Zhang Junbao naturally chose the " Universe Chaos Stele," while Luo Feng chose the " Nine Universes Chaos Stele."
As for Rong Jun and Wuka, both of them followed the berserk attack style and chose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele together.
" Junbao, why didn't you choose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele? The Giant Axe Chaos Stele was left behind by the founder of the ' Giant Axe Arena.' It has immense power, and if you cultivate it to its peak, you could even kill Universe Country Lord!" Wuka asked curiously.
"The best path is the one that suits you best. The Giant Axe Chaos Stele is indeed the strongest, but the Universe Chaos Stele is equally impressive. Moreover, the Universe Chaos Stele is very suitable for me, just as the Giant Axe Chaos Stele is suitable for the two of you."
Zhang Junbao said.
"I've heard that the Universe Chaos Stele is even more difficult to comprehend than the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, yet its power is inferior. Only super geniuses like you dare to choose it. However, it seems that Bolan has also chosen the Universe Chaos Stele, so it looks like he wants to have another competition with you."
Wuka glanced at Bolan was not far away, and said.
"Competition is a good thing. Maybe we can even learn from each other, don't you think, Bolan?" Zhang Junbao reached out and pulled Bolan, who had a proud look on his face, over.
Anyone else who dared to treat him like that would probably be killed by Bolan, but Zhang Junbao completely ignored his stubbornness and forcibly pulled him over.
"Stop looking so long. My target isn't this year's geniuses at all. If I'm going to challenge anyone, it's the geniuses from previous years. The greatest fun is in defeating them all," Zhang Junbao said.
"You're amazing! Even the geniuses from the previous generation have cultivated for at least five thousand years longer than us. We've only been cultivating for less than a thousand years, and you dare to challenge them!" Wuka said, giving a thumbs up.
In the universe, only the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena host the Genius Battle. The two powers take turns hosting it, once every five thousand years, and once every ten thousand years. The previous generation of Zhang Junbao and his group were geniuses recruited by the Giant Axe Arena.
"Everyone needs to have dreams, otherwise what's the difference between them and a salted fish? Genius is meant to be surpassed."
" Bolan, stop staring at me all the time, it's useless. Think about what your goals are and walk your own path. Otherwise, you'll never have a chance to keep up with me."
"I have made great progress in these three years, I don't believe it!" Bolan said firmly.
"We're also curious, Junbao, you've been in seclusion for the past three years, what level has your cultivation reached?"
Rong Jun asked.
"No rush, you'll find out soon enough," Zhang Junbao said mysteriously.
Soon, the selection of one thousand people was completed. They were all led by the black-robed Reception Envoy to a training ground in the city lord's mansion. The place was very vast, stretching for tens of kilometers in length and width, making the one thousand people appear extremely small.
Not far away, at the end of the training ground, there is an entrance that is thirty meters high. Through it, one can go to the place where the real Chaos Stele is located for comprehension.
"There are currently twelve occupied secret chambers, and the remaining forty are empty. I will read out the forty remaining Chaos Stele chambers, and you will be assigned to them for meditation. Remember, you must not make noise or disturb others' cultivation."
As he spoke, the black-robed Reception Envoy read out the names of the Chaos Stele one by one, and more than eight hundred of them transformed into streams of Flowing Light and left.
"The other twelve Chaos Stele chambers are all occupied and must not be disturbed. You will need to wait a maximum of three days before you can enter!"
The Reception Envoy looked at the remaining hundred-plus people and said, "You can wait on the city tower of the city lord's mansion for now. The cultivation conditions here are quite good. I will inform you who it is your turn."
Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Savage Rong Jun, and the others had no choice but to turn around and leave.
"What a coincidence, none of us were among the first to comprehend it," Rong Jun said, shaking his head.
"It's normal that some people happen to be there because we chose the Chaos Stele, since it had the most people there."
" Luo Feng, not many people chose the ' Nine Universes Chaos Stele,' yet someone actually chose it," Wuka said.
"What, you look down on my ' Nine Universes Chaos Stele '?" Luo Feng said irritably.
"No, the Giant Axe Chaos Stele was left by the founder of the Giant Axe Arena. Among those World Lord and Immortal, the Giant Axe Chaos Stele is the most popular choice. But your Nine Universes Chaos Stele is still quite promising to be ranked alongside the Giant Axe Chaos Stele!" After saying that, Wuka couldn't help but cover his stomach and laugh.
"Little Wuka, I've noticed that three years of life on the spaceship have blinded you. Is it the beautiful women on the spaceship that gave you this confidence? It's been so long since you've had a competition. How about I loosen up your muscles sometime?" Luo Feng said with a mischievous grin, putting a hand on Wuka's shoulder.
"Let's compete! Who's afraid of who!" Wuka said confidently. He had also worked hard for the past three years and was confident that his progress would be no worse than Luo Feng's.
"Why doesn't anyone want to compete with Junbao? His Universe Chaos Stele is the most difficult to cultivate. If we don't succeed, we'll surpass him very soon!" Rong Jun raised an eyebrow and said.
" Rong Jun, do you know, there's a saying in our hometown, 'If you don't court death, you won't die.' It's pretty much..."
"It's time for you to put on a wild howl for everyone!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile when he saw Rong Jun's provocative gaze.
"I'd like to try too," Bolan suddenly blurted out. He had also chosen the Universe Chaos Stele and was waiting outside with Zhang Junbao and the others.
"Fine, this is a rare opportunity to torment Zhang Junbao, so I'll reluctantly give it to you. Bolan, give him a couple more punches!" Rong Jun had already seen through the situation. He originally thought he was getting himself into trouble, but Bolan actually jumped out to take the blame for him, so he quickly retreated.
"That's right, Bolan, beat him up!" Wuka immediately urged.
As for himself, he would absolutely not go.
"Hahaha... Not bad, everyone's quite confident. I'm ready to accept any challenge, whether it's Bolan or Rong Jun. But if you lose, don't blame me for drawing a turtle on your face with the power of the Law. As long as you can remove it with your own power of the Law, you can challenge me again!" Zhang Junbao laughed.
His words were absolutely devastating!
Competitions between geniuses are common, but to have a turtle drawn on the face of the loser—who can stand that? We're all top geniuses in the universe; why should we be suppressed by you?
"Of course, if I lose, you can do the same!"
" Bolan, Rong Jun, go! You can do it!" Wuka urged from the side.
Bolan and Rong Jun were both very hesitant. Losing to Zhang Junbao was not a shameful thing, but they still had to save face because of the humiliation of having a turtle painted on their faces.
"At worst, I'll go into seclusion for a while! I don't believe I can't eliminate the power of the Law he left behind."
In any case, Wuka himself wouldn't go up, and at this point, the Prince of Manka Star had already begun to back down.
We're normal people, we don't compare ourselves to freaks!
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at the top of the city wall.
Looking up, wisps of Chaos energy drifted slowly. Taking a deep breath, I felt a sense of comfort from the inside out, as if the genes within me were cheering.
" The Initial Universe, how comfortable!"
Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, and the others all relaxed and let loose.
"You are all winners from the Virtual Universe Company's Genius Battle?" A middle-aged man in a golden robe walked over. "In the blink of an eye, another five thousand years have passed!"
"Um."
Zhang Junbao and the others nodded.
"They really are young!" The middleman had a faint smile on his face, perhaps because he hadn't seen so many newcomers in a long time, and he was quite interested in chatting.
He pointed to the Chaos Qi floating by, "These currents, which we call ' Chaos Qi,' are different from the various Cosmic Energy with attributes in the Original Universe, and also somewhat different from the Universe Origin Energy that are mixed together. Chaos Qi is a strange power with the ability to give birth to all things."
Once inhaled, it will gradually improve one's constitution.
"Of course you'll feel comfortable surrounded by Chaos Qi," the middle-aged man chuckled.
"Unfortunately, Chaos Qi can only exist in the Initial Universe. Once it enters the outside world, it will decompose into energy of various attributes!"
"The primordial Chaos energy? The origin of all things?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"That's a novel idea!" The middle-aged man showed approval. "You could say that Chaos Qi is the mother of all energies, the origin of all things!"
Zhang Junbao fell into deep thought; among those present, no one understood better than him what this meant.
Is there any special relationship between the origin of all attribute energies and the origin of all Law power?
Chaos gives rise to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give birth to all things. What is the relationship between this Chaos Qi and the Chaos described in ancient Huaxia civilization?
Just then, news of a riot broke out in the distance.
" Weitesi'er!!!"
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, exploded, causing a violent ripple in the distant Chaos world, and the entire world trembled.
A minotaur wielding Giant Axe axe is chasing a super-powerful being who controls the power of lightning, causing a huge commotion.
The axe was swung, cleaving the vast sky.
The lightning cleaved through the sky with a terrifying power akin to divine might, causing Zhang Junbao and the others on the city lord's tower to pale in shock.
The sheer power of the two sides in the battle deeply shocked these geniuses who had just arrived in Chaos City.
Even the slightest residual force could blast them to death.
However, as the core area of Initial Universe, Chaos City possesses powerful protective capabilities. An invisible protective shield, appearing and disappearing intermittently, blocked all the aftershocks of the battle outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The power, once it reached this place, felt like a gentle breeze.
" Weitesi'er, how dare you fight in Chaos City?" The middle-aged man in the purple-gold robe looked into the distance and exclaimed in surprise, "How can this minotaur be so reckless?"
"Breaking the rules? Just kill them outright, regardless of right or wrong!" Zhang Junbao shook his head. "Unless there's an immense hatred involved, even the most irrational person wouldn't choose such a suicidal method!"
" Weitesi'er has only been in Chaos City for a few days, and he's already fighting with Leibo?"
"To make a move in Chaos City is tantamount to courting death, isn't it?"
The Chaos City, shrouded in primordial Chaos, stretched as far as the eye could see. Within the city, countless powerful beings from the cosmic realms on their cultivation platforms were awakened by the battle. Most opened their eyes and gazed at the two figures in the distant sky.
"Roar!" The tall, powerful minotaur giant, with bloodshot eyes and a face full of rage, swung his Giant Axe and shattered a bolt of lightning!
With every gesture, the surrounding space shattered, and Chaos Qi surged wildly.
The powerful figures in the vicinity all recognized the two individuals. The minotaur Weitesi'er and Leibo, whom he was chasing, had a blood feud. Even so, they shouldn't have fought within Chaos City.
Although the others watched, none of them intervened to stop the fight; no one wanted to be caught in the crossfire.
"Snort!"
A cold snort suddenly rose, piercing the sky like an ancient roar, darkening the entire world and suppressing the power of the two combatants. Even the spatial rifts that had been cleaved in the sky were rapidly repaired, the flowing Universe Laws suddenly stopped, and even the Chaos Qi ceased to move.
In the distance, the two powerful pursuers also seemed to be bound by an immense power, unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, endless Chaos Qi surged in, condensing in the void into a gigantic palm comparable to a mountain peak. The pressure emanating from the palm was extremely terrifying, and with a single strike, it pulverized the two combatants into dust.
Before everyone's eyes, the bodies and souls of the two Immortal Expert, ' Weitesi'er ' and ' Leibo ', were completely reduced to dust!
This is the consequence of violating the rules of Chaos City!
On the city wall, the group of geniuses remained silent, not daring to utter a sound. Whether it was the terrifying fluctuations during the battle or the colossal hand that shook the heavens, it was a terrifying power they had never seen before in their lives.
A moment later, the powder in the distance suddenly coalesced, condensing into two figures: a giant minotaur and a man surrounded by lightning.
At this moment, both of them were pale, completely lacking their previous imposing presence, and their auras were weak.
