Whether the system sensed the crisis or not, it did not strip Shen Qian of his consciousness. He watched all of this unfold and merely sneered upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, his physical body, under the system's control, was frantically fleeing into the distance using the "Shadow Shift" technique.
The clone fearlessly confronted Ling Tianhou, trying to buy some time for Shen Qian.
Looking at the clone left behind to block Ling Tianhou, Shen Qian felt a deep sense of regret, but if he could escape by doing so, losing a king-level clone seemed to be barely acceptable.
"it's useless."
Seeing that Shen Qian had escaped to a distance of ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye and had already turned into a black dot on the horizon, Ling Tianhou smiled indifferently, but completely ignored Shen Qian's clone who was frantically waving his halberd at him, and simply pointed to the sky.
"I am the master of this world."
squeak!
Amidst a strange friction sound, a horrifying scene unfolded before Chen Qian's eyes.
The space within a radius of tens of miles seemed to distort as if it were a tangible entity, as if an invisible hand had grasped this space and twisted it upwards into a ball, converging all the spatial orientations from all directions into a single point.
And at the end of that point is where Ling Tianhou stood.
So no matter how Shen Qian tried to escape, he kept rushing towards Ling Tianhou, as if he were walking into a trap.
The system attempted to repeat its previous tactics, but as soon as the space in front of it shattered, more layers of space surged in like flowing water, filling the gap.
The space controlled by Ling Tianhou continued to compress inward, and an indescribable pressure surged forth. In order to avoid being crushed into pieces by the layers of space, Shen Qian could only keep moving, but his direction was restricted. So he could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to Ling Tianhou.
As for the clone that sank before, it was already tightly bound by another small spatial cage, unable to even move a finger.
At that very moment, something happened that sent an even chill down Shen Qian's spine.
The system... suddenly went offline.
Having regained control of his body, Shen Qian focused his consciousness on the system interface, only to find that the system was still in operation. However, as soon as the escape plans appeared, they were quickly erased one by one due to various loopholes.
It was as if the current situation had exceeded the system's capacity limit, or that something invisible was fighting against the system's computing power, causing the system to fall into chaos.
This was the first time Shen Qian had ever seen the system so "helpless." As his heart grew heavier, he realized that he could no longer rely on the system today and had to save himself!
But how can we save ourselves?
As Shen Qian watched Ling Tianhou approach, his brain began to work frantically.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Qian gritted his teeth and pulled out the Time Conch.
Having witnessed Ling Tianhou's terrifying power, Shen Qian no longer had much confidence in the enhancement brought by the Time River Conch. Moreover, his own condition was extremely poor at the moment, and the backlash from the "Ten Directions Creation Body" was far from over. However, Shen Qian had no choice but to fight to the death... at least to buy some more time.
As Shen Qian thought this, he was about to exert force in his palm to crush the Time River Conch.
But at the same moment Shen Qian took out the Time Conch, Ling Tianhou's gaze also instantly fixed on the conch in Shen Qian's hand.

"As expected...you really have traveled through the river of time!"
At this moment, Ling Tianhou's gaze was intense, and he completely changed his previous indifferent demeanor, with a look of surprise appearing on his face.
As he spoke, he seemed to have already sensed Shen Qian's intentions and snapped his fingers.
Then Shen Qian was shocked to discover that... he couldn't even crush the Time River Conch in his hand.
What should have been an easy task to accomplish with a mere thought, inexplicably became more difficult to hold than the hardest alloy. No matter how much force he exerted before sinking, the Time Conch showed no signs of breaking.
He looked down and saw that the Time Conch had been covered by a gray shadow, as if it had been sealed away.
He didn't know how Ling Tianhou had done it, but Shen Qian was already overwhelmed with shock, and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness rose within him.
There was no earth-shattering duel, but in the blink of an eye, Ling Tianhou had easily suppressed all of his methods and trump cards.
...Old Liu's lifelong enemy is too outrageous, how am I supposed to compete if he's this strong?
While muttering bitter complaints to himself, Chen Qian frantically racked his brains, trying to find a glimmer of hope in his desperate situation.
At this moment, the distance between the two was less than a kilometer, which, for their respective cultivation levels, was almost no different from being face to face.
"Give up, Shen Qian. You don't necessarily need to die. What I'm interested in is just the secrets you hold."
Ling Tianhou smiled and said, "After all, we don't really have any deep-seated hatred for each other."
Seeing that Shen Qian remained silent, Ling Tianhou shook his head. "No need to wait anymore, Jiang Huan won't be able to find this place."
Shen Qian was startled and almost blurted out, "How did you know I was waiting for Jiang Huan?"
When he first sent his clone to make his move, his main body also shattered a jade pendant. And yes... that was one of the backup plans he had prepared beforehand.
Upon entering the Southwest War Zone and realizing that he might be targeted by Ling Tianhou, Shen Qian made many preparations, one of which was the jade pendant.
