Within the sea of clouds.
A pressure slowly emanated from Mu Chen.
After thousands of long years of bitter cultivation, he... had finally broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm!
Of course, this was nothing to be proud of.
In the current Primordial World, everyone was more badass than the last. A Heavenly Immortal was, at best, an ant that could fly.
For comparison.
Mu Chen had spent thousands of years, with a hundredfold cultivation boost on top of that.
Only then had he reached the initial Heavenly Immortal level.
Mu Chen felt somewhat ashamed of this, too.
How embarrassing!
He was nothing short of a disgrace to the Primordial World!
But he did not care too much.
After all, staying alive was the way to go!
After breaking through, Mu Chen slowly began contemplating his own magical power.
Three hundred years passed in contemplation, bringing him straight to the thousand-year fishing milestone.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the thousand-year fishing task. The surrounding sea of clouds is being upgraded... upgrade complete!" "Within the Cloud Sea Grand Formation, the host can possess Quasi-Sage-level power."
The surrounding sea of clouds grew denser, drifting slowly according to a certain pattern, like some sort of formation enclosing Mu Chen.
And within this little world roughly a thousand meters across.
Mu Chen felt as though he had become one with his surroundings. Everything was under his control.
Mu Chen willed it.
The surrounding sea of clouds swiftly transformed, and magnificent buildings took shape, standing in rows atop the clouds like the Heavenly Court.
Another thought.
The countless buildings instantly collapsed and vanished like smoke.
Mu Chen understood.
This Cloud Sea Grand Formation was equivalent to his own little grotto-heaven.
Within this grotto-heaven, although he was still only a Heavenly Immortal, he held the power of life and death over others.
This was law.
Just as all beneath the Heavenly Dao were ants.
The Heavenly Dao reigned supreme.
After manipulating it for a while, Mu Chen could not help laughing aloud.
The feeling of being able to control and look down upon everything was particularly strange, carrying an indescribable pleasure.
No wonder every race sought to cultivate.
It simply felt too good!
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a fierce roar rang out.
It was actually a qilin wreathed in true fire.
It had landed outside the sea of clouds from somewhere unknown, its body as large as a mountain.
Its enormous eyes stared fixedly into the sea of clouds, though it looked somewhat listless.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed? You scared the hell out of me!"
Mu Chen jolted.
Inside his own little world, with Quasi-Sage-level magical power at his disposal, he instantly lost all fear.
Although the qilin could not see Mu Chen, it sensed the provocation and immediately flew into a rage.
Terrifying true fire blasted from its mouth.
Yet when it struck the sea of clouds, it had no effect whatsoever, swallowed up by the clouds in the blink of an eye.
"Heh."
Mu Chen gave a disdainful laugh.
"Come in here if you have the guts!"
The qilin was beside itself with fury.
But before it could act, its body suddenly toppled.
It crashed heavily onto the sea of clouds.
It lay motionless.
Mu Chen froze.
They had injury scammers in the Primordial World, too?
Only in the next instant did he notice that the qilin was already covered in wounds. Its abdomen and forelegs had suffered grievous injuries, and blood poured toward the earth like a waterfall.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like it just went through a huge battle and only fled here because it was dying."
Mu Chen murmured.
Suddenly.
Another enormous dragon, ten thousand zhang long, came charging from the far end of the sea of clouds.
The surrounding sky carried the force of thunder, brimming with killing intent.
Clearly, its target was this qilin.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mu Chen within the sea of clouds.
Then wariness showed in his expression.
I can't see through him!
This fellow actually isn't letting even a trace of his presence leak out.
