Chapter 3003 - Abyss of Darkness
Both of them seemed like miniature starry giants.
"So, in fact, the Myriadpath Celestial Formation is in principle not instantaneous teleportation through s.p.a.ce, but the fragmentation of a person into astrons that undergo rapid pulling and transportation in order to achieve a speed beyond the limit," Tianming said, feeling shaken. The principle was even more astonis.h.i.+ng, in truth.
"s.p.a.ce is so vast, how could there be instantaneous teleportation? Fragmenting a person into astrons is the truth," Li Fan"s voice became increasingly faint. In the end, he seemed to be laughing as he said, "I forgot to tell you, during the process of transmission, because your body is being pulled apart, you’ll experience death. In reality, you’ll truly die for a moment. It"s a strange feeling, but also very brief, so be mentally prepared. No matter how long the interstellar transfer takes, you"re only "dead" for an instant."
"What?" Just as Tianming understood his words, the feeling of "death" descended upon him. He suddenly felt that the power controlling all the astrons in his body spiked and reached a terrifying level as he was instantly torn apart into his base astrons.
"I died?" The entire process, even the intense pain, only lasted for an instant. Tianming felt like he had been killed by a supreme ruler. His consciousness vanished, completely obliterated. There was no h.e.l.l. Death was simply... nothing.
The next moment, Tianming felt himself coming back to life.
The entire process was very quick. He hadn"t even reacted yet before his body was rea.s.sembled and everything returned to normal. He widened his eyes and panted, his mind blank.
"You feel like only a moment has pa.s.sed, right? In fact, it"s been more than ten days," Li Fan"s voice came from beside him.
Tianming quickly looked over and saw Li Fan s.h.i.+ning with starlight. The starlight gradually dissipated, revealing his orange hair and orange eyes. In contrast to Tianming"s horror, he remained calm.
"You"re saying that although it felt like just a moment, it"s actually been more than ten days?" Tianming asked in astonishment.
"Yes! You"ve been dead for more than ten days," Li Fan said.
"Then... what about the lifebound beasts in the lifebound s.p.a.ce?" Tianming looked inside, where both Yin Chen and the sleeping Ji Ji were still there, ready to come out at any time.
"As long as they’re in a lifebound s.p.a.ce, the Myriadpath Celestial Formation doesn"t need to pull lifebound beasts," Li Fan explained.
"Why?"
"It"s said that it’s because the lifebound s.p.a.ce is a special s.p.a.ce. It doesn"t actually exist inside anyone’s body, so no matter where you move in an instant, as long as you"re alive, you can bring them to your side from the lifebound s.p.a.ce. Of course, if they come out and follow you into the stareye, they’ll also experience death," Li Fan explained very straightforwardly.
Ying Huo and the rest that were fused with Tianming"s body were screeching and yelling. They had also experienced the process of death. It was only Yin Chen, still inside Tianming’s lifebound s.p.a.ce, that had spent a boring ten days.
"It was... dark for... so long!" Yin Chen exclaimed.
"I see!" Tianming had a new understanding of the lifebound s.p.a.ce. Only at that moment did his heart finally ease.
"Have we arrived at Myriadpath Valley?" he muttered to himself, looking up. It was truly fast. It also indicated that it would be quick for him to return to the Infinitum Mundus. Myriadpath Valley was so very far away, yet close at the same time!
"That"s right, we"ve arrived at Myriadpath Valley. Look!" Li Fan still had a sense of superiority in the end. After all, he was a member of the convergence point of a million mundi.
Tianming was overwhelmed by the starlight in his surroundings. He looked around. He was currently at the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. The huge eight-trigram diagram was composed of ten thousand tightly cl.u.s.tered skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds. Countless divine patterns, like divine dragons, locked down all the nova sources!
The formation flashed again and again, each flash representing a Myriadpath Valley powerhouse leaving or returning.
"The Myriadpath Celestial Formation is truly miraculous!" Tianming was shocked after seeing it with his own eyes. Each of these skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds was already quite enormous for mortals. They were like furnaces as they crackled with raw power. It was these very same skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds that had shattered and pulled him to them.
"It"s like a heart, and we"re the blood, pushed to each stareye relay, then pulled back. It completes an endless transfer through the starry sky. How far the journey is? Not even an infinitum-cla.s.s astrals.h.i.+p would be able to give an answer," Li Fan said.
"But when you first arrived in the Skydome Mundus, you still relied on astrals.h.i.+ps, right?" Tianming asked.
"Yes! So, the pioneers that expanded our territory are worthy of respect! Now, to be blunt, wherever the stareye exists, there lies the territory of Myriadpath Valley. Among them, the first Valley Lord of Myriadpath Valley definitely made immeasurable contributions," Li Fan exclaimed.
Tianming knew who he was talking about. A sacredfiend skyghoul, just like Zi Zhen!
"Skydome and the Infinitum Mundus are neighbors but Meng Ying took more than ten years to make the journey. Intrepideans would take even longer. The stareyes of the Million Mundi are truly immeasurably beneficial," Tianming sighed. The Myriadpath Celestial Formation had deeply intimidated him.
The question was, where was Myriadpath Valley?
"Look behind us," Li Fan said.
"Oh." Tianming quickly turned around and looked.
At the end of his vision was a dark abyss. It was like a huge black eye, and everything around it sank into it. Even s.p.a.ce seemed distorted, and light from the nova sources around it seemed to warp and become snake-like shapes that twined around the black eye. The scene was extremely bizarre.
In Tianming"s worldview, light must be straight, and this snake-shaped, strand-shaped appearance was the first for him, indicating how much Myriadpath Valley affected the surrounding stars.
His mind couldn’t help but wander to Moran’s waist. It carried a fatal attraction for him, and kept lingering in his mind.
He could only stare at Myriadpath Valley. He found that in different mundi, the starry sky seen above it was completely different. When he looked at Myriadpath Valley from the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, all he could see was in the endless starry sky behind the abyss was an extremely dense sea of stars! The nova sources were countless and endless. They formed a colorful background for Myriadpath Valley.
It was no longer a starry sky, but countless starry oceans. The distance between stars was as close as that between water droplets in the sea.
"Vast and abundant stars!" At this moment, Tianming finally confirmed that what Li Fan had said about the Million Mundi was no lie. Just the stars he could see with his eyes felt like more than a hundred thousand mundi. Myriadpath Valley should be right in the center of the starry sea, which was why its background looked so impressive.
"How do we get to Myriadpath Valley?" Tianming couldn"t help asking.
