Lord of the Rending Stars

Within Qingyang's inner world.

With a thought, Qingyang conjured a colossal egg, five thousand meters tall, within his inner world. Both the Time Shadow Beast and the human form were filled with anticipation as they gazed at the egg.

The Time Shadow Beast is naturally close to the laws of time and space. Although it does not reject the laws of lightning, it is not exactly friendly to them either.

But the lightning within this egg was different; it carried a primal aura of 'creation,' as if lightning were not a force of destruction, but rather a source of creation.

"The Cold Whale says it belongs to Yang, and was conceived by the laws of thunder and time," Qingyang carefully sensed, and sure enough, deep within those violent laws of thunder, there was a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shadow Beast itself was extremely sensitive to the laws of time, it probably wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

"A talent that combines lightning and the laws of time... No wonder the Cold Whale thinks the Sky-Soaring Kunpeng is a cut above it."

Like the Time-Shadow Beasts, they are naturally drawn to the two supreme laws of time and space, reaching a genetic level of 50 times upon birth. Moreover, special life forms are not limited by the 100-fold genetic level of the primordial universe, making them the true darlings of the primordial universe.

Qingyang took a deep breath, and both bodies closed their eyes simultaneously, their consciousness sinking into their inner worlds. At this moment, in the vast inner world, the earth was desolate, the sky was chaotic, and in the center floated a crystal that emitted spatial and temporal fluctuations—the core of the Time Shadow Beast's origin.

"The creation of a talent clone requires two conditions: clone material and sufficient energy."

"Materials for creating a clone are ready."

"Nurturing energy..."

With a thought, the energy crystals stored throughout his body began to melt, transforming into a surging torrent that rushed toward the giant egg.

At the same time, he also invested the energy treasures worth trillions of Chaos Units that he had exchanged from the Virtual Universe Company.

Energy, like the ocean, envelops the giant egg, beginning its initial permeation and activation.

"Innate Secret Technique, Clone," the Time Shadow Beast himself commanded in a deep voice.

boom!

The once lifeless eggshell suddenly glowed with a faint light! Dense lightning patterns appeared on the dark shell, each pattern seemingly breathing and absorbing the surrounding energy.

"There's a reaction... As expected, the dead egg merely represents the dissipation of life; its 'form' and 'essential laws' remain. Rekindling its form will surely recreate its spirit!"

Qingyang was thrilled, but dared not relax in the slightest. The process of nurturing a special life form, especially one with such a high genetic level, was long and full of variables.

As time passed, the energy within the inner world was continuously drawn away, and the lightning patterns on the surface of the giant egg grew brighter and brighter, even showing tiny arcs of electricity leaping about. These arcs were not ordinary blue or white, but a deep purple, and each flash caused the space within the inner world to tremble slightly.

"What an overbearing law of lightning... even just the initial overflow of its power in its nascent stage has such might." Qingyang was slightly shocked.

One month, two months...

Two years have passed, and the giant egg has grown to a diameter of 100 kilometers, its shell becoming crystal clear, as if cast from purple crystal.

Through the eggshell, one could vaguely see a curled-up shadow inside, its outline resembling neither bird nor fish, with phantom wings on its back and purple lightning crackling around its body.

The life force within the egg has grown from nothing to something, from faint to surging, and now it has reached an astonishing level.

"At the genetic level...it truly surpasses the Time Shadow Beast!"

Qingyang was able to roughly determine the genetic level of the clone. Although the exact value could not be determined, it was definitely more than 50 times the original genetic level of the Time Shadow Beast, and possibly hundreds of times, or even higher.

"No wonder the Cold Whale said it should have had the opportunity to shake the universe. With such a genetic level, once it grows up, it would probably be no less than those well-known special life forms in the universe, such as the World Tree."

Qingyang was immersed in his enlightenment, and the gestation of his inner world clone continued. Two hundred years later, "Almost there... the gestation has reached its final stage."

Qingyang calmed his mind and focused all his consciousness on his inner world. The life fluctuations within the eggshell gradually synchronized with the fluctuations of his own soul.

The feeling was incredibly strange, as if I had gained an extra body, an extra pair of eyes, and an extra perception of lightning and time.

Finally, at a certain moment in the 205th year, crack! A crisp shattering sound rang out in the inner world.

The eggshell, as purple as crystal, cracked open. Then, a second... countless cracks spread, instantly covering the entire eggshell with spiderweb-like patterns.

Boom! The eggshell exploded completely, and endless purple lightning erupted from it, illuminating the entire inner world as a kingdom of thunder!

In the center of the lightning, a figure slowly stretched out. It was an incomparably magnificent behemoth. Visually, its body stretched as far as the eye could see, with a length exceeding one million kilometers. Its entire body was covered with deep purple scales, and each scale was naturally imprinted with lightning runes.

Its body is as fluid as a swimming fish, yet it possesses a pair of broad wings with a wingspan exceeding two million kilometers, the wing membranes rippled with the patina of time. Its head resembles a roc, with a sharp beak and pure silver-white eyes, like solidified lightning.

Most peculiarly, it seemed to be surrounded by two layers of light: the inner layer was like constantly appearing and disappearing purple lightning, and the outer layer was like faintly visible silver ripples of time.

"Soaring Kunpeng... My second clone!" Qingyang's consciousness was perfectly connected with this new body, and all senses were instantly shared.

He controlled the Kunpeng clone, and with a gentle flap of its wings, whoosh! A faint black mark was torn open in the space of his inner world!

That's a real spatial rift!

"Just born, yet it can tear space apart with a mere flap of its wings... The power of this body is probably close to that of a King-level Immortal!" Qingyang exclaimed in shock.

The Kunpeng clone hovered quietly in the center of the inner world, surrounded by lingering purple lightning and silver ripples of time. With just a simple flap of its wings, it caused the inner world, which was nearly 10 billion kilometers in diameter, to tremble slightly.

"The base strength is 2000 times that of a Realm Lord, and the genetic level is 2000 times," Qingyang immediately sensed the genetic level of this body. The Time Shadow Beast's original genetic level, enhanced by the blood of the Beast God, had reached 1500 times, placing it among the top tiers of special life forms. But the Wandering Heaven Kunpeng…

"Two thousand times!"

When the clear perception returned to his consciousness, even though he was mentally prepared, Qingyang was still shaken.

Special life forms nurtured in the primordial universe typically have a genetic level within a thousand times. The Time Shadow Beast, born with a genetic level of fifty times, is already extremely rare; while some well-known special life forms, such as the World Tree and the Cold Abyss Emperor Whale, mostly have a genetic level between eight hundred and one thousand five hundred times.

"No wonder... With the Frost Whale's keen perception, it must have known the potential of the Soaring Kunpeng." Qingyang realized in his heart, "With such a high genetic level, once it breaks through to immortality, its divine body will be unimaginably enormous. If it breaks through to become a Universe Venerable, even the top Universe Overlords would probably find it difficult to match the Soaring Kunpeng in terms of divine body."

"Hahaha, with the Wandering Kunpeng by my side, the universe is vast, and there is nowhere I, Qingyang, cannot roam freely," Qingyang thought with boundless pride.
