NOVEL NEXT Chapter 188: The Urgency of Hong Meng
Both methods for breaking through to the "Origin Point Stage" had their pros and cons for Roy.
The first method's advantage was that Roy would break through very quickly.
Although the number of black holes in his body was countless, with Roy's current strength, it wouldn't take much time to compress a small black hole.
Even with such a large number of black holes, it would take at most tens of trillions of years to break through from the Black Hole Stage to the Origin Point Stage.
The second advantage was that since Roy had so many "Origin Points" in his body, when he broke through from the "Origin Point Stage" to the "Qiankun Realm," the number of Qiankun Worlds he would open up would be comparable to the material planes within Hong Meng's subordinate planes.
When Roy broke through from the "Qiankun Realm" to the "Cosmos Realm," the parallel spaces within the universes he created would likely outnumber all the planes in Hong Meng's main universe plus its four subordinate universes combined.
However, using the second method to break through would significantly delay Roy's breakthrough speed.
Whether it was fully merging all the black holes in his body to form one colossal black hole, or finally compressing this colossal black hole into a single "Origin Point," neither was a simple task.
Doing so would result in Roy opening up only one "Qiankun World."
When this Qiankun shattered, the resulting universe would also not contain many worlds.
But, this way had one greatest advantage.
That was, the "Qiankun World" opened up by the strongest "Origin Point" would undoubtedly be the most stable and powerful world in terms of both space and time.
At that time, the "World Power" Roy controlled would absolutely far surpass Hong Meng's.
With that in mind, Roy already had his answer regarding which path to take and how to break through.
...
At this moment, Roy was fully focused on compressing the "black holes" within his body.
Under Roy's control, these black holes, surrounded by rings of gray halos, began to merge with each other, forming larger "black holes."
To Roy's surprise, while the initial merging of two black holes was indeed difficult, once two black holes merged to form an even more powerful black hole, Roy didn't have to put in much effort afterward.
He simply needed to guide the countless black holes in his body to be absorbed into the one at the very center.
As the number of absorbed black holes increased, the largest black hole within Roy's body also gradually expanded and grew, its suction power becoming stronger.
Eventually, without Roy's direct control, this colossal black hole, relying solely on its immense gravitational pull, began to attract and devour countless other black holes, growing stronger.
The black holes within Roy's body served as conduits connecting his internal world to the Hong Meng world.
When Roy first entered the Primordial Space, these black holes had absorbed a vast amount of Hong Meng Qi, bringing the concentration of Hong Meng Qi within Roy's body to roughly the same level as that in the Primordial Space. They had filled his internal world before ceasing their absorption of Hong Meng Qi from the Primordial Space.
But now, as the black holes within Roy's body merged and grew larger, once they had all coalesced into a single colossal black hole, the immense suction power of this massive black hole rapidly condensed the Hong Meng Qi within Roy's body into tangible light. This left a significant empty space within Roy's body.
Consequently, Roy's body seemed to be an outward manifestation of the black hole in his internal world. An endless stream of Hong Meng Qi formed a giant funnel, pouring madly into Roy's body.
Outside Roy's small courtyard, Hong Meng observed the boundless vortex of Hong Meng Qi above the sky of his domain. He took a sip of osmanthus tea and let out a sigh.
"As expected of someone who comprehended the mysteries of the soul even in a subordinate universe. Such ambition and talent are truly astonishing."
"Alas, looking at the technique my second brother created, it's possible his Hong Meng Body could even be cultivated to rival the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body of a Second-level Hong Meng Controller."
"The Xuanhuang Indestructible Body achieved through opening up universes then might even surpass mine."
"Tsk tsk, I never thought I, Hong Meng, would ever fear being surpassed..."
"I should start thinking about how to cultivate, otherwise, if my strength ends up being less than my second brother's, where will I put the face of being the number one person in the Primordial Space..."
With that said, Hong Meng smiled slightly and walked back into his small thatched hut.
As the first being born in the Primordial Space, Hong Meng was naturally gifted with a primordial Hong Meng Body.
After refining the accompanying supreme treasure, the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, he gained control over all energies within the Primordial Space. He evolved Hong Meng Qi into the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—giving rise to yin and yang, and using lightning as judgment. He successfully opened up a universe and obtained the Xuanhuang Qi born from the universe's creation, cultivating the most powerful "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body."
Of course, methods like controlling Hong Meng Qi to evolve into other energies were bestowed upon Hong Meng by the Hong Meng Golden Ranking. As for combat techniques and cultivation methods, Hong Meng had not created any.
In Hong Meng's opinion, having already cultivated the most powerful "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body," capable of destroying worlds with a mere gesture—and he meant truly destroying worlds—who could possibly be stronger than him?
Even if other Hong Meng Controllers appeared in the Primordial Space in the future, opened up universes through the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, and cultivated the "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body," with the supreme treasure Hong Meng Golden Ranking, he would still be the strongest.
But now, after witnessing Roy's cultivation, Hong Meng felt a bit insecure.
His second brother's momentum was quite formidable...
Fortunately, as the creator of the universe, Hong Meng possessed the ability to see through the destinies of beings.
The myriad of geniuses in the subordinate universes of the main universe, and the diverse techniques they created, held no secrets from Hong Meng.
Now, Hong Meng was absorbing the concepts from these techniques, intending to create a few combat moves of his own!
And, to seek a path beyond the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body!
...
In the Azure Mansion, the current Prefect of the Azure Mansion was Bru, the eldest elder of the Azure Dragon Clan, one of the Four Divine Beast Families.
At this moment, Elder Bru was respectfully bowing to a person in black robes.
This respect was not feigned.
"Elder Bru of the Azure Dragon Clan greets the envoy."
Logically speaking, after Gaia became the Water Sovereign, Bru had become the second most powerful and influential person in the Azure Dragon Clan, second only to the Clan Leader Gaisleith.
Even if the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan, Gaisleith, were present, Bru had never been this respectful.
But Bru made no compromises in this bow.
Bru was a third-generation member of the Four Divine Beast Family. When he was born, Gaia was still the Grand Elder of the Azure Dragon Clan.
He knew that besides the four Old Ancestors of the Four Divine Beast Family, there was a fifth Old Ancestor.
The Fifth Ancestor's contributions to the Four Divine Beast Family were no less than those of the four Old Ancestors.
Both Elder Grand Elder Gaia becoming a Sovereign and Aunt Tina becoming a Sovereign relied on this Fifth Ancestor.
...
Lao Liu isn't feeling well today, so I'm just posting this much and going to sleep. I'll see if I can write another chapter when I wake up tonight.
