Chapter 1774 - 1372: Twisted Space!
Shattering Void!
Before the force completely erupted, it caused a temporary space distortion in the corresponding area due to the collapse of a large patch of Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism.
In this state of space distortion and collapse, this space becomes extremely dangerous, the Heaven and Earth Power is extremely chaotic and turbulent, and ordinary strong experts who haven’t opened the ’Special View’ ability wouldn’t even notice the ’space’ twisting and collapsing.
At this moment, both Xiao Sanxiao and Xiao Jingtian are of course able to perceive it.
But this is a carefully planned strike by Jiang Dali, cleverly seizing the timing mentioned by Xiao Sanxiao to suddenly attack the two on their way, catching them off guard.
Even Xiao Sanxiao did not expect such a result. Although he had guessed to some extent, he hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Dali could precisely detect the whereabouts of Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi in advance, so that after releasing his hand and detecting the Qi Mechanism of the two rebellious sons, he did not hesitate to deliver all his remaining power.
At that moment, his spirit soared to an extremely terrifying degree, his entire momentum was so strong it almost formed a substantial whirlwind and a terrifying magnetic field, causing the surrounding space to emit arcs of Extreme Light and electric arcs, lifting stones from the ground into the air, clothes on his body began to shred apart, and his originally aged body suddenly bulged with strong and sinewy muscles, emerging from the torn clothes, shockingly dramatic.
Jiang Dali’s pupils suddenly contracted, feeling as if the skin exposed on his body was sensing static electricity in the air, tingling, "What a majestic power!"
Boom!!——
A thick arc exploded at the location where the Xiao brothers were, akin to thunder striking the ground, clearly visible from two miles away.
Under Jiang Dali’s extremely grave perception, it felt like the space within the fifty-yard range around the Xiao brothers was extremely chaotic and distorted, and just when that thick arc exploded, the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism in that area completely collapsed into a primordial chaos state.
At the same time, a terrifying jet-black space rift appeared abruptly twenty yards away from the Xiao brothers, like the giant mouth of a beast, emitting endless terrifying suction.
In an instant, that terrifying suction from the black rift engulfed the earth, including the trees on the ground, completely devouring them.
It seemed as if an invisible mouth had instantly taken a huge bite out of the earth, including the impending engulfment of the Xiao brothers.
"Ah!!"
"You old bastard!!"
Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian screamed horribly and angrily, resembling two small insects frantically struggling under what seemed like a giant abyssal mouth.
Suddenly, the Great Demon God Xiao Jingtian’s eyes flashed brightly, bursting with indescribable brilliance, his entire majestic frame suddenly exploding with dazzling strong light, frantically boosting his Qi Mechanism just before the arrival of the Shattering Void rift, emitting a terrifying momentum that shook the heavens and earth.
Xiao Aoshi followed suit.
The two knew they could hardly completely escape, so they simply unleashed a counterattack, and at the instant before being swallowed by the space rift, they simultaneously heightened their momentum, attempting to ’reinforce’ this space with their strong Qi Mechanism, forming two temporary ’Space Pillars’.
Boom!!
A deafening explosion sounded suddenly two miles away.
Where the black rift was devouring, a dazzling light erupted, like purple thunder, breaking the darkness.
In the purple thunder light, a huge arrogant silhouette stood proudly like a Demon God in the electric arc, actually resisting the space rift, causing the rift to shrink from large to small.
Xiao Sanxiao suddenly groaned, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the old face showed prominent veins, terribly frightening.
"Is this what he meant by the interference of a strong person’s powerful Qi Mechanism with the Shattering Void?"
Jiang Dali’s gaze condensed.
The next moment!
’Crack!’
Amidst a brittle explosion sound, as if the Heavenly Vault was breaking, the purple electric light in that area suddenly fractured into numerous branched flashes, then all the flashes vanished simultaneously, plunging into chaos and darkness.
The figures of Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian were almost simultaneously engulfed in darkness.
"These two guys forcibly weakened the Shattering Void’s power!"
There was a flash of chill in Jiang Dali’s eyes as he glanced at Xiao Sanxiao, who was panting heavily and almost sitting on the ground, and said, "Let’s do it again!"
Xiao Sanxiao rolled his eyes and forced a smile, saying, "No, no need! Those two have surely suffered severe injuries, I just want to disable them, not kill them. You go ahead! I’ll catch my breath and follow shortly!"
"I think you won’t be able to use the power of Shattering Void twice in such a short time."
Jiang Dali chuckled inwardly, bent his knees, and his figure shot out like a cannonball, swiftly heading towards Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian two miles away.
Meanwhile, in his mind, he rapidly began to evolve the ’Mysteries of Shattering Void’ he had sensed earlier, and the details of Xiao Sanqiao leveraging Breaking Realm Power to utilize ’Shattering Void’ unfolded clearly in his mind.
If the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism is likened to a giant net.
Then the vast power gathered by Xiao Sanxiao earlier is like a massive sharp knife.
In fact, it shouldn’t even be called a sharp knife, because a sharp knife can only cut a huge gash in the net in an instant, but it cannot make every single mesh and string of the net break entirely in that moment.
Shattering Void needs to break the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism within a certain area, causing it to collapse in an instant, which requires every string of the ’Qi Mechanism Net’ within that area to break, missing even one is impossible.
But if only a small area of void is shattered, it might be easier.
For instance, shattering just a square foot of void is definitely easier than shattering a square yard of void, since tearing every string of a square foot net is certainly much easier than cutting every string of a square yard net.
However, Jiang Dali also clearly sensed earlier that Xiao Sanxiao’s power initially only shattered a very small piece of void, roughly only three inches across, and nearly the instant it was shattered, that tiny void was about to recover in a flash, as if Heaven and Earth Power does not allow such rifts to appear, swiftly repairing.
But as Xiao Sanxiao suddenly enhanced his power, the space rift abruptly expanded, thereby forming the Shattering Void Power that thoroughly threatened the Xiao brothers.
Thus, he speculated, the size of the space rift broken by Shattering Void is directly related to the duration it is maintained and its might, and completely differs in its consumption from person to person.
"So it seems, Shattering Void is clearly a state of opposing Heaven and Earth, tearing through Heaven and Earth Power, enduring its pressure, and forcibly opening a rift in the void. The smaller the rift, the less power it consumes, and vice versa... I wonder if my Heaven-defying Destiny Chart will hold some advantage in this aspect?"
As Jiang Dali largely understood some principles of the Mysteries of Shattering Void, his panel simultaneously popped up with a corresponding message.
"You have observed the Outer World Expert Xiao Sanxiao ingeniously borrowing Breaking Realm Power to shatter the void, and upon detailed observation, have gained profound insights, comprehending the Mysteries of [Shattering Void].
You begin to understand the Mysteries of [Shattering Void], current understanding progress at 21%... your proficiency in the ’War God Chronicles’ has increased by 54%..."
A certain scene from the War God Chronicles emerged in Jiang Dali’s mind.
Yet even before he could ponder further, ahead of him was already the chaotic land filled with oppressive and agitated aura.
Before him, a massive pit appeared out of thin air, spanning a dozen yards in diameter and depth.
Jiang Dali’s steps abruptly halted five yards from the pit’s edge, his pupils slightly contracted as he stared at the seemingly ordinary void ahead, only to see the dust rising slightly from below twisting and chaotic, like air distorted under high heat.
He suddenly drew the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, probing the blade forward.
Instantly, the blade of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber bizarrely bent and deformed out of thin air, as though an invisible giant hand in the air was fiercely bending the blade, yet Jiang Dali felt no force exerted on the blade.
He immediately realized that this space distortion had not yet recovered, the distortion quietly acting on the blade, directly altering the form of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, the power so immense and strong that one wouldn’t even sense its existence.
Just like a person within space, yet unable to sense the presence of space materially.
Shaken at heart, he abruptly withdrew the blade.
The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber pulled out from the distorted space, returning to its original state.
His gaze suddenly turned to the indistinct figures in the dust within the pit below, breathing heavily like beasts, gathering power in his eyes to witness an extremely horrifying scene...
