Chapter 164: Chapter 93: Mirror Space, Celestial Eye Alien Race
One following the other, the two crossed Mist Mountain, passed through a canyon, and soon arrived deep within a large mountain range.
Along the way, Chen Yu also casually dealt with a few Demon Beasts.
On a cliff’s edge, Chen Yu gazed at the massive mountain and activated his Force Field perception.
The faint, unusual feedback he’d just felt had come from this place.
He had detected a wisp of a fairly powerful aura, but when he tried to sense it again, he found nothing.
It was as if he had just imagined it.
Seeing Chen Yu’s furrowed brow, Dongfang Yi scanned the mountain. "What is it?"
"I can’t find any trace of it, but I have a feeling it’s right here," Chen Yu said, looking at the deep, dark mountain before them.
"Let me give it a try."
Dongfang Yi spoke, and as he extended his hand, a brilliant wave of light swept out from between his fingers.
It enveloped the entire mountain.
Chen Yu watched quietly. This was the first time he had seen Dongfang Yi make a move.
He was also extremely curious about Dongfang Yi’s abilities.
Though he knew Dongfang Yi possessed an S-rank ability, Chen Yu had no idea what it actually was.
’For a Level 8 Martial Artist to fight a Level 9, it can’t be as simple as just having an S-rank ability.’
’The members of the Dongfang family are all formidable.’
’Dongfang Yao was one thing, but the renowned Dongfang Yi was likely even more of a monster.’
The wave of light washed over the mountain, but visually, nothing seemed to happen.
However, through his Force Field perception, Chen Yu "saw" the space itself begin to vibrate.
The wave of light was causing spatial oscillations, invisible to the naked eye but perfectly clear to his Force Field perception.
The space all around the mountain was oscillating.
That peculiar wave of light was truly amazing.
As the oscillations continued, Chen Yu’s Force Field perception kept "watching."
’Hm? Something’s there!’
Chen Yu’s eyes lit up.
Amid the oscillations from Dongfang Yi’s light wave, his Force Field perception finally caught another trace of that peculiar aura.
His gaze instantly locked onto a spot within the mountain, and Dongfang Yi looked toward the same place.
"Let’s go!"
Almost at the same time, the two moved in perfect sync, rushing into the mountains.
The two landed in a deep, secluded valley.
Besides the plants and trees, there was nothing unusual in sight.
Yet both of them were staring at the air not far away, as if something were hidden within it.
"Spatial concealment. It seems this member of the Alien Race is quite skilled," Dongfang Yi remarked, his gaze flickering as he stared at the empty space.
Chen Yu could sense it, but sensing something and being able to reveal its truth were two entirely different matters.
Hidden in the air before them was a folded space.
That peculiar aura was coming from within this folded space.
It was right before their eyes, yet not on the same plane of existence.
And this plane could be understood as a "Mirror Space"!
It was just like looking in a mirror: you can see the person within it, but you can’t attack them.
In the same space, but not on the same plane.
Like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror!
This was the essence of a Mirror Space!
’Well, this is a first,’ he thought.
Even though it was right in front of them, they couldn’t touch it. The only way would be if the person within that space attacked first, creating an opportunity for a counter-attack.
Either that, or you needed a unique method to enter.
"Can you break it?" Chen Yu asked, looking at Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi looked at the "air" and smiled. "Spatial Ability? It just so happens to be my specialty!"
VMMMM—!
The words had barely left his lips when Dongfang Yi stretched out his hand. A silver light flashed, and the air before them began to shimmer violently, like disturbed water.
A vortex formed in the air, and the aura emanating from it became clearly perceptible.
’A Spatial Ability...’
Chen Yu was inwardly stunned as he watched Dongfang Yi.
’Awakened with powers over time and space are extremely rare.’
’An Awakened with an ability like that is practically invincible.’
In that moment, Chen Yu understood why Dongfang Yi’s reputation was so immense.
S-rank abilities were rare, but not nonexistent. At the Capital City tournament, several other schools had students with them.
But an S-rank *Spatial Ability*? That was exceptionally rare, and its power was beyond question!
He truly lived up to his reputation. Dongfang Yi was the living embodiment of that fact.
"Damned humans!"
An enraged roar echoed from within the vortex. In the next instant, a powerful beam of light shot out from it.
"Such a paltry trick, and you dare show it off to me?" Dongfang Yi looked disdainful. He raised his other hand, and with a flash of silver light, the beam heading for them abruptly U-turned and shot back into the vortex.
BOOM—!!
A deafening blast resounded, and the vortex trembled violently.
Chen Yu watched from the side, making no move. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to act, but that there was no opportunity.
The Mirror Space was still intact. If he attacked now, it would be utterly useless.
’Manipulating space to reflect an attack... Dongfang Yi’s move was absolutely incredible!’
A drop of bright red blood dripped from the vortex. Clearly, Dongfang Yi’s counterattack had worked, causing the Alien Race member inside to be wounded by its own attack.
"Still holding on? Then let’s add some fuel to the fire!" A sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Yi’s eyes. His left hand shone with silver light as the air distorted.
THUD!!!
A fist of silver light smashed into the trembling vortex.
CRACK—!
With a sound like shattering glass, the vortex exploded. The scene before them changed abruptly, and the two found themselves in a beautiful place filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
He had used spatial manipulation to shatter the Mirror Space-Time, and this was its very foundation.
In the distance stood a sacred-looking hall. A three-eyed youth was coughing up blood, his gaze dim.
"This... isn’t this a member of the Celestial Eye Alien Race, the ones who destroyed the Neil Civilization?"
