Chapter 323 -323-Chaos Star Sea, the Fallen Land
Aside from that, the great Sacred Art, Celestial Grasp, was also extremely compatible with Daniel, as if it had been tailor-made for him.
This Sacred Art allowed him to bring his endless Strength to its fullest potential, like carving out a channel through which an entire ocean could finally pour.
Without Celestial Grasp, Daniel could still instantly kill a low-grade sage. However, when facing a mid-grade sage, it would have been slightly less clean and satisfying.
It would be like cutting flesh with a blunt blade—messy, slow, and lacking decisiveness. It would have been even more impossible for him to easily severely injure a high-grade sage.
But with this great Sacred Art, he could slap a mid-grade sage to death with a single palm and effortlessly beat a high-grade sage half to death without the slightest delay.
Daniel withdrew his gaze and turned around, flying back to the Imperial Bow Ark.
Behind him, the void was deathly silent. Only the shattered remnants of sage ranks and the wreckage of Starships floating in the star sea remained, silently recounting the one-sided massacre that had just taken place.
Daniel flew toward the nearby trade Starship that belonged to Windrest World.
The powerhouses aboard had already been completely wiped out during the previous battle. At this moment, the entire ship was empty, leaving only a cargo hold packed full of goods.
The trade Starship had become ownerless property.
Without expending the slightest effort, Daniel had obtained a merchant ship for free.
The Council of the Gods had busied themselves for so long, but in the end, everything they had done had merely served to make wedding clothes for Daniel. All of it had benefited him instead.
Daniel opened the Starship’s cargo hold and pocketed all the goods inside.
[Ding! You have obtained Origin Crystal ×300,000 cubic units!]
[Ding! You have sold Origin Crystal ×300,000 cubic units to the Doom Guild for 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost!]
"Quantity boost!"
[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 gold coin! You have obtained Origin Crystal ×30,000,000,000 cubic units!]
"Not bad."
Listening to the system notification ringing in his ears, Daniel’s lips curved slightly upward.
The top-tier currency of the Endless Starsea was Origin Crystal.
Back then, his entire net worth combined had only been worth 1 cubic unit of Origin Crystal.
And the wealthiest high-grade sage he had killed just now had only possessed a total fortune of 1,150 cubic units.
Yet this one Starship alone was worth 300,000 cubic units. It was clear that this harvest was indeed substantial.
"This Starship can’t be wasted either."
As Daniel spoke, he took away the Starship as well.
In the treasury of Gold Holy Mountain, exchanging for a Starship of this level would cost several thousand points.
And if he exchanged it back to Gold Holy Mountain, he could at least earn more than one thousand points!
...
Daniel returned to the Imperial Bow Ark.
"Break the boundary!"
He immediately activated the Imperial Bow Ark’s boundary-breaking trait, easily tearing apart the low-grade no-flight formation set up by the Council of the Gods. Then, he continued traveling through the starry sky.
Aside from the Voidbound Grail possessing the ability to break boundaries, the Imperial Bow Ark also possessed boundary-breaking power.
Daniel did not take a no-flight formation of this level seriously at all.
Unless he encountered some truly top-tier no-flight method, it would not cause him any real trouble.
"Divine-grade secret treasures related to space-time laws are all extremely precious in the Endless Starsea."
Daniel thought to himself.
"It is only because I possess the Millionfold Boost system and have an almost limitless foundation that I can own such a treasure!"
"Even among peak Divine-grade powerhouses, not everyone can take out something like this."
The Imperial Bow Ark continued its voyage.
After some time, it finally arrived at the Budelica starfield.
Along the way, he did not encounter any more kind-hearted people like the Council of the Gods.
The journey was smooth and peaceful, and he arrived safely.
Daniel canceled the Imperial Bow Ark’s spatial leap function and slowly sailed through the starry sky of the Budelica starfield.
"Dustin, James, Mosi—long time no see!"
...
Sacred Guard World.
The Imperial Bow Ark hovered above the plane of Sacred Guard World.
At this moment, countless Starships had already gathered here like stars surrounding the moon, densely suspended in the void.
Within the plane, countless powerhouses were also flying out one after another.
Whoosh—!
The Imperial Bow Ark transformed into a streak of light and dissipated.
At the same time, Daniel and Camille appeared out of thin air in the void.
"Sacred Guard World..."
Daniel sized up the grand and magnificent plane before him.
Sacred Guard World was an open great world. It was also the most prosperous great world for trade in this galaxy.
Calling it a super trade hub would not be an exaggeration.
This was the meeting place Daniel had agreed upon with Dustin, James, and Mosi.
"Let’s go in."
Daniel said to Camille.
Camille’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
...
Inside a luxurious hall somewhere in Sacred Guard World.
Daniel, Camille, Dustin, James, and Mosi—
Five quasi-sages had gathered together.
Half a year had passed, but everyone’s appearance and aura had not changed much at all, as if those six months had been nothing more than the blink of an eye.
At this moment, they were discussing how to head to the Chaosverse.
That was because the Astral Realm was located precisely within the Chaosverse!
Dustin slowly looked around at everyone. Starlight reflected in his eyes, which were deep as the night sky.
He leaned forward slightly.
"Between universe and universe, there is still a vast and boundless ’star sea’!"
James leaned against his stone chair, the corners of his mouth lifting into a knowing smile.
"I know that too."
He said softly, his tone carrying a trace of leisure.
"The ’star sea’ is merely another name for the Chaos Sea. The major universes are separated by the Chaos Sea. Universes are like islands scattered across a vast ocean, gazing at one another from afar, yet divided by an abyss that cannot be easily crossed."
Dustin nodded approvingly.
"That’s right."
He stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.
"No one knows exactly how vast the Endless Starsea truly is, because the Chaos Sea is almost boundless. Its end is hidden in a corner forgotten even by time itself."
"The major universes known today are nothing more than an insignificant corner of this endless ocean, like a few unremarkable grains of sand on a beach."
He paused for a moment. His gaze turned toward the deep night sky outside the hall, and his tone became solemn.
"There were even great Oracle-grade beings who once attempted to explore the boundaries of the Endless Starfield!"
"Across countless eras, countless great Oracle-grade beings advanced one after another like moths flying into a flame. But they still failed to uncover the answer. Instead, they were buried in the depths of the star sea, in that deathly region known as the ’Fallen Sea.’"
"That place is piled with the bones of countless pioneers. Every skeleton silently tells of the cruelty of the star sea."
Dustin turned around. A bitter smile hung on his lips as he continued.
"The star sea is not only boundless, but also filled with danger. It shows no mercy to any intruder."
"Only powerhouses above peak Divine-grade can physically cross that Chaos Sea!"
"Ordinary sages simply cannot withstand the ’Chaotic Essence’ within the star sea, which is powerful enough to corrode the soul and tear apart consciousness."
Hearing this, Daniel felt stormy waves surge through his heart.
Unimaginable!
Even supreme beings like great Oracle-grade powerhouses could not finish exploring the star sea?
Instead, they could even fall within it?
This was simply too inconceivable!
However, Daniel was not completely ignorant.
He knew that the difficulty of physically crossing the star sea was no different from a mortal climbing a tower that pierced the heavens with bare hands.
Only powerhouses above peak Divine-grade possessed such strength and qualifications.
Otherwise, it was no different from courting death.
In lighter cases, they would fall into a dazed and muddled state, becoming lost forever in the endless Chaos Sea, unable to find their way back.
In more serious cases...
The Fallen Sea, piled high with the corpses of countless Oracle-grade beings, was a living example!
It was like a silent tombstone, warning every latecomer.
The deeper one ventured into the star sea, the more dangerous it became.
Even powerhouses above peak Divine-grade only dared to linger around its outer region.
They were like travelers testing the edge of an abyss, never daring to take even half a step deeper!
