110: Chapter 110 The Eye of the Storm, the Core of Time and Space
Those eyes were too large.
So large that, in front of them, the seagull was like a tiny firefly.
It emerged quietly from that deep darkness, carrying a terrifying pressure capable of freezing the soul.
The moment he was watched by those eyes, Wang Pingan felt his heart stop beating, and his blood seemed to freeze into ice shards at that very instant.
Fear!
The purest, most extreme fear, originating from the instinct of life!
"What... what is that thing?" Mentor Murphy's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme fear; he gripped his seat tightly, his body shaking like a sieve.
"I don't know... but it's definitely nothing good!" Wang Pingan's scalp went numb.
Without a second thought, he immediately severed the energy connection with the wreckage of the mothership, controlled the seagull, and turned to run!
He didn't even bother with the engine preheating and instantly cranked the power to the maximum!
Boom!
A long blue tail flame erupted from the rear of the seagull, and like a crazed bull, it fled desperately along the path it had come from!
However, it was too late.
The moment they turned around, those giant blood-colored eyes moved.
A terrifying giant claw, also unimaginably huge, covered in jagged bone spurs and eerie black carapaces, and resembling that of an arthropod, suddenly thrust out from that dark opening!
Its speed was unimaginably fast!
Almost the instant it appeared, it had already crossed several kilometers and swiped viciously at the seagull, which was fleeing for its life!
Wherever that giant claw passed, space itself produced visible distortions and wrinkles!
"It's over!"
Watching that terrifying giant claw, which blocked out the sky and rapidly enlarged in his field of vision, a look of desperate ashen gray appeared on Mentor Murphy's face.
In front of such a terrifying creature, comparable to a god, their meager cultivation was not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth!
A flash of despair also crossed Wang Pingan's eyes.
But his strong desire to survive still made him make a final struggle at the last moment!
Phantom Gods Eye!
He burned his spirit, which had only just recovered a little bit, without reservation once again!
In his pitch-black eyes, an eerie purple light flashed frantically!
He tried to use an illusion to interfere with the perception of that terrifying giant beast!
However, it was useless.
His powerful illusion, capable of making thousands of Subspace Storm stalkers kill each other, fell upon that terrifying existence like a gentle breeze, not even causing its movements to pause for a single instant.
The level of their spirit was simply not in the same dimension!
Watching as that giant claw was about to crush the seagull to pieces, like pinching a fly to death.
At this critical moment!
A sudden change occurred!
Rumble—!
The entire Subspace Storm erupted in an unprecedented, violent riot without any warning!
An energy tide, more violent and terrifying than any before, erupted from the depths of the storm like a breached cosmic flood!
That energy tide slammed directly into the terrifying giant claw that was reaching for the seagull!
"Roar—!"
A terrifying roar, filled with pain and anger, capable of shattering stars, came from that dark opening!
Under the impact of that violent energy tide, that indestructible giant claw was actually forced back!
And the seagull was like a leaf, helpless in the raging waves.
It was rolled up and wrapped by that terrifying energy tide, and flung fiercely toward an unknown direction!
...
He did not know how much time had passed.
When Wang Pingan regained consciousness, he felt as if his body had fallen apart; there wasn't a single place on him that didn't hurt.
He struggled to open his eyes and found that he was still sitting in the cockpit.
The interior of the spaceship was a mess.
Various circuits were broken or sparking.
The cockpit porthole was also covered in spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Mentor? Mentor? Are you still alive?" Wang Pingan called out to Murphy in his consciousness.
"Cough, cough... still... still not dead yet..." Mentor Murphy's weak voice came from the co-pilot seat.
He looked even more miserable than Wang Pingan; a large gash had been knocked into his forehead, and his face was covered in blood.
"Where... where are we?" Wang Pingan struggled and looked out the window.
Then he was completely stunned by the scene before him.
Outside the window, it was no longer that dark red filled with violent energy and destructive aura.
Instead, it was a... absolute, pure, tranquil darkness.
In the center of this darkness, an irregular crystal the size of a fist, presenting a dreamy, seven-colored glazed color throughout, was floating quietly.
Inside it, it seemed as if countless stars were being born, dying, and circulating.
An aura that transcended time and space, as if it did not belong to this dimension, profound and supreme, radiated from that crystal, sheltering this small area into an absolutely safe "pure land."
Eye of the Storm!
core of spacetime!
They had actually... been blessed by misfortune and been flung directly to the final destination of this operation by that sudden energy tide!
"We... we hit the jackpot..."
Mentor Murphy looked at that legendary cosmic artifact, and in his turbid old eyes, an incomparable, fanatical light erupted.
He even forgot the pain in his body, struggling to stand up from his seat, wanting to pounce toward that "core of spacetime."
"Mentor, don't move!" Wang Pingan quickly stopped him.
His [Eye of Truth], the moment it saw that "core of spacetime," sent out a series of ear-piercing, highest-level danger warnings!
Around that seemingly beautiful crystal, he "saw" countless, invisible to the naked eye, black... spacetime cracks, billions of times thinner than a hair!
Those cracks were like the sharpest threads, densely covering the entire "Eye of the Storm."
Let alone a person, even a single photon, if it accidentally broke in, would be instantly decomposed into nothingness by that terrifying, twisted power of spacetime!
