Chapter 255: Accidentally Stepped On

Cosmic Level Lord?

Ye Chen recognized the opponent’s status.

This universe he occupied must be the territory of this Cosmic Level big shot. To fully control it required eliminating the current ruler – similar to imperial usurpation in mortal dynasties, where only one monarch could exist. Yet Ye Chen held little regard for Wan Lei Lord’s universe.

Too weak.

Even if seized, such universe couldn’t serve as foundation. It couldn’t even help achieve immortality, much less transcendence.

Having a creator-level mentor meant transcending worlds became basic expectation.

Thus Ye Chen chose another path – hunting for strongest unclaimed universe. Others considered this impossible since all universes were painstakingly cultivated by Cosmic Level Lords from void. “Unclaimed” shouldn’t exist.

“Cheats make everything easier.”

Ye Chen checked his golden finger. Since reaching Cosmic Level, the system interface had shown new options:

[Claim lordship over newly integrated real universe in Star Sea?]

Real universe.

He finally understood after his teacher’s guidance. Before entering Star Sea, he’d attended class reunion where disaster struck – courtesy of teacher’s enemy Giant Snake. That attack killed him, disqualifying him from real world conquest. Fortunately, his extradimensional teacher helped reclaim control through multiple world mergers.

Now the real world blended into Star Sea game world, erasing boundaries. This gave Ye Chen another chance to seize real universe.

“Those two Green Star classmates from Newbie Village must be real world natives too.”

Ye Chen remembered fellow victims dumped into Star Sea. To higher beings, they were just collateral damage – like ants crushed carelessly underfoot.

“Might as well send them home now.”

Previously impossible, but Cosmic Level power allowed realm rewriting. Fixing a city posed no challenge. Even rule-based limitations didn’t matter anymore.

Do what’s possible, keep conscience clear.

“Gone?”

Awakened Wan Lei Lord scanned surroundings suspiciously. The probing consciousness had vanished. Such unpredictability hadn’t occurred in ages.

“Could that unknown Cosmic Level be the outer demon wanted by Immortals?”

Wan Lei assumed human form, hastily flying toward kingdom of God…

Unaware and unconcerned, Ye Chen focused on stabilized external situation. He confirmed [Yes] on golden finger interface.

External power cascaded down as world rules nourished him. His consciousness glimpsed the newly merged universe within Star Sea – completely unoccupied, devoid of Cosmic Level presence.

Merge!

Ye Chen’s consciousness dissolved into stardust, permeating real universe.

In that moment, Ye Chen’s golden finger forcibly stabilized his elevated Cosmic Level realm. From then on, he became a true Cosmic Level entity – a real world universe Lord surpassing all Cosmic Level beings in the Star Sea dimension.

“Nearly invincible now.”

Ye Chen felt the power flowing through his veins, experiencing an odd sensation in his chest. At this stage, he could finally comprehend the world’s true scale.

Six universes.

Three divine kingdoms!

The Star Sea contained six universes at maximum capacity. Through his golden finger’s manipulation of the real universe, Ye Chen had created an unprecedented seventh realm beyond worldly constraints – the fundamental origin of all existence.

Beyond these seven universes stretched the World Barrier, marking the edge of creation. His mentor Zuo Meng existed beyond this boundary as a transcendent creator deity.

“Immortals are just Cosmic Level beings granted eternal status through extreme cultivation. Their power comes from heavenly blessings.” Ye Chen mused while grasping cosmic truths. “With my origin universe, I’ve essentially achieved immortality already.”

Having transcended worldly knowledge, Ye Chen declared: “Time to end this.”

Outside Emperor Star Region…

Black Blood Realm Master rode crimson light into the sector. As ruler of Blood Lord Realm, he needed to identify the mysterious Galactic Level intruder – preferably subjugating them, or failing that, eradicating the anomaly threatening his eternal reign.

“Where’s that Galactic rat hiding?”

The tyrant floated through cosmic void, eyeing Emperor Star Region’s swirling nebulae. Impatience colored his thoughts: “Simpler to drench this Star Region in blood than search manually.”

To this immortal being, lives meant less than stardust. Mass slaughter would flush out any survivor, and repopulation required mere centuries of sleep. With mental command, his blood sea began spreading through planetary orbits like crimson spiderwebs.

Crack.

A planet withered instantly.

Before the corruption could spread, energy erupted from Emperor Star Region’s core. Black Blood Realm Master smirked at his opponent’s hasty response. “Revealing yourself so soon? Let’s see your…”

His taunt died as terrifying energy washed over him. The realm ruler barely registered his paling complexion before –

Pfft.

Gone. Crushed like insects beneath Ye Chen’s cosmic might.

“Hm? Did I squash something?”

Ye Chen’s consciousness barely paused. Realm Masters mattered no more than crushed ants now. Sensing no goodwill from the deceased intruder, he dismissed the incident without remorse.
