Chapter 1077: Chapter 580: Further Advancement! Law Chains! News of the Black-Robed Man_2
"How about you two come with me to take a walk into the Mirror Abyss?"
Mirror Abyss is one of the most dangerous areas in the Deep Space Sea. Ordinary Tenth Realm cultivators entering it would be torn to shreds instantly by the chaotic Space Laws.
However, the chaos in Space Laws allows a genius like Jiang Shu to see the essence of space more clearly. Opportunities come with dangers; they are a pair born together.
The three moved extremely quickly, traveling swiftly toward the far distance.
Six days later, Jiang Shu suddenly stopped, pointing his Desolate Star Halberd into the distance and said solemnly, "It’s right ahead."
Zhan Feng followed the direction Jiang Shu pointed to with the halberd tip and saw a massive area of spatial collapse thousands of li away.
Yet the shattered space there wasn’t floating disorderly but was pieced together, resembling a shattered mirror carefully reassembled. This is the origin of the name Mirror Abyss.
"I have an extremely powerful Great Technique that must rely on Space Laws to implement. It’s immensely powerful. I feel that this is the place to comprehend this Great Technique!"
Zhan Feng stood in the space, laughing heartily.
The three did not hesitate for a moment, simultaneously transforming into beams of light shooting toward the Mirror Abyss.
The closer they got, the more violent the space’s fluctuations became. When within a hundred li of the Mirror Abyss, Jiang Shu suddenly felt a heaviness surrounding him as if countless invisible chains were wrapping around him.
"Be careful; this is Space Imprisonment!"
Zhan Feng grunted, with the Power Dao forming Dark Gold Battle Armor on his body to resist the invisible spatial pressure, emitting a grating sound.
In Jiang Shu’s eyes, gray Dao Patterns flowed, unveiling the essence of the area and saying to the other two, "This isn’t artificial imprisonment but a result of the space’s own density increasing, causing the heavy sensation."
He reached out to touch the void ahead, feeling tangible resistance at his fingertips.
"The Space Laws here have become substantial, extremely dense, but are also gradually solidifying, making movement difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling silver light suddenly emanated from the front of Mirror Abyss.
Countless space fragments began to spin faster, forming a massive vortex. In the vortex’s center, a blurred portal was faintly visible.
"This is a Space Gate!"
Zhan Yun exclaimed in surprise,
"I’ve heard tales of the strongest creating Space Gates that connect two locations in space; I didn’t expect one to appear here."
But Jiang Shu sensed something odd.
The Chaos Thunder Pool in his Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, while the Three Holy Embryos opened their eyes simultaneously.
Through the induction of Taichu Dao Rhyme, he clearly saw a phantom River of Time flowing within the depths of the portal, with countless light and shadow fragments floating within.
"This isn’t a Space Gate."
Jiang Shu’s voice was filled with astonishment.
"It’s a projection of the River of Time!"
What?!
At these words, the Wind Cloud Pride simultaneously changed color.
Time Law is the supreme law that only Saints can touch; the scene before them was beyond their understanding.
Suddenly, Zhan Feng shouted, "Attention!"
The vortex of Mirror Abyss accelerated abruptly, a terrifying suction force drawing the three toward the vortex’s center uncontrollably.
Jiang Shu made a swift decision, thrusting the Desolate Star Halberd into the void. The thirteen Great Dao Patterns on the halberd shone simultaneously, anchoring his body amidst the chaotic space.
"Hold onto me!"
He grabbed Zhan Feng with his left hand, who then held onto Zhan Yun, the three forming a chain as they fought desperately to stabilize themselves amid the turbulent space, looking very disheveled.
The portal at the vortex’s center became clearer, and Jiang Shu saw familiar faces flash among those light and shadow fragments.
Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable stood with hands behind his back in the Sea Suppressing Hall; Cangming Daoist Venerable wielded the Sea Suppression Flag; even Heaven-Burning Ancestor roared with wings spread!
"Time Imprint?"
Jiang Shu had an epiphany as the Taichu Dao Seed suddenly leapt from his Dantian, hovering three feet above his head.
The newly formed patterns on the Dao Seed resonated subtly with the River of Time flowing in the portal and began to grow slowly.
Seeing this, Zhan Yun gritted his teeth and threw the Giant Axe toward the vortex, shouting, "Use force against force!"
The axe blade struck a spinning space fragment, the reflected force briefly pushing the three out of the suction range.
Jiang Shu seized the opportunity to observe the Dao Seed’s transformation, noticing the new patterns exuded Dao Rhyme vastly different from the Space Laws.
More ethereal, more elusive, existing concurrently in past, present, and future.
"I understand now!"
His eyes gleamed with brilliance, his voice brimming with joy.
"Space is the vessel of existence, while Time is the metric of change! They are two sides of the same coin!"
Space Laws and Time Laws are not just the Strongest Laws; they are mutually dependent existences, the cornerstone of a truly complete world.
With this enlightenment, the Mirror Abyss suddenly shook violently.
In the vortex’s heart, the portal abruptly expanded, a gray-white beam of light shot to the heavens, illuminating Mirror Abyss as if it were daytime.
Within the light beam, countless tiny chain phantoms appeared, each chain threading through innumerable space fragments.
"Law Chains!"
Zhan Feng cried out in shock,
"It’s the manifestation of the fundamental rule that binds all realms of existence!"
"Brothers, sister, gather your energy and focus, observe closely; you might comprehend something from these!"
These Law Chains differed from the Dao Rhyme established by Jiang Shu and others; they were akin to Heavenly Dao, etched with paths enabling seamless traversal. Beyond the Deep Space Sea, the Monument Forest was similar, but the Law Chains there could not be comprehended, shrouded by a mysterious force.
Jiang Shu and Zhan Yun heard this and didn’t have time to think; they hurriedly widened their eyes, relaxed their minds, aiming at the chains.
Just a glance, Jiang Shu felt an inexplicable familiarity.
The arrangement of chains was astonishingly similar to the Mechanical Clan’s spatial locking device light network.
The difference was that these chains contained the most primitive Great Dao truth, not a crude imitation by mechanical creations.
While the three were immersed in this mystical realm, a Communication Talisman broke through the air, exploded before them, forming a luminous screen in the sky.
The scene displayed in the light screen made the three change color simultaneously,
Corpses of prides floated in the void, each with a Mechanical Clan’s unique energy burn mark on their chest.
The scene froze on a spinning silver gear, the center of which was engraved with the Mechanical Divine Country’s triangular emblem.
The golden light from the exploded Communication Talisman splashed like Broken Stars, creating a striking trajectory in the dim cave of the Dead Star.
Zhan Feng reached out and caught the remaining piece of the Talisman, rubbing the charred edges as the ashes fell off.
This was the War Alliance’s secret Blood Burning Communication, breaking most barriers but coming at a great cost, used only at life-and-death junctures.
"That is the Eye of the Void, the chance for sainthood is there."
Zhan Feng’s Adam’s apple moved, his voice suppressing a thunder-like anger.
In his palm, the Talisman ashes suddenly condensed into a miniature Star Map, the central vortex galaxy precisely the prohibited zone, Eye of the Void in the Deep Space Sea.
At this moment, dozens of scarlet dots floated around the galaxy, each dot representing a corpse of a War Alliance pride.
Flames rose in Zhan Yun’s eyes as he fiercely gripped the Bronze Battle Axe, his fingers pale, Dao Rhyme roiling behind him; his mood was restless.
"This is the Mechanical Clan’s triangular symbol, all those corpses had the Mechanical Divine Country’s mark on their chests!"
"Being able to kill so many prides and ancient monstrosities swiftly, neither you nor I could achieve; the only one capable is the Mechanical Mother!"
Zhan Yun’s voice was resentful, filled with fury.
However, only Jiang Shu knew that this was likely not the work of the Mechanical Mother but rather the black-robed man who feared chaos, attempting to set a trap in the Deep Space Sea to lure all cosmic forces into it.
He just didn’t expect to stir up such a grand commotion.
Jiang Shu had briefly scanned, not seeing any Jiuyu Commerce Alliance prides among the dead, possibly because the black-robed man intentionally avoided implicating his affairs in his own network.
