Time came to a standstill.
Chapter 1197: Time Stands Still
As Chi Mei nodded at the old man, the hunchbacked old man walked straight to Xiao Hu.
The old man's palm flickered with a rainbow-colored light, and the surrounding space became distorted and chaotic under the light. At the same time, a thin thread emerged from Xiao Hu's body and burrowed into the old man's palm.
As time passed, Xiao Hu's body gradually grew indistinct.
The surrounding sky supremes stood to the side in a daze, their hearts filled with indescribable terror. However, Yin Hu and the other yao looked relaxed. They knew who this newcomer was and wouldn't attack them.
"Who exactly is Chi Mei?"
Chi Mei's identity had been a mystery ever since she'd first appeared. At first, Ye Zichen suspected she was a descendant of the Five Elements Great Emperor, but now the yao called her "Lord."
Then there was the old man by her side, who'd suppressed Xiao Hu with a snap of his fingers.
With such a powerful protector by her side, why had she bothered with him for so long over a Sea Condensing Pill? She'd deliberately gotten close to him. What exactly did she want?
For the Yao-Sealing Pagoda?
Or for the Xuan-Yuan Sword?
The way he saw it, he and Chi Mei were from two completely different worlds. There was absolutely nothing about him that was worthy of a young lady like Chi Mei's attention.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky.
A crack appeared in the sky, and golden lightning mixed with rolling thunder drilled out of the crack.
In an instant, whether it was the Immortal Region, the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Endless Beast Region or the Wildlands, they all felt a suffocating pressure bearing down on them.
All races were shaken.
Countless supreme experts in the area emerged from seclusion and looked at the crack in the sky.
It was also at this moment that they realized how insignificant they, who had once been looked up to by all the Saints in this domain, were now.
They resisted the trembling in their hearts and raised their heads, wanting to see what was inside the crack.
However, at that moment ….
"Time! Stand still! "
A golden pendulum clock suddenly appeared in the sky. Its pendulum let out a low, clear cry, then stopped swinging.
The wind stopped blowing and the water stilled. It was as if the entire world had frozen over.
The experts of the Heavenly Court, Underworld, and Immortal Region were all frozen in their positions, looking up at the sky, sealed in place.
"Xiao Family, you've gone too far."
After freezing everything in the world, a child riding a green ox walked out of the Wilderness.
"We agreed to send a heavenly supreme here, which was a huge concession. Even if you left a strand of a deva soul in your weapon, we would've let you off the hook. But now you want to come here with your true form?!"
"This has nothing to do with you. Scram!"
A deep roar resounded from the crack, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of giant hands appeared from the crack, tearing the sky apart. Not long after, a brawny man with lightning flashing all over his body walked out of the crack. This brawny man was Xiao Hu's main body.
As he stepped into the Wildlands, the space around him seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure, and cracks began to appear in the space around him.
"Don't go too far!" The child riding the green ox rebuked.
"I said, don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll kill you too!"
Rumble.
A bolt of purplish-red divine lightning crashed down on the child. Before it could strike, a colorless barrier appeared around the child, protecting him. However, the residual power of the lightning destroyed more than half of the Wildlands.
"Scram!"
His eyes narrowed and his voice rumbled.
Xiao Hu was like a god descending to the mortal world. He stood proudly in the sky and shouted at the child mercilessly.
"You …."
The child glared at Xiao Hu in the sky, then silently retreated to the side.
However, at that moment, Chi Mei appeared beside the child at some point. She reached out and tousled his hair, a smile in her eyes.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. Big Sister is here!"
With that, she turned to the old man and spoke softly.
"Uncle Liu."
"You want my deva soul? I'd like to see if you have what it takes."
Suddenly, a 10,000-meter-tall shadow appeared behind Xiao Hu. It was a deity holding a Thunder God Hammer with lightning flashing in its eyes.
As Xiao Hu waved his arm, the deity behind him followed suit. His arm carried a force that seemed capable of collapsing mountains and rivers as it ruthlessly smashed down on the old man.
"Noisy."
The old man didn't even bat an eyelid. He waved his right hand, and to everyone's astonishment, Xiao Hu disappeared from the space.
Subsequently, the collapsed mountains returned to their original state. The half-destroyed Wildlands was also restored to its original state. The broken sky was completely healed.
It was as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Xiao Hu's deva soul condensed into a palm-sized soul core in the old man's hand.
"Why did you let him go?"
Chi Mei asked when she saw this. The old man put away the soul core and handed it over to her.
"The space here is too weak. If I were to unleash my powers here, I'm afraid the entire world would collapse. I sent him to the Outside. Once you're done here, it won't be too late for me to deal with him. "
"Alright, but the Masters of the Laws really are getting worse with each generation."
She shook her head at the cowherd boy and sighed. Then she snapped her fingers at the golden clock.
The pendulum clock disappeared from the sky, and the cowherd boy on the back of his azure ox vanished from the wastelands as well.
"Where did it go?" The immortal kings of the Three Lower Realms looked up at the sky in astonishment.
It wasn't just them. The sky supremes of the wastelands looked up at the sky in bewilderment. Just now, they'd clearly sensed a transcendent aura descend upon this world.
"I can't help but feel like I missed something."
Ye Zichen knit his brows. Although he'd caused the pendulum clock to appear and stop time, he had the feeling that something had happened in between.
He looked around, but nothing had changed.
The sky supremes, Chi Mei, and the old man were still standing where they'd been …..
Wait!
Why had Xiao Hu disappeared?
Xiao Hu's body clearly hadn't completely disappeared just now.
"Sweetie, what are you thinking about?"
As Ye Zichen pondered what had happened, Chi Mei walked up to him, her hands clasped behind her back. She batted her eyes at him and giggled.
"Chi Mei, oh Chi Mei, just who are you?"
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, then pressed his lips into a smile.
"I'm not thinking about anything. Oh right, where did Xiao Hu go?"
