Chapter 237: Divine Sword

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhou Yang followed the direction where the bright light appeared, continued forward, and only after another fifty‑plus years of advancing did the scene at the light gradually become clear.

It seemed they had already reached the deepest part of this Gully Channel; ahead there was no road, only a dazzling white Light Curtain blocking the way.

The Light Curtain rippled like a stream, appearing able to block all probing.

Even Zhou Yang's New Universe Power could not pierce the Light Curtain to see the scene beyond.

Only occasionally, clusters of thunder, fire, and Violent Wind burst through the Light Curtain and roamed wildly along the Gully Channel.

"Could it be that we've reached the end of this Gully Channel?"

Zhou Yang's spirit was inevitably uplifted.

He advanced through the channel, seeing only monotonous stone walls, mist, thunder and fire. Now, finally something different appeared! "These thunder and fire come from behind the Light Curtain, indicating that there must be other space beyond it. It's just unknown whether there are other risks behind the Light Curtain."

Zhou Yang's gaze kept shifting, and after a moment he finally made up his mind, "Let's send a Doppelganger in first to take a look."

At his thought, the Black Armor Zhou Yang figure in the channel flew straight forward; upon touching the Light Curtain, it easily slipped through.

However, the moment it entered—

"Boom~~~"

Countless silver blade‑like rays surged, sweeping everything in an instant; the moment the Black Armor Zhou Yang figure appeared in this space, a cataclysmic power descended upon him, causing him to instantly vanish.

Even that black armor, already at Top-Level Treasure Level, was silently turned into fine ash‑like particles!

"Heavens, what—what is that!"

In the New Universe, Zhou Yang's face involuntarily showed a shocked expression!

His Doppelganger had no time to react before it fell, and even the Top-tier Treasure Armor was instantly annihilated; the danger beyond this channel far exceeded his imagination!

Although what was annihilated was a Top-tier Treasure Armor, not a Palace Type Supreme Treasure.

But that Top-tier Treasure Armor was turned directly into particles; that terrifying power would likely be no different even if a Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure were used. "This is trouble."

In the New Universe, Zhou Yang's brows involuntarily knit.

It was annihilated the instant it entered, without even seeing what lay inside, so naturally he didn't know how to respond. "What caused my Doppelganger to fall seems to be some even more ferocious, chaotic, powerful energy."

Zhou Yang recalled the brief glimpse before his Doppelganger vanished, the endless dazzling light filling his entire view, and his mind began to stir.

"If I can hold on for a moment to leave a New Universe 'space anchor' behind the Light Curtain, perhaps I can, as before, use the New Cosmic Channel to 'Swallow' out a safe zone."

But even the Top-tier Treasure Armor would be instantly annihilated; how could he endure that moment? His gaze shifted, first glancing at the Reincarnation Divine Armor on his body.

The Reincarnation Divine Armor was a 'Peak Set-type Ultimate Treasure' meticulously crafted for him by the hermit; when tens of thousands of set components combine, both defense and offense reach an inconceivable level. Wearing the Reincarnation Divine Armor should allow him to withstand for a while. However, after a brief consideration, Zhou Yang temporarily abandoned the idea. The armor's importance to him is almost on par with an ordinary Supreme Strongest Treasure, and since he hasn't even clarified what's behind the Light Curtain, he is unwilling to risk damaging the Reincarnation Divine Armor by attempting recklessly.

He turned his gaze toward a towering Purple Divine Tower standing in the Xingkong far away, the first Top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasure he had forged not long ago.

"Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure offers better defense than the Treasure Armor. Let's try it, see if I can hold that moment, let me investigate the interior, and then decide what to do!"

"Whoosh!"

A Doppelganger flew straight into the Purple Divine Tower, which then rapidly shrank, soon reducing to a speck of dust.

With its size reduced, the chance of being hit naturally lessened, perhaps allowing him to endure a bit longer.

"Whoosh~"

That dust‑like Purple Divine Tower first arrived in the Black Cave via the New Cosmic Channel, then sped forward, plunging directly behind the Light Curtain! "Boom!"

Endless power instantly descended upon the Purple Divine Tower!

"Crack, crack~~~"

Even the Purple Divine Tower of Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure level could not withstand the violent energy shock; in an instant countless spider‑web‑like cracks appeared on its tower body! Yet, though it could not endure, it at least held out for that brief moment.

That single moment was enough for Zhou Yang to wield New Universe Power and set a 'anchor point' in this space.

"Swish!"

The Purple Divine Tower vanished instantly, returning to the New Universe.

Seeing the countless fine cracks that almost covered the entire tower, Zhou Yang involuntarily inhaled sharply.

"In less than one ten‑thousandth of a breath, a Top-tier Supreme Treasure was damaged like this. Heavens, how terrifying is the energy outside!"

However, his attention quickly shifted away from the nearly half‑ruined Supreme Treasure tower.

Just now, he had successfully left a New Universe 'anchor point' in the space behind the Light Curtain; using that anchor, he could finally observe the situation beyond the Light Curtain! A strand of New Universe Power quietly spread along a strange sigil, and through a subtle perception of the surrounding spacetime, he quickly 'saw' the surroundings clearly!

"Heavens!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes!

It was an incomparably vast space! The pitch‑black void swirled with countless rolling Chaos Particle Flow, while a dazzling endless blade‑like storm swept everything… The range was so immense that a glance covered light‑years! Within this boundless space, the most striking sight was a distant, colossal, awe‑inspiring Great Divine Sword that left Zhou Yang utterly stunned! A sword of seemingly infinite height, its blinding brilliance as if tearing the heavens open! Endless silver sword light spewed from the sword, filling the entire space and forming a sea of silver blade light! The absolutely terrifying pressure radiated from the endless blade light, causing Zhou Yang's consciousness to freeze in an instant! As he continued to observe, he gradually glimpsed more scenes through the endless blade light.

That sword, as if creating the world, was apparently casually lodged into a huge gray‑black stone platform that seemed like an endless continent.

And behind that stone platform and the Great Divine Sword, a towering, unimaginable terrifying figure gradually emerged (End of Chapter).
