"What? Is this... the Black Light Pagoda?"
"Why is the Black Light Pagoda here? Wasn't it at the bottom of the Illusory Spirit Abyss?"
"You can actually control the Black Light Pagoda? Could you have already refined it?"
"Only by completely passing the trials of the Black Light Pagoda can one refine it..."
In an instant, every chaos lifeform in the great hall was utterly shocked.
This was the Black Light Pagoda!
A single Black Light Pagoda possessed enough power to suppress every single chaos lifeform across the entire Hundred Flowers Domain.
That was not an exaggeration in the slightest.
None of them had expected that Lu Changsheng had already passed its trials and refined the pagoda for himself.
"Hahaha! Everyone, Saint Lu has passed the trials of the Black Light Pagoda, refined it, and become the foremost figure in our Hundred Flowers Domain! The reason I summoned you all today is that Saint Lu has already agreed to suppress Heaven Prison and slay those two Dark Domain lifeforms that have undergone a life leap!"
Only then did Saint Heavenly Light speak up to explain.
At once, the numerous chaos lifeforms in the hall grew ecstatic.
Slaying the two Dark Domain lifeforms within the Heaven Prison World was a tremendous blessing for them.
Though they were chaos lifeforms, they had been forced to remain bound to the Heaven Prison World to keep those two entities suppressed. Even though the chaos lifeforms took turns guarding them, no matter how they rotated, it was still a persistent duty that constantly drained their focus and energy. Over long periods, even their minds could not achieve true freedom.
And without a free and unburdened heart, how could one attempt a life leap?
Every life leap was a matter of life and death, requiring immense courage.
Even chaos lifeforms could not claim to possess such boldness lightly.
Otherwise, so many chaos lifeforms would not wait until their life spans drew to an end before finally attempting a life leap.
Yet those desperate, all-or-nothing attempts almost invariably ended in failure.
The two Dark Domain lifeforms in the Heaven Prison World had long been a towering obstacle weighing upon the hearts of every chaos lifeform in the Heavenly Light Holy Sect.
Previously, they had possessed no means to eradicate them once and for all.
Now, however, everything was different.
With Lu Changsheng willing to intervene, those two Dark Domain lifeforms would surely be dealt with completely.
"Splendid! Then we must thank Saint Lu!"
"Saint Lu, you have done us an immense favor."
"If those two Dark Domain lifeforms can truly be resolved, our Heavenly Light Holy Sect can finally rest completely easy..."
"All of this is thanks to Saint Lu."
The chaos lifeforms voiced their gratitude to Lu Changsheng one after another.
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "There is no need. After all, I am also a member of the Heavenly Light Holy Sect!"
At his words, the eyes of the gathered chaos lifeforms lit up.
Indeed, Lu Changsheng was also a member of the sect.
In truth, Lu Changsheng had no real obligation to trouble himself with the sect's affairs.
Having passed the trials of the Black Light Pagoda, he could have departed the Hundred Flowers Domain directly.
The Heavenly Light Holy Sect would have had no way to stop him.
However, cultivation could not involve deceiving one's own heart.
Lu Changsheng could not deceive himself.
He truly felt a sense of belonging toward the Heavenly Light Holy Sect.
The reason was simple: the sect had provided him with the opportunity to cultivate.
Among the three great factions of the Hundred Flowers Domain, only the Heavenly Light Holy Sect threw open its gates wide, teaching without discrimination.
As long as one possessed talent, one could enter the sect to cultivate.
Moreover, the merit point system maintained a relatively fair mechanism throughout the sect.
Here, anyone with talent was guaranteed a chance to rise.
There was never any shortage of cultivation techniques, resources, and the like.
One even had the backing of one of the topmost factions in the Hundred Flowers Domain.
It was precisely these various aids that had allowed Lu Changsheng to soar into the heavens within a mere ten thousand years and become a chaos lifeform.
Though Lu Changsheng was confident in his abilities and knew he would eventually have become a chaos lifeform even without joining the Heavenly Light Holy Sect, it would likely have cost him an unimaginable amount of time and forced him along countless detours.
Toward such a sect, how could Lu Changsheng not feel a sense of belonging?
He had long since considered himself a part of the Heavenly Light Holy Sect.
Saint Heavenly Light naturally understood the meaning behind his words.
The smile on his face broadened even further.
Now that Lu Changsheng had taken the initiative to state that he was a member of the Heavenly Light Holy Sect, Saint Heavenly Light's heart was truly at ease.
"Saint Lu, since you have only just achieved the state of a chaos lifeform, would you like to learn more about those two Dark Domain lifeforms first?" Saint Heavenly Light asked.
"Then I shall trouble you, Saint Heavenly Light..."
Thus, Saint Heavenly Light explained detailed information regarding the two Dark Domain lifeforms.
Lu Changsheng listened attentively.
"Saint Heavenly Light, you said those two Dark Domain lifeforms have each undergone one life leap, and their strength is roughly on par with yours?"
"Yes, our strength is indeed evenly matched. Back then, we only managed to suppress them by relying on our home territory advantage and outnumbering them with chaos lifeforms. If it were truly a one-on-one battle, even I could not defeat them, let alone slay them."
Saint Heavenly Light frankly admitted his own limitations.
However, Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
"Since their strength is comparable to yours, Saint Heavenly Light, I would like to test myself..."
Lu Changsheng looked directly at Saint Heavenly Light.
His meaning could not have been clearer: he wished to spar with him.
"Very well."
"It just so happens that I also wish to see the might of the Black Light Pagoda."
Saint Heavenly Light agreed.
He understood the logic.
If Lu Changsheng could pose a fatal threat to him by wielding the Black Light Pagoda, then he could naturally kill those two Dark Domain lifeforms as well.
"Let us go to chaos. If we fight within the Heavenly Light Holy Sect, even with the grand array's protection, it would likely cause immense destruction."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
With that, the group of chaos lifeforms left the Heavenly Light Holy Sect directly and arrived in the expanse of chaos.
Chaos was vast and boundless.
Even a battle between source lifeforms could not damage chaos, let alone a clash between chaos lifeforms.
Lu Changsheng and the others traveled a considerable distance from the Heavenly Light Holy Sect before finally coming to a halt.
"Saint Heavenly Light, pardon my offense."
Having spoken, the flesh particles throughout Lu Changsheng's entire body began to radiate faint, crystalline light.
A terrifying physical presence erupted in an instant.
"Hmm?"
"Saint Lu wishes to test his own baseline strength first?"
Seeing that Lu Changsheng did not immediately deploy the Black Light Pagoda, Saint Heavenly Light understood his thoughts at once.
After all, Lu Changsheng had only just become a chaos lifeform.
It was only natural to want to get a feel for his new power.
Saint Heavenly Light was naturally happy to oblige.
Facing an expert who had completed one life leap, Lu Changsheng naturally dared not hold back in the slightest.
His opponent had undergone a life leap, far surpassing primary chaos lifeforms.
Generally speaking, out of ten chaos lifeforms, perhaps only one could successfully leap in life essence.
This showed that even a single life leap was extraordinarily difficult.
And once a life leap was achieved, it brought a qualitative transformation.
Saint Heavenly Light simply stood with his hands clasped behind his back, waiting quietly in the void.
He did not intend to strike back.
Lu Changsheng had only just become a chaos lifeform and had not undergone any life leaps. Even if Saint Heavenly Light stood completely still, Lu Changsheng should not be able to harm him.
After all, having undergone a life leap versus not having done so were two entirely different realms.
*Hum.*
Lu Changsheng did not hold back.
The hundreds of millions of flesh particles throughout his body beamed with crystalline radiance as a terrifying force began to coalesce.
*Boom!*
Lu Changsheng threw a punch.
This single strike seemed to shake the chaotic void itself.
Hundreds of millions of flesh particles erupted at once.
Thanks to the Myriad Origins Fundamental Art, each of Lu Changsheng's flesh particles was akin to an entire world.
The foundation granted by the Myriad Origins Fundamental Art was already a hundred, or even a thousand times stronger than peers of the same level.
Furthermore, that foundation continued to accumulate endlessly.
The further he progressed, the more terrifying it became.
Moreover, the path Lu Changsheng had chosen to metamorphose into a chaos lifeform was to transform every single flesh particle individually.
Such a metamorphosis caused his strength upon becoming a chaos lifeform to surge exponentially.
Saint Heavenly Light, who had initially been casual and determined not to strike back—content to simply let Lu Changsheng hit him—experienced an abrupt change of expression the moment he sensed this terrifying force.
From this single punch, an acute sense of lethal danger welled up within him.
If he truly stood still and took it, it would be exceptionally dangerous.
His physical body might not be able to withstand this punch from Lu Changsheng.
Yet how could that be possible?
He was no primary chaos lifeform.
Saint Heavenly Light was a powerhouse who had undergone one life leap.
Having performed a life leap atop his original foundation as a chaos lifeform, his physical body was extraordinarily terrifying.
How could a primary chaos lifeform possibly threaten his flesh?
Yet his instincts could not be mistaken.
If he stood still and took this blow, he might truly be endangered.
At this thought, Saint Heavenly Light threw all concern for face out the window.
He immediately mobilized all the physical might within his flesh and similarly thrust out a fist.
*Bang!*
The forces unleashed by the two collided in the void, producing a dull, thunderous detonation.
A terrifying shockwave rippled out in all directions with overwhelming momentum.
Even the chaos lifeforms watching from the perimeter were forced to retreat a further distance.
Yet after this clash, the two stood evenly matched.
Lu Changsheng did not show the slightest sign of being at a disadvantage.
"Hahaha! Again!"
Instead, Lu Changsheng felt an exhilarating rush.
Channeling the flesh particles within his body, his power felt virtually inexhaustible as he hurled punch after punch madly toward Saint Heavenly Light.
Blow after blow.
In the blink of an eye, the two had traded countless strikes.
Moreover, one could clearly see that as the clash progressed, it was Saint Heavenly Light who began to show signs of strain.
He was actually falling into a slight disadvantage.
Yet how could this be possible?
How could Lu Changsheng, who had not undergone a life leap, suppress Saint Heavenly Light, who had already completed one?
"Is... is this real? Saint Lu is actually pressing Saint Heavenly Light back?"
"Saint Heavenly Light doesn't seem to be holding back; he's going all out. Under normal circumstances, a chaos lifeform that has completed one life leap could hold their ground against ten chaos lifeforms. For a primary chaos lifeform to defeat one who has undergone a life leap is simply too difficult—at least, no such expert has ever appeared in our Hundred Flowers Domain."
"No wonder Saint Lu could pass the trials of the Black Light Pagoda. He truly is extraordinary."
"If this continues, Saint Heavenly Light might truly be defeated."
"To think that even without using the Black Light Pagoda, Saint Lu's strength is already the greatest in the Heavenly Light Holy Sect—perhaps even the greatest in the entire Hundred Flowers Domain!"
For a moment, the expressions of the surrounding chaos lifeforms grew immensely complex.
Most were filled with deep marvel and envy.
Compared to Lu Changsheng, they—chaos lifeforms held in reverence by countless cultivators—simply seemed insignificant.
"Hold!"
"Saint Lu, your strength has already reached the level of a once-leaped lifeform..."
Saint Heavenly Light spoke up of his own accord, looking at Lu Changsheng with complex emotion.
He had known that Lu Changsheng was likely very strong, superior to ordinary primary chaos lifeforms.
After all, anyone capable of passing the Black Light Pagoda's trials was bound to be extraordinary.
Yet Saint Heavenly Light had never imagined that Lu Changsheng could be strong to such an extent!
To be comparable to a lifeform that had undergone a life leap!
This was simply incredible.
Yet it was an undeniable fact.
Such a person stood right before his eyes.
Lu Changsheng brought his strikes to a halt as well.
In truth, he had gone all out just now.
Metamorphosing into a chaos lifeform via the Myriad Origins Fundamental Art truly granted immense strength.
He was indeed comparable to one who had completed a life leap.
This was equivalent to a cultivator walking the Tiers to Godhood defying the natural order to slay a chaos lifeform.
However, Lu Changsheng had also tested his limits.
Even if he spent a bit more time and could defeat Saint Heavenly Light, relying solely on his own baseline strength to slay a once-leaped chaos lifeform like him was completely impossible.
Defeating an opponent was easy; slaying them was difficult.
He still had to rely on the Black Light Pagoda.
"Saint Heavenly Light, next I shall test the Black Light Pagoda."
Saint Heavenly Light nodded, his expression turning solemn.
*Hum.*
Lu Changsheng extended his hand.
A black pagoda appeared in his palm.
"Go."
With a wave of Lu Changsheng's hand, the Black Light Pagoda expanded instantly.
In the blink of an eye, it towered tens of thousands of zhang high, spanning the expanse of chaos.
*Boom!*
The next instant, the Black Light Pagoda descended to suppress Saint Heavenly Light.
Saint Heavenly Light dared not be careless in the slightest, throwing a full-powered punch toward the Black Light Pagoda.
Yet it had no effect whatsoever.
His punch was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; the Black Light Pagoda did not budge in the least and continued its downward descent.
Finally, the Black Light Pagoda pressed down, landing squarely upon Saint Heavenly Light's physical body.
*Sizzle.*
Instantly, Saint Heavenly Light's flesh began to annihilate.
Yes, absolute annihilation.
The Black Light Pagoda was directly annihilating Saint Heavenly Light's flesh, and he had no power to resist whatsoever.
Seeing this, Saint Heavenly Light recognized the terrifying nature of the Black Light Pagoda.
Forget one life leap—even if an expert of two life leaps were suppressed by the Black Light Pagoda, they would perish!
It truly was a Dao-protecting treasure.
Extraordinary indeed.
"Saint Lu, retract the Black Light Pagoda! There is no question that this pagoda can slay those two Dark Domain lifeforms!" Saint Heavenly Light shouted in haste.
He did not want the Black Light Pagoda to continue suppressing him.
If more of his flesh were annihilated, restoring it would be no easy matter.
"Very well."
Lu Changsheng recalled the Black Light Pagoda at once.
He now understood clearly that this Dao-protecting treasure was fully capable of slaying a chaos lifeform that had undergone one life leap.
In fact, far more than just one.
Even lifeforms of two or three life leaps might not be able to endure it.
With the Black Light Pagoda in hand, vast as chaos was, Lu Changsheng could roam it to his heart's content.
"Saint Heavenly Light, without further ado, let us proceed to the Heaven Prison World now."
Lu Changsheng wished to eliminate the hidden threat of the Heaven Prison World as soon as possible.
He still had many affairs to arrange and did not want to waste too much time.
"Good, let us go now."
Saint Heavenly Light agreed with a nod.
To ensure absolute certainty, only three saints were left behind this time, while the remaining chaos lifeforms set out together toward the Heaven Prison World.
"Everyone, please enter my Black Light Pagoda," Lu Changsheng said.
By entering the Black Light Pagoda, they could traverse instantly to any location within the Hundred Flowers Domain.
"Alright."
The crowd trusted Lu Changsheng deeply and entered the Black Light Pagoda one after another.
"Let us depart."
Lu Changsheng activated the Black Light Pagoda.
A faint glimmer of dim light flickered from the pagoda, and in the next instant, they had already arrived at the Heaven Prison World.
"What? It really is the Heaven Prison World?"
"Traversing to the Heaven Prison World in a single instant... this Black Light Pagoda is too formidable."
"To be able to traverse at will anywhere within the scope of the Hundred Flowers Domain is truly incredible."
"It is said that all daughter pagodas of the Black Light Pagoda are like this, capable of encompassing the entire span of a domain."
"It truly is the treasure of that great being..."
The chaos lifeforms were deeply awed.
However, serious business came first.
Looking at the Heaven Prison World before them, Saint Heavenly Light said in a heavy voice, "When the Heaven Prison World cracked last time, ordinary Dark Domain lifeforms were essentially slaughtered to the last. Only those two chaos lifeforms that have undergone one life leap remain suppressed within the depths of the Heaven Prison World."
Lu Changsheng asked, "Last time I was in the Heaven Prison World with Fellow Daoist Liu Qing, neither of us seemed to sense any such terrifying presence."
"Last time, you were merely cultivators walking the Tiers to Godhood, so naturally you could not sense them. Those two Dark Domain lifeforms are trapped at the very bottom of the Heaven Prison World."
Saint Heavenly Light formed a series of intricate hand seals.
*Rumble!*
Instantly, the entire Heaven Prison World trembled violently.
Two terrifying auras faintly surged toward the sky.
"Old ghost Heavenly Light, you've finally seen fit to loosen the seal and let us out! Do you have absolute certainty that you can kill us now?"
A shrill, piercing voice echoed across the Heaven Prison World.
Immediately after, Lu Changsheng saw the earth crack open as if struck by a massive earthquake.
Two towering figures suddenly burst forth from beneath the ground.
These two figures were terrifying to behold, their bodies a dark, blood-like red and standing tens of thousands of zhang tall.
Their forms seemed covered in countless eyes, yet strangely bore a humanoid shape.
It was an utterly bizarre sight.
"Those are the Dark Domain lifeforms, and both are chaos lifeforms that have undergone one life leap!" Saint Heavenly Light said gravely.
The gazes of the two Dark Domain lifeforms swept across Saint Heavenly Light and the others one by one.
"Still you old ghosts! Thinking to suppress and slay us? Impossible!"
"Hmm? A new chaos lifeform has joined you, but he hasn't even completed a single life leap. Useless."
"Since you have unsealed us this time, if you want to seal us again, you will pay a terrible price!"
The two Dark Domain lifeforms spoke with intense murderous intent.
They saw through the depths of everyone almost at a single glance.
After all, Saint Heavenly Light and the other chaos lifeforms were old acquaintances whom they had seen many times before.
The only unfamiliar face was Lu Changsheng.
Yet the aura radiating from Lu Changsheng merely indicated that he had just attained the realm of a chaos lifeform, devoid of the presence of any life leap.
As long as one had not undergone a life leap, the two Dark Domain lifeforms did not hold them in any regard.
"Heh."
Saint Heavenly Light did not bother trading insults with them.
He turned his gaze toward Lu Changsheng.
"Saint Lu, I leave it to you."
Lu Changsheng nodded. "Leave it to me."
Seeing this exchange, the two Dark Domain lifeforms felt a twinge of surprise, but they quickly sensed that something was amiss.
Who was Saint Heavenly Light?
They knew full well.
He was a chaos lifeform who had undergone one life leap, the very founder of the Heavenly Light Holy Sect, an ancestor-level figure standing at the apex of the Hundred Flowers Domain.
Why would such a figure act with so much deference toward someone who had only just become a chaos lifeform?
There was something wrong.
There was definitely something wrong here!
Soon, they learned what was wrong.
Unfortunately, they no longer had any chance.
*Hum.*
The next moment, a beam of dim light shot forth abruptly from between Lu Changsheng's brows.
The dim light instantly transformed into a pagoda radiating dark, lustrous brilliance.
The pagoda emitted an aura that made the soul tremble.
"This is... the Black Light Pagoda!"
These two Dark Domain lifeforms were remarkably knowledgeable—they actually recognized the Black Light Pagoda.
And precisely because they recognized it, their expressions turned to pure horror in an instant.
They knew all too well what the Black Light Pagoda represented.
Even as a daughter pagoda, it could easily suppress and obliterate once-leaped chaos lifeforms like them.
"You passed the preliminary trial of the Black Light Pagoda?"
The two Dark Domain lifeforms found it hard to believe.
How could a remote domain like the Hundred Flowers Domain give birth to such a monstrous genius?
Lu Changsheng offered no reply.
With a single thought, the Black Light Pagoda bore down upon the two Dark Domain lifeforms.
*Rumble!*
As the Black Light Pagoda pressed down, the two Dark Domain lifeforms began to struggle desperately.
Even knowing they were outmatched, they had to fight for their lives.
Both Dark Domain lifeforms swelled into towering giants of ten thousand zhang.
The dark-red light blanketing their bodies spread to envelop nearly the entire Heaven Prison World.
This dark-red light seemed unlike any power Lu Changsheng had ever encountered before.
It was a power unique to the Dark Domain.
The Dark Domain and chaos were two sides of the same coin, powers existing on the exact same cosmic tier.
Yet while the Dark Domain's power was formidable, the Black Light Pagoda was even more so.
Like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, the Black Light Pagoda effortlessly shattered the dark-red light and crashed down with tremendous force.
"Ahhh!"
The two Dark Domain lifeforms let out agonizing shrieks.
In an instant, their physical bodies were ground into dust.
Moreover, they were pulverized completely at the level of their flesh particles.
There was no possibility of recovery whatsoever.
From the moment the attack began to its conclusion, less than three breaths had elapsed.
The two Dark Domain lifeforms were dead.
At this moment, the entire Heaven Prison World fell deathly silent.
Witnessing the fate of those two Dark Domain lifeforms, everyone looked at each other in stunned silence.
Earlier, they had watched Lu Changsheng spar with Saint Heavenly Light.
Back then, though the Black Light Pagoda had been powerful, it hadn't seemed quite this terrifying.
Only now did they understand.
Lu Changsheng had held back.
Had he truly driven the Black Light Pagoda with all his might, Saint Heavenly Light would certainly have been unable to withstand it and would have suffered the exact same fate as these two Dark Domain lifeforms.
"These two Dark Domain lifeforms are finally dead."
"Saint Lu, you have done us an immense service."
"Hahaha! From now on, we can freely travel to foreign domains to roam and seek opportunities!"
The chaos lifeforms broke into joyful laughter.
Regardless of anything else, the problem of the Dark Domain lifeforms was resolved, and they would no longer be bound to the Heaven Prison World from this day forth.
They could now arrange their cultivation as they pleased.
In every sense, Lu Changsheng had indeed done them a tremendous favor.
Afterward, everyone returned to the Heavenly Light Holy Sect.
"Saint Heavenly Light, I have a few matters to attend to. Once I have settled them, I will depart the Hundred Flowers Domain directly to undergo the ultimate trial in the Black Light Realm," Lu Changsheng said to Saint Heavenly Light.
Saint Heavenly Light's expression was conflicted.
In his heart of hearts, he naturally wished Lu Changsheng would stay.
If Lu Changsheng remained, he would surely grow to undergo a second life leap, or even a third.
That would be enough to dominate the entire Hundred Flowers Domain.
However, Saint Heavenly Light also knew that Lu Changsheng was a flood dragon, whereas the Hundred Flowers Domain was merely a small pond.
How could a pond hold a flood dragon?
It was impossible.
Lu Changsheng's goal was bound to be a source lifeform.
And remaining in the Hundred Flowers Domain would make becoming a source lifeform an utter impossibility.
"Go, Saint Lu. No matter what you encounter out there, you may always return to the Heavenly Light Holy Sect. This will forever be your sect!" Saint Heavenly Light said with solemn sincerity.
"I will certainly remember that."
Lu Changsheng smiled.
Then, turning into a streak of flowing light, he returned to his cave dwelling.
Once inside, Lu Changsheng asked Zisang, "Zisang, what was that dark-red light on those two Dark Domain lifeforms?"
He had sensed that something was peculiar about that dark-red light.
"It should be the origin power of the Dark Domain. Of course, merely a minuscule trace of it."
"When emerging from the Dark Domain, they must carry a sliver of origin power; otherwise, they would be unable to resist the rules of chaos and could never enter chaos in the first place," Zisang replied.
Lu Changsheng's eyes brightened.
"Dark Domain origin power?"
With a thought, Lu Changsheng drew upon a trace of dark-red light still contained within the Black Light Pagoda.
He had collected it into the pagoda earlier.
"Refine."
Lu Changsheng utilized the Black Light Pagoda to continuously extract the origin power from the dark-red light.
As time passed, a large amount of the dark-red radiance was refined away, leaving behind only two wisps of dark-red light in the end.
That was pure Dark Domain origin power.
"Master, what are you extracting Dark Domain origin power for?" Zisang could not help but ask.
Under normal circumstances, chaos lifeforms could not utilize the origin power of the Dark Domain.
It was useless to them.
Their physical bodies could not refine it.
Even if they forced the issue, it would only tear their bodies apart.
After all, Dark Domain origin power was fundamentally different from chaos origin power.
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly. "Can Dark Domain origin power be absorbed by a World Master to perfect their world? Is that true?"
Zisang was somewhat astonished. "That is indeed true. A World Master encompasses all things. Whether it is chaos origin power or Dark Domain origin power, both can promote the perfection of their world. There are even World Masters who specifically hunt down Dark Domain origin power to perfect their domains. It seems that once Dark Domain origin power combines with chaos origin power, it induces an earth-shattering transformation within a World Master's world."
"However, that applies to World Masters. Master, you are a chaos lifeform; this Dark Domain origin power is of no use to you."
Zisang was thoroughly puzzled.
"Is that so?"
"Can a chaos lifeform not also be a World Master?"
With a shift of Lu Changsheng's intent, *boom*—the Illusory Realm descended.
As the Illusory Realm manifested, it enveloped the two wisps of dark-red energy in an instant.
That was the Dark Domain origin power.
The moment Lu Changsheng's Illusory Realm came into contact with the Dark Domain origin power, it immediately exerted a terrifying pull of attraction.
It was as if the Illusory Realm itself hungered voraciously for those two wisps of Dark Domain origin power.
"Refine!"
Decisive as ever, Lu Changsheng immediately began refining the two wisps of Dark Domain origin power.
The result came without the slightest hitch.
Lu Changsheng's Illusory Realm refined the two wisps of Dark Domain origin power with effortless ease.
It was as natural as water flowing into an established channel.
Indeed, pure, effortless flow.
Lu Changsheng clearly sensed a subtle change stirring within the Illusory Realm.
Regrettably, the quantity was simply too small.
Just as the Illusory Realm began to shift ever so slightly, the energy ran dry.
Lu Changsheng promptly summoned his attribute panel.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: Top-tier comprehension
World Master: 0 (Embryonic)
Chaos Lifeform: 1% (Initial stage)
On the attribute panel, the progress for World Master remained at zero.
In truth, this already explained everything.
The origin power had simply not been enough.
He would need far more to sustain a true metamorphosis of his Illusory Realm.
