The formation patterns along the edges were still flickering, but they had lost their ability to repair themselves and could barely keep the breach from widening.
"It worked."
Zhou Xuan put away the jade bottle and turned toward the Console.
Only then did Ji Chen and Old Ancestor Cangwu dare to breathe deeply.
"Such a method is simply unheard of." Ji Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice filled with reverence.
Zhou Xuan ignored his flattery.

The propulsion formation patterns at the stern also stopped operating.
Stripped of every source of power, the entire ship became a massive piece of scrap metal drifting through the void.
"What are you doing?" Old Ancestor Cangwu asked in confusion, instinctively trying to summon sword qi to protect himself.
"Put away your sword qi!" Zhou Xuan barked.

Zhou Xuan stared at the breach ahead.

"When that happens, the law at the edges of the breach will instantly run wild and slice us into pieces."
Zhou Xuan lifted both hands from the Console.

Ji Chen swallowed.
Coast on inertia into a breach in a high-rank law that might collapse at any moment?
