Chapter 2337: Heart of the World

Several more hours passed.

Xiao Feng felt that he should have traveled several hundred billion kilometers.

However, he also knew that the interior and exterior of the cosmic source were different; one couldn't substitute regular spatial distances for this place. In reality, the distance he had traveled might only be several billion kilometers.

At this moment, the surrounding flowing energy had become so dense it was almost substantial, and one could barely see strands of pure primordial source Qi flowing through the conduits, being transmitted far away.

These energies all came from the Main Universe, feeling familiar, like the spring water of one's hometown.

Thump-thump

Thump-thump

Thump-thump

A tremor like a heartbeat came from deep within, surrounding his body.

Xiao Feng frowned, feeling somewhat unwell; his own heartbeat seemed affected, its rhythm thrown into disarray by that sound.

He made a long-distance teleport, seeking the source of the heartbeat.

Not long after, the cosmic source ahead suddenly vanished, and an empty expanse appeared before him.

It turned out he had reached the bottom of the ancient mother tree's space.

After a short half-day, Xiao Feng finally condensed a substantial Li Ti again.

He hovered in midair, gazing at everything around him, feeling incredulous.

All around was still purplish-red cosmic source, forming a cave several kilometers in size; upward was the direction of the energy flow, which led to the Infinite Continent.

Below, however, lay a transparent glass-like space; through a wall of glass several kilometers thick, one could see a chaotic expanse of Xing Kong, star systems appearing as if in the process of birth, yet also seeming to have withered and died.

"That must be the Main Universe..."

Xiao Feng thought.

This glass surface beneath his feet is the Main Universe.

And the barrier between it and the Infinite Continent's small universe; originally, the two had no interaction.

But within this cave, an object had taken root in the glass wall, extending eight thin tendrils that pierced the thick glass, reaching the other side to draw energy from the Main Universe.

It was a heart, the Heart of the World!

The thumping sound was its heartbeat.

Xiao Feng examined it closely; the heart resembled a large purple crystal bulb, tens of meters in size, flickering bright and dim.

With each beat, when it dimmed, it was transmitting cosmic source energy outward to the Infinite Continent.

When it brightened, the eight tendrils were drawing energy from the Main Universe.

One inhale, one exhale, one swallow, one spit—this is the deepest secret of the Infinite Continent.

The Infinite Continent exists and prospers because of it.

The Infinite Continent is invaded and regarded as an enemy by the Main Universe precisely because of it!

"What a strong flow of cosmic energy..."

Xiao Feng exclaimed.

The amount of Main Universe energy the Heart of the World draws each second is, to him, an immensely terrifying quantity—enough to constitute a Supernatural Ascension Controller realm.

Yet such a draw rate, the Main Universe pays no heed; it no longer targets the Infinite Continent.

One can imagine that, to the Main Universe, such a 'torrent' is perhaps merely a minuscule loss like a spider's thread, utterly negligible.

Xiao Feng drifted closer, hoping to intercept a portion to repair his own origin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, a strong repelling force instantly flung him away!

Bang!

Xiao Feng collided with the purplish-red cave

on the cave wall, he rebounded and spat a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, this is fierce?"

This repelling force is almost on par with a single attack from a stellar-level expert!

Xiao Feng refused to believe it; this time he slowed his speed and approached cautiously.

When he was still over a thousand meters from the purple crystal, the repelling force reappeared, blasting him away again.

However, this time the force was slightly weaker, not as exaggerated as before.

"This place is truly sinister, practically a forbidden zone." Xiao Feng frowned, clutching his chest.

The cosmic source barrier was already a layer almost indestructible and unbreakable; even an Infinite God-like eternal-level expert could not breach it.

Perhaps even a more powerful invincible eternal-level expert, or even a Dao Ancestor, might not have the ability to enter here.

Only Xiao Feng, and likewise the Master of the Universe who commands the primordial source Qi of all things, and the Primordial True King, are qualified to enter.

Under such a solid defense, this purple crystal heart actually possesses an additional repelling layer; the strength of its self-protection is the most extravagant thing Xiao Feng has ever seen in his life.

If he hadn't just mastered the law of matter, he would have had no chance to come here; he would have already died at the hands of the Infinite God.

Gazing at the purple crystal, Xiao Feng muttered: "Having come here, it is fate. This cosmic heart ought to be used by me!"

He made a third approach.

However, this time he didn't get too close; he stopped when he was still about a kilometer away.

Then he raised his hand; a strand of supremely pure primordial source Qi became an extension of his limb, approaching the purple crystal.

That repelling layer only rejects the approach of his Li Ti; it has no reaction to the primordial source Qi.

Xiao Feng using the myriad things

source Qi drove his Divine Sense forward, easily crossing the kilometer distance to arrive nearby.

Then he placed the tendrils of his Divine Sense upon the purple crystal.

Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump...

A strong and powerful heartbeat, beating continuously without pause.

The surging flow of primordial qi of all things streams from the eight roots at the bottom, passing through the pressurization of the heartbeat, and is transported into the Boundless Continent, becoming the source of energy for all beings.

This is the world's heart that sustains a world; this is the most precious thing in the Boundless Continent!

Xiao Feng projected his thoughts into the purple crystal.

At that moment, a scene appeared in his mind.

A vast expanse of land exists in the void; all around are empty spatial barriers, while in the midst lie the myriad phenomena of Xing Kong, with the sun and moon revolving.

On the land, each huge Depression is a scar of war left from ancient times.

Lush green areas teem with myriad forms of life among billions of beings.

Above the clouds, many Planets drift aimlessly, moving slowly, unknown whose orbit they follow.

He even "saw" the scenery inside the ancient mother tree's space!

The Boundless God and two or three hundred Dukes, plus over ten Saints, are scattered throughout that space, searching for his trace.

"This is... the scenery of the entire Boundless Continent."

At this moment, he actually obtained a god's-eye view, from a transcendent angle, seeing the entire Boundless Continent!

Xiao Feng was both astonished and shocked, feeling as if he had opened a new world.

"Let's see what Zichen and the others are up to……"

With a thought, he searched within the Boundless Continent and found the place where Han Zichen and the others were, at the edge of that abyss.

Then he "saw", a white-clad Fairy Maiden Zichen holding the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden

The bestowed treasure sword is currently battling a supreme peak expert of the Boundless Continent.

"I just left half a day ago, how did strong enemies appear? Could it be that Duke Tianhen or some nearby duke sent them?"

Xiao Feng furrowed his brows.

He knew he had long been targeted by the likes of the Robbery Law Saint and other experts; upon entering the ancient mother tree's space, he had completely severed contact with the outside world.

Perhaps it was then that the Robbery Law Saint, Duke Tianhen, and other experts, unwilling to continue tolerating, dispatched supreme peak experts, aiming to kill Han Zichen and the others, to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
