The Origin Pours Down, the Nether Sea Runs Wild

The Initial Universe.

Once the Time Law, theoretically one is already at the level of Venerable. However, Tang Ping is currently in the Initial Universe, where the origin has long been manually controlled by the Chaos City Lord, so naturally it will not respond to his breakthrough.

Of course, even if the Chaos City Lord wanted to respond, with the limited origin of the Initial Universe, transforming Tang Ping's body would likely be extremely difficult.

But it's not a big problem.

"City Lord, I have become Venerable. Help me move!" With a thought, Tang Ping sent the message precisely to the Chaos City Lord.

A moment later, an immense and unparalleled fluctuation in spacetime suddenly descended.

Without any extra sound, Tang Ping's main body, along with his endless Nether Sea Clone stretching for billions of kilometers, was directly teleported out of the Initial Universe and landed in an extremely hidden, deep, and tranquil spacetime interlayer.

The next second.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the boundless pressure of the Universe Origin Laws, like a celestial river overflowing, instantly enveloped the entire spacetime!

Above the Endless Nether Sea, a huge Five-Colored Vortex suddenly formed, its range reaching hundreds of billions of kilometers, completely enveloping the entire Nether Sea.

The three laws of wind, thunder, and light blended perfectly within the vortex, while at the core of the vortex lay an extremely profound void, continuously emanating the pure essence of the Time Law!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The visible Divine Power of time transformed into surging seawater, rushing in from the void like ten thousand horses galloping into the Endless Nether Sea.

"The scene of the Origin's descent is so magnificent—" Tang Ping looked up, his eyes filled with shock.

Countless powerful beings throughout the history of the universe have achieved the status of Cosmic Venerable. The Virtual Universe contains countless records of breakthrough scenes, which Tang Ping had carefully studied in his early years.

When each powerful individual breaks through, Five-Colored Vortex and an ocean of Laws of Origin descend upon them. However, the scale of those vortexes is mostly only a few hundred kilometers in diameter, which is insignificant compared to the vast behemoth with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers before us.

"Whoosh~ Rumble~"

Endless Divine Power and seawater poured out from the void core, which was over 10 billion kilometers in diameter, like a waterfall cascading down, crashing heavily into the Endless Nether Sea.

The Endless Nether Sea Clone, as if parched land receiving rain, frantically unleashed towering waves, greedily devouring every drop of Divine Power seawater, and fully propelling the transformation of its divine body from "Immortal" to "Cosmic Venerable."

"The commotion I caused when I broke through to the Venerable was almost comparable to the power of a super strong person advancing to the Universe Master!" Tang Ping's blood boiled, and his surging fighting spirit and heroic passion almost burst out of his chest.

The impact of a breakthrough is always linked to strength.

The limit of one's divine body will increase a hundredfold when transitioning from Immortal to Cosmic Venerable!

For a normal human powerhouse, the power of their divine body would leap from 100,000x World Lord Power to 10 million times the World Lord Power. However, Tang Ping's "Endless Nether Sea" has Life Gene Level as high as 1081 times, and the purity of his Divine Power is far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition, the Endless Nether Sea has a huge volume that is far beyond the norm. The Divine Power that he needs to devour at this moment has already broken through the common understanding!

"Hurry up!"

"Every minute and every second counts. We must absorb Divine Power as soon as possible and complete the transformation of our divine body!" Tang Ping stared at the void passage in the sky above that was constantly surging with Divine Power.

"Inhale! Inhale! Inhale!"

He activated his divine sense with all his might, guiding the Endless Nether Sea to frantically absorb Divine Power. Waves surged on the Nether Sea, each wave devouring the Divine Power seawater, and the transformation of his divine body proceeded rapidly in silence.

According to the rules of the universe's origin, when breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable, if there is no clone, the power of the origin will directly descend upon the main body, helping to efficiently absorb Divine Power;

If there are clones, the original source will precisely descend upon the clone with the largest volume and the most abundant energy. This is "selective descent," a generous gift from the Primal Universe to itself for nurturing life.

For this reason, Tang Ping had already made preparations long before his breakthrough: his Earth-based avatar had quietly left the Solar System and infiltrated the Initial Universe to await orders;

Even the clones that stayed behind to act alongside their son and Liu Hui disbanded on the spot under the pretext of "seclusion to heal injuries," ensuring that all power could be concentrated on the Endless Nether Sea to welcome the arrival of the Origin.

The arrival of the Origin of the Universe has always been brief.

Among the three major leaps—Immortal, Cosmic Venerable, and Universe Master— only when advancing to Immortal will the Origin grant the cultivator ample time to perfectly transform their divine body; while when advancing to Venerable and Universe Master, the time the Origin descends is extremely short, and how much Divine Power one can absorb and how much transformation one can complete depends entirely on one's own ability.

In a short while, the Five-Colored Vortex in the sky slowly dissipated, the mighty Divine Power seawater stopped pouring down, and the pressure of the Origin of the Universe gradually faded away.

The Endless Nether Sea returned to its surface calm, but deep within, undercurrents surged, and the transformation of Divine Power continued. Tang Ping hovered above the Nether Sea, looking down, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he understood the entire situation.

During the outpouring of Divine Power, his Earthly body, which was only a little over a thousand kilometers in size, had already easily completed the transformation into a divine body. The strength of his divine body increased a hundredfold, reaching the perfect Venerable Level.

"Unfortunately, the Endless Nether Sea is too vast," Tang Ping sighed inwardly. "Even with such desperate devouring, we've only completed 12% of the transformation."

The Endless Nether Sea has a diameter of nearly 10 billion kilometers. Although the Divine Power it devoured this time was enormous, it could only transform an area of about 1.2 billion kilometers within the Nether Sea.

However, the transformed Nether Sea Water has a hundredfold increase in the purity of its Divine Power, resulting in a world of difference in its might.

"When a strong member of the Human Race breaks through to the Venerable, the conversion rate of their divine body is usually around 90%. Occasionally, a gifted individual can achieve a 100% perfect conversion. Although their conversion efficiency is low, it's still quite high." Tang Ping silently compared in his mind.

"This harvest is astonishing enough." Tang Ping's lips curled into a smile. "With this Endless Nether Sea, even facing Top Universe Overlord, or even Universe Master, killing me would be no easy task!"

"I'm a hundred times stronger!"

Feeling the boundless divine Divine Power surging within him, Tang Ping was filled with boundless pride and anticipation. "If I encounter those venerable Venerable from Alien Race —no... immortal geniuses—I will definitely have a good competition and see who is the true prodigy of the universe!"

The God Kingdom is the very abode of Immortal God.

As the Immortal God increase their power, their God Kingdom will also undergo transformation.

As early as the Realm Lord era, Tang Ping's Life Gene Level had already exceeded 100 times, and the diameter of his Internal World reached ten million kilometers. Over the past few thousand years, he has been expanding the Endless Nether Sea while tempering his God Kingdom. Although his God Kingdom has been slowly getting stronger, the extent of its growth has always been limited.

But at this moment, having entered the realm of the Cosmic Venerable, he has completed a qualitative transformation, and his God Kingdom has also undergone earth-shattering changes, expanding directly to a diameter of 1 billion kilometers, with the potential to continue expanding.

However, just like the transformation of the divine body, the complete metamorphosis of the God Kingdom also requires time to slowly refine.

Tang Ping understood: the Primal Universe treats life like parents raise children, taking great care of them before they break through to immortality, but once they cross the threshold of immortality, it lets them grow on their own and no longer "cares for them" so meticulously.

It's a pity that this old mother doesn't spoil her child!

In the Void Land, Blood-Clad Tang Ping stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at the endless, churning Endless Nether Sea below. The azure tides of Divine Power pounded against the void's boundary, rippling out circles of dark purple spacetime ripples, making his figure appear even more aloof and solitary.

"Create!"

The single word fell like a thunderclap rolling across the Nether Sea.

In an instant, the Endless Nether Sea suddenly boiled, and billions of tons of Divine Power seawater frantically converged, and a giant figure more than three thousand kilometers tall slowly rose from the waves.

That was Nether Sea Clone, with Hundredfold Gene Multiplier. Its body was covered with flowing dark golden divine patterns, and every breath it took attracted the attention of the surrounding area.

The void trembled slightly.

"Divine Power restored!"

The larger the divine body, the more terrifying its efficiency in absorbing Divine Power.

This is the most basic law of the universe: a two-meter-tall human being can absorb Divine Power at a speed hundreds of millions of times slower than World Tree that is hundreds of millions of kilometers tall. Just like the feeding rate of an ant, how can it be compared to that of a dragon? The energy that a dragon can swallow in one gulp is something that an ant could never reach in its entire life.

The immense energy required for the divine body, which spans over three thousand kilometers, was replenished in just a few minutes by using this Endless Nether Sea, which has a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers.

"Dissolve, converge!"

Then, the giant Nether Sea Clone instantly disintegrated, transforming back into towering seawater that flowed into the Endless Nether Sea.

"Indeed, after entering the Venerable Realm, the Endless Nether Sea can expand again." Tang Ping murmured softly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "However, the Divine Power required for this expansion is too vast, and the Endless Nether Sea can only slowly absorb it on its own. Even if the diameter only increases by one meter, it will require the accumulation of time and effort."

Thinking of this, Tang Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he had the full support of his clan behind him; otherwise, just cultivating this Divine Power Ocean, which is billions of kilometers in diameter, would have taken him countless years.

The next second, Tang Ping's lips curled into a smirk. "A clone!"

The Nether Sea churned more violently, and a Nether Sea Clone avatar, towering 90 million kilometers in size, slowly emerged. Its body, covered with divine runes, blotted out the sky, and the Divine Power swirling around it was enough to make Ordinary Venerable tremble in fear.

"Keep splitting!"

Another colossal clone burst forth from the water, standing shoulder to shoulder with the previous one. The two terrifying auras intertwined, causing the void to distort.

"Continue!"

One day later.

As the last Nether Sea Clone shape, Tang Ping slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the nine colossal figures surrounding him, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

His Divine Power still had room to continue splitting, but if he continued to split, the will strength of his clones would drop to the Venerable level, which would be a loss.

More importantly, these clones were all created using Divine Power Path, unlike traditional Creation Secret Technique that only retain one-tenth of the original's strength. Instead, they are thousands of Gene Multiplier than the original, sharing the same origin and roots!

With a thousand times the genetic potential, a divine body spanning ninety million kilometers, and the aid of top-tier secret techniques at the Universe Venerable level, each clone can possess the combat power of Cosmic Overlord with just a few Supreme Treasure.

If his secret techniques can reach the perfect level of Wind-Thunder Venerable in the future, these clones will become Top Universe Overlord!

Nine Top Universe Overlord avatars, plus the Earthling Main Body, make a total of ten Top Universe Overlord combat forces!

It's important to understand that humanity, as one of the Six Peak Races in the universe, currently only has three registered Top Universe Overlord. Such combat power is truly terrifying!

Tang Ping could no longer suppress his smile, which spread wide and upwards.

The Human Race currently has only about a dozen Universe Master combined. By that calculation, doesn't that mean I'm already below those dozen or so, and above trillions upon trillions of living beings?

Luo Feng? If we were to meet now, we could certainly fight! In the future, Tang Ping would be the one to call the shots on Falling Ink Star!

Oh, the patriarch will soon have a supreme Treasure Palace like the Star Tower, with Gene Multiplier of 10081? Never mind! Farewell.

The next moment.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the surrounding space and time, and two figures walked on the waves. They were none other than the Lord of Peng Gong and the Chaos City Lord. As soon as they appeared, Ziguang was firmly locked onto by the vast and boundless Divine Power Ocean in front of him, and his expression was complicated and inscrutable.

The Divine Power Ocean, with a diameter of billions of kilometers, is an incredibly terrifying size.

Even those of them, standing at the pinnacle of the universe, could clearly feel the subtle tremors of the Space-Time Laws spiraling out of control, as if the rules of this region were about to be swallowed up by this Endless Nether Sea.

"The Nether Sea Clan is indeed blessed with extraordinary advantages," the Chaos City Lord sighed softly, his tone tinged with envy.

However, the two also knew that the more powerful the life form, the more difficult it was to break through. If they could not break through to the realm of the Universe Master, no matter how huge their divine body or how terrifying their combat power, it would ultimately be nothing but a mirage.

But this one is different. In less than ten thousand years, he broke through to become the Time Venerable, which is recognized as the most difficult to achieve, and now he is only one step away from perfecting the Space Law.

Throughout the entire primordial universe, one cannot find another person of such extraordinary talent.

No one doubted that Tang Ping would be trapped by the relatively "simple" Space Law.

Of course, the Space Origin Law and Time Origin Law are both among the most difficult and advanced laws in the universe, but their directions are completely different.

In theory, mastering one of the Superior Origin Law may actually hinder one's understanding of another.

This is why countless high-level Cosmic Venerable and even Cosmic Overlord in the Primal Universe could never even touch the threshold of Universe Master in their entire lives.

The Human Race's high command had long anticipated the time it would take for Tang Ping to break through to the Universe Master. The shortest estimate was at least a million years, and this was a conservative assessment based on the premise that his speed of comprehending the laws far exceeded that of ordinary people.

The Universe Master is an being who Control of Space-Time and time and overlooks the universe.

Reaching this place is extremely difficult, far too difficult!

The Nether Sea Clone possesses the talent to Control of Space-Time.

Tang Ping immediately noticed the two of them, and upon seeing this, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster! Greetings, Lord of Chaos City Lord!"

"Hahaha~" Lord of Peng Gong laughed heartily, "Tang Ping, you really made the Peng Gong Lineage proud! You didn't disappoint me!" Before he finished speaking, a stream of Flowing Light flew out from his sleeve and shot straight towards Tang Ping, transforming into an ancient World Ring.

"Our clan's promise is always kept! This is a high-level Soul Defense Supreme Treasure for you; paired with a set of Ordinary Supreme Treasure, it will be enough to protect you."

After saying that, he deliberately turned his head and glanced triumphantly at the Chaos City Lord.

The Chaos City Lord shook his head helplessly, and with a flick of his finger, another World Ring with an even more imposing aura slowly floated before Tang Ping: "Tang Ping, it has only been a little over two thousand years since our last conversation, and you have already broken through to become Time Venerable. Such talent is truly astonishing."

He paused, then added, "Inside are the three ordinary Soul Defense Supreme Treasure I promised earlier. With them, your three clones can roam freely without worrying about their souls' safety."

Tang Ping was overjoyed and bowed again in gratitude. "Thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you, Chaos City Lord!"

We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!

It should be understood that even those renowned Top Universe Overlord can only possess a few Supreme Treasure at most. Yet, he has not yet achieved any great feats, and the rewards from his clan alone are already so generous, far exceeding expectations!

Human Race truly is the most reliable support!

A warm feeling welled up in Tang Ping's heart, further strengthening his resolve:

Human Race Eternal Undying; my heart holds only loyalty!
