The Primordial Chaos Cosmos is the most primal form of the universe, a state where all things have yet to be born, brimming with infinite possibilities.
To evolve the Primordial Chaos Cosmos into a true universe, the mere operation of chaos follows relatively pure and simple rules. In contrast, the functioning of a true universe is governed by rules far more complex—not chaotic, but a perfect, harmonious whole formed by the intricate interplay of all laws. Thus, even peerless geniuses who have pushed their Chaos Realm cultivation to the ninth level of the Star Tower often find themselves unable to break through.
The difficulty of this breakthrough is simply too high.
Historical records indicate that those who ascended to become Cosmic Deities were, at the very least, at the peak of the eighth level of the Star Tower while still in the Chaos Realm. Though the original Ancient Sacred World era lacked the Star Tower, and many powerhouses from the Ancient Sacred World and the Mother Ancestor Realm never challenged it, their strength could still be compared and assessed. By such comparisons, it is clear that only those with profound accumulation—at least at the peak of the eighth level—could achieve the status of a Cosmic Deity.
**”Rumble—”**
Within the meditation chamber, a vortex of cosmic energy formed, collapsing inward as vast amounts of power poured into the void. Endless cosmic energy was absorbed by Dongbo Xueying’s inner universe, fueling its continuous growth. The commotion was so immense that it sparked countless speculations throughout the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace.
*”Such a disturbance… and its source is the Lingyun Peak? Could Elder Dongbo have broken through to the Chaos Realm?”*
*”It’s only been three hundred years of seclusion—how could it be so fast? Elder Dongbo’s Void World techniques are known to absorb cosmic energy intensely. Perhaps he’s merely refining his moves.”*
*”Elder Dongbo was already at the seventh level of the Star Tower in the Unity Realm. Three hundred years to reach the Chaos Realm—isn’t that normal?”*
Debates raged on.
Yet Dongbo Xueying remained undisturbed in his seclusion. Neither Ancestor Tianyu nor the Lord of Chaos Hall made any public statements.
…
After a long while, the cosmic energy vortex finally dissipated, and the inner Primordial Chaos Cosmos had fully matured.
*”The Primordial Chaos Cosmos is also called a Microcosm,”* Dongbo Xueying mused, sensing the universe formed from his Void World Origin.
This Microcosm was vast and boundless, its interior surging with chaotic power, faint illusions flickering in and out of existence. After all, it was a universe derived from the Void Path—a *Void Microcosm*.
*”The foundation is laid. I hope that one day, this Microcosm can truly evolve, giving birth to all living things and becoming a full-fledged universe.”*
With this thought, he restructured his soul using the laws of the Void Microcosm. However, since his Ancient Cultivation had already undergone a breakthrough, this refinement only enhanced his soul by a mere twenty to thirty percent.
Such was the nature of dual cultivation.
The first breakthrough provided the greatest boost to the soul. Subsequent breakthroughs in other systems were merely embellishments, their benefits diminishing over time.
Dongbo Xueying then settled his mind and continued his contemplation of the Void Path…
**”Whoosh—”**
Freshly ascended, countless insights into the workings of the Void Microcosm flooded his mind. Having once created the *Flower of Destruction* and experienced its perfect “beauty,” he naturally sought to replicate that harmony in the laws of his Microcosm. This was the difference in enlightenment—having tasted perfection, he pursued it with purpose.
Guided by this clarity, his mastery of the Void Path grew increasingly profound and intricate.
**”Boom!”**
In just over five million years of seclusion, Dongbo Xueying mastered the eighth transformation of the *Vermilion Bird Inheritance*—a feat equivalent to the seventh level of the Star Tower. This was no great challenge; even ordinary Chaos Realm cultivators could achieve it given enough time. Palace Master Ba Yun’s *Dragon Inheritance* had also reached the seventh level.
However, Palace Master Ba Yun had trained for countless epochs, his progress grinding to a near halt.
Dongbo Xueying had done it in a mere five million years—an astonishing pace. It was clear that the ninth transformation of the Vermilion Bird Inheritance would pose little difficulty for him.
*”Slower now.”*
*”The deeper I delve, the harder the Void Path becomes. The ninth transformation will likely require a long accumulation of time.”*
After ten million years of dedicated cultivation, Dongbo Xueying realized that reaching the ninth transformation would demand time measured in *hundreds of millions of years*. Yet this revelation alone would incite envy among many Chaos Realm experts.
After all, the Demon Ancestor had toiled for eons, relying on the *Six Avatars Technique* just to reach the eighth level.
Dongbo Xueying, without venturing or enduring trials, could foresee his own path—merely requiring time to achieve the ninth transformation.
*”Now, the Path of Slaughter.”*
Finding his progress in the Void Path slowing, he turned to his other forte—the Path of Slaughter.
Having fused it with the Void Path to create the *Flower of Destruction*, he had also experienced its perfection, which greatly aided his cultivation.
In half a month, he achieved the seventh revolution of the *Dragon Inheritance*.
After another thirty-six million years, he reached the eighth revolution.
*”My talent in the Path of Slaughter is indeed inferior to the Void Path,”* he assessed silently.
*”Now, with both the Vermilion Bird and Dragon Inheritances at the eighth revolution… it’s time to attempt the second form of the *Flower of Destruction*.”*
His eyes gleamed with anticipation.
As its creator, Dongbo Xueying understood that the *Flower of Destruction* required a delicate balance between the Path of Slaughter and the Void Path—a prerequisite for its creation.
**”Huff—”**
Within the chamber, illusory worlds flickered as new Flowers of Destruction formed and collapsed. Though his mastery of both paths had deepened since the Unity Realm, the challenge was paradoxically easier.
Back then, creating a seventh-level *Flower of Destruction* demanded absolute perfection—an ultimate pinnacle. Now, however, both paths still had room to grow. If the Flower felt lacking, he could simply refine his understanding further.
Thus, in just thirty-eight million years…
**”Bloom.”**
A black flower bud hovered mid-air, its six petals and six leaves far more intricate than before.
At his command, the bud unfurled.
The petals and leaves disintegrated into six streams of black energy, annihilating everything within their grasp, leaving only darkness.
*”This strike is far more powerful than the combined might of seven Flowers of Destruction from before. Perhaps it rivals the eighth level of the Star Tower?”*
Though untested, the potential was undeniable.
Three such flowers materialized simultaneously within illusory worlds.
*”The strain on my mindforce is immense. Without the Vermilion Bird Inheritance, I could only manifest one.”*
The Vermilion Bird Inheritance had amplified his soul to three or four times that of an ordinary Chaos Realm expert.
In the Unity Realm, the boost had seemed monumental—but only because his soul was still at that level. For a Chaos Realm powerhouse, the first six transformations might not even double their soul’s strength. Thus, his current enhancement was less dramatic.
Yet three to four times… was still staggering.
…
Time flowed relentlessly.
One hundred and ninety million years passed in seclusion.
Then—
*”Xueying, I’ve emerged.”*
A message arrived.
Dongbo Xueying’s eyes snapped open in delight. His communication treasure’s spirit had strict orders: only urgent matters warranted interruption—except for messages from his wife, Yu Jingqiu.
*”Jingqiu… she’s out!”*
With a thought, space twisted beside him. He stepped through, vanishing toward his distant home universe.
…
*”Master, a lifeform has abruptly left the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace.”*
A deep voice echoed in a tranquil courtyard where Ancestor Tianyu lounged, eyes half-lidded. At the words, his gaze sharpened.
*”For you to report this… there must be something unusual.”*
*”Indeed. The method of departure eluded my detection. I could only confirm that a lifeform exited my surveillance range.”*
Ancestor Tianyu’s expression turned grave.
The speaker was the spirit of the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace’s most secretive guardian formation—crafted jointly by City Lord Luo and the Witch Ancestor. This formation rendered the palace impregnable. Even the enigmatic *Ultra-Distance Teleportation*, though unstoppable, could at least be monitored.
No outsider could enter undetected.
*”Who?”* Ancestor Tianyu demanded. Had the Hall Master of Inquiry assisted someone, the spirit wouldn’t have bothered reporting.
*”Dongbo Xueying.”*
*”Dongbo Xueying?”* Ancestor Tianyu blinked. *”Did he leave on his own, or was he taken?”*
*”He left alone.”*
Ancestor Tianyu froze.
*”Alone? He can perform Ultra-Distance Teleportation?”*
The ability was exceedingly rare.
Most Cosmic Deities couldn’t manage it. Thus, factions often sought to recruit or nurture those who could. The Tai Xu Heavenly Palace had only one—the Hall Master of Inquiry. Without him, the palace’s reach would be crippled.
*”Could his Ancient Cultivation grant him a spatial talent? He is a Voidwalker, after all…”*
A slow smile spread across Ancestor Tianyu’s face.
