Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 351 Powers in the Cosmic Sea

The Toya black hole is considered one of the most powerful black holes in the primordial universe.

chi chi...

The terrifying gravitational pull acting on it—a pull so strong that even light cannot escape—would be enough to instantly obliterate a cosmic being if it were applied to them.

However, for Luo Xia's divine body, which had already been elevated to a life gene level of more than 80,000 times, there was no pressure at all.

Luo Xia and the Lord of Chaos City were flying through the black hole... no, it was more like they were being pulled deeper by gravity.

This feeling is wonderful.

Only when you are truly inside the deepest part of a black hole can you truly feel the power of the universe.

This power comes from the visual.

It is a completely different concept from the deeper level of the origin of the universe.

"That is the true form of the Toya black hole."

The Lord of Chaos pointed downwards.

There is no distinction between up, down, left, and right in the universe, but in a black hole—where there is a specific frame of reference—there is a distinction between up, down, left, and right.

Luo Xia looked toward the location pointed out by the Chaos City Lord and saw only an extremely stable sphere.

It was a sphere about three meters tall, entirely black.

The surface of the sphere is covered with dark golden patterns, and countless patterns form a very strange design...

This sphere with dark gold patterns is the black hole itself, generating an endless and terrifying gravitational pull.

Surrounding this sphere is one of the membrane walls of the primordial universe, which has now been torn open by this terrifying gravity, creating a "hole" with a diameter of nearly 10,000 kilometers.

call out!call out!

Luo Xia and the Lord of Chaos flew past the black hole's main body, completely resisting the sphere's gravity.

They flew out through the irregular hole in the torn membrane!

As soon as Rorschach flew into the cosmic sea, he saw a chaotic current of air that looked like mist.

The endless chaotic energy generated immense pressure, surging and rolling like waves, radiating overwhelming power.

Although these chaotic currents did not attack intentionally, their natural pressure alone was enough to obliterate an immortal god.

"This kind of pressure is comparable to the full-force attack of some universe venerables."

Luo Xia marveled at the oppressive force emanating from the chaotic energy.

"The chaotic energy is the energy source of the universe."

The Lord of Chaos City stood in the void, looking at the endless chaotic currents in front of him.

"I'm not sure if the primordial universe originated from this chaotic energy flow."

"But the miniature universes of the strongest beings in the universe all use this chaotic energy as their energy source. The chaotic energy in the cosmic sea has the highest purity, at least much purer than the chaotic energy in our initial universe."

Upon hearing this, Rorschach fell into deep thought.

From his current observation of the origin of the universe, the energy source of the primordial universe seems to be a kind of power that is more advanced and powerful than the chaotic energy flow, and that kind of energy constitutes the origin of the primordial universe.

It cannot be destroyed, and it is endless.

Even the Beasts, natural enemies of the primordial universe, could not destroy or devour that most fundamental energy.

The Lord of Chaos City then looked at Luo Xia and smiled, "Now we can officially say that we have left the Primal Universe and entered the Cosmic Sea."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked behind him.

Rorschach also turned around.

Standing in the void and turning around, not far behind, was the irregularly torn opening in the membrane wall.

If you look away from the cave entrance, you can see the enormous membrane of the primordial universe spreading outwards, like a huge curtain that seems to have no end, dividing the entire primordial universe and the cosmic sea into two different worlds.

"The primordial universe..."

This is the first time Rorschach has stepped outside the primordial universe and looked at it from the perspective of looking at an "apple".

He had a strange feeling in his heart—a feeling like the ancient Earth's pursuit of "transcending the Five Elements and not being within the Three Realms".

"let's go."

The Lord of Chaos City, along with Luo Xia, instantly teleported to a void.

Rorschach, who was visiting the Cosmic Sea for the first time, could only let his teacher lead him.

Once he becomes familiar with it, he will be able to explore the cosmic sea on his own.

There are 39 twisted spatial openings around the void, all of which are naturally formed wormholes.

"These natural wormholes are the ones recorded on the map. You should be able to tell where these wormholes lead, right?" the Chaos City Lord said to his disciple.

"Um."

Luo Xia nodded; the map given by the Chaos City Lord was indeed very accurate.

"We're going to enter that wormhole now. What's its number on the map?"

The Lord of Chaos City began his examination.

Without hesitation, Rorschach answered, "Wormhole 15."

"Very good, it seems you've really remembered it well." The Chaos City Lord was very satisfied and took the lead in rushing towards wormhole number 15. "Let's go, follow me closely!"

Rorschach followed.

The master and apprentice kept teleporting inside the wormhole!

At the level of the Lord of the Universe, their teleportation can maintain an extremely high frequency.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Luo Xia and the Lord of Chaos City emerged from a spatial vortex.

"Teacher, where is this...?"

As far as the eye could see, a gigantic celestial body floated in the hazy, chaotic airflow, its enormous cosmic membrane stretching out as far as the eye could see.

The cosmic membrane was extremely damaged, with numerous broken and irregular holes and cracks, allowing chaotic air currents to completely pass through the cosmic sea and the cosmic membrane.

The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "This is the reference point on the map, a shattered small universe with a diameter of about one hundred million light-years."

Rorschach pondered, "The strongest being in the universe that gave birth to it is already dead?"

The Lord of Chaos nodded. "The strongest being in the universe has fallen, so his miniature universe naturally crumbled."

The strongest cultivators, when they reach their peak, become the strongest beings in the universe, while the highest level of development of a divine kingdom results in a miniature universe.

If immortal gods and cosmic sovereigns perish, their divine kingdoms will become desolate and ruined.

If the strongest being in the universe were to perish, his miniature universe would also crumble.

Of course, there are also those like the Dream Demon Ancestor, who, in order to save their lives, directly blew up their own miniature universe in exchange for survival.

Such a powerful being in the universe lost its future, and also lost its own miniature universe.

The Lord of Chaos City gazed at the dilapidated miniature universe with a rather sentimental expression. After Luo Xia had examined the miniature universe for a while, he spoke up, "I'll take you inside for a look."

Whoosh!

The Lord of Chaos City teleported with Luo Xia to the vicinity of a cosmic membrane.

The terrifying chaotic currents of air continuously eroded the membrane of the miniature universe, causing its edges to crumble.

A large number of space fragments can be seen.

Among these space fragments are fragments of planets and continents.

Rorschach even saw many mountains and broken corpses in a piece of spatial fragment.

wow...

A piece of the cosmic membrane, extremely far away from Rorschach and his group, suddenly broke off.

These detached membranes are like space debris, drifting aimlessly under the influence of chaotic air currents.

They collide from time to time, making space more fragmented, and the planets, continents, corpses and other things contained in the space fragments also become more fragmented.

As the teacher, Lord Chaos City, said, this miniature universe is constantly collapsing...

"The primordial universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. As time passed, the primordial universe would rapidly decline and even be destroyed after reaching its most prosperous peak! Then a new cycle of birth would begin... Each cycle would give birth to billions of races, many geniuses, some of the strongest beings in the universe, and a large number of universe lords."

"Each cycle of reincarnation is incredibly long."

"Each cycle has a group of the strongest beings in the universe, and each strongest being in a universe corresponds to a small universe."

"Small universes drift in the cosmic ocean, moving farther and farther away, many long beyond the boundaries of our cosmic exploration. At least 18022 small universes have already been discovered!"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at the fragments of the continent and the shattered divine corpses floating in the chaotic air currents and spoke slowly.

Rorschach blinked as he listened, which meant that the number of the strongest beings in the universe at one time had reached an astonishing 18022!

"Now, I'll give you a definition: consider our cycle of reincarnation as the Third Universe Era." The Chaos City Lord looked at his disciple and began to teach some knowledge that ordinary people could not know. "Therefore, the cycle before us was the Second Universe Era. And the cycle before that was the First Universe Era."

"The entire cosmic sea... apart from the two holy lands, only three powerful beings from different cosmic eras remain. All other reincarnations have been annihilated."

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "Teacher, doesn't this mean that most of the strongest beings in the universe can only survive for a maximum of three cosmic eras?"

"Perhaps the original ancestor can answer this question for you."

The Lord of Chaos nodded. "But based on the information we have now, it seems that the entire cosmic sea can only allow the strongest to survive for three cosmic eras... You can discuss this topic with the Primordial Ancestor when you return. Now, let me tell you about the differences between the three cosmic eras."

Luo Xia nodded, listening quietly to the teacher's words.

The Lord of Chaos City continued, "Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of reproduction, while the first two cycles have completed their cycles, naturally giving birth to far more powerful beings than we have."

"Therefore, among the three cosmic eras, our third era should be the weakest. The first era was the strongest because it had a great many of the strongest beings and cosmic lords."

Rorschach nodded.

The principle is very simple.

In the early stages of the universe's development, the rate at which powerful beings are born is certainly very slow, because secret techniques, inheritances, and so on all need to be created and perfected. As time goes on, the efficiency of cultivating powerful beings will naturally continue to increase.

Their third cosmic era may have only completed half of its cycle. The first two eras were complete, and the number of powerful beings was naturally much greater than in their third era.

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and smiled:

"Of course, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Back in the day, the Primordial Ancestor roamed the universe and was absolutely invincible! The strongest beings from other universes would all avoid him."

As he spoke, he looked at his good disciple, his smile widening.

The Lord of Chaos City sometimes felt that it was an incredibly wise move to release the news of his intention to take Luo Xia as his disciple back during the Genius Battle.

Otherwise, such a talented disciple might not necessarily become his master and apprentice.

The Lord of Chaos City said:

"You now possess the same prowess as the Primordial Ancestor did back then, but the Primordial Ancestor was already the strongest being in the universe. You are still the Lord of the Universe now. Moreover, once you enter the Cosmic Sea, you can no longer rely on the power of the Primordial Universe. If you encounter a powerful enemy, you must be cautious."

Luo Xia nodded. "Disciple understands." He paused slightly, then feigned confusion and asked, "Teacher, you mentioned two great holy lands... Are they forces within the cosmic sea?"

"There are two small universes in the cosmic sea that have always been very prosperous. Based on the information we have, we speculate that they should be the small universes of the strongest universes from ten or even one hundred cycles before us."

Rorschach frowned. "Why did the strongest beings in other universes perish after three cosmic eras, while these two holy lands have been able to survive for hundreds of cosmic cycles?"

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head. "You should ask the Primordial Ancestor about that... Luo Xia, the questions you're asking are still far from your reach for now, so don't worry about them for the time being."

"Yes, teacher, I understand," Rorschach said.

The Lord of Chaos City continued:

"I will continue to explain to you the forces in this cosmic sea—the various powerful figures from the three cosmic eras and the two holy lands. These are the forces in the endless cosmic sea."

It is true that every cosmic era is not united, just as our Third Cosmic Era is divided into nine super powers, twelve top powers, and so on.

The first and second cosmic eras were also divided into dozens of factions, making the endless cosmic sea quite chaotic; any force not aligned with your own could suddenly attack you.
