From within the center of the explosion, Zhou Fan watched an unprecedented amount of space dust shoot into the surrounding area. It was more in one place then he had ever seen, which was not unexpected due to the size and amount of black holes colliding.
When the explosion finally stopped sending out shockwaves, a single, tiny black hole remained.
Zhou Fan could tell that there was nothing interesting about the black hole. It was simply a tiny fragment of one of the black holes from before that luckily managed to survive. It was only about the size of Zhou Fan's head.
Zhou Fan did not pay any attention to the black hole. Instead, his gaze was focused on the space dust that shot out.
He had seen many black holes in the area, but never stars or space dust. Zhou Fan could feel something different about the space he was in, but he was not sure how that caused so many blackholes and no stars to appear.
Zhou Fan watched the space dust for a day, and he noticed that it was moving faster than other space dust he had observed in other areas like the purple star sea and the Zhou supercluster.
In fact, it seemed that the space dust was forming 6 gatherings, and each would be completed in just a few weeks. The space dust had been shot away an extremely large distance due to the explosion that held god realm power.
In other locations, the space dust was so far apart that it may never join together again. Still, despite such reasoning, the space dust was moving.
Zhou Fan patiently waited 5 weeks for the 6 gathering spots to reach full capacity. He could feel that something unexpected was going to happen.
Almost at the exact same time, the 6 gatherings of space dust began to be condensed inwards.
Soon, after the condensation reached a certain point, an explosion happened. Just as a star was about to be formed, the explosion seemed like it began to get sucked in.
Zhou Fan watched as the explosion quickly condensed and exploded outward again, this time in a dark form.
'Is that how black holes are created, or is it simply something that happens in this place?' Zhou Fan thought to himself.
It seemed unlikely that space dust could only form stars from the beginning, so it creating a black hole, while somewhat surprising, was not completely unexpected.
The only question was why it was never seen anywhere else and only in this specific area.
One theory was that the space in this area was different, which he had been able to feel, but it didn't explain how black holes were created outside of the black hole area.
It was more likely that space dust that came out of a black hole due to a collision with another black hole would form a black hole, but Zhou Fan was not sure.
As for thinking any deeper, he would have to begin asking questions like how was the universe created, and he wasn't ready to start thinking about all of that.
Zhou Fan started towards the depths of the blackhole area once again. As he continued flying, he began to think of a name for the area. He had a couple of ideas, but decided to wait until he saw everything.
After thinking of names, he began to think if he could add living beings in such an area. Obviously, they would have to be quite special and powerful.
Soon, Zhou Fan began to feel a familiar feeling. It was the feeling of a great attractor. To Zhou Fan, seeing this one was just as important as the first.
He was not sure if all great attractors looked the same or acted the same. The second great attractor would answer that question.
Zhou Fan continued to fly, and soon, he felt closer than before. Just as he passed a black hole bigger than any he had ever seen before, the space opened up.
Far ahead was a giant black dot. It did not seem spherical like black holes, but as if it was truly 2D. An orange color could be seen on the edges of what could only be described as an unparalleled black hole.
Surprisingly, there was no suction force coming from it. Even normal great attractors had a suction force, so it would be weird for a normal black hole to not have one.
Zhou Fan took a step forward, but immediately stopped. He realized why it seemed as if there was no suction force.
Only by infusing an extremely large amount of Qi into his eyes could Zhou Fan see that the space ahead was so twisted and shattered that it seemed normal.
It defied all logic and confused Zhou Fan, but he shrugged his shoulders. The great attractor ahead gave off a much more dangerous feeling when compared to the great attractor of the purple star sea.
Zhou Fan even estimated that it held power equivalent to the middle levels of the true god realm.
It gave him a feeling of danger, but for some reason, Zhou Fan wanted to go near it and feel its power. He had never really run into anything stronger than him directly.
Just as he took another step towards it, he opened his eyes and mouth in shock.
'It's even attracting my thoughts and emotions towards it!' He shouted in his mind.
He was thoroughly impressed by the great attractor. Yet, with a clear mind, he still decided to go up to it.
After reaching the halfway point, Zhou Fan entered the obliterated space and finally felt the great attractor's power.
It was impossible to move through the space unless you could handle the destruction with your own power. There was no other way such as dodging or teleporting.
Speaking of teleportation, Zhou Fan felt it was much more difficult in the area. He could still teleport, but it was much harder. Controlling the direction was also harder.
As he got closer, he felt teleportation getting even harder than before.
It was Zhou Fans first time ever feeling such a thing. He had destroyed space beyond recognition many times, but the current space seemed like an endless maze.
It was as if it was jumbled up and mixed together, with only a few parts actually being considered broken.
Before long, Zhou Fan was 4 galaxy lengths away from the black hole. In the same second that he took a step, a great suction force focused on him. Even with his power, he felt as if it almost couldn't be resisted.
Only after his body burst out with Qi was he able to resist the great attractor. As if it took offense to his actions, an orange and black bolt struck at him. It was similar to the previous great attractor's attack, but also much different.
Zhou Fan crossed his arms and covered them with Qi as the bolt hit him. His Qi was pierced and his clothes were torn through, but only a slight redness was visible on his arms.
Despite the attack seeming similar to a lightning bolt, it did not have any of a lightning bolts properties. They just had the same shape.
When he was hit, Zhou Fan felt like he was being hit with a blunt force, before it started to pull at him.
If he took it with his bare body, he may not be able to stand without injuries. Despite likely being in danger, Zhou Fan felt excited at the prospect of a powerful attack.
Besides Chaos Qi and his divine physique, Zhou Fan began to use all of his power. An amount of Qi that could instantly cover multiple galaxies burst out of his body and formed around his finger.
As he pointed it at the great attractor, the great attractor formed 9 bolts that hit each other before turning into a single bolt that struck towards him.
'Dao Finger.' Zhou Fan thought as a multi-colored finger many times bigger than himself formed and moved straight forward.
The Dao Finger and the great attractors bolt collided, but the Dao Finger was not a casual attack. Out of all of Zhou Fans martial arts and techniques, it was the strongest without using Chaos Qi.
The Dao Finger was only halted for half a second before it continued forward. A few more bolts shot towards it, including two as strong as the first, but it barely slowed down and only slightly dimmed as it hit the great attractor that resembled a black hole.
Zhou Fan saw some of the Qi on the outer layer of the Dao Finger being redirected by the black hole's gravitational pull, but it barely reduced the power of the attack by 10%. It was simply too powerful.
The Dao Finger struck the great attractor, causing it to move back an entire galaxy length, as well as twist and turn, before the Dao Finger dispersed.
Zhou Fan was surprised that it had managed to survive his attack without his interference.
"Well done." He said out loud, although the black hole did not respond.
No more action came from the black hole, that was all there was to it. Zhou Fan was satisfied, so he turned around and walked away. Over the next 30 or so years, he explored every area of the place.
Nothing was present except for black holes and twisted space, along with the occasional space dust that soon disappeared.
Zhou Fan considered taking on the challenge of creating life that could fit in the area, but he didn't believe that he could do it. His life creating abilities were incredible, but not quite creating a race that can survive black holes incredible.
Once he was done mapping out the place, Zhou Fan decided to officially name it. Based on its contents, he felt that the name "Forbidden Land", fit it well.
After all, to anyone except him, entering was a death sentence.
Soon afterwards, Zhou Fan left the forbidden land. He did not go anywhere else, but floated above the barrier on top of the forbidden land.
Although the two areas similar to the forbidden land and the purple star sea seemed interesting, Zhou Fan had set his sights on another area. Unfortunately, that area was a bit out of his reach.
It would take too long to be worth it if he tried to make that journey. Therefore, he decided to breakthrough a bit.
He crossed his legs while floating in space and began to draw in Chaos Qi.
350 million years later, he broke into the 2nd level of the true god realm.
He sighed as it seemed the length of time had reached an unreasonable amount again. In that single span of time, who knows what changes could have happened.
By the time he reached the third level, all space shattering realm cultivators who had not reached the lesser dao creation realm would have died from lifespan issues.
That meant that, besides a very select few, all the life in the universe had just reset.
Only at the lesser dao creation realm did lifespan truly begin to increase incredibly.
At the lesser dao creation realm, the lifespan was 50 billion years. At the inner world realm, it was 5 trillion years.
It continued to increase greatly from there. 500 million years was a lot for any cultivator, so if one could not reach the lesser dao creation realm in that time, it was not unreasonable to die.
All Zhou Fan surely knew was that Ying Xiong was at the lesser dao creation realm, and probably in the upper levels. Going to the next realm would pose a problem, but if he could not do it, nobody could.
After 450 million years, Zhou Fan broke into the 3rd level of the true god realm and stopped there.
'The increase in speed should be enough.' He thought.
After a thousand years, Zhou Fan stopped in front of the barrier leading to his destination. Not too far ahead were twenty giant balls of dirt that could hardly be described as planets.
