The Endless Nether Sea was immensely vast, and above it, there hung the phantom image of an even vaster Ocean of Law: torrents of divine power seawater descended endlessly, as if a torrential rainstorm were raging.
“It’s the Ocean of Law!”
“So much divine power descending!”
Within the palace complexes of the Milky Way Holy Land, the True Gods, Universe Masters, and the great multitude of Universe Venerables all gazed upward, utterly staggered by the sight of the phantom Ocean of Law.
Under the shroud of the boundless divine seawater stood a figure in a white robe. “The absorption speed is actually this fast…” Luo Feng murmured in astonishment as his divine body began to recover.
If the injury were severe, recovering from 90% to 100% of the divine body usually took a relatively short amount of time.
But if one had to recover from 50% to 100%, the required time would start increasing by tens of thousands, even millions of times! This was because losing divine body mass was akin to losing a portion of the soul, making recovery incredibly arduous. This explained why minor losses healed quickly—a slight depletion of divine body mass naturally recovered swiftly.
The volume of the Endless Nether Sea was already about 90% of its previous size, but because it was the heavy curse of divine power, Luo Feng’s soul had suffered no loss whatsoever! Consequently, his absorption speed was astonishingly rapid…
“I can feel like every bit of my divine power is crying out, swallowing ravenously,” Luo Feng exclaimed. “And normally, absorbing divine power from the ‘Ocean of Law’ is quite difficult, but now that I’m absorbing, the Ocean of Law directly projects a phantom image, seemingly welcoming it very willingly.”
Stepping into Undying, stepping into Venerable, stepping into Universe Master.
Whenever a threshold was crossed, the Ocean of Law would pour down divine power. Luo Feng’s current breakthrough was in the life level of the divine body. Even if the original will wished to help Luo Feng improve his divine body as quickly as possible, it had to adhere to ‘rules.’ Luo Feng had to actively absorb to summon the descent of that divine seawater.
Firstly, his soul was intact; secondly, the sheer volume of divine power—a hundred thousand times the norm—possessed astonishing absorption power; and thirdly, with the original will present, the rules permitted extreme cooperation.
In just over a year, the Endless Nether Sea expanded once more to a diameter of 12 light-years.
“I can’t expand any further…”
The white-robed Luo Feng stood on the surface of the Endless Nether Sea, and the phantom Ocean of Law in the high heavens finally dissipated.
“Reaching a 12 light-year diameter means I can no longer absorb divine power,” Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully. “Reaching the third level of the divine body—the so-called Size as Desired, Infinite Divine Body—perhaps even this Infinite Divine Body isn't truly infinite.”
One must remember that the reserves within the Ocean of Law of the Original Universe were finite.
How could it possibly be truly infinite?
A 12 light-year diameter was an insurmountable limit. Luo Feng glanced toward the distant palace complexes, where indeed many powerful beings were watching from afar. Clearly, the ‘phantom descent of the Ocean of Law’ lasting over a year, with divine seawater pouring down like a continuous storm, had deeply shaken those strong figures.
“Let’s begin!”
With a thought from Luo Feng, several figures materialized beside him one after another.
They were the Nether Sea Clone, the Demon Slayer Clone, the Golden Horned Beast Clone, and the Earthling True Body, all standing together.
“Condense!”
Luo Feng looked down at the vast Endless Nether Sea. “Boom!” With a single thought from Luo Feng, the Endless Nether Sea below surged towards Luo Feng’s Earthling True Body. The Earthling True Body resembled a bottomless pit, greedily swallowing all the divine seawater. In the blink of an eye, the once vast and mighty Endless Nether Sea vanished into thin air!
To be precise, a small lake remained; compared to the former Endless Nether Sea, this tiny lake was negligible.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned, looking at the small lake in the distant void.
“My Earthling True Body actually cannot contain the divine power of the entire Endless Nether Sea?” Luo Feng mused internally. “That small lake is equivalent to the storage capacity of my Earthling True Body’s divine body before. This means… the divine power held by my Earthling True Body is exactly the same as that of an Endless Nether Sea with a 12 light-year diameter—not a drop more, not a drop less.”
“Can’t be too greedy.”
The white-robed Luo Feng looked to his side as a dazzling golden light shimmered.
Immediately, the Earthling True Body, the Golden Horned Beast Clone, the Demon Slayer Clone, the small lake, and the Nether Sea Clone all entered the golden light.
“Into the God Kingdom.”
“The Milky Way Lord has returned to his God Kingdom. After absorbing so much divine power, he should be expanding his God Kingdom into a Small Universe…” The watching Void Gold True God, Fire Dome True God, and others watched with longing.
In the expansive God Kingdom, there were grasslands, oceans, and mountains… Luo Feng stood high in the sky, gazing upon his infinite domain. “My God Kingdom has long reached its limit.”
“Once it starts expanding, it will quickly evolve into a Small Universe. My divine power has also absorbed to its limit; I cannot absorb any more… So then… let’s begin.” Luo Feng stood in the sky, unable to suppress a surge of excitement. How could he not be excited? He had anticipated this day for trillions of epochs.
With a thought from Luo Feng, the vast God Kingdom immediately began to rumble and expand.
The original God Kingdom boundary wall swelled outward again.
This expansion instantly triggered a violent reaction.
“Boom!”
The entire God Kingdom shook, and a void channel directly connected to the inside of the God Kingdom. One end of this void channel, whose origin was unknown, furiously spewed forth endless streams of chaotic airflow. The dense chaotic airflow poured in, instantly tearing apart the earth and shattering the oceans; everything broke down, returning to chaos.
Fueled by the immense power of the chaotic airflow, the God Kingdom began to expand furiously.
“Boom!” As the God Kingdom expanded, another void channel formed, allowing even more chaotic airflow to surge in.
It was like a scene of world annihilation.
Luo Feng stood in the center of the God Kingdom, observing his surroundings. Void channels materialized one after another, pouring in endless chaotic airflow, causing chaotic whirlpools to form in various places within the God Kingdom. The God Kingdom continued to expand: while expanding, the God Kingdom itself was constantly moving. The God Kingdom resided within the ‘Space Crevice,’ and beyond the Space Crevice wall was the membrane wall of the Original Universe. Breaching that membrane led into the Universe Sea! During this process, the God Kingdom was relentlessly advancing—
It required a certain amount of time to transform the God Kingdom into a Small Universe.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
“It’s almost reaching one hundred million light-years.”
“A diameter of one hundred million light-years—this is the standard for both True Gods and their Small Universes,” Luo Feng stood amidst the endless chaotic airflow, sensing his God Kingdom with anticipation.
The diameter of a Void True God’s Small Universe ranged from one billion to ten billion light-years.
However, the initial size for all True Gods was uniformly one hundred million light-years.
Because at the moment of birth, all Small Universes were identical. Once expanded and formed, they immediately began structuring the interior. Only when breaking through to become a Void True God would the internal structure of the Small Universe and the True God’s strength influence the final size of that Small Universe.
“Bang!”
The entire God Kingdom shuddered violently.
The original God Kingdom barrier had transformed into a universe membrane, becoming a colossal celestial body with a diameter of one hundred million light-years. Following this, this one-hundred-million-light-year Small Universe continued to expand!
“It’s still getting bigger.” Luo Feng, already excited, was stunned. “All True Gods’ Small Universes are the same size. How is mine still growing?”
“Could it be related to my divine body?” Luo Feng couldn't help but wonder. Before, his breakthrough to the hundred-thousand-fold level caused the myriad races of the Original Universe to bow in homage—an utterly unbelievable scene.
And the expansion of the God Kingdom was most intrinsically linked to the divine body!
The path of divine power involved the divine body breaking through first, allowing the God Kingdom to expand slightly more. But those who followed the divine power route, whether 30,000-fold, 60,000-fold, or 90,000-fold, all had Small Universes with a diameter of one hundred million light-years.
Luo Feng, however, had shattered this norm. In the records of the Duan Dong River lineage and Jin’s World concerning ancient civilizations, no True God born with a hundred-thousand-fold life gene had ever appeared. This level was countless times harder and rarer than the ninety-thousand-fold. Under such circumstances, how could the hundred-thousand-fold life gene level be so unremarkable?
One must know that reaching thirty thousand-fold meant a tenfold surge in divine body magnitude; sixty thousand-fold meant a thousand-fold surge; ninety thousand-fold meant the Infinite Divine Body, Size as Desired. This hundred-thousand-fold level caused rules to descend and myriad races to offer congratulations—it would be a joke if there were no special anomalies.
It was just that Luo Feng was focused on becoming a True God at the time and hadn't studied it closely.
And now, his Small Universe exceeding the normal one-hundred-million-light-year diameter was one of the unique characteristics of the hundred-thousand-fold life gene level. The larger the diameter, the more exponentially the volume surged. This Small Universe expansion became progressively slower because it required exponentially more chaotic airflow: two hundred million light-years in diameter, three hundred million light-years—and so on…
Luo Feng was expanding his Small Universe, but the entire Original Universe and all races in the Universe Sea were anxiously awaiting the emergence of a new Small Universe. Yet, they waited and waited, receiving no news.
“What’s happening?” City Lord Chaos City Lord was also growing anxious. “Luo Feng told me before that he was starting to evolve his Small Universe. That evolution shouldn't take this long. It’s already half a year, why is there still no news?”
Opposite him was another white-robed man, the Primordial Master.
Luo Feng was clad in white robes.
The Primordial Master was also in white, but their temperaments differed. Luo Feng was like a long spear—resolute, sharp, and unstoppable! The Primordial Master, however, was gentler.
“I don’t know either,” the Primordial Master shook his head. “The Virtual Universe can only faintly sense that region. I confirm that Luo Feng’s God Kingdom is located there… but now that his God Kingdom is expanding and the Small Universe is beginning to generate its own origin power, I couldn’t intrude in the first place. Much less while it’s expanding, with the aid of the original will and spurred by the Supreme Rules… No one can influence him or contact him.”
During a breakthrough, absolute protection was enforced.
No one could interrupt the process.
The races of the Universe Sea grew anxious.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng was inside his Small Universe, sensing its continuous expansion. Finally, one day, the entire Small Universe abruptly ceased expanding; everything stabilized. Simultaneously, an irresistible, majestic force acted upon the Small Universe, causing it—which had already brushed against the membrane wall of the Original Universe—to be ejected like a glass marble.
Boom!
The entire Small Universe violently burst out of the Original Universe. Like a fish entering the sea or a bird entering the sky, this Small Universe finally entered the surging Universe Sea.
