Chapter 299 Luo Feng's Shock and Transformation (4.4K)
Chaos City, the inner palace of the city lord's mansion, Chaos Ruins.
After Luo Feng crossed the Nine Heavens Bridge, he indeed followed the same path as in the original story, becoming the disciple of the Lord of Chaos City.
However, unlike the original story, Luo Feng not only became a disciple earlier, but his strength was also greater than that of the same period in the original story.
Following the normal trajectory, Luo Feng would have comprehended 102 spatial laws during this period, and barely managed to pass through thirteen levels of the Tongtian Bridge.
But now, he has not only passed through the fourteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but also comprehended the essence of the last spatial law after studying the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, making his understanding of the law comparable to the level of the twelfth level.
Inside the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng kneeling before him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Get up. From this day forward, you will be my disciple."
"Yes, teacher," Luo Feng stood up and replied respectfully.
"Luo Feng, I remember you're also from the Earthling lineage, right?"
The Lord of Chaos asked with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was immediately startled. He wasn't surprised that the Chaos City Lord knew about his background, but rather that he was astonished that the other party would ask this question.
"Could it be what my elder brother mentioned before, about Earth being created by a powerful alien race?"
Luo Feng's thoughts raced. This matter was information that Hong had given him in the real world more than two hundred years ago, after Hong returned to the Primal Universe from Chaos City.
It was then that Luo Feng understood why such a small planet like Earth could produce so many talented people. First, there were the three elites of Earth who had distinguished themselves, and then there was Chen Yuan, a genius who came after them and became famous throughout the universe.
After that discussion among the three brothers, they all understood one thing: before someone rises to power on Earth, the special characteristics of Earth must not be exposed.
That's why Luo Feng was so surprised when the Lord of Chaos City mentioned Earth; he almost thought that Earth's secrets had been discovered by his newly appointed teacher.
Fortunately, Luo Feng was exceptionally composed. Although startled, he remained calm and respectfully replied, "Teacher, you are wise. This disciple is indeed from Earth."
"I never imagined your planet was so remarkable."
The Lord of Chaos chuckled softly, almost making Luo Feng break out in a cold sweat. Then he heard, "A small life-bearing planet not only produced Chen Yuan, a genius who is unparalleled throughout history, but also you, a genius who can be described as one in tens of millions of eras."
"The wonders of the universe are truly amazing."
Hearing this, Luo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from his teacher's tone, it didn't seem like he was doubting the special nature of Earth, but rather marveling that the two geniuses actually came from the same planet.
However, upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's evaluation of Chen Yuan, Luo Feng's heart stirred. The evaluation of "unparalleled throughout history" was his translation into Chinese. If it were the Chaos City Lord's original words, it would probably mean "the first genius since the Great Cataclysm of the universe."
This assessment is far more impressive than any so-called "once every ten million epochs," which aroused Luo Feng's curiosity.
So he asked, "Master, it's been a while since I've seen Chen Yuan. What level has he reached in his cultivation that deserves such high praise from you?"
"Chen Yuan? Heh, no wonder you're curious."
The Chaos City Lord smiled and said, "Before breaking through to the Realm Lord level, Chen Yuan wasn't considered a particularly outstanding genius. He had only passed through the Domain Lord level Tongtian Mountain, making him a genius of the tens of millions of epochs level."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, after Chen Yuan broke through to the Realm Lord level, his experiences became increasingly extraordinary, and his strength and understanding of the laws increased at a speed that I could not comprehend at all."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Luo Feng was secretly astonished. A genius at the Domain Lord level who could break through Tongtian Mountain was actually not considered powerful by the Chaos City Lord.
You should know that even with his current strength, he would have difficulty getting through Tongtian Mountain.
Given the teacher's limited perspective, it's no wonder he only accepted me as a "nominal disciple" rather than directly as a personal disciple.
Luo Feng then heard the second half of the sentence and couldn't help but ask curiously, "After becoming a Realm Lord? Teacher, I remember Chen Yuan broke through to Realm Lord not long ago, right?"
"Yes, Chen Yuan broke through to the realm master level about three hundred years ago."
The Lord of Chaos exclaimed, "In just three hundred years, he has actually cultivated to this level. This is truly unprecedented."
Hearing his teacher say this, Luo Feng became even more curious: "Teacher, just how strong is Chen Yuan?"
"In terms of strength, he's not that much better. He's probably comparable to a King-level Invincible, which is about the same level as your teacher, King Zhenyan."
"Is his strength on par with Teacher Zhenyan Wang?"
Upon hearing this news, Luo Feng was somewhat stunned. Was this really a Realm Lord?
You should know that his Golden Horned Beast was also a Realm Lord, and now it even struggles to defeat a Military Lord Immortal. How could Chen Yuan be comparable to the True Yan King?
"Chen Yuan has already cultivated to the extreme of the Realm Lord stage, so it's not surprising that he's comparable to an invincible King."
The Lord of Chaos City smiled and continued, "What's truly terrifying is that Chen Yuan has cultivated all the laws of spacetime to near perfection within these three hundred years, meaning that both of his laws of spacetime have reached the 20th level of the Bridge to Heaven."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock.
Senseless!
He had considered that Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws was very high, after all, it was comparable to the invincible king, so his understanding of the laws of time should be able to reach the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
But to his utter surprise, Chen Yuan not only reached the peak of the Time Law, but also caught up in the Space Law in just three hundred years!
Seeing Luo Feng's surprised expression, the Lord of Chaos City laughed. You see, when Darkness boasted about this to him, he was just as surprised as Luo Feng.
Those who are truly capable understand the significance of this achievement.
To ordinary people, it might seem unsurprising that Chen Yuan could perfect the Law of Time within a few hundred years, and that he would spend another few hundred years catching up with the Law of Space.
But the Lord of Chaos City knew in his heart that if cultivating the laws were really that simple, then the human race would not have only had a dozen or so Universe Lords throughout countless eras.
"Teacher," Luo Feng finally came to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "How exactly did Chen Yuan do that?"
Luo Feng had considered cultivating the laws of time, but it was only after trying that he understood the difficulty involved.
To cultivate two superior laws simultaneously is something only a genius can do. Luo Feng only tried it briefly before decisively abandoning this path and preparing to focus on comprehending the space.
"There are two main factors that enabled Chen Yuan to cultivate so quickly."
The Chaos City Lord explained to his disciple, "Firstly, Chen Yuan obtained a treasure during his time as a Realm Lord, which gave him a top-tier secret technique for creating clones."
"Then Chen Yuan purchased an avatar with top-tier spatial law talent from the clan's treasury, thus gaining top-tier spatial talent in the universe."
"A clone with top-tier spatial talent?" Luo Feng's heart stirred, thinking of his own Demon Slayer Clan clone, and he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is this clone very strong?"
"Chen Yuan's clone is strong in some ways, but weak in others."
The Chaos City Lord briefly explained the talent of the 'Soul Devouring Domain Beast' and concluded by saying, "Due to the autonomous evolution of this clone, its strength varies depending on who wields it."
"Of course, Chen Yuan used some unknown means to cultivate his clone to its limit, and his spatial talent evolved to the extreme. This is also the reason why he comprehended the laws of space to the limit."
"Evolution to its ultimate form?!"
Luo Feng had just heard the Chaos City Lord say that evolving a clone was difficult, but then he heard that Chen Yuan's clone had already evolved to its limit.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Doesn't this mean that his clone is ten thousand times more genetically advanced than a normal person?"
"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "With a gene level of ten thousand times, combined with a secret technique of a hundred times amplitude that he cultivated from who-knows-where, Chen Yuan possesses the power of a million-fold World Lord, exceeding ten times the peak of the King-level."
"With all his treasures, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach the level of invincible king."
"I see." Luo Feng nodded. To be honest, the talent of this 'Soul Devouring Domain Beast' was really tempting, especially its ability to evolve autonomously.
Compared to the Soul Devouring Domain Beast, his own Demon Slayer Clan clone was like dirt compared to gold.
Therefore, Luo Feng was also quite interested in this clone. Hearing that the clone's remains were purchased from the treasure vault, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are there any more remains of this Soul Devouring Beast? How much would it cost?"
He thought to himself that he had also made a fortune through "Rock's Divine Water," with a net worth of billions of mixed units, so buying a clone's remains should be more than enough.
"Forget about this clone." The Chaos City Lord shook his head. "This clone is extremely valuable. It's not sold in the company's internal treasury, but only in the entire clan's treasury."
"As for the price," considering that this disciple was not yet aware of the value of the treasure points, the Chaos City Lord converted it into Hunyuan units, "It's roughly equivalent to tens of trillions of Hunyuan units."
"How many?!" Luo Feng's eyes widened. "Tens of trillions! Teacher, are you talking about the mixed units?"
"You heard me right." The Chaos City Lord smiled. "In fact, even if you had so many Chaos Units, it would be difficult to buy this remnant, because treasures in the clan's treasury can only be purchased with specific currencies."
"What I just mentioned was only the converted value of this piece of wreckage."
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Luo Feng realized that he couldn't create this clone himself.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then asked, "Teacher, you just said that this is only one of the reasons, right?"
"
"Even if Chen Yuan's clone is strong, it shouldn't be possible for him to comprehend the laws of space from scratch to their limit in just three hundred years."
Luo Feng himself specializes in spatial laws, so he naturally understands the difficulty of comprehending them.
"That's right, this powerful clone is only one of the reasons."
After a pause, the Chaos City Lord continued, "The second reason is another fortuitous opportunity for Chen Yuan. He went to a special region to cultivate, and the flow of time there is ten thousand times faster than in the primordial universe!"
"Ten thousand times?!" Needless to say, this was Luo Feng's shocked voice again.
"Yes." The Lord of Chaos City nodded and sighed, "Chen Yuan stayed inside for a full two million years before coming out. This is the main reason why he has mastered all the laws of spacetime."
Seeing the lingering shock in his disciple's eyes, the Chaos City Lord added, "Of course, that place isn't actually as good as you imagine."
Although the flow of time inside is ten thousand times that of the outside, the clarity of the laws is only one percent of that of the primordial universe.
"In other words, Chen Yuan cultivated for two million years inside, which is equivalent to cultivating for twenty thousand years in the primordial universe, but the loss of lifespan is real."
To avoid further distress to his disciple, the Lord of Chaos City did not mention Chen Yuan's lifespan.
In fact, he and several of the company's decision-makers, including Darkness, had discussed this topic before, and initially they had all fallen into a misconception.
They treated Chen Yuan as an ordinary realm master.
They all naturally assumed that even if Chen Yuan had a clone with ten thousand times the life level, his lifespan limit would only be ten million epochs.
Later, it was the Lord of Youhou who reminded him: "Teacher, fellow senior brothers, you must not forget that Chen Yuan's soul has already achieved immortality."
'
"In other words, Junior Brother Chen Yuan already possesses eternal life, because the lifespan limit of a Realm Lord is essentially the limit of their soul."
Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord and the others realized that Chen Yuan's special characteristic was his immortal soul. Since his soul was already eternal, he naturally possessed an infinite lifespan.
That's why they stopped paying attention to Chen Yuan's lifespan. They figured he could cultivate for ten million epochs without any problems, let alone a thousand epochs in a small universe.
However, given the considerable setbacks his newly accepted disciple had suffered, the Chaos City Lord hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided against continuing the attack.
Instead, he smiled and said, "How was it? Were you discouraged?"
After regaining his senses, Luo Feng unexpectedly put on a smile.
"Teacher," he slowly shook his head and said, "To be honest, Chen Yuan's experiences over the years have truly astonished me. Compared to Chen Yuan, my own experiences are nothing."
"But this is a good thing."
Luo Feng grinned widely, a hearty smile spreading across his face, clearly in a very good mood: "The stronger Chen Yuan is, the stronger my Earth lineage is, and the safer my homeland will be."
"Master, I carry the hopes of everyone in my hometown on my shoulders. I dare not relax for a moment, for I fear that if I were to meet with misfortune one day, my hometown would be left without anyone to take care of it and would be bullied by the forces of the universe."
"But now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Luo Feng wore a relieved smile and said, "With Chen Yuan here, I believe that the Earth lineage will not be bullied by anyone. This heavy responsibility of protecting our homeland no longer needs to be borne by me alone."
"Therefore, although I admit that I am far inferior to Chen Yuan, I will not be discouraged, much less give up."
A glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. "On the contrary, there is such a talented clansman who is exactly the target I want to catch up with."
Throughout Luo Feng's cultivation career, he has almost never been number one. Whether on Earth or after entering the core of the Virtual Universe Company, there has always been someone above him.
But over the years, Luo Feng has never been angry; he has only grown stronger through repeated reflection.
Now that he has been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City and has reached the pinnacle among the core members, he has heard that there is a terrifying existence like Chen Yuan above him. Naturally, Luo Feng's heart is filled with joy, not frustration.
He was overjoyed to have a new goal to pursue, and also overjoyed that his hometown had finally produced a peerless genius, a genius who could still protect his hometown even without him, Luo Feng.
At this moment, Luo Feng completely shed the burden he had carried for many years and established an even firmer belief.
At this moment, he had only one goal: to catch up with Chen Yuan!
"Having a goal to strive for is truly a great blessing in life."
Having unloaded his mental burden, Luo Feng was in a very good mood and muttered to himself, "Chen Yuan, you must keep growing stronger, or I might catch up with you."
Unbeknownst to him, Luo Feng's mind seemed to undergo a transformation, and his willpower had reached a new level.
The Chaos City Lord, noticing these changes, wore a satisfied smile.
