1087 I am the Hallowed Lord, and Shall Dominate an Era!

The Abyss City was established in the Chaotic void. It was built by the King of Deception, Andre, with supreme methods. It looked like a war fortress, sinister and terrifying. Looking at it from afar, it was daunting.

However, devils were constantly entering and exiting the Abyss City.

Ever since Abyss City was established, and the devils gained a foothold in the Chaos, they began to think about cultivation. The cultivation methods of the devils were very special. Without the Abyss, it would be very difficult for them to continue cultivating.

Moreover, most of the devils enjoyed killing and fighting. They had constant friction with the cultivators in the Chaos, but they were all limited to small-scale or individual fights. Both parties still restrained themselves.

At this moment, the King of Deception gathered the six Greater Devils under his command.

“You should have all heard that a Chaotic Origin Stone has appeared in the Chaos. It’s with that cultivator called Lin Feng.” The King of Deception, Andre, said slowly.

“Your Majesty the Devil King, we’ve all heard of it. In the Chaos, the Chaotic Origin Stone is the true supreme treasure. It’s the key to becoming a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. It should be similar to the Heart of Abyss in our Abyss. Once one obtains the Chaotic Origin Stone, they’d have a chance of becoming a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.”

Andre nodded and said, “That’s right. The Chaotic Origin Stone is actually the Heart of Abyss. It’s just that the name is different. There are a total of nine Chaotic Origin Stones in the Chaos. Currently, seven Hallowed Venerables have already consumed seven Chaotic Origin Stones. This is the eighth one now. There’s not many Chaotic Origin Stones left. Hence, we have to fight for this Chaotic Origin Stone with all we can. Although we’ve signed an agreement with the Chaos, the agreement is nothing. If we want to completely gain a foothold, we have to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone, and even become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. Only then can our Abyssal Devils gain a foothold in the Chaos and thrive.”

“Your Majesty, will those Chaotic Hallowed Venerables let us participate in the competition? After all, the Chaotic Origin Stone is their holy relic.”

The devils were all filled with doubts. Indeed, the Chaotic Origin Stone was a Chaotic holy item. Everyone knew what obtaining the Chaotic Origin Stone meant. How could those Chaotic Hallowed Venerables not know?

They definitely would not let the devils obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone so easily.

“Don’t worry, even if those Chaotic Hallowed Venerables want to stop us, I’m still here. You can fight for it without worries. Those Hallowed Venerables don’t dare to fall out with us at all now. As long as we don’t attack on a large scale, they will tolerate it. Hence, only three of the six Greater Devils need to be mobilized this time. Remember, do things in secret. When the Chaotic Origin Stone appears, all the lifeforms in the Chaos have to fight for it with their lives. You just have to wait for an opportunity.”

“Understood. We will definitely seize the Chaotic Origin Stone and offer it to His Majesty the Devil King!”

Hence, with a flash, the three Greater Devils flew out of Abyss City.

…

In the Holy City Styx, Perfected Deity Eventide knelt in front of Hallowed Venerable Styx.

“Hallowed Venerable, I, I…”

Perfected Deity Eventide was about to say something, but hesitated. However, she bit his lip, and a trace of stubbornness and indignation appeared in her eyes.

Actually, it was not just Eventide. Many disciples of Hallowed Venerable Styx had rushed back one by one, and knelt in front of Hallowed Venerable Styx.

“Alas…”

Hallowed Venerable Styx heaved a long sigh and said, “I know what you want to do. The Chaotic Origin Stone, right? However, you have to know that every competition for the Chaotic Origin Stone has been extremely dangerous. Top-notch Perfected Deities fell every time. This time, it’s even harder, because the Chaotic Origin Stone is in Lin Feng’s possession. He’s the only Hallowed Lord in the Chaos!”

At the mention of Lin Feng and the “Hallowed Lord”, the eyes of Hallowed Venerable Styx’s disciples dimmed, but the stubbornness in their eyes intensified.

“Even if he’s the Hallowed Lord, he’d struggle against many enemies. We’re not the only ones who have their eyes on the Chaotic Origin Stone. The forces of the entire Chaos are focused on him. A man’s wealth would lead to his own ruin. The Chaotic Origin Stone is his original sin. It would be fine if he kept hiding in the holy city of Chaos, but once he comes out, we can’t miss this opportunity. Hallowed Venerable, please understand.”

Hallowed Venerable Styx looked at the disciples under his command. These disciples had all followed him for a long time. Some disciples were dead, and some disciples were still around. His favorite disciple, Perfected Deity Easterly, was also dead.

“Forget it, forget it. Go, I’ll bestow you with the Demon Subduing Ring. Even Chaotic hallowed beasts can be confined for a while. Whether you can obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone will depend on your own luck.”

“Thank you, Hallowed Venerable!”

The disciples were overjoyed. Hadn’t they knelt in front of Hallowed Venerable Styx precisely for this Chaotic supreme treasure? Being able to trap the Chaotic hallowed beast for a while was enough to show how formidable it was.

At the same time, the disciples of Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, Hallowed Venerable Luster, the disciples or descendants of the other Hallowed Venerables, and so on all used various methods to plead with the Hallowed Venerables to bestow some treasures to them.

The Chaotic Origin Stone tugged at the hearts of all the Chaotic cultivators.

For a few times in the past, battles had occurred. It was said that the Chaotic Origin Stone had appeared. They resulted in heavy casualties, but in the end, it was found that the news was fake. There was no Chaotic Origin Stone at all.

Even fake news was enough to make many Perfected Deities fight to the death. Moreover, all the Perfected Deities had sensed the aura of the Chaotic Origin Stone this time.

Even the Chaotic Hallowed Venerables were certain that it was the eighth Chaotic Origin Stone!

…

In the Holy City Primum Mobile, Lin Feng was not even in seclusion.

He had also studied the Supreme Rule in the Chaotic Origin Stone. It was indeed very profound, but it was not impossible to understand. In the past, Lin Feng had wondered if this was fate that the Chaotic Origin Stone had fallen into his possession. He should be the eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

But now, he was not so sure.

This was because he could not comprehend the Supreme Rule!

In other words, even if he had not given up on the Chaotic Origin Stone and on becoming a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable, and instead devoted himself to cultivating the Supreme Rule, he still would not be able to comprehend it.

This Supreme Rule seemed to be tailor-made for a certain individual. If one was not meant to comprehend it, they could not. Perhaps there were other ways, but at least Lin Feng had no way.

This meant that the eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable was not Lin Feng!

However, this did not mean that Lin Feng would give up the Chaotic Origin Stone. Even if he was not the eighth Hallowed Venerable, he had to “select” the eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

If he did not give it away, others could not snatch it! Only by giving it away himself could an eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable be born.

At Lin Feng’s level, he could do whatever he wanted, and no longer had to worry about the outside world.

“Alliance Leader, there has been many turmoils outside recently. Some old Perfected Deities, entities even older than Chaotic Hallowed Venerables, have already awakened one after another.”

“There’s also the lineages of Chaotic divine beasts. They’re also eyeing us.”

“Even the devils are up to something, and fanning the flames in the dark.”

“I heard that even the disciples of the Hallowed Venerables can’t hold it in anymore. Alliance Leader, just stay in the holy city of Chaos. As long as you’re in the holy city of Chaos, no matter how many people gather outside, they can’t do anything to you.”

Yuan Zhenggang and the other core members of the Mutual Assistance Alliance were both excited and worried. A storm was brewing in the outside world, and the power gathered simply made their hearts palpitate.

Even if the Alliance Leader was the only Hallowed Spirit in the Chaos, and was revered as the Hallowed Lord, they were still worried.

The temptation of the Chaotic Origin Stone was difficult to resist. They only hoped that Lin Feng could comprehend the Supreme Rule as soon as possible and become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. Then, he would naturally be able to sweep through all other forces, and all threats would disappear.

Lin Feng sat at the head of the table. Hearing that so many factions and forces had gathered to covet the Chaotic Origin Stone, he was elated rather than afraid. He smiled and said, “After waiting for so long, everyone who should come should have already arrived. I’ll go out and deal with those ruffians, and show that I live up to my reputation as the Hallowed Lord!”

“What? Alliance Leader, you can’t. Even if you’re unparalleled, there’s no need for you to take the risk.”

“That’s right, that’s right. You just need to stay in the holy city of Chaos, comprehend the Supreme Rule, and become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. Why do you have to do this and invite more trouble?”

They did not understand Lin Feng’s current actions. He could have stayed in the holy city and waited until he comprehended the Supreme Rule. Why would he take the risk?

But Lin Feng could not possibly say that he could not comprehend the Supreme Rule at all, and could not become a Hallowed Venerable. Moreover, his path was not the path of a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. The Chaotic Origin Stone was useless to him.

Even though these were all facts, Lin Feng could not say them.

“Do you think they can’t do anything if I never go out? What about the Mutual Assistance Alliance?”

“We can disperse the members of the Mutual Assistance Alliance.”

“What about the Inception Continent?”

“We’ll give up on the Inception Continent.”

“Then what about the Origin Universe? Should we give that up, too?”

Everyone looked at each other.

That’s right. The Mutual Assistance Alliance could be dispersed, and the Inception Continent could be given up, but what about the Origin Universe? Should Lin Feng give up the Origin Universe too?

Yuan Zhenggang was about to suggest that Lin Feng give up on the Origin Universe as well. In any case, Lin Feng’s closest family was in the holy city. However, Perfected Lord Long shook his head. He knew Lin Feng very well.

Giving up on the Origin Universe was not something Lin Feng was capable of.

“The reason they haven’t attacked the Inception Continent or the Origin Universe yet is that they want to force me to go out by myself. If I don’t go out, they’ll start attacking. It’s not just the Origin Universe, nor the Inception Continent. They’ll target every member of the Mutual Assistance Alliance. Even you will be in serious danger, unless you never leave the holy city of Chaos either.”

Perfected Lord Long and Yuan Zhenggang both opened their mouths, but did not say anything in the end.

The temptation of the Chaotic Origin Stone exceeded ordinary people’s imagination. At that time, those old Perfected Deities would not care that Lin Feng was the Hallowed Lord. They would not care if Lin Feng would settle scores with them in the future.

They would do everything they could to force Lin Feng to leave the holy city of Chaos, regardless of the price.

Lin Feng had to go out, and this battle was unavoidable!

“Alliance Leader…”

“Hallowed Lord, you are our hope…”

How could Perfected Lord Long and Yuan Zhenggang not know that Lin Feng had made up his mind? However, in the face of such a matter, the Mutual Assistance Alliance, which they so took pride in, had become Lin Feng’s burden, and could not help him at all.

Lin Feng stood up. His originally thin body appeared sturdy as a mountain now.

Lin Feng stared at the Chaotic void and stood with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, “Don’t worry. Although they gave me the title of Hallowed Lord, they still don’t know the might of a Hallowed Lord! In this battle, I will let them and the entire Chaos know the might of a Hallowed Lord!

“I am the Hallowed Lord, and shall dominate an era!”

With that, Lin Feng stepped forward and walked towards the Chaotic void.
