Chapter 1085: Black Hole Immortal
Chapter 1085: Black Hole Immortal
Diamond Star.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged in the cosmos.
Around him, the darkness subtly fluctuated, as if space-time itself was being warped.
A powerful, unidentifiable suction force materialized.
Immediately thereafter, the planet was inexplicably ensnared by a black hole, automatically drawing it within, where it vanished in an instant.
"Black hole evolution?"
Witnessing this scene, Xing Sha exclaimed in disbelief.
She simply could not have imagined that her pursuit of a Neutron Star Immortal-level prince would lead her to witness the ascension of a Black Hole Immortal!
"Such an existence. . . how is that possible?"
Xing Sha wanted to escape, but it was already too late.
Puff! Puff!
Terrifying streams of gamma rays surged forth, forming a gamma-ray burst. . .
Boom!
One spacecraft after another exploded, their debris uncontrollably drawn towards the black hole.
"A Black Hole Immortal. . . just like that."
Fang Xi was equally surprised.
Even though he had condensed the 'Spacetime Concept' and devoured numerous neutron stars and stars,
the ease with which he broke through to the 'Black Hole Immortal' realm still filled him with delight.
"Among my three External Avatars, I am definitely the first now, perhaps even serving as my true self's trump card and secret combat power. . ."
A Black Hole Immortal, if placed in the True Immortal World, would undoubtedly be on the level of a Spacetime Dao Monarch!
Fang Xi sensed his own neutron star collapse once more, forming a 'space-time singularity'.
Even his soul and that wisp of illusory True Spirit were involuntarily drawn into it.
"The hallmark of a Black Hole Immortal lies in the formation of a 'space-time singularity'. . . Its immense gravitational pull is sufficient to warp space-time, and can even capture souls. . ."
"My divine soul is now one with the space-time singularity, virtually without weakness, impervious to any Divine Consciousness attacks of a Dao Monarch's caliber. . ."
A trace of joy appeared on Fang Xi's face.
The might of a Black Hole Immortal was all-encompassing!
"However, for now, I've only caught up to my true self's realm. . . Beyond the Black Hole Immortal stage, there's a realm that has never even appeared in the Empire. . . According to previous conjectures, one must unify the entire universe to become a Universe Unifier?"
He sat cross-legged, silently contemplating.
"Unifying the universe, devouring numerous concepts?"
"Above the Black Hole Immortal, is there truly only this one path?"
"Perhaps that is the case in this universe, but I am different."
The essence of the Great Dao of All-Heavens Reincarnation lay in converging with other Great Thousand Worlds to gather wisdom and solve problems!
"Above the Black Hole Immortal, one should need to accommodate numerous concepts. . ."
"In that case. . . perhaps I can go take advantage of the Dayue world, after all, that's a world where one can leverage the power of laws even at the Ninth Rank. . ."
Fang Xi stroked his chin, a hint of anticipation appearing on his face.
In terms of sheer power, my previous self was probably already world-destroying, wasn't it?
Several days later.
Alpha Star.
"Your Highness, Kāya. . ."
Wen Ge's expression instantly turned incredibly grave upon seeing Fang Xi approach: "Latest imperial intelligence. . . Emperor Star has been annihilated by a cosmic tide. . . The Sixth Prince, Marshal Nietzsche, the Royal Academy Director, and other important figures are all missing!"
Though Fang Xi had now ascended to a Black Hole Immortal, he had completely reined in his power, maintaining the energy fluctuations of a Neutron Star Immortal.
His expression turned solemn upon hearing this: "Sixth Prince. . . Zorro? What's the situation over there?"
"Several star systems near Emperor Star have lost contact, and even refugees are appearing!"
Wen Ge's expression was unprecedentedly grave: "A strange phenomenon can now be detected across the cosmos — the rate of cosmic expansion has slowed down!"
"Oh?"
Fang Xi took the report and glanced at it, instantly feeling a little surprised.
This universe was still very young; its expansion rate was originally infinitely faster than the speed of light, but now, it had reduced to roughly a hundred times.
"According to this model's estimation, after one cosmic day, the expansion rate of our universe will become one times the speed of light, and then it will become a negative value, meaning. . . contraction?"
Fang Xi said: "It's as if. . . an unprecedented black hole has appeared where Emperor Star was?"
At this moment, he immediately thought of the evolution beyond Black Hole Immortal — Universe Unification!
Devouring the entire universe, gathering all concepts!
While not at the Dao Venerable realm, in terms of sheer power, it was simply unimaginable!
"This is also the outcome we least wish to see. . ."
"Something incredibly terrifying has definitely happened over at Emperor Star. . ."
Wen Ge replied with a bitter smile.
"Prepare cosmic observation instruments for me. I want to conduct experiments myself. . ."
Fang Xi frowned, but then quickly relaxed.
To him, even if this universe was about to be 'unified', there was nothing to fear.
Even if he were to withdraw now, it would still be a huge gain.
At the very least, this External Avatar's strength had firmly reached the Dao Monarch level!
It was equivalent to his true self refining a Dao Monarch-level clone!
...
Dayue world.
'[Yin Heavenly Emperor], [Heavenly Mother], [Martial Ancestor], [Water Ancestor]. . . '
Deep within the alley.
Inside the grand house with green tiles and blue bricks.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, silently contemplating the names of those deities.
To achieve great accomplishments in this world, one must worship gods!
"As I am now, I am already a Fifth-Rank [Heavenly Master], and ascending further to a Fourth-Rank [Feathered Immortal] is a major threshold. . ."
"Other cultivators, by the Sixth or Seventh Rank, probably can't resist worshipping gods anymore. . . Those who can persist to the Fifth Rank are very few. . . After the Fourth-Rank [Feathered Immortal], I will absolutely be able to completely control the power of laws, but alas. . . the storm is brewing."
Fang Xi sighed.
Although the city was as usual, he took out a few copper coins, dropped them into a turtle shell, shook it gently, and then tossed them onto the ground.
This was a skill of the [Heavenly Master] — the Art of Turtle Divination, capable of foretelling with accuracy through turtle shells, copper coins, or divination stalks.
Looking at the copper coins scattered on the ground, he let out an unsurprised chuckle: "Ambush from Ten Sides? Quite interesting. . ."
...
Anomaly Suppression Division.
Zhang Longyi walked into the yamen, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.
He was still a Ninth-Rank [Martial Practitioner], his spiritual senses not particularly acute, but having been here for a long time, he always had some divinely enlightened premonitions.
"Lord Zhang. . ."
"Mm."
A yamen runner came up to him, bowing and greeting him.
Everything, once again, seemed no different from usual.
Zhang Longyi rubbed his head and walked into the room thoughtfully.
Inside the room, the furnishings were identical to before, save for a scroll painting added to the wall.
Within the scroll painting was a grim, eerie city.
Bones paved the ground, malevolent spirits manifested. . . forming a scene of the City of the Unjustly Dead.
Deep within the City of the Unjustly Dead, a white-line drawing technique was used to create the impression that some colossal entity was slumbering.
That was. . .
Zhang Longyi instantly felt a dizzy haze, then a jolt, and proceeded to work as usual.
"Hmm. . . recently, there's been a fox demon causing trouble in Small Stream Village outside the city. An anomaly investigator should be sent to deal with it. . ."
"Little Fang is quite good, he's acted several times without fail. . ."
A faint smile curved Zhang Longyi's lips.
Over the past few years, he had maintained a good personal relationship with Fang Xi and knew that this 'grand-nephew' had already ascended to the Eighth Rank.
He could be considered one of the few top experts in this small town's Anomaly Suppression Division.
As the sun set in the west.
Zhang Longyi walked out of the Anomaly Suppression Division and returned to the Martial Ancestor Temple.
The temple was profound.
He suddenly paused, entering the Martial Ancestor Hall.
The Martial Ancestor Temple was dedicated to the Martial Ancestor, yet there were no divine statues or wooden carvings in the hall.
On the sole shrine, a calligraphic painting hung.
Within the painting, there was only a single character'Wu' (Wu), written with soaring dragon and dancing phoenix strokes!
If one observed closely, they would find that the character'Wu'seems to transform into a fist stance, from which all manner of martial arts could evolve, even coalescing into a human figure!
This figure stood like a deep abyss and towering peak, chest contained and back extended, with ape-like arms and a waspish waist. . . raising a golden arm, bending five fingers, transforming into a single punch!
Boundless Light! Boundless Life!
"Ah!"
Zhang Longyi cried out, half-kneeling on the ground, his expression twisted in pain, blue veins on his body twitching like earthworms.
"Uwah!"
Suddenly, he retched, spewing out large mouthfuls of filth and yellow liquid.
Within this yellow liquid were egg-sized ovoids, inside which, like hearts, something was ceaselessly pulsating. . .
Zhang Longyi suddenly regained complete clarity, his gaze shifting from bewilderment to alertness: "I remember now. . . the City of the Unjustly Dead, Yin Heavenly Emperor. . ."
He looked in Fang Xi's direction, a complex expression involuntarily appearing in his eyes.
"I humbly thank Martial Ancestor!"
Immediately, Zhang Longyi knelt on the ground and began to prostrate himself devoutly. . .
...
Outside the city.
Small Stream Village.
At the village entrance, women were washing clothes, and children occasionally frolicked and played.
It seemed no different from before.
However, within the village, there was a strange atmosphere.
"Eunuch, the Heaven's Net and Earth's Snare has been laid out. This time, it's absolutely foolproof. . ."
A eunuch in purple robes sat behind a desk, his temples slightly frosted, holding a vermilion brush, exuding a calm demeanor.
Before him, numerous eunuchs in red robes, and even military officials, stood solemnly.
"Regarding this assignment, this old servant won't say too much. . . Long Ling sent a warning; an [Aura Seer] detected an Emperor's Aura within this city. . ."
The purple-robed eunuch set down his teacup, every word he spoke sending a chill through those present: "There's nothing inherently wrong with a 'Heavenly Son' in seclusion; our dynasty has slain countless such figures. But colluding with outer-world gods is deeply unsettling. This time, the search for the 'Evil Emperor's Son' will be overseen by this old servant. Any of you who dares to be negligent, allowing our efforts to fall short at the last moment, this old servant will flay you alive!"
"Eunuch. . . the target has been confirmed. The divine statues have reacted."
At this moment, a person dressed as a servant boy entered and spoke a few respectful words.
"The Imperial Astronomical Bureau sent a pigeon dispatch: the outer-world gods are making unusual moves. . ."
At this moment, another soldier entered, saluted, knelt, and presented a piece of intelligence.
"Good. . . good, everything's coming together. As expected, the Evil Emperor's Son is indeed colluding with outer-world gods!"
The purple-robed eunuch let out a chilling sneer, gazing at the name on the memo — 'Fang Xi'!
"According to previous divinations and intelligence synthesis, this person is deeply hidden, even possessing the ability to obscure heavenly secrets. We absolutely cannot be negligent. . ."
Dayue was a very strange world; perhaps a trivial matter investigated by an ordinary constable could ultimately lead to the involvement of an evil god!
Not to mention such a major affair. Immediately, everyone's expressions turned solemn: "Understood!"
Update will be later tomorrow morning
