Chapter 511: The End of Chaos Beasts - 511
Quickly clearing his mind, Chaos shook his head and charged forward. As it did so, the figure around it, its Outer World, charged with it.
Chaos once again returned to its original size as it neared Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan watched Chaos and moved forward. He held out his hand and fully activated his Outer World.
The statue's clothes seemed to wave in the wind as a pressure descended upon the charging Chaos Beast. It instantly felt pressured. Chaos's charge came to a near halt, hardly moving any further, as the pressure of Zhou Fan's Outer World covered it.
Zhou Fan began to slowly close his hand, and Chaos felt as if the pressure pushing down suddenly began to squeeze him.
Zhou Fan's entire mind was replaced by the desire to squish Chaos to death like an ant.
Chaos struggled and roared as the Outer World behind him moved. With a giant roar, Zhou Fan's Outer World was pushed back. Chaos had an Outer World nearing that of a true Outer World realm cultivator, while Zhou Fan's was only at the level of an Inner World realm cultivator.
However, Zhou Fan was not willing to lose in a battle of Outer Worlds. He continued to press down, even as his arm began to tear apart and bleed. His Chaos Divine Physique instantly healed him, but he was instantly injured again.
A nonstop cycle of injuries tormented his body as the battle of Outer Worlds continued. After a five minute stalemate, Zhou Fan put everything into one last shove, pushing Chaos far away from him.
With an instant completion, he appeared behind Chaos and his Outer World deactivated. From the start, he knew he would never win in such a battle if all he used was Qi and some other means involving it.
No matter what, it was simply an impossible gap to cross. Or at least, if he only used Qi.
With a sudden appearance, a river began to flow around Zhou Fan. Chaos saw it, and through some sort of passed down instinct, fear overwhelmed it. With its Outer World fully activated, Chaos charged.
Zhou Fan pointed a finger out. Although the River of Cultivation had yet to truly recover, he did not need much from it.
An unseeable finger moved out. This was the power of Cultivation, and no cultivation could contend against it.
Chaos was not the Cosmic Dao. It could not even sense the approaching of the finger. The power of cultivation had no color, but when Zhou Fan gave it color, it could appear green. Zhou Fan did not give it a color this time.
Chaos was hit, and without even understanding anything, it paused. Then, it collapsed into Chaos Qi. The true form of a Chaos Beast was more or less Chaos Qi, the Cosmic Dao, and Cultivation all mixed together to form a beast.
The finger of cultivation took away all of Chaos Beasts cultivation, and destroyed the Cosmic Dao. All that remained was Chaos Qi.
From the cultivation of Chaos, Zhou Fan actually felt the River of Cultivation recover a bit despite using the finger of cultivation.
Zhou Fan looked at the remaining Chaos Beasts, who were all looking at him.
"The species of Chaos Beasts has existed for long enough." His voice traveled to everyone nearby and where the World Tree once was.
With the World Tree wrapped around him, and all eyes on him, Zhou Fan pointed a finger.
Countless unseeable mini fingers moved at every Chaos Beast on the battlefield.
"With my last act as the Origin God, I declare the Chaos Beasts extinguished."
After this, Zhou Fan planned to stop being a public figure. He would once again focus on cultivation without being known, as he had long ago.
As all watched, the Chaos Beasts turned into Chaos Qi. With countless piles of mist, Zhou Fan waved his hand. The Qi density of the universe began to soar once again to its peak as the Chaos Qi was split into the countless Qi's.
With everything finished, Zhou Fan sat down cross legged as a green bubble appeared around him. Zhu Yi would recognize it as the Time Bubble.
At the Inner World realm, the Time Bubble sped up time by 3,000x. With Leaf around him, Zhou Fan did not have to worry about maintaining the Time Bubble himself.
As all life watched, still in shock, Zhou Fan began to cultivate.
In a few seconds to the outside, Zhou Fan reached the God realm. No tribulation even appeared.
As an hour passed, Zhou Fan reached the True God realm. This was not only due to his talent, but due to reaching the True God realm in the past.
As he had said many times before, the difficulty in cultivating was due to him constantly forging his own path. Otherwise, his speed would be unmatched.
A week passed, and Zhou Fan reached the Outer World realm.
At this time, he stood up, took a look at everyone around him, and disappeared. When he stopped moving, he was already outside of the Zhou Filament.
Zhou Fan quickly moved through the Outer World realm and reached the Sage realm. However, this was not his peak. After a while of cultivation, totaling to about a hundred thousand years in the time bubble, Zhou Fan regained his old cultivation, finally reaching the High Sage realm, as he now called it.
Now at the High Sage realm and without the Cosmic Dao's interference, Zhou Fan could expand his mortal dao.
It moved out of the Zhou Filament, quickly covering the first universal sector and expanding onwards.
Without the hindering of the Cosmic Dao, Zhou Fan had just enough ability to cover the entire universe. Now, everything was his. Of course, this was not the end. There was still a lot more to do. He had a grand vision for not only this universe, but all of existence, even if he had to carve every inch out himself.
Now, it was time to get comfortable.
----------------------------------------------
Not much of a volume guy, but this can be considered the end of the first major part of the story.
Chapter 512: Questions - 512
Zhou Fan went to the top of the universe. The universe was a sphere, and the top seemed no different from the rest of it.
Zhou Fan drew a line that extended throughout the entirety of the top of the sphere. Although it was only a small amount of the universe, not even being a percent of a percent, this was the area he had claimed and would stay at until he was able to either leave the universe or expand it.
For the first time in a long time, he decided to build a residence, and this one would be near permanent.
A giant mansion with a green roof and many plants. He built it like a rich person's mansion on advanced mortal planets, but that was only its basic appearance. Countless arrays and formations made this the most advanced residence in the universe by far.
In addition, with his newfound control over his power, the power of cultivation, his cultivation speed would be completely different from before.
The Time bubble could also not be ignored. Leaf sat in the center of the garden that was attached to Zhou Fan's house.
Zhou Fan sat down inside. Finally, after a long time, it was time to look over everything he had and organize it.
Firstly, the River of Cultivation had completely transformed from before. In the past, it had been a placeholder that exhibited rules over the cultivation universe and prevented too much Chaos.
Now, it had become one with Zhou Fan, a part of him that was inseparable. It was the source of Zhou Fan's power, and as long as he lived, it could not be destroyed.
This also changed how he cultivated. He no longer cultivated using the power of Qi, but the power of cultivation. How this worked, he wasn't quite sure himself. He needed to figure it out.
The best way to test it was to actually test it. Zhou Fan sat down and began to cultivate, but not using Qi.
As he cultivated, he felt a power flow towards him. It was not a power that existed, but one that he created as he cultivated.
So, simply put, it seemed like he created the power of cultivation by cultivating. Sounds simple enough, even though it felt like some sort of paradox.
Now, he needed to test his cultivation speed. Zhou Fan activated the time bubble, which was completely maintained by arrays around his house and fueled by the power of cultivation turned into Qi. The exchange rate was such that even a drop from the river would last nearly an infinite time.
Time was also something he needed to address after this.
Within the Time Bubble, Zhou Fan spent a million years cultivating. With the time bubble speeding up time by 3 million times in the High Sage realm, Zhou Fan had spent less than a year cultivating on the outside.
It was an incredibly fast cultivation speed. Zhou Fan felt that he had reached the maximum limit in the 1st level of the High Sage realm. He could no longer permanently absorb the power of cultivation. Any more that he absorbed would dissipate into nothing after a period of time.
Zhou Fan observed the River of Cultivation. Different from before, it was now raging, filled with the power of cultivation.
It too had reached its limit, as its limit was the same as Zhou Fan's. Before, when Zhou Fan reached this point, all he needed to do next was breakthrough. However, with the realization of his power, the power of cultivation, it was no longer so simple.
There was no more unconscious carving of the path of cultivation. He had exited the tutorial stage, and now, he had to do everything manually.
Zhou Fan sat cross legged and looked within himself. What was breaking through? There were countless questions that Zhou Fan needed to ask himself before he could continue breaking through on his cultivation journey.
Perhaps he would even need to change how cultivation worked.
Zhou Fan envisioned cultivation like the process of water moving through a tunnel. For each level, there was one tunnel. Every ten levels, there was a new type of tunnel, different from before. Blocking these two tunnels was what was known as a bottleneck. A bottleneck's strength depends on the talent of a cultivator. For someone like Zhou Fan, the bottlenecks simply didn't exist. He still needed a certain amount of accumulation to reach the newer tunnels, aka, breaking into a new realm, but there was no trouble. He felt this clearly while recovering.
Now, what happens when all of a sudden, the tunnels end?
The first thought that popped into Zhou Fan's mind was, of course, digging further and creating more tunnels. It seemed simple, but this was just a metaphor. In reality, he could not simply build more tunnels.
What he could do was take inspiration from this. But he was stumped. For now, he would move on. Zhou Fan stopped cultivating, hoping that he would gain some sort of inspiration by the time he came back to it.
Now, he looked at time. What was time? Zhou Fan felt he was asking too many questions now, but they needed to be answered.
Time is what dictates the flow of the universe. Space is just as important. Without time, there would be no movement, and without space, there would be nowhere to move.
Zhou Fan could see time. It was like space, but unseeable to others. Zhou Fan felt like time could not affect him any longer, as long as he willed that it couldn't.
In other words, if time had no meaning, then was he immortal? It didn't feel like he was truly immortal, even if he could separate himself from time. It was more like delaying life.
In addition, Zhou Fan could see past time. He watched events over the course of the last hundred quintillion years. He saw many geniuses, and many fights.
Zhou Fan felt as if he was in a space of his own now. To put it simply, he felt like a god capable of doing anything.
It was at this time that a thought sprang up within Zhou Fan.
"What if I created my own universe?"
