220: Chapter 220 Starry Sky Beast

Within the Void Realm.

Ji Yebai sat cross-legged, flying continuously, as strands of golden immortal radiance emanated from his body.

Waves of Qi rose from his body, and Ji Yebai's speed grew faster and faster.

During this session of secluded cultivation, Ji Yebai's gains were immense.

Even while flying, he could feel the massive changes in his body.

Ji Yebai's Physical Body seemed to have evolved to a new level.

It was more sensitive, more extraordinary.

Now, sitting upright in the Void Realm and moving forward, Ji Yebai's speed continued to increase.

This place was different from the Solar System in the Void Land; the Universe here was normal and filled with energy.

The Universe in the Void Land lacked energy, so the upper limit of speed was the speed of light.

But here, the Universe was filled with energy; by continuously replenishing energy while flying, a cumulative effect on speed would occur.

In a normal Universe, faster-than-light travel existed.

As long as one accelerated and kept flying, their speed would increase until it reached or even surpassed the speed of light.

Only two factors limited speed: time and endurance.

Accelerating to the speed of light required a vast amount of time, and to withstand light-speed or even faster-than-light travel, one's endurance had to be extremely high.

This applied to both the bodies of those at the Saint Rank and to cosmic warships.

Now, Ji Yebai deeply felt the transformation of his body.

After ten years of secluded cultivation, continuously absorbing the power of the Great Sun's Flowing Fire, his body had begun to evolve once its energy reached saturation.

Now, he could clearly feel the difference in his body.

His body could even sense the hidden flow of energy within the Universe.

Especially as his acceleration increased and his body smashed through layers of radiation particles, he could perceive these subtle sensations through his body alone, without needing his Divine Sense.

And that wasn't all.

After his flesh and blood evolved, his vision improved once again.

When he opened his eyes, the Universe was no longer a void of darkness but was filled with various colors.

Various cosmic rays and starlight revealed their true nature.

Diverse colors and particles were clearly presented before Ji Yebai's eyes.

Furthermore, his visual range had also increased significantly.

Scenery millions of miles away in the depths of the Universe could be seen clearly.

The massive increase in physical sensitivity meant Ji Yebai's reaction speed was higher, and the improvement in his vision meant he could see much further.

Sensing this, Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

In cosmic travel, speed would keep increasing, perhaps even reaching the speed of light.

But the Universe was not a void; it was filled with various matter, planets, and dangers.

If one's vision couldn't keep up, they wouldn't be able to react in time to approaching dangers at high speeds.

Now that Ji Yebai's vision extended millions of miles, he could react and adjust his course even if he spotted danger.

Detecting targets in advance and avoiding them in time provided a massive boost to safety.

Everything in the Universe has its own gravity, and the strength of that gravity varies.

Although Ji Yebai could now move within a star's corona, it didn't mean he could act without restraint.

Celestial bodies more dangerous than the Great Sun were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

Such as black holes, white holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and so on.

The gravity of these celestial bodies was immense, and their range of influence was extremely vast.

It would be disastrous if one failed to detect the danger in time and plunged into the vicinity of these celestial bodies.

For the current Ji Yebai, the hazards of these celestial bodies were still beyond his limit of endurance.

Ji Yebai carefully felt the changes in his body.

His expression was one of excitement.

“Relying solely on my Physical Body, I can actually faintly grasp the fluctuations of the Law!”

Ji Yebai reached out and clenched his fist, a surging power coursing through his palm.

At this moment, he felt as if he could punch a hole through the very heavens.

A Martial Artist's strength is based on their body; with Ji Yebai's Physical Body evolving and reaching Perfection once more, his strength had more than doubled compared to ten years ago.

This was cultivation.

After stepping into the Nirvana Realm, every step was exceptionally difficult.

Yet each step also brought about earth-shaking changes in power.

Time passed second by second.

Ji Yebai's speed continued to increase.

Finally, Ji Yebai transformed into a golden light, merging into the flowing light of the cosmic stars.

His speed was now so fast it was impossible to track.

After traveling and accelerating all the way, he finally arrived at his destination.

Wormhole Gate No. 35129.

A small Wormhole Gate established within an asteroid belt.

The Universe was vast and boundless.

The Cosmic Union's ability to rule the entire Universe relied on various wormholes.

The establishment of wormholes greatly reduced the distances across the Universe.

True Essence surged.

The light around Ji Yebai's body diminished sharply, and his speed began to slow down gradually.

This deceleration was gradual; by the time Ji Yebai had slowed down completely, he had crossed a distance of over ten million kilometers.

According to the information provided by Gu Shan, there should be a wormhole here.

Number 35129.

However...

The asteroid belt was there, and the wormhole was there, but...

“Hmm!?”

Ji Yebai looked at the surroundings and slowly frowned.

“What's going on!?”

“Wasn't there a small squad stationed here!?”

Ji Yebai's eyes flickered with golden light as an immortal aura seeped out, and he scanned the surroundings.

After a moment, he finally locked onto a location.

It was an asteroid with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers.

With a flash, Ji Yebai appeared on the asteroid.

At this moment, the asteroid was riddled with cracks, as if it would shatter at any time.

And most crucially, a massive gap had appeared in the center of the asteroid.

On the edge of the gap, there were remains of equipment.

Ji Yebai hovered above the asteroid, looking down at it in some shock.

“A giant maw nearly a kilometer wide...”

Ji Yebai looked at the gap below and muttered to himself.

This wormhole was a small one and was not within a civilization, so the Cosmic Union had only sent a small squad to be stationed here.

But seeing the massive bite mark below, Ji Yebai knew that the small squad was likely doomed.

“Even the station was completely devoured; could it be that they encountered an Astral Behemoth!?”

Ji Yebai fell silent.

This station should have had a small base for the personnel to survive in, but now, all traces had vanished within this giant bite mark.

Only the legendary Astral Behemoths were of such immense size and could leave such marks.

Broadly speaking, the Universe was like a vast ocean, with the energy in the Void Realm as the seawater and the planets as islands.

Inevitably, there were fish living in that seawater.

These fish were the Astral Behemoths.

The size of an Astral Behemoth was absurdly large, and the destruction they caused was extremely severe.

Aside from certain technological energies, only those at the Saint Rank could deal any significant damage to an Astral Behemoth.

“Astral Behemoth...”

Ji Yebai's brow furrowed slightly.

A Behemoth's Lifespan was extremely long, and because of their massive size, they rarely relocated quickly.

Since traces of a Behemoth appeared here, there was a high probability that the creature was still around.

Just as he thought this, Ji Yebai's entire body stiffened.

A chill rose from behind him.

It was as if a greedy giant serpent had locked onto its prey.

Ji Yebai's heart immediately sank.
