A thunderous roar came from the depths of the passage. Xingchen looked up and saw a distorted spacetime turbulence in front of him.
Those spatial rifts were like ferocious, gaping maws, ready to devour any intruders at any moment.
As they went deeper, the pressure increased. Xingchen felt his bones creaking, as if he would be crushed into a meat patty at any moment. Occasionally, he could see the figures of other cosmic venerables around him, but they were all far away, wary of each other.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a spatial rift exploded beside Xingchen, and the violent tearing force instantly pulled him in. Xingchen's pupils contracted, and he immediately activated his battle armor for defense.
"boom!"
The crimson armor erupted with a blinding light, managing to withstand the attack. However, the star was also pushed off its course by the force, flying towards the edge of the passage.
The space at the edge of the passage is even more unstable; once caught in it, even a cosmic overlord would suffer greatly.
Xingchen acted decisively, unleashing his divine power to forcibly stabilize himself.
"Order it for me!"
He let out a low shout and stomped his feet heavily in mid-air, managing to stop his retreat.
It's already this dangerous before we even reach the original planet...
After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared ahead.
"arrive!"
Xingchen's spirits lifted, and he sped up to rush towards the light.
……
"This is the Primordial Star!"
The stars stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance.
Behind him was the vortex passage, which was in mid-air.
"Vast and boundless".
Standing in mid-air, I felt an endless pressure acting on my body; this terrifying pressure far exceeded that of a neutron star.
The stars slowly descended, stepping onto the mountain forest filled with fallen leaves.
There were 10081 original stars, each the same size, with a diameter of about 1 billion kilometers!
The spatial fluctuations on the entire primordial star completely ceased, and the immense pressure was enough to turn ordinary immortal gods into nothingness. This powerful pressure caused the space to tremble, making it impossible for divine kingdoms to teleport.
Unable to teleport! Unable to teleport to a divine realm!
A diameter of only 1 billion kilometers may not seem large to super-strong beings, but it's important to understand that under such terrifying pressure, although they could accelerate to near the speed of light, acceleration would take much longer. Sudden turns, changes in speed, and shifts in direction would all be significantly slower than in the outside world.
This immense pressure...
It's like the domain released by a huge domain-type artifact.
"The pressure is immense; I can feel it even in my body."
Xingchen walked carefully step by step, and after a while, she walked out of the forest and reached the foot of the mountain.
In the distance lies a vast, desolate wasteland.
The stars moved forward, carefully sensing the energy aura at the same time.
Based on information provided by the virtual universe and the Lord of Chaos City, sensing energy auras on the original star is a method chosen by most powerful individuals to find treasures.
……
"boom!"
After an unknown amount of time, an energy fluctuation traveled a long distance and reached the stars.
"That's over there."
The stars suddenly turned their heads and looked into the distance.
Without hesitation.
boom!
The star instantly transformed into a streak of light, its speed soaring. However, the faster it went, the greater the resistance became.
Chapter 148 Cosmic Powers
"Such heavy pressure, yet the speed is so slow."
Having adapted to the extreme speed of the myriad worlds, the speed here on the primordial planet is as slow as a tortoise!
"Hmph! Wings of Dark Universe!"
boom!
With the blessing of a flying treasure, the speed of the stars instantly accelerated to sub-light speed!
The stars keep flying.
Soon, the figures of seven powerful warriors fighting on the distant mountain peaks came into view.
"Whoosh!"
The stars fell rapidly.
"Seven Cosmic Venerables."
At a glance, one side was clearly a demon race, with a huge size and overwhelming aura, while the other side was a mixed race, which allowed Xingchen to make a quick judgment.
"On one side are the demon race, and on the other side it seems to be the Nine Domains Alliance."
There are nine super powers in the universe, and twelve top powers.
The twelve top powers, in terms of the number of races and the number of cosmic venerables, are not necessarily inferior to the Human Alliance and the Demon Alliance, but they do not have the strongest beings in the universe to oversee them!
"There are also several strong teams keeping an eye on things."
Stars were visible at a glance.
Clearly, the commotion of the battle here had attracted many powerful alien races. Besides their own group, there were several other groups, but they simply watched from a distance and did not intervene.
"The Hell Clan Alliance, the Crystal Clan Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance... and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance's experts, that's just three treasures. We've already obtained two. Let's go, let's let these two from the Nine Domains Alliance go for now."
A Zerg venerable one spoke.
Then it vanished instantly.
The battle above also ended quickly; it was just the emergence of three great treasures, nothing special on this primordial star, not worth their desperate efforts.
As the powerful figures from both the demon race and the Nine Domains Alliance who had been fighting departed, the groups of powerful figures from various races who had been drawn by the commotion naturally exchanged glances from afar before quietly dispersing and leaving.
"As expected, the powerful beings on the Primordial Star are extremely cautious. They won't easily make a move unless they have a sufficiently attractive treasure or are absolutely certain of success. Just now, the Demon Race and the Nine Domains Alliance were fighting each other, but there was no aura of supreme treasures at all. I estimate it was just a few important treasures."
If a treasure conceals its aura, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a minor treasure or a supreme treasure based solely on its appearance.
But things were different on the original star.
The Primordial Star is a treasure star, teeming with treasures. The appearance of ordinary treasures doesn't cause much of a stir, and some top-tier sets of ordinary treasures might cause a little stir, but the appearance of a supreme treasure will definitely cause a stir! The greater the stir, the higher the level of the supreme treasure! There might even be a palace that rises from the ground, with supreme treasures hidden inside, and so on.
Simply put, the greater the commotion, the higher the level of the treasure.
Xingchen concealed his presence and continued exploring the primordial star. This primordial star was vast and boundless; despite maintaining sub-light speed, he still felt as if he were wandering on an endless continent.
"The gravitational field of this primordial star is truly bizarre."
The stars fell on a plain, the ground beneath his feet a hard, dark red earth. He bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, and rubbed it between his fingertips.
These seemingly ordinary soils are sufficient to forge immortal-grade weapons in the outside world.
As expected of the core of the universe, even the soil contains such pure energy.
He casually tossed the soil back onto the ground and continued on his way. Half a day later, Xingchen had already explored a small area of this primordial star.
He sensed several energy fluctuations during this period, but they were all ordinary treasures that appeared, attracting only ordinary universe venerables to fight over them, which he didn't bother to participate in.
"Ok?"
Just as Xingchen was about to find a place to rest, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint light on the ground not far away. He raised an eyebrow and slowly walked over.
Parting a patch of dark golden grass, a jade ruler, entirely emerald green, lay quietly on the ground. A faint halo flowed across its surface, yet no energy fluctuations emanated from it.
"This is."
Xingchen bent down and picked up the jade ruler, which was icy cold to the touch. He infused it with a wisp of divine power, and the jade ruler immediately lit up, with dense patterns appearing on its surface, and a sharp aura faintly emanating from it.
An offensive treasure?
Xingchen was somewhat amused and exasperated. Although this jade ruler was only at the level of an ordinary heavy treasure, it lay there so casually on the ground without even a ripple. If he hadn't been so sharp-eyed, he probably would have missed it.
"You can find great treasures just by walking down the street; this is the Primitive Star."
He shook his head and put the jade ruler into his world ring. Although this treasure was insignificant to him, it would be enough to make many King-level Immortals fight tooth and nail among the human race. No wonder they say the Primordial Star is full of treasures; it seems that's really true.
Xingchen looked around. This plain seemed ordinary, but who knew how many treasures were buried underground? However, he had no interest in digging three feet into the ground here now, since ordinary treasures were no longer of interest to him.
"Just keep going."
The star rose into the sky and continued flying into the distance. During the flight, he could see traces of battle from time to time: shattered mountains, scorched forests, and bottomless ravines—all left behind by powerful figures fighting for treasures.
Suddenly, Xingchen paused, his gaze fixed on a certain direction where a strange energy fluctuation emanated. Though faint, it gave off a profound and unfathomable feeling.
This fluctuation...
Xingchen narrowed his eyes. Unlike the fluctuations of the treasures he had sensed before, this energy was more restrained, yet it contained a higher level of laws and rhythms.
"Could it be a priceless treasure?!"
His heart raced slightly. According to the information provided by the Lord of Chaos City, this unusual fluctuation was very likely a sign that a supreme treasure was about to be born!
Did we just arrive and already witness the birth of a supreme treasure?
Xingchen immediately changed direction and flew towards the valley. At the same time, he sensed several powerful auras converging on the valley.
"It seems I'm not the only one who sensed it."
Xingchen's lips curled slightly, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
it is good!
We didn't just come here to search for treasure!
