In the sky, countless meteorites fell down with long tail flames, causing the ground to burst into flames. The surviving creatures kept running and wailing.
The second world is collapsing everywhere, with mountains collapsing, earthquakes trembling, and tsunamis sweeping across.
The size of this planet is getting smaller and smaller, and it will soon reach the critical point of Bastu. At that time, the destruction of the second world will become irreversible. Even if the demons withdraw, the second world will collapse on its own.
Huang Yi, Dao Feng and other top experts looked solemn and were using various methods to resist the power of refining, but they still could not resist the joint efforts of the two major forces, the Demon Tribe and the Temple of the Barbarian God.
"No! We can't wait until the gods in heaven send down their power!"
"It's just a little bit close. As long as we wait two more days, we can make a comeback!"
"What a pity! What a pity!"
Some masters lamented in despair, their movements became flustered, and they could no longer maintain their composure.
"Don't panic, everyone, I can buy time!" At this moment, Huang Yi's steady voice resounded throughout the world.
With a flick of his hand, he took out the hourglass of time from the storage ring.
In an instant, the surroundings were enveloped in the orange light emitted by the hourglass, everyone became blurred, and the noisy voices became distant, with hazy echoes.
Huang Yi's hand spurted out surging divine power, all poured into the hourglass of time.
The light of the hourglass of time is getting brighter and brighter, like a light bulb that is about to run out of power is inputting stronger and stronger current, and the range of illumination is getting wider and wider.
Gradually, the sky turned orange, and the meteorites falling obliquely with their trailing flames became slower in the orange light, as if there was an invisible force hindering their fall.
The earth was dyed with a layer of orange light, the running people were getting slower and slower, and the huge waves in the ocean took longer and longer to fall...
The thunderous sounds in the sky, the howling wind, the roaring waves, the sounds of people wailing and running... all became hazy.
The whole world seems to have slowed down...
Finally, this orange-yellow light spread to the entire world and turned into a rippling light film barrier, tightly wrapping the second world.
In an instant, the whole world stopped completely, and everything came to a standstill.
The meteorite that fell in the sky was frozen in the sky, its long tail flame motionless.
The crowds of people running wildly and wailing on the ground all stopped in place, their expressions of horror frozen.
The huge waves rising in the ocean are like condensed crystals, and droplets of waves are suspended in mid-air.
Everything has stopped!
Huang Yi's figure holding the hourglass of time was also frozen, like a sculpture, suspended in the sky, with his eyelids about to blink.
The only thing in the whole world that is still moving is the hourglass of time in Huang Yi's hand. In the hourglass, a fine sand of time is slowly flowing down, not in a hurry, but maintaining an eternal rhythm.
…
Outside the second world, several demon kings and masters from the Temple of the Barbarian God all stared at the huge time barrier in surprise.
As soon as their refining power touched the time barrier, it immediately disappeared without a trace, as if all their strength hit the air and there was no place to receive any force.
What they faced was a planet that was completely isolated from their time, unable to attack or destroy.
Just like no matter how powerful you are today, you can't crush an ant yesterday.
"It's interesting." Xuan Wuxiong smiled with interest.
The next moment, he flicked his long sleeves, tore apart the space, teleported to the front of the time barrier, raised his huge fist, and slammed into it.
With his fist as the center, the space quickly collapsed, and a magnificent light bloomed from the fist, like a singularity at the creation of the universe.
He is an unparalleled strong man who can become a god. This simple punch shows the essence of martial arts. The fist contains the power to destroy the heaven and the earth, enough to break the void and crush everything!
However, after this punch hit the time barrier, there was not even a ripple.
"Don't waste your efforts. It is a time barrier, and the power of the God of Time is vaguely flowing. It cannot be broken with brute force." A solemn voice came from under the black robe of the King of Hell.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch helplessly?" Sodros, the leader of the Barbarian God, asked with a frown.
"This barrier cannot exist forever, it will eventually dissipate!" the Fallen King said solemnly.
…
At this time, all players in the second world have entered a special state.
They can no longer control their bodies and can only stand still in time in vain. There is always a fixed picture in front of them and there is no sound in their ears.
In this state, they can choose to go offline, but after going offline, their characters will still not disappear, but will still be frozen in place by time.
Countless viewers around the world who watched the live broadcast could only see a still picture, as if the live broadcast signal was suddenly interrupted.
Gradually, some players began to try to go online and enter the second world, but without exception, they all received the same system prompt.
The second world is in a special state and cannot be online.
But this is a good thing for the second world. Many online master players have been fighting for a long time without eating or drinking, and now they finally have the opportunity to go offline and rest.
Huang Yi's body was also in a still state. He wanted to wave his arms, run, and speak, but he couldn't do anything.
Time has imprisoned him here!
For a moment, he thought of himself in reality. He was in a vegetative state, unable to wave his arms, run, or speak. Only his consciousness was clear.
For a moment, he suddenly blurred the boundary between reality and illusion. Reality seemed to be illusion, and illusion seemed to be reality.
The essence of human beings is definitely not the body, but the inner spirit. Only the spirit represents the self. When the body loses its freedom and only the spirit can rely on, there will be no difference between reality and illusion, and it will be difficult to distinguish true from false.
In the vegetative world, there is no body, only his own spirit floating around. He has lost everything, but at the same time he has everything. He can imagine everything and has eternal time.
Huang Yi tried to stay in the present moment, to feel the passage of time, to feel what his consciousness was paying attention to at the moment, and how his thoughts were generated, just like a pure bystander.
Gradually, he entered a mysterious state. It seemed that he was not himself, but a spectator, but he could clearly feel his own existence.
The self is outside of oneself and within oneself. The spirit is separated from the body and merged with the body.
It is not that he has experienced time, but that time has experienced him.
"Offline!" At that crucial moment, he did something he hadn't done in a long time.
The next moment, his vision went dark and he exited the virtual world.
It felt like I had been waiting for a long time just for this moment.
He opened his eyes and sat up from the hospital bed.
He woke up from his vegetative state.
