The Primordial Wilderness knew no years.

In an unnamed Immortal Mountain.

Lei Jun stood atop the mountain.

Beside him, the World-Destroying Grinding Disc turned slowly, grinding away the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth and Chaotic Qi until they became the purest spiritual energy, which poured into Lei Jun's Lightning Apertures.

The Lightning Apertures flickered in and out, as if countless Small Worlds were breathing in and out.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

At that moment, countless roars came from all directions.

Hundreds of thousands of Fierce Beasts charged toward him, howling.

"They're here!"

Lei Jun slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting.

He had spent days preparing, and had finally drawn all the nearby Fierce Beasts to him. He planned to go all out.

Rumble!

At the same time,

he raised a hand, and the skies instantly gathered with wind and clouds. Thunder rumbled as an endless sea of lightning spread overhead.

Purple lightning as thick as barrels rolled through the dark clouds like swimming dragons.

"Myriad Lightning Descends!"

"Die!"

Once the Fierce Beasts drew near, Lei Jun narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, the sea of lightning that had been gathering overhead for so long came crashing down all at once.

Rumble!!!

All that remained between heaven and earth was the thunderous roar and a vast expanse of dazzling white!

The Fierce Beasts were utterly annihilated.

Only the sudden surge in his Source of Blessing proved that they had ever existed!

"Phew~"

Lei Jun let out a breath, satisfied.

He was now full of ambition, brimming with confidence.

With this Source of Blessing, he finally had what it took to contend with the most powerful figures in the Primordial Wilderness!

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Lei Jun's eyes shifted.

His entire body turned into a streak of light and shot toward the northwest.

A cloud of yellow energy rose ahead, as if trying to flee into the sky.

Whoosh!

But at that very moment, a giant hand seized it firmly. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the hand's grasp.

"My luck really has turned around!"

"I've unexpectedly obtained a wisp of Profound Yellow Qi this time. It's more than enough for me to break through!"

Lei Jun's figure reappeared, satisfaction in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Lei Jun flashed away into the sky.

His most pressing task now was to refine the Profound Yellow Qi, strengthen his Origin, and improve his power.

Inside an Innate Great Array.

Lei Jun sat cross-legged and brought out the Profound Yellow Qi.

He carefully studied its mysteries.

As both were innate energies, the Profound Yellow Qi and Innate Purple Lightning shared certain similarities.

The Daoist Rhymes and laws within it drew Lei Jun into a state of deep contemplation.

After Lei Jun had thoroughly studied the Daoist Rhymes of the Profound Yellow Qi, he began to try refining it.

But he found the Profound Yellow Qi incredibly difficult to break down.

Refining it in a short time was impossible.

"As expected of an innate energy. I wonder if the World-Destroying Grinding Disc can grind it down!"

Hum~

At a thought, the World-Destroying Grinding Disc immediately hovered before his chest.

"Go!"

Without another word, Lei Jun tossed the Profound Yellow Qi into the disc.

Then came the resounding voice of the Great Dao. It was as if Pangu were preaching. All that he had previously failed to understand became crystal clear...

Inside the Innate Great Array.

Lei Jun went into seclusion once more.

He had reached enlightenment!

He had grasped the method for breaking through to the next realm.

At the same time.

Roar!

Outside, an earth-shaking roar turned everything within tens of thousands of miles into wasteland.

A terrifying aura seemed poised to destroy everything.

Rumble!

A powerful Fierce Beast that looked like a tiger, was as large as an ox, and had a pair of wings charged over from tens of thousands of miles away, treading upon a wicked gale...

Its aura was savage, like that of a furious king!

"Who was it?!"

"How dare they slaughter the Fierce Beast Race!"

The Fierce Beast King spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.

It was Qiongqi, one of the Four Great Fierce Beasts!

It had suddenly sensed that its people were being slaughtered in great numbers. Though the victims were only Fierce Beasts below the Golden Immortal realm,

the Fierce Beast Dynasty had now been established, and it represented the authority of the Primordial Wilderness. If anyone dared challenge that authority, it would show them no mercy!

The Primordial Wilderness knew no years.

Who knew how much time had passed?

When Lei Jun opened his eyes again, his aura had surged more than a hundredfold.

And it showed no sign of slowing; it continued to climb!

After using the World-Destroying Grinding Disc to grind down the Profound Yellow Qi, Lei Jun had swallowed it and refined its essence to strengthen his Origin.

But soon, he discovered that under the influence of the Profound Yellow Qi, the apertures throughout his body had turned into Particle Worlds.

This brought a certain cultivation technique to mind: Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force!

The human body consisted of 840 million particles. By awakening every particle, one could transform them into the power of divine elephants and eventually gain the ability to tear apart the sky and earth and devour the stars.

And so,

Lei Jun spent a million years opening countless Particle Worlds, and his power surged as a result.

"That's not right!"

"Why has my power stopped improving after I opened 240 million Particle Worlds?!"

Suddenly, Lei Jun opened his eyes, a beam of confusion flashing from them.

From the moment he had opened 240 million Particle Worlds all the way to 420 million, he had felt no increase in his power.

His strength had grown, but whether he opened hundreds of millions or countless billions of Particle Worlds, all that increased was his physical strength.

One raised to any power was still one!

No matter how many worlds he opened, the result was the same.

But Lei Jun commanded the Origin of Heavenly Punishment. Physical strength alone wasn't enough!

"Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force isn't right for me!"

Then he opened up a world and merged himself into it, becoming one with the world.

Within this world, he was the Heavenly Dao, free to do as he pleased, omnipotent!

In an instant, Lei Jun understood.

"I am the world, and the world is me!"

"Heaven and earth came into being alongside me; the world and I are one!"

"This is my Dao!"

At that moment, Lei Jun broke through!

He truly entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

He now had what it took to travel the Primordial Wilderness!

Lei Jun nodded repeatedly.

He was more than satisfied.

"Am I not more than a hundred times stronger than before?"

"Forget the Four-Nine Thunder Tribulation—even the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation is now mine to unleash at will!"

"Wonderful!"

The Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation was no ordinary tribulation. It carried the intent of Destruction, purging the Cosmos and sweeping away all evil!

It represented the Heavenly Dao Will.

It was perfect for killing Fierce Beasts!

And after comprehending the divine ability World Incarnation, his defenses would reach an unimaginable level.

Only an existence powerful enough to harm a world could possibly hurt him.

In a way, he had basically "cheated"...

And not just any cheat—it was an invincibility cheat!

"Time waits for no one. I'd better go kill some Fierce Beasts and scavenge for Spirit Treasures and Spirit Roots."

At Lei Jun's current level,

there was no danger in the Primordial Wilderness except from a handful of the most powerful figures.

He couldn't let his treasure-hunting plans fall behind!

Whoosh!

At a thought, Lei Jun appeared outside the array.

But the next moment,

his expression turned strange.

"Well, well!"

"Am I too lucky? I run into an elite monster the moment I come out?"

With Lei Jun's current Divine Sense, a casual scan revealed the numerous Fierce Beasts within a million miles.

And one of them was none other than Great Fiend Qiongqi!

Now that he had broken through, Lei Jun had gained not only greater defenses but also incredible speed!

With a Small World, he could become the world itself.

At a thought, he could arrive in an instant!

As long as Lei Jun's world reached a place, he could get there with a single thought.

Crack!

A sound of something breaking through the air came from near Qiongqi.

What had been broken wasn't the air, but space!

Lei Jun used no divine ability or technique. He simply threw a punch!

Rumble!

A tremendous crash rang out.

Before Qiongqi could even react, its entire body collapsed.

When it struggled back to its feet, it was nothing but a broken husk.

Its entire skull was blown apart by Lei Jun's punch!
