391: Step into the Domain Lord!

After the news of Chen Fan becoming Venerable Qiu Bai's disciple spread, the pressure on the other geniuses from his batch significantly increased.

While they were still aspiring to become disciples of an Undying being, Chen Fan was already the apprentice of a Universe Overlord.

The vast disparity was truly daunting.

Thus, spurred on by Chen Fan, more and more geniuses went to challenge the third level of the Heavenly Bridge.

This was because only by passing the third level of the Heavenly Bridge were they qualified to attend lectures and become disciples.

For a time, a large number of geniuses flocked to the Heavenly Bridge, and quite a few successfully passed.

However, at this moment, Chen Fan was already residing in Venerable Qiu Bai's mansion, frequently seeking his master's guidance on his confusions regarding the universe chaos tablet.

At the same time, Chen Fan also demonstrated his Blood Blade Manual and Time Restriction, allowing Venerable Qiu Bai to help him refine them.

Under Venerable Qiu Bai's patient guidance and instruction, Chen Fan's comprehension speed of the universe chaos tablet surged, and his understanding of the Origin Laws of metal, water, fire, time, and space also became exceptionally profound.

Finally, in the fifth year after Chen Fan became Venerable Qiu Bai's disciple, which was Chen Fan's sixth year in Primordial Chaos City, the opportunity for a breakthrough arrived!

He finally felt a natural progression, an opportune moment to directly break through and become a Territory Lord...

Within Chen Fan's internal world, on a vast, boundless five-colored continent, Chen Fan continuously pushed the expansion of his internal world with his comprehension of the five great Origin Laws: metal, water, fire, time, and space.

Normally, it would take hundreds of years to break through from Universe Rank Level Nine to a Territory Lord Rank powerhouse.

But Chen Fan's speed was unimaginably fast, astonishingly quick.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Countless dust particles and colorless mist rapidly integrated into Chen Fan's internal world, causing it to continuously expand... ten thousand li, fifty thousand li, one hundred thousand li... one million li!

Until a continent of five million li was formed, but the expansion showed no signs of stopping!

Chen Fan was stunned!

One must know that Luo Feng's previous breakthrough with his metal continent was only a hundred thousand kilometers.

Yet, his own internal world had already expanded to five million kilometers.

Amidst his surprise, Chen Fan still held some anticipation.

He wondered to what extent his internal world could expand.

When everything quieted down, Chen Fan knew that the evolution of his internal world had succeeded, forming a supercontinent a full ten million li in length and width!

"Next, it's the evolution of the life core!"

After a moment of excitement, Chen Fan's eyes returned to their calm state.

The eight spiral arms in his dantian were dazzling and beautiful, constantly emitting an intoxicating glow.

However, at this very moment, the central black hole's devouring power instantly surged by ten million times, rapidly absorbing the surrounding eight smaller black holes.

Devouring, absorbing, strengthening, giving birth.

In just a few breaths, the super-large black hole at the center rapidly collapsed, finally forming a five-colored sphere.

This was the life core!

Next, the five-colored sphere continuously shed its skin and peeled off during its expansion, until it completely occupied the previous vortex, only then did it stop...

The dual transformation of Chen Fan's Heavenly Demon Race Clone's internal world and life core also affected his Earthling true body, countless light-years away, causing it to undergo earth-shattering changes simultaneously.

Now, the cores of both the Heavenly Demon Race Clone and the Earthling true body are life cores; the destruction of either would lead to the demise of the clone or the main body, irreversibly.

Therefore, Chen Fan would be more careful and cherish his life from now on.

After stepping into Territory Lord Rank Level One, Chen Fan could clearly feel that every cell, flesh, and bone of both his Earthling true body and Heavenly Demon Race Clone had undergone an almost sublime transformation.

This transformation simultaneously brought about an even higher level of combat power!

At this moment, Chen Fan was confident he could directly pass the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

However, he was not too hasty; instead, he first familiarized himself with his evolved body.

After crossing from Universe Rank to Territory Lord Rank, the super-large black hole collapsed into a 'singularity,' which is the life core.

Although this singularity was very small, its mass was incredibly large.

When this singularity fully nurtured a world within it, that would be the time Chen Fan stepped into World Lord Rank.

By then, Chen Fan's internal world would be a self-contained alien world, allowing him to wield world power with a wave of his hand and even permit people to live within his world—simply marvelous!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile faintly.

But he was not overly eager, as he had only just stepped into Territory Lord Rank.

After leaving Primordial Chaos City, he would be able to use the nutrient cabins provided by the Virtual Universe Corporation to directly advance to Territory Lord Rank Level Nine, saving himself a significant amount of money and time.

For now, it was the right path to cultivate diligently in Primordial Chaos City.

Despite breaking through to become a Territory Lord, Chen Fan was still incredibly clear in his heart.

"A Heavenly Demon Race Clone at Territory Lord Rank Level One, whose internal world reaches ten million kilometers in length and width. What would happen if he breaks through to World Lord Rank?" Chen Fan thought in surprise, while silently marveling at the Heavenly Demon Race Clone's uniqueness and mystique!

Then, Chen Fan walked out of the cultivation room.

The vast plaza was empty.

Chen Fan stood alone in the center of the plaza, looking up at the still bright sun, feeling warm all over.

"My little disciple, congratulations on breaking through to Territory Lord Rank!"

A voice came, and Chen Fan turned to his left.

At some point, Venerable Qiu Bai, dressed in a silver robe, had appeared beside him, looking at him with a kind expression.

"Master, do you know which cultivation secret realms are best suited for improving strength?" Chen Fan asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"What level of difficulty are you referring to when you say secret realms?" Venerable Qiu Bai asked in return.

"Perhaps those from dangerous to desperate levels!" Chen Fan said.

"You rascal, even for dangerous-level cultivation missions, the mortality rate is over 50%, not to mention the desperate-level cultivation missions with a 90% mortality rate!"

"However, with your ability, it's better to first practice with dangerous-level missions before going to desperate ones, and even then, you can only attempt desperate missions after cultivating a clone!"

Venerable Qiu Bai looked at Chen Fan, earnestly instructing him.

"This matter, disciple understands." Chen Fan respectfully replied.

"However, disciple wishes to increase his strength faster, and to do so, he must undergo trials of life and death, and battles of blood and fire, in order to improve his strength at the fastest possible speed." Flames subtly flickered in Chen Fan's eyes, showing his unwavering determination.

"You fellow, you're exactly like me back then!" Taking a deep look at Chen Fan, Venerable Qiu Bai showed a helpless, wry smile.

Indeed, like master, like disciple!

"I understand your desire to quickly improve your strength; after all, I've experienced it too, but..." Venerable Qiu Bai paused, then raised his voice by half a beat and said, "Some things still need to be taken step by step!"

"For example, you can first go to Blood Luo World, then venture into the Prison Battlefield and Nine Star Sea. After returning, your strength will have improved to varying degrees, all quite considerable!"

"Once these three dangerous-level cultivation missions are completed, you can then challenge desperate-level missions!"

"Out of the eighteen desperate missions, I don't recommend any of them to you. There's only one, above desperate, that you can try with a clone!" Venerable Qiu Bai said with a mysterious expression.

His demeanor immediately piqued Chen Fan's curiosity.

"Please enlighten me, Master!" Chen Fan said respectfully.

"Desolate Ancient Prison!"

He spoke each word distinctly.
