Chapter 286 - 286 Yuji
The surroundings seemed to be trapped in place as well. It felt as if they were trapped in an infinitely large place, and no matter how they ran, they just couldn’t escape.
The big scorpion was a little flustered. He asked, “Elder King, do you have any way to get out of here?”
Qin Chen was speechless. How could he possibly have a way out? This place was, after all, flooding with chaos. The entire star field had changed, and he did not know what kind of dangers there were. Even if he awakened his extreme emperor weapon, he would not dare to act rashly.
If he did that and it triggered some kind of change again, wouldn’t he be killed? He did not want to do such a fruitless thing, so he simply unleashed his God-realm spiritual power.
He began to explore his surroundings. The flow of time in the surroundings was indeed slow. However, what Qin Chen found even stranger was that his spiritual power was unable to leave this place, just like his physical body. It was just strange. He had never heard of such a strange thing.
The big scorpion panicked as well. He circulated his full power, and his Supreme Sagely was unleashed as he rushed forward. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was still beside Qin Chen.
“When did we get trapped here?”
Qin Chen didn’t know. Perhaps it was after the big scorpion had picked up all the treasures from the Supreme Sage’s body. Either way, they were trapped here.
The entire star field was still slowly changing, and no one knew what would happen next. After an unknown amount of time, this chaotic star field finally returned to a slightly normal flow of time.
Qin Chen seized the opportunity to rush out with the big scorpion. As soon as they did so, they saw a meteorite made of unknown material crash into where they had been standing. The speed of the meteorite did not slow down as it crashed down, then abruptly stopped in the air.
It seemed like the flow of time in that area had become extremely slow. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had escaped.
This star region was too terrifying. Qin Chen’s heart was filled with fear.
If they had not managed to escape, they would have been trapped in their original spot and hit by the huge meteorite. The big scorpion hurriedly said to Qin Chen, “Elder King, let’s go!”
Qin Chen nodded and continued the journey with the big scorpion. Unfortunately, there were fewer and fewer people behind them. They did not even see a corpse. There was not a single living creature on the road.
Didn’t they say that many races and human cultivators had come? Yet all this way, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had only seen the corpse of a God and a Supreme Sage. They didn’t even see a living person.
For an area where the flow of time was relatively slow, Qin Chen used his spiritual power to explore it. If his spiritual power stayed in the same place, it meant that the area was a place where the flow of time was chaotic.
Strange scenes played out slowly. Sometimes, when Qin Chen and the big scorpion reached a point, they suddenly realized that they had walked a long distance in an instant. Sometimes, they had to walk for a long time before they could travel a short distance.
If this went on, God knows when they would see the planet. Putting themselves in danger for such a piece of unknown news was obviously not worth it.
Not far away, there seemed to be someone crying. They finally saw a living person!
Qin Chen and the big scorpion looked over only to see a genius from a powerful cosmic race. She looked no different from a human, but there was a hint of crystal in the corner of her eye that was shaped like a tear.
When the female cultivator saw Qin Chen and the big scorpion, she cried for help. However, she seemed to be trapped in the same place and could not move at all, just like how Qin Chen and the big scorpion were trapped before.
The female cultivator begged for help, “Save me, save me!”
She had been trapped here just now, and her companions had long left her. Now, she was alone.
The big scorpion really did not dare to go over. After all, if it wasn’t for Qin Chen, they might still be trapped where they had been and might have been killed by the meteorite.
“Who are you?” Qin Chen asked.
The female cultivator replied, “I’m from a powerful cosmic race, the descendent of the ancient human.”
Qin Chen frowned slightly, “Could the ancient human be a bloodline left behind in the cosmic by the primordial era’s human race when they were still enslaved by the ten thousand ancient races?”
The female cultivator nodded. She also cultivated human cultivation techniques.
It was a pity that all her companions had left her, leaving her alone and trapped here. She looked at Qin Chen, her eyes full of fear. It seemed that because of the arrival of Qin Chen and the big scorpion, there was a trace of hope in her desperate eyes.
She knew that it was impossible for her to leave this place because the flow of time in this area was very slow. Once one stepped into it, it was basically impossible to escape.
The big scorpion said, “Elder King, let’s go. It won’t be good if we get ourselves into trouble instead.”
However, Qin Chen shook his head and said, “It’s just a small matter.”
Then, he walked towards the female cultivator. The female cultivator did not expect Qin Chen to still dare to walk towards her. Then, Qin Chen also entered the area where the flow of time was slow.
If he wanted to bring this female cultivator away, they would have to escape from the inside together.
Now, all they could do now was wait.
Qin Chen silently waited for the right time. Finally, the flow of time returned to normal. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used his God-realm spiritual power to sense the change and pulled the female cultivator out of the area immediately.
When they rushed out, the female cultivator was still in disbelief. To think she had left that place.
One must know that she had not been able to escape previously. Now that she was suddenly rescued, the feeling of having luckily survived a disaster was extremely strong. She was extremely glad that she had met the Elder King and the big scorpion.
“My name is Yuji. Thank you for saving me, Elder King!” This female cultivator clearly knew Qin Chen. After all, the latter was famous for killing many God-realm experts of the strong cosmic races. Not long ago, he had also killed the clone of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss.
This Elder King did not seem to be as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be.
