Heart of the Universe

"Aww!!"

"Hiss!!"

Those powerful World Beasts that occupied various parts of the Boundary Sea and even Chen Fan found troublesome, suddenly awoke from their slumber, letting out a series of terrified and uneasy howls. Their massive bodies swayed in the storm, and then they fled in all directions away from the epicenter.

It was as if some great terror, one that even they feared and capable of bringing annihilation, was about to descend!

Chen Fan frowned.

His figure remained as steady as a rock amidst the raging Law Storm. The turbulent currents, powerful enough to tear Stars apart, were smoothed out by an invisible Dao Rhythm when they approached within three feet of him.

He immediately unleashed his immense Divine Thought, which had surged dozens of times compared to three months ago.

The Divine Thought, like an invisible and intangible net, instantly covered billions of miles of Void, ignoring the raging Law Turbulence, piercing through layers of spatial mist, and boldly probing towards the source that had caused the entire Boundary Sea to tremble!

The next second.

Chen Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

In his Divine Thought perception, in that unknown place at the deepest part of that Boundary Sea.

A Giant Gate, immeasurably large and seemingly existing since time immemorial, constructed entirely from the most ancient Universe Origin, creaked and groaned as it slowly, inch by inch, began to open...

Slowly open!

The Law Storm swept through the Void like a knife, even distorting light into bizarre shapes.

Those normally ferocious and arrogant World Beast were now like a school of frightened fish, desperately fleeing towards the edge of the Boundary Sea, as if there was something more terrifying than death behind them.

Everything else recedes, except for one figure, who goes against the current.

Chen Fan transformed into a streak of Stream of Light as fine as dust, silently passing through the raging Law Turbulence.

The Origin Source aura emanating from the deepest part of the Boundary Sea, which surpassed his comprehension, did not frighten him. Instead, it stirred an unprecedented longing within the already saturated Miniature Universe deep within his Dantian.

This place is sure to hold a great opportunity!

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before us.

The raging Law Storm seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand, revealing an absolutely silent Void.

In the center of this Void, the Giant Gate that had triggered the upheaval across the entire Boundary Sea floated silently.

Chen Fan's pupils contracted slightly.

Dozens of figures had already gathered before the Giant Gate.

They belonged to different camps, clearly divided.

There was Bone Emperor entire body was forged from the bones of gods and demons, and whose eye sockets burned with ghostly blue soul fire.

There was a Primordial Era Demon Venerable shrouded in endless Demonic Qi, with only two crimson blood-red eyes visible.

There were also Ancient Ancestors of the Shadow Clan whose forms existed between reality and illusion, resembling a distorted shadow...

Without exception, every single one of them was at the Ninth-Tier Peak!

He is an old monster who has truly lived through countless years, standing at the pinnacle of Martial Dao among Ten Thousand Races, overlooking the changing of eras!

These sworn enemies, who should have been locked in a life-or-death struggle from the moment they met, were strangely silent at this moment.

All eyes were fixed on the ancient bronze Giant Gate, as if they were frozen in place.

A suffocating, calm before the storm enveloped the place.

Chen Fan's arrival was like a pebble thrown into a still lake.

"Buzz!"

A Bone Emperor, a thousand feet tall, was the first to notice. His empty eye sockets suddenly turned towards Chen Fan, and two points of ghostly blue soul fire instantly surged. A chilling killing intent mixed with the Power of Law resentment and poison almost burst forth from his body!

Human Race! Still so young, yet their Dao Rhythm is so perfect it inspires envy!

This is an immeasurable resource!

However, just as he was about to make his move, a cold Divine Thought from an Ancient Ancestor of the Shadow Clan beside him reached out.

"Gu Sha, do you want to be annihilated by the rules of the Primordial Origin Gate right now?"

The Bone Emperor named Gu Sha froze, his soul fire pulsating violently. After struggling for several breaths, he finally managed to suppress the murderous intent that was about to burst forth.

He didn't make another move, but his venomous soul fire clung to Chen Fan like a leech.

It felt like looking at a piece of art that already belonged to me.

Chen Fan remained calm, but he had already made a mental note of this person.

Just then, the distant Void was torn apart once again.

Three War Fortress, covered in chisel marks and adorned with the ancient war emblem of the Human Federation, slowly sailed out, crushing space.

Three powerful auras, as solid as mountains and carrying the weight of countless ages and the chilling scent of bloodshed, rose from the warship.

The ancestors of Human Race have arrived!

Seeing this, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all, and moved to meet him.

He concealed all his sharpness and respectfully performed a junior Martial Artist salute to an elderly man with white hair and sharp, eagle-like eyes who emerged from the lead warship.

"Chen Fan Human Race, greets all the seniors."

The three Ninth-Tier Peak Human Race experts were all stunned when they saw Chen Fan.

Too young!

With that kind of appearance, you could easily be mistaken for a recent graduate from any university.

But the next second, when their Divine Thought swept over and they sensed the unfathomable, flawless Dao Rhythm within Chen Fan's body, like a universe in itself, the three old monsters, who had lived for countless millennia, simultaneously displayed disbelief, horror, and ecstasy on their faces!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The white-haired elder at the head of the group stepped forward, his hands gently supporting Chen Fan, preventing him from kneeling.

He looked Chen Fan up and down as if admiring a rare treasure, and said "good" three times in a row, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Haha! Our Human Race actually has such Qilin Prodigy as you! I Zhan Wuji, and these two are the Sword Master and the Martial Fool. Child, no need for formalities. In our Human Race, the accomplished come first!"

Chen Fan stood up humbly.

"You flatter me, senior. May I ask what the situation is here? Why...?"

He glanced at the menacing Alien Races emperors in the distance.

Zhan Wuji's smile vanished, replaced by an unprecedentedly solemn expression. He pointed to the ancient bronze Giant Gate, speaking each word with a voice that seemed to carry immense power.

"This place is called the Heart of the Boundary Sea. And this gate is the Primordial Origin Gate!"

It only opens once every ten thousand years.

"Behind the door lies the Universe Origin, accumulated through countless cycles of birth and death across cosmic eras. And at the core of all this Origin Source, it will coalesce into a... unique Heart of the Universe!"

Upon hearing the words "Heart of the Universe," even Chen Fan, with his composed mind, couldn't help but feel a slight ripple.

Zhan Wuji's voice carried a barely perceptible tremor and a hint of longing.

"Child, you have reached the Ninth Tier; know that the road ahead has come to an end."

"But the Beyond the Ninth Tier is not nothingness!"

"He is... the Martial God!"

"To take that step and completely evolve one's own Dao Fruit Divine Kingdom into a true, independent universe unbound by the rules of this world, one must obtain the Heart of the Universe!"

"Use it as a starting point to reshape the world!"
