While Yu Chen succeeded to will space into the dark voidless expanse of his forbidden zone, Yu Chen spat out blood, his face quickly draining of color.
Space was vast and almost incomprehensible, and Yu Chen was casually willing it into existence where it didn't exist.
Obviously the price to be paid was huge. It felt as if his internal organs were squeezed, pulled and compressed.
It had almost crippled him but he persisted.
The space within the Voidless zone kept expanding, there was actually no end in sight to the amount of space the voidless zone could take.
It was as if all of the expansion was taken into somewhere else... Yu Chen did not know, and he did not want to even know...
Yu Chen immediately commanded the Voidless zone to vanish and it did...
At that moment, countless white mist pooled from the already broken hollow and it surrounded Yu Chen.
He did not have much time to dodge or make a plan to escape the mist and he experienced another horrifying death...
...
Yu Chen waited for a moment...
This time, Yu Chen remembered his previous ordeal with the mist. If it had been before, he would have simply forgotten... It would have started with him fantasizing about the moon fairy.
However he remembered.
I died?
Wait, time repeated? Repetition of time...
How long have I been repeated. Hold on, that mist?
Yu Chen immediately commanded the Voidless zone to manifest and his eyes widened in horror seeing the infinite number of this white mist. He must have really absorbed a lot of mists, plus he had also expanded the space within this expanse of nothingness.
So now, it could be said that this white mist was another form of power that he had acquired, but... how can he use it?
It is true that for now he was unable to cultivate another power, but with something like the voidless zone that can encompass any power, it was really a boon!
Yu Chen could not stop thanking that Voidwalker boss he had killed...
Thinking of how time had repeated him, he appeared within the Voidless zone... and just like the erasing force of the voidless zone had accepted him, the white mist also accepted him.
Yu Chen was ecstatic.
He submerged a finger into the sea of time mist, instead of erasing him it immediately swirled endlessly around his fingers...
Yu Chen was surprised.
This was indeed gaseous?
He could not feel anything at all except for droplets of water...
Is there actually a river of time somewhere?
Suddenly the endless time mist transformed into a strange river...
'Oh, the river of—'
Yu Chen's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
"Shit,"
He was unable to dodge. He saw the waves of the river of time crash unto him and he immediately spat out blood in horror...
Yu Chen retreated.
"How can the time mist still attack him?"
Not until Yu Chen realized.
They could only attack him when he used the power of time. But did I use the power of time?
Yu Chen did not know how he had actually used the river of time.
Yu Chen immediately looked out of the voidless zone only for him to see time mist forming a wall around him...
They started pressing against the voidless zone instantly causing it to shrink rapidly...
Yu Chen immediately commanded the white mist in his forbidden zone and it formed a streak of light that passed through the wall of mist and appeared beneath the broken hollow... The endless mist seem to have vanished into thin air...
However, he was pursued by the wall of mist until he ended up dying a painful death.
...
Yu Chen waited for a moment....
His brains started functioning, his mind calculative. The mists were out for him because he had used the power of time to an extent that caused the surrounding rivers to boil...
They finally found a threat that needed to be eliminated.
Yu Chen had been lucky enough to enter the boundary at that critical moment because, if he had actually died, time would not be repeated and it would be for real this time...
Yu Chen moved at an impressive speed, but time was much faster...
Yu Chen entered the boundary, he looked up at the hollow and a massive crack spread through it...
A split second later, a river of mist started descending bringing with it dread which loomed upon Yu Chen.
Yu Chen immediately brought out the voidless zone and space started expanding...
A powerful suction started to take in the time mist into the expanse of the voidless zone...
Yu Chen did not know how long he would last, the only way to break out of it was to absorb the entire time mist into his voidless zone...
But the voidless zone seem almost endless.
In the end, his voidless zone absorbed what it could and the rest killed Yu Chen.
...
Yu Chen waited for a moment...
Each time Yu Chen waits for that moment, it seem as if he had been reinvigorated...
He felt as if the power to continue was there. Although time keeps on repeating at every death, Yu Chen believed that even if he did not die, as long as he steps into the boundary, he would be repeated again and was due to the whirlpool of time mist that circulated the heavenless sky...
This same whirlpool of time mist attacks Yu Chen whenever he reappears and that's because, Yu Chen was capable of eviscerating it through the voidless zone... No matter how oppressive it is, in the end all of the mist will return to Yu Chen's Voidless zone.
Yu Chen's eyes flashed and he vanished into the boundary...
The heavens seem to break and the hollow shattered.
An endless pool of time mist started to descend, but they were redirected into the voidless zone's expanse...
He would soon break off the power that makes him repeat in time...
He still died again...
...
Yu Chen waited for a moment...
He had actually lost count of how many times he had died and how many times, time repeated...
It was becoming a problem if he is unable to break off the hold of time.
