"That's easy enough," Han Jue said with a casual smile after hearing Hong's predicament.
"Simple? You're planning to break through to Domain Lord level, aren't you?" Luo Feng reminded him, his concern evident. "Han Jue, won't breaking through so quickly be problematic?"
"No problem at all. I've already claimed every opportunity I deserved at the Universe level," Han Jue replied dismissively. "You can handle Demon Mountain yourself. I've already conquered the Universe-level Primal Tongtian Mountain anyway, so I was planning to advance to Domain Lord next. This is actually perfect timing, I can resolve Brother Hong's situation while seeing if I can get you two accepted into the core of the five great powers."
His gaze shifted between Hong and Lei Shen with obvious calculation.
"Universe-level Primal Tongtian Mountain?" Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock.
He understood perfectly how difficult that achievement was. Even veteran Domain Lord-level members of the Primal Secret Realm would struggle to conquer the Universe-level Primal Tongtian Mountain. The fact that Han Jue had done it meant his law comprehension had reached truly terrifying heights.
"Brother Hong, that woman you're interested in, Ji Qing, she's a core member of the Universe Mercenary Alliance!" Han Jue announced with barely contained amusement.
"What?!" Hong's pupils contracted sharply, and he was about to speak when Han Jue raised a hand to cut him off.
"Don't worry. I'll help you," Han Jue reassured him with quiet confidence.
Earth had already been exposed to the wider universe, so what was there to fear anymore? By helping Hong and Lei Shen reveal their exceptional talents earlier than they might have naturally, Earth would actually receive even more resources and support from humanity's great powers. The potential benefits far outweighed any risks.
"Junior Brother, so you've decided to break through to Domain Lord level?"
In the Ice and Snow Temple's crystalline hall, Venerable Lianyi regarded Han Jue with obvious interest, her aqua-blue hair catching the ethereal light.
"Yes. There's no point lingering at Universe level any longer. My teacher already advised me to advance soon anyway," Han Jue confirmed with a respectful nod.
"Your passage through the Primal Tongtian Mountain caused quite a stir throughout the Virtual Universe Company," Venerable Lianyi observed, her tone carrying a note of pride mixed with concern. "When you return to Ganwu Universe Country, alien assassins will almost certainly target you. Are you confident you can handle them?"
"Don't I still have you, Senior Sister?" Han Jue replied with a disarming smile.
The alien forces didn't know about Venerable Lianyi's presence on Earth, which gave him a significant hidden advantage. Besides, he wouldn't remain at Domain Lord level for long, at most, he'd complete the highest-scoring missions available at that tier before embarking on the World Master breakthrough.
As long as no peak-level King assassins appeared, Han Jue believed he could survive anything thrown at him.
Venerable Lianyi rolled her eyes at his casual attitude, though her lips quirked with faint amusement.
"I can't be with you every moment. My clone is supposed to be stationed on Earth, and I recently entered a secret cosmic realm that requires my attention for the foreseeable future," she explained patiently. "I won't be able to return immediately if something happens."
"A secret cosmic realm?" Han Jue asked with genuine curiosity. "Is it the same realm those two brothers entered?"
"Yes. Venerable Nine Swords and that Kandeli both went in as well, and they haven't emerged in an extremely long time," Venerable Lianyi said, her expression growing more serious. "I'm worried something might have happened to them. Lan Song and the others don't have clones, so I need to investigate personally. That secret realm is extraordinarily dangerous, even for Universe Overlords."
She paused, then added, "By the way, the precious soul defense artifact I prepared for you is with my clone. When you return to Earth, retrieve it from her."
"Alien assassinations..." Venerable Lianyi snorted with barely concealed contempt. "Hmph!"
In the original universe, humans and Zerg maintained the deepest mutual hostility. That assassination attempt against Han Jue had most likely been orchestrated by the Zerg Mother Nest! Of course, the Demon Race and Machine Race couldn't be ruled out either. The Venerable Yujiao who'd appeared during the incident was a Demon, after all.
"Go ahead and make your breakthrough," Venerable Lianyi said, her tone shifting back to encouragement. "Advance to World Master level as quickly as possible. The World Master stage is where cultivation truly begins in earnest. Everything before that is merely laying the foundation."
"Yes, Senior Sister!" Han Jue bowed respectfully before departing.
Breaking through to Domain Lord level was surprisingly straightforward.
Inside his manor in the Primal Secret Realm, Han Jue sat cross-legged in his meditation chamber, preparing for the advancement. His consciousness turned inward, examining the intricate structures within his body.
Han Jue's dantian could be divided into two distinct regions.
The first region manifested as a dazzling spiral galaxy. At its center churned a massive supermassive black hole, with eight smaller black holes orbiting along each of the galaxy's eight spiral arms. These gravitational singularities had formed from the star systems within his body after his breakthrough to Universe level, representing the pinnacle of that cultivation stage's physical transformation.
The second region contained the Water-Sky Holy Flame and its eight orbiting primordial fire seeds. These flames formed their own celestial pattern, circling the supermassive black hole at the outermost reaches of the vortex galaxy. The integration of these two systems, the physical and the elemental, represented Han Jue's unique cultivation path.
With a single focused thought, Han Jue released the suppression he'd maintained on his body's natural evolutionary instincts.
Boom!
The devouring power of the central supermassive black hole and the eight spiral arms suddenly surged with overwhelming force, consuming the surrounding stellar matter with ravenous hunger. The massive central singularity expanded rapidly, its gravitational pull intensifying exponentially as it drew the eight smaller black holes inexorably inward.
Within moments, the entire vortex galaxy vanished completely, leaving only a single unified supermassive black hole of unprecedented density.
Crack!
The supermassive black hole suddenly collapsed inward with violent intensity. The entire pitch-black region within Han Jue's life core contracted at a speed visible even to his enhanced perception. In the span of a single heartbeat, the entire massive structure imploded and disappeared entirely.
Simultaneously, a gray sphere materialized at the precise center where the black hole had existed.
A singularity!
From Universe level to Domain Lord level, the complete galaxy was devoured by the black hole, which then collapsed to form a primordial singularity. The moment this transformation completed, a cultivator officially entered the Domain Lord realm.
Both genetic energy and spirit energy underwent fundamental transformation during this process, ascending to an entirely new quality of power.
During the singularity's formation, Han Jue noticed something unusual.
The eight primordial flames within his body seemed to have been drained of substantial power, their luminosity dimming noticeably as they grew weaker. Was this phenomenon related to his Six Eyes bloodline ability? The breakthrough to Domain Lord level had triggered a cascade of unexpected changes throughout his entire physiology.
Han Jue remained seated in meditation, carefully observing his internal state. The most significant transformation was undoubtedly his genetic multiplier.
Before breaking through to Domain Lord level, cultivators could achieve a maximum genetic multiplier of one hundred times baseline through various specialized methods and treasures. Han Jue had discovered that his genetic level had mysteriously tripled during the breakthrough, he now possessed thirty times the baseline human life gene level.
This represented an extraordinary advantage.
By the time he reached ninth-level Domain Lord, Han Jue suspected he might not even need to rely on the Holy Flame's amplification to unleash power equivalent to a World Master. He could potentially battle ordinary Immortal level opponents head-on using his raw physical capabilities alone!
"Typically, the Six Eyes' evolution grants two distinct new abilities upon each major breakthrough, but then..."
Han Jue opened his eyes, then froze in genuine astonishment at what he discovered.
His innate secret technique [Observation] had evolved dramatically!
Just as he'd predicted during his research, the direction of the Six Eyes' evolutionary development could indeed be influenced and guided to a certain extent through focused intention and specialized training. The results exceeded his most optimistic projections.
Now, Han Jue could visually observe the operational principles of all ten fundamental Origin Laws of the universe simultaneously. The corresponding law-based innate techniques had also improved dramatically in both precision and scope. Similarly, his [Analysis] secret technique could now be applied to these different Origin Laws with equal effectiveness.
Perhaps... Han Jue could genuinely achieve recognition from all ten Origin Laws at the World Master level! The implications of such unprecedented versatility staggered even his analytical mind.
"Wait... this applies to my accumulated talent regarding the Origin Laws of Space and Time as well?" Han Jue felt a moment of genuine shock as he processed the full scope of the changes.
If the Six Eyes' original spatial law talent had been measured at a baseline value of one, it now registered at five! His innate spatial comprehension ability had increased fivefold in a single breakthrough!
The 108 fundamental essences of the spatial Origin Law were now completely transparent to his enhanced perception, no secret could hide from his Six Eyes' analytical gaze.
Beyond that unprecedented improvement, he'd also gained substantial talent regarding the Origin Law of Time. While not as pronounced as his spatial affinity, the temporal comprehension ability was still remarkable for someone at Domain Lord level.
The combination of these enhancements meant that Han Jue's path forward had become clearer and broader than ever before. The World Master level, which had once seemed like a distant milestone, now felt tantalizingly close.
All he needed was time and the proper resources to fully realize his extraordinary potential.
