Chapter 80: The Edge of the Milky Way, the Sealed Milky Way (3/3)
When Xiao Xuan heard that, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
In the next moment, he waved a hand.
BZZZ!!!
A gigantic banner instantly appeared in the starry sky.
In an instant, the howls and wails of endless vengeful souls spread through vibrations rippling across space itself for hundreds of millions of kilometers.
At that moment, that stretch of the cosmos seemed to turn into hell itself.
“The Myriad Souls Banner? You actually refined something this good?”
When Mu Xiying saw the Myriad Souls Banner, she was not angry or shocked in the slightest. Instead, she seemed a little excited.
That was because the souls inside it did not belong to the human race, but to those alien races.
As time passed, more and more Subterranean Caverns had appeared on Earth.
And likewise, more and more alien races had emerged from them, growing stronger and stronger.
Nearly ninety-nine percent of those alien races were hostile to humanity.
As a result, all of them had been slaughtered by Xiao Xuan’s Shadow Demon Race.
Born from shadow itself, the Shadow Demon Race did not specialize in dealing with souls, but they could still capture souls with ease.
As their emperor, Xiao Xuan had only one demand of them: they were to offer all those souls up to him.
Over these four thousand years, the endless vengeful souls gathered within it had already raised the Myriad Souls Banner in his hand to the terrifying level of Thirteenth Rank, Mid Grade.
The reason he had not used it in battle earlier was simply because it had a greater use.
“This soul power is vast beyond measure, but it still cannot stand against that Evil God!”
“If I use it in battle, I would only be wasting it for nothing!”
“I might as well devour it now and use it to restore my Mental Power!”
Xiao Xuan explained to Mu Xiying.
“I never expected you to have planned all this so early!”
“But with this much soul power, if your soul talent were just a little stronger, then absorbing all of it might have been enough to let you break straight beyond the Supreme Realm, wouldn’t it?”
Even Mu Xiying was astonished.
“Perhaps. But breaking past the Supreme Realm is never that easy.”
“Once I reached the Peak of the Supreme Realm, I became completely stuck. Breaking through is just too difficult!”
Xiao Xuan let out a helpless sigh.
In the end, it was still because his talent was not enough. If he had possessed a Peak Dark Gold Talent, perhaps he might have broken through long ago.
“Yes. No matter what, with these soul reserves, we might really be able to leave the Milky Way!”
Mu Xiying nodded.
Xiao Xuan wasted no time. He opened his mouth wide and suddenly inhaled deeply toward the Myriad Souls Banner.
BZZZ!!
In an instant, endless souls poured into Xiao Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness like a flood.
His Soul Devouring trait began operating frantically. Its powerful devouring force directly crushed those souls into countless fragments, then refined them all.
At that moment, Xiao Xuan’s soul power began recovering at a terrifying speed!
In only a few minutes, his soul power had recovered completely.
As for the soul power he had stored, he had consumed only a drop in the ocean.
“Let’s go!!”
Xiao Xuan said nothing further. He directly activated Spatial Warp Technology and vanished from that stretch of starry sky with the spacecraft and Mu Xiying in an instant.
In order to shake off the black fog as quickly as possible, Xiao Xuan teleported madly.
He carried the spacecraft through the starry sky again and again at unbelievable speed.
At last, after several hundred teleportations and a journey spanning tens of thousands of light-years, they finally arrived at the edge of the Milky Way!
“We’ve finally reached the boundary! Beyond this lies the space outside the Milky Way. Too bad I have no idea where any other races are. Otherwise, I could replenish some souls!”
Xiao Xuan let out a helpless sigh.
“Xiao Xuan, do you feel it? Something about this place seems... wrong!”
Yet as she looked at the edge of the Milky Way, Mu Xiying frowned.
“Wrong?”
Xiao Xuan froze for a moment and turned his gaze toward the boundary.
His True Eye activated instantly.
BZZZ!!!
In an instant, the High Silver True Eye began scanning the surrounding starry sky.
And yet it found nothing unusual at all!
Even though he found nothing, Mu Xiying would never say something like that for no reason.
“Whether there’s a problem or not, let’s go over and take a look first!”
Xiao Xuan’s brows knitted tightly. Then he directly used teleportation, intending to cross over and test it.
BZZZ!!!
As teleportation erupted, he vanished from where he stood in an instant.
In the next moment, they appeared in an entirely new stretch of starry sky.
But in the very next instant, Xiao Xuan’s face darkened.
Because Gu Xuan’s voice came from inside the spacecraft.
“Brother Xiao, judging from the changes on the star map, this teleport only moved us three light-years!”
Xiao Xuan immediately checked his Mental Power.
It had all been exhausted!
“What is going on?”
Xiao Xuan’s expression turned grave. Could there be something wrong with the surrounding space, something that prevented him from teleporting out of it?
With that thought, he flew forward at great speed.
But in the very next instant, he felt as though he had plunged into an enormous swamp. Even moving a little was incredibly difficult!
It was not just him. Mu Xiying tried as well. Though she fared slightly better than Xiao Xuan, she still felt tremendous resistance.
And the farther forward they went, the more terrifying that resistance became.
Xiao Xuan refused to believe it. He teleported once more, but this time he only managed to move several tens of millions of kilometers!
And by relying on flight alone, they could barely advance even a step farther.
“Is this a domain? Or a formation?”
At that moment, Xiao Xuan became completely serious.
“What exactly is this? Does it only exist around this area?
“Or is the entire Milky Way covered by it?”
Mu Xiying’s tone grew grave as well.
If it existed only in this region, then at worst they could just try somewhere else.
But if the entire Milky Way was covered, then would that not mean they could never leave?
“No matter what, if we stay here, all that awaits us is for the black fog to catch up and erase us in the end.
“We might as well try somewhere else!”
Xiao Xuan drew a deep breath, then directly took Mu Xiying and the spacecraft with him and teleported in another direction.
After several dozen more teleportations, Xiao Xuan arrived at another boundary of the Milky Way, more than ten thousand light-years away from where they had been before!
Yet when he tried once again to fly out, he fell silent.
Because he discovered that the starry sky here was exactly the same as the boundary before. An invisible force covered this place as well!
Once they reached a certain point, moving even a single meter became as difficult as ascending the heavens.
Even using teleportation, they could not move a single meter beyond it.
“A galactic seal. The entire Milky Way has been sealed!”
At last, Xiao Xuan confirmed it completely. The Milky Way seemed to have been sealed shut.
The moment he said that,
Su Qingwu, Gu Xuan, and everyone else in the spacecraft’s control room were utterly stunned!
The entire Milky Way had been sealed. Just what kind of expert—or what kind of formation master—could possibly accomplish something like that?
“Xiao Xuan, what do we do now?! Is that Evil God still chasing us? If we can’t get out, then aren’t we just going to sit here and wait to die?!”
