Chapter 2498: Opening the Heaven Beyond

In the next second, Xiao Feng arrived at Origin Mountain.

The gate of the savage's dwelling stood open; inside could be seen a peerless maiden sitting opposite the Lord of the Universe, playing chess.

Although the maiden's chess skill was very poor, even with the Lord of the Universe having given her a four-stone handicap, she still gained some advantage.

"Xiao Feng has arrived."

Chen Li looked toward the door, a smile appearing on his face: "Not bad, not bad, much faster than I imagined."

"Brother Chen, sister-in-law." Xiao Feng greeted, entered and took a seat.

The maiden smiled, her eyes like crescent moons, and said: "You should call me Mother-in-Law, okay~"

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng and Chen Li exchanged glances, revealing strange expressions.

This maiden, who looked only seventeen or eighteen, was Chen Jie's biological mother, Long Chanxi, once a princess of the Mortal Ancient Kingdom, and among the Lord of the Universe's several consorts, she was the most beloved.

By seniority, she is indeed Xiao Feng's mother-in-law, but calling him brother while also calling her mother-in-law feels odd; it's better to call her sister-in-law.

"When will you open the cosmos?" Chen Li, knowing Xiao Feng's purpose, asked directly.

"Better to pick a day than to meet one; let's do it now." Xiao Feng replied.

"Alright, wait for me to finish this game." Chen Li nodded, continued placing his piece, and kept playing chess with his beloved wife.

Xiao Feng watched for a while; in less than twenty moves, Long Chanxi was overturned by Chen Li and seemed about to lose.

"I'm done playing, I'm done playing—you two hurry up and open the cosmos, don't keep the son-in-law waiting!"

The about-to-lose Long Chanxi acted like a ruffian, sweeping her hands across the board twice, scattering the pieces all over the floor.

Even while speaking she wore a grin, making it hard to get angry at her.

"She's spoiled." Chen Li

Helpless.

Long Chanxi rose, saying: "This is knowing the bigger picture, not wasting your time. Go on, go on—I'm going to find my sister to play." Then she lifted her skirt and ran to the back room, looking every bit like a little girl who hasn't grown up.

Xiao Feng somewhat understood why Chen Jie was unwilling to be a daughter.

"Let's go."

Chen Li also rose, his will wrapping Xiao Feng's Li Ti, took a step forward, and vanished from Origin Mountain.

When they reappeared, they were already at the edge of the universe.

Looking ahead with the naked eye, before them lay a expanse of Xing Kong, seemingly boundless.

Actually, the cosmic barrier lies just there; although it constantly expands outward, it cannot keep up with their speed, always maintaining a very small distance.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen an artificially opened cosmos before." Chen Li sighed.

"Oh? Are all the universes on the Myriad Worlds Tree naturally generated?" Xiao Feng asked.

Chen Li nodded: "Yes, an artificial universe is merely a possibility I deduced; the success rate is high, but I have never actually witnessed one."

One must know that to open an artificial cosmos, the prerequisite is to fully comprehend time, space, matter, soul, and Qi Luck to the realm of perfection.

Among the myriad universes on the Myriad Worlds Tree, the total number of Dao Ancestor-level experts born is extremely few; a Dual Dao Fruit Dao Ancestor can be called a peerless genius, having perfected the five supreme laws, an absolute one-in-a-million existence!

Xiao Feng's origins can be called the highest-grade lifeform allowed to exist in the material universe; perhaps only someone of his lineage could have such an opportunity to reach this point.

And such lifeforms certainly do not just appear at will; even among the various universes, they are exceedingly rare.

"We go out

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Li said.

Xiao Feng had already stepped out of the cosmic barrier before, but each time he was in a hurry and had not truly seen the form of a higher-dimensional universe.

Today, the opportunity finally arrived.

Chen Li casually pointed, and the cosmic barrier ahead opened a gap.

The two figures floated out; the form of their material Li Ti instantly disintegrated, turning into two clumps of pure source qi.

The difference lies in that Chen Li's myriad-things source qi is relatively small, only about the size of three to five regular Dao Ancestors' Li Ti combined.

Whereas Xiao Feng's is hundreds of times larger; his Li Ti is far more formidable than that of a Dao Ancestor of the same realm.

Their origins also differ: Xiao Feng has reached the Dao Ancestor level in all five great laws, the laws perfected.

But Chen Li's mastery of the five great laws is different!

His material law has surpassed the Dao Ancestor level, reaching the Source Realm, allowing him to embody a singularity or become a universe, ever-changing, encompassing all phenomena.

The spatial, temporal, soul, and Qi Luck laws are at the Dao Ancestor level.

However, as the Lord of the Universe, he needs no law imprint, so the Dao Ancestors within the universe do not know how high his attainment is.

At this moment, the two drifted apart in source-qi form outside the domain, and Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Finally I know your true realm; it turns out you're not that much stronger than me."

Chen Li's Divine Sense laughed: "My aptitude is inferior to yours; I'm already near the limit, the Supreme Source Realm offers little hope. Strive well, and when you reach that step, remember to share your insights with me."

"Certainly." Xiao Feng readily agreed.

"Go forth, open your own universe; I'll await your return." Chen Li said, there being nothing more to advise him—what needed saying had already been said.

"

"I won't disappoint you." Xiao Feng confidently smiled and drifted toward the depths of the higher-dimensional world.

The energy contained within this Li Ti of his is extraordinarily vast, already comparable to one-four-hundredth of the total energy of the material universe.

Although compared to Chen Li's true main body it is only one-four-hundredth, his realm is sufficient; opening a cosmos is no problem, merely his volume is a bit smaller.

The higher-dimensional world gives a feeling of emptiness, yet one cannot relax; once lax, a pseudo-source-realm enemy may appear, and before one knows it, they could vanish like smoke.

Indeed, having just left the material universe by a tiny amount of time, Xiao Feng sensed the approach of danger.

A pseudo-source-realm outside deity silently approached, opening an invisible maw toward Xiao Feng, seeking to devour him.

Xiao Feng's Divine Sense swept over; what his will perceived was a long vine.

Since there is no spatial source substance, I cannot judge the opponent's size. But from the total energy of the source qi of all things, the opponent seems not as vast as Xiao Feng's own energy.

"People's hearts are never satisfied, like a snake swallowing an elephant; since the supplies have come to my door, I won't be courteous." Xiao Feng thought.

The opponent's devouring force had arrived; he did not dodge or evade, countering with the Five Great Laws, directly neutralizing the opponent's devouring force.

Immediately afterward, a devouring force even greater than the opponent's burst forth!

Whoosh!

The Void World seemed to have a sound; Xiao Feng's origin had grown a circle, and he easily reversed the devouring, swallowing the opponent.

"So simple..."

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.

When Xiao Fan previously broke through to the Dao Ancestor, the lifeform he encountered outside the realm was also such a False Origin Realm being, but he then had no power to resist and nearly perished.

I never expected

In just a few hundred thousand years in the material world, he has grown to this point.

A single False Origin Realm lifeform can rival a hundred Dao Ancestors.

Having devoured that, Xiao Feng had grown fat; right then he didn't bother choosing a place, seeing that the Main Universe was not far away and the New Universe also nearby, Xiao Feng stopped right where he was and directly employed… the Supreme Opening Heaven Technique!
