Chapter 131: The Western Emperor Bell

Tick, tick, tick......

The world of collapse, the mage of the flames, is like a scene preserved in an old photograph, still in the infinite gray realm, only the counting of another plane of time and space is still faintly continuing.

Chongyang's expression remained frozen for a moment, but he didn't know how long it had been like this, and how long it would last. Time is stopped, the future is deprived, is it alive or destroyed?

The Initiator's Magic, or Spherical Matrix of Life Demons, is suspended in gray and static space, still alive and not functioning. In a manner similar to the same fate, it has brought powerful enemies that cannot be shaken at the level of ordinary magic into the abyss of immortality.

Time...... If the embodiment of space can be regarded as a kind of container, then what is the embodiment of time? The concept of four dimensions, the concept of point, line, and three-dimensional space occupies most of the three-dimensional space, and only time is the fourth dimension and the last dimension. It may seem that space is much more complex than time.

But not so.

The reason why time seems simple is that no one can really understand it, as if looking at the whole sea but only seeing the surface of the sea, so it is given a simple definition, but it cannot be defined by its infinite depth.

When time stops, is life alive or dead? That alone is enough to stump all of humanity.

Nothing can exist apart from time, and no one can resist it.

Top Legendary Mages can rejuvenate to a certain extent, which is an example of operating time, but that's only for them, and they're not actually getting younger, just staying in the best shape for the time being.

The real manipulation of time is a realm that can only be reached by a more noble existence.

"Crackling ......"

In the gray world, the black-clothed mage who was still and motionless, one eye suddenly moved, and then slowly, opened.

black pupils, in which.

"Time stops, the magic of controlling time, is indeed very powerful. But my Brahma chakra eye has cultivated and evolved to the 'Black Evil Pupil', and has the ability to see the flow of time, so that I will not be imprisoned here by this incomplete time magic. He thought to himself, blinking his right eye and looking left and right.

In the gray and dead space, a black eye flickered smartly, and the scene was very strange.

"Okay, now what do I do?"

Chongyang pondered, and after the black pupil observed the still world, his eyes finally fell on the life demon. To open a breakthrough from this static seal, the only way to do this is to work hard from this formation.

"That magic circle...... It's alive, it's life. As long as it is life, it can be influenced and controlled by my eyes. ”

Do you want to use the black pupil directly? Chongyang thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to be so exaggerated. That's it~

After all, according to his observations, although this magic array that fused all the mages of the Imperial Legion of Gliston was very strong, it was only a very incomplete version, and it was not very stable. Moreover, after this life demon used "time to stand still", it used up almost all of its energy, and it was already very weak.

"Just use the fourth round of eyes, the Purple Secret Pupil. ”

Chongyang's mutated right eye flowed, slowly transforming from deep black to mysterious purple, and then reflected a huge flat magic array that stood up to the sky.

Purple Secret Pupil Mutation Magic - "Spirit Golem"

The complicated plane magic array poured towards the life network, and the pouring process quickly shrunk, condensed, and gathered, and finally turned into a faint purple light, which drilled into the magic sphere like a thin needle, and then suddenly differentiated into countless messy and complex lines, eroding to all corners of the life network.

If there were sound organs in the life veins, it must be screaming in pain.

Control

Chongyang's right eye narrowed slightly, his eyes flashed, and the solidified life veins suddenly shook violently, shaking out countless gray-white cracks around him.

"It worked...... Now let me try to manipulate this thing. ”

It was as if the gray-white fossil had regained its vitality, and the life veins that had been completely mastered by Chongyang exuded brilliance, shattering and annihilating the gray-white heterogeneous bodies that covered it and even the surrounding large spaces. And the affected space, the things that have been detached from the rest re-operate, and the world then collapses, the dust then scatters, and the cracks continue to break......

"Let's move"

Under Chongyang's further operation, the life veins contracted and expanded violently, and after going back and forth several times, an extremely brilliant silver light burst out, and the tsunami washed over the entire space, washing away the gray-white heterogeneity of the space. Time flows again, and everything returns to its original color.

The black-clothed mage came out of the still time, and the fiery blade magic in his hand hurriedly shot out, turning into a hundred huge flashes of light that opened the world and pierced through the collapsed world, tore apart, and completely eliminated the ......

......

............

In the real world, the fortress of Yawiluk has been completely razed to the ground, leaving nothing but scorched traces. At a glance, the vast basin with the terrifying flame aura remained, as if telling everything that had just been born, and the soaring white mist that gradually condensed over the basin was like a tragic soul buried in the sea of fire.

Observing all this from afar, the nameless partisan forces sighed deeply. It's really just one person who completely destroyed the entire fortress that a legendary mage couldn't easily capture.

All the people in the Imperial Legion, including Gristone A Rennes, were wiped out, and none survived.

One can imagine what kind of shock this news will cause to the empire once it spreads. What kind of panic will those big people who are proud and inflated from above.

The partisans retreated wordlessly, with awe and reverence for the magical fire mage.

Kendo world, human palace.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty. Anjou and other priests respectfully greeted the return of Chongyang.

At this time, the black-clothed fire mage was disarmed from the elemental state, and returned to his normal complexion, as well as his normal face, and even the mutated white changed back to its original black.

The dark-eyed youth, the one who had just stepped out of the academy a few years ago, seemed to have nothing changed.

Anru and the others were naturally a little surprised, but now, no matter what happened to His Majesty, they had a certain degree of resistance, and they just waited quietly for His Majesty's explanation.

"Introduction, I'll call it 'Xihuang Bell', you can call it Little Bell. ”

Chongyang smiled and waved his hand, and a silver translucent sphere appeared in front of everyone, about the size of a basketball, with silver and purple talismans and magic arrays circulating in his body. And the surface of the sphere condenses two round cute eyes and a line-like mouth.

“^_^~~~~”

Xihuang Zhong, a new life nicknamed Xiao Zhong, leaned on Chongyang's shoulder, revealing a cute and shy smile to the women.

"Alive...... Living Magic Array?" An Ru and the others didn't see the scene born in the legendary world at that time, and at this time, they were shocked by a smiling face of the three-dimensional magic array with life, and their eyes were a little dazed.

"That's right, its existence is a bit special, and it's a bit tricky to explain......" Chongyang touched the top of the sphere's head, and Xiao Zhong's smiling face became even happier.

The life line of the Imperial Legion was controlled by Chongyang with the magic of a spirit puppet, erasing all residual thoughts, and transforming some parts of it, making it miniaturized and self-conscious.

Although it is very simple to say, it is not easy for Chongyang to enlighten a new form of life, and it took a lot of effort and a certain amount of risk to complete this initiative.

Now Xiao Zhong's consciousness is equivalent to a newborn small animal, and it is impossible to predict how it will grow in the future, but it is certain that it will definitely not harm Chongyang, and will obey all of Chongyang's orders.

After Chongyang's explanation, Anru and others had a hazy understanding of the existence of the Western Emperor Bell. The woman is sensual, and soon a group of curious priests are fascinated by the simple and lovely little clock, vying to touch it and hug it.

"*_*~~~~~~" Xiao Zhong was pulled back and forth a little dizzy, and suddenly a flicker disappeared from the crowd of onlookers and returned to Chongyang's shoulder.

Anru and the others were startled, and with their eyesight, they couldn't see how Xiao Zhong had used to get out of the crowd.

"Interesting little thing. The golden beauty in the red robe walked swaying, reached out and grabbed the small bell from Chongyang's shoulder, and gazed carefully.

"Time...... Really?" Yan Demon's beautiful eyes turned, staring at his disciple's face.

"Yes, the Western Emperor Bell has the ability to control time, but it's not complete. Chongyang said.

"Interesting life forms, interesting abilities......" Flame Demon tugged at the silver orb, "give me this pet." ”

"※_※~~~~~" Xiao Zhong, whose face was deformed, protested in pain.

"It's not a pet, and don't just want to take it apart and study it, it's a self-conscious being. Chongyang smiled bitterly.

"Hmph...... Hypocrite. The Flame Demon let go of Xiao Zhong, who immediately hid behind Chongyang, trembling all over.

Let's not talk about this strange demon creature for the time being. The battle of Yawiluk was a glorious victory, and the specific battle process was a precious practical material, and the fire demon asked Chongyang various questions on the spot to grasp the actual combat situation, and Chongyang also answered them one by one.

While the pair were communicating, Anjou and the others quietly left. However, it didn't take long for the Silver Saintess to hurry back again.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb you. Anjou walked in front of the two who were discussing enthusiastically, her face a little heavy, "There is news from Sasha's side, His Royal Highness Lawrence...... It may be almost gone. ”

The discussion came to an abrupt end.

In the prayer hall of the Human Emperor Palace, a huge diamond-shaped healing trough ten meters high stood in the center of a large hall, the talisman and the magic array depicted on the trough surface flashed with dazzling red light, and the top of the trough divided into many conduits linked to the ceiling, and the bottom of the trough was directly connected to the huge magic array heart on the ground.

Hundreds of priests, including High Priestess Sasha, chanted incantations like ancient ballads at various points of this vast array.

As the magic intensified, some free talismans gradually appeared around the healing tank, and the number of them increased, and finally spread to the entire hall. The talisman rotates and circles, with the healing groove as the center, and flows repeatedly according to the established rules.

When Chongyang and Anjou arrived at the scene, they saw such a scene.

"Lawrence ......"

In the diamond-shaped cold metal groove, lay the Emperor of Soldiers, who was already extremely weak. The life of the second prince of the empire has finally come to an end.

"The situation has deteriorated suddenly, but ...... This is actually expected to a large extent, after all, the situation of His Royal Highness Lawrence is too unoptimistic, when will it ...... None of them are surprising. Anjou whispered in Chongyang's ear, "Sasha, they did their best, Your Majesty. ”

"Can't you just try to seal him up like that?" Chongyang said.

"Sasha tried. Anjou shook his head, "But no matter what kind of seal is used, it can't completely freeze the vitality of His Highness Lawrence, it's very weird. It's as if there is something undetectable that is constantly draining His Highness's vitality out. ”

"I can help. Chongyang's brows furrowed, and he waved his hand to summon the little bell beside him, "The Western Emperor Bell can also assist and completely seal it from the concept of time foundation."

"This ......" Anru looked at Xiao Zhong and then at Chongyang, "I don't know...... Now I'll take Sasha out first, and ask Your Majesty to discuss it with her. With that, she walked into the Great Array and exchanged roles with the High Priest who presided over the Prayer Hall.

"I don't think it's a ** problem, Your Majesty. Sasha came to Chongyang, and after hearing Chongyang's thoughts, she thought for a moment and said slowly.

"The technique of simply sealing **, the prayer hall has been very perfect. However, the truth is that no matter what we do, His Highness's vitality is constantly draining. Although I can't find out the reason, based on my experience in presiding over the prayer hall for so many years and the records of the past dynasties, I think that the situation of His Highness Lawrence has touched the so-called 'dead line'. ”

"'Dead line'?" Chongyang frowned.

It's a concept that's hard to explain or put into words to understand. To put it simply...... Your Majesty, how long do you think I will live?"

"Huh?" Chongyang was surprised by the abrupt question, but Sasha's expression was very serious.

"Human life is determined by its own condition and external factors, of course, the distinction between the two is not absolute, but in general, when the condition of human beings themselves has been improved to the limit, or when it can no longer be changed, the boundary of life determined solely by external factors is the 'dead line'. ”

"External factors in this sense do not simply refer to factors such as living environment, existential threats, and life conditions, but are a conceptual synthesis, even including other people's perception of their own life, other people's perspectives, environmental perspectives, and even higher, inexplicable perspectives, the established limits of individual life ......"

"Once an individual life reaches this limit, it is a dead line. At this time, no matter how much you try to improve your physical condition or strengthen your external healing conditions, it is useless, because the whole environment, or the whole world, has already determined that the individual is 'dead'. ”

"I know it's hard to accept at once, Your Majesty, but as far as I can see, His Highness Lawrence's condition is no longer merely an 'incurable disease,' and it cannot be alleviated by any way of improving the local condition. Theoretically, in order to break through the 'dead line', it is necessary to change the whole world's perspective on the life of the individual, which can also be called crossing the 'cliff of the dead line'. ”

Chongyang listened a little flustered. Doesn't it sound like the definition of fate? Lawrence's death was predestined?

What are you kidding, Lawrence will become like this, the fundamental reason is that he accepted the extremely risky awakening ritual and failed, what does this have to do with fate?

Chongyang was a little irritable, and was about to refute Sasha's concept, but suddenly thought of something, and faintly felt a huge sense of distortion.

Awakening Ritual, Dead Line, Cliff of Dead Line...... He seemed to understand something, and wanted to sort it out, but he didn't know anything.

After a moment of silence, he could only shake his head and put this absurd feeling in the back of his mind.

"Anyway, I'm going to try it, use the power of me and the West Emperor Bell to stop Lawrence's time"
