In a boundless sea of stars.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
An immense expanse of palace buildings, covered by a layer of restrictive barrier, hurtled through the Boundless Star Sea.
As the True Immortal Palace charged forward, layer after layer of its buildings crumbled and scattered, its size shrinking ever smaller!!
The True Immortal Palace had been flying for decades. Compared to when it had flown out of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, it had shrunk to a fraction of its original size, yet it remained a colossal behemoth, fully a million miles long and hundreds of thousands of miles wide...
Most of the True Immortal Palace's true core was now exposed. Astonishingly, it resembled a giant bird with its enormous wings spread.
As it flew, it whipped up an immense, flattened spatial storm, its force making the endless starry sky twist and shudder!!
Yet as the True Immortal Palace continued flying, parts of it still crumbled and shattered, gradually exposing enormous passageways where space trembled and erupted with astonishing, suffocating gusts of storm wind.
As the True Immortal Palace flew through the boundless sea of stars, having traveled who knew how far, an unimaginably vast, pitch-black shadow hung in the void ahead, swirling around a terrifying black hole tens of millions of miles across...
The True Immortal Palace was already enormous, but beside that incomparably vast, terrifying black hole, it was like an ant beside an elephant.
The True Immortal Palace suddenly accelerated and charged into that immense black hole. Storms of spatial rifts immediately battered it, unleashing earth-shaking booms and explosions. The entire True Immortal Palace rocked and tumbled like a little boat in a tempest, seemingly ready to collapse or capsize at any moment!
Just then...
Hum!!!
A ring of radiant, rippling spatial spirit light spread through the air.
