Invincible Young Master in the City

Chapter 1928: Chapter 1924: Energy Beyond the Universe

After investigating the situation at the edge of the universe, Ye Fan returned to Hua Hai City.

He was still a bit worried, as changes at the edge of the universe meant that a powerful force was enveloping the entire universe, and the Heavenly Tribulation was gradually descending.

"From the initial signs in the Pangu Mystical Realm to the major changes outside of it, the Heavenly Tribulation feels imminent," Ye Fan said with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

The Mysterious Woman looked at Ye Fan and said, "What, have you lost confidence in the Heavenly Tribulation? Who was it that said they would sacrifice themselves to save it? Is this your spirit of sacrifice?"

Ye Fan glanced at the Mysterious Woman and said, "The Heavenly Tribulation is something that must be faced now. Ancient powers are awakening, and I can’t even reach the edge of Pangu’s cultivation. If it weren’t for the fact that I am needed to save the Heavenly Tribulation, perhaps Pangu would have killed me. What ability do I have to talk about saving the Heavenly Tribulation now?"

The Mysterious Woman said, "I have told you that your potential power surpasses Pangu and Fu Xi." "Your cultivation is entirely based on surpassing the energy within the universe, and the upper limit of your power completely exceeds the sum of all energies in the universe. It’s as if you’ve created a world, and the energy of this world is limited; the amount of energy in this universe seems incalculable to us, but to those higher creators, everything has no secrets. If you compile all this energy, it wouldn’t surpass those creators. But your power can connect to energies outside the universe; your power even has the chance to exceed those higher creators, so this Heavenly Tribulation, only you can save."

Ye Fan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "If I want to save the Heavenly Tribulation, does that mean my power must surpass the energy of the universe? I don’t think I have that strength. Even if I can exceed it, that would be far in the future and not something reachable now. While used by ancient powers, I’m also exploited by those creators. It’s truly lamentable... Are humans really this humble and helpless?"

The Mysterious Woman smiled without saying anything. Clearly, she was beyond commenting.

Ye Fan said, "The arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation for me is a matter of dealing with it as it comes. I won’t be thinking about many other things anymore and hope to see the power of the Heavenly Tribulation now. I want to test whether I can truly resist the tribulation. The power beyond the universe... can’t be elemental or life forces, nor my Pure Yang Spiritual Energy. It’s hard to say what exactly it is."

After saying this, Ye Fan left the edge of the universe and returned to Earth.

Suddenly, he thought of a question. If his own power could connect to energies beyond the universe, such power was unlikely to be elemental, as the few small crystals were just energies within the universe.

Moreover, the energy absorbed by the small crystals also came from the elemental bodies within the universe.

But if elemental forces are the catalyst for triggering this energy beyond the universe, combined with his Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, then the mysterious power that forms in his body is the source of energy beyond the universe.

Ye Fan thought, "If my energy can connect to energy outside the universe, then the Chosen One should be like me, able to link to some force beyond the universe through a certain catalyst. If he can find this power, all problems will be solved. What exactly is this power, and where do I find it? Could it be that this person is really Zhao Jun?"

Ye Fan couldn’t think of anyone else possibly being this Chosen One. Right now, Li Zhaojun seemed most likely to be the Chosen One. All issues returned to the starting point, but Ye Fan faced difficulties because he couldn’t find Li Zhaojun’s whereabouts, which really troubled him.

...

...

At this moment, Li Zhaojun had already left her previous cage, but she still hadn’t found a way back to the regular universe or the Pangu Mystical Realm to find Ye Fan.

She and Min Shang wandered in a relatively chaotic space for a long time, still unsure of their location.

"Sister, I feel very tired. How long do we need to find? When can we meet Ye Fan?" Min Shang appeared helpless, putting all her hopes on Li Zhaojun.

Li Zhaojun said, "Shang sister, I’m also constantly searching for a way out of here, but we’ve been here for so long, feeling like years have passed... Has the entire universe been wiped out, and we’ve arrived in the universe post-extinction?"

"Sister, what do you mean by the universe being wiped out? Is the Pangu Mystical Realm... gone too? What about Ye Fan?" Min Shang asked nervously.

"I don’t know," Li Zhaojun seemed troubled too. She found a place to stop and said, "If my estimate is wrong, there’s only one explanation: our power hasn’t reached the level to break free here. We can only continue searching for a way out. It seems now, the only way we can continue is to train. We have plenty of time for training, and once we leave, we’ll investigate the truth."

Min Shang shook her head and said, "But I just want to find Ye Fan."

"Whether we find Ye Fan or not is irrelevant now. We must realize that only by relying on our own power can we leave here; we can’t count on Ye Fan or any other forces," Li Zhaojun said, looking at the chaotic space around her. "Even if the universe is destroyed now, we still need to train our cultivation, in case there are any lingering people who want to ambush us, we must have the ability to fight them."

"Sister, do we really have to train? But training is exhausting, and I don’t know how to practice. It seems training has lost much of its meaning," Min Shang said, frustrated.

Li Zhaojun encouraged her, saying, "If you and I don’t try hard, we will end up waiting to die here. If we strive, there might be a ray of hope. Isn’t that true? Sister, we previously trained by merging our powers, and the results were good. Now, it’s our last chance, and we must train well, or we’ll just be waiting to die here... Do we wait to die here in the end? Sister, let’s begin training."

Although Min Shang didn’t understand the significance of training anymore, she listened to Li Zhaojun carefully, as outside Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun was the only person she relied on.

She would obey Li Zhaojun’s words.
