Boom!
Space collapsed.
Chang’s massive body was knocked back, but Qing Xing was flung into the distance like a meteor, only stopping when he was caught by Dan Jin.
An immense force ran through her body, causing Dan Jin’s arms to tremble as she staggered back involuntarily.
Qing Xing spat out a mouthful of blood. He was completely shocked. “What monstrous strength!”
He had inherited the Chaotic Ancient Qi Art from Greater Sancte Mi Jin, and it was an Immortal technique. But even when he empowered it with Immortal matter, he had only succeeded in knocking Chang back.
This was far outside of Qing Xing’s expectations.
Dan Jin was also startled by Chang’s physical strength. The being was truly monstrous.
The Great Master peered into the distance. Chang’s physical might was absolutely overwhelming. Not even when Gu Duanke worked together with Deathmound’s experts had they been able to force the beast back. The Nest civilization’s plan was all too obvious, and yet they were also just as confident in their success.
Lu Yin clenched a fist. There was no denying that he wanted to test his body against Chang’s, but killing Unbroken Time was their first priority.
“Behave.” The Great Master attacked from above again, and Luo Chan was sent flying, left dazed and reeling for a second time.
Even so, the creature was quite tough, as it showed no indications of actual injuries.
This was completely different from Unbroken Time, who had started cracking after just one blow from the Great Master’s oar.
Every lifeform had its own strengths and weaknesses. Unbroken Time was bizarre, and its mastery of time allowed it to remain undefeated. However, should anyone manage to land a blow, its defenses would be quite weak.
“Leave this thing to me. You deal with Unbroken Time,” the Great Master sternly ordered. She could be considered Luo Chan’s nemesis.
Unbroken Time’s alternating sun and moon fluctuated more rapidly than ever. It was clearly uneasy that Luo Chan had not shared news of the humans’ assaults on the swarms.
Why were the humans not attacking the other three battlefields? Their actions made no sense.
The humans should have seized the opportunity of the four Insect Lords’ absence to deal with the other three battlefields.
Could the humans have discovered Luo Chan’s ability?
Right when that thought occurred to the creature, Lu Yin’s Wheel of Karma swept over. Again, Unbroken Time’s sun and moon were riddled with new cracks. The damage that had been mended over the course of more than a year while the River of Aeons washed everything away had instantly reappeared.
“Do the humans know about Luo Chan’s ability?”
“That’s possible.”
“Then we must finish these humans off. They can’t escape.”
“Unbroken Time, leave the human that’s attacking you to me. I can sense his strength.”
“Forget it. This human needs to die. Not only is he physically powerful, but he can also move along the River of Aeons and has even comprehended karma. He is too great a variable; I will kill him.”
“Are you finally going to use that? Hehe, let me watch him die! No one has ever survived that ability of yours. At least this trip won’t be wasted.”
“End him, Unbroken Time.”
Consciousness descended. The Heaven and Earth Lock, empowered with Immortal matter, sealed Unbroken Time. As that happened, the Tri-Azure Sword Intent emerged from behind Lu Yin, but before slicing out, it also fused with Immortal matter.
Lu Yin believed that this slash would be able to strike Unbroken Time. Even if the attack was eroded by time, Lu Yin would keep the creature pinned down and use karma to deduce a way to eliminate it.
But both his Heaven and Earth Lock and Tri-Azure Sword Intent missed. Unbroken Time instantly appeared right in front of Lu Yin, less than a meter away.
How?
Lu Yin stared at the needle that was extremely close to his hand. It had not moved. Instead, the sun and moon had formed a second needle, and he was currently inside of that. He had no idea how he had ended up there.
The Great Master, Qing Xing, and Dan Jin all saw what had happened, though they were all equally baffled as to how Lu Yin had been swallowed by Unbroken Time.
That was exactly what it looked like at this moment; Lu Yin seemed to have been swallowed by Unbroken Time.
Far, far away, Master Qing Cao’s eyes narrowed sharply. At his side, Greater Sancte Awe Gate’s expression turned grave. Did that creature still have more abilities?
Unbroken Time was simply too bizarre. How could such a lifeform exist?
She prepared to take action. She could not allow Lu Yin to be killed.
Even if she did not know what Unbroken Time had just done, this timing indicated that it had just used a hidden trump card. Could Lu Yin survive?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Lu Yin looked at the needle. It was so close to him that he could easily reach out and touch it. He could clearly see each and every crack on it, and he was confident that, if he grabbed it, he would be able to snap it.
How did I end up inside of this thing? Was I swallowed by Unbroken Time?
He had not been able to sense anything. It was as if time itself had been broken into two parts. On one part, he had been far away from Unbroken Time, chasing after it, while on the other, he was already inside its body.
But what did it intend to do to him?
Lu Yin raised a hand to grab the other needle.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
His hand passed through the needle. He was not able to touch anything.
Lu Yin looked around. He was inside the second needle, the one formed by the alternating sun and moon, but he was unable to touch anything in the second needle either.
Far away, Dan Jin and the others stared on in shock. The Great Master said something, but Lu Yin could not hear even a single word.
He released his inner universe, refusing to believe that Unbroken Time could truly keep him trapped.
Suddenly, the needle that he was looking at started to spin quickly, and its speed increased further and further. Eventually, he could see only a circle, due to how fast it was spinning.
