Chapter 172: In Full Swing

Boom!

The blustering explosion of energy released a colorful display of light .

The entire sky was instantly filled with multicolored light, glimmering like a massive rainbow .

Then, Su Chen suddenly discovered that the sky was spinning, as was the earth .

The whole world seemed to be in flux .

It was as if something was stretching, expanding, and dilating .

This was the mountain flattening and the void stretching . The scene felt surreal, and it was as if they were riding on the shoulders of a massive person who had been asleep for a long time .

Ye Qiming unleashed a punch towards a Ferocious Race youth’s face . The blow was about to land when he suddenly discovered that his reach was much too short . Even though they seemed close together, it was as if they were separated by a massive ocean……

Cloud Leopard closed in on the spear-wielding Temple Warrior . He was faster than his opponent, but he found that the more he ran, the greater the distance became between them . Even though his opponent was slower, the gap between them only continued to widen……

Tang Ming gestured . A water dragon coiled around his body, then howled as it charged forwards . However, it didn’t return to Tang Ming’s side; rather, it continued its charge, quickly pulling apart from him . Tang Ming had lost control over it……

The other people also felt the effects of the world being thrown topsy-turvy .

The mountain was agitated, and the void was trembling . The whole world around them rocked as if it were being shaken by violent waves of energy .

At this moment, the void had suddenly gained physical substance . It was being squeezed and was beginning to collapse and destabilize .

Shockingly, the castle at the very top also began to enlarge .

Upon seeing it massively expand like a beast swallowing them up, everyone was stunned .

It expanded so fast that it quickly took over most of the remaining space in the void, including the battle happening below it .

The people who were still fighting saw the research lab’s door suddenly open . The pitch-black entrance opened like a giant maw and swallowed them up .

“AHHH!” Everyone let out frightened, panicked yells .

However, they were completely powerless against the void’s massive expanding power . They slowly gravitated towards the seemingly bottomless hole .

“Qingluo!” Su Chen yelled .

Gu Qingluo spun through the air towards the black hole . She glanced at Su Chen as if she wanted to say something, but she wasn’t able to get the words out in time before she disappeared into the entrance .

Su Chen wanted to chase, but he was still holding Pi Yuanhong . He could only watch as Gu Qingluo disappeared, allowing himself to be slowly drawn in as well .

Suddenly, he heard Ji Ruoyu cry out from beside him, “Senior Brother Su, save me!”

Su Chen waved his hand . An air tentacle wrapped around Ji Ruoyu and pulled him next to Su Chen . The three of them fell into the dark hole simultaneously .

————————————————

Bang! Su Chen, Pi Yuanhong, and Ji Ruoyu slammed into a nearby wall .

“Ah!” Ji Ruoyu cradled his head as he cried out in pain .

He found that he had collided with a wall made of metal .

At this moment, he was in a long corridor .

Su Chen placed Pi Yuanhong on the ground and began to take in his surroundings . He stared at the ceiling above him and said, “It seems that we are inside the research lab now . But Ruoyu, can you tell me why we ended up here if we fell through the front door?”

Ji Ruoyu replied, “It should be due to multidimensional interference . ”

“Multidimensional interference?” Su Chen understood somewhat .

The concept of “multidimensional interference” was a void-dimension-related term . During the Arcana Kingdom’s reign, some Arcana Masters had proposed the concept of “dimensions”, splitting the perceivable world into three dimensions . Su Chen had heard of this theory before; two-dimensional objects were planar, while three-dimensional objects occupied physical space . Looking from three-dimensional space into two-dimensional space was like a person looking at a piece of paper . Everything on the piece of paper could be clearly seen . An ant, for instance, would need to crawl across the whole sheet of paper to get from one end to another, but to a human, all it took was a simple glance .

This was what Ji Ruoyu meant when he said “multidimensional interference” .

If it was because of multidimensional interference, Su Chen could understand why they had appeared in this particular corner of the research lab .

From a higher-dimensional viewpoint, the whole research lab was spread out and could be directly entered .

This was also the theory behind jumping in and out of ancient Arcana void spaces . Every void jump was actually due to temporarily bringing one’s body into a higher dimension and then going from that higher dimension back into a lower one .

However, this was different from Whitetower Teleportation, which relied on an alternative shortcut that isn’t worth mentioning here .

“Now what do we do?” Ji Ruoyu glanced at Su Chen .

“What else can we do?” Su Chen glanced at his surroundings again . “Since we’re already here, we’ll deal with things as they come up . Kill whoever needs to be killed, save whoever needs to be saved, and take whatever needs to be taken!”

“Okay!” Ji Ruoyu nodded seriously . “But we should move fast . I can sense that the void’s collapse is only accelerating . We might not have much more time left . ”

“How long do we have left?”

“We originally had thirty days left, but if the collapse continues to accelerate, these thirty days could go by in three hours . ”

“Dammit! What are we waiting for?” Su Chen grabbed Pi Yuanhong and began to walk in a certain direction .

As they walked down the hallway, they passed by room after room .

The rooms weren’t too large . Each room had a bed; based on the size of the beds, it seemed like they weren’t used by Arcana Race individuals but by humans .

Because humans were relatively intelligent, the Arcana Race preferred to use them as slaves .

They were probably in the slaves’ quarters right now .

It wasn’t possible for any valuable items to be here, so Su Chen just took a cursory glance before leaving .

Time was short . He couldn’t afford to slowly search every corner .

They walked through the long hallway and down a few more winding corridors when Su Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up .

They had come in front of a bright, spacious room . Through the window made of crystal in front of them, they could see all kinds of strange vials and jars containing unknown substances .

“It’s a research lab!” Su Chen said excitedly .

He charged in, holding Pi Yuanhong in his arms .

He was just about to enter when a Ferocious Race youth suddenly charged out of the research lab .

The Ferocious Race youth’s body was covered in blood . Evidently, he was pretty seriously wounded . However, he showed no fear upon running into Su Chen and the others as he pounced forwards .

Upon seeing that Ferocious Race youth charge at him, Su Chen threw Pi Yuanhong over to Ji Ruoyu, then charged forward to meet him .

The Ferocious Race youth howled as he charged forwards . Su Chen grabbed the Ferocious Race youth’s arm . The two briefly competed in strength, but Su Chen won . He pulled the Ferocious Race youth’s arm back, breaking it with a loud SNAP . Then, Su Chen launched a kick right at the Ferocious Race youth’s knee .

The Ferocious Race youth couldn’t even activate the inscriptions on his body after having fought for so long . Su Chen’s kick shattered his kneecap, causing him to instantly buckle to the ground .

Su Chen took advantage of the opportunity to cradle the Ferocious Race youth’s head in his arms before making a violent twisting motion .

With a crack, the Ferocious Race youth sagged to the ground .

“Beautifully done!” Ji Ruoyu yelled .

“The opponent was already badly wounded . That wasn’t much of a victory,” Su Chen casually replied as he glanced back at Ji Ruoyu .

Suddenly, his speed shot up as he kicked Ji Ruoyu, sending him flying .

Boom!

A ferocious flying axe narrowly whizzed by Ji Ruoyu’s body, slamming into the ground .
