Chapter 394 Forbidden Existence: The Servant? The Land of Eclipse! Is the Sun Fake?!
"It was these guys!"
The human race's top leaders, their minds sluggish, slowly furrowed their brows.
This is an extremely special royal family. Unlike the Huiyuan and Du'e royal families, they were not conceived by the spirituality branching from the river of time, but were created by a mysterious treasure—the ancient Angel Bell.
Its form is that of a mysterious angel that has been skinned, an ancient bell wrapped with arms, limbs, and fleshy membranes, and most of its body has long since decayed and is covered with densely packed time-eating worms that can only be born in the depths of the river of time.
This is a kind of aimless, illusory insect with thirteen forms. Legend has it that it corresponds to the symbols that were first conceived in the river of time, so it is not an evolved form, but each of them has a different focus on the time-related abilities.
Legend has it that collecting thirteen types of Time-Eclipse Worms will allow one to create a time-based path and control a portion of time!
Although it's only a part, but...
The disciple who mastered the branch of time—the power of aging—shocked the world; Luo Qingyue, who mastered the power of history, was feared by all races; and the one who mastered the power of slowing down was an outstanding member of the royal family.
Lu Yu also asked Lilith about time, and received a seemingly plausible but ultimately unhelpful answer.
Many people speculate that even great beings can only borrow time to gain eternity, not to possess it, and there's even a saying that goes like this...
Rules belong to the Mother River, time belongs to taboo!
Because taboos exist illogically, they are not bound by time and transcend everything!
Although most people have never seen the Forbidden Ones and only have an imagination based on their own strength, the fact that even the branches are so terrifying proves how terrifying the power of time is!
The Time Worm that appeared on the old Angel's Clock is the "0" worm, which is always bent over and outlines a passage, representing the beginning of everything, and also like the dividing line between the past and the present.
But without other time symbols, it can only be stagnant or slow.
No one knows when it appeared in the main world, nor whether it is a world-class treasure nurtured by time, or a sacred relic of some great being.
Even...
Serving a forbidden angel?
Its first appearance was in a kingdom where a true king had died of old age. By the time people discovered it, the true king and trillions of beings in the kingdom had already disappeared.
It stands there quietly.
All life that attempts to possess it will be devoured by time and turned to ashes.
Apart from the eternal supreme beings, even true kings have a limit to their lifespan, which they are quite wary of, and after many failures, they no longer want to try.
I thought it would become a special restricted area, but I didn't expect...
The Slow-Wheeling Royal Family Has Emerged!
They are extremely similar to humans, with human heads, but their backs and skin surfaces are covered with densely packed, inverted clocks embedded in their flesh. They have no hands, but rather insect-like bodies that can continuously extend.
Furthermore, a true king appeared and established a unique Eclipse Kingdom!
Many people suspect that they are the product of the Time-Eating Worm being modified, and that they also possess a branch of the time system—the power of slowing down!
It can add a slow pace of time to everything!
If others slow down, it's as if they speed up.
The stronger the Slowing Royal Family is, the more clocks will grow on their bodies, and the higher the added slowing multiplier will be. They can even affect the flesh, spirit, or skills of their enemies.
Imagine, in just one glance, your thinking is slowed down a hundredfold, turning you into a sitting duck.
It can even seal the lives of those who offend them in this sluggishness, while keeping them conscious and subjecting them to endless torment until their minds break down.
The reason they have these terrible nicknames is that using the power of slowing down requires the time of one's life as a price.
But they can't treat themselves as expendable resources, so...
The Slow-Moving Royal Family frequently releases special Eclipse swarms that steal time from a large number of creatures, much like a band of thieves.
In this alien realm, even giants and ecological masters must be careful to have their time stolen, and many races under the Eclipse Kingdom have become "blood bags".
They were angry but dared not speak out!
Moreover, their presence is felt in all relics and temples related to the old era, where they annihilate any life that approaches them.
However, they weren't interested in the treasures inside; instead, they were very interested in the ancient books, the old stone slabs, and things that bore the weight of ancient times, as if they were searching for something...
They'll be targeting anything related to time!
One of the reasons Lu Yu weakened Luo Qingyue's performance in front of countless people was to guard against the slow-moving royal family.
They are like a swarm of despicable insects, stealing the time of living beings in this world to feed themselves and...
That mysterious ancient bell!
The previously slow-moving royal family, apart from showing their strength in the arena, had kept a low profile the rest of the time. Although the human faction had always been wary of them, they never expected that they would reveal their true colors at a crucial moment.
This time, it was Prince Chizuka of the Slow-Paced Royal Family who, together with several top figures of his clan, took action and set up a large number of rituals, using forbidden techniques to summon the projection of the [Old Angel Bell], which transformed into a barrier.
It enveloped the human camp, putting them into a state of stagnation!
Even top-tier giants who can process information take several seconds to react.
And that is the opportunity!
"The one who laughs last laughs best!"
Chi Zhong sneered inwardly. Even if Du'e Tai Sui and Hui Wu hadn't been defeated by Lu Yu, he still looked down on those two guys.
After all, in the face of time, misfortune and evil wishes are merely low-level abilities.
Time is the most sublime force!
"But I never imagined that the ancient pages my father had been searching for would appear among humans, and be obtained by such a weakling, turning into a pet beast. What a waste of the power of history!"
Chizuka was overjoyed, because the battle for the Primal Magic Tome took place on the border of the ancient times, and they had received a revelation from the ancient Angel's Bell, arriving ahead of time and seizing the most pages.
He originally brought the pages with him, hoping to find other parts of the original grimoire in the Sun Relics.
This book relates to a forbidden being, and is even intricately connected to the "Zhong" that created them.
However, he did not expect to meet Luo Qingyue, who could summon historical creatures, at the Myriad Races Arena. In particular, the aura of the ancient scholar butterfly was extremely similar to that of the book pages, causing a resonance.
He originally planned to kill the ancient scholar butterfly after matching with him, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to appear out of nowhere and ruin the plan.
"But it's the same now..."
Knowing that the Heavenly Bell Domain couldn't last long with so many powerful figures surrounding it, Chi Zhong decisively made his move.
Ultimate Technique - Time-Stealing Insect Swarm!
boom!
The Zero Insects surged forth in a mighty wave, but after entering the Slow Barrier, they were unaffected and transformed into streaks of light, heading towards the Dark Sun Watcher!
However, his target was not Lu Yu, but...
Luo Qingyue!
The Time-Eroding Worms gathered together, carrying numerous fragments of book pages, and emitted a mysterious power that interfered with the Dark Sun Watcher, forcibly opening a spatial portal that connected the inside and outside of the cabin.
This is the power of book pages!
The Gate of Time Eclipse converged with a massive symbol of zero, resembling a clock face, but without hands. Instead, dozens of illusory chains extended outwards, entering the cabin and revealing numerous figures that had been slowed down.
Forbidden Spell - Chains of Eclipse!
Although Cui Han and other bigwigs had already reacted, they didn't have time to react, and even the shock in their eyes was slowly emerging.
Before the power of slowness, all things are merely lambs to the slaughter!
"Come back!"
Chi Zhong didn't care about the two giants. He only prepared to use the Eclipse Chains to kill Luo Qingyue, Lu Yu and others. When he was about to leave the Beast Taming Space, he was grabbed by a large hand.
"What?!"
Chizuka was shocked to see that the paper knight could still move freely.
Even a slowing force can be neutralized?
Is there any limit to this guy's immunity to control?
Lu Yu raised his head, his expression calm, and inwardly sighed:
"What a silly child!"
While Paper Knight's immunity to control effects is a bug, it's not enough to ignore a barrier that even top-tier giants can affect.
Not yet!
Lu Yu originally intended to use the Chaos Egg to smash everything, but unexpectedly... the first thing to take effect was the Star Leaf that Boss White Fox had given him, which shimmered with pale starlight.
Faced with a slow-moving force, even though there is a huge gap in the level of power, it is like a superior skill dominating a lower-level one. It can be overwhelmed by the ultimate power, but it cannot be controlled.
The starlight shimmered on the Star Leaf, freeing Lu Yu and his many pets from the sluggish interference.
This made him think deeply...
Where does the White Fox's power of time come from?
"Your act of challenging our Lord is indeed heroic, but you have not shown enough humility!"
As he pondered, the Paper Knight's voice rang out, and flames as bright as the sun spread from his hand, instantly igniting the chains. Countless insects howled and tried to escape, but they disintegrated in mid-air, turning into ashes that fell to the ground.
The fragments of the book pages were quickly pieced together, transforming into a complete sheet of paper. Just as they were about to leave, they were forcibly suppressed by numerous redemption roses.
The paper knight quickly put it away, his gaze calm. After redeeming the filth and tens of thousands of souls, more than 19,000 redemption roses emerged from the void, drifting and quickly gathering and overlapping together, transforming into a giant rose spear!
This contains Paper Knight's profound analysis and understanding of his master's philosophy.
It deeply understands that a belated salvation is not a complete redemption; it should send them on the path of redemption and into rebirth the moment they meet.
This is the master's supreme mercy, striking them until they are humble enough, and finally achieving the sublimation of their souls!
It transformed into the ultimate skill before our eyes...
Redemption Rose Knight's Lance!
"This is the true measure of redemption!"
This is the way to save the world!
boom!
The Redemption Rose Rider's Lance was hurled from the Dark Sun Watcher, surrounded by pale starlight, ignoring the interference of the Redemption Barrier, and locked onto Chizuka like chasing stars and the moon.
A vast and magnificent phantom of a mysterious flower garden, far removed from the mortal world, hurtled towards the opponent!
Click!
In a fraction of a second, it traversed hundreds of meters, transforming into an arc of light that tore the world apart, making Chizuka sense a dangerous aura.
However, his expression remained calm. The moment the Redemption Rose Knight's Spear approached, it was grasped by an insect's leg. The power of slowing spread, and it silently disintegrated in the infinite slowness.
The top powerhouse of the Slow-Moving Royal Family has made its move!
He telepathically transmitted his voice to Chi Zhong, saying, "Your Highness, time is running out!"
There are too many targets. In another second, the human race will break free of control!
"I see."
Although Chizuka was unhappy and had lost an extra page, he understood even more clearly that the main purpose of coming here this time was to explore the ruins.
As for Lu Yu and Luo Qingyue, there's no rush to kill them later. Anyway, I have other pages, and I know this thing can't be destroyed!
So he took out the silver sphere that he had prepared beforehand, which had many silver cobra reliefs on it.
This is a top-tier secret treasure, second only to a world-class secret treasure, named the [Eye of the Void Serpent].
It is a creature that only appears in the "Void-Broken Ecosystem." As its name suggests, the spatial coordinates in the Void-Broken Ecosystem are constantly disordered and out of control, continuously cutting and piecing together the void. One can easily be shattered into countless pieces by the severed void. The Void-Turning Serpent is an ancient and exotic species born from this ecosystem. Although its offensive capabilities are average, it is born with the ability to forcibly switch between different spaces, adapting to the harsh environment. Even a True King might not be able to capture them.
Once crafted into a secret treasure, it retains the ability to swap positions and can take effect across a major tier.
In other words, the ecological master can use it to swap positions with the true king, provided that he is not crushed thousands of times by a single glance!
However, it is also an extremely terrifying ability, which can be used to escape or send opponents into dangerous restricted areas.
"Change it!"
Chizuka channeled his power into the [Eye of the Void Serpent]. The silver sphere in his hand began to wriggle, opened its eyes, and revealed a vertical pupil condensed with brilliant spatial light. Mysterious spatial runes emanated from it, instantly transforming into a mysterious six-sided illusory space.
The sun chariot, which included him, and the human camp, including Lu Yu, were enveloped.
Then, they switched places!
The entire process of striking, exchanging blows, and switching positions takes less than a second!
Halfway through the second, several top human leaders broke free from their restraints ahead of time.
"You can keep that thing with you for now. I'll come back for it after we finish exploring the ruins!"
Chi Zhong rode thirty-two white sun horses, charging majestically into the portal that resembled a setting sun. As their voices echoed, they also scattered a special [Time-Eroding Potion], which began to corrode the spatial coordinates of the entire portal.
Click!
Meanwhile, the Slow Angel Domain, which lasted for two seconds, was shattered by a massive spiritual shock, and many human powerhouses returned to the correct time. However, there was a sense of unease, as if they couldn't get back into the right time zone!
Although the situation was slowed down, everyone knew what had just happened, and their faces were grim as they looked at the numerous, large and small holes that had been corroded into the exits.
"The Slowing Royal Family really went all out, using a potion made from the blood of the Time-Eating Worm to disrupt the time coordinates of the portal and restrict all spatial storage abilities."
Cui Han stared at the exit in front of him with a grim expression. These wormholes covered the entire portal and were still shrinking.
It can now accommodate ordinary carriages, but Lu Yu's Dark Sun Watcher has absolutely no chance, and these kinds of relics simply cannot be put into spatial storage capabilities or items.
Although the [Void Elixir] cannot permanently erode the exit, the Shadow River Aberration is imminent, and time is running out.
Lu Yu has to make a decision!
The other human powerhouses also looked solemn. Although they had been prepared, the power of time was indeed too strange.
If the opponent tries to kill them, it will be easy. The giants have set up a lot of traps and treasures that will trigger countermeasures when attacked. They will not sit idly by and wait to die. They may be able to bury their opponents instead.
But simply slowing down thinking and shifting the focus is not enough.
The methods used were extremely despicable!
Although Lu Yu was unaffected, even with his strength, he couldn't stop the opponent!
boom!
At this moment, a large number of carriages carrying geniuses from alien races and demons had also arrived, followed by the Shadow River Aberrations that were chasing after them. They didn't have much time left.
They went from being far ahead to falling behind.
Cui Han looked at Lu Yu and quickly asked, "Can you go in?"
After all, Lu Yu has created too many miracles during this period. He was not affected just now, and he might still have a way to turn the tide.
"I definitely can't get through this door, my car is too big!" Lu Yu shook his head, giving a definite answer.
"As expected... there's no other way."
The others sighed, but knew that the other party couldn't be omnipotent, so they got up and prepared to enter the exit.
This not only wiped out our enormous advantage, but now we also have to be prepared to be ambushed by the other side!
As expected, you can't underestimate any guy until the very end.
"Ugh!"
Cui Han was also somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but quickly composed himself and prepared to advise Lu Yu to make a clean break and abandon the Dark Sun Monitor. However, he saw the little spider on Lu Yu's shoulder suddenly make a move, and a series of Void Saint Seals appeared.
Everyone assumed that Lu Yu was going to intervene to stop the decay of these wormholes, so they didn't pay any attention. But they saw him accelerate the shrinking of the wormholes.
The sun carriage could barely pass before, but now even people are having trouble getting through!
"What is this guy doing?!"
Everyone was shocked. Was Lu Yu going to trap them all on the Shadow River because he couldn't get in himself?
Dongfang Yuan's gaze froze for a moment, then he turned to look at Lu Yu. Although he couldn't see through Lu Yu's heart, he could see his calm attitude through the window of his eyes.
Therefore, she did not question him, but waited for his answer.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lu Yu said calmly, "If you don't want to die, don't step through this wrong door."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone frowned.
The path of glory ends here; the spirit of the ruins cannot provide guidance for certain death, because it doesn't make logical sense.
Instead of going through all that trouble to make them go in circles, it's easier to just kill them.
Cui Han recalled Lu Yu's strange behavior of suddenly slowing down and driving alongside her earlier. She had initially thought it was for safety reasons, but now it seemed... he might have discovered something. So she quickly asked, "What did you discover?"
"Since the River of Sunlight contains the ultimate, reversed spirituality of the sun, representing shadow, how could it possibly be a setting sun gate half-submerged in the river if it wanted to leave? Wouldn't that mean it would sink to the bottom?"
Lu Yu didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated his thoughts, using declarative sentences throughout.
Because the guardian near the Gate of Sunset trembles, the Mantra "Gate" indicates that this is not the exit. As the manifestation of all concepts of "gate," it represents authority in a certain sense...
No, it should be said that it sets all the industry standards!
My rules are the rules!
Lu Yu wouldn't doubt the "gate" that even the Mother River wanted, so he also had his doubts.
As for Chizuka, the original magic book fragments on his body were discovered long before the Paper Knight evolved. He even accelerated suddenly when he approached the exit, clearly intending to cause trouble.
Lu Yu had no objection to this; if someone wanted to die, let him go quickly.
"Is this... a fake sun?"
Everyone was shocked. Although they wanted to refute it, this absurd logic...
That does sound very reasonable.
Many of the archaeologists in the group also had doubts, but because they were either fleeing or being led around by Lu Yu the whole time, they had no time to consider it.
Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, there really is a problem!
Among them, Wang Si, who had experienced Lu Yu's miraculous abilities at the Hidden Remains Emperor Temple, volunteered to speak out: "I think Lu Yu's conjecture is very likely. Since we are exploring the Sun's relics, we should follow the laws of the Sun. If we want to get rid of the Sun's shadow, we should rise with the power of the Sun and rise together, instead of sinking to the bottom together."
The others were skeptical, but more so of Lu Yu's mental state.
Moreover, the mutants will arrive in no more than ten seconds, and if they cannot find an exit, they are likely to perish with them.
boom!
Just as the giants were about to ask questions, the Sunset Gate continued to sink, and a muffled sound came from the inside of the gate, as if something was trying to break out from within.
Interspersed among them were shouts of shock and anger, yelling things like "Wrong!" and "Damn it!" which sent chills down everyone's spines.
There really is something wrong with this door!
"What are you all standing there for? Nail the coffin lid shut for our Prince Chizhong!" Lu Yu said, instructing the little spider to accelerate the shrinking of the wormhole.
As a reward for his exploration, we buried him directly!
Giants like Cui Han also stepped in to help dissolve the wormhole, anxiously asking, "If this isn't the entrance, where is it?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes at this question. Why couldn't these guys use their brains to think for themselves? He explained, "Since the Shadow River represents the extreme reversal of solar spirituality, then the real exit actually told us the answer from the very beginning, and that is..."
"What a plot twist!"
After Lu Yu finished speaking, seeing the large number of alien carriage ruins and mutated tides approaching, he decisively drove the Dark Sun Monitor and began to circle along the Sunset Gate. The others followed suit quickly.
There's no other way now.
We have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless!
The other alien races followed suit when they saw this scene. They didn't think that Lu Yu and the other human experts would deliberately throw their lives away!
Lu Yu didn't have time to pay them any attention. He quickly circled around to the back of the Sunset Gate, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I knew it!"
Before him appeared a portal almost identical to the Gate of Sunset, but smaller, which overlapped with it.
However, while the Sunset Gate sinks, this one floats quietly on the River of Shadows, rising slowly, its radiant light like the rising sun, bringing boundless hope.
It brought a sense of warmth to everyone.
Only by overcoming the darkness and deception of night can we see the sun!
The losers will fall before dawn!
"Roar roar roar!"
At the same time, led by the alien races, a massive tide of mutated creatures surged forth, including powerful beings at the level of ecological masters. These beings appeared as enormous shadows, like giant suns with legs, constantly striding forward. The sun carriages from the alien races that lagged behind had no chance to resist and were directly crushed by their oppressive aura.
Rumble!
A massive tsunami surged through the Shadow River, engulfing all life.
The immense pressure made him feel suffocated, as if his body would collapse at any moment.
"Run!"
Lu Yu decisively shut down the Eye of Truth and stepped into the Gate of Dawn with the Dark Sun Watcher, while the others rushed in one after another.
A massive wave surged forth, attempting to engulf the gate to the rising sun!
However, after the last person entered, the Gate of Rising Sun slowly rose, the Gate of Setting Sun sank, and the entire River of Shadows suddenly flashed, revealing the true scene at the bottom of the river.
Nine enormous, unimaginably large beams of light overlapped and continuously merged and devoured each other. In the instant they appeared, they turned the ecological master into ashes.
But soon, it returned to eternal silence once again!
On the other side, as the warm light shifted, the world before Lu Yu's eyes changed, and the scene that came into view made his pupils tremble slightly.
"Is this the real remnant of the sun?"
