Amidst a deafening roar, the giant hand formed from black mist, carrying a terrifying pressure capable of crushing stars, slammed down towards Lin Yi and his companions!
Space was crumbling inch by inch, time seemed to freeze under this palm strike, and an aura of despair surged like a tidal wave, trying to devour everyone's mind.
"Don't even think about it!"
Lin Yi's silver eyes burst forth with unprecedented light, and the mythical power of the [Time and Space Dominator] class surged wildly within his body.
He did not choose to withstand this devastating blow head-on, because he knew that it was not only the power of the Night Owl, but also the extension of the will of the unknown entity behind it.
"Chu Yao, analyze the opponent's energy structure and find the weak point!" Lin Yi's voice was unusually calm amidst the rapid energy roar.
"Received, sir! Comparing databases... Energy level too high, analysis will take 3 seconds!" Chu Yao's clear voice rang in Lin Yi's mind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.
In that split second, Su Qing's star chart suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, forcibly stabilizing the previously distorted spiritual patterns. She spat out another mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes were unusually firm: "Lin Yi, its target is you! I will restrain some of its energy!" She formed hand seals, and chains composed of starlight appeared out of thin air, attempting to entangle the giant hand.
"Roar!" Long Wu let out a deafening dragon roar, and the originally dim golden light of the dragon pattern burned again. Although it was not as strong as in its prime, it carried a resolute determination to destroy everything.
His massive dragon body surged forward, not to attack the giant hand, but to pounce on the head of the Night Owl, which was constantly oozing black mist: "You bastard, your opponent is me!" He wanted to use his own body to buy Lin Yi those crucial few seconds.
The shadowy figure flickered like a ghost at the edge of the battlefield. With each flicker, an invisible wave interfered with the trajectory of the giant hand's downward movement, slowing its arrival.
He didn't utter a sound, but his actions demonstrated what a deadly assist truly is.
Xuanmingzi's aged eyes were fixed on the center of the vortex, where the blood vessels pulsed more and more strangely.
"Young Lin, that old bastard is drawing upon the primordial power of this world through the Night Owl. We can't let him succeed!" His voice was slightly hoarse, his Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and an ancient and desolate aura emanated from him.
"Sir, the weak point has been found! It's located three inches to the left of the giant palm's center, at the energy node connection point!" Chu Yao's voice rang out promptly.
"Understood!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, and the spacetime power within his body was no longer just being released outwards, but began to deeply merge with his own will.
His eyes seemed to pierce through the mists of time and see through the essence of space.
"Time and space... have frozen!"
With a low shout, an invisible wave instantly spread out from Lin Yi.
It is not complete stillness, but an extreme slowness.
The enormous hand that blotted out the sky visibly slowed down a fraction of a second. Although it was only for a tiny moment, in a battle of mythical significance, that moment was the difference between life and death!
"Now!" Lin Yi's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next instant, he appeared beneath the giant hand, gazing up at the oppressive force that felt like the sky collapsing.
He showed no fear. The spacetime energy at his fingertips condensed at an unprecedented speed, no longer a simple "spacetime blade," but infused with the profound meaning of his deepest understanding of time and space—"Spacetime... Fracture Slash!"
A thin silver line, almost invisible to the naked eye, like the first ray of dawn tearing through the night before sunrise, burst forth from Lin Yi's fingertips and pierced the energy node that Chu Yao had mentioned with perfect precision.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling light effects.
The moment the silver thread pierced the giant palm, the enormous, despair-inducing black hand seemed to be paused. Then, starting from the point where the silver thread pierced, fine cracks spread wildly like a spider web!
"Click...click click..."
The crisp cracking sound rang in everyone's ears, like heavenly music.
"No...impossible!" The Night Owl's roar, a mixture of two overlapping voices, was filled with disbelief.
He could feel that the supreme power from his "master" had been forcibly severed!
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Qing guided the starlight chains to tightly bind the black mist that was about to collapse, preventing it from regrouping.
Although Long Wu's dragon breath was greatly reduced in power, it still roared and washed over Night Owl's head, making it unable to concentrate on controlling the remaining power.
After the initial shock, all the job changers erupted in thunderous cheers.
The mythical buff provided by "Faith Link" seemed to be injected with new vitality at this moment, and they all unleashed their strongest skills on the still-forming extradimensional spaceships emerging from the vortex.
The members of the Time and Space Legion worked together seamlessly, taking advantage of the brief advantage created by Lin Yi to precisely strike the enemy's weak points.
"Break for me!" Lin Yi roared again, his silver eyes gleaming with divine light.
"Boom!"
That once invincible black giant hand exploded in a thunderous explosion under the gaze of countless eyes!
They transformed into countless black specks of light, like purified dust, dissipating into the distorted turbulent flow of spacetime.
Dawn finally pierced through the thick darkness!
The owl's head shook violently, and black liquid gushed out of his eyes, mouth, and nose. He had suffered an unprecedented blow.
The power from the "master" was forcibly severed, causing a huge backlash against him as well.
"puff!"
Lin Yi reappeared before everyone, his face slightly pale, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
That "Space-Time Fracture Slash" just now almost drained most of his power, but the effect was also significant.
He successfully broke through the Night Owl's black vortex, thwarting the opponent's strongest offensive.
"Beautiful!" Long Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly. Although his breath was weak, his fighting spirit was high.
Su Qing clutched her chest, managing a weak smile. Although the star map's light was dim, it was still spinning, alerting its surroundings.
“It’s not over yet!” Xuan Mingzi said in a deep voice, his gaze still fixed on the center of the volatile vortex. “What’s behind him won’t give up so easily.”
Sure enough, although the owl's head was broken, the black tentacles in its eye sockets began to writhe again, more frantically and violently than before.
"You... will all die!" he roared like a beast, and the remaining dark energy began to converge on his head, forming an extremely unstable energy ball that exuded a mad aura of mutual destruction.
"He wants to self-destruct, triggering all the power deep within the vortex!" Chu Yao's urgent voice rang out.
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed; he had already sensed Night Owl's intentions.
He anticipated this possibility the moment he broke the giant hand.
"Trying to drag us down with you? How naive."
Just as the dark energy sphere condensed by the night owl was about to explode, Lin Yi suddenly clasped his hands together.
"Space-Time Freeze Domain!"
Buzz—
A law-based force even more powerful than the previous "time-space freeze" instantly enveloped the area where Night Owl was located.
Time seemed to stand still completely within this small space.
The owl's crazed expression froze on his face, and the dark energy ball that was about to explode remained motionless, like a mosquito trapped in amber.
"Now! Go all out!" Lin Yi shouted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Maintaining such a large area of absolute stillness was a huge burden for him.
Su Qing's starlight, Long Wu's dragon breath remnants, the silent attack of the shadowy figure, and the concentrated fire of the surrounding time-space legions and job changers, all poured onto the stilled Night Owl at this moment, like a torrent that had found an outlet.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The barrage of attacks landed precisely on the owl's head.
Click...
Tiny cracks began to spread across the surface of the owl's head, which was made of black liquid and tentacles, and they became more and more numerous and denser.
Victory seems to be just around the corner!
A look of relief appeared on everyone's faces. As long as Night Owl was completely eliminated, this arduous battle would come to an end.
However, just as the owl's head was about to completely shatter, a sudden change occurred!
A shadow, so deep and dark it seemed capable of swallowing all light and hope, appeared slowly behind the night owl without warning.
It wasn't a physical entity, but rather an outline formed purely from fear and despair.
It simply stood there silently, without making any movement or even emitting any energy fluctuations, but a chilling aura far more terrifying and unsettling than the giant hand or the owl itself instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
Everyone froze, including Lin Yi.
His pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran through his body from the depths of his soul.
That shadow... its mere existence caused the surrounding laws of spacetime to groan in despair, as if they were about to collapse.
The mythical-level buff provided by the "Faith Link" began to fluctuate violently upon contact with the shadow's invisible aura, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
The owl, which had been severely injured earlier, had its head, which was on the verge of disintegration, stop shattering the moment the shadow appeared.
Moreover, wisps of purer and deeper dark energy slowly flowed into the owl's remains from the direction of the shadow.
Xuan Mingzi's face drained of color instantly, his lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented horror and despair: "No... impossible... how could it... project itself..."
The mysterious shadow slowly raised its "head." Although it had no facial features, everyone felt a cold, indifferent gaze, as if looking at ants, sweep over everyone present and finally settled on Lin Yi.
The air froze.
Before the aftermath of the battle had subsided, a new and even more unfathomable despair had already descended.
