Chapter 1510 : The Miniature Universe of Yangjian
The remaining 6 individuals, each possessing dual Taiyi foundations, had no Cave Heaven backing them. Although they too were built upon dual Taiyi foundations, their hidden cards were likely somewhat weaker—they might not possess ultimate trumps like a Taiyi Immortal Weapon.
Without a trump card like a Taiyi Immortal Artifact, they would still stand a fighting chance if they encountered 1.
At this thought, Seraphina Qu comforted them, "There's no need for you to worry. The likes of these Imperial Sons and Divine Sons will naturally be dealt with by the likes of the Celestial Maiden of the Great White and the Pure Yang Saint."
"For us, the most pressing matter is still finding a way to contact the Human Sovereign and 3 Emperors of the Microcosmos."
Eldrin (Person Name) inquired upon hearing this, "Have we sent anyone to contact them?"
"It has been arranged."
Lyra murmured softly before speaking, "We are awaiting their reply. Should they respond with goodwill, we shall arrange a meeting with them."
"Very well."
Eldrin nodded and said, "Time is running short. We must confirm our cooperation with the Human Emperor of this realm before the Minor Universe opens."
"If no news arrives before the minor cosmos is opened, we shall miss the optimal window for cooperation."
With those words, Eldrin let out a faint sigh and said no more.
After the crowd had dispersed, he pulled Lyra aside and said, "During this journey, I met my grandfather."
"Grandfather?"
Lyra's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but ask aloud.
Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "Indeed, if my eyes do not deceive me, this is the reincarnated form of my grandfather, Jiang Daoxu."
"Given his current level of cultivation, his memories of past lives must have fully returned."
"However, the timing was not right then, so I did not reveal myself to him."
After listening to his words, Lyra (Person Name) fell into brief contemplation before remarking, "Given Grandfather's unique status now, if he dares to enter the Minor Universe, his cultivation must have likely reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm."
"Our journey into this minor cosmos will likely allow us to assist 1 another."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.
Lord Jiang had already cultivated to the Twelfth Heavenly Tier. As the Crowned Son of Taixu, backed by a supreme grotto-heaven, his combat prowess undoubtedly rivaled a Half-Step Celestial Immortal. It was even highly probable he wielded a Taiyi Immortal Artifact in his grasp.
Once 1 stepped into the microcosm, it might prove to be a powerful aid.
At this thought, Eldrin murmured again, "By that count, our hidden strength may yet grow by another measure."
Eldrin had not been back in the minor netherworld universe for long when Chen Ethan, who had journeyed to the mortal realm, finally returned.
Upon seeing his return, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "How did it go?"
Contact has been established with the Human Emperor Palace in the Yang Realm's Minor Cosmos.
With a grave expression, Chen Ethan spoke, then looked at Eldrin and said, "The meaning of the Human Sovereign is that with the constant natural disasters and man-made calamities plaguing the Yang World's Small Universe, he needs to take charge of the overall situation. Therefore, he wishes to invite us for a discussion."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Eldrin spoke, "To show our sincerity, I shall go with Liuli Shenjun this time."
At this point, he looked at Daoist Zixuan and said, "I beseech you, Fellow Daoist Zixuan, to take command of the grand formation. Should the situation turn dire, you may harness the formation's power to activate the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) and summon our return."
"Rest assured, this place shall be entrusted to this elder."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zixuan gave a slight nod and said.
With the cultivation base of Elder Zixuan and the power of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, the combat prowess unleashed should be comparable to that of a dual Taiyi foundation existence.
Moreover, with the support of the entire Netherworld Small Universe’s formation arrays, the unleashed power may not dare to claim parity with a Celestial Immortal mighty 1, but its lethality likely far surpasses the limits of dual Great Unity foundations.
With such power guarding their retreat, they now had a way out even in the most desperate of situations.
"Then I can rest easy."
With the promise of the Violet Mystic Daoist, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance in his heart.
He left Lyra and the others to assist in maintaining the grand formation, then activated the Heaven-Deceiving Art to conceal his aura and appearance before infiltrating the Yang World Minor Universe.
No sooner had he stepped into the Yang World Microcosm than Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly.
Observing this, the Glazed Divine Monarch couldn't help but sigh softly, "This minor cosmos teeters on the brink of extinction and decay. The Heavenly Dao has grown considerably feeble now, and barring unforeseen circumstances, it shall be utterly annihilated within 100,000 years."
"Hmm."
Eldrin nodded slightly, offering no further words.
He journeyed through the endless void, discovering that within this vast yang-plane microcosmos, hundreds of major river-systems rose and fell amidst the boundless emptiness.
Yet between these great river-like star systems, spatial rifts could be found everywhere, with trillions upon trillions of stars drifting and swirling within the boundless starry expanse.
Almost every moment, tens of thousands of stars were exploding, countless waves of scorching flames swept through the miniature cosmos, and a force capable of annihilating everything ravaged vast stretches of the starry sky.
Supernova Eruption.
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a supernova eruption—an exceedingly rare phenomenon in his previous life that only occurred during a star's final moments—now appeared everywhere before his eyes.
He understood the reason in his heart—this apocalyptic scene was triggered by the imbalance of cosmic laws and heavenly principles, as this universe had entered its final stage of annihilation.
Continuing at this rate, these hundreds of major river-like galaxies, with their billions upon trillions of stars, would face relentless annihilation over the coming tens of thousands of years.
Until 1 100 1000 years later, when all stars have been extinguished and the cosmos returns to utter darkness, that will mark the complete annihilation of the universe.
"The scene of world annihilation."
Eldrin sighed inwardly, his gaze drifting toward the distant cosmos where a colossal star erupted in a blaze of glory.
Beside the star, on an ancient planet spanning tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of millions of humans witnessing this scene all revealed expressions of utter despair.
The light of annihilation devoured all, as if to tear the entire star into fragments.
"Alas—"
Just as this ancient star was on the verge of annihilation, a sigh echoed through the void.
But then, a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens descended over the starry sky, seizing the entire ancient star at this critical moment.
By the time all living beings on the Ancient Star regained their senses, they found themselves transported to an unfamiliar cosmic expanse.
Beneath the boundless starry sky stretched a vast and boundless primordial land.
The 1 who made a move was none other than Eldrin. He gathered all living beings upon the ancient star into his Earth Immortal realm, then cast it as a celestial body into the Great Abyss of Returning Ruin, where it became the first star to illuminate the depths of that void-bound cosmos.
Qu Liuli witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly, "You may save 1 star, but you cannot save everyone."
"Since our paths have crossed, I might as well lend a hand if I can."
Eldrin murmured softly before continuing his journey deeper into the starry expanse.
This miniature cosmos was boundless and vast. Eldrin journeyed ever deeper into the starry expanse, rescuing numerous inhabitants of ancient human stars along his path. Before he knew it, he had already arrived beyond the periphery of a galaxy.
Human Emperor Nebula.
Gazing upon the vast nebula before him, Eldrin slowly let out a breath he had been holding.
