Monarch of Heaven's Wrath 74 Terrifying Chaos King Technique.

But how could Liang Chen know that in this wide universe, only some of the more supreme techniques could contain the words King, there were only two ranks of techniques above this, Sovereign, and Empyrean. It wasn't strange for him to not know this, as these ranks had only come about many years after the Genesis War, so they didn't exist when his birth parents sent him into the future.

While Liang Chen was observing the book, it slowly started to open, revealing pages that were as black as the cover, tiny words written in scarlet ink that resembled blood covering every inch of the pages. With the book opening, the information that was written on the first page, an introduction of the technique, started to flood Liang Chen's mind.

As the information entered his mind, Liang Chen felt a soul-tearing pain spread through his mind, all of his consciousness forced into his mind as he felt like his head was about to split in two. He didn't notice, but Guanyu and the others could see that he was starting to bleed from all seven of his orifices, his face quickly turning bloody. Had it not been for Elder Chaotic waving them away, they would have rushed forward to check on him.

The information that flooded his mind didn't stop at just a short introduction, it slowly started to imprint how to cultivate the first part of the technique into his mind. And as the information on how to cultivate the first part of the technique entered his mind, Liang Chen could feel his soul quickly reach its breaking point, on the verge of shattering. But just as he reached the very limit, the information stopped flooding his mind, the voice of Elder Chaotic once again sounding out in his mind.

"That'll be all for now. You can continue to read it when you have strengthened yourself. But don't be hasty! You need to strengthen not only your soul but also your cultivation and your body, otherwise, you won't be able to handle the further parts of the technique."

Liang Chen let out a sigh of relief after the information stopped flooding his mind, returning his consciousness to his body. It was only now that he noticed that his face and robe were covered in blood, but he simply ignored it, giving Elder Chaotic a deep bow.

"Thank you for imparting this technique to me!"

Liang Chen didn't know how techniques were ranked, but he could tell that this Chaos King Technique was truly superb. The first thing it mentioned was that a king wasn't allowed to have a weakness, and the rest of the technique was fully based on this concept. It wasn't just a body cultivation technique, nor an energy cultivation technique. It was a technique one could use to cultivate one's soul, body, and energy! It was exactly what Liang Chen was in need of right now!

After reading the introduction to the technique, as well as how to cultivate the first part, Liang Chen also understood why this Elder Chaotic said that they had an affinity. The technique focused on devouring, refining other beings and using them to increase one's own strength. Liang Chen could only cultivate the first part, but that alone would let him refine other living beings that he killed, absorbing 25% of any single part of their strength.

This meant that he could kill an enemy cultivator and then refine either 10% of their body, their soul, or their Qi and take it for himself! Of course, the technique wasn't completely perfect. The max percentage he could absorb after fully studying the technique was 75% of an enemy's soul, body, or Qi. And he also had to be careful that he properly purified the things he wanted to refine, otherwise, there might be remnant pieces of consciousness left behind, influencing his own personality. There was also the fact that this was the only way for cultivators of this technique to cultivate it, it didn't have any other way of cultivation, one had to devour others.

But even with these parts, Liang Chen was still perfectly happy with the technique, as it even contained nine different skills, three for the first part of the technique, three for the second part, and three for the third part. Elder Chaotic calmly watched Liang Chen give his bow, nonchalantly waving his hand.

"Don't worry about it, it's because of our affinity. Just make sure you prove that my old eyes still work, and don't let the technique go to waste. You should leave and get some rest, it's not easy to read the first part of the technique with that weak soul of yours."

Liang Chen straightened up his body and nodded his head, taking a piece of cloth out from his interspatial ring and wiping his face, cleaning away the blood. He then gave Elder Chaotic one more bow to show his gratitude, before swiftly returning to Guanyu and the others, who looked at Liang Chen with a mixture of shock and curiosity.

The three top disciples and the three elders looked like they were dying to ask Liang Chen something, but were unable to muster up the courage to ask. Guanyu also looked like he wanted to question Liang Chen, but he wasn't like the six others, so he could easily get out the question.

"Seems like your harvest was more than just a little good, which of the techniques did you get?"

Liang Chen didn't immediately respond, glancing at Elder Chaotic, who had somehow brought forth a rocking chair and was now calmly rocking it again. Liang Chen had heard his earlier words, so he was a bit uncertain just how much about the technique he could share. It was only after Elder Chaotic gave a slight nod of his head that Liang Chen turned back to Guanyu and responded.

"I got a technique called the Chaos King Technique."

The six others behind Guanyu looked utterly shocked when they heard Liang Chen's response, but Guanyu only gave a faint nod of his head, an awed and excited expression on his face. He pat Liang Chen on the shoulder, speaking out with a faint chuckle as the group turned around and started to descend the tower again.

"So it really was that one... Kiddo, your luck really is excellent."

Liang Chen quickly followed them, the three top disciples and three elders having somewhat overcome their shock. The eyes they used to look at him now contained a large amount of excitement, a blazing light present in them. It seemed like Guanyu and the others already knew a little about the technique, so Liang Chen was slightly curious how many others cultivated the technique.

"Has the technique appeared in the sect before?"

He was only given the technique thanks to the devouring force hidden deep within his bloodline, so he was also a bit curious about how others acquired it. Did they also have strong devouring force, or could one acquire the technique in a different manner? Guanyu let out a soft sigh, his eyes growing distant as reverence and respect filled them.

"Only twice. The first person who cultivated it was the one who found it while he was traveling through a different universe, the founder of this sect, Storm God Yan Yi. The second person who cultivated it was the person who still protects the sect to this day, Impervious Duan Yong. Other than these two, most others only get the Chaotic Flesh technique, or if they are very lucky, the Chaos Prince Technique, which contains the energy and body cultivation parts of the Chaos King technique. The last time someone acquired the Chaos Prince Technique was around 14,000 years ago, which is why the sect only considers the Chaotic Flesh technique as our supreme technique, the others are simply too rare to rely on."

Liang Chen once again grew shocked after hearing the reply. In the long history of the Storm Wolf sect, only two others had been able to acquire this technique? Liang Chen could somewhat guess at how Yan Yi had acquired the technique, as he could be considered a 10th generation descendant of a Demonic beast that was able to follow the Nine Star Demon God. But how had Duan Yong been able to acquire the technique?

The group continued to descend the tower, with Elder Chaotic appearing on each floor, calmly sitting in his rocking chair as he guarded the tower. Liang Chen couldn't help but be curious about him, turning to Guanyu.

"Grand Teacher Guanyu, do you know Elder Chaotic's origins?"

Liang Chen didn't actually know what he should call Guanyu, so he mimicked what Mao Zexi and the others called him. Guanyu had said that Yan Yi had discovered Elder Chaotic in a different universe, but he didn't say who created him. Guanyu glanced at Liang Chen, giving a slight shake of his head.

"You can just call me Uncle Guanyu, the title of Grand Teacher is too stuffy. And no, he didn't even tell the founder where he came from. The only thing he said was that he was a piece of someone, or something, called Longinus the God Devourer. Other than that, he refuses to say anything else."

Liang Chen gave a faint nod of his head, so not even Yan Yi, the one who found Elder Chaotic, knew exactly where he came from or who had made him. Liang Chen made sure to memorize the name Longinus the God Devourer, just in case he managed to someday find some information about him.

The group quickly left the tower, the gate shutting on its own behind them. Guanyu placed his palm on Liang Chen's shoulder, sending him an expectant smile.

"Well, now that you've gotten that technique, you have to make sure to study it diligently and focus on your cultivation. I hope that our Wolf Hall will have another top disciple in three or four years."

Only two people had ever received the Chaos King technique, and both had become supreme powerhouses in the sect, so it was clear that Guanyu was hoping for Liang Chen to become someone similar. Liang Chen nodded his head, his eyes landing on the other eight towers that were located in the sect.

"I will, Uncle Guanyu. But first I would like to spend a bit of time in the various libraries."

Liang Chen now had a supreme cultivation technique he could use for the foreseeable future, but he was still sorely lacking in knowledge and information about most other things. So what he wanted to do now was to go through the libraries, using his law of time to quickly read through as many books as possible. Guanyu didn't advise against it, nodding his head and giving Liang Chen a reminder.

"That's good too, having enough information and knowledge is just as important as having enough strength, study to your heart's content. Also, don't tell others what technique you have acquired. If anyone asks, just say that you have acquired the Chaotic Flesh technique."

For a second Liang Chen didn't quite understand why he shouldn't tell others, but he quickly realized it. The Storm Wolf sect was only one of five large sects, and there was even the larger Dawn's Blade Alliance at the other side of the planet. There would obviously be some spies in each sect, so if news of his Chaos King technique were to spread, the other sects might quickly learn of it.

And who knew what they might do once they learned that he had acquired this supreme technique, it was likely that they would kill him before he became strong enough to threaten them. Liang Chen gave a solemn nod of his head, assuring Guanyu that he wouldn't tell anyone else.

Guanyu made sure that the six others also understood that they were forbidden from telling others, an order that everyone solemnly nodded their head to. The group split up after this, the three elders and top disciples entering the three towers to focus on their own cultivation, while Liang Chen returned to his own house to give himself a quick clean before he started to scour the libraries.
