268: Chaos Master

Wu Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart and raised his hand to take out the Cosmic Prison.

This was a fist-sized, grayish-brown bead, with a hazy halo emanating from its surface, and within it was a vast and boundless Chaos World, somewhat similar to the World Bead Wu Ning had once crafted for Xiao Xiao.

However, the former was far larger than the World Bead; the two were not on the same level at all.

Wu Ning held it in his hand, not feeling much weight.

The weight of a Chaos World was absolutely terrifying; even a Giant Realm existence would likely find it difficult to move.

However, items obtained from the System's check-in did not require refining. The moment Wu Ning took it out, he had already become the Dominator of the Cosmic Prison, so he naturally wouldn't feel an unbearable weight.

Wu Ning held it in his hand, examining it carefully, only to feel that the Cosmic Prison was filled with endless Chaos Qi, a vast gray expanse, desolate and silent.

It was not as vibrant as the Major Thousand Worlds.

The next moment, he released a wisp of Divine Thought and probed into it.

Inside the Cosmic Prison.

Wu Ning's Incarnation of Divine Thought appeared within a magnificent ancient hall in the center of the world, and this ancient hall was located in the center of a boundless ancient city.

Although named Cosmic Prison, it did not resemble a prison, because this Chaos World itself was the prison.

Wu Ning quietly observed his surroundings. He could clearly feel that he was like the supreme Dominator of this world at this moment, capable of freely mobilizing the world's infinite power.

Everything within this world was under his control.

With a single thought, he could destroy everything.

Subsequently, Wu Ning's gaze swept towards the depths of the ancient hall. There was an ancient bronze hall, and inside it, a massive light cluster radiating Chaos light was suspended, gathering the cultivation Origin extracted from the endless living beings of the entire world.

That was a terrifyingly powerful force.

Wu Ning's gaze continued to move. Outside the bronze hall, a majestic giant, ninety thousand kilometers tall, lay prostrate. He was covered in a thick layer of heavy gray rock armor, with a pair of brown giant horns on his head, surrounded by Chaos Qi, faintly emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Wu Ning felt a chill run down his spine with just one look.

This was the Chaos Sovereign imprisoned within the Cosmic Prison. Just a wisp of aura unconsciously emitted by him was enough to startle him.

Fortunately, he had already fallen into a deep slumber; otherwise, Wu Ning felt utterly unsafe. Although he could mobilize the power of the Cosmic Prison to suppress him, he felt that the opponent could instantly kill him with a single glance.

The Chaos Sovereign was an existence above the Giant Realm, while he was only at the Dao Lord Realm. In front of the opponent, he was probably no different from an ant.

Logically speaking, such a terrifying existence had already stood at the peak of the Dao; a mere Chaos World could not possibly suppress him.

A Chaos Sovereign definitely possessed the mighty power to shatter a Chaos World!

What could truly suppress him should be the power of the Forbidden Existence who refined this Cosmic Prison!

A sense of longing arose in Wu Ning's heart. He wondered what kind of existence a Forbidden Existence was.

Unfortunately, the System could not communicate and provide him with an answer.

Forbidden Existence was Forbidden Existence. He had never seen any records about Forbidden Existence before, and even Ink Treasure could not investigate information about Forbidden Existence.

Just like the name Forbidden Existence, it was unspeakable and immeasurable, already beyond Ink Treasure's investigative capabilities.

"Who are you? How did you enter the divine hall?"

Suddenly, a hundred-zhang-tall golden-armored giant walked into the ancient hall, his gaze vigilantly fixed on Wu Ning's Incarnation of Divine Thought, and he sternly questioned him.

Wu Ning glanced at him, and with a thought, an irresistible mighty power instantly descended upon him.

Boom!

The golden-armored giant's body sank, immediately pressed to the ground, unable to straighten up.

"You, you..."

He looked at Wu Ning in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wu Ning snorted coldly and said, "I am the Dominator of this world. How dare you disrespect me? Are you seeking death?"

"No..."

The golden-armored giant hurriedly lowered his head in terror, his expression becoming incomparably respectful, and he said in panic, "This humble one did not intend to offend. Please, Divine Lord, forgive me!"

Wu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, then he waved his hand, withdrawing the vast mighty power pressing down on him.

This golden-armored giant's strength was formidable, comparable to a Lesser Extremity Dao Venerable, but he still posed no threat to him.

Moreover, this was just an Incarnation of his Divine Thought.

The golden-armored giant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still respectfully prostrated on the ground, not daring to get up.

Wu Ning asked in a deep voice, "Who is the current person in charge of this world?"

"Reporting to Divine Lord, it is currently Lord Balin in charge."

The golden-armored giant immediately replied respectfully.

Wu Ning nodded slightly, "Get up. Go and inform him to come and see me immediately."

"Yes!"

The golden-armored giant dared not delay, immediately got up, respectfully saluted Wu Ning, and then quickly ran out of the hall.

Wu Ning continued to examine the ancient hall. This should be where the Dominator of the prison resided, hence it was called the divine hall by the golden-armored giant.

Aside from the Chaos Sovereign sleeping at the entrance of the bronze hall in the depths, there were no other living beings in the entire divine hall.

Outside the divine hall, however, there were many silver-armored giants guarding it, comparable to the Immortal Emperor Realm. That golden-armored giant should be their leader.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not long after, several massive figures appeared in the divine hall.

Leading them was a giant covered in green scales, tens of thousands of feet tall, with two horns on his head, and an aura as deep as an abyss, like a prison. He was clearly a Giant existence.

"You... are you the Divine Lord?"

The green-scaled giant's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. He had personally seen that Forbidden Existence, and although he couldn't remember his face clearly, he was certain it was definitely not the person in front of him.

Wu Ning did not explain. With a thought, he directly mobilized the power of the Cosmic Prison to descend upon them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The several massive figures all prostrated on the ground, without the slightest power to resist.

The power of the Cosmic Prison could easily suppress even a Chaos Sovereign, let alone a Giant and several Dao Lord Realm Chaos beings.

Balin sensed this familiar power, his expression suddenly changed, and he no longer doubted.

"Your humble servant Balin, greets the Divine Lord!"

"...Greets the Divine Lord!"

"Hmm."

Wu Ning nodded slightly, withdrew the power pressing down on them, and asked Balin, who was leading them:

"I am considered the second Divine Lord. When was the last time you saw the previous Divine Lord?"

Balin was stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Reporting to the Divine Lord, it should have been eighteen ancient epochs ago."

Wu Ning's eyes moved slightly. One hundred million years constituted a Reincarnation Epoch, and one hundred Reincarnation Epochs constituted an ancient epoch.

That is to say, eighteen trillion years had passed!

What a long and suffocating period of time!

"During such a long time, have no other Giant existences been born within the Divine Prison?"

Wu Ning asked again.

Even if they had to sacrifice a portion of their cultivation, making it harder to advance than in the outside world, after such a long time, new Giant beings should have been born.

Balin hesitated and nodded, "Seventeen were born."

"However..."

"However, they were all eaten by Lord Qiu Yan."

Balin said with extreme apprehension.
