The Starry Universe is forever mysterious and vast.
Even the Four Great Realms are only part of the Starry Universe, not the entirety.
Under each Great Realm, there are nurous small worlds connected, these small planets and spaces are scattered in every corner of the Starry Universe, and all Realm Gate Passages were established bit by bit by the strong ones from the Four Great Realms.
It can be said that the Four Great Realms have earned their position in the Starry Universe through the efforts of countless strong individuals over countless years.
Yet, beyond the Four Great Realms in the Starry Universe, no one knows what else exists.
Although the Four Great Realms and so of their subordinate small worlds occupy nearly three-quarters of the entire Starry Universe.
There is still that one-quarter, which remains unknown.
No one knows what lies in that final one-quarter.
The Four Great Realms have sent many strong individuals to explore that last unknown starry sky over the years, but except for a legendary return of a single person, none of the others have ever returned.
"Where is this place?"
When Li Chen regained consciousness once more, his mind was still in chaos.
He was able to stay alert when entering the black hole, but when erging from the other end of the white hole, he was not so lucky.
Even with full defense and the Supre Treasure on him, he was not lightly shocked.
But luckily, he didn’t collide with any large planet; instead, he hit a tiny asteroid.
Then, Li Chen decisively fell into a coma, as expected, the tiny asteroid naturally ended up smashed to pieces.
When Li Chen woke up, he found himself in this place.
"What a thick Aura of Destruction!"
Li Chen sensed it, and his expression slightly changed.
He possesses the Law of Destruction himself, so he is naturally familiar with this scent.
However, what surprised Li Chen was that this place was filled with the aura of the Law of Destruction everywhere.
Truth be told, despite cultivating for so long, it’s the first ti Li Chen has seen the Law of Destruction outside of himself.
Looking up, the surrounding is still vast and boundless starry sky, only, Li Chen noticed that the starry sky here seed sowhat different from the starry sky he was in before.
The stars here are generally dimr, and more importantly, it’s the Aura of Destruction that Li Chen feels.
The entire starry sky seems to be in a state of complete silence.
Even the stars are dim and lifeless, as if they’ve long since died.
"What is this place?" Li Chen couldn’t help asking the Supre Treasures.
"Don’t know." Several Supre Treasures also expressed they had never been here, all with a look of bewildernt.
"I think... I’ve heard of it." At this mont, the Bagua Array Diagram said with doubt.
"the Eight?" The other Supre Treasures were all surprised.
This ti, the Bagua Array Diagram did not blabber nonsensically, instead, it spoke earnestly: "You all know my capability. Ever since ancient tis, only those with great luck can sense my presence, unless they are eccentric folks. I stayed beside a guy nad Ji Chang for a while, he seed to have ntioned there’s an unknown region in the starry sky."
"According to him, this unknown region can also be counted as part of the Starry Universe, only it was completely destroyed in an ancient battle."
"As for the specific situation, he couldn’t figure it out."
"Wait a minute." At this point, Li Chen couldn’t help interrupting: "You said his na is Ji Chang?"
"Yes."
"Didn’t he write a book called ’I Ching’?" Li Chen’s expression turned odd instantly.
"That’s just a bit of insight he gained from ." The Bagua Array Diagram scoffed.
Li Chen was montarily at a loss for words.
"Are you talking about... the battle even we couldn’t participate in?" The Primordial Heavy Water suddenly asked.
"...It should be that battle." The Bagua Array Diagram uncharacteristically paused for a mont, then continued.
"What are you guys talking about!" At this point the Five Elents Boots interrupted: "Shouldn’t we first figure out how to leave this place?"
"I think he’s right." The Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror agreed.
"Five makes sense." The Heavenly Dao Pearl also concurred.
"Since even you agree, then there’s no problem." Li Chen added.
The Five Elents Boots felt the atmosphere was quite off: "What do you an by this?"
"You guess." Li Chen rolled his eyes, with a flash of light, the Five Elents Boots appeared on his feet.
"Oh dear, do I have to be the labor again?" The Five Elents Boots cried out.
"Stop whining, you’re the best runner here, who else should exert effort if not you?"
Yet, as everyone was talking, the entire starry sky abruptly trembled.
Under Li Chen’s astonished gaze, the countless stars surrounding them suddenly shattered amidst this tremor.
Like porcelain, these stars suddenly shattered into dust, covering the entire starry sky.
"What... what’s going on?"
"Not good!" Primordial Heavy Water realized sothing was wrong and shouted: "Run!!"
"Go!"
Li Chen didn’t hesitate for a mont, activating the Five Elents Boots, and in a flash, disappeared from that part of the starry sky.
When Li Chen reappeared, he was thousands of light-years away.
As his cultivation level improved, his mastery of the Five Elents Boots also grew stronger. Now, he could truly traverse the starry universe at will if he wanted to.
However, Li Chen wasn’t feeling proud, because when he turned back, the Eye of the Dao saw clearly that the starry sky where he had been... was gone!
It didn’t vanish, but everything there, including the stars, had completely disappeared.
Without the faint glow of the stars, the entire starry sky was plunged into endless darkness, as if nothing existed.
Looking back, an inexplicable chill crept into Li Chen’s heart.
What on earth had happened here?
What was hidden here, or what power, had caused the entire starry sky to disappear?
"We’re not out yet, Broken Boots, you need to work harder! By the way, what was that ghostly thing just now?" The Bagua Array Diagram suddenly spoke up, his voice tinged with fear.
"I don’t know..." Primordial Heavy Water said solemnly, "But I’m certain it’s sothing terrifying that even we haven’t seen before."
"Let’s get out of here, I never want to co back to this ghostly place again," the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror said, shivering. "A battle that buried a chunk of the starry sky, who knows what’s left here."
"Escape!"
Li Chen hesitated no more, controlling the Five Elents Boots to flee once again.
However, after dozens of escapes, Li Chen suddenly stopped.
Because he found that this surrounding starry sky was sowhat familiar.
"We’re going in circles!" The Bagua Array Diagram said through gritted teeth. "I felt sothing was off before. So this ghostly place is covered with a massive formation spread across the starry sky."
"A formation spread across the starry sky?" Despite being jaded by recent events, Li Chen was still shocked by the Bagua Array Diagram’s words.
A formation spanning a starry sky? How is that possible?
As a Sixth Grade Heavenly Pill Master and Array Master, Li Chen had so mastery over the Formation Path, but even he couldn’t believe there existed a formation that could span a starry sky in this universe.
"No wonder the Four Realms have sent people to explore the unknown starry sky, but no one has ever returned. Turns out there’s such a terrifying formation here," Five Elents Boots said. "Even I can’t get out, let alone others."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen’s heart sank.
Can’t get out?
Then what should he do?
"Don’t worry, boss. Others can’t get out, but haven’t we got the Eight?" At this point, the Heavenly Dao Pearl spoke up.
"Don’t call the Eight!" The Bagua Array Diagram said irritably. "However, while others definitely can’t get out, I... I might give it a try. It’s just that I don’t know what this formation is for..."
"Rumble!!!"
The entire starry sky trembled again, and Li Chen’s expression changed. Without thinking much, he instantly activated the Five Elents Boots to leave the area.
Yet, when he turned back again, he found the previous stretch of starry sky had disappeared once more.
"What the hell is this?!" Li Chen was both angry and puzzled.
The supre treasures remained silent because they too couldn’t perceive what was causing the starry sky to disappear.
"Do you think..." At this mont, Red Moon, who had been silent, hesitantly spoke up. "Could this formation be a seal, used to imprison so powerful being?"
"Hmm, makes sense..." The Bagua Array Diagram nodded subconsciously but then froze abruptly.
Not only him, but the other treasures, including Li Chen, were also stunned.
Because if this conjecture was true, how terrifying must the sealed being be?
Even a spiritual treasure at the Daoist Lord Realm was sealed with just an underground cave in Remnant Cloud Forest, yet this creature or creatures needed an entire starry sky to be sealed?
Moreover, the unknown lands occupy a quarter of the entire starry universe!
If this quarter of the area is all a seal, then calling it a seal is inadequate; it’s more like drawing boundaries to govern it.
"I’ve figured it out!" At this mont, the Bagua Array Diagram suddenly announced. "There’s a black hole two thousand light-years ahead; it’s the only way out."
"Another black hole?" Li Chen felt a headache.
"Aren’t you going?"
"Go!"
Without any further words, Li Chen maneuvered the Five Elents Boots, swiftly passing through.
However, just as Li Chen left, the entire starry sky seed to suddenly close tightly around him.
All the hairs on Li Chen’s body stood on end almost instantly, cold sweat drenching him as he fled without looking back.
