In the next instant, countless droplets of blood erupted in front of Long Chen.
Era Skyfiend controlled the Death Reign, which meant that he controlled the entire world that Long Chen was in. Right now, he was like the creator, and the Death Reign moved according to his will.
This made Era Skyfiend extremely difficult to deal with. He was even more difficult to deal with than Long Chen had imagined, especially when Long Chen couldn't find him in the Death Reign at all.
The core of the Death Reign, which should have belonged to him, had actually fallen into the hands of Era Skyfiend. Instead, the other party had made use of the core to become so tyrannical. He was naturally unwilling, but there was nothing he could do no matter how unwilling he was.
"Hehe …"
Era Skyfiend's laughter reverberated throughout the entire world.
At the same time, the entire world moved according to the will of Era Skyfiend.
"Heart of Time."
All of a sudden, an endless amount of blood gathered before Long Chen's eyes to form a blood-red heart that was tens of thousands of zhang tall. That heart was beating, and the power of time and the power of the Death World could be considered to have fused together perfectly. This caused the power of the laws to rise tremendously, surpassing all the laws that Long Chen had encountered before.
In terms of nomological laws, Era Skyfiend was the only one who could contend with Long Chen.
"The Heart of Time previously was black, and it wasn't as powerful as it is now. The same nomological laws are actually worlds apart."
Era Skyfiend didn't give Long Chen much time to think.
"Time, reverse the flow into a river."
This Heart of Time was also an application of Time Reversal. The throbbing heart continued to beat, emitting loud bangs that assaulted Long Chen intensely. Just this sound alone was an irresistible impact of nomological laws.
With each impact, the strength of his body would disappear a little.
"If I'm trapped in this Heart of Time, I'm afraid I'll lose all my strength. However, the nomological laws of this Heart of Time are so powerful."
Long Chen knew that Era Skyfiend was just warming up. Now that this Heart of Time was born, he wanted to crush Long Chen directly. Especially in this world, Long Chen could feel the crisis of impending death.
It was a death crisis that made his scalp tingle.
The Heart of Time pulsed, seemingly enveloping the entire Death World. Right now, it was moving towards Long Chen. Because the Heart of Time was too big, Long Chen had no way to escape. In the blink of an eye, he was already within the Heart of Time.
"I'll give you one last chance. Surrender? I don't want you to lose all your power when you surrender and return to your starting point."
The voice of the Era Heavenly Demon swept across the world and vibrated in the Heart of Time.
What answered him was Long Chen's Ghost-Blood Curse.
"In that case, I'll let you see your original appearance."
Skyfiend Ji was very decisive this time. He wouldn't make the same mistake twice. He wouldn't give Long Chen a chance to reverse the situation.
Boom.
The Heart of Time throbbed violently for the first time.
Within the Heart of Time, time flowed in reverse. It was as if a beautiful woman had turned into bones. His Chaos Divine Power was disappearing, and he was even forgetting the laws he had comprehended. The easiest thing to forget was, of course, resurrection.
"I can't forget it."
Long Chen clenched his teeth and made his final decision.
"Since he has the Death World's core, if I don't use any special moves, I won't be able to defeat him in a head-on battle. I have to say that he's far stronger than me."
At least he could admit this.
Skyfiend Ji was not much weaker than Di Jun.
"If you want me to return to my original state, then you have to take control of my life. Then, watch me defy the heavens and change my fate."
Rumble.
Doctor Long Chen roared, causing the entire Heart of Time to tremble.
His will and power were all condensed into one. When the power to defy the heavens and change his fate was born, the magical laws of fate formed a protective barrier, forcing the power of the Time Reversal out of Long Chen's body. At the same time, it invisibly stimulated Long Chen, giving him incomparable power at this moment.
"Sword of Time."
Long Chen slashed out with his sword.
This was simply a combination of the Sword of Time and defying the heavens and changing fate. A beam of dazzling sword qi burst out, and time was extremely violent. This was a destructive power that belonged to time. Supported by the Sword of Time, it burst out and tore the Heart of Time apart.
Rip.
Long Chen's torn Heart of Time rushed out.
Behind him, the Heart of Time rapidly collapsed, turning into a sky full of blood rain, and disappeared from the Death World. In the confrontation of the laws of time, Long Chen relied on the Sword of Time to defy the heavens and change his fate to gain a slight upper hand.
But he knew in his heart that he had reached his limit, and yet Skyfiend Ji still hadn't appeared.
"You have surpassed all my expectations once again. To be honest, if you were willing to submit to me, I would treat you as the most important existence in my life. But unfortunately …"
Skyfiend Ji again.
It was as if he was the Death World. No matter where he was, his voice, his power, and his laws were everywhere.
He now understood that he had to truly suppress Long Chen and make him lose all hope. Only then would he have a chance to be subdued. Therefore, Skyfiend Ji was also in a frenzy at this moment.
"End the battle. Time Prison, your last chance."
Long Chen couldn't imagine that he had actually fused the laws of Time Prison with the Death World so perfectly. This entire world was a Time Prison.
In other words, as long as Long Chen was still in the Death World, there was no way he could escape from this Time Prison.
Rumble.
Countless blood-colored pillars of time descended on the blood sea. As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be no end to them.
And Long Chen was at the center of all the pillars of time.
In that instant, all the blood-colored pillars of time shone brightly.
In the end, even though he had used all his strength, he was still suppressed by Skyfiend Ji. When the power of Time Stop attacked him, he maintained his original movement and fell into an eternal stillness, unable to move.
It was also Time Stop, but it was used much better than his Eternal Instant.
In fact, in this blood sea's Time Prison, even one's thoughts would be frozen by Skyfiend Ji.
At this moment, Long Chen finally understood that this was the difference between him and the current Skyfiend Ji. Although it could be said that Skyfiend Ji had the advantage of the Death World's core, life and death were different from victory and defeat. Battles were never fair.
The entire blood sea was suppressed by countless pillars of time, unable to move. There were at least hundreds of thousands of pillars of time. Long Chen remembered that the last time Skyfiend used this Time Prison, there were less than ten pillars of time. This was the most obvious change in the power of Time Prison.
"If he had used this Time Prison from the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to resist. From the beginning, he had the absolute upper hand. The Death World's core helped him a lot."
At this time, it was useless even if he was unwilling.
Fate was like this.
When the entire Death World came to a standstill, not a single drop of blood moved. Even Long Chen's thoughts began to freeze. Then, Era's Sky Demon finally appeared in the sea of blood. He appeared before Long Chen, holding a red rose in his hand. It was not a real flower, but a condensation of laws.
"This is the White Bones of Beauty."
Skyfiend stood in front of him and smiled. "Now, I have the condition to tell you whether or not you want to submit. Under the Time Prison, you have no chance at all. The White Bones of Beauty will completely annihilate you, leaving no trace. You will disappear in this blood sea forever. I will only give you one last chance. Submit or die. It's your choice."
Although it was a Time Prison, it was also under the control of Skyfiend Ji. Long Chen suddenly found that he could speak. He had one last chance. This time, it was really either submit or die.
In the Divine Nation, those who knew what was happening outside were all worried for him.
This was the most dangerous moment. Only by submitting could he survive. Long Chen's life was not just his own, but the lives of the entire Divine Dragon Clan and the trillions of living beings in the Divine Nation.
His decision was of the utmost importance.
"Before you make your choice, I'll let you know some things you don't know. Then you'll understand why I wanted you to sign the Giant Demon Contract with me from the very beginning and have you serve me." Ji Yuanshen said indifferently.
His third eye of the Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon looked at Long Chen coldly. At this point, he pinned the blood-red rose to Long Chen's ear and smiled. "Listen carefully. You can choose not to make a decision, but if your final decision is not what I want to hear, then no matter how much I want to have you, I can only bear with the pain. After all, you are a dangerous thing. I don't want to take too many risks."
Looking at the indifferent Long Chen with the rose, the Skyfiend smiled faintly and began to narrate, "I know what happened one epoch ago. The Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent was destroyed by the Sky Devouring Clan and the Ancestral Dragon. The order of the myriad worlds was changed. Even today, the Sky Devouring Clan is still eating away at the myriad worlds. One day, they will absorb all the energy in the myriad worlds and destroy this place. The entire myriad worlds will disappear for eternity."
The Skyfiend's words made Long Chen's heart tremble.
This was what his father had told him after crossing 100,000 years, and the Skyfiend actually knew so much.
"Of course, this is all your business. Let me tell you, we, the Primeval Troll, were produced directly after the Giant Divine Fiend Beast devoured many Divine Dragons. We call the Giant Divine Fiend Beast 'Heavenly Mother'. The Heavenly Mother originally wanted us, the Primeval Troll, to slaughter all the Divine Fiends of the myriad worlds after the end of the epoch and control the myriad worlds. However, they later discovered that directly transforming the Divine Fiends of the myriad worlds and changing the rules and order of the myriad worlds would make it easier to eat away at the world, so we, the Primeval Troll, were abandoned."
