Chapter 25
It floated for a long time . The soul floated, the stars changing positions around it . Some of the stars even died, releasing a bright pulse before dying forever . However, the soul speck simply floated on, unperturbed . It floated past many things during its' long journey - many uninhabited planets, even stars . Gravity didn't affect it - it was simply too small . At some point, it floated into an extremely tiny crack in space . In some chaotic regions of space, the space itself cracked on an impossibly small scale . It would produce a fissure smaller than a speck of dust, which closed in less than a millionth of a second . However, in an infinitely long span of time, even statistically impossible things will eventually happen - the soul had entered one of such microscopic cracks . The region of space beyond the crack was chaotic - streams of energy were bounding across the vast space, colliding with one another and forming such microscopic cracks . This space was full of action, unlike the infinite cosmos . However, the streams of energy were not able to affect the small spec that was Ye Jian's soul . It was protected by a power surpassing even space itself - the power of laws contained within the secret technique . The soul continued on within the chaotic space, until one day, it encountered something else . Two experts, fighting within the chaotic space . The ripples of energy from their fight created gigantic cracks, leading to other chaotic spaces, or the infinite cosmos the soul spec came from . However, miraculously, the soul managed to avoid them, before coming close to the experts themselves . The ripples from their fight couldn't affect them - although they did control the power of laws, the power from their laws couldn't contend with the power protecting Ye Jian's soul . The fight seemed to be drawing close to the climax - both experts were on the verge of collapse . One of them, a small figure clad in all black, commanded corrosive poison, which seemed to be able to corrode space itself . The other, a heroic looking man, wielded a gigantic sword made of flames, which caused the space surrounding it to melt into nothingness .
In a moment, both experts charged up their attacks . The small figure threw a tiny droplet of poison . Although the droplet looked normal, the space it passed seemingly wilted away - the power of laws, holding space together was melted away . It couldn't return to the region, so the space the droplet passed by eventually collapsed, forming rifts in space which didn't fade away . The man on the other hand waved his sword . The flames seemed to dim at the moment, concentrating on the edge of the blade . It made the sword reveal its' true form - a simple blade, without any decorations . However, the power it contained was immense, and under the heroic looking man's control, it was contained - the space around it intact .
Before the heroic man's sword even collided with the small droplet, the space between them collapsed . It's as if it had no right to exist in the vicinity of the two immensely powerful attacks . The moment the sword finally met the droplet, everything collapsed . The space itself, as well as the laws holding it together . It seemed like time had stopped too in the vicinity of the attacks . The tiny soul had managed to somehow float directly in the middle . The power of the experts' attack was so great it even forced the laws protecting the soul to reveal its' true power . The laws protecting the soul seemingly awoke like a slumbering dragon, before viciously attacking the power assaulting it . The power was extreme - it couldn't be described by words .
At the moment the power protecting Ye Jian's soul attacked, something seemed to collapse . It wasn't the space - it was something deeper, far sturdier . If normal space could be compared to a normal fabric, the thing which collapsed from the attack was like a meter thick steel wall . The gap itself wasn't huge, but it carried disastrous consequences . The laws of space which were holding space together, were like lambs before a wolf, and they retreated in fear . The space practically immediately collapsed and seemed to be sucked into that microscopic gap . Everything in the vicinity was sucked into it - including the power of the sword slash and the small droplet itself . The Qi, extremely sparse within the chaotic region of space, was instantly drained as well . The small speck of Ye Jian's soul was sucked into that gap as well . The power protecting it, seeing as there was no danger to the soul itself, didn't react . It was sucked away in an instant with everything in a small radius .
However, the suction power didn't grow smaller - instead, the gap only seemed to enlarge . The suction power actually grew, with more and more things beginning to be sucked out . The two experts instantly retreated, horrified . This power had far surpassed their imagination . However, the small figure in black seemed to be horrified, as the small droplet it sent out had been sucked in . Or rather, out . The thing broken here wasn't space itself, but the border of the world . If a world was a bubble, the thing broken here was the membrane of the bubble - if left alone, it would only spread and eventually pop . That's why, in less than a hundredth of a second, a terrible power descended and forcibly held the gap together to prevent it from spreading . The heavens couldn't allow their domain to break, or they would lose everything .
At the moment, Ye Jian's soul had no concept of time . It simply drifted through a different region of space - this time, the space was far more sturdy . Some distance behind it could be seen what seemed to be a bubble - it looked small, but gigantic at the same time . Its' exact location couldn't be discerned, and it seemed real and fake at the same time .
