With the Blood Sea clone fully gestated, Bai Yue no longer had any reason to remain at the World Lord level.
Only by stepping into Undying could he truly gain the qualification to move freely within the Primordial Universe—able to advance or retreat at will, relying on his own strength rather than constant concealment.
At the World Lord stage, due to the existence of the Dao Fruit body, Bai Yue would not truly perish even if destroyed.
But if that fact were noticed by peak existences of the universe, peaceful cultivation would become nothing more than a dream.
That was unacceptable.
Preparing for the Breakthrough
First, Bai Yue transferred the Blood Sea clone from the Original Universe into the World Lord World of his Earthling clone.
Breaking through to Undying required attracting the descent of the Primordial Universe's Law Ocean.
Such a process could never occur inside the Original Universe—its Dao Fruit nature completely shielded it from external perception. To the Primordial Universe's consciousness, Bai Yue's Earthling clone was the true main body, while all other bodies were merely derivatives.
The Blood Sea clone he brought out was only a portion of the total Dark Sea, occupying a tiny fraction of the vast World Lord World.
Inside his palace within the Thousand Treasure River territory, Bai Yue sat cross-legged and calmly began his breakthrough.
He chose the Earth Origin Law.
It was the first fundamental law he had completely comprehended—and the most stable foundation.
Earth Law Awakens
With a single thought, the fully perfected Earth Origin Law surfaced in his mind.
Earth… ground… weight… gestation… vitality…
All mysteries unfolded in sequence.
"This is Earth," Bai Yue murmured softly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
A profound sense of completion filled his heart.
Boom!
An invisible connection snapped into existence, directly linking him to the Earth Law Ocean in the Primordial Universe's origin realm. Boundless, majestic power surged across spacetime and poured into his body.
There was no turning back.
Inside Bai Yue's body, the Life Core—originally an origin bead—absorbed the descending Earth Law aura and instantly transformed. The bead reshaped itself into a humanoid figure identical to Bai Yue himself.
Law formed. Origin manifested.
Break the Life Core.
God power irrigates.
Soul and body merge—enter Undying.
This was the immutable process of ascension.
Within the Life Core, an internal space formed naturally.
Boundless energy condensed into a long staff engraved with complex law patterns. Whether Martial Artist or Spirit Master, the weapon formed during ascension was merely an extension of origin energy.
Shattering the Life Core
The Bai Yue formed from the Life Core opened his eyes.
Gone was the previous calm vastness like starry skies and oceans.
In its place—
An indomitable, razor-sharp will.
Like a drawn divine blade.
Bai Yue's Life Core had long been tempered by the Ten Great Origin Laws, refined again and again. His genetic level, optimized over years, had already surpassed 1200 times.
Its toughness was unimaginable.
Yet it was not enough.
He did not even activate any secret technique deduced by the Dao Fruit.
The long staff trembled.
An invisible ripple spread outward.
Cracks appeared.
The Life Core shattered inch by inch—like jade and stone burning together, heaven and earth collapsing simultaneously.
BOOM!!!
The core wall disintegrated into dust.
The instant the shackles vanished, Bai Yue's consciousness fully fused with the boundless Earth Law Ocean.
God Power Descent
Above the palace, the Earth Origin Law manifested.
RUMBLE—
Boundless yellow divine light descended like an overturned ocean.
For ordinary World Lords, stepping into Undying required only modest god power.
Exceptional geniuses might directly form King-level Immortal bodies, reaching 100,000 times World Lord power.
But Bai Yue—
Was completely different.
His Earthling clone alone possessed a gene level exceeding 1200×, forming a god body surpassing 120 million times World Lord power the instant ascension completed.
That alone exceeded most Universe Exalts.
And that was only the beginning.
The True Horror: Dark Sea Awakens
All other clones—except those currently receiving inheritance on Zijing Island—appeared within the World Lord World and began absorbing god power.
Some had massive physiques.
Some absorbed quietly.
But none compared to the true monster.
The Dark Sea.
Diameter: 80 million kilometers.
Gene level: 300×.
Power: 30 million times World Lord—multiplied by an oceanic scale.
The god power required for a single Human Universe Exalt wasn't even one-billionth of what this sea demanded.
This was why the Lord of the Nine Nethers was considered nearly invincible.
And now—
That power belonged to Bai Yue.
Heaven-Shaking Phenomenon
Ordinarily, breaking into Undying caused barely any disturbance.
But Bai Yue's breakthrough…
Was thousands—no, tens of thousands—of times greater.
The entire Thousand Treasure River region was engulfed by endless yellow divine light.
Universe Exalts and Immortals stared in disbelief.
"This is… Undying?"
"This pressure surpasses Universe Exalt ascension!"
They saw only the surface.
A Teacher's Realization
From afar, Primordial Chaos City Lord stood silently, gazing at the heavens.
To him, the scene was far more terrifying.
The universe itself seemed to overturn.
The Law Ocean poured down as if ruptured, god power flooding the void—being consumed at an absurd rate.
"…So that's it."
Understanding dawned.
"He truly nurtured a Blood Sea descendant."
A slow smile appeared on the City Lord's face.
"Very good."
"If this is only Undying…"
"What will happen when he enters Universe Exalt?"
"A super existence capable of shaking hundreds of millions of races…"
Birth of the Endless Youhai
Inside the World Lord World, the Blood Sea fully transformed.
Crimson faded.
God power surged.
The ocean became a true god-power sea.
Diameter: 80 million kilometers.
Bai Yue looked down calmly.
"From today onward—
You are Endless Youhai."
He raised his hand.
Create.
A Dark Sea clone over nine thousand kilometers tall emerged.
One hour later—
Fully restored.
The clone dissolved back into the sea.
The ocean expanded—barely perceptibly.
But Bai Yue felt it.
He smiled.
With the Dao Fruit's creation authority activated, the Endless Youhai surged outward again, rapidly expanding until it reached the Undying limit—
Nearly one billion kilometers.
Only then did he stop.
This was enough.
For now.
