Monarch Of Heaven's Wrath 73 Chaos King Technique.

Liang Chen ignored their gazes, stepping towards the open gate of the horn-like tower. The energy of the supreme technique in this tower, the Chaotic Flesh technique, was able to stir his bloodline, so there was no way he would just ignore it, it had to be the first technique he checked out.

The gate to the tower, two large metal gates that were colored black and covered in strange runes that seemed to form the images of countless Demonic beasts, were already open, so he could easily enter the tower and follow the energy.

Right behind the gate was an arched hallway that went on for about 10 meters, the walls of the hallway completely smooth. Right after he left the hallway, he saw a rainbow-haired elder with a drooping white mustache sitting in a wooden rocking chair, calmly resting in front of the hallway. Liang Chen couldn't feel any energy from this elder, but he was certain that he was likely terrifyingly powerful, most likely the guardian of this tower.

Liang Chen cupped his hands at the elder and gave him a small bow in greeting, following proper etiquette for young disciples. The elder didn't open his eyes, but he gave a slight nod at Liang Chen, stretching out a thin and wrinkly arm and pointing towards the opposite side of the room, at a wooden staircase that spiraled upward.

Liang Chen once again gave a bow to the elder, slowly making his way through the room. There were bookshelves filling the room, neatly lined up so that there was a narrow path one could use to navigate between them. The bookshelves were filled with thin books, with most of them only having five pages.

And carved into the bookshelves, beneath these small books, were the names of the techniques that the books gave a quick description of. Liang Chen knew that one could freely read these descriptions, but if one wanted to actually study the technique, they had to pay with contribution points. Looking at the room that was filled with old bookshelves and ancient books, Liang Chen was a bit surprised that the room didn't smell of mold and old wood, but rather carried the faint scent of camellia flowers.

Liang Chen walked up the spiraling stairs, which creaked slightly as he put his weight on them, a rare sign of their actual age. Guanyu and the six others quietly followed, with even Guanyu cupping his hands to the elder sitting in the rocking chair.

The second floor was very similar to the first floor, with neatly lined up bookshelves filling the entire room. But what shocked Liang Chen the most after he finished ascending the stairs and saw the second floor was that the rainbow-haired elder in the rocking chair had appeared on the second floor, still just calmly rocking in the chair.

Liang Chen glanced at the old man, but still continued to calmly walk through the room, his fingers gently sliding along the sides of the bookshelves he pa.s.sed. He quickly ascended to the third floor, but there he was once again shocked, as the rainbow-haired elder had already appeared there, rocking his chair with closed eyes. Liang Chen couldn't help but be both shocked and curious, just who was this old man?

He continued to ascend the tower, the chaotic energy growing stronger and stronger as he reached the higher parts of the tower. And on each of the floors, the rainbow-haired elder was sitting in his rocking chair, just quietly rocking his chair, not even looking at Liang Chen and the others.

This continued all the way until Liang Chen reached the ninth floor of the tower. The stairs that led up to the tenth floor were a bit different, they were pitch black in color, rather than the normal wooden. Liang Chen could also feel a horrifying energy form a wall in front of the stairs, preventing others from stepping on them. It was as he looked at this wall of energy that the rainbow-haired elder stood up from his rocking chair, speaking up as he slowly walked towards the stairs.

"Normally, I would make people wait until they reached the late stage of the Soaring Immortal realm before I let them ascend higher up and study me, but I'll make an exemption for you, as we have some affinity."

The voice of the old man was very strange, as it sounded like a mixture of countless other voices, both male and female. Liang Chen's pupils violently contracted after he heard the words of the old man. He said 'study me', did this mean that this old man was the Chaotic Flesh technique? Guanyu saw Liang Chen's shock, so he used a technique to wrap his words in Qi, letting him send them wherever he wanted, preventing those who weren't far stronger than him from hearing them.

"It is as he said. This is Elder Chaotic, he is a spirit that was born within the item that contains the supreme technique, he is also the guardian of this tower, making sure that everyone follows the rules inside it."

Even though Guanyu explained it, Liang Chen was still shocked. An item could form a spirit that was this lifelike? In that case, what was the difference between this old man and a normal person?

Elder Chaotic reached the ascending stairs after a few minutes, slowly stretching out his arm and touching the wall of energy, dissipating it. He then waved at Liang Chen, beckoning for him to climb the stairs and continue onwards.

Liang Chen cupped his hands and thanked Elder Chaotic, ascending the stairs and entering the tenth floor. Strangely enough, the tenth floor was completely empty, the walls and floor pitch black in color. There was nothing on this floor, other than a staircase that led higher up, but a strong pressure covered the entire floor, seemingly testing the bodily strength of those that stepped into it.

Elder Chaotic was already standing by the ascending staircase, removing the wall of energy that blocked it, allowing Liang Chen to continue ascending. The 11th floor was also empty, the pressure having grown a little stronger than on the previous floor. Looking at Yao Ming and the two other top disciples, who seemed to have a bit of a harder time with the pressure, it was clear that Elder Chaotic was lessening the pressure Liang Chen was experiencing.

The empty floors continued, all the way to the 17th floor, where it seemed like even the three elders that Guanyu had brought along were starting to struggle a little with the pressure. Elder Chaotic once again removed the wall of energy that blocked off the stairs, allowing Liang Chen to reach the 18th floor.

The 18th floor was different from the previous ones, it was slightly slanted, the top of the room forming a strange coiled shape, making it clear that they were close to the top of the tower. This room only contained a single item, a three-meter tall stone that was pitch black in color, the surface looking rugged and coa.r.s.e to the touch. Elder Chaotic stood at the side of the stone, waving Liang Chen over.

"Come, child, lay your hand on me and let me impart my knowledge to you."

Liang Chen ignored the strange wording that the elder used, stepping forward and approaching the rock, which unleashed a chaotic and ancient energy, almost enveloping Liang Chen. Guanyu and the others wore both interested and excited expressions on their faces, so Elder Chaotic turned towards them, giving them a stern warning.

"Old Goat, you must remember the deal we made. No matter what he obtains, he is forbidden from imparting it to others and you are forbidden from scouring his memories for it, if either of you does so, I will leave forever."

Liang Chen was once again shocked, glancing at Elder Chaotic. His words made it clear that he could leave whenever he wished, with the sect being unable to stop him. It also sounded like there was more inside this stone than just the Chaotic Flesh technique. But just the Chaotic Flesh technique was enough to be considered a supreme technique, so what else could it hold? Guanyu could only put on an awkward smile after receiving the warning, nodding his head.

"Don't worry, Elder Chaotic, I have not forgotten the ancient agreement. Whatever he obtains, only he will know how to cultivate it, we won't search his memories or make him tell us."

Elder Chaotic hadn't said anything concrete, but his warning alone was enough to let Guanyu and the others know that it was likely that Liang Chen was going to receive more than just the Chaotic Flesh technique. Just what sort of affinity did Liang Chen have with Elder Chaotic, for him to receive such a favor?

Elder Chaotic nodded his head, beckoning at Liang Chen to lay his hand on the stone. Liang Chen did as he was beckoned, placing both his palms on the stone, the coa.r.s.e surface feeling rugged and even somewhat painful to touch.

Shortly after his palms made contact with the black stone, a chaotic energy that felt like it came from the ancient ages gushed out from it and into Liang Chen's body. The energy simply swept pa.s.sed his Dragon Lotuses, but once the energy came in contact with the gray blood that was his Heaven Devouring Dragon bloodline, a change occurred.

The bloodline suddenly unleashed a frightening devouring force, sucking in the ancient energy, even tracking it back to the stone and attempting to invade it. This devouring energy was the remnant glory of the Heaven Devouring Dragon, something that was hidden away in the bloodline of all Sebettu. It was just that only the direct children of the Heaven Devouring Dragon had the chance to access this devouring force, it was impossible for the other Sebettu.

Liang Chen immediately paled, worried that Guanyu and the others would notice the devouring force and start to suspect something. But luckily, it didn't seem like they noticed anything out of the ordinary, not even sparing a glance at Liang Chen, their eyes fully focused on the black stone.

The devouring energy wanted to enter the stone, but it was pushed back by the strange ancient energy that had stirred it to become with. The devouring force could only slink back into Liang Chen's body, returning to the depths of his bloodline. Shortly after the devouring force returned, the voice of Elder Chaotic resounded within Liang Chen's mind.

"So I wasn't wrong, you truly do have an immense devouring force within your body. Very well, you are fit to learn my full technique."

Elder Chaotic wasn't able to see exactly where the devouring force in Liang Chen's body came from, but he could tell that it hid within Liang Chen's blood, making it a part of him. It was the fact that he had noticed this devouring force when Liang Chen first stepped into the tower that he had decided to allow Liang Chen to reach this point.

Shortly after Elder Chaotic's words finished sounding out, the chaotic and ancient energy increased in intensity, flooding into Liang Chen's mind. The energy quickly arrived above the city inside Liang Chen's mind, the one that was completely flooded with blood.

The energy then turned into a black book that was surrounded by a chaotic maelstrom of ancient energy. The energy was so potent that even the blood that flooded the city in Liang Chen's mind was sucked up, creating a b.l.o.o.d.y whirlpool around the book. Liang Chen sank part of his consciousness into his mind, his eyes landing on the book and reading the golden text that was written on the front.

Chaos King Technique, Devour all living beings and reign supreme.
