A Stunning Glimpse!

"The third treasure of Chaos City, and also the most important one, the Chaos Steles, are located right here in the City Lord Mansion!" The black-robed envoy looked at the thousand-plus powerhouses before him and spoke, "There are fifty-two Chaos Steles in total, and they are supreme holy steles that lead directly to the peak Great Dao. As long as any one of you can fully comprehend any single Chaos Stele, you can become a Kingdom Lord and easily establish a Universe Kingdom! As newcomers arriving in Chaos City for the first time, you may first observe the rubbings of the Chaos Steles to choose the one most suitable for you, and then you will have a one-time free enlightenment period lasting seven days."

"Seven days! That short?"

"Only seven days?"

"Is it only free for the first time?"

"Do we need to choose the Chaos Stele through the rubbings first? Can't we view the Chaos Steles directly?"

Seven days—for these powerhouses who were at least World Rank, this amount of time was simply too short!

"You are newcomers, and since it is your first time here, you need to choose a Chaos Stele that suits you. I will record your choices and send them to Lord Kandeli," the black-robed envoy said. "As for the seven-day duration, anyone who comes to Chaos City to comprehend the Chaos Steles, even a Kingdom Lord, only gets seven days at a time. Likewise, only the first time is free. As for wanting a second or third time, that will depend on your own strength."

"You will naturally learn the detailed information regarding these matters after you finish your first session of comprehending a Chaos Stele."

While speaking, the black-robed envoy led the group to a dreamlike corridor, where there was a vast room. On all four walls, giant images measuring ten meters in width and height were suspended in mid-air.

With just a rough glance, Ye Muxuan knew there were exactly fifty-two of them.

"These are the rubbings of the fifty-two Chaos Steles. Although they cannot perfectly interpret the mysterious aura of the Chaos Steles, they can still allow you to feel some of what is being conveyed," the black-robed envoy stood at the entrance, looking at the thousand-plus people before him. "Now, each of you has half an hour to choose the Chaos Stele you wish to comprehend."

Ye Muxuan and the others walked into the room. Despite the large number of people, the room did not feel crowded; instead, it felt somewhat spacious.

Ye Muxuan looked at the giant suspended image in front of him. It was a rubbing consisting of ten images from top to bottom. His gaze fell on a curve of alternating light and shadow at the very bottom, and in a trance, a blade light rushed toward his face, striking directly at his soul!

Ye Muxuan's soul suddenly trembled!

"Half a minute is up." The voice of Nine Phoenix echoed in his mind.

Ye Muxuan's gaze landed on the bottom right corner: Universe Chaos Stele!

Ye Muxuan's eyes narrowed. The Universe Chaos Stele was the one left behind by the Chaos City Lord who presided over Chaos City! Among the fifty-two Chaos Steles, in terms of profundity alone, it ranked second! But when it came to the difficulty of comprehension, it could be called the first!

The universe is defined by the four directions and the passage of time!

Perhaps it was related to the blade light that had slashed out from that consciousness back then, which had greatly increased the clarity of his perception of the ten great laws, but Ye Muxuan felt that this Universe Chaos Stele was quite suitable for him. At the very least, this stele, which expounded upon the laws of time and space, made him quite fascinated!

Ye Muxuan secretly noted this feeling and then turned his gaze to the adjacent rubbing of a Chaos Stele.

It was a towering ancient tree with leaves that were already withered and yellow, drifting down. Leaf after leaf fell, and with just a cursory glance, Ye Muxuan felt that there were definitely over ten thousand falling leaves.

One leaf, ten leaves, one hundred leaves, one thousand leaves...

"Half a minute is up."

From one hundred leaves to one hundred and one leaves... the formation was even more complex and profound!

Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, a derivation style that was terrifying to the point of defying the heavens!

He only had half an hour, and the time spent on each image could not exceed half a minute. Every powerhouse had their own plans, so they basically spent half a minute on each image. If they couldn't become immersed within ten seconds, they would choose to view another image.

After all, these powerhouses had at least been acknowledged by one origin law, and many had already begun to create their own secret techniques. Compared to those little guys at the Star Rank or Universe Rank, they knew their own paths much better. Even if these rubbings could only convey a faint aura of mystery, if one couldn't become immersed within ten seconds, it meant it wasn't suitable for them.

Image after image, powerhouse after powerhouse. In front of every image, there were many powerhouses standing there, thirsty and eager, their eyes glowing. If it weren't for the fact that every powerhouse had their own Intelligent Optical Brain or intelligent life form to remind them, they might have been lost in a certain image for the entire half hour.

"Half an hour is up!" The black-robed envoy stood at the entrance, reminding everyone, "Now tell me your choices, and I will record them all."

"I choose the Universe Chaos Stele!"

"I choose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele!"

"I choose Giant Axe!"

"I choose Giant Axe as well!"

"I choose the Dragon Walk Chaos Stele!"

"I choose the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele!"

Ye Muxuan looked at the "Blade Maniac" Li Zheng beside him; he had chosen the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele.

"My teacher told me that I am more suited for this Chaos Stele. That's why this is the first one I looked at, and I feel it's quite good. Although I could comprehend others, I feel this one is the best," Li Zheng explained upon seeing Ye Muxuan's gaze.

Ye Muxuan nodded slightly. Li Zheng had long been acknowledged by the Origin Law of Wind, and the battle blade he used was the Extreme Shadow Blade.

As for himself...

Actually, among these fifty-two Chaos Steles, he felt quite good about more than twenty of them. After all, he had been acknowledged by the Origin Law of Wind, so he could comprehend all four Chaos Steles based on the Origin Law of Wind, including the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele. Then there were the Chaos Steles that followed the superior laws like the Law of Time—there were ten of them, and he could comprehend those too. There were even eight Chaos Steles that followed the Law of Space, such as the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, which he felt he could also comprehend.

After all, after that one incident, his speed in comprehending the Law of Space was not inferior to that of ordinary World Lord geniuses, and perhaps even faster.

"And you?" The black-robed envoy walked up to Ye Muxuan and looked up to ask him.

"I choose... the Jinghong Chaos Stele." Ye Muxuan looked at the black-robed envoy and spoke earnestly.

The black-robed envoy nodded, recorded it, and went to ask the others.

His talent, even if it was truly strong, meant that without a foundation, every step he took had to be cautious. In this Chaos City, there was no shortage of geniuses, and even less of a shortage of powerhouses! Even though he now felt that his clarity in perceiving the laws of time and space had greatly improved, he did not feel he was qualified to choose the Universe Chaos Stele and rashly attempt to cultivate both time and space simultaneously.

He did not believe his current talent could surpass that of the disciples of the Chaos City Lord, the kind that appeared once every ten million or even a hundred million epochs. And even for such geniuses, not everyone could comprehend both the laws of time and space at the same time.
