144 Inner World Realm - 144

After another 8,000 years had passed, Zhou Fan finally felt a change within him. The separate space, which hadn't stopped growing in power for the last 58,000 years, suddenly stopped.

Then, a sound that could only be described as the distortion of space sounded out. Hearing it, Zhou Fan widened his eyes. He had a bad feeling about the next few seconds. As expected, his premonition was right.

From the ball of gray light within the space of his soul, an immense amount of power shot out. Instantly, Zhou Fan knew he had no ability to stop it.

A gray shockwave poured out from his body like an atomic bomb and instantly destroyed the pagoda he had worked hard to create, before reaching the barrier and instantly going through it as if it was air.

Everything the explosion passed by was crumbled to atoms immediately. As it went past the barrier, it quickly expanded, covering the entire sun and nearly destroying it in seconds.

Luckily, Zhou Fan had been able to move some of his power in order to prevent the sun from facing complete destruction.

Still the shockwave continued outwards, absolutely decimating the space it passed by and heading towards the hundred worlds.

It was at that point that Zhou Fan got angry. For the first time in a long, long time, Zhou Fan was genuinely angry.

How dare his own power destroy his own creations. Right before the explosion reached the hundred planets, Zhou Fan roared out and used 100% of his Qi and power, which now exceeded the lesser dao creation realm, in order to lock down the explosion.

Immediately, gray chains covered the entire surface of the explosion, not only stopping it from advancing, but rapidly pulling it back towards Zhou Fan.

As it did so, Zhou Fan instinctually used some of his new power in order to repair the destruction caused by it, which included the very fabric of space, the sun, the barrier, and even the pagoda, before Zhou Fan forced it back into his separate space, ending the entire fiasco.

As soon as the explosion was contained, Zhou Fan sprawled out on the floor, panting. He had never put so much effort into something as he just had. He had also never used such an incredible amount of power before. Naturally, that power came from his increase in cultivation. Although he had no idea what it did or what to name it, he could clearly feel that he had broken through to the next realm.

After regaining his Qi and his stamina, Zhou Fan observed the separate space within him. Surprisingly, it had not changed from before the explosion. It was still a ball of gray light. However, Zhou Fan could feel that the ball of gray light was a separate space that could now be entered.

Therefore, Zhou Fan entered it. Inside, there was no space or skies or ground or life, but simply an endless gray. It was as if nothing existed but the gray light.

Like the entire universe untouched by Zhou Fan, the space only had Chaos Qi. Unlike the entire universe, there was nothing else, besides Zhou Fan himself.

Despite that, Zhou Fan felt that he could draw enormous power out from his separate space. Actually, Zhou Fan felt that he should call it an inner world, a world inside him.

After he thought that, Zhou Fan even decided to name the realm after it.

He would call it the Inner World Realm. After thinking for a while, Zhou Fan came to the conclusion that this was his inner world, and the grayness would not change as he cultivated.

He guessed that the reason it was like this was due to his affinity with Chaos Qi. if someone else were to reach the realm, they may actually have some sort of system happening.

For example, a person with only a fire Qi affinity may have infinite flames filling up their inner world, or someone with only a water affinity may have endless water filling up their realm.

Perhaps someone with many affinities could organize their inner world to form an actual planet. In fact, Zhou Fan could do that, but why would he?

He could already tell that no life would be able to live in his inner space no matter what he did.

If someone with a life Qi affinity were to form an inner world, they wouldn't be able to actually have life either.

Although he had only had it for moments, Zhou Fan could tell that an inner world was not meant to share. Instead, it was for a single person's use and only a single person.

Although Zhou Fan could change his inner world by splitting chaos Qi, he would absolutely not do that. Despite all he had done, he had always felt the most comfortable within Chaos Qi.

As for splitting the Chaos Qi in the solar system, that was for the benefit of the life within it, which Zhou Fan kind of considered his children.

Still, he would always surround himself in Chaos Qi. After taking another look at the inner world of chaos Qi, Zhou Fan found that there was actually a limit to the inner world's size. At some point, he could only stop moving.

Although there was only Chaos Qi in front of him, he couldn't actually move forward. It was as if the chaos Qi was forming a wall to stop him.

Soon, Zhou Fan left his inner world. He knew that as he cultivated, his inner world would expand and the power he could draw from it would increase.

Despite the aspect of drawing power, the inner world was one with him like his body and soul. It was similar to how he drew Qi out from himself, except he was drawing it out from his inner world.

Now that Zhou Fan had broken into the first level of the inner world realm, he could check up on the Zhou solar system's progress, and also finally visit earth to see how it had grown without him.
