430: Chapter 430 Breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm, Primordial Realm

He couldn't help but murmur, "I wonder if the attacks of this Grandmist Divine Lightning can make my Invincible Domain shake at all?"

Nowadays, Cao Yang's Divine Sense had reached an unbelievable level.

His Divine Sense felt boundless; as long as he existed, his Divine Sense would monitor every corner within the range of his Invincible Domain at all times.

However, this was not achieved overnight.

In the past, Cao Yang's Divine Sense was much weaker than it was now, and he certainly could not, as he did now, monitor the entire Invincible Domain naturally without needing to take the initiative.

Precisely because of this, if he were to encounter a sneak attack from a powerhouse in the Transcendence Realm, since the gap in Divine Sense between the two sides was too great, with the enemy's Divine Sense far exceeding his own, Cao Yang would very likely be killed by the enemy in a single blow within the Invincible Domain because he wouldn't have time to react.

Of course, this was only if one did not consider the existence of the System.

In reality, with the System present, such a situation was absolutely impossible to occur.

The situation was different now; even if the System were absent, a powerhouse in the Transcendence Realm could no longer hope to kill Cao Yang through a sneak attack.

Furthermore, even if an existence more powerful than those in the Transcendence Realm were to come and sneak attack, it would still fail to pose any threat to Cao Yang.

The reason was simple: Cao Yang's Divine Sense had now reached an unprecedented height, automatically monitoring the range of the Invincible Domain at all times.

This automatic monitoring was not intentional, but as natural as human breathing.

As long as Cao Yang was alive, his Divine Sense would continuously monitor everything around him like breathing.

Once he detected any anomaly, Cao Yang would react at the very first moment and quickly kill the enemy.

This was the immense transformation Cao Yang experienced regarding his Divine Sense after breaking through to the Transcendence Realm.

His monitoring within the Invincible Domain had become an instinct, just like human breathing, requiring no conscious effort to drive it.

Looking back, Cao Yang's Invincible Domain had once had so-called "loopholes," but strictly speaking, these could not be counted as true loopholes.

It was merely because the Cao Yang of that time had limited cognition, which gave powerhouses an opportunity to exploit, allowing them a chance to try and harm Cao Yang through sneak attacks.

However, the Cao Yang of today was no longer the same as he once was, and those former hidden dangers no longer existed.

Cao Yang's Invincible Domain was initially limited to that insignificant small city around the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

If it had always maintained such a scale, then from the moment Cao Yang first obtained the Invincible Domain, he would have been able to remain in an invincible state forever, with no one able to kill him.

However, as time passed, Cao Yang's ambition gradually expanded.

In order to expand his sphere of influence, he resolutely extended the Invincible Domain outward.

This process was not smooth sailing, but relying on his extraordinary wisdom and powerful strength, Cao Yang gradually conquered the major forces of the Immortal Realm.

He first brought these forces under the banner of the Heavenly Court, making them a part of the Heavenly Court.

Then, Cao Yang went a step further, merging the Heavenly Court directly with these forces, causing the scale and influence of the Heavenly Court to be greatly enhanced.

When Cao Yang stepped into the Divine Realm, his Invincible Domain once again displayed an astonishing ability to expand.

Relying on his own powerful strength, which was like that of a Saint, Cao Yang quickly unified the major forces of the Divine Realm with an overwhelming posture.

Under his pressure, these forces chose to submit one after another, becoming vassals of the Heavenly Court.

By this point, Cao Yang's Invincible Domain had expanded to every corner of the Divine Realm, and the scale of its range was staggering.

This was the scale of the Invincible Domain now; it witnessed Cao Yang's rise and glory all along the way.

This expansion of the Invincible Domain, on the surface, seemed to make Cao Yang's invincible range even broader.

After all, the expansion of the Invincible Domain meant he could more easily bring enemies into it, and at any time, he could effortlessly kill any enemy who entered his Invincible Domain.

However, the Rank of the Invincible Domain, or rather its existence, was simply too Heaven-Defying.

Every time it expanded a little, the degree of Cao Yang's unconscious control over this Domain would change, becoming more difficult.

Although with the continuous Breakthrough of his Realm, Cao Yang's own Divine Sense was also gradually strengthening, compared to the invincible existence of the Invincible Domain, his rate of enhancement was still far from enough.

This led to a problem: although Cao Yang's Invincible Domain was constantly expanding, he could not achieve the same unconscious control over the newly added areas as he could over the original areas.

This meant that in battle, he might make mistakes due to his unfamiliarity with the new areas, giving the enemy an opportunity to exploit.

At the very beginning, Cao Yang did not pay too much attention to these subtle changes.

After all, his initial plan was to expand the Heavenly Court's sphere of influence through his subordinates, eventually achieving the goal of unifying the Divine Realm and the Saint Realm.

However, as time passed, he gradually realized that this plan was not feasible.

Although he possessed powerful forces, conquering the entire Great Universe, or even just the mere Saint Realm, was not an easy task.

Facing such a huge challenge, Cao Yang eventually had to abandon that ambitious plan.

Later, when Cao Yang broke through to the Source Realm, he did indeed feel some subtle changes.

However, because they still maintained an invincible status within the Invincible Domain, and he knew nothing about the power of the Transcendence Realm, he did not take those slight changes to heart.

In his view, within the Invincible Domain, no one could pose a threat to him, let alone kill him within this Domain.

Therefore, he chose to ignore those slight changes and continued to focus on his own cultivation and development.

However, when Cao Yang encountered that Guardian of the River of Time, he was shocked to realize that his perception had a serious deviation.

It turned out that the expansion of the Invincible Domain was not as perfect and flawless as he had imagined.

Although this Domain seemed impregnable, it actually provided those mysterious existences, which could not be described in words, a tiny, extremely slight chance of success—to sneak attack and kill Cao Yang within the Invincible Domain.

Although this possibility was extremely slim, for Cao Yang, it was still a hidden danger that could not be ignored.

However, faced with this dilemma, he was helpless, because he could no longer change the current state of the Invincible Domain.

Fortunately, in the subsequent journey, Cao Yang did not encounter opponents that were too powerful.

Although he did encounter some enemies with decent strength along the way, none were enough to pose a fatal threat to him.

Fortunately, now that Cao Yang had successfully broken through to the Transcendence Realm, he had finally made up for the defects left behind by the previous expansion of the Invincible Domain.

Now, even without relying on the help of the System, it was absolutely impossible for any existence to launch a sneak attack on Cao Yang within the Invincible Domain and kill him.

Not only that, the core of the Invincible Domain—the Heavenly Emperor Hall—had already been incorporated into his Inner Universe back when Cao Yang broke through to the Chaos Realm.

This meant that no matter where Cao Yang was, the place where he was located was where the Invincible Domain was located.

In this vast Divine Realm, there was a special area whose size was exactly equivalent to the Divine Realm.

This area was where Cao Yang's Invincible Domain was located.

This Invincible Domain was not fixed, but would change its position accordingly as Cao Yang moved.

When Cao Yang entered his own Inner Universe, the external Invincible Domain would also follow him like a shadow into the Inner Universe.

The realization of this ability was entirely due to the powerful Divine Sense Cao Yang obtained after breaking through to the Transcendence Realm.

Cao Yang's Breakthrough not only brought about changes in his Divine Sense, but also caused his Chaos body to undergo a qualitative leap.

Nowadays, his body had evolved into a Grandmist Divine Body, a type of divine body whose Rank far surpassed that of a Chaos body, and its power could be described as incomparable.

With such a powerful Grandmist Divine Body, Cao Yang's strength had been greatly enhanced.

Even if faced with countless Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses like Jinwu Ji, he would not be afraid at all.

Cao Yang firmly believed that with his current strength, even if he were to engage in a Dao debate with these powerhouses, he would absolutely defeat them in minutes.

Cao Yang pondered to himself that if he did not deliberately restrain his aura, perhaps women who had not yet reached the Chaos Emperor Realm, like his Revered Master Ouyang Liuli, would be crushed into ashes the moment they came anywhere near him by his powerful aura.

Even for an Advanced Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse like Jinwu Ji, it would likely be difficult to withstand the impact of his aura; not only would she suffer heavy injuries instantly, but she might even fall directly.

Meanwhile, Cao Yang's Inner Universe had also undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

The original Great Universe had now quietly evolved into half a Chaos Divine Realm.

To be precise, it was not half a Chaos World, but rather that countless Chaos Qi had surged forth within his Inner Universe.

Many places that originally had no living beings were now covered by Chaos Qi, gradually evolving into Chaos areas.

The entire Inner Universe was showing a trend of evolving towards a Chaos World.

What made Cao Yang frown was that the number of Forbidden Grounds in his Inner Universe had actually become more and more numerous!

These Forbidden Grounds were like mysterious riddles, and even Cao Yang, as the Revered Master of the Inner Universe, could not pry into their mysteries.

Even though he had now broken through to the Transcendence Realm and his strength had greatly increased, he still gained nothing regarding these Forbidden Grounds of the Inner Universe, just like those mysterious areas within his Heavenly Emperor Hall, which were unfathomable.

Just as Cao Yang was immersed in the feeling of the changes in his body after breaking through to the Transcendence Realm, the huge black hole above the Chaos suddenly underwent an astonishing change!

The original black hole had now transformed into a purple-gold hole, with the entrance flickering with dazzling light, as if it contained endless energy.

What was even more shocking was that the Grandmist Divine Lightning within the purple-gold hole seemed to have signs of descending, and the violent energy fluctuations made one shudder with fear.

Seeing this, Cao Yang thought for a moment and finally decided to take decisive action.

He did not hesitate to take all the women of the Golden Crow Clan and all the members of the Golden Crow Clan into his Heavenly Emperor Hall.

He did this not because he lacked confidence in his own strength, but because he was worried that the power of the Grandmist Divine Lightning was too terrifying; once it affected them, he might not be able to save all the women in time.

At this moment, Cao Yang only needed a single thought to easily complete these tasks.

One had to know that even the super clan-protecting formation set up by a Transcendence Realm powerhouse of the Golden Crow Clan in the Golden Crow Great World could not stop Cao Yang's will.

Although this formation was set up by a Transcendence Realm powerhouse, it was ultimately just a formation, and having gone through the vicissitudes of time, its power had already been greatly reduced.

By comparison, Cao Yang was a genuine Transcendence Realm powerhouse; once his original will took action, this formation was simply vulnerable to a single blow and could not pose any obstacle to him at all.

Just as Cao Yang had finished gathering the women and the members of the Golden Crow Clan, the Grandmist Divine Lightning suddenly descended from above the Chaos.

At first, it was just countless streaks of Grandmist Divine Lightning evolved from Grandmist Divine Lightning, but even so, its power was still extremely powerful and terrifyingly abnormal.

Wherever the Grandmist Divine Lightning passed, the Chaos space-time was instantly annihilated, and it was direct annihilation, not shattering.

This powerful force was staggering; the power of the Grandmist Divine Lightning was simply too terrifying.

Fortunately, the Chaos living beings in the places where the Grandmist Divine Lightning passed were saved by the chaos consciousness one step ahead of time; otherwise, those Chaos living beings would have been bathed in blood—or rather, it would be more accurate to say they would have turned directly into ashes.

Countless streaks of Grandmist Divine Lightning bombarded the Invincible Domain of Cao Yang and simply vanished; the Invincible Domain did not shake in the slightest.

Such Grandmist Divine Lightning bombarded Cao Yang directly for a month before it disappeared, but it did not even touch Cao Yang's clothes; it was directly absorbed by the Invincible Domain and then erased.

The purple-gold Lightning Tribulation above the Chaos gradually became smaller, as if this thrilling Undergoing Tribulation was about to end.

However, just when Cao Yang thought everything had settled, a strange change suddenly occurred.

He saw a huge golden palm descend from the sky like a mountain, passing straight through the purple-gold hole and grabbing fiercely towards the direction where Cao Yang was located.

This sudden change caught Cao Yang by surprise, and he roared furiously, "Presumptuous!"

Accompanied by Cao Yang's angry shout, he did not hesitate to use his ultimate move—the Grandmist Profound World Palm.

This palm contained endless power, like the Hongmeng Divine Power when the Grandmist first opened, and it slapped towards that golden giant hand with an unstoppable force.

In an instant, the two powerful attacks collided with a bang in the air, emitting an earth-shattering loud noise.

The shockwave generated by the collision swept through the surroundings like a violent storm, and the surrounding Void Realm was torn into black cracks before being annihilated.

However, what was unexpected was that after the opponent's golden palm collided with Cao Yang's Grandmist Profound World Palm, it actually shattered instantly like porcelain, turning into countless golden fragments that floated in the air.

And Cao Yang's giant palm did not stop in the slightest, continuing to bombard the inside of the purple-gold hole with the force of a thunderbolt.

Just a few breaths later, a shrill scream came from inside the purple-gold hole: "Ah!"

This scream resounded throughout the entire Chaos, making one's hair stand on end.

"Fellow Daoist, this human tribulation is also a part of the Grandmist Divine Tribulation!" Following immediately after, a voice filled with extreme terror came from the purple-gold hole.

"Get lost, what kind of bullshit human tribulation is that? If you scream again, I will kill you!"

Cao Yang roared angrily at the purple-gold hole, and the purple-gold hole slowly disappeared, with no more sounds coming from it.

It was not that Cao Yang didn't want to kill the other party, but the long-range attack had already weakened his strike, especially that purple-gold hole, which had weakened a great deal of the power of that palm strike.

Cao Yang had not expected that there would be some kind of human tribulation after the Grandmist Divine Lightning; it was truly absurd.

If it had been an ordinary Transcendence Realm Breakthrough, the person would probably have been seriously injured by the person just now.
