The Price of Freedom!

Wow~~~

Space distorted into a passageway that ran through the silvery-white vortex.

Zhou Hao, Dharma Body golden robes, flew side by side with Supreme Ekong and Supreme Bolin within the spatial passage.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

A terrifying destructive force crashed into the spatial passage, each impact no less powerful than a full-force attack from the Sith Clan Lord Master.

However, this spatial passage was created under Zhou Hao's control. With his eternal-level 'ultimate spatial path,' even the Supreme of Mogu, who mastered the ' Origin of Myriad Dao Space,' would have to admit defeat. Naturally, it stably withstood all impacts.

"We're almost there." As the enormous nest-like celestial body drew ever closer, the eyes of the Supreme Ekong gradually brightened.

The surface of the nest-like celestial body is riddled with countless holes, dark and bottomless, and the faintly visible secret patterns are filled with an aura of destruction.

It was an extremely pure aura, an ultimate aura that sought to destroy and devour everything.

Although he only sensed a tiny fraction of it, Supreme Ekong knew that this enormous weapon of war was far superior to him in terms of Path of Destruction.

"Could it have been crafted by that Sith Clan Universe Controller?"

He had already reached the realm of ' the Origin of Ten Thousand Destructions,' which was even higher than his own realm. The only one that Supreme Ekong could think of was that Universe Controller.

"Not necessarily. Perhaps it's the Sith Clan leader who has come to invade our universe," said the Supreme Bolin.

After all, that controller is already an invincible being, and possesses the resources of an entire Chaos Universe. Even if he were to invade and seize the cultivator's Chaos Universe, it would only have a limited impact on his strength.

Therefore, Supreme Hongran and the others had always suspected that behind the invading Sith Clan Lord Master, there should be an even more powerful leader, most likely an existence that had reached the ' Ultimate Supreme ' level.

"Who cares who crafted it? It's all meant to be used against us anyway. Let's investigate first and figure out a way to break it." Zhou Hao manipulated the spatial passage, bringing the two Supreme Beings' Dharma Body with him, and they descended together onto the surface of the Nest Celestial Body.

The remaining spatial energy enveloped the three of them, forming a transparent light shield around them, isolating them from the fierce strangulation forces on the surface of the nest celestial body.

"Truly magnificent."

"Inconceivable."

The three stood on the cold, celestial nest, surrounded by dark, intricate patterns.

Occasionally, in some areas, silvery-white energy condensed within the black runes, but due to its profound complexity, the three of them couldn't discern anything about it.

Besides the countless secret patterns, the most eye-catching thing is the dense array of holes.

These holes range in size from trillions of miles in diameter to a mere Baili in diameter.

Without exception, the cosmic energy that devours and destroys is drawn into the interior of the nesting celestial body through these holes.

"We can't tell anything from the surface; it seems we'll have to go inside the hole to take a look," Zhou Hao said.

"I sensed with my escape technique that the interior of this nest is not a solid whole, so my escape technique is useless," said Supreme Ekong.

"Then let's go in." Supreme Bolin nodded. "The energy it devours enters its interior and will eventually converge at its own energy source. If we follow the opening, we'll surely find it."

They all knew it was dangerous inside.

But those holes are like dark abysses, devouring all power. Whether it's divine sense or projection of the Heart World, they will be immediately swallowed up. Only by entering them in person can one see for oneself.

"This one will do." Zhou Hao selected a hole with a diameter of only a few hundred million miles and went above the hole.

These types of holes are extremely common in nest-like celestial bodies, appearing in countless quantities.

The three looked down and saw the hole's violent, sucking force constantly roaring and devouring everything, not even light could escape, leaving them with only darkness in their eyes.

"It's in."

Zhou Hao stopped resisting the suction force of the hole, and the three of them were instantly sucked into the dark abyss.

call.

Three figures plummeted downwards, their speed exceeding that of an ordinary Dominator flying at full speed.

After a full half-cup of tea time, the three of them suddenly felt a bright light before their eyes, and the absorbing power that had enveloped them vanished Shadowless.

"What's this?" Zhou Hao looked around.

At first glance, what appears to be floating around are spherical spacetimes.

Each spacetime has a diameter ranging from hundreds of millions of miles to only tens of thousands of miles.

Each spherical spacetime is like a balloon, suspended on either side of the abyss, pulling each other together to form a vast power.

"So many spacetimes? Could it be that all the cosmic energy we absorbed has entered these spacetimes?" Supreme Ekong wondered. "I'll try breaking through one."

Be careful.

They came here to destroy this nest celestial body, and Zhou Hao and Supreme Bolin naturally wouldn't stop them.

"Break."

With a loud shout, the Supreme Ekong swung his Giant Axe, creating a massive, dark axe shadow in the air.

The overwhelming destructive force struck a spherical spacetime in the distance.

Pfft~~~

That space-time spanning approximately ten million miles trembled and then truly burst open like a balloon, leaving nothing inside.

Immediately afterwards, a new spherical spacetime inexplicably emerged in the void not far away.

It still covers an area of nearly ten million miles.

The strangest thing is that neither the destruction of spacetime nor the birth of spacetime occurred without any leakage of energy.

The whole process seemed so natural, yet inexplicably eerie.

"Destroy one, and another will spring up?" Supreme Ekong exclaimed in astonishment. "Just those we can see at a glance number in the millions. Within the entire Nest Celestial Realm, the number of spacetimes is countless..."

"Let's go all out and see if we can completely destroy these spacetimes," Zhou Hao said.

"Alright." Supreme Bolin nodded as well.

With their perspective, they could immediately see that these countless interconnected spaces and times were an important tool capable of devouring and absorbing endless power from the outside world.

Destroying just one spacetime will immediately give birth to a new one. However, if too many spacetimes are destroyed, the instantaneous attack may reach the critical point that these spacetimes can withstand, and other changes may occur.

"Destroy!" Zhou Hao's eyes narrowed, and he concentrated his divine power at his fingertips, pointing forward.

"Rumble~~~"

The immense power created a visible spatial impact, rolling forward like a tidal wave, crushing everything in its path and instantly destroying tens of thousands of spaces.

Both the Supreme Ekong and the Supreme Bolin revealed six arms each, one wielding three Giant Axe axes and the other with six claw-like hands, launching a relentless and unrestrained attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The three of them joined forces, flying downwards and relentlessly crushing and destroying everything in their path; with each breath, tens of thousands of units of spacetime were shattered...

But.

The countless spherical spaces within this abyss are like a vast ocean. Just as countless bubbles appear when the ocean waves roll, countless spaces are born when the endless void here ripples slightly.

For every number Zhou Hao and his group destroyed, just as many were created in the void, their speed showing no sign of slowing down.

"Stop," Zhou Hao said.

"Why stop?" Supreme Ekong looked at Zhou Hao with a puzzled expression. "Even if it keeps recovering and generating new spacetime, there must be some consumption involved. If we continue, perhaps it will have a miraculous effect."

"It's useless." Zhou Hao shook his head. "After the spacetime is destroyed, all the power is still absorbed by the nest celestial body, and then a new spacetime is born. One destruction, one birth... this nest celestial body doesn't lose a single bit of power."

"This vast array of time and space must be a profound and mysterious formation. We cannot see through its true nature. Even if all of us Supreme gathered together, we might not be able to break it by force," said Supreme Bolin.

"What should we do then?" Supreme Ekong exclaimed in surprise.

He is more adept at destructive attacks, but his knowledge of energy sensing and formations is much weaker compared to Zhou Hao and Supreme Bolin.

"The Nest Celestial Body is comparable to a domain. To break through such a massive formation, even hundreds or thousands of Chaos Eras might not be enough..." Zhou Hao pondered for a moment. "Let's ignore these spatial and temporal issues for now. Let's find the Nest Celestial Body's energy source. As long as we can destroy its source, it's finished."

"Do you know where the energy source is?" Supreme Bolin asked.

Although they had entered the interior of the nest-like celestial body, they could no longer sense any energy being absorbed. Their previous idea of finding the core source of the nest-like celestial body by following the absorbed cosmic energy was simply impossible to implement.

"Although I can't be sure, I just observed the birth of spacetime from its destruction and discovered a location that should be a key site for the nest celestial body," Zhou Hao said.

It should be noted that he has been meditating on the origin of the universe for nearly fifty chaotic eras, and his true self has also attempted to imitate the structure within his own Small Universe, reaching an incredible level in deduction, formations, and other aspects of the Dao.

In reality, formations are nothing more than methods of utilizing energy based on the workings of the universe.

When one does not understand the underlying principles, it appears profound and unfathomable.

Once you understand the essence, it's like having a formula to solve a problem; it's actually not that difficult.

However, the array within the Nest of Heavens was too vast, and the manipulation of its energy was far more obscure and complex. Furthermore, the deliberate concealment by those who created and set up the array made it extremely difficult to completely decipher. But finding one or two key points to disrupt was quite simple for Zhou Hao.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The three of them traveled through time and space time and time again, getting closer and closer to the location that Zhou Hao had discovered.

suddenly--

"Splash~~"

A massive, fiery red tail tore through space and time, sweeping towards Zhou Hao and his companions almost instantly.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao frowned, and the void in front of him twisted and folded, forming an invisible giant hand that crushed down.

BOOM!!!

A deafening roar.

Zhou Hao felt a powerful force penetrate the barrier of time and space, causing him to involuntarily take a step back.

"Such powerful strength." Zhou Hao was somewhat surprised.

Although its fiery red tail's lashes were clumsy, the power it contained was terrifying.

According to his estimation, the sheer power of that tail lash just now surpassed that of Supreme cultivators.

Even his strongest self, in terms of sheer power, is inferior.

"Roar~~~" A powerful voice rapidly approached.

Zhou Hao, Bolin, Ekong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a towering figure, like High Mountain, appear in the distant void.

It stood upright, resembling a human figure. Its entire body was covered in fiery red scales, and its surface was scorched by flames.

Its slightly slender upper limbs are equipped with a pair of incredibly sharp claws. Its reversible lower limbs are exceptionally thick, and it also has a tail that is twice the length of its entire body!

"Such a powerful Strange Lifeform," Supreme Ekong immediately transmitted his voice. "This Strange Lifeform should be Supreme- level Strange Lifeform."

"Yes, it's very strong. Remember to watch out for its tail," Zhou Hao also reminded them telepathically.

Among the Strange Lifeform in the Cultivator Universe, the strongest are only at the level of Dominator or the Lord of Alien Universe. However, in the vast and Endless Space outside the Chaos Universe, there are Strange Lifeform that are born at the level of Supreme.

These Strange Lifeform are extremely rare and hard to come by; they are like overlords in the Endless Space.

I never expected that this nest of heaven would contain such a thing.

"One, two, three..." The Strange Lifeform, High Mountain- like being sized up Zhou Hao and the others. "Wow, great! Three cultivator leaders, just enough for us to share!"

"What's enough to go around?" Zhou Hao and the others were a little puzzled.

Just then--

Boom! Boom!

Two other violent forces traversed time and space and also arrived in this void.

Zhou Hao and the other two all changed their expressions slightly and turned to look. There were also two Strange Lifeform with enormous bodies.

A Strange Lifeform was a tall, thin humanoid, covered in thick hair, with only one One-Eye and one mouth on its head.

The other was Strange Lifeform resembling Dragon Turtle, and also the largest of the three Strange Lifeform.

Their aura was comparable to that of the High Mountain monsters, clearly indicating that they were also Supreme- level Strange Lifeform from the Endless Space.

"Damn it, Iyer wasn't lying to us. There really are three leaders of cultivators coming in." The first High Mountain creature to appear seemed quite happy.

"Then each of you choose one." The One-Eye, thin, one-eyed creature squinted, coldly surveying Zhou Hao and the others. "I'm getting restless in this universe. Let's kill them quickly and return to the Endless Space."

"I want the one with the axe." The creature, resembling Dragon Turtle, boomed, its gaze fixed unabashedly on Supreme Ekong.

"I want the one that also uses claws," the High Mountain creature immediately added.

"No." The tall, thin, One-Eye creature's voice was shrill. "High Mountain, you've already fought that leader of the cultivators in golden robes. He's your opponent."

"I only intervened to stop them, I didn't choose my opponents." Flames rolled across the scales of the High Mountain creature's body, clearly indicating its anger. "If I hadn't stopped them, would you two have been able to catch up? I should have been the one choosing my opponents first."

In the previous exchange with the leader of the golden-robed cultivators, his strongest attack, a sneak attack with his tail, only managed to shatter the opponent's spatial hand without causing any damage.

It's not stupid; why would it choose such a powerful opponent?

"What's there to argue about? Let's join forces and eliminate those three cultivator leaders," the Dragon Turtle creature said discontentedly. "If the Sith Clan are going to let us leave, they'll let us all go together. Do you think you can leave without killing at least three of them?"

The three Supreme beings conversed with each other, their voices booming and making no attempt to conceal their presence.

Zhou Hao and the other two looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

So the Sith Clan used us as Strange Lifeform forms in exchange for their freedom?
