"Now that my pinnacle technique has been completed, it's time to return to the Primal Universe and break through to immortality."

Su Heng put away his divine weapon and left the Tongtian Bridge plane.

Although the Initial Universe's laws were incomplete, one could still gain the laws' acknowledgment there. However, using that to break through to immortality was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Only in the Primal Universe could one draw upon the endless ocean of laws!

However, before breaking through, Su Heng still needed to inform his teacher.

In the Virtual Universe, Su Heng sent Mother Ancestor a meeting request.

He received approval soon afterward.

Through teleportation, Su Heng arrived at the upper level of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe and once again saw that majestic figure.

"Teacher." Su Heng bowed in greeting.

"Mm." Mother Ancestor nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "You can break through to immortality now?"

"Yes. Your disciple has already created a technique capable of shattering the shackles. I simply wasn't sure where I should make my breakthrough."

As he spoke of this, a smile appeared on Su Heng's face.

After several thousand years in the Initial Universe and nearly twenty thousand years in the Primal Universe, he had finally created a pinnacle technique capable of breaking the shackles!

Though he had only just crossed the threshold of pinnacle techniques, it was still enough to be proud of!

"Good!" Mother Ancestor was also overjoyed and actually cried out in excitement.

"Cough, cough. For your breakthrough, you should come directly to headquarters. Great beings protect this place, so nothing can go wrong." Though she was somewhat embarrassed at losing her composure before her disciple, Mother Ancestor was deeply concerned about Su Heng's breakthrough.

"Headquarters? All right, then I'll contact the ship now." After considering it, Su Heng nodded.

Although many immortals resided there, and alien spies might be among them,

even spies would never dare act at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters. After all, Lord of Chaos City's avatar was there, along with a Domain Treasure.

Anyone who dared make a move would die!

At most, they could only spread the intelligence.

A Life Spaceship flew out of the Initial Universe and docked within the Virtual Universe Company's ship passageway.

The hatch opened, and Black Gold King, who worked inside the ship, smiled as he offered his blessings to the young man before him.

"Su Heng, I wish you success in breaking through."

"Once I break through, I'll come drink with you!" Su Heng said with a smile before flying out through the hatch.

To travel from the passageway to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, he still needed to board a dedicated spacecraft. However, because he had notified them in advance, a ship was already waiting for Su Heng.

This journey was for his breakthrough to immortality!

Within the Thousand Treasure River region of the Primal Secret Realm in human territory.

Su Heng's figure descended before an exceptionally magnificent and imposing palace.

This was Mother Ancestor's palace!

The moment he landed, Su Heng saw his teacher in reality. Endless Laws of Space swirled around her.

Though they were meeting again after millions of years, Mother Ancestor did not say much. She merely nodded and said calmly, "Go make your breakthrough."

"Yes!" Su Heng said no more and walked toward the cultivation chamber within the palace.

After entering the chamber, Su Heng sat cross-legged, his state of mind like a vast starry sky, utterly undisturbed.

Within the Original Nucleus inside his body, Su Heng, manifested from the Origin Pearl, opened his eyes.

His Origin Pearl was now composed of nine colors, with only the Law of Time Origin missing.

"Break the shackles and achieve immortality!"

Su Heng admired his laws only briefly before shouting.

A fierce will burst forth from within him. Though it might not compare to Luo Feng, the protagonist of the original work, after ten million years of accumulation, it was enough to rival many king-level immortals!

"Nirvana Life and Death!"

Su Heng unleashed his self-created ultimate technique!

"Boom!!!"

The entire inner wall of the Original Nucleus shuddered violently. Though it trembled somewhat, it remained intact!

"Instant Nirvana!"

Su Heng was not surprised in the slightest. He directly unleashed his strongest technique!

As the technique emerged, a black sphere of light immediately began eroding the inner wall.

A sizzling sound echoed within his body.

Until—

"Crack, crack!"

The inner wall of the Original Nucleus continuously split apart as endless powder drifted out!

The shackles had shattered!

The instant the Original Nucleus's shackles were broken, Su Heng, manifested from the Origin Pearl, became completely connected to the endless Ocean of the Law of Wood at the universe's origin.

The Law of the Origin of Wood descended directly, appearing above Mother Ancestor's palace.

"Rumble~~~~" Endless divine power of wood poured down madly.

Some World Masters who had just stepped into immortality became ordinary immortals, requiring only a small amount of divine power to transform their bodies into divine bodies.

Some exceptionally powerful World Masters, however, became king-level immortals the moment they broke through and required considerably more divine power. Even so, they generally formed only divine bodies with "one hundred thousand times the power of a World Master."

These classifications were based on one's comprehension of the higher laws.

As for Su Heng, his comprehension of the Law of Space could only be considered decent. He had fully comprehended one of the three major categories, roughly equivalent to the level of a high king-level immortal.

That meant a divine body with thirty thousand times the power of a World Master!

However, beyond his law comprehension, Su Heng's genetic level was also extremely high, reaching a full 110 times. His Four-Silver Clan avatar had reached 226 times!

Su Heng's main body alone required divine power equivalent to 3,300,000 times the power of a World Master!

His Four-Silver Clan avatar required 6,780,000 times the power of a World Master!

Such an immense amount of divine power was not much inferior to that of a Universe Venerable!

"The Ocean of the Law of Wood has descended over Mother Ancestor's place? Looks like that little fellow from before has broken through. Judging by this commotion, he's only slightly below a Universe Venerable."

Some great being within the Thousand Treasure River region muttered as he watched the descending ocean of laws.

Outside the palace, Mother Ancestor also sensed the arrival of the ocean of laws. Looking at its vast might, a brilliant smile spread across her face.

He possessed such tremendous power immediately upon breaking through. If he accumulated strength for another several tens of thousands of eras, becoming a Space Honored One would be no difficult task!

At that time, with the aid of his secret techniques, genetics, and Blood Luo Power, as well as one or two treasures, Su Heng would certainly be comparable to a Universe Overlord!

A disciple of the same level as her would be of immense help to her!

Within the Inner World.

The ocean of laws had already departed, yet Su Heng remained standing where he was.

"A soul imprint is fused into every portion of divine power, and every trace of divine power bears my mark. That is divine power that belongs to me."

"What a pity. The complete supply from the ocean of laws only appears when breaking through to immortality. There will be no such thing afterward. Even when breaking through to Universe Venerable, the supply will be time-limited."

Sensing the immense divine power within his body, Su Heng spoke with some regret.

He only had a hundredfold genetic level now. Compared to Luo Feng, how could the gap be merely slight?

Furthermore, the prompt from his destiny indicated that he still had tremendous room for improvement in the future. But by then, he would no longer receive such abundant nourishment from the ocean of laws.

To replenish divine power, he would either need to spend countless years accumulating it or use rare treasures.
