Chapter 24 The Boundary Sea! The Tomb of the Gods, the End of the Silver Dragon
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise—
In the darkness, the faint outline of a silver dragon suddenly trembled!
"puff--!"
A blinding jet of blood spurted from the mouth of the silhouette in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the outline began to struggle and twist wildly.
It was as if they were enduring unimaginable pain.
The suppressed, painful roars of the dragon echoed intermittently before being quickly swallowed by the darkness.
"Ouch... Ugh..."
"What's going on?!"
"The Silver Dragon King is coughing up blood! She's struggling!"
"Even a half-step God-King can't withstand this? What kind of place is this?!"
The entire Douluo Continent exploded instantly.
Fear spread like a plague to every corner.
That's a half-step God King.
He is the king among the gods.
But as soon as he was teleported there, he was already severely injured, vomiting blood, and struggling in pain.
The sound from the sky was urgent and solemn for the first time.
[Warning! Basic enhancements and adaptations have been detected for the explorer 'Silver Dragon King'...]
[WARNING! An uncontrollable factor has occurred during this journey! The explorer 'Silver Dragon King' has deviated significantly from its intended landing point!]
[Loading information for the current dimension... Information stream too large... Loading failed!]
[Emergency environmental reconnaissance underway... Maintaining explorer vital signs is of highest priority!]
A series of urgent mechanical alarms struck everyone's hearts like heavy hammer blows.
Uncontrollable factors?
Coordinate deviation?
Information loading failed?
Highest level of life support?
Every word seemed ominous.
The next moment, an invisible light slowly swept across the surrounding darkness.
The light slightly dispelled the thick darkness.
The view below is revealed.
The first thing that catches the eye is a corpse.
A massive, mind-numbing corpse.
It floated silently in the boundless dark void, as if it had been dead for billions of years.
Its body is comparable to a vast star field.
Countless shattered stars, collapsed continents, and dried-up galaxies clung to its decaying bones and withered flesh like dust.
The corpse exuded an aura of utter decay and death.
Just seeing the outline made countless people feel dizzy and nauseous.
It was as if the very essence of life was being eroded.
"What...what is that corpse?!"
Someone screamed incoherently, their voice distorted.
Gu Yuena seemed to have "seen" the corpse as well.
She struggled even more violently, and the massive dragon body retreated frantically.
Although in this dark void, "retreat" seems pale and powerless.
Fresh blood kept seeping from her mouth, nose, and even the crevices of the dragon scales.
The corrupt, chaotic, and disordered power of laws emanating from the dark void and terrifying corpses is frantically eroding her soul and tearing her dragon body apart.
If it weren't for the light from the sky holding her up, she probably would have turned to ashes the moment she appeared.
The light from the sky continued to sweep further into the distance.
The image begins to zoom out and zoom in rapidly.
The next moment.
The entire Douluo Continent, hundreds of millions of people, along with the five God Kings of the God Realm Committee, were all struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning.
My mind went completely blank.
What did they see?
That boundless darkness was neither land nor sky.
It was a vast, boundless sea, with no beginning or end in sight...?
No.
That was no ordinary sea.
That was... a turbulent "ocean" formed by countless "water droplets".
Inside each "water droplet," one can vaguely see swirling galaxies, rising and falling continents, and flickering phantoms of the birth and death of civilizations.
Those were complete, vibrant, or desolate and dilapidated ancient realms, or rather, universes.
Each sweeping "wave" is composed of hundreds of millions of such universes.
They collided, squeezed, rubbed, and collapsed against each other in a frenzy.
This is hardly an "ocean".
This is clearly... the graveyard of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
It is the ultimate ruins formed by the accumulation and collision of countless cosmic debris.
[Ding! The map information for the current plane has been loaded.]
A magnificent sound echoed across the desolate Douluo Continent.
[Boundary Sea.]
[The ruins of countless realms, the final resting place of an era's destruction.]
Here, a single drop of water is a universe, a world.
The sound faded.
The image then shifts to a panoramic view.
A vast and boundless, terrifying ocean formed by countless ancient "water droplets".
An unknown corpse, larger than any star field, floats in the sea.
At the edge of the ocean, a small silver dragon, barely protected by the light of the sky, trembled and bled continuously.
A stark contrast.
Extreme insignificance and vastness.
An incomprehensible grandeur and terror.
...
Douluo Continent.
Countless people stared wide-eyed at this scene, as if their throats were being choked.
They had imagined what the world outside of Douluo Continent would look like—perhaps another starry sky, perhaps a sacred realm like the God Realm, or perhaps other similar worlds.
But to my utter surprise, it turned out to be like this.
Their world, their starry sky, the entire universe upon which this continent beneath their feet rests...
It was just a tiny drop of water in that vast ocean.
In that ocean, there are billions of identical "water droplets" floating.
It's too vast.
Everyone's heart feels like it's being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.
Wow... the world is so vast!
No, it should be that our vision is too narrow.
...
Wuhun City, the square in front of the Papal Palace.
"What...what is this?!"
Bibidon suddenly stood up from the papal throne.
The papal scepter in his hand slammed to the ground with a loud thud.
She was completely unaware, and just kept her head tilted back.
Those usually cold and majestic purple eyes were now wide open to the extreme.
Her lips parted slightly, and for the first time, all color drained from her face, leaving only shock and bewilderment.
The Boundary Sea... the ruins of all the heavens and myriad worlds...
Every word was like a red-hot branding iron, searing into her soul.
What was she pursuing throughout her life?
It is to avenge Qian Xunji, to take control of the Spirit Hall, to complete the Rakshasa God Trial, to unify the continent, and to trample all enemies underfoot.
But now, watching each "wave" being formed from the collision and annihilation of thousands upon thousands of universes...
Bibi Dong suddenly felt that her hatred, ambition, and struggles all along seemed so... insignificant on such a grand scale.
An indescribable sense of emptiness, mixed with an extreme feeling of insignificance, overwhelmed her instantly like a cold tide.
She staggered back a step, grabbing the cold armrest of the papal throne to steady herself.
...
The main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Bang!"
The usually wise and composed Ning Fengzhi was now slumped in the sect leader's seat, his face blank and bewildered.
Previously, he was calmly analyzing the danger level of Perfect World.
They considered how to contact, cooperate with, and even utilize that world, and how to seek benefits for their sect in this "divinely bestowed" opportunity.
But now?
The Boundary Sea? The Ruins of All Realms?
This is completely beyond the comprehension of the Douluo Continent civilization.
All his calculations, all his strategies, all his pride in his wisdom, were reduced to sandcastles built by a child in the face of such "reality," vanishing with the first wave.
"We...we are the Douluo Continent...or rather, this starry sky we inhabit..."
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, had a dry and hoarse voice.
"Really... just one of countless water droplets in that 'ocean'?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not answer, but stared blankly at the sky.
His hand, which had once been as steady as a rock, was now trembling slightly uncontrollably as he gripped the sword.
Finally, the Seven Kill Sword, which had accompanied him throughout his life of battles, clattered to the ground, its tip falling limply.
His lifelong pursuit of the "ultimate swordsmanship" was shattered before this boundless sea that had annihilated countless universes and obliterated countless civilizations...
What is the significance?
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, hundreds of millions of people gazed up at the sky.
They looked at the silver dragon struggling in agony and covered in blood in the picture, their eyes filled with pity and sighs.
"I thought that even if a half-step God King couldn't sweep across the entire world after going to another realm, he could at least become a powerful figure in his own right..."
"But the result was so unlucky, it was thrown directly into the outer reaches of the world..."
"Even the heavens can't save her?"
The murmurs rose in hushed tones, the previous gloating and fanatical greed gone.
Only the desolation of "the rabbit dies, the fox grieves" remains.
And at that very moment—
In the vast ocean, a "wave" was stirred up.
Those weren't real waves.
It is a destructive torrent formed by hundreds of millions of "water droplets" from the ancient world colliding, squeezing, and rubbing together under the influence of terrifying forces.
Rumble—!!!
A silent roar came through the sky—not a sound, but a tremor on the level of the soul.
Countless ancient realms shattered in the collision, bursting forth with a blinding light comparable to the Big Bang.
The light contained shattered laws, annihilated matter, and deathly still spacetime... forming a destructive torrent that swept across the void, heading towards the direction where Gu Yuena was.
There is no way to avoid it.
There was no escape.
Gu Yuena's dragon eyes reflected the all-destroying starlight, and the last glimmer of hope in her eyes was completely extinguished.
She was already seriously injured and was barely clinging to life thanks to the light from the sky.
But now...
An impact of this scale would wipe her out instantly, even if she were at her peak, let alone now that she is critically injured and dying.
"Am I really going to die here after all...?"
Gu Yuena closed her eyes, and the dragon body ceased its struggle.
She gave up.

Starry Sky Forest, Lakeside of Life
"My lord—!!!"
Di Tian let out a heart-wrenching roar.
He transformed into human form and knelt on the ground, gripping the soil tightly with both hands.
"I should have woken you up sooner... no, maybe it wouldn't have made any difference..."
Brigitte wiped away her tears, her pretty face streaked with tears, her voice choked with sobs:
"How could this happen... How could the heavens malfunction! Sending our lord to such a place... We must bring our lord back immediately!"
For the first time, she felt resentment towards "Sky Curtain".
The ferocious beast kings, including Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang, all had bloodshot eyes and roared to the sky.
"It must be those scum from the God Realm who did this!"
"They can't stand to see our Soul Beast race rise, so they deliberately used the Heavenly Canopy to harm our lord!"
"Damn humans! Damn gods!"
The roar was tinged with a deep sense of powerlessness.
