Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 211 Outside the New Universe

The new universe has now expanded to an enormous extent, and the cosmic space it contains is also very large.

"call!"

Zhou Yang's figure instantly appeared at the edge of the new universe, at the 'membrane'.

Here, space, time, energy—everything is vibrating wildly, in a state of utter chaos.

However, this level of chaos was something that Zhou Yang, the master of this new universe, could easily ignore.

"Certainly."

Zhou Yang gave a low shout, and the surroundings became completely quiet.

His gaze pierced through the membrane, attempting to look beyond it.

The surging, dark energy flowed through the thin 'membrane' and was then broken down into eight basic energy principles: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, and thunder, which were used to strengthen the development of the new universe.

Zhou Yang's gaze focused, then his eyes darted outwards, only to be met with endless chaos and darkness.

"The true god's miniature universe separated from the primordial universe and then gradually drifted away. So where was my new universe born?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but be curious.

His new universe's diameter has far exceeded the limits of a true god-level small universe. Even the two holy land universes in the cosmic sea are far inferior to his new universe in terms of volume alone.

Of course, the energy level and perfection of the new universe are still somewhat inferior to the small universe of the true god, which means that he is not yet able to exert power comparable to that of the true god.

However, such a massive size would have caused a huge sensation and attracted countless people to investigate if it had appeared in the cosmic sea near the primordial universe.

However, the truth is that in the more than 90,000 years since the new universe was created, Zhou Yang has never sensed any strange life force in the nearby Chaos Sea.

It was as if he were the only solitary life existing in this eternally silent void.

"Is this an unfamiliar cosmic sea, or have we crossed dimensions and arrived at a cosmic sea in another dimension? I wonder if this area is safe."

Zhou Yang hesitated slightly.

The new universe is now the foundation of all his power. If the new universe is damaged, he will not die immediately, but he will lose almost all of his strength.

Therefore, the safety of the new universe is of paramount importance.

"It's still the Chaos Sea, so I shouldn't have any problems surviving in it now."

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.

He raised his right hand, his palm enveloped in a radiant glow, and then he gently swept his hand across the cosmic 'membrane'.

However, he was very cautious and only opened a fist-sized hole in the new universe's 'membrane' for the time being.

"Boom!"

However, at the very moment the cave entrance opened—

A surging, thick, dark current rushed in from the open hole and crashed into Zhou Yang's body.

Zhou Yang was struck by this surging chaotic energy and was sent flying tens of millions of kilometers away!

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

It was as if a world-destroying blow had struck him, causing his divine body to shatter and his divine power to be annihilated at an alarming rate, dropping to nearly 10% almost instantly, and still continuing to be annihilated!

You should know that if a divine body is reduced to only 10% of its original strength, it will fall into a deep sleep!

Zhou Yang was startled by this sudden turn of events!

Fortunately, he was now in the new universe, and the vast power of the new universe's origin immediately surged into his body, which allowed his divine aura to recover quickly.

At the same time, with a thought, endless new cosmic primordial power surged continuously within the new cosmic 'membrane,' and the fist-sized hole rapidly repaired itself.

"Whoosh~~~"

Only when the hole was finally repaired and the dark current that had just flowed in was broken down into eight primordial forces by the new universe and integrated into the world did Zhou Yang finally feel relieved.

"Good heavens, that was close!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although that moment was very brief, it truly made him feel the crisis of death.

If he hadn't become the master of the universe, with his divine power increasing a hundredfold, and if he hadn't been in the new universe, constantly replenished by the power of the new universe's origin, that attack might have really taken his life!

"Why, now that I am the master of the universe, am I still unable to step into the new universe?"

Zhou Yang's gaze turned serious.

"The chaotic energy flow in the Cosmic Sea is already the purest level of energy; I can walk through it with ease. But the dark energy flow outside this new universe almost caused me to perish. Is the chaotic energy here even purer than that in the Cosmic Sea?"

"It feels like my new universe is connected to some incredible place."

A powerful energy space that even the Lord of the Universe couldn't withstand? My God, how terrifying must that be!

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt both joy and endless worry.

The region where the new universe is located has a high energy level, which is naturally of great benefit to the growth of the new universe, and the strength feedback that one can receive will naturally be stronger!

However, if other life forms truly exist in such an energy-rich space, they must be incredibly powerful, posing a tremendous challenge to the safety of the new universe!

"This really served as a wake-up call for me."

Zhou Yang secretly felt fortunate.

If I hadn't suddenly decided to come and take a look, I probably wouldn't have discovered this for a long time.

If an unforeseen crisis were to occur during this period, he would be completely unprepared.

Even if he were prepared, it might be futile if he encountered an enemy capable of traversing the endless, dark space outside to reach the new universe.

With the new universe as his trump card, Zhou Yang originally had great confidence in the entire primordial universe and even in the endless sea of ​​the universe.

However, it now appears that while the new universe is currently peaceful, it may very well be hiding an even more deadly crisis.

"This is forcing me to become stronger!"

Zhou Yang sighed inwardly.

However, upon closer reflection, besides rapidly improving his own strength, there wasn't much else he could do.

"The new universe is growing on its own, so I don't need to worry too much. The three things I can quickly improve right now are: first, divine power level; second, secret techniques level; and third, supreme treasure level."

Zhou Yang silently considered his future cultivation path.

"Regarding divine power, with the Life Record, the early stages of divine power advancement should be relatively smooth. The only uncertainty is how long the effects of the Life Record will ultimately last."

"Regarding arcane techniques, the fusion technique is fundamental to me, and I must devote my utmost effort to achieving its fusion as soon as possible. Secondly, I must also try to create more of the strongest arcane techniques and the strongest fusion techniques to enrich my combat capabilities."

"Regarding treasures, with the Reincarnation Divine Armor on my body, I should be sufficient for my current combat needs. However, the three forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea contain a large number of powerful treasures from countless eras before the Reincarnation Era. I can collect more treasures and study their secret patterns to learn from the experiences of my predecessors. This should greatly promote my research on the fusion of laws and the art of treasure refining."
