Ye Yun looked at the domain gate representing the First Starfield within his dantian, his eyes filled with coldness!
He didn't know why the demon butterfly hadn't mobilized the billions of Monarch-level powerhouses in the First Starfield to unify the Ten Directions Cosmos, but since he had discovered it, there was no way he would let them out!
In his original nature and current strength, Ye Yun could have annihilated all of the Muwu clan's foundations with a single thought! But then he considered that if he killed too many powerhouses of this caliber in this starfield, it would inevitably attract the attention of the wandering life laws in this region.
Furthermore, Ye Yun had developed a 'mortal heart' towards these laws, so he directly sealed the domain gate of the First Starfield with spatial power!
Previously, sealing a domain gate required considerable effort and couldn't be maintained for long. But now, Ye Yun's Spatial Law had broken through to Spatial Dao, and his control over space was tens of thousands of times greater than before!
It could be said that with the current seal, even if all the powerhouses in the First Starfield attacked continuously, it would take months to break it.
Why seal it?
Ye Yun looked at the demon butterfly, who was currently in court, and a smile appeared on his face. He wondered what that woman would feel like if all her powerful forces were confined to an outer starfield!
The First Starfield had two domain gates and one hidden gate. If Ye Yun hadn't possessed his sixth-realm divine sense, he wouldn't have discovered this hidden gate, as it was concealed within the eye of a void storm in the First Starfield's void!
In the void, the propagation of divine sense itself was difficult, and for divine sense to break through a void storm was even more challenging. By Ye Yun's estimation, a third-realm divine sense could only scout within a hundred meters in the void, and to launch an effective attack within the void, one would need at least a fourth-realm divine sense or higher!
And in this Ten Directions Cosmos, there were fewer than ten cultivators who specialized in divine sense who could reach the fourth realm!
What surprised Ye Yun further was that the aura mixed within this hidden gate bore some resemblance to the deities in the game. This led Ye Yun to conclude that it was a place of ascension after reaching the Quasi-Emperor or peak ultimate completion.
He wondered if his current mastery of Spatial Dao could break this hidden gate and directly enter the Outer Heavens of the Thirty-Third Layer.
Ascension gates typically appeared only after someone triggered an ascension heavenly tribulation and successfully passed it. The sturdiness of such a gate was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than the cosmic wall of the Ten Directions Cosmos. With Ye Yun's current Spatial Dao, breaking through such a barrier would be extremely difficult.
As the domain gate of the First Starfield was sealed, those entering and exiting the starfield immediately noticed the anomaly. After entering the domain gate and spending several minutes, they found themselves still in the same spot. If it were just one person or one instance, it wouldn't have attracted much attention, but as more and more people, and even some who entered multiple times with the same result, the inhabitants of the First and Second Starfields were utterly bewildered.
Especially in the First Starfield, they were all beings of high status, usually going to the Second Starfield or even lower-ranked starfields to show off. But now, they found themselves unable to leave. Some people who had gone to other starfields to pay homage to the Futian Empire also found that they could not return.
"Damn it! Some bastard closed the starfield gate! I have to go back home for a funeral!"
A member of the Wandering clan stood at the entrance of the First Starfield's domain gate, his face extremely grim. Since their clan had pledged allegiance to the Muwu clan under the leadership of their young master, the Wandering clan had obtained the position of Minister of Supplies in the imperial court, making them one of the absolute ruling clans in the Futian Empire. This had led to the entire Wandering clan's confidence swelling.
"That... Young Master, the domain gate being sealed is something that only the twenty elders who have reached peak ultimate completion could possibly achieve. If these words are overheard by someone with intentions, it might anger..."
"Peak ultimate completion? Is peak ultimate completion amazing? Isn't my father also peak ultimate completion? Sealing the domain gate is a major taboo! And they didn't even notify anyone, making people run around for nothing?" The young master of the Wandering clan glared, clearly dissatisfied with his subordinate, but he had no choice, as this subordinate was personally appointed by his father.
At this moment, it wasn't just him; nearly a hundred people were gathered at the entrance of the First Starfield's domain gate alone, and even more were gathered at the entrance of the Second Starfield's domain gate.
This matter quickly caused a stir throughout the starfield, and many were bewildered.
"Is something big going to happen in our starfield?"
"What big thing could happen? The overall strength of our First Starfield now surpasses the sum of the previous nine cosmos. What do you think could happen?"
In the ancestral land of the Muwu clan, countless people were discussing the closure of the starfield domain gate.
"I recall that closing a domain gate requires at least twenty elders of peak ultimate completion. If there's nothing going on, why go to such lengths?"
"Why do you care so much? Anyway, even if the sky falls, His Majesty will bear it for us. Enough said, His Majesty is currently in court, and if he knows we're gossiping, we'll be in trouble."
The few dispersed, not noticing a majestic figure standing not far from them.
"Domain gate closed? What is His Majesty planning?" Mu Tian stared blankly at the sky, his gaze piercing through the endless space and landing on the domain gate.
Closing a domain gate indeed required the combined effort of peak ultimate completion powerhouses who had grown within that starfield. However, few knew that there was a rigid condition: all twenty individuals needed to have comprehended the Law of Space. With the current number of personnel in the empire, having twenty peak ultimate completion powerhouses was sufficient, but having all of them comprehend the Law of Space was quite challenging.
More importantly, the energy required for twenty people to seal a domain gate was enough to prevent them from recovering for months. This meant that after the First Starfield was sealed, it would take at least several months before it could be reopened.
And now? The empire's territory was expanding, colonies were being established within the empire, and powerhouses were needed everywhere for defense. Once the powerhouses of the First Starfield could not leave, the empire's expansion speed would not only be greatly slowed down but many of the colonial regions would also break away from imperial control.
Hum...
Suddenly, the airspace of the entire continent trembled, and a black sun rose from the boundless sea, like a beast that devoured everything, opening its bloody maw towards the entire starfield.
