Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246 Virtual Cosmos
"Virtual Cosmos?"
The mere utterance of this term piqued Ye Liuyun’s attention.
"Yes, the creator has stacked various spatial spaces to craft an environment that mimics the Extraterritorial Area," the Book Demon explained.
"And what’s the purpose of this Virtual Cosmos?" Ye Liuyun pressed further.
"Its main purpose is to acquaint you with the cosmic setting and to improve your spatial force somewhat. Nothing too significant," the Book Demon stated.
Not anticipating it to be so useless, Ye Liuyun was surprised.
"I thought the original master of this domain has remarkable spatial force," the Book Demon said. "Anyway, I think it would be good for you to begin adapting to the cosmic environment."
"At least it’s not completely useless!" Ye Liuyun conceded.
Under the Book Demon’s guidance, Ye Liuyun took his first step into the pitch-black void.
However, as soon as he entered, he experienced an overwhelming sensation of weightlessness and felt himself floating.
"Huh?"
YeLiuyun was surprised by it. Floating in the cosmos appeared to be possible even in the absence of advanced energy.
Nevertheless, he soon discovered that his actions were unanchored. His body seemed to float unsystematically. He was unable to move forward even when he tried to.
He then unleashed a burst of advanced energy into the dark void. However, the recoil merely pushed him slightly backward.
Moreover, the attack he launched didn’t travel far before it dissipated into nothingness.
"This is intriguing!"
He exclaimed, with his eyes gleaming with excitement. Without hesitation, he drew his Demon Slayer and swung it through the air. To his surprise, the sword intention remained unaffected in the vast expanse of the cosmos, allowing him to strike with remarkable reach.
However, when it came to moving or evading attacks, he had to rely on Spatial Force to navigate through the space.
This forced him to continuously harness his Spatial Force abilities, ensuring he could move freely within this cosmos realm.
As he ventured further toward the centre of this cosmic space, the pressure from the surrounding void intensified, posing a great threat.
To counter the space compression, he used his Spatial Force to encase himself in a protective barrier.
Because of this, his spatial energy rapidly depleted, and he was forced to retreat.
"Couldn’t even last half an hour!"
Ye Liuyun muttered, calculating the time he had managed to endure in the cosmos.
Undeterred, Ye Liuyun repeatedly returned to this virtual cosmos to train and enhance his Spatial Force.
Under the relentless cosmic pressure, his Spatial Force rapidly improved, soon allowing him to break through the ninth layer of the cosmos with ease.
But that wasn’t the end of it. He was so committed to becoming an expert that he forced himself to spend more time each day in the virtual Cosmos.
He even tested his antique Devil Clan armour and the black gold-plated armour, discovering that while both offered similar defensive capabilities, the black gold armor provided greater mobility in the Virtual Cosmos.
Additionally, he noticed that the range of his Alora crystal cannon was significantly reduced in this environment. "If I’m to use the Alora crystal cannon in space, I’ll have to seriously upgrade it," he thought.
He promptly shared his thoughts with Tong Xin, his trusted companion.
Tong Xin had been thinking about the intricate design of the Alora crystal cannonc used by battleships in military engineering. It wasn’t until Ye Liuyun’s reminder that he grasped the fundamental principle of the design.
Military engineers had already come up with a solution by using Alora crystals to filter the crystals’ energy before blasting. This would address the problem.
Inspired by Ye Liuyun’s insight, Tong Xin and his crew scrapped their earlier plans to cut corners in the battleship’s blueprint. After all, there was a huge difference between their environment and the Virtual Cosmos.
Since then, Tong Xin often consulted with Ye Liuyun concerning the conditions of the Virtual Cosmos, which could greatly aid his effort in building the battleship.
Through relentless practice, Ye Liuyun finally reached the core of the Virtual Cosmos. The immense Spatial Compression nearly crushed him.
At first, he could only enter briefly to get a short glimpse inside before retreating immediately. However, he was now able to survive for a whole day in the most intense spatial compression as his Spatial Force grew stronger.
Soon, his Spatial Force had finally reached its peak.
The Book Demon confirmed to Ye Liuyun, “You can try to break out of the God Realm’s boundary and explore outside.”
Still cautious, Ye Liuyun continued practicing in the simulated Virtual Cosmos until he could withstand the pressure for three full days. Only then did he decide to leave the secret realm and attempt to break through the God realm’s constraints.
To prevent any unanticipated mishaps, Ye Liuyun brought everyone out of his Spatial World before attempting the feat.
He continued by charging the ninth and last barrier in the abyss. He laboured nonstop for an entire month before he finally cracked it.
Before he could take a breather, his body was hit with the most intense Spatial Compression he had ever endured the second he broke through.
It was the most intense spatial compression he had ever experienced in the virtual cosmos.
“Why is this different from the simulated Virtual Cosmos?” Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon.
“The Virtual Cosmos was just a simulation,” the Book Demon explained. “The Spatial Compression you experienced in it was only meant to give you a taste of the varying pressures in the real cosmos. In reality, the closer you are to a land or a planet, the stronger the spatial compression will be. The farther you are from such places, the weaker it gets.”
As Ye Liuyun stared into space, he said, "So that’s how it is." The vastness of the universe, lit only by distant planets and landmasses, was overwhelming. He struggled with his curiosity but finally chose to retreat."
He knew he wasn’t strong enough yet to venture that far. It was better to focus on honing his Spatial Force and take things one step at a time.
The boundless void was fraught with peril. If his Spatial force were to deplete, he’d be stranded in such abyss, without hope of return.
Moreover, he was utterly disoriented in the vast emptiness. He needed a map or guidance to navigate the expansive celestial.
Moreover, he was utterly disoriented in the vast emptiness. He needed a map or guidance to navigate the celestial expanse.
Careful notation of the names of the planets and continents filled the map.
The island Ye Liuyun found himself on was called Outpost Island.
"So, the God Realm is just the Outpost Island?"
He muttered to himself with a hint of resignation in his voice.
This place, which he had strived so hard to reach, turned out to be nothing more than a mere colony of a larger planet, bearing a name that was obviously an afterthought.
Just as Ye Liuyun resolutely decided to return for his cultivation, his Golden Phantom Eyes beheld a faraway warship making its way towards a small continent.
His Golden Phantom Eyes, a significant advantage in the void, allowed him to glimpse places far away without obstruction.
It was unmistakably a warship of a foreign race.
Cross-referencing his map, Ye Liuyun realized that the location they were heading to was the true battleground of the foreign race.
"The foreign races are reinforcing their troops!"
Ye Liuyun’s heart stirred with urgency, and he swiftly returned to the God realm.
Judging by the scale of the warship, it was at least capable of carrying a hundred thousand troops.
Upon his return, he immediately issued an urgent memo, urging all martial practitioners to hasten themselves to the foreign race battlefield simulation. On the other hand, he urged everyone now engaged in the foreign race battlefield simulation, particularly those at the ninth stage of cultivation, to quickly move to the actual foreign race battlefield to lend a hand.
Without hesitation, he dispatched 3,000 warriors in the early to mid-stage of the ninth level to reinforce the foreign race’s battleground.
Inspired by his actions, many other martial practitioners made their way to the actual foreign race battlefield. martial practitioners of other realms enthusiastically flocked to the trial battlefield as well.
