Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes-Chapter 46: Heart of Chaos
As a system notification chimed, a golden light spread across the ground in Wang Yi’s field of vision, emanating from the Chaos Warehouse and expanding in all directions.
Wang Yi vaguely felt that his territory had changed. He looked at the Kawu Beast corpses littering the ground ahead and muttered, "Just as I expected. The first three waves of the void invasion were just freebies. First chicken, then pork, and now beef! But it’ll be different from now on. Is the game just getting started?"
"Become the Master of Xuanhuan, control the Science Fiction City, rule over the Magical Kingdom, or evolve a new ecosystem... Full of opportunity, yet incredibly cruel! Now this feels more like a transmigration story. It’s actually getting me a little excited!"
Wang Yi smiled nonchalantly. Looking before him, he saw that the four reward items from the system had already appeared.
They were: a Small Money Bag, a set of [Construction Drawings for the Heart of Chaos], a Green Chaos Blind Box, and a Green Chaos Egg.
The Small Money Bag contained a total of 33 Gold Coins. After Wang Yi collected them, he now had a total of 116 Gold Coins.
Wang Yi then examined the Chaos Egg.
[Chaos Egg: Green. Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to hatch a naturally rebellious son for you. He will possess one skill and, when extremely enraged, may attempt to murder his father.]
Wang Yi immediately tossed the Chaos Egg into his Storage Waistband.
’Damn, a naturally rebellious son!’
’And he might even try to kill his own father?’
’Who would want that?’
’Looking for a heart attack, are we?’
"I can see the system really wants to give us Players a complete family, but it’s going about it all wrong. First a love-obsessed wife, now a rebellious son. One careless mistake and it’ll be a one-way ticket to disaster!"
Wang Yi grumbled, then opened the Green Chaos Blind Box.
====
DING! Your [One Box, Many Openings] Talent has activated. As you open the current Chaos Blind Box, 5 possible results will be calculated.
DING! Your [Box Opening Enhancement] Talent has activated. The items will be enhanced.
1. Construction Drawings: Dugout (White, Enhance +1)
2. Rose-Scented Lipstick (Green, Enhance +2)
3. Mischievous Slingshot (White, Enhance +3)
4. Bamboo Dragonfly (White, Enhance +4)
5. Chaos Crystal Stone (Green, Enhance +5)

"I choose the Chaos Crystal Stone!"
After Wang Yi made his choice, a fist-sized, golden Crystal Stone appeared in his hand.
The Crystal Stone glowed with a golden light. The light pulsed five times, and the crystal grew to the size of a soccer ball.
Wang Yi looked at the five-times enhanced Chaos Crystal Stone and couldn’t help but be overjoyed!
The original Chaos Crystal Stone was intermediate-grade and granted 5,000 Chaos Energy upon use. This Enhance +5 version, however, was super-grade and granted a whopping 160,000 Chaos Energy!
"160,000! That’s insane, but I love it!"
Overjoyed, Wang Yi used the super Chaos Crystal Stone, and his Chaos Energy shot up to a staggering 185,580 points!
It was utterly impossible for a normal Player to have this much Chaos Energy at this stage.
He then turned his attention to the system reward: the [Construction Drawings for the Heart of Chaos].
These drawings were likely something every Chaos Lord received after withstanding the third void invasion. The Heart of Chaos was undoubtedly the core of a territory. If it were destroyed, the Player Lord would immediately lose their status as a Lord, which was no different from being killed themselves!
Wang Yi immediately built the Heart of Chaos. The structure was a giant, ten-foot-tall crystal, pale blue all over and shaped like a heart. It slowly rotated and pulsed, hovering half a meter off the ground.
====
Name: Heart of Chaos
Level: D
Durability: 100/100
Basic Abilities: [Town Recall Scroll]. By consuming 10,000 Chaos Energy, you can use the Heart of Chaos to create one Town Recall Scroll. Using a Town Recall Scroll allows you to instantly return all surrounding allied targets to the Heart of Chaos.
Equipment Slot: [Empty]
Core Skills: [None]
Civilization Achievement: [None]
Description 1: The Heart of Chaos can be equipped with one core piece of equipment. Core equipment can be swapped out. It is recommended to equip a ranged weapon to gain a ranged attack capability.
Description 2: Each time the Heart of Chaos is upgraded, its Durability doubles, it gains an additional equipment slot, and it will randomly acquire either a Core Skill or a Civilization Achievement.
Description 3: Chaos Energy can be consumed to slowly repair the Heart of Chaos, restoring approximately 1 point of Durability per second. The Chaos Lord cannot move during the repair period.
Description 4: Consuming 100,000 Chaos Energy will upgrade the Heart of Chaos to C-Level!
====
’So the Heart of Chaos is what sells Town Recall Scrolls...’
Wang Yi was currently swimming in Chaos Energy, so he didn’t hesitate. He immediately spent 100,000 Chaos Energy to upgrade the Heart of Chaos once, raising it to C-Level.
"DING! Heart of Chaos upgrade successful. Durability +100, Equipment Slots +1. You have acquired the rare Core Skill [Floating Mountain]. Durability has been further increased by 300. The next upgrade requires 1,000,000 Chaos Energy!"
As the system notification chimed, the Heart of Chaos before Wang Yi suddenly expanded. Within a few seconds, it had transformed into a rocky hill that appeared to be a hundred meters tall.
The small mountain was shaped like a massive stone weight, with a flat bottom and no vegetation on its surface. It landed with a RUMBLE that shook the nearby Eggshell Castle.
’A rare Core Skill?’
Wang Yi checked the Heart of Chaos’s information panel again. Its change in appearance was clearly due to acquiring the [Floating Mountain] skill. The Heart of Chaos was now capable of Floating Flight, but it required Wang Yi’s direct control and would continuously consume Chaos Energy. Its top speed could reach 40 kilometers per hour, but it had to be on the ground to use its Town Recall Scroll ability.
’Interesting, it’s turned into a flying hill. So, when wild monster invasions happen in the future, can’t I just have it fly high up into the sky? Wouldn’t that make it invincible?’
Wang Yi pondered this silently as he sized up his Heart of Chaos.
His Heart of Chaos was now a Floating Mountain. It looked like a bare, weight-shaped mountain with a flat top and steep sides. It even thoughtfully included a ten-foot-wide winding path that led from the base all the way to the summit.
The entire Floating Mountain wasn’t massive, but it wasn’t small either. It could probably hold a dozen or so giant scorpions or about a hundred people without any issue. If he controlled its Floating Flight, he could absolutely use it as an airship!
A moment later, Wang Yi fetched two Sha River Overlord Spears and equipped them to the Heart of Chaos.
The two Sha River Overlord Spears immediately began to float around the Heart of Chaos. Wang Yi studied them for a moment and concluded that they could probably attack automatically, but it was clear they were limited to melee range.
’If I equip the Heart of Chaos with ranged weapons, wouldn’t it basically become a Defense Tower?’
’This Heart of Chaos is interesting,’ Wang Yi thought. ’The higher its level, the more powerful it will obviously become.’ Unfortunately, the next upgrade required a million Chaos Energy, and for now, he was willing but lacked the means.
At that moment, Man Datou and the others had already started carrying the Kawu Beasts to the Gourmet Processing Plant on their own initiative. They were experienced now and didn’t need Wang Yi’s orders, having mastered the art of gourmet processing. They also weren’t fazed by the sudden appearance of the mountain-like Heart of Chaos.
Seeing this, Wang Yi nodded. He then boarded the Floating Mountain and, after a brief moment of study, made it rise from the ground and slowly float into the air. He then controlled it to fly around, up and down.
A short while later, Wang Yi had the Floating Mountain land in an open area three hundred meters from the Eggshell Castle. He checked his own stats and saw that he had 85,490 Chaos Energy remaining. Playing around with it for a bit had consumed exactly 90 Chaos Energy!
Wang Yi crossed his arms and muttered, "This Chaos Energy consumption is acceptable. Floating Flight has strategic uses, so I can’t be stingy with Chaos Energy when it’s needed! In the future, I can use the Heart of Chaos to explore the map, or even fly it directly to attack the Black Mountain Stronghold!"
