According to the rules of the Starry Sky Universe, after death and entering the Netherworld, they could still enjoy a Netherlife identical to that of the Starry Sky Universe.
Of course, if their strength broke through further in the Netherworld, their Netherlife would naturally increase accordingly.
If they chose the second option, sealing themselves to slow down the passage of time, they would not be accepted by the Netherworld after death. Their souls would transform into blessings, returning to the beings of the Starry Sky Universe.
Moreover, it wasn't as if sealing oneself meant life would no longer flow.
Rather, the speed of its passage would be very slow.
Their lives would still drain away.
Therefore, when they sensed their lifespan was nearing its end, they would break their seals and absorb the life essence of all beings to extend their own lives.
At this point, they would transform from prodigies of humanity into Forbidden Lives.
Under normal circumstances, Forbidden Lives would choose to seal themselves in remote areas far from powerful territories.
On the life planets here, there were few experts above Emperor level, allowing them to smoothly absorb large amounts of life essence.
In fact, some experts on these planets would even reach agreements with the Forbidden Lives sealed in Forbidden Zones, allowing the Forbidden Lives to plunder the life essence of the life planets. This was solely so that when their own end approached, they could join the other party's Forbidden Zone and become one of the Forbidden Lives.
However, Forbidden Zones were not always safe.
Many Emperor-level experts, in the prime of their lives, would also attack Forbidden Zones, vowing to clear them out and bring peace to the Starry Sky Universe.
But their efforts were largely ineffective.
Generally speaking, unless Forbidden Zones were located on adjacent planets, there were virtually no experts above Emperor level who would attack Emperor-level Forbidden Zones.
This was because they themselves had to face Emperor-level Forbidden Zones.
This was a tacit understanding developed by the experts of the Starry Sky Universe over countless years.
Or rather, this was the last pride of the Forbidden Lives.
They were once the guardians of humanity. Even though they had eventually fallen into becoming Forbidden Lives, they still hoped someone would stand up to stop them.
Emperor-level Forbidden Lives would establish Forbidden Zones around planets guarded by Emperor-level experts.
Emperor-level Forbidden Lives would establish Forbidden Zones near planets guarded by Emperor-level experts.
It was the same for those above.
Perhaps the very first Forbidden Lives set an example for those who came after.
If any Forbidden Life did not adhere to this rule, then stronger human experts would come to teach them their place.
After all, the strongest Forbidden Zone Lord in the Starry Sky Universe was only at the Immortal King level.
At the Immortal Emperor level, one would begin to fuse with the Time Law, and their lifespan could reach one Yian Ji.
For them, participating in six thousand Universe Ranking Battles, with so many opportunities, as long as they survived, the rewards would be enough for them to grow into Hong Meng Beings and enter the Hong Meng Realm.
However, even the existence of Immortal King-level Forbidden Lives was a terrifying disaster for the myriad beings of the Starry Sky Universe.
After all, the more powerful a Forbidden Life was, the more life essence they required to extend their lifespan.
Typically, an outbreak by an Immortal King-level Forbidden Life would affect at least several nearby star fields.
Not to mention the beings whose life essence was directly plundered by the Forbidden Lives, even the collateral damage from the battles of Immortal King-level giants who came to stop the Forbidden Lives from hunting for life essence would destroy countless life planets.
...
"Enough, over the years, I've traveled through nearly a hundred Universes. I should go to the Hong Meng Realm to see my father and the others."
"However, before I leave, I'll do one last thing for the numerous beings in this Starry Sky Universe!"
As the Universe he had lived in the longest and was most satisfied with, Qin Shuang felt that before leaving, he should pacify some of the Forbidden Zones!
With this thought, Qin Shuang clenched his fist, and a layer of transparent white Jin appeared on his fist.
"Crack, crack..."
As the white Jin appeared on Qin Shuang's fist, the space of the Starry Sky Universe let out sounds of breaking under the immense pressure.
Dark Space Rifts flickered around Qin Shuang's Jin.
Then, Qin Shuang threw a punch.
"Boom!"
On this day, it was as if everyone in the entire Starry Sky Universe felt a powerful threat descending, and they involuntarily looked up at the sky.
Especially the experts at the Immortal Dao level and above, whose Spiritual Sense could already radiate throughout the entire Starry Sky Universe. They swiftly spread their Spiritual Sense, trying to ascertain what had happened.
Soon, their Spiritual Sense discovered Qin Shuang.
"It's him?"
"So it was him?"
"What does he want to do?"
The experts at the Immortal Dao level and above, who stood at the pinnacle of the Starry Sky Universe, might not be familiar with Qin Shuang, but they absolutely knew of his existence.
They did not know how long Qin Shuang had lived.
However, they knew that the Immortal Dao experts before them, and even the Immortal King Forbidden Lives in the Forbidden Zones who had lived for several Yian Jis, had no idea how long this mysterious figure had truly existed.
Regardless, it was said that the lords of the most ancient Forbidden Zones had all heard information about Qin Shuang from the lords of the ancient Forbidden Zones.
He was the strongest existence in the Starry Sky Universe.
He was an outlier, a powerhouse who could disregard the might of time.
It wasn't as if there weren't Immortal King-level behemoths who sought out Qin Shuang, hoping to obtain a method to disregard the might of time from him.
However, for those who were more polite, Qin Shuang would deign to acknowledge them and share some of his cultivation insights.
If he didn't want to bother with them, he would simply leave on his own.
As for those Immortal King behemoths who tried to use force, they all met a miserable end.
They were directly shattered by a single punch from Qin Shuang.
Even if they used divine power to recover their bodies, they would continue to shatter.
Until death.
For so many years, Qin Shuang had been able to roam the Starry Sky Universe peacefully not because he was gentle and kind to others, but because of his overwhelming strength.
However, what was this reclusive powerhouse trying to do now?
The cosmic tremors they sensed were from a punch Qin Shuang had unleashed earlier.
Now that Qin Shuang had finished his attack, they naturally had no idea what he intended to do.
But soon, they would know exactly what Qin Shuang had done.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
In their senses, the Forbidden Zones scattered throughout the Starry Sky Universe suddenly exploded, one after another.
Giant white fist imprints broke through space, descending directly above the Forbidden Zones.
The stars where the Forbidden Zones below the Immortal Dao level were located were directly blasted into *scraps*.
Naturally, the Forbidden Lives sealed within those stars also died under the attack of these white fist imprints.
The Forbidden Lives at the Immortal Dao level and above could react, and when the fist imprints descended, they could gather energy to resist.
Every Forbidden Life at the Immortal Dao level and above, although in their twilight years, this did not hinder their immense strength.
The Immortal Dao Law was supreme, and Immortal Dao powerhouses could spread their Supreme Laws throughout the entire Starry Sky Universe, then converge them in a certain place to form themselves.
It could be said that Immortal Dao powerhouses were everywhere.
However, generally speaking, Immortal Dao powerhouses would gather their Supreme Laws within their bodies to maintain their own strength.
If they spread their Laws throughout the entire Starry Sky Universe and encountered other Immortal Dao powerhouses who annihilated the Laws they had spread across the Universe, the strength of the Immortal Dao powerhouses would correspondingly decrease. If their Supreme Rules were annihilated, the Immortal Dao powerhouses would also die.
The Immortal Dao Forbidden Lives within the Forbidden Zones naturally possessed this ability.
Upon sensing the cosmic tremors, they quickly spread their Spiritual Sense and soon discovered Qin Shuang's attack.
Some, disbelieving their fate, directly gathered all their strength, attempting to shatter the giant fist imprints above the stars.
But in the end, under Qin Shuang's white fist imprints, their Supreme Laws were quickly shattered, and eventually, along with the stars they had transformed into Forbidden Zones, they turned to dust and vanished from the Starry Sky Universe.
There weren't many Immortal King-level Forbidden Zones, but there were still seven or eight of them.
After observing the fate of the Immortal Dao Forbidden Zones with their Spiritual Sense, they did not dare to underestimate the white fist imprints descending from the sky.
Kidding.
This was an attack launched by that reclusive powerhouse.
Although they didn't know why he was doing this, it was clear that if they couldn't withstand this blow, they wouldn't even have the right to question him; they would simply disappear into the cosmic expanse, serving as a warning to those who came later.
Every Immortal King was a powerful existence who had successfully comprehended the Space Law and fused it with their own Immortal Dao Supreme Law, existing on almost a different plane from Immortal Dao powerhouses.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
Powerful Laws surged from the Immortal King Forbidden Zones, and the space of the Starry Sky Universe trembled with their immense might.
"Boom!"
The Immortal King Laws collided with the white fist imprints, shattering space layer by layer like foam, unable to stop the descent of the fist imprints.
"Bang!"
The Starry Sky Universe gained a few more fireworks.
Seven Immortal King Forbidden Zones completely vanished from the Starry Sky Universe.
"This..."
Many Immortal Dao powerhouses who witnessed this scene were stunned.
They knew Qin Shuang was strong, but they had no concept of just how strong he was.
Now, with Qin Shuang's single strike, they finally understood.
This was a realm even more powerful than the Immortal Emperor.
For beings of that caliber, the distances within the Starry Sky Universe held no meaning whatsoever.
With a single punch, he annihilated eighty percent of all forbidden zones in the entire Starry Sky Universe.
The reason only eighty percent of the forbidden zones were destroyed by Qin Shuang was that all the destroyed forbidden zones had previously initiated "Dark Turmoil" and absorbed the life essence of all beings.
Those forbidden zones that had not yet initiated "Dark Turmoil" managed to escape this calamity.
"This is truly terrifying," the Immortal Dao powerhouses murmured after a long silence.
"However, this esteemed adult is quite reasonable."
Upon hearing this, others were taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Indeed, when this esteemed adult acted, he only targeted forbidden zones that had initiated "Dark Turmoil."
Forbidden zones that had not instigated Dark Turmoil were not held accountable.
"Sigh..."
Among the twenty-odd powerhouses at the Immortal Dao level and above, several let out sighs.
Simultaneously, a sense of relief washed over them.
Fortunately, they hadn't yet transformed themselves into forbidden zones.
Otherwise, they would likely have been part of today's reckoning.
Qin Shuang naturally noticed their Spiritual Senses.
However, he felt no displeasure.
Since he was about to leave the Starry Sky Universe anyway, he might as well let them witness it.
Speaking of which, Qin Shuang himself had observed many individuals from the Starry Sky Universe breaking through the Starry Sky Universe and entering the Primordial Space.
But this was his first time doing so personally.
Glancing around the Starry Sky Universe, a layer of white light emanated from Qin Shuang.
This was the "Jin Qi" that Qin Shuang had stimulated from his own body.
"Crunch, crunch..."
"Crunch, crunch..."
Under Qin Shuang's potent Jin Qi, the space around him could not withstand the power of the Jin Qi and completely collapsed.
Beyond the black Space Rift lay colorful spatial turbulence and a semi-transparent world barrier.
Clenching his fist, under the watchful gaze of numerous Immortal Dao powerhouses' Spiritual Senses, Qin Shuang's fist, radiating white Jin Qi, slammed fiercely against the world barrier.
"Boom!"
"Crack, crack..."
The barrier of the Starry Sky Universe cracked under Qin Shuang's attack.
Gray Hong Meng Qi poured in through these cracks, attempting to dissolve everything within the Starry Sky Universe.
However, before this Hong Meng Qi could unleash its power, it was absorbed and transformed by the even more potent Space-Time Power within the Starry Sky Universe.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With two more punches, Qin Shuang tore a hole more than a person tall in the cosmic membrane of the Starry Sky Universe. Endless Hong Meng Qi surged through this opening, threatening to engulf Qin Shuang like a tidal wave.
To the Immortal Dao powerhouses, this boundless Hong Meng Qi contained immense power.
They believed that even a trace of it would cause them significant harm.
If they were to be inundated by this terrifying torrent of Hong Meng Qi like Qin Shuang, they would have no chance of survival.
However, before Qin Shuang, this Hong Meng Qi was no different from ordinary water, posing no threat to him.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."
The Hong Meng Qi collided with the white Jin Qi surrounding Qin Shuang, giving rise to myriad small worlds, which were then popped like bubbles.
Against the flow of the Hong Meng Qi, Qin Shuang stepped out of the Starry Sky Universe, entering the Primordial Space.
After Qin Shuang departed the Starry Sky Universe, the world barrier he had shattered began to slowly mend.
The Hong Meng Qi that had flowed into the Starry Sky Universe was quickly absorbed and transformed by the Starry Sky Universe's Space-Time Power, giving rise to countless new stars.
A smaller portion was collected by powerhouses at the Immortal King level and above through various means.
Only Immortal Kings who had comprehended the Space Law and possessed spatial abilities were qualified to study Hong Meng Qi.
The Supreme Laws of Immortal Dao powerhouses would be instantly dissolved upon encountering Hong Meng Qi.
All the powerhouses understood that to break through the limitations of the Starry Sky Universe, one had to integrate the Space-Time Law into their own laws, create an inner world, and possess World Power to survive outside the Starry Sky Universe.
Situations like someone breaking through the Starry Sky Universe and allowing Hong Meng Qi from outside to enter were rare.
However, each occurrence shortened the time required for Immortal Emperor level powerhouses to create their inner worlds.
