Chapter 298 Acceleration
Chen Tianfeng did not try to show off his strength. With his current strength, he could defeat ordinary demons without cheating and using [Death]. But it was obvious that he could not defeat a veteran demon like Ying, who was best at attacking.
Unless he could "eat" some more demons, or some other special energy of high enough rank.
Or really come alive.
He clenched his fists, somewhat missing himself in his heyday.
But fortunately, the current strength is sufficient, and there are two modes: reasonable and unreasonable.
When speaking reasonably, his combat power is slightly higher than that of ordinary demons in Teyvat, but not much, and slightly lower than veteran demons like Zhongli and Ying; when speaking unreasonablely... well, no matter whether it is the demon of Teyvat or the Dragon King, none of them can beat him.
——Even if I could fight, I wouldn’t dare to fight Him, let alone fight Him.
Chen Tianfeng withdrew his thoughts, glanced at Ying and the general who were about to fight until who knows when, thought for a while, and simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out the Earth Vein Source Stone, and tried to sense the earth veins in this strange space.
Sure enough, it was blank, as if this space was independent of Teyvat and would not be recorded by the earth veins.
No... there seems to be a special kind of fluctuation, like... some kind of sprout about to sprout?
Chen Tianfeng became interested. He closed his eyes, held the Earth Vein Stone in one hand and pressed the other hand on the ground. He felt the mercury pouring and spreading, and tried his best to explore the peculiarities of this space.
One second, two seconds... one hour, two hours...
I don’t know how long it took, maybe three or five hours, maybe three or five days.
Chen Tianfeng finally opened his eyes, glanced at the two thunder gods who were still fighting with all their might and with astonishing momentum, retracted his hand, pinched his chin, and said in his heart that it was interesting.
It’s another trick of time. Now the cornerstone of Inazuma’s existence is actually built on an uncertain trick of time. What a bold choice.
Leave everything to the future. If the future lives up to your expectations, there will naturally be no troubles, and it may even be perfect. But once something goes wrong in the future, the past and the present will collapse due to a series of chain reactions.
The two generations of Thunder God of Inazuma should not have the authority over time, so the existence that provided help to Inazuma was just giving Inazuma a chance to gamble - to gamble whether Inazuma's future would be as God wished.
The means are naturally excellent...but before this kind of time trick is closed, for some beings, it is just fish meat that can be kneaded and modified at will.
And even if the time loop is closed, it will be in vain if the person who closes the loop is not of high enough status.
It's like facing a vicious bandit with a knife or sword, and the only thing you can rely on is a rotten wooden door. It has more decorative significance than practical significance.
Should I find a way to strengthen it... Chen Tianfeng pondered, and his left hand subconsciously played with the Earth Vein Source Stone like a walnut.
After a long while, he stopped and made a decision.
I haven't seen time magic for a long time, and I'm itching to try it. Besides, Ying can be considered his friend to some extent, so I'll give a hand if I can do it and there's no loss.
Chen Tianfeng put away the Earth Vein Source Stone, stood up, put his right index finger and middle finger together, made a sword finger shape, and gently stroked his left wrist.
Blood gushed out and, pulled by an invisible force, condensed into a ball in the air.
Chen Tianfeng suppressed the restless death energy in his blood, making it appear normal red instead of the ominous gray. Then he used blood as ink and patiently and meticulously drew a complicated and dazzling nameless formation diagram on the ground. Not long after, when the formation diagram was half drawn, Chen Tianfeng looked at the formation diagram, frowned slightly, took back some blood, and corrected the mistakes in the formation diagram.
I haven’t painted for a long time, and my hands feel a little stiff... Chen Tianfeng muttered.
This formation has no name. It was taught to him by one of his few god friends in the Holy Spirit World—real friends, not friends who just eat delicious food—and it is very suitable for dealing with time tricks.
Whether it is strengthening, weakening or breaking the time loop, it can be done easily.
After all, that guy is the one who has reached the pinnacle of time among all the gods in the Holy Spirit World.
Chen Tianfeng thought of the sacred Vermillion Bird, and a smile appeared in his eyes, but it quickly faded. He pursed his lips and sighed softly.
"It's done."
Chen Tianfeng clapped his hands, checked again and again to make sure there were no mistakes, then he calmed down and made a seal.
The bright red array began to operate, gradually fading, and finally turning into a transparent gel with a little grayish white mixed in. The invisible wave spread out from the array. The array glowed, and dozens of intertwined lines lit up strong light, condensing into a transparent grayish-white snake in the air. It was quietly coiled, its tongue flickering.
"go."
Chen Tianfeng changed his magic seals and controlled the gray-white snake to drill into the deep purple portal that had just opened in the formation. If you look closely, you will find that at this moment Chen Tianfeng's eyes have turned into gray-white snake pupils, evil and cold.
The gray and white little snake swung its tail, tearing open the chaotic time corridor from [this moment], ignoring the abnormal historical light and shadow around it, and swam straight to the most special moment where [time] began.
Countless gray-white starlights escaped from the little snake's body. They spread rapidly as the little snake swam, penetrating into one tiny and broken light and shadow after another, turning countless colorful light and shadow fragments into gray-white.
As the little snake swam, Chen Tianfeng naturally knew the length of the tunnel during this period of time - five hundred years.
Five hundred years, as expected... He thought of something, the corners of his lips curled up, he closed his eyes lightly, the seal in his hand changed again, and he silently uttered two words: accelerate.
Speed up! Speed up again!
At the border of the Sea of Thunder, at the edge of the battlefield between the two demons, Chen Tianfeng's body suddenly began to flicker.
He seemed to jump out of time, and seemed to have transformed into millions of incarnations, equally placed in every piece of historical light and shadow over the past five hundred years, regardless of size or content.
If someone was lucky enough to see the demon war in the consciousness space at this time, and was lucky enough not to be disturbed by the chaotic time in the consciousness space, but to observe it with a certain "normal time perception", they would find that from the moment Chen Tianfeng closed his eyes, the space was like the speed play button was pressed.
Abnormal time passes abnormally fast.
One day, two days... One year, two years... One hundred years, two hundred years...
Five hundred years passed in a flash!
"This duel is really nostalgic. It's like going back to the time when the Eternal Law was just established."
The puppet general held a naginata in his hand, looking at the shadow of a long sword pointing diagonally at the ground not far away, his eyes filled with nostalgia and a hint of reminiscence.
How long has it been since we had such a thrilling battle?
He took a deep breath. The hundreds of years of fighting and the fact that the monster was trapped in the consciousness space so that it could not harm Inazuma, the two combined, finally calmed the Puppet General down.
