The space inside the octopus beast's body was distorted everywhere, accompanied by sonic booms. Terrifying fluctuations of spatial energy spread everywhere, and there was a ball of dazzling light within it. A silhouette could vaguely be seen hovering within it.
Before he knew it, Feng Hao had already endured for two whole months, which was equivalent to five years in the outside world. During these five years, Feng Hao had maintained this state. He wanted to break out of this space, but he couldn't do so at all.
Only by killing the octopus beast could he possibly break out of this space. However, the octopus beast never appeared. Even if Feng Hao wanted to kill it, he didn't have the slightest chance of doing so. This made Feng Hao very vexed.
It wasn't as if Feng Hao didn't gain anything during these five years of meditation. He started to study the Laws of Time in this space. Before this, he had never heard of the existence of such a power.
Being able to change the speed of time was simply an inconceivable power. Even Sovereigns couldn't achieve this. The heavens were merciless, and time was the cruelest. Even Sovereigns, who stood at the top of an era, couldn't withstand a single blow before the power of time.
Since ancient times, how many experts had wanted to break free from the shackles of time and obtain immortality? However, not a single one had succeeded. Therefore, the Laws of Time were a power that even surpassed the Laws of Space.
He had been sensing the flow of energy in this space, trying to grasp that trace of opportunity and see if he could comprehend the slightest bit of this power. Unfortunately, he only vaguely sensed an indescribable feeling, and didn't make any actual breakthroughs.
Slowly opening his eyes again, Feng Hao's eyes didn't show any emotion. He had already passed Thoughtless in this quiet environment, so he was naturally used to it. He checked the energy in his body as usual, and sighed.
After staying here for so long, the energy in his body could be said to have been greatly depleted. If it wasn't for the fact that his physical body was very different from ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer.
Even so, Feng Hao felt like he couldn't take it anymore. If he continued like this, the power of heavenly punishment in his body would soon be completely exhausted. At that time, he would be in a very bad situation.
He looked around at the transparent stone walls. Although there wasn't anything, he could still feel the octopus beast watching him at all times. Once he showed signs that he was no match for it, the octopus beast would take the opportunity to appear.
Suddenly, Feng Hao's eyes lit up. He thought of a plan. Since the octopus beast wasn't willing to appear on its own, he could use a scheme to force it out. That way, he'd ambush it after it appeared, inflicting damage to its soul, or even taking the opportunity to kill it.
However, how was he going to lure the octopus beast out? Feng Hao was a little troubled. The octopus beast had intelligence not inferior to humans. Naturally it could see through his condition with a single glance. Also, this space was its small world. If he wanted to kill it, he had to succeed in one strike, or there wouldn't be any chance at all.
Feng Hao bit his lip, thinking about how to make the octopus beast appear on its own. From the looks of it, he could only resort to injuring himself to gain the confidence of the octopus beast, making it believe that his condition was indeed not good, and only then would it show itself.
Although the octopus beast's intelligence wasn't weak, it was still an exotic beast, after all. In terms of schemes, how could it compare to humans?
However, this was easier said than done. To Feng Hao, he had to make it look like he was in bad shape, but he couldn't be too overconfident. After all, the octopus beast would be able to sense it. If his injuries were too severe, then he wouldn't be able to gather enough energy to kill it in one strike. This wasn't a method that would make up for the losses.
However, after a short while, Feng Hao still decided to take the risk. The octopus beast could only appear in this space in its soul form. To him, this was an advantage. His soul force wasn't just an ordinary kind of powerful.
Back then, the spiritual orb allowed him to comprehend the Phoenix Nirvana Regeneration Divine Art, as well as another soul cultivation secret art. During this period of time, he had been trying to cultivate his soul, and the effects weren't weak.
If he were to use the Phoenix Nirvana Regeneration Divine Art, he might really have a chance to kill the octopus beast. This was an extremely risky gamble.
However, Feng Hao still decided to do it, because he didn't want to wait any longer. He didn't have too much time to waste. Two months had already passed for him, which was equivalent to five years in the outside world. If he delayed any longer, it would affect his search for other ingredients.
Immediately after, Feng Hao began to withdraw the power of heavenly punishment on his body, creating a gradual weakening process. This process couldn't be too fast, either. After all, the octopus beast wasn't a fool.
As the power of heavenly punishment on the surface of Feng Hao's body gradually weakened, the surrounding spatial blades seemed to become even more concentrated, constantly attacking Feng Hao. Indeed, as Feng Hao had expected, the octopus beast had been watching in the dark, waiting for Feng Hao to reveal his weakened state.
Feng Hao had actually lasted for so long, which was also beyond its expectations. However, it had been waiting all this time. Now that the power of heavenly punishment on the surface of Feng Hao's body had weakened, it naturally attracted its attention. It was overjoyed. After waiting for so long, it finally saw this scene.
However, the octopus beast was very cautious. It didn't directly appear. It was also worried that Feng Hao was pretending to lure it out. Thus, it immediately controlled the power in the space, continuously launching more concentrated attacks.
As Feng Hao deliberately weakened the power of heavenly punishment, the attacks he endured also became much more terrifying. However, he gathered a portion of the power in his dantian, so that he could cast the Phoenix Nirvana Regeneration Divine Art in the end and give the octopus a fatal blow.
This process was extremely slow. After another half a month, only a faint layer of light was left on the surface of Feng Hao's body, and this layer of light seemed so powerless in the face of the spatial blades that filled the sky.
The octopus beast, who was observing in the dark, was secretly delighted. It continued to increase the intensity of its attacks. It wanted to wait until Feng Hao was completely weakened before appearing. Then, it would be able to land a fatal blow and devour his soul.
