Chapter 580: Just How Big Is This World?
"The number of foreign race experts is far beyond imagination?"
Lian Yuezhou's expression tightened.
Over the long ages, the foreign races' understanding of the Canglan Realm's strength could be said to have long been thorough. The reason they hadn't completely invaded the Canglan Realm was because of the existence of the nine Supreme Experts and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array.
Of course, there was another reason: the foreign God King could not send all the foreign race experts in at once. He needed to do it in batches and over time, and he also couldn't make the foreign race experts appear in specific locations.
The scope of the Endless Void was too vast; even the Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm could not find its boundary. Conservatively estimated, its size was no less than a Universe with a diameter of one hundred billion light-years.
The seemingly vast Canglan Realm, even including the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array, was but a drop in the ocean when placed within the entire Endless Void.
In other words, for the living beings of the Canglan Realm, the unknown regions of the Endless Void accounted for ninety-nine percent!
And the vast majority of the foreign race experts were scattered throughout this ninety-nine percent of unknown territory!
Just how many of them there were was impossible to know.
With the methods of the nine Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm, there was no way to obtain intelligence in this regard. As for how many foreign race experts there actually were, they could only make some conjectures.
On the other hand, because the Bee Ant Clan could share information, the foreign races had long since figured out the Canglan Realm's details over the long years.
"When Junior Brother said 'far beyond imagination,' what specifically did he mean?"
Ye Qingqing looked at Li Xuanfeng with a pale face, the weakness brought by burning her essence blood refusing to fade away.
"Just the Ninth-Level Peak Quasi-God Kings currently heading toward the Canglan Realm number more than nine!"
Li Xuanfeng paused for a moment before speaking.
"What?!"
The Hundred Flowers Great Sage suddenly lost her voice in shock.
Lian Yuezhou and Ye Qingqing's expressions also changed.
"The world where the foreign races are located—more accurately, the world beyond the Endless Void—is unimaginably vast."
"Let alone the Canglan Realm, even the entire Endless Void is but a small corner compared to the world where the foreign races live."
"They have a more massive world, a more complete Heavenly Dao, and more abundant energy and resources, so naturally, more experts can be born."
"Compared to them, the Canglan Realm is like a world in a dharma-ending age!"
Li Xuanfeng dropped another bombshell, leaving Lian Yuezhou and the other two somewhat dazed.
"dharma-ending age?"
Lian Yuezhou murmured.
She knew that Li Xuanfeng's so-called dharma-ending age was only relative, but from this, she could also see just how abundant the energy in the world where the foreign races lived truly was!
On the path of cultivation, resources are everything. If there are no resources and no energy for living beings to absorb and refine, then no matter how Heaven-Defying a being's talent is, they will have no chance to Cultivate and can only watch helplessly.
Assuming the foreign races have infinite energy and resources, excluding cases of premature death, then all living beings can grow to the upper limit of what their talent allows!
Under such circumstances, countless experts would naturally be born.
Li Xuanfeng's statement that the Canglan Realm was like a world in a dharma-ending age was enough for Lian Yuezhou, Ye Qingqing, and the Hundred Flowers Great Sage to imagine just how abundant the energy in the foreign world was.
Currently, every Void Battlefield corresponding to a Boundary Pass has a Ninth-Level Quasi-God King of the foreign races stationed there, yet at this moment, no fewer than nine Ninth-Level Quasi-God Kings are actually rushing toward the Canglan Realm!
Although it was unknown when they would arrive, just this number alone was enough to make one feel suffocated.
Even Lian Yuezhou had her brows furrowed, which was a rare sight.
In fact, even she knew very little about the world beyond the Endless Void.
Only Li Xuanfeng, who mastered the Great Dream Reincarnation Art, could find much important intelligence within the memories of the Bee Ant Clan.
Unfortunately, the existence similar to a "Queen Ant" of the Bee Ant Clan was extremely powerful. She quickly noticed that a clan member's Soul memories were being invaded and personally intervened to cut everything off, preventing Li Xuanfeng from learning all the information.
However, even the images seen in that extremely short time contained a massive amount of information, giving Li Xuanfeng a much greater understanding of the foreign races and this world.
The Endless Void was isolated by the Great Emperor, like a cage—a cage as vast as a Universe. The Canglan Realm, at the center of this cage, occupied only an extremely tiny position.
Beyond the Endless Void was a boundless Universe; even the Upper God-level members of the Bee Ant Clan were unclear about how wide the Universe's scope was.
The stars in the Universe were endless, living beings were innumerable, and the number of races was also difficult to count. Only the few races standing at the Peak of the Universe were worthy of being called God Races and had the qualification to enter the Endless Void to attack the Canglan Realm!
For example, the Heavenly Shadow Clan, Nightmare God Clan, Twin Race, Elemental Clan, Strength God Clan… "The diameter of the Endless Void exceeds one hundred billion light-years. Such a size has already surpassed the range of the observable Universe I know!"
"Yet such a place, when placed in the world where the foreign races live, is but a small corner. Just how massive is this world?"
Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.
Before his Transmigration, he also had some awareness of the size of the Universe; the observable Universe was roughly around one hundred billion light-years.
Just hearing this number was not enough to intuitively feel its shock, but to put it another way, it would take one hundred billion years to cross the Universe at the speed of light!
The speed of light, for one hundred billion years!
One could see just how vast this range was!
Moreover, this only referred to the straight-line distance; the Universe was not a straight line but an incredibly massive expanding space.
It was equivalent to a sphere; the diameter of the sphere and the space within the sphere were two different concepts.
From this perspective, it wasn't hard to understand why the Supreme Experts could not explore the edge of the Endless Void.
Even if one could appear a light-year away in a single step, crossing a distance of one hundred billion light-years was simply too much to ask. Furthermore, energy and cultivation had to be considered; neither Li Xuanfeng nor the Supreme Experts could maintain their Peak speed indefinitely.
The closer one got to the edge of the Endless Void, the harder it was to replenish energy.
"The vastness of this world may be far beyond my imagination; perhaps only the foreign Supreme Experts have a clear concept of it in their minds."
The Endless Void was equivalent to a complete Universe, but outside was an even broader world. As for exactly how large it was, Li Xuanfeng could not perceive it, and even the Upper God Bee Ant Clan members were not particularly clear.
To find the answer, one might have to search the Souls of the foreign Supreme Experts. However, even with Li Xuanfeng's strength having skyrocketed now, it was impossible to achieve this.
"Although I'm not clear on exactly how vast this world is, it seems that Great Emperor and God King are the endpoints of the path of cultivation."
"No, that so-called Primordial Ancestor might be even stronger than a Great Emperor!"
Thought after thought popped into Li Xuanfeng's mind.
Based on the currently known situation, there were no Realms higher than Great Emperor and God King.
Whether in the Canglan Realm or among the foreign races, Great Emperor and God King were the strongest known Realms. But even a Great Emperor could fall. That Primordial Ancestor of the foreign races was either an invincible being among God Kings or had already surpassed the God King Realm to be able to bring catastrophe to the Canglan Realm a million years ago.
"No matter what, I cannot stop my pace in increasing my strength. Only by becoming a Supreme Expert—no, I must become a Great Emperor—can I be fearless of the foreign races and know the truth of this world!"
Having just broken through to the Peak of the Great Saint Realm, Li Xuanfeng was already thinking about continuing to grow stronger.
The more intelligence he learned from the foreign races, the stronger his desire to become powerful became.
Now his situation was equivalent to a Mortal locked in a welded iron cage, with countless fierce beasts watching hungrily from outside. He couldn't get out and didn't dare to, while the beasts outside might smash through the cage and rush in at any moment.
"Since the Canglan Realm is so barren, why do the foreign races still want to enter here at any cost?"
The Hundred Flowers Great Sage's voice, filled with doubt, suddenly rang out, interrupting Li Xuanfeng's thoughts.
