Breakthrough to World Master!

Breakthrough to World Master! Among special lifeforms, the One-Horned Ghost King's gene multiplier was fairly ordinary, but its abilities were utterly heaven-defying. Disguise! It could mimic any creature it had ever seen, including its soul aura. Unless a Venerable or stronger expert carefully probed and discovered the special Primal Core hidden within its body, it would basically never be detected. This was simply the ultimate technique for killing and plundering. On the Extra-Domain Battlefield, where Venerables were not allowed to act, Lu Qingshan could use this ability to disguise himself as any race... Time acceleration needed no elaboration. During battle, suddenly altering the flow of time around an opponent could affect their movements. In a life-or-death struggle, even the slightest effect could decide victory or defeat. It could also be applied to himself, allowing his speed to instantly surpass light speed... Combined with the Thunderlight Flash secret method, almost no one could stop him from leaving the battlefield. The ultimate move needed no further mention... Against anything below Undying, it could annihilate almost instantly—and not the kind that could be undone by resurrection... It was simply the best technique for hunting down geniuses of all races. Lu Qingshan even suspected that the One-Horned Ghost King had been wiped out because its abilities were too heaven-defying, causing it to be secretly targeted by every race... And because its race had no top-tier powerhouse, it had vanished from the Primal Universe. With his Inherited Memory, Lu Qingshan knew that during the One-Horned Ghost King's peak, the strongest within its race had been merely a Universe Hegemon. However, using that ultimate move came with a huge drain and could not be done frequently. It could only be used about once every hundred years; otherwise, even he would struggle to bear the cost. Even so, it was still utterly heaven-defying! “It's time to break through to the World Master realm!” The moment the One-Horned Ghost King avatar was birthed, it brought immeasurable benefits to Lu Qingshan's soul. In that instant, Lu Qingshan felt that his soul had undergone a qualitative transformation. This meant that there were no longer any obstacles to the World Master realm for him. Power exertion: ninety-three times. Soul transformation: complete. Recognition by the Lightning Origin Law: 17%! Time Origin Law: 2.3%. Never mind Domain Masters at the same level—even World Masters one level above him rarely possessed accumulation like his. If he still could not break through to World Master with this, then even heaven and earth would find it intolerable. “I heard that the stronger one is, the larger the inner world opened for the first time will be.” “For ordinary human World Masters, when they first break through, their inner world is ten thousand kilometers in diameter. I wonder how large mine will be...” Lu Qingshan no longer delayed. He immediately connected with the Life Core in his body and began frantically absorbing the scattered gray mist around him. Then Lu Qingshan produced enough Universe Crystals to fill an entire house. The world power within the Universe Crystals was slowly absorbed by his Life Core, and the Life Core, originally grayish-brown, now shone with golden light. At that moment, a strand of world power no thicker than a thumb emerged from the Life Core. In an instant, it seemed to form a bridge connecting him to heaven and earth. Lu Qingshan's consciousness slowly rose along this passage, as if ascending through boundless vastness, until it entered an ancient and mysterious place. “Could this be the universe's most mysterious Origin Land?” The Primal Universe had birthed countless lives. Vast, boundless, ancient, and mysterious, the origin of all of it lay in the Origin Land. Any life born from the Primal Universe was favored by the Primal Universe. When breaking through to World Master, they could connect to this Origin Land and receive a one-time, enormous gift. With his consciousness, Lu Qingshan could only observe a small patch of land around him. Here, Universe Crystals covered the ground, endless and boundless. A mountain, a stone, even a single leaf was a world filled with Universe Crystals. A single flower, a world; a single leaf, enlightenment. The Origin Land of the Primal Universe gave one a sense of youthful abundance. “It begins!!” Once Lu Qingshan's consciousness touched the Primal Universe's Origin Land, it signified that he had gained the Primal Universe's approval, and the gift followed. Endless world power surged forth from the Origin Land. The originally illusory space around Lu Qingshan's Life Core began to become real... one kilometer, two kilometers, ten kilometers, one hundred kilometers... The world continued to expand, and the Life Core in Lu Qingshan's body also underwent earth-shattering changes under the baptism of world power. The larger the world and the stronger the world power it bore, the more solid Lu Qingshan's Life Core became. To a certain extent, the size of the world represented a World Master's strength... The pressure released by a massive world projection could render Domain Masters unable to move. Of course, the larger the inner world, the more solid the Life Core. Breaking the Life Core to advance to Undying would also become more difficult. This was a choice... But for Lu Qingshan, this was never a choice at all! What he needed most now was strength. How solid could a World Master's Life Core be? With Lu Qingshan's constantly improving comprehension and his understanding of the Time Origin Law, creating his own secret method during the World Master stage was simple. It was merely an ordinary human's Life Core—how could it stop him from advancing? “One thousand kilometers... ten thousand kilometers...” The inner world kept rising, reaching the average size for an ordinary human World Master's breakthrough. Yet it still showed no sign of stopping. “Twenty thousand kilometers...” “Thirty thousand kilometers!” ... “Ninety thousand kilometers...” Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the heavy pressure on his soul. A continent with a diameter of ninety thousand kilometers was probably the current limit of what he could create. But... An ocean! Lu Qingshan let out a muffled shout, and the remaining world power transformed into a boundless ocean that enveloped the entire continent, making the continent seem like an isolated island. The initial form of the inner world had taken shape. Lu Qingshan's consciousness returned, and he began adjusting the layout of his inner world. One continent was fine; there was no need to change it... But this continent was bare and utterly lacked aesthetic appeal. “Mountains and valleys!” At his word, mountain after mountain slowly rose from the land, the tallest reaching over ten thousand meters. In contrast, low valleys and plains also formed in the same way. “Rivers!” The earth split open, and rivers of varying lengths and sizes appeared one after another. They crisscrossed and wove through one another, or ran parallel, all eventually flowing into the boundless ocean. “Lakes.” At certain points along the rivers, lakes appeared. The largest seemed like a vast sea. “Life...” This was the most important part... A World Master's inner world was capable of giving birth to life. At the core of the world, the massive Universe Crystal mountain emitted majestic world power. A moment later, green trees covered the mountain... flowers and green grass covered the ground... and signs of fish moving appeared in the water! This was what a world should look like! A faint smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face. His gaze fixed on a valley—the sea of flowers he had specially built. If his wife, Catherine, were still alive, she probably would have built a house amid that sea of flowers and would have been unwilling to leave. Lu Qingshan was not the type of person who valued emotions highly, but his wife held special significance for him, making her difficult to forget. It was his wife's ten thousand years of companionship that had thawed his frozen heart and allowed him to emerge from the gloom. His wife had passed away when her lifespan was exhausted, beyond even a Universe Lord's ability to resurrect. Perhaps in the future... a faint glimmer of hope had arisen in Lu Qingshan's heart.
