In the endless starry universe, silence and darkness were the eternal theme.
The edge of the universe was a barren area. No one had walked out of it for tens of millions of years. It was even a place forgotten by the gods because one had to cross an unknown distance to reach the edge of the 10 billion world layers.
The starry sky was silent. In the silent universe, there was a huge star corpse floating. It used to be a powerful domain, but it was completely destroyed by the Great Calamity of Annihilation. In the end, it turned into an abandoned star. Death Qi lingered on it, and it did not dissipate even after countless years.
Gusts of void wind blew in the void. Immediately, a large number of meteorites turned into dust and were blown to the end of the universe by the invisible wind.
Of course, there were also some magical things that could resist this level of void wind. In the distance, a skeleton floated over quietly. There was not a trace of flesh on it.
However, even though it was far away, one could still feel a vast and boundless pressure sweeping over.
Astral behemoths were creatures that could swallow stars and feed on them. Their bodies were countless miles long, and they were giants in the starry sky.
Today, the barren area that had been peaceful for countless years was once again broken.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The void distorted, and three figures appeared silently. The surrounding space was distorted at this moment, as if it could not withstand their power.
They were Dao Ancestor Ao Qing, Xuan Nü of the Ninth Heaven, and Skyless Buddha who had come out of the Seventh Realm.
In the entire Seventh Realm, only Dao Ancestor Ao Qing was a Heavenly Path powerhouse, while Xuan Nü of the Ninth Heaven and Skyless Buddha were quasi-Heavenly Path powerhouses.
In the endless void, only when one's strength reached a certain level could one travel in the interstellar space.
One had to know that the danger in the starry sky was not small. The slightest carelessness could cause one to fall into a situation where one would die.
The void could not withstand the pressure of a Heavenly Path powerhouse. Dao Ancestor Ao Qing frowned, and the aura on his body instantly disappeared without a trace. Like a speck of dust, he was no longer rejected by the void.
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing raised his head. His gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through the endless starry sky.
As far as his eyes could see, there was an endless void. Silence and darkness occupied the main theme.
In the void, occasionally, there would be bright fireworks that would bloom, illuminating the nearby starry sky.
That was the final sound of a star burning intensely, the radiance in full bloom!
"Is this the outside world?" Xuan Nv of the Nine Heavens also retracted her aura. She looked around and sighed.
The Ao Qing Dao Ancestor was still alright. His expression was calm. After all, he had some experience and was much stronger.
However, the Nine-heavens Maiden and Skyless Buddha were extremely shocked.
They had lived in the Seventh Realm for so many years that they could reach out and touch heaven and earth. But when they came out, they found that they were just a drop in the ocean. How could they not be shocked?
However, as someone who could become a quasi-Heaven's Dao expert, how could his temperament be so easily affected? After that brief sigh, his eyes became resolute and even filled with hope. It was a yearning for the unknown and the desire to become stronger.
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing nodded and said to the two of them, "Let's go!"
The three of them traveled in silence. This kind of silent journey could drive people crazy.
Fortunately, the three of them were all very powerful existences. They were all people who had been in seclusion for thousands of years. They did not particularly care about this kind of boring life, but the dark environment around them made their hearts heavy.
The three of them advanced. In this so-called barren area, they finally knew why this place was called the barren area. There was very little light in the long star journey, and there were very few things that they could come into contact with.
Occasionally, they could also encounter some small stars. There were some races living on them, but they were very weak, not to mention Heavenly Dao experts.
They weren't interested in observing it, so they just swept past it. They were very fast, but they still hadn't reached the end of the endless darkness. If An Lan hadn't given them directions, they might have been lost in the endless darkness.
Finally, after crossing an unknown distance of stars, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
Even Dao Ancestor Ao Qing could not help but sigh at the greatness and magnificence of the starry sky.
In front of them, there was a rift valley that was countless light-years long, as if it separated heaven and earth!
The Great Rift Valley of the Starry Sky!
The land that broke the sky and the earth!
In the endless starry sky, there seemed to be a huge crack. It was a wound of heaven and earth that could not be erased!
In this place, everything seemed so small. The void was cut off, and they did not know how high it was or how deep it was. It was as if they could reach the netherworld.
The spatial rift could not be traversed. Above the rift, the stars in the heavens revolved, bobbing up and down. There seemed to be an endless river of stars within, but they were also sucked in by a powerful suction force, slowly drooping down.
It was like a funnel. The river of stars formed an hourglass, and the stars were sand that was sucked into the depths of the rift valley.
What they saw and heard was unimaginable. They could not believe it!
In the depths of the rift valley, there was endless darkness. It could not be seen through, and even one's spirit could not be explored. Dao Ancestor Ao Qing wanted to use his powerful will to explore, but as soon as he went down, he seemed to have fallen into a quagmire and disappeared without a trace.
Xuan Nü of the Nine Heavens and Skyless Buddha's faces turned pale. Clearly, they had suffered a great loss. It was only because Dao Ancestor Ao Qing was much stronger that he wasn't affected much.
"The Great Rift Valley of the Starry Sky!"
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing sighed. He finally understood how huge and dangerous the ten billion world layers were.
The other two fell into silence. Originally, they had been prepared. With their own strength, they thought that they could protect themselves. Now, it seemed that this strength was not enough in the starry sky.
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing looked at the great rift valley that was countless light-years long, and his heart only rippled. This kind of dangerous place would naturally be cracked in the future. It was not a big deal!
Whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of wind rose in the Great Rift Valley!
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad premonition.
"Let's go!"
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing said, his voice a little anxious. He could not see the source of the danger, but an intuition surged in his heart.
The Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens and Skyless Buddha did not doubt it at all. Their figures instantly disappeared on the spot. However, in the next moment, their expressions changed because they found that they had not gone very far.
At this moment, the void was distorted. Space was cut off, and they could no longer cross!
Whoosh!
In the infinitely deep rift valley, waves of whistling wind sounded, as if a huge storm was brewing …
