With a slight push, Li Yang shattered the bottleneck between the peak of the Star Lord Realm and the World Realm.
Li Yang’s various Law avatars were, at a minimum, born at the World Realm. Therefore, breaking through to the World Realm presented no difficulty for him. As long as his Law comprehension was sufficient, no bottleneck truly existed.
RUMBLE!
Li Yang sensed a scorching energy radiating through the world.
This energy, endless and pervasive throughout the void, suddenly descended!
This was the Law Origin of the Fire Element!
’Absorb!’
As the Fire Element Law Origin descended, Li Yang began to circulate the Law. Immediately, streams of the Law Origin began pouring into his body!
Subsequently, Li Yang’s body began a rapid metamorphosis.
The cells within him divided continuously, the new ones clearly more vigorous. These nascent cells circulated throughout his system, driving a transformation in every part of him.
A Star Lord Realm cultivator has a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. Upon breaking through to the World Realm, that lifespan increases tenfold, reaching one million years!
The sheer scale of this life-altering metamorphosis was evident!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
An endless stream of Fire Element Law Origin descended. Li Yang had only one thought at this moment: absorb, and keep absorbing!
Ten minutes... half an hour... an hour...
This continued for three full hours!
At last, Li Yang felt his body’s metamorphosis come to an end.
’Is the Fire Element Law breakthrough over?’
Li Yang focused his senses and felt the endless Fire Element Law Origin between heaven and earth gradually dissipate.
By completely mastering a profound skill and breaking through to the World Realm, his lifespan had surged tenfold to one million years—a truly long time.
To cause such a tremendous transformation, Li Yang had naturally absorbed a vast amount of Fire Element Law Origin!
However, the amount of Fire Element Law Origin he had absorbed was utterly incomparable to the endless supply that permeated the heavens and earth.
It was like a single, inconspicuous drop of water taken from an endless river of stars.
This just showed the sheer vastness of the Heaven and Earth Laws’ Origin!
Across the entire Cosmos, all experts absorb this Law Origin. Yet, after countless ages, it seems not to have diminished in the slightest, still pervading every corner of the void.
This was the very essence of the Cosmos!
’World Realm!’
With the breakthrough complete, Li Yang clenched his fist, feeling his own power.
With just a slight exertion, he felt an incomparably immense power welling up inside him! It was undoubtedly far stronger than before.
Previously, at the peak of the Star Lord Realm, Li Yang could already kill Deities. Now, having broken through an entire major realm to the World Realm, his strength had naturally soared!
’I’ve finally reached the World Realm!’
A smile touched Li Yang’s face as he savored the feeling.
Now that he had reached the World Realm, the next step was the Divine Realm!
Sixty years ago, when Li Yang first began cultivating, he had listened to Soul Ink explain the divisions of realms in the Cosmos. He remembered hearing about million-year lifespans and the most powerful masters of the World Realm in the Milky Way Galaxy. Back then, he had been utterly shocked, considering them to be beings of unimaginable power.
And now, after such a short time, he himself had reached that very realm, and could even casually slay a great many of them.
Such was the power of time. No one could ever truly predict the future.
Who could have predicted that the kid from the once-isolated Earth, the one who failed his college entrance exams, would come this far in just a few short decades!
’I’ve mastered the Fire Element Law’s Melting Essence Profound Skill! Next up is the Space Law’s Teleportation Profound Skill!’
Li Yang briefly assessed his strength before composing himself and beginning his comprehension of the Teleportation Profound Skill.
He wasn’t just breaking through with a single Law, after all.
He was only a sliver away from fully comprehending the Teleportation Profound Skill, one of the four great profound skills of the Space Law.
Li Yang settled in to comprehend. In just one minute, he saw through the final mysteries of the Teleportation Profound Skill and mastered it completely!
BOOM!
Instantly, the endless Law Origin of Space descended from the heavens and earth, and Li Yang began absorbing it continuously!
Once he finished absorbing the Space Law Origin, Li Yang moved on to comprehending the Thunder Law’s Burst Profound Skill!
After breaking through with the Thunder Law to the World Realm, Li Yang began comprehending the final one: the Time Law’s Time Domain Profound Skill...
Time flowed on. One hour... two hours...
Wave after wave of Law Origin descended, continuously absorbed by Li Yang’s true body!
Meanwhile, on an incredibly desolate planet in the Solar System, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar and Thunder Star Beast avatar were also breaking through!
Previously, after a great array had been set up on Earth, Li Yang had thought it over and moved his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast avatars off-world.
After all, the previous appearance of the Ancestral Dragon’s corpse on Earth had drawn a massive number of powerful experts.
Those experts had left as soon as they acquired the Ancestral Dragon’s corpse. But if they hadn’t, if they had explored Earth, they might have discovered the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast hidden there.
Earth was attracting too much attention now, so Li Yang had moved his two great avatars away to hide on a remote planet.
Of course, Li Yang’s octopus avatar remained on Earth. It stayed in the ocean, and being a native terrestrial lifeform, it could conceal its energy fluctuations and not attract any attention.
The octopus avatar was sufficient to protect Earth.
This was the exclusive mission Li Yang had assigned to this currently inconspicuous avatar.
Of course, Earth was currently relying mainly on the Nine Elements Defense Array, which could handle Tri-System and Four-Element Deities. For now, the octopus avatar was little more than a decoration.
But at this moment, deep beneath the sea, the octopus avatar was also emitting intense fluctuations as one Law after another broke through to the World Realm...
Time continued to pass. Just like that, a dozen or so hours went by.
HUMMM...
In the void, the endless Law Origin of Time rapidly receded.
And Li Yang finally stopped.
’The breakthrough is over!’
Li Yang let out a long breath, a brilliant smile spreading across his face.
’It’s not just my true body. My Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, Thunder Star Beast avatar, World Tree avatar, and octopus avatar have all broken through to the World Realm. They all now have the power to slay Deities.’
Joy filled Li Yang’s heart.
His Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar and Time Divine Tree avatar, however, had not broken through.
After all, the strength exhibited by the Fire Nether Divine Beast and Time Divine Tree avatars was different from his true body. To be cautious, Li Yang naturally wouldn’t have these two avatars break through at the same time.
He didn’t expect to temper these two avatars through combat, anyway. They just needed to remain quietly among the Fire Nether Divine Beast and Time Divine Tree clans.
In any case, the efficiency of Law comprehension was the same in both the Star Lord Realm and the World Realm, so whether they broke through or not didn’t make a difference.
’My overall strength has increased by about twenty percent.’ After completing all the breakthroughs, Li Yang assessed his power.
His strength hadn’t seen a massive surge from this major realm breakthrough, which was normal. After all, even before the breakthrough, he could already kill Deities with ease!
After the breakthrough, if his overall strength had surged dramatically, wouldn’t that mean Li Yang could easily take on a Dual Pantheon? That was clearly a bit of a stretch.
