Meeting the Lord of Chaos City
Chapter 82 Meeting the Lord of Chaos City
We ventured deeper into the city along the streets.
Zhou Tong was led to a magnificent mansion, exuding an aura of ancient times.
Before they could observe carefully, Zhou Tong was led by Venerable Guiyi, who seemed to know the way well, and they quickly made their way through the area.
Zhou Tong remembered that the other of the three treasures of Chaos City, the 52 Chaos Steles, was located here, but they went to the inner palace, which was in a different direction, so Zhou Tong couldn't see it.
Soon, they arrived at the inner palace, which was filled with immortal guards.
"The Venerable One of Unity!"
The two immortal-level guards standing at the entrance bowed respectfully to Venerable Guiyi and immediately made way for him.
Walking in a square paved with chaotic rocks.
Venerable Guiyi suddenly spoke: "The one in charge of killing is one of my teacher, the Lord of Chaos City's three avatars. When you meet him later, you must be respectful!"
Zhou Tong nodded: "Understood!"
The two arrived at a quiet courtyard, where a stone tablet at the entrance bore the three ancient, universally understood characters: "Chaos Ruins".
One step in, and time and space shift.
The tranquil courtyard of moments ago has transformed into a desolate and bleak landscape in the blink of an eye.
At a glance, all sorts of corpses are piled up everywhere, some larger than a typical planet, while others are smaller than a normal human.
They all exuded a powerful aura, and judging from the gruesome state of the corpses, this must have been the remnant of an earth-shattering battle.
Wandering through the ruins of the battlefield, Zhou Tong followed Venerable Guiyi to the center of the battlefield.
"teacher!"
With the call of the Venerable Guiyi.
Not far from the two, a burly man over three meters tall suddenly turned around and looked at them.
He wore a complex, dark red, ancient-style armor, with a scaled tail behind him.
As the Lord of Chaos City cast his gaze upon him, Zhou Tong felt as if he were experiencing the oppression of an entire world. Vast and boundless cosmic laws surged forth like a tide, exuding an endless aura of slaughter.
Suddenly, Zhou Tong almost succumbed to despair as well.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Great Slaughter Technique runes in Zhou Tong's sea of consciousness vibrated slightly, emitting a killing aura that instantly suppressed the terrifying illusion.
"You must be Zhou Tong!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos City suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Tong, as if he had been there all along.
Only then did Zhou Tong get a clear look at the appearance of the Chaos City Lord.
He had two fiery red horns on his forehead, strange patterns on his cheeks, and a pair of deep, starry eyes that would calm anyone who looked at them.
With the respect due to the strong, Zhou Tong bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City!"
"The Hengxing level can actually ignore the illusion formed by my slight killing intent. Is this the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos?" The voice was calm, but there was a hint of inquiry in it.
Zhou Tong was not surprised by the Chaos City Lord's question; in fact, he would have found it strange if the Lord hadn't asked.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly: "Yes, but that's just one of the many great killing techniques!"
"Great Slaughter Technique? Can you demonstrate it to me?"
The Lord of Chaos City looked Zhou Tong up and down with great interest.
Zhou Tong nodded and activated the Great Slaughter Technique, emanating an extremely pure and chilling killing intent from his body.
It's a kind of killing that sees everything as expendable, nothing as inescapable of being killed.
At this moment, Zhou Tong seemed to be the source of the killing.
The Lord of Chaos City's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise rising in his heart.
This great killing technique actually gave him a completely new understanding of killing, to the point that he unconsciously emitted a murderous intent that imitated it.
Zhou Tong, who was caught in the blast, instantly broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the Great Slaughter Technique, he would probably have been seriously injured.
"I haven't mastered the Great Slaughter Technique yet, so I can't fully demonstrate it."
Zhou Tong hurriedly spoke up, also wanting to remind the Lord of Chaos City.
Withdrawing the killing intent that had unconsciously emanated from him, the Lord of Chaos City savored a new understanding of slaughter, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"You were able to comprehend the basics of all the laws at the Eternal Star level; it seems that this is also due to the influence of the Three Thousand Great Daos?"
Zhou Tong nodded: "Yes!"
"You also taught Luo Feng and the other two the Three Thousand Great Daos?"
Zhou Tong nodded again: "He only taught each of them three great principles."
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were also checked by the Chaos City Lord while he was investigating Zhou Tong's information.
Luo Feng's opportunities and talents were barely worth his attention. Hong and Lei Shen had no guidance and had managed to get to where they were today. They had good perseverance and decent talent, but they were only at the level of ordinary geniuses. Under normal circumstances, he would never have known about them.
After Zhou Tong taught them the Three Thousand Great Daos, they were all able to improve to the level of Taiyi beginner genius or above.
After a moment's thought, the Chaos City Lord asked, "Can the Three Thousand Great Daos be taught on a large scale?"
The Lord of Chaos City knew there was something wrong with his question, but the allure of the Three Thousand Great Daos was too tempting. If everyone who cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos could become a genius like Zhou Tong or Luo Feng, or even just half of them, it would be a huge boost to the human race.
The moment Zhou Tong heard this question, he thought to himself, "It's finally here."
"The Three Thousand Great Daos, in theory, are like the laws of the universe, which everyone can comprehend and learn, but they are subject to numerous limitations and enormous obstacles..."
Zhou Tong surveyed the primordial universe, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The biggest obstacle is whether the original will of the primordial universe will cooperate!"
"Boom!"
Spacetime trembled, and even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't maintain his composure, revealing a trace of his power.
The primordial will of the universe is something the Lord of Chaos is very familiar with.
His teacher, the Primordial Ancestor, was the strongest human, the creator of the virtual universe, and invincible throughout the cosmic sea, suppressing all other races so that none dared to offend humanity...
They went to challenge the primordial universe and have been suppressed ever since...
But now it's emerging from the mouth of a tiny, ephemeral star...
If it weren't for Zhou Tong's immense talent and potential, the Chaos City Lord might have already begun the soul-searching process if it were anyone else.
"You've all cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos, why are you without any problems?"
Even the Lord of Chaos City found it somewhat absurd that he had actually believed it. However, considering that Zhou Tong's Great Slaughter Technique had just been demonstrated and even allowed a top expert of his level to gain some understanding, it wasn't entirely impossible.
Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't reveal his true strengths and trump cards regarding this issue, but he did have a reasonable explanation.
This is also related to the primordial universe.
Before all living beings in the primordial universe break through to become the strongest in the universe and separate their own microcosm from the primordial universe to become independent in the cosmic sea.
They are all children of the primordial universe, and will be cared for and protected by the primordial universe. Children who perform well will even be rewarded, such as being recognized by the fundamental laws.
However, once any of these children breaks through to become the strongest in the universe and goes to the cosmic sea to be independent, they will be regarded as competitors by the original universe, and will be hostile, rejected, and suppressed.
"The stronger a cultivator of the Three Thousand Great Daos is, the greater the restrictions and repulsion they face from the primordial universe. If the strongest being in the universe cultivates this path, they might even immediately attract the suppression of the primordial universe's fundamental will!"
If the Giant Axe and the Primordial Ancestor cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos, their impact on the Primordial Universe would likely not be something like possession, but rather a Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World.
The Chaos City Lord's expression turned cold: "How do you prove it?"
Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "The master of this primordial universe, the Chaos City Lord, your teacher, the first human being, the Primordial Ancestor, who was suppressed by the origin of the primordial universe, naturally knows whether what I said is true or false based on his understanding of the origin of the primordial universe."
The Lord of Chaos City stared at Zhou Tong in astonishment. He couldn't understand how a native of the Hengxing level knew of his teacher's existence and condition.
