Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 235 Moving Forward

"Haha, it actually works!"

Zhou Yang observed the outside world through the new cosmic passage.

The cave passage was originally filled with extremely dense black mist and almost endless fierce winds, with bursts of violent and blazing lightning and fire energy erupting from time to time.

However, as the new cosmic passage opened and began to rapidly absorb energy, the black mist, as well as the endless gales, lightning, and flames, were quickly swallowed up into the new universe. All the chaotic energy near the passage connecting to the new universe was devoured, and a vacuum-like area was instantly formed around it!

woohoo~~~

Some mist from a distance around the cave gradually drifted back towards this place, but it would take a while to completely fill the entire vacuum area.

However, this brief moment was enough for Zhou Yang to seize the opportunity and pass through!

The new cosmic channel continues to expand, directly reaching a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers. With a channel tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, plus the swallowing force of the new universe, the area it radiates is far more than that!

woohoo~~~

All the fog, gales, lightning, flames, and other violent and chaotic energies within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers were swept away almost instantly, and the 'vacuum' zone in this cave directly expanded to a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

"Whoosh!"

A figure in black armor, Zhou Yang, appeared directly at the edge of this vacuum zone; this was a clone that Zhou Yang had released.

Although he was somewhat confident, he couldn't be sure there wouldn't be other risks in the passage, so it was best to be cautious!

With the appearance of Zhou Yang in black armor, the location of the "anchor point" between the new universe and the outside world also changed, and the cosmic passage moved accordingly, and the area of ​​the cosmic passage that absorbed power radiation also expanded!

whoosh whoosh~~~

Various chaotic energies were continuously being absorbed into the passage, and the vacuum zone in this dark cave extended forward as a result!

The black-armored figure then advanced another considerable distance.

And so, the black-armored figure moved forward as the cosmic passage sucked in its contents.

From a great distance, it looks as if a person is moving forward with a black hole above their head that is swallowing up all their power.

Although the speed wasn't particularly fast, they were indeed moving deeper into the passage!

"Although it's slow, if we keep going deeper, we'll eventually reach the deepest part of this passage!"

In the new universe, Zhou Yang's face revealed an uncontainable joy.

It should be noted that these grottoes and caves are where supreme treasures are occasionally unearthed, and even now, many powerful cosmic lords are still lurking at the exits of these caves, waiting to seize the treasures.

If even the entrance to a cave can yield supreme treasures, then what kind of opportunities might be hidden in the deepest part of the cave, which has remained unexplored by even the strongest beings in the universe throughout countless reincarnations?

"Haha, I bet nobody would have guessed that I possess such an incredible cheating method as the New Universe!"

Zhou Yang was secretly pleased with himself.

Even the strongest beings in the universe have their own mini-universes, but their mini-universes cannot open channels anytime and anywhere in the cosmic sea like he can.

Without opening the passage, one cannot resort to such cheating methods as he did.

"Haha, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to make my way to the deepest part of this cave."

Zhou Yang was in an extremely cheerful mood.

"I wonder what treasures await in this deepest part. A mountain of top-tier treasures? Various rare materials and artifacts? Could there even be an ultimate treasure? Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting!"

As he carefully moved forward, he also observed the stone carvings on the cave walls.

As they continued to explore, the content of the stone carvings gradually became richer.

At first, there were only some special human-shaped symbols, but as he continued to delve deeper, new content gradually emerged.

There were clusters of twisted and intertwined patterns resembling flames, and phantom images of a giant divine hammer striking. Whenever Zhou Yang discovered a new pattern, his consciousness would be automatically drawn into certain fantastical scenes.

Giants carried heavy loads, craftsmen hammered and forged, engravers carved and branded, and others were responsible for 'assembling' the scattered parts into an incomparably majestic behemoth!

He was like a tourist, traveling along the way and also visiting some real scenes from before the endless era.

The stone carvings and fantastical scenes had a profound impact on him, leading to some wondrous insights.

As Zhou Yang continued to delve deeper into his cave passage, a message quickly spread throughout the vast cosmic sea, across the three eras of reincarnation and the two holy land universes.

"The Human Lord of Reincarnation has fallen into the abyss of the Ten Thousand Caves Gorge? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. This news came from the Lord of the Dragons during the first era of reincarnation. He personally witnessed the Queen of the Primordial Universe Zerg, along with several Zerg Queens at the level of Universe Lords, take action. They even used the supreme treasure, the Queen's Palace, and directly blasted the Lord of Reincarnation into the abyss cave of the Myriad Caves Gorge. The Lord of the Dragons observed the area for a long time but never saw the Lord of Reincarnation reappear!"

"The Abyss of Ten Thousand Caves is a place even the strongest beings in the universe dare not venture deep into. This Lord of Reincarnation is probably finished. Even if he has an avatar, without all his supreme treasures, his strength will likely be greatly diminished."

"Heh, good riddance! The most dazzling cosmic ruler in the cosmic sea in nearly a thousand years? Hmph, you were too overbearing, even those of you from the same primordial universe couldn't stand it anymore, haha, that's satisfying, that's satisfying!"

In the vast ocean of space, some lamented, while others silently mocked.

The news quickly reached the human population.

"What! Zhou Yang was attacked by the Zerg Queen and several Universe Lords, and fell into the abyss passage of the Ten Thousand Caves Gorge? Where did this news come from?!"

The Lord of Chaos City was taken aback.

"Come quickly!"

He immediately called out to Zhou Yang.

A moment later, Zhou Yang's figure quietly appeared in front of the temple of the creator of the virtual universe giant axe.

The moment he appeared, he saw the lords of the universe sitting at the long table, and the founder of the giant axe at the head of the table.

"Founder of the Giant Axe, teacher, esteemed guests."

Zhou Yang nodded to the powerful human warriors.

"Zhou Yang is here."

"Reincarnation".

"Lord of Reincarnation".

Each person at the long table spoke, their tone revealing a hint of respect.

Over the past thousand years, Zhou Yang has truly made a name for himself in the cosmic sea!

During his journey through the Chaos Peak Realm and the Cosmic Ship, he fought against at least several hundred Cosmic Lords, most of whom were at least fourth-tier Cosmic Lords!

According to the assessments of countless powerful figures in the universe, Zhou Yang's strength is enough to rank him among the top of the fifth tier!

A top-tier fifth-order universe master!

Among the entire human race, including the alien races of the Hongmeng Alliance, only a handful of people have reached this level, such as the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, and the Lord of Penggong.

But now, another Lord of Reincarnation has been added!

Moreover, this Lord of Reincarnation is surprisingly young; he has only cultivated for a little over 100,000 years yet has already achieved his current strength!

In the hearts of many powerful figures among the human race, Zhou Yang's importance has even become somewhat comparable to that of the Lord of Chaos City.

After all, if he has cultivated for a little over 100,000 years and has already reached the top level of the fifth rank, then the probability of him breaking through to become the strongest in the universe in the future is extremely high!

Once they become the strongest beings in the universe, they will be the true pillars of humanity!

"Zhou Yang, there are rumors circulating that you were attacked by the Zerg and fell into the abyss passage of the Ten Thousand Caves Gorge. Is this true?"

The Lord of Chaos City spoke.

"Um."

Zhou Yang nodded. "The Zerg Queen, along with several of her subordinate Queens who were at the level of Universe Lords, launched a soul attack. The power of that attack was simply too strong. Although I withstood it, I was inevitably distracted. The Zerg Queen took the opportunity to manipulate the Queen's Palace and slammed me into the depths of a cave in the Ten Thousand Caves Gorge."

Zhou Yang spoke casually, yet the expressions of the group of powerful figures present changed.

"The Zerg Queen herself is taking action, and she's accompanied by several Queens of the same cosmic level?"

"How are you now?"

The Lord of Chaos pressed for an answer.

"Teacher, there's no need to worry. I have some special ways to protect myself, so I won't be in any danger for the time being," Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Which passage are they in? How long can they hold out? Do they need me to come and meet them?"

"The founder of the giant axe spoke up."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang shook his head. He was still thinking about exploring the secrets deep within the cave, so it was impossible for him to leave now.

"The founder of the giant axe need not worry, I already have a way to escape."

He explained it this way.

"Oh?"

The founder of the giant axe glanced at him, but in the end he simply nodded slightly, "Alright then, take care of yourself, and send me a message if it's in a critical moment."

Then his tone changed, becoming cold and menacing.

"Those Zerg are so shameless, sending the strongest beings in the universe to assassinate you. Don't worry, I'll get justice for you!"
