Chapter 2983: Chapter 2983: The Main Peak

Elvinia was still worried.

She had never seen Zen stand upright in the wind before. What if he couldn't return?

Luckily, she, Hutton, and Sally were able to check his soul mark and sense his position.

In the beginning, Zen had moved in sync with the wind.

But before long, he began to fly backward against the wind.

“How?” Elvinia said, covering her mouth in astonishment as she turned to Hutton and Sally while leaning against the corner of the crater.

But Hutton was as shocked as Elvinia.

Even those who had just reached the Chaotic Source Realm found it hard to stand firm for long in such a heavy wind, let alone to go against it.

How did Zen make it?

But she knew his soul mark would never lie to her. Zen was really approaching them.

“I'm afraid Zen has already killed them. He didn't turn around until now,” said Sally, chuckling and looking at her brother and Elvinia.

Sally and Chaim had experienced a similar event before, so she understood Elvinia's shock pretty well.

It was not long before Zen floated towards them above the crater and slowly descended into it.

Elvinia's eyebrows rose as she took in his countenance. “What happened to those people?” she asked.

“I've killed them,” Zen replied flatly.

The hurricane had been of great help to him.

And once the hurricane had come along, there had been no match for him.

It had only taken Zen less than three minutes since the hurricane showed up. He had left to hunt, killed them off one by one, and returned - all of it in such a short period of time. . ℟α₦őᛒÈṣ

What was more, Adonis was as powerful as Chaim and Elvinia.

Elvinia and Hutton looked at Zen with new respect in their eyes.

They had previously thought that Zen was powerful but on the same level as Chaim and Efrain. They had regarded him to be just a little stronger than them.

But now, Zen had, in such a casual, easy way, killed a talent at this level. He had matched up to those at the Chaotic Source Realm!

But everyone knew that Zen hadn't reached the Chaotic Source Realm.

Chaim sighed and smiled, feeling lucky that he was not Zen's enemy.

Fortunately, Zen was on the side of the Oneness Sky Palace. He would have been a terribly formidable enemy if he were from the Bearing race or the Divine Farmer race. And Chaim knew he'd meet a sticky end as Adonis did if he were to confront Zen.

Elvinia had previously fought with Zen in the Phoenix Palace but the strength that he was showing now was much greater than what he had showed then.

She suspected that he had become stronger because of the Civilization Artifact he had obtained from the Dark Region.

When Eastern Emperor Taiyi had later summoned Elvinia, he had asked her to tell him everything that she had seen in the Dark Region. She had remembered everything after she had fully restored her memory.

The Civilization Artifact had chosen Zen instead of her.

Elvinia didn't regret any of it. She knew that if it weren't for Zen, she wouldn't have been able to leave the Dark Region.

Instead, she was happy to see Zen grow into a powerful warrior.

They continued to inch towards the core after they crawled out of the crater.

They had encountered some alien races along the way, but they had just carefully avoided them at the sight of Zen among them.

Most of the creatures aimed at reaching the Chaotic Source Realm and wouldn't compete in vain. A few small races even tried to seek protection from Zen, but were rejected.

Zen was aware that some of the small races were connected to the Bearing race or the Sun Crow race. He didn't want to keep any danger like that man of the Lofty Mountain race around himself.

The core of the Chaotic Source World was a ring-shaped mountain range.

These brown mountains shot up into the sky like sharp swords.

The highest peak was located at the center of the annular mountain range. It was over a hundred million feet high, almost reaching the top of the Chaotic Source World.

“There are tens of thousands of mountains in the core area, but most of the Chaotic Source Spirits gather on the main peak and its four surrounding peaks. The main peak has the largest number of Chaotic Source Spirits,” said Chaim.

Zen stood on a big rock that was as tall as two people standing, one on the other's shoulder and looked at the magnificent main peak. He said, “Then let's go straight to the main peak.”

“No,” said Chaim, shaking his head.

“Why not?” Zen asked.

Both Sally and Hutton looked at Chaim in confusion. Like Zen, they didn't know much about the Chaotic Source World either.

“As a creature from the Other Shore, the Chaotic Source Spirit is different from other creatures from the Source World. They are independent individuals and will grow up after devouring their peers. The mother of the Chaotic Source Spirits is on the main peak,” Elvinia explained.

The mother was the one that had first given birth to the Chaotic Source Spirits. The longer it remained in the Source World, the stronger it would be.

In the early days, someone had gone to the main peak to look for Chaotic Source Spirits. But as the mother became increasingly powerful, the main peak became more dangerous by the day.

In recent decades, very few people had gone to search for the Chaotic Source Spirits on the main peak since the four peaks around it had offered much reaping and in a safer way.

“But most of the Chaotic Source Spirits are on the main peak. Wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't enter it?” Zen asked curiously.

All he knew was that there were only two hundred thousand Chaotic Source Spirits in all, and that was far from enough for those who entered the Chaotic Source World.

“Yes, it is. The Chaotic Source World is so huge that it's impossible to dig out all the Chaotic Source Spirits every time. But if we kill the mother, I'm afraid some powerful warriors will have to fuse with Chaotic Source Spirits on the Other Shore, and bring them to the Source World. And that's going to be big trouble,” said Chaim, wearing a smile on his face.

In fact, every time the Chaotic Source World opened, only about one hundred thousand Chaotic Source Spirits would be swallowed. This number shrank gradually with each time.

However, the fewer the Chaotic Source Spirits devoured, the faster they could be recovered, up to two hundred thousand of them. In the early days, the Chaotic Source World opened once every 15 years only because too many Chaotic Source Spirits were being devoured, and they took a long time to recover.

Zen glanced at the towering main peak through the black smog. Since Chaim and Elvinia had filled him in about it, he would, at least for now, not aim at it.

In addition to the main peak, there were also four peaks in four directions around it. They walked west, encountering the easternmost peak first.

“Okay! Our goal is the eastern peak!” said Sally, stretching out an arm and pointing at the destination.

She and Hutton were confident enough to step into the Chaotic Source Realm. After all, they had Zen with them.

People smiled and nodded before heading for the eastern peak.

They chose to take a radian route, walking northward before going west.

Zen had noticed that Dorothy was moving at the beginning, but was later fixed in the northwest after having remained unmoving for several hours. She should have been hiding and waiting for him. Zen appreciated her smart move. He wasn't about to leave her behind and enter the core area alone.

But the situation was shades different from what Zen had imagined.
