Chapter 745 The Second Human King Slice

Xie Huan was suspended above the fairy jade vein, with blue and silver light flowing in his eyes as he carefully examined this strange vein.

Thousands of Eclipse Shadows surrounded him like loyal guards.

"Master, this mineral vein has been exhausted."

Black Crack whispered, his eyes sweeping across the honeycomb-like holes, even though they were already drained, the little remaining fairy power still made this Black Abyss creature extremely uncomfortable.

Xie Huan did not answer immediately, but his eyes were misty. At the same time, he grabbed a piece of the broken mine wall and touched it lightly with his fingers. Finally, he said affirmatively: "It is not an ordinary exhaustion, but the energy was forcibly extracted by some powerful force."

Black cracked eyelids twitched violently, and he said in shock: "Did they directly drain all the mineral energy in this world?"

He looked at the vast ruins of the mine and felt his scalp tingling. "What kind of existence can spare all this?"

"Since he has drained away his immortal spiritual power, he is most likely an immortal."

Xie Huan said lightly.

This kind of thing must have happened in an era when there were still immortals, so there is nothing strange about it.

He continued to explore the mine ruins, and suddenly stopped when passing by a ruin.

The holes in this abandoned mine were not randomly distributed, but arranged in a regular pattern, as if they were traces left after being pierced by some powerful sword intent.

"Sword without..."

Xie Huan touched these marks with his hands, and a sharp feeling came from his fingertips, piercing straight into the soul along the meridians. These were the marks left by the highest realm of swordsmanship.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in his heart. This feeling seemed to come from the dark skeleton part, and also seemed to come from this sword.

He continued to explore forward and stopped at another ruin. The holes here were arranged in a spiral shape and converged centripetally. Further ahead, there were radial lines like thousands of arrows piercing the sky.
Hei Lie followed behind Xie Huan and saw that he was frowning. He was confused but didn't dare to ask.

Xie Huan suddenly said, "The immortals and the black abyss creatures fought a great battle here."

"God hides?!"

Hei Lie's voice trembled a little.

In the entire Black Abyss, the only one who can fight against the immortal is Shenyin.

Xie Huan nodded, but his brows were still furrowed, as if some doubts were still lingering in his mind.

Suddenly, a unique abandoned mine in front attracted Xie Huan's attention.

"This is……"

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at the abandoned mine for a while, then lightly tapped it with his hand in confusion.

"Zheng!"

A clear sound like the collision of metal and stone exploded, and brilliant golden light burst out from the surface of the crystal. The shadow of a long river rushed past Xie Huan's eyes.

"This is……"

There was disbelief in Hei Lie's voice, "The power of time?"

Xie Huan's eyes glowed with silver light as he saw through the essence of the golden energy - it was indeed the embodiment of the law of time, and a "slice of time" that was artificially intercepted.

The golden light on the mine wall became brighter and brighter, and strands of golden energy began to seep out of the holes, interweaving in the air and turning into a sword mark that pierced through the sky and earth, like the sun in the sky, illuminating the entire black abyss!
"Jian Wu!"

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank, and an unprecedented sense of crisis pierced his bones like ice.

He formed seals with his hands instantly, creating barriers in front of him. Then the Black Abyss Spirit appeared, and the vortex-shaped devouring power opened like a giant beast's mouth, completely blocking the space within a hundred feet in radius.

However, the sword mark did not fall.

As the golden light flowed, a slender figure slowly walked out from the sword mark - his long robe with black patterns moved without wind, his eyebrows were as majestic as distant mountains, and his eyes were like stars falling down.

"The Human King!——" Xie Huan was shocked.

The man in front of him was none other than the Human King Shang Xuan.

"Click——"

The sword mark suddenly shattered like a mirror, and Shang Xuan's figure turned into a golden light. But at the moment of dissipation, that gaze seemed to penetrate eternity and stayed on Xie Huan for a moment -

Extremely complex.

"boom!"

The golden light was completely annihilated, leaving only slag falling down.

Xie Huan and Hei Lie stood there quietly, unable to react. The sound of the sword that cut through time was still echoing in their ears.

"The one who fought against Shenyin was actually the Human King."

Xie Huan said in a deep voice: "In this case, the one who drained this fairy jade vein is also the Human King."

Black Crack trembled and said, "This peerless strong man who suppressed an era actually left a time afterimage here. What on earth is going on?"

"It's not a time afterimage, it's a time slice." Xie Huan said.

Seeing the bewildered look on Hei Lie's face, he condensed a golden light on his fingertips, drawing two tracks in the air: "The afterimage is like an inverted moon in the water, but the slices are truly fragments cut from the long river of time - the Human King just now was real, he was just 'cut' out from a certain period of time in the past."

He thought of the "Slice of the Human King" in the Tianhuang Palace, and his hair stood on end. What kind of heaven-defying method was this, tampering with the rules of time, was simply unimaginable.

And more importantly, why is there a slice of the human king here? It must have been "cut" off during the battle with Shenyin, so what is the reason for putting it here?
Xie Huan remembered that when the Earth Soul had just awakened, he cursed Shang Xuan, saying that he had fallen into Shang Xuan's trap and came out of the Black Abyss, and was eventually split into three by Shang Xuan.

What exactly happened that year?
Xie Huan tapped his brow with his fingers, trying to search for the answer in the dark wreckage, but it was all chaos and no response.

Hei Lie understood the meaning of "slice" and asked in shock: "If it is true, then where did this slice go?"

"If I knew, would I still be here with you in a daze?"

Xie Huan was impatient and rolled his eyes at him.

Hei Lie shuddered all over and became silent, not daring to say another word.

"This mineral vein is considered useless. Although there is still some fairy power, it is basically worthless. Let's go."

After Xie Huan explored for a while, he found nothing, so he and Hei Lie left the gap and continued to release Thousand Thorns Erosion Shadow to look for other fairy jade veins.

Time flows silently like an undercurrent in the abyss.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but one day, Xie Huan was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing when he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

Not only him, but also the nine-headed Thousand-thorn Shadows exploring the way ahead made shrill screams at the same time, bloodshot appeared in their scarlet eyes, and the bone spurs all over their bodies trembled violently, and there were even signs that they were trying to break free from control.

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank, these Thousand Thorns Shadows were all his divine slaves, under his 100% control, but at this moment they were showing signs of losing control.

"Lord, master."

Hei Lie's voice trembled, his face pale, "It's Shenyin, it's Shenyin's aura!"

Xie Huan stared at it——

The void in the distance was twisting wildly, and a huge black shadow was tearing towards it. Wherever it passed, the black abyss matter retreated as if it was afraid of some supreme existence.

It was a Thousand Thorns Shadow as huge as a mountain, its entire body as black as ink, with strange purple lines wrapped around its spine spurs - it was the Thousand Thorns Shadow King that had been subdued by the Earth Spirit in the Hidden Land that year.

At this moment, a graceful purple figure stood on its head.
