368: Chapter 368 Roaming in Chaos
Time flew by swiftly, and before he knew it, three full years had passed.
During these long three years, Cao Yang had sent the many women back to their respective Family forces one by one.
However, unexpectedly, almost without exception, these women did not stay long with their original forces before they all returned.
The reason for arranging this homecoming journey was that Cao Yang had long since made up his mind to bid farewell to this vast and boundless Great Universe and resolutely venture deeper into the Chaos to explore its unknown mysteries.
Of course, one important reason for deliberately waiting several years was Cao Yang's hope of obtaining a few more Hongmeng Sign-in opportunities.
Originally, he planned to attempt several sign-ins deep within the Chaos region before setting off, eagerly hoping to seize the Opportunity to obtain a chaos level flying ship.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Cao Yang had previously performed two consecutive sign-ins in the nearby Chaos area, but he failed to obtain the coveted Chaos flying ship he dreamed of.
It is worth mentioning that during the first sign-in, Cao Yang was fortunate enough to obtain a chaos tool—a peerless sword named 'Supreme Jade Devil'.
The sword's blade was crystal clear, as if carved from fine jade, shimmering with a mysterious and dazzling light; its hilt was inlaid with brilliant, dazzling gems, exuding waves of powerful aura, as if containing endless might.
Indeed, just as its name suggested, this was a terrifyingly powerful and mysterious demonic sword!
As for which ruthless Devil Head controlled this sword in the past, it was already impossible to verify.
What was astonishing was that this demonic sword was forged through the cruel sacrifice of countless living beings from a full one hundred vast and boundless Great Universes!
Although the sword's body was entirely a verdant, emerald green, after Cao Yang understood the bloody and terrifying origin behind this sword, he unhesitatingly threw it into his Inner Universe, entrusting it with the important task of guarding the Luck of the Human Race.
It must be known that although this sword originally belonged to the Demonic Path, because its grade was truly too high, after enduring the baptism and sedimentation of a long period of time, its essence had long since transcended the distinction between good and evil.
Therefore, using it to suppress the Luck of the Human Race was indeed the best choice.
Speaking of this Inner Universe, most of the invincibly powerful native beings belonged to other races that were born in the early stages.
In comparison, the Human Race was a newly emerging group that appeared relatively late. Thus, within this Universe, the Human Race had not yet been able to Cultivate many world-shaking, peerless powerhouses.
Not long ago, a portion of the Human Race had entered this place from the outside.
However, because the Cultivation Technique Systems they practiced differed significantly from those originally existing in the Inner Universe, and coupled with their own originally high cultivation base Realms, most of these outsiders tended to seek out secluded places to immerse themselves in bitter Cultivation, hoping to Breakthrough their current Bottleneck and reach higher levels of Cultivation as soon as possible.
Of course, among them were also a few ambitious individuals who resolutely chose to establish sects and widely recruit disciples within the Inner Universe.
Unfortunately, such people were ultimately as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, their numbers quite limited.
Precisely because of this, the current situation faced by the Human Race in the Inner Universe could be described as quite severe; their overall predicament was truly worrisome.
Since the first Hongmeng Sign-in, aside from successfully obtaining a rare and precious chaos tool, he also gained a full one hundred Chaos Cultivation.
You must know, this was equivalent to the amount accumulated from a full ten billion previous sign-ins, or equal to the staggering one hundred billion Heaven-Defying Genius Cultivation!
According to the System, this was a special preferential treatment and generous benefit given during the first Hongmeng Sign-in.
However, by the time of the second Hongmeng Sign-in, the results were slightly inferior, obtaining only fifty Chaos Cultivation.
Perhaps this was due to being in this remote corner of the Chaos, where the local Chaos Fortune was relatively low.
Faced with this situation, after careful consideration, Cao Yang resolutely made up his mind to leave his current Chaos region and head to other unknown places to continue his sign-in journey, hoping to achieve some gains, especially the long-coveted chaos level flying ship.
Cao Yang focused his mind and spirit, spreading his immensely powerful Divine Sense outward in all directions like a tide.
Before long, his vast and boundless Divine Sense had already broken free from the constraints of the region containing the vast Great Universe Sea and plunged into a vast, boundless, and immense Chaos land.
Gazing at the vast and hazy scene of Chaos before him, Cao Yang couldn't help but think to himself: 'It seems that within this vast Chaos World, the areas that have not yet given birth to Universes indeed occupy a more expansive and immense area!'
Although Cao Yang's Divine Sense had long since deeply probed into this Chaos land without Universes, unfortunately, up to this point, he still had not found any trace of a new Great Universe Sea.
Just after Cao Yang unleashed his astonishing Divine Ability—Gods Descent—a dazzling light flashed, and the next moment, his majestic figure abruptly appeared like a ghost in this mysterious and vast, boundless Chaos land.
This place was desolate, devoid of any signs of life, surrounded by Chaos Qi so thick it seemed almost tangible.
It surged and roared wildly, like a pack of enraged beasts, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
'The Chaos Qi here is actually so violent! Could it be because there's no Cosmic Sea nearby?' Cao Yang couldn't help but frown slightly, muttering to himself.
You must know, he had witnessed the Chaos Qi in many places before, yet he had never encountered such a frenzied and violent situation.
If an ordinary Source Emperor powerhouse rashly entered this place, they would probably be torn to shreds by this extremely violent Chaos Qi in an instant, without even a chance to resist.
Thinking of this, Cao Yang's heart couldn't help but tighten: 'System, can my Dao Companions with Chaos Physique survive in such a harsh environment?'
Although these surging Chaos Qi striking his body felt as insignificant as someone lightly tickling him.
But he knew well that his beloved wives were only at the Peak Source Emperor Realm. Faced with such terrifying Chaos Qi, it was truly hard to guarantee they could remain safe and sound.
'Ding! Master, based on my detection and analysis, the Chaos Qi permeating this place is roughly around level four. Although your Dao Companions can survive here, over the long term, their Foundation might risk being damaged.'
Accompanied by a clear and pleasant voice, the System Loli appeared before Cao Yang in an instant, like a flash of lightning.
She first lazily let out a big yawn, then blinked her large, watery eyes and slowly spoke.
That's right, the System Loli could now freely appear in the outside world.
However, her body still presented a semi-illusory state, as if it could drift away with the wind at any moment. Moreover, currently she possessed almost no combat capability.
Looking at the System Loli's appearance, she was the spitting image of a short-haired little girl, only about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a suit of crystal-clear crystal armor.
That petite and delicate appearance would make anyone who saw her unable to help but feel affection.
After hearing the System Loli's report, Cao Yang nodded slightly in acknowledgment: 'Hmm, I see. That's good then. As long as they won't be harmed because of it, it's fine.
As for the Foundation damage, presumably it can be repaired later when we continue to improve our Physiques, right?'
'Ding! What Master says is absolutely correct.' The System Loli, hearing this, hurriedly nodded in agreement, her obedient and sensible little appearance truly extremely endearing.
Cao Yang took a deep breath, then slowly sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes slightly and adjusting his own Qi.
Immediately after, as usual, he spread his Divine Sense with all his might, attempting to explore the endless unknown Chaos World around him.
Time passed minute by minute. Finally, after enduring a long and arduous effort, Cao Yang delightedly discovered that his Divine Sense had successfully broken through the constraints of this Chaos land without Universes, extending toward more distant places.
As the Divine Sense continuously Advanced, more and more scenes entered Cao Yang's mind.
Suddenly, a vast and boundless Great Universe Sea unfolded like a scroll within the range of his Divine Sense perception.
'How fascinating!' Cao Yang couldn't help but murmur to himself, 'I never expected there to exist a Cultivation System completely different from ours here.'
Within this new corner of Chaos, Cao Yang saw some figures busily Cultivating.
The Cultivation methods, Cultivation Techniques, and the Realms they pursued were completely different from the System Cao Yang was familiar with.
However, Cao Yang did not feel the slightest bit unfamiliar with these differences.
It turned out that in his past experiences, he had witnessed similar Cultivation Systems many times, especially the world where Ruyan and others resided, which had Great Emperor powerhouses.
To reach this new corner of Chaos, Cao Yang had expended enormous energy.
He continuously used his immensely powerful Divine Ability—Gods Descent—twice.
You must know, although this Divine Ability was astonishingly powerful, it had certain limitations.
Each time it was used, it only allowed Cao Yang to freely teleport within one-tenth of the range covered by his own Divine Sense.
Even so, such an ability was already considered a Heaven-Defying feat in the eyes of many Chaos powerhouses.
At this moment, Cao Yang sat quietly at the edge of a massive Universe, once again spreading his Divine Sense unreservedly, carefully investigating this mysterious and novel new Universe World.
Everything in this Great Universe Sea was seen clearly by Cao Yang's Divine Sense.
Before long, Cao Yang opened his eyes again.
'Although the number of powerhouses here is much greater compared to our place, disappointingly, not even a single Chaos Realm powerhouse has appeared here.' Cao Yang gently shook his head and slowly spoke.
Just then, the System Loli, who had been hiding in the shadows, seemed to have a telepathic connection, automatically appearing at Cao Yang's side.
Her face full of excitement, she called out in a clear voice: 'Ding ding, Master! If this Chaos region has no Chaos Realm powerhouses, then your sign-in here is highly likely to obtain more Advanced and rare Chaos treasures!'
Hearing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the System Loli, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes as he pressed: 'Really? So, does the birth of a Chaos Realm powerhouse actually consume the Chaos Fortune?'
Facing Cao Yang's question, the System Loli first nodded, then shook her head, explaining:
'Ding ding, replying to Master, the situation could be said to be so, but it's not entirely correct. The initial birth of a Chaos Realm powerhouse indeed requires consuming a certain amount of Chaos Fortune as support; however, as this Chaos Realm powerhouse's own strength continuously improves and advances, the Chaos Fortune it brings not only won't decrease but will rapidly multiply in growth!'
'Hmm, System, in the future, could you not always go 'ding ding ding' before speaking? It makes you seem like an emotionless machine!'
Cao Yang said this while gently shaking his head, indicating he was somewhat dissatisfied with this sound.
His handsome face carried a trace of helplessness, but his eyes revealed a kind of gentleness and tolerance.
Hearing Cao Yang's complaint, the System Loli was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, revealing a mischievous and cute smile:
'Ding, replying to Master, the reason Xiao Tong does this is entirely to prevent Master from mistaking Xiao Tong for those beautiful and moving Dao Companions by your side.
After all, among Master's Dao Companions, there are quite a few charming and lovely Little Lolitas. If Xiao Tong doesn't make some special sounds, perhaps one day Master might really get confused!'
After saying this, she deliberately blinked her large, watery eyes, putting on a mischievous and clever appearance.
Hearing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown, his face instantly showing a hint of displeasure.
He crossed his arms, pretending to be angry as he retorted: 'Hey, you little thing, don't talk nonsense! How could this Emperor possibly be that kind of philandering person who falls for every one he sees and even mistakes his own Dao Companions?
Just now in this Chaos, within the various Universes, there were many stunningly beautiful great beauties, and yet, didn't I very uprightly let them all go?
So, you have to learn to look at problems from a new perspective, and not always view me through colored glasses!'
Although his words sounded righteous and stern, in reality, anyone could see that this unhappy look of his was purely put on.
Seeing Cao Yang putting on such a deliberately serious appearance, the System Loli couldn't help but let out a 'pfft' laugh.
She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moon shapes as she responded with a giggle: 'Ding, okay, okay, Master's lesson is correct, Xiao Tong remembers! In the future, I will definitely be obedient and absolutely not make Master angry anymore!'
'Alright, enough of this useless talk. sign-in for hongmeng sign-in counts for me.'
Cao Yang said.
'Ding, okay Master. The annual hongmeng sign-in counts have been spent. Congratulations, Master, on obtaining one quasi-chaos supreme artifact mini-vessel.'
