Chapter 77: The Chaotic Layer

The flow of time within the Origin Continent was exceptionally slow, and the stability of space was equally profound. When Luo Feng pursued the Blood Cloud Divine Lord, the burning of his divine power to unleash sword techniques that tore through space only scratched the surface, affecting merely the shallowest layers of space.

The Chaotic Layer, however, resided within the deepest recesses of space.

For most Chaos Dominators, relying solely on their own power to enter the Chaotic Layer was an impossible feat.

The simplest method was to traverse the “Chaotic Ruins” against the flow, allowing one to directly reach the Chaotic Layer.

“Rumble~~~”

An endless, boundless expanse of Chaotic Power stretched as far as the eye could see.

As Luo Feng ascended against the current from the void chasm, the surroundings initially felt constricted. Yet, the more he flew against the tide, the more vast and boundless it became, until it reached complete immensity! Luo Feng understood, “This should be the Chaotic Layer.”

“Such concentrated Chaotic Power permeates everything.” Luo Feng surveyed his surroundings, feeling as though the Chaotic Layer was an endless ocean, and the Chaotic Power was its seawater! He was like a lone fisherman venturing into the sea for the first time.

“The leaves of the Void Derivation Mother Tree are truly miraculous.” Luo Feng glanced at the leaf he carried, which constantly emanated an invisible spatial fluctuation, naturally enveloping him.

Within this range, the Chaotic Layer did not reject Luo Feng in the slightest.

“Carrying this leaf will prevent repulsion, but after about one cycle, it will wither completely. Still, that should be enough time,” Luo Feng thought, satisfied. He observed the Chaotic Layer with the curiosity of a child.

Endless Chaotic Power surged, and throughout the Chaotic Layer, segments of solidified Chaotic Laws manifested, adding to the layer’s dazzling splendor.

“These randomly appearing Chaotic Laws are all different.” Luo Feng noted, “The dazzling and radiant Chaotic Laws radiating golden light, the frosty, pale white Chaotic Laws, even the silvery-white Chaotic Laws… Even slight variations in the manifestation of the Chaotic Laws resulted in different appearances.”

Chaos possessed infinite possibilities.

With a slight transformation, it could manifest as “Chaotic Gold,” “Chaotic Fire,” “Chaotic Lightning,” and various other forms.

Once one mastered the Chaotic Laws, it would be possible to advance towards any original source Grand Dao.

“The essence is singular, but the manifestations are diverse.” Luo Feng mused, “Countless cultivators, regardless of the cultivation system they practice or the techniques they comprehend, ultimately strive to reach the Chaotic Laws.”

Luo Feng flew slowly around, observing the materialized Chaotic Laws that randomly manifested, carefully comprehending and learning.

Different manifestations gave Luo Feng different insights.

Just as Luo Feng was carefully comprehending, suddenly—

A streak of fiery red light suddenly emerged from the chaotic energy and shot directly towards Luo Feng.

“Hm?” Luo Feng was startled. Instantly burning his divine power, he reached out and caught the fiery red light.

The fiery red light twisted and struggled in Luo Feng’s palm.

However, with Luo Feng burning his divine power, the power erupting from his perfect divine body was enough to surpass those newly advanced Chaos Realm experts of the bloodline cultivation system. Of course, those Chaos Realm cultivators, after cultivating for countless years and improving in all aspects, would possess a power Luo Feng could not compare to.

At this moment, catching a small creature was an easy task for Luo Feng.

“What is this?” Luo Feng examined his palm. In his hand was a fiery red worm, its carapace like fiery red glass. Although seemingly small, its struggling force was comparable to that of Vice Guild Leader Lai Mo of the Blood Python Guild.

“A Chaotic Layer creature?” Luo Feng already knew this from the information he had gathered. The Chaotic Layer contained endless Chaotic Power, and naturally, it had also given rise to some special creatures.

These creatures possessed extremely low intelligence and acted purely on instinct, making communication impossible.

“My master recorded in the information that the creatures of the Chaotic Layer feed on Chaotic Power and act purely on instinct. Their bodies contain varying amounts of Chaotic Laws. Because their intelligence is too low, their strength is generally at the Eternal Realm level. Reaching the ‘Chaos Realm’ is extremely rare; those with extremely special body structures have already been captured alive by some of the major powers of the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng looked at the fiery red worm in his palm. “It is said that once it can’t devour Chaotic Power, it will starve to death, and its body will completely disintegrate and return to heaven and earth.”

Starve to death?

Even the weakest cultivator in the Origin Continent could absorb the energy of heaven and earth and would never starve to death.

But these Chaotic Layer creatures with strength between the “Eternal Realm and Chaos Realm” must feed on Chaotic Power. If they had nothing to eat, they would starve to death, and their bodies would disintegrate and return to heaven and earth.

“It’s impossible to find Chaotic Layer creatures with ‘Chaos Realm strength’ in the entire Chaotic Layer, because they are too precious and have already been captured alive.” Luo Feng looked around.

For him, the Chaotic Layer was magical.

But for some of the top existences in the Origin Continent, sweeping through the Chaotic Layer was probably an easy task, so they allowed their younger disciples to cultivate here without worrying about danger.

The Eternal True Gods who could come to the Chaotic Layer were all elites cultivated by major powers, with deep accumulation in all aspects. Comprehending a few Chaos Realm techniques was the most basic requirement, and their strength generally reached the level of General Yong or Blood Cloud.

For them, after the “Chaos Realm strength” Chaotic Layer creatures were captured, the remaining creatures, even if they were stronger, only acted on instinct and could not threaten their safety.

“Snap.” Luo Feng exerted a little force on the worm, which had been struggling in his palm, and crushed its body.

The body shattered into dozens of pieces, each still struggling to merge into one.

“Its vitality is really tenacious.” Luo Feng observed, divine power permeating the broken parts, and he could also detect traces of Chaotic Laws.

“Within the Chaotic Layer, Chaotic Laws can materialize at any time, and each manifestation is different. Perhaps at some point, a small creature will form. These Chaotic Layer creatures can be considered solidified manifestations of Chaotic Laws,” Luo Feng thought. …

Hu Yang City, the City Lord’s Mansion.

Many Eternal True Gods from the five great families gathered to respectfully see off Princess Yu Shui Tian Yu.

“Your Highness, Luo He followed the Chaotic Ruins and went to the Chaotic Layer. He has not returned yet,” the City Lord of Hu Yang City said in a low voice.

Previously, Yu Shui Tian Yu had left the next day to give Luo Feng a chance! Before she left, Luo Feng could have sought out the Princess.

But once she returned to the royal capital and reported to her father, it would be too late for Luo Feng to change his mind and become a disciple! After all, what was the status of the Lord of Yu? He would not give a second chance after being rejected the first time.

Yu Shui Tian Yu gently shook her head, “It seems that he really has no intention of becoming a disciple. With his strength, he must already have a powerful inheritance, and he is probably a disciple cultivated by some great power.”

The City Lord of Hu Yang City nodded in agreement.

In the Origin Continent, it was normal to have multiple masters. When weak, one might become a disciple of an Eternal True God, and when strong, one might become a disciple of a Chaos Realm or even a God King! This was very normal.

Luo Feng’s refusal to become a disciple of the Lord of Yu naturally led them to have many guesses.

“I’m leaving. You don’t need to see me off anymore.” Yu Shui Tian Yu waved her hand, and a huge ship appeared in the high sky. She immediately led a group of her subordinates to fly to the ship. These subordinates also included Black Butcher and his disciples.

!

Black Butcher brought a total of nine disciples and some family servants this time. After all, they would be following the Princess in the future, and it was impossible for them to cook every meal themselves. The disciples could cook for some ordinary guests.

The nine disciples were all trusted and liked by Black Butcher, including Suo Zi.

“I didn’t expect that I would go to the royal capital.” Suo Zi was still in turmoil until this moment. The night before, his master had suddenly returned and immediately summoned his nine most valued disciples to ask them if they were willing to go to the royal capital with him, and said that they would follow the Princess.

The nine disciples were a little dazed, but they chose to be willing without hesitation.

Go to the royal capital! Follow the Princess? How could they be willing to miss it?

“Brother Suo Zi.”

Suo Yun was also there to see him off in the distance.

Since Black Butcher became an Eternal True God, Suo Yun had been much more enthusiastic towards Suo Zi, and now he was tearfully sending off his brother.

Suo Zi flew to the flying boat and saw Suo Yun seeing him off below, nodding slightly.

Regardless of any differences between them, they were ultimately brothers who grew up together in the tribe. They would be completely separated in the future, and it would probably be difficult to see each other again in this life.

“Suo Zi, we are going to the royal capital.”

“I didn’t expect that a True God from the bottom of Hu Yang City, after learning cooking with my master, would first become a Void True God, and now I am going to the royal capital.” The other disciples of Black Butcher were also extremely excited.

Two of these disciples brought their families. The Princess had already granted Black Butcher a cave mansion, and it was easy to accommodate some family servants.

“Whoosh.”

As the huge flying boat shuttled through time and space and completely disappeared above Hu Yang City, the group seeing them off began to disperse.

Suo Yun watched this scene silently.

“I tried my best and even risked my life to seize every opportunity, but I am still only a mid-level member of Hu Yang City’s dark force, ‘Thousand Mountain Tower’. But Suo Zi has only been following Black Butcher to learn cooking, and he went to the royal capital just like that, and he can still follow the Princess.” Suo Yun couldn’t figure out why the difference in their fates was so great.

Is it really just fate?

……

Inside the Chaotic Layer.

Days passed, and Luo Feng focused on comprehending the various manifestations of Chaotic Laws, and he also encountered many attacks from Chaotic Layer creatures. Although these Chaotic Layer creatures only had instincts, each of them was full of aggressiveness.

Luo Feng also captured a lot of Chaotic Layer creatures, and even split their bodies to examine them carefully, but after letting go, the creatures would merge their bodies and run away in fright. Obviously, their instincts also knew fear.

On this day, Luo Feng was as careful as always in watching the manifestation of Chaotic Laws, comprehending and pondering.

Suddenly—

A silver light emerged from the chaotic energy, flashing like a silver blade of light across Luo Feng.

Luo Feng burned his divine power as usual and reached out to grab it! His seemingly simple reach contained a profound artistic conception, and the clumsy silver light could not avoid it at all, and was directly grabbed by Luo Feng.

“Hm?” Luo Feng only felt a pain in the palm of his right hand. The silver light had already窜out of his palm and stopped in the distance.

Luo Feng looked at his palm in surprise. A bloody wound had appeared on his palm, and parts of the skin and muscle layers had been cut open, dripping with blood.

“It can actually hurt me? This strength is no less than Blood Cloud’s.” Luo Feng was a little speechless.

Thanks to the new alliance leader ‘Ai Shechang’.
