Chapter 363: Delivered to the Doorstep?

In the boundless desert, a thousand suns scorch the endless land, and an unbearably hot storm whirls up billions of sand grains, forming a sky-covering sandstorm tornado.

"It's truly hot."

Lin Qing stood atop a sand dune, gazing at this desert that stretched to no end, and could not help but sigh inwardly.

With his powerful body cultivated through the "Universe Body" physique-refining method, he still felt the heat; ordinary high-level chaos beings entering here would likely be incinerated by this fiery power before long.

The Flame-Swallowing Python is a chaos creature that feeds on fire, and the source of its inner world is primarily of the fire attribute, so such an environment is quite normal.

Moreover, the distortion of space-time within this world is obviously terrifying; the gravity is so great that ordinary high-level chaos beings entering here would likely struggle even to stand upright.

In such a dangerous world, it is no wonder that a high-level chaos being surviving for more than three days is enough to rank among the top ten of tens of thousands of high-level chaos beings.

"The inner world of a chaos creature is indeed extraordinary..."

Observing this region, Lin Qing could not help but sigh inwardly, "Even after cultivating into a chaos being in the later stages and becoming an eternal existence, the inner world cannot contain living beings..."

Although the inner world of an eternal existence contains a complete set of space-time rules, it is merely a pure source of power, and living beings find it difficult to survive within it.

The inner world of a chaos creature, while perhaps having a harsher environment, can nonetheless accommodate living things.

"Hoo—"

The wild wind howled, and the terrifying power of the source contained within that wind would make even a peak chaos being tremble with fear.

"Wind-aspect world source?"

Sensing the aura within the wild wind, Lin Qing was not in a hurry to withdraw.

It had long been said that once an eternal existence's inner world contains a complete set of space-time rules, it can transform chaos power into world source, and even alter the structure of the world through the world source, making one's strength even greater.

Observing the structure of a chaos creature's inner world might provide inspiration and reference.

"Pity, my realm is still too low; I cannot even see clearly into the Flame-Swallowing Python's inner world, nor can I comprehend anything..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, then turned and flew in the opposite direction of the storm.

With his powerful body, even without activating an eternal treasure, he could easily fly within this world.

Therefore, this storm posed no threat to him.

"Did Xing Lian Hou say there are chaos treasures inside the Flame-Swallowing Python's body?"

While flying in mid-air, Lin Qing carefully searched every corner, "Where is it?"

He now had only a few million Universe Sands left; this amount might seem like a lot to high-level chaos beings, but in reality, it wasn't enough to buy even slightly precious chaos treasures.

Moreover, he still needed to purchase five hundred Chaos Source Crystals, which would require two or three billion Universe Sands.

"Eh?"

After flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers across this vast desert, Lin Qing's eyes suddenly brightened as he spotted a whirlpool-like desert vortex ahead, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, within which he could faintly sense a chaos aura.

The center of this vortex seemed to be continuously swallowing a massive amount of fire-attribute world source, causing the sand flow to surge toward it constantly.

"Let me take a look."

With a casual wave of his hand, a huge and towering golden palm condensed in mid-air, directly reaching into the center of the desert vortex, then gently scooped—

As a massive flow of sand poured down, numerous white-hot sand grains melted into a liquid state flowed like liquid.

In the center of these white-hot molten sand grains lay a dark blue prismatic crystal, surrounded by a ring of white-hot flames; the sheer heat alone caused the surrounding space-time to distort.

"Extreme Fire Eye?"

A smile appeared on Lin Qing's face. "An Extreme Fire Eye the size of a thumb would likely sell for six hundred thousand points at the Chaos Merchant Guild."

If sold for six hundred thousand points at the Chaos Merchant Guild, converted into Universe Sands, that would be at least seventy or eighty million Universe Sands!

Such a treasure would make even many peak chaos beings overjoyed.

"What good luck..."

Lin Qing unceremoniously stored this Extreme Fire Eye, "Or perhaps this is Xing Lian Hou deliberately having the Flame-Swallowing Python bring me here?"

It is said that every chaos creature is full of treasures; their bloodlines are only part of it. For some chaos creatures, the most precious thing is their inner world, which naturally breeds special chaos treasures.

The Flame-Swallowing Python's strength is quite ordinary among chaos creatures, but its inner world is still very precious.

It is said that Xing Lian Hou, fearing the Flame-Swallowing Python would be targeted by other eternal existences, deliberately kept it on the Xing Lian Xianlian Shengxing, relying on the Xianlian Shengxing's source to make other eternal powers give up.

Only because high-level chaos beings posed no threat did the Flame-Swallowing Python allow Xing Lian Hou to use its inner world as a trial location.

"Anyway, it's only three days; I'll just treat this as a treasure hunt."

Lin Qing's eyes shone, and his anticipation grew even stronger. "If I can gather two or three billion Universe Sands to buy five hundred Chaos Source Crystals, that would be even better."

He surveyed this desert, carefully sensed for a while, then turned his head to look in one direction: "There's another sand flow? There must be more than one Extreme Fire Eye in this desert!"

Without further hesitation, Lin Qing immediately flew at high speed in the general direction deduced from the subtle changes in the sand flow.

"Boom!"

As a vast and expansive star river descended from the sky, a sand dune area spanning thousands of kilometers was swept and scoured by the star river, instantly flattened.

At the same time, numerous black figures were swept into the star river; under the scouring of the river water, they instantly turned into nothingness.

More black figures flashed and shifted, escaping the star river's range with astonishing speed.

"Gu Cang, hand over the Extreme Fire Eye!"

At the source of this magnificent and brilliant star river stood a middle-aged man in a purple robe. His demeanor was noble, his expression cold, as he looked down upon the rows of black shadows below: "If you do not hand it over, I will eliminate you from the competition right now!"

The thousands of black figures simultaneously let out a cold laugh: "Tianhe Bo, if you want to kill, just kill. Being eliminated means losing a drop of Star Spirit Marrow, but I never had confidence in passing the selection anyway; do you think I care?"

Tianhe Bo frowned, then spoke coldly, "Do you think leaving here alive guarantees your safety?"

Gu Cang Bo let out a cold laugh, unwilling to waste words, and simply said, "Do as you please."

The Extreme Fire Eye he had just obtained was the size of a fist, worth at least hundreds of millions of Universe Sands!

To obtain such immense wealth, even if he had to face a peak chaos being, he would accept it.

After all, he was skilled at preserving his life and had no fear of being hunted down.

At worst, he could sell the Extreme Fire Eye and hide; hundreds of millions of Universe Sands would be enough for him to buy many treasures, and he would still have a chance to break through the bottleneck of the final space-time mystery.

"Looking for death."

Lord Tianhe's eyes turned icy; he once again urged the vast star river to charge at Lord Gucang, but this time he could disperse the river's power, attempting to suppress and seal him.

During this selection trial, once a life-threatening situation arises, one will be teleported out by the Swallowing Flame Python.

Therefore, he wanted to try sealing him, then forcibly seize the Eye of Extreme Fire.

"Haha..."

Those myriad black shadow figures burst into laughter. "Lord Tianhe, your strength is greater than mine, but you actually think you can seal me?"

Only to see those black shadows disperse, constantly shifting and repositioning, easily dodging the star river's sweep time and time again, and seemingly without any pressure at all.

Lord Tianhe's face grew even colder.

Although he was a peak powerhouse of the Chaos Life, Lord Gucang was only slightly inferior in realm and inferior in secret arts, yet he also possessed the bloodline of a second-generation Chaos Creature, being extremely skilled in life-preserving escape.
