Zhou Fan walked up to the black hole and placed his hand flat on it. It was not his first time coming into direct contact with a black hole, but it would be his first time entering one.
By exerting a little bit of force, Zhou Fan's hand went through the black hole as if it was a sticky goo.
Zhou Fan had to focus on stabilizing his surroundings at all times while slowly entering the black hole.
If not, the moment he tried entering, the black hole would do something ridiculous like explode or begin to twist and turn.
A black hole's very existence was defined by attracting things, yet when a power it could not break down touched it, it would do everything in its power to get away from that power.
Unfortunately for the black hole, Zhou Fan's power had surpassed it in every way possible. Even the bit of cosmic dao within the black hole was insignificant to Zhou Fan due to its relatively weak power and size.
Soon, Zhou Fan's entire body was engulfed by the black hole. The black hole was in no way small. Its size could be compared to earth from long ago, before Zhou Fan ever left it.
Therefore, once he got the hang of moving through it without disrupting it, Zhou Fan increased his speed.
Before long, he was flying at a satisfactory pace. Without much time passing, Zhou Fan felt that he was about to enter the core area.
Whether or not there was something in there, Zhou Fan did not know.
Of course, he could have used his divine sense at any time to instantly tell what was going on. His divine sense had become strong enough to easily ignore the power of a black hole.
However, Zhou Fan usually refrained from doing such things. If he simply used his divine sense to do everything, there would be nothing to do for himself.
He could have also just teleported to the center if he wanted.
Zhou Fan's hand was still held out in front of him when he felt it reach a different area. Before long, his head also entered.
Surrounding Zhou Fan was complete darkness. There was not a single ray of light anywhere near the area he was in.
Luckily, cultivators quickly transcended the need to use light to see. As a true god, it would be shameful if he had to rely on such a thing to see.
The area Zhou Fan was in was around as tall as himself and about twice his height in width. In the very center of the small area was a tiny pebble made up of every color there was. Of course, it didn't actually give off any light due to the black hole, but the fact that its color could be seen regardless was testament to how powerful it was. Zhou Fan was immensely surprised at its presence. He did not even feel anything happen. He was unaware of how it got there.
Naturally, it was a piece of the cosmic dao. A solid piece. It was tiny, but Zhou Fan could sense that it was very powerful.
He could also detect an invisible and undetectable string that likely connected the tiny piece to the real cosmic dao. Sadly, although he knew there was a string, Zhou Fan could not tell where the string actually was.
Despite seeing the cosmic dao piece, Zhou Fan did not forget his original purpose. He created a wooden plank inside the black hole and teleported it just outside.
Soon, the black hole sucked the wooden plank up and Zhou Fan felt it traveling through the black hole. As it traveled, it was being ripped apart down to its deepest components. By the time it made it to the area where Zhou Fan was, it was no longer a wooden plank, but a completely dismantled substance that Zhou Fan referred to as space dust.
As it entered the area that Zhou Fan was in, Zhou Fan felt a sliver of Qi come from the cosmic dao piece and the space, which had already been extremely weakened by the black hole's gravitational pull, was easily broken. In an instant, the space dust was teleported away.
Zhou Fan understood what was happening. It was a surprisingly smart and efficient process. The black hole would pull things from outside to its core, dismantling it completely along the way. Also, just by existing it would weaken the space within it due to its gravity.
Then, once the dismantled space dust entered the black hole, the piece of cosmic dao would take advantage of the weakened space and teleport the space dust away for very little cost requiring very little power.
Of course, along the way the black hole itself devoured some of what it pulled in, allowing it to increase in size.
It was a very interesting process.
Now satisfied, Zhou Fan destroyed the black hole, and the piece of cosmic dao with it. The cosmic dao had entered his black hole without his permission, so Zhou Fan felt that it was very reasonable for him to destroy it.
In an instant, Zhou Fan felt a little bit of power surround him. However, once the power sensed his strength, it dissipated.
Although the cosmic dao exhibited beast-like tendencies, there was a very clear difference. The difference was that the cosmic dao did not have any emotions such as pride or greed.
As long as Zhou Fan was strong enough, he could take up a large amount of area with his mortal dao without the cosmic dao caring.
Still, Zhou Fan had a feeling that at some point, it would see him as a threat and attempt to eliminate him.
Luckily, it was not doing so yet. Just based off of the fact that Zhou Fan could not tell where the string was or how the piece of cosmic dao even appeared showed that he stood no chance against it.
For now of course. Zhou Fan always planned on elevating his mortal dao further. Doing so would naturally put him against the cosmic dao at some point. It was only a matter of when, not if.
