Chapter 975: Time Prison

“Mm? So much is actually used up?”

After inspecting the arris light motherstone, Li Fuchen was surprised to find out that the usage of the time source essence was actually a few hundred times more.

“It seems like the consumption speed of the time source essence isn’t just related with the duration, it is also related to the cultivated martial art.”

Once the Splendor Sword Art broke through, it was only a city lord-level sword art. It was naturally inferior to the Primary Extreme Sword Art which was star domain-level once it broke through.

The quality difference between the two was too huge.

“But it doesn’t matter. This arris light motherstone is now useless to me.”

10,000 times time acceleration was entirely different concepts for city lord-level heaven lord and star domain-level heaven lord. Li Fuchen had a feeling he could only use the time acceleration for another two more days at most and the time source essence would be exhausted. There was no meaning to using it anymore.

Before the Primary Extreme Sword Art broke through, Li Fuchen had also attempted to upgrade the Hand of Calamity and space-time dao. It was unfortunate that it didn’t work.

The calamity power was too domineering and could destroy the space-time structure with ease, making it impossible to accelerate time. As for the space-time dao, it wasn’t possible to comprehend it with time acceleration.

…

Ancient Stone Star Domain, Ancient Stone City.

In this place, the Time Sand Heaven Lord was like a god. His governing power was 100 times more than regular universe city lords.

Deep inside the space-time of the Ancient Stone City, there was a prison. This prison was the notorious and dreadful Time Prison.

“This is the Time Prison?”

Li Fuchen walked out from the depths of space-time and stood in front of a simple and massive bronze gate. In front of the bronze gate, there was a large hourglass. But this large hourglass had a top part that didn’t run out. It seemed like it was being repeatedly replenished at every moment.

“Such brilliant time law!” Li Fuchen was silently nodding.

Without opening the bronze gate, Li Fuchen immediately passed through the gate in a single step.

With the calamity power, he could completely bypass the Time Prison’s law barrier. Unless the law barrier was superior to his calamity power, it wouldn’t be possible to stop him.

Of course, the moment Li Fuchen entered, the Time Sand Heaven Lord had already sensed him.

The Time Prison was separated into nine layers and each layer had countless smaller prisons.

These prisons weren’t technically prisons as they were scenes. Some were city and town scenes, some were village scenes, some were battlefield scenes, some were hazard land scenes…

The second layer was a village scene and Li Fuchen was strolling on one of the village paths while the villagers ignored him.

“Interesting.”

Li Fuchen realized that the villagers here had natural expressions. Only a few of them had numb, painful or demented expressions.

“Such agony, when can this end, all of you shall die.”

Suddenly, there was a demented villager who wielded a hatchet and started a massacre.

The ground was dyed with fresh blood while screams and calls for help were constantly echoing.

Soon enough, the village quietened down. Apart from some villagers who managed to run out of the village, the rest of the villagers were lying in pools of blood with wide-opened eyes.

“Haha, haha, Time Sand Heaven Lord, I, the Saint Fire Lord, will not yield!” The murderer was laughing hysterically towards the sky.

As the sun set, darkness enveloped the lands. Soon after, the night scattered and morning arrived. All the villagers reappeared without any injuries. The streets no longer had any blood or corpses. It felt as though everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.

“It is happening again, kill!” The murderer started another massacre.

“A time loop. This day will be repeated forever. So this is what’s happening.”

Seeing everything, Li Fuchen was enlightened.

The Time Prison formed its own world and the time law in this world was completely controlled by the Time Sand Heaven Lord. Once anyone was imprisoned, they could only suffer the same torment over and over, until they were either numb or lost their original memories.

“What business do you have here?”

It was unknown when a gray-robed man appeared beside Li Fuchen.

The gray robes were seemingly weaved with sand and there was sand scattering from the edges of the robes.

“I just wish to witness the mysteries of the Time Prison.” Li Fuchen turned around and smiled as he replied.

“Oh? Since you are interested, why don’t you visit the ninth layer? There is where the quintessence of the Time Prison lies.” The gray-robed man extended his hand with an inviting gesture.

“Please lead the way.” Li Fuchen nodded.

Hearing the response, the gray-robed man waved his hand and the village scene vanished. The duo was brought to a sand city filled with fog.

Turning around, Li Fuchen realized the gray-robed man had vanished.

“Trying to trap me in there?” Li Fuchen raised his brows.

Above the sand city, the gray-robed man waved his hand and a cup of exquisite wine appeared in his hand.

“How can my Time Prison be so easy to barge in? If it is, it would have been torn down already. So what if he is a star domain-level heaven lord, as long as he isn’t an elite star domain-level heaven lord, it wouldn’t be possible to leave the ninth layer.”

The Time Sand Heaven Lord was naturally able to see that Li Fuchen was a star domain-level heaven lord, otherwise, it wasn’t possible for him to enter the Time Prison so easily. However, the Time Sand Heaven Lord was certain that Li Fuchen wasn’t an elite star domain-level heaven lord. If he was an elite star domain-level heaven lord, it would be rather easy to enter the Time Prison without any detection.

The Time Sand Heaven Lord didn’t need to fear anyone that wasn’t an elite star domain-level heaven lord. Outside, he might not be able to deal with Li Fuchen, but once Li Fuchen entered the ninth layer, it was the same as entering the Time Sand Heaven Lord’s homeground. Without shedding a layer of skin, it wasn’t possible to leave.

As the Time Sand Heaven Lord was sipping the wine, he was observing Li Fuchen.

Li Fuchen was moving quickly in the sand city. But the sand city was huge and after walking for a long time, Li Fuchen wasn’t able to walk out of the sand city.

“Rather interesting. It is said that the Time Sand Heaven Lord’s time ability is produced from the sand dao. This sand city should be his life’s best work.”

If Li Fuchen wished to leave the ninth layer, he could leave anytime. Using his spirit soul power and calamity power, he believed he could neutralize anything. The only exception was if his opponent was significantly stronger and there was a huge gap in energy.

Li Fuchen didn’t visit the Time Prison for no reason. He wanted to research the time dao, therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

In Li Fuchen’s eyes, the Time Prison was filled with time mysteries and it would be a pity not to comprehend it.

Li Fuchen sat with crossed legs and permeated deep into the Time Prison’s structure with his spirit soul power. He was rapidly extracting the essence.

“This is the time truth?”

Li Fuchen might have comprehended the time source essence in the arris light motherstone, but it was too profound. When just comprehending, it was possible to upgrade a little, but it wasn’t possible to progress at a fast pace, it had to be slowly analyzed. It was like a child trying to understand the philosophy of life. Due to the age, the child would only be able to understand superficial knowledge and it wasn’t possible to obtain the essence.

The Time Prison was inferior to the time source essence, but it was suitable to the child-like Li Fuchen who just started on the time dao.

Streaks of time source power bypassed the Time Prison and descended into Li Fuchen’s body.

100 streaks, 200 streaks…

“He is actually comprehending the time dao in the Time Prison.” The Time Sand Heaven Lord had an awful expression.
