Fang Xingjian sensed the increasingly powerful suction force coming from the surroundings, as well as the continuous explosions, seas of fire, and thunderbolts. He frowned and said, "As we go deeper, the explosions seem to get increasingly stronger. Even the space is starting to distort, and the temperature continues to rise. "Especially in the space of 100 kilometers that we just passed through, there seems to be a qualitative change in the temperature and pressure."
The Fourth Prince and Philip sensed it as well and said, "That's true."
As a Divine level expert, Philip sent his martial will sweeping out, and the range of his senses became even wider. His countenance changed as he said, "This space seems to be continuously breaking down matter through high temperature and pressure, then absorbing the physical particles into the space below. This feeling..."
"It's just like the sun." Fang Xingjian's brows twitched. "Breaking down all matter and then absorbing them into the center to be heated up, burning them as fuel? It's probably burning the physical particles directly, producing a powerful energy source to maintain the operation of the entire space. "
"It's just similar. Although Divine level experts are powerful, they're not real gods," Philip said. "Although I don't know why the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor wanted to create such a space, it's impossible for him to create a real sun. Let's continue forward. With our abilities, we should be able to withstand the high temperature and pressure."
...
The mysterious blue-haired young man led the pretty young lady forward as well.
The young man said, "The Mystic Abyss Vault is the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's final effort. It's split into nine levels from the outside to the inside, and only the central space forms a huge piece of land under extreme pressure. "In each area, the temperature and pressure will increase by more than one fold."
"Nine levels of space, and the center is land?" The young lady said in surprise, "It's an imitation of our world and the Nine-Tiered Heavens?"
"That's right. The Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor lived up to his reputation as an unparalleled expert who unified a world and led humanity to fight against the onslaught. His initial goal in creating this Hades Vault was not to treat it as a treasure but to create a small world that also had the Nine-Tiered Heavens and was constantly in a state of metamorphosis.
"And with each level, time will accelerate. At the final level, even if one were to stay in there for a few years, only a day would have passed outside.
"The Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's control over time and space is far too powerful.
"If he really succeeds, he'll be able to produce an endless supply of experts through this world, allowing humanity to easily fight against the onslaught in the future.
Even if the resistance fails, we can retreat to this small world and no longer be threatened by any danger. "
Hearing the mysterious youth introduce the situation of the Hades Vault, creating a world, and saving the human race, the young lady was completely shocked. "What a great plan, but he still failed in the end, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to seal the Hades Vault and treat it as a treasury. "
"Not bad." The blue-haired young man sighed and said, "There's a limit to one's strength. Even the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor wasn't omnipotent. He created a small world that could operate for countless years, stretching space, accelerating time, and opened up a world. However, he was still unable to create the true Nine-Tiered Heavens. Therefore, there's no way to advance to the Divine level in the Hades Vault, and there's no way to advance from level 31 to level 39 after reaching the Divine level through the nine levels of space here. A Deity rank expert would never be able to improve by staying here. To a Deity rank expert, this place is just like a graveyard … "
The young lady nodded. If a Deity rank expert were to be trapped here, unable to make any progress in their cultivation despite the passing of years and only able to watch their lifespan pass by at an accelerated rate, it would indeed be a fate worse than death.
As the young man continued to venture deeper into the Hades Vault, he continued to say, "However, the powers of the Hades Vault are still not to be underestimated. It continues to absorb physical substances from beyond the heavens and drag them into this small world. It then breaks them down into the most basic physical particles and absorbs them into the center to burn them at the level of physical particles, unleashing the power of the essence of endless physical particles to maintain the changes in space and time. "The legacy left behind by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor is located at the very center. It's the Senluo Six Heavens Sword, which contains the endless wealth that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor left behind to help humanity fight against the onslaught."
Saying this, the corners of the young man's lips curled up, revealing a hint of a smile. "However, to others, that is the most dangerous place. But to me, it's the safest place. "I've received the legacy of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's Waves and can control a portion of the Hades Vault's powers. Borrowing the almost endless energy in the vault's core, my abilities are equivalent to that of a Divine level expert."
…
After advancing for a total of three hours, with Fang Xingjian and the others' speed, they would be able to cross almost the entire world. However, other than the increasing pressure and high temperature, as well as the endless burning and explosions, they did not see anything else.
Philip frowned as well. 'Isn't the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's control over space too powerful? Divine level experts are able to stretch out such a vast space? Moreover, I sense that the flow of time doesn't seem to be quite right? '
Level 29 Conferred Knights could already sense the flow of time and the changes in space. It was even more so for Divine level experts.
The Fourth Prince nodded as well. He looked at Fang Xingjian and asked, "Xingjian, how do you feel?"
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He merely performed the Mountainous Sea's Book of the Way and sensed his lifespan. His lifespan, which had been decreasing by the second, now required a total of ten seconds for it to jump once.
'Has the time in there been accelerated? And to think that my lifespan hasn't increased along with the acceleration. ' Fang Xingjian smiled coldly and thought to himself, 'They really want me to die three years later without missing even a single second.'
Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Time has been accelerated. As we continue to get closer, the acceleration of time will probably get increasingly stronger."
When Philip and the Fourth Prince heard this, their frowns deepened. Philip asked, "Xingjian, how are you able to sense all these?" He used all his powers to sense and seemed to have discovered that there were really such signs. However, he still did not dare to be certain.
The changes in time were too hard to sense. To be able to sense the flow of time was already an extremely high level of cultivation. Not to mention sensing the acceleration of time or even being able to control time like the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor.
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. Instead, he slowed down, and waves of chaotic and indifferent aura flashed in his eyes, giving off an intense feeling that he was not human. He said slowly, "Let's take our time. I feel that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's legacy isn't something that can be obtained so easily. Let's cultivate as we move forward. "We can make use of the time here to speed up our cultivation and wait for our enemy to tire us out."
The Fourth Prince gave it some thought. Thinking of Fang Xingjian's consecutive deductions, be it that there was someone following them, that there was danger, or that they had left, and even that the flow of time seemed to be correct, the Fourth Prince decided to trust him once more. He said, "Alright, we'll listen to you."
In Fang Xingjian's eyes, waves of indifferent aura grew increasingly stronger. He was like a god high up in the heavens, controlling the circulation of the heavenly laws and looking down on the mortal world.
Concurrently, he thought to himself, 'I can make good use of this time to condense ether organs in this accelerated space-time and strive for the Divine level.' He also thought, 'If this Hades Vault can really continue to accelerate time without affecting his lifespan, wouldn't he be able to stay here and have even more lifespan?'
Thereafter, the three of them advanced at a slower speed, maintaining their battle prowess. Fang Xingjian even spent half of his mental energy on condensing ether organs.
As they continued to venture deeper, the temperature and pressure in the surroundings continued to rise. The entire space seemed to have turned into a huge bronze furnace, and they were being scorched by the high temperature and high pressure in this bronze furnace. They were constantly using their powers to strengthen their physical bodies, increasing their toughness.
Both Fang Xingjian and the Second Prince could sense that their physical bodies seemed to have become even sturdier and stronger under such tempering. It was as if they were a piece of well-tempered steel that had been hammered repeatedly, leaving only the toughest parts behind.
Just like that, two months passed by in the blink of an eye. Including the first time that Fang Xingjian and the others experienced, they had gone through a total of nine qualitative changes in temperature and pressure. The space before them still seemed to have no end.
However, one day, Fang Xingjian's gaze continued to shine brightly, and a series of rumbling explosions rang out from his body. It was as if countless worlds were being destroyed and born.
The Fourth Prince and Philip both looked toward Fang Xingjian's body. "This is..."
