My gorgeous wife Chapter 2466: The World Beyond the Starry Universe

Chapter 2466: Chapter 2434: The World Beyond the Starry Universe

The void is traceless, the vastness without end.

Here, there is not even the concept of space and Time, because nothing exists that can serve as comparison, and all measures of time and even units of measurement here lose their function.

This place is Vast Nihility.

In that boundless expanse beyond the relatively tranquil Cosmos of the Universe.

If within the Starry Universe there are still twinkling Stars that can serve as markers and points to confirm direction, then here, there is nothing at all.

A stretch of pure nihility.

Even someone as powerful as a Palm Realm Powerhouse, here can only rely on his own True Form Universe as a foothold, as protection, and as the sole means of movement.

Here, there is not even the concept of Light and darkness, because everything here, aside from some Cosmic Relic remnants that only reveal themselves when one draws near, is all in a state of “nonexistence.”

And at this moment, in this place of nihility, several figures were standing within the void.

Outside their bodies, there were faint, indistinct phantom Universes.

Without doubt, judging by these phantom Universes, it was easy to tell that these few people were all Palm Realm Powerhouses.

And at the very least, they were Dao Saints.

Because their Universes had already taken shape, not the Pseudo-Universe of the Heaven and Earth Realm, but the Yin Universe that only a Dao Saint possesses!

“So this is the true ‘outside the Universe’…”

Looking at the stretch of nihility beyond his own Universe, a rare trace of emotion showed in Li Haoheng’s eyes.

He vaguely remembered that in those years they had explored around Eight Directions Star for nearly ten thousand years before reaching a single conclusion.

If his father had not perished in that great war, then he had already completely left the Starry Universe.

Yet back then, in their eyes, leaving the Starry Universe was nearly impossible.

For according to the words of those elders who had experienced the Seven Realms war, once you walked out of the Starry Universe, it was tantamount to certain death.

All the more so given that Li Chen at that time had only been an Ancient Ancestor.

In a place where even Dao Saints and Sky-covering Level experts could, with the slightest misstep, be seriously injured or even fall, how could an Ancient Ancestor possibly survive?

Through these Eighty Million Years, had it not been for the news previously brought by the Taoist Saint of the Three Pure Ones, they would long since have assumed that Li Chen would never return.

It was not that they did not believe in Li Chen.

But Eighty Million Years were simply far too long.

“According to the information we extracted from the mind of that Era-Ancient Civilization Palm Realm expert, is everything beyond the Universe all like this?” Zhong Tian could not help but shake his head. “In such an environment, how could any living beings exist?”

“The Starry Universe is already quite vast, yet compared to this truly boundless Vast Nihility, it probably can still only be called a corner of a corner.” Ming Meng Dao Saint spoke slowly.

“Back then, I actually accompanied my master once beyond the Starry Universe, and we went to a place even farther than the Minor Universe. That place is the true…”

For some reason, as she spoke to this point, Ming Meng Dao Saint did not continue.

Perhaps she merely feared that if she went on, her words would shatter the confidence of the others present.

In their eyes, the Starry Universe was already immense, and an Ancient Ancestor Dao Saint counted as a powerhouse of a region.

But what had she seen back then?

One after another, ruined Universes, and those corpses drifting among the wreckage, remains so vast that even Vast Nihility, after countless years, could not completely dissolve them.

Her master had said that in Vast Nihility, once you lose the protection of a Universe, death is almost certain.

Yet that corpse, though it had clearly already lost the Breath of Life, and the Power of the Universe could clearly no longer be wielded, still remained jammed amid that cosmic wreckage; no matter how many ages passed, it could still not be erased.

Her master said that this was a powerhouse who had thoroughly refined a Universe into his own body; his body itself was a Universe.

At the time Mingmeng had not understood what that meant, until, when she approached, she discovered it.

The size of that cosmic wreckage far exceeded her expectations.

And that corpse was even more colossal—larger by far than several Starfields of the Starry Universe combined!

His body itself a Universe!

What a terrifying level of power that was!

Back then, the true invincible powerhouse of the Starry Universe, the Supreme of the Starry Sky who, alone, annihilated several Origin Realm Powerhouses of the Era-Ancient Civilization and then single-handedly Sealed the World-Destroying Beast, upon seeing that Heaven-shrouding, sun-obliterating colossal corpse, merely said, with an indescribable look on his face:

“In life, this man was by no means weaker than I.”

Yet even such a powerhouse had fallen.

His corpse drifted among cosmic wreckage.

Truly… a death without even a burial ground.

How pitiful, how desolate was that?

From that moment on, Mingmeng understood that the Universe was their true An Family dwelling place; the terror beyond the Universe far surpassed the imagination of all beings.

“The Era-Ancient Civilization’s Minor Universe is not far from the Starry Universe.” Guangming spoke slowly. “Vast Nihility is far too dreadful; even those Era-Ancient Civilizations that possess Origin Realm Powerhouses only dare cling to the Starry Universe in Parasitism, and do not dare be too far away.”

“Because even a Minor Universe that possesses Origin Realm Powerhouses could, in this Vast Nihility, still fall!” Ming Meng Dao Saint said, eyes hooded.

Hearing Mingmeng and Guangming’s words, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly, and they too became more cautious.

For Mingmeng and Guangming could not possibly be lying to them, nor had any need to.

Only Haoheng and the others looked somewhat grim; if the outside of the Universe was truly dangerous to such a degree, then Father…

Netherworld came to Haoheng’s side, lightly patted his shoulder, his gaze voicing without sound what he wished to convey.

“Father will be all right.”

For no other reason than that he is our father; for no other reason than that his name is Li Chen!

The group moved at astonishing speed, traveling along the boundary of the Starry Universe through Vast Nihility according to a certain pattern.

For the Starry Universe truly was too enormous; even for an Era-Ancient Civilization’s Minor Universe, searching for it outside the Starry Universe was not so easy.

“Found it!”

Suddenly, Guangming halted, his right hand forming a strange seal, then pointing in a direction.

All of them were Palm Source Realm powerhouses; their comprehension of the Power of the Universe had reached an extreme Realm, able to truly make the source of universal power their own. Even in this nearly boundless Vast Nihility, they very quickly arrived at the place Guangming had indicated.

There, a Universe was quietly rotating, like a planet.

Yet in size, it was countless times larger than a mere planet.

But compared with the Starry Universe to the side, it seemed small.

Even at an extremely great distance, they could still see that outside this Universe, a faint, indistinct Spatial Wormhole had opened…

“First destroy the wormhole so they cannot continue their invasion of the Starry Universe for the time being, and then we…”

Ning Wangyang slowly drew the pitch-black Longsword from his back.

“Go avenge ourselves!”
