Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 574: The Heavenly Space Beast Tian Mo, Dao Generation realm expert, 7th rank achieved.

”It is complete!” Grey heaved a sigh of relief.

After a full day of meticulous work, his seventh-rank path was finally ready to be used and published for his pathstriders.

The people in the Azure Origin universe would also be able to use this, starting now. They should have already received it, in fact, since he had created the branch, and their means of progression was tied directly to accessing it.

Interestingly enough, he did not know precisely how much more powerful he would become after this.

Of course, there was only one way to find out.

That was by undergoing genetic ascension himself. He could directly step into the seventh rank right now, thanks to the boundless reserves of the Holy Corpse.

He was speedrunning the creation of the path, but the reality was that his flawless simulations condensed what would normally take countless eons into mere hours. There were no mistakes.

Just then, he felt something.

There was a strange fluctuation in the void.

The Nexus Domain shuddered under an invisible, crushing presence.

Sensing this, Grey silently stepped out of his Creator’s space. By now, Alan and Kaelith were already by his side.

”There is a strange man standing just outside of the planet’s atmosphere,” Kaelith informed him.

”Who might that be?” Grey frowned. He could not think of anyone who would come to make trouble with them right now, unless it was Tian Yuan.

”We do not know.” Kaelith’s face grew grim. ”But that man is at the ninth rank.”

It was Grey’s turn for his expression to sink.

He had not anticipated this at all. There were still ninth rankers roaming around in this universe?

”Let us go meet this man,” Grey said. He waved his hand, and the tall tower that housed his family and friends was directly shifted into his secure Lesser Heaven space.

Then, Alan and Kaelith, along with the other eighth-rank gods, flew up to meet this intruder.

”Greetings, fellow Daoists,” the man greeted them with an easy smile. ”I am the Heavenly Space Beast, Tian Mo.”

”Tian Mo?” Grey raised an eyebrow. ”What is your relationship with Tian Yuan, senior?”

”Tian Yuan? Funny guy. He once used my seventh-rank strengthening technique to power his own immortal path,” Tian Mo said with a booming laugh.

Alan and Grey’s expressions simultaneously changed.

His seventh-rank strengthening technique...?

”Does that mean you are the one who created the technique to reforge the higher dimensional body for foundational growth?”

”It was not created,” Tian Mo said with a wide grin. ”I merely took inspiration from the ancient chaos, from the Great Lord Chaos Emperor himself, to forge that piece of technique.”

”I am sure you are very much aware of what I am talking about, fellow Daoist in the center,” Tian Mo said, his eyes locking onto Grey.

Grey’s heart skipped a beat.

Did that mean this Tian Mo actually possessed a chaos fragment similar to his Chaos Source Codex? It would make a lot of sense, one way or another.

”What is your purpose in coming here, Senior?” Grey asked carefully.

”It is simple,” Tian Mo replied. ”I was so busy comprehending the Law of Chaos trapped within the ancient ruins that I was not able to make it before the Holy Corpse was refined by you.”

”Hand over the power of that Enlightened Body. It will allow me to finally reach the tenth rank,” Tian Mo demanded, seamlessly unleashing his aura.

Ninth rank, first level. But the sheer density of the energy oozing out of him made it abundantly clear that he could easily fight across levels.

Kaelith and Alan immediately grew serious.

”Oh? You both are not suppressed by my aura?” Tian Mo looked genuinely surprised to see Alan and Kaelith standing completely fine under his pressure.

He was an expert in the Dao Generation realm. The power of the Dao completely outweighed the mere law power that common evolvers possessed. Yet they were unaffected?

He squinted his eyes as he looked closely at Kaelith.

”You are...”

”If you are here for a fight, then there is no need to waste words,” Kaelith interrupted coldly. ”I believe we should see this through. You will not be getting the Holy Corpse.”

”Haha.” Tian Mo chuckled. ”Is that so?”

Boom!

The following moment, his figure detonated into motion, a terrifying wave of energy crashing directly toward the Nexus Domain.

Grey’s eyes turned freezing cold. Targeting his planet? He was afraid it would not be that easy.
