Chapter 1081 The Sky River is Upside Down
The corridor of time...

The greatest technological manifestation of the Three-Eyed Tribe's mastery of time is hidden deep in the 990,000-meter-higher level of the Tower of Babel, the legendary one millionth floor. In a sense, this creation or technology is a true time machine that can reverse time, bring people back to life, and even permanently change cause and effect and timelines.

Changing the past timeline is never an easy task.

Just like the grandmother paradox, the past changes the present, and the changes in history will lead the world to an unpredictable future. Whether it is in movies, novels, or comics and animations, there are more or less descriptions...

——Every cause has its effect.

——The more history is changed, the more backlash will be encountered.

This is the rule of the world and the underlying logic of the multiverse. "Changing the timeline" is never an easy achievement. Only high-level saints can truly enter the long river of time and scoop up the water from it. The corresponding backlash and the cause and effect that need to be borne are enough to make a high-level saint perish on the spot.

However, the reason why "technology" is "technology" is its substitutability and repeatability, and the time corridor is like this... There is no need for powerful strength, nor is there any need to bear too much backlash. In the beginning of death, the Three Pure Ones used the effect of the time corridor to travel back in time from the Fourth Age and returned to the fairy civilization of the Second Age to carry out the "Conferred God" plan; in order to save the relatives and friends of Yang Dingtian and others who were transformed into traitors, Xue Na even proposed a plan to use the time corridor to return to the past and change the cause and effect.

however……

How could it be the Great Desolation Continent? How could it be the Great Desolation Continent from 18,000 years ago?

A thick branch suddenly stretched out from the void, turning into a giant palm that swept across the sky and instantly repelled countless cultivators. With this palm, it was unknown how many cultivators' bodies and souls were destroyed, and how many magic weapons that had been forged with thousands of hammers were completely destroyed... In short, although Yang Yun's action seemed simple, it powerfully tore a huge gap in the encirclement.

And, this is wrong. Very wrong.

Surrounded by the turquoise light, Yang Yun maintained the gesture of waving his palms. At the same time, he deeply felt that his physical condition was exactly the same as in the real world, and seemed to be thinking about something.

——This is wrong.

No matter what, everything was not right now. Even if we did not consider the fact that the members of the Zhongzhou team who had clearly come into contact with him at the beginning and had inexplicably disappeared, and Xue Na, the owner of this place, who had no news at all, Yang Yun also realized the inconsistency.

——The time and space around me are too little repellent to me.

Looking at the hundreds of cultivators who were simply knocked away by him, Yang Yun felt a sense of absurdity. You have to know that he is not a person on the current timeline, and all the actions he makes here may have some impact on the future, which is the so-called "carrying cause and effect".

According to the conjectures about this situation in the Rungominiad database, generally speaking, people who do not belong to the current time and space will be more or less affected and find it difficult to exert their full strength. But judging from Yang Yun's current performance, this so-called "suppression" is almost non-existent, and even...

"You are such a bold lunatic! How dare you invade my Great Continent!"

Just as Yang Yun was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly a strong wave of thoughts came from afar, as fast as traveling through time and space. The unstoppable sword intent followed closely, almost reaching Yang Yun before it was sent out, and then the second sentence rang in his ears: "I will fight you!"

The sword of the five elements, the sword intent of Gengjin!
Yang Yun was not unfamiliar with this sword intent. Its characteristics and corresponding skills were recorded in detail in the huge database of Longominyad. This sword was mainly aimed at killing, and its power was extremely fierce. It was almost invincible when facing the enemy head-on.

Judging from the speed and energy contained in the opponent's sword, the opponent is at least an immortal-level cultivator, and his strength is definitely not inferior to the former Feimian, but...

Facing the sword light that was unstoppable and carried the sharp aura of Gengjin, Yang Yun's reaction was surprisingly calm. He just stretched out his right hand as if to welcome a breeze, and the golden light that could penetrate everything seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, quietly falling into Yang Yun's hand, and he easily grasped it. Then he closed his five fingers and gently pinched...

"Click."

In this effortless movement, the originally dazzling brilliance that seemed to be able to cut through everything disappeared like a moth flying into a flame, and was quietly extinguished like a fire swallowed by the night, without even a trace of residual light left, as if it had never existed...

Am I that strong?

Looking at the golden light spot that quietly disappeared in his hand, Yang Yun himself also felt an indescribable sense of unreality. You know, even in the prehistoric continent at the center of the positive multiverse, the immortals are also high-level combat forces in the conventional sense. Although they are not opponents of saints, their strength is by no means ordinary and cannot be easily controlled by ordinary junior saints.

Yang Yun knew clearly in his heart that even in the previous battle with Zheng Zha against Fuxi, facing the attack of an immortal, he would never be able to crush him as easily as he did now... Yang Yun even had a kind of inexplicable confidence that even if he really let it go, this Gengjin sword energy might not be able to penetrate his defense.

——And, this feeling…

Facing the suspicious eyes of the cultivators who surrounded him, Yang Yun slowly lowered his right hand and did not immediately attack as he did before. This action undoubtedly made the atmosphere around him even more tense. Everyone held their breath, waiting for what might happen next. And the next moment——

…He disappeared.

There was no warning, no sound, and not even the slightest energy fluctuation. At the moment when everyone's eyes were fixed on him, Yang Yun disappeared abruptly, like a drop of water that suddenly vanished out of thin air, leaving no trace.

Faced with this unexpected situation, all the cultivators in the field fell into a state of confusion almost at the same time. They looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and confusion.

At this moment, the space seemed to be still, time seemed to freeze, and even the tiny sounds in the air became extremely clear, so clear that one could hear a pin drop... After a long while, the cultivators around them gradually recovered from their shock, but facing the location where Yang Yun disappeared, they were still confused, with doubts and confusion in their hearts.

It was as if the person "Yang Yun" had never really appeared from beginning to end, and all the cultivators present were left with deep shock and disbelief.

Seeing that after a while, there was still no movement at the place where Yang Yun disappeared, dozens of immortal-level cultivators secretly communicated with each other. They all remained alert and walked forward carefully, trying to find a clue from the place where Yang Yun disappeared... But even though they tried several methods in succession, even using their hands, they still couldn't find any clues from the place where Yang Yun disappeared. Instead, the immortal who tried it looked like a monkey trying to catch the moon in the water, which was extremely funny. "Where did you go?"

"I don't know. It disappeared all of a sudden..."

"Could it be some kind of space-based magic? Or maybe a magic weapon..."

"Could it be an innate spiritual treasure?"

Seeing this, dozens of immortals immediately started to whisper to each other. When the last immortal proposed a guess, everyone suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and their communication became much smoother and more active.

"Yes! Innate spiritual treasure! Such a miraculous way of escape can only be achieved by an innate spiritual treasure!"

"The members of the Samsara team are really rich. They even have innate spiritual treasures... But why don't the members of the Samsara teams in other directions have such escape treasures?"

"I'm afraid this person is a rare existence among the members of the Samsara Squad. After all, just a random attack just now injured many soldiers of the Fifth Regiment... Strange, why did this person who had the upper hand suddenly disappear?"

"Oh, what's so strange about this? How can these members of the Samsara Team know the wonders of my Heavenly Palace cultivation? Most of them are just cowards. These terrorists were already panicked when they entered my Primordial Continent. It is normal for them to use innate spiritual treasures to hide themselves and wait for an opportunity to return to the main god space..."

"Oh, they are just wishful thinking! For today's battle, the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court have already used the Thirty-three Heavens Miro Skynet Formation to block the entire prehistoric land. Even the innate spiritual treasures cannot escape across the border of the prehistoric land... Today's battle is to wipe out these members of the Samsara Team who are born evil, and not a single one can be spared!"

——What on earth are these immortals communicating with their spiritual consciousness? Everyone is talking in encrypted form, but they are communicating with words. Let me listen too...

The immortal-level cultivators around did not choose to leave even after witnessing Yang Yun's extraordinary disappearance. Instead, they just stood there and started a small-scale discussion.

At first, their faces were filled with confusion, and they were obviously confused by the way Yang Yun disappeared. But as the discussion deepened, their expressions gradually changed - from surprise to surprise, and finally to the calmness as if they had won the game. It seemed that they had found some clues in this unexpected encounter and knew the secret of how Yang Yun disappeared...

Of course, that's just their imagination.

Ironically, Yang Yun, who had stayed in the same place from beginning to end without moving a single step, was speechless. He did not use any advanced concealment skills or any innate magic treasure to achieve his "disappearance".

All Yang Yun did was simply obey his inner feelings and activated the state he was in when he first came into this world...that's all.

Then, just like that, Yang Yun returned from the "real" state that could be observed by others to the "Schrödinger's cat" state that was both existing and non-existent, both in reality and not in reality, like being on a fuzzy boundary.

In this state, Yang Yun could observe everything that happened around him, but he seemed to be isolated from the world and could not be detected by any spells or divine consciousness. He could even clearly feel that his body was being constantly detected and scanned by countless divine consciousness, mental power, detection spells, and various perception magic weapons. However, even with so many methods, the cultivators of the Honghuang Heavenly Court around him still found nothing...

"So, what is going on here?"

Taking another step, Yang Yun separated his body from the body of another immortal-level cultivator, and spoke again. This time, he deliberately controlled his inner feelings, and naturally did not break away from the current state like before... As for his understanding of the current situation, Yang Yun's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a scene in the original world line.

In The Mummy, Zheng Zha's cultivation technology through Chu Xuan was a similar situation. For Zhao Yingkong at that time, and the Zhao brothers and sisters on the island, Zheng Zha's existence was very similar to Yang Yun's today, and he could also freely switch between the states of "existence" and "non-existence". Except that Zheng Zha could not exert his full strength in the illusion, the rest of the situation was almost exactly the same.

——So, the Time Corridor of the Tower of Babel also uses some cultivation technology, but it’s just more advanced?
Yang Yun felt that his thoughts made sense, so he decided not to delve into the details for the time being. While maintaining his current state, he turned his gaze to the encirclement not far away. Although Yang Yun's power explosion just now attracted a lot of attention, the number of cultivators around was really huge. They kept coming like a surging tide, making Xuena and Arthas still in a tense encirclement...

"Then... let's give it a try."

Feeling the immense energy around him, Yang Yun stepped on the ground and rose into the air. He looked at the cultivators who were still standing there and had not yet completely dispersed from their encirclement of him, and raised his hands.

——The next moment, the sky and the earth changed dramatically.

The spiritual energy that was originally flowing freely in the space, as well as those magic weapons that were turned into fragments after being swept by the branches of Jianmu, were suddenly attracted by a powerful and invisible gravitational force, forming a huge vortex.

Like a huge furnace, it began to stir, collide and mix wildly, and all the substances involved began to undergo qualitative changes. The spiritual energy and the fragments of the magic weapon merged with each other and turned into a mighty torrent.

"what?"

"Who is casting the spell?"

"Oh no! Could it be that the members of the Samsara team haven't left yet—"

"late."

Holding the surging energy in both hands, Yang Yun stood in the sky and pushed down with one palm——

The next moment, an unstoppable torrent was like a river hanging upside down in the sky, or like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, ruthlessly dragging countless cultivators, including dozens of immortals, into it, and all of them were swept rapidly toward the ground!
