Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 634: The Strange Book…

Zeras’s vow was as cold and chilling as ice as Val felt a cold chill run down his spine, and his eyes flashed a bloodthirsty light as he looked fiercely at Zeras’s back.

“You underestimate yourself too much…” Val said as Zeras shrugged before he continued searching for the Nine Star Fist book that he wanted.

“You don’t want to use your sister’s life to bet on it, do you?” Zeras replied calmly, his eyes flashing when he finally found what he was looking for. He saw the Nine Star Fist manual, and a big smile appeared on his face as he kept it in his spatial ring before he rose up and continued his walk down the shelves, under the two siblings’ shock.

“Brother, who is that?” Alice asked as she looked at her brother, who had a wet patch behind his shirt. It only confirmed to her her brother’s fear and horror, something she had never witnessed up until now…

“Don’t worry about it, Alice. We leave now though…” Val said as he picked up his sister and walked away from the hall, with Val’s heart still pumping within his chest.

“Quite the strange duo…” Zeras mused as he skidded to a stop, turning the side of his head to look at Val, who slowly walked away from the hall, with the girl sitting on his neck as they disappeared from sight.

From both of them, he sensed a very strange and incredibly strong bond around their bodies, almost like a person divided into two, or like a clone and the real person.

“He made quite the good choice, too…” Zeras thought, thinking back to his threat to the young man.

Of course, he wouldn’t rip off someone’s sister’s head.

He said it to test the strange bond that he had sensed around both figures, and contrary to what he said, the young man, who was definitely a prideful figure, had chosen to retreat for the sake of his sister. It was the first time his adversary had retreated from a simple threat from him…

Still, it was nothing but fleeting amusement for Zeras as he focused back on the mission at hand and turned to look at the end of the east side of the room where he was instructed to look. Just as the old man said, there it was…

An extra-large book, placed within a glass cube and placed on a pulpit in the sharp east corner of the room.

“Hmmmm,” arriving before the pulpit, Zeras looked at the glass and the rusty old book with narrowed eyes, trying to find some sort of abnormality with it.

Yet, save for the fact that it was kept on a pulpit and placed in a glass box at the far east side of the room, there was no visible difference to it compared to any other book around.

“You don’t look special to me at all. But why are you kept away from the rest of the books like some sort of treasure…” Zeras asked as he slowly stretched both hands forward, trying to take off the glass stand.

Yet when his hands touched the glass box, golden runes flickered on its surface, crisscrossing and moving around almost like multitudes of gear wheels rapidly spinning.

Instead of jerking away from it, Zeras simply stood there, staring at the hundreds of rapidly twisting wheels. Soon, he felt a burning sensation in both arms as blood poured out of his burnt skin, staining the glass, which quickly absorbed the blood from his palms. In the next instant…

**VROOOOOOOOOOOOM**

The space before Zeras quivered repeatedly, a gaping black hole in the shape of a hand appearing around him.

Then, the hand clenched around Zeras, who faded away on his plane, and once it shut completely on him, the hands retreated back into space, leaving the place completely silent as if nothing ever happened…

Yet, the mere appearance of the hands was enough to make hundreds of slumbering ancient monsters in various areas of the God’s children area snap their eyes open in shock, as heaven-shaking and earth-splitting auras burst out into the sky of various areas of the God’s children, with beings who had been slumbering for countless eons once more awakening…

—

The motion of entire time wheels flashed in his eyes, forcing him to undergo multitudes of others’ entire lifetimes in a single standing!

That was what Zeras was forced to witness when he looked at the golden runes on the glass covering the book.

Even as he felt the space around him splinter apart with something clenching around him before dragging him away, all he felt was the same feeling of numbness that caused him to simply stare blankly, the thought of resistance or any conscious effort on himself easily wiped away.

“What power is this?”

That was the only thing Zeras could say to himself amidst the flashing lifetimes, an incredibly powerful headache rippling through the core of his being, his brain faced with something that was difficult to process. In the end, it chose to be reduced to mush instead of continuing…

But the event, which seemed to him like a lifetime, soon came to a screeching stop.

Zeras felt the floor beneath his knees and once more, his brain slowly attuned itself to the environment as he rose up from the ground and looked around the place, his neck violently jerking to his front as Zeras’s jaw dropped to the ground.

“What! What is this!!!?” Zeras roared out in shock, looking at what was right in front of him, something so simple and common, yet enough to make every cell in his body quiver crazily…

A tower!

A tower so tall its spires, made of gleaming marble and crystal, pierced into the heavens itself. Around the tower, there were hundreds of mythical creatures all floating around it continuously.

Some Zeras recognized, such as a thousand-meter multi-colored dragon, a gigantic bird with half of its side oozing out with ice and the other side brimming with a crimson fiery aura, a beautiful horse-like creature with a single, spiraling horn on its forehead, a creature with the body of various animals, including a dragon, horse, and deer, and a creature with the body and head of a lion yet a god’s head arising from its back and a serpent for a tail.

Their auras alone were enough to make Zeras’s heart violently lurch within his chest. More surprising was the fact that he couldn’t even discover their cultivation base at all, yet it was more than clear that it was far greater than the Undying Realm!

“God… god realm creatures!!!?” He asked in shock, yet he noticed the creatures didn’t look at him at all. Some of them simply slumbered away while others were flying around the tower in an almost endless loop, causing a strange thought to appear in Zeras’s chest.

“Could it be they are all stuck in a different dimension, even though visibly surrounding the castle…” Zeras thought, and his heart calmed down a little, knowing well the creatures, though visibly close, were definitely far away.

Then he was able to turn his attention back to the base of the tower, where stood an entrance—a grand archway flanked by colossal statues of two warrior guardians, both standing at either end of the gigantic tower, their spears propping them up as they stared into the far distance.

“I touched the book that the old fogey said no one has ever been able to take away, and now I find myself before the grandest tower ever.

This could only mean one thing. This tower is a trial tower, and to take the book for myself, I will have to pass the test present within…” Zeras affirmed to himself as he slowly rose up from his knees and walked forward towards the magnificent tower…

Every one of his steps caused the smooth stones beneath his feet to ripple out continuous golden energy waves into the far distance, almost like he was walking on a water surface.

Steeling his heart and nerve, he walked forward, his left hand holding the katana he placed by his waist, and quickly he arrived before the gigantic golden door…

“Huuuu…”

Slowly, stretching his hands forward, they met with the golden gate, a ripple also appearing on its surface. Zeras gathered his strength and pushed, yet the door wouldn’t budge at all, not even a little.

“It’s more than heavy…” Zeras thought to himself, and without wasting a single more second…

“Activate Angered Star Ring…”

**WRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING**

Immediately, a horrifyingly powerful genetic aura burst throughout the entire world as thousands of silvery runic lines appeared all over Zeras’s hands, brimming with an exceedingly chaotic aura…

Clenching his teeth hard, he pushed forward with all his strength…

**DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM**

Slowly, the sound of the gigantic gate being pushed open rang out as horrific veins and muscles bulged all over Zeras’s hands.

After five minutes of exerting all his strength, the door was finally opened enough to make him pass through a tiny hole.

With a single step, Zeras burst forward with speed, quickly entering the door before it shut closed with a powerful bang that would have no doubt reduced him to nothing…

“WELCOME WEAKLING TO THE TOWER OF GOD!”
