《Celestial Journey》123] - [Nearing the Chaos Archetype Realm]
Advertisement
"Sorry, but such a lowly teleportation won't work on us." Teleporting as well, the young lady was nowhere in sight, ninety-nine cultivators now in the Universe Realm's middle pouncing on him from all sides.
"I can tell bullshit when I see it! But I don't mind, you're just making it easier for me!"
Spinning mid-air, Alexander turned into a sharp tornado of silver, his Blade Dao in full motion.
'Let's go all out! If this calamity wants to play dumb and fail like this, I don't mind!' Clearly aware of something, Alexander's silver tornado cut apart five opponents too close to evade.
His spinning halting, Alexander let himself fall back down, landing gracefully on his toes. Rushing at him, ten experts now on the ground felt tightness in their chest.
"!!"
Still on his toes, Alexander's feet fully connected with the ground the next moment, his heels heavily crashing onto it.
Still in the Outer Territory, Alexander's cultivation was miles beyond the world's tiers. Even as a sealed world, the material world inside was not any better.
The ground shaking, his Earth Dao, Volcanic Dao and a myriad others erupted along the surrounding ground in unison. The ten experts still on said ground could only yelp as giant stalagmites of light-brown impaled all of them.
But without the time to recover, Alexander had to keep moving, he could not let this chance to win slip by. And so, with a mighty uppercut, Alexander's silver aura blinded the world above, brandished against another three experts, already being shredded bit by bit from this light.
"There's too many of you!" Happily roaring, Alexander raised his right leg, only to smash it onto the ground right after. But no earth came impaling anyone, his stomp only a powerful foundation to an average move.
Steadily rooted on the ground, Alexander punched forward with his right fist, a giant version of silver shaping itself. As for the twenty experts, they could not stop the might of a Nihility Realm expert, their possessed vessels sent to the abyss in one motion.
"Here you are!!" Laughing aloud, Alexander raised his left arm upward, soon catching with ease a sudden punch from up above.
The flagrance of blossoms drifting around, Alexander did not need his eyes to see who this fist belonged to.
Still tightly gripped onto it, Alexander lowered his straight left arm forward, smashing the red haired woman on the ground violently, as if she was nothing but a club.
"Urgh!!" Coughing out cold blood, the young lady screamed, a strange sound piercing Alexander's eardrums.
"Shit..." Clicking his tongue, Alexander retreated a few hundreds of meters away, only to realize his mistake.
'Should be closer!' Going back on his previous steps, Alexander rushed at the woman, currently glowing an eerie black light.
*Phew!* Thankfully, Alexander could sigh in relief, as the woman's fusion of all hundred finished.
'My previous work did not go to waste!' The reason Alexander knew something was off came from this exact scene. A Void Calamity should be difficult to bypass while at the Nihility Realm. But what were a hundred Universe Realm nobodies? This was beyond strange. And from this, Alexander knew what to do.

Now, his handiwork proved itself worthy, the fused being only at the Nihility Realm's first stage.
'Barely stronger than a newly promoted one even! Haha! What good luck! A little shit from the void hoped to defeat this Alexander without taking the fight seriously...'
"You guys are too arrogant!" Roaring, Alexander kicked the ground, already in front of the fully black figure.
"Argh!!! You bastard!!" Angered not only toward Alexander, but itself as well, the humanoid creature sent a right fist forward, pulsating with spatial fluctuations.
Narrowing his eyes, Alexander felt the need to end this fast. A being from the void was still strong after all, even in a weakened state.
"Die!!" Sending a punch of his own, Alexander's left fist, on the verge of connecting, suddenly retracted itself.
"You can't even fight properly now?" Scoffing, the void entity continued, its right fist almost clashing with Alexander's forehead.
"Oh?" Raising its almost invisible brows, the figure noticed spatial fluctuations from behind.
"Daring to play with space in front of this King?!" Not even bothering with it, the being vibrated before Alexander's portals collapsed.
'Luckily I was only testing the waters... if my hand was in there...' Smiling wryly, Alexander bent his upper body, evading the punch, all the while bending his legs as well.
'Since there is a material world in here, might as well use it a bit more.' His bent legs like springs, they snapped straight back upon the ground, destroying it in the process.
Noticing the shockwaves beneath, the void entity cursed.
"Ah~... Go fuck yoursel-" Inevitable, Alexander's right uppercut connected with the entity's jaw, shockwaves of pure blinding white light shaking the world.
The jaw was soon pushed inside the brain, the eyes forced outside, before exiting from above.
The mangled void flesh raining down, Alexander kept destroying it with a flurry of punches until he felt satisfied.
Void Calamity completed!
The invisible curse of the void lifted, Alexander felt his cultivation steadily soar. He was now a second stage Nihility Realm expert, standing near the Inner Territory's absolute peak.
Sitting cross-legged again, Alexander kept his next goal in sight.
Closing his eyes, his avatar shaped itself within his Multiverse.
'Should be fairly easy.' Waving his arms around, spatial fluctuations rippled across the worlds, drowning the realms.
A fight between space principles and space limitations making itself known, his Origin Core felt sore.
'A bit more difficult than I first anticipated, but no matter. Still doable!' His cultivation still rising, nearing the second stage's middle, Alexander was busy modifying his internal world.
'The objective of the third stage is to have a much bigger storage of Origin Energy. A bigger storage of energies overall. Maybe... maybe it's not even limited to energies... but I can't... I just don't have the means right now.'
Focusing, space within himself began to change, the true space of his internal world containing not only false space, but another layer as well.
This new layer was his goal. This layer would become a new, empty Multiverse capable of storing energies without a hitch. These would also be easily accessible.
The new layer, as if a mirror dimension, was swiftly completed.

Throughout his Multiverse, another one took root in a new layer of space. As for the access method, Alexander decided to rely on his Heavens a bit more.
'I also need to decide what to do with my Multiverse... should beings other than humans be rewarded? I just feel like... it might be best to let it do its thing.'
Hoping to maybe correct his habits, Alexander wanted to see what would happen.
Opening his eyes, Alexander felt his strength to still be rising steadily.
'My body is slowly getting used to it...' Clenching his fist, he exhaled his stress.
Laying down on the cold hard ground, Alexander looked toward the ceiling without much of an imagination. He only needed to wait for his cultivation to reach the third stage's peak. Then, he would practice his new Dantian by using everything he had, siphoning his reserves dry.
After which, a breakthrough to the Chaos Archetype Realm would be his next objective.
Whistling to the empty air, Alexander awaited, still laying on his back.
The days flashed by, the years drifted away and the centuries elapsed.
And one day, while staring at the ceiling, Alexander sat back up.
Peak Nihility Realm!
His new Void Core was, while still orange, a completely different world of capability. How much potential could Alexander have with a Dantian filled to the brim? Then, how much would he now gain when able to siphon triple the amount?
With this new dimension within himself, void of all material structures, his energy storage soared to not double, but triple instead.
'If I learn more... if I understand more...'
'Might I one day gain an infinite storage?'
Standing up, Alexander was now ready to proceed with the next realm. However, to do so, he only had two choices.
One was to leave the Inner Territory and enter the Core Territory. The environment there should grant him a swift breakthrough.
The second was to stay and forcefully promote himself. This included pressuring his entire being enough to turn his meridians into paste. And this was only the basic requirement. This manipulation could very well end up catastrophic the moment Alexander failed to control his strength. It was the same as playing with one's self-destruction. Not a leisure task.
'Logically speaking the Core Territory is the best choice, but also the worst. For one, I can't really live well in the Core Territory if the Nihility Realm's peak is the lowest level. Especially with my tendencies...'
'And if I stay... well at least I won't need to bother with Valtos and crossing paths physically again, at least hopefully. I also wouldn't need to...'
'Never mind, I should at least go check it out. Valtos shouldn't bother with me right now, and Monarch Lu doesn't even know who I am... I think.'
'So, might as well see what this Core Territory is all about.' Walking back to the entrance, Alexander exited the sealed world shortly after.
Now a peak master of the Inner Territory, Alexander's cultivation granted him peace of mind when exploring Limbo, at least to some extend. He would always be wary of unlucky occurrences where twenty masters beyond the Chaos Archetype Realm would ambush him for no reason or anything similarly dangerous.
His mind had a difficult time resting on its laurels.
The uneventful journey across Limbo only took less than eight hundred years, his cultivation much higher compared to his initial travel.
And in front of him, lone in the middle of nowhere, a wall. However, this wall was not familiar in any way. It was not the Dark Wall owned by Valtos. It was something much bigger. A giant grey wall going as far as his eyes could ever see.
'This is... quite the scale?'
Blocking his way forward was a clear wall, yet... it was somehow different.
Since he lacked confirmation due to his usual laid back consciousness when flying around, he did not pay much attention to it until he was close enough. Only his paranoid subconscious kept itself awake, prepared against ambushes.
Backtracking trillions upon trillions of kilometers, Alexander frowned.
Backing up again and again, he finally could take in the view.
'A ball?' Was his first thought.
The grey wall ahead was not a wall, but a bead or maybe even a sphere. It was impeding his way forward, stopping him from accessing the Core Territory.
The size of the bead was mind numbing. It occupied an incredible amount of space over Limbo. And Alexander knew perfectly why such a size was apparently necessary.
'Wasn't the Core Territory supposed to be... free to enter? Why is there such a giant sphere covering it?! That's an entire territory as well! Who made this!?'
Even though each territory shrunk compared to the last, the Core Territory still stood with pride in its size.
However, it did not matter to him that much. But it did give him a nervous feel. And while clenching his fists, hoping again and again for this to be nothing but a formality, Alexander flew closer.
And after exploring the delimitations of this grey sphere in the middle of Limbo, Alexander found something different.
A gate!
Yet...
'Guards? And...' Gauging them to be above him in cultivation, Alexander sweated profusely.
'Clone! Always clones first!' Creating a clone in a few moments, it was sent to the guards.
"Hmm? Hey! You! What are you doing here?" One of the two grey guards speaking up, he addressed the clone with fervor.
"Sir!" Cupping his fists, the clone spoke with neither submissiveness nor haughtiness.
"I am just wondering what this is? I was hoping to enter the Core Territory one day..."
"And you thought it would be gratis? No chance!" Noticing the clone's cultivation base, the guard was about to scoff when he realized it to be a clone.
"Listen, to enter the Core Territory, you must have a recommendation letter from either Monarch Lu or Julia Fellav! Though, since the war ended, Julia Fellav's letters are to be rendered invalid for ten billion years! So, unless you can give me a letter from Monarch Lu, you won't be going past this gate in your entire life!"
"I understand!" Politely going back, the clone was assimilated by Alexander.
It was with gritted teeth that he decided to stay near this sphere for a bit more.

Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read.
