    ******


    The overwhelming Spiritual Energy surged through Xiao Ming''s flesh and blood, and even the ''Spirit'' within him began to devour the iing Spiritual Energy pouring into him voraciously.


    Until a certain moment, with a crackling sound, it seemed as if something shattered, and the vast, unrivaled Spiritual Energy reached a state of true unimpeded flow.


    The Spiritual Energy pervading his flesh and bloodpletely fused with it in an instant, causing an unprecedented transformation in his body.


    Finally, the Spiritual Energy took deep root in the depths of his flesh and blood and genuinely reced the traces of Dou Qi. His flesh underwent a transformation, shedding its original form and bing akin to a spiritual body.


    The conversion of Spiritual Energy waspletely sessful!


    Subsequently, his realm skyrocketed.


    He broke through the Sensing Stage, Spiritual Movement Stage, Spiritual Rotation Stage, Spirit Stage, Heavenly Fusion Stage, Heavenly Transformation Stage, and Heavenly Completion Stage in an instant.These breakthroughs were followed by the Three Sovereign Disasters. Within Xiao Ming, the Spiritual Energy rapidly circted through his meridians in an endless loop.


    During the Human Body Disaster, a fire was born within one''s flesh and blood under the rapid cirction of Spiritual Energy. This blood-fire emerged within the flesh and spread throughout the body. It was a true cmity for most people to have their flesh burned. Those who overcame it would temper their flesh and make it robust, but failure meant that the bodily flesh would be consumed and vaporized by the fire, destroying the body and causing immense damage.


    However, Xiao Ming''s body was a Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body; such blood-fire was merely a tickle to him.


    He passed the Human Body Disaster with ease. After the blood-fire was extinguished, the spiritual fire was born within the circting Spiritual Energy. Xiao Ming''s Spiritual Energy was of an even higher quality than that of a typical Heavenly Sovereign, so this spiritual fire was ineffective in tempering him. Likewise, the soul fire meant to temper the soul during the Spirit Disaster was no match for Xiao Ming, whose Soul Realm surpassed even that of the Emperor Realm. Thus, he easily overcame the Three Sovereign Disasters.


    A continuous stream of spiritual essence filled his body, like a bolt of lightning piercing the endless darkness. After that, Xiao Ming sessfully opened the Sovereign Sea.


    He had now stepped into the Sovereign Stage!


    Slowly opening his eyes, the seemingly infinite gravitational pull in his pitch-ck eyes engulfed everything within sight.


    He exhaled a breath of white mist, which was crystal clear and gradually dispersed into the air, revealing itself to be exceptionally pure Spiritual Energy.


    As his eyes returned to normal, Xiao Ming stood up and murmured, "Too slow, the amount of Spiritual Energy needed to restore the Heavenly Sovereign realm is simply immense. I might even drain this deserted continent and still not have enough."


    "If that''s the case, then let''s do it all at once. Devour this continent and condense the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body at the same time!"


    No sooner said than done, Xiao Ming appeared outside the world secondster.


    This continent, although notrge by the standards of the Great Thousand World, was immensely vast from a human perspective.


    It floated in the void, wrapped in ayer of faintly glowing crystal barrier that served as the continent''s protective shield.


    Xiao Ming nced at it, then opened his mouth and exhaled. A pure white dragon, simr to an Ancient Void Dragon, flew out of his mouth. Soon after, its size increased rapidly, and within minutes, it had be boundless. Xiao Ming''s gaze followed its body, yet he still could not see its end.


    ''Not enough.'' Xiao Ming frowned. Although the Spirit''s body was already vast, it needed to be several timesrger to devour this continent.


    With that thought, his mind stirred and an invisible ripple emanated from him. Far away in a distant space, the Tian Xuan Continent also emitted the same ripple as it began to send endless energy towards him.


    This was a privilege of being the Dimension Master; no matter where he was, a mere thought could connect to the ne and draw a continuous stream of Spiritual Energy from it.


    However, moderation was necessary. The Tian Xuan Continent, being just a lower ne, could suffer a copse if too much was drawn, destroying countless lives within it.


    Therefore, since Xiao Ming was able to devour the continent in front of him to restore his realm, he did not need to draw on the energy of the Tian Xuan Continent to restore himself. He would only call upon enough energy to make the Spiritrge enough to devour this continent.


    With the arrival of this energy, Xiao Ming''s realm skyrocketed to the 9th Grade Sovereign in the blink of an eye, and that was just from the residual energy.


    More energy was transferred to the Spirit''s body the moment it arrived.


    The energized form of the Spirit swelled once again, finally meeting Xiao Ming''s requirements. It wrapped itself around the crystalline barrier below.


    The world was tightly enveloped by the dragon. Then the dragon opened its massive jaws and swallowed arge portion of the crystal barrier in one gulp. The teeth inside the dragon''s cavity moved in a rhythmic motion, gradually consuming the remaining half of the barrier.


    After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only the white dragon remained in front of Xiao Ming, its belly swelled like that of a woman in the tenth month of pregnancy, lookingically distended.


    Xiao Ming''s face lit up with joy. ''It''s time to condense the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body.''


    With a swift motion, he appeared atop the dragon''s head and sat down cross-legged.


    His hand seals changed, and within the Spirit''s body, countless coloredws manifested and began to operate, initiating an indescribable transformation.


    Cultivating the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body required one to be the master of a ne and toprehend thews of heaven and earth. It also involved using a highly spiritual object as a foundation, opening up an embryonic world within it using thesews, and then continuously filling it with countless attribute-rich heavenly treasures and a continent''s worth of material to make it truly grow.


    In terms of spirituality, the Spirit that Xiao Ming possessed was the most potent. It had been refined by him countless times and was as easy to use as his own limbs, making it the most suitable to condense his Celestial Body and maximize its power.


    Moreover, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to condense such a Celestial Body. Ordinary Sovereigns could forget about it. There was no need to mention the difficulty of bing the master of a ne and theplexity ofprehending itsws.


    Even if they met the requirements, from the formation of the world embryo to the ability to devour continents, their realm would have to be at least at the Perfected Earth Sovereign.


    During that period, they would not have a Sovereign Celestial Body to utilize.


    Due to his formidable strength, Xiao Ming started by having the Spirit devour a continent. Having a continent as a foundation made the process more convenient, an advantage that others did not have, but this was to be expected.


    After all, this was originally within the simtor, and he had custom-made this Celestial Body for himself. As such, the cultivation process was naturally easier for him.


    Under the influence of numerousws of different colors, the continent''s crystal barrier also began to merge with the Spirit''s body. Xiao Ming''s condensedws intertwined and interacted with thews of the world, eventually merging into one.


    Gradually, Xiao Ming began to feel a sense of control over the continent. This sense of control grew stronger until he had total control.


    Afterwards, he began to drastically reshape this world with hisws; the rules changed, and mountains and rivers shifted.


    During this process, the Spirit unknowingly transformed into a light shadow tens of thousands of feet in size. This light shadow emitted endless chaotic light, a type of primal force that typically only emerged at the birth of a ne. It was among the top tiers of energies in the Great Thousand World, surpassing even Spiritual Energy. At this moment, however, it emanated freely from within itself like an inexhaustible resource, unleashing an indescribable terrifying power that seemed to be tangible, wreaking havoc and causing numerous spatial storms in the surrounding area.


    Due to the abundance of chaotic power, some of it dissipated while Xiao Ming absorbed the rest into his body.


    This chaotic power took him by surprise. There was no mention of such an urrence in the simtor!


    This chaotic power was truly the highest tier of energy. The amount of Spiritual Energy it contained was immense. He absorbed the equivalent of billions of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in just a few breaths. His realm gradually increased until, with a loud bang, his strength was restored to the Heavenly Sovereign Stage!


    Xiao Ming suddenly opened his eyes.


    <em>Buzz!</em>


    An intense beam of light shot out of his eyes as soon as they opened. The light was indescribably brilliant, piercing through the void before finally vanishing into it.


    He slowly clenched his hand and felt the overwhelming surge of Spiritual Energy within him. His body trembled slightly, as if countless thunderbolts were exploding within him.


    He had finally regained his strength!


    However, he did not focus too much on the power within him as he looked up at the vastness of the void above.


    The void trembled at this moment. Layers of pitch-ck clouds surged forth and ck light swirled within them, brewing something ominous. These clouds continued to absorb the chaotic light emanating from the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body and became even more profound and mysterious.


    Xiao Ming watched these ck clouds with a hint of solemnity in his heart: ''Is this the Heavenly Sovereign Cmity?''


    It was rumored that a breakthrough into the Heavenly Sovereign realm would inevitably bring about a disaster, and this disaster was called the Heavenly Sovereign Cmity. This cmity was extremely horrifying. Even a real Heavenly Sovereign would be afraid of it.


    Xiao Ming had not encountered the Heavenly Sovereign Cmity during his breakthrough into the Dou Immortal. But now that he had shifted to cultivating the Spiritual Energy System and restoring his realm, he had unexpectedly triggered this disaster. Moreover, much of the chaotic power had been absorbed by it and had seemingly increased its power.


    ''No, this doesn''t seem like just a simple Heavenly Sovereign Cmity...''
