Chapter 460: Land of Void

A flash of cold light flickered, and Xiao Yu entered the Cold Cliff Fortress again, particle‑like.

Under a ten‑thousand‑fold Time Acceleration, the Cold Cliff Fortress almost instantly broke through to ten thousand times the speed of light.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu's divine energy continued to blaze throughout his body, and the Eternal Star Domain kept resisting the devouring force.

He also kept using the Source God Blade to cast "I Am Time‑Space", continuously hindering the dark vortex's devouring power.

"One light‑year left, and we can escape this Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu," Xiao Yu could already see the nearby Ice Star Region ahead, as if he had found hope.

The Ice Star Region, though extremely dangerous, also had its time frozen, trapped in the influence of endless temporal slowdown.

Yet at this moment, in Xiao Yu's eyes, perhaps only the Ice Star Region could impede the expansion of that endless dark vortex.

A moment later, as the Cold Cliff Fortress was about to burst out of the Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu, the dark vortex's speed had surged to ten million times the speed of light.

Meanwhile, under the endless devouring force, the Cold Cliff Fortress's speed had dropped to a hundred times the speed of light.

Even with the resistance of the Eternal Star Domain, it still could not withstand this calamity that seemed to cover the entire Cosmic Vessel.

He watched as the dark vortex already reached several million kilometers behind him.

Xiao Yu could only condense all domain powers to shield himself, and also cast "I Am Time‑Space" to envelop himself.

"Swoosh!"

Xiao Yu felt himself suddenly shrouded by darkness.

The endless devouring force tore at Xiao Yu; "I Am Time‑Space" lasted only an instant before the endless river of time and space shattered.

Even the endless ice‑fire stars failed to provide any effective resistance to the endless tearing force.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The endless tearing and strangling force acted upon the Cold Cliff Fortress.

The Cold Cliff Fortress was instantly torn by the endless chaotic force, flailing wildly in the darkness.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yu still felt as if he were continuously falling downward.

"Hold the line," Xiao Yu prayed silently in his heart.

If the Cold Cliff Fortress were torn apart, he would have only the Cosmic God Armor as his final fallback.

For a long while.

His will immersed in the endless darkness, Xiao Yu felt the Cold Cliff Fortress colliding repeatedly with massive objects.

Several times the fortress's defenses reached their limit, the endless tearing force seeped in each time, but Xiao Yu's Cosmic God Armor repelled it.

The Divine Body suffered severe damage many times, but thanks to the World Tree's branches restoring divine power, his will remained intact.

"Eh?" Xiao Yu suddenly stared in surprise at the coordinates in his consciousness.

In the virtual image, Xiao Yu was already approaching the treasure that lay at the very core of the Cosmic Vessel.

Three months later, after many times standing on the brink of collapse, Xiao Yu pulled through.

Xiao Yu found himself as if he had arrived in a Land of Void.

Here there were no law fluctuations, nor any light.

Based on his coordinates in the virtual image, it should be inside a treasure vault.

"What on earth is happening? Could it be that I'm under an illusion, and everything before my eyes is fake," Xiao Yu thought.

Even though Xiao Yu's soul‑will was steadfast, even using the Fourteenth‑Tier "Reincarnation", he could not dispel the so‑called illusion.

Although the situation was still unclear, Xiao Yu felt he had already escaped the mortal peril.

A shift of thought sent both treasures into the Inheritance Space.

Within the Inheritance Space, Xiao Yu looked at the two treasures in his hand: the Nether Wind Orb and the Nine Heavens Thunder Crystal.

He commanded the World Seed to begin absorbing the two treasures, simultaneously devouring them.

In an instant, endless devouring force erupted; the World Seed's absorption energy seemed to surge by thousands of times.

The Nether Wind Orb and the Nine Heavens Thunder Crystal shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three days later, the World Seed again obtained the treasures of the Wind Law and the Thunder Law, and the Wind Law and Thunder Law began to gestate within the World Seed.

The World Seed also changed from four colors to six.

"Now my World Seed has already begun to nurture the seven great laws—Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Time, and Space," Xiao Yu thought, still quietly rejoicing at the seed's progress.

But being trapped in this Land of Void now was rather troublesome.

Unable to leave the Land of Void for the moment, Xiao Yu exited the Inheritance Space and immediately resumed piloting the Cold Cliff Fortress toward the distant coordinates.

The Cold Cliff Fortress surged forward, continuously accelerating toward the coordinates.

……

In the Virtual Universe, within Luo Feng's exclusive plane.

Xiao Yu materialized out of thin air, standing before the towering palace, and in the next instant locked onto Luo Feng, Hong and their positions.

He then instantly teleported into the palace.

"Third Brother, you're here," Luo Feng exclaimed, overjoyed.

He has now officially advanced to become a Universe Venerable, his power soaring dramatically.

"Old Three, you've arrived!" Hong laughed, saying he was currently on the Primeval Star searching for treasure with his teammates.

"Old Three." Lei Shen, though still meditating on the Law Stele within Xiao Yu's Divine Kingdom, also attended Old Four's promotion celebration banquet.

"How could I miss Luo Feng's celebration banquet?" Xiao Yu laughed, then took a seat, lifted a cup of wine, and began drinking.

"Luo Feng, how's it going on the Primeval Star lately?" Xiao Yu asked, also concerned about the affairs of the Earth Lineage.

"Old Four is formidable now; it's said he already possesses top‑tier Overlord‑level strength, comparable to the Eclipse Palace Lord," Hong said.

Back then, Luo Feng slayed the Universe Overlord Lord of Radiant Light; after that lord was revived, Luo Feng's strength was further confirmed.

The news spread rapidly throughout the Primordial Universe.

"I reckon we'll be targeted in the future," Luo Feng sighed.

Previously Xiao Yu had not responded at all to their earlier actions against Luo Feng, and this would inevitably breed their ambition.

"If anything comes up, let me know; I've been in the Creation Universe Nation all along, and I can rush over at top speed," Xiao Yu said.

Next to the Creation Universe Nation, a star sector contains a passage leading to the Primeval Star.

The celebratory feast lasted three days and three nights, and the four brothers happily drank for three days.

……

The planar space of the Giant Axe Founder of the Virtual Universe.

On either side of the long table, every Human Race Lord of the Universe was present.

At the head seat, Xiao Yu and the Giant Axe Founder had also all arrived.

The Giant Axe Founder swept his gaze around, "Everyone, the Star Tower has already disappeared."

"We just found out."

"How could the Star Tower disappear? It has stood in the void for countless ages. Even the Strongest of the Universe cannot forcibly take it away. How could it suddenly vanish?" Lord of Desolate Inspection and the other Lords of the Universe were all shocked by this explosive news.

Immediately, under the Giant Axe Founder's instruction, the Virtual Universe System displayed the process of the Star Tower's disappearance before the many Lords of the Universe.

Then each Lord of the Universe voiced their own opinions.

"Xiao Yu, how do you view this matter?" the Giant Axe Founder suddenly turned his head toward Xiao Yu, who was wandering in a trance beside him.

"The emergence of the Star Tower was sudden to begin with; it must have been placed there by some strong individual. As for why that strong individual placed it there, I have some guesses: he probably intended to select a master for the Star Tower." Xiao Yu said directly, "Now that the Star Tower has suddenly vanished, it must be that someone has already completed the recognition of the master for the Star Tower." (End of chapter)
