Chapter 2356: Endless Ocean!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Rumble! Stellar Energy surged out of Li Xuantu’s body, Halos of Spacetime rippling out from his feet with a metallic clatter.
This wasn’t the group’s first time facing Heaven, but this time, Heaven had the Celestial Palace. This battle was going to be far more difficult than any other.
On the other side, Wang Chong also began to tense, his hair and clothes flapping as if they were being tossed about by the wind.
Heaven had yet to arrive, but that terrifying pressure was already weighing down on their bodies.
There was no escape in the Celestial Palace, and Heaven could extract energy from the Celestial Palace whenever he needed.
Just when Li Xuantu was ready for the fight of his life, Wang Chong spoke, a bright light in his eyes.
“Follow me!”
Bang!
Before Li Xuantu could react, a silver wave of Stellar Energy emerged from Wang Chong and engulfed him.
Behind them, a seething dark cloud had appeared in the sky, and Heaven’s terrifying energy was about to arrive. Thump! Wang Chong suddenly placed his hand on the golden barrier.
Buzz!
At that moment, something unbelievable happened.
Not only was there no repulsive force, the seal actually began to pull Wang Chong inside.
Within Wang Chong’s protective barrier, Li Xuantu had wanted to warn Wang Chong, but he was left dumbfounded by this sight. He immediately gave up on resistance and allowed that pull to bring him and Wang Chong inside.
At the moment they entered the barrier, boom! Heaven’s attack finally arrived, slamming into the barrier with a thunderous boom, but the barrier’s enormous power succeeded in stopping it.
On the other end, Wang Chong and Li Xuantu flew through the barrier, and after what seemed like a second and like countless epochs, splash! They felt their bodies lighten up, and they crashed into an ocean.
Wang Chong had been completely focused on the possibility of Heaven’s pursuit, but now that he sensed the changing situation, he couldn’t help but turn all his attention to what was in front of him.
Waves!
Endless waves!
This is…
Wang Chong was flabbergasted by what he was seeing.
All around him was dark ocean water, the depths impossible to fathom. Wang Chong couldn’t even tell where in this ocean he was.
The Celestial Palace’s first three regions had all been rather similar, basically dazzling buildings and open plazas shrouded with lingering mists.
For these reasons, Wang Chong and Li Xuantu had never imagined that they would run into an ocean in the core of the Celestial Palace.
“That’s rather strange. This place seems to be its own dimension!” At this moment, a voice mentally rang out in Wang Chong’s mind. With ocean water around them, it was impossible to clearly make out other voices, so Li Xuantu mentally communicated with Wang Chong.
Just like Wang Chong, Li Xuantu was also examining his surroundings.
This place was far too bizarre. Before coming in, they had had all sorts of ideas of what they might find, but they had not expected this mysterious ocean.
Moreover, this region seemed to be even larger than they had imagined, its size far greater than the other three regions.
“Be careful! This place is brimming with intense chaotic energy. Some extremely fierce battle must have taken place here. Don’t let your guard down!” Wang Chong replied as he inspected the area.
This dimension felt extremely disorderly to Wang Chong, packed with dark, violent, and destructive energy. This unknown ocean before him was extremely turbulent, waters surging around him as if there were countless currents going back and forth.
Moreover, the lighting was so dim that even Wang Chong could only see eighty meters away at most.
The two of them heightened their vigilance, unleashed Stellar Energy to protect their bodies, and slowly advanced.
They were in unknown territory, and the two of them needed to gather more information before deciding on what to do next.
More importantly, they were disoriented by their abrupt appearance in this dimension, and the two of them couldn’t even tell where the Celestial Palace’s core was.
The ocean water pressed in on them from all sides as they advanced.
After around five minutes, they finally stopped.
“Incredible. This definitely wasn’t built by Heaven. Who could have possessed such divine abilities that they could open up such a massive world in the Celestial Palace’s core?”
Li Xuantu once more looked around him.
This was the core of the Celestial Palace, and no one would create such a world in their own base. There was no meaning to it.
“In addition, do you recall what happened to Heaven’s attack as we passed through the barrier? Heaven’s power was completely stopped by the barrier, but if Heaven had created this world, that barrier should have been useless. I even suspect that the barrier wasn’t set up by Heaven in the first place!”
It sounded absurd, but Li Xuantu felt more and more confident that this was correct.
“Then, given Heaven’s cultivation, who could have been able to set up another world in the core of his Celestial Palace?” Wang Chong said.
“This…”
Li Xuantu was momentarily speechless.
They both understood how immensely powerful Heaven was, and in the Celestial Palace, he would only be stronger. Any dimension opened up in here would be rejected by the Celestial Palace.
Even though the two of them stood at the top of the world’s experts, they did not dare to say that they were capable of such a feat.
If such a person really did exist, that person had to have unfathomable strength.
Wang Chong paused a moment before adding, “I’m not saying that your conjecture is wrong, but we need to gather more information first.”
The lives of the millions of people in the capital were at stake, and the Celestial Palace’s core was a very dangerous place, so Wang Chong did not dare to be careless.
Moreover, this ocean was very strange. Though they called it an ocean, they had not encountered a single fish.
“What do we do now?” Li Xuantu sternly said.
After a few moments of silence, Wang Chong said, “Leave this place. Find either the surface or the edge.”
An ocean would have a surface, and even if this dimension was different than what they imagined and entirely full of water, they just needed to travel in one direction to find the edge of this world. Once they got there, they would be able to gather much more information, after which they could determine their next steps.
Bang!
As Wang Chong spoke, a massive Halo of Spacetime appeared at his feet. Wang Chong used its power to shoot upward, slicing through the water like an arrow.
Behind him, Li Xuantu swiftly followed.
This ocean was much deeper than they had initially imagined. Wang Chong was constantly accelerating as he flew upward, and after some time, boom! The water suddenly disappeared, and Wang Chong and Li Xuantu exploded out of the ocean like cannonballs.
Finally out!
As he felt the world open up around him, Wang Chong’s heart relaxed.
As long as the water wasn’t endless, completely filling the entire world, then they just needed to find the surface to make things much easier for them.
Kacrack!
But before Wang Chong could completely relax, he heard a boom of thunder above him.
Taken aback, Wang Chong looked up in time to see a dazzling bolt of lightning cleaving across the sky like a giant axe.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A second, third, fourth… One lightning bolt after another crashed down from the clouds.
Li Xuantu was also struck dumb by this sight.
This was a dimension of lightning!
There was no sun or moon in this world, only endless lightning. This lightning served as the only source of light in the world.
Bang!
A moment later, while Li Xuantu was still immersed in shock, Wang Chong shot into the air.
“In the name of the Archon of Destiny, access the highest level of privilege!
“True World!”
High in the sky, Wang Chong immediately used the strongest ability of the Stone of Destiny.
The world in front of Wang Chong transformed, and the enormous interference of the Celestial Palace was mostly neutralized.
Looking up, Wang Chong saw that the sky had turned white, and all the thunderclouds had disappeared. The lightning that filled this dimension was clearly traced out before Wang Chong’s eyes.
Wang Chong could even see how these lightning bolts gathered together and dissipated, how the lightning flowed like streams of water.
A few moments later, Wang Chong detected something strange about the lightning.
“Found it!”
On the edge of this world, he found that all the lightning in the sky originated from six different locations.
Slowly moving his eyes around, following the energy trails of the lightning, Wang Chong pierced through all hindrances and saw a giant silver pillar at the border of this ocean.
No—not just one!
Six giant silver pillars had been evenly distributed on the edges of this world, the energy surging out from them creating this world of thunderclouds.
Moreover, through the power of the Archon of Destiny, Wang Chong could feel extremely powerful energy and spatial ripples radiating from these six pillars.
The six pillars were like six pegs nailed into the six corners of this world, serving as the foundation that maintained its existence.
Even though Wang Chong had seen many things and had long ago surpassed his cultivation level from his last life, he had never seen a spatial framework like this.
“How was it?” Li Xuantu asked, having appeared at Wang Chong’s side at some point.
Wang Chong said nothing, simply sharing his vision with Li Xuantu.
