Chapter 310: Creation

Beside the Primordial Universe's Primordial Secret Realm Divine Power Base.

A giant, like a wild man, floated in the void, exuding an incomparable, maddening aura.

This is the Giant Axe Founder.

The Giant Axe Founder swept his gaze to Xiao Yu beside him and said, "Universe Venerable, you can match a top‑tier Lord of the Universe; you're impressive, Xiao Yu!"

"Your application, Hun Dun already told me, and the human higher‑ups and I have agreed; in a moment I will bring you into my Giant Axe Microcosm."

"Thank you, Giant Axe Founder." Xiao Yu said respectfully.

"You consider the clan, so the clan will not shortchange any member who is devoted to it. Since I decided to grant you this reward, I will fulfill it." The Giant Axe Founder said casually, "Now you are only Venerable Rank; even ten‑thousand‑fold acceleration would not consume much Divine Power. If you later ascend to Lord of the Universe, I fear I could not sustain that consumption for long."

In the Cosmic Sea, the Giant Axe Microcosm can, like the Primordial Universe, autonomously absorb the endless energy of the Cosmic Sea, allowing it to grow. Relying solely on the Divine Power within the Strongest of the Universe's true body cannot sustain it for long, and the microcosm will continue to expand.

The life within the microcosm also cultivates and continues to consume resources.

"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

Xiao Yu burst through the void and found himself in a massive valley, its greatest diameter at least a hundred billion kilometers.

In the Divine Kingdom, Xiao Yu perceived one second, while in this valley he felt 10,081 seconds had passed.

Xiao Yu then felt he had arrived first at the Great Axe Battle Arena headquarters, and subsequently entered a Teleportation Channel.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's Human True Body sensed its other Soul Consciousness to be extremely sluggish.

Everything around became clear.

Xiao Yu clearly felt the flow of time fluctuating, just like the sensation of entering the Primordial Universe.

"It's like my combat footwork, accelerating the entire space to achieve a super‑luminal effect in the Primordial Universe; in truth my speed never exceeds light speed—others cover a day while I take three days or even longer," Xiao Yu thought silently.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Xiao Yu—the Giant Axe Founder's Divine Avatar.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the Space-Time Law enveloped the entire valley; through the Time Law, Xiao Yu could feel the flow of time quickening, yet his subjective awareness perceived the flow as normal.

"Xiao Yu, all life in this valley has already been relocated elsewhere; in a moment I will concentrate the microcosm's energy to accelerate the valley's time flow ten thousandfold," the Giant Axe Founder said.

Simultaneously, the Human True Body's consciousness, along with the many split‑self consciousnesses in the Divine Kingdom and the consciousnesses on the avatars, experienced a massive sense of fragmentation due to the ten‑thousand‑fold acceleration.

"Let's go." the Giant Axe Founder said.

"Is this the Giant Axe Founder's microcosm?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at the massive forest of towering trees, some nearly a thousand kilometers tall, resembling an ancient jungle.

"Here, you have fifty thousand epochs to devise your own technique, and I will also assess its rank," the Giant Axe Founder said, "I hope you can create miracles again."

Within this Giant Axe Microcosm, ten thousand epochs pass while only ten thousand years elapse in the Primordial Universe.

"Giant Axe Founder, please evaluate the rank of the move I devised!" Xiao Yu requested. He knew his self‑created first move of Creation, "Open Heaven," had reached Lord of the Universe‑level technique, and that it was still inferior to the Primordial Universe's strongest Lord of the Universe technique, yet he did not know exactly how far "Open Heaven" had progressed.

"Use it, and I'll take a look." the Giant Axe Founder said casually.

"Alright." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

He then swung his right hand, and a dark blade of over ten million kilometers sliced the sky, striking the space‑time barrier at the valley's edge before dissipating.

"Not bad; this technique has reached Lord of the Universe‑ultimate level, though it has not yet attained perfection," the Giant Axe Founder said, glancing at Xiao Yu. "To achieve Venerable Rank and self‑create a Lord of the Universe‑ultimate technique in such a short span makes you a monster‑level cultivator. With such a technique and the High-level Domain Treasure you possess, you could contend with the Lord of Purple Heaven within the Primordial Universe, which is plausible."

"It's lucky; if the Lord of Purple Heaven went all‑out from the start, my Human True Body might collapse, losing a few Top-level Treasures," Xiao Yu said modestly.

"Ha ha, you can forge Top-level Treasures yourself; a few Treasures mean nothing to you," the Giant Axe Founder sighed. "Very well, begin cultivation; when you need to test a technique, just call my name."

The Giant Axe Founder's Divine Avatar then dissipated.

Xiao Yu sat cross‑legged, produced the World Ring, and then dispelled the ninety‑four Divine Avatars within the Divine Kingdom, retaining only the four avatars stationed on Earth, the Divine Power Base, Jiang Shen Star, and Zijing Island.

He then continuously separated ninety‑four Divine Avatars from his Human True Body; when Divine Power waned, he used portions of the World Tree Divine Body within the World Ring to restore it.

Each time an avatar was created, the Soul Sensitivity was redistributed anew.

After the ninety‑fourth avatar emerged, within this valley the avatars and Xiao Yu together concentrated ninety percent of Xiao Yu's Soul Sensitivity, while the outside retained only ten thousand‑fold Soul Sensitivity.

Xiao Yu's Human True Body and his Divine Avatars scattered throughout the valley, each studying different techniques such as his self‑created Creation, Primordial Soul Fifth Layer, Phantom Slash, the Eight Fusion Laws, and the Chaos Law.

Additionally, the Human True Body was researching a Secret Pattern, seeking to transform the path of the Secret Pattern into an offensive technique, which required immense mental effort and time.

After all, previously he had only obtained the knowledge of the entire Secret Pattern through the system and fully comprehended it, which did not guarantee Xiao Yu understood all its applications.

Before, he could apply the Secret Pattern to forging artifacts, as that is one of its fundamental uses. To apply it offensively, however, required continual research, trial and error, and refinement.

With cultivation—

Xiao Yu's Open Heaven power kept increasing.

Year 3000.

"Your Open Heaven's power has reached the strongest Lord of the Universe technique," the Giant Axe Founder sighed.

Xiao Yu then began the second move of his self‑created Creation, spending five thousand years to forge the Lord of the Universe‑ultimate technique "Destruction."

This second move of Creation, "Destruction," contains the power to annihilate everything; once unleashed, all vegetation in the valley withered instantly into void, and even the rocks turned to dust.

After another thirty thousand years, Xiao Yu finally refined "Destruction" to the strongest Lord of the Universe technique level.

"Xiao Yu, this move is impressive; even within my universe it can manifest such strength, already the strongest Lord of the Universe technique. With this technique, once you become Lord of the Universe, you can reach the Five‑tier Universe Lord tier," the Giant Axe Founder sighed.

"Continue cultivating; I want to see what your fifty‑thousand‑epoch limit is," the Giant Axe Founder anticipated.
