Boom!
In the heavens and earth, a stream of chaotic energy swirled around. Although the flow of time in this area was terrifying, the chaotic aura here was becoming increasingly dense. Perhaps it was because very few people ever entered this place, making the chaotic energy particularly rich.
Moreover, Qin Chen activated the black scale armor within him. The chaotic energies spread over the black scales, pulsating with the breath of the universe's creation and primordial chaos, giving Qin Chen a sense that this object would provide immense help in his breakthrough to the Venerable Realm.
Boom!
Qin Chen activated the Nine Star Divine Emperor Art, swallowing one pill after another into his body. For this day, Qin Chen had waited far too long and prepared exceedingly well. The Holy Veins of the surrounding Venerables continuously surged into his body, nourishing Qin Chen's physical form.
Whoosh!
A vast amount of Venerable energy entered Qin Chen's body. His rate of absorbing the Venerable Holy Veins was astonishing; in less than half an hour, an entire Holy Vein seemed to evaporate as it wildly congregated towards Qin Chen, who directly absorbed it into his body.
Such a rate of absorbing the Venerable Holy Veins was simply monstrous. If other Venerables were to witness this, they would surely be dumbfounded. Although Qin Chen was not even a Venerable, his speed in absorbing the Holy Veins was more terrifying than that of a peak Human Venerable, and even compared favorably with an average Earth Venerable.
How could such a small body contain so much energy?
Qin Chen's physical body had already undergone immense transformation through the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Way, becoming incredibly tough and robust. Additionally, under the genetic enhancement of the Annihilation Crystal Tablet, every one of his cells contained boundless space, capable of devouring vast amounts of Venerable power.
The countless cells within Qin Chen's body were like hungry beggars, frantically consuming massive amounts of Venerable power.
Gradually, after absorbing sufficient Venerable power, Qin Chen's body began to undergo a metamorphosis. The power within him surged like a vast ocean, and the presence of a Venerable began to emerge from within Qin Chen's body.
This feeling was one of transcending the Heavenly Law.
The Heavenly Law is majestic and formidable, yet at this moment, Qin Chen felt as if he was gradually standing above the Heavenly Law. The so-called Heavenly Law is merely a fragment of will governing the operations of the heavenly realm, embodying some rules of the universe, but it is not the complete set of cosmic rules; rather, it is a manifestation of the universe's essence at the level of rules.
Venerables can transcend the Heavenly Law, but what they transcend is merely the power of those rules within the celestial realm, not the constraints of the entire universe.
To truly break free from the confines of the universe, even a Supreme cannot accomplish this. Only the legendary existences of the Overlord Realm have a slight chance.
However, this was still quite distant from Qin Chen.
Qin Chen slowly sank into a new insight, where various Legacies emerged within his body. These Legacies came from all over the universe and various races, deepening Qin Chen's understanding of the Heavenly Law and gradually touching the barrier of the Venerable Realm.
When Qin Chen’s cultivation brushed against that barrier, just before breaking through, he suddenly trembled. His consciousness created ripples that spread around him, and an elusive aura began to extend outward.
This was the embryonic form of the Venerable Domain. Qin Chen immediately understood; he had not expected that even before upgrading to a Venerable, he had touched upon the embryonic form of the Venerable Domain. This was far more powerful than the spatial constraints he had previously comprehended. Qin Chen forgot about touching the barriers of the Venerable cultivation and focused entirely on expanding his domain.
