Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 908 The Western Sands (Part 10)

In other words.

Within the realm created by the Hourglass of Time, one side will have their perception greatly enhanced, effectively gaining a time acceleration effect, while the other side will have their perception reduced and their speed slowed down.

of course.

The meaning of "fast" and "slow" here is relative.

The one who gains the time acceleration effect, due to their enhanced heightened perception, feels as if the whole world has slowed down, and the opponent's movements are incredibly slow, as if a deceleration button has been pressed.

In reality, what appears to outsiders as the 'slower' action is simply normal behavior.

Within the Hourglass Domain, there is no distinction between enemy and foe. The only differentiating factor is the total amount of demonic power.

The most direct external manifestation of demonic power is the strength of one's soul.

After all, the creation of a divine soul is the result of the combination of spiritual intention and the full accumulation and condensation of demonic power.

In other words.

Within the hourglass of time, regardless of whether it is friend or foe, those with stronger spiritual souls will become even stronger, while those with weaker spiritual souls will be weakened doubly.

If a user makes a misjudgment and accidentally pulls in a stronger opponent, it's a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead, and courting disaster.

Therefore, there are occasions when the hourglass is used.

Nangong Ling was always extremely cautious, and only dared to activate the hourglass power at the very last moment, when she was certain that the opponent's spiritual and demonic power was inferior to her own.

Nangong Ling had never expected this.

He would fail because of Han Yi. He clearly sensed that Han Yi's demonic power was not much, and his soul had not yet condensed into a spiritual image, nor had it reached the level of profound understanding.

Aside from being slightly stronger in direct combat, they are completely inferior in other aspects.

Based on numerous past experiences.

This type of enemy.

This is the perfect scenario for using the Time-Traveling Hourglass.

Actually, it's not fair to blame Nangong Ling for making a wrong judgment.

No one is like Han Yi.

The physical body and energy are completely separated.

The demonic power stored within the body is only a tiny fraction of what is outwardly visible; the vast remaining power, like a boundless ocean beneath an iceberg, is entirely stored within the Netherworld Pearl.

So even though Han Yi was initially slightly restricted, he immediately realized something was wrong and tried to break free. The demonic power that naturally erupted from his body far exceeded that of Nangong Ling by several times. "Useless, yet a pity to discard. Seems... somewhat of a double-edged sword." Han Yi shook his head slightly and put away the Hourglass.

If one's spiritual power is stronger than the opponent's, and their total demonic power is also greater, then in this situation...

You still need to go to great lengths to get close to the other party, and then unexpectedly use the Hourglass.

Why not just slap him to death?

Han Yi chuckled, amused by his own thought.

But then he thought about it.

The ability to restrict the enemy is useless, but this power to enhance one's own perception and amplify the flow of time...

But it was a perfect match for him.

That punch that just landed on Nangong Ling...

It is the perfect embodiment of hundreds of punches stacked together, with the power concentrated without any leakage, and the power being controlled just right to explode at the same time.

Han Yi had no doubt. If that state could be maintained for a long time, those two people who chased down from the three main peaks of Yuanmiao Sect could be easily beaten to a pulp with a single punch each.

“That feeling…” Han Yi pointed his divine will and activated the Time-Controlling Hourglass with a thought.

In an instant.

The familiar feeling returned.

Within a radius of several meters, everything—the slightest sound of the wind, the rustling of the soil and sand, and even the whispering of insects crawling deep in the sand—was all detected and sensed.

"A rustling sound?"

In this strange state, Han Yi's thoughts were processed at an extremely fast speed, several times faster than usual.

If his brain's processing power when deducing techniques is equivalent to that of an ordinary computer, then now it is comparable to a supercomputer with even more powerful performance.

Many seemingly unrelated but logically consistent hidden clues are integrated, and with the warning from an unseen sixth sense, the reasoning is quickly completed and a conclusion is reached.

"not good!"

Han Yi's expression changed instantly, and he suddenly threw the long sword in his hand.

Flames erupted from the blade, drawing in and absorbing energy from heaven and earth, transforming it into a crimson streak that swept up dust and sand, surging forth like a dragon or snake in a lightning-fast rush.

Using this momentum, Han Yi lightly tapped his toes a few times, and like a large bird taking flight, with minimal ripples, he sped away in the opposite direction.

Boom! ! ! !

No sooner had he left the oasis than the entire desert seemed to be struck by a meteorite, the ground shaking violently in all directions.

The yellow ravines resembled giant, writhing sand worms, slowly churning and devouring everything in their path. The rolling yellow sand formed a mighty, endless ocean, blotting out the sky. All that could be seen was a curtain of dust whipped up by the gale, making it difficult to breathe.

A series of muffled thunderous sounds echoed from underground, as if a ferocious beast was awakening and about to burst forth from the earth.

boom!

The sandy ground suddenly cracked open, and a purple light shot out from it, striking the raging flames on the longsword with a snap, easily turning it into countless metal fragments.

That purple light was clearly a huge tail spike.

A giant tail spike, almost the size of a palace pillar.

Compared to this, a long knife that is over a meter long is nothing more than an insignificant toothpick, utterly tiny.

rumble…...

The ground continued to tremble, the powerful force spreading in all directions, and the oasis slowly began to change under the impetus of this force.

Instead of moving forward, backward, left, or right, it slowly bulges upward, like a seed buried in the ground that sprouts and grows rapidly after being nourished by rain. In no time, it becomes lush and leafy, with a dense canopy covering the surrounding area. From a distance, it looks like a large bubble slowly rising in the desert.

The ever-growing bulge quickly formed a hill.

The once vibrant oasis has now completely vanished, like a piece of paper stretched to its limit, bursting into countless fragments before being swallowed by the endless yellow sand.

The tremors continued.

The ever-evolving and elongating uplift resembles the process of two continental plates colliding and squeezing together to form a mountain range.

The process was just infinitely faster.

A majestic mountain range, over a hundred meters long, stretches across the land like a giant yellow dragon overlooking all things, cold and indifferent.

Countless dense folds meandered and twisted, drawn out by the giant dragon. Large amounts of black appeared on the edge of the mountain range, with black light spots shimmering within, radiating a suffocating pressure.

The power was too great and the speed too fast. In just a few breaths, the earth's veins were shattered, the sand was swept away, and there was no time to repair the ugly cracks that appeared.

Swish...

The entire earth suddenly sank.

The rising mountain range also came to an abrupt halt.

Endless yellow sand was falling and sliding down.

It was as if a deep abyss had appeared deep underground, leading straight to the Earth's core, and was dragging the entire desert into it.

boom! ! !

A massive black shadow soared into the sky, its powerful force like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the heavens. The boundless impact swept around the surrounding area, breaking mountains, tearing the earth apart, turning the yellow sand into fine dust, and causing the entire desert to tremble violently, with flying sand and stones, and swirling clouds.

Like a raging storm, everything of a certain height within a radius of several hundred meters—dustlands, gullies, mounds—was ruthlessly flattened, as if an invisible hand had smoothed out all the protrusions, and ripples like water surged and rolled out in all directions.

Large rocks burst open, cracks shattered, and countless fragments of stone scattered across the mountains and fields, raining down from the sky.

"Such a display of power..."

Han Yi, who was rushing away into the distance, glanced back casually and his pupils shrank, his expression changing.

Whoosh...

He spread his arms and, as if gliding with the help of air currents, gently landed on the heads of the sandworms that remained on the periphery.

The terrain here is high, and it is at least several kilometers away from the oasis.

Turning back again, I focused my gaze and looked carefully at the location of the oasis.

The oasis was no longer visible. Because an immeasurably enormous creature had appeared there.

It was a huge black scorpion, at least a hundred meters long.

Its entire body was covered in a black, armor-like shell. Its pair of terrifying scorpion pincers were covered with dense barbs, like sharp scissors tens of meters long. The tips of its stingers on its back faintly glowed with a crystalline, secretive purple light, like the eyes of a demon shining from the depths of the abyss, filled with evil and ominous light.

"What the hell is this?"

Han Yi took a deep breath, feeling somewhat horrified.

It was a terrifying monster the size of a small mountain, its sheer size was awe-inspiring.

A sandworm that is over ten meters long is no different from a hair in front of this monster.

Even standing at a distance, you can still feel the earth trembling slightly beneath your feet. Looking around...

All around, one could see all sorts of creatures struggling to make ends meet.

Sand snakes, sand hares, sand camels... and even a dozen or so sand worms from deep underground all fled in a frenzy.

They don't distinguish between natural enemies or predators, and they are nocturnal or diurnal, all mixed together.

In an instant, all sorts of animal roars, snake hisses, and bird cries rang out, the sounds extremely mournful and filled with fear.

Even though the sand worms around Han Yi had their minds eroded by the spiritual seed, they still wanted to stay away due to their life instincts.

"This thing... is enough to run rampant and act with impunity in the Xisha region... it could probably be called the king that rules over all black scorpions..."

Han Yi narrowed his eyes, sensing the overwhelming and massive alien energy emanating from the monster. That energy definitely exceeded the Profound Realm, let alone the Soul Condensation Realm. On the surface, he should be unable to defeat it.

now think of it.

It's likely that the first scorpion swarm I encountered upon arriving in this world was targeted by this Emperor Black Scorpion.

Han Yi then carried out a series of massacres.

The fact that the second wave of enhanced black scorpions died instantly in the oasis just now drew special attention.

This is how the scene before our eyes came about.

Special treatment was given to Han Yi.
