In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 1398 - 536: The universe returns to ruins! Upon seeing Huang Kong, all becomes void! Fate
Chapter 1398: 536: The universe returns to ruins! Upon seeing Huang Kong, all becomes void! Fate
In the deep void, as vast as the nearby Cultivation Star, sat the Universe Daoist, meditating amidst the starry sky.
He was clad in a deep black-violet robe that mirrored the colors of the starry sky, adorned with various mysterious patterns. Wrapped around his waist was a cold, gleaming scale belt. The muscles beneath his robe bulged prominently, his features were rustic, exuding a rough yet resolute temperament.
At this moment, he turned his head towards Chen Dengming, his gaze brilliant as suns and stars. The will in his eyes exerted such a tremendous pressure that even the current Chen Dengming felt overwhelmed, especially by the circular mark on his forehead between his brows. It seemed to be filled with a mysterious power that set one’s heart trembling.
Seeing the most mysterious and ancient Supreme Daoist of the New Realm, Chen Dengming felt the other’s Dao Force was as unfathomable as the universe itself, yet it curiously gave him a sense of safety. Without any tension or guard, he breathed deeply, bowed, and said, “Universe Daoist!”
“No need for such formalities. Ever since I reached the pinnacle of my cultivation, I have been lost. It was not until I discovered your existence that I understood the nature of my perplexity.”
The voice of the Universe Daoist was like a booming bell. As he spoke, he stood up, causing the nearby Cultivation Star to suddenly shrink in stature, unable to compare with his colossal form. The surrounding stars seemed to dull, obscured by his vast silhouette.

Chen Dengming only felt as though the chill from the universe had disappeared in an instant, blocked by the immense figure of the Universe Daoist opposite him.
However, at this moment, the sensory changes in temperature and light became secondary. What mattered more were the secrets the Universe Daoist was about to reveal.
Chen Dengming, with a look of strange curiosity, asked, “Universe Daoist, what has puzzled you all along?”
The Universe Daoist gazed into the distance, saying, “I shall answer your question later. First, come with me to witness the current state at the edge of the Universe, and you will gain a clearer understanding of this world.”
As he spoke, he extended a rough and enormous hand towards Chen Dengming.
With a thought, Chen Dengming floated over, landing between the fingers of the Universe Daoist’s hand, vast as continents. The intersecting lines on his palm were like valleys and gorges, emitting an ancient and weathered aura, as vast as the sea and fields.
The Universe Daoist said nothing, taking bold strides into the starry sky. Each step rippled through the stars, behind which followed curtains of wild fluctuations, revealing rapid shifts in spatial scenery.
After his fourth step, the ripples beneath the Universe Daoist’s feet condensed into a point, and the violently fluctuating curtains froze suddenly, then tore apart abruptly.
The ripples dispersed in an instant.
The figures of the Universe Daoist and Chen Dengming vanished within the ripples of the starry sky.
The very next moment.
When the two reappeared, they had arrived within a starfield on the very edge of the Universe Starry Sky.
Before them lay a black hole that seemed boundless and infinitely large, exuding a terrifyingly immense suction force.
Upon arriving here, Chen Dengming immediately felt all light, matter, breath, and energy around him – including his own thoughts, strength, body, and gaze – being irresistibly drawn away toward the black hole.
He was taken aback by the sudden occurrence and firmly controlled his entire being with a strong will, uttering a low shout.
“Stasis!”
His body immediately froze in place.
Even so, Chen Dengming was startled to find that the Dao Force bound by his Stasis Technique was draining away at an alarming rate, as if flowing into the boundless darkness not far ahead.
Yes, flowing, not being sucked away.
It was as if the universe itself had torn open a great maw, with vast amounts of universal energy flowing into it, rather than the maw exerting suction.
Fortunately, the boundless great gaping maw seemed to be constantly moving further away. In just a few moments, what was once a near and boundless darkness had blinked away into the distance, speeding away still.
And where the boundless darkness once was, the space rapidly transformed into a calm, stark starry sky, as if a vast curtain of darkness had been drawn, revealing another layer of a stellar wall.
Seeing this phenomenon, Chen Dengming’s mind flashed with a theory from his past life in that other world, before he traversed through time – the universe is expanding at a speed faster than light at all times!
And its expansion is also its vanishing; the universe too has a lifespan, destined to collapse and perish one day!
Could it be that even the current universe cannot escape such a fate?
“This is the edge of the Universe…”
The voice of the Universe Daoist suddenly came through, explaining to Chen Dengming, “The edge of the Universe is always extending and expanding towards the far reaches. However, whenever the Ancient Calamity erupts, the expansion of the Universe’s edge will accelerate faster. In fact, this is also the origin of the Calamity’s explosive force.
The expansion of the edge of the Universe leads to the birth of calamitous energies. When these energies accumulate to a certain level, it results in a great disaster sweeping through the universe. And when this great disaster occurs, the expansion pace of the Universe’s edge will increase even more! They are interlocked!”
Chen Dengming frowned, “Are you saying that the Ancient Calamity arises from the universe? If we eliminate the Ancient Calamity, can we slow the pace of the expansion of the Universe’s edge?”
Looking towards the almost invisible dark edge in the distance, the Universe Daoist nodded, “In theory, it is so. Yet compared to the universe, ten thousand years are but a moment. The next Ancient Calamity will be even more ferocious, until the entire universe utterly perishes.
