"42 seconds."

Lu Ban watched as the time displayed on the wooden tablet in his hand began flowing normally again according to his sense of time. He said, "That monster exists during the forty-second second of every minute."

Since time was delayed and frozen in this windless zone, there had to be similar creatures that existed here in some special way.

The skeletal serpent in the clouds had been severely polluted and mutated, while the monster Lu Ban had just seen had clearly suffered serious pollution as well. Or rather, it might have been the source of the pollution.

Under some special mechanism, it had been sealed away. However, it clearly was not an existence that could be completely sealed like the Old Ones. Alternatively, perhaps the person who had imposed the seal was not as powerful as the residents of the Glorious Realm and had been unable to isolate the pollution completely.

Thus, the monster had been bound to the forty-second second of every minute. When time reached forty-two seconds, the monster would appear in reality and try to escape. But one second was simply not enough for it to get away. It might not even know what was happening to it and continued moving at its original pace. Under such circumstances, however, it could never escape the restraints of that second. No matter how it struggled, it could only affect reality for one second.

In fact, after seeing this, Lu Ban more or less understood the nature of this windless zone.

Everything here was affected by the supernatural power occupying this place, and the flow of time around it was affected as well. For ordinary humans, their existence might last only one ten-thousandth of a second. Even if they merely blinked once, thousands of years might pass in
