Chapter 479 - 252: Formation, Stasis, Destruction, Emptiness, and the Starry Sky’s Silent Extinction
Southern Continent.
Within the Underworld.
Wang Xiao held a Door of All Marvels Fragment, silently contemplating the profound secrets of the Space Layers it contained.
At this moment, after being refined by Wang Xiao, the four Door of All Marvels Fragments had begun to faintly resemble a gateway.
The patterns on their surfaces had all connected, forming intricate runic seals.
’The Space Layers in the starry sky are like sheets of white paper, stacked seamlessly together, forming countless folds.’
’The pattern of each fold is different. By fully grasping these patterns, I can activate the folds, which in turn allows the Space Layer to resonate with the Rune Heaven and Earth inside my body!’
’The deeper the Space Layer, the more complex its pattern, and the more difficult it is to make it resonate!’
’Ordinary Cultivators can only grope about, like blind men touching an elephant, to gain complete control over a single Space Layer!’
’But now that I control this Door of All Marvels Fragment, the patterns of these Space Layers are all laid bare before me.’
’As long as I follow the blueprint, I can gain complete control over one Space Layer after another, which will drastically reduce my cultivation time.’
With the aid of the Door of All Wonders, Wang Xiao had a new epiphany regarding the Space Layers!
He also now understood why the Door of All Wonders could traverse to any corner of the Cosmos.
It essentially worked by temporarily folding the patterns of two Space Layers together until they formed a single point!
By standing on this point, one could remain unaffected no matter how great the distance.
Of course, traversing to any corner of the Cosmos required more than just a sufficiently deep understanding of the Space Layers.
One also needed the power to fold the Space Layers and shatter the various barriers within the starry sky.
Take Wang Xiao, for example. Even if he comprehended ten billion Space Layers, he still wouldn’t be able to traverse the entire Cosmos.
His power was insufficient.
’The so-called Starry Sky Era is actually the process of these Space Layers gradually merging. When all the Space Layers fuse into one, they will unleash an immense amount of energy.’
’Like a sheet of paper, it will be pulled in all directions, expanding without limit until it is finally torn apart and obliterated!’
’And then, this starry sky will be destroyed as a result!’
A flash of understanding arose in Wang Xiao’s mind.
Even a Tier Ten Life might not be able to escape the power unleashed by this stellar Silent Extinction and would simply vanish like smoke!
Perhaps only those who transcended Time and Space, standing outside the River of Time, could possibly survive.
It was just like that Daoist he had encountered before in the Real World.
That being was very likely a Tier Twelve Life!
Only a Tier Twelve Life could truly leap out of the River of Time and look down upon all living beings.
’Right now, I can activate a total of 100,000 Space Layers. I don’t know what my limit is, but I should be able to reach the level of activating 100 million Space Layers!’
Wang Xiao activated One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones and silently comprehended the explanations of the Space Layers contained within the Door of All Marvels Fragment!
The Rune Heaven and Earth inside his body also began to vibrate continuously, resonating with one layer of Space after another.
However, this Starry Sky Resonance also had its limits.
The deeper the Space Layer, the more energy it required from one’s own Rune Heaven and Earth.
Wang Xiao’s current Rune Heaven and Earth was not perfect.
Therefore, making ten billion Space Layers resonate was a near-impossible feat!
However, Wang Xiao didn’t particularly care.
He only needed to reach the limit of what this body could achieve.
With this foundation in cultivation, he would be able to break through to become a Tier Nine Life at the fastest possible speed once he returned to the Real World!
Without thinking further, Wang Xiao completely immersed himself in comprehending the mysteries of the Space Layers.
He had originally considered taking action ahead of time to deal with the great powers and titans from the various continents who had surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm.
But on second thought, he decided against it.
Since they hadn’t obstructed him from taking the Door of All Marvels Fragments, he couldn’t be bothered to act.
After all—
Once he made a move, there was no telling what unexpected variables might arise.
Wang Xiao’s most urgent task now was to push the number of Space Layers he could activate to its absolute limit.
By doing so, he might be able to activate the power of these four Door of All Marvels Fragments.
He could then open a passage between the two realms and ascend to the Upper Realm.
Only by ascending to the Upper Realm would he have the opportunity to access the Magic Technique for breaking through to become a Tier Ten Life.
This was also Wang Xiao’s most important goal for entering this Heaven and Earth.
Through the Door of All Marvels Fragments, Wang Xiao could clearly sense it.
Somewhere in the starry sky, an unknown number of light-years away, other Door of All Marvels Fragments existed.
However, with his current power, he could only barely sense their presence.
If he wanted to activate these Door of All Marvels Fragments to resonate with, and even connect to, the other fragments an unknown number of light-years away, he would likely need to be able to activate at least 100 million Space Layers!
As for those great powers and titans who had surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm, in his eyes, they were not much stronger than ants.
With his own power and the Door of All Marvels Fragments, he could suppress them with a mere flip of his hand.
There was no need to pay them too much mind.
For some time after that, Wang Xiao remained beneath the Eighteen Layers of Hell, silently contemplating the mysteries of the Space Layers.
In the blink of an eye, another three hundred years passed.
A ripple, imperceptible to ordinary people, suddenly erupted from beneath the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
This ripple passed through Heaven and Earth and spread into the starry sky, causing the entire expanse to erupt with an endless, deafening roar!
One Space Layer after another surged up like a tidal wave.
Like a blooming lotus, they rippled out toward the depths of the starry sky.
