Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies

The planet had given him such an impression that he decided to design his own sub-realm similar. However, this was only because the area was vastly limited. If it wasn’t, he would build a realm on par with the Sirius Titan Realm.

"For now, this will do." He turned towards the solar star, the sun, of the sub-realm. It was amber-gold with gold flames. Yan Zaizen had utilized his comprehension into the laws to personally construct this sun, but it could only be considered a miniature sun.

It contained the law of fire, light, and gravity from the Heavenly Laws, law of purity from the Non Universe Laws, and his own False Grand Dao energy. He wasn’t proficient in formations, so he had to create the actual things from his own comprehensions. This gave it a truly authentic feeling.

Normally, formations would be used for stars, suns, planets, and moons. However, Yan Zaizen did this all from scratch and his own strength. This had its disadvantages, such as the inability to galvanize the power of the realm, but it wasn’t needed.

The sub-realm was too small, and his strength was far too great to receive any beneficial power from this sub-realm. Therefore, he had no issues.

As for the moon, it was silver-blue and radiating spectacular light. It softly emitted rays of soulforce, soul energy, and the law of purity. This made it suitable for spiritual lifeforms, soul cultivators, and those related to spirits to receive untold benefits. It required him using his own Astral Star as a model.

The planet had a similar composition to Earth from the 7th Heaven. The only difference was the lack of natural lifeforms and a profound force. It did, however, was connected to the Non Universe. At its core, there was a rift set up by him to the Non Universe.

"It’s small, but sufficient." Nodding to himself, he felt that this place was quite suitable for him. The only issue...

"I need to construct a residential palace for my cultivation, and a name!" As his mind drifted to this, he reached towards the planet. A heavenly might gathered at his palm and pushed forward. This heavenly might was infused with mimicry laws.

It touched the surface of the planet, and like magic, from its foundation to its peak tower, an immortal palace was constructed. It was amber-gold and white, dazzlingly brilliant yet of the utmost purity.

It wasn’t large, a mere few miles, but it gave off the feeling of being the center of the world.

"Within my palace shall be chaotic space." Nodding at himself, he felt this was the most suitable. When he entered chaotic space in the future through this palace, he would have access to its changeable timeflow and the laws from both universes within. If he desired essence, he just needed to create a portal and siphon it if he wished.

"Chaotic Space is your home," Pinaka softly said. To Yan Zaizen, chaotic space truly was his home; therefore, it was the best location for him to establish his cultivation grounds. The palace was nothing but a formality and with it being interconnected to two universes, he could ponder them comfortably while others would find it quite difficult to reach him.

"Let’s go," he tapped out lightly and produced a rift. This rift was odd, it seemed to be connected to two locations like the combination between nothing and everything. When Yan Zaizen saw this, he nodded in approval.

With a step, he entered the heavenly universe’s 17th Heaven.

Arriving in outer space, in his previous location, he furrowed his brows as he turned towards the planet. "They’re going to wipe out the male insurgency?" At this moment, Ella and Emma had arrived at the base of the male rebels.

"Haaa..." he felt slightly irritated and only because of who was in it - Amy Burr’s Brother. Normally, he would let events run its course, their actions and faults led to their deaths - this was their choice. However, could he helplessly stand by while Amy Burr’s brother is slaughtered?

As a person new to having disciples, he didn’t wish for them to suffer so early. It could stunt their growths or warp their personalities.

He tapped out and a ripple formulated releasing a subtle fluctuation in space. This ripple soundlessly spread and wrapped around all the male rebel’s with speed faster than light itself.

Snap!

Snapping his fingers, all within the base was teleported elsewhere, while mimicked clones replaced them almost simultaneously. These clones were slaughtered.

"Haaa...if I do this for one, I should do the other." Ignoring the two heavenly experts, he turned towards a small city and saw Damian’s father who was on his last legs, his entire body emanated an air of death and disease.

He tapped out once more, a white flame emerging on his finger. This white flame flickered and vanished as if it never existed, but it appeared within Damian’s father’s heart. "I’ll help for a century, after...it’ll be your son’s duty to extend your life."

The white flame acted as a source of lifeforce, albeit his sickness had yet to be cured, his life would not be taken for a century. If nothing was done to help his life, he would surely die.

"It’s only right, but why did you save the entire male insurgency?" Pinaka approved of Yan Zaizen’s actions, displaying his kindness towards disciples, but not fully solving their problems. The only thing she suspected was Yan Zaizen’s actions of saving the entire group instead of just Amy Burr’s brother.

"Bias." He flatly stated. As a sovereign, he wasn’t afraid to admit his opinions on the subject was skewed. As a man, how could he not be biased? He wouldn’t help them in their agenda, but when it was to save one, he may as well save them all.

"Their doctrine is disgusting, but they won’t win regardless. It’s likely Amy or Damian will take over this realm, establishing their own rules in the future. Their survival doesn’t matter and they’re on a clock. When the Realmlord completes her second floor, her heavenly sense will be able to sense them even through that formation." Yan Zaizen explained his thoughts, but even still, he was clear that he had acted out of bias.

Only those truly in touch with their own personalities can openly admit such a thing. He felt his soul tremble slightly.

"Oh?" Yan Zaizen’s eyes lit up as he entered an introspection of his soul. He saw two Astral Stars radiating dense soul energy and brimming. They were even faintly thumping like heartbeats.

It’s been a while since his soul cultivation had made any movements. The Soul Source Path was all about comprehending the essence of your experiences and self, enlightening your soul as a result. Over the years, he’s learned quite a few things about himself and his stances, and with his dao, this was much faster than normal.

Despite only living for five thousand years and consciously for two thousand, he was now on the cusp of an Advanced Astral Soul. "Fascinating! I just need the requisite soul energy to complete my breakthrough. Then, my soul could easily rival fourth or even fifth-floor Heavenly Genesis experts."

He didn’t wait, bringing out a vast quantity of soul crystals that littered about in outer space. His actions easily caught the attention of the twin guardians of the realm, Ella and Emma; however, he continued his actions without a care.

His eyes transformed, no longer containing an amber glow but a deep black depth that seemed endless. This blackness started to spiral and in the time it takes for one to blink, all the soul crystals had been absorbed.

Boom!

An astonishing booming sound emerged as both his Aurora Astral Star and his Asura Astral Star expanded, the light emanating from it grew stronger, but the most shocking feature was the light emitted. It was purer than any light in the universe, untainted by all beneath the heavens.

"The Non Universe Laws?" Yan Zaizen felt shocked! The avatar of the conceptual law seemed to still be in effect as the pure force that was absorbed for ninety-nine minutes entered his two astral stars, forever embedding itself within.

All the remnant force within his body dissipated as a result, but his astral stars became brighter and brighter. It continued until it expanded once more!

BOOM!

Yan Zaizen felt this booming, and his eyes grew serious. He threw all the soul crystals he had within his ring, creating a small moon-sized cluster of crystals. With a thought, in the time for three blinks, the soul crystals entered through his eyes and funneled into his soul.

The astral stars emitted light that out the pure light from before to shame!

Perfect Astral Soul Realm!

Yan Zaizen felt enlivened! He didn’t understand how or why the Soul Source Path reacted to the force within the Non Universe the way it did, nor did he understand how the black hole enabled his cultivation to rise without enlightenment, but he felt amazing. He wasn’t one to look a gift horse in its mouth.

As he relished the soul energy circulating within his soul form, two figures appeared beside him, they were Ella and Emma! As they saw Yan Zaizen, their eyes were filled with curiosity, but one was smiling and the other frowned. They were like two opposing opposites.

To them, Yan Zaizen had summoned soul crystals of an astronomical amount, then stored it. Then, he summoned even more, but immediately stored it again. The devouring was so fast that they didn’t see them disappear within Yan Zaizen’s eyes.

Yan Zaizen turned his attention to them, with a calm smile, he greeted them, "Hello."
