The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

Tu Gang, who was at the very front, gradually showed a look of shock on his metallic features.

Because he could feel that his mind was very clear, but his body felt as if it were being pulled by thousands of invisible threads.

He tried to turn his head to check on his teammates, a simple action that took him a full three seconds to complete!

"Time... Domain..."

The Lord of Spiritlight's green lips slowly opened and closed, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

Everyone realized that they had entered a special realm of time slow-motion, where everything was slowed down by at least tens of thousands of times!
Just as everyone was trapped in the quagmire of time, the void on both sides of the chains suddenly twisted and tore apart!

"Hiss-!"

Dozens of dark figures shot out from the void like lightning and surrounded the crowd from all directions!

In an instant, dozens of dark gazes locked onto the group.

They quickly looked over and clearly saw the appearance of the monsters.

It was a mantis-like monster, its entire body covered in a dark gold carapace.

Their forelimbs are like two sharp scythes, capable of cutting through space when swung!
Even more terrifying is that these monsters seem unaffected by this slow-motion time field; their movements and attacks are incredibly fluid!

“This…is…the…danger…that…they…were…talking about……” Tu Gang’s pupils contracted.

The Great Beast Lord raised his hands high, intending to unleash lightning to annihilate the monsters.

However, the lightning he unleashed was slowed down by ten thousand times.

Linghui, standing nearby, wanted to raise his spiritual energy sword to slay the monsters, but he also discovered that his spiritual energy was gathering at an extremely slow pace.

The attacks from Qinghe, Yaolian, Miaoqing, and others were all slowed down infinitely!

And in the blink of an eye, those mantis-like monsters shot out like lightning, each rushing toward their prey!

"Swish—swish swish—!"

A series of cold lights flashed as the monsters, wielding scythes, instantly closed in on the group!
Three monsters brandished scythes, looking at Tu Gang from different directions, aiming at his heart, neck, and back of the head.

Tu Gang's metallic body had only just begun to gleam with a defensive sheen when it was too late to parry.

Four monsters attacked Linghui, their blades less than three inches from her body, the bursting blade energy even cutting bloody gashes into her skin.

The cold light of death was reflected in Qinghe's jade-like eyes. She saw two mantis monsters rapidly enlarging in front of her, yet she couldn't even move a finger!
All the monsters launched their attacks simultaneously, each strike aimed at a vital spot!

For the vast majority of lords, this was a certain death situation!
In a time domain slowed down ten thousand times, there is no way to form an effective resistance, let alone for the enemy to be completely unaffected.

It was a completely targeted killing move!

At this critical moment!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Three arrows pierced the air and accurately pierced the heads of the three monsters that pounced first!

The spacetime ripples wrapped around the arrow trace a dazzling trail of light in the slow-motion world.

Everyone struggled to turn their eyes and look behind them.

Han Xing, clad in star-studded armor, stood calmly on the chains, continuously drawing back the [Eternal Night Bow] and firing arrows.

His movements were fluid and unaffected by the time dimension.

In fact, within this realm of time, he moves even faster than usual!
"Whoosh—whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

A dense barrage of arrows rained down like a storm!

In a mere second, he fired a million arrows!

Before the monsters could react to Han Xing's sudden outburst, they were already surrounded by a hail of arrows!
then……

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

A series of explosions rang out as mantis monsters burst apart!

However, at the moment these monsters' shells shattered, what burst out of their bodies was not flesh and blood, but distorted fragments of time!
"boom--!"

When the last monster was shot down, everyone on the field felt a sense of lightness in their bodies, and their movements returned to normal.

"call……"

The group breathed a sigh of relief.

The coal ball was even more tense, its limbs taut and its fur standing on end!
Clearly, the situation they had just witnessed, where they were powerless to stop the enemy's attack, left them feeling terrified.

Fortunately, the crisis was eventually resolved by the Korean star.

Tu Gang turned his head, his face filled with admiration: "My benefactor, how did you do that?"

"This time slow-motion field has no effect on you? Or is your benefactor's speed so fast that he can ignore this field?"

Everyone else looked at the Korean star with curiosity, clearly also very interested in the question.

Han Xing chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. You can think of it as one of my special abilities."

"Under normal circumstances, this kind of time-related ability is ineffective against me."

Just kidding, he possesses the [Time Beast Body], making him naturally immune to all effects like time stopping, time slowing down, and time reversing...

Therefore, the crisis on the chains had no effect on him at all.

Moreover, although this crisis looks terrifying, the monsters are actually not very strong.

It's roughly equivalent to the combat power of a low-level god lord.

The biggest crisis is that they suddenly enter a realm of slow motion by 10,000 times and are unable to adapt.

After hearing this, the team members all nodded in understanding.

They also knew that Korean stars possessed many amazing and powerful abilities, so they didn't press the matter further.

"Okay, let's move on."

Han Xing waved his hand and said, "Stay alert, let's slow down."

"It seems the safe zone is over. We will encounter many crises ahead, so everyone stay vigilant."

Upon hearing this, everyone gripped their weapons tightly and entered a fighting stance.

Then, maintaining their formation, they continued to advance at a constant speed of 5,000 kilometers per second.

At this speed, if they don't encounter any other problems along the way, they will be able to cross the remaining chains and reach the destination in less than a minute.

The surrounding scenery rushed past them, and the chains beneath their feet swayed under their footsteps.

I must say, it's a very strange feeling.

It's like walking on clouds, surrounded by endless clouds that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Only a single bronze chain extends to the horizon, giving the impression of being inside a traditional Chinese ink painting.

Of course, this is not a place for relaxation.

After all, in the secret realm, no matter what your strength is, your ability to fly will be ineffective.

In other words, once someone falls from the chains, they will be completely destroyed.

...

...

Meanwhile, as Han Xing and his group weathered the first wave of the crisis, other lords also gradually reached the 20-kilometer range.

They each encountered different situations.

"Boom!"

A massive, six-armed lord stood on bronze chains, each step causing the chains to shake violently.

His body was covered in bulging muscles, and his primal power erupted, making him incredibly fast, almost turning into a blur.

However, just as he crossed the 200,000-kilometer mark...

"Om-!"

The entire space suddenly froze!

The six-armed lord's pupils constricted sharply as he was surprised to find himself bound by an invisible force, his movements becoming incredibly sluggish!
Clearly, he encountered the same situation as Korean stars and others.

"Oh no... this is... the... most... troublesome... time... vortex..."

He was horrified; all six arms simultaneously tried to condense weapons and enter battle mode.

However, his speed was also suppressed to the extreme here, and even the condensation of the weapons was like slow motion. The six weapons were only half-condensed.

The next second, dozens of dark figures suddenly sprang out from the abyss!
It was the same group of mantis-like creatures that had attacked Han Xing and his companions earlier!

“Swish, swish, swish—!”

Almost the instant the monsters appeared, they launched their fiercest attack on the six-armed lord without the slightest hesitation!
A dense array of cold lights flashed by, and the limbs, sharp as sickles, instantly slashed towards his body.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The six-armed lord had no time to resist before he felt waves of excruciating pain throughout his body!

Then, to his horror, he discovered that all six of his arms, and even his legs, had been severed in an instant, and blood was gushing out!

"Roar!! Get...out...of...me..."

He roared, trying to unleash his divine power to break free of his restraints, but his movements remained sluggish.

A mantis monster suddenly leaped up, its scythe aimed straight at his brow!

"No!"

"puff!"

Blood splattered as the lord, possessing the combat power of a mid-level god-lord, crashed to the ground and plunged into the endless abyss...

Below, a shadow surged through the clouds, engulfing the corpse of this mid-level god-lord.

...

...

On the other side, a lord wearing a red crown, a cloak of burning flames, and radiating intense divine fire was running at high speed on the chains!
With each step he took, the intense heat instantly turned the bronze chains beneath his feet a deep red.

Like a blazing sun, it moved with incredible speed, covering a distance of twenty kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Just then, he suddenly felt a breeze coming from ahead, a breeze carrying endless chill.

In an instant, the chains beneath his feet froze into ice crystals, and a bone-chilling cold rushed up his body from the soles of his feet.

The Flame Lord's pupils contracted sharply, and the divine flames around him began to flicker and sway uncontrollably.

"It's actually the Extreme Cold Domain... We've encountered it so quickly?"

His gaze was serious, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes: "Was it just bad luck, or was it a specific area of ​​expertise?"

As a fire lord, he was born with a scorching heat.

Even without lifting a finger, the flames on his body alone are enough to easily scorch a low-level god.

The time-domain that Han Xing and others encountered had absolutely no effect on him.

Because the monsters could barely get close to his body before being burned to ashes.

This time, however, it was the Extreme Cold Domain that appeared, clearly intended to target his flames.

Just as he was thinking.

"Crack!"

A crystalline icicle suddenly shot out from the void and pierced through his shoulder in an instant.

The blood froze before it could flow, and his entire right arm immediately lost sensation.

"hiss!!"

The fire lord gasped; the power of this attack seemed to exceed his expectations.

"Shh-!"

A second whooshing sound came, and this time he reacted.

He raised his left hand and unleashed a massive fire dragon.

"boom!!!"

The fire dragon devoured the ice spikes and illuminated the chains ahead.

Upon seeing the figure ahead, the fire lord's pupils suddenly contracted!

A woman made of pure ice was slowly walking towards them. With each step she took, large ice flowers condensed in the void, and even time seemed to be frozen.

Even his flames were suppressed and even extinguished by the opponent's cold aura.

"This...how is this possible?"

The fire lord murmured, "We are both mid-level god-lords, so why can your ice dispel my flames?"

However, the woman opposite did not answer, but instead spoke in a voice as cold as iron: "Intruder, turn into an ice sculpture."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hands, and terrifying waves of cold air erupted!

The fire elemental lord's expression hardened. "As a fellow mid-level god-lord, I'm not afraid of you!"

He also unleashed all his strength, colliding violently with the opponent's cold wave!

"Boom! Boom!"

After a fierce and earth-shattering battle, the violent elemental fluctuations in this area subsided.

The upper body of the ice woman opposite had melted, leaving only her legs frozen to the chains.

Meanwhile, the flames on the fire-elemental god's body had been completely extinguished...

...

...

Not only these two lords, but other gods in the Western Regions also encountered different situations.

For example, Venerable Kuhai encountered the "Illusory Realm of No Return," where countless illusions prevented him from escaping.

Finally, by severing his own arm, the excruciating pain instantly brought him to his senses, allowing him to escape.

The assassin from the Thousand Kill Alliance encountered the [Shadow Devouring Calamity], an absolute dark illusion that even clouded his consciousness.

Despite paying a considerable price, they eventually escaped danger.

All lords must undergo trials after reaching a certain distance.

Some lords were able to pass through and continued on their way.

Some lords were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, ultimately remaining in this abyss forever.

It is fair to say that in this first wave of crisis alone, at least half of the lords will suffer losses.

However, since they dared to venture into this insurmountable barrier, they were naturally prepared to die.

If you lack the strength and fall halfway, no one can blame you.

...

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ninety seconds had gone by.

For half a minute, Han Xing maintained the accelerated state of "Flowing Light Without a Trace", keeping the team's speed at a terrifying level.

This is to ensure that we can avoid a crisis at the first opportunity.

In those ninety-odd seconds, they traveled another 250,000 kilometers.

There are less than 30,000 kilometers left to the end of the chain.

However, they also encountered at least four or five crises during this period.

For example, when the squad reached the 300,000-kilometer mark, they encountered another group of special enemies.

They resembled translucent black shadows, without any physical form, yet exuding a chilling and unsettling aura.

Han Xing's arrow attacks and Ling Hui's sword attacks had no effect; this was a monster that was immune to physical attacks.

Fortunately, the Great Beast Lord's Primordial Thunder Beast form seems to have a powerful restraining effect on these monsters with its thunderous power.

A violent burst of lightning erupted, and the monsters twisted and screamed in the thunder before finally dissipating into wisps of black smoke.
