Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 161 The Strongest Genius

Outside the gate of the Lord's Mansion in Chaos City.

As soon as Zhou Yang arrived, a gentle voice rang in his mind.

"Go and pay your respects to the city lord first, then come and see me."

"Yes, teacher."

Zhou Yang bowed slightly to the corridor on one side of the City Lord's Mansion before striding towards the inner courtyard.

His actions on the battlefield outside the domain caused such a commotion that he naturally attracted the attention of the Lord of Chaos City.

Upon learning that he was about to return to Chaos City, they summoned him here directly.

"Your Highness has arrived."

"Your Highness Zhou Yang."

Along the way, the immortal god guards on duty in the city lord's mansion greeted Zhou Yang politely.

Their information network was naturally far more advanced than that of ordinary immortals, and they had already heard many rumors about this Prince Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang continued forward and soon arrived at the gate of the secluded garden, which was engraved with the three characters "Chaos Ruins". He strode in.

"Buzz~"

The surrounding space and time twisted, and the next moment he found himself in a vast world filled with countless enormous corpses.

Zhou Yang walked across this vast, seemingly endless expanse of ruins, stopping after a moment and bowing respectfully:

"teacher!"

A towering figure, clad in dark red battle armor, with two fiery red horns on his forehead and a scaly tail, slowly emerged from the depths of this world.

It seemed as if endless cosmic rules were constantly intertwining and evolving around this figure.

Just one glance is enough to make you want to immerse yourself in it.

However, Zhou Yang's soul strength has now reached an unbelievable level, and he recovered from this daze in an instant.

"Greetings, teacher."

Zhou Yang bowed respectfully once again.

"You're back."

The Lord of Chaos City's eyes were like an endless starry sky.

He looked at Zhou Yang, but fell into a brief silence.

Only after a moment did a slightly wistful smile appear on his face.

"Your soul and will were already powerful, but now they have reached such an incredible level."

The Lord of Chaos exclaimed, "Moreover, you should have already gained the recognition of all ten fundamental laws. With the power of the ten fundamental laws empowering you, you will have the formidable combat strength to look down on all the kings and immortals."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh:

"However, to kill nearly 8000 powerful King-level Immortals in one move, including a large number of King-level Limit Limit cultivators and two King-level Invincible cultivators, is something I never expected. Is that your latest secret technique?"

"What the teacher says is true."

Zhou Yang nodded in agreement.

Looking at Zhou Yang's calm expression, the Chaos City Lord couldn't help but chuckle:

"You remain so calm. I was quite shocked when I learned of your record."

In the years when Zhou Yang was comprehending the secret rune of 'Law Decomposition' and perfecting the Qiankun World, he often consulted the Lord of Chaos City.

Although the Lord of Chaos City did not comprehend the fusion of laws, his understanding of the laws of time and space had reached its peak.

With expert guidance and insightful advice on key points, Zhou Yang found it quite easy.

Moreover, just as he treated Luo Feng in the original work, he created a special space for Zhou Yang in the virtual universe and set up various opponents for him.

Every time Zhou Yang defeated an opponent, the Lord of Chaos City would arrange the next enemy to fight based on his performance and the weaknesses he revealed.

It can be said that for a considerable period of time, he had some control over Zhou Yang's growth rate.

However, this control came to an abrupt end about a thousand years ago.

At that time, his disciple claimed to have gained some insights and would devote himself to perfecting a secret technique through seclusion.

Unexpectedly, more than a thousand years later, the first appearance of this secret technique resulted in such astonishing battle results!

"To kill eight thousand King-level Immortals in one move is close to the level of some mid-level Universe Venerables. This kind of heaven-defying record and heaven-defying speed of progress has far surpassed the most outstanding group of geniuses in the history of our human race."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Zhou Yang, and a slight ripple appeared in his originally calm gaze.

"I can tell you without hesitation now that you are the strongest genius our human race has ever produced in its countless ages!"

"The strongest genius!"

Hearing the Chaos City Lord's praise, Zhou Yang was also slightly excited.

Humanity has existed for countless ages, and countless peerless geniuses have appeared throughout history.

The most outstanding geniuses, such as "Kodi" and "Erosion Fire," have been regarded as benchmarks and mountains that countless younger generations of human geniuses look up to and strive to overcome. They are still often mentioned even billions of years later.

And now, listening to what the Lord of Chaos City said, he realized that he had unknowingly trampled these mountains under his feet and stood at the very top!

This sense of accomplishment is truly exhilarating.

However, this excitement only lasted for a moment before Zhou Yang completely suppressed it.

He has a vision and ambition that far exceed the reach of this world, so naturally he will not be satisfied with his current achievements.

He calmed himself down and bowed to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Teacher, you flatter me. It's just a little bit of empty praise."

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at him with considerable surprise and nodded slightly.

"It's very good that you have such a clear understanding."

The Lord of Chaos City chuckled, "So, what are your plans next? Are you preparing to break through to immortality?"

"Teacher guessed correctly, disciple is indeed preparing for a breakthrough."

Zhou Yang said respectfully, "However, it may be delayed for a few hundred years. I have a bit of luck, and my inner world is still growing. I want to wait until my inner world grows to its limit before I break through."

"Oh?"

The Lord of Chaos City's gaze fell on Zhou Yang, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It seems my disciple has quite the good fortune. However, he is my disciple, a member of my human race. The stronger and more extraordinary his fortune, the more beneficial it will be to my human race."

He suppressed his shock and nodded in approval:

"Your idea is good. The larger the inner world is, the stronger the foundation of the divine kingdom will be after breaking through to immortality."

"You have your own plan for this matter, so I won't make any further arrangements. You just need to return to the original secret realm when you break through, where my clone will be guarding it to prevent any accidents from happening."

The Chaos City Lord's tone shifted, becoming slightly more serious. "There's another matter; your identity as the King of Reincarnation is an extremely troublesome issue."

"teacher."

However, Zhou Yang unexpectedly interrupted the Chaos City Lord's words.

"A teacher does not need to conceal the identity of his or her students."

He looked at the Lord of Chaos City, his eyes revealing a rare hint of madness.

"Since you, Master, have called me the strongest genius in the endless ages of our human race, then it is not appropriate for me to remain an unknown figure. Master, you may have people spread the news that I am the King of Reincarnation. I will also demonstrate my strength by crossing the Heavenly Bridge."

Have you thought carefully about the consequences of doing this?

The Lord of Chaos City had a solemn expression.

"I've thought about it. It's just an assassination attempt by one of those top-tier clans!"

"However, there's an old saying on Earth: 'You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.' Instead of hiding, it's better to thoroughly punish them!"

Zhou Yang laughed heartily.

"Eight thousand Immortal Kings aren't enough, so I'll slay another eight thousand Universe Venerables. I want to see if they'll still dare to attack my human geniuses without any restraint!"

Zhou Yang's life genes have now reached a perfect level. Once he breaks through to immortality, if he burns his immortal divine power to unleash the "Chaos Annihilation" move, its power will probably be comparable to Luo Feng's "I Am the Universe"!

In addition, the strongest talent secret technique "Light of Annihilation" bestowed by the will of the universe's origin, an extremely powerful soul, and hundreds of powerful clones with a life gene level a thousand times higher, all of this is enough to give him the courage to speak wildly!

He had only one thought at that moment—

"Venerable ones, come and hunt me down! My hundreds of avatars are desperately needing treasures to arm themselves."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at his disciple, who had suddenly become so sharp and eloquent, and his gaze shifted.

After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Then go ahead and do it."
