Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 322 Finally Meeting

Inside Zhou Yang's dantian, the 'Dark Star' that had been condensed to its extreme had completely disappeared, replaced by an even more terrifying black vortex that seemed to devour everything.

The immense energy that Zhou Yang had accumulated through his cultivation was now completely swallowed up by the black vortex.

The eighth realm in "Stellar Transformation" is the Black Hole Realm!

Zhou Yang's consciousness sank into his dantian and quickly disappeared into the huge black hole vortex.

This "black hole," formed by the further evolution and collapse of the "dark star" that had gathered all his energy, was actually like a spatial passage, connecting internally to a special space unknown to anyone.

And at the instant the 'black hole' connected with that space—

An ancient, timeless aura, transcending time and space, emanated from the other side of the black hole.

This aura instantly enveloped Zhou Yang's soul and merged into his consciousness.

The moment that ancient aura merged into Zhou Yang's consciousness, he clearly felt his transformation, a transformation at the primordial level. The feeling was somewhat similar to when Zhou Yang refined the Primordial Spirit Wine, but the degree of transformation seemed to be more intense.

If all living beings in this world are ants struggling to survive, then after refining a portion of the Primordial Spirit Wine, Zhou Yang has become the strongest among countless ants, and has even undergone some unique evolution, seemingly about to transcend the category of 'ants'.

In the instant that aura merged into Zhou Yang's consciousness, he seemed to transform from an ant into a human. Although he was just an infant, he had truly transcended the level of an ant and reached a completely new state of life!

Zhou Yang's consciousness began to penetrate deeper into the black hole passage, and soon his consciousness arrived at the other end of the black hole passage, where he saw an extremely spectacular scene.

At the other end of the black hole passage lies an incredibly vast, seemingly boundless space filled with a special substance that appears almost tangible yet flows slowly.

That state, at first glance, looks like a paste, an endless paste!

Within this boundless, gooey space, right next to the 'black hole passage,' there is a special area that is two to three meters long and wide.

This area is entirely constructed of golden energy, with an invisible barrier separating this golden space from the endless, gooey space surrounding it.

Moreover, there is a kind of 'rule' that makes it impossible for Zhou Yang to enter the 'paste space' from his two or three meters of space.

"Just as I expected!"

As Zhou Yang's consciousness materialized into a human form, he gazed at the endless, muddy space, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment welled up within him.

The constantly flowing, viscous "paste" energy seemed to have an essence remarkably similar to the dark currents outside the Zhou Yang New Universe that devoured the world!

Whether it's the ancient, boundless aura or the invisible pressure that makes one tremble, the two are almost identical.

"However, according to the orthodox 'Stellar Transformation' cultivation method, even if one reaches the Black Hole realm and connects to the Primordial Space, one still cannot directly absorb Primordial Spiritual Energy for expansion and cultivation."

Back then, when he devoured the original world, he had switched to cultivating "Stellar Transformation" after reaching the peak of the World Lord realm. At that time, he forcibly collapsed the endless energy of his entire inner world to form a black hole, which directly pierced through the dark energy space that seemed to be the "Hunyuan Space".

Moreover, his subsequent cultivation was based on the Divine Kingdom Method of the Devouring System. With the help of the vast energy of his inner world and the Chaos Secret Runes, he directly created a universe, which resulted in many differences from the orthodox Stellar Transformation cultivation method.

Now, however, he is cultivating step by step from the Nebula stage according to the Stellar Transformation technique.

Normally, according to the Stellar Transformation technique, after the Black Hole Realm there is the Origin Realm, after the Origin Realm there is the Qiankun Realm, and only after the Qiankun Realm is the true Universe Realm.

Only by reaching the later stages of the Black Hole Realm can one gradually absorb the primordial energy of the paste space to strengthen the small golden world within their body.

"It's almost time. After absorbing a portion of the Primordial Spirit Wine, my soul underwent a tremendous transformation. My progress in cultivating the Three Souls and Nine Refinements is extremely rapid. I believe it won't be long before I reach the final 'Qiankun Realm' or even the 'Cosmic Realm.' At that time..."

Zhou Yang's consciousness expanded infinitely, and he even vaguely saw the scene of his own universe reaching its peak, and even directly crossing the endless primordial chaos to meet that legendary supreme being.

However, at this very moment—

Suddenly, the wind picked up!

Indeed, in that endless primordial space, it was as if an invisible force suddenly blew, and the viscous 'paste energy' slowly retreated to both sides under the influence of this force. In just a moment, a long and endless 'passage' appeared in that primordial space!

Tap~ Tap~ Tap~

It was as if the sound of footsteps was gently echoing throughout the world.

Within that golden energy space, spanning two or three meters in diameter, Zhou Yang's consciousness, transformed into a human form, looked forward along the long passage—

At the end of the passage, a figure slowly walked down from a distance, as if descending a staircase from mid-air.

Every step felt like stepping on the pulse of the entire space.

Zhou Yang couldn't make out the figure in the distance at all; he only felt that the figure's body was blurred.

The figure seemed to move slowly, but it had a sense of shrinking distance, and in just a moment, the figure came to the front from the endless distance.

Then, he actually stepped directly into the golden energy space that belonged to Zhou Yang!

Only then did the figure gradually become clearer.

His height was similar to Zhou Yang's. He wore a long black robe, and his black hair flew up, revealing a resolute and slightly cold face.

Yet, his eyes revealed an endless, all-encompassing gentleness.

Coldness and gentleness, two completely different temperaments, appeared in the same person.

"Buzz~~~"

When that person entered Zhou Yang's golden space, there were faint, invisible spatial fluctuations around him, making him and Zhou Yang seem to be in different dimensional spaces.

The man raised his hand and made a sweeping motion, releasing an invisible wave that enveloped Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang felt as if he were being pulled by an invisible hand, instantly traversing endless space and time to arrive in a new world.

This world is vast and boundless, shrouded in ethereal mist and bathed in rosy light, resembling a dreamlike fairyland.

He was sitting in the center of this fairyland at a round white jade table. On the table were a white jade wine pot and two jade wine cups filled with clear wine.

Across the round table, the mysterious man in black robes looked up and smiled casually at Zhou Yang:

"Zhou Yang, we finally meet!"
