Blood Blade King

The universe evolves, and the Initial Universe constantly repairs the rifts in time and space visible everywhere in the sky. Crystalline threads flow within the gaps, splitting and mending over and over again, endless and eternal...

Chaos City is the only ancient city in the Initial Universe.

"Rumble~~~" The pyramid-shaped spacecraft stopped above Chaos City. The cabin doors opened, and figures belonging to various branches of the human race flew out, heading toward every corner of the city.

This was not Qin Cang's first time in Chaos City. After the genius competition, he had cultivated within the city for thirty years, and when he reached the Domain Lord Level, he had utilized the benefits of being a core genius member of the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate there for a full three hundred years.

Now, this was his third time in Chaos City, and he would spend the next three thousand years here.

If converted to the time of the Primal Universe, that would be ten thousand years.

Without waiting for the Reception Envoy to speak, Qin Cang flew down and arrived in front of a three-story building next to the City Lord Mansion.

This was the residence of Qin Cang's Fourth Senior Brother, Blood Blade King.

Before Qin Cang, Demon Wing Venerable had taken five disciples, and four were still alive.

Among them, the Eldest Senior Brother, Golden Feather Venerable, and the Second Senior Brother, Mi Hao Venerable, had long since attained the rank of Venerable, and Qin Cang had only met them a few times within the virtual universe.

The Third Senior Brother, Snow Imperial King, had talent arguably on par with the Fourth Senior Brother, Blood Blade King, but his personal fortune was truly several grades lower.

Today, Blood Blade King has long been an invincible King, while Snow Imperial King remains a peak King-level powerhouse.

Between a peak King and an invincible King, the laws and secret techniques might be similar, but the actual combat power is worlds apart.

Demon Wing Venerable himself once admitted that if Snow Imperial King and Blood Blade King were to fight to the death, Snow Imperial King would not be able to withstand three moves from Blood Blade King.

One can imagine the gap in strength between the two.

Nowadays, Snow Imperial King spends his days fighting in the Universe Secret Regions and the Outer-Region Battlefield, solely to accumulate resources to trade for Heavy Treasures suitable for himself, and to seek inspiration in battle in hopes of breaking through to become a Venerable and surpassing Blood Blade King.

As for Blood Blade King, he has long since ceased to concern himself with worldly affairs, staying in Chaos City to teach the younger generation and seek opportunities to break through to the rank of Venerable, much like Zhen Yan King in the original story.

Walking into the main hall, a tall figure sat on the seat above. He had dragon horns on his head and a dragon tail on his back, signifying his origin from the Dragon-man Race branch.

He wore dark red battle armor and carried a blood-red battle blade on his back. Qin Cang knew that both the armor and the blade were Heavy Treasures. In particular, the blood-red battle blade was a top-tier Heavy Treasure with terrifying lethality, obtained by Blood Blade King himself through a stroke of luck in exchange for a long sword. Of course, while this blade was precious, it was not as valuable as the original sword, so the price difference covered this piece of armor. Blood Blade King had revealed this himself while drunk during Qin Cang's second visit to Chaos City.

As for how he obtained it, he didn't say, but it must have been extremely perilous.

It wasn't until many years later that Qin Cang realized he had been wrong; it really was just Blood Blade King's good luck. While he hadn't just picked it up off the street, it wasn't much different.

Qin Cang's timing wasn't exactly perfect; today was the day Blood Blade King was giving a lecture. The hall was filled with people who had come to listen. Seeing Qin Cang arrive, Blood Blade King raised an eyebrow, and after Qin Cang responded, he continued his lecture.

"The fundamental law operation of the third diagram of the Heart Trace Chaos Stele should be like this."

Blood Blade King spoke softly, then projected a diagram of blade technique operations.

Even as a Fighter who primarily practiced spear techniques, seeing Blood Blade King's explanation of blade techniques and the Heart Trace Chaos Stele, Qin Cang couldn't help but sigh at his senior brother's obsession with the blade.

The Heart Trace Chaos Stele explains laws through blade techniques. Even Luo Feng had listed the Heart Trace Chaos Stele as one of his backup choices when selecting a stele, though he ultimately chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, which focuses primarily on the explanation of laws.

Of course, Qin Cang had also chosen the Nine Universes Chaos Stele. After all, that stele's explanation of space was truly meticulous to the extreme. It was just unknown which Universe Master had created it.

Perhaps it was a Universe Master who had already fallen, or perhaps one who was still alive. After all, there was no rule stating that a Chaos Stele must match the title of its creator, nor was there a rule that each Universe Master could only establish one Chaos Stele.

Soon, half a day passed.

"That is all for today's lecture. Everyone, come back next time." Blood Blade King announced the conclusion.

But clearly, some powerhouses were still left wanting more, including many Immortals and even Marquis-level existences.

"Many thanks, Blood Blade King." Everyone present bowed in unison before leaving one by one, still discussing the content of the lecture as they walked.

"He truly is one of the strongest masters who attained the rank of invincible King with just a single steel blade. His understanding of the blade and the Heart Trace Chaos Stele is far beyond ours. I wonder when I will ever have the strength of Blood Blade King."

"You want to compare yourself to Blood Blade King? If I could just become a Marquis, I could petition the Ancestor..."

Soon, everyone except Qin Cang had left.

"Greetings, Senior Brother. You are as impressive as ever," Qin Cang said with a smile.

"What impressive? It's the same old story after all these years, just holed up here, seeking a chance to break through." Blood Blade King came down and responded with a smile as well.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother, since you've come to Chaos City this time, you must drink a few cups with me. I have a bottle of wine that has been brewing for a full one hundred thousand epochs, just waiting for you." Before Qin Cang could even speak, Blood Blade King had already arranged the subsequent itinerary.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'm going to be here for a full three thousand years this time, so I will definitely drink my fill with you. However, I have to make a trip to the City Lord Mansion first before I can join you for drinks," Qin Cang politely declined. Making his senior brother wait a while was fine, but making someone like the Chaos City Lord wait for him was out of the question. He had already wasted half a day.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is. That is indeed true; meeting the City Lord is a major event, and drinking with me is a minor matter among minor matters. Go quickly, you cannot keep a figure like the Chaos City Lord waiting," Blood Blade King urged, not even asking how his junior brother had managed to get an audience with the Chaos City Lord.

"In that case, I shall take my leave first, Senior Brother. Once I am finished, I will come back to have a proper drink with you."

With that, Qin Cang bid farewell to his senior brother, Blood Blade King, and headed toward the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion is located in the center of Chaos City.

The outer gates are kept open at all times, but the inner mansion has strict guards, each of whom is an Immortal God.

This left Qin Cang speechless. Who would dare to break into your territory? Was this work arranged specifically for these guards, or was it just for show?

Chaos City Lord: You guessed right.

"Clang!" Two guards blocked Qin Cang, looking at him coldly.

"I am Qin Cang, here by the order of my master to pay a visit to the Chaos City Lord," Qin Cang said respectfully.

"Oh?" These guards were masters of reading the situation. They knew that under normal circumstances, no one would dare come here, and they had long heard of the name of the person before them—the undisputed number one genius of the human race at present.

Perhaps he really had received an order to come.

"Wait a moment, I will go and report," one of the guards said with a slight smile.

Not long after, the guard returned.

"Go in. Unity Venerable is waiting for you inside."
