Suddenly, the elf in cultivations' eyes snapped wide open.
"T - This!" He stammered out.
Out of nowhere, he had suddenly felt the air around him change. Then, he had felt something change within his cultivation.
It was as if cultivation had gone from impossible mode to easy mode in the blink of an eye.
Although he felt he could make many more improvements before breaking through, such as comprehending more immortal element Qi's to 1% or trying to reach the impossible goal of comprehending the cosmic dao to 1%, which would increase his power and ability to move further in the future, he was far too thrilled to think about that.
Not only was he aware that his potential was too limited, but he was too excited knowing that he could finally break through after so much time had passed.
He quickly calmed himself down and settled into a meditation state. Due to his overwhelming accumulation, it took ten minutes to start his breakthrough.
In an instant, Qi shot out of his body and pressured the surroundings. Every living being within a ten million mile radius could feel the overwhelming pressure and were unable to stand.
Then, an explosion of Qi came from the man's body. As it was about to reach a mile outward, the world tree behind him moved its leaves and formed an incredibly strong barrier.
It was able to successfully block the explosion of Qi after using all its power and wasting millions of years of accumulation of Qi.
The barrier the world tree had created was also able to eliminate the pressure in the surroundings, allowing the pressured people to stand once again.
Despite being able to freely move, the most anyone did was stand up and look in the direction of the world tree which was visible from nearly anywhere in the surrounding billion miles.
After twenty minutes, the Qi flowing out of the elf man's body receded back into him. After so long, the world tree was horribly exhausted, but it was unable to not pay attention to the elf man below it.
He had clearly experienced a breakthrough, but he was already at the tenth level of the space shattering realm. It should have been impossible for him to breakthrough further, especially since older people with greater talent had long been unable to.
The world tree had been alive so long that it had also reached the tenth level of the space shattering realm and had even gained sentience.
Despite its wisdom, it could come up with no other possibility besides a breakthrough into the lesser dao creation realm.
For a moment, it was seriously confused at how such a thing could happen.
Suddenly, it felt a change in the air. Then, it felt a change in its cultivation.
'Uh oh.' It thought as a pressure was released from its body, pushing everyone but the elf man under it into the ground.
As the elf man opened his eyes with glee, he was faced with an explosion of Qi coming from the world tree behind him.
--------------------------------------------
Around the entire Zhou galaxy, similar breakthroughs were taking place.
Although on average only one person among all those in the Zhou Galaxy would reach the tenth level of the space shattering realm every hundred thousand years, millions of years had passed and more than a hundred breakthroughs were occuring at the same time.
Luckily, most had other strong beings or arrays that were able to defend the things around them from being decimated.
Sadly, some areas were still completely destroyed due to bad preparation.
Regardless of the damage to the surroundings, anyone who broke through felt much more excitement than disappointment.
After so many years, reaching the lesser dao creation realm was nothing but a fantasy in the eyes of everyone.
Now, the fantasy became a reality in front of their very eyes.
When it came to overall power in the lesser dao creation realm, it was determined by a few things.
First, the comprehension of immortal elements. The more elements that one had comprehended to one percent, which was the limit of the space shattering realm, the more powerful that person would be after breaking through. For example, the world tree had comprehended life Qi, wood Qi, and plant Qi to 1%, meaning it would be much stronger than the elf man.
Second, the comprehension of the cosmic dao. Although reaching one percent comprehension was only something that could be done by Zhou Fan or someone comparable to him, which didn't exist, there were some very old space shattering cultivators that had reached 0.001% comprehension or some other number around there.
Their strengths were at a completely different level compared to the others.
In an ocean world, a merman named Jack was one of the few experiencing the benefits of cosmic dao comprehension.
He had also comprehended multiple immortal elements to 1%, causing his strength to reach even higher.
For the first time in a while, he stood up and grabbed his trident which had remained his greatest weapon, even when now breaking into the lesser dao creation realm.
He felt a great urge to battle, something which had gone missing after so many years had passed and every member of his species he had known as a young man had turned to dust.
For the next few years, terrifying battles took place throughout the many worlds. If not for the increased strength of the planets, many would have been destroyed.

Back in heavens galaxy, Heaven was watching as the new races developed. They had yet to understand the concept of an array, much less gain the power to use the teleportation arrays, but they were developing faster than expected.
It was mostly due to the information they already had and the information heaven passed on to them, but their own talent could not be doubted.
Besides the fiendcelestial race, none of the other races had potential equal to the heavenborns. They were more equal with the beast race, excluding exceptions like Bi Chong.
Despite their lower talent, they may surpass a majority of the heavenborn race if the heavenborn race did not produce another person similar to Tian Ren.
