Permanent Martial Arts



Far away from the Holy City Primum Mobile, countless cultivators came and went. There were also innumerable spaceships and battleships. Everything seemed to be as usual.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, figures walked out of the void in the Chaos. They were only faintly discernible, and even ordinary Perfected Lords could not "see" these figures.

"He still hasn't come out yet? What if he keeps hiding in there and never comes out?"

One of the Perfected Deities' expressions was dark. He appeared anxious.

"Hmph, he still has the Inception Continent. If there's really no other way, we'll threaten him with the Inception Continent. I don't believe he won't come out then!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't come out. The Inception Continent, the subordinates and the faction are all inconsequential. Only my own attainment is the most important thing."

"But you're not him, and you'll never be him! Don't worry, he'll definitely come out. He's the only Hallowed Lord in the Chaos!"

The Hallowed Lord was the title of respect for Lin Feng, the only Hallowed Spirit in the Chaos at the moment. It meant that he was the only Hallowed Lord in the entire Chaos in all of history, above billions, and second only to Hallowed Venerables!

The one who spoke was an ancient Perfected Deity. He had cultivated for billions of years, and was even not inferior to the seven Hallowed Venerables in terms of qualifications. His divine abilities were simply immeasurable, and he had even condensed several greater divine abilities. He was known as Ancestor Mani!

Ancestor Mani was not in the holy city of Chaos. His qualifications were even older than the seven Hallowed Venerables. The seven Hallowed Venerables were even his juniors. He was proud, so he naturally did not have the face to stay in the holy city of Chaos.

Moreover, the various cultivation resources in the holy city of Chaos were useless to Ancestor Mani. He was slumbering in a remote stretch of Chaotic void, and had been slumbering the entire time.

He had not even received the Divine Battle Order from the seven Hallowed Venerables during the last battle with alien lifeforms. After all, the Divine Battle Orders were only circulated in the holy cities of Chaos and the surrounding regions. Naturally, cultivators in the depths of the Chaos or in some remote places had not received them.

However, this time, with the appearance of the Chaotic Origin Stone, Ancestor Mani also woke up.

"I didn't manage to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone the previous few times. I can't lose the Chaotic Origin Stone again this time."

A trace of determination appeared in Ancestor Mani's eyes. It was the Chaotic Origin Stone, the supreme treasure of Chaos that he had always dreamed of obtaining. This was the true supreme treasure of Chaos. It was worth it, even at the risk of his life.

Even though it was almost impossible for them to snatch the Chaotic Origin Stone from a "Hallowed Lord" this time, Ancestor Mani and the others would not hesitate to risk their lives for this opportunity to attain consummation in cultivation.

They had already lived for a long, long time. As long as they could attain consummation in cultivation, dying was nothing.

"Ancestor, we're not the only ones coveting the Chaotic Origin Stone. Many other old fellows have also awakened. There are even some Chaotic divine beasts."

"That's right, Ancestor. These fellows are all hiding in the dark and coveting the Chaotic Origin Stone. Should we eliminate them first?"

"It's not just the cultivators in our Chaos. There are even those otherworldly lifeforms. I can already sense the aura of some devils. Those despicable devils invaded our Chaos, and they still covet the supreme treasure of cultivation in our Chaos. They deserve to die!"

These Perfected Deities were all top-notch Perfected Deities. They had been good friends with Ancestor Mani for billions of years. If not for the Chaotic Hallowed Venerables and Chaotic hallowed beasts, these few people alone could even dominate the Chaos without any resistance.

They had mastered countless arcane techniques and divine abilities.

"There's no need to care about all of them. Moreover, the more of them there are, the better. It's normal for those devils to covet the Chaotic Origin Stone. If they want to gain a foothold in the Chaos, just that threat alone is not enough. They naturally want to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone, comprehend the Supreme Rule within, and even become Hallowed Venerables, thereby becoming a part of the Chaos. However… we're dealing with the Hallowed Lord, the Invincible Hallowed Lord, who's only below the Hallowed Venerables and above billions. Everyone, take your positions. This may be the hardest battle for the Chaotic Origin Stone. The more helpers there are, the better. Only by taking advantage of the situation can we fish in troubled waters!"

Hearing that even Ancestor Mani needed to "fish in troubled waters", the hearts of many top-notch Perfected Deities skipped a beat.

That's right. Lin Feng was the Hallowed Lord. They had not participated in the war against invading lifeforms from another world, and did not know how terrifying Lin Feng was. However, from the rumors that Lin Feng had condensed the ultimate divine ability, and was the only Hallowed Spirit in the Chaos, it was evident how terrifying his strength was.

The respectful title of "Hallowed Lord" further highlighted Lin Feng's current identity and status. Snatching the Chaotic Origin Stone from Lin Feng was extremely dangerous.

However, even if there was extreme danger, they still could not resist the temptation of the Chaotic Origin Stone. There were some things that had to be done. They could die without regrets!

The Chaotic Origin Stone was an opportunity to attain the principle of cultivation. They would not hesitate even if they died!

…

"Your Majesty the Ancestral Dragon, the Chaotic Origin Stone has appeared. Aren't Chaotic divine beasts like us supposed to fight for it?"

The six Chaotic hallowed beasts were all gathered now. Although the six Chaotic hallowed beasts usually did not get along, they all knew their priorities when facing a major event like the appearance of the Chaotic Origin Stone.

The Ancestral Dragon opened its huge, draconic eyes. It recalled Lin Feng's terrifying divine ability in the battle of the invasion of alien lifeforms. Even now, it still had lingering fears.

"We've already fought for the Chaotic Origin Stone a few times, but we've failed every time. Do you know the reason?"

"What other reason can there be? We Chaotic divine beasts are not strong enough. The cultivators have the advantage in numbers, so it's naturally easy for them to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone. Moreover, those Chaotic Hallowed Venerables won't allow Your Majesties to fight for it. Otherwise, no matter how many Chaotic Origin Stones there are, we would have gotten all of them."

However, the Ancestral Dragon shook his head and said, "Divine beasts like us do not comprehend the Rules since birth. Although we are compatible with the Rules ourselves, we will never become Chaotic Hallowed Venerables. Did you think we lost the competition the previous few times because there are too many cultivators? In reality, that's not the case. How could those Chaotic Hallowed Venerables allow the Chaotic divine beast lineages to obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone?"

"Your Majesty the Ancestral Dragon, do you mean to say that we shouldn't compete for it? But even those devils are planning to compete for it."

"Stop competing. We divine beasts will stop competing. The devils are competing because they have confidence. They have something on the Hallowed Venerables. What can we do? The Chaotic Hallowed Venerables drove the Nine-headed Taotie away. So what if we're hallowed beasts? We're different from those devils. We're far inferior to those devils, even. Let's stop competing, and let them fight… Moreover, that Hallowed Lord is not so easy to deal with."

A trace of helplessness appeared in the Ancestral Dragon's eyes. Then, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The other Chaotic hallowed beasts also left one after another. Some Chaotic divine beasts were unwilling, but the Chaotic hallowed beasts could not care less. If they were unwilling, so be it. After so many years, the line of Chaotic divine beasts had already grown cowardly.

They had to accept the reality. After all, there was not a single Chaotic Hallowed Venerable among the Chaotic Divine Beasts.
