CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 475: HUNTING CHAOS SPIRIT BEAST

"So, the Great Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Race, could it be ’Emperor Jiu Feng’?"

Wang Xu said.

"That’s right. It’s rumored that Emperor Jiu Feng experienced nine lives and nine deaths, and has cultivated the ’Chaos Undying Body,’ an incredibly powerful existence. However, Qing Fa seems to have some history with her."

You Ji said.

As the two spoke, the nine-headed phoenix had already soared across the sky, spreading its wings over 90,000 miles and revealing a nine-colored glazed floating palace in the skies above the Divine City.

The Divine City prohibits flight, but such rules cannot bind the Nine Phoenix Race, one of the great and terrifying chaotic forces.

The Nine Phoenix Race was the first great clan to arrive.

A few years later, the second great clan came.

"The Golden Crow Race."

Standing on the platform, Wang Xu looked up at the scorching and dazzling existence in the sky, like the sun.

The Golden Crow Race, one of the great clans, is said to be born from the ’Fire Origin’ of the ’Source of Chaos,’ an innate being nurtured by chaos, naturally possessing the ability to connect with the Fire Will and Law of Fire.

The arrival of the Golden Crow Race inevitably caused a stir.

"The Golden Crow clan, this Divine City was claimed first by our Nine Phoenix Race; you cannot stay!"

A grand voice boomed from the nine-colored glazed floating palace.

"Hmph! It’s precisely the territory of the Nine Phoenix Race we’re seizing!"

The Golden Crow Race was not intimidated at all.

Buzz~

Suddenly, a massive void portal was opened.

"If the Golden Crow clan dares, come in and spar with me, let me pluck your feathers!"

A seven-headed phoenix flew out from the floating palace, shouted provocatively, and disappeared into the void portal.

"We’ve never feared anyone from the Golden Crow Race, especially not you, Nine Phoenix Race!"

A Golden Crow emitting scorching heat waves flew out from the "sun" and followed into the Void Circle.

The Void Circle was sealed, and all fluctuations of primordial power could not be heard.

But everyone could imagine how fierce the battle inside was.

"The Nine Phoenix Race and the Golden Crow Race have always been mortal enemies. After so many years, nothing has changed."

You Ji laughed.

As the dispute between the two clans continued, the remaining four great clans arrived, each occupying other Divine Cities.

"Six great clans: Nine Phoenix Race, Golden Crow Race, Ke Gu Race, Celestial Net Race, Brahma Heaven Race, Fengyan Race."

Wang Xu learned the names of the great clans from You Ji.

"Are there other forces standing shoulder to shoulder with them?"

What You Ji said next surprised Wang Xu.

"Of course, while the great clans are strong, there are forces standing alongside them, like the ’Divine Palace.’"

You Ji continued, "In the chaos, creations of the Saint Venerable Dominator Realm form the Divine Sect. Creations of the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm form the Divine Dynasty. The creations of Great Emperors form the Divine Palace!"

"When Qing Fa fell, I drifted through the void fissure to the Ancient Luo Cosmos. At that time, there were fourteen Great Emperors remaining in chaos, I don’t know how many remain today, or if any new Great Emperors have been born."

So many years away from chaos, You Ji could not know the major events that occurred in chaos during all this time.

Great clans, Divine Palace...

It was as if a door to an unknown world opened before Wang Xu, broadening his perspective once again.

As the various major forces of chaos arrived, Wang Xu put aside his curiosity and began to focus on finding ways to strengthen himself.

"My physical body has reached a bottleneck. The third realm of ’Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record’ cannot be broken through without enough Constant Force. I am familiar with all three major sword techniques; what am I still lacking?"

Wang Xu pondered in his mind.

Since his master instructed Wang Xu to abandon cultivating Sword Technique, he hadn’t engaged with sword-type Chaos Secret Techniques. For him, Chaos Secret Techniques were no longer effective; what truly mattered was the Chaos Secret Scripture.

But the cultivation of the Chaos Secret Scripture is extremely difficult. Wang Xu wants to comprehend it fully in a short time, which is fundamentally impossible.

"Treasures... Secret Techniques... Body... Supreme Laws!"

Wang Xu suddenly remembered.

Since he comprehended the Law of Light, Wang Xu had almost never revisited it, always striving to enhance himself, comprehend secret techniques, and strengthen his body, having long forgotten about Supreme Laws.

Thus, Wang Xu’s comprehension of the Law of Light still remained at the "unknown" stage.

"If I can elevate the Law of Light to the ’Half-Knowledge’ or ’Prophet’ stage, my attacks will be much more powerful!"

Wang Xu thought to himself.

While Supreme Laws give a minor boost to attacks, their true effect is inflicting law wounds on the enemy, preventing quick healing.

Especially when dealing with someone at the Celestial God Realm, defeating them without Supreme Laws is extremely difficult with just Primordial Power.

Of course, law wounds are not invincible. They merely slow healing. Given enough time, law wounds can also self-heal for Celestial God Realm individuals.

"The worth of the Supreme Law lies in how severe the wounds it inflicts with its law can be on the enemy!"

It’s the same law-inflicted wound, but if one is from an "Unknown" stage Celestial God, and the other is from a "Half-Knowledge" stage Celestial God, the wound from the latter will be much harder to heal.

In other words, law-inflicted wounds can be considered as a toxin.

The higher the comprehension stage of the Supreme Law, the greater the toxin’s damage to the enemy, thus requiring more time and effort for the enemy to expel the toxin.

This time, in the contest for the Celestial God List, it has gathered at least hundreds of millions of Celestial Gods, and by then, it will inevitably descend into chaos.

At such times, a strong Supreme Law allows Wang Xu to inflict greater damage and increases his chances of survival in the chaos!

"Enhancing the Supreme Law is urgent, but the difficulty of enhancement is really high. There’s no shortcut to comprehending the Supreme Law; only by spending a lot of time feeling it can the law be strengthened."

Wang Xu pondered, "However... if I could rely on You Ji, perhaps I might reach the ’Half-Knowledge’ stage in a short time."

With this thought, Wang Xu immediately called for You Ji.

You Ji’s crimson-robed figure lazily lay in the void, but upon hearing Wang Xu’s request, he suddenly became spirited.

"Want to enhance the Supreme Law? Simple!"

You Ji grinned slyly, "By killing Chaos Spirit Beasts, if you let me devour them, not only can I help you enhance the strength of the Supreme Law, but it can also greatly increase your Life Index!"

Chaos Spirit Beasts...

Wang Xu had heard of Chaos Spirit Beasts but had never encountered them.

These creatures, born in Chaos, are a race of Spirit Beasts that are born directly into the Celestial God Realm.

However, precisely because of this, Chaos Spirit Beasts can’t advance in realms by relying solely on themselves; they can only break through to higher realms by devouring each other.

Some Chaos Spirit Beasts, in pursuit of greater strength, choose to devour Celestial Gods and other beings, using their blood to help themselves ascend in realms.

"The last feast of a million Celestial Gods you killed was excellent, this time let’s try something new and taste a Chaos Spirit Beast!"

You Ji licked his lips, salivating.

The million Celestial God corpses Wang Xu brought back from the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty had long become You Ji’s meal.

Therefore, Wang Xu ascended from the Elite stage to the Peak within merely a hundred years.

"Alright, let’s go for killing a Chaos Spirit Beast!"

...

The Illusory Mist Swamp is a perilous place; even those in the Saint Venerable Dominator Realm have a chance of meeting misfortune upon entering.

The reason is simple: within the Illusory Mist Swamp, there is a type of Chaos Spirit Beast called "Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon." They possess formidable physical bodies and terrifying body techniques, but most crucially, they roam in and out of the Illusory Mist Swamp with ease. Once they hide within the swamp, even a Celestial God a realm higher would find it difficult to track them.

Yet, despite the immense danger of the Illusory Mist Swamp, many Celestial Gods risk their lives to explore it.

The Illusory Mist Blood Cold Milk.

One of the extremely treasured Divine Medicines, it can be used as the main material in a melting furnace to refine Divine Pills, or as a catalytic material in a forging furnace to increase the success rate of forging Divine Treasures by thirty percent!

It is precisely due to its presence that countless Celestial Gods press on, willing to risk their lives to obtain a plump of Illusory Mist Blood Cold Milk.

"This is the Illusory Mist Swamp."

Wang Xu set foot on the cold ground, activating the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

There are taboos in the Illusory Mist Swamp; never easily use Primordial Qi, nor try to probe with Spiritual Consciousness.

The Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon is extremely sensitive to Primordial Qi and Spiritual Consciousness; if detected, there will be life-threatening danger!

The Mechanical Ancient Eye pierced through the surrounding dense mist, presenting the entire scene before Wang Xu.

Wang Xu stepped on the soft black soil, proceeding step by step.

The Mechanical Ancient Eye continuously analyzed the surroundings, numbers jumping layer by layer, while Wang Xu focused his attention on the Xiling Value.

Using a principle similar to searching for Divine Medicine, the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon is a Chaos Spirit Beast, hidden in the swamp where no one can find it, but changes in the Xiling Value can reveal clues and quickly make judgments.

"The Xiling Value is jumping!"

Wang Xu’s footsteps halted, and before his eyes, a red dot suddenly appeared in the green scene, the Xiling Value dramatically jumping upwards.

Drawing out the Thunder God Universe Light Saber, Wang Xu’s eyes coldly fixed on that red dot.

"The red dot is moving... does it want to circle behind me?"

Under the Mechanical Ancient Eye, nothing can hide; the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon, concealed in the swamp, planned to circle behind Wang Xu in an arc for a surprise attack.

Realizing this, Wang Xu didn’t immediately attack, but instead played along, pretending to be unaware of the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon’s intention, and continued forward.

The Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon "successfully" got behind Wang Xu, following him unhurriedly, ready to launch an assault at any moment.

But Wang Xu had no patience to engage in such a standoff.

Hiss!

Suddenly, Primordial Power fluctuated violently, and a brilliant blade light drew a dazzling white ribbon, piercing fiercely at the spot where the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon was!

Wang Xu’s strike was extremely sudden, and with the physical strength of a Hundred Generations Celestial God, the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon, hidden in the swamp, was unable to react before being abruptly penetrated by the Thunder God Universe Light Saber.

"Come out for me!"

With a flick of the long sword, the small five or six-meter body of the Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon burst forth from the ground, revealing itself before Wang Xu. (To be continued.
