Chu Tianjiao sat upon the throne.
His eyes remained fixed on Su Yu atop the arena, never blinking.
Deep within the eyes of this peak Domain Lord-level existence, who possessed nine billion drops of source blood, there flickered a rare and exceedingly complicated emotion: jealousy.
Yes, jealousy.
“Eighteen years old…”
Chu Tianjiao let out a long sigh inwardly.
“At eighteen, he’s already refined his body, spirit, and will to such an inconceivable level.”
“This is no longer a matter of being an unparalleled genius.”
“He’s a favored child blessed by the origin of the universe.”
Chu Tianjiao understood all too well what Su Yu’s foundation represented.
It meant that—
so long as Su Yu did not fall midway,
entering the black-hole level in the future would merely be a matter of time.
Achieving the Domain Lord realm would be as easy as reaching into a bag and retrieving something.
And even—
Chu Tianjiao’s breathing hitched slightly.
Even that ethereal Realm Master realm, which he himself had desperately sought for tens of thousands of years without success…
Su Yu had an excellent chance of reaching it!
“First place truly belongs to him.”
Chu Tianjiao reached the most objective conclusion in his heart.
Given the all-around crushing strength Su Yu had displayed, no one in the entire Rising Star Tournament could stand against him.
Lin Yuan could not.
Chu Wudao, even less so.
A deep unwillingness flashed through Chu Tianjiao’s eyes.
First place could be given to him.
But the prize for first place—that black-hole-level War God armament, Annihilation—absolutely could not be given to him!
Because it was far more than just a War God armament.
It was the only key capable of opening the core level of the Realm Master Divine Palace: the Primordial Divine Armament Ruins!
And hidden within the Primordial Divine Armament Ruins was the most perfect opportunity for a martial artist to break through to the black-hole level!
In the central starry sky, the black hole a martial artist condensed upon breaking through to the black-hole level was not the same for everyone. There were extremely strict distinctions between the various grades.
The lowest grade was known as the Collapsing Black Hole.
This was what the vast majority of ordinary martial artists managed to condense by exhausting their lifelong foundations. Although they entered the black-hole level, their potential was already exhausted, and they would have no hope of reaching the Domain Lord realm for the rest of their lives.
The superior grade was known as the Star Abyss Black Hole.
Only peerless geniuses from great clans, who had been nurtured with their entire race’s resources, could trigger celestial phenomena and condense such a black hole at the moment of breakthrough. Possessing a Star Abyss Black Hole granted one the qualifications to challenge the Domain Lord level.
And the highest grade was known as the Singularity Black Hole!
According to legend, only true cosmic monsters could, through endless trials of life and death as well as heaven-defying opportunities, compress their source blood to the extreme and transform it into a cosmic singularity capable of devouring everything!
Martial artists who condensed a Singularity Black Hole were invincible among those of the same level!
In the future, they were not only certain to become Domain Lords; they would even have an excellent chance of touching that ethereal Realm Master realm!
And within the Primordial Divine Armament Ruins lay an unparalleled treasure capable of guaranteeing the condensation of a Singularity Black Hole!
Not only that.
Chu Tianjiao’s breathing grew slightly more rapid.
Within the Realm Master Divine Palace, besides the Primordial Divine Armament Ruins, there was another supreme opportunity hidden inside.
It was a heaven-defying creation that could allow one to become a Domain Lord—and even determine the grade of that Domain Lord!
Just like the black-hole level, the Domain Lord level was also divided into three grades.
The lowest was the Void Domain Lord, the superior was the Galaxy Domain Lord, and the highest…
the Chaos Domain Lord!
Chu Tianjiao himself had spent hundreds of thousands of years condensing nine billion drops of source blood and had shaken the vast starry sky with his might.
But he knew the truth in his heart.
He was merely a Galaxy Domain Lord.
Compared with the legendary Chaos Domain Lord, who could make words become law and reshape the laws of the starry sky, he was still a hundred thousand miles away.
“If Wudao can obtain the Annihilation armament and enter the Primordial Divine Armament Ruins to condense a Singularity Black Hole…”
“Then he’ll have the qualifications to compete for the supreme opportunity that can grant him the status of a Chaos Domain Lord!”
“My Great Chu Imperial Family will remain immortal for ten thousand generations!”
Chu Tianjiao tightened his grip on the armrest of the throne, his knuckles turning faintly white.
His gaze shifted toward Su Yu once more.
The talent this boy possessed was simply too great.
With heaven-defying comprehension and an invincible physical body, if he obtained the Annihilation armament and entered the Realm Master Divine Palace, then the one supreme opportunity would inevitably belong to him.
“No.”
The unique ruthlessness of an emperor, along with the partiality and resolve of a father, surfaced in Chu Tianjiao’s eyes.
Of course, he was willing to devote the entire foundation of Great Chu to nurturing this unparalleled genius.
But…
“Su Yu is only eighteen.”
“He’s far too young.”
“Even if he misses this opportunity in the Realm Master Divine Palace, with his talent, he can simply spend more time exploring other ancient ruins in the depths of the starry sky. Condensing a Singularity Black Hole will still be no difficult feat.”
“He has plenty of years to spend.”
“But…”
Chu Tianjiao turned his head and glanced at Chu Wudao beside him, whose martial heart had wavered and whose face was deathly pale.
“Wudao can’t wait.”
“He’s already nearly ten thousand years old.”
“His bone age is about to exceed the Realm Master Divine Palace’s limit.”
“If he misses this opportunity, he’ll probably never have another chance in this lifetime to condense a Singularity Black Hole!”
“My son cannot afford to wait!”
As the ruler of the Great Chu Star Domain, he could admire Su Yu’s talent and might even offer him favors after the tournament in an attempt to win him over.
But as a father—
he had to show partiality when it came to this sole opportunity!
He had to seize it!
With that thought, Chu Tianjiao drew a deep breath. His powerful Domain Lord-level spiritual power instantly sealed the surrounding space, completely isolating himself and Chu Wudao from the outside world.
“Wudao.”
Chu Tianjiao’s voice was low and majestic as it exploded inside Chu Wudao’s mind.
Chu Wudao shuddered all over and returned to his senses from the depths of despair.
“Father…”
He raised his head, his eyes filled with defeat and bewilderment.
“I… I can’t beat him.”
“His physical body is far too abnormal. He even shattered Lin Yuan’s Devouring Star Demon Body. My one hundred and fifty thousand drops of source blood can’t break through his defenses at all.”
Seeing his son’s dejected appearance, Chu Tianjiao did not blame him.
Faced with that unreasonable monster, anyone would feel despair.
“I know.”
Chu Tianjiao slowly raised his right hand.
He turned his palm over.
A strange crystal radiating dazzling golden light, as though it contained an entire miniature universe, quietly floated above his palm.
Buzz—!
The instant the crystal appeared, the space around them began to tremble violently, as though it could not withstand the terrifying might contained within it.
Chu Wudao’s eyes widened as he stared at the golden crystal.
His breathing stopped instantly.
“This… what is this?!”
“The Great Chu Star Domain’s Origin Decree.”
Chu Tianjiao’s voice carried an overbearing authority that brooked no refusal.
“This is one of the ultimate trump cards safeguarding the foundation of the Great Chu Imperial Family.”
“Within it is sealed one percent of the origin power of the Great Chu Star Domain.”
Chu Tianjiao looked at Chu Wudao and spoke word by word.
“Fuse it into your heart.”
“For one day, it can forcibly elevate your one hundred and fifty thousand drops of source blood to one million drops!”
“It will allow you to temporarily enter the true black-hole level!”
Boom!
One million drops of source blood!
The true black-hole level!
Chu Wudao’s mind exploded. The despair in his eyes was instantly replaced by unprecedented fanaticism.
The black-hole level!
That was a qualitative leap!
The ultimate evolution of the level of life!
“Not only that.”
Chu Tianjiao continued to drop one bombshell after another.
“This edict also contains a Domain Lord–level Law Domain personally imprinted by Me.”
“Once activated…”
“Everything within a hundred zhang of you will become an absolute forbidden zone of the Domain Lord level!”
“Any law, will, or divine ability below the Domain Lord level will be forcibly suppressed—or even stripped away—within this domain!”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
