Chapter 972: The Floating Dimension (1/2)

In the depths of the starry river.

A sea of grayish-brown clouds that stretched as far as the eye could see were floating slowly.

Pieces of land could be seen floating over the vast sea of clouds, while a continent that was incomparably vast was floating underneath it.

That continent was even more vast than the entirety of the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Stars that had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years were scattered in the region. Perhaps certain living beings had lived on them once, but all of them had left a very long time ago.

Compared to the vast bottom continent, those dead stars were dozens of times smaller.

At first, the continent had been a super-large-scale realm that could channel energies from the starry river to sustain itself.

Since Star Behemoths were as colossal as medium-scale realms, only realms this large would be able to contain them.

Gazing down at it, one could see that large areas of the floating continent were covered in a black sea.

On vast lands, there were mountains ranges, lakes, dense forests, scorching deserts, and snow-capped mountains.

Meanwhile, a large number of islands dotted the boundless black sea like stars.

At this moment, a large island in the middle of the sea suddenly quaked, giving rise to loud rumbles.

A small mountain peak shook especially violently.

As cracked rocks rolled down the mountain peak, it lost its disguise.

A palace of the same scale as the ones in the Realm of Split Void and the Realm of Shattered Earth gradually revealed itself.

The spatial fluctuations it emanated grew increasingly strong.

Dazzling starlight started to shine over the palace, with small sparks swimming around.

Inside the palace, Nie Tian and many others streamed out of an activated ancient teleportation portal.

The palace’s heavy stone gate, which had remained closed for many years, suddenly opened wide. Nie Tian was the first to walk through it. Taking a deep breath, he looked skywards, and said, “It’s hard to believe that I’m here again so soon.”

The sky was filled by a sea of grayish-brown clouds, with terrifying splitting auras coming from the depths of it.

An enormous vortex could be vaguely seen stretching up into the grayish-brown clouds in the distance, connecting the bottom continent with the top continent like a heavenly ladder.

There was spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on the floating continent. However, since it had been badly damaged, the intensity of the spiritual energy was far inferior to that in the Realm of Fragmentary Star.

Dong Li suddenly appeared from behind Nie Tian, taking a sniff of the air, as if to recollect memories from the past. “Here we are, again.”

Saint domain experts, including Jing Feiyang, Quan Zixuan, and Qu Mingde, walked through the palace gate, followed by Yue Yanxi, Jiang Feng, Dou Tengshang, and other Void domain experts from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

One immense soul awareness after another raised strong fluctuations that spread in all directions.

Moments later, Jing Feiyang and the others couldn’t help but marvel.

“This continent is indeed vast beyond measure!”

“This floating continent isn’t recorded in the records of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries or the Domain of Heaven Python.”

“This place must be worth exploring. Even combined, the three Lizardman realms aren’t even one-tenth as vast as this continent. No wonder it’s a super-large-scale realm.”

In a soft voice, Nie Tian said, “This used to be a super-large-scale realm that was rich in natural and cultivation resources. However, a great war broke out between the Demons, Phantasms, Fiend, and Ancientbeasts. The top continent was destroyed. Pieces of it crashed into the bottom continent, reshaping it to what it is today.”

Dong Li pursed her lips into a smile and chimed in, “In another six months, we’ll finish mining the resources in that Lizardman realm. I didn’t expect that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace would arrange for you to come to a new blessed land before we’re finished over there.”

“I know what you’re thinking,” Nie Tian said with a serious face. “But no. We’re not here to explore and gather spiritual materials from this floating continent. Our mission is to find the intruding outsiders, and then kill them or expel them. And we’ll need to destroy any spatial rift or teleportation portal that connects their realm to this one.”

As for the Star Behemoth, since Mo Heng had told him not to tell anyone, he kept it to himself.

He only told the others that this floating continent belonged to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. Now that it had been invaded by a group of outsiders led by a ninth grade grand patriarch, his sect had asked him to take care of them.

As the others discussed plans, Nie Tian flew to the coast on his Star Boat.

Gazing at the boundless black sea, he mixed his soul awareness with power from his star souls, and spread it deep into the sea.
