"Time Imprisonment Array!"

Ling Xiao's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the dark blue light screen, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "Time flows a hundred times faster inside the formation than outside; our lifespans are rapidly passing!"

Ling Xiao was already skilled in Sacred Rune Arrays, and he had in-depth research and unique insights into various arrays.

But he had never actually discovered a formation that could alter the flow of time like this before.

A strong desire welled up in his heart. If he could master this holy rune array, even if its effect was somewhat reduced, it would still be quite powerful.

When it's unleashed in battle, the enemy won't even have time to react before their lifespan is severely depleted and their strength is greatly reduced, making them practically invincible.

He subconsciously looked at the people around him and saw that their hair was turning white at a visible speed. Their originally jet-black and shiny hair had turned as white as snow in the blink of an eye.

The wrinkles on their faces were also increasing rapidly, and the deep furrows, like marks etched by time, made their faces look old and haggard.

The speed was astonishing.

The people in the room were terrified. They watched their hair turn white and felt their lives slipping away rapidly. Their hearts were filled with despair and fear.

They tried to struggle and resist, but their strength seemed so small and insignificant in the face of this mysterious and powerful formation.

Taking advantage of the chaos, those Dao Realm experts vanished without a trace in a flash.

Clearly, they didn't want to get involved in this conflict; they understood that they had no chance of winning within this time-binding array.

Only by escaping this place can one have a chance to survive and save one's life.

The young demon king's gaze turned cold, like a cold star in a freezing night, radiating a chilling and sharp light.

He swung his longsword again, and an even sharper purple sword light roared out, like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely at the light barrier.

Wherever the sword's light passed, black cracks were torn open in the space.

This time, the sword's edge successfully cleaved a gap in the light barrier, a gap that resembled a ray of dawn in the darkness, giving everyone a glimmer of hope for escape.

However, before everyone could escape, the gap quickly healed, as if gently smoothed out by an invisible hand.

The young demon king frowned. He knew that this formation was no ordinary formation and could not be compared to any other formation.

Without finding the key, it will be difficult to crack.

He took a deep breath, his gaze hardening, and began to carefully observe his surroundings, trying to find clues to break the formation from the mysterious runes and the flow of light.

Just then, the time-binding array around them continued to emit a cold blue light, trapping everyone tightly and relentlessly devouring their life force every second.

The young demon king turned to look at Ling Xiao, his eyes blazing, and asked urgently, "Do you understand the laws of time?"

The voice carried an undeniable firmness, and the eyes were filled with anticipation, as if Ling Xiao were the key person who could unlock the shackles of this desperate situation.

Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning and confidence, as he replied, "I don't understand!"
However, you can learn it on the spot, but you'll have to endure a little hardship.

He knew in his heart that this time-binding formation was extremely dangerous, but at this moment there was no better way than to take a gamble.

After saying that, Ling Xiao stopped smiling, his expression became serious and focused, and he began to study the time-binding array with all his heart.

Although he knew almost nothing about the laws of time, he was well-read and had some knowledge of various strange formations and laws. As the saying goes, "Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had still seen pigs run."

Moreover, the world of Sacred Marks contains many mysterious powers, including the readily available ability to control time.

Ling Xiao knew that as long as he could master the use of the sacred runes, he could manipulate time to a certain extent, which was completely different from truly comprehending the laws of time.

He secretly rejoiced, for he was, after all, an expert in sacred runes, possessing profound knowledge and unique insights into their application.

Time passed second by second, and after about fifteen minutes, the young demon king and his companions were in a very miserable state.

Their hair had turned as white as snow, their faces were covered with dense wrinkles, their once rosy complexions had turned as pale as paper, and their eyes revealed exhaustion and despair.

After studying diligently for some time, Ling Xiao has basically mastered the method to break the time confinement array.

However, he did not immediately break the formation, but stood there quietly with a faint smile on his lips.

He enjoyed watching the Demon Sea suffer. Whenever he thought of the ordinary people who were cruelly killed by the Demon Sea, and those innocent lives that disappeared under the demons' blades, an uncontrollable urge for revenge would surge in his heart.

This time-binding array is like a natural execution ground, letting these warriors from the demon sea taste the pain of having their lives slowly taken away.

Soon, some martial artists in the Demon Sea could not withstand the terrifying power of the Time Imprisonment Array. The weaker martial artists' bodies quickly withered, their skin turned like dry tree bark, and they turned directly into a pile of bones, which fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The scene was chilling.

Ling Xiao felt a sense of satisfaction watching this scene, but he also knew that things couldn't continue like this.

He thought to himself, "That's about right..."

Looking around, he felt it was time to break the formation.

After all, if everyone in the Demon Sea were to die, he wouldn't be able to leave here alive today.

Although he hated the people of the Demon Sea to the core, they were still his helpers at this moment. In this desperate situation, every extra person meant extra strength.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao quickly formed hand seals, each movement precise and fluid, as if he had practiced countless times.

As he formed hand seals, a dazzling silver light emanated from his body. The light was so tangible that it enveloped his body, making him look like a war god descended to earth.

He was completely focused on manipulating the sacred runes, trying to change the structure of the formation.

Mysterious holy runes flew from his fingertips, intertwining and swirling in the air like nimble sprites, rushing towards the weak point of the time-binding array.

However, just as he was about to successfully change the formation's structure, a mysterious force surged in from all directions.

This power was strong and strange, like a surging tide, endless and constantly repairing the formation that Ling Xiao had altered. (End of Chapter)
