Chapter 209: The Structure of the Universe Sea

Hoo— chich— ~~~

The endless Chaos Airflow surged and spread, directly filling every space that could be seen before the eyes.

The Chaos Airflow generated a towering pressure, its oppression so extreme it was terrifying to hear; even without a deliberate attack, the mere natural pressure could cause an Immortal God to turn to ash! "What a strong pressure! This is the true Chaos world, far stronger than the Chaos Airflow I now wield with Chaos Hole's Suppression."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Chaos Airflow, the energy source of a Universe."

The Chaos City Lord stood in the void, gazing at the endless Chaos Airflow ahead, "I'm not sure about the Original Universe, but the Small Universes of the Universe Strongest each use this Chaos Airflow as their energy source. The Chaos Airflow in the Universe Sea is the purest, at least far purer than the Chaos Airflow in our human Initial Universe."

Zhou Yang nodded.

The Initial Universe is merely a Small Universe, still in its nascent state; its Chaos Airflow exerts no pressure at all, so back then some Heng Star Level Ninth Order youngsters could still roam the Chaos City with utter leisure.

"Leaving the Original Universe means venturing into the Universe Sea," the Chaos City Lord turned his head toward the rear.

Zhou Yang also turned.

Standing in the void and turning, he saw not far behind an irregularly torn opening in the membrane wall.

At a glance, a massive membrane wall spread outward in all directions, like an endless curtain whose end could never be seen, as if it blocked half of the entire Universe Sea.

"This is the Original Universe, the cradle that nurtures billions of races."

Zhou Yang whispered silently to himself.

When they were weak, all life was nurtured and grew within this cradle of the Original Universe.

But once they become sufficiently powerful—say, after becoming a Universe Master—they can voluntarily step out of this cradle and venture into the broader Universe Sea. "Hmm?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt a slight stir in his mind. "Now that I can leave the Original Universe and enter the Universe Sea, can I also cross the membrane of the New Universe to look beyond? The Universe Sea births the Original Universe and countless Small Universes of the Universe Strongest; where, then, is my New Universe?"

He thought this silently, but it wasn't the time for inquiry, so he temporarily suppressed the thought.

"Let's go."

The Chaos City Lord took Zhou Yang, performed a single Teleportation, and arrived at a spot in the void.

Around the void were as many as thirty‑nine twisted space openings, all Natural Wormholes.

There are two ways to reach the Universe Sea.

First, enter a Space Interlayer and Teleport until reaching its far end, then pierce through the endless Universe Membrane Wall!

Although the Universe Membrane Wall is a strong barrier, a Universe Master can break through it.

The second method is to go through the Tuoya Black Hole to leave the Original Universe.

The Tuoya Black Hole is the strongest black hole in the entire Original Universe; its immense tearing and twisting force constantly damages the membrane wall, so entering the black hole lets one exit directly.

Of course, if it were merely easy to get out, it wouldn't deter strong beings from using it.

The main reason is… after emerging from the Tuoya Black Hole, this region is surrounded by as many as thirty‑nine Natural Wormholes.

The Universe Sea is vast and boundless.

Once inside the Universe Sea, one is no longer within the Original Universe's realm; Divine Kingdom Teleportation no longer works, nor can one travel via the Dark Universe.

To venture in the Universe Sea, one relies either on Teleportation or on Natural Wormholes.

The Universe Sea is frighteningly large; the Original Universe is only a part of it. Relying solely on Teleportation would take ages, so the importance of Natural Wormholes is evident.

Fortunately, despite the harsh and bizarre environment of the Universe Sea, Natural Wormholes are extremely abundant.

Following a Natural Wormhole from one end to the other can span hundreds of billions of light years.

In the Universe Sea, ordinary travel relies on Natural Wormholes for the vast majority of the journey; some segments still require Teleportation.

After endless eons, the connections between countless Natural Wormholes have been recorded, allowing one to determine the fastest route to a destination.

Of course, once one ascends to a Universe Strongest, one can expend massive Divine Power to violently override all laws, unbound by the rules of motion, propelling speed to a thousandfold Light speed, ten‑thousandfold Light speed, and even higher.

Thus, only by becoming a Universe Strongest can one truly have the confidence to roam the Universe Sea.

"These thirty‑nine Natural Wormholes vary in aperture size and the distances they lead to."

The Chaos City Lord smiled at Zhou Yang, "You should be able to accurately identify Natural Wormholes No. 1 through No. 39, right?"

"Hmm."

Zhou Yang nodded; before departure, the Chaos City Lord had already given him all the Earth maps concerning the human race's knowledge of the Universe Sea.

That map's description was extremely precise, offering multiple notations, lest one misidentify a route in the Universe Sea—a truly frightening mistake.

Zhou Yang cross‑checked the map briefly and quickly confirmed the objective of this journey.

He pointed at a larger twisted space opening nearby, "Our route this time follows Natural Wormhole No. 15."

"Right." The Chaos City Lord nodded approvingly, "Let's go."

……

The endless Universe Sea is pervaded by Chaos Airflow everywhere, but at the level of a Universe Master one does not rely solely on sight; for instance, the spreading Divine Power lets them perceive the surroundings with precise 'clarity' surpassing ordinary eyes. Natural Wormholes!

Teleport! Teleport! Teleport!

Each Teleport is limited to ten thousand Light years, and a Universe Master's will can maintain Teleportation at an extremely high frequency.

Zhou Yang followed the Chaos City Lord swiftly; apart from the endless Chaos Airflow, the only distinct object he saw was a Small Universe of the Extinction Race.

"When a Universe Strongest falls, its Small Universe also collapses."

The Chaos City Lord took the opportunity to explain key information to Zhou Yang, "When a strong one cultivates to the ultimate pinnacle, they become a Universe Strongest, and when a Divine Kingdom reaches its ultimate pinnacle, it becomes a Small Universe."

"If an Immortal God falls, its Divine Kingdom becomes desolate and ruined."

"If a Universe Strongest falls, its Small Universe also becomes ruined."

"The Original Universe gave birth to billions of races and countless strong ones, yet as time passes, after reaching its most flourishing peak, the Original Universe rapidly declines and even faces great Destruction! Then a new birth begins… each cycle nurtures billions of races, many geniuses, some Universe Strongest, and numerous Universe Masters."

"Each cycle is immeasurably long."

"Every cycle contains a batch of Universe Strongest, each corresponding to a Small Universe."

"Small Universes drift in the Universe Sea, drifting farther and farther; many have already passed beyond our surveyed range of the Universe Sea. So far, we have discovered 18,022 Small Universes!"

The Chaos City Lord explained, "Let's regard our current cycle as the Third Universe Era, the preceding cycle as the Second Universe Era, and the one before that as the First Universe Era."

"The entire Universe Sea… apart from the Two Great Holy Lands, only the strong ones from the three Universe Eras have survived. All the other cycles have been completely annihilated."

"Three Universe Eras."

Although Zhou Yang already had a general grasp of this information, hearing it directly from the Chaos City Lord at this moment still stirred his heart slightly.

A single Great Destruction of the Original Universe constitutes one cycle, and all the peak strong ones that survived the three Reincarnation Eras have gathered in the Universe Sea; the number of strong ones in this Universe Sea is truly terrifying!

"Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of proliferation, whereas the previous two cycles have completed their full cycles, so the number of strong ones they have birthed naturally far exceeds ours."

The Chaos City Lord said, "Our Third Era is the weakest era. The First Era is the strongest."

Zhou Yang also understood.

In the development of the Universe, the birth rate of strong ones was very slow at first, because Secret Techniques and the like needed to be created and perfected.

For example, in the current Original Universe, aside from the reincarnation of the 'Jin Zhi Shen Wang' known as the Mountain Recluse, the development of Treasure Refining Inheritance throughout the Universe is extremely lagging.

In the Entire Original Universe, the number of 'Refining Master' capable of forging Top‑tier Supreme Treasures totals only a handful—just three, including the Master Craftsman God.

However, the later it gets, the more the various inheritances become refined, and the efficiency of cultivating strong ones continuously improves.

Our Third Universe Era may have only completed half a cycle, while the first two cycles are complete, so the number of strong ones is naturally different.

The Chaos City Lord shook his head and smiled, "Of course, there's no need to underestimate yourself; Yuanzu traversed the Universe Sea back then and was absolutely invincible! The Strongest Ones of other Universes merely skirted around him."

"Yuanzu!"

When this person was mentioned, Zhou Yang's expression also hardened, and boundless admiration surged in his heart! Though he hails from the Third Reincarnation Era, he is so powerful that countless strong ones in the Universe Sea cannot even lift their heads—that's what a magnificent, wind‑like bearing looks like!

Later, out of invincible loneliness, he proactively challenged the Original Universe Origin; although he ultimately failed, Zhou Yang knows that Yuanzu's choice was not wrong—the mistake lay only in the timing of his activation.

The Original Universe indeed offers a tremendous opportunity, but it requires at least a Chaos Sovereign Level will to seize it; Yuanzu was overly impatient back then. "When you wander in this Universe Sea, what truly requires attention, besides the mad ones of the First Reincarnation Era, are the Two Great Holy Lands."

The Chaos City Lord said, "In fact, from the over ten thousand discovered Small Universes we already know… countless Universe Strongest were once born, yet more than 99% of the Small Universes have become ruined, clearly those Universe Strongest have all fallen."

Luo Feng nodded.

When a Small Universe is ruined, it signifies that the Universe Strongest have fallen.

"Besides the three Universe Eras… the Universe Sea also contains two factions, each belonging to a Small Universe."

The Chaos City Lord sighed, "Those two Small Universes should be the Small Universes of the Universe Strongest from before our first ten cycles, even before the first hundred Universe cycles."

"Those two Small Universes are also extremely large in size."

The Chaos City Lord said, "Known Small Universes of the Universe Strongest generally have a maximum diameter of 100 million light‑years. Those two Small Universes, however, have diameters of 2.1 billion and 3.2 billion light‑years respectively, making them the largest two Small Universes; the cycles in which they existed are now untraceable."

Countless cycles have all been annihilated.

Yet those two Small Universes managed to survive, which is naturally extraordinary.

"These are the two most powerful factions in the Universe Sea, also recognized by the endless strong ones of the Universe Sea as the Two Great Holy Lands!"

"The three Universe Eras and the Two Great Holy Lands—that is the power structure within the endless Universe Sea."

"Of course, each Universe Era is not united; for instance, our Third Universe Era is divided into Nine Great Super Forces, Twelve Great Top Forces, and so on. The First and Second Universe Eras are similarly split into dozens of factions, making the endless Universe Sea extremely chaotic—any non‑allied faction may suddenly attack you."

The Chaos City Lord solemnly instructed, "However, comparatively, the strong ones of the First Reincarnation Era are even more fanatical, while the people of the Two Great Holy Lands are extremely arrogant, yet their strength remains extremely great, so you must be very careful in your future actions."

"Yes, teacher."

Zhou Yang respectfully replied.
