Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 356: Perfect Ending!

On the same day, in addition to Marquis Xinglian announcing the news, Marquis Jueyuan also immediately responded by publicly releasing his own news and promising various benefits.

Even though the recruitment deadlines for military units in various states are approaching, a large number of people are still applying.

After all, only 70% of the powerful individuals who traveled from various states to this Star Refining Sacred Star signed up to join the army. The remaining 30% might not have had any intention of doing so, but they were tempted by the conditions offered by Star Refining Marquis and Absolute Marquis.

Any chaotic being, even a low-level chaotic being, can sign up to join the army.

After Lin Qing signed up to join the Star Refining Army that day, he immediately applied to participate in the Star Refining Army's elite selection trial.

"You want to participate in the elite selection trial?"

The female reviewer from the Star Refining Army couldn't help but glance at Lin Qing and confirm it again.

The military elites must be at least top-tier among higher chaotic beings. How dare a lower chaotic being sign up?

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded. "There's no rule prohibiting lower-level chaotic beings from participating, is there?"

"Let me remind you of something."

The examiner reminded them, "The elite selection trial has a preliminary stage. You must pass the preliminary stage to be eligible to participate in the trial. Although you can give up and admit defeat during the process, if the difference in strength is too great in the battle, there is simply no time to admit defeat."

Seeing Lin Qingping nod calmly, she then submitted the file.

……

"You also participated in the elite selection trials?"

Outside the Star Refining Army headquarters building, Lin Qing looked at the long-haired youth in front of him with some surprise. It was none other than his acquaintance, 'Su Lan'.

Then, Lin Qing suddenly looked Su Lan up and down and asked in surprise, "You broke through?"

Hundreds of years ago, when I last saw Su Lan, I was still a low-level chaotic being like him, and I wasn't confident about breaking through. Now I've actually succeeded in breaking through?
"Yes, not long after I broke through, my father insisted that I participate."

Su Lan nodded helplessly and then transmitted her voice, "It was my father who borrowed a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow from Star Refining Marquis and gave it to me so that I could successfully break through. That's why he sent me to participate in the elite selection trial and asked me to bring back a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow for him."

He couldn't help but sigh, "I've only been gone for a few hundred years. Only my inner world and divine body have had time to transform. I haven't had time to integrate the perfect mysteries of space and time into my divine skills, and I haven't had time to break through my secret techniques either. I don't even know if I can pass this elite selection trial..."

"It's already improved a lot," Lin Qing said, shaking his head.

As far as he knew, after transforming from a lower chaotic being into a higher chaotic being, the divine body would evolve from a spacetime divine body into a 'world divine body'!
The Time-Space Divine Body is not particularly special, and its inner world is quite rudimentary, so lower-level chaotic beings are unable to mobilize the power of their inner world.

The inner world of higher chaotic beings already contains a perfect spacetime mystery. This world god body can fully mobilize the power of the inner world. Not only does its own power contain the great power of a world with every move, but it can also mobilize the great power of the river of spacetime!

Therefore, once a high-level chaotic being breaks through and its divine body undergoes a transformation, its strength can immediately increase by two levels!

Once a divine skill is combined with a perfect spacetime mystery, or a secret technique is cultivated to its limit, one's strength can be raised to another level.

Not to mention, lower-level chaotic beings often don't have any powerful bloodlines, while higher-level chaotic beings can easily obtain the third-generation bloodlines of chaotic creatures, and with gradual accumulation, even cosmic treasures can be transformed to the limit of the Primordial level.

It can be said--

Once a high-level chaotic being has accumulated enough strength over a period of time and its power has stabilized, it can easily kill tens of thousands of low-level chaotic beings with a flick of its finger!
Of course, this does not include people like Lin Qing who are abnormal in every way.

"The improvement is indeed significant."

Su Lan said excitedly, "Even when I faced ordinary high-level chaotic beings, I could only barely hold my own. Now, I might actually be able to pass the elite selection trial."

"Oh?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that Su Lan was originally quite strong, and his bloodline genes are probably very unusual. Perhaps he is a second-generation bloodline of a chaotic creature?
Moreover, the ultimate treasure of the universe must have already been cultivated to the limit of the very early stage.

"Is your father still willing to invest in your upbringing?" Lin Qing said.

"And you're talking about me."

Su Lan glanced at Lin Qing and said, "At least I came to participate in the selection trial because I broke through, but you didn't even break through and you still dare to come?"

"Just giving it a try," Lin Qing said.

"You're really brave." Su Lan shook her head and said, "If I hadn't broken through, I wouldn't have dared to come and join in this fun."

Lin Qing shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing his calm demeanor, which suggested he was quite confident, Su Lan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"So confident?"

"If it's just the second-generation bloodline of chaotic beings and a Primordial Treasure cultivated to its limit, that's definitely not enough... What else? Supreme secret techniques? Combination divine skills and treasure sets? That's still not enough..."

Su Lan couldn't help but secretly speculate.

As far as he knew, the geniuses truly valued by those top forces at the King Realm only had bloodlines and genes that were 999 times the limit of the universe, and it was normal for them to cultivate their treasures to the limit of the initial stage.

Moreover, they were either once star gods or even chaos gods, capable of refining their natal treasures.

Alternatively, one can use a treasure like the 'Original Spirit' to transform a Chaos Artifact into an Origin Artifact and then nurture it into a supreme treasure of the universe.

These unparalleled geniuses almost all possessed combined divine skills, supreme treasure sets, and their secret techniques were all top-level secret techniques!
Therefore, even in the era of lower chaotic beings, they were able to overpower many higher chaotic beings!
Even so, it's not certain that one can pass this elite selection trial.

Su Lan couldn't help but be curious. Where did this mysterious Jia Lin get his confidence from?
……

The next day.

A battle platform had already been set up in the area where the Star Refining Army headquarters building was located, serving as a preliminary location for elite selection trials.

The spacetime within the battle arena, having been adjusted by the eternally existing system, spans a full million kilometers in length and width, ample enough for advanced chaotic beings to freely engage in combat.

When Lin Qing arrived at the pre-selection waiting area, the members participating in the elite selection trial had already occupied most of the seats in the waiting area, and there were at least tens of thousands of people at a glance.

"The allure of this Star Spirit Stone Marrow is truly immense..."

Lin Qing shook her head inwardly.

As far as he knew, the number of applicants for this elite selection trial exceeded 50,000.

It should be noted that there are only slightly more than 300,000 advanced chaotic beings on the entire Holy Star.

Although the Star Refining Army was only one of the fifteen state armies participating in this war, nearly 60,000 advanced chaotic beings actually joined the Star Refining Army because of the good conditions offered by the Star Refining Army.

In other words, the vast majority of the advanced chaotic beings in the Star Refining Army have signed up for the elite selection trial.

This is naturally due to the attraction of the Star Spirit Stone Marrow.

"Brother Jialin, over here."

A familiar voice rang out, and Su Lan could be seen waving at him from afar.

Beside Su Lan sat a man in blue who looked somewhat like Su Lan, who was looking at Lin Qing with great interest.

Lin Qing didn't recognize anyone, so she walked straight over.

The higher chaotic beings in the waiting area couldn't help but look at him with some surprise.

"Another lowly chaotic being?"

"This is the third one, isn't it?"

"What's their background? These lowly chaotic beings dare to participate in the elite selection trial?"

"They're probably just here to give it a try. I don't believe they can pass."

"Indeed, even we are not confident of passing the preliminary selection, let alone some lower chaotic beings."

In a group almost entirely composed of higher chaotic beings, the aura of lower chaotic beings, though relatively weak, was still far too conspicuous.

One by one, the advanced chaotic beings couldn't help but look over, their conversation revealing undisguised astonishment.

Lin Qing didn't care, but thought to himself, "Besides me, there are actually two other low-level chaotic beings?"

A moment later, after he sat down in the seat next to Su Lan, Su Lan laughed and said, "You really are dazzling, with tens of thousands of high-level chaotic beings and only three low-level chaotic beings."

Lin Qing asked curiously, "What are the backgrounds of the other two?"

As he spoke, he also noticed the two clearly very faint auras.

A beautiful young girl with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake sat alone in a corner seat. A white-haired man wearing a mask, exuding a cold aura, stood behind him with three servants, all of whom were high-level chaotic beings.

"I don't know either." Su Lan shook her head, looked at the man in blue beside her, and said, "Does Father know?"

The man in blue smiled and said, "I don't know that girl either, but I know another one, Qi Chuanyan, the youngest son of Marquis Qi Chuan. I guess he was attracted here by the Star Spirit Stone Marrow."

He then looked at Lin Qing and said gently, "Mr. Jialin, my son has mentioned you before. Meeting you today, I can see you are indeed extraordinary. You can call me 'Su Xing,' the Earl of Jiujian under the command of Marquis Xinglian."

"Lord Jiujian?" Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "I have long admired your name."

When he was researching information about Marquis Xinglian, he came across information about Earl Jiujian.

He is definitely one of the top three strongest under Xinglianhou, an undisputed peak figure among chaotic beings, and it's no wonder that he was able to get an advance of a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow from Xinglianhou.

"The youngest son of Marquis Qichuan is also a rare super genius. He is already a disciple of Emperor Juexian. It is said that after achieving eternity, he can become Emperor Juexian's personal disciple."

The Marquis of Jiujian sighed, "With the strength of this young master of the Qichuan family, it is hard to say whether he can pass the elite selection trial, but it is still possible for him to pass this preliminary selection. The Marquis also promised Marquis Qichuan that as long as Qichuan Yan can pass the first test, he will give him a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow."

"The nominal disciple of Emperor Juexian?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Xu Qingzhi is also a disciple of Emperor Juexian, and will only become his personal disciple after she achieves eternity.

“However, I don’t know the origin of the other girl,” said Uncle Jiujian. “But she has the aura of the supreme secret technique ‘Cosmic Ice Seal’ created by His Majesty the Ice Emperor. Perhaps she is related to His Majesty the Ice Emperor.”

Lin Qing was taken aback: "They all have very impressive backgrounds."

“That’s natural.” Lord Jiujian nodded. “It’s quite normal for a low-level chaotic being to dare to participate in the elite selection trial. Such a genius has received the inheritance of an emperor.”

He glanced at Lin Qing with a smile, "Mr. Jialin, you must be one too, right? I wonder if you're confident you can pass the preliminary selection?"

"I'm not sure either," Lin Qing shook her head.

“For lower-level chaotic beings, the difficulty of this trial is indeed exaggerated.” Uncle Jiujian nodded slightly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It is a blessing for my son to know such an outstanding genius as you. Since you are acquainted, as an elder, I should give you a gift according to the etiquette and customs of our hometown."

"A gift for meeting?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

Su Lan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but whisper, "Father, where in our hometown do we have this custom of giving a greeting gift?"

"Foolish boy, don't ask too many questions." Uncle Jiujian scolded him through telepathy, "Your eyesight is poor, so it's fine if you can't see it. The bloodline aura emanating from Jialin is so noble that even my bloodline feels a kind of instinctive fear. Moreover, he needs such a rare treasure, perhaps to comprehend the rules of the future. His background is definitely more astonishing than you imagine. You know such a person, why don't you get along with him properly?"

Su Lan was stunned.

He knew that his father, as a peak powerhouse among chaotic beings, was most skilled in bloodline abilities and had even collected the second-generation bloodlines of three chaotic creatures.

Everyone has their own expertise, and he knew that his father's ability to sense bloodlines was more powerful than that of many eternal beings.

But even the three second-generation bloodlines of the chaotic creatures within the father's body instinctively felt fear.

Unless it's... the bloodline of the first generation of chaotic beings?
However, even the eternal beings desperately desire to obtain a bloodline of the first generation of chaotic beings, and even Star Refining Marquis does not have such a bloodline!
Su Lan couldn't help but find it hard to believe.

How could a mere low-level chaotic being obtain the first bloodline of chaotic beings?
What a terrifying background this is!

The father and son's private telepathic communication lasted only a moment. Uncle Jiujian's expression remained gentle. He flipped his hand and took out three extraordinary treasures that exuded the aura of future rules. He smiled and said to Lin Qing, "I heard that Mr. Jialin is collecting extraordinary treasures that contain future rules? I happen to have three here. Consider them as a gift for Mr. Jialin."

"Three items?" Lin Qing was taken aback.

"Of course, this is just a bonus."

Uncle Jiujian smiled and said, "If Mr. Jialin can pass the preliminary selection, these three treasures can be taken as a congratulatory gift. If he fails, he can only choose one."

With his keen eye, he naturally believed that this mysterious young man, whose background was likely extremely terrifying, had a very high chance of passing the preliminary selection.

Even if he fails to sell the other two items, he will find a reason to sell them to the other party.

"Alright." Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "Then thank you very much, Uncle Jiujian."

He desperately needs such a rare treasure right now; perhaps one of them contains the secret of 'future vision,' allowing him to break through his current limitations?

"It's just a small gift, don't worry about it." Uncle Jiujian smiled and said, "Mr. Jialin, would you like to choose one now?"

Lin Qing observed for a moment and said, "Lord Jiujian, may I sense it more carefully?"

"Please feel free to choose." Uncle Jiujian casually handed three rare treasures to Lin Qing.

"Thank you."

Lin Qing accepted the three extraordinary treasures and immediately began to carefully sense and comprehend the mysteries of future rules hidden within their auras.

He quickly determined: "One is a combination of a small amount of the mystery of future bodies and a certain amount of the mystery of future vision, another is mainly the mystery of future bodies, and the third is purely the mystery of future vision!"

Without hesitation, Lin Qing immediately picked up the basin-like treasure and said, "This is the one."

"Alright." Uncle Jiujian smiled slightly and put away the other two items.

Lin Qing took the basin-like treasure into his body and began to devote 99% of his mental energy to studying the profound mysteries of the future hidden within.

This in-depth research made him quite delighted.

"The mysteries of futurism within this extraordinary treasure are precisely what I am relatively unfamiliar with!"

Lin Qing was pleasantly surprised.

If he's familiar with it, it means he already knows it, so it won't be of much help to him.

It's best if you're not familiar with it.

This also means that he has a good chance of breaking through!

In an instant, Lin Qing felt even more favorably toward this Earl of Jiujian.

"With the strength of Lord Jiujian, even if he were to be selected as an elite, no one would say anything. Why would he still want to participate in the preliminary selection?" Lin Qing asked.

"The Marquis has always been particular about rules."

Uncle Jiujian shook his head slightly, "Besides, I can easily pass the trial, so why would I deliberately break the rules?"

"That's true." Lin Qing nodded.

"Besides, let alone me, even that Shadowy Elder who recently joined my Star Refining Army, with his strength, still has to participate in the trial," said Uncle Nine Streams, shaking his head.

"Uncle Xiaoying?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

Lord Jiujian nodded slightly and said, "He is the personal disciple of Marquis Xuehai. It is said that he was favored by a great being from the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom. He can be considered one of the strongest beings among the high-level Chaos beings in the King Realm. Marquis did not expect that someone like Lord Xiaoying would actually get involved."

"The personal disciple of the Marquis of Blood Sea?"

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the extremely dangerous being from not long ago, which made him more serious: "Could it be Lord Xiaoying?"

At this moment, an extremely oppressive atmosphere suddenly spread, and a man dressed in an elegant white robe, but with an extremely ugly face, walked into the waiting area.

Under the oppressive force of this terrifying aura, many of the advanced chaotic beings present couldn't help but feel suffocated.

"Lord Shadow!"

"It's Lord Xiaoying!"
Some knowledgeable advanced chaotic beings immediately recognized the other party's identity.

Lin Qing slowly turned her head to look.

Xiao Yingbo's gaze swept across the room and suddenly fixed on Lin Qing, their eyes meeting.

He grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, beast-like teeth: "Found you."

The terrifying pressure spread out, and Lin Qing also sensed an intense crisis that came from his instincts. Under the pressure on his mind, his thoughts, which were trying to comprehend the mysteries inside the treasure, actually accelerated a bit.

In just a moment—

Unbeknownst to him, he had quietly overcome the last obstacle to the fusion of the mysteries of time and the rules of space—the 'future vision'.

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, the perfectly perfect and complete mystery of spacetime, 'Future Vision', appeared perfectly in his mind.
