Outside Chaos City lay the third region—
territory reserved exclusively for Realm Lord–level Chaos Beasts.
A ripple distorted space.
Jiang Yan and Ai Chen appeared instantly.
Since gaining recognition from the Origin of the Law of Space, Jiang Yan's teleportation range had increased by an order of magnitude. Crossing tens of thousands of kilometers was now effortless.
The land beneath their feet was a boundless wilderness.
Weeds stretched endlessly, dense and twisted, soaked in chaotic energy year-round. These plants bore no resemblance to the flora of the Primordial Universe—each blade felt hostile, warped by Chaos itself.
"So this is the third region?" Ai Chen looked around in surprise.
"It doesn't seem much different from the first."
In truth, she had never dared approach this place before.
Even the second region had been dangerous enough.
Chaos Beasts were no joke.
She had fought them personally—and survived only by caution and teamwork.
Yet now, standing in the third region, she felt no fear at all.
The reason was simple.
Jiang Yan was beside her.
Jiang Yan's gaze shifted slightly to the right.
"—!"
A blur erupted from the weeds.
A Chaos Beast lunged forward.
It stood nearly three meters tall, ape-like in shape, with a hunched frame and abnormally long arms. Its face was buried beneath coarse white fur, bearing only a single vertical brown eye and a wide mouth—no nose, no ears.
As it charged, space itself trembled violently.
"Strange aura," Jiang Yan muttered, brows lifting slightly.
Ai Chen spoke quickly, "Wisdom can't judge its exact strength, but it should be at Realm Lord level."
At the same moment, Salamander's voice rang out in Jiang Yan's mind.
"Master… its energy signature is abnormal. I can't accurately determine its rank."
Jiang Yan nodded.
Then—
He flicked a finger.
A bolt of terrifying thunder-law power pierced the air.
Pfft.
The Chaos Beast was obliterated instantly.
Its corpse disintegrated on the spot—golden blood, bones, and flesh collapsing into swirling chaotic currents. Moments later, a turquoise point of light slowly rose from the dissipating remains.
"Chaos True Spirit!" Ai Chen's eyes lit up.
"Jiang Yan, use it quickly! A Realm Lord–level Chaos True Spirit will have a far stronger effect than the Universe-level ones!"
Jiang Yan didn't hesitate.
His soul power surged outward, wrapping around the turquoise light and drawing it directly into his soul.
Boom—
A profound warmth spread from the depths of his spirit.
"…Mm."
Jiang Yan exhaled softly.
"A noticeable improvement," he said calmly.
"The soul essence has strengthened—slightly, but clearly."
His eyes brightened.
"As expected of one of Chaos City's three great treasures."
"If I absorb enough Chaos True Spirits, my soul strength will approach the Immortal threshold."
Although he cultivated the Thunder Prison Suppression Codex, which massively amplified his spiritual force, that method enhanced output, not essence.
True soul transformation only occurred at the Immortal level.
But—
Quantity could compensate for quality.
"Tens of thousands of Chaos True Spirits…" Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
"That's more than enough to trigger qualitative change."
With his current strength, even if every Realm Lord–level Chaos Beast in this region united against him—
He would still crush them completely.
"How is it?" Ai Chen asked expectantly.
"Excellent."
Jiang Yan raised his hand casually.
Boom!
A Chaos Beast thousands of meters away exploded without warning. A Chaos True Spirit emerged and was instantly restrained by his spiritual force.
"Try it," Jiang Yan said, handing it to Ai Chen.
Ai Chen nodded and absorbed it.
Moments later, her expression changed.
Her entire body felt light, her soul washed clean, as if bathed in warm starlight.
"This—!" She inhaled sharply.
"The effect is insane!"
"One Realm Lord–level Chaos True Spirit is worth thousands of Universe-level ones!"
That was a conservative estimate.
She knew exactly how weak Universe-level Chaos True Spirits were—she had used them herself.
Jiang Yan smiled.
"Then let's begin."
"Officially."
His figure blurred—and vanished along with Ai Chen.
Hundreds of kilometers away, a massive Chaos Beast pack roamed the plains.
Their number exceeded a thousand.
Half an hour later—
Silence returned to the wilderness.
Every Chaos Beast lay dead.
Against Jiang Yan—whose combat power now rivaled Immortal Marquis—
Realm Lord–level Chaos Beasts were nothing more than targets.
It wasn't a battle.
It was a slaughter.
Several hours later.
Jiang Yan absorbed another Chaos True Spirit—and paused.
"…No effect."
He shook his head slightly.
"After more than ten thousand Realm Lord–level Chaos True Spirits, the improvement has stopped."
Ai Chen clicked her tongue.
"That's already absurd."
"Ten thousand Realm Lords," she said helplessly.
"Even someone like Bolan would be lucky to kill dozens of Chaos Beasts in a day—and only Universe-level ones."
No one else in their cohort had even dared enter the second region.
The third region?
Unthinkable.
Jiang Yan nodded.
"Alright," he said.
"Let's push your soul to the Realm Lord peak as well."
"After that, you won't need to come out here anymore."
Soul strength directly affected law comprehension.
These thirty years in the Primordial Universe were priceless.
By raising Ai Chen's soul to its limit now, she could devote all future time to cultivation, secret techniques, and laws—without wasting effort on Chaos Beast hunting.
Soon enough, another Chaos True Spirit merged into Ai Chen's soul.
Her soul strength stabilized.
No further improvement was possible.
Just as Jiang Yan prepared to take her back to Chaos City—
Salamander's urgent voice echoed in his consciousness.
"Master."
"Something big just happened in Chaos City."
