Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7257

Chapter 7170: One Hundred Million Light-Years

Time flowed slowly as Li Tianming and his companions continued their journey through the boundless darkness.

So far, they hadn’t encountered any ancient demons crossing the Void River, and everything was progressing smoothly.

Of course, Li Tianming had slightly slowed his pace, allowing for some leeway should they encounter any unexpected events.

The anchoring butterfly that Jiang Feiling had given Li Tianming before their departure had already been placed in a corner of the cabin.

This meant that the anchor point that could transport them was essentially moving with Li Tianming; wherever the starship went, it would follow.

In the pitch-black environment of the Void River, ten years passed quickly.

Then, Li Tianming began to see some light ahead on the image map—a sign that they had escaped the Void River.

Wherever there was light and cosmic rays, they had left the void.

But this light was blackish-red!

As far as Li Tianming could see, there was an endless blackish-red world!

Terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, seemingly filling the entire universe.

This demonic energy was the culprit that turned this area blackish-red!

Here, the starry sea, which should have shone with dazzling light, was now stained blackish-red by the demonic energy. Compared to the other side of the Void River, it was like a completely different world!

This was the true stronghold of the ancient demons within the entire Heavenly Emperor’s territory—the Demon Nest!

“It seems we’re almost out of the Void River,” Lin Xiaoxiao said, seemingly in a good mood as she looked at the scene before her.

Wu You also ran over, lying in front of the Illusion Whale’s cabin, watching the gradually changing scenery with a hint of anticipation in its eyes.

This environment, needless to say, was absolutely perfect for their cultivation; otherwise, the largest ancient demon clan within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory wouldn’t be here.

As the Illusion Whale completely left the Void River, the entire panorama of this world was revealed to everyone.

Upon seeing this enormous star system, Sui Shenyao exclaimed in amazement, “This Demon Nest is actually the same size as the Li Clan Star System!”

“It’s normal for a level six star system to be like this, but what’s even more terrifying is that such a vast territory almost entirely belongs to the Primordial Demon race!” Aurora said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

“To achieve this unparalleled dominance, the Primordial Demons’ unique ability to survive and reproduce in harsh environments is indispensable. Moreover, with their power dominating the entire level six star system, this race is also extremely united, which will be a terrifying force,” Li Tianming said with a slightly solemn expression.

Aurora nodded, “This is perhaps why even the Li Clan Imperial Clan found it difficult to invade the Demon Nest and completely eradicate the Primordial Demons within…”

As the Illusion Whale continued to venture deeper, everything they could see was a torrent of incredibly violent cosmic rays and Dao spirits.

A star system on the verge of extinction might have abundant resources, but ordinary people are not fortunate enough to enjoy them.

Even without direct contact, the mere observation of these cosmic rays was enough to send chills down one’s spine; ordinary cultivators simply couldn’t survive in such an environment.

Once the Phantom Whale truly entered the Demon Nest and gained a wider view, everyone was finally able to see the entire galaxy’s ‘Demon Nest Giant Source’!

The scene before them already astonished Sui Shenyao and the others, and in the direction of the Demon Nest Giant Source, there were even more terrifying and violent cosmic rays, along with numerous Dao Spirit Storms!

This entire Demon Nest Giant Source was like a furnace that had condensed the energy of the entire galaxy, releasing cosmic rays in all directions as it surged and burned.

The Eternal Giant Source naturally formed a Tai Chi pattern, while the Demon Nest Giant Source was a huge, blazing sphere!

Just looking at this scene was enough to feel a wave of heat wash over you.

Unlike the balance and stability of Tai Chi, this Demon Nest Giant Attractor seemed to be born for destruction. This sphere, burning with crimson flames, would occasionally explode, stirring up countless cloud storms, further exacerbating the imbalance of the Dao Disaster and emitting cosmic rays of extreme destructive power.

All of this was witnessed by Li Tianming and the others, leaving them in awe.

“This Demon Nest Giant Attractor is at least a hundred million light-years in diameter!” Aurora exclaimed, looking at the scene before them. “Its size is even larger than the ‘Eternal Giant Attractor’ of the Li Clan Galaxy!”

Li Tianming gazed ahead and said, “After all, the Demon Nest Giant Attractor existed for a much longer time. Although it has lost its gravity now, it has attracted enough galaxies over countless years. The Eternal Giant Attractor is still growing, and it will likely surpass the size of the Demon Nest Giant Attractor in the future, but that may be a matter of endless ages.”

Of course, having arrived at such a place that almost redefined human understanding, everyone was observing from within the real universe.

At this moment, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao were roughly the same size in the real universe, both around twenty trillion meters.

Lin Xiaoxiao, at the Heavenly Venerable level, was already considered a master within the Heavenly Emperor’s map, even capable of single-handedly conquering some weaker ninth-level star systems.

However, in this vast and boundless Demon Nest, she and Li Tianming were still as insignificant as specks of dust within specks.

Seeing this, Li Tianming couldn’t help but sigh, “Just how far must an individual cultivate to not appear so insignificant in the universe?”

The answer to this question might require endless years of cultivation to arrive.

Not only them, but even the Phantom Whale was now appearing tiny in comparison.

In this vast universe, the Phantom Whale, large enough to be a paradise for companion beasts, was merely a speck of dust…

Currently, they were only at the very edge of the Demon Nest. Li Tianming continued to control the Phantom Whale, flying into it, towards the true Demon Nest.

And what they sought might be within this Demon Nest itself.

Looking at the abundant and violent cosmic rays along the way, Li Tianming couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Using the Heaven-Stealing Light and Heaven-Piercing Finger in a place like this must be incredibly powerful, possibly even surpassing the effects at the Heavenly Emperor Sect!”

“How about… we go out and experience it for ourselves?” Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then added, “I also want to try it out and see how this environment feels to me.”

“Sure, let’s go take a look.” Li Tianming glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly.

So, the two of them emerged from the spaceship and stood on the surface of the Illusion Whale.

At this moment, Li Tianming was surprised to find that his feet were hidden by an illusionary array.
