Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 2 – Chaos Genesis Record!

The phantom before him quickly solidified, its aura growing stronger by the moment, so much so that the entire dungeon began to tremble!
His disheveled white hair framed a pair of sharp, crazed eyes; his tattered robes resembled those of a beggar by the roadside—no one would have guessed that he was the Mad Immortal Emperor who had once thrown the entire universe into chaos a hundred thousand years ago!
However, the Mad Immortal Emperor was not a true Immortal Emperor, but rather a True Immortal capable of holding unlimited space in the palm of his hand, just below the supreme Immortal Emperors. Yet it was this True Immortal who, crossing the river of time, had once slain an Immortal Emperor with a single sword strike!
From then on, the Mad True Immortal was hailed as the Mad Immortal Emperor, the first and only person from ancient times to the present to claim the title of Immortal Emperor as a True Immortal!
But it was this very title that provoked the dignity of the other Immortal Emperors. Coupled with the Mad Immortal Emperor's reckless actions, he completely enraged them, leading to their united suppression, leaving behind only a remnant soul.
"I told you before, your seventh-grade Fate Palace is trash. Here I am, an Immortal Emperor, offering to help you cultivate, and you still refuse. Would you have ended up in this situation if you had agreed?" The Mad Immortal Emperor shook his head and spoke.
Su Mu chuckled in response. Half a year ago, a chance encounter had awakened a remnant soul of the Mad Immortal Emperor. He had thought the Mad Immortal Emperor would attempt Body Snatching, but instead, he was fed a constant stream of motivational speeches and then was urged to cultivate the
Chaos Genesis Record
by sacrificing his Dantian!
At that time, he was full of youthful vigor and exceptional talent; only a fool would have agreed. After his refusal, the Mad Immortal Emperor fell into a deep slumber, only to awaken now. Su Mu seriously suspected it was all intentional!
"What should I do now?" With no other options, his only desire was for revenge, to protect the ones he loved!
"Now, I will pass on to you the
Chaos Genesis Record
. The first volume begins with the Dantian as the vein!"
The Mad Immortal Emperor's expression turned solemn. His remnant soul couldn't last much longer. He immediately pointed at Su Mu's forehead, and a brilliant light shot directly into it!
"Hmph!"
Su Mu's body stiffened instantly as a vast flood of information surged into his mind!
"The
Chaos Genesis Record
is a Primordial Immortal Technique. I, the Immortal Emperor, have devoted my life to its study. Yet before my grand vision could be realized, my path ended, and my body perished. My heart is unwilling; I wish to create an Immortal Emperor, to break through the Great Dao!"
"The Great Dao has fifty paths, but the heavens evolve forty-nine, creating forty-nine Hidden Veins, each equivalent to a Dantian, capable of containing limitless power!"
"When the time comes, you will possess the qualifications of a great emperor. If you open one hundred and eight Main Veins, you will be able to sever the eternal past and dominate for thousands of autumns!"
"Kid, I'm giving you a bargain. Don't disappoint me!"
Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, drenched in sweat. Having received the complete
Chaos Genesis Record
, he understood everything!
"It's all because I have the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart!" The reason the Mad Immortal Emperor chose him was because of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, which was highly compatible with the
Chaos Genesis Record
, and could even develop two more apertures, achieving the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart!
The Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, the heart of an immortal!
"Su Mu, this is the Eighteen Buddha Tower, inside which are suppressed the Divine Souls of all the powerful beings I have slain. The power of each Divine Soul can fill one Hidden Vein, but you must proceed with caution and not be greedy!"
"My power is limited now. I can suppress the Eighteen Buddha Tower for three years. Within these three years, you must continually grow stronger to suppress the Eighteen Buddha Tower!"
"If you fail to suppress it, any one of the Divine Souls within the Eighteen Buddha Tower could tear you to shreds!"
Looking at the Eighteen Buddha Tower that the Mad Immortal Emperor had taken out, Su Mu was silent. Three years was too short, but this was a path he had to take!
"Moreover, you must open as many Hidden Veins as possible and devour the power of the Divine Souls within. This will make your suppression easier." With those words, the Mad Immortal Emperor's figure began to weaken, and he looked increasingly exhausted.
Su Mu was moved; the Mad Immortal Emperor wasn't refusing to save him, but was using his last bit of strength to help him suppress the Eighteen Buddha Tower!
"Now, I will help you open the first Hidden Vein. Once successful, you will merge with the Eighteen Buddha Tower, able to devour a Divine Soul and gain supreme power and divine abilities!"
With that, the Mad Immortal Emperor's form dissipated, merging into a brilliant light with the Eighteen Buddha Tower. The tower shone brightly, shooting into Su Mu's forehead and merging with him!
"Clang, clang, clang!"
A surge of power flowed into his body, breaking chains and hooks, and all his injuries rapidly healed. A vein as thick as a thumb began to form and expand within his Dantian!
"Ah!"
Su Mu fell to the ground, the pain of the expanding Hidden Vein causing him to cry out, sweat rolling down like beads.
"In the face of betrayal, in the depths of a blood feud, what is this pain?" Su Mu pounded the ground with his fists, his eyes bloodshot, as he endured the unbearable agony!
"Hmph!"
With a muffled grunt, he passed out, his consciousness entering the Eighteen Buddha Tower!
In a vast space shrouded in white, Su Mu looked around in amazement.
"Is this inside the Eighteen Buddha Tower?"
"This is the first level of the Buddha Tower." The voice of the Mad Immortal Emperor suddenly rang out. Su Mu quickly turned his head, relieved to see the Mad Immortal Emperor had not disappeared.
"The first level holds the Divine Souls of five Heavenly Sovereigns. I can only help you suppress the Buddha Tower; whether you can devour the Divine Souls of the gods is up to you."
"Heavenly Sovereign Divine Souls!" Su Mu gasped. These were beings who wielded the power of laws, capable of shaking heaven and earth!
No wonder he was the Mad Immortal Emperor; none of those he imprisoned were nobodies.
"If the first level holds Heavenly Sovereigns, then what about the eighteenth level!" Su Mu suddenly exclaimed, looking at the Mad Immortal Emperor in shock.
"That's right, above the eighteenth level, the Divine Souls of Immortal Emperors are suppressed. I look forward to the day you devour an Immortal Emperor's Divine Soul!" The Mad Immortal Emperor nodded. Devouring the Divine Soul of an Immortal Emperor who had suppressed the ages was a day he eagerly anticipated!
Su Mu was thrilled at the thought of devouring the Divine Soul of a supreme Immortal Emperor who had dominated for eons!
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he could only dream for now. The Divine Soul of a supreme Immortal Emperor could probably annihilate him with a mere glance!
"Mad Immortal Emperor!"
Suddenly, a roar startled Su Mu. Turning his head, he saw a figure burst out of the white mist, his eyes sharp as swords, his upright stature like a divine sword piercing the skies!
"Lawless Sword Sovereign, a swordsman who once executed an entire minor world with the laws of the sword!" The Mad Immortal Emperor glanced at the Lawless Sword Sovereign and spoke.
Su Mu couldn't help but inhale sharply upon hearing this. A Heavenly Sovereign was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
"If you devour his Divine Soul, you will form the first Hidden Vein, the Sword Vein!"
"And you, will gain his most core power!"
"Mad Immortal Emperor, you have imprisoned me for a full one hundred and fifty thousand years. How much longer will you keep me?"
Lawless Sword Sovereign roared at the Mad Immortal Emperor, but did not dare to approach, fearing him.
A Heavenly Sovereign is but an ant in the eyes of an Immortal Emperor!
"Lawless Sword Sovereign, let's make a deal. If you kill him, I will let you go. How about it?"
Lawless Sword Sovereign was stunned, then turned to look at Su Mu, uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
"Kill him?" To him, Su Mu seemed like nothing more than an untrained youth, an ant that could be squashed with a mere flick of his hand.
"You said it!" He exclaimed with wild joy, charging at Su Mu!
Su Mu's face turned pale; this was a Heavenly Sovereign, whose mere glance exerted an endless pressure on him!
"Chaos Genesis Record!"
He quickly calmed himself and began to run the technique, instantly drawing the surrounding mist into his body, the power of the
Chaos Genesis Record
surging!
Lawless Sword Sovereign looked at Su Mu with a hint of surprise in his eyes, which quickly turned to ruthlessness. His fingers transformed into a sword, aiming straight for Su Mu's forehead!
"I will go against the odds; no one can kill me, not even you, Lawless Sword Sovereign!"
"Devour!"
Su Mu roared, his chest radiating a seven-colored glow.
"Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart!"
Lawless Sword Sovereign's color changed, instinctively retreating in fear. The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart was not only clear in the ways of the Dao but also a bane to Divine Souls!
But it was too late. A powerful suction force overcame him, dragging him uncontrollably towards Su Mu!
"What is this technique!"
"Ah... no, Mad Immortal Emperor, you've imprisoned me for one hundred and fifty thousand years and still won't let me go! Please, let me go, let me go!"
