer guarded the Xu Yuan Space because he was to be summoned by the Chaos City Lord, and he dared not use any of the power of the Xu Yuan Space, his soul had undergone two transformations and he also had the Zhenhuang Mirror and the Eye of Zhenhuang, so he quickly broke free from the starry sky.

The bald man's smile remained unchanged, radiating a soul-stirring power. "I am Venerable Guiyi, sent by my master to receive you."

After Jiang Yao his respects, he was led through the Inner Mansion.

"The teacher intends to accept you as a disciple. Since you're here, you must be willing. Just call me Second Senior Brother."

Venerable Guiyi smiled and said, "I became a disciple of my teacher very early, which is why I was able to become the second senior brother. Moreover, due to my teacher's special favor, I was able to be by his side frequently."

After saying that, he looked Jiang Yao up and down and said, "Your body not only has an amazing aura, but it is also extremely compatible with the Origin Law, and you can directly induce law fluctuations. You can cultivate some secret techniques to conceal and hide your aura. Otherwise, once you leave Chaos City, you will be as dazzling as a star to the Immortal God."

Jiang Yao nodded in agreement, a wry smile playing on his lips.

There are gains and losses. Since cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God, his original human form has been transformed to the point where he doesn't even know if he can still be considered human. He can only say that his appearance is still humanoid.

Just as if he were to transform into Bizhang, his body would be surrounded by intense fluctuations of the Origin Law of Light. His original human form was a low-end version of Bizhang, and its attraction to the Origin Law stemmed from the body itself.

He dared not use the power of the Xu Yuan Space to conceal himself in Chaos City. However, there were too many geniuses and powerful individuals from various races of the Human Race in Chaos City, with different fates, so he was not particularly conspicuous.

After watching Jiang Yao enter the Chaos Ruins, Venerable Guiyi suppressed the curiosity in his eyes.

He didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yao. Among the Human Race, Venerable Guiyi was one of the oldest Universe Venerable, and most Universe Country Lord were not as old as him.

Having witnessed the rise and fall of the Human Race, unless it's a peerless genius like Kedi or Venerable Shihuo, who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, other geniuses are unlikely to attract Venerable Guiyi's special attention. Moreover, the person in charge of handling the general affairs of the Virtual Universe Company is mainly his ninth junior brother Golden Axe Venerable.

Therefore, Venerable Guiyi was somewhat surprised that the Chaos City Lord had accepted Jiang Yao as a disciple under a nominal name, and that his words were quite solemn.

Since the teacher took charge of Chaos City, he has rarely accepted disciples, and the standards for accepting disciples now exceed those of Universe Master within the Virtual Universe Company.

Jiang Yao's talent is indeed astonishing, but he has only been in Chaos City for a year. It will take time to verify and confirm the extent of his potential, given the opportunities he has gained.

Even though Kedi showed far more talent than Jiang Yao when he first joined the Virtual Universe Company, he was not directly accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord. Instead, he was only accepted as a disciple after passing through the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain.

"His soul is indeed powerful, and he has cultivated extremely advanced soul-related secret techniques. His body is quite interesting; he must have obtained some rare treasure that modified his body. No wonder his understanding of the Origin Law is quite profound. However, at most, he can only compare to the consciousness of a World Lord who has penetrated deep into the Origin Land of the Universe, and he may even be inferior to him."

Having witnessed countless geniuses, Venerable Guiyi naturally knew that some seemingly powerful opportunities were actually only for early dominance. The most typical example was the degree of compatibility with the Origin Law. Once one reached the realm master stage, others could directly delve into the origin, and the advantage of comprehending the Origin Law through the body's special compatibility with the laws would be greatly diminished.

Unless one can maintain a strong affinity with the Origin Law at the Immortal God stage, such an opportunity is truly extraordinary.

"The talent of the Path of the Beast God is indeed interesting, quite rare among our Human Race." Venerable Guiyi shook his head slightly. "Unfortunately, our Human Race and even the Hong Alliance have too shallow a foundation in the Ancestral God Sect, and are further suppressed by other forces."

"The Beast God Inheritance is tens of millions of times more powerful than the Chaos Stele, yet our Human Race lacks the opportunity to comprehend it, leaving countless exceptionally talented individuals with no chance to realize their potential, only to be surpassed one by one by Alien Race."

"Perhaps the teacher recognized his talent in the Path of the Beast God, or maybe Jiang Yao has other secrets?"

After all, he was a future junior brother, and he was in the City Lord's Mansion, Venerable Guiyi naturally wouldn't use his divine power to examine Jiang Yao's body. However, he trusted his teacher, the Chaos City Lord's, judgment.

Boom!

Jiang Yao stepped into the Chaos Ruins, where time and space twisted and Stars Shift and Galaxies Move. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a vast and desolate world.

However, before he could carefully observe the endless Alien Race corpses lying on the ground, which resembled a ruined world, he was surprised to see a figure shrouded in mist and wearing a black robe.

"Venerable?"

This woman in the black robe was the powerful being who had summoned him along with the Xuanshang Universe Lord; she should also be the Youyuan Venerable who sent King Jingluo to guide him.

Jiang Yao was somewhat surprised to meet this big shot here.

Youyuan Venerable gave a light snort, "I'll take you to see your teacher."

Although Youyuan Venerable was still shrouded in mist, his face was now clearly visible.

The face was completely devoid of beauty or ugliness; or rather, beneath those eyes, the rest of the face was blurred, forgotten, and difficult to remember.

Only in his eyes could one seem to see the changes of the universe, the evolution of stars, and the blooming of nebulae, as if it were a river stretching across the universe, capable of engulfing one in a single glance, allowing one to experience billions of years of cosmic evolution in an instant.

If the Venerable Guiyi is the calm and vast starry sky, then the Youyuan Venerable is the violent universe, a moment of intense change, encompassing Supernova explosions, galactic evolution and merging, and Black Hole Evolution, illustrating the boundless power of the universe.

Youyuan Venerable led Jiang Yao across the seemingly endless ruins.

It wasn't until Jiang Yao saw a burly man in dark red battle armor standing on the ground that he came to the fore. Compared to the massive Alien Race corpses around him, he was not imposing, but he seemed to be the core of the entire world. Wherever he stood, that place became the center.

The vast and magnificent laws of the universe surrounding him constantly elucidate the ultimate truth of killing, causing people to submit from the depths of their souls and giving rise to not a single thought of resistance.

"Jiang Yao greets the City Lord." Jiang Yao no longer had time to consider the identity of Youyuan Venerable and immediately knelt down.

Youyuan Venerable has arrived beside the Chaos City Lord.

The burly man with two fiery red horns on his head smiled at Jiang Yao and said, "Is the life you possessed, named 'Bizhang,' still growing?"

Jiang Yao felt a chill run down his spine, but he had expected it. If he still harbored some wishful thinking before the God Kingdom Trial, after he escaped from Lingcang Marquis in his guise as Bizhang, the matter of Bizhang could no longer be kept secret. His reappearance in the Genius Tournament and his summons by the Xuanshang Universe Lord further dispelled any remaining hope.

Fortunately, his soul was indeed a genuine human soul. Bizhang's will mainly affected his body, and his Second Personality, Bizhang, had been sealed away. The transformation of his soul by the Xu Yuan Space did not change the essence of his human soul.

Since the Chaos City Lord used the word "body snatching," it has given the final confirmation.

Jiang Yao respectfully replied, "It is still growing."

The Chaos City Lord nodded. "Life forms capable of transforming and simulating other life forms are not uncommon. Can you reveal your true form?"

Jiang Yao wasn't surprised, but he couldn't help but think to himself that it felt like he was being forced to reveal his true form.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. Since the Chaos City Lord is convinced that he possessed Bizhang, then Bizhang is his original body, and his body naturally becomes the human body simulated by Bizhang.

Fortunately, his Xu Yuan Space had reached the second level; otherwise, he might never have been able to return after this transformation.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Yao immediately activated the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>.

In an instant, it was as if a small star had been born in this Chaos Ruins.

Boundless light and heat illuminated the surrounding continent for thousands of miles. A peculiar life form, resembling a crane but not quite, stretched out its wings and cried out to the sky! However, its eyes did not hold the ferocity to devour everything, but rather a clear and lucid gaze.

The Chaos City Lord and Youyuan Venerable both widened their eyes instantly, their expressions showing some emotion.

However, Jiang Yao had no time to observe the expressions of the Chaos City Lord and Youyuan Venerable. Logically speaking, when he activated the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God> to transform into Bizhang, he was supposed to release Bizhang's will to control his body.

But Jiang Yao certainly wouldn't dare, otherwise the Chaos City Lord would probably have to reconsider who possessed whom.

Therefore, he could only control Bizhang's body with his own soul. It was as if a child was wielding a sledgehammer. What was even more terrifying was that some kind of rejection reaction seemed to have occurred. Strange energy surged from all parts of Bizhang's body, as if trying to devour and wear down Jiang Yao's will.

Jiang Yao could only feign exhaustion and once again activated the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God to return to human form.

At this moment, the Chaos City Lord and Youyuan Venerable had regained their original expressions, one calm and the other cold and stern.

"It seems your possession hasn't been completely successful yet," the Chaos City Lord said calmly. "It's probably because your cultivation level is too low, and your soul is still lacking. Although your willpower is far superior to others of the same level, it's still insufficient compared to this Special Lifeform."

Immediately, the Chaos City Lord's tone turned solemn. "From now on, you must never reveal your true form in front of anyone, whether human or Alien Race! You must remember this!"

The next chapter will probably be around 2 PM.
