Chaos City.

The moment Tang Ping stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion's mansion, his keen senses detected dozens of subtle, probing attacks.

Those gazes, directed at powerful figures both inside and outside the city, were filled with scrutiny and inquiry. He paid no heed, a faint smile playing on his lips.

There was no way around it; he was simply a person with an inherent sharpness. Even in Chaos City, a place teeming with hidden talents, he was like a firefly suddenly illuminating the dark night, his brilliance so dazzling that he could not be ignored.

Extremely handsome!

After walking only a few hundred steps, a waiter dressed in black bowed to greet them, holding an ancient-looking Space Ring in his hand.

This is the first batch of basic Primal Universe resources that the race has collected for him, covering all kinds of life forms known to the Human Race: strange beasts made of flesh and blood, spirits forged from metal, monsters derived from rocks, phantoms formed from energy, as well as miscellaneous items such as rare objects, ores, and spiritual fruits.

The quantity of supplies was enormous, but they were all below the Immortal Realm level, so they weren't particularly rare in terms of value. What truly took a toll was the tedious process of collecting them across star systems.

Tang Ping accepted the ring and signed for it. He scanned it with his divine sense and put it into his Storage Space. Without stopping, he continued walking towards the city outskirts. Now, of course, he needed to find a place to settle down. Otherwise, it would be too stifling for his massive Nether Sea Clone to stay in the Space Ring.

The walls of Chaos City stretched across the sky and earth, their dark blue-green surfaces reaching the horizon. The city gates were wide open, spitting out powerful figures as they came and went. Some rode divine light and sped out, while others rode strange beasts and slowly entered the city.

Tang Ping stood beneath the city gate, the sunlight sweeping across the vast wilderness outside the city.

The earth was cracked, the weeds withered and yellow, and the boundless wasteland was shrouded in a hazy, Chaos atmosphere, exuding an eternal, deathly stillness.

He turned to his left and saw a hundred-foot-tall stone tablet rising from the ground, its body inscribed with intricate Universal Language, recording the secrets of the third treasure of Chaos City: the Chaos True Spirit.

In the beginning of the universe, before the primordial chaos was created, many strange creatures were born in the Initial Universe. Because of their bizarre shapes and mysterious origins, they were given the name "Chaos Beast". These Chaos Beast varied greatly in strength, but they were all born with control over the Laws of Origin, while others cultivated several. They were the most dangerous natives of the Chaos Wasteland.

After killing the Chaos Beast, its body will not remain; it will only turn into a sky full of Chaos energy and specks of emerald green light.

Those light fragments are the Life Core of the Chaos Beast, and its only mark of existence, known as the Chaos True Spirit. Simply absorbing these light fragments into the body allows them to be directly absorbed by the soul, greatly enhancing the compatibility between the soul and the universe.

The deeper the connection between the soul and the universe, the clearer and more transparent the understanding of the Laws of Origin.

The ascension of a Realm Lord to Immortality is essentially a transformation and sublimation of the soul, requiring the breaking of shackles and the reshaping of Yongheng. The Chaos True Spirit, on the other hand, brings a subtle and gradual nourishment and transformation, which, though shallow, is gentle and enduring.

Unfortunately, the souls of immortal beings are already Yongheng immortal, and the nourishment of the Chaos True Spirit is meaningless to them. This supreme Supreme Treasure is only effective for cultivators below the immortal level.

"What a pity." Tang Ping sighed softly, his tone not showing much regret, before stepping into the wasteland shrouded in Chaos energy.

"Hey! Watch out! Over the years, quite a few geniuses have perished while hunting Chaos Beast!" A clear, melodious female voice suddenly came from behind.

Tang Ping turned around and saw a pretty young girl standing by the city gate.

Her figure was similar to that of Earth Human Race, with a pair of small, blue dragon horns adorning her forehead. Her jet-black ponytail hung down her back, and her wispy bangs covered her fair, Little Round Face. Her appearance wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but she possessed a gentle and quiet charm reminiscent of a well-behaved girl next door, making her exceptionally endearing.

"I'm not called 'Hey'," Tang Ping said with a smile.

He always showed more patience towards lively, gentle, and beautiful girls.

Under his unrestrained yet not lewd gaze, the girl's golden eyes welled up with tears, as clear as a startled fawn in the forest, and her cheeks flushed with a vibrant peach color.

Although she felt that such a gaze was slightly offensive, she still politely asked, "What's your name? Perhaps we can team up to hunt Chaos Beast."

Tang Ping's lips curled slightly, with a hint of nonchalance. "You may call me King Anle."

"King Anle?! King Rank expert!" The girl's eyes widened suddenly, then her face turned deathly pale. She knelt down with a thud, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "Dragon-Man Race 'Long Jiangxue' pays respects to Senior King Anle!"

Tang Ping gently lifted her fingertips, and a gentle yet irresistible Divine Power lifted her up.

He gazed at the girl and slowly nodded. "An old man in a straw hat and raincoat, fishing alone on a snowy river. Long Jiangxue, a good name." Before he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a condensed sword aura transformed into Flowing Light, silently merging into her brow.

"We are destined to meet, so I bestow this sword energy upon you for protection."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ping's figure blurred, transforming into a dazzling Flowing Light that instantly pierced through the Chaos air currents and disappeared into the horizon deep in the wasteland.

Long Jiangxue stood there, stunned, for a long while before she came to her senses. She raised her hand to touch her smooth forehead, her small mouth slightly pouting, and she thought to herself: This Senior King Anle is too uncouth.

According to the clan's rules, the one who touches the Heavenly Bodhisattva must marry her!

But then she thought of the terrifying power contained in that sword energy, and a look of joy appeared in her eyes. With the protection of this sword energy, she could hunt Chaos Beast in the Chaos Wasteland with peace of mind.

"Yay!" The girl was excited inside, but on the surface she still maintained the appearance of a well-behaved girl.

Deep within the Chaos wasteland, weeds grow rampant and jagged rocks abound.

This land, nurtured by the Chaos currents, is fundamentally different from the matter of the Primal Universe, even in its most inconspicuous weeds and rocks. Nourished by the ancient Chaos energy, these inorganic substances possess the characteristic of immortality, and will never decay or weather even after trillions of years.

Tang Ping traveled deeper and deeper, covering a full 100 million kilometers, but the scene before him was still one of desolation.

He only stopped after passing through a Chaos vortex. Ahead of him appeared a huge depression, surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier.

Most of the talented cultivators in Chaos City only dare to move around the city's perimeter; but true powerhouses can teleport across light-years in a Teleportation, so it's meaningless for them to go any further.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ping decided to settle down here.

He raised his hand and summoned a World Ring that was larger than the previous one.

The next moment, a loud "whoosh" resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and endless transparent Divine Power seawater gushed out from the ring, like a celestial river flowing backward, instantly submerging the bottom of the depression.

The depression was originally home to tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts, which were suddenly swept away by the towering waves and let out a mournful roar.

They struggled in vain in the Divine Power sea, eventually being pushed by the waves and crashing against the mountain wall. When the waves receded, they realized they had not perished, and then scattered in panic, disappearing into the depths of the wilderness.

After a long time, the sea gradually calmed down, and a vast ocean appeared in the depression, stretching for 80 million kilometers, with boundless blue waves and divine light flowing around it.

Such a scale is unimaginably vast for mortals. To put it in perspective, the diameter of the sun is only 1.392 million kilometers, about 109 times that of the earth, while the size of his Nether Sea Clone is more than seventy times that of the sun.

Such a terrifying size, without a matching speed of Law Comprehension, would be nothing more than a behemoth in appearance, unable to unleash its true combat power. It is precisely because his speed of comprehending the laws is too terrifying that the clan has placed all its bets on him, providing him with abundant resources and support.

Tang Ping stared at the Nether Sea Clone before him, sighed for a moment, then took out the various supplies he had previously signed for from his Storage Ring and began to analyze them using his Innate Secret Technique.

These materials below the Immortal Realm posed no challenge to him, and the analysis process went exceptionally smoothly.

A moment later, a new attribute appeared on the panel: Divine Power Path: [1/10081]

"It works!" Tang Ping was overjoyed.

In this way, as long as enough materials are collected, his Nether Sea Clone can continue to grow stronger, and may even allow his divine body to expand to a maximum scale of 10 billion kilometers at the immortal stage.

At that time, even the Chaos City Lord would probably feel sorry for the resources used to strengthen his divine body.

Hehehe~
