A remote place in the Primordial Universe.

A massive Black Hole plunged the vast surrounding star field into darkness. Three figures gazed at this dark star field from afar; they were Lin Yan, Luo Feng, and the Chaos City Lord.

"This is the Toya Black Hole, which is also considered the most powerful Black Hole in the entire Primordial Universe," said the Chaos City Lord. "There are two ways to travel from the Primordial Universe to the Cosmic Sea."

"The first method is to enter the Space Interlayer, then teleport until reaching the end of the Space Interlayer, and then break through the Universe Membrane Wall. Although the membrane of the Primordial Universe is a strong barrier, even the Lord of the Universe can break through it."

"The second way is through the Toya Black Hole." The Chaos City Lord pointed ahead, "The Toya Black Hole's powerful tearing and twisting force has been constantly damaging the membrane wall, so once you enter the Black Hole, you can go directly through it."

"In the area outside the Toya Black Hole, there are a total of 39 Natural Wormhole... This is the main reason why powerful beings from all sides of our Primordial Universe exited from here."

"Natural Wormhole?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

In the Primordial Universe, one can easily travel billions of light-years through Divine Kingdom Teleportation. Even without coordinate tokens, one can still fly through the Dark Universe without Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

In the Dark Universe, there is no upper limit to speed. Some very ordinary spaceships can exceed the speed of light. Even someone as powerful as Lin Yan, when he uses the "Nine Heavens" secret technique, can achieve speeds close to two million times the speed of light!

The ratio of the Dark Universe to the Primordial Universe is tens of millions of times, which means that it can travel hundreds of thousands of light-years every second.

But--

Once you enter the Cosmic Sea, you are no longer within the Primordial Universe, and you can no longer Divine Kingdom Teleportation or fly through the Dark Universe. Apart from teleportation, you can only rely on Natural Wormhole.

"The Cosmic Sea is vast and boundless." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and sighed, "The limit of the Lord of the Universe's teleportation is ten thousand light-years each time. Even if the Lord of the Universe's Will and Consciousness can maintain a very high frequency of teleportation... such continuous teleportation is still very tiring."

"Fortunately, the environment in the Cosmic Sea is harsh and strange, and there are many, many Natural Wormhole. Following Natural Wormhole from one end to the other could be hundreds of billions of light-years."

"So... in the Cosmic Sea, we rely on Natural Wormhole to travel most of the way. In areas without Natural Wormhole, we have to rely on teleportation," said the Chaos City Lord. "Over countless years, our human race has recorded the locations of the two points connected by a large number of Natural Wormhole, and we can find the fastest route to our destination from them."

Both Lin Yan companion were entering the Cosmic Sea for the first time. Although they were incredibly powerful, the Chaos City Lord still shared some of his experiences with them.

After all, the most dangerous thing to do when venturing into the Cosmic Sea is not the enemy, but the Cosmic Sea itself.

"Natural Wormhole ..." Lin Yan thought to himself, "The teleportation limit of Universe Venerable is a thousand light-years, but I have cultivated the Black Hole Sacred Body to the fifth level. The gravitational energy and rotational energy of the Black Hole can penetrate the surrounding spacetime and instantly form a wormhole. Furthermore, under the influence of gravitational energy, the exit location of the wormhole is determined."

"The fifth level of the Black Hole Sacred Body can lock onto any location within a radius of 10,000 light-years, making it comparable to the Lord of the Universe."

Although he is not the ruler of the universe, he is no different from the ruler of the universe.

In terms of arcane arts, the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow has already reached the level of a Lord of the Universe.

In terms of divine power, he possesses the talent of "Annihilation," which is comparable to the divine power of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Times Gene.

There's also the Star Shifting Lamp, Control of Space-Time, and even teleportation... it has "Wormhole Shuttling," comparable to the teleportation limits of the Lord of the Universe.

As they were talking.

The Chaos City Lord sent them a map of the Cosmic Sea through the Virtual Universe. The map was incredibly complex and intricate, and this massive map was a great treasure of the human race.

"This is the most detailed map of our human race to date, shared by all of our highest-ranking members. We will also create a simplified version, about two-thirds of the original map, for the other Alien Race universe lords of the Hong Alliance," said the Chaos City Lord. "Unless we obtain the consent of the Great Axe Meeting, we are not allowed to trade with other forces. You should all understand why."

"Of course, compared to the Cosmic Sea, this only records a tiny fraction of the area."

"You can teleport to places clearly marked on the map, but teleportation is prohibited in unknown areas not covered by the map. You must fly!" the Chaos City Lord solemnly said. "Because you can only record the map in detail where you fly. Otherwise, if you get too far away and can't find any reference points on the map, it will be very, very difficult to find your way back."

The Cosmic Sea is simply too vast. Not to mention the human race still in the Original Universe Era, even the powerful beings before the Great Destruction could only explore a very limited area.

"Follow me, the Cosmic Sea lies ahead." The Chaos City Lord led the way, and the three flew directly into the depths of the Toya Black Hole.

The deepest part of the Toya Black Hole.

The endless devouring and twisting power acted on their bodies, but their armor was at the Peak Supreme Treasure, and it had no effect on them after being weakened.

"This is the true form of the Toya Black Hole." The Chaos City Lord pointed ahead and smiled at Lin Yan. "Junior Brother should be quite familiar with this."

"That's true." Lin Yan shook his head and smiled.

It was a sphere about three meters tall, entirely black, with dark gold patterns on its surface. Countless patterns formed a very strange design... This sphere with dark gold patterns was the real body of the Toya Black Hole.

Around this Black Sphere was a membrane wall of the entire Primordial Universe. The powerful devouring and twisting force directly tore the membrane wall open, creating an irregular hole with a diameter of nearly ten thousand kilometers.

Since his first encounter with "Black Hole Evolution" at the Cosmic level, Lin Yan has spent many years studying and comprehending the "Way of Black Hole." When he cultivated the fifth level of "Black Hole Sacred Body," he even searched for and devoured numerous Black Hole Celestial in the Primordial Universe, so it was naturally impossible for him to be unfamiliar with them.

It can even Black Hole Transformation... Of course, it cannot yet compare to the "Toya Black Hole," which is considered the strongest in the Primordial Universe.

However, the power he could unleash under the divine force of his secret technique far exceeded the naturally generated twisting and devouring force.

"I've only cultivated the 'Black Hole Sacred Body' to the fifth level. The sixth to ninth levels will require a breakthrough in the Divine Power route before I can even begin to master it." Lin Yan shook his head inwardly. "If I were to truly reach the highest level, the Toya Black Hole would be no match for me."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The three of them flew directly out through the irregularly torn membrane opening... and immediately saw that the surrounding area was filled with Chaos Qi flow that looked like mist.

The endless Chaos Qi flow generated overwhelming pressure, which was extremely strong. Although there was no deliberate attack, the pressure it naturally emitted was enough to annihilate an Immortal God.

Chaos Qi flow is the source of energy in the universe.

The key to the Strongest Secret Technique created by the lords of the universe lies in transforming divine power into the most primordial "Chaos Qi flow," but the transformed Chaos Qi flow is still not as pure as that in the Cosmic Sea.

"Leaving the Primordial Universe, outside this... is the Cosmic Sea." Lin Yan sighed to himself.

He stood in the void and turned to look behind him, a hint of shock in his eyes. He saw a huge membrane spreading outwards, like a giant curtain that seemed to have no end, as if it had directly covered half of the entire Cosmic Sea.

"The Primordial Universe was merely the cradle that gave birth to Myriad Races, while the outer Cosmic Sea was the true battlefield."

"When I become the Universe's Strongest, the God Kingdom will begin to evolve into Small Universe and enter this vast Cosmic Sea. It's something to look forward to."

Lin Yan gazed at the endless Primordial Universe membrane before him, his eyes gleaming with divine light, and silently thought to himself.

The endless Cosmic Sea is permeated with Chaos Qi flow.

However, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, one cannot simply rely on sight to see; for example, the pervasive divine power allows for a clearer understanding of the surrounding situation.

They teleported instantly to a void, which was surrounded by 39 twisted spatial openings, all of which were Natural Wormhole.

"There are 39 Natural Wormhole, with varying entrance sizes and distances to them," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "The map I gave you is very detailed and has multiple description methods to help you accurately identify Natural Wormhole numbered 1 through 39."

He pointed to one of the larger, distorted spatial openings not far away. "Our route this time is along this No. 15 Natural Wormhole."

After passing through the Natural Wormhole, the next leg of the journey would require teleportation. The Chaos City Lord led them, maintaining a very high frequency of teleportation to travel.

Two days later.

They arrived at yet another Natural Wormhole, directly traversing a distance of hundreds of billions of light-years. Just as they emerged from the spatial vortex, they saw a massive celestial body in the void not far in front of them.

The enormous Universe Membrane Wall stretched out, its Universe Membrane Wall nowhere in sight, but it was incredibly broken, with hundreds of irregular holes and cracks, allowing Chaos Qi flow to flow freely through the Cosmic Sea and within the Universe Membrane Wall.

Clearly, this is a Small Universe with a diameter of about 100 million light-years, and a prominent object on the map, but this Small Universe has already fallen and is in ruins.

"This Small Universe... how could it be like this?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise.

His understanding of the Cosmic Sea was still very limited, and he was quite shocked when he looked at this dilapidated Small Universe.

"When a strong person cultivates to the highest peak, they Universe's Strongest, and when a divine kingdom develops to the highest peak, it becomes Small Universe." The Chaos City Lord, dressed in a golden robe, sighed. "Just as if Immortal God were to fall, his divine kingdom would quickly become desolate and ruined, so too would the Universe's Strongest. Once they fall, their Small Universe would naturally fall into ruin."

"Like that 'Xuan Yuan'?" Luo Feng replied.

The Qingfeng Realm Remnant Map that was previously competed for in the Yuan Ao Secret Realm was left behind by "Xuan Yuan," the Universe's Strongest before the Great Destruction Era. Xuan Yuan loved adventure and exploration, and perished because he went deep into "The Qingfeng Realm," one of the Three great forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea.

What power does the Universe's Strongest?

It was something that could cause the Universe's Strongest to fall, and it left a deep impression on Luo Feng.

The Chaos City Lord shook his head. "For the Universe's Strongest, only a very small number will perish in the Three great forbidden zones. As long as you avoid some of the most dangerous areas, it is not difficult to save your life."

"What threatens them the most is often not a powerful enemy, nor a dangerous wasteland."

Lin Yan looked at the Small Universe that was constantly collapsing and said softly, "It's reincarnation."

"Yes," the Chaos City Lord sighed, "It is reincarnation."

"The Primordial Universe gave birth to Myriad Races and countless powerful beings. As time passed, the Primordial Universe would rapidly decline and even Great Destruction after reaching its most prosperous peak! Then a new cycle of birth would begin... Each cycle would give birth to Myriad Races, many geniuses, some of the Universe's Strongest, and a large number of universe lords."

"Each cycle is incredibly long."

"Each cycle has a group of the Universe's Strongest, and each Universe's Strongest corresponds to a Small Universe."

"These Small Universe drift in the Cosmic Sea, many of which are already beyond the Cosmic Sea of our exploration. Yet we have discovered 18,022 of them!" said the Chaos City Lord. "From these Small Universe, we can know how many Universe's Strongest have been born. However, more than 99% of these Small Universe are like the ones before us, all of them are in ruins."

"Correspondingly... this also means that all the Universe's Strongest have perished."

Luo Feng's pupils contracted.

Tens of thousands of the Universe's Strongest have fallen? He couldn't help but hold his breath.

"In the Cosmic Sea, we can regard this cycle as the Third Universe Era," the Chaos City Lord explained. "The cycle before us can be regarded as the Second Universe Era, and the cycle before that as the First Universe Era."

"Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of reproduction, while the previous two cycles have completed their full cycles, naturally giving birth to far more powerful beings than we have... Our Third Era is the weakest of all, while the First Era was the strongest."

"When this cycle ends, the Primordial Universe Great Destruction, the current First Reincarnation Era will be completely Annihilation, and we will become the second cycle."

In the early stages of the universe's development, the rate at which powerful beings were born was very slow because secret techniques and other methods needed to be created and perfected. As time went on, the efficiency of cultivating powerful beings would continuously increase. The first two cycles were complete and took place in the Cosmic Sea, so the number of powerful beings was naturally different.

Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock. "So, Small Universe can only exist for a maximum of three Reincarnation Era?"

"The Cosmic Sea is incredibly mysterious, but based on the information we have, any powerful figure from any Reincarnation Era can only live for a maximum of three Reincarnation Era," said the Chaos City Lord. "However, there are exceptions."

Luo Feng asked in confusion, "An exception?"

The Chaos City Lord nodded. "Besides the three great cosmic eras... there are two other forces in the Cosmic Sea, each belonging to a Small Universe, also known as the two 'Holy Land Universe'!"

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

"A large number of Small Universe, including tens of thousands of destroyed ones... are all at most 100 million light-years in diameter. However, the two major Holy Land Universes, one with a diameter of 2.1 billion light-years and the other with a diameter of 3.2 billion light-years, are the two largest Small Universe. The Reincarnation Era in which they existed is no longer verifiable."

"However, we speculate that it was created by the Universe's Strongest ten or even one hundred cosmic cycles before our time."

Luo Feng was secretly alarmed.

Countless cycles of reincarnation have Annihilation, leaving only these two Small Universe. So, what level of strength must the two beings who left behind these Small Universe of the holy land have reached?

With a flick of his hand, the Chaos City Lord took out two transparent crystal spheres that shimmered with golden light and handed them to Lin Yan and Luo Feng.

"These are records of powerful figures from the Primordial Universe, the Second Universe Era before the Great Destruction, the First Universe Era, and the two great Holy Lands," the Chaos City Lord solemnly stated. "These are extremely high-level messages, some of which involve major secrets. After reading them, destroy them and do not circulate them."

He only brought it out now so that Lin Yan and the other person could see this shattered universe, better understand the meaning behind it, and thus pay more attention to these messages and be wary of the enemies of various forces.

Lin Yan pursed his lips and accepted the transparent crystal ball.

He knew all of what the Chaos City Lord had just said, and even knew more details, including some secrets that no one else knew.

However, even the weakest Primordial Universe in the Three Great Reincarnation Eras has more than a dozen Universe's Strongest and nearly a thousand universe lords. The information about the strong beings in other Reincarnation Era, including the Holy Land Universe, is naturally extremely complex, something he couldn't access before.

A wisp of divine power seeped in, and instantly countless pieces of information began to flood into his mind.

The detailed information on the East Emperor Holy Land, the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Divine Eye Clan, the Skeleton Clan... greatly broadened Lin Yan's horizons.

"Feeling the pressure?" The Chaos City Lord smiled at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded.

After reading this confidential message, he did feel an overwhelming sense of crisis. His divine power was only equivalent to that of Hundredfold Gene Universe, which was far too weak. It was not bad in the Primordial Universe, but it was far too weak in the Cosmic Sea.

Take those two great Holy Lands for example. They have existed for countless cycles. Any universe lord who dares to venture out has comprehended the Strongest Secret Technique and their divine power is much stronger than his. Even if Luo Feng uses all his skills, he would definitely be at the bottom compared to them.

"I originally planned to let you come after you reached the level of a Universe Lord, but fortunately you have a strong ability to protect yourself. Coming to the Cosmic Sea to hone your skills in advance will also benefit you in your journey to becoming a Universe Lord," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

He then looked at Lin Yan: "As for you, junior brother... your strength is even above mine. Apart from the Universe's Strongest, you are not afraid of anyone. But since you have just entered the Cosmic Sea, you should be more careful and familiarize yourself with the environment before you really go on an adventure."

"There are many dangerous places in the Cosmic Sea. Our human race knows of more than 3,000 of them, and the two great Holy Lands know of even more, but they won't tell us," said the Chaos City Lord. "Take the dangerous place marked on the map, 'Zhensha River,' for example. It's a very ordinary place, but even I have to explore it with great care. If I dare to be arrogant and teleport recklessly, I'm afraid I'll be in danger of perishing."

He also knew that his strength was inferior to Lin Yan's, and his ability to protect himself was far worse. He had nothing to say if Lin Yan went to venture into some very dangerous areas. He just hoped that his junior brother would be more cautious since he was new to the area.

"Senior brother, I know," Lin Yan said.

"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded solemnly, "Back then, my teacher traversed the Cosmic Sea and ultimately fought against the Primordial Universe. His purpose was to create another Holy Land Universe in this Cosmic Sea, so that our human race could Eternal Existence like those two great Holy Lands."

"Unfortunately, the teacher failed and was Permanently Suppressed by the origin of the Primordial Universe."

"But the hope for our human race remains!"

"In the Giant Axe, in me, and even more so in you."

"Especially you, junior brother, you haven't even set foot in the Cosmic Sea yet, but you are recognized by many powerful figures as the most likely to reach the level our teacher once reached... Only if we are strong enough can we create a Path to Eternity for the human race and rescue our teacher."

" To Enter Reincarnation..." Lin Yan murmured to himself.

"Let's go," said the Chaos City Lord. "The strongest members of our human race in the Cosmic Sea are mainly in the Qingfeng Realm, where we have a temporary gathering place. Let's head there now."
