Breakthrough to the Cosmic Level

The Kinkaku Giant Beast was still in an embryonic state. This wasn't the best time to take over its body. The ideal moment would naturally be right after it hatched!

So whether Luo Feng was willing to take over the Kinkaku Giant Beast's body was still unknown to Wang Cheng.

But right now, he didn't have the time to worry about Luo Feng.

A few days after giving the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg to Luo Feng, Wang Cheng felt his body had reached the limit of the Stellar level. Once the time was right, he would be able to break through to the Cosmic level.

There were two key requirements for breaking through to the Cosmic level. First, the body had to meet the necessary standards. Second, one's will had to be strong enough.

There was no need to say much about his body. Wang Cheng absorbed Cosmic energy through more than a thousand Clones, making his body evolve at an astonishing speed. Moreover, his Primal Body should have no bottleneck when breaking through to the Cosmic level, so there was naturally no problem with his body!

As for his will, Wang Cheng wasn't especially outstanding in that regard. However, he had three thousand Clones cultivating every day, which had greatly tempered his will.

After all, a single day of cultivation cost Wang Cheng as much Mental Power as nearly ten years of cultivation did for other people. Since he could keep going, his will couldn't be too weak. At the very least, it was more than enough to support his breakthrough to the Cosmic level!

Three or four days after he felt his body was nearing its limit, Wang Cheng finally sensed the barrier, close enough to touch.

Without hesitation, he gave Jiang Mingyue a quick instruction, then entered the World Ring.

A breakthrough to the Cosmic level caused quite a commotion. Breaking through directly on Earth was obviously unsuitable.

Even the nearest celestial body outside Earth, the moon, would take Wang Cheng some time to reach. So the World Ring was naturally the best place for his breakthrough.

"Whew!"

Wang Cheng sat cross-legged on a plain inside the World Ring. After taking a deep breath, all the Clones around him vanished.

Whoosh!

The aura he had been deliberately suppressing slowly began to unfurl. Even after reaching its limit, it continued to rise.

An invisible current of air spread out in every direction from Wang Cheng.

It swept far into the distance, rolling out like waves, one after another, without end!

After an unknown amount of time, the bottleneck that had been preventing Wang Cheng from growing stronger suddenly vanished.

In an instant, boundless energy surged forth. His muscles, bones, internal organs, and everything else were rapidly strengthened.

The process lasted three days. Once he felt it was more or less complete, Wang Cheng opened his eyes again.

"I did it at last. Cosmic level!"

Wang Cheng rose to his feet, feeling the vast power within him. A faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The Cosmic level might not amount to much when viewed across the entire universe, but in reality, a Cosmic-level being was already a powerhouse!

In the Cosmic Nation, Planet-level beings were ordinary citizens, while Stellar-level beings could work as bodyguards and were considered somewhat capable. Cosmic-level beings, meanwhile, were known as Cosmic Warriors!

Even in a place like the Outer Realm Battlefield, one needed to reach the Cosmic level just to qualify to enter!

"What's more, I'm no ordinary Cosmic-level being!"

Wang Cheng's thoughts stirred, and a translucent screen appeared before him.

Name: Wang Cheng

Age: 27

Evolution Level: Cosmic level first order (150x Gene)

Opportunity Points: 279

Treasures: World Ring, SDU01--000001 Detector, Universe Chaos Tablet

Manuals: Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, Eternal Void, Wind God Shadow...

Secret Realms: Outer Realm Battlefield (Permanent)

"150x Gene Level!"

Wang Cheng paused in surprise. During his breakthrough, he had sensed that his body's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, but he hadn't expected his Gene level to soar all the way to 150x!

"When I went from Planet level to Stellar level, my Gene level tripled. But going from Stellar level to Cosmic level, it increased fivefold." A thoughtful look flashed across Wang Cheng's eyes.

The Primal Embryo really was an extraordinary thing. If he became a World Lord, could he reach the Perfect Gene Level permitted by the Original Universe?

"With a 150x Gene Level, even though I'm only at the first order of the Cosmic level, my physical foundation is probably only a little weaker than that of a ninth-order Cosmic-level being. And then there's my understanding of the laws..." Wang Cheng's confidence began to swell. By now, a considerable number of Domain Lords probably wouldn't be able to beat him!

Boom!

Wang Cheng threw a punch, and the terrifying force instantly stirred up a storm.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of miles of the plain ahead were torn up. From above, the once-flat plain had been brutally carved into a gorge-like trench.

"Terrifying!"

Wang Cheng flew into the air and looked at the destruction caused by his punch, marveling inwardly.

He hadn't used any techniques with that punch. It was pure physical strength, yet the damage it caused was far more terrifying than an ordinary nuclear explosion!

He could probably wipe out an entire city with a single punch.

After testing his strength in the World Ring, Wang Cheng gradually began to feel bored. What was the point of unleashing this terrifying power against nothing but air?

"I should go take a look at that Secret Realm!" Wang Cheng thought, sensing the Permanent Secret Realm he had obtained from his last Opportunity Draw: the "Outer Realm Battlefield"!

The minimum requirement for entering the "Outer Realm Battlefield" was the Cosmic level. Wang Cheng had only been at the Stellar level before, so he couldn't enter. Now that he had reached the Cosmic level and met the basic requirement, he could finally go in and take a look!

After sensing it for a while, Wang Cheng quickly obtained some information.

Entering this Secret Realm also required sending in one's consciousness, which would then form a new body inside.

However, because this was a Permanent Secret Realm, he would have to spend a certain number of Opportunity Points each time he entered.

Wang Cheng was now at the Cosmic level, so each visit would cost him one Opportunity Point.

He could return by choosing to leave, or by being killed or having his soul enslaved by someone else.

In addition, Wang Cheng could choose whether to reveal his real identity when entering. If he didn't want to, he could use a false identity.

"Entering costs just one Opportunity Point. That's nothing. And being able to use a false identity is good news, too!" Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then prepared to enter.

With his previous experience entering the Real-time Secret Realm, Wang Cheng didn't bother with anything unnecessary this time. He lay down where he was and connected his consciousness to the Secret Realm.

In a daze, Wang Cheng felt his consciousness travel through endless space.
