113: Source Core Recognizes Master, Above Destiny

The instant Yun Feng's fingertip touched that faint Chaos light spot, time and space seemed to completely lose meaning.

There was no anticipated energy explosion, nor any earth-shattering phenomena. That origin core light spot, like a wanderer finding its home, instantly became docile, transforming into a wisp of incomparably pure Chaos Qi Flow, containing the ultimate Profound Truths of "non-existence" and "existence," quietly merging into his body along Yun Feng's fingertip.

The process was unbelievably calm.

However, on the level of Yun Feng's perception, an all-consuming tempest was raging!

The moment that wisp of origin core Qi integrated into his Chaos Origin, it was as if a singularity capable of creating worlds had been tossed into a calm lake! His Chaos Origin, which had already reached the Peak of the Heavenly Mandate Rank and seemed flawless in its Perfection, was injected with the most fundamental vitality, beginning an unprecedented violent collapse and reconstruction!

This was not an accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap —a fundamental transformation in the level of life and the comprehension of rules!

His consciousness was infinitely elevated, seemingly transcending the constraints of his Physical Body and merging into the underlying Law network of the Endless Void Sea. He "saw" the initial form of energy, the constituent cornerstones of matter, the trajectory of time's flow, the intricate folds of space... Countless Profound Truths of Law that previously required deduction and analysis were now clearly presented, like lines in his palm.

A realization —"I am the Law, and the Law is me" —surged into his heart.

He understood that the Heavenly Mandate Rank merely granted the preliminary qualification to "borrow" and "influence" rules within the existing framework. But now, under the baptism of the void origin core, the "Source of Ten Thousand Laws," he was advancing toward the Realm of truly "controlling" and "defining" rules!

This was a brand new Realm, one that surpassed Heavenly Mandate! For now, it could be called —Chaos Sovereign!

He did not know how much time had passed; it could have been an instant, or perhaps eternity.

Yun Feng slowly opened his eyes.

His appearance hadn't changed much, but his deep eyes seemed to reflect the life and death of the entire Universe, containing an unspeakable majesty and antiquity. The aura around him was completely contained, returning to its original simplicity; if he did not deliberately reveal it, even standing right in front of someone, he would seem like nothing more than an ordinary Mortal.

With a slight shift of thought, he did not mobilize any Soul Power; he merely "willed" that there should be a cluster of stars in the empty space ahead.

The next moment, specks of starlight were born from the nothingness, rapidly evolving. A miniature yet incredibly real, dazzling galaxy slowly began to rotate before his eyes, radiating powerful vitality and the power of Law!

What he spoke became Law; what he wished for was accomplished! This was no longer borrowing rules, but directly defining rules within a certain scope!

He looked once more at the Chaos Vortex and the three guardians. Now, in his eyes, the Chaos Vortex —which was powerful enough to make Heavenly Mandate Peak experts despair —had its operating patterns, energy nodes, and even the "definition" of its existence clearly visible. He just needed a thought to completely dismantle it or transform it into gentle energy that nourished the world.

As for the three guardians that had lost their power source, the residual control marks from ancient times deep within their cores could not hide from his sight. With a casual wave, he completely purified them. The three behemoths trembled slightly, and a faint spark of instinctive intelligence returned to their hollow eyes. They transmitted feelings of awe and submission toward Yun Feng before slowly sinking into the surrounding void, continuing their duty of "guarding," but no longer targeting Yun Feng.

Yun Feng smiled slightly, choosing not to take them. At his level, external objects were no longer necessary.

Feeling the Chaos Sovereign power within him —which had perfectly fused with the origin core Qi and seemed to possess infinite possibilities —his gaze returned to the star map fragment in his hand.

The fragment was now faintly warm. What it pointed to was no longer a specific coordinate, but a mysterious "calling," originating from the place where the void origin core was first born, or rather, where it first "split." That location might hold deeper secrets about the Void Sea, or even... clues to other origin cores.

"The road is still long," Yun Feng murmured, his eyes holding no trace of complacency, only the desire to explore higher Realms.

He took a single step, and his figure was no longer in the Void Graveyard.

The next moment, he appeared directly inside the Cloud Court Star Observation Hall, as if he had never left.

Nie Li, Yun Hao, and Yun Qiao, who had been waiting there, immediately came forward. Although Yun Feng's aura was contained, they could vaguely sense that the Court Master before them seemed somewhat different —a profoundness stemming from the very essence of life, one that involuntarily inspired reverence.

"Court Master, you've returned!" Nie Li said respectfully.

"Mm." Yun Feng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three. With a casual point, three streaks of Chaos spiritual light, containing his brand new comprehension of the rules, entered the centers of their foreheads. "Contemplate these carefully; they will aid your Breakthrough."

The three trembled violently, feeling countless previously obscure and difficult obstacles instantly open up, and their cultivation Bottlenecks subtly loosening. Overjoyed, they quickly bowed in thanks.

Yun Feng looked out at the prosperous Cloud Court and the distant starry sky, his tone carrying a hint of relaxation and anticipation:

"Get ready. Once you have digested what you've gained this time, perhaps we should go explore... somewhere much further away."
