The Void

The flow of time on the Origin Continent is very slow, and space is also highly stable. When Luo Feng was chasing the Blood Cloud God Lord, he burned divine power and used his blade technique to tear through space, but that was only the most superficial layer of space.

The Chaos Layer is located deep within the layers of space.

Most Chaos Masters cannot enter the Chaos Layer on their own. The simplest way is to ascend against the current through the 'Chaos Void,' which directly leads to the Chaos Layer.

"Rumble~~~"

Endless chaotic energy, stretching beyond sight.

When Luo Feng ascended against the current from the void hole, it was initially narrow around him, but the further he flew upstream, the more spacious it became until it was utterly boundless! Luo Feng understood, "This should be the Chaos Layer."

"Such dense chaotic energy, spreading everywhere," Luo Feng observed his surroundings, feeling as if the Chaos Layer was an endless ocean and the chaotic energy was the seawater! He was like a fisherman just entering the ocean to explore.

"The leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree is truly magical," Luo Feng glanced at the leaf he carried. The leaf continuously emitted invisible fluctuations, which naturally enveloped Luo Feng.

Within this range, the Chaos Layer did not repel Luo Feng at all.

"Carrying this leaf, it will completely wither within an era, which is plenty of time," Luo Feng was quite satisfied, curiously observing the Chaos Layer.

He saw the endless chaotic energy surging, and in various parts of the Chaos Layer, the chaotic laws manifested in solid forms, making the Chaos Layer even more dazzling.

"These randomly manifested chaotic laws are all different," Luo Feng observed, "Some chaotic laws glow brightly with golden light, some are pale blue like frost, and others are silvery white... The external appearance of the chaotic laws varies slightly depending on their manifestation."

Chaos contains infinite possibilities.

With slight transformations, it can manifest as 'Chaos Gold,' 'Chaos Fire,' 'Chaos Thunder,' and other forms.

Once the chaotic laws are mastered, they can lead to any primordial path.

"The essence is singular, but the manifestations are diverse," Luo Feng thought, "Countless cultivators, regardless of what system they train in or what techniques they develop, ultimately aim to reach the chaotic laws."

Luo Feng flew slowly around, observing the random manifestations of the chaotic laws and carefully comprehending them. Each different manifestation brought him unique insights.

As Luo Feng was carefully comprehending the laws, suddenly—

A fiery red light shot out from the chaotic currents, heading straight for Luo Feng.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng was startled, instantly burning his divine power and reaching out to grab the fiery red light.

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

However, under Luo Feng's burning divine power, the strength of his perfect divine body was enough to surpass that of the newly advanced bloodline cultivation system's Chaos Masters. Of course, if those Chaos Masters had cultivated for long periods and improved in all aspects, their power would be far beyond Luo Feng's.

At this moment, simply grabbing a small creature was still easy for Luo Feng.

"What is this?" Luo Feng examined his palm and saw that he was holding a fiery red insect. Its surface had a shell like fiery red glass, and although it appeared very small, its struggling strength was considerable, comparable to the Vice President of the Blood Python Society, Lai Mo.

"Is this a creature from the Chaos Layer?" Luo Feng recalled the information he knew. The Chaos Layer, filled with endless chaotic energy, naturally nurtured some unique creatures.

These creatures have extremely low intelligence and act purely on instinct, making communication impossible.

"Master's information records that the creatures of the Chaos Layer feed on chaotic energy and act purely on instinct. Their bodies contain varying amounts of chaotic laws. Due to their low intelligence, their strength is generally at the Eternal level. Those who reach the 'Chaos level' are extremely rare, and those with highly unique body structures have long been captured alive by some major forces on the Origin Continent," Luo Feng observed the fiery red insect in his palm. "It's said that if these creatures can't consume chaotic energy, they will starve to death, and their bodies will eventually disintegrate and return to the world."

Starve to death?

On the Origin Continent, even the weakest cultivators can absorb energy from the world and won't starve to death.

But these creatures from the Chaos Layer, with strength ranging from 'Eternal to Chaos,' must feed on chaotic energy. If they don't, they'll starve to death, and their bodies will disintegrate and return to the world.

"You can't find any 'Chaos level' creatures in the Chaos Layer because they are too precious and have long been captured alive," Luo Feng looked around.

For him, the Chaos Layer was very mysterious.

But for the top entities on the Origin Continent, sweeping through the Chaos Layer is probably a breeze, which is why they allow their descendants to come here for training without worrying about danger.

The Eternal True Gods who come to the Chaos Layer are all elites nurtured by powerful forces, with deep accumulation in all aspects. Comprehending a few Chaos level techniques is the most basic expectation, and their strength generally reaches the level of General Yong and Blood Cloud.

For them, the Chaos level creatures in the Chaos Layer that have been captured no longer pose a threat, and even those that are stronger still act purely on instinct and pose no threat to their safety.

"Snap." With a slight force, Luo Feng crushed the struggling insect in his palm.

Its body shattered into dozens of pieces, each still struggling to merge back together.

"Such strong vitality," Luo Feng observed as his divine power seeped into the fragmented parts, detecting traces of chaotic laws.

"In the Chaos Layer, the chaotic laws can manifest in solid form at any time, with each manifestation being different. Perhaps, at some point, a small creature will form. These creatures of the Chaos Layer can be considered as the solid manifestation of chaotic laws," Luo Feng thought.

At the City Lord's Mansion in Hu Yang City.

The Eternal True Gods of the five great families gathered together to bid farewell to the Princess 'Yu Shui Tianyu.'

"Your Highness, Luo He has gone to the Chaos Layer through the Chaos Void and has not yet returned," the City Lord of Hu Yang whispered.

Earlier, Yu Shui Tianyu had said she would depart by daytime the next day, which was actually to give Luo Feng an opportunity! As long as he sought out the Princess before she left, he could still approach her.

But once she returned to the capital and reported to her father, Luo Feng would miss the chance to become her disciple! After all, given the King of Yu's status, if one rejects his offer once, there won't be a second opportunity.

Yu Shui Tianyu shook her head gently, "It seems he really has no intention of becoming a disciple. With such strength, he likely already has a formidable inheritance and might be a disciple nurtured by a major force."

The City Lord of Hu Yang nodded in agreement.

On the Origin Continent, it's normal to have multiple masters. When weak, one might take an Eternal True God as a master; when stronger, one might take a Chaos level or even a God King as a master! This is all very normal.

Luo Feng's refusal to become the disciple of the King of Yu naturally led them to many speculations.

"Let's go, you don't need to see me off any further," Yu Shui Tianyu waved her hand, and a large ship appeared in the sky. She immediately led her followers to fly toward the ship. Among her entourage were also the Black Butcher and his disciples.

This time, the Black Butcher brought nine disciples and some family members and servants. After all, following the Princess, it would be impossible for her to personally cook every meal. For ordinary guests, the disciples could handle the cooking.

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

"Who would have thought that I'd be going to the capital?" Suo Zi's heart was still unsettled. The previous night, when the master suddenly returned, he immediately gathered his nine most favored disciples and asked if they were willing to go to the capital with him, saying they would be following the Princess.

The nine disciples were somewhat dazed but didn't hesitate and all agreed.

Going to the capital! Following the Princess? How could they pass up such an opportunity?

"Suo Zi, Brother."

Among those seeing them off was also Suo Yun.

Since the Black Butcher became an Eternal True God, Suo Yun had been much more enthusiastic towards Suo Zi. Now, with tears in his eyes, he was bidding farewell to his brother.

Suo Zi, flying towards the ship, nodded slightly at Suo Yun below.

No matter what differences they had, they had grown up together in the same tribe. Now that they were about to part ways for good, it might be difficult to meet again in this life.

"Suo Zi, we're going to the capital."

"Who would have thought that I, a lowly True God from Hu Yang City, after learning the culinary arts from Master, would first become a Void True God and now be heading to the capital," the other disciples of the Black Butcher were also incredibly excited.

Among these disciples, two had brought their families. The Princess had already bestowed a cave mansion upon the Black Butcher, so housing some family members and servants would be easy.

"Whoosh."

As the large ship traversed space and time, disappearing completely from the sky above Hu Yang City, the group that had come to see them off began to disperse.

Suo Yun silently watched the scene.

"I've tried everything, even risking my life to seize every opportunity, yet I'm still only a mid-level member of the dark force 'Qianshan Tower' in Hu Yang City. But Suo Zi, just by following the Black Butcher to learn culinary arts, first became a Void True God and now goes to the capital, even following the Princess," Suo Yun couldn't understand how their fates had diverged so dramatically.

Is it really just fate?

In the Chaos Layer.

Days passed, with Luo Feng diligently comprehending the manifestations of the chaotic laws, while also encountering numerous attacks from the creatures of the Chaos Layer. These creatures, though acting purely on instinct, were all highly aggressive.

Luo Feng captured many of these creatures, even dissecting them to study their bodies closely. However, once released, these creatures would quickly flee, clearly driven by instinctual fear.

One day, as Luo Feng was carefully observing the chaotic law manifestations, suddenly—

A silver light appeared from the chaotic currents, flashing like a silver blade towards Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, as usual, burned his divine power and reached out to grab it! Though it seemed a simple motion, it contained profound meaning, and the clumsy silver light couldn't escape, being caught by Luo Feng.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng felt a sharp pain in his right palm as the silver light burst out from his grasp and stopped at a distance.

Luo Feng looked at his palm in surprise. A bloody wound had appeared, cutting through the layers of skin and muscle, with blood dripping.

"It can actually hurt me? This strength is comparable to that of Blood Cloud," Luo Feng was stunned.
