Chapter 37, The True Spirit of Chaos
There were no such "Chaos Beasts" in the primordial universe, so even with Ye Muxuan's experience, he didn't know the exact strength of this Chaos Beast. However, even if it were an ordinary Immortal-level Chaos Beast, he wouldn't be afraid!
Not to mention, this is most likely only at the World Lord level. If there were truly Immortal-level Chaos Beasts, the City Lord's Mansion would probably have already sent someone to deal with them, since for those normal Universe-level Domain Lords or even most World Lords, Immortality is simply beyond their reach.
Ignoring the massive body that was over a thousand meters long, a cold glint flashed in Ye Muxuan's eyes. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and in the next instant, the blade flashed and disappeared.
One cut, two pieces!
The first move of his self-created sword technique, a Marquis-level sword technique, is Wind Slash.
The Wind Shadow Blade was sheathed, and the Chaos Beast's massive body was evenly cleaved in two, crashing heavily to the ground. The splattered golden blood, along with the cleaved hides and bones, began to decay and decompose in mid-air, instantly transforming into chaotic currents that dissipated. At the same time, a bright green dot of light also floated in mid-air.
This is the true spirit of chaos!
Ye Muxuan reached out, and the power of the world controlled the emerald green light spot, sending it into the Origin Pearl.
Boom boom boom...
When the Origin Pearl touched the emerald green light spot, the entire inner world trembled slightly, and the five light spots of different colors located at the center of that inner world also flickered slightly.
Ye Muxuan focused his mind on sensing the changes in the Origin Pearl. After a long time, he was able to sense subtle changes in the soul core inside the Origin Pearl.
He could feel that his understanding of the laws had subtly improved.
Although it is small, it is not negligible, and this applies not only to the fundamental law of wind, but also to the other nine fundamental laws.
You must know that he was already at the peak of the Realm Lord, and the transformation of his soul core had reached its limit. If he wanted to transform again and achieve a leap, the only way was to break through to immortality!
Now, his soul core has undergone a subtle transformation, and even another indescribable change. Instinct tells him that acquiring the Chaos True Spirit is likely the greatest gain from this journey into the initial universe, perhaps even surpassing the comprehension of the Chaos Stele!
Ye Muxuan frowned, his eyes calm as still water. In a flash, Ye Muxuan disappeared into the vast wilderness.
The hunt has begun!
Six months later, on the rooftop of a dark gray building above Chaos City, a man clad in black armor suddenly appeared and stepped onto the roof. No one paid any attention to this scene.
Sitting quietly on the rooftop once more, Ye Muxuan looked up at the primordial law patterns that appeared and disappeared in the sky. Inside the primordial pearl, the "Ye Muxuan" formed by the soul core had a storm brewing in his eyes!
Nearly 130,000 years have passed since Mu Xuan's birth. Even when he took control of this body eight or nine years ago, there was no sense of disharmony. This was because he had already coexisted with Mu Xuan when Mu Xuan was still a weak planetary-level being, fighting and growing alongside him like a second personality, until now, nearly 130,000 years later, he has completely taken control of this body.
However, in these nearly 130,000 years, or more precisely, 129,600 years, neither he nor Mu Xuan discovered that he, and both of his souls, were incomplete!
Even at the very last moment, trapped in the dream and reincarnated dozens or hundreds of times, allowing the two souls to completely merge into one, becoming the only Ye Muxuan, the other Muxuan's soul had dissipated, and his soul was also incomplete!
Ye Muxuan's eyes suddenly flashed within the Origin Pearl!
On the outer battlefields, there are many human warriors from cosmic secret realms, second only in sheer numbers to the humans within the Divine Kingdom. However, this only includes those Domain Lords and World Lords below the Immortal level. At the Immortal level, even among Military Lord Immortals, those from cosmic secret realms are extremely rare. He had never encountered any, and had only heard of some Immortals from cosmic secret realms in military bases. As for Immortals from the Divine Kingdom? He had never even heard of them!
For a realm lord to break through to immortality, three things are indispensable: comprehension of laws, control of the body, and most importantly, mental consciousness and will.
The mind and consciousness are like soldiers, willpower is the general commanding them, and the soul is the vessel carrying both mind and consciousness. Eleven thousand years ago, he had already reached the peak of the Realm Lord level, and one hundred thousand years ago, he gained the recognition of the Wind Origin Law. Theoretically, at that time, he was not far from immortality! He had powerful and skilled generals, and his willpower was comparable to those who had been granted titles of nobility or kings. However, his soldiers—his consciousness—were only at the level of an ordinary Realm Lord, far from comparable to a typical peak Realm Lord! Therefore, even if he could perfectly control his body, and his understanding of the laws had reached or even exceeded the standard, he still could not break through the barrier of the Origin Pearl, nor could he communicate with the ocean of primordial laws of the original universe. Immortality remained hopeless!
If the previous Bridge to Heaven was a deliberate attempt to only reach the thirteenth level, then the Illusionary Sea was a genuine stop at the fourteenth level, and this was also related to his own consciousness.
Even the most formidable and skilled general, if he has few elite soldiers under his command, let alone the old, weak, sick, and disabled, how can he conquer cities and territories?
Before entering the initial universe, he was unaware that humans born from cosmic mysteries inherently possess incomplete souls. Therefore, without some extraordinary encounter to mend this incompleteness, it's virtually impossible for their soul core to remain stuck at the final stage of complete transformation, making immortality virtually impossible. But the Chaos True Spirit mended this incompleteness! This is why, throughout Mu Xuan's tribe, while there have been Domain Lords and even World Lords in every generation, the strongest have only ever been World Lords; no immortal has ever emerged!
In the past, because everyone knew that achieving immortality was extremely difficult, it was normal not to succeed.
While it's not necessarily true that all life forms born in secret realms throughout the universe are like this, and it could very well be an isolated case in the secret realm where Mu Xuan is located, the fact remains that he and his people have already encountered it.
But now...
Ye Muxuan, who landed on the rooftop, had a slightly flickering gaze, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
……
The City Lord's Mansion, Chaos Ruins.
The gentle-looking man in white robes turned his gaze from the young man on the rooftop to his disciple beside him and said, "It seems this little fellow has discovered it."
"Teacher..." The Chaos City Lord, who was in charge of the initial universe, looked at the white-robed man beside him. Even though several years had passed, he still felt disbelief.
Compared to the little guy who came from a secret realm of the universe and is now absorbing the true spirit of chaos to repair his soul's defects, and is about to break through to immortality, he is obviously more concerned about his teacher.
"I told you before, this is just a wisp of consciousness that narrowly escaped suppression. Calling it a stragglers is an exaggeration; it's not even my own will. I was only able to condense this body by relying on the primordial power of this small universe, barely comparable to an immortal. Now, let alone leaving the initial universe, if I appear in the primordial universe or the cosmic sea, I'm afraid that primordial will will suppress me again." The gentle man in white robes looked at the Chaos City Lord. "Or, this time, he might just kill me outright."
"However, I will not admit defeat!"
