The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3481 - 3476: Taking Control of the Nine Palaces Sea Region_1

What does it mean to reverse time and space?
Yang Chen, possessing a sharp insight into the workings of time and space, understood this concept intimately.
He, Yang Chen, was a master of spacetime techniques, his command over time and space being second to none.
He could accelerate time, decelerate it, and even bring it to a standstill; however, true reversal eluded him.
What then, is time reversal?
In essence, it's a phenomenon where millions of years could transpire within a specific space, yet outside, mere moments, a fleeting instant, would have passed, leaving the external timeline unchanged.
Even if countless eons, billions of years, were to unfold within, the passage of time in the outer world would remain as brief as a single breath.
This is the phenomenon known as the reversal of time and space. To distort the spacetime of a plane to such a degree, Yang Chen was certain that even reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm would not grant him such an ability.
The only plausible explanation is...
"Could this Gu Xuanfeng be the progenitor of the spacetime law?" Yang Chen pondered with astonishment.
Each creator of a fundamental law is a being of immense wisdom, uniquely capable of wielding that law to its fullest potential.
The understanding of those who follow, even his own, could never ascend to such a pinnacle.
Consider Yan Luo, for instance, who, by manipulating life and death, forged a Netherworld, a destination for souls from across all Ten Thousand Realms. Such profound wisdom! Could Yang Chen achieve such a feat upon reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm?
No, it was highly unlikely.
Furthermore, concerning this very spacetime, this reversal of time and space; spending millennia within while the outside world perceives but a single breath, could he accomplish such a feat?
The more Yang Chen contemplated this, the greater his desire grew to forge his own law. Should he possess a law uniquely his own, his strength would undoubtedly soar.
"It is difficult to fathom the realm this senior, Gu Xuanfeng, must have attained. From what I observe, this Bi Shuangxing is his creation. The spacetime pressure within Mo Xin Lake also emanates from him. Without an innate understanding of the spacetime law and mastery of spacetime techniques, one would struggle immensely under such pressure. This humble thatched cottage appears to be the very place of his final repose." Yang Chen mused, "Did he erect this tombstone for himself?"
Yang Chen could discern neither life nor death from the tombstone, sparking his curiosity.
Yet, such matters were secondary at this moment.
The crucial aspect was the environment itself.
To be able to set foot in a place where even cultivators of the Heavenly Extreme Realm could not, was akin to conjuring an exceptional cultivation environment out of thin air.
However, the present moment was clearly not conducive to cultivation.
Yang Chen cast his gaze upward; the sky represented the egress.
With a leap, he shattered the sky's restraint and re-entered the vortex.
After traversing it, Yang Chen found himself back at Mo Xin Lake.
"Huh? Yang Chen, were you also repelled?" Princess Wen Qi inquired, her brow furrowed in confusion, "I distinctly recall you entering the vortex."
Observing Princess Wen Qi's bewilderment and noting that the entirety of Mo Xin Lake remained precisely as it was the moment he'd entered, Yang Chen confirmed his suspicions.
Only a single breath of time had elapsed in the outside world.
Princess Wen Qi had evidently believed he had been ejected.
"It's a rather long tale, Senior Wen Qi. We can discuss it once we are clear of this place." Yang Chen replied.
Neither Princess Wen Qi nor Zhang Xuelian could move freely in this locale and ought not to linger. Yang Chen, guiding the two women, swiftly departed Mo Xin Lake.
Once they had exited, Princess Wen Qi, still perplexed, asked, "Yang Chen, what was it you intended to tell us earlier?"
Zhang Xuelian performed a quick divination, but the results only deepened her sense of incredulity.
Yang Chen offered a smile, stating, "In truth, I did enter the vortex, and what's more, I explored the world contained within it."
"How is that possible? You only just reappeared after a mere breath of time..." Princess Wen Qi was utterly bewildered.
Yang Chen understood that explaining such a phenomenon would be somewhat complex, but he felt no reluctance. He proceeded to recount his experience in full detail, omitting nothing.
"To conceive of such a thing, this vortex actually houses a space where one can spend countless years while mere moments pass in the outside world?" Princess Wen Qi exclaimed, awestruck, "Just who is this Gu Xuanfeng? I've never even heard of him."
Yang Chen simply shook his head, responding, "I too am curious about his identity, but it's clear now that Gu Xuanfeng is no ordinary individual."
At the very least, he was considerably more formidable than the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor.
If Yang Chen's assessment was accurate, the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor was likely a powerful figure from the Chuangdao Period. Then, how immensely powerful would be someone who far surpassed even that level?
Yang Chen declared, "I intend to claim this Nine Palaces Sea Region and utilize it as a World Treasure."
What mattered most was Mo Xin Lake's location within the Nine Palaces Sea Region. If he could claim the Nine Palaces Sea Region, reaching the depths of Mo Xin Lake would become a simple matter of his will.
"The mysteries held within this sea region and this lake are profound. Dominating this territory will grant you unparalleled advantages," Princess Wen Qi declared. "This palace wholeheartedly supports your endeavor."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Senior Wen Qi."
With a shared glance and a nod of understanding with Zhang Xuelian, they both turned their attention back to the sea region, poised to make their move.
Yang Chen made a gesture, immediately unleashing the power of his Five Elements Laws.
As the Five Elements Laws cascaded forth, they intertwined with the Nine Palaces Sea Region.
The Nine Palaces Sea Region presented a complex tapestry of environments, encompassing water, mountains, and diverse landforms across its islands. Suppressing and assimilating it solely with water-based powers would prove insufficient.
However, Yang Chen's Five Elements Laws were the epitome of completeness, suggesting that subduing the region should not pose a significant challenge.
Yet, Yang Chen gasped in shock as his Five Elements Laws were abruptly repelled the moment they extended.
The Nine Palaces Sea Region merely caused a ripple in his Five Elements Laws before quickly regaining its composure.
"This Nine Palaces Sea Region certainly possesses some peculiar qualities," Yang Chen remarked.
"Allow me to attempt it," Princess Wen Qi offered, waving her hand. A water bead materialized in her palm.
With the water bead's appearance, a torrent of water erupted, surging and instantaneously engulfing the entirety of the Nine Palaces Sea Region.
Princess Wen Qi endeavored to use the water bead to draw the Nine Palaces Sea Region towards her.
However, the outcome mirrored Yang Chen's. Shortly after, Princess Wen Qi abruptly drew back; the connection had faltered. Her water bead and its contents had merged with the Nine Palaces Sea Region, only to be absorbed by it.
"This!" Princess Wen Qi's expression turned to one of vexation; her water bead had noticeably diminished. Instead of absorbing the sea region, it had been consumed by it.
"This sea region is indeed peculiar, Yang Chen. I fear my assistance may prove limited in this situation," Princess Wen Qi sighed.
Undaunted, Yang Chen replied, "Senior Wen Qi, do not blame yourself. I possess alternative methods for dealing with this sea region!"
Given the present circumstances, conventional approaches were clearly ineffective against this sea region.
Therefore, at this juncture, the sole remaining recourse was to employ the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Dao Embryo.
