How big was the universe?
How long was the River of Time and Space?
How spectacular was the Primordial World?
In the past, these questions were illusory to Fang Chen. Now, he was pursuing his martial dao dream step by step.
The person who had set out from the Ancient Sword Continent's Divine Wind Nation, blazing his way through all obstacles to finally reach the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm and become the leader of the Primal Chaos Realm, the ruler of a Primal Chaos Realm. However, Fang Chen wasn't happy. The martial path he pursued had yet to reach the pinnacle.
The Primordial World shattered and evolved into the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Dao. The Chaos Realm was only one of them, but this realm was too special. It was evolved from the core of the Primordial World and was called the Origin Realm.
The more he learned about these secrets, the heavier Fang Chen's heart became. It was not easy for him to destroy the Origin Realm, slaughter the Devouring Fiend Clan, and come into contact with the crisis of the Chaos Realm. However, the responsibility on his shoulders was now heavier. He did not know what he would become in the future.
Would he return home in glory or be buried in a nameless place?
Even though the future was dark, he had no regrets because he wanted to protect the pure land in his heart. That was his hometown and the place he cared about the most.
After arranging the matters in the Chaos Realm, Fang Chen left on a battleship.
In the vast World Gap, through the battleship's window, one could see terrifying black holes devouring some species at any time. They did not even have the chance to resist.
After an unknown period of time, Fang Chen finally saw a Hydra battleship across endless spacetime. They should also be interstellar pirates. However, before he could see it clearly, the huge battleship was swallowed by the black hole that suddenly appeared. Nothing was left.
This scene was extremely shocking. Fang Chen was unable to recover from his shock for a long time. Although he had seen the power of the black hole devouring everything with his own eyes, the scene in front of him was even more shocking.
He hurriedly turned around and looked at Ah Da. The latter was extremely calm. He explained to Fang Chen, "Master, don't worry. That Hydra battleship seems to be very close to us, but it's actually very far away. Even if we travel at full speed, we might not be able to reach it in a hundred years. Therefore, there's no need to worry about the devouring power of the black hole."
The World Gap was caused by the shattering of the Primordial World. The Three Thousand Realms of the Great Dao were within it. It was extremely vast and boundless. What one could see might not be what was in front of one's eyes.
"How long have we been traveling?" Fang Chen asked after he heaved a sigh of relief.
"We've been traveling for a hundred years," said Ah Da..
For a hundred years, they did not see any life-bearing planets. There was only a boundless gray space-time. Such days were torturous, but fortunately, Fang Chen was already used to it. He sat cross-legged in the battleship, cultivating as he traveled.
.............................................................
.....
. Ah Da seemed to have thought of a legend.
"Could it be that … Master wants to fuse the Five Elemental Origins into his Primordial Spirit?"
After the Primordial Spirit reached the Emperor Realm, it was infinitely close to the Immortal Realm. At this time, it was extremely difficult to improve the strength of the Primordial Spirit. However, there was no lack of adventurers in the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Dao. They experienced thousands of failures and finally came up with a very risky method.
The slightest bit of carelessness in this method would result in death. Furthermore, the success rate was extremely low. Only those extremely rare geniuses would have a chance of succeeding.
Therefore, this method was called a forbidden method. Very few people dared to use it.
A long time ago, as an interstellar bandit, Ah Da had only heard of it. He didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.
Buzz!
The process of fusing the Five Elemental Origins with the Emperor Realm Primordial Spirit seemed simple, but it was actually very dangerous. However, all of this was within Fang Chen's calculations. After years of cultivation, he had completely understood the characteristics of the Five Elemental Origins.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the Five Elemental Origins had completely fused with the Emperor Realm Primordial Spirit. At this time, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled above the battleship as if a Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend. However, this kind of weather only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Ah Da breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fang Chen in shock.
"Master, you …"
Fang Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. His hanging heart was relieved.
If his Primordial Spirit had been slightly lacking in the past, then now, it could be said that he had truly attained a higher level of mastery.
He was still a low-level Supreme Master in Martial Arts, but his cultivation of Soul Arts had reached the mid-level or even higher.
Buzz!
Fang Chen moved his mind. The terrifying power of Soul Arts spread out. Ah Da knelt on the ground with a plop. His whole body trembled and his heart was filled with fear. Was this the forbidden power?
Wasn't it too terrifying?
Whoosh!
After feeling the strength of his Primordial Spirit, Fang Chen withdrew his aura in time. The battleship returned to normal. Ah Da's body was still trembling. Fang Chen's face was full of smiles. He was very satisfied with this closed-door cultivation.
"No wonder so many people want to become the Lord of a Realm and merge with the Will of the Heavenly Way."
Fang Chen muttered to himself. He learned from the Great Sage that in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, there were many experts who specialized in hunting down Realm Lords in order to become the Lord of a Realm.
Now he finally understood that to become the Lord of a Realm, he could absorb the great fortune of this Realm and nurture his Primordial Spirit with the help of the Will of the Heavenly Way. This was also the reason why he could fuse the Five Elemental Origins with his Primordial Spirit so easily.
Come to think of it.
The Realm Lords of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path were not easy to deal with.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen gradually collected his thoughts. His expression also turned grave. He needed to hide his identity. He absolutely could not be discovered by others. Otherwise, he would end up attracting a fatal disaster.
Buzz!
At this moment, a blinding white light shot toward them. Fang Chen and Ah Da raised their heads and saw a planet of life in the distance. It was faintly discernible.
"That's … a planet of life!" Ah Da shouted excitedly.
After more than 130 years of sailing, the battleship's performance had decreased a lot. It urgently needed to go to a planet of life to replenish. This was great news.
"Do you know which Realm is in front of us?" Fang Chen asked.
Ah Da shook his head. He had come to the edge of the Chaotic Realm in a daze. He knew very little about the planets of life in the World Gap.
"Let's go. This is our first stop."
Before the remnant consciousness of the Black-robed Ancestor dissipated, he had given Fang Chen a mark. If he left the Chaotic Realm and went to the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, he could go to a Realm called the Nine Heavens to find a peerless expert.
According to Fang Chen's memories, the Black-robed Ancestor had said that the Nine Heavens Realm was not too far from the Chaotic Realm. He had been there before. As long as he was close to the Nine Heavens Realm, the mark would flash.
"I wonder if it's the Nine Heavens Realm," Fang Chen thought to himself.
Ah Da drove the battleship. After ten years, they finally arrived at the planet of life.
