The contract is not bound to a specific address, but primarily bound to your person. So it'll move if you move - that's basics of German Civil Code ("Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch"). The contract only states where the agreed service has to be fullfilled - but that can be changed. But the contract is bound to your person.

[...] because of which I am not able to directly cancel the contract at the old place as you said.
As already said - in accordance with the German Civil Code, the contract is NOT bound to a specific location and stays there, but it's bound to YOUR person. It's a contract between you and Vodafone - both of you have to serve the contract as agreed within the contractual term - which means you have to pay for the service and Vodafone has to provide the service at the agreed address. If you move, the contract is still valid - and it'll move (e.g. the agreed address may change to your new address).
Only in the case that the contract cannot be fullfilled as agreed at the new address, you gain the right to prematurely cancel the contract (in accordance with the telecommunications law) with the already mentioned 3 months notification period beginning earliest by the day you relocate (or the day the cancellation is received by Vodafone - the later one counts).

However, the terms of the contract while signing were that I could cancel the contract whenever I wanted.
I doubt that your contract has such a written part that allows you to cancel at any time. Please note that only written consent is acceptable - any words spoken between you and the worker at the shop (if you signed at a shop) are void if they are not also being added in written form to the contract. That's also part of the German Civil Code - you'll have to provide proof for this.

This has been void and for which Vodafone is responsible.
Nope - it's solely your turn to provide written(!) proof for such termination agreement.
Especially if this is not part of the written contract acknowledgement that you got from Vodafone, then it's not part of the contract.

And the second thing about shifting the contract, I cannot do that, but I leave out of country in the next few weeks. And, I searched online that contract can be cancelled in this case. So, what are the options for that? Please list.
As already stated:
If you move to an area where your landline contract cannot be served as contractually agreed - no matter if inside or out of Germany- you gain the right to premature cancel the contract with the already mentioned 3 months notice period from the date you relocate (written proof!) or your cancellation is received by Vodafone (the later one counts).
So if you move out of Germany -AND- provide written proof in form of an official deregistration letter ("Abmeldebescheinigung"), your contract can be cancelled by that date plus 3 months the earliest.

I was also told that I did not need to shift the contract, since, the Vodafone internet router was plug and play. Meaning this could be used anywhere, anytime. What are your excuses for that?
As you wrote in the landline contract section for cable based services, this "plug and play" is only valid if the location is served by Vodafone KabelDeutschland internet services by cable network. This is not given at any location in Germany as Vodafone only has cable networks in 13 of 16 federal states and not every location is served by cable at all. Furthermore your contract states that you are not allowed to use the router at any other location than the one that is contractually agreed for - this has something to do with the telephony part that is bound to a specific address in case of an emergency call where you cannot state your address anymore and is part of the telecommunications law (so not only specific to Vodafone, but to all providers of landline services).
