Chapter 1027 Weird Stars
This bottomless passage is generally funnel-shaped. The further you fly forward, the narrower the passage becomes. Of course, this narrowness is only compared to the thousand-mile giant gate at the beginning.
After the two flew forward for a while, they finally confirmed that their feeling was correct and that the passage was indeed shrinking.
Time passed slowly. The farther away from the Heart of the Galaxy behind, the faster the flow of time around them became. Slowly, there were signs that the flow of time was returning to a normal speed. No one knew how much time had passed. In this chaotic space and time, Zhang Qian and the World Tree could still clearly perceive the speed of time passing at first, but later, because of the chaotic changes in space and time, they no longer knew how much time had passed.
The passage around them had become only a thousand feet high, shrinking many times.
But the end of the passage still did not appear, as if the passage was a huge cosmic passage connecting two parts of the universe, and there was no end in sight.
Zhang Qian thought for a moment and said after estimating for a while: "This passage is only about a thousand feet high now. I think the end should be not far away."
"Be careful. We don't know if there is any terrible danger at the end of the passage."
The World Tree gave a warning, and the two continued to move forward with caution. As time passed, the passage became smaller and smaller. After an unknown amount of time, it had shrunk to about a hundred feet.
When the passage narrowed to about ten feet, Zhang Qian's eyes flashed and he suddenly said, "Look!"
The World Tree looked forward and saw a very tiny red light flashing vaguely in the darkness.
The red light was extremely tiny and barely visible, and if Zhang Qian didn't have sharp eyes he wouldn't have been able to see it.
"exit!"
The two looked at each other and quickened their pace. The passage became narrower and narrower, and soon it was only about ten feet high. The small red dot showed no signs of getting bigger, which meant that they were still a long distance away from the finish line.
However, after setting a target, the two felt that time passed a lot faster. By the time the red light became the size of a grain of rice, the surrounding passage was only three feet high, making it impossible for the two to stand. They had to turn into a beam of light and fly away.
The World Tree turned into a ray of divine light, while Zhang Qian turned into a sword light and moved straight forward.
After turning into light and flying away, the two of them moved very fast. Soon, the red light spot became bigger and bigger in their sight. When the light spot was about the size of a cast iron tree, the surrounding passage had narrowed to one foot in radius, becoming a tiny hole.
The two of them flew through the hole and it didn't have much impact.
But the next moment, the passage suddenly shrank to only an inch in radius, and the space around it was only an inch in radius, like a goat path, extremely narrow.
And that red light spot has become extremely large, like a red star floating in front, floating at the end of the passage.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sword light transformed by Zhang Qian stopped and could no longer move forward. It encountered an indestructible barrier and had reached the end.
The passage here was only slightly thicker than silk and was extremely small. The two of them were unable to disperse their escape light at all. They could only maintain the appearance of a escape light and look forward.
"This... this is a star!"
A red star appeared in front of them. The star was extremely huge, and the end of the passage where the two of them were was in the sky above this star.
Boom!
The World Tree tried to use the divine light of creation to impact the barrier at the end of the passage, but it did not move at all and could not be shaken.
Dong Dong Dong...!
The World Tree did not give up and kept attacking the barrier. Finally, it found helplessly that it was useless. The barrier at the end of the passage did not look thick at all, but it was stronger than the world barrier.
Zhang Qian had a flash of inspiration, and two crystal-like fangs appeared. They were the incisors of the Sword Devouring Ancestor. The Sword Devouring Ancestor had used these two fangs to chisel open the world barrier. After the Sword Devouring Ancestor died, these two incisors were tempered in the divine fire of the Emperor Xi, becoming even sharper and harder. Kaka...!
He used his two front teeth to push hard, and a small gap suddenly appeared on the indestructible barrier.
"It works!"
Zhang Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly controlled his two front teeth to dig at a faster speed. Soon a small hole appeared on the barrier and the two front teeth rotated and drilled forward.
Boo!
With a slight sound, the barrier was finally penetrated by the front teeth.
Swish!
Zhang Qian and the World Tree flew out hurriedly and appeared in the sky above the red stars.
"What a strange star, why isn't it round, it looks more like a drop of water!"
Looking up at the sky above the stars, Zhang Qian discovered that this red star was not round like other stars, but shaped like a drop of water. The universe near the star was pitch black, without any starry scene at all. The location of this star seemed to be at the edge of the universe. There was nothing nearby, only endless darkness.
This scarlet star was suspended alone in the void, and it looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
Every star in the universe has an origin, but this red star seems to have no origin, floating alone in the empty void of the universe.
"not good!"
The World Tree suddenly cried out in surprise, and Zhang Qian's heart trembled. Before he could say anything, the red star shaped like a water droplet below suddenly moved. This movement was earth-shaking. The huge star seemed to come alive with the roar. The mountains and gullies on the surface of the star suddenly disappeared, and the entire surface of the star became as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of wrinkles.
"No...it's a drop of blood!"
The World Tree changed its expression. This was not a star at all; it was clearly a drop of blood the size of a star!
No wonder the entire star is in the shape of a water droplet. It is liquid itself and not a star at all.
"Go back quickly!"
The World Tree called out, and Zhang Qian dared not delay. He turned into a sword light and rushed into the narrow passage at a high speed.
But the huge drop of blood that was startled by the two of them surged up, and in their horrified gaze, an eye about tens of thousands of miles in radius appeared on the surface of the star. This eye stared straight at Zhang Qian and the World Tree in the passage. That terrifying look was filled with deathly silence, which made people's scalps numb.
Buzz buzz...!
Billions of red threads as thin as silk shot up into the sky, rolling and covering the two of them. Before the threads got close, the blood of both Zhang Qian and the World Tree immediately began to riot, surging uncontrollably, almost causing the two of them to lose their ability to maintain their escape light and reveal their bodies.
If you were to reveal your body in such a narrow passage, you would be crushed by the passage immediately.
Dangdangdang...!
The sword light transformed by Zhang Qian suddenly burst out into a burst of gray-black sword energy, which was the dominant sword energy.
A piece of red silk thread appeared in front of the sword energy. These silk threads were incredibly strong. Under the sword energy of the master who was at the level of One Sword to Establish the Dao, they were completely unharmed. When they collided with the sword energy, only the sound of metal clashing was made, and they even penetrated the sword energy and stabbed straight at the two of them.
"Back off!"
The two of them didn't care about anything else and retreated quickly. More and more red threads rushed into the passage and chased them closely.
After a while, the passage around the two of them became wider. Zhang Qian hurriedly dispersed his escape light, revealed his body, and then activated the Heavenly Jade Body to regain control of the surging blood in his body.
