With a single motion, the gates of Chaos City swung open.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, numerous Chaos Demon Gods transformed into their human forms and entered the city one after another. None of them dared to make a commotion, fearing they might violate the city's rules and disturb Gu Chuan.
"So this is Chaos City? Incredible! How did it come into existence?"
One of the Chaos Demon Gods couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
For them, it was the first time witnessing such a structure. The world of chaos was filled with boundless disorder, where no buildings like this had ever existed. Every Chaos Demon God present was experiencing this sight for the first time.
They looked around in astonishment, scrutinizing every detail. The buildings were arranged in a structured and dignified manner, exuding an unfathomable majesty. Their orderly design carried a profound sense of mystery, as if encapsulating the principles of the Great Dao itself.
The architecture extended in all directions, its geometric precision revealing an underlying truth that they had never before comprehended. It was as if the city itself was constructed upon the foundations of cosmic laws—mathematics, geometry, material science—all seamlessly interwoven into its very essence.
Simply standing there and observing, some of the Demon Gods felt as though their understanding of the world had expanded.
"This place is unbelievably strong. Even if Chaos Demon Gods were to battle here, they wouldn't be able to destroy it, would they?"
They could feel the immense defensive power of Chaos City. The entire city was fortified with layers upon layers of restriction formations, making its defenses nearly impenetrable.
Even if they unleashed their full strength, they wouldn't be able to leave a single mark on its walls. It was the first time any of them had seen such an indestructible construct, and they couldn't help but compare it to the Chaos Magic Treasures.
Until now, all Magic Treasures were naturally born from the chaos itself. None of them had ever considered the possibility that Chaos Demon Gods could forge their own. And yet, these man-made Magic Treasures seemed no weaker than those conceived by chaos itself.
This revelation opened an entirely new perspective for them. If Chaos City could be built, then what else could they create?
"What mysterious law runes! What inconceivable law patterns! The way the Five Elements interweave is utterly profound and endless. How was such a perfect Five Elements cycle achieved?"
Some of the Chaos Demon Gods noticed the primordial restriction formations of the Five Elements embedded into the ground, their structure flawless and mesmerizing.
They were utterly amazed. This formation alone expanded their understanding of how laws could fuse together in unfathomable ways, deepening their comprehension of the Dao.
"Silence! Have you all forgotten? No loud noises here."
A more experienced Demon God shot them a glare.
Immediately, the others covered their mouths, though their hearts still trembled with awe. Even in silence, they continued absorbing the wisdom hidden within Chaos City, feeling as though they had gained immense enlightenment merely by stepping inside.
They explored the city freely, marveling at its wonders—except for the city's center, which remained off-limits.
Meanwhile, a three-headed demon hound stood guard outside the gate, its face filled with grievance. It had no choice but to remain on duty, preventing young troublemakers from approaching.
Beyond the gates, Gu Chuan observed the arrival of the Chaos Demon Gods with satisfaction. Seeing them enter Chaos City one after another, he felt a sense of triumph, as if he were Emperor Taizong of Tang, gathering the greatest talents under his rule.
And this was merely the beginning. The Chaos Era had only entered its ninetieth cycle. How many more Chaos Demon Gods would come?
"I wonder how those Chaos Demon Gods tasted."
With a single bite, he devoured nine Holy-level Dark Wolf Demon Gods in one gulp.
"Not bad. Lobster, crab, octopus..."
Gu Chuan slowly chewed the flesh of his prey.
Rumble!
As the flesh and blood of the Chaos Demon Gods entered his primordial stomach, their essence was swiftly refined. A massive surge of chaotic energy flooded through his limbs and bones.
His cultivation base, which had been stagnant for some time, began to rise at a visible speed. The magic power coursing through his veins surged, growing exponentially.
To advance in the Quasi-Saint realm, it was normal to require tens of millions of epochs. Sometimes, even that wasn't enough.
This was the limit for most ordinary Chaos Demon Gods. Beyond this point, talent alone was insufficient. Further progress required deep comprehension and rare opportunities.
Yet by devouring nine Quasi-Saint-level Demon Gods of the same rank, Gu Chuan had gained an immense boost.
His understanding of the primordial laws had reached unprecedented heights. At this moment, except for Pangu, no Chaos Demon God could match his comprehension.
Of course, Pangu was a special case—an anomaly in the cosmic order. He possessed the Jade Disc of Creation, which contained three thousand Great Daos, allowing him to gain insight effortlessly.
Other Chaos Demon Gods lacked such a heaven-defying advantage.
For Gu Chuan, his greatest limitation was no longer comprehension but energy accumulation. Cultivating magic power to its peak would normally take endless years.
But now, with these Quasi-Saint-level corpses serving as supreme elixirs, his magic power surged uncontrollably, pushing his cultivation to new heights.
"As expected, devouring Chaos Demon Gods of the same rank is the fastest method to grow stronger."
His eyes gleamed as he felt his strength skyrocket.
His cultivation base had nearly reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Just one step more, and he would attain perfection in this stage, allowing him to truly touch the threshold of sainthood.
Not only had his cultivation base advanced, but his primordial ancient serpent body had also expanded—from 500 billion kilometers to 700 billion kilometers, a full one-fourth increase.
This was an astonishing transformation.
At the Quasi-Saint realm, each step forward was monumental, leading to an exponential increase in power.
The source laws of the universe pulsed.
Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, the greatest gain this time wasn't merely the increase in magic power. It was the primordial laws carried within these Chaos Demon Gods' bodies.
Each of these Demon Gods had spent countless epochs comprehending the laws of chaos. Now, all of that knowledge belonged to him.
For Chaos Demon Gods, comprehension of the Dao was the most vital aspect of cultivation.
Magic power could always be accumulated over time.
And in the realm of chaos, time was the one thing they had in abundance.
"As expected of Quasi-Saint-level Demon Gods. Though their understanding of the laws is still shallow, it is not without value."
Gu Chuan immersed himself in his sea of consciousness, absorbing countless insights.
The primordial laws of thunder, darkness, flames—each of them had now become an intrinsic part of his being.
At the heart of Chaos City, a vortex of chaos swirled around him.
There, Gu Chuan sat entrenched, slowly refining his power.
The passage of time faded from his awareness as he continued his cultivation.
