335: Mysterious Black Beads and the Path of Evolution

"Wuwuwu—"

With his head stepped on, Sun Xiu couldn't even speak under the immense pressure.

He only cursed his bad luck.

How did he end up running into an Ascension Three?

Speechless— "By the way, what are the rules of this city?"

Ye Su asked while stepping on Sun Xiu's head.

"No killing allowed."

Sun Xiu felt the pressure loosen slightly and immediately spoke up.

"Take a guess if I believe you or not?"

Ye Su said, speechless.

A head was literally thrown right in front of you.

Where did this 'no killing' rule come from?

"You..."

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Feeling the force increasing, Sun Xiu felt that if this continued, his head would be crushed.

"This city has an entry fee. If you don't have physical Spirit Stones or square crystals, you'll be hunted down until you're killed and the items in your storage device drop."

Sun Xiu said.

This... was slightly more reasonable.

Whether it's wealth, companions, techniques, or land.

Or cultivation resources.

No matter where you are, wealth always comes first.

Without money...

Without money, what kind of expert are you trying to be? Why even come to the North Star Sector!

"That's it?"

Ye Su was speechless.

He casually kicked out, sending Sun Xiu flying.

He used quite a bit of force anyway; whether he lived or died depended on his luck.

"Entry fee, City of Chaos..."

Fen Tian said softly;

"I always feel there's a big secret. Otherwise, why would everyone insist on coming to this city?"

"Paying an entry fee for nothing? Is the wilderness dangerous?"

"It's not just the wilderness; the starry sky connected to the wilderness must be dangerous," Ye Su said.

He was guessing.

This continent was like an oasis in a desert, and these cities were like the shade within that oasis.

There must be a reason for its existence.

"I think what you're saying makes sense!"

Fen Tian suddenly looked up and said.

Ye Su also looked up.

The perception of an Ascension Six is very powerful.

He must have sensed something.

Sure enough,

a few seconds later,

the sky turned pitch black.

"What is that?"

Ye Su asked in a low voice, looking at the cloud-like mass appearing in the starry sky.

Fen Tian's voice trembled slightly;

"It's... it's the Insect Race!"

Ye Su's heart jolted.

The Insect Race.

This was the Universal Insect Race!!

One must know that the Universal Insect Race and the insects on Blue Star were not the same thing.

The insects on Blue Star had their own tribes and multiplied bit by bit to become a plague.

But the Universal Insect Race had a Broodmother.

Their Broodmother was born incredibly powerful.

Moreover, she could give birth to a massive amount of life; her reproduction speed was hundreds of thousands of times faster than that of ants.

Consequently,

the Universal Insect Race had formed a super Great Clan with an unimaginably high population.

In fact,

relying on such numbers, their Broodmother didn't even need to take action.

They could simply wear down and kill powerful Ascenders through sheer attrition.

Judging by Fen Tian's trembling voice,

even an Ascension Six probably couldn't withstand it.

"You said the North Star Sector's net was cut, could it be... Holy crap!"

Ye Su still wanted to lead Fen Tian into the larger situation of the North Star Sector's network disconnection.

But unexpectedly, at that moment,

the Insect Race charged into this continent.

The Insect Race.

They ate everything.

Planets, they even ate celestial bodies.

Given the volume of that 'patch' of dark clouds in the sky, it probably wasn't enough to satisfy the Insect Race's hunger.

"We won't die before we've even started, will we?"

"Probably not!"

Fen Tian said.

"This city was likely born to resist the Insect Race."

After he spoke,

the Insect Race did not invade any part of the continent.

Instead, black rain began to fall continuously.

As this black rain fell into the city,

it immediately turned into black pearls.

And the people in the city, like madmen, scrambled to snatch every single black pearl.

Surprised and suspicious,

Ye Su reached out.

He happened to catch a black pearl.

Instantly, the black pearl became harder and rounder.

It also began to emit a multicolored luster.

"What is this?"

Fen Tian also caught one.

He then held it under his nose and sniffed it.

In an instant,

his face changed drastically.

"This... this is cataclysm!"

Fen Tian was shaking all over.

It was as if he had seen something incredible.

"Ye Su, we... we're finished!"

He turned to look at Ye Su, his face filled with despair.

"The Universal border must have been breached, and the cataclysm has started to leak through."

"The Insect Race has become Puppets for spreading the cataclysm."

"The Universe is about to face a great enemy!"

Ye Su's heart stirred.

cataclysm?

Calamity Chaos.

cataclysm Puppets— are they the hidden enemies within the Universe?

The letter from the future said

that he had gone to the border to take a look, but was instantly killed.

Logically speaking,

this 'cataclysm' known as the enemy of the Universe shouldn't have truly broken in.

And as for the Insect Race becoming cataclysm Puppets...

You must be joking.

If that were really the case, wouldn't the other Great Clans be useless?

There was only one possibility.

And that was,

the current situation in the North Star Sector was something all the Great Clans had tacitly agreed to.

And this so-called cataclysm...

With a thought from Ye Su, the calamity battle armor suddenly appeared on his body;

*Chiii—*

The black pearl in his hand instantly vaporized.

It was as if its attributes conflicted with the calamity battle armor.

'cataclysm and calamity... they aren't the same thing.'

Ye Su understood in his heart.

"Senior, don't panic."

Ye Su said;

"The Seven Great Clans aren't useless, are they?"

"But this situation—"

Fen Tian still felt terrified.

The next second,

the spirit net suddenly connected.

No, rather, a local spirit net suddenly began to connect.

Everyone received a message.

It said:

[Summary of Disordered System Laws and Cultivation Mode]

Data transmission.

A complete cultivation mode was sent directly into everyone's spirit net device.

Afterwards,

the spirit net disconnected again.

Looking at this information,

suddenly,

Ye Su gasped.

Truly.

The madness of life in pursuit of power often reaches an unimaginable level.

Disordered System.

It was a Path of Disorder based on natural selection and adaptive evolution.

There were no distinctions between races or differences in Bloodlines.

Only the Path of Evolution.

Once you stepped onto this path,

it was impossible to maintain your current form.

Everything was disordered.

Everything was evolution.

The only thing that felt real was power!

"Senior, would you dare to go this far for power?"

Ye Su asked.

Fen Tian fell silent.

He was a powerhouse and naturally understood more than Ye Su.

After seeing this cultivation method,

he knew.

It wasn't that the Frontier had been breached.

Nor was it that the Insect Race had become Puppets of the cataclysm.

Instead, the Seven Great Clans

had deliberately opened up a trial ground.

Here,

a Path of Evolution that transcended human ethics and understanding would be born.

If it failed,

it would be wiped out; since there were no spirit net records anyway, everyone would just treat it as if it never existed and bury it.

If it succeeded,

then it would be preserved, becoming a special power system treasured by the Great Clans of the Universe, part of their heritage.

Damn it.

The Universe really is freaking filthy.
