Chang Li Yao hovered at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, golden light and cosmic energy swirling around him. The Primordial World below was stabilized, and every fragment he had collected pulsed in harmony with his aura.
Finally… a little breathing room, he muttered, rubbing his temples. No forced breakthroughs, no system nagging, no saints trying to boss me around. Just me and… well, everything else.
[System Notice: Heavenly Realm fully stabilized. All fragments integrated. Optional Universe-Level Exploration Unlocked.]
Chang Li Yao smirked. "Optional, huh? Almost polite this time. Fine… let's see what trouble the universe can offer me."
He soared through the Heavenly Realm, testing the extent of his new power:
Reality Sovereignty allowed him to reshape floating islands at will, forming landscapes that reflected his strategy and whims.
Absolute Law Manipulation let him bend elemental, temporal, and spatial laws simultaneously, effectively making attacks from even the strongest cultivators predictable and manageable.
Primordial Integration let him combine fragments' energy to amplify his power exponentially.
Chang Li Yao chuckled sarcastically as he warped a small storm of fire and lightning into a circular pattern above him. "Yeah… if anyone tries to fight me now, it's going to be really… unpleasant."
As he tested his powers, multiple saints and rogue cultivators arrived, drawn by the radiant energy of the Heavenly Realm. Frost Saints, Void Demon Saints, Flame Saints, even a few rogue Heavenly Dao masters all stared at him in awe and fear.
"Impossible… he's beyond Heavenly Dao!" one exclaimed.
"He manipulates laws like toys…" another whispered.
Chang Li Yao floated lazily, smirking. "Relax, everyone. I'm not here to kill you… yet. Just… adjust your expectations of the universe a little."
With Reality Imprint, he left afterimages that simulated multiple Chang Li Yaos. With Time Echo, he avoided attacks before they landed. And with Primordial Comprehension, he countered techniques he hadn't even seen yet.
Even at maximum power, he sighed. "Ugh… being this strong is exhausting. Universe, you could have at least let me nap."
While the cultivators scrambled below him, Chang Li Yao's mind was already on the looming threat of Hong Mang World. He had fully consolidated the Heavenly Realm and Primordial World, but the system or the universe itself could eventually push him there.
1. Collect more fragments from hidden or dangerous realms to stabilize and expand his domain.
2. Use broken abilities strategically to create traps and contingencies for potential threats.
3. Study the laws of Hong Mang World indirectly, preparing without committing until necessary.
He smirked faintly. "If Hong Mang World comes for me… it's going to have the wrong idea about who's in charge."
Hovering in the glowing expanse of the Heavenly Realm, Chang Li Yao finally allowed himself a small, sarcastic smile.
"I'm officially untouchable. Saints, rogue cultivators, even the system… they all bow to me now. And yet… I'm still me. Frustrated, sarcastic, unwilling, but utterly unstoppable. Heaven, universe, whatever you've just made me… Chang Li Yao. And I don't answer to anyone."
As the golden energy of the Heavenly Realm pulsed around him, he felt the faint pull of hidden fragments in distant worlds potential threats, potential power.
He grinned. "Alright, universe… let's see what else you've got. I'll take it. On my terms."
And so, Chang Li Yao, master of the Heavenly Realm, wielder of broken abilities, and consolidator of the Primordial World, prepared for the next stage of existence: a confrontation with Hong Mang World itself, fully aware that no one no saint, no system, no realm could control him.
