The enormous face that had just consumed the remnants of the Ancestral God's will no longer have the blank expression it once had. Instead, it revealed a hint of struggle, its brows furrowed, as if it were undergoing a fierce internal struggle.
Such a movement naturally did not escape Zhang Junbao's eyes. In a moment of crisis, any small detail can change the course of the entire situation, so Zhang Junbao would not overlook even the slightest reaction from the giant face.
Sensing the struggling expression on the enormous face, Zhang Junbao decisively made his move. The Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate on his left hand lit up, and eight Heart of Law as first-level cores, along with three hundred and sixty-five second-level cores and fourteen thousand eight hundred third-level cores, all flew out and surrounded his body.
At the same time, Zhang Junbao threw the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword, and his own Space-Time Domain opened simultaneously. Facing such a terrifying enemy, Zhang Junbao dared not hold back in the slightest.
The space-time around Zhang Junbao became incredibly solid, completely under his control. Now, even if a King-level Immortal were trapped within him, Zhang Junbao had absolute confidence in suppressing him.
Zhang Junbao, with the help of Heavy Treasure, managed to simulate the power to Control of Space-Time, a powerful force that only the Universe Master could wield.
Even if it still cannot compare to the Universe Master's Control of Space-Time, it is still enough to be proud of even if it only possesses one ten-thousandth of the Universe Master's power to Control of Space-Time.
Even so, Zhang Junbao dared not relax in the slightest, because what he was facing was not an ordinary King-level Immortal, but a shattered will that seemed to be the Universe Master. Even if the shattered consciousness in front of him did not have complete combat power and had never used the Universe Master's Control of Space-Time, it was still not something Zhang Junbao could easily deal with.
He simply hoped to use the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation to buy himself some time, giving him enough time to find a way to survive.
The enormous face, formed from shattered will, watched Zhang Junbao's performance with a dazed look in its eyes, as if observing a tiny insect. Its eyes were filled with doubt, as if asking, "Why are you struggling?"
Zhang Junbao pushed the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation to its limit, covering only his body. He didn't even care about Isabella, the Zerg Mother Emperor, who was not far away. He didn't even know if the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation could really withstand the attack of the giant face.
"Roar!"
The enormous face opened its mouth wide, and a silent roar erupted from it. Although there was no sound, Zhang Junbao could still feel the terrifying power of the soul-shaking impact.
A torrent of souls crashed onto the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, completely distorting the surrounding spacetime. It was not only a soul impact, but the attack from the giant face also contained an attack of the Space-Time Law.
With just this casual strike, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation was on the verge of collapse. Zhang Junbao, inside the array, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his soul was buzzing loudly.
" Power of Law, replenished!"
Zhang Junbao quickly connected with the eight Law Core, his soul immersed in the Sea of Laws, and a large amount of Origin Law power surged in, replenishing the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation.
The Power of Law drawn from the Sea of Laws is essentially the same as the Divine Power of Immortal Expert. Just as ethereal Divine Power can block and attack Soul Secret Technique, the Power of Law emerging from the Sea of Laws can also withstand attacks from Soul Secret Technique.
The impact of the gigantic face is essentially a Soul Attack technique. However, this technique is extremely strange. If it cannot be resisted using the Law of Time-Space Fusion, it will directly penetrate all Soul Defense Secret Technique and strike the depths of the soul.
Those Marquis Immortal who were assimilated by the faceless void died under such circumstances.
Looking at the crumbling Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Zhang Junbao was deeply shocked.
Even with all his strength, he could only block a single, casual attack. Although he managed to block it, Zhang Junbao saw that, apart from the eight Law Core and the Ancestral God Lingxi, almost all of the other 365 Level 2 Cores and 14,800 Level 3 Cores, which were made using top-tier materials, had developed cracks.
"Are you kidding me? This is Soul Secret Technique attack, not a Divine Power attack. And it was just a casual breath that caused cracks to appear in the cores made of these top-grade materials!"
Zhang Junbao was deeply shocked. Although these cores were not considered Heavy Treasure, the materials used were extremely high-grade, all of them being F-class or higher, and they were even refined by Iron Fire King, the top Treasure Refining refining master of the Virtual Universe Company.
These core elements alone, taken together, are comparable to a Heavy Treasure.
However, this treasure was nearly destroyed by a single, casual Soul Attack from the enormous face.
Zhang Junbao couldn't imagine that without the protection of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, he would probably have already turned to ashes.
But he was not happy about this at all, because these core formations would probably have a hard time withstanding the giant face's next attack.
"What can we do? The difference in strength is too great. In the next attack, the level two and level three cores of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation will definitely be destroyed!"
This was the greatest crisis he had ever faced in his life. Even when he was being hunted down by a Universe Venerable on Viska Star, it wasn't as dangerous as this. Back then, Venerable Golden Crow came to his rescue in time, but now, facing the enormous face, unless the Chaos City Lord came in person, anyone else who came would probably just be throwing their lives away.
"I am not Immortal, and I do not possess a divine body that can be burned. The moment the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation shatters, I will lose all my resistance!"
"Tell me, what exactly are time and space?"
Just as Zhang Junbao's brain was racing, trying to think of a way to escape, a loud voice rang in his mind, which shocked him greatly.
"How is this possible? The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is clearly still there, so why did this Soul Attack arrive so silently?"
Outside, Zhang Junbao slowly closed his eyes. His soul was drawn by the eerie voice and involuntarily began to comprehend time and space.
What exactly are time and space?
The Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl in Zhang Junbao's mind spun wildly, and the Divine Power injected into it by the Chaos City Lord rapidly burned, releasing a beam of light that enveloped Zhang Junbao's soul.
Even so, it still couldn't stop the intrusion of that eerie voice.
The Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl could block the Soul Secret Technique attack of the King-level Immortal, but it was powerless to block the Soul Secret Technique attack cast by the giant face formed by shattered will.
In the void, the enormous face seemed to sense a special aura within Zhang Junbao's soul. The entire enormous face, nearly ten thousand kilometers long, seemed to be rapidly merging into Zhang Junbao's soul, almost like liquid.
The enormous face was originally formed by the fusion of countless broken wills, and was entirely composed of Divine Power. It could be ethereal or tangible.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao's body floated in the void, his eyes closed, his expression peaceful, just like when he was comprehending the Law.
"Time doesn't exist, all space is an illusion, and all attempts to comprehend it are deception!"
"Time stretches endlessly; even with an infinite lifespan, one cannot comprehend its changes. Space is both reality and illusion; within the universe, there are countless versions of myself, and countless spaces. What is the true self?"
"In the vast universe, I am the only one who reigns supreme!"
"Destroy it all! This spacetime has no meaning. I will Destruction everything..."
"Hmm hmm hmm hmm..."
"Ughhhhhh..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Chaotic and frenzied laughter echoed in Zhang Junbao's mind, as if countless people were discussing what time and space were.
Once one loses sight of oneself, one gradually becomes lost in these chaotic wills, and ultimately one's consciousness is completely overwhelmed.
"Is this the depths of my soul?"
Zhang Junbao slowly regained consciousness. He felt countless chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind, as if countless personalities had been forcibly crammed into his brain, each with its own independent ideas, none of them listening to the others.
"Countless voices roared within my soul, all discussing what time and space are. What on earth is going on?"
"These sounds are so chaotic and terrifying; they are the remnants of those who were once assimilated by shattered wills. It's truly horrifying. This will itself is incomplete, yet it can continuously assimilate the wills of others. At first, it's alright, but if it continues to devour, those who are devoured later will have to resist the wills of everyone in front. Even Universe Venerable would go mad!"
"Now I finally understand why the Divine Eye Marquis was willing to self-destruct at any cost to Destruction that wisp of remnant soul. If it were allowed to spread throughout the universe, even the Universe Master might not be able to completely Destruction it."
If even a Universe Master were to fall within it, it would be a tremendous catastrophe for any race, and indeed for the entire universe!
"The remnant soul that once escaped from here was destroyed by the self-destruction of the Divine Eye Marquis, but there are still so many in this Chaotic God Demon Domain."
Why didn't I notice this before? According to the records of the Divine City, it also occurred during the last Eye of the Abyss anomaly, when more than 99% of the creatures in the Chaotic God Demon Domain perished. So why did it just disappear in the end?
"It wasn't until this sudden change that it erupted again?"
Zhang Junbao's will was trapped within his own soul. At this moment, he had countless questions in his mind, but time did not allow him to think about them any further.
The longer it drags on, the more likely he is to be assimilated by other wills and become one of them.
What exactly are time and space?
"It's happening again. Where does that voice come from? Every time it rings out, it makes me unconsciously want to comprehend the Space-Time Law."
At the same time, all the other voices that appeared in Zhang Junbao's soul followed the eerie voice and asked, "What exactly are time and space?"
Who exactly are you?
Why should I decipher the mysteries of the Space-Time Law?
"Who I am?"
Who am I?
"I am the Divine Eye Marquis!"
" Zhang Junbao, you have inherited my property and are now my disciple. Follow me to comprehend the secrets of time and space, and fully understand them!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared before Zhang Junbao. The figure's eyes had Secret Pattern School within them, as if it could see through a person's soul.
"Hmph! Playing tricks, trying to spy on my memories! Divine Eye Marquis is dead, and in the outside world. There's no way he could be here!"
Zhang Junbao struck out with his palm, shattering the illusory image in front of him, but he became even more vigilant. The shattered will had begun to probe his memories, and if it dragged on any longer, it could even create a completely realistic world and immerse him in it.
"Why do you want us to comprehend the Space-Time Law? You are already the Universe Master; shouldn't you have already thoroughly understood the entire Space-Time Law?"
"No, could it be that you are not the Universe Master yet!"
Zhang Junbao suddenly realized the problem. Although he felt that the pressure of the will emanating from the huge face was comparable to that of the Universe Master, in the universe, some super geniuses may not be unable to fight beyond their level.
Even if things continue as they are, Luo Feng was able to kill Universe Master at the Universe Venerable level, so why can't others possess a willpower comparable to Universe Master at the Universe Venerable level?
Although Luo Feng's experiences are unparalleled in the universe, it doesn't mean that others have no opportunities.
Why would the master of the shattered will ask everyone what spacetime is? It's because he himself cannot fully understand what spacetime truly is!
Zhang Junbao suddenly realized that he had been trapped in a cognitive bias, and that everyone else had been trapped in it from the beginning.
The Universe Master is an being who has fully comprehended the mysteries of the Space-Time Law, so naturally he doesn't need to ask others what spacetime is. Only those who don't understand would ask questions!
"What exactly is spacetime?"
At that moment, Zhang Junbao seemed to have found a way to solve the current problem.
