Chapter 239: Forbidden Space

"It's not just the conflicts between the races or the Forbidden Guard; if an inherent crisis in the Forbidden Space occurs, it will be extremely terrifying. Moreover, the larger the disturbance, the more dangerous it is," said Wu Lian Dao.

Whoosh!

A monster about 1,000‑plus kilometers long, forged from strange metal and covered with tens of thousands of octopus‑like tentacles, appeared; its pair of violet eyes stared at Xiao Yu, full of murderous intent.

"A thousand‑kilometer Forbidden Guard!" Xiao Yu thought silently, "I have no idea what principle governs the appearance of this Forbidden Guard."

Some Sealed King Limit Extreme Strongers have roamed the Star Tower for tens of thousands of years, and even the largest Forbidden Guard they encountered was only about a hundred kilometers in size.

The massive blue strange octopus looked down at Xiao Yu as if a tiger were eyeing a trembling hare, entirely with a mocking attitude.

Hoo!!!

A piercing shriek rang out, sounding like a shockwave; wherever it passed, the space rippled with rhythmic undulations. The shockwave struck at light speed, hitting Xiao Yu's entire body directly.

Xiao Yu's head swayed, and he snapped to clarity, noticing that the strange octopus had vanished from the sea and instead appeared above his head.

The massive body of the blue strange octopus hung like a cloud hanging from the heavens, covering the entire sky above Xiao Yu's head before swooping down.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu snorted coldly, vanished from the spot, reappearing above the blue strange octopus, then dived toward the lower strange octopus, brandishing the Chaos Blade, executing "Open Heaven," and slashing at the massive head of the octopus.

"This is the Forbidden Space passage!" Xiao Yu thought, grateful that he had now completed the second layer of Transforming All Things, his soul having become a hundredfold.

Boom—boom—boom!

The aura of this golden strange octopus was far stronger than that of the blue one; it had been entangled by the destructive force, and the outcome was already set.

After slaying the Forbidden Guard, the sliver of destructive force Xiao Yu released grew by a point, and after losing its target it dissipated automatically.

The strange octopus's spiritual sense was acute; it instantly detected Xiao Yu's movement, and tens of thousands of tentacles changed direction, attacking the Xiao Yu above—some wrapping, some striking, some stabbing.

Several Soul Splits constantly queried relevant data within the Virtual Universe, and the records concerning the Star Tower were also massive.

The strange octopus faded like a bubble, disappearing from its massive head down through its tens of thousands of tentacles, revealing a golden strange octopus.

Wave after wave of tentacle attacks were blocked by the purple wings behind Xiao Yu.

Every type of Forbidden Space passage varies in countless ways.

These Forbidden Guards, even a Sealed King invincible cannot forcibly tear their bodies apart, yet when faced with destructive force, the so‑called unmatched defense is merely a joke.

In the center of the endless ocean, a massive vortex appeared, and within the endless whirlpool, faint specks of starlight shimmered.

The destructive force was terrifyingly immense; even a single strand flowing into the octopus's brain instantly shattered countless metal machines, and with that destruction, the destructive force oddly grew a little.

Now Xiao Yu's Open Heaven contains all the Space-Time Origin Law he has comprehended; spatial strangling force, space-time turbulence and other forces are perfectly harmonized, and a sliver of destructive force emerges.

Xiao Yu stepped onto it, and his whole body began to fall, landing on the deck of a stone bridge.

The dim blade light finally slammed into the octopus's head, unleashing a force a million times that of a Realm Lord, fully erupting.

After the Forbidden Guard vanished, the Forbidden Space passage appeared.

"Is this the passage?"

In the endless void, a stone bridge wound and spiraled outward, extending into the distance; the bridge had no supports, simply floating in the void as it stretched onward.

Under the Eye of Law, the entire void was dense with strange Secret Patterns, arranged peculiarly; besides the Primordial Universe Origin Law Secret Pattern, there were also other styles of Secret Patterns.

The Star Tower was forged from the body of the original Jin Divine King, containing the laws and regulations of the Origin Continent, thus naturally more complete than the laws of the Primordial Universe.

At this moment, all of Xiao Yu's gains were transmitted into the Soul Split's consciousness contemplating the "Universe True Explanation," refining his understanding of the Space-Time Origin.

Xiao Yu stood on the stone bridge, looking down into the void. Deep within the endless void, a star was slowly rolling; this star, comparable in size to an ordinary planet, exuded a heart‑pounding aura, endlessly revolving at a steady speed in the boundless void.

Xiao Yu continued forward, and soon saw another Sealed Star.

While Xiao Yu was walking on the stone bridge, a call request arrived in the Virtual Universe and was immediately answered.

"Ape Three Sword."

"Zhen Tian King." Xiao Yu was surprised; although he had only recently joined the Hongmeng Alliance, he already knew most of the human Sealed Kings, while the remaining human Sealed Kings were either in seclusion for cultivation, overly aloof, or residing in the Universe Secret Realm. This Zhen Tian King was a human Sealed King.

Xiao Yu's current status had already been mentioned to the teacher, Chaos City Lord; under his instruction, the Military System within the Virtual Universe System naturally recognized Xiao Yu's third identity.

Among other comrades and allies, his name displayed as Ape Three Sword, a title just like the former San Yan.

It does not show his true name merely because he is in the Virtual Universe.

"I was inside the Star Tower; the Military System showed you were also there, so I contacted you immediately," said Zhen Tian King. "I just encountered three Forbidden Guards in a Forbidden Space; that's rare, so I reached out to some friends, and they also faced Forbidden Guards. How about you?"

Within the Star Tower, the Virtual Universe System still covers the area; the Military System can gather each soldier's coordinates, integrate them, and view the coordinates of comrades and allies within a billion kilometers.

"I also just encountered a Forbidden Guard attack," Xiao Yu said.

"The situation has become serious; it seems the likelihood of a Sealed Star being born is very high," said Zhen Tian King. "San Yan, you also need to be careful; I won't say more, I'm entering the next Forbidden Space."

If a Sealed Star is born, the countless Forbidden Spaces within the Star Tower, under some old silver coin's twisted whim, will guide strong beings of all races to gather and converge toward the birthplace of the Sealed Star!

Each time a Sealed Star is born, a massive slaughter ensues, with strong individuals from the major races battling each other on a large scale.

After ending the call with Zhen Tian King, Xiao Yu also received calls from Xuan Dao Wang, Yu Dao Wang, and more than ten other allies of the same camp; all were comrades or allies within a billion kilometers, and the content was similar—they too had encountered various troubles.

This means the probability of a Sealed Star being born is extremely high.

Although the Sealed Star is a Heavy Treasure, for Xiao Yu, who already possesses the Venerable Divine Armor, Wings of Space-Time, and Heaven-Crushing Blade, its allure is limited.

Yet the clashes among the four major races make Xiao Yu yearn.

According to the timeline, a Sealed Star shouldn't appear for several thousand years; why does one appear the moment I arrived? Xiao Yu was somewhat puzzled.

I'm just a human from Earth, and I haven't cultivated the Nine Tribulation Secret Scripture, so I shouldn't attract that being's attention! Perhaps a Sealed Star was supposed to be born at this very moment.

Xiao Yu glanced at the Sealed Star deep in the void, thought no more, and headed toward the end of the passage.

It was an endless desert world; after Xiao Yu entered, the passage vanished.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
