World Tree, Primordial Dao Tree

Qian Yu immediately understood the information about this clone of his!

This tree was called the Primordial Dao Tree, also known as the Root of Return to Void, the Mother Branch of Ten Thousand Realms, and the Primordial Tree of Destiny.

Mortals commonly called it the World Tree, while immortals and gods simply called it the Dao Tree!

Legend said that before the primordial chaos was divided, when heaven and earth had yet to take form, it was not heaven and earth that came first, but a single seed.

That seed slumbered in the nameless void, emitting no light, unmoving, unborn, until a certain moment!

That fissure split time, split space, split the first cause and effect—this was the root of the Primordial Dao Tree.

It was not born within the world; the world was born upon it!

All planes hung like fruits upon its branches, every world a leaf upon it. When a leaf fell, that world perished; when a branch broke, an epoch ended.

Each branch corresponded to a great dao: time was one branch, space was one, cause and effect was one, life and death was one.

What cultivators called enlightenment was merely touching a leaf on one of these branches.

As for why Qian Yu was able to nurture this clone, it was because during his traversal, he had suddenly passed through that great world, and carried away one of its seeds, which became symbiotic with his soul!

Only after successfully traversing did it begin to gestate.

"Ridiculous, this is utterly ridiculous!"

Qian Yu's face lit up with wild joy—such a terrifying World Tree had actually become his clone!

This was not comparable to those so-called World Trees that devoured worlds; this was the true World Tree, one that nurtured true worlds!

But it seemed that the current World Tree's realm was limited because of him. How long it would take to grow into the primordial, heaven-and-earth-splitting Primordial Dao Tree of legend was unknown.

Still, this was enough, more than enough!

The moment the World Tree was conceived, it adapted to the rules of this world and began ceaselessly evolving the laws of this realm.

This cultivation speed, this rate of law comprehension, was too absurd!

A single moment of cultivation and enlightenment was probably equivalent to hundreds of years of his previous efforts!

And this was just the World Tree freshly conceived, not even a seedling yet!

Good, very good!

Rely on the World Tree? No, better to call it the Primordial Dao Tree.

Calling it the World Tree in the Devouring World felt like it lowered its prestige!

With the Primordial Dao Tree, he would soon break through the shackles of the Stellar Level and reach the Cosmic Level.

Because of its unique nature, the Primordial Dao Tree could not be directly summoned to fight in the outside world. Otherwise, relying on it, he could have slaughtered his way straight through this entire planet!

For the moment the Primordial Dao Tree was conceived, it directly corresponded to the highest level of this world.

That is, the 10081-fold Perfect Gene.

But for some unknown reason, the original universe seemed not to have sensed him, and naturally did not bestow any innate secret techniques.

However, with the Primordial Dao Tree's grade, there was no need for those so-called innate secret techniques to empower it. It only needed to grow normally to become the most supreme existence in this world.

With its 10081-fold Perfect Gene and the Primordial Dao Tree's own grade, even if summoned at just the basic Stellar Level, its actual combat power would be absolutely terrifying.

But even if it couldn't be summoned, it didn't matter.

Just relying on the insights it provided to aid his cultivation was enough for him to escape this hellish life.

In the real world, his consciousness returned to his body.

Qian Yu subconsciously looked up at the room around him. The surroundings were monitored at almost 360 degrees with no blind spots.

No longer paying attention to that, he immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

He would break through to the Cosmic Level in the shortest time possible!

Time flowed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the dantian sea of consciousness, the nine miniature stars within his body expanded to their limits, energy saturated, unable to hold any more.

Using his consciousness as a guide, he detonated the nine perfected miniature stars!

The next moment, the nine stars erupted in violent explosions, the terrifying energy shattering the original balance. The explosive energy contracted, spun, and condensed in the sea of consciousness, forming a spiral galaxy!

The core of the galaxy gradually collapsed, turning into a miniature black hole!!

Cosmic Level, breakthrough!!

Boom! A terrifying aura exploded outward!

The next moment, centered on Qian Yu, a ring of crimson domain spread out!

Double Fire Domain!

In just three days, he had not only successfully broken through to the Cosmic Level but also comprehended a domain!

Fast, too fast!

Cosmic Level—the energy within the body completely transforms from Stellar Level gene source energy into Cosmic Level cosmic source energy, the magnitude and endurance skyrocketing!

The body undergoes a metamorphosis, a leap in life level, lifespan reaching ten epochs!

His aura was so powerful that it pierced through the room, spreading outward in all directions!

Many slaves sensed this terrifying pressure and turned their gazes in unison toward that direction.

And in a magnificent palace not far from the arena.

Planet Lord Setas lounged on a huge soft couch, his left arm wrapped around a golden-haired beauty, his right hand holding a crystal-clear fruit, casually tossing it into his mouth.

Before him, several scantily clad dancers twisted their waists, swaying to the decadent music.

Suddenly, his auxiliary AI appeared at his side.

"Master."

Setas frowned, somewhat impatiently.

"What is it?"

"Detected that one of your slaves has completed a breakthrough."

"Oh? Who?"

Setas perked up with interest.

"Slave number 1797, Qian Yu, has completed a breakthrough. Current realm: Cosmic Level, first stage."

"What!"

Setas sat up abruptly, nearly knocking the two beauties in his arms to the floor.

His eyes widened, his face first showing disbelief, then quickly replaced by wild joy!

"Cosmic Level? Hahahahaha!"

He burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the palace, startling the dancers into stopping mid-step, looking at him in confusion.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Setas said three good words in a row, excitedly standing up from the soft couch, pacing barefoot across the hall.

"A Cosmic Level slave is worth far more than a Stellar Level one! Hahahahaha! A Cosmic Level slave on the market sells for at least ten million Cosmic Coins!"

"Sell him off, and I'll make a killing! Hahahahaha!"

He paced back and forth, barely able to contain his excitement.

"Order him to come see me, immediately! Right now!"

With that, he sat back down on the soft couch, unable to wipe the grin off his face.

"A Cosmic Level slave, hahahahaha!"

Among Stellar Level slaves, those who can break through to Cosmic Level are an extreme rarity. To encounter one is a stroke of incredible luck.

On the other side, in Qian Yu's room.

"Slave number 1797, Qian Yu. The Lord commands you to report to the Lord's Palace immediately."

Qian Yu opened his eyes, slowly retracting his domain into his body, raising an eyebrow. He hadn't expected to be discovered the moment he broke through.

Well, it made sense—surveillance was everywhere, and with an intelligent light brain in place, his realm couldn't be hidden.

But he hadn't planned to hide it anyway!

"He wants to see me? Fine, I've been wanting to see him too!"

A sinister grin spread across his face.

Then, Qian Yu raised his hand and clenched his fist!

Boom!!

Squelch!

His head exploded! Blood sprayed everywhere!
