Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 173 Zhou Yang's Universe (Part 1)

"Rumble~~~"

At this moment, Zhou Yang's life core had been completely shattered. In the very origin of his body, only a vast inner world, somewhere between reality and illusion, remained, constantly fluctuating.

"call!"

A figure of Zhou Yang, formed from primordial power, appeared in this world.

He looked at the vast world that constantly shifted between reality and illusion, his gaze solemn yet resolute.

"Then let's begin!"

Zhou Yang's figure slowly raised his hands to the sides, and then began to move slowly, his movements resembling an embrace of Tai Chi.

His movements were very slow, yet as he moved his hands, the vast world below, which was a trillion kilometers in diameter, seemed to shudder violently!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The invisible ripples expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire world in the blink of an eye, making the whole world seem distorted!

With the ancient tree at the center of the world as its core, the entire world began to twist at an extremely slow speed, spinning like a vortex.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

The speed of this rotation is constantly increasing, and the enormous world, with a diameter of trillions of kilometers, is beginning to converge and compress towards the center during the rotation!

It should be understood that the inner world is formed by the convergence of incredibly compressed and concentrated world power.

The difficulty of compressing and condensing them again is unimaginable!

However, thanks to his abnormally powerful soul force and his experience in condensing a chaotic black hole when creating the secret technique, Zhou Yang managed to get this step going.

"Rumble~~~"

A colossal world with a diameter of trillions of kilometers began to rotate, its power truly terrifying!

As if the world were about to collapse, space and time were distorted, and an incredibly concentrated and fierce terrifying aura wafted everywhere, seemingly about to tear the void apart!

The endless ocean, the vast continent, the cities, mountains, forests, and even the ancient tree that reached the sky in the original world all collapsed in an instant and turned into the most primordial world power!

In the blink of an eye, the entire inner world was completely transformed into a huge, rapidly spinning energy vortex!

"Gather!"

Zhou Yang's abnormally powerful soul force emanated out, guiding the energy vortex to compress and converge towards the center!

Having experience in condensing the "chaotic void" of the universe, this step went relatively smoothly at first.

The enormous energy vortex spun rapidly while converging and shrinking towards its center.

1 trillion kilometers, 9000 billion kilometers, 8000 billion kilometers, 5000 billion kilometers.

In just a short moment, the enormous energy vortex was compressed to a diameter of less than 3000 billion kilometers.

However, once you get to this point, continuing becomes incredibly difficult.

At this moment, the boundless power of the world transformed from the entire inner world has been compressed to its limit, and the entire energy vortex has become viscous and sluggish.

If you want to compress it further, the difficulty will naturally increase dramatically!

As he further compressed it, this massive energy vortex even showed signs of rebounding and erupting!

However, having come to this point, Zhou Yang had no room to back down!

Above the energy vortex, Zhou Yang's figure, formed from primordial power, plummeted and plunged headlong into the energy vortex below.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The figure shattered during its fall, transforming into the purest, most primal energy that instantly permeated the entire vortex.

This figure was formed from the Origin Pearl, which is the foundation of Zhou Yang's power, condensing his most core and fundamental power, and also the power he can control most freely!

With the infusion of this power, the energy vortex that had gradually stagnated seemed to be injected with new vitality.

It's like a highly prestigious commander emerging from a chaotic army!

The previously chaotic soldiers, upon the appearance of this commander, seemed to have found their backbone and quickly began to restore order, moving in an orderly manner under his guidance!

Although the energy vortex, which was formed by the convergence of massive amounts of world power, was still extremely viscous, it was no longer sluggish, and the speed at which the entire energy vortex converged increased dramatically in an instant!

2500亿公里.1000亿公里.500亿公里.100亿公里.1亿公里.5000万公里.

Soon, the entire energy vortex was compressed to the level of tens of millions of kilometers.

However, at this point, the compression speed slowed down again.

Zhou Yang gave it his all, pouring all his soul power and consciousness into guiding and compressing this mass of energy.

The diameter of the energy vortex is slowly but steadily shrinking.

3000万公里.2000万公里.1000万公里.500万公里.100万公里！

Finally, when the diameter of the energy vortex was compressed to a million kilometers, Zhou Yang's consciousness felt tremendous resistance.

No matter how he guided or mobilized it, the diameter of the energy vortex could not be reduced any further.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

It was still a massive energy vortex spinning rapidly, and an aura of endless destruction emanated from its center!

The world, with a diameter of trillions of kilometers, has been continuously compressed to less than one million kilometers, a compression of nearly a million times.

At this moment, the power gathered in this energy vortex had reached a terrifying level!

A violent and destructive aura continuously emanated from the center of the vortex; even a wisp of this aura was powerful enough to cause the collapse of a massive planet!

However, Zhou Yang's brows furrowed deeply as he looked away.

This level of compression is not enough!

Chaos is the source of all laws and powers, and is the highest level of energy known to date!

The power required to open a passage directly through the chaotic ocean is terrifying.

Now, although the power in this energy vortex has been compressed and condensed to an extremely abnormal degree, it has not yet reached the point of qualitative change, collapse, and the formation of a black hole!

"What should we do?"

A sense of impatience rose in Zhou Yang's mind.

Even with his abnormally powerful soul force, compressing his entire inner world to this extent was already the limit.

If this continued, even he himself would lose control.

If not properly controlled, the massive energy compressed a million times could explode out of control, potentially reducing him to nothingness in an instant!

Now, he is in a dilemma.

There is no way to retreat to the rear, and to move forward is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

"Could it be that the Stellar Transformation technique really doesn't work in this world?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, he did not intend to give up; he still had one last chance!

"Divine power, ignite!"

With a low shout, his newly transformed divine body instantly began to burn!

"boom!"

A terrifying energy, several times stronger than before, was squeezed out from every part of his body and instantly injected into the energy vortex that was already stuck in stagnation!

Under the pressure of this force, the viscous, almost tangible energy vortex finally started to move again, slowly and laboriously condensing towards the center once more.

At the same time, wisps of hazy golden mist drifted out and pressed down towards the center of the energy vortex.

The golden mist was extremely thin, yet incredibly heavy!

This is the layer of golden mist that had previously enveloped the Meteor Tear. Zhou Yang had thought it had dissipated, but it unexpectedly reappeared at this moment!

Under the suppression of this wisp of golden mist, the energy vortex, which had become restless due to being compressed to the extreme and was about to completely explode, instantly calmed down.

Then, under Zhou Yang's relentless burning of divine power, the energy vortex with a diameter of one million kilometers began to rapidly compress and condense towards the center.

10万公里.1万公里.1000公里100公里100米.1米.

In the blink of an eye, the entire vortex was compressed to the size of an egg!

An inner world with a diameter of trillions of kilometers has now gathered all its energy into an energy vortex the size of an egg!

An endless, terrifying energy was brewing within this small vortex. The surrounding spacetime could not withstand this terrifying mass and seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment!

The wisps of golden mist merged directly into the vortex, leaving golden threads on its surface.

At this moment, Zhou Yang's belief and strength reached their peak.

"A world has condensed to its ultimate state, forming an existence akin to a 'singularity.' The next step is—"

"Singularity. Collapse!"

As Zhou Yang activated it, the energy vortex, which had been compressed to the size of an egg, suddenly contracted, instantly shrinking into a tiny point of light the size of a grain of rice.

Finally, under the pressure of this extremely concentrated power, the surrounding time and space could no longer withstand it and began to collapse rapidly toward the center of the light spot!

"boom!"

The tiny specks of light vanished completely, and a terrifying black hole, invisible and imperceptible yet constantly devouring everything, instantly took shape!

At that moment, it was as if an ancient world had been connected, and an ancient, boundless aura, transcending time and space, emanated from the other side of the black hole.
