Moon Wheel Palace's Might!

The entire void seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand at this moment, even light beginning to twist into spirals.

"Boom—"

A soul-shaking dull thud emanated from the black hole's core—not a sound, but the wail of space itself.

A crack a million kilometers long suddenly split open the surface of the seven-hundred-billion-kilometer behemoth, and blazing white energy erupted like a volcanic explosion.

From that rift, an arm covered in black crystal armor slowly extended.

As its five fingers spread, the surrounding space spiderwebbed with cracks like glass.

Then came a second arm. Both giant hands seized the edges of the rift and pulled with sudden force.

"Rip!"

Space was torn apart by sheer strength, and a figure a million kilometers tall stepped out from the black hole.

The clone's eyes slowly opened, revealing two miniature black holes spinning within. Wherever his gaze fell, space collapsed inch by inch, forming countless tiny Space Rifts.

Immediately after, a thousand fissures split open across the black hole's surface.

One after another, million-kilometer-tall clones stepped out, each radiating a pulse that made hearts tremble.

They arrayed themselves in orderly formation.

After splitting off a thousand Divine Power clones, the black hole's main body had shrunk by less than one ten-thousandth of its volume.

At its core, the high-level origin-type treasure Star Core blazed with intense light, and combined with the Black Hole Clone's own recovery, the loss was replenished in the blink of an eye.

Yan Ning waved his hand, and over a thousand World Rings opened simultaneously.

The thousand clones turned into a black torrent, filing orderly into the rings.

When the last ring closed, the entire starry sky suddenly fell silent, leaving only the seven-hundred-billion-kilometer Black Hole Clone still slowly rotating in the void, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Looking at the thousand rings floating before him, Yan Ning's lips curled upward.

"This way, there's no risk. With this many Divine Bodies, even if I used them as bombs, I could kill anyone below Universe Master!"

"Only I and that Netherworld Lord can pull off this kind of play."

Whoosh!

Yan Ning vanished again.

He returned to the outer realm!

Standing in the cold cosmic void, Yan Ning flicked his fingertip lightly, and a crystalline, translucent moon-white crystal floated out.

The crystal was only the size of a fist, its surface flowing with watery moonlight luster, and within it, the faint outline of a miniature palace could be seen.

It was the shrunken Moon Wheel Palace.

"Moon Wheel Palace, let me take a good look at your splendor!"

With a soft shout, surging Divine Power poured into the crystal.

In an instant, the entire starry sky trembled.

"Hum—"

The moon-white crystal suddenly erupted with dazzling light, illuminating several light-years around like a supernova explosion.

Amid this brilliant radiance, a magnificent palace rapidly expanded.

The palace was entirely moon-white, its surface carved with countless profound Law Secret Patterns, each line flickering on and off like breathing.

The Moon Wheel Palace swelled with the wind, expanding to over a hundred kilometers in diameter in the blink of an eye.

Above the palace floated a giant moon, along with nine Moon Illusions, slowly rotating along some mysterious trajectory, casting cold, clear light.

Wherever this moonlight touched, space automatically condensed into crystalline barriers, enveloping the entire palace.

Yan Ning surveyed this high-level palace-type treasure with satisfaction.

Its defensive power was enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Universe Master.

More importantly, the Moon Wheel Palace came with a "Moon Shadow" function, allowing it to perfectly conceal its presence—unless a Universe Master came in person, or a powerful Universe Most Powerful, it would be completely undetectable.

"Time to set out."

His form flickered, and he appeared directly in the main hall of the Moon Wheel Palace.

The space inside was far more vast than the exterior suggested—spanning tens of thousands of kilometers within.

He infused Divine Power, activating the secret script.

"Moon Shadow."

The Law Secret Patterns on the Moon Wheel Palace's surface suddenly rearranged themselves, and the entire palace gradually turned transparent, eventually vanishing completely against the cosmic backdrop.

Not only that, but all traces that could reveal its location—spatial fluctuations, energy radiation, everything—were perfectly concealed.

"Now then, let me see the full speed of a high-level palace-type treasure!"

Divine Power burned!

Boom!!

Endless Divine Power erupted into flames, pouring violently into the Moon Wheel Palace!!

In an instant, the Moon Wheel Palace vanished from its spot.

It wasn't truly gone—rather, its speed was so immense that it reached light speed in a single moment and entered the Dark Universe!

Ten times light speed, a hundred times light speed, a thousand times light speed!

Still accelerating, still accelerating!

Yan Ning grew more and more excited!

Fast, too fast!

An F-class spaceship—no, any spaceship at all could never reach this speed!!

Under full combustion, the Moon Wheel Palace's speed quickly surpassed ten thousand times light speed, and it was still climbing!

Yan Ning wanted to see his limit!

His Divine Body stood over five thousand meters tall!

Burning at full power, it drained rapidly, but fortunately, he couldn't care less about mere Divine Power.

Soon, the Moon Wheel Palace's speed reached a hundred thousand times light speed.

And then it hit the limit.

With his current true body, the fastest his Divine Power could burn was only this speed!

But he could sense that this was merely the limit of his Divine Power combustion, not the limit of the Moon Wheel Palace!

Yan Ning's eyes blazed with dazzling divine light, the corners of his mouth lifting involuntarily, his chest surging with excitement he could barely contain.

This sensation of surpassing limits made his entire body tremble, every cell cheering and leaping.

He felt the violent energy of the Moon Wheel Palace tearing through the Dark Universe, that sense of freedom as if breaking free from the universe's shackles, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Exhilarating! This is what real speed means!"

His laughter echoed through the empty main hall of the Moon Wheel Palace.

As a transmigrator, this ultimate experience of transcending physical laws was simply too satisfying.

Any spaceship or sports car was utterly outclassed.

He was playing with supreme treasures now.

But soon, rational thought took over.

Yan Ning took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He carefully perceived the rate of Divine Power consumption, his brow furrowing slightly.

"A hundred thousand times light speed is indeed astonishing, but the rate of Divine Power combustion is also too extreme."

He calculated silently.

"At this consumption, my own Divine Body won't last long."

His gaze swept over the thousand or so World Rings floating around him, each sealing a Divine Power clone a million kilometers tall. Though his reserves were ample, there was no need to squander them like this.

"Ten thousand times light speed offers the best cost-benefit ratio."

After precise calculations, Yan Ning reached his conclusion.

"It ensures speed while keeping Divine Power consumption within an acceptable range."

"From here to the Falling Cloud Secret Realm, the straight-line distance will take about a hundred years."

Yan Ning stroked his chin, pondering.

"This time can be used to comprehend the Beast God Path."

With a thought, the internal space of the Moon Wheel Palace began to reconfigure.

A cultivation platform rose from one side of the main hall.

He sat cross-legged on it and began to cultivate.

Those alien races should still need some time to discover he had left the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

Even if they knew he had left, they probably couldn't pinpoint his location.

A hundred years passed like a fleeting moment, vanishing in the blink of an eye during cultivation.

Yan Ning awakened from his deep cultivation.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in his pupils, secret patterns of flame and space law intertwined for a fleeting instant before disappearing.

"Arrived?"

Standing up, he looked out through the Moon Wheel Palace, his brow slightly furrowed.

This stretch of starry sky before him was eerily calm—no abnormal energy fluctuations, no spatial distortions, not even a decent star, only a few lonely rogue planets drifting in the darkness.

"The coordinates given by the system are right here."

He carefully decelerated the Moon Wheel Palace, eventually bringing it to a complete halt in the void.

The nine moon illusions atop the palace lit up simultaneously, casting cold probing light waves that scanned every inch of space within several light-years.

"Strange."

Yan Ning tapped his fingers on the armrest, sinking into thought.

Logically, a secret realm singled out as a mission by the system shouldn't be this ordinary. Unless...

"Unless the entrance to the secret realm is deliberately hidden by some force! Or perhaps I haven't found it—this secret realm is a hidden one!"

With that thought, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Yan Ning took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and sank his entire mind into his sea of consciousness.

His divine sense surged out from his body like a tide, transforming into billions of invisible threads that spread in all directions.

"Since the detector is useless, I'll use the most primitive method."

Each thread of divine sense carried a sliver of his awareness, like countless tiny probes, carefully sensing the subtle changes in every inch of surrounding space.

This method of searching was time-consuming and exhausting, but it had the advantage of not being fooled by any camouflage.

Time passed in silence.

On the first day, his divine sense covered a radius of a million kilometers, finding nothing.

On the third day, the search range expanded to ten million kilometers, still yielding nothing.

On the seventh day, as his divine sense swept over a seemingly ordinary patch of void, he suddenly caught an extremely faint fluctuation—it vanished as quickly as a dragonfly skimming water, yet it made Yan Ning's entire body jolt.

"Found it. There's something strange here!"

He immediately withdrew his divine sense from all other directions, concentrating it entirely on this area.

This kind of focused search placed an immense strain on his mental energy.

His divine sense combed through this patch of void like a fine-toothed comb, over and over again.

Finally, on the thirty-seventh scan, he caught that fluctuation once more. This time it was clearer, like a hidden whirlpool beneath a calm lake's surface.

"Right here!"

Yan Ning's eyes snapped open. With a flicker, his form appeared at the source of the fluctuation.

To the naked eye, there was nothing here—it was indistinguishable from the surrounding starry sky.

But he knew the secret lay hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary surface.

He extended his right hand, palm facing downward, and slowly released a strand of Divine Power infused with the Fire-Void Law.

The Divine Power flowed through the void like water, tracing out a blurry outline—a circular area about a kilometer in diameter, its edges marked by an extremely subtle distortion in spatial structure.

"Just as I thought."

A faint smile tugged at Yan Ning's lips. This level of distortion was undetectable by ordinary probing methods. Even a Universe Venerable would overlook it without deliberate effort.

Only someone like him, scanning inch by inch with divine sense, could possibly notice it.

But who would bother to probe the universe so meticulously for no reason?

He leaned down, pressing his palm gently against the invisible boundary.

The sensation was peculiar—like pressing against a highly elastic membrane, neither fully solid nor purely void.

"So the entrance to the secret realm is here. How do I open it?"

Yan Ning sank into thought.

He tried increasing his Divine Power output, but the membrane merely dented slightly before snapping back. He attempted to use spatial laws to break through, only to find the spatial structure here unusually stable—forcing a breach might trigger unpredictable consequences.

Just as he was at a loss, the Chaos Bell within his body gave a faint tremor.

Sensing its master's intent, the Chaos Bell within him began to emit a low hum.

The sound seemed to traverse the ages, carrying the supreme authority to suppress the heavens.

Right, the Chaos Bell!

The Chaos Bell possessed the power to control the time and space of all realms, to suppress earth, water, fire, and wind!

A mere secret realm gate was nothing!

"Chaos Bell, I'm counting on you this time."

With those words, he closed his eyes briefly. The next moment, the Chaos Bell flew out from between his brows and landed in his palm.

Huum!

His body began to expand. In an instant, his original five-kilometer-tall Divine Body revealed its true form.

The five-kilometer-tall Divine Body suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine radiance.

Every inch of his skin lit up with profound Law Secret Patterns—the manifestation of the Fire-Void Fusion Law pushed to its extreme.

Divine Power surged within his body like a raging sea, roaring through his meridians like thunder.

"Divine Power, ignite!"

With a thunderous roar, Yan Ning's right arm bulged with knotted muscles and protruding veins.

The Chaos Bell in his palm abruptly swelled, transforming into a colossal bell ten thousand meters tall.

The ancient inscriptions on the bell's surface lit up one by one, each rune brimming with the power to split heaven and earth.

Phantoms of sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers emerged on the bell's body, as if it bore an entire universe within.

Yan Ning slammed his palm fiercely against the body of the Chaos Bell.

"Dong—"

The moment the bell's sound rang out, the entire starfield trembled.

Visible sound wave ripples spread outward from the Chaos Bell.

Wherever they passed, time froze and space solidified.

Several wandering planets in the distance instantly halted, their rotation ceasing entirely.

The floating cosmic dust solidified in place on the spot.

His Divine Body consumed a full ninety percent in that single instant!

But the next second, it was restored as if nothing had happened.

The backup power source within the World Ring began to show its effect.

Yan Ning clearly saw that when the bell's sound waves swept over the hidden spatial barrier, the originally invisible barrier suddenly manifested—a translucent silver light membrane covered in arcane secret scripts.

At this moment, those secret scripts flickered wildly, struggling to resist the Chaos Bell's might.

"Crack... crackle..."

Faint sounds of shattering arose.

Spiderweb-like fissures began to spread across the silver light membrane, and the secret scripts extinguished one after another.

Yan Ning could sense that this barrier contained extremely profound spatial laws, even tinged with a trace of temporal law power.

If an ordinary Universe Venerable had come here, they likely wouldn't have even detected it, let alone broken through it.

But what kind of supreme treasure was the Chaos Bell?

"Boom!"

With a deafening, earth-shattering roar, the silver light membrane finally gave way, collapsing like a shattered mirror!

Countless spatial fragments scattered in all directions, carving pitch-black trails through the void. Behind the broken space, a massive vortex over ten thousand kilometers in diameter was revealed, with chaotic currents churning within, and the faint outline of a mysterious world visible.

"Hahaha, it's open!"
