601: Chapter 601: The Boundary of the Universe, the Great Wall of Chaos

Chapter 601: The Edge of the Universe, The Chaotic Great Wall

Standing on solid ground.

A vast, ancient breeze, carrying the unique aura of Chaos, brushed against his face.

“This isn’t the Eternal Universe anymore!”

Lin Yu’s pupils contracted sharply.

He had been to the Chaos Sea before, and he recognized it immediately.

This also confirmed his belief that he had just been teleported.

Otherwise, there was no way they could have traversed half of the Southern Star Sea and arrived here in such a short amount of time.

Not even an Immortal Emperor of the Extreme Dao could do it.

He turned and looked back, his pupils contracting slightly again, uncontrollably.

Behind him, aside from the rolling Chaotic Qi, an indescribably magnificent “city wall” rose from the ground.

It stretched infinitely to the left and right, reaching the end of his sight, even disappearing into the Chaotic mist, as if encompassing the entire universe!

And on the city wall were several ancient characters—Chaotic Great Wall!

The Long Wall was entirely constructed from a strange, colossal stone that was neither metal nor jade, shimmering with a dim starlight. Each giant stone was as enormous as a mountain, its surface intricately carved with dense, continuously flowing, profound Dao patterns.

These Dao patterns intertwined to form a massive net of light covering the entire Long Wall, emitting a terrifying surge of energy.

Moreover, the net of light merged with the cosmic barrier, forming a massive realm barrier above the barrier.

What shocked Lin Yu even more was what was on top of the Long Wall.

Every several hundred thousand kilometers, a figure stood silently.

They wore standardized Star Battle Armor, their aura as profound as an abyss and as stable as a mountain, and they were all at the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Nailed firmly to the city wall like stakes, they leaned against the Chaos, their gaze fixed intently on the interior of the universe.

Their existence seemed to be an integral part of the Long Wall itself, merging with the massive sealing array covering the wall, exuding a suffocating aura of killing intent.

How could these be mere guards?

They were clearly the ultimate barrier locking down the entire universe!

Firmly locking the Eternal Universe within it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu instantly understood why no one in the starry sky could leave this universe.

If all Four Great Academies did this, then this Chaotic Great Wall would probably encompass the entire universe.

This was treating the Eternal Universe as a cage, preventing anyone inside from leaving.

With such a defensive system, who could possibly get out?

Those inside couldn't even break through that defensive barrier, let alone the Chaotic Great Wall guarded by Immortal Emperors beyond the barrier.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

This might not have much impact on ordinary cultivators.

But for those powerhouses in the Immortal Emperor Realm, this was truly a prison, unable to see what the outside world was like.

Perhaps, they now naively believe that it’s just their strength isn’t enough to break through the barrier.

The Four Great Academies truly kept this news tightly sealed.

Of course, this also made him realize that he was now completely on the Star Dao Academy’s ship, and the other party would not allow him to disembark.

Either become one of them, or... remain in Chaos forever!

However, he no longer cared about these things at this point.

Since he had made the choice, he knew this would be the situation.

He turned his head back and looked forward.

That is, the outer side of the Chaotic Great Wall.

There was nothing particularly unusual here, only a relatively “small” but still astonishingly large cluster of palaces.

These palaces had a rough and ancient style, lacking the exquisite splendor of the academy’s core, but possessing a sense of vicissitude and iron-bloodedness from enduring battles.

Figures constantly moved in and out here, and the vast majority were cultivators of the Immortal King Realm with formidable auras.

Occasionally, one or two Immortal Emperors with slightly weaker auras, clearly newly promoted, could also be seen.

They were in a hurry, carrying the killing intent from just returning from patrols on the edge of the Chaos Sea, or the solemnity of preparing to go to the front lines.

When Yuan Feng led Lin Yu and Luo Tian past, both the Immortal Kings and those newly promoted Immortal Emperors immediately stopped, respectfully bowed their heads, and then quickly retreated to the sides of the road, clearing the way.

Their eyes were filled with reverence for Yuan Feng, and also with curiosity and scrutiny towards Lin Yu and Luo Tian, these two unfamiliar faces.

“Don’t look anymore, from now on, you basically can’t go back!”

Yuan Feng ignored those who saluted, instead, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he explained to Lin Yu and the other, “These people are battle soldiers cultivated by the Academy, they come from other universes and can resist the erosion of Chaos. If you don’t meet the Dean’s requirements in the end, you might also become one of them!”

As he spoke, he didn’t pause at all, leading the two directly through this busy and solemn camp, walking towards the largest hall in the center of the palace complex.

Lin Yu scoffed inwardly upon hearing this, not taking it seriously at all.

If he hadn't seen the headquarters of the Star Dao Academy within the Chaos Sea, he might have actually believed it.

This guy said that, in fact, just to give them a warning, to make them revere the Star Dao Academy.

Kings of Fortune like them would absolutely not be thrown into a place like this.

That would be a waste of their talent.

The worst among them should be at the level of the armored soldiers in the headquarters' battleship, and it's even possible they could become the head of a battleship, an existence surpassing Immortal Emperors.

He could tell at a glance that these Immortal Kings were just doing odd jobs.

After all, minor crises would occasionally appear in the Chaos at the edge of the universe, requiring some odd-jobbers to deal with them.

Therefore, he let it go in one ear and out the other, completely unaffected.

Luo Tian, on the other hand, looked very solemn, appearing as if he wanted to say something but dared not.

He was clearly intimidated by the scene before him and Yuan Feng’s words.

Although he was extraordinary, he still felt an instinctive fear when seeing such a strange and eerie scene.

“This kid is truly strange, is there really nothing that can scare him?”

Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Lin Yu’s reaction.

This made him feel a sense of frustration.

He had never met anyone like Lin Yu before.

However, this troublesome problem should be left to the Dean; he was only accompanying them for this stretch of the journey.

Passing through the corridor, they quickly arrived at their destination.

Lin Yu looked up; this grand hall, compared to the surrounding buildings, appeared unusually simple, even… crude.

It had no magnificent decorations, no powerful energy fluctuations, only dusty stone walls, covered with mottled traces left by the erosion of time and the scouring of Chaotic Qi.

Its shape, inexplicably, reminded Lin Yu of those ancient Buddhist temples in the mortal world, where incense had ceased and which had endured long years of wind and rain.

The shape was very similar.

The heavy stone door opened silently, and a scent mixed with dust, incense, and ancient sandalwood wafted out.

The light inside the hall was dim, with only a few perpetual lamps flickering with faint light.

The furnishings were extremely simple, almost empty.
