First Steps into the Universe Ocean

The Human Territory, the Primal Secret Realm where the Chaos City Lord resides.

The Thousand Treasures River flows mightily, its power spreading for light-years.

"Master." Yang Yu respectfully. However, what arrived here was Demon Dragon Clone shrunk to the size of a normal human.

"Ready?"

The Chaos City Lord, Original Body in a golden robe, smiled and said that he had patches of blue scales on his head and looked very much like Earthlings. His eyes were as vast and deep as the starry sky.

At the same time, the Chaos City Lord exuded an incomparably sharp aura. Under this aura, even space and time seemed incredibly fragile, as if they would shatter completely at any moment.

"Yes, it's ready."

Yang Yu nodded, while also observing the Original Body of the Chaos City Lord.

The Chaos City Lord's Original Body was exactly the same as the image that frequently appeared in the Virtual Universe.

"Follow me." The Chaos City Lord nodded, and with Yang Yu in Teleportation, he first teleported, and then God Kingdom Teleportation.

In a remote corner of the Primal Universe, there lies a colossal Black Hole.

The Black Hole had already plunged the vast surrounding star field into darkness, but two figures appeared in a flash—it was the Chaos City Lord and Yang Yu.

"There are two ways to reach the Universe Ocean," Chaos City said to Yang Yu.

"One method is to enter the Space Layer and then Teleportation to the end, passing through the endless Universe Membrane Wall. Outside is the Universe Ocean. Although the Universe Membrane Wall is a strong barrier, the Combat Power of Universe Master can easily break through it."

Yang Yu nodded and listened attentively.

"The second method is to leave the Primal Universe through this Toya Black Hole," said the Chaos City Lord.

"The Toya Black Hole is arguably the most powerful Black Hole in the entire Primal Universe. Black Hole immense tearing and twisting forces constantly erode the Universe Membrane Wall, so entering the Black Hole allows one to directly enter the Universe Ocean."

Yang Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"Of course, if it were just about easy exit, most powerful individuals wouldn't choose this place. The main reason is that the area outside the Toya Black Hole has a total of 39 Natural Wormhole."

"Natural Wormhole?"

"Yes, the Universe Ocean is vast and boundless," the Chaos City Lord sighed. "Once you enter the Universe Ocean, it's no longer within the Primal Universe. You can no longer travel by God Kingdom Teleportation, nor can you fly through the Dark Universe. To navigate the Universe Ocean, you need either Teleportation or Natural Wormhole."

"The Universe Ocean is boundless, and the Primal Universe is only a part of it. Moreover, there are many dangerous places within it, and it is impractical to travel by Teleportation alone. Therefore, the importance of Natural Wormhole is self-evident."

"Fortunately, although the environment in the Universe Ocean is strange and harsh, there are a great many Natural Wormhole."

"Along Natural Wormhole, from one end to the other, the distance could be hundreds of billions of light-years," said the Chaos City Lord. "In the Universe Ocean, most of the journey is made by using Natural Wormhole. Some journeys require Teleportation or flight. Of course, over an endless period of time, the locations of the two points connected by numerous Natural Wormhole have been recorded, allowing us to find the fastest route to our destination."

Yang Yu nodded.

"Remember!"

"The Universe Ocean is different from the Primal Universe. The Primal Universe's unique structure allows you to determine your coordinates anywhere. But you can't determine your coordinates in the Universe Ocean," the Chaos City Lord earnestly instructed.

"Therefore, maps are extremely important in the Universe Ocean, and reference points on the maps are also extremely important. Only by referring to maps and reference points can one avoid getting lost in the Universe Ocean."

"You must understand that getting lost in the Universe Ocean is extremely dangerous. Once lost... if you try to find your way back by Teleportation, you'll likely drift further and further away, eventually becoming permanently lost in the Universe Ocean. You might be lucky enough to find your way back after countless epochs."

The Chaos City Lord looked serious, and Yang Yu's expression also turned solemn upon hearing this.

"Therefore, any Universe Master who does not have Clone must leave an avatar in the Primal Universe. This is to prevent being completely lost in special circumstances in the Universe Ocean. With an avatar, at least you can obtain a map. But even if you obtain a map, if you get too far lost and cannot find any reference points on the map, it's all over," said the Chaos City Lord.

"Therefore, you can't wander around in the Universe Ocean. If you want to explore the Universe Ocean carefully, you must rely on flying, because you can record the details of the places you fly over on a map."

Yang Yu understood.

"You can Teleportation areas clearly marked on the map. Teleportation is prohibited in unknown areas not covered by the map!" the Chaos City Lord solemnly declared.

"I will now give you a map of the Universe Ocean. This is the most detailed map our Human Race currently knows, though it only covers a small part of the Universe Ocean," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "Another mission for our Human Race's powerful warriors venturing into the Universe Ocean is to continuously enrich and improve this map, so that those who come after us can venture out more safely and efficiently."

"Yes, Master."

Soon after, Yang Yu received an exceptionally complex and enormous map. The sheer number of marked locations and the complexity of the information made even Yang Yu feel a slight tremor.

"Walk!"

"Let's go to the Universe Ocean," the Chaos City Lord said, leading Yang Yu directly.

Boom!

The two flew directly into the depths of the Toya Black Hole.

"Phew~"

The powerful devouring and twisting force acting on him would have instantly reduced a Universe Venerable to ashes if he had been subjected to it.

However, Yang Yu had already perfectly mastered the 100x Divine Body Amplitude, and the Gene Level of the Demon Dragon Clone had reached perfection. In addition, the Treasure Armor weakened him, so this bit of devouring and twisting force posed no threat whatsoever.

Yang Yu and the Chaos City Lord quickly arrived at the deepest part of the Toya Black Hole, side by side.

"That's the true form of the Toya Black Hole," the Chaos City Lord pointed ahead.

Yang Yu looked over.

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 Golden Secret Pattern is the Black Hole itself, constantly generating an endless and terrifying force of twisting and devouring.

Around it lies one of the membrane walls of the entire Primal Universe, and this twisting force has torn a hole nearly ten thousand kilometers in diameter into the membrane wall.

Swish! Swish!

Yang Yu and the Chaos City Lord flew past the Black Hole itself, completely resisting Black Hole attraction, and flew directly out through the irregular Membrane Wall Hole torn open.

Outside lies the Universe Ocean!

"Boom!"

As soon as Yang Yu flew into the Universe Ocean, he felt an overwhelming and terrifying pressure.

Look up.

This oppressive force comes from the endless Chaos Qi surrounding them.

The Chaos Qi, resembling mist, were generating immense pressure. The sheer force of this pressure was terrifying; the pressure emanating from the air alone was enough to obliterate an Immortal Spirit.

"This is the real Chaos Qi," Yang Yu thought to himself, feeling the pressure on his body.

The Chaos Qi of the Initial Universe was only conceived within the True God Miniature Universe, and it was only in its initial evolutionary state, so naturally it had no oppressive force whatsoever.

Even so, the Chaos Beast born from such Chaos Qi have a slight effect on improving cultivation aptitude.

The even more wondrous Universe Ocean naturally gives birth to even more mysterious treasures.

"Leaving the Primal Universe means venturing into the Universe Ocean." The Chaos City Lord turned to look behind him.

Yang Yu also turned around to look.

Not far behind, one could see the irregularly torn Membrane Wall Hole, visible at a glance.

The enormous membrane spread outwards, like a giant Curtain Wall that seemed to have no end, as if it had directly covered half of the entire Universe Ocean.

"This is the Primal Universe, the cradle that gave birth to billions of races," Yang Yu thought to himself.

At the same time, Yang Yu could not feel the pressure of this Primal Universe at all; he only felt that the other party's Life Rank was far higher than his current level.

As we know from the Original Work, the rank of the Primal Universe was actually at the same level as that of the Void True God.

If a being born from the Primal Universe cultivates to the Eternal True God Level, then it can attempt to Will Possession the Primal Universe with its will!

Once the possession is successful, there is no longer a threshold to cultivate to the Saint Level, that is, Chaos Master.

This is why the major powers on the Origin Continent highly value geniuses who have survived reincarnation from the Primal Universe.

However, whether or not he possessed the Primal Universe was not that important to Yang Yu.

All that's needed is to resolve the World Beast Crisis and, before the end of this Reincarnation Era, travel to the depths of the Primal Universe to witness the Universe Annihilation and New Birth of the cosmos.

Yang Yu gazed at the Primal Universe while pondering these thoughts.

"Let's go."

A moment later, the Chaos City Lord teleported with Yang Yu to a Teleportation in the Void.

There were 39 twisted Space Hole around this Void, all of which were Natural Wormhole.

"There are 39 Natural Wormhole, with varying entrance sizes and connecting distances," the Chaos City Lord chuckled. "My Disciple, you should now be able to accurately identify Natural Wormhole numbered 1 through 39, right?"

"Mm." Yang Yu nodded.

The map was extremely accurate and included multiple descriptions, lest any adventurer misread it and go astray in the Universe Ocean —that would be a terrible thing.

Yang Yu immediately pointed to one of the larger, distorted Space Hole not far away, "Our route this time is to reach the Qingfeng Realm through this No. Number 15 Natural Wormhole."

"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction, and then led Yang Yu into the Number 15 Natural Wormhole.

The endless Universe Ocean is filled with Chaos Qi. However, at the level of the Universe Master, one cannot rely solely on sight. For example, the divine power that spreads out can also allow them to accurately 'see' their surroundings, and even more clearly than their eyes.

After all, divine power is the Soul Power, so it can naturally replace the eyes in observing the surroundings.

In Natural Wormhole.

The Chaos City Lord and Yang Yu Teleportation repeatedly.

Here, the limit for each Teleportation is 10,000 light-years, and the will and consciousness of the Universe Master can maintain an extremely high frequency of Teleportation.

Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two figures emerged from a Space Vortex.

"Hmm?" Yang Yu's eyes narrowed.

Not far ahead, a colossal Celestial Body, one light-year in diameter, stretched across the Void, its massive Universe Membrane Wall extending outwards, its end invisible.

However, the Universe Membrane Wall was too damaged. At a glance, Yang Yu could see hundreds of broken and irregular holes and cracks, allowing the Chaos Qi to completely pass through the Universe Ocean and the Universe Membrane Wall.

"Master, is this the reference Miniature Universe?" Yang Yu asked.

"Yes, this is one of the many landmarks along the route to the Qingfeng Realm."

"The Chaos City Lord said softly."

"If Immortal Spirit falls, his God Country become desolate and ruined. If the Universe Supreme Being falls, his Miniature Universe will naturally also fall." The Chaos City Lord looked at Yang Yu. "A strong person who cultivates to the highest peak becomes the Universe Supreme Being, and God Country that develops to the highest peak becomes Miniature Universe."

"I see." Yang Yu nodded to himself.

Although Yang Yu knew that the ultimate goal of a strong person's cultivation was far beyond simply Universe Supreme Being, this information was kept absolutely secret within the Primal Universe, known only to Yang Yu himself.

Even speaking it aloud would be blocked by the Primal Universe.

And now is not the time to say it.

The Chaos City Lord then led Yang Yu into this dilapidated Miniature Universe for a tour.

Inside, Yang Yu also witnessed the plight of a True God after his fall.

It's hard not to feel a pang of sympathy.

Perhaps this is why the Chaos City Lord personally brought Yang Yu with him this time.

The hope is that by recalling these fallen Universe Supreme Being, Yang Yu will maintain a sense of awe towards the Primal Universe and countless powerful beings.

While watching, the Chaos City Lord took the opportunity to share some common knowledge he knew with Yang Yu.

These common-sense facts include the cycle and destruction of the Primal Universe, and an overview of the three Reincarnation Era.

Although Yang Yu already knew all this, he listened quietly.

"Disciple, the Primal Universe is very mysterious, as is the Universe Ocean. My teacher, the Yuan Zu, was suppressed in the Primal Universe precisely because he was trying to find out why countless beings could not survive three Reincarnation Era reincarnation before Annihilation Mystery."

The Chaos City Lord continued on his journey with Yang Yu, while constantly talking with him.

"To date, 18,022 Miniature Universe have been discovered, and there are certainly many more that have not yet been discovered. In the endless Reincarnation Era, one can imagine how many of the Universe Supreme Being have Annihilation Mystery and perished," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

"Then, teacher, over such a long period of time, has no Universe Supreme Being been able to escape the fate of Annihilation Mystery?" Yang Yu asked.

"Haha, of course there are," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "Not only are there, but there are two!"

"The exact number of Reincarnation Era that those two Miniature Universe existed in is impossible to verify, and Miniature Universe size is also enormous," said the Chaos City Lord.

"The Universe Supreme Being known Miniature Universe universes are generally no more than 100 million light-years in diameter. But those two Miniature Universe, 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 Miniature Universe, and these two places are also known as the Holy Land Universe!"

Although he knew that one of the two Sacred Land was the Purple Moon Holy Land and the other was the East Emperor Holy Land, Yang Yu still listened attentively.

The Chaos City Lord continued:

"Three Cosmic Era and Two Great Sacred Lands —these constitute the forces within the endless Universe Ocean. Of course, each Cosmic Era is not united; just as our Third Cosmic Era is divided into nine Super Force, twelve Top Force, and so on."

"The First Cosmic Era and Second Cosmic Era were also divided into dozens of forces, making the endless Universe Ocean extremely chaotic. Any force that is not one of your own could suddenly attack you."

Next, the Chaos City Lord gave Yang Yu a detailed introduction to the two Sacred Land, the physical characteristics of some powerful individuals who frequently appear in the Universe Ocean, as well as the patterns of dangerous places and methods for avoiding them.

Yang Yu listened attentively the whole way.

This information is disorganized and fragmented.

Since it wasn't mentioned in the Original Work, Yang Yu listened very carefully and also wrote down all the information.

"This is the most comprehensive data on powerful individuals from the Primal Universe, the Second Cosmic Era before the Great Destruction, the First Cosmic Era, and the Two Great Sacred Lands."

Finally, the Chaos City Lord flipped his hand and took out a Transparent Crystal Ball that shimmered with golden light, and solemnly said...

"These are extremely important documents, collected by humanity over countless eons, some of which involve top-secret matters. Even though our Primal Universe forces exchange information, some top secrets are still being concealed. Disciple, destroy them after you've read them."

"Yes, Master!" Yang Yu respectfully accepted it. He then sent a wisp of divine power into the Transparent Crystal Ball, and in a moment he had memorized all the information.
