The First Cultivator - Changing Existence-Chapter 804: Universe Expansion -

An intense threat assaulted Zhou Fan as the sword pointed at him. This was not a threat he could resist.

Without hesitation, he used his final trump card.

He grabbed a thread, and the Rule of Growth was activated. Passively using this power increased his strength by a lot, but when he used it like this, it was far stronger.

The rules were truly incredible, even unstoppable.

However, the sword seemed to resist the Rule of Growth. It slowly began to shrink, and its power waned. However, the sword still moved towards Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan activated the Rule of Growth, using a different method.

The first method had been reversing growth. This essentially reverted a cultivator's cultivation base, or in this instance, the power of the sword. It was now manageable, but he would be severely injured resisting it.

The second method was to erase growth.

Zhou Fan waved the Rule of Growth, and the sword split in half. One half crumbled, turning into fire and raw materials. It was as if the front half of the sword had never been forged.

Half of the sword's power dissipated.

Zhou Fan clasped his hands, catching the sword which had not stopped moving. He was forced back, holding onto the sword firmly. He slid across half of the Universe before the sword finally stopped. The young man watched in awe as Zhou Fan destroyed the sword, which had lost its power after that one attack.

Zhou Fan waved his hand, and the young man's cultivation base was restricted.

Zhou Fan gathered all of the restricted beings and chained them up together.

He then looked around, focusing on the more pressing matter. Although he was severely injured, he had to attend to the Universe, which was collapsing rapidly.

It was not like how it had nearly collapsed after his battle with the Cosmic Dao, but complete obliteration with no hope of recovery.

Zhou Fan understood how to solve this, but he really didn't want to. It would allow much more powerful enemies from the future to arrive.

"Since I'm doing this for you, don't skimp out on helping me." Zhou Fan said.

With that, he held his hands out.

The Rule of Growth appeared in the form of threads.

Chaos Qi appeared in the form of countless sphere's.

They rotated around each other, slowly forming a balance.

The River of Cultivation appeared.

As the Rule of Growth and Chaos Qi formed a stable core, the River of Cultivation flower around it.

Zhou Fan held the creation close to his chest.

"Begin." He said, smashing his hands together. An explosion occurred. This explosion resonated with the Universe itself.

Zhou Fan used his False Immortal realm cultivation to push out, his power extending across the Universe. Mini-Universe's appeared, overlapping with the space of the current Universe. Spatial Rings, separate spaces, hidden dimensions, the Battle Universe, all were destroyed as all of space and time gathered within the Main Universe.

The River of Time uncontrollably appeared, flowing across the top of the Universe like the northern lights of Earth.

As Zhou Fan pushed, the destroyed walls of the Universe, which had always stayed the same size, began to expand.

Space and Time were birthed as the Universe grew. An unprecedented phenomenon occurred, and the entire Universe seemed to come to a standstill. Not a single being, mortal, god, or Immortal, made a single sound or a single movement.

The locked up Immortals stared in awe at the events taking place.

Zhou Fan paid nothing any heed as he pushed with all his might.

The expansion started slow, but as the power of the explosion reached the edge of the Universe it began to grow.

Chaos Qi fought against the blankness, while Space Qi and Time Qi formed new areas, and the River of Cultivation held it all together. The Rule of Growth assisted the very expansion itself, making the process tens of times easier, smoother, and more effective.

The power of the explosion Zhou Fan had caused did not diminish, but grew even stronger until the entire Universe was covered in its power.

Half of this power expanded the Universe, while the other half poured into the River of Cultivation. This was the Universe helping him.

Although the Universe did not truly have consciousness or a soul, it had a form of spirituality. That spirituality was what made the Universe function. When war came, it was the spirituality of the Universe that allowed all beings to grow faster.

This spirituality was on the same level of unfathomableness as the Source of Time, and could be called the Source of the Universe.

As the power of the explosion, enhanced by the growth of the Universe, poured into the River of Cultivation, Zhou Fan transformed it into the Power of Cultivation, endlessly fueling his growth.

In mere moments, he stepped into the Peak of the False Immortal realm.

This would have taken countless years normally, despite the great war occuring. Although the spirituality of the Universe could affect even Path Creators, it could not affect him. He alone was the exception. However, it could help him like this, paying back a slight percentage of what the Universe owed him for its growth under his lead.

The Universe doubled in size, then doubled from that size, and doubled from that size.

When the explosion finally calmed down, the Universe was ten thousand times larger than before. Almost all of this space was completely empty. Not even stars or dust existed, only space, time, and the Power of Cultivation.

Zhou Fan allowed the Great Dao to expand over this new Universe. Although it had not been able to cover the entire Universe and its Mini-Universes before, he had broken into the False Immortal realm. It could naturally grow even larger now.

Zhou Fan did not make any changes to the Universe just yet, such as creating Mini-Universes. He had plenty of time to do that later.

It could at most be considered a side project, but a war was still in front of him. He did not have time for nonsense.

In the future, many of the most powerful beings opened their eyes.

"The air has changed. The path to the Origin Era grows wider. It seems it is time to get involved."

Many figures thought many similar things.

They only had one thing completely in common.

"It is time to take action."
