Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies

Yan Zaizen’s heart raced as he continued to look at this heavenly shrine of his, it was thrumming intensely! With a thought, he interfaced with the Meteor Ring as its absolute controller. Within this Meteor Ring was a wealth of things, including all the wealth he had ’received’ from others.

The Meteor Ring was connected with his soul form and it was an accurate reflection of that. When he looked above, he could see two astral star manifestations, one silver-blue and the other blood-red, yet they were emitting profoundly powerful light. This light was his innate soul aura!

He turned to see that the sky was deep black. This deep blackness may seem like empty darkness, but in truth, it was the body of a black hole so massive that it covered the entirety of the Meteor Ring’s space! This space was vast, incomparably vast. After some investigations, Yan Zaizen discovered it was roughly the equivalent to a sub-realm! This was billions of li in distance.

Not only that, the ring’s surface was initially flat. Completely and entirely flat! However, with a single thought, Yan Zaizen could make it spherical, rectangular, or even cylindrical. It was completely within his control.

As Yan Zaizen looked at the black hole which was the representation of his developed soul bloodline, his eyes emitted light filled with excitement and anticipation. Looking around, he found the heavenly source material he possessed, this included heavenly drops and heavenly crystals. There was an incredible amount!

When he left the Sirius Titan Realm, he had ’received’ a vast quantity of wealth. It was the ten heavenly crystals and heavenly drops from Zhou Xiuhei. Grabbing a heavenly crystal, he exited the Meteor Ring.

Within his physical body’s right hand, a golden crystal the size of a pebble appeared in his hand. It was rhombus shaped and gave off immense levels of heavenly aura.

Yan Zaizen once again drew his attention to his heavenly shrine, as he did, he wildly laughed. He reached out his left hand and clenched!

When this hand clenched, chaotic space trembled fiercely. It continued to do so for an entire hour until an orb of deep blackness appeared. If only could see the winds of time, they would see raging dark-grey winds surging within. This was a heavenly material! To put it simply, it was condensed physical essence embodying the Law of Spacetime!

When one reaches the force-level, their concepts become infused with the true law that they originate from. However, when they reached the manifestation-level, they could draw power from their true law. This was a vast difference! It was this characteristic that the manifestation-level was a prerequisite to constructing a heavenly shrine!

After all, you needed to be able to draw upon the power of the true law!

There were two types of heavenly materials. Those that leaned towards specific conceptual laws, such as the Aqua-based heavenly material he obtained in the Deluge Realm, or those that embody the essence of the true law.

With the former, the construction of a similar, conceptual law aligned heavenly shrine would be easier, allowing a smoother time with fusing and settling one’s cultivation base. This would save an individual a vast quantity of time. However, the latter would have no disadvantage besides time consumption.

This orb of spacetime was a heavenly material based off the former!

Normally, this method of manifesting the true law into heavenly material would result in a true law heavenly material, but in chaotic space, a location that embodies a single concept, it created heavenly material around said concept!

Yan Zaizen wore a dense smirk, "the benefits of an Imperial Law with a perfect setting gives me an absolute advantage in constructing my heavenly shrine!" He had profound confidence in himself because of this very reason! He could easily draw from chaotic space to create an infinite amount of heavenly material based solely on the Realm of Chaotic Space concept!

However, this method didn’t work for everyone. Firstly, Yan Zaizen’s conceptual law was not at the manifestation level, but at the minor-Domain level. The time it required to create this piece of heavenly material was far lower. Yet, this produced heavenly material wouldn’t be able to account for one percent of a heavenly shrine! If a minor-Manifestation level cultivator wished to do the same, he would be dedicating years to achieve this feat!

With a wave, the orb of chaotic space entered the first floor of his heavenly shrine. At the moment, he was going to merge this bit of heavenly material into his shrine. It would be the essence for its walls, designs, and other details within the floor of the pyramid. The first floor had paintings of his youth, his mother, father, and himself in his happiest years.

It signified his beginning!

The heavenly material merged into the walls, it turned into strings of black light that flowed through the walls. This black light was the source of spacetime in its purest form of energy!

"Come on!" Yan Zaizen’s eyes were wide in observation. He had a theory and he believed it to be true.

After the spacetime source essence circulated around the first-floor once, the black and white swirl started to rotate faster. As it did, Yan Zaizen’s heart started to thump so loudly it seemed as if it would burst from his chest. His eyes became bloodshot as he refused to blink!

Swoosh!

A suction force was suddenly emitted from the floor, quite similar to Yan Zaizen’s black hole bloodline and protective soul seal. This was something Yan Zaizen wished to see! His eyes could no longer be described as bloodshot but crimson red with anticipation and excitement!

The black strings were drawn into the black and white swirl.

"YES!!" Yan Zaizen pumped his fist in the air.

Pinaka was silent throughout, she watched it all from Yan Zaizen’s perspective and she even felt her heart was pounding, even though she didn’t have one. She had no idea why Yan Zaizen was so excited, but she couldn’t help but be as well. When he pumped his fist into the air, she also clenched her soft hands into a fist and pumped them both into the air.

When she was done and realized what she did, she blushed and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Did...he...see...?" She inwardly questioned.

"YES!!!" Yan Zaizen shouted.

Startled, Pinaka words stumbled slightly as if she was thinking of an explanation. The first thought was to place it on Yan Zaizen’s intense emotions! However, she knew that deep within her heart, that wasn’t the case. It was similar to seeing someone passionate about something and you couldn’t help but go along because you wish to be included!

At the heavenly shrine, on the first floor, a string of misty white circulated around the pyramid. This misty white seemed to embody all things but also nothing.

However, to Yan Zaizen, it was everything!

"The one laws heavenly material that is impossible to create is the Imperial Law of Mimicry!" Yan Zaizen shouted to Pinaka. This was something they both knew, even the current Yan Zaizen who comprehended the Imperial Law of Mimicry to the manifestation level couldn’t condense it! Whenever he did, it was always something else!

It would be air, essence, water, or dirt! It could be things a part of the environment, but it felt baffling. That was because he couldn’t turn it back!

This was the first time, the very first time, that he saw the heavenly essence source from the heavenly material of Mimicry in his life! He even had faint suspicions that the Yan Clan Ancestor had reached the sovereign-level without a heavenly shrine based around it!

This guess was absolutely correct!

Similar to the Imperial Law of Nothingness, it could not be gathered appropriately. It mimicked all things, and when you condense it, it immediately mimics whatever it comes into contact with the most! Afterward, it would be a permanent construct forever embodying those mimicked concepts.

However, he was still holding his breath because of a single aspect. If heavenly essence is devoured and converted into the heavenly source of mimicry, then wouldn’t it mean he could never formulate his heavenly shrine?!

With a concise motion of his finger, the tip of the heavenly crystal was severed. With a thought, it was sent into the pyramid that was his heavenly shrine. As it entered, it shone with vast golden light. This light exploded violently, but while within the confines of the pyramid, Yan Zaizen didn’t feel a single quaking wave.

This explosion caused the entire inside to be infused with a golden mist! When this happened, Yan Zaizen’s eyes glowed. Even after a day, his eyes still glowed! Because nothing, absolutely NOTHING, happened!

His excitement had reached the apex, and his soul was happier than life itself. He couldn’t help but laugh loudly. Despite chaotic space being a void that carried nothing but ripping force and chaotic winds of time, it carried in an impossible manner.

"Zai, what’s happening?!" Pinaka, as a spiritual form, didn’t understand much of what was happening. Even though she observed it, she could only get glimpses of the characteristics. To her, she was worried that Yan Zaizen’s dao would be affected. To her, she just wanted everything to be okay.

Yan Zaizen could feel Pinaka’s curiosity and worry, his expression immediately grew calm as a result. He calmly explained, "My heavenly shrine merged with my False Grand Dao, this False Grand Dao avatar has characteristics of my bloodlines! The black and white swirling hole represented the black hole of my soul bloodline and mimicry-based white mist of my heavenly bloodline."

"Somehow, with the inclusion of my False Grand Dao as the foundation, these characteristics and their respective features to also be included in my Heavenly Shrine. With the white mist and black hole working in unison, the black hole devours and converts materials into a heavenly essence source of mimicry, which is used to completely construct my heavenly shrine. Essentially..." Yan Zaizen’s words flowed smoothly, but with each word, his voice became harder and harder to suppress his excitement.

"I constructed a Heavenly Shrine of Mimicry!"

"..." Pinaka furrowed her brows. All of this sounded wonderous, but wouldn’t that mean its a disadvantage? After all, the law of mimicry was essentially useless...

Wait...

Wait...

As she pondered on the matter, Yan Zaizen’s eyes grew brighter awaiting her to catch up.

"WAIT! Doesn’t that mean-" As she finally caught up, she was swiftly interrupted.

"I HAVE A HEAVENLY SHRINE OF EVERYTHING!!!" Yan Zaizen loudly shouted in glee, unable to contain his excitement.
