Chapter 6098 Temporal Laws
When Long Zhantian’s attack struck the barrier, it rippled—and the next moment, Long Chen witnessed something astonishing.
They had originally been three hundred meters from the barrier. But as the ripples faded, they found themselves miles away.
It wasn’t the barrier that had moved—it was them. They had been pushed back.
Even more unsettling, they were no longer standing side by side. One was ahead, the other behind, as if time had shifted around them. Long Chen hadn’t even sensed anything odd.
“Dad…” Long Chen muttered, looking at Long Zhantian in shock.
Long Zhantian studied the barrier gravely. “This is the one that has trapped the Lei family for countless years. It’s laced with temporal laws. I just tested it—the laws slightly reversed our flow of time.”
Reversed the flow of time?
Long Chen’s heart shook. Just how were they supposed to resist such power?
Long Zhantian formed hand seals, and divine runes manifested, condensing into a large hand that slowly pressed against the barrier.
BANG!
The hand exploded, and Long Zhantian swayed, his face turning pale.
“Dad, are you alright?!” Long Chen asked.
Long Zhantian shook his head to indicate it wasn’t anything serious.
Long Chen eyed the barrier, then suddenly swung Evilmoon at it.
BOOM!
A giant ripple exploded, and spacetime twisted. In an instant, Long Chen was thrown miles away, and Evilmoon was back on his back as if nothing had happened. Even Long Zhantian was pulled back with him.
Long Chen stared in disbelief. This power was beyond his comprehension.
“Dad, if I were to go all-out, would the rebound from these temporal laws send us all the way back into the city?” asked Long Chen.
He was ready to unleash a full-force attack, reasoning that the laws weren’t destructive—just displacing.
Long Zhantian shook his head. “All laws have their counters. There are no absolutes. This power should be limited to a tiny space, and it shouldn’t be able to endure a powerful karma. Go ahead—try it!”
Suddenly, Long Zhantian pulled out a bottle and hurled it at the barrier. The bottle shattered on impact, and he was instantly teleported several steps back.
“See that?” he said. “I was forced back, but the bottle wasn’t. If it were a true temporal reversal, the bottle would have reformed. That means this barrier’s time laws are incomplete.”
Long Chen nodded. That was what he’d suspected too. If it really reversed time, then slaying a group of devil creatures in front of it and hitting the barrier would undo their deaths. But that wouldn’t happen.
If that kind of power really existed, it would truly be heaven-defying. If Long Chen could control it, wouldn’t he be able to revive the old man, Qu Jianying, Ling Yunzi, Lu Fang-er, and all the Dragonblood warriors who had died fighting on the Martial Heaven Continent?
However, Long Zhantian’s test showed that this was not possible. The laws of time were not omnipotent.
At this moment, countless figures appeared on the other side of the barrier. A group of devil creatures had been disturbed.
At that moment, a group of devil creatures appeared behind the barrier. They passed through it effortlessly, charging forward.
With a flick, Evilmoon’s countless flower petals sliced them to pieces.
“How odd. Why can they pass through so easily?” Long Chen frowned.
“We always suspected they came from beyond the barrier, but seeing it firsthand is different,” said Long Zhantian.
“Could this barrier be like a flowing river?” Long Chen speculated. “You can move with the current but not against it.”
Nodding, Long Zhantian replied, “That’s very likely. But if that’s the case, then why hasn’t the Lei family found an exit after all these years? Before the devil creatures even arrived, they had countless centuries to explore.”
Long Chen agreed. If the Lei family hadn’t found an exit even after so long, it meant there was simply no exit.
If the laws of time were like a current, then the place they were trapped in was nothing more than a cage within the current. Even if they knew the direction of the current, it was useless.
“Dad, I want to try brute force,” Long Chen said.
“That may be the only option.”
Long Zhantian nodded. If he were in his peak state, he would also try breaking the barrier with brute force.
Stars flared around Long Chen, and he punched the barrier.
BOOM!
The ground quaked. But again, the barrier held, and Long Chen was thrown hundreds of miles back.
“Eight Star Battle Armor!”
Long Chen shouted, activating the weight runes on his arm.
BOOM!
The impact twisted the barrier violently. The very earth cracked, and the heavens seemed to tremble. But still… the barrier remained intact.
Seeing that, Long Chen summoned the Earth Cauldron. Although it was still in slumber, he didn’t need its help. He just needed its body.
BOOM!
Long Chen lightly tapped the barrier with it. This time, he was not forced back.
The barrier was shaking violently. As Long Chen had expected, in front of the Earth Cauldron, this barrier was nothing. It could not send him flying.
As stars swirled along Long Chen, he pushed the Earth Cauldron against the barrier.
Cracks began to spread across the barrier. Long Chen’s eyes lit up—it was working!
But then, Long Zhantian’s frightened cry rang out in his ear.
“Chen-er, stop!”
Long Chen looked back in confusion, and his heart sank.
The barrier wasn’t the only thing covered in cracks here—the world behind Long Chen was also fracturing.
“If you keep going, the world we’re in might break before the barrier!” warned Long Zhantian.
The realm they were in had depleted resources and incomplete laws. It was too fragile. Under pressure, it would shatter first.
“Then what do we do?” Long Chen muttered bitterly. Was there truly no way out?
As if in response, the barrier disturbance attracted more devil creatures. They surged forward and passed through it like water.
“Die!”
Enraged, Long Chen swung Evilmoon, blasting the devil creatures backward. Many of them slammed into the barrier from their side.
Instead of passing through, they triggered glowing divine runes. The barrier rippled… and exploded, annihilating the devil creatures.
Seeing those divine runes, Long Chen and Long Zhantian shouted in unison.
“So that’s how it works!”
