Within the Spatial Turbulence.
The location of the eleven Origin Plane.
In this mysterious place inaccessible to others, millions of years seem to pass in the blink of an eye.
Within the misty space, there was no light in the sky; only the various colored lights emanating from the Elemental Sea itself could barely illuminate the various planes.
At the center of the eleven Origin Plane, a black-haired youth dressed in a blue robe floated in mid-air. Even though his eyes were closed and he was motionless, he gave people the feeling of a boulder that had stood between heaven and earth for billions of years.
"Buzz~" From a perspective invisible to ordinary people, the strange energy that originally shimmered with four colors was constantly approaching a wisp of gray air current floating in the air...
"It's done!" Once the first wisp of 'gray energy' in his body was successfully converted, it was as if a valve had been opened, and a continuous stream of 'gray energy' was being converted out!
"Hiss--" This strange, grayish power was incredibly strong. The moment it was transformed, it began to frantically penetrate every part of Luo Ao's body, including his bones, skin, meridians, internal organs, and even his mind and soul.
Luo Ao's muscles were trembling, and his whole body was convulsing.
"Sizzle~" The most minute parts of his body, including muscles and bones, were undergoing earth-shattering changes. Almost every second, Luo Ao's body was strengthening hundreds of times, constantly leaping forward and constantly reinforcing itself. As this terrifying gray power swept through, Luo Ao's body only knew how to continuously improve and strengthen...
"This power is truly domineering, completely disobeying my commands..." The gray energy's transformation of his soul and body was entirely spontaneous; Luo Ao couldn't slow it down even if he wanted to.
A large amount of gray power was consumed by Luo Ao's body.
Yet, within him, it was as if a source of living water was emerging, with new gray power continuing to appear.
At the same time, Luo Ao's body continued to improve and strengthen. The most basic internal components, such as bones and muscles, constantly shattered and reformed, improving time and time again. Each improvement was terrifying, and this improvement never stopped.
In addition, the 'origin' soul that he reforged for himself is also being constantly strengthened!
A moment later, Luo Ao, who was sitting cross-legged in the Origin Plane, finally opened his eyes again.
At this moment, Luo Ao was like a vast and boundless world. Especially after his soul underwent another transformation, his aura became even more solid, like an ancient God Emperor sitting atop the nine heavens!
The mere sight of his blurry figure was enough to send shivers down the spines of countless powerful individuals.
"Now, I can finally break through this barrier."
In the blink of an eye, Luo Ao left the Origin Plane, found a secluded spot, took a deep breath, and raised his palm.
Following his will, the gray power within him condensed into a hazy gray longsword.
The moment the gray longsword appeared, it caused the surrounding endless space to tremble and even crack open with countless fissures.
Holding the longsword, Luo Ao calmly thrust it into the void in front of him.
The sword sliced through the air, and then—
"Boom!" A terrifying explosion rang out, an unparalleled explosion!
Luo Ao's sword strike seemed to have caused a terrifying change! A terrifying black hole, nearly ten thousand miles in diameter, appeared in front of Luo Ao, from which endless, dense gray energy surged in all directions, spreading through the Spatial Turbulence.
"Boom!"
The gray energy spread so rapidly that it almost instantly expanded to hundreds of millions of miles. Fortunately, this was Spatial Turbulence almost no living beings could survive; otherwise, countless lives would have perished in that instant.
The gray energy spreading in all directions naturally enveloped Luo Ao's location, but he did not dodge, because the moment he 'pierced' this world, he had already seen that even larger world!
"Hiss--"
In the Spatial Turbulence, all that could be seen was his body disappearing along with the terrifying gray energy, as if it too had turned into nothingness and vanished completely.
Immediately afterwards, the gray energy surged back into the black hole and disappeared completely, and even the black hole gradually shrank until it vanished.
"Is this the Hongmeng Space?"
Luo Ao looked around. The surrounding space was filled with a strange, grayish energy. He turned around and saw the transparent membrane.
On the other side of the transparent membrane lies Spatial Turbulence.
" Hongmeng? Linley!" Luo Ao's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared ahead.
Two figures appeared in front of him.
The leader was dressed in a simple linen robe. His long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, giving him an unkempt appearance. Beside him stood a young man with long, dark brown hair, who was also smiling kindly at him.
The long-haired middle-aged man couldn't contain his excited smile, "Haha... Congratulations, Third Brother!"
"Congratulations, Luo Ao!" The young man with brown hair also offered his congratulations.
"This is Linley?"
Luo Ao sized up the young man and immediately sensed the soaring sword intent contained in the other's pupils.
"And who are you two?" Although he already knew their identities, he asked knowingly.
"Just call me ' Hongmeng '." The long-haired middle-aged man's name was quite strange, but Luo Ao simply nodded slightly.
The dark brown-haired youth walked up to Luo Ao and said with a smile, "I am Lin Meng... but you can also call me Linley. Linley Baruch!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you two, but why do you both call me Third Brother?" Luo Ao looked completely bewildered.
"Haha... Because you are the second life form after my second brother to break through the cosmic constraints and enter the Hongmeng Space." The long-haired middle-aged man laughed heartily.
"You've broken through the cosmic constraints on your own, so of course you're qualified to be our brother!" The middle-aged man named ' Hongmeng ' was very enthusiastic, while Linley was a little more reserved, but you could still see the happy look on his face.
"The universe?" Luo Ao still looked completely bewildered.
"We'll explain what the 'universe' is to you along the way." The middle-aged man smiled and reached out to grab Luo Ao's arm, and the two of them sped off together. Linley, a young man with dark brown hair, followed beside them with a faint smile.
It's worth mentioning that with each step, the long-haired middle-aged man covered an endless distance, his speed far exceeding that of Luo Ao. Linley, standing beside him, was equally impressive.
"Countless Material Plane, along with the Seven Divine Planes, the four Higher Plane, numerous scattered planes, and Spatial Turbulence, together form a whole known as the universe," the middle-aged man explained with a smile. "As for the gray energy within your body, it is collectively referred to as Hongmeng Spiritual Energy."
" Hongmeng Spiritual Energy?" Luo Ao looked thoughtful, but when he turned his head, he met the unfathomable gaze of Linley, a young man with dark brown hair.
"It seems my two brothers have guessed that I have a little secret." Luo Ao nodded at Linley, but he didn't seem flustered at all.
"My home is just ahead," the middle-aged man pointed ahead.
In the center of endless Chaos energy, a piece of land, tens of meters in diameter, floats suspended. On this land, there is a thatched hut. In front of the hut grows a thick, low osmanthus tree. Under the osmanthus tree are a stone table and three stone benches.
"Let's sit down and talk." The middle-aged man smiled and sat down, and Luo Ao and Linley followed suit.
"Look." The middle-aged man waved his hand, and instantly a mirror-like surface appeared in front of him. Reflected in the mirror was a giant sphere, surrounded by four smaller spheres. The middle-aged man smiled and pointed to one of the smaller spheres on the right, "This is the universe you live in!"
This time, Luo Ao did not show any doubt, but simply nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Hongmeng gave Luo Ao a general introduction to the Main Universe he had created, as well as the four Subordinate Universe.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, " The Magic Universe you live in, and the Main Universe, actually both exist in the Hongmeng Space! As for me... because I was the only life form that was first conceived in the Hongmeng Space, I am named ' Hongmeng '."
"It's quite a coincidence, really. That Magic Universe was originally just an additional Subordinate Universe that I created to stabilize my Main Universe... but unexpectedly, you and my second brother appeared in this Subordinate Universe one after another!"
"Brother, you know. My breakthrough back then was purely due to good luck and coincidence." Seeing Hongmeng looking over, the brown-haired youth said modestly, then looked at Luo Ao: "To be honest, Luo Ao, the difficulty of your breakthrough was much greater than mine."
"Second brother, you're here again. Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. If we follow your logic, I'm just good because I have a good 'birth'." Hongmeng shook his head and joked, "If I were also born inside the universe, I can't guarantee that I could achieve transcendence."
After chatting for a while, the three of them got back to the main topic.
" Luo Ao, your current body is only the Hongmeng Body. After you build your own universe like us and successfully Heaven Opening the world, the Xuanhuang Energy will naturally be born. When you condense it within your body, your body will be enhanced again, becoming the strongest Xuanhuang Indestructible Body." Meng Yi Hongmeng spoke, he smiled and waved his hand, and a leaf immediately fell from the cassia tree beside him.
The leaves suddenly shone brightly.
"I have condensed the methods my second brother and I used to create the universe into this leaf. You can use it as a reference." Hongmeng handed the leaf to Luo Ao.
Luo Ao readily accepted the leaf. Using his soul power to examine it, an endless stream of knowledge instantly flooded into Luo Ao's mind.
In an instant, Luo Ao's understanding of this Hongmeng Space had reached an extremely profound level. He even knew exactly how to use Hongmeng Energy, how to transform it into the five elements, or into earth, fire, water, and wind.
"So that's how it is..." At this moment, he already knew what kind of existence the ' Hongmeng Space ' really was.
"Later, when you're building your own universe, Luo Ao, you can always visit my universe or Linley's universe when you have time, and take a good look around," Hongmeng said with a smile. "Oh, right, I almost forgot, there's one more thing."
After speaking, Meng Yi waved his hand.
Suddenly, a golden scroll flew swiftly from hundreds of millions of miles away, finally stopping not far in front of the three. This golden scroll contained a special pressure that made Luo Ao feel apprehensive. This golden scroll was about six meters long and only about half a meter wide.
Furthermore, Luo Ao immediately noticed the words on the golden notice board.
Behind the list of successful candidates, a blurry, indistinct character, roughly the same size as the list itself, floated in the air. The character was peculiar; Luo Ao had never seen such a character before. Yet, upon seeing it, he inexplicably understood its meaning—"Meng!"
"This is the Hongmeng Golden Ranking!" Hongmeng laughed. "It was also born from the Hongmeng Space. Look at the first line of this Hongmeng Golden Ranking."
Luo Ao has already seen it.
The first line of the Hongmeng Golden Ranking contains only two characters: Hong and Lin. To be precise, only these two characters are displayed in the upper left corner of the entire Hongmeng Golden Ranking.
"Once you're listed on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, you become Hongmeng Controller. Once you become Hongmeng Controller, you can use the energy of any universe and calculate the fate of almost all life!" Hongmeng laughed. "To be listed on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, you must at least break through the universes and come to the Hongmeng Space."
