Lin Yi and his group felt like they'd been thrown into a high-speed spinning washing machine—no, this was much more exciting than a washing machine!
My internal organs felt like they were about to shift; it felt like Sun Wukong had been thrown into an alchemy furnace, almost turning into an elixir of immortality.
"Ugh..." Long Wu's face was a sight to behold, like a color palette, with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple colors taking turns on stage. The things he spat out were almost a rainbow of colors.
"What...what kind of place is this? It's even less safe than the last time I went bungee jumping!"
Su Qing gripped Lin Yi's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, but she didn't utter a sound. Her face was as white as a sheet, which was heartbreaking.
“Calculation in progress… unstable spatial structure… abnormal energy fluctuations…” Chu Yao’s data stream flashed wildly in her eyes, her small body like an overloaded server that could crash at any moment.
"This is turbulence in a higher dimension; we must find a stable point as soon as possible!"
Lin Yi also felt unprecedented pressure, which was not only physical but also mental.
This spatial devouring is practically tearing them to shreds and throwing them into the cosmic junkyard.
"Old Xuan! Be reliable! If you mess up at a crucial moment, I'll replace your chip with a used one when I get back!" Lin Yi frantically called out to Old Xuan in his mind, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response.
Just as Lin Yi felt he was about to kick the bucket, a faint, ethereal voice suddenly echoed in his mind, drifting like a ghost: "Remember... this is... the only chance..."
"Who? Who's speaking? Old Xuan, is that you? Stop playing tricks and think of a solution!" Lin Yi tried to concentrate and catch the tail of the voice, but the voice was like a gust of wind, disappearing in an instant.
But those words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through Lin Yi's chaotic thoughts.
The only chance?
What opportunity?
No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!
Lin Yi forced himself to calm down and frantically mobilized the spacetime power within his body.
A faint silver light began to appear around his body, which was the power of spacetime surging wildly.
"Space-time... stabilize... begin!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and injected the power of space-time into the distorted space around him.
He felt as if he were trying to move a speeding train with his bare hands, and every bit of progress was incredibly difficult.
But he couldn't give up!
Su Qing was still by his side, Long Wu was still vomiting, and Chu Yao was still trying to analyze the situation. He couldn't let his companions down!
With his frantic efforts, the distorted space around him gradually stabilized, and the terrifying suction force began to weaken.
They were like finding a rock in a storm, finally getting a chance to catch their breath.
“It works! Lin Yi, continue! The frequency is 3… no, it’s 3…” Chu Yao’s voice carried a hint of surprise, but she remained absolutely calm.
Hidden in the darkness, Night Owl watched as Lin Yi and his group managed to stabilize the situation despite his forbidden skill. "Interesting. Looks like I underestimated you."
He didn't hesitate to increase the power of the forbidden skill.
The space distorted even more violently, as if trying to tear everything to pieces.
"Snap!"
Lin Yi heard a faint sound, the sound of a spatial rift.
He knew he had reached his limit.
If this continues, they will all be swallowed up by the spatial rift!
"This can't go on any longer!" Lin Yi thought to himself.
He must fight back, and he must win in one strike!
He quickly exchanged a glance with his teammates.
Years of tacit understanding allowed them to instantly grasp each other's thoughts.
"Long Wu, same old routine, push forward! Draw fire!" Lin Yi shouted.
"Alright! Watch this!" Long Wu wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth, roared, and his whole body burst forth with dazzling golden light.
His true dragon bloodline was fully activated, transforming him into a golden lightning bolt that charged towards Night Owl.
"Roar!" A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the space. Long Wu's body began to swell, scales covered his entire body, and a pair of golden dragon horns burst forth from his body.
He actually managed to transform into a half-dragon at the crucial moment!
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Night Owl sneered, and with a casual wave of his hand, a black energy wave blasted towards Long Wu.
"Chu Yao, data support! Lock onto his energy fluctuations!" Lin Yi shouted again.
"Lock complete! Weakness analysis in progress... Weakness found! Three inches from his left shoulder!" Chu Yao's voice, like a precise guidance system, pointed Lin Yi in the right direction.
"Su Qing, it's your turn! Disrupt his perception!" Lin Yi looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded, took a deep breath, and a strange light flickered in her eyes.
An invisible force emanated from her, enveloping the Night Owl.
The owl suddenly felt dizzy, as if it were in a fog, and its senses became dulled.
"What kind of power is this? It can actually interfere with my senses!"
"Now is the time!" Lin Yi seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed all the spacetime power within his body.
His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and mysterious runes flashed in the air.
"Space-time... vortex!" Lin Yi roared, pushing his hands forward with a sudden force.
A massive silver vortex appeared out of nowhere, filled with chaotic spacetime energy, seemingly connecting countless different timelines.
The vortex, carrying devastating power, swept towards the night owl.
Night Owl's pupils contracted sharply; he sensed an unprecedented danger.
"Damn it! What kind of skill is that?!"
He tried to dodge, but Su Qing's interference slowed his movements, and Long Wu's attacks were relentless, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
"No!" Night Owl roared in despair before being swallowed up by the spacetime vortex.
The spacetime vortex spun wildly, emitting a chilling buzzing sound.
The owl's figure appeared and disappeared in the vortex, struggling desperately to break free from this terrible restraint.
Just as he was about to be completely devoured, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Night Owl's mouth.
He opened his mouth and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't get cocky... the show... has only just begun..."
The owl's distorted face stretched and flattened in the vortex of time and space, looking like a selfie taken in a funhouse mirror—it was as ridiculous as could be.
Before Lin Yi and the others could even cheer, a cloud of black mist suddenly burst out from around Night Owl, the mist like a mosaic with a cheat code activated, instantly filling the entire space.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this? The special effects are off the charts!" Long Wu couldn't help but complain, but his expression was anything but relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, a whisper that seemed to come from ancient times pierced through the vortex of time and space, directly striking the depths of Lin Yi and the others' souls.
The sound was filled with the smell of decay and death, making one feel as if hundreds of vengeful spirits were tickling them at the same time, instantly causing goosebumps to explode.
Lin Yi felt a buzzing in his brain, as if he had been hit on the head with a club, and almost died on the spot.
Su Qing was even paler and swayed precariously. If Lin Yi hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have already collapsed to her knees.
At this critical moment, a blood-red light, like lightning tearing through the night, forcefully cleaved open the spacetime vortex.
Within that light, a huge, blood-red eyeball loomed in and out, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Holy crap, who is this deity?" Long Wu exclaimed, almost biting his tongue.
With a mere blink of its blood-red eyeball, an irresistible force yanked the Night Owl out of the spacetime vortex and tossed it into the depths of the void like trash.
Immediately afterwards, the blood-red eyeball vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
The spacetime vortex lost its target and gradually calmed down, eventually disappearing completely, leaving only an unsettling atmosphere in the air.
Lin Yi and the others felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and they dared not relax for a moment.
They all knew that things were far from over; in fact, they were getting even more complicated.
Night Owl's last words kept echoing in Lin Yi's mind, making him feel a series of palpitations.
He had a vague feeling that he had stumbled upon an extremely terrifying secret, a secret that could potentially overturn the world's entire understanding.
Su Qing suddenly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the void, looking towards the endless distance, and murmured to herself, "Is it over? No, this is only the beginning..."
