Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 209 The Pattern of the Cosmic Sea

"Whoosh~~~"

An endless stream of chaotic energy surged and spread, directly filling all the space that could be seen.

The chaotic energy generated immense pressure, so strong it was terrifying. Even without a deliberate attack, the pressure emanating naturally was enough to obliterate an immortal god!

"Such powerful pressure! This is the true chaotic world, far stronger than the chaotic energy I'm currently using to suppress the Chaos."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Chaotic energy, a source of energy for the universe."

The Lord of Chaos City stood in the void, looking at the endless chaotic energy in front of him. "I'm not sure about the primordial universe, but the miniature universes of the strongest beings in the universe all use this chaotic energy as their energy source. The chaotic energy in the cosmic sea has the highest purity, at least much purer than the chaotic energy in our initial universe."

Zhou Yang nodded.

The initial universe was merely a small universe, in its initial state, and the chaotic energy within it exerted no pressure whatsoever. Therefore, back then, some of their ninth-tier level beings could still live a carefree and leisurely life in Chaos City.

"Leaving the primordial universe means venturing into the cosmic sea." The Chaos City Lord turned to look behind him.

Zhou Yang also turned around.

Standing in the void and turning around, not far behind, was the irregularly torn opening in the membrane wall.

At first glance, the enormous membrane wall spreads outwards, like a giant curtain that seems to have no end, as if it directly covers the other half of the entire cosmic ocean.

"This is the primordial universe, the cradle that gave birth to billions of races."

Zhou Yang thought to himself.

In their early days, all life was conceived and grew in the cradle of the primordial universe.

Once one becomes powerful enough, such as reaching the level of a Universe Master, one can voluntarily step out of this cradle and venture into the vast ocean of the universe.

"Um?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's heart suddenly stirred slightly.

"Now that I can leave the primordial universe and enter the cosmic sea, can I also cross the barrier of the new universe and take a look outside? The cosmic sea gave birth to the primordial universe and numerous smaller universes of the strongest beings in the universes. So where is my new universe?"

He thought to himself, but now was not the time to investigate, so he suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

"let's go."

The Lord of Chaos City, along with Zhou Yang, teleported to a void.

There are 39 twisted spatial openings around the void, all of which are natural wormholes.

There are two ways to reach the Cosmic Sea.

One method is to enter the spatial interlayer and then teleport until reaching the end of the spatial interlayer, where you can penetrate through the endless cosmic membrane!

Although the barrier of the cosmic membrane is strong, the Lord of the Universe can break through and penetrate it.

The second method is to leave the original universe through the Toya black hole.

The Toya black hole is arguably the most powerful black hole in the entire primordial universe. Its powerful tearing and twisting forces constantly damage the membrane walls, so once you enter the black hole, you can simply exit through it.

Of course, if it were just a matter of being able to leave easily, it wouldn't be enough to make powerful figures from all sides leave from here.

The main reason is actually... this area after emerging from the Toya black hole has a total of 39 natural wormholes.

The cosmic ocean is vast and boundless.

Once you enter the Cosmic Sea, you are no longer within the original universe, so you can no longer use the divine kingdom for teleportation or fly through the dark universe.

To navigate the vast ocean of space, one must rely on either teleportation or natural wormholes.

The universe is terrifyingly vast; even the primordial universe is just a part of it. How long would it take to teleport?

Therefore, the importance of natural wormholes is self-evident.

Fortunately, the environment in the cosmic ocean is harsh and bizarre, and there are also a great many natural wormholes.

Traveling along a natural wormhole from one end to the other could be hundreds of billions of light-years.

In the cosmic ocean, most journeys are made using natural wormholes, while some journeys require teleportation.

Over an endless period of time, the locations of the two points connected by numerous natural wormholes have been recorded, allowing us to find the fastest route to our destination.

Of course, if one breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, one can expend a large amount of divine power to directly and violently force back all laws, and be free from the restrictions of the laws of operation, thereby allowing the speed to soar to a thousand times the speed of light, ten thousand times the speed of light, and even continue to soar higher.

Therefore, only by becoming the strongest in the universe can one truly have the confidence to roam freely in the cosmic ocean!

"The 39 natural wormholes here have entrances of varying sizes and lead to different distances."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Zhou Yang and smiled, "You should be able to accurately identify natural wormholes numbered 1 through 39, right?"

"Um."

Zhou Yang nodded. Before leaving, the Lord of Chaos City had already sent him all the information about Earth in the Cosmic Sea from the human race.

The map was very accurate and had multiple descriptions, just in case it was misread; getting lost in the cosmic sea would be a terrible thing.

Zhou Yang quickly confirmed his destination by comparing the map with the map.

He pointed to one of the larger, distorted spatial openings not far away, "Our route this time is along this No. 15 natural wormhole."

"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go."

……

The endless cosmic sea is filled with chaotic currents. However, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, one cannot rely solely on sight to see. For example, the divine power that spreads out can also allow them to accurately 'see' the surrounding situation, and even more clearly than the eyes.

Natural wormhole!

Teleport! Teleport! Teleport!

Each teleportation has a limit of 1 light-years, and the will and consciousness of the Lord of the Universe can maintain an extremely high frequency of teleportation.

Zhou Yang followed the Lord of Chaos City and moved forward quickly. Along the way, apart from the endless chaotic air currents, the only different object he saw was a small universe of a Destruction Species.

"The strongest being in the universe has fallen, and his miniature universe will also crumble."

Along the way, the Lord of Chaos City took the opportunity to explain some key information to Zhou Yang: "When a strong person cultivates to the highest peak, they become the strongest person in the universe, and when a divine kingdom develops to the highest peak, it becomes a small universe."

"If an immortal god falls, his divine kingdom will be desolate and ruined."

"If the strongest being in the universe were to fall, his miniature universe would also be destroyed."

"The primordial universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. However, as time passed, after reaching its most prosperous peak, the primordial universe would also rapidly decline and even be destroyed! Then a new cycle of birth would begin... Each cycle would give birth to billions of races, many geniuses, some of the strongest beings in the universe, and a large number of universe lords."

"Each cycle of reincarnation is incredibly long."

"Each cycle has a group of the strongest beings in the universe, and each strongest being in a universe corresponds to a small universe."

"Small universes drift in the cosmic ocean, moving farther and farther away, many long beyond the boundaries of our cosmic exploration. At least 18022 small universes have already been discovered!"

The Lord of Chaos City explained,

"Let's consider this cycle of rebirth as the third cosmic era, the cycle before us as the second cosmic era, and the cycle before that as the first cosmic era."

"The entire cosmic sea... apart from the two holy lands, only three powerful beings from different cosmic eras remain. All other reincarnations have been annihilated."

"Three Cosmic Eras."

Although Zhou Yang had a general understanding of this information, hearing it from the Lord of Chaos City himself still stirred his emotions.

A single great destruction of the entire primordial universe constitutes one cycle. All the peak powerhouses who survived three cycles of reincarnation gathered in the cosmic sea, and the number of powerhouses in this cosmic sea is truly terrifying!

"Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of reproduction, while the first two cycles have completed their cycles, naturally giving birth to far more powerful beings than we have."

The Lord of Chaos City said, "Our Third Era is the weakest. The First Era was the strongest."

Zhou Yang understood as well.

In the early stages of the universe's development, the emergence of powerful beings was very slow because secret techniques and other methods needed to be created and perfected.

For example, in the current primordial universe, apart from the reincarnation of the "God King of Jin" as Zuo Shan Ke, the development of treasure-refining traditions in the entire universe is extremely lagging behind.

In the entire primordial universe, there are only a handful of "Master Refiners" capable of crafting top-tier treasures, including the God of Crafts.

However, as time goes on, the various inheritances will become more and more complete, and the efficiency of cultivating strong individuals will continue to improve.

He himself may have only completed half of his cycle in this third cosmic era. The first two cycles were complete, so the number of powerful beings was naturally different.

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and smiled: "Of course, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Back then, the Primordial Ancestor roamed the universe and was absolutely invincible! The strongest beings from other universes would all avoid him."

"Original Ancestor!"

Mentioning this person, Zhou Yang's expression turned solemn, and boundless admiration welled up in his heart!

Despite being born in the Third Reincarnation Era, he was so powerful that countless powerful beings in the entire universe couldn't even raise their heads. What a magnificent and heroic figure he was!

Later, due to his loneliness and invincibility, he took the initiative to challenge the origin of the primordial universe. Although he failed in the end, Zhou Yang knew that the primordial ancestor's choice was not wrong; the only mistake was that he launched it at the wrong time.

The primordial universe was indeed an immense opportunity, but it required at least the will of a Chaos Ruler to seize a body. The Primordial Ancestor was far too hasty back then.

"When you venture into this cosmic sea, the only things you really need to be wary of, besides those madmen from the first era of reincarnation, are the two holy lands."

The Lord of Chaos City said, "In fact, we know from the more than 9 small universes that have been discovered that... how many strongest beings have ever been born in the universe, but more than 9% of the small universes have been destroyed, which means that all the strongest beings in those universes have perished."

Luo Feng nodded.

The destruction of a miniature universe signifies the fall of the universe's strongest being.

"Besides the three great cosmic eras... there are two other forces in the cosmic sea, each belonging to a small universe."

The Lord of Chaos sighed, "Those two small universes must have been the small universes of the strongest universes from our previous ten or even one hundred cycles of reincarnation."

"Those two miniature universes are also extremely large in size."

The Lord of Chaos City said, "The strongest known small universes are generally no more than 1 million light-years in diameter. These two small universes, one with a diameter of 21 billion light-years and the other with a diameter of 32 billion light-years, are the two largest small universes. The era in which they existed is no longer verifiable."

Countless cycles of reincarnation have all vanished.

The fact that those two miniature universes survived is truly remarkable.

"These are the two most powerful forces in the Cosmic Sea, and also the two holy lands recognized by the countless powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea!"

"Three cosmic eras and two holy lands—these are the forces within the endless sea of ​​the universe."

"Of course, every cosmic era is not united. Just like our Third Cosmic Era is divided into nine super powers, twelve top powers, and so on. Similarly, the First and Second Cosmic Eras were divided into dozens of forces. Therefore, the endless cosmic sea can be described as extremely chaotic, and any force that is not one's own may suddenly attack you."

The Lord of Chaos City solemnly instructed, "However, comparatively speaking, the strong in the first era of reincarnation are more mad, while the people of the two holy lands are extremely arrogant, yet their strength is still extremely powerful. Therefore, you must be very careful in your future actions."

"Yes, teacher."

Zhou Yang responded respectfully.
