Chapter 244: Return to Earth

"Longevity Realm."

Li Yang’s face was full of joy as he assessed his own strength.

The breakthrough was a success. His comprehension of the Laws hadn’t improved, but his physical body had undergone a tremendous transformation!

’My strength should have tripled,’ Li Yang assessed.

Before, he was at the Peak of Law Realm, yet he was already unrivaled within the Longevity Realm. His immense power came entirely from his comprehension of the Laws.

For someone with a strong comprehension of the Laws, even an ordinary person could unleash world-shattering attacks with a mere wave of their hand.

Therefore, this breakthrough didn’t result in a massive surge in Li Yang’s power.

’But with my strength tripled, I should be able to match a Star Lord now, right?’ Li Yang rejoiced inwardly.

The first time he heard Soul Ink mention Star Lords, he had felt the power of that realm was immense and completely unattainable.

Across the entire Milky Way Galaxy, with its hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets, the Star Lords were the most powerful, second only to the nine World Lords.

But now, after only a few years, he possessed the strength to rival a Star Lord!

After a brief moment of assessment, Li Yang didn’t stop. Fluctuations of lightning began to appear on his body again.

He could sense the boundless source of lightning in the world, and it began to be absorbed into his body.

Li Yang hadn’t just comprehended the Space Law; he had also comprehended the Thunder Law!

With the Thunder Law, he could also easily step into the Longevity Realm!

BOOM!

Li Yang continuously absorbed the source of lightning, and his strength continued to rise...

A little over an hour later, his Thunder Law also broke through to the Longevity Realm with ease.

As he broke through, his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, Thunder Star Beast avatar, World Tree avatar, and even his octopus avatar on Earth were also breaking through!

Li Yang’s octopus avatar had basically zero presence. It had no Talent for comprehending Laws and could only scare great white sharks and the like in the ocean.

However, as Li Yang’s avatar, it had effectively comprehended all the Laws that the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, Thunder Star Beast, and others had, so it too could easily break through to the Longevity Realm!

Whatever strength his other avatars possessed, the octopus avatar would possess as well!

At this moment, as Li Yang’s main body was breaking through, so were his four great avatars!

Three hours passed before Li Yang and all his avatars finally came to a stop.

By now, all his major avatars had successfully broken through. Both his Space Law and Thunder Law had reached the Longevity Realm!

After the successful breakthrough, Li Yang waited in anticipation.

’I wonder if the World Tree can nurture another avatar?’

Previously, the World Tree had been able to nurture an avatar every time he broke through to a new major realm. Now, he had broken through to the Longevity Realm.

His Fire Nether Divine Beast, Blazing Bird, and others were all ready. If it was possible to nurture one, he would begin immediately upon returning to Earth!

Li Yang’s face was filled with anticipation. Nurturing one more avatar meant his cultivation speed would become even faster!

The benefits of this were, of course, unimaginable!

Moreover, once he became powerful in the future—for example, if he became one of the Deities—then however many avatars he had, that’s how many Deity-level combatants he would command.

Li Yang was filled with immense anticipation as he carefully sensed the changes. The feeling was just like opening a blind box.

He could clearly feel a subtle change in the nurturing space within his World Tree avatar.

After he broke through to the Longevity Realm, its nurturing space was clearly undergoing a slow transformation.

And as this change occurred, an incredibly excited look flashed in Li Yang’s eyes!

’It can nurture one!’

His eyes shone with pure elation.

’It’s just as I guessed! As long as I break through a major realm, the World Tree can nurture a new avatar!’

Being able to nurture a new avatar meant that, at the very least, Li Yang could gain another one comparable to the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon!

At this moment, Li Yang also felt the terrifying power of the mysterious small sword in his mind!

He knew that the World Tree avatar’s transformation was definitely due to the Cultivation Technique from within that mysterious small sword.

The Body Refining Chapter, the Foundation Building Chapter, and even the Soul Chapter he was currently cultivating.

Li Yang had spent a considerable amount of time with Soul Ink. Even though Soul Ink never stated his own strength, Li Yang could roughly deduce it.

For instance, when Soul Ink spoke of Deities, there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his tone, which suggested that Soul Ink was stronger than the Deities.

When he mentioned Emperors, Soul Ink’s expression remained unchanged. This meant that Soul Ink was either a powerhouse at the Emperor Level or an expert of an even higher tier!

He knew that the reason for Soul Ink’s death back then was soul annihilation.

Li Yang had specifically looked into it before. He was no longer a cultivation novice; with soul annihilation, not even Deities had any chance of being resurrected.

In fact, no expert who had their soul annihilated had ever been known to come back to life.

But Soul Ink had managed it, relying on the Soul Crystal!

Based on Li Yang’s various deductions, Soul Ink’s true strength was absolutely terrifying.

And yet, even the unfathomably powerful Soul Ink was completely astonished by the changes happening to the World Tree.

The more this was the case, the more it demonstrated the power of that mysterious small sword!

However, the small sword just sat in his mind, and Li Yang couldn’t see anything special about it.

’When my strength increases in the future, I should be able to investigate the origin of the mysterious small sword,’ Li Yang thought to himself.

He naturally wanted to fully understand this small sword that had appeared so suddenly.

’Now, all I have to do is wait until I get back to Earth.’

Having broken through to the Longevity Realm and confirming that the World Tree avatar could nurture another avatar, Li Yang was filled with anticipation.

After a long moment, he finally reined in his excitement.

’Time to cultivate the Soul Chapter!’

The Soul Chapter Cultivation Technique from the mysterious small sword had previously given him the most powerful soul at the Law Realm level!

And now that he had broken through to the Longevity Realm, Li Yang could feel that his soul could be cultivated once more!

...

「Ten days flashed by in an instant.」

"We’re back!"

Looking at the azure ocean and the familiar surroundings, a smile appeared on Li Yang’s face.

"Li Yang." "Yangyang."

In the distance, Li Yang’s family was already waiting for him.

Li Yang returned to Earth and had a good meal with his family.

Afterward, he went to a spot on the ocean floor.

He clenched his right hand, and a small, pebble-like object flew toward him from a spot on the seabed. Looking closely, it was a ring.

A Spatial Ring!

The World Tree avatar was inside this Spatial Ring.

"Li Yang, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Li Yang arrive, Soul Ink’s figure drifted out of the Soul Crystal and asked.

Li Yang smiled. "I broke through to the Longevity Realm earlier, and I feel like the World Tree can nurture another avatar."

"It can nurture another one?"

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Soul Ink was stunned, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Four avatars! You’ve already nurtured that useless octopus avatar, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, and the Thunder Star Beast avatar. And now you can nurture a fourth? How is that possible?"
