Originally, the three mighty beings had weathered countless storms and waves over the long years. What had they not seen?
Yet they truly had never seen anything like this. Because they took it seriously, their attention had remained fixed on the central point of Primordial Spacetime—the location of the Earth Universe.
Earlier, Zhao Cheng had used miraculous means to push the Earth Universe's flow of time to ten times its normal speed. Though he had displayed power that shook the ancient and dazzled the modern, if their true bodies awakened, accomplishing such a thing would be easy with their strength.
Indeed, if it were somewhere else—not the central point of Primordial Spacetime, but some subordinate spacetime—then forget tenfold; they could even briefly achieve a time flow a billion times faster.
Only the center of Primordial Spacetime existed like an "anchor." To accelerate time there, one had to first overcome that anchoring force. That was what made the method so formidable.
And one who toyed with time in such a way was destined to suffer time's backlash.
Not long ago, Zhao Cheng's mere tenfold acceleration had already shown them its might. But now, time acceleration had leapt from tenfold to ten thousandfold in one stroke. This was not something that could be achieved simply by having one's cultivation and power suddenly expand a thousandfold.
Forget a thousandfold—even a ten-thousandfold or hundred-thousandfold increase in power could not accomplish this.
In many matters, the accumulation of quantity held no meaning; only a qualitative leap would do.
Just as with the transition from immortality to eternity: as one traced time forward, let the years flow backward, and watched dimensional spacetimes continually split and evolve, one's own power would likewise keep growing exponentially.
Yet between one Eternal and another, barring exceptional circumstances, there was no
