Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 59 The Gaze of the Chaos City Lord

"boom……"

The gates of the white jade palace swung open to both sides with a loud bang.

Instantly, thousands of young geniuses flew out of the palace and landed on the ancient rock platform.

At that moment, everyone felt as if they had broken free of some kind of shackles, and felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

"I'll come to pick you up in 30 years!"

The voice of Venerable Jade City emanated from the white jade palace.

Then the white jade palace rose into the air, transformed into a stream of light, and instantly disappeared from its original location, disappearing into the vast and boundless chaotic mist.

At this moment, a black streak of light flew in from a distance and landed in front of everyone.

"Your Highnesses, I am the guide from Chaos City."

A man in black robes appeared before the group, smiling as he looked at Yu Duan and the others: "This city is Chaos City, jointly managed by the five top powers. Your Highnesses, please do not wander around. Follow me."

Immediately, Yu Duan and the others, led by the guide, entered the streets of this ancient city.

There are rows of small buildings along the street.

On the rooftops of some small buildings, figures of all shapes and sizes sit cross-legged, some with their eyes closed in contemplation, others muttering to themselves, all engrossed in studying something.

Above Chaos City, at various spatial rifts.

Countless complex and profound law patterns emerged from the cracks, forming all sorts of intricate patterns and containing mysterious law fluctuations.

Beside these spatial rifts, one could vaguely see some towering figures standing there.

At this moment, some people's eyes fell on Yu Duan and his group.

"Oh, this batch of kids has exactly one thousand people. It seems that the new round of the Genius Battle has come to an end."

"The host is Envoy No. 26. It seems that this year's competition is a genius battle hosted by Virtual Universe Company."

"You two are completely oblivious to what's going on outside. This time, the Genius Battle has produced two incredibly talented youngsters, one named Kodi and the other named Yu Duan..."

Several powerful figures casually discussed Yu Duan and the others, and some of them expressed their intention to take them as disciples.

The geniuses they mentioned, such as Yu Duan and Ke Di, arrived at the true core of Chaos City, the City Lord's Mansion, under the guidance of the guide.

This is an ancient building that is about 300 meters high, and it is majestic and magnificent compared to the many smaller buildings.

Many geniuses looked up at the plaque above the city lord's mansion entrance.

The three large characters above conveyed a vast and profound artistic conception, causing many people to stare blankly at that moment.

"Your Highnesses, please snap out of your daze. I will now take you to select the Chaos Stele."

The black-robed messenger spoke, his voice containing a hint of power that awakened the consciousness of those who had been staring blankly.

……

When Yu Duan and many other talented young people entered the city lord's mansion.

A bald man in a fiery red battle robe stepped into the deepest part of the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion is divided into an inner mansion and an outer mansion. The outer mansion is open year-round and bustling with people. The inner mansion, located at the deepest part, is heavily guarded.

In the center of the inner palace, there is a quiet, ancient courtyard.

At the entrance to the courtyard stands a stone tablet inscribed with the three ancient characters "Chaos Ruins".

Stepping into this courtyard will take you into an ancient world.

This world is vast and desolate, with all sorts of corpses on the ground. Some of these corpses are enormous, almost like celestial bodies, while others are much smaller than humans.

But these corpses all shared a common characteristic: they all exuded a terrifying aura that would frighten even immortal gods.

At this moment, the figure clad in a fiery red battle robe walked through the Chaotic Ruins, gazing at a figure in the deepest part of the entire world. That figure sat cross-legged in mid-air, wearing a retro-style dark red battle armor, with a tail extending from under its battle skirt, a ferocious and grotesque appearance, and two crimson horns growing from its forehead.

This supreme being sat cross-legged here, as if he were the center of the entire world, the source of all time and space.

Because he is the true ruler of Chaos City, the supreme controller of the Virtual Universe Company—the Lord of Chaos City!
"teacher."

The man in the fiery red battle robe approached and respectfully bowed in greeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in dark red battle armor opened his eyes. His eyes were calm and deep, like an endless and vast starry sky.

"Teacher, the seeds selected from this year's Genius Battle have entered Chaos City," the fiery red-clad man hurriedly reported.

"I see……"

The calm voice of the Chaos City Lord rang out, and then his eyes pierced through layers of time and space, seeing through endless illusions, and finally landed on Yu Duan and the other thousand geniuses.

The five top powers recruit core members, and whether they are geniuses selected through the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle, or recruited through other channels, they must enter Chaos City once.

One reason for this is to allow these geniuses to choose a Chaos Stele to establish the general direction of their future path, making it easier for the powerful figures of various schools to select disciples.

On the other hand, it is also to investigate whether there are any beings among them who have been possessed by other races, so as to prevent them from being cultivated in the end and becoming a tool for others to benefit.

Unless they become immortal gods, the Lord of Chaos City can see their soul essence with just one glance and understand the true nature of these young people.

"Ok?"

"The fluctuations of the Heart of Spacetime, a hundred times the level of life's genetic makeup—"

The Chaos City Lord's gaze was immediately drawn to Kodi, his eyes penetrating the infinite microscopic.

Then I saw endless black and white mysterious patterns spreading and intertwining in the Kotina gene chain, faintly stirring the power of time and space.

"This kid has good luck and willpower, no wonder he's making such rapid progress."

In the past, when tens of thousands of geniuses entered Chaos City, the Chaos City Lord would only glance at them and find them to be ordinary and unremarkable.

Even if there is some opportunity, it will only be a low-grade one.

This little guy named Koti is able to fuse with the Heart of Time and Space, which is almost impossible for flesh-and-blood beings.

The compatibility between flesh-and-blood life forms and treasures like the Heart of Time and Space is very low; attempts to fuse with such beings almost always result in genetic collapse and death.

Therefore, being able to merge with the Heart of Time and Space and survive is a miracle in itself.

On the scale of the entire universe, Kodi's opportunity can be considered a top-tier opportunity, second only to the special encounters bestowed by the original will of the universe.

"But this little guy named Yu Duan has an ordinary life form bloodline and no special genetic features, yet he possesses a life core."

The Lord of Chaos City, with his penetrating gaze, could naturally see the life core floating deep within the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is not normal; only beings with powerful bloodlines possess a life core before reaching the Domain Lord realm.

Yu Duan's lineage, by all accounts, has nothing to do with being powerful.

Through that life core, the Chaos City Lord was able to see Yu Duan's soul origin, confirming that Yu Duan's identity was not in question and that there was no possibility of him being possessed.

Above the life core of Yu Duan, the Chaos City Lord also saw some colorful patterns, which had a strange charm.

Those secret patterns must be complex patterns formed by the manifestation of some kind of innate "talent secret technique".

However, there is no trace of innate ability in Yu Duan's genetic makeup; it is only found in that special life core.

Considering all these anomalies, there is only one most reasonable explanation.

That is the secret technique of talent, which is acquired later in life.

The only way to acquire innate secret techniques after birth, besides possessing another body, is basically through the primordial universe.

"This little guy's willpower is so extraordinary, then the effect of this talent technique... is most likely related to willpower and soul."
