"Lord, he was the one who wanted to kill me! I was just trying to save my own life. I didn't lay a hand on him! I'm innocent!" Leibo's face was full of terror as he begged for mercy, completely losing the fighting spirit he had displayed earlier.
"I only regret that I couldn't kill you!" the minotaur Weitesi'er roared in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at the lean man.
The two were about to argue when the city lord's voice rang out again, devoid of any emotion. "Suppress them, expel them from the Initial Universe, imprison Weitesi'er in the Ninth Star Domain Prison, and escort Leibo to the Second Starfield Prison."
"Yes!"
As soon as the order was given, five streaks of blood-red Flowing Light flew out from not far away. These people were the law enforcement team from Chaos City, each of them a powerful Immortal.
Faced with the enforcement team, the two Immortal Expert, who had already suffered heavy injuries, dared not utter a single complaint and obediently followed the enforcement team, boarding a blood-red spaceship and leaving.
Upstairs in the city lord's tower, the middle-aged man said, "The city lord's decision not to execute them is already an act of leniency; they're lucky. However, being imprisoned in the Starfield Prison, I'm afraid..."
"What kind of place is the Starfield Prison?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"That's a place where life is worse than death. Immortal means an infinite lifespan. Even if you don't perish there, you'll collapse on your own. The chances of surviving are extremely slim," the middle-aged man said, shaking his head.
" Weitesi'er, you're such a fool for a minotaur! He paid a huge price to enter the Initial Universe. No matter how deep the hatred, you shouldn't have made a move in Chaos City. How stupid!"
Zhang Junbao was filled with emotion. What kind of hatred could drive an Immortal Expert to spare no effort, even chasing him all the way to Chaos City, even knowing he might die, just to kill his opponent?
Luo Feng and the others were also shocked by what they had just witnessed.
"Those two Immortal are simply too powerful. They casually cleaved through space and shattered the heavens with a single blow!"
"It was clearly pulverized, but it miraculously recovered all at once. What's going on?"
"What do you know? Those two Immortal have cultivated to the Undying Body.' Every cell of theirs is infused with Spiritual Imprint. Even if they are reduced to ashes, as long as there is a single cell fragment, they can quickly absorb energy and restore their bodies to full strength."
" Undying Body?"
"What's so scary? The most terrifying one is the city lord. His true form didn't appear; he only used his will to easily suppress the two Immortal. Even space was stopped, and time was frozen."
Even the Law of nature remained completely unmoved, obeying his commands without question. What terrifying power this was!
" Control of Space-Time? Dominating the rules?"
Not only were the geniuses who had just entered Chaos City shocked, but even the other powerful figures were also filled with emotion. Many of them had cultivated in Chaos City for countless years, but this was the first time they had witnessed the Chaos City Lord make a move, and the terrifying power he possessed left them utterly astonished.
"That's terrifying! I've followed my father for so many years, and I've never seen such a powerful expert." Wuka shouted. "I've seen my father fight before. His opponent was a Universe Country Lord, and he was incredibly powerful. He could instantly shift space and shatter a star field with a single blow. But compared to the Chaos City Lord, his power is still somewhat lacking."
The Chaos City Lord, could he be a peak powerhouse a level higher than the Universe Country Lord? Just now, I even felt that the entire Initial Universe belonged to him.
"This is what a peak expert looks like! I've only just stepped into the threshold of the Law, and I'm already smug. Those two Immortal were easily suppressed by the Chaos City Lord, what am I!" Rong Jun grinned and shouted wildly.
"I will strive to cultivate and become Immortal, then surpass Immortal to become Universe Venerable, or even a powerhouse at the level of the Chaos City Lord. I will stand at the pinnacle of cosmic powerhouses!"
Rong Jun realized that since the Genius Battle, he had indeed become a little complacent. The title of genius had made him think he was already very strong. In fact, compared to true powerhouses, they were nothing!
"No wonder Junbao said we should broaden our horizons. I've decided, I'm going to challenge all the past geniuses too!" Rong Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded an aura of dominance.
"Let's set a small goal first: choose a past genius and then try our best to defeat him!" Zhang Junbao went with the flow, shifting everyone's focus to the previous genius.
Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Bolan, and Wuka all nodded; this was a good method.
With this stimulus, they lost interest in chatting and wasting time. Some looked up to watch the Law operating in the void, while others lowered their heads in contemplation, all entering a state of cultivation.
There were over a hundred of them, each a prodigy, a peerless genius from any Universe Country. But even the most exceptional geniuses... a new batch emerges every five thousand years! How many geniuses would there be in billions of years?
genius?
What's the one thing Chaos City has in abundance: geniuses?
But how many beings like the ' Chaos City Lord ' have been born in the hundreds of millions of years since then?
Others are no less talented than them, and they have been cultivating for a longer time. The only way to surpass them is to work even harder!
A short while later, Zhang Junbao suddenly heard a voice. "Come here, it's your turn!"
Zhang Junbao opened his eyes and saw Luo Feng still deep in thought. Without making a sound, he quietly left and flew towards the edge of the training ground. Accompanying him were Death God Bolan and about ten others.
Zhang Junbao and Bolan led the way, followed by seven or eight others.
They followed the Black-Robed Envoy into a corridor that was over 60 meters wide and 120 meters high. On both sides of the corridor were towering bronze gates.
Just as Zhang Junbao saw in the Virtual Universe chamber, each Bronze Giant Gate was about 160 meters long and 120 meters high, and each bronze gate had ancient characters on it.
' Mother Ancestor ' ' Giant Axe ' ' Long Xing '...
However, here, a kind-looking old man stands in front of each bronze gate.
However, the old men in front of each bronze door all looked exactly the same, even their auras were completely identical, and they all had a vertical eye between their eyebrows, which was very strange.
Finally, they stopped in front of a bronze door engraved with the word 'universe'.
"We've arrived. This is the ' Universe Chaos Stele '!" the Reception Envoy announced. The three-eyed old man guarding the entrance bowed.
"Lord Kandri!"
"Hmm." The three-eyed old man smiled as he looked at Zhang Junbao and the others, "A new batch of youngsters from Virtual Universe Company?"
"Yes!"
The Black-Robed Envoy spoke respectfully. Then, he turned to Zhang Junbao and the others and introduced them, "This is Lord Kandri, the guardian of the Chaos Stele cultivation chamber."
Before each of these 52 Chaos Stele, in front of a cultivation chamber, stands an Clone of Lord Kandri. He has guarded this place for millions of epochs and is one of our most respected powerhouses!
Zhang Junbao and the others bowed in greeting.
Million Era?
In the universe, one era is equivalent to 10,081 Earth years, and this Lord Kandri has been guarding this place for billions of years.
Just thinking about that number made Zhang Junbao and the others' scalps tingle.
They've lived to this day, and they're not even worth a hair on someone else's head.
This is a great and powerful being whose lifespan exceeds that of the Sun.
Moreover, as Human Race, he has an astonishing 52 Clone, and perhaps this is not even his limit. Even the Golden Horned Beast, a being of the pinnacle of cosmic bloodline, only has three Clone.
Just how strong is he?
This guardian has lived for over a million epochs, while even Hu Yanbo has only roared for six thousand epochs.
"Greetings, Lord Kandri!" The group bowed respectfully, and even Zhang Junbao was completely convinced. In front of the Guardian, he had nothing to be proud of.
Even disregarding ability, their age alone is enough to earn their respect.
"Hehe, you're all good young men. The future of the human Human Race depends on you!" Kandri laughed.
Zhang Junbao pondered to himself, the Genius Battle is held once every five thousand years, and only one batch of geniuses enters Chaos City every five thousand years. Of these geniuses, how many can become Immortal, how many can reach the King Rank, and how many can become Venerable?
The man before me, Lord Kandri, is definitely a Universe Venerable, and a powerful one at Venerable; otherwise, the Virtual Universe Company would not have entrusted him with the safekeeping of such an important treasure.
For him to say that the future depends on young people like them is truly absurd. It's even more ridiculous than a national academician telling a three-year-old that the future of the country rests on their child!
Before Lord Kandri, they were not much different from toddlers learning to walk.
Soon, the secret chamber door of the Universe Chaos Stele opened, and a group of people came out, while Zhang Junbao and the others entered.
The layout of the secret chamber was the same as the Virtual Universe secret chamber that Zhang Junbao had seen before. The difference was that the real secret chamber used extremely dense Chaos energy, which could help cultivators improve their Law Comprehension.
"This is the real Chaos Stele; Chaos Stele Law fluctuations are indeed more pronounced than those simulated in the Virtual Universe."
The Universe Chaos Stele contains only five images.
The nine Star in the first picture;
The Second Diagram is a constellation;
The Third Diagram is an incredibly complex and vast nebula.
The Fourth Diagram is of another humanoid life form.
There is also a fifth image, a yin-yang fish pattern without eyes.
Zhang Junbao had already studied all of these pictures; now, all he needed to do was to fully understand the first picture again.
Above the Star, space and time intertwine; some see changes in space, while others see the strangeness of time itself.
This is one of the reasons why the Universe Chaos Stele is known as the most difficult Chaos Stele to comprehend. If one's understanding of the two Law of spacetime is insufficient, one cannot even fully comprehend the first image, let alone continue.
"Time and space, though opposing, are interdependent. Without the change of space, time loses its meaning. Without the flow of time, space would be completely frozen."
But why would you ask how to separate time and space?
"The first picture is relatively simple, with nine Star. Individually, each star carries the mysteries of the Space Law. When multiple Star are combined, it is the Time Law flowing. So that's how it is..."
In Zhang Junbao's eyes, the nine Star in the first picture were constantly changing and combining, and the Law contained within them also changed with the different combinations.
The other dozen or so people were all completely absorbed in it, each of their eyes focused on a particular Star in the first picture.
Zhang Junbao's gaze, however, became increasingly focused, no longer concentrating on a single Star, but rather on the changes throughout the entire painting.
Time flies when you're focused on something; when your attention is completely absorbed in one thing, time passes in the blink of an eye.
"Boom..."
The bronze gate slowly opened, and Kandri's voice came through.
"Come out..."
Kandri's voice kept echoing in their minds, growing louder and louder until everyone was fully awake. The booming sound echoing in their minds made everyone involuntarily cover their heads.
Swoosh...
More than ten people rushed out and left the secret room before the voice in their minds disappeared.
Some people were about to leave when Kandri called them back, "Don't go yet, there are still some things I need to tell you!"
Kandri briefly explained the search for Cultivation Residence for the next thirty years and the application to Heavenly Bridge in the Virtual Universe.
Zhang Junbao and the others did not linger and quickly left the city lord's mansion.
With limited cultivation pavilions available, a large number of people had already completed their comprehension of the Chaos Stele and were searching for suitable Cultivation Residence. They too must find suitable ones as soon as possible.
The streets are lined with countless buildings, many of which are still empty. However, finding a satisfactory place to stay will require some effort.
"While a quiet place is sufficient, it would be ideal if the Law Comprehension left behind within suit one's own taste."
Although there are many vacant residences here, each group of people will subconsciously choose places that are conducive to their cultivation. Over time, this will easily lead to the formation of some 'high-quality residences' with special Law biases.
Along the way, Zhang Junbao has discovered many unusual dwellings, some brimming with sword energy, some flickering with firelight, and others chilling to the bone.
These are the treasures that have been formed through the insights and experiences left behind by each generation of residents.
"Hmm? Near the City Lord's Mansion, there's actually a surge of both the Law of space and time. Not bad, let's go take a look."
When Zhang Junbao arrived at this residence, he sensed a faint Spacetime Distortion permeating the small building. If someone who was not proficient in the Space-Time Law stayed here for a long time, they would even feel dizzy and unable to stay.
" Spacetime Distortion has actually formed here. It seems that its previous owners must have been people skilled in the Path of Time and Space. Although it can't compare to the spacetime passage when entering the Initial Universe, it's better than nothing."
This is a good opportunity to see what valuable things the previous cultivators left behind!
Perhaps the entry threshold was too high, as no one else chose this small building, and Zhang Junbao easily claimed it as his owner. As the color of the doors gradually changed from light white to dark gray, Zhang Junbao officially became the new owner of the small building.
He didn't wait for Luo Feng to come out, since the two cultivated different paths and chose different places to live. However, Zhang Junbao discovered a small building not far from here suitable for cultivating with the Gold-Space element. If Luo Feng didn't mind, they could choose that place when he came out.
