Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 226 The Whereabouts of the Last Metal Piece in the Ten-Colored Void Sea

The core of the spaceship.

This is a silvery-white world. Beneath the silvery-white void lies a silvery-white lake, upon which are scattered reefs of varying sizes, some tens of millions of kilometers in size, others only a few dozen kilometers in size.

Apart from this silvery-white lake, there is nothing else in this world.

This is a notorious and dangerous spot in the heart of the lake, known as the 'Chaotic Reef Lake'. Time flows at different rates on each reef in this lake, with time accelerating the closer to the center.

Whoosh! The space shifted, and Zhang Yi, clad in dark gold armor, appeared at the edge of the lake.

"Is this the legendary 'Chaotic Lagoon'?"

"Does one have to withstand a certain level of mental strain to step onto the rocks in the lagoon?"

He murmured to himself, his mind replaying the relevant information.

Having the authority to do so, he was well aware of the dangers lurking in this 'chaotic lagoon'.

With a swift movement, following his senses, he arrived directly on a reef near the center of the lake.

This reef is quite large, with a maximum length of several million kilometers.

Upon landing, he was immediately enveloped by a terrifying force of will.

"So powerful! Luckily, I've been breaking through to the limit of True God, otherwise I really might not have been able to hold on."

Enduring the impact on his will, Zhang Yi followed the sensations of the Nine-Colored Domain and quickly flew towards the center of the reef.

A moment later, a silvery-white metal block appeared in his palm.

It felt cold to the touch, almost identical to the one I had obtained before except for its color. At the same time, the metal block emitted strong temporal fluctuations and trembled violently.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yi summoned the Nine-Colored Domain into the air. The instant it appeared, the silver-white metal block, like a magnet, flew up on its own and collided with the Nine-Colored Domain, which radiated nine-colored light.

Just like the last fusion, the two collided and formed a cube that emitted ten colors of light. The cube has ten faces, each of which is different and emits different law fluctuations.

The newly formed ten-sided cubic metal block also has a depression at the top center.

"This must be where the core metal block was originally installed." Zhang Yi understood as soon as he glanced around.

Let's turn our attention back to the ten-sided cube.

Having learned from the previous experience, after recognizing the master again, he activated the newly formed 'Ten Color Domain' with a thought.

hum~
An endless, dazzling light emanated from him, enveloping the entire lake, shimmering with ten different colors. Upon closer inspection, the silvery-white light appeared slightly dimmer compared to the other nine dazzling lights.

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was taken aback. He could sense that the newly formed ten-color domain was not fully activated.

In a flash, he understood.

Although the Ten-Colored Domain is only a part of the Mechanical Flow Treasure, the Ten-Colored Void Sea, its activation requirements are still incredibly high, requiring comprehension of the Ten Fundamental Laws. He hasn't yet fully grasped the Law of Time, so he cannot fully activate it.

Even if it cannot be fully activated, its power is still much stronger than when it was fully activated in the Nine Color Domain form.

According to his estimation, its power is already at the level of a typical supreme treasure.

"I like this treasure. Although it has high requirements for activation, its power is amazing." Zhang Yi was quite pleased.

Once he fully comprehends the laws of time and can completely control the Ten Color Domains, who knows how powerful it will be.

From this, we can infer how astonishing the power of the complete Ten-Colored Void Lake would be!
"It seems we'll have to use the attraction of the Ten Color Domain to conduct a large-scale search," Zhang Yi pondered. The newly formed Ten Color Domain's attraction range is likely much larger than before, and with some time, it's certainly possible to search the cosmic sea.

Thinking of this, he could no longer contain his emotions.

It just so happens that the trials of the giant axe and the teacher will take at least an epoch. During this time, I will travel through the cosmic ocean to find the last piece of metal.

According to Zhang Yi's calculations, the sensing range of the ten color gamut is at least one hundred million light-years.

The three extreme zones are each about 100 million light-years away.

In theory, as long as you get close, you can sense it. However, since the two holy sites are over billions of light-years in diameter, you can only try your luck.

Outside the spaceship, a spacetime sphere appeared amidst endless chaotic currents of air. Zhang Yi stood in the control room, gazing at the enormous ship before him.

Using his privileges, he arrived at the outside of the spaceship at an extremely fast speed.

"Let's go to the nearest Peak Realm first."

The white spacetime sphere transformed into a streak of light, flying at a hundred times the speed of light through the endless chaotic air currents.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yi stood inside the spacetime sphere, his expression somewhat unnatural.

“I have explored all the small universes of the three great cycles of reincarnation, the three dangerous places, and the two holy places, and I found nothing.”

"It seems that the remaining core metal block is either located in the center of the two holy sites, which is why I can't sense it."

"Or it's in the primordial universe."

He makes judgments.

He couldn't enter and explore the two great holy land universes, but the primordial universe...
"Perfect timing. I also plan to return to the original universe and place the basic heritage I have compiled into the human race."

With this in mind, Zhang Yi piloted the spacetime sphere toward the primordial universe.

They spent three days in the cosmic sea.

In the primordial universe, outside the Toya black hole, Zhang Yi, clad in dark gold armor, burst forth.

"Let's not go back to the original secret realm yet. I refuse to believe we can't find it."

Immediately afterwards, he began a comprehensive exploration of the primordial universe directly from the Toya black hole.

The primordial universe was vast, and even with his ability to travel through time and space, his exploration was quite slow.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yi appeared out of thin air in a void.

Having given up hope, he was about to teleport away again.

"Hmm?" He looked down at the ten-color domain in his hand, the ten-sided cube was trembling slightly.

"There's a show."

He quickly teleported away in the direction he sensed.

In the dark void, Zhang Yi floated in mid-air, frowning as he stared at the distance not far in front of him.

Hundreds of light-years away from his location lies a cosmic secret realm, and according to his senses, the last piece of metal is within this realm.

"It's here!"

"It's troublesome."

This cosmic secret realm is called the 'Changjiu Secret Realm'. It is one of the core secret realms of the demon race, and its status is equivalent to the original secret realms of the human race.

As you can tell from the name, this is the place guarded by the Lord of Changjiu.

"The Lord of Changjiu is second only to the two great demon ancestors in the demon race. He has top-tier strength at the fifth rank, comparable to my teacher." Zhang Yi silently recalled the information in his mind.

Although he now possesses the secret technique of burning divine power, combined with the Samsara Spear, his strength is heaven-defying.

In the cosmic sea, one could even kill the Lord of Changjiu.

However, in the primordial universe, the strength he could exert was at most that of a top-tier sixth-order cultivator. If he rashly entered the secret realm, he would be unable to do anything to Lord Changjiu in a short period of time.

Soon, those two demon ancestors will descend.

This would only alert them and make them wary.
