Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 574 Breakthrough! Chaos Overlord!

With this in mind, he entered the virtual universe and sent a message to someone.

Soon, the Primordial Ancestor, dressed in white robes, rushed over and asked with delight, "Chen Yuan, you've finished your seclusion? Have you broken through?"

"Um."

Chen Yuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "I was lucky enough to grasp the final key point, and I can break through at any time."

"And you, Grandmaster?"

"Me too." The Primordial Ancestor smiled faintly. "More than twenty epochs ago, my understanding of the laws had already reached the level of a Void True God, and I could break through at any time."

"However, I know nothing about the world after reincarnation, so I wanted to wait for you to come together, which is why I suppressed the urge to break through."

Compared to the original story, the current progenitor not only escaped his predicament earlier, but also obtained a more powerful virtual universe secret technique, and even a suitable branch of the Great Dao.

In this respect, it is in no way inferior to the Heart Shadow Sect inheritance that the original ancestor received in the original work, and may even be better, because both the virtual universe and the illusory branch are the most suitable for him.

Furthermore, since the Great Dao of the Soul is largely unaffected by environmental factors, the Primordial Ancestor's efficiency in comprehending it in the primordial universe was not low, which is why he was able to comprehend the bottleneck of the True God of the Void in just a few thousand epochs.

"As expected of our grandmaster."

Chen Yuan smiled and flattered him, then changed the subject, "However, I must ask my master to bear with me for a while and not break through in the short term."

"Oh?" Yuanzu was taken aback and asked, "What happened?"

He didn't ask why because he knew that this grand-disciple never acted without a reason. Since Chen Yuan wouldn't let him break through to the Void True God realm, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, Chen Yuan continued, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I caused some trouble in that world and am currently wanted by a group of powerful figures."

"To avoid karmic entanglements, those connected to the disciple cannot go there for the time being and must wait until things are over."

"You got into some trouble?" Yuanzu was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Wait, from what you're saying, you've already been there? How did you get there?"

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled, "Grandmaster, do you still remember the Divine Eye True Lord?" That was my soul servant. After he broke through to the Void True God realm, my consciousness followed him through reincarnation.

"So it was him—" The Primordial Ancestor suddenly realized, then reacted: "So, you already went to the post-reincarnation world a hundred epochs ago?"

"Yes."

The original ancestor took a deep breath.

He knows it!

This grand-disciple isn't the type to cultivate peacefully—he naively thought Chen Yuan would actually stay in seclusion for over a hundred epochs, but it turns out he sneaked into the new world ahead of time.

"Alright." The Primordial shook his head helplessly. "So, what trouble have you gotten yourself into? Is the one you call a powerful being the Eternal True God?"

Seeing Chen Yuan shake his head, the Primordial Ancestor was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "If he's not even an Eternal True God, he can't possibly be the Lord of Chaos, can he?"

Chen Yuan shook his head again and pointed upwards: "It needs to be a little higher."

"hiss-"

The progenitor gasped, his face filled with disbelief: "God... God-King?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

In reality, they were three ancient emperors comparable to the ultimate realm, but that wasn't the main reason. What he was truly wary of was the God Emperor behind these three.

However, this information was far beyond the comprehension of primitive cosmic life, so Chen Yuan didn't offer much explanation and simply acquiesced.

Even so, the Primordial Ancestor was still shocked enough; that was a God-King!

In his understanding, the God-King realm was the highest level on the Origin Continent, and his grand-disciple had actually provoked such a powerful figure—it was truly—

However, he quickly realized that being able to provoke the God King meant that Chen Yuan's own strength was already close to that level.

"Wait a moment." The Primordial Ancestor looked at Chen Yuan solemnly: "Can you tell me the truth, what level have you reached in your cultivation over the years?"

In response to this question, Chen Yuan smiled and replied, "This disciple has just comprehended the Law of Chaos and is preparing to break through directly to the Chaos Ruler realm."

The Lord of Chaos!

Even though he had prepared himself, the progenitor was still shocked, to the point that his expression became somewhat numb.

"The... the ruler of chaos?" He blinked. "The closest realm to a god-king?"

Chen Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes."

He wasn't lying; after all, he had originally planned to break through to the Chaos Realm, only his Chaos Realm was a tiny bit more powerful.

But as long as he hasn't broken through to the God King realm, who dares to say he's not in the Chaos Realm?

"Alright————" The Primordial Ancestor looked at Chen Yuan with complicated eyes. Even though he had long known that the other party's talent was extremely terrifying, he never expected that in just over a hundred epochs, this grand-disciple had actually reached this level.

You must understand that he worked himself to the bone to master the laws at the level of a Void True God. Although he had comprehended the "Source of Illusion" ahead of time, his understanding of the laws was insufficient, and he could not yet ascend to the level of an Eternal True God in one step.

And Chen Yuan? In the same amount of time, the other party had already crossed the two realms of void and eternity, and directly reached the level of Chaos Ruler, who was among the strong even in the "ancient civilization".

What incredible talent and genius!

"—Alright, I understand." The Primordial Ancestor took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and nodded, saying, "I will remain at the True God realm until your 'trouble' over there is resolved."

"Thank you for your help, Grandmaster." Chen Yuan had guessed that the Primordial Ancestor might break through, so he hurriedly reminded him to prevent the other party from unknowingly entering the cycle of reincarnation.

The three emperors, Di Yan and his companions, had been searching for him. He couldn't guarantee that their methods of causality would be able to find the ancestor, but he would eliminate any possibility whatsoever.

Anyway, given my cultivation speed, it won't take long to resolve this trouble, so I can only ask my master to wait a little longer.

After informing the Primordial Ancestor, Chen Yuan finally had his last concern resolved and could begin his breakthrough!

The universe at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

When Chen Yuan stopped suppressing his life-force desire to leap forward, his aura suddenly began to surge!

Although this surge in power was still insignificant compared to the divine body he had cultivated, its impact was far beyond what any secret technique could achieve.

Not to mention, Chen Yuan even attempted three consecutive jumps this time!

Void! Eternity! Chaos!

His life essence soared all the way up, and when he just broke through to the Void True God, his aura had already attracted the attention of life near the Primordial Universe.

When he broke through to the level of Eternal True God, the aura emanating from his body attracted the attention of all life in the primordial universe.

Ultimately, the breakthrough of the Chaos Ruler was just like when Pu ascended to the perfect divine body. Although there was no supreme rule to celebrate, all life in the entire cosmic sea felt his aura.

Eastern Emperor Universe.

"This aura—how is this possible?!" The Eastern Emperor Ancestor's expression changed drastically. As a being who had cultivated on the Origin Continent for a long time, although he had never personally seen any Chaos Ruler, he would never mistake the aura of this realm!

"Chen Yuan—no, the Primordial Ancestor—has actually fallen to this state!"

Unbelievable!

Meanwhile, the Purple Moon Ancestor, far away in the Purple Moon Holy Land, was equally incredulous.

"How could this be! He's just a True God, how could he have directly comprehended such a realm!"

The Purple Moon Ancestor's expression was equally exaggerated, but unlike the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, beneath his exaggerated expression lay an undisguised fear.

"I actually—I actually offended a Great Sage of Chaos?"

This progenitor, who has stood for countless epochs in the cosmic sea, was trembling all over at this moment.

Unlike the Eastern Emperor, he joined a small but powerful force on the Origin Continent, and therefore had a clear understanding of the terrifying nature of the Chaos Ruler.

A powerhouse of this caliber—even a single breath could annihilate him. Even if a divine avatar were to act, with the upper limit of divine power restricted, it could still easily destroy his holy land universe!

And now, he has enemies of that caliber!

"It's over—I'm definitely going to die—"

Besides these two progenitors, the mountain dweller, far away in his lair, also changed his expression: "This aura—Chen Yuan?"

"He actually broke through to the Chaos Ruler level!"

Originally, he had expected that this disciple would at most break through to the Eternal True God in one go, since the laws of chaos were not so easy to comprehend.

But he didn't expect that Chen Yuan would actually do it, comprehending the realm of the Chaos Ruler with the body of a true god. This achievement, apart from those reincarnated powerhouses, can be described as the first of its kind in history.

After the initial shock, the Mountain-Sitting Guest's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy: "My disciple—is he really that outstanding? He reached the Chaos Realm in just over a hundred epochs? Even a reincarnated God-King couldn't achieve this speed!"

"God—that's wonderful!"

An unprecedentedly wonderful feeling welled up in his heart. After noticing Chen Yuan's breakthrough, Zuo Shan Ke felt for the first time that the hope of revenge was within reach.

"It'll be soon. With Chen Yuan's talent, after entering the Origin Continent, he can break through to the God King realm in at most a hundred epochs, break through to the second level in a thousand epochs, and in ten thousand epochs—become the Ultimate Realm?"

The Mountain Guest took a deep breath. He felt that he was being delusional. The ultimate realm of the God King was not easy to break through, let alone in just ten thousand epochs.

But looking at this disciple's performance, I felt that there was still hope.

In any case, he never doubted whether Chen Yuan could break through to the ultimate realm; the only difference was the time it would take.

"In this respect—can you still surprise me, my disciple?"

The mountain dweller gazed in the direction of the primordial universe and silently thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, far away in his own universe, had just completed a transformation of the essence of life.

"My physical cultivation has reached the Chaos Realm."

Chen Yuan let out a soft breath: "After paying off billions of cosmic sands, the divine power that had been depleted within me has gradually been replenished."

He looked at his current physical condition. Compared to the physical body created by the World Life Form, his newly acquired body was in no way inferior, after all, these powers were based on the same foundation.

In other words, the most direct improvement Chen Yuan received from this breakthrough was that the level of power he could unleash doubled on the original basis.

Taking the galaxy form as an example, Chen Yuan's original limit was 300 billion galaxy powers, but at this moment he can divide it into a full 600 billion galaxies!

"Three hundred billion galaxies have given me invincible strength at the first level of the God King realm."

"Now that it has expanded to 600 billion galaxies, can I reach the invincible second level of the God King realm? I doubt it."

Chen Yuan shook his head. To put it bluntly, his current strength is at most doubled, and he is probably still a long way from the limit of the second level, let alone surpassing the limit and becoming truly invincible.

After all, crossing three major realms sounds impressive, but the resulting improvement is minimal. Only the breakthrough to the Chaos Realm had a significant impact, merely doubling one's power.

More than improving in this area, Chen Yuan was concerned about his restless spiritual realm.

But he waited a long time and still didn't achieve a breakthrough in his will or his soul.

"—Let's ignore that for now."

Chen Yuan pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked out at the vast universe: "Next, it's time to begin the transformation of the miniature universe."
