Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

657. The Shadow of a Chaotic Behemoth Emerges

At his residence, the Ancient Covenant, Lin Fei inquired further about Kunyu City from the three Supremes from Chaos, as well as some common knowledge about Chaos. This information only deepened Lin Fei's resolve.

According to the three Supremes, neither Supremes nor Rulers represent the pinnacle of power within the Chaos. They were uncertain about the highest realms, but they were quite clear about the realms above Supremes—the Masters of Chaos.

To become a Master of Chaos, one must harness the essence of Chaos itself and comprehend certain chaotic principles. Masters of Chaos transcend the level of Supremes and are intrinsically linked to Chaos itself.

Lin Fei also learned about the top-tier Supremes. They are the strongest entities in the Chaos, second only to the Masters of Chaos. Even within the Chaos, their status is exalted, far surpassing that of ordinary Supremes and even realm Rulers. After all, realm Rulers can only match the combat power of a top-tier Supreme within their own realms.

Lin Fei's current strength qualifies him as a top-tier Supreme. Although his formal rank is merely that of a Martial Ancestor, his mastery over the Eternal Realm ensures he can rival a top-tier Supreme.

"Enough," he thought. "I've learned what I needed. Venturing into the Chaos is now the only way forward."

With a deep breath, Lin Fei rose to his feet. Without notifying anyone, he vanished in a flash.

"Whoosh."

In the next moment, Lin Fei had left the Divine Realm. He found himself in the vast expanse of the Chaos. He took one last look back at the Divine Realm, then, with a resolute turn, transformed into a streak of light, speeding deeper into the Chaos.

...

Lin Fei had been flying through the Chaos for several months. The Chaos stretched endlessly, a white expanse that made it seem as if he was making no progress at all. This monotony illustrated just how vast the Chaos truly was, turning even the act of traveling into a dull and tedious affair. Even Lin Fei, usually steadfast and patient, felt the tedium.

Throughout his journey, Lin Fei encountered no obstacles. The Chaos was too vast, and aside from the chaotic energies, it was difficult to come across any other forms of life, let alone face any danger. Though the Chaos certainly contained hazards, most were not encountered on the paths but appeared in other places and in other forms.

Suddenly, Lin Fei felt a slight tremor in the chaotic void. Although it was faint, Lin Fei's acute senses picked it up—the chaotic void was indeed vibrating, and the magnitude of this vibration surpassed that which many Supremes could sense.

"What's going on?" Lin Fei looked in the direction of the disturbance, curious about the potential cause. After sensing briefly and detecting no imminent danger, he hesitated briefly but decided to fly towards the source of the vibrations.

In that part of the chaotic void, there was a terrifying behemoth. The creature had numerous eyes on its head and was immensely large, spanning tens of thousands of meters. It was roaming through the Chaos. Three Supremes appeared to be engaged in battle with this giant beast.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei approached from a distance and caught sight of the behemoth, startled by its presence. It was his first time seeing such a colossal creature within the Chaos. He asked the three Supremes from Kunyu City, who had accompanied him if they recognized it.

The three Supremes from Kunyu City shook their heads and said, "We don't know what kind of life form this is. However, to grow to such a massive size within the Chaos, it must be one of the legendary chaotic behemoths!"

"Chaotic Behemoth?" This was the first time Lin Fei had heard of such a creature.

"Yes, Chaotic Behemoths. These behemoths grow up in the Chaos and have bodies that can merge with the chaotic qi. This environment is perfect for them, making them incredibly formidable. Even ordinary Supremes hesitate to provoke such creatures, and only a top-tier Supreme might stand a chance against them. Otherwise, one might well end up devoured."

Lin Fei mused as he watched the titanic creature battle the three Supremes, who were clearly struggling. The three unknown Supremes were pushed to their limits by the colossal chaotic behemoth, clearly on the losing side. It seemed only a matter of time before they might be swallowed whole.

However, Lin Fei had no intention of intervening to rescue them. He didn't know these Supremes, and in the Chaos, Supremes were usually wary and guarded against each other. No one would risk their safety to save another—it simply wasn't done.

Lin Fei's thoughts raced as he stared at the chaotic behemoth. "What if the essence of this behemoth's flesh could be absorbed by my Eternal Realm? What changes might it bring?"

His mind was drawn to the potential. His Eternal Realm required the essence of flesh, but ordinary essences would no longer suffice, especially since transitioning from a True Immortal world to a realm was a qualitative change.

But a chaotic behemoth was different. These creatures grew within the Chaos itself, their bodies suffused with chaotic energies, perhaps even embodying some of the chaotic laws themselves. If these could be integrated into his Eternal Realm, might it not gradually transform or acquire characteristics of Chaos itself?

Lin Fei realized that his path of cultivation was unique. His fundamental focus was the Eternal Realm. Just as a True Immortal-level world could evolve into a realm and a realm into Chaos, so too could his Eternal Realm transform. The potential power he could reach was beyond even his own imagination.

Thus, harvesting some chaotic behemoths to obtain their essence seemed a promising strategy, beneficial for nourishing life within his Eternal Realm. The benefits might not be immediate, but they would certainly be significant.

"Let's try this." Resolved, Lin Fei decided to engage. He was curious to see just how powerful these chaotic behemoths really were.

"Whoosh."

In the next instant, Lin Fei made his move, darting toward the chaotic behemoth. His sudden appearance caught the attention not only of the behemoth but also of the three Supremes who were in dire straits. They noticed a new Supreme entering the fray, seemingly targeting the behemoth.

With a thunderous roar, the behemoth expressed its displeasure. Meanwhile, the three beleaguered Supremes seized the opportunity to retreat frantically, taking advantage of the behemoth's shifted focus.

In the next moment, Lin Fei was upon the chaotic behemoth, ready to test his strength against this monstrous creature of the Chaos.
