"You figure out a solution yourself." But Mi Li's reply was rather cold and unfriendly.

Zuan: "???"

Sister, have you forgotten that you and I signed a soul contract? We are bound by a life-and-death relationship.

Seemingly guessing what he was thinking, Mi Li said, "This is a good opportunity for you to hone your skills. In the future, you will encounter many more formidable enemies. If I help you this time, what will happen when you encounter enemies that even I cannot handle?"

Someone once said that to her.

Zuan remained silent. This sentence seemed familiar, but he was still weak back then. He never expected to hear it again now.

He didn't say anything more to Mi Li, but began to ponder.

Previously, his mind was indeed bound by some concepts about time from his past life, and the divination he had done earlier had given him a subconscious feeling that he was doomed to die, so he felt unable to resist.

Looking back now, that may not be the case. Although Mi Li did not point out any practical solutions, the information she provided was very useful.

Manipulating time is not the only ability in the universe, so there must be a solution.

Moreover, this Shadow Demon King was clearly not as powerful as he had imagined, at least according to Mi Li.

Finally, and most importantly, she must have a way to get out of this predicament, otherwise Mi Li wouldn't have this attitude.

Although the point is to cultivate a strong mindset, if death is truly inevitable, then there's no need for her to say all this.

So what exactly is the solution?

Zaun began to ponder: the opponent's ability was omnipresent light, and the ability to intercept time...

What can defy light, what can defy time?

Wait a minute, black holes seem to be impenetrable even to light, and time is also distorted near black holes.

Although it's not a real black hole, the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique can somewhat simulate the feeling of a black hole. Anyway, the opponent isn't really manipulating time either. Both sides are in a state of financial ruin, so it's just a matter of who is more powerful.

Thinking of this, he tried his best to circulate the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique. At first, all the meridians in his body seemed to be frozen and he could not use them at all. However, he had already gathered the ability of Kunpeng to devour, and eventually he gradually awakened a wisp of Taotie intent.

With a start, the rest followed naturally. Soon, the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique was circulating within his body, and a small black hole seemed to appear in his dantian, frantically devouring everything around him.

At this point, the Shadow Demon King had lost interest: "I'll gladly accept these artifacts you possess. Next, I'll extract your soul and then slowly interrogate you to uncover your special skills. Do you regret not agreeing to my recruitment earlier?"

As they were speaking, a large hand reached out and touched the other person's forehead.
