World Lord

"I thought twenty years would be enough, but it ended up taking five years longer."

Bai Muye opened his eyes, his clear pupils black and white, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips.

"However, it was worth it. Not only did I take a small step forward in terms of domains and laws, but I also cleared away some hidden dangers..."

Whether it was the opponents from his initial life-and-death battles or the memories he later acquired on the Outer Battlefield, they belonged to different individuals, and most were not even from the same race. Everyone possessed their own unique insights into cultivation.

Although they had been "purified" by Xiao Si, he didn't need to worry about any emotional influence, but after deeply integrating them, there were still some issues with compatibility.

For instance, when he first started cultivating, he was most attuned to the lightning attribute. When integrating insights related to lightning, he naturally felt more at ease and connected, whereas other insights held a certain degree of friction.

Now, after twenty-five years of sorting, he had thoroughly incorporated all those insights into his own cultivation system, making them his own.

Furthermore, after this round of cultivation, he had developed ideas for the structure of his Internal World after breaking through to become a World Lord.

"There is no time like the present. Since everything is ready, let's break through..."

He submerged his consciousness completely into the Singularity. The Soul Crystal and Force Crystal within the Singularity, which had previously remained separate and undisturbed, were now influenced by an invisible force, directly transforming into two torrents of liquid. As the two torrents touched, they began to merge, and immediately, a force superior to both liquids began to emerge—the World Force!

When the first wisp of World Force was born, his entire will and consciousness merged into it.

In an instant, Bai Muye's consciousness sensed the vast Universal Origin.

Under the resonance, a wisp of his consciousness followed the World Force to the place of the Universal Origin. In his perception, the place of the Universal Origin was an incomparably vast land. Its boundless extent was such that, with his current consciousness, he could only sense a tiny fraction of it.

But even this tiny fraction was infinitely vast; every grain of soil on the land seemed to be a space containing endless Universe Crystals.

"It truly is a world in a grain of sand..." Feeling this infinite vastness, he couldn't help but marvel.

When the two torrents within the Singularity had completely merged, the interior of the Singularity began to evolve on its own.

The space inside the Singularity had originally been illusory, but now, under the influence of the World Force, it transformed from illusory to real, and the space began to expand infinitely.

Ten thousand kilometers, twenty thousand kilometers... one hundred thousand kilometers... one million kilometers...

It wasn't until the diameter of his Internal World reached ten million kilometers that it finally took shape with a boom!

"Dual World Resonance!"

A channel opened between the Internal World and the place of the Universal Origin through resonance, and endless energy from the Universal Origin poured directly into the Internal World through the channel.

The surge was so violent that the Internal World was filled with the energy of the Universal Origin in an instant.

Suddenly!

At the very center of Bai Muye's newly formed Internal World, a pitch-black Seed appeared!

As soon as the pitch-black Seed appeared, countless dense roots emerged from it. As those roots vibrated, the energy of the Universal Origin that had filled the Internal World was instantly drained!

Bai Muye stared at this scene, dumbfounded.

The resonance channel had been about to close, but after the energy in the Internal World was instantly emptied, the channel began pouring energy through again.

But every single surge was instantly sucked dry by the Seed at the center of the Internal World!

And so, this resonance channel was maintained just like that...

One minute, two minutes... ten minutes... half an hour... one day.

A whole day!

Bai Muye was numb—it was only because the place of the Universal Origin was large enough and had enough origin energy; any other existence would have been sucked dry long ago!

When others break through to become a World Lord, it is a matter that happens in an instant, but he, on the other hand, took an entire day.

His Internal World was not the ordinary type with a diameter of ten or twenty thousand kilometers. Because his Singularity had become incredibly powerful after practicing body-refining techniques, it had formed a massive Internal World with a diameter of ten million kilometers upon breakthrough.

The amount of energy such a massive Internal World could store was countless times that of an ordinary World Lord, yet it had been cycled and drained like this for a whole day!

When the suction of the transparent roots vanished, the resonance channel poured over one last wave of energy, filling the Internal World once more, and then the resonance channel disappeared.

Bai Muye didn't have time to check what changes had occurred in Xiao Si; instead, his entire consciousness controlled the overflowing World Force.

"Condense!"

"Central Taiji Continent, eight peripheral continents of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Wind, and Thunder, rise!"

A perfectly circular continent with a diameter of five million kilometers formed in the center of the Internal World. The circular continent naturally divided into black and white sides in the form of a Yin-Yang symbol.

On the outer side of the circular continent, eight continents formed in eight directions, each with a diameter of one million kilometers, their shapes naturally evolving into trapezoids.

Between the continents, endless seawater began to manifest.

Looking down from high above, the shape of the entire Internal World resembled a diagram of the Primordial Bagua.

"Endless myriad things, come to life!"

The evolution of the Internal World could be left to itself from here on. Once the foundation was set, the Internal World followed its natural evolution, and many flowers, plants, and vegetation grew naturally on each continent...

Various terrains evolved naturally, giving birth to mountain ranges, plains, swamps, snowfields...

A moment later, the Internal World was no different from a real world. The remaining origin energy instantly transformed into massive mountains of Universe Crystals.

Inside the Origin Core formed by the Singularity, the liquid torrents converted from the Soul Crystal and Force Crystal had completely merged, transforming into an Origin Bead.

The Origin Bead rotated slightly, releasing endless threads that connected to the Origin Core.

Dense, golden secret patterns emerged on the surface of the Origin Core before immediately fading away.

"Even with my Internal World reaching a diameter of ten million kilometers, this Origin Core still feels completely at ease..." Bai Muye couldn't help but marvel. "And this is only at the first level of the World Lord realm. By the time I reach the peak of the ninth level, when the Internal World grows even larger, I wonder just how sturdy this Origin Core will become..."

As for the current size of his Internal World, he actually had an inkling of why. In the original story, Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, but the Golden Horned Beast only had ten times the life gene level. Because it was a Star-devouring Beast with a noble bloodline and a massive physical body, its Origin Core was sturdier, allowing it to have an Internal World with a diameter of ten million kilometers the moment it became a World Lord.

He had cultivated the first two levels of the Hunyuan Body Refining Technique, bringing his body gene level to a hundred times that of a normal human. In terms of body genes alone, he was ten times stronger than the Golden Horned Beast, and his Singularity had been further refined by mysterious secret patterns, making its sturdiness no less than that of the Golden Horned Beast. Therefore, it was no surprise that he possessed an Internal World with a diameter of ten million kilometers.

Once the Internal World was completely formed, under the guidance of his consciousness, the vast amount of Universe Crystal within the world transformed into vigorous World Force and surged into his body.

Crackle, pop~~

His body began to undergo a metamorphosis, transitioning from a Domain Lord body to that of a World Lord. The energy required for a hundred-fold gene level was immense, but there was an even greater surplus of Universe Crystal, and his physical transformation was completed in short order.

Clenching his fist slightly, the overwhelming sense of power made him throw his head back and let out a long roar, the sound causing the entire cultivation room to tremble.

As he finished his breakthrough, a pitch-black seed suddenly appeared at the center of the circular continent in the heart of his Internal World, before diving downward and sinking into the soil.

Bai Muye was, of course, fully aware of everything within his Internal World. After the seed sank into the soil, it first sprouted countless roots, which then grew at an astonishing speed, quickly filling the entire underground area of the circular continent.

Then, the seed began to grow upward, gradually rising from its dormant state.

Soon, a tiny, delicate sprout broke through the surface. After growing to a height of one meter in plain sight, it began to harden from the stem upward, quickly becoming a Little Sapling.

This Little Sapling, from its roots and trunk to its leaves, was entirely black.

It wasn't an ordinary black, but a shade of black that seemed capable of absorbing one's very gaze.

"You absorbed so much origin power, and this is all you've grown into?"
