Chapter 5117 Time Swamp
After several days of healing, Jiuzhen's complexion was still somewhat pale, but her breathing had stabilized, and her sharp sword intent had been reinstated.
He looked at the dark gold divine ship, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "What a ship! It's a perfect blend of offense and defense, and its speed is astonishing. With it, we can finally have a foothold in the Boundary Sea."
Without wasting any words, Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou went straight to the driver's seat.
Although she was not skilled in weapon crafting, as a peak-level expert in the Divine Realm, she was naturally adept at piloting a divine ship.
"Target: the misty region deep within the Boundary Sea. Proceed!"
With Su Bai's command, a silent, dark blue flame shot out from the tail of the divine ship "Dawn," a highly compressed burst of spiritual energy.
"call out!"
A streak of dark golden light instantly pierced the sky at astonishing speed, leaving almost an afterimage in its wake. In the blink of an eye, the divine ship vanished at the edge of the star rift, like a sharp blade cutting through the mist ahead, heading towards the depths of the Heavenly Court's Boundary Sea.
After leaving the asteroid belt, the surrounding scenery began to become strange.
The originally colorful and raging chaotic currents of laws gradually disappeared, replaced by a hazy gray mist.
But this fog was neither water vapor nor dust; rather, it was a viscous, almost tangible light and shadow, as if countless fragmented images were superimposed together.
After the divine ship entered this area, its speed visibly slowed down, and its original lightning speed turned into something like swimming in glue.
"What's going on? The power array is clearly running at full speed, consuming three times the usual amount of source crystals, so why does it feel like we're crawling through a quagmire?"
Luo Yunsheng frowned, her hands constantly casting spells to urge the divine ship forward. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but with little effect. The divine ship seemed to be dragged along by countless invisible hands, unable to move an inch.
Su Bai stood up, walked to the ship's side, and looked out the window through the shield with a solemn gaze.
He saw that the meteorites floating around him were neither stationary nor flying, but rather exhibiting an extremely eerie "hovering" state. It was as if a movie scene had been slowed down, or even frozen in time. Even the shockwaves breaking through in front of the divine ship became slow and viscous, like layers of transparent glue slowly wriggling.
Even more frightening is that those lights and shadows seem to flicker with fragments of the past and future, making people feel dizzy at a glance.
"Something's not right... The rules here have been completely distorted."
Su Bai stretched out his hand, his fingertips protruding beyond the shield in an instant.
In that instant, he felt an indescribable resistance and chill at his fingertips. It wasn't the resistance of air, but the weight of time.
The skin on my fingertips lost its luster in that instant, as if a hundred years had passed in a flash.
"My benefactor! Look at my face! What's wrong with my face?!"
Suddenly, a terrified scream came from the cabin, the sound of which was completely distorted.
When everyone turned around, they saw that Qian Duoduo, who was originally chubby and had skin as smooth as a baby's, now had deep wrinkles on his face, like dried tree bark! Not only that, but a shocking strand of white hair had appeared at his temple!
"My lifespan! My youth! I have a lifespan of 50,000 years, how could I suddenly grow old?! I haven't even gotten married yet!" Qian Duoduo was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. He held his face and wailed, frantically pulling out all kinds of longevity pills from his storage bag and stuffing them into his mouth.
Jiuzhen's expression also changed. He felt that the originally vigorous blood and energy in his body was declining at a terrifying speed, as if a hundred years had passed with each breath.
"It's the law of time!"
Su Bai's pupils contracted sharply, a strong sense of alarm rising in his heart, "We've stumbled into a region where the flow of time is extremely chaotic! This is... the Time Swamp!"
The Heavenly Sea was the core battlefield of the great war between the ancient Heavenly Court and the Upper Realm. The fall of countless powerful figures, especially the battles between those who controlled the Great Dao of Time, including those at the Tai Zhen Realm and even the Eternal Realm, completely shattered the original spacetime.
The remaining fragments of the laws of time here, mixed with the energy of the Boundary Sea, form a huge, invisible vortex that can strip intruders of their lifespan, causing them to die of old age without them even realizing it!
The divine ship flew for half a day, seemingly moving forward, but in reality, in the dimension of time, they may have been trapped in the same place for thousands of years!
"We can't go on like this! We must break through this illusion, or we'll all turn to dust and perish in this fleeting time!"
Su Bai made a quick decision, looked at Luo Yunsheng, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, you cultivate the 'Thousand Illusions Technique' and also study the Dao of Time and Flowing Light. This is your home turf, and your perception of time is more acute than mine. Can you sense the nodes in the flow of time?"
Luo Yunsheng's expression was also solemn. Although her beautiful face was protected by profound divine power, it also showed a hint of fatigue, and there seemed to be a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
"Let me try!"
She took a deep breath, stopped piloting the divine ship, and sat cross-legged, closing her eyes. A faint, flowing light emanated from her body, a light so dreamlike and ethereal that it seemed to blend into the surrounding gray mist, yet also seemed to be resisting the decaying power.
"Time is like water, and like sand. Although the laws of time here are broken and chaotic, there are still traces to follow... Tracing the origins of time!"
A moment later, Luo Yunsheng suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils turning an eerie silver-white as if two rivers of time flowed within them. She pointed to a seemingly empty space to her left, a space where light and shadow were most distorted.
"There! That's the 'eye of the storm' where time flows, the exit of this swamp! But the temporal turbulence there is too strong, forming a temporal barrier. My power is insufficient to tear open the passage!"
"I'm here to help you!"
Su Bai shouted and took a step forward. Above his head, the space trembled, and a large, ancient, heavy cauldron with three legs and two handles suddenly appeared—the Void Cauldron!
"Void Cauldron, suppress space and time!"
Su Bai fully activated the laws of space, and his divine power surged into the cauldron like a river bursting its banks. The Void Cauldron instantly swelled to a hundred feet in size, and countless spatial divine patterns lit up on its body. With its mouth facing down, billions of silver spatial chains hung down.
Space and time are two sides of the same coin in the universe.
These chains, like anchors, plunged deep into the viscous swamp of time, forcibly fixing the ever-flowing and changing spatial coordinates around them.
"Om-"
The previously chaotic and frantically flowing time was momentarily halted under the powerful suppression of the Void Cauldron. The suffocating feeling of aging also paused.
"Now! Senior Sister!" Su Bai transmitted his voice.
"Thousand Illusions: Slash of Time!"
Luo Yunsheng seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and thrust out his precious silver spear, named "Flowing Light."
This shot produced no earth-shattering explosion, only a streak of light that seemed to transcend the speed of light and belong to a different dimension.
Where the spear's edge passes, it doesn't sever the flesh, but only the passage of time!
