Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we've reached the once-in-a-century qualifying battle for the four major Universe Level Secret Realm Qualification Battle.

The Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company are divided into four groups from highest to lowest rank: the Primal Secret Region, the Primordial Secret Realm, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the Apocalypse Secret Realm.

However, being selected into the ' Primordial Secret Realm ' doesn't mean you can stay Primordial Secret Realm permanently! Within the Core Layer, competition is incredibly fierce. The weak are relegated to a lower level, the strong remain, and only the strongest can advance to a higher level.

Generally speaking, in the first Qualification Battle, many newcomers will fall directly to the next level of the secret realm. After all, the veterans have cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years longer than the newcomers, and there is still a gap between the two. However, this year, some unexpected things happened.

First, there's Bolan, one of the newcomers to the Primal Secret Region. He actually reached the 9th level of the Heavenly Bridge before the Qualification Battle! Keep in mind that even the strongest of the three elders of the Primal Secret Region, Fito, is only at the 8th level. Bolan naturally and effortlessly defeated everyone, firmly securing a spot in the Primal Secret Region.

Of course, the other newcomer Long Yun, is in a worse situation. He only has the strength of the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge and is repeatedly crushed by others. He is also destined to lose to the top three in the Taichu Zone and will definitely be eliminated.

The biggest shock was that Luo Feng, a newcomer from the Taichu Zone, made a strong entry into the Primal Secret Region during the first Qualification Battle!

"You're amazing, you're incredible! You actually defeated those scum from the Primal Secret Region, Sima Yan and Molo, and snatched this spot from their jaws." Beside Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, and a group of other friends were congratulating him.

"Actually, if nothing unexpected happens, Krov should also be able to defeat these two." Luo Feng was in a very good mood at this moment, but at the same time felt sorry for the werewolf.

The two elders of the Primal Secret Region, the illusionist Sima Yan, needless to say, possessed an extremely strong will and consciousness that could perfectly counter the other's illusion techniques. He was not afraid of Sima Yan at all.

As for Molo, although he was a martial artist and his self-created secret techniques were quite powerful, he was just a petty person. This time, he finally got his chance and once again humiliated and taught his opponent a lesson.

Of course, all of this was because Krov had an accident and forfeited. The only one who could truly threaten him in this Qualification Battle was this werewolf, but unfortunately, the werewolf was careless and perished in the mission world.

" Bolan is indeed formidable, you can't deny it. But the most incredible one is Luo Ao. Even if he stays at the Domain Lord Level now, he doesn't need to worry about Qualification Battle." Wuka mentioned this name, both Rong Jun and Luo Feng secretly agreed.

This Luo Ao is truly too overpowered.

As far as they knew, the most powerful member of the Primal Secret Region at the Domain Lord Level was only at the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge, and that was the result of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

Luo Ao, on the other hand, had already cleared the Primal Heavenly Mountain without making a sound, which proved that he at least had the strength to pass through the 12 levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

"I really don't know how this monster cultivated?" Wuka considered himself a genius, but there were just too many monsters of his generation, which made him completely lose his confidence.

Let alone Luo Ao and Bolan, even Luo Feng's current rate of progress is completely incomprehensible.

" Bolan, Luo Ao, there are still two figures ahead of me, we can't let our guard down." Although he had successfully entered the Primal Secret Region this time, Luo Feng was still not complacent.

After all, to be honest, if Luo Ao hadn't chosen to break through to the Domain Lord Level himself, he definitely wouldn't have had a chance in this Qualification Battle.

"However, with a level 12 strength, there's really no need to stay at the Universe Level." If he had that strength, he certainly wouldn't be able to stay stuck at the Universe Level either.

While Luo Feng and the others had just gone through the Qualification Battle, Luo Ao had already begun his quiet cultivation in the Initial Universe.

In the Initial Universe, he could constantly observe the Laws of Universal Operation manifested in some spatial rifts high in the sky, and the Lord of Ice Peak also granted him an additional 20 opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, so his cultivation speed naturally progressed by leaps and bounds.

The Initial Universe, Chaos City.

On the rooftop of a Cultivation Residence, Luo Ao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hmm? It can finally be done?" A look of joy immediately appeared on Luo Ao's face.

Long ago, his Internal World had already grown to the peak of the Domain Lord Level Ninth Stage, and in this state, he could break through to the World Lord at any time! However... even when breaking through at the peak, there will be errors.

Those who reach their peak quickly break through quickly, while those who are slower may take ten or eight years, which is quite normal.

Although his peak bloodline of the Silver Moon Planet Clan cannot compare with the Golden Horned Beast in terms of size, the fact that he had previously increased his life genes by a hundredfold made his breakthrough much more difficult than those of other peak bloodlines.

Although it delayed him for a while, at least he's about to enter the World Lord stage!

" World Lord Level!"

"Once I reach the World Lord Level, my consciousness can directly enter the Universe Origin, and my speed of comprehending the Laws will increase dramatically."

"Once I reach the World Lord Level, I will have the opportunity to create a third avatar."

"Once I reach the World Lord Level, my Internal World will undergo a fundamental change, and special abilities will be revealed."

Reaching the World Lord Level is actually when a person makes the greatest progress.

Many people comprehend the Laws at an alarmingly slow pace before reaching the World Lord Level, but once they reach the World Lord Level, they have the hope of cultivating to the point where they can gain the recognition of the Origin Law. This shows the special nature of this realm.

"My Internal World is about to evolve; a new transformation is about to begin." Luo Ao immediately began to pay attention to the changes in his body.

The Internal World.

The once vast silver continent, millions of kilometers long and wide, began frantically absorbing the endless silver mist surrounding it, as well as the endless silver mist high above the continent, the mist enveloping the entire silver continent...

Unlike previous world transformations, the vast continent that Profound Mysteries of Devouring the endless silver mist did not expand, but shrank!

hiss hiss hiss~~

The more silver mist Profound Mysteries of Devouring, the smaller the continent itself becomes, while the entire Internal World space grows larger.

Just a moment!

The diameter of the entire Internal World space was more than ten times larger than before, and new changes immediately began to appear. The originally vast silver continent eventually formed a Two Realms Abyss surrounded by countless silver mountain ranges.

The Abyss of Two Realms Abyss hovers in the vast Internal World space, its Two Realms Abyss cliffs covered with incredibly complex secret patterns.

Within the mountains of the Two Realms Abyss, countless silver light spots were simultaneously gathering. These silver light spots... were the essence of the silver continent that had stretched for millions of kilometers and countless silver mists. At this moment, the densely packed silver light spots were constantly rotating, slowly condensing like a nebula.

Ultimately, an unprecedentedly robust Life Core was born!

Although doing so will create greater constraints for oneself and make future breakthroughs more difficult, there are also many benefits, such as having a huge World Projection.

As the Internal World underwent dramatic changes, Luo Ao Aowu's own body also began to change dramatically.

"Boom..."

Under the influence of an invisible force, the Soul Crystal and Force Crystal within Luo Ao's body melted directly into a torrent of liquid.

When the two torrents of Spiritual Force and Gene Force truly collided and merged with willpower, the first wisp of World Power was born within Luo Ao's body!

The moment the World Power was born, it seemed to resonate with a wisp of Luo Ao's consciousness, allowing him to sense the origin of the vast universe.

"Is this the true Origin Land of the Universe?"

Under the resonance of the ' World Power ', Luo Ao's consciousness instantly entered the Origin Land of the Universe, a vast and boundless land. With Luo Ao's consciousness, he could only sense this endless land and could not sense any other existence. Each grain of soil in this endless land seemed to be a space, and within this space existed countless cosmic crystals.

Just as Luo Ao was feeling it, an invisible connection instantly opened the passage between the ' Internal World ' and the ' Origin Land of the Universe '.

Endless Universe Origin Energy surged wildly into Luo Ao's Internal World, like a super flood, filling the space within his Internal World in an instant.

As far as the Origin Land of the Universe is concerned, releasing even a small amount of energy is enough to fill Luo Ao's Internal World.

But as these Universe Origin Energy continued to pour in, Luo Ao's Internal World began to expand once again.

"That's terrifying!"

Luo Ao watched and felt the ever-expanding Internal World, feeling immense excitement.

The more expansive the Internal World, the more robust it is.

As for breaking through the shackles and achieving Immortal, Luo Ao wasn't worried at all.

"It has already expanded to a diameter of 100 million kilometers, and it is still expanding!" Luo Ao's anticipation grew stronger.

It should be noted that even the strongest Golden Horned Beast, when it reached the Peak World Lord, only had an Internal World diameter of 90 million kilometers. However, Luo Ao has just broken through to the World Lord Level.

An endless stream of Universe Origin power surged in, causing the Internal World to expand continuously; as the Internal World expanded, more Universe Origin power flowed out.

This cycle repeats itself, causing Luo Ao's Internal World to expand continuously.

Boom...

The entire Internal World shuddered violently, finally ceasing its continuous expansion.

"Has it finally reached its limit? A diameter of one billion kilometers?"

Luo Ao's consciousness was immersed in his own Internal World, sensing the vast and boundless edge of it. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "As expected of Origin Core enhanced to the Life Gene Level a hundredfold, it can actually contain such a vast Internal World!"

"Once I reach the World Lord Ninth Stage, my Internal World should be able to expand to a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers. At that time, just one move of World Projection will be incredibly powerful."

Because his Internal World had just begun to form, Luo Ao felt a void and Chaos within Internal World. He immediately stopped thinking about it and began to use his consciousness to control the endless Universe Origin Energy, the ' World Power,' that filled his Internal World.

" Central Continent, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Five Edge Continents, Condense!" A magnificent voice resounded in the silent Internal World.

Immediately, a vast Central Continent with a diameter of approximately 80 million kilometers began to condense in the center of the Internal World, along with five peripheral continents with a diameter of approximately 6 million kilometers. These five peripheral continents were either fiery hot, or icy cold, or covered with endless vegetation, or filled with metallic mountains, or with endless thick soil.

" The Endless Sea, solidify!"

Rumble~~~

An endless flood arose spontaneously between heaven and earth, irrigating and filling most of the area of Internal World, with the sea area far exceeding the land area.

" Central Continent, Endless Sea, Inner Sea, All Things in the World, Life!" Luo Ao looked down at the earth again from mid-air.

Rumble...

A continuous stream of rocks emerged from the earth...

An endless flood arose spontaneously between heaven and earth, falling around the endless continents and transforming into a boundless ocean...

In the vast and magnificent ocean, islands of varying sizes are scattered like stars...

Then, the entire Internal World was filled with mist, and life burst forth...

Mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects... the entire Internal World is no different from the real world.

Amidst the drifting clouds and mist, there stands a magnificent celestial palace, dazzlingly beautiful.

" The Internal World is complete!"

Splash...

The remaining boundless Universe Origin Energy rapidly transformed into cosmic crystals, continuously condensing into Universe Crystal Mountain on the Central Continent.

The Internal World has been successfully condensed, and the remaining Universe Origin Energy, ' World Power,' within Internal World has naturally condensed into cosmic crystals. This is a common experience for powerhouses who have just entered the World Lord Level.

However, how could a normal World Lord, who only obtains a small amount of Cosmic Crystals, possibly condense these Universe Crystal Mountain?

at the same time.

"Rumble~~" Inside the Origin Core, the torrent of Spiritual Force and the torrent of Origin Force had completely merged, evolving into a Origin Bead according to the mysterious natural evolution of the universe!

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

The Origin Core was thus completely altered.

From ' Planetary Level ' to ' Domain Lord Level ', the Origin Core have always been translucent with complex silver patterns on the surface, emitting silver light and appearing very mysterious.

However, upon reaching the World Lord Level... after absorbing the essence of the Internal World, the essence of the Origin Bead, and the essence of the Origin Land of the Universe, the Origin Core transformed into what appeared to be an ordinary Origin Core.

Rustic!

There was no light whatsoever, and even the silver runes had completely disappeared.

"If I were to unleash the World Projection now, I could probably suppress even Peak World Lord expert, right?" Luo Ao secretly wondered to himself.

The power gap between World Lord Level and Domain Lord Level is too large, and besides the difference in basic energy, the World Projection is also one of the reasons.

Given Luo Ao's vast Internal World, once he unleashes World Projection, it would likely be enough to suppress even a normal Peak World Lord.

The Internal World.

Within the vast Internal World, on one of the great snow-capped mountains of the Central Continent, stood Mirror Prism Clone, standing a full twenty meters tall, and another Yan God Race Clone, standing ten meters tall.

" Mirror Prism Clone has broken through to the World Lord Level!"

" The Yan God Race Clone has broken through to the World Lord Level!"

As consciousness propelled the formation, the countless cosmic crystals that had formed a majestic Universe Crystal Mountain shattered into powerful World Power, like two torrents. One torrent of World Power continuously flowed into the Mirror Prism Clone, while the other torrent continuously flowed into the Yan God Race Clone clone.

"Crack crack crack~~" The Yan God Race Clone made various sounds all over its body. After its genes were boosted to 1000 times, its already powerful body began to transform. Profound Mysteries of Devouring a large amount of World Power, causing its body to gradually grow larger. The scales on its body became denser, and the curved horn between its eyebrows became even sharper and more unstoppable.

"Rumble~~" The Mirror Prism Race Clone beside him completely transformed into a stream of blue energy, which became increasingly dense. In the center of the blue energy, one could faintly see a Life Crystal Core that shimmered with the fluctuations of the two Laws space and time.

The life force emanating from the Yan God Race Clone gradually grew to an astonishing level.

The swirling blue air currents grew increasingly terrifying.

Soon, both of Luo Ao's bodies completed their transformation, and he officially broke through to the World Lord Level.

The World Lord's Mirror Prism Clone and the World Lord's Yan God Race Clone both stood on the Great Snow Mountain.

Luo Ao felt the immense power of the Yan God Race Clone and was quite pleased. In terms of raw strength alone, the Yan God Race with 1000 times the genetic power was definitely his strongest combat clone at present.

"Moreover, things are truly different after reaching the World Lord Level." The Mirror Prism Clone clone beamed with joy. "My Mirror Prism Clone already had a Space Laws compatibility boost of several hundred times, and the World Lord Level is the fastest cultivation stage. Now, having reached the World Lord Level, combined with the boost from the Mirror Prism clone's Clone Talent... it's simply, simply..."

It is said that the cultivation speed of World Lord Level is extremely fast.

The World Lord Level represents the peak of one's power, surpassing even the Immortal Level World Lord Level! This is why many powerful individuals prefer to remain at the World Lord Level longer rather than rushing to break through to the Immortal God level.

At this moment, Luo Ao's consciousness resonated through the World Power, instantly entering the Origin Land of the Universe.

The mysterious Origin Land of the Universe.

The core of the entire Primal Universe —no one knows when it existed, but it is known that... consciousness can only enter the Origin Land of the Universe for the first time at the World Lord Level.

"This is so awesome." Most of Luo Ao's consciousness was directly sucked into the endless earth and entered a grain of sand. Moreover, his consciousness was clearer than ever before, and he could sense all kinds of primal fluctuations of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time. He could sense them all.

When consciousness descends to the Origin Land of the Universe, it will be in a state incredibly close to the ' Origin of Laws '. Because it is so incredibly close... it will be the clearest to sense.

Even elements he had never understood before, such as metal, wood, earth, wind, lightning, light, and time, were now perceived with a clarity no less than when he sensed the Law of Fire at the Domain Lord Level.

Of course, if even the Laws that were not very compatible before can be perceived so clearly, then the Space Laws, Flame Law, and Law of Water, which were already very compatible before, will naturally be even clearer now.

"How could the advancement speed of World Lord Level not be fast?"

"This law is hundreds of times easier to comprehend!"

"Many things that are impossible to comprehend at the Universe Level or Domain Lord Level can still be cultivated to the point of gaining 'recognition from the Origin Law ' after becoming World Lord," Luo Ao sighed inwardly. " The World Lord Level is indeed uniquely privileged."

At the World Lord Level... some unparalleled geniuses, after only tens of thousands of years of cultivation, can rival the Immortal God at the King Level in their Law Comprehension.

But for an ordinary Immortal God, even with continuous breakthroughs, reaching the King Level would be impossible in a hundred million years!

That's the advantage!

The advantage of World Lord Level! This is also why many ambitious people are unwilling to enter the Immortal God too quickly. They want to comprehend more Laws at the World Lord Level... so that once they step into the Immortal God, they will have an extremely strong foundation, directly reaching the Marquis Level... or even directly reaching the King Level Immortal God.

For example, the super genius ' Kedi ' was able to kill Marquis-level Immortal God while still at the World Lord Level. Assuming he didn't die and successfully entered the Immortal Level, he would directly become King Level once he stepped into the Immortal!

"Next, I will continue to cultivate in Chaos City for a while. At this cultivation speed of World Lord Level, I estimate that it won't be long before I can officially step onto the stage of the strong."

Before, no matter how talented he was, he was just a genius who hadn't fully matured. But now that his strength has reached the World Lord Level, the situation is different. In fact, if a real fight broke out, he is now fully confident that he can kill many Immortal God.

"If I manage to get my hands on a set of General Armor later, I can disguise myself as a powerful Immortal God, and probably no one will be able to tell," Luo Ao thought to himself.
