Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 257 The Second Main Body's Opportunity to Go to the Origin Continent

In the cosmic sea, at the location of the head of a colossal humanoid creature, the Flowing Light Ship appeared in the nearby void.

Inside the Flowing Light Ship, Zhang Yi and a group of powerful members of the human faction looked in amazement at the abyss not far away.

"This must be the gap in the mouth of this behemoth, right?" a cosmic being couldn't help but say. "Just this gap in the mouth is about 190 million light-years long and about 12 light-years wide?"

The other powerful figures also watched in amazement.

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
Streams of light appeared in an instant, then disappeared into the abyss before them. Clearly, these were the palace treasures that other forces of the cosmic sea had entered to explore.

"Lord of Chaos City, Time and Space, let's go in too. If we're late, other forces will get there first."

"Yes, let's hurry up, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

One after another, the universe lords of the Hongmeng Alliance spoke up, while the universe lords of the human race remained silent.

The Lord of Chaos looked around and understood the thoughts of these alien universe lords from the human faction.

These alien races followed humans and, although they also inherited some ancient civilizations, these were extremely simplified. With these, it would be difficult to even give birth to a true god, let alone transcend reincarnation.

The arrival of this colossal entity is very likely the fourth forbidden zone that the primordial cosmic will spoke of millions of years ago.

The new Jedi is a place where danger and opportunity coexist; those who enter early will reap greater benefits.

"In that case, then"

"Teacher, wait a moment." Before the Chaos City Lord could finish speaking, Zhang Yi, who was standing at the forefront and gazing into the abyss, suddenly said.

Then, he turned around, looked at the group of alien cosmic lords from the Hongmeng Alliance behind him, and said:

"Gentlemen, if you trust me, do not rush in for now, just wait here."

"Time and Space, do you mean we're just going to sit here and wait?"

"That would benefit other forces."

"Yes, if you're late, you'll be late every step of the way."

Each of the universe's rulers was anxious, but dared not act rashly.

Currently, Zhang Yi is one of the three leaders of the Hong Alliance, which is centered around the human race.

Coupled with its own formidable strength, its status is self-evident.

"Of course, I won't forcibly stop you. Make your own choice," Zhang Yi's voice rang out again.

There was a commotion around them, clearly indicating that these alien universe lords each had their own thoughts.

After a short while, eight alien universe lords decided to go in and explore, and Zhang Yi naturally stopped stopping them.

As for humanity itself, not a single one of the universe's rulers went there.

Even Luo Feng, who had been unable to contain himself, glanced at his teacher Zhang Yi and suppressed his inner impulse.

Within the virtual universe, Zhang Yi, the Lord of Chaos City, Giant Axe, Luo Feng, and several other top figures from the human race gathered together.

"Zhang Yi, do you know about the situation in this Fourth Forbidden Land?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

Zhang Yi's confident words, despite the enormous size of the machine, naturally puzzled him.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Teacher, I did learn a little from the Origin Will, but not much. I believe that soon the Origin Will will fully disclose the specific situation of the Fourth Forbidden Land."

"As for now, let's hope that the powerful figures from various forces who have rashly entered the exploration are not too reckless, otherwise the losses will be huge."

"Huh?" The others were all startled. What did that mean?
“This fourth perilous place is far more dangerous than the other three,” Zhang Yi said.

However, most powerful figures from other forces would send those with the ability to create clones. For example, the eight universe lords in the Hong Alliance who couldn't resist each had clones.

As time went by, news kept coming in.

Fall!

Fall!

Fall!

All the powerful figures dispatched by various forces in the Cosmic Sea to explore the colossal creature perished without exception.

Even the God-Eye Clan from the first cycle of reincarnation risked sending their Universe Lord into the palace of supreme treasures, yet they still perished, and the palace of supreme treasures was also damaged.

This completely shocked all forces. This so-called fourth forbidden land not only had an absurdly high death rate, but even the supreme treasure palace, which was previously known as absolutely safe, was no longer effective.

These powerful forces were in complete chaos.

As countless powerful individuals fearlessly explored, the miniature universe within the colossal object was discovered. However, those who dared to enter rashly were annihilated by the membrane of the miniature universe.

Beyond the void outside the colossal head, inside a massive palace made of white bones, the Skeleton Lord, seated high on his throne, looked at the numerous powerful Skeleton Clan members within the hall and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

He originally decided to take the risk and send an avatar of the Lord of the Universe into the palace of supreme treasures.

However, a reminder message from Zhang Yi made him change his mind, and he only arranged for a peak-level palace treasure to enter.

This prevented even greater losses.

"Zhang Yi must have a big secret," the Skeleton Master thought to himself.

"The same thing happened last time in the Time and Space World. We need to make a choice before Zhang Yi has fully matured."

Although the Skeleton Race has been getting closer to humans in recent years, they have not joined the human camp, after all, the Skeleton Race is extremely powerful in the cosmic sea.

Now, the Skeleton Lord has completely submitted to the clan. However, although he is the clan's first true god and the strongest, he cannot make such a crucial decision concerning the clan's future on his own.

"Once things settle down in the Fourth Forbidden Zone, we'll find a way to make this happen," the Skeleton Lord decided.

Just as the major powers in the cosmic sea were at a loss, the Primordial Universe Ancestral God Cult, with its three Ancestral Gods claiming to have arrived with the command of the Origin Will, arrived.

In the void near the colossal creature, three Ancestral Gods stood tall, surrounded by the Ten Fundamental Laws. A powerful pressure emanated from the three of them, enveloping nearly a hundred powerful figures from surrounding forces.

"Now that all the major powers of the Cosmic Sea have arrived, I shall begin," the ancient ancestor slowly said. "I believe you have all guessed that this behemoth is the fourth forbidden zone mentioned by the original will of the primordial universe."

"To be precise, the 'Jin World', a small universe within this behemoth, is the true fourth forbidden zone."

The two-faced ancestral god continued, "Of course, many of you powerful individuals have tried to enter it, but all have failed. The reason is that, under normal circumstances, it would not appear even in the endless cycle of reincarnation. However, in the endless universe sea, everything has its own rules of operation. Only when it appears now will there be an opportunity to enter."

"The cosmic membrane of the Jin World that blocks your entry has a cyclical change in power. When it turns black, it is at its strongest, and when it turns white, it is at its weakest. Ordinary universe lords can easily pass through it. Each cycle is approximately one era." "You only need to wait until the membrane of the 'Jin World' turns white, and then you can enter."

"Go and explore," the young Ancestral God said. "You will naturally learn the secrets of transcending reincarnation and the secrets of the Jin World once you enter. Use the Jin World to improve your strength as much as possible."

After the three ancestral gods finished speaking, they vanished without a trace, along with their terrifying majesty.

After the three ancestral gods departed, the powerful beings in the endless chaotic energy returned to their respective palaces and treasures.

Although the three ancestral gods conveyed the message of the original will of the universe, the powerful figures of the various forces in the universe sea would not be foolish enough to completely believe it, and would definitely test it cautiously.

In the virtual universe, the highest group of beings in the human race gathered together to discuss the selection of the first person to enter.

"The Fourth Forbidden Zone? That sounds interesting. Count me in this time." Giant Axe's voice was deep and powerful.

After three million years of cultivation, he has reached a bottleneck in digesting the inheritance of ancient civilizations, and his strength has reached the top of the ninth rank. With the addition of the first level of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, when he unleashes his power, he will be at the level of the original ancestor.

With such strength, apart from Zhang Yi, there is no other opponent in the Cosmic Sea.

Having just heard the three Ancestral Gods mention that there are powerful beings in the Fourth Forbidden Land, he was already impatient.

"Giant Axe, you don't have a clone. Going in on your first try is too dangerous, isn't it?" the Chaos City Lord said, frowning.

"Let's try to let the universe lords with clones enter."

Giant Axe laughed heartily: "I have no desire to wait for such a grand event. Once inside, I will be careful."

The Lord of Chaos City wanted to persuade him further.

"Teacher, with the power of the giant axe, just be careful, and you'll be fine," Zhang Yi said.

The giant axe can already unleash the top-tier power of the tenth rank. Once it obtains a suitable mechanical treasure in the Jin world, its power will be even greater. As long as it doesn't provoke those Void Gods, it will be fine.

The Lord of Chaos City was taken aback. He realized that Zhang Yi had a deep understanding of the Jin world. Since Zhang Yi had already said so, he naturally couldn't say anything more.

And so, the list of those to be included was quickly finalized.

On the human race's side, those who entered included Giant Axe, Zhang Yi, Luo Feng, and the Lord of the Wilderness Mirror.

In fact, entering the Jin world wasn't very significant for Zhang Yi. He could only acquire some suitable mechanical treasures. As for other things, the Wu Kingdom's heritage would only be better.

But he had something else to do, so he naturally planned to go inside.

Two thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Outside the small universe inside the colossal object, there are about two hundred palaces and treasures floating in the air.

Suddenly, on this day, the ever-changing color membrane of the miniature universe turned white.

The surrounding palaces rapidly flew into the miniature universe, choosing to enter from different directions.

Zhang Yi, Ju Fu, Luo Feng, and Huang Jian also entered the miniature universe by riding different palace treasures.

However, the four of them chose to enter in completely different directions.

boom!
The Streamer rushed through the membrane wall and entered the miniature universe, landing on a mountain peak.

"Is this the world of Jin?" Zhang Yi stepped out of the ship and looked around curiously.

"This place is quite similar to the small universe where my second self resides, except that the constraints in that small universe are greater than those in the Jin World."

"My second avatar heard from the Holy Lord of the Holy Land that the restrictions on the Origin Continent are even greater. Unfortunately, these descendants in the small universe are not allowed to leave without sufficient strength."

As his power grew, so did his second self.

In the Chu Yun Holy Land, he dared not reveal his full strength when he was unsure of the specific situation.

Even though he only publicly announced the creation of a top-tier seventh-order secret technique, it already stunned everyone in the Holy Land.

After all, even in history, Chu Yun, the creator of the Chu Yun Holy Land, relied on his own strength to leave the small universe and go to the Origin Continent, and was considered one of the top Eternal True Gods.

Even when he was the Lord of the Universe, he could only create ordinary seventh-order secret techniques.

Now, Zhang Yi has only recently broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and he has already created a top-tier seventh-order secret technique. Isn't that even more outstanding than Chu Yun?

The current Holy Lord of Chu Yun Holy Land, who is also the Holy Land's only Eternal True God, personally descended and met with his second true form.

He indicated that he would pass this message on to Ancestor Chu Yun. If he could leave this place and go to the Origin Continent with Ancestor Chu Yun's help, his cultivation speed would be unmatched by this place.

"Logically speaking, as long as one's strength reaches the level of an Eternal True God, there is a chance to leave this place. However, I only broke through to the level of an Eternal True God by relying on bloodline cultivation and with the assistance of the origin of the small universe after becoming a Holy Lord. For a great emperor, someone like me with no potential is better off staying in the small universe and nurturing geniuses." The current Holy Lord felt extremely sad when he said these words.

As a member of this small universe, my greatest wish is to go to the Origin Continent. After all, although this small universe is large, it is still too small for the Eternal True God.

“Duanmu Yi, your talent is far superior to mine, and your future is much brighter. I believe that once you reach the Origin Continent and receive proper training, you will definitely soar to great heights,” said the current Holy Lord. “I will do my best to help you go to the Origin Continent, since everything is still too inferior in this small universe.”

Zhang Yi sighed inwardly.

Although his second true form is on the Origin Continent, it is currently still within this small universe, and its speed of comprehending the laws is not much faster than that of the original universe.

However, if one goes to the Origin Continent and listens to the Chaos Ruins mentioned by the current Holy Lord, and comprehends the laws of chaos within it, it will be like facing chaos directly, and the speed of comprehending the laws of chaos will increase dramatically.

Cultivating within it greatly increases the chances of reaching the Chaos Realm.

He was silently making plans in his mind.

According to the current Holy Lord, there are generally two ways to leave: one is to follow the path of comprehending the laws and break through to become an Eternal True God, which would allow one to travel to the Origin Continent.

This is also the path taken by the three first-generation Holy Lords of the three major holy lands in this small universe.

They are also the only three strong individuals who have left based on their own strength over the long years.

Of course, there is another way: becoming a peerless genius.

As long as one can create at least a top-tier seventh-order secret technique at the level of the Lord of the Universe, there will be a chance to leave.

Of course, it's just an opportunity, not a certainty.

This is also why the contemporary Holy Lord Society said they would do everything in their power to help him leave.

Because even the Lord of the Universe, after creating a top-tier seventh-order secret technique, must undergo an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment are allowed to leave.

The start time for each assessment is unpredictable.

It will only be activated once a sufficient number of such geniuses are gathered in a large number of miniature universes.
