Chapter 1722 The Real Insurmountable Barrier!

"What a brilliant move to turn reality into illusion!" A sharp glint flashed in Zu Long's eyes.

"That's quite an interesting move. In the primordial chaos, reality and illusion intertwined—it's remarkable!"

Kurosawa's eyes flickered for a moment, and he slowly uttered two words: "Demon."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I managed to latch onto a powerful figure; now I'm about to take off."

Moro's eyes were full of admiration.

When Ye Chuyun heard Moro suddenly say the word "take off," she almost lost her composure.

"You must have learned this from Cai Kun again, right?"

Upon hearing that he had been unfairly blamed again, Cai Kun quickly raised his hands in surrender: "I'm innocent! I didn't teach it."

"We're all modern people, it's just something we've been exposed to all the time."

Ye Chuyun smiled and said, "Alright, alright, it was just a joke."

"Next is the final challenge, the Triple Heaven."

Ye Chuyun took a moment to adjust her breathing and looked ahead.

We've arrived at the third heaven.

However, the scene they saw upon entering the Third Heaven left everyone stunned.

It is completely different from the terrifying natural disasters of the second heaven.

The third heaven was completely silent.

It could even be described as absolute silence.

There was no wind, no clouds, no light or darkness, and you couldn't even feel the movement of air; it was like being without oxygen.

If it weren't for the oxygen circulation system inside the spaceship, everyone outside would probably have suffocated to death.

After all, as long as you're human, you still need to breathe.

Outside the window was an endless gray void.

Some tiny, shimmering specks of light floated in the void, but there was nothing else.

The Narwhal spaceship hovered silently in this gray void.

"Is this the third heaven? It feels so quiet," Cai Kun asked, puzzled.

"It's eerily quiet." Su Muyu frowned slightly. Her [Spiritual Insight Perception] seemed to be suppressed here, and the information it returned was completely blank.

“Keep rising, break through here, and we should be able to see the aerial continent.” Ye Chuyun said with a relaxed expression.

After all, he knew what the Triple Heaven was all about, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Yes, full engine speed, vertical ascent." Ye Wen pushed the control stick.

The spaceship's engines roared, and its tail spewed out dazzling blue flames.

But the spaceship itself barely moved the next second.

However, upon closer inspection, the spaceship was not entirely still.

It was indeed moving, but the speed at which it moved was truly an eyesore.

Ye Wen's voice was filled with astonishment: "The spaceship's ascent speed is actually one millimeter per second?"

"How is this possible? Is something wrong?"

Ye Wen immediately conducted a check-up, but the results shocked him once again.

"Engine output is normal, thrust detection is normal, but actual displacement speed is abnormally slow, surrounding spatial parameters... time flow parameters..."

"This is simply astonishing! Time flows here almost a thousand times slower than outside!"

"What?!" The crowd gasped in disbelief.

One millimeter per second?

At this speed, it would take ten million seconds to ascend even ten thousand meters.

That was nearly 116 days, and that was only 10,000 meters.

Does anyone know the total distance between the three heavens?

"The flow of time has been slowed down by a thousand times, just as I thought." Ye Chuyun's eyes narrowed.

This is what makes the third heaven so terrifying.

All that exists here is this almost frozen cage of time.

Any intruder will be trapped in this desperate situation of crawling at a snail's pace.

Eventually, they either run out of supplies or lose their way and their will breaks down in the maddeningly slow passage of time.

This is the most insidious and difficult hurdle to overcome.

Everyone's face turned grim.

No matter how skilled you are, you seem to lose your edge in this situation.

Are we destined to be trapped and die in this quagmire of time?

Cai Kun subconsciously calculated: "One millimeter per second, six centimeters per minute, three meters per hour... If we want to pass through this space that may be tens or even hundreds of kilometers thick."

“We’ll grow old and die here, or worse, we’ll suffer a mental breakdown before our supplies run out.” Ye Wen’s expression grew even more grim.

Bai Hang tried to manipulate the surrounding elements, but found that the elements were extremely inert and responded to things with an outrageously slow speed, as if they too were stuck in a quagmire of time.

Xiong Yuntao swung his fist, but the force of the punch was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

The Star God's shadow behind Xu Meng conveyed a vague message, indicating that the time rules here also had a strong hindrance effect on the Star God's power.

Hongbao was unusually quiet, her little face filled with unease, clutching Ye Mingyu's sleeve tightly.

Ye Mingyu frowned deeply and, unusually, offered him words of comfort.

Zulong, Kurosawa, and Moro, the three most experienced beings, also had solemn expressions.

Zu Long shook his head: "The rules of time involve the fundamental principles of the universe. Even in my prime, it would not be easy to forcibly distort or accelerate the flow of time over such a large area. The cost would be immeasurable and not worth it."

Kurosawa nodded in agreement: "My darkness can devour energy and affect space, but it is difficult to directly interfere with time itself."

Moro, being the weakest, was speechless.

"Alliance Leader, do you have any ideas?" Tian Mengxue subconsciously looked at Ye Chuyun, and when she saw that his expression was normal, she felt relieved.

At this moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Ye Chuyun again.

He has already created too many miracles.

Is there still a way this time?

Ye Chuyun did not speak immediately. His gaze swept across the gray void outside the window, and memories of his past life flashed through his mind.

In my previous life, after discovering the existence of the Sky Continent, all the top powers in the Blue Star Region did indeed launch an attack on these three heavens.

The first level, the Heavenly Barrier, tests pure strength. Although it is difficult, as long as one's strength or destructive power reaches the Heavenly level or above, there is always hope of passing it if one finds a way.

With the help of their accumulated powerful individuals and special treasures, most major forces can break through to the next level after paying a certain price.

The second level, the "Calamity Layer," tests one's ability to cope with extreme environments and survive.

It requires robust protective measures, or special capabilities like Kurosawa's to create secure paths.

This stage eliminated most small and medium-sized forces and lone wolves, but top forces and strong individuals with large flying vehicles, powerful protective formations, or special talents were able to overcome it with difficulty.

Only this third heaven, the "Gap of Time," became a true insurmountable barrier.

Time slows down a thousandfold, rendering any conventional methods meaningless here.

It doesn't test brute force or skill; it tests whether one possesses unconventional methods that transcend the influence of time and space.

In order to overcome this hurdle, the major super powers of the Blue Star Region racked their brains and even put aside their past grievances to join forces.

Finally, several feasible approaches were indeed found.
