Chang Li Yao stood at the peak of the Primordial Expanse, surrounded by fragments of Heavenly Dao energy scattered across countless realms. His aura was overwhelming, bending reality itself, yet a stubborn irritation lingered in his mind.
Ugh… I can't believe I'm actually thinking about another breakthrough, he muttered, rubbing his temples. I already completed all Heavenly Dao stages… why is the universe forcing me again?!
[System Notice: Residual Heavenly Dao Potential Detected. Optional Breakthrough Available.]
Chang Li Yao squinted. Optional, it said. That was… actually interesting. If he played it carefully, he could break through on his own terms, not the system's.
He drew in the energy of every Heavenly Dao Fragment, every ripple of law he had encountered. Space warped beneath his feet. Lightning danced across his body, intertwining with death, fire, ice, and the five elements. His Purple Bamboo Bloodline pulsed, amplifying the flow.
Fine. If the universe wants me to advance… I'll do it my way.
He focused.
Reality Imprint: The very world bent to him, leaving afterimages that acted as stabilizers for the breakthrough.
Time Echo: Prevented catastrophic miscalculations, allowing him to push through the most dangerous stage transitions.
Primordial Comprehension: Accelerated law mastery, letting him fully absorb the essence of the Heavenly Dao.
A surge of raw energy exploded outward. Mountains cracked. Clouds swirled into cosmic whirlpools. The fragments of Heavenly Dao energy resonated violently, merging into his body, soul, and mind.
[Breakthrough Points Gained: 500+]
[Automatic Realm Breakthrough Triggered: Complete mastery of Heavenly Dao achieved.]
Chang Li Yao screamed as the laws of the universe whispered their secrets. He felt the boundaries between himself and reality blur. Space, time, life, death, and the primordial laws fused within him.
Ugh… I'm so powerful, but still… I hate how much this hurts!
When the surge subsided, Chang Li Yao hovered above the shattered plateau, glowing with the light of absolute comprehension. He was no longer just a cultivator he was a master of the Heavenly Dao itself.
Top tier cultivators who had watched from afar fell to their knees in awe and terror. Even saints could barely comprehend the aura that now radiated from him.
Chang Li Yao wiped sweat from his brow, muttering sarcastically:
"Congratulations, me… you're officially a walking cosmic headache. The system can't touch me. Saints can't touch me. And Hong Mang World? If you show up, I'll personally reorganize the place until it's… slightly less annoying."
With full mastery of Heavenly Dao, broken abilities, and control over the Primordial World, he now had the freedom to manipulate existence itself. Yet, true to form, he remained frustrated by the sheer effort it had taken.
"I didn't even want this…" he groaned, floating above the Primordial Expanse. "But… fine. Universe, congratulations. You made me unstoppable. But don't think for a second this means I like it."
And so, Chang Li Yao, master of the Heavenly Dao, wielder of broken abilities, and reluctant architect of the Primordial World, prepared for the next stage of existence a confrontation with forces beyond even his comprehension, including the eventual looming threat of Hong Mang World.
