Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 317 Hongmeng and Hunyuan

In a makeshift cave on an uninhabited island, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged.

Before him, a white jade wine cup floated quietly. Inside the cup, the Primordial Spirit Wine, radiating a soft purple light, seemed to be the embodiment of the Great Dao. Although it was just a cup of wine, it faintly contained the supreme laws of the Great Dao.

Just one whiff of it and Zhou Yang felt his entire soul tremble, as if he were about to ascend to immortality!

"Come on, let me see just how miraculous the effects of this legendary Primordial Spirit Wine really are!"

Zhou Yang sat up straight, then opened his mouth and gently inhaled at the white jade wine cup floating in front of him. Instantly, a wisp of fine, almost insignificant spiritual wine mist rose from the cup.

The Primordial Spirit Wine has immense effects even on the God Kings and Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Realm, and the energy it contains is terrifying.

Even though this cup of Primordial Spirit Wine has been specially refined, if Zhou Yang were to drink it directly, the terrifying energy contained within would probably be enough to cause him to explode and die.

Therefore, on his first attempt, he only dared to absorb less than one ten-thousandth of a drop of the wine.

"Heave-ho!"

Zhou Yang opened his mouth and swallowed the less than one ten-thousandth drop of the Primordial Spirit Wine directly into his mouth.

The instant that wisp of primordial spirit wine entered his body, Zhou Yang felt an astonishing surge of heat erupt within him!

A surge of heat swelled and spread wildly from his lower abdomen, instantly reaching every corner of his body.

After absorbing this heat, every inch of his flesh, bones, cell, and gene immediately began to undergo an astonishing transformation!

His genetic fragments are being rewritten, beginning to evolve into a more powerful, more stable, and more mysterious form.

With the evolution of genes, the following processes occur: cell breakdown, recombination, division, and regeneration!

The morphology of each cell is changing, and the structure of the cells is undergoing tremendous transformation. Even inside each cell, a faint, almost imperceptible, shimmering purple light is appearing.

The evolution and recombination of genes and cells naturally drive changes throughout his entire body!

His skin trembled slightly, as if it were being reconstructed, and even had a faint glow on its surface. His body seemed like the most perfect treasure.

But beneath the skin... inside the body, dramatic changes are taking place.

Countless evolved cells recombine and rearrange themselves in a certain form, causing his bones, muscles, internal organs, blood vessels, blood, eyes, and even his soul to undergo an incredible transformation. This transformation is perfect, as if everything has come to fruition, and as if the most beautiful picture of his life has been painted.

The transformation process was quick; in just a dozen breaths, everything had calmed down.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yang felt as if his body had become clear and transparent, and the structure of his body had reached an extreme perfection.

More importantly, his soul seemed to have undergone some kind of magical qualitative change. His soul realm was still Dark Star, but the quality of every part of his soul had been exaggeratedly improved.

In this way, although his soul realm remained unchanged, the power he could unleash was at least ten times stronger than before!

With such powerful soul perception, he felt as if the whole world had become different.

The previously obscure laws of Heaven suddenly became exceptionally clear in his eyes.

As if some kind of barrier had been broken through, powerful fluctuations of the fundamental principles of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, thunder, space, time, chaos, and life instantly flooded his mind.

Although this perception is still very vague, it is infinitely better than the previous situation where I could never sense anything at all!

However, Zhou Yang's attention was not on that at the moment.

His consciousness continued to expand, and under the guidance of that trace of Primordial Spirit Wine, he seemed to vaguely touch upon some supreme rule of 'Primordial Chaos' that transcended everything!

"Is that so?

In Zhou Yang's new universe, which had been devouring the world, Zhou Yang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He stood up and took a step, and the next moment he arrived at the very edge of the new universe.

Now, nearly three million years have passed since the first layer of the new universe, the "Mortal Realm," was completed.

According to his vision, the structure of the entire new universe is somewhat similar to a pyramid.

The lowest layer of space, although having the lowest energy level, is the foundation of the entire new universe and occupies the largest area, thus requiring the longest time to evolve.

The second floor, however, is much smaller than the first floor, so the time required is naturally reduced as well.

Now, three million years have passed, and even the second layer of the new universe is nearing its expansion limit.

"Whoosh~~~"

Zhou Yang stood at the edge of the new universe, quietly looking out from the membrane of the new universe.

Beyond this barrier lies a vast, boundless gray-black energy space, where massive amounts of gray-black energy are absorbed by the new universe and rapidly transformed into nutrients for its growth.

Previously, Zhou Yang thought that the gray-black energy outside the new universe was the same kind of chaotic energy as that in the cosmic sea.

He even tried to enter this gray-black energy space to investigate.

However, the final result was that he couldn't even enter the gray-black energy space outside. He only opened a small hole in the membrane of the new universe, and the impact of the powerful gray-black energy in that hole almost caused him to perish.

In his perception at the time, the gray-black energy space seemed to be a mysterious energy space that was a level higher than the energy level of the cosmic sea. Compared with that gray-black energy space, his own energy level was like a drop of water facing a vast sea of ​​fire. The moment he entered, he would be instantly vaporized and disappear!

However, the moment his clone absorbed that trace of Primordial Spirit Wine, the clone's soul underwent an unimaginable transformation. Consequently, even his original soul, far away in the Devouring World, was subtly touched by some mysterious force, finally giving him some guesses about the gray-black energy space outside the membrane of the new universe.

Because he sensed an aura in that gray-black energy space that was extremely similar to that of a certain substance in the Primordial Spirit Wine!

If he guessed correctly, when he broke through to the Immortal level and created a new universe, he might have accidentally created a new universe directly into the 'Hongmeng Space'!

No, perhaps it shouldn't be said that way. It's not that we opened up to the Primordial Space, but rather that we opened up to the "Hunyuan Space," which is on the same level as the Primordial Space!

The chapter title should be "Primordial Chaos and the Origin of Chaos," a typo. *sigh*
