The Hive Universe

The second honeycomb cosmos was ultimately destroyed as well.

But it did not die of old age. Rather, some powerful being was born within that cosmos and attempted to transcend it. In the end, gathering the strength of all life, it swung an axe at the spatial force balancing the entire astral realm, like Pangu splitting open heaven and earth.

That single axe blow shattered the cosmos and annihilated all living beings.

The honeycomb phantom likewise perished.

Yet the one who shattered it failed to leave this place and died along with it.

Ning Ye then created a third honeycomb universe.

But this time, it was different again.

It was neither a spiritual-energy universe nor one whose power rested entirely upon spatial laws, but a universe devoted purely to body cultivation.

The immense mass meant that every life born within this honeycomb universe possessed formidable vital energy, achieving everything through the flesh alone.

Even a life-form no larger than a palm possessed the power to shatter all things.

Yet in the end, this cosmos was also destroyed by the being that had embarked upon the ultimate path of body cultivation.

It was somewhat like the Limitless Dao Master. But the Limitless Dao Master had his limits and could not devour an entire cosmos, whereas Ning Ye's little world was successfully devoured by that being.

After successfully devouring it, this life-form was rather like Pangu, looking around in every direction—he could not see Ning Ye or Starwatcher, for beyond the honeycomb lay the isolated void Ning Ye and the others had created. To this mighty being, which had swallowed its entire "universe," that isolated void was so vast that he could not cross it at all.

Thus, he fell. His body returned to the world, becoming dust; his bones became mountains,
