Chapter 594: Tower of Dimensions, the Inevitable Path to Transcendence

Gradually.

Qin Hao felt that this icy barrier had developed a sense of closeness toward him.

No longer rejecting his will.

But allowing him to perceive more deeply.

Finally, Qin Hao found a point.

That was the last node left from the world's birth that still connected to the outside.

This is it!

A sudden realization arose in Qin Hao's heart.

Without hesitation, he condensed his Dao, which had fully transcended the Principle, into a point of intangible sharpness.

This point of sharpness carried no lethal force.

It contained only the purest thought.

"I want... to go out and see."

Then, he imprinted that point of sharpness onto that node.

Next, a soft 'pop' sounded from deep within his soul.

The indestructible Wall of Void was thus poked open with a tiny hole finer than a needle tip.

Xuan Du, who had been observing him nearby, showed unreserved admiration in his eyes.

"Excellent comprehension!"

He had been waiting for this moment.

At the exact moment that tiny hole appeared, Xuan Du also moved.

At some point, a horsetail whisk appeared in his hand.

He gave it a light flick toward the small hole.

The myriad silver threads of the whisk, as if alive, drilled into that tiny hole.

Then he gently pulled them apart to either side.

"Open!"

Xuan Du said softly.

That Wall of Void, which could make any cosmic deity balk, was like a black curtain, silently drawn apart to either side, forming a rift wide enough for one person to pass.

Beyond the rift, it was no longer darkness.

But an indescribable expanse filled with strange light and chaotic rules—the Boundary Sea!

"Let's go."

Xuan Du smiled at Qin Hao, stepped forward first, and entered the rift.

Qin Hao watched this, knowing that if he stepped out, he might never be able to return.

He would completely bid farewell to his homeland.

But for his Dao, he had to do this.

But before taking that step, he gave one last look back at the Cosmic Sea behind him.

A few seconds later, Qin Hao withdrew his gaze, his eyes becoming extraordinarily resolute.

He lifted his foot and stepped into that more wondrous realm beyond.

When Qin Hao's figure vanished into the rift, the opened gap closed again.

The Wall of Void returned to its former silence.

On the other side, the instant Qin Hao's foot touched the Boundary Sea, an unprecedented sensation enveloped his whole body.

It was a feeling of... freedom.

In the Cosmic Sea, although he had already stood at the pinnacle, he could always sense an invisible bond in the dark.

But here, all bonds vanished.

He felt like a fish that had spent its life in a pond, suddenly leaping into the true ocean.

The heavens and earth suddenly opened up.

His Dao could extend infinitely here, and infinite possibilities could be freely expressed.

"How do you feel?"

Xuan Du's voice woke him from that wonderful sensation.

Qin Hao looked at the smiling old man before him and sincerely said, "Never before has it been so good."

"Hahaha, you will get used to it in the future."

Xuan Du pointed around.

"This is still just the shallow layer of the Boundary Sea; we call it the Unregulated Chaos Belt."

Qin Hao looked around.

He saw countless fragments of shattered laws, like dust, drifting in the colorful energy turbulence.

Occasionally he could see enormous creature skeletons beyond imagination,

or damaged remnants of worlds drifting by from afar.

The environment here is more chaotic and dangerous than the original Cosmic Sea tsunami.

Any being lacking transcendental power who enters here will be assimilated.

"We need to leave this place quickly."

Xuan Du's expression grew slightly more serious.

"Such places easily attract scavengers that feed on world remnants; those fellows are far more troublesome than the enemies you face in the Cosmic Sea."

Qin Hao nodded.

He could feel that in this chaos, many hostile gazes lurked.

"Senior, where are we going?"

"To a place where we can settle."

Xuan Du recognized the direction.

"Follow me."

After saying that, he moved his body, turning into a blue light, flying deep into the chaotic zone.

Qin Hao closely followed.

Neither of them used too much power, merely skillfully avoiding dangerous energy turbulence and rule traps.

Their speed seemed not fast, but each step they took crossed an unimaginable distance.

During the flight, Xuan Du also began to explain to Qin Hao some basic knowledge about the Realm Sea.

For example, the power divisions in the Realm Sea, the common trading currency, and some forbidden existences that must not be provoked.

Qin Hao was like a sponge, frantically absorbing this completely new knowledge.

Although his strength was sufficient, in this brand-new world he was still just a newcomer.

He must remain humble and cautious.

Unknown how long they had flown.

The chaos ahead began to thin, and a continent emitting a soft light appeared at the edge of their vision.

That continent was formed from countless stars and world fragments pieced together, with various styles of buildings standing upon it, and countless powerful auras could be seen moving through it.

"We've arrived."

Xuan Du slowed his speed.

"This is the Seventh Realm Sea Transit Station 【City of Myriad Worlds】."

"It is a temporary resting point and trading hub for countless Realm Sea travelers like us."

The two flew toward that continent.

As they approached the continent, an intangible thought swept over them.

That thought had no hostility; it was merely checking their identities.

Xuan Du was obviously a regular here; that thought lingered on him for a moment before automatically withdrawing.

And when it swept over Qin Hao, that thought clearly paused.

It produced a little curiosity about his background as a "newcomer."

But it had no malice.

After confirming Qin Hao carried no dangerous world virus, it also let them pass.

The two smoothly landed at the edge of the continent.

The feeling of solid ground gave Qin Hao a long-lost sense of ease.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

Xuan Du, familiar with the way, led Qin Hao through bustling streets.

Qin Hao curiously surveyed his surroundings.

The beings here were myriad and strange.

There were rock giants with bodies like mountains, elemental lifeforms burning with law flames all over, and some who retained human form but possessed unfathomable auras.

They coexisted peacefully here, exchanging goods and needs.

Finally, Xuan Du brought Qin Hao before a towering white tower that pierced the clouds.

"This is the Tower of Dimensions."

Xuan Du introduced.

"It is the core of the City of Myriad Worlds, and the sole passage to higher-dimensional worlds."

He looked at Qin Hao, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Young friend, your Dao is full of infinite possibilities; you shouldn't be confined to a single level."

"Are you interested in coming with me to go higher?"

He pointed to the tower's summit.

"To go see the scenery that truly surpasses all worlds?"

Qin Hao's gaze also turned toward the tower's top.

He could feel that on the tower's higher levels existed a rule he currently could not comprehend.

Once again, the desire to explore the unknown surged in his heart.

Then he smiled at Xuan Du.

"What I wish for, I dare not ask."

"Good!"

Xuan Du laughed loudly, pulling Qin Hao into the white tower.

They neither walked stairs nor rode any vehicle.

Instead, they simply stepped out.

Their figures vanished from the spot.

The next second, they already appeared on a higher level of the tower.

Another step out, and they were on yet another level.

With each step upward they took, the surrounding dimensional rules would undergo a drastic change.

The void twisted, time folded.

Wanted to completely erase their existence from this world.

But when this power approached the two, it was smoothed over by an invisible force.

Qin Hao's "Dao" and Xuan Du's "law" perfectly combined at this moment.

Jointly resisting the pressure from a higher level.

They walked step by step toward the tower's top.

Finally.

When they stepped onto the final step,

Before them, everything suddenly opened up, and the two arrived at the tower's summit.

Here was no longer any structure, but an endless starry sky.

But the stars here were no longer individual worlds, but individual... cosmic seas!

Qin Hao saw the cosmic sea he came from; it was like an inconspicuous small bubble, quietly floating in this starry expanse.

And around it were countless similar, even larger bubbles.

At that moment, Xuan Du's voice sounded.

"Are you ready?"

"The true journey is about to begin."

Saying this, Xuan Du released all of his power.

Seeing this, Qin Hao did the same; their powers merged into one at this moment.

"Break!"

A soft shout.

The two turned into two beams of light that could not be comprehended or described, then vanished from the observation of this spacetime.
