Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1501 - 721: Comprehending Time

"Nameless and Boundless!"

Following their tactical union, Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master launched a synchronized strike, aiming directly at the colossal avian creature trailing them.

Boom!!

A shroud of gray radiance expanded, colliding with the crimson giant bird's wings. The impact caused the beast's overwhelming aura to shudder violently, forcing its flight to a momentary standstill.

"Screech!!!"

The crimson giant bird let out a piercing, indignant cry.

It erupted into a fierce conflagration, the intense flames incinerating the gray mist produced by Nanhua Divine Monarch. Once cleared, it resumed its relentless chase of the two cultivators.

Previously, Bei Yu Dominion Master had been fleeing from this massive bird alone; while he wasn't in mortal peril, he had struggled to create distance and appeared quite disheveled. Now, bolstered by Nanhua Divine Monarch’s intervention, the duo operated with significantly more poise.

Even though their repeated attempts to fully lose the crimson giant bird failed, their combined strength allowed them to intercept its path with ease, curbing its momentum and preventing a frantic retreat.

"Brother Bei Yu, this avian monster is quite a nuisance. I've noted it possesses Void Lineage techniques, which remain effective even within this chaotic time-space. Every time we gain some ground, it manages to bridge the gap instantly."

Nanhua Divine Monarch sent a divine sense transmission to Bei Yu Dominion Master.

Shaking his head, Bei Yu Dominion Master replied, "It is indeed a burden. To truly rid ourselves of it, I suspect we either need to locate more allies or find refuge in unique terrain."

Nanhua responded, "The time-space within this Time Illusion Realm is incredibly disordered. We have circled this area several times, yet we haven't crossed paths with any other companions. It seems everyone has been scattered."

"Hmm, let us pivot and search for any distinctive geographical features."

Bei Yu Dominion Master proposed.

"Agreed."

Nanhua Divine Monarch gave his assent, and the pair immediately veered off in a new direction.

Within a shattered fragment of the Time Illusion Realm, Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master continued to be stalked by the formidable giant bird, a beast whose power rivaled the Double Vein Perfection level. They utilized various techniques, yet the creature was inseparable. Despite their maneuvers, they found no helpful terrain or friendly Divine Monarchs, leaving them with no choice but to lead the beast in endless loops.

This stalemate persisted for an indeterminate period until the distant ground suddenly fractured, and a radiant Light of Time surged forth.

"It is appearing!"

At this sight, the eyes of both Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master shimmered.

Having exhausted all other options to evade the beast in this sector, their final gamble was to exploit the temporal instability of the Time Illusion Realm.

Contact with this erratic Light of Time would result in being shifted to a different time-space. While such a random transition held inherent risks, remaining in this corner of the realm while being hounded by the giant bird was yielding no progress.

With the end of the Universe looming, they could not afford to waste a single second.

"Brother Nanhua."

Bei Yu Dominion Master signaled to Nanhua Divine Monarch; the two shared a seamless understanding. In a flash, they each manifested a strand of divine power, interlacing them before diving together into the brilliant temporal glow.

Even with their divine powers bound, the turbulent forces of time-space could still tear them apart and deposit them in separate dimensions. Nevertheless, Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master felt compelled to try. Within the Time Illusion Realm, finding a trustworthy partner was a rare and precious thing.

However,

The Light of Time they entered this time differed from their previous experiences.

While the chaotic temporal energy enveloped them, it did not immediately teleport them to another region. Instead of a flowing current, the Light of Time shifted into a swirling vortex, spinning in place for a brief moment.

"Hiss!"

During this momentary delay, the crimson giant bird also plunged into the Light of Time. It continued its dogged pursuit of Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master, letting out a furious howl.

Seeing the beast follow them, the faces of Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master turned pale. Usually, the Light of Time triggers an instant translocation, but this anomaly allowed the crimson giant bird to close the distance.

"Heavenless and Earthless! Lawless and Reverenceless!"

"Controlling Void to Heaven, Mystical Art True Understanding!"

Constrained within the Light of Time, the two had no choice but to stand their ground. They unleashed the full extent of their power, striking at the crimson giant bird from both flanks.

Buzz!!!

The giant bird gave a long, shrill cry and beat its wings with ferocity. It discharged a spray of golden-red radiance that crashed into Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master, meeting their techniques head-on.

Initially, the two could manage the fight while moving. But now, trapped in the narrow confines of the temporal vortex with no room for retreat, they were forced into a direct clash with the beast, immediately suffering the consequences.

Bang.

With a single impact, the combined offensive of Nanhua Divine Monarch and Bei Yu Dominion Master was shattered. Both were thrown back, their bodies trembling under the force of the blow.

Ultimately, the crimson giant bird’s power was on par with the Double Vein Perfection. While they could hold their own in a mobile skirmish, a frontal collision favored the stronger beast. In such a restricted space, raw power and technique became the only things that mattered.
