Chapter 462 The Gap in Time
The air was incredibly heavy, like a giant mountain pressing down on his heart, and his image was reflected in countless mirrors once again.
In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of silvery-white arcs of electricity, like flowers of death blooming out of thin air, shot out without warning from any of the mirrors around Shen Xu's body, above his head, and beneath his feet!
These attacks do not follow physical trajectories; they use the "reflection" of mirrored surfaces as a springboard to traverse space directly! They are pushed to their limits the instant they are launched!
One moment he was in the mirror ten feet away, the next moment the electric arc containing destructive power had torn through space and appeared in Shen Xu's heart, back, dantian and other vital areas!
The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of his visual perception, leaving only distorted, residual spatial cracks in its wake.
Just as the electric arc was about to touch him, Shen Xu's senses were instantly stretched and magnified infinitely.
Those streaks of silver-white lightning, powerful enough to pierce him instantly, appeared to him as ferocious lightning serpents with long, trailing tails, slithering towards him at a visible "slow" pace.
He could see the arc of each electric arc's tip leaping, and he could sense the subtle ripples they created as they tore through space.
It can even predict their final target—the throat, heart, dantian, qihai…
But his body's reaction speed was far from keeping up with this stretched perception!
Can't escape!
With such dense, bizarre, and deadly attacks launched from any point in space, he simply couldn't possibly dodge them entirely with his body!
In an instant, he was pierced by the silvery-white lightning that attacked from all directions.
The aura of death magnified infinitely, and the excruciating pain struck his soul. Before he could even process the agony that was enough to break him, darkness enveloped his vision.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still in the same spherical space with countless mirrors, and the silver snake's body was still slowly swimming in the mirrors.
"What are you doing!"
Shen Xu felt a sudden sense of despair. He knew that no matter what, he could not dodge such a dense and rapid attack.
But the silver serpent wouldn't give him time to wallow in despair, once again unleashing countless silver arcs of electricity that traversed space and struck at his vital points.
"You special..."
Before Shen Xu could finish cursing, his consciousness returned to darkness once more.
This time, instead of immediately returning to the spherical space, he heard a muffled voice say, "Fool! Remember, I'll only say it once."
"Using 'momentary awareness,' completely abandon the attempt to dodge and concentrate all your attention on perceiving the 'time ripples' caused the moment the attack touches your body."
By capturing the fluctuations of time ripples at the "critical point," one can guide this power with strong willpower and forcibly open up a "gap in time."
Only within the gaps of time can you possibly avoid the attacks of the Void Thunder Spirit…
"A fleeting awareness, a rift in time? The Nine Revolutions of the Dragon Body!!"
Just as Shen Xu was about to ask something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was back in that mirrored space.
Based on those two names, Shen Xu immediately realized that this was probably the training ground for the Nine-Turn Dragon Body.
He had only ever experienced fleeting inspiration or moments in time with the dragon.
It is estimated that Wuji Sect is the sect that Li Xiaoyi mentioned that has been destroyed, but judging from the current situation, Yun Yao's information is not true.
But she was right about one thing: the danger of practicing this movement technique was beyond his imagination.
His arrival here is probably related to that silver snake.
Thinking of this, Shen Xu's eyes sharpened. He had been worried about not being able to find the rest of the dragon's body, but now it seemed that he had obtained the whole thing.
That's a truly terrifying movement technique; it allows one to dodge by taking advantage of gaps in time.
Its cultivation method is too deadly. Even if it is simulated in the Holy Realm, the cultivator's spirit will inevitably collapse after dying many times.
Moreover, judging from the different trajectories in the Boundless Sacred Realm, the Boundless Sect probably possesses many supernatural abilities like the Nine Revolutions Soaring Dragon Body.
"What a terrifying sect!" Shen Xu couldn't help but exclaim again.
He didn't have time to think too much; he knew the silver snake's next attack was brewing.
"Completely abandon dodging, and find the ripple of time at the very moment the attack is about to touch your body..."
He felt that the time stop triggered when he was attacked by the silver snake was the rift in the time gap, but it was a little too late. Now he just needed to find the same feeling.
Once again, a dazzling silver light appeared before his eyes, and his perception was extended infinitely once more. Every attack of the silver snake was clearly visible to him.
"boom!"
Shen Xu's consciousness plunged into darkness once again.
"Again!" Shen Xu's gaze grew even more ruthless.
death!
die! !
die!!!
……
Shen Xu had lost count of how many times he had died. His mind was on the verge of collapse, and the intense phantom pain tormented him, making it impossible for him to concentrate on dealing with the silver snake's attacks.
Even the emptiness in his soul expanded little by little with each death, like a series of death warrants being issued to him.
During this period, he did trigger the time rift, but it was completely out of his control, as if it were a lottery-like system on Earth.
Such a gap in time was of no help to him.
But he could no longer continue; if he were attacked again, he would only die meaninglessly.
And his soul will completely collapse with each death.
A silver light pierced through his body once more, and his consciousness returned to darkness.
"Useless trash! Get out!!"
A soft light enveloped him, and the next moment he appeared outside the crystal.
"Fine, let them leave! It's better than death."
Shen Xu lay down in front of the crystal, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
He woke up, clutching his head, after an unknown amount of time.
Looking at the familiar crystal before him, Shen Xu couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
He was still hoping that he would be able to return to the real world after he woke up.
Looking at the huge crystal that was still slowly rotating in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of nausea.
Whenever he saw this crystal, images of his countless gruesome deaths inside it would involuntarily flash through his mind.
The two crystals in the soul mist were activated again, but there was still no reaction.
"It seems you're not planning to let me go back since I don't control the gap in time!"
"Get lost!" Shen Xu flung the silver snake wrapped around his arm away violently.
Shen Xu sat cross-legged in front of the crystal and entered a meditative state. After entering the Qi Sea Realm, he found that when he entered a meditative state, strands of soul power would replenish his soul mist from the void within his soul.
He suspected that the void was digesting the red light that the Blood Spirit had injected into his soul.
"I wonder when I'll be able to awaken my Devouring Spirit talent. This is too slow!" Shen Xu was filled with frustration.
At that moment, the crystal lotus between his brows suddenly began to emit a cool sensation, instantly calming him down.
Upon realizing what had happened, Shen Xu felt a chill run down his spine. Was this the 'inner demon'?
No wonder Soul Eaters don't have a good reputation; under the threat of death, it's hard for them not to choose simpler and more effective methods.
Once you've tried devouring spirits, it's very difficult to go back to the previous path.
Thinking of this, Shen Xu gradually regained his composure, and after summoning the silver snake back, he slowly restored his soul's state.
