Chapter 2608: World of the Cosmos

Through this Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned that the foundation of the Foreign Tribe is far deeper than he had imagined.

Moreover, the information he learned further shocked him deeply.

The Foreign Tribe, in their own words, are a branch of the ancient Demon Race called the Giant Demon Tribe.

Just as the Demon Race and Demon half‑beasts that Ye Liuyun encountered in the Demon Realm, they too are branches of the ancient Demon Race.

However, this branch of the ancient Demon Race does not know how it originally became imbued with an evil aura.

Moreover, they discovered that this evil aura could make them stronger, and thus they preserved it intact for inheritance.

And because their offspring multiply rapidly, they quickly spread outward.

When their numbers increased, they naturally began to expand outward, for otherwise there would be insufficient resources for them to consume.

However, this Foreign Tribe stronghold is not their true stronghold.

In fact, this is merely a "base" they have in foreign territory.

This must be explained beginning with the Xingkong system.

In the eyes of the Foreign Tribe, Xingkong is divided into different Xing Xi, each Xing Xi being a cluster composed of countless worlds.

Each world is a Xingqiu.

All the Xing Xi together are called the cosmos by the Foreign Tribe.

Even though the Foreign Tribe began exploring the entire cosmos long ago, they have not yet probed its boundaries.

The Foreign Tribe's incursions have only spread to the five neighboring Xing Xi.

They come from the Musk Rat Star System and call this place the Yinhu Xingxi.

Because the outline of this entire Xing Xi resembles a silver fox, and each Xingqiu shines brightly, it looks from afar as if it sparkles with silver light.

They have concluded that the brighter a Xingqiu appears from afar, the more abundant its Primordial Power.

The base they now occupy is, in fact, the largest Xingqiu at the center of the Yinhu Xingxi…

After learning this information, Ye Liuyun was so shocked he was left speechless.

According to this information, the worlds he knows are merely a cluster within the boundless star sea.

"So just how large is the entire cosmos?"

Ye Liuyun had originally thought he was approaching the edge of this world and would soon be able to comprehend the whole world's visage.

But now he realizes that he has never seen a complete Xing Xi; he has merely been wandering within a certain Xing Xi of the cosmos.

Moreover, in the eyes of these Foreign Tribe members, the Zhuanzai Jingjie is essentially insignificant; it is merely a basic power that enables one to traverse the Xingqiu and provides Martial Cultivators with a sufficiently long lifespan.

They also have many more powerful Foreign Tribe entities.

The power of such a strong one is not merely world‑shattering; with a casual strike they could destroy an entire Xingqiu.

Their cultivation resource is also the Primordial Power crystal sphere of the Xingqiu.

However, their strong ones are divided: some guard their own origin Musk Rat Star System, while others explore other Xing Xi and establish Foreign Tribe outposts.

Therefore, as a faction of the Foreign Tribe army, the Gold‑armored Alien Tribe is tasked with invading this Yinhu Xingxi.

The entire Yinhu Xingxi has been almost fully expanded by them.

Even when faced with devastating blows, the Foreign Tribe's strong ones scarcely care about their survival, and it is unlikely that strong ones will come to reinforce.

The Gold‑armored Alien Tribe had already annihilated many Xingqiu, and half of the Primordial Power has already been sent back to their stronghold.

The remaining portion is what they themselves will use.

In addition to these shocking revelations, Ye Liuyun learned that the Zhuanzai Jingjie is the foundational realm for entering a Xing Xi; the Zhuanzai Jingjie is divided into nine layers, each breakthrough being harder than scaling heaven and demanding vast amounts of energy.

Even with abundant resources, most of them will never cultivate to the pinnacle in their lifetime.

Either their cultivation is too slow and they die before reaching the Ninth layer, or they lack enough resources and become stuck at a certain layer.

Although this information shocked Ye Liuyun, at least he finally knows the subsequent realms and now has a target to strive toward.

However, according to the information known by these Foreign Tribe, even if they do not invade other Xing Xi, eventually other Xing Xi will invade them.

The entire cosmos is the same.

When a Xing Xi produces a strong individual and resources are no longer sufficient to supply his cultivation, they will also plunder other Xing Xi.

It is not only the Foreign Tribe; the Human Race, Beast Race, and other Demon Race are all the same.

In other words, the Yinhu Xingxi where Ye Liuyun resides, even if it does not wish to invade others, will eventually be invaded by others.

Even if it is not the Foreign Tribe, perhaps another race, the outcome will be the same.

It seems all groups in the cosmos are alike, constantly resisting invasion and invading others over the long ages!

If one wishes to protect one's own Xing Xi, one must either become stronger by invading other Xing Xi, or be invaded and seize the invader's resources.

What Ye Liuyun is doing now is rapidly boosting his own strength to rob back from the invading Foreign Tribe.

But according to their claim, Ye Liuyun will eventually have to venture outward; otherwise, mere defense has no end, and eventually stronger strong ones will invade and plunder, which is the survival rule of the cosmos.

Ye Liuyun sighed, "It seems the world of the cosmos is likewise a law of the weak being devoured by the strong.

The only difference is that the space there is broader and the time span longer!"

He instantly felt the enormity of his arduous journey ahead.

He had never before imagined that, whether becoming stronger or protecting his own world, there would be so many obstacles.

"When will the Martial Cultivator path finally have a beginning?"

He now doesn't even know himself how the future path should proceed.

He had originally prepared to lay down his arms, return to the fields, and train disciples, but he didn't expect his road is still far from its end!

Even the Foreign Tribe before him are far beyond his match.

Although the Foreign Tribe have already amassed enough and intend to retreat, such a vast Xing Xi will always leave some remnants.

If his and the Alliance's strength wanes, these Foreign Tribe will rapidly expand and strike back again.

To completely resist the Foreign Tribe, they must continuously enhance their strength, forever keeping the Foreign Tribe firmly suppressed.

And this is merely a Foreign Tribe; whether other species will invade their Yinhu Xingxi in the future is a matter for later.

This is no longer something he can consider now.

Ah!

Ye Liuyun let out a long breath, calming his shocked emotions and chaotic thoughts.

The Foreign Tribe before him still needs to be dealt with; if he can't get past this hurdle, there's no point talking about the future.

Thus he continued Soul Search to understand the Foreign Tribe's deployment.

Only then did he realize that the Foreign Tribe had specially cultivated ten Three-eyed Gold-armored Alien Tribe members to deal with him.

To cultivate these Three-eyed Gold-armored Alien Tribe, only one in ten of the Three-eyed Alien Tribe in this Foreign Tribe contingent remains, nearly all having been devoured by these ten Gold-armored Alien Tribe.

This is also why Ye Liuyun rarely sees Three-eyed Alien Tribe.
