Logo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
The territory of the Spirit Saint Domain has expanded more than tenfold compared to before. Originally just a medium-sized realm floating in the Chaos Sea, after thousands of years of development, the nourishment of the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc, and the immense energy released after the suppression of the three Eternal, the Spirit Saint Domain has now swelled to a size that ordinary Eternal can only dream of. Its boundaries extend outwards for countless miles. On those newly opened territories, new mountains are forming, new rivers are flowing, and new life is being born—everything is a vibrant scene of life.
A look of satisfaction flashed in Logo's eyes.
Then, his body began to swell.
It was an extremely slow, yet extremely resolute expansion, like a sleeping giant slowly awakening, like a dormant volcano gradually rising. His height increased from nine feet to nine feet, to nine hundred feet, to ninety thousand feet, to nine million feet... His physique was as if being pulled by an invisible, enormous force, extending in all directions, becoming taller and taller, more and more robust, and more and more sky-covering.
Until it reaches every corner of the earth.
The Chaos Sea was turned upside down.
As Logo expanded, countless chaotic currents were disturbed, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating enormous ripples. These ripples spread far and wide, colliding and intertwining with other ripples, transforming into countless roaring, surging chaotic beasts. There were dragon-shaped serpents winding through the Void, tiger-shaped behemoths roaring and howling in the surging waves of air, and phoenix-shaped divine birds soaring through the chaotic storm—illusions naturally evolved from the disturbed chaotic energy, each exuding a terrifying aura capable of crushing stars.
The chaotic beasts pounced on Logo frantically, trying to tear apart his ever-expanding body. But whenever they touched Logo's skin, they were shattered by a thin layer of hazy gray light. The light was not dazzling, even somewhat dim, but it carried an unshakable calmness and weight, like an unbreakable barrier.
The Dao-Protecting Mystic Light inherent in the Eternity Chaos Saint Body.
That was the ultimate defensive ability that the Chaos Saint Body naturally awakened after breaking through to the Eternity level. Any power that tried to approach Logo, whether tangible or intangible, material or immaterial, spiritual or not, would be easily shattered, dissolved, and returned to nothingness by that layer of profound light. Those chaotic beasts, though seemingly ferocious, were as fragile as paper in front of the Dao-Protecting Mystic Light, shattering at the slightest touch and turning into countless chaotic particles scattered across the sky.
Logo's size reached its limit as he continued to expand.
His head had pierced into the upper reaches of the Chaos Sea, where the chaotic energy was thin and Berserk, filled with chaotic storms powerful enough to tear apart the laws of nature. His feet stood on the bottom layer of the Chaos Sea, where the chaotic energy was so dense it was almost liquid, heavy enough to crush any non- Eternity existence. He stood there in the Chaos Sea, like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, connecting the upper and lower layers of the Chaos Sea.
Right now--
The Spirit Saint Domain stirred.
As if sensing its master's call, the vast realm trembled with a gentle tremor, like a small beast finally welcoming its master's return, excitedly cheering and leaping for joy. Within the realm, countless beings simultaneously felt the tremor emanating from the depths of heaven and earth, all looking up at the sky. They saw the Heavenly Net covering the entire realm suddenly light up with golden light, and the entire realm seemed to be gently lifted by an invisible giant hand, slowly flying towards the incomparably majestic figure in the Chaos Sea.
Swallows return to their nests.
That's the most apt description imaginable.
The Spirit Saint Domain traced a long golden trail in the Chaos Sea, growing closer, smaller, and more solid, until finally, like a dazzling pearl, it merged into Logo's chest.
In that instant—
Logo felt his body suddenly sink.
It was as if an incredibly heavy iron armor had been draped over his body, weighing him down slightly on his shoulders. His steps became much heavier than before, each step requiring more effort, and he could no longer find that light and breezy feeling. But that heaviness was not uncomfortable; instead, it carried a reassuring weight, as if he were no longer a passerby walking through chaos, but a moving continent that carried the entire world.
He moved his hands and feet, feeling the heavy power within his body.
The feeling of the Spirit Saint Domain integrating into his body was incredibly wondrous. He could clearly perceive the subtle movements of every mountain, river, and living being within the realm, as if they were all part of his body. The Thirty-Three Heavens slowly rotated within him, the Samsara Disc of the Nether Realm Netherworld steadily operated at his heart, countless heavenly soldiers and generals patrolled and deployed within his meridians, and the golden veins of the Heavenly Net merged with his blood vessels, ceaselessly transmitting power and information.
He is from the Spirit Saint Domain.
The Spirit Saint Domain is him.
"Just as I suspected..." Logo murmured to himself, his voice echoing slowly in the Chaos Sea. "If I hadn't first elevated my physique to the level of the Eternity Chaos Saint Body, allowing my Matter System to reach Eternity ahead of time, I wouldn't have been able to support such a vast realm."
The Matter System, the Law System, and the World System —the three paths of cultivation—are perfectly integrated within his body. The Eternity Chaos Saint Body grants him a powerful physical body capable of bearing a realm, the Lord of the Law of Chaos grants him the ultimate authority to operate a realm, and the Spirit Saint Domain itself, as the core of his World System, is now finally completely united with his physical body.
"Now I'm essentially a fusion of three systems," Logo, narrowing his eyes slightly as he felt the wondrous resonance within him resulting from this three-in-one unity. "It's just that the World System hasn't yet reached the level required for me to advance to the Third-Step Eternity."
Third-Step Eternity.
That was the third step on the path to Eternal, and also the highest threshold. The first First-Step Eternity was "a glimpse into Immortal," the Second-Step Eternity was "returning to the Oneness of the Dao," and the Third-Step Eternity was "transcending boundaries"—a realm that all Eternal in the Chaos Sea dreamed of, yet very few could truly reach. Throughout the entire Chaos Sea, the Legend number of Eternal had reached the Third-Step Eternity was extremely limited, each one a supreme being capable of suppressing an entire era.
Logo's current Law System and Matter System have both reached the peak of the Second-Step Eternity, but his World System is still one step away. Although the Spirit Saint Domain has been integrated with him, the realm's own foundation still needs more accumulation and sedimentation to support him in taking that final step.
"But soon, a faint smile appeared on Logo's lips, 'I believe I am qualified.'"
He turned around and looked into the depths of the Chaos Sea.
In that direction, starlight twinkles, and countless realms stand side by side; it is the largest, strongest, and oldest gathering place in the Chaos Sea.
Astral Realm.
There, the Earth Mother Goddess is plotting a grand unification plan; the remnants of the Northern Spirit Empire and the Divine Realm live in constant fear; and countless realms, civilizations, and Eternal are engaged in open and covert struggles, forming alliances and counter-alliances. It is the center of the Chaos Sea, the source of all storms, and the ultimate goal that Logo has been planning for Endless years.
"It's time to go."
He lifted his foot and took a step toward the Astral Realm plane.
The vast Chaos Sea suddenly split open beneath his feet. Countless gray chaotic energies were pushed aside by an invisible force, surging and dissipating to both sides, revealing a deep and unfathomable passage. The passage led straight towards the Astral Realm plane, and all the chaotic storms, chaotic beasts, and chaotic vortexes along the way were crushed, dispersed, and cleared by an invisible force before Logo even passed through.
He strode forward, each step covering an infinite distance, leaving a massive, long-lasting footprint in the Chaos Sea.
His figure receded further and further into the deep passage, finally disappearing into the Endless darkness of the Chaos Sea.
The Spirit Saint Domain slumbered within his body, countless living beings rested peacefully in his meridians, the Eye of Truth flickered faintly in his pupils, and the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc slowly rotated at the location of his heart.
Everything was under his control.
And the Astral Realm awaits ahead.
