Sword Elder's terror! Beyond the Milky Way lies a great horror!

"Old Grandfather, what are you referring to?"

Lin Xiyue, who was chatting animatedly with Gu Zhiyun and Su Qinghan, was stunned by Sword Elder's sudden and inexplicable question.

She followed Sword Elder's solemn gaze toward the sky.

It was clear as crystal, limpid like the finest sapphire, without a single wisp of cloud; it was impossibly clean.

Except for a few birds passing by occasionally, where could there be anything unusual?

"..."

Qin Ming was also bewildered at first, not understanding why this expert from another world would suddenly ask this.

But he was quick-witted, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he reacted immediately.

"Respected Senior, are you perhaps referring to... space?" Qin Ming asked tentatively.

"Do you call those depths space?"

"Um... yes, that is exactly what I mean by space."

Sword Elder nodded slightly, his eyes, which seemed capable of piercing through illusions, still staring fixedly at the depths of the firmament, his tone low.

"Er... if you are referring to space..."

Although Qin Ming did not know why Sword Elder had suddenly brought up this topic, he still answered honestly:

"Please forgive my ignorance, Senior."

"Currently, in our Great Xia, although we have achieved some success on the path of exploring space, at most we have only been to the Moon, that is, the Lunar Star."

"Furthermore, we can only stay on it for a very short time with the help of technological equipment."

"As for places further away... we cannot yet reach them."

"Or rather... no other country on this planet can do it either; that is the current limit of all humanity."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of regret in Qin Ming's tone.

Compared to the vast Universe, humanity's current footprint was truly too insignificant!

"You have never been there?"

"No wonder..."

After listening to Qin Ming's explanation, Sword Elder nodded gently, then said nothing more.

However, his tightly knitted brows were like a dead knot, unable to smooth out at all.

On that aged and illusory face, a rare kind of unease and solemnity appeared.

Sword Elder's appearance caused the previously relaxed and pleasant atmosphere at the scene to suddenly solidify.

For a moment, everyone had no mood to chat or exchange pleasantries.

The hearts of the four people, Qin Ming and the others, began to feel inexplicably anxious.

They were not familiar with Sword Elder and did not know what level of existence he was.

But they did know one thing.

That was when Lin Xiyue introduced him earlier, she had personally called him "Old Grandfather"!

They certainly wouldn't have understood this term before.

But after cramming countless cultivation novels, they knew the gold content of the term "Portable Old Grandfather" too well!

That was the protagonist's Golden Finger, a synonym for omniscient and omnipotent!

It could be said that among the four external teachers present, only this Sword Elder was absolutely unfathomable.

So, since even he showed such a solemn and even fearful expression...

How could it not make their hearts panic?

Could it be... that above this seemingly calm sky, there really was some great crisis hidden that even they didn't know about?

"Hiss...!"

Li Zhanjun gasped, unable to help but swallow his saliva.

He was embarrassed to directly step forward and ask the Sword Elder, who looked very difficult to deal with, so he could only carefully lean over to Lin Xiyue and ask in a low voice:

"Girl Yue... what is wrong with this Old Senior?"

"Did he discover something?"

"Why does it feel... like the sky is about to collapse?"

"Second Grandfather, I don't understand either."

Lin Xiyue also had a look of bewilderment.

Although she was a Golden Core True Person, her vision and knowledge were limited after all; how could she compare to a living fossil like Sword Elder?

"Don't be anxious, let me ask."

However, Lin Xiyue had a straightforward personality and was not an outsider, so she immediately looked at Sword Elder nonchalantly.

"Old Grandfather, what did you see?"

"Don't scare us!"

Li Fan, who was on the side, was also confused and couldn't help but interject:

"That's right, Sword Elder, what exactly did you discover?"

"Is there... something wrong with the sky?"

Facing everyone's questioning, Sword Elder remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he slowly retracted his gaze, looked at Lin Xiyue, his tone unprecedentedly serious.

"..."

"Little girl, I don't know if it's an illusion."

"In the Void Realm... er no, in the depths of what you call space..."

"I felt a kind of... great terror!"

"It seems like something exists there!"

As soon as Sword Elder said this, everyone present was shocked!

"Ah??"

Lin Xiyue widened her eyes, her small mouth slightly parted.

"Old Grandfather, do you mean there are unknown terrifying big guys in the Universe??"

"What exactly is it?"

"Is it an alien fleet? Or some cosmic monster?"

The complexions of Qin Ming and the others also instantly turned pale.

Great Terror?

Something that even he would call a Great Terror...

What level of existence must that be?

If it had malice toward Blue Star...

Even if Great Xia all cultivated, could they withstand it?

"I cannot say for sure..."

Sword Elder shook his head, the suspicion in his eyes not dispersing.

"That feeling was very vague, fleeting."

"It is also possible... that my perception was wrong..."

"After all, I am currently in a Soul state, my perception is not as good as before, and over such a long distance, it is possible to misjudge."

Although he said this, there was not much confidence in his tone.

As a powerhouse who once stood at the Peak of the Cangxuan Great Realm, he had always firmly believed in his intuition.

That feeling of trembling from the depths of his Soul was definitely not groundless!

"Then Old Grandfather, is there any way for you to sense it more carefully?"

Lin Xiyue asked persistently.

If this matter wasn't figured out, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in the future!

Hearing this, Sword Elder pondered for a moment, then sighed heavily.

"Very well..."

"Although my intuition tells me it is best not to peer there."

"But... since I have come, I am afraid that from now on I am on the same boat as you all."

"If there is truly some unknown hidden danger, I cannot just let it be and ignore it..."

Speaking of this, Sword Elder's originally somewhat hunched illusory body suddenly straightened, and an incomparably sharp Aura began to brew on him.

"Well, you all step back for now."

"I need to use some bottom-of-the-box methods to take a good look!"

"Oh oh, okay!"

Seeing Sword Elder so serious, how could Lin Xiyue dare to be sloppy?

She hurriedly greeted everyone to retreat together, not stopping until they were dozens of meters away from Sword Elder.

In the center of the square, only the lonely figure of Sword Elder remained.

"Hoo..."

Sword Elder took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and began to form an ancient and complex Seal in front of his chest.

Hum!

As the Seal formed, a vast and majestic power of the Divine Soul exploded from his illusory body!

The power was so strong that it even caused visible ripples in the surrounding space.

"Tai Xu Sword Eye, open!"

With a low shout, Sword Elder suddenly opened his eyes!

Two golden divine lights, like substance, shot out from his eyes, instantly piercing through the atmosphere, ignoring the distance of space,

And using this place as the origin, they crazily spread toward the depths of the vast and boundless Universe!

Under the gaze of those divine eyes, the originally pitch-black and dead starry sky began to undergo strange changes.

Those brilliant stars disappeared, that gorgeous galaxy was gone.

Replacing them was a piece of desperate, cold darkness!

And in that endless darkness, Sword Elder saw a scene that made his Divine Soul freeze!

Chains!

Endless, thick chains large enough to entwine stars!

They were not physical, but condensed from some supreme Dao Law, emitting an ancient, vicissitudinous, and inviolable forbidden Aura!

These chains spanned the starry sky, intertwined with each other, forming an unimaginable, heaven-covering net!

And the center of this huge net was none other than the planet under their feet — Blue Star!

More accurately, it had firmly sealed the entire Milky Way inside!

This was not a natural cosmic starry sky at all!

This was a cage!

A Seal array that was boundless and terrifying to the extreme!

"This... this is..."

Sword Elder's Divine Soul was trembling violently.

He had once seen Emperor array patterns, and had felt the pressure of Emperor artifacts.

But the Aura emitted from these Law chains before his eyes made him feel a sense of insignificance and fear from the depths of his Soul!

That level, that profundity...

"This is absolutely not something an Emperor could set up!"

"This kind of Law... I fear it is even above an Emperor!!"

"But how is this possible?!"

"This place... what kind of place is it?!"

"Why would it be sealed here by such a forbidden existence using such terrifying means?!"

Sword Elder was terrified beyond measure!

He instinctively wanted to withdraw his gaze, wanted to escape this Great Terror.

However, just at the moment his heart and mind were shaken.

The Law chains spanning the starry sky seemed to have sensed this ant peering at them.

One of the chains vibrated slightly.

Just this one time!

An invisible great power burst out immediately!

"Ah!!!"

Sword Elder let out a shrill cry of pain, his body was struck by lightning, and he flew backward violently!

His Soul body, which had already become much more solid, became extremely illusory at this moment, as if it would dissipate at any time!

And this sudden scene also caused the expressions of everyone present to change greatly!
