Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 142 Targeting

The Time-Space Prison, nearly a hundred light-years in diameter, looks like a massive, constantly twisting and rotating nebula vortex.

The entire area of ​​the Time-Space Prison is filled with violent and chaotic spacetime forces, forming terrifying "forbidden zones".

In this "Land of Despair," not only is time and space completely disordered, but under the turbulent power of spacetime, even the soul and divine body will suffer great damage.

Based on the degree of agitation of the spacetime power, the entire Spacetime Prison Nebula Vortex was divided into nine layers.

The further in you go, the more disordered time and space become, and the more terrifying the resulting "forbidden land" becomes.

Within the fifth level of the forbidden zone, even an immortal king could barely withstand it, while only a cosmic venerable could remain safe within it.

Upon reaching the eighth level, the vast majority of cosmic venerables would suffer severe injuries.

The most crucial ninth region is probably only accessible to the universe's master who has complete control over time and space!

However, order will always emerge from chaos.

While it is true that space and time are disordered within the Time-Space Prison, certain special areas are where strands of spatial and temporal forces collide and cancel each other out, creating safe havens.

These unique locations are interconnected, forming safe paths within the Time-Space Prison.

Countless epochs ago, the natives of the Fourth Extraterrestrial Battlefield successfully retreated into the depths of the Time-Space Prison by using these safe routes, thus avoiding the slaughter by several top races.

Moreover, such strange and dangerous places can also give birth to special materials, plants, and even natural treasures that contain powerful spacetime forces.

Time and space are the two most powerful forces in the primordial universe. These special materials, plants, and treasures are naturally rare and precious, and each one can fetch an astonishingly high price.

This is one of the reasons why many powerful figures who have reached the rank of King are attracted to venture into it despite the dangers.

Outside the Time-Space Prison, at various "safe entrances," powerful immortals at the King level can often be seen coming and going.

The starry sky not far away rippled slightly, and a dark blue ancient sword-shaped spaceship slowly emerged.

"Whoosh!"

The hatch of the ancient sword-shaped spaceship opened, and a black-haired youth wearing strange golden patterned armor flew out.

"Hmm? Another powerful expert has arrived?"

In the surrounding starry sky, powerful beings who had reached the King level noticed the situation.

"Black hair, human, could this be the newly risen human 'King of Reincarnation'?"

"Our clan told us to keep an eye on the movements of this King of Reincarnation, and I never expected to run into him."

An immortal king with strange compound eyes and a ferocious mouth stared at this side, but his consciousness was rapidly reporting through the internal network.

"The location of the Human Reincarnation King has been discovered, near the entrance to the Time-Space Prison 0284721334."

"Such powerful spacetime forces! In some places, they're almost distorting and generating chaotic currents!"

As Zhou Yang gazed at the enormous, constantly rotating and twisting nebula vortex, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"Spending time cultivating here might help me grasp the laws of spacetime evolution more quickly."

He smiled faintly, but his figure transformed into a stream of light, rushing swiftly into the nebula vortex ahead along a special passage.

Before coming here, he had naturally made ample preparations, easily obtaining path maps to some safe places in this spacetime prison with his superior privileges.

This is a virtual universe network shared by countless human kings who have ventured here, so it is naturally very detailed.

However, as space and time constantly change within the Time-Space Prison, some of the original safe paths will also evolve and disappear.

Therefore, when going on adventures, one cannot completely follow the so-called "safe map" and must always pay attention to the changes in the Time-Space Prison to find safe places.

Zhou Yang flew through the vast swirling nebula, covering tens of thousands of kilometers with a single movement, traveling at an extremely rapid pace.

Not far to his sides, enormous spatial rifts, large enough to engulf an entire planet, would occasionally appear. These rifts would collide with each other, creating terrifying spatial explosions!

Sometimes, one can witness the passage of time, with plants on fragments of stars growing, flourishing, and eventually withering and dying in a fleeting moment.

Various bizarre scenes kept appearing, and a hazy halo of light kept flowing, making it look extremely dreamlike.

Zhou Yang flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized rhombus-shaped crystal tablet. One side of the tablet was carved with a continuous palace, and the other side was engraved with the two characters "Shang Jun".

It was a "cave dwelling token" obtained from the demon king Yunyi.

Zhou Yang probed a wisp of consciousness into the 'Cave Abode Token' in his hand, and soon a vague guiding force appeared in his mind.

"This distance is so far. It seems we have to go deep into the depths of this spatial prison. That's true. If we don't hide deep inside, these natives would probably have been found and slaughtered by countless powerful figures from the major clans long ago."

"Let's go check it out. Hopefully, I'll be lucky and this cave hasn't been discovered by anyone else. Speaking of which, someone who's never won a 'buy one get one free' drink must be pretty lucky, right?"

Zhou Yang sighed and smiled, not really taking the so-called cave treasure to heart, treating it as a diversion during his training and cultivation.

Following that vague guiding force, he kept changing safe paths as he hurried forward.

However, the space and time inside the Time-Space Prison are in complete chaos, and the so-called safe path is constantly changing.

Sometimes, even though the map clearly marks a safe path, stepping onto it can suddenly cause a shift in space and time, followed by an endless, violent surge of spacetime power that can cause irreversible damage to your soul!

Along the way, Zhou Yang has accidentally stumbled into the dangerous "Prison of Despair" several times.

Fortunately, he was still on the outskirts of the Time-Space Prison, and the power of time and space was relatively limited. He was able to temporarily control time and space to a certain extent by using the "Qiankun" secret technique, which allowed him to escape danger without any real harm.

"Phew~ This Time-Space Prison truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Number One Dangerous Place.' That terrifying scouring force just now—if it were an ordinary King-level Immortal, their soul would probably be annihilated!"

Zhou Yang struggled to break free from another "deadly prison," gaining a deeper understanding of the dangers of this time-space deadly prison.

To be on the safe side, he had no choice but to slow down, using an ordinary telekinetic weapon to scout ahead while cautiously advancing.

They proceeded in this manner for nearly two months without encountering any further dangerous situations.

As for the figures of other powerful individuals, they didn't even encounter half of them.

That's normal. The Time-Space Prison itself is nearly a hundred light-years in diameter, and its internal space is layered, so its actual area is several times larger.

Let alone hundreds of thousands of titles, even millions or tens of millions, scattered across such a large area, would be like ants in the ocean. Unless one is actively seeking them out, how easy would it be to encounter them?

However, just as this thought arose in Zhou Yang's mind, he keenly sensed a series of unusual noises coming from ahead.

"Rumble~~~"

The sound grew stronger and stronger, as if it were rapidly approaching him, interspersed with faint shouts.

A powerful battle aura spread outwards, even causing signs of disruption to the already extremely fragile spacetime balance along this safe path.

Zhou Yang, who was moving forward, stopped abruptly, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"A powerful figure is fighting?"
