During this time, the Lord of Chaos City also gave Lu Ming a detailed introduction to the distribution of power in the Cosmic Sea, including the three major cosmic reincarnation eras, the first, second and Lu Ming's third cosmic era, as well as the two transcendent holy land universes - the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and the Purple Moon Holy Land.
It also reiterated that the forces in the cosmic sea are complex and fraught with danger, and any force that is not one's own could become an enemy.
After an unknown amount of time, and after yet another teleportation,
"Look over there."
The Lord of Chaos pointed to the void ahead.
Lu Ming looked in that direction and saw a huge celestial body floating in the void not far away, its cosmic membrane extending outwards and stretching as far as the eye could see.
However, this cosmic membrane was extremely damaged, riddled with hundreds of huge, irregular holes and cracks, through which endless chaotic currents flowed freely through the cosmic sea and the interior of the universe.
"This is a small universe that has long been in ruins."
The Lord of Chaos's voice carried a hint of emotion.
"Approximately 1 million light-years in diameter."
"Dilapidated?"
Although Lu Ming had some understanding from the information, he was still shocked to witness the decay of a universe firsthand.
"The strongest being in the universe has fallen, and his miniature universe naturally crumbled as a result."
The Lord of Chaos City looked at Lu Ming.
"When a strong person cultivates to the highest peak, they become the strongest in the universe, and when a divine kingdom develops to the highest peak, it becomes a small universe. When an immortal god falls, the divine kingdom becomes desolate; when the strongest in the universe falls, a small universe will also fall into this state."
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Lord of Chaos City brought Lu Ming directly to the edge of a huge crack in the cosmic membrane.
The rift is hundreds of kilometers wide and its height is difficult to measure, with chaotic air currents surging in like a raging storm.
Passing through the crack, what came into Lu Ming's view was a world that was constantly collapsing and deathly silent.
Shattered fragments of space drifted everywhere, massive continental plates floated aimlessly, and the unimaginably enormous remains of divine beings were also mixed in, silently telling the tragic story of the past.
"Crash-"
In the far distance, another massive cosmic membrane collapsed, unable to hold its ground, and vanished into nothingness. The entire universe was in the midst of a slow and irreversible process of disintegration.
"The primordial universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings."
The voice of the Chaos City Lord echoed in the desolate universe.
"But it also has its own life cycle. After reaching a prosperous peak, it will decline and eventually be destroyed, and then a new cycle will begin... Each cycle will give birth to a new strongest being in the universe, a large number of universe masters."
"Each cycle is incredibly long. In each cycle, there is a group of the strongest beings in the universe, and each of these strongest beings corresponds to a small universe."
"Small universes drift in the ocean of space, going further and further away, many of them already beyond our reach. We have already discovered and recorded 18022 small universes!"
The Lord of Chaos City looked at the fragments of the continent and the corpses of gods floating in the chaotic air currents and spoke slowly.
Lu Ming held his breath.
"We call this cycle of reincarnation the Third Cosmic Era."
The Lord of Chaos City said.
"The previous cycle was the Second Universe Era. Before that, it was the First Universe Era."
"In the entire universe... apart from the two holy land universes, only the powerhouses from these three universe eras have survived. The powerhouses from earlier reincarnation eras, along with their races and smaller universes, have all been annihilated in the river of time."
"Three cosmic eras..."
Lu Ming murmured.
"Ah."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded.
"The First Universe Era, the Second Universe Era, and our Third Universe Era."
"Our Third Universe Era is still in the process of reproduction and development, while the previous two reincarnation eras have already completed a full cycle, and the number of powerful beings born and the accumulated foundation naturally far exceed ours."
The Lord of Chaos spoke calmly.
"Our Third Era is currently the weakest. The First Era is the strongest, and the powerful within it are even more insane because their miniature universes are closer to their limit. In order to transcend reincarnation, they will stop at nothing."
Lu Ming nodded silently, feeling a heavy weight of pressure.
Information is dead; only by seeing this dilapidated universe with your own eyes and hearing the Chaos City Lord's narration can that sense of cruel competition originating from the very source of the universe truly press upon your heart.
If one fails to pass the cycle of reincarnation in the first cycle, they will be submerged in the river of time.
He will inevitably have to go through reincarnation in the future.
He couldn't possibly expect Luo Feng to grant him immortality.
He's got cheat codes.
You absolutely cannot be worse than Luo Feng!
Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City changed his tone, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance: "Of course, there's no need to belittle ourselves. Our human race's progenitor was absolutely invincible when he roamed the universe! The strongest beings in other universes all had to retreat."
When the Primordial Ancestor was mentioned, Lu Ming could feel the reverence and pride in the Chaos City Lord's words.
"You mentioned three cosmic eras and two holy lands before..."
Lu Ming recalled the records in the documents and asked.
"Those two holy lands are said to have existed through countless cycles of reincarnation?"
"Yes."
The Lord of Chaos City's expression grew more solemn.
"Besides the three great cosmic eras, there are two transcendent forces in the cosmic sea, which originated from two small universes—the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and the Purple Moon Holy Land."
"Those two miniature universes are also incredibly large."
The Lord of Chaos City said.
"The strongest known small universes in the normal universes have a maximum diameter of 1 million light-years. These two sacred universes, one with a diameter of 21 billion light-years and the other with a diameter of 32 billion light-years, are the two largest known small universes. The age of their existence... is impossible to verify, far exceeding the limits of our ability to trace back."
Countless cycles of reincarnation have vanished, but these two holy lands have endured, demonstrating their formidable strength and profound heritage.
"Three cosmic eras and two holy lands constitute the main power structure in the endless cosmic sea."
"That's what the Lord of Chaos City has to say," he concluded.
"Of course, each cosmic era is not monolithic. Just like our Third Cosmic Era, which is divided into many forces such as the Hong Alliance, the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race. The First and Second Cosmic Eras were also full of factions. Therefore, the cosmic sea is extremely chaotic, and we must never let our guard down."
As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos City flipped his hand and took out a transparent crystal ball with countless stars flowing inside, and solemnly handed it to Lu Ming.
"Here is detailed intelligence collected by our human race regarding powerful figures from various forces in the Cosmic Sea, including the specialties and treasures of some well-known universe lords, as well as publicly available information on some powerful figures from the two holy lands. It also contains some highly confidential information. After you have read it, please destroy it."
"it is good."
Chapter 137 The Peak Realm
Lu Ming accepted the crystal ball with both hands.
A wisp of divine power seeped into the crystal sphere, and a massive amount of information instantly flooded into Lu Ming's mind.
The names, appearances, battle records, secret techniques, and known treasures of countless powerful figures unfold like a scroll.
The more Lu Ming learned, the more he could feel the unfathomable depth of the Cosmic Sea, and the potential gap between himself and those veteran powerhouses, especially the powerhouses of the two holy lands.
After a long while, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes. The light in his eyes was restrained, yet even more profound.
"Feeling the pressure?"
The Lord of Chaos looked at him.
"Ah."
Lu Ming readily admitted it.
"The universe is full of powerful beings, and my strength is really nothing."
"Pressure is a good thing."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded.
"Although you are only a Universe Venerable, you have many means to ensure your safety. Experiencing more trials will greatly benefit your breakthrough to the Universe Master level."
He looked up into the depths of the void: "Let's go, let's continue our journey. We're almost at the Peak Realm."
The Lord of Chaos City, along with Lu Ming, teleported away from this desolate and ruined universe once again.
The Lord of Chaos City led Lu Ming on a journey through the cosmic sea.
The surrounding chaotic currents of air, like an eternal fog, shrouded everything in a hazy mist.
"We are about to reach the outer edge of the Peak Boundary."
The Lord of Chaos's voice broke the silence.
"Remember, even the outer areas of the Peak Realm, one of the three forbidden zones, are fraught with danger."
Lu Ming focused his gaze and saw that the chaotic energy in front of him seemed to have become even denser, and he could vaguely feel a heart-palpitating pressure coming from afar.
"The outer perimeter of the Peak Realm is like a giant maze,"
The Lord of Chaos City explained.
"It contains countless naturally formed dangers. Some places are so dangerous that even the strongest beings in the universe have to be careful."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
On his way here, he had carefully studied the information about the Peak Realm and knew that it was both a place of opportunity and a place of death.
The Lord of Chaos City took out a crystal that shimmered with a faint light: "This contains detailed information about the outer perimeter of the Peak Realm, including known safe routes, warning signs for dangerous areas, and possible locations of some precious materials."
Lu Ming solemnly accepted the crystal, his divine power permeating it, and a large amount of information immediately flooded into his mind.
He saw the intricate topographic map, areas marked with various danger symbols, and detailed descriptions of some special zones.
"The Peak Realm is divided into the outer domain, the inner domain, and the core area."
The Lord of Chaos City continued his explanation.
You are now exploring the Outer Realms. Remember a few key points: "Do not teleport unnecessarily, do not venture into unmarked areas, and be wary of powerful individuals from other factions."
