Chapter 1512: Chapter 1512: Out of the Tiger’s Den, Into the Dragon’s Lair

At this moment, Yang Yan darted thousands of miles, racing forward, and was slowly approaching the withered World Tree.

However, although he had escaped those terrifying entities, Yang Yan found himself entangled in another big problem.

It seemed this journey was destined not to be peaceful.

While secretly sighing, Yang Yan also adjusted his mindset immediately.

Clutching the World-Ending Demon Spear tightly in his hand, he secretly channeled a surge of Immortal Power, ready to strike at any moment.

In front of Yang Yan was an ocean formed by the intertwining of Void currents and time fragments.

These two rules were the most fundamental in the world.

Only rules such as causality, life and death, and chaos could be mentioned alongside them.

Although Yang Yan had comprehended Space, Gravity, and the newly grasped Slaughter, none were deeply understood.

Or in other words, he could not yet touch the most essential levels.

Now, facing the Sea of Space-Time left by the Immortals’ battle, Yang Yan was in the greatest dilemma of his life.

Standing before it, Yang Yan felt an insurmountable sensation.

He couldn’t even muster the thought of trying.

Yang Yan murmured helplessly, "Could this be fate going against my will, intentionally making things difficult for me, Yang Yan? Otherwise, how could I have just left the tiger’s den, only to enter the dragon’s lair?"

Yang Yan sighed for quite a while, even wanting to turn back several times, but in the end, he forcibly suppressed this desire.

Although somewhat reluctant, when he transformed one of the Three Thousand Incarnations, using the Mirror Image Law to create an illusion to test, he abandoned this idea entirely.

Before the illusion even approached the Sea of Space-Time, a surge of Power of Time spiraled towards him.

Luckily, Yang Yan promptly severed the connection as it attracted the escaping surge.

Otherwise, even if he wasn’t torn apart by the Sea of Space-Time, it wouldn’t have been easy.

Because he could clearly feel, that illusion was swept away by a sudden beam from the Sea of Space-Time, instantly turning to ashes, not a trace remaining.

Yang Yan looked at the endless Sea of Space-Time, keeping his distance.

The earlier stimulation caused the Sea of Space-Time to churn, with lightning-like beams occasionally sweeping across everything nearby.

After waiting a while, Yang Yan saw floating islands in the Sea of Space-Time.

Upon closer inspection, he realized with shock that they were actually countless massive skeletons emitting a white jade luster.

Their intact forms showed that these super powerhouses, though fallen, had withstood the pull of time and Space Law, ultimately preserved as skeletons.

This further deterred Yang Yan from acting recklessly.

Gradually, Yang Yan even saw some True Dragon skeletons and Immortal Phoenix bodies.

Tempered by time and space, they radiated an even more crystalline brilliance.

Just as Yang Yan found himself in a dilemma, feeling somewhat desperate, a small boat suddenly appeared in the Sea of Space-Time.

Yang Yan’s heart skipped a beat, raising the hairs on his body.

This was the Sea of Space-Time!

Ancient Four Spirits had perished here, yet this small boat remained intact, steadily navigating the tumultuous waves, rapidly approaching Yang Yan.

Frightened, Yang Yan instinctively wanted to withdraw, seeking to remain as distant as possible.

If any movement occurred, he could escape at the earliest opportunity.

However, in the next moment, he was shocked to find a barrier had appeared behind him without him knowing.

This barrier not only blocked all forces but even rendered the Space Law entirely ineffective.

Nevertheless, Yang Yan’s resolute spirit calmed him amid this crisis.

Gritting his teeth, a determined gleam flickered in Yang Yan’s eyes.

With a swift movement, the World-Ending Demon Spear and Bloodthirsty Mad Saber appeared simultaneously, each radiating their own brilliance.

Red and golden, the two powers intertwined, converging into one.

With a shout, Yang Yan hurled the World-Ending Demon Spear, simultaneously launching the Demon-Breaking Six Techniques at the same spot on the barrier.

BOOM——

Amidst a violent explosion, Yang Yan was propelled toward the Sea of Space-Time by a fearsome recoil force.

His expression altering, Yang Yan quickly invoked the Gravity Law to stabilize himself.

Yet the barrier remained motionless.

As for the World-Ending Demon Spear, it fell powerlessly to the ground nearby, its body entwined in a golden glow, faintly roaring in protest.

Yang Yan’s face darkened, grabbing the World-Ending Demon Spear back mid-air, then retrieving it.

Nevertheless, he did not give up.

He unleashed Meteor Fall, Military Technique—Life Destruction, and Heaven-Breaking Finger, relentlessly bombarding the barrier.

But after the ripples dissipated, apart from layers of ripples like an eggshell, the barrier remained intact.

Watching the small boat drawing closer, Yang Yan grew anxious.

He directly employed the God Explosion Technique, Spirit-Slaying Halberd among other Spiritual Attack Techniques, against the barrier.

Unfortunately, after continuous attacks Yang Yan was left panting, and that barrier still showed not the slightest damage.

However, for some reason, despite Yang Yan’s prolonged assault, the small boat had arrived before him without making a sound.

Yang Yan frowned, boldly glancing towards the small boat.

On the small boat, there was no one, not a paddle nor an oar to be seen...

Yang Yan only felt a cold chill down his back.

Had the small boat come by itself?

Or was someone on the other side or within the Sea of Space-Time controlling this little boat?

Yang Yan bit his silver teeth forcefully, as the World-Ending Demon Spear reappeared in his hand, stabbing fiercely behind him.

Unexpectedly, a voice like a refreshing breeze came from behind: "Strange, strange! You youngling are quite interesting, having inherited power from that Nine Heavens fellow, and yet wielding such a massive weapon as the World-Ending Demon Spear."

Startled, Yang Yan turned around, following the direction from which the voice came.

What he saw made Yang Yan feel somewhat terrified.

For he found that the Bloodthirsty Mad Saber and World-Ending Demon Spear, which were clearly in his hands moments ago, had somehow fallen into the other’s possession.

Before him stood an elderly man, withered and white-haired, exuding no hint of power, and if not seen standing there, one could hardly sense his presence.

Yang Yan felt a surge of helplessness.

This super powerhouse before him simply wasn’t someone he could challenge.

Why had he encountered such bizarre events upon coming to this Ancient Battlefield?

First a possible sentient Heaven-moving Race, and now this terrifying old man.

Unexpectedly, as Yang Yan lamented, the old man gave him a chilling smile: "Boy, if you continue belittling me like this, do you believe I’ll throw you into the Sea of Space-Time, so you can experience gradual aging!"

Yang Yan was momentarily stunned, still internally criticizing: This old ghost dares threaten me, once I grow stronger in the future, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be threatened too.
