Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 122 Lord of Chaos

In his residence in Chaos City, a wisp of Zhou Yang's consciousness remained immersed in the origin of the universe, enjoying an unparalleled and rapid improvement.

Suddenly, his consciousness trembled slightly and quickly returned to his body.

"Huh, the teacher came to see me personally?"

His gaze swept across the area and instantly spotted the kind-looking, three-eyed old man standing outside the residence.

As a sacred place for human cultivation, Chaos City has powerful protective restrictions on all residences. Even a cosmic venerable cannot forcibly break through them without the owner's permission.

He had previously shut down all virtual universe information reception in preparation for breaking through to the World Lord level.

Seeing that Kandri had come to see him in person, he must have something important to say.

"teacher!"

Zhou Yang immediately jumped off the rooftop and quickly arrived in front of Candri.

"Master, I was just immersed in my cultivation, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhou Yang bowed respectfully to Kander.

"I just arrived too."

The three-eyed old man smiled kindly, "Do you remember what I said? That when you successfully conquer the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a lord-level peak, a tremendous opportunity awaits you?"

"Opportunity?"

Zhou Yang's consciousness stirred slightly, and he quickly remembered that when he first arrived in Chaos City, Teacher Kander had indeed said something similar.

"Could it be..."

He had a slight guess in his mind.

Sure enough, Kander immediately followed up with:

"The Lord of Chaos summons you. Come with me immediately to meet him!"

The gates of the City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City are always wide open, and people frequently enter and leave the mansion to study the Chaos Steles.

But inside the city lord's mansion, at its core, there is an inner palace.

The gates of this inner palace were heavily guarded.

At first glance, the guards on duty were all powerful immortal gods.

"Lord Candry!"

Upon seeing Kandri's arrival, the immortal god guards all bowed respectfully.

These immortal deities also held this ancient guardian in the highest esteem.

"Please inform us that Zhou Yang, whom the city lord instructed, has been delivered."

Candri said with a smile.

"Oh? That's Zhou Yang?"

Upon hearing this, the immortal guards couldn't help but look curiously at the young figure behind Kander.

However, in front of Kander, their gazes were extremely restrained, and they only dared to steal glances at him out of the corner of their eyes.

An immortal being, his body wreathed in purple lightning, strode forward.

"Lord Kandri and Prince Zhou Yang, please come in. Venerable Guiyi is waiting inside."

Thank you.

Kander smiled and nodded, then led Zhou Yang directly into the heavily guarded inner palace.

"The Lord of Chaos City has protected our human race for countless years and is our true guardian. When you see the Lord of Chaos later, you must be respectful."

On the way, Kander's tone became unusually serious.

"Disciple understands!"

Zhou Yang responded respectfully.

"Um."

Kandri nodded and said no more.

The two walked along the wide corridor and soon arrived at a square paved with chaotic rocks.

Zhou Yang spotted a bald man in a fiery red battle robe standing in the distance.

He had a faint smile on his face, and his whole demeanor was very serene.

Just looking at this bald man, Zhou Yang couldn't help but calm down, as if he were vaguely merging into the vast and tranquil universe.

Everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only the bald man standing there.

"Zhou Yang, this is Venerable Guiyi, the second disciple of the Lord of Chaos City."

Kander spoke softly, snapping Zhou Yang out of his reverie.

"Hmm"

Zhou Yang woke up instantly.

"This Venerable Guiyi is too powerful; just seeing him makes me involuntarily affected!"

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Before breaking through to the realm master level, his soul strength was comparable to that of an ordinary immortal.

Upon breaking through to the realm master level, the infusion and cleansing of the world's power resulted in an incredible improvement.

Even so, he was instantly captivated the moment he saw Venerable Guiyi.

"Is this the power of a cosmic overlord? In front of a powerhouse of this level, I'm afraid I'm not even a child."

Zhou Yang quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"I have met Venerable Guiyi."

"No need for such formalities."

Venerable Guiyi smiled, a smile that seemed to have the power to infect the soul, instantly calming Zhou Yang down.

"The teacher is waiting for you, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Venerable Guiyi nodded slightly to Kandri and then turned to walk deeper into the inner palace.

Zhou Yang turned to look at Kandri, and seeing him smile and nod, he quickly followed in the footsteps of Venerable Guiyi.

Before long, the two arrived at a quiet courtyard in the inner palace.

At the entrance to the courtyard stands an ancient stone tablet with the three large characters "Chaos Ruins" imprinted on it.

"The teacher is inside. Please come in with me."

As Venerable Guiyi spoke, he led Zhou Yang into the courtyard.

"Buzz~~~"

The moment Zhou Yang stepped into the courtyard, the surrounding space and time instantly twisted.

One second he was in the city lord's mansion, and the next he stepped into a vast and desolate world.

At a glance, the endless land was littered with corpses.

Some of the corpses were as large as planets, while others were smaller than humans, but each of them exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhou Yang and Venerable Guiyi walked on this vast, seemingly endless wasteland.

At the edge of the line of sight, a blurry figure gradually became clearer.

It was a burly, tall man nearly three meters in height, wearing an incredibly complex and ancient dark red battle armor and battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.

When Zhou Yang's gaze fell on this person, he felt his very soul tremble.

At first, I only saw a figure, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if endless cosmic laws were rushing towards me.

The vast and boundless laws of the universe constantly emanated a murderous aura, causing Zhou Yang and even his soul to completely submit.

If one were to say that when he first faced Venerable Guiyi, it was as if an ordinary person were watching a magnificent sun.

So, facing the Lord of Chaos City at this moment was like gazing at the cosmos.

Vast, boundless, powerful, and profound, it utterly spurred one to abandon even the slightest thought of resistance!

"Teacher, Zhou Yang has been brought along."

When Venerable Guiyi spoke, his gentle voice calmed Zhou Yang's mind somewhat.

"Zhou Yang greets the City Lord!"

Coming to his senses, Zhou Yang quickly bowed respectfully.

"Zhou Yang?"

A calm voice rang out, and immediately Zhou Yang felt a deep gaze fall upon him.

In an instant, he felt as if his body and soul had been completely seen through.

Under that gaze, he had absolutely no secrets left!

"Incredible, incredibly powerful!"

This thought remained in Zhou Yang's mind.

After a moment, the scrutinizing gaze gradually softened, and the pressure that had been looming over Zhou Yang's consciousness slowly dissipated.

"I must say, you really gave me a pleasant surprise."

The Lord of Chaos spoke, his voice not grand and majestic, but rather filled with endless calm and profundity.

"From the time you first came to Chaos City until now, it's only been about two hundred years."

"Over two hundred years, he has continuously cleared the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the cosmic and domain lord levels, and even gained recognition from the extremely difficult Spatial Origin Law. Even with the cultivation bonus from Chaos City, it is truly incredible."

The Lord of Chaos City continued:

"Moreover, for others, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as they progress, but for you, it's the exact opposite."

"Your improvement speed is getting faster and faster as time goes on. Such an exaggerated improvement is something that even among the peerless geniuses who appeared once every tens of millions of epochs, very few could do. To be honest, even I was a little surprised."

As the Lord of Chaos's voice faded, Zhou Yang's heart trembled slightly.

The secrets within himself, such as the Meteor Tear, the Three Souls Refined Nine Times, and the mysterious secret pattern network, are all quite astonishing.

If the Lord of Chaos City really wanted to investigate, he really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the Lord of Chaos City did not intend to investigate further.

"Your performance is outstanding, comparable to the most outstanding geniuses in the history of our human race. Many people have urged me to take you as a disciple, but I had no intention of doing so at first."

The Chaos City Lord's words made Zhou Yang's heart leap into his throat.

"However, seeing you reminds me of a former disciple of mine. He also conquered the Primal Heavenly Mountain multiple times, and his rate of advancement was even more astonishing than yours."

The Lord of Chaos City's voice carried a hint of melancholy.

"So, I've changed my mind."

He looked at Zhou Yang, a gentle smile appearing on his majestic face covered with strange, mysterious patterns.

"I intend to accept you as my 32nd personal disciple. Are you willing?"
