Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

The next step is even more dangerous and mysterious.

Xu Yang carefully tried to guide the artistic conception of "life is born from the deepest stillness" in Chun Juan Qing Sheng's "Supplementary Insights" to the core of that miniature "stillness engine".

This is not a true creation of life, but an attempt to mimic a reversal of "momentum" at the extreme of destruction, an echo of a "critical state" before the explosion of the singularity, when all things are about to be created.

He extracted an extremely minute trace of the "originating from nothingness" concept contained in the faint fluorescence at the core of his chaotic space and injected it into the core engine of the false world.

hum!
The nascent virtual world shuddered violently. The pure annihilation power at the core engine seemed to have been injected with an extremely tiny "impurity," instantly becoming more violent and unstable. At the same time, an indescribable, strange fluctuation, somewhere between "end" and "beginning," spread out.

This fluctuation imbued the false world with a deeper, more destructive aura, seemingly pointing directly to the very foundation of existence—the nascent form of the characteristics of "withering" and "ending."

Having completed the first two steps, the third step has finally arrived.

The ultimate form of a false world is not meant to be maintained, but rather to generate the greatest destructive power when it erupts in an instant!

When Xu Yang was constructing the structure of the false world, he deliberately embedded a large number of "collapse nodes" in the multi-layered law network. When the core engine of the false world is activated and the power of annihilation erupts, the entire fragile structure is forcibly activated and instantly overloaded, and these nodes will collapse in a chain reaction.

The ingenuity of the design lies in the fact that each collapse not only releases a massive destructive energy shockwave, but the fragments and turbulent currents of laws generated by the collapse also become catalysts and energy sources for the next, even larger-scale collapse. It's like lighting a fuse to detonate a bomb, and the fragments of the bomb then ignite even more bombs around it... much like a nuclear fission reaction, instantly forming an exponentially exponentially growing wave of destruction!
Xu Yang simulated this chain reaction of collapse countless times in his mind.

The Spirit Source Daoist Fruit allows him to accurately calculate the energy flow, the order of disintegration, and the superposition of impacts... striving to maximize the "world collapse" effect.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if countless miniature worlds were being born and dying in a cycle. With a thought, an unstable energy sphere, no bigger than a fist, radiating a deep, dark light, covered with countless tiny cracks on its surface, and with a faint halo of chaotic light at its core, suddenly appeared in his palm.

This is the initial prototype of the [Destroy the False World]!
It hovered silently in the palm of my hand, emanating a chilling aura. The cracks on its surface writhed like living things, and within, a turbulent energy could be faintly seen circulating and accumulating, as if it were about to erupt completely at any moment, dragging everything around it into an abyss of collapse and nothingness. The chaotic halo at its core exuded a sense of impending doom that made even the most primal instincts of life wither and decay.

"Success! Although it's only a prototype, unstable, and extremely mentally taxing... its power..." Xu Yang's eyes burned with excitement, "It was completed faster than I expected, after only consuming eight Spirit Source Dao Fruits!"

Ten Spirit Source Dao Fruits can sustain high-speed cultivation for one epoch. Now, it only took eight thousand years to successfully comprehend the strongest ultimate move, [Destroy the Pseudo-World], which is an unexpected joy.

After a moment's thought, sensing that his soul was still in an extremely active state... Xu Yang took out the newly exchanged "Chaos Annihilation Spear" without hesitation.

Sensing its master's intent, the dark gun barrel emitted a deep hum, and the annihilation ripples on the blade flickered violently.

Xu Yang took a deep breath and focused all his energy on the tip of the gun.

"Om-!"

With a strange buzzing sound, the newly formed nascent pseudo-world of destruction was carefully guided by him to slowly merge with the tip of the Chaos Annihilation Spear.

At this moment, the spear tip no longer seemed like cold metal, but had transformed into a miniature, doomed universe. The void around the spear tip silently twisted and collapsed, drawing in light, and the atmosphere of "withering and ending" permeated the air, making the vitality of the entire quiet room seem to dim.

"go with!"

Xu Yang let out a low shout, but did not actually thrust out. Instead, he used his mind to lock onto a Chaos Essence Gold target in the quiet room, which was specially made for the Chaos Realm.

The tip of the spear moved forward almost imperceptibly, and the destructive pseudo-realm that had been condensed at the tip was instantly activated.

Under Xu Yang's deliberate control, no earth-shattering explosion occurred; instead, a chilling "melting" scene unfolded!
The incredibly sturdy Chaos Refined Gold target, capable of withstanding attacks from ordinary Chaos Realm cultivators, was instantly stripped of its luster and resilience as it was thrown into a desert where time was accelerated billions of times, turning into a pile of gray, lifeless powder that fell in a flurry as it reached the edge of the pseudo-realm's power.

Immediately afterwards, the annihilation engine of the pseudo-realm core erupted, initiating a chain reaction of collapse.

Chi chi chi——! ! !
The remaining part of the target was like being devoured, peeled away, and disintegrated by an invisible giant maw. From the macroscopic material structure to the microscopic particle level, it was rapidly disintegrated and annihilated in that exponentially growing wave of destruction.

The whole process was incredibly fast; almost instantly, the entire Chaos Essence Target vanished completely from its spot, leaving not a trace of dust behind.

Only a tiny, slowly recovering point of spatial collapse remained, along with the lingering Daoist aura in the air that made one feel desolate and decaying.

"Hiss..." Xu Yang himself gasped.

This power is at least ten times stronger than his previous [Eternal Silence] black hole form! Moreover, that "Withering End" characteristic, which targets the very essence of living beings, is practically the nemesis of soul attacks!
【Eternal Silence】is already a peak-level move in the Chaos Realm, so what level is 【Destruction of the Pseudo-World】?

The pinnacle of pinnacles?

More importantly, this is only a prototype and there is still room for improvement!

However, after the joy came a deep weariness and enlightenment.

It is extremely powerful and consumes a tremendous amount of energy.

Just condensing and maintaining a nascent pseudo-world and merging it with the tip of the spear to detonate it consumed nearly ten percent of his divine power and a large amount of his willpower. This move could only be used as a last resort.

At the same time, because the structure of the pseudo-world is far from perfect and its stability is extremely poor, the slightest carelessness during the construction process may cause it to go out of control and backfire. It is necessary to continuously refine the structure and seek more stable law support points.

Furthermore, how to combine the detonation of the pseudo-world with gun techniques more smoothly and rapidly requires repeated practice and simulation. The speed of combining it just now was still too slow. In a normal battle, the enemy would probably have attacked several times in that short time.

Xu Yang stared at the empty target and the gradually fading buzzing Chaos Gun in his hand, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "We've chosen the right path; the power far exceeds expectations!" He felt exhilarated. "Next, we need to utilize the remaining Spirit Source Dao Fruit time to continuously optimize the structure, try to reduce consumption, improve stability, and, more importantly, delve deeper into Qing Sheng's 'Supplementary Insights' to deepen our understanding of 'Nirvana and Genesis'!"

Without further hesitation, he immediately consumed the ninth Spirit Source Dao Fruit.

That cool, refreshing current that instantly elevated his thoughts to their peak flowed into his soul once more. He devoted all his attention once more to the subtle adjustments to the destroyed pseudo-world and to a deep understanding of the "Supplementary Insights".

Where the Chaos Essence Gold target disappeared, the spatial ripples completely subsided.

In the quiet room, only Xu Yang's cross-legged figure remained, along with the long spear that exuded a dark and destructive aura. A new and even more terrifying destructive power was quietly taking shape in his hand.

……

Cultivation knows no time; this primordial universe is even more vibrant than the Origin Continent!
Xu Yang's universe, with a diameter of trillions of light-years, now nurtures an immeasurable number of living beings, whose spirituality is ten to a hundred times higher than that of the beings nurtured in the small universes of ordinary true gods!
At this very moment, the divine power avatar that Xu Yang left behind in the primordial universe is currently in an indescribably beautiful place.

This is a strange star field near the core of Xu Yang's universe.

Countless enormous liquid planets, shimmering with iridescent light, floated in the void, connected by dazzling nebula bridges. Below them lay not a dark void, but an endless "Emerald Sea" formed from pure life essence. Floating on its surface were enormous, lotus-leaf-shaped continents radiating soft light, upon which grew countless exotic flowers and herbs, each imbued with astonishing spirituality and subtle rhythms of law.

The air was filled with an intense, pervasive sense of life, and every breath felt refreshing and invigorating, leaving one's soul clear.

The creatures here, whether they are the radiant birds soaring in the sky or the crystal-scaled beasts swimming in the sea, all possess a spiritual light as dazzling as the stars, and their wisdom and potential far surpass those of creatures of the same level in the outside universe by a hundred times.

"My lord, this 'Jade Pool Star Isle'... is so beautiful." Meng Cha nestled beside Xu Yang's avatar, dressed in an elegant cloud-patterned dress. Her exquisite face appeared even more dreamlike against the backdrop of starlight and the emerald sea.

After Xu Yang went to the Origin Continent, Meng Cha would occasionally transform into human form and snuggle up to Xu Yang as they traveled through the universe together... After all, the wolf body and the snake body are different, and the true form cannot be so close and intimate.

Mengcha's eyes sparkled with happiness and amazement. "When you first became a true god and the universe was first created, I knew you were extraordinary, but I never imagined you could evolve to this extent. I feel that every wisp of wind and every drop of water here is full of spiritual energy."

Xu Yang's divine avatar possessed a gentle and peaceful temperament, completely different from the sharp and domineering nature of his true self. He gently held Meng Cha's hand and smiled, "This universe is an extension of my will and our common home. I'm glad you like it. The core of this 'Jade Pool Star Isle' is a manifestation that integrates my understanding of the creation of life. The plants and creatures here are naturally close to the Dao, and their path of cultivation is far smoother than that of the outside world."

He casually plucked a flower petal from beside him, which was radiating a hazy moonlight. The petal itself transformed into specks of light, which coalesced in his palm into a tiny, lifelike jade rabbit. The rabbit affectionately rubbed against his fingers before dissipating into light again and returning to the flower stem.

“Spiritually born, almost a Dao body.” Mengcha was mesmerized, then a little worried, “But… Husband, where is your true body? You went through such dangers. Are you alright now?” Although it was just a wisp of divine power, the couple were of one mind, and she could sense that Xu Yang’s true body had recently gone through a thrilling and fierce battle.

Xu Yang's avatar smiled gently and reassured him, "Don't worry. Although my main body encountered a powerful enemy, it was a close call, and I even used the opportunity to hone myself, improving my strength considerably. I'm currently in seclusion in a safe place to consolidate my power. You can tell my main body is unharmed by the calm and composed aura I exude."

Mengcha was relieved, and a bright smile returned to her face: "That's good. My husband, you always manage to turn bad luck into good."

The two strolled across the emerald sea, traversing the Nebula Rainbow Bridge, admiring the endless wonders that had evolved from the core of the universe. Occasionally, newly awakened plant spirits would curiously peek out, bowing and greeting the two masters of the universe. Xu Yang's avatar would also frequently pause, casually offering guidance to these naturally born spiritual plants on their cultivation dilemmas, causing their bodies to surge with spiritual light and leap with joy.

This was a rare moment of peace and tranquility, a haven for Xu Yang away from the bloodshed and turmoil of the Origin Continent.

……

In the core region of the universe, a colossal mountain stands tall, its body resembling the forging of countless divine swords, radiating a sharp, soaring sword intent.

At the summit, an ancient stone hall serves as the training ground for Cangya, Xu Yang's eldest disciple.

In the square in front of the palace, Cangya was practicing his swordsmanship.

He had a wolf's head and a human body, a tall and imposing figure, a resolute face, and eyes like lightning. With each swing of his longsword, he drew upon the power of the primordial laws of the universe, transforming them into terrifying sword beams that tore through the void.

His swordsmanship is domineering, sharp, and unstoppable, full of destructive power, faintly carrying the shadow of Xu Yang's destructive origin, yet also possessing a bit of his own ferocious aura originating from his bloodline.

Its momentum was so great that it far surpassed that of an ordinary true god, reaching the threshold of the tenth rank!
"Master!" Upon seeing Xu Yang's avatar descend, Cangya immediately sheathed his sword and stood respectfully in greeting.

His eyes were filled with admiration and awe.

Xu Yang, with his piercing gaze, instantly saw through Cang Ya's true strength and weakness, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad. Solid foundation, refined sword intent, and you have grasped three-tenths of the essence of the Annihilation Killing Intent. It seems you haven't slacked off all these years."

"This disciple dares not slacken and will always keep Master's teachings in mind!" Cangya's voice was loud and clear.

"However," Xu Yang's avatar changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, "your sword is too focused on the ultimate destruction and annihilation. You must know that even at the end of destruction, there is life. Blindly being fierce is as bad as being too strong. You need to try to incorporate a touch of 'holding back' into your killing intent. This is not to weaken your sword's power, but to make your killing more profound, more unstoppable, and directly address the very essence of existence."

As Xu Yang spoke, he pointed his fingers forward like a sword, casually pointing forward.

There was no earth-shattering momentum.

But where his fingertip pointed, the void ahead silently transformed into absolute nothingness, as if even the basic particles that constitute space had reached the end of their lifespan and were completely annihilated. At the edge of that nothingness, however, a faint, almost imperceptible, strange "echo" rippled outwards, seemingly originating from the aftermath of the annihilation of all things, carrying a sense of desolation and end that made even Cangya's soul tremble.

Cangya's pupils contracted sharply, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

This single finger gesture contained a realm far beyond his current level, yet it pointed him on the path ahead!

"A breakthrough is imminent; you must carefully comprehend this realm," Xu Yang's avatar instructed. "The place is fraught with danger; strength is the only true foundation."

Cangya bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. This disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!" (End of Chapter)
