Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 61 Ye Feng: I don't want the Heavenly Fire, I want the Giant Axe

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Feng's next words surprised the Chaos City Lord once again.

Ye Feng pointed to the statues, his tone extremely serious: "These beast god statues have little effect on human comprehension, but for the Golden Horned Beast, or those who comprehend the Dao of the Golden Void Beast God, their value for understanding is no less than that of an ordinary Chaos Stele."

"No less than the Chaos Monument?"

Even the Lord of Chaos City showed surprise for the first time.

His gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto the 15 statues. Although he could not immediately grasp all their secrets, the ancient, wild, and supreme laws they contained were undeniable.

It is indeed an extraordinary treasure.

Ye Feng pressed his advantage: "Teacher, this is just the result of one exploration of the secret realm. There are nine more opportunities in the future. I dare not say that I will have such a result every time, but one more similar opportunity shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

His meaning was clear: One valuable item? That's like giving money to a beggar. Not enough.

The Lord of Chaos City understood; this kid thought it was too little, he had a huge appetite.

"So you want—Treasure Points?" he asked tentatively.

Ye Feng shook his head decisively, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, finally revealing his true intentions: "Teacher, this disciple does not want the treasure point."

This disciple desires—the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele.

"hiss-

—

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but gasp.

This kid—he really dares to ask for that! Trading nine secret realm attempts for a Chaos Monument? That's an insatiable appetite.

If it were someone of cosmic caliber who dared to make such a suggestion, the Lord of Chaos City would have slapped them sober for hundreds of years.

But Ye Feng presented solid evidence—such terrifying gains from a single trip to the Blood Luo World.

In addition, there is his talent and potential.

His words carry weight with him.

The Lord of Chaos City remained silent for a long time, then his eyes became extremely solemn: "Ye Feng, the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele—I can give it to you."

Ye Feng's heart pounded wildly, and he could barely contain his elation.

"However, simply giving it to you like this won't convince everyone. You have to prove that your next nine exploration opportunities are indeed worth this price."

This proves that you, Ye Feng, deserve to possess a Chaos Stele ahead of time.

"Teacher, please speak. What do I need to do?" Ye Feng asked decisively.

The Chaos City Lord stared intently at Ye Feng and laid out his conditions: "First, I want you to conquer the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level being, within the next 1000 years. Prove that your talent and potential far surpass Kodi's, making you a true prodigy defying the heavens."

This is proof of potential.

Ye Feng nodded emphatically. He was confident that the Tongtian Bridge, with a height of around 19 stories, could be completed within a thousand years.

"Second," the Chaos City Lord said, "I want you to go to the outer battlefield as a Realm Lord. Within one era, kill 1000 alien King-level Immortals. Among them, there must be 10 King-level Limit experts."

This is proof of strength and merit.

"Hiss—" This time it was Ye Feng's turn to gasp.

One era, killing 1000 kings? And that includes the limit of 10 kings?

The title of King is bestowed upon humanity. There are only 1 humans in total. The Lord of Chaos City killed 1000 of them in one era, which is only one percent of the human race.

What's worse, it also includes the 10 limits for becoming a king?

The difficulty of defeating 10 top-tier Kings is far greater than defeating 1000 ordinary Kings.

What is the limit of being a king?

Those were super strong beings standing at the pinnacle of immortality.

Each one of them is a true super genius of their race, with extremely strong survival skills, and is the true elite and pillar of their respective races.

In the vast battlefield beyond the borders, killing even one person is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone ten.

The most critical part is that it must be completed within one era.

This is simply treating him like he's not human.

Even someone as confident as Ye Feng felt a suffocating pressure at this moment.

But for the sake of the Chaos Stele, Ye Feng nodded firmly in agreement, "Alright, Master, this disciple agrees."

"However, this disciple has a small request: after completing the mission, this disciple does not want the Heavenly Fire Chaos Tablet, but the Giant Axe Chaos Tablet."

"When negotiating terms, there has to be give and take, some things have to be given and some things have to be received." Ye Feng knew this perfectly well.

Since the teacher's task has become significantly more difficult, it's only natural that Ye Feng would want something even more challenging.

The Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele? That's not bad.

Can it be compared to the Giant Axe Chaos Stele? The difference is simply incomparable.

You don't even need to experience it yourself; just looking at the number of floors on the skybridges makes the difference immediately—one skybridge has 26 floors at the top, while the other can reach 32 floors.

What does this mean?

The Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele is the work of a cosmic overlord or an ordinary cosmic lord, while the Giant Axe Chaos Stele is the work of the founder of the Giant Axe, who stood at the height of a true god, and may even contain insights at the level of a true god.

Of course, Ye Feng was very clear-headed. Equipping the giant axe Chaos Tablet did not mean that he could immediately become a true god.

The path of the Lord of the Universe may be followed by those who came before, but the hurdle of the True God must be traversed by Himself, a path that is uniquely His own and cannot be replicated.

"Teacher, I dare to ask—I wish to exchange for the Giant Axe Chaos Stele." Ye Feng's eyes were burning as he laid his cards on the table.

The Lord of Chaos City was clearly taken aback, staring at Ye Feng without saying a word for a long time.

After a long while, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his voice deepened: "Ye Feng, your talent is exceptional and your achievements are remarkable, which I have all witnessed. But the path of cultivation is vast and boundless, and you have only taken a few steps. Do not—aim too high."

He raised his voice: "The Chaos Stele, is it some child's play? Can it be replaced so easily?"

He had high hopes for Ye Feng, who was considered perfect in terms of talent, willpower, and temperament. How could he suddenly change?

Whether it's heavenly fire or a giant axe, it makes no difference to Ye Feng, who currently only has a dozen or so floors on the Tongtian Bridge.

The difference between the two is something that only cosmic overlords need to consider after reaching the twenty-fourth level of the Sky Bridge.

According to the Chaos City Lord's estimate, even if Ye Feng were to go as fast as he could, it would still take him dozens or hundreds of epochs to reach that level.

We can change it later; there's plenty of time.

Changing now? It's too early.

That's incredibly stupid.

They're even more foolish than those geniuses who try to run before they can walk, and who also cultivate the Dao of Time and Space.

The Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele uses fire to manipulate space, perfectly aligning with Ye Feng's recognition of the laws of fire and space.

The Giant Axe Chaos Stele? That's a completely different approach. The operation of the laws and the casting of secret techniques are entirely different.

This is tantamount to Ye Feng giving up the advantages he has worked so hard to accumulate and starting from scratch on a path he is unfamiliar with.

"Could it be that being stripped of his qualification for the secret realm has caused him to lose his composure?" The Chaos City Lord could only try to think positively and understand his disciple's "willfulness."

Concerning the core secrets of the equipment slots, Ye Feng couldn't explain. He could only steel himself, his eyes unwavering: "Teacher, there are some things—I cannot say them plainly, and please believe that I am not acting rashly. This Giant Axe Chaos Stele will be far more important to my future than the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele. Far, far more important."

He cried out in his heart: It's more than just big. Equipping the giant axe Chaos Monument, he directly gained the insights into the laws of a top-tier fifth-order universe master and the prototype of a true god-level secret technique.

If he takes some time to digest and integrate, Ye Feng will be able to take off from the spot and directly approach the level of a universe master like the Lord of Chaos City.

The Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele, at best, only touches the threshold of becoming a master of the universe.

How can this be compared? If there's a chance to go further, Ye Feng will naturally do his best to seize it.
