Black Hole - 124

Zhou Fan didn't go out of his way in order to move the asteroid field away, but started flying through the openings within.

At first there was a lot of space to move around in and it took no effort to find a path forwards not blocked by asteroids. After Zhou Fan had flown 1000 miles, the asteroids started to thicken and increase. After another thousand, Zhou Fan had to look for a path through, although it was still very easy to find.

After ten thousand miles, it was starting to seem less like an asteroid field and more like a cave. After an entire light-year was traveled, Zhou Fan was unable to find a way through. Every inch forward was covered in rock as if it was a wall.

Zhou Fan started using Qi to make a hole through the thick wall and continued to fly towards the center of the galaxy. He continued to do so for another light-year until suddenly, there was no more rock.

Zhou Fan flew out of the wall and was greeted with a familiar sight. Stars and planets made up many areas in his vision and it seemed as if he had just left a cave and entered a galaxy.

However, there was one big difference. In the center of the area was a giant black sphere. It was tens of thousands of times bigger than the Zhou World and its sun combined.

Although it could barely be felt where he was standing or in most other parts of the galaxy, Zhou Fan could tell that it gave off an immense gravity that pulled everything towards it. Luckily, the giant black sphere didn't extend its reach too far and it seemed that only the hundred light-years around it were empty.

The rest of the galaxy was happily floating around it as if it was a sun.

Seeing the black sphere, Zhou Fan gave it a name. He called it a black hole. He called it that since it was black and looked like a circular hole in space if you didn't use your divine sense.

Using divine sense, however, would show its true form which was that of a sphere. Zhou Fan decided that he would explore it, but he would first explore the surrounding areas.

Like in the rest of the galaxy, Zhou Fan ventured around and added everything he found on a map. Throughout his entire journey, Zhou Fan had neither found a planet with life nor a planet capable of having life in the future without his intervention. There was absolutely nothing but rock and ores.

It didn't take too long before Zhou Fan finished with every part of the core area besides the black hole.

Zhou Fan floated in the last bit of space not majorly impacted by the black hole before moving forward and entering its domain.

He instantly felt a suction force strong enough to pull a tenth level void traversing cultivator towards the black hole helplessly start pulling him.

Of course, Zhou Fan ignored the force and started to fly towards the black hole without the help of the suction force. As he got closer and closer, the suction force increased.

Once he reached the halfway point between the planet nearest to the black hole and the black hole, the force was strong enough to pull a 4th level space shattering cultivator to their doom.

Once he reached the three fourths point, Zhou Fan felt the force increase dramatically to the point that a 9th level space shattering cultivator would be sucked in.

As he reached a mile before the black hole, Zhou Fan felt the force become strong enough to injure a first level lesser dao creation cultivator.

The black hole's strength started to seriously dumbfound Zhou Fan at that point. He never expected something that strong to exist within a galaxy. Even the oldest and strongest star going supernova may not be able to scratch someone at the lesser dao creation realm.

Zhou Fan couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the black hole exploded. Perhaps the entire galaxy would be devoured. After all, its strength would likely increase an entire realm.

Zhou Fan finally got within inches of the black hole and reached out his hand. Now, the black hole was using enough force to rip a third level lesser dao creation realm cultivator's hand to shreds, but Zhou Fan's hand didn't even move an inch.

Once his hand finally touched the black hole, it released a force much stronger than it had since Zhou Fan first saw it. Its strength seemed to soar and it started to try and rip Zhou Fan to shreds with the power of a fifth level lesser dao creation realm cultivator.

For the first time in a while, Zhou Fan looked serious. He instinctually clenched his hand into a fist, covered it with chaos Qi, and sent his most powerful attack towards the black hole.

The two forces collided and the black hole's power disintegrated instantly while Zhou Fans power shot towards it and landed on its exterior. As if it was a rubber ball, the black hole deformed and squished. The attack was nearly enough to destroy it.

Luckily, Zhou Fan pulled back in the last second and stopped his attack. Although a normal attack at the 7th level of lesser dao creation may not do that much damage, Zhou Fan had used an attack infused with Chaos Qi. Even the black holes Qi paled in comparison to Chaos Qi.

Speaking of black hole Qi, Zhou Fan had instantly comprehended it after he saw the black holes attack. It was the most powerful Qi besides Chaos Qi he had seen thus far.

After attacking the black hole, Zhou Fan started to observe it closer. He was quickly able to tell that it had a part of the cosmic dao inside it. Zhou Fan hadn't seen or encountered anything with the cosmic dao for a long time.

He had still been unable to comprehend any more than the 5% he had comprehended when he had broken into the lesser dao creation realm.
