Chapter 105: The "Super" Primordial Universe

Finally, when the radiant light of the Star Radiance completely enveloped the entire Lord’s Mansion, reaching an astonishing height of five hundred zhang, it ceased to spread.

At this moment, everyone present, including the Star Lord Lan Que, was at a loss for words. The Lord of Na Ba had transformed from feeling honored at the beginning to being utterly terrified.

He was truly terrified. The ability to generate a Star Radiance spanning five hundred zhang surpassed anything he had ever imagined regarding Lan Tian’s future accomplishments.

If Lan Tian did not perish along the way, becoming an immortal deity seemed an inevitable destiny.

“Except for Na Ba and myself, everyone else must evacuate Qingshan City immediately! This matter is to be classified as top secret!” Lan Que suddenly projected his cosmic projection, enveloping the entire Lord’s Mansion, severing all external detection. He spoke solemnly.

A genius of Lan Tian’s caliber could already be called a peerless prodigy of the entire human race. Yet, potential aside, before fully maturing, he remained just a small fry. A single powerful enemy could easily extinguish him in his cradle.

Therefore, apart from a select few, no one must know Lan Tian’s identity or appearance; otherwise, he would face endless assassination attempts.

Lan Tian, of course, was unaware of these precautions. He had reached the most critical moment—his energy nexus had been refined to the utmost limit, unable to condense even a fraction more.

Next came the ultimate explosion!

Taking a deep breath, Lan Tian followed the cultivation method’s guidance, exerting all his strength to control the energy nexus as it suddenly contracted. The once highly condensed energy point became unstable in an instant, beginning to fluctuate irregularly.

Yet, at the last moment, as if guided by some mysterious force, an inexplicable impulse struck him. Lan Tian channeled the fundamental battle technique’s divine rhythm into the energy nexus on the verge of explosion. Immediately, he witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The moment the divine rhythm flowed into the energy nexus, it seemed to trigger some mechanism. An earth-shattering explosion erupted within Lan Tian’s dantian, sending visible waves rippling outward from his body.

To Lan Tian’s astonishment, his seemingly errant attempt had indeed worked. The divine rhythm activated a special effect: after the initial explosion, in a remarkably brief span, an even more violent, ferocious blast erupted anew!

Fortunately, like the Star Radiance’s light, the energy nexus explosion seemed to exist in a different dimension than the surrounding space. Otherwise, even the formidable Cangxue Divine Body might have been reduced to ashes by this terrifying blast!

At the same time, at Lan Tian’s dantian—the site of the energy nexus explosion—the point expanded into a surface, then transformed from two-dimensional into three-dimensional. A void space rapidly expanded outward with the explosion. After the divine rhythm’s secondary detonation, the expansion accelerated again, as if endless cosmic energy were flooding backward, surging into the swiftly growing void...

At this moment, all of Lan Tian’s hopes, efforts, and accumulations coalesced into this rapidly expanding void space, becoming his true power!

The primordial universe was finally born!

Infinite cosmic energy was ravenously absorbed by the primordial universe. The first-level energy crystals in the secluded chamber visibly shrank. Under Lan Tian’s careful observation, the dense cosmic energy transformed into thick mist, filling the entire primordial universe.

This scene continued for a full day and night before the primordial universe seemed to reach a bottleneck, ceasing to absorb cosmic energy. The boundless energy mist filled the primordial universe, constantly rising and swirling.

Next, with overwhelming excitement, Lan Tian focused his entire mind on this newborn primordial universe. In his perception, the primordial universe was generally elliptical in shape, about the size of Lan Que Star itself. Apart from the gray mist endlessly rising and roiling, it was utterly empty—nothing else existed.

“Stop staring blankly. Tell me, how large is your primordial space?” Bai eagerly asked upon seeing Lan Tian’s breakthrough.

“Uh... it doesn’t seem very large, roughly the size of the entire Lan Que Star. Just this much space—can it really be called a universe?” Lan Tian replied uncertainly.

“What?! The... entire Lan Que Star in size?” Bai’s expression showed shock, stammering, “Say it again—how large exactly is your primordial universe...?”

“It’s about the size of one Lan Que Star, or a bit bigger. More precisely, about one and two-tenths times the size of Lan Que Star,” Lan Tian confirmed anxiously. “Don’t just stand there dazed—tell me, is this big or small? After all this effort, is it just average?”

“Average?! Show me an average person like that!” Bai immediately widened his eyes. “I want as many of those ‘average’ people as there are!”

“No, you tell me—is my primordial universe big or small?” Lan Tian grew impatient as Bai rambled on. Though from Bai’s expression, he guessed his primordial universe belonged to the extremely large category, he still needed explicit confirmation to feel assured.

“Big! Very big! Super big! So big it surpasses all my expectations! It’s big enough to leave me completely stunned...” Bai uttered a string of “big”s excitedly, his brows dancing and his expression animated.

“Then explain—how exactly is my primordial universe ‘big’?” Lan Tian put down his worries, curiosity replacing anxiety.

“Let me put it this way: primordial universes are generally elliptical. My master’s primordial universe’s largest cross-sectional area was about the size of a small county in ancient Earth’s Huaxia region...” Bai said with a face full of disbelief.

“For ordinary Star Radiance-level cultivators, their primordial universes’ largest cross-section is about the size of a small village. The average genius in the cosmos at most reaches the size of Ning City in ancient Huaxia. Even that peerless genius who reached the upper levels of the Absolute Heaven Tower only had a primordial universe roughly the size of the Asian continent. That alone stirred countless powerful figures to compete for him as their direct disciple...”

“Going further back through history, countless ages—I’ve found that the greatest primordial universes achieved by the most supreme figures had largest cross-sections about the size of Earth. Compared to Lan Que Star, that’s roughly three-fifths its size, sometimes even a bit smaller...”

“In other words, it’s universally recognized that the largest primordial universes max out at around Earth’s size. There are no examples larger than that...”

“But you, you’ve set a new record, surpassing the previous largest by more than double...”

“This ‘super’ primordial universe—how on earth did you manage this?” Bai suppressed his overwhelming excitement and regarded Lan Tian with the eyes of a devotee, almost as if on a pilgrimage.

It defied all logic...

Bai swore by his core computing code that, given Lan Tian’s prior accumulations, it should have been utterly impossible to generate such a colossal ‘super’ primordial universe!
