What shocked her even more in her heart was the irregular, faintly glowing fragments scattered beside the finger bones of the petrified skeleton. These fragments were as thin as cicada wings, appearing semi-transparent, yet subtly contained a power similar to the Void Law but more complex and high-level — they were fragments of the Time Law!

They seemed to be the power mastered by the skeleton in its lifetime, or perhaps were scattered because of the impact of that special space rift, becoming unowned objects.

Acquiring these Time Law Fragments posed tremendous risks:

1. The space rift was extremely dangerous, emanating an annihilating aura that made one’s heart palpitate.

2. The location of the fragments was close to the massive petrified skeleton, where the surrounding martial spirit’s Evil Qi and temporal chaos had reached a peak.

3. The fragments themselves also contained terrifying Power of Time, and rashly touching them might cause instant accelerated aging or revert one to a weaker state.

Yet the opportunity was equally enticing: although she had mastered the Power of Space-Time, she hadn’t yet comprehended the Power of the Time Law. If she could comprehend it, her Power of Space-Time would greatly leap.

Her Void Law would undergo an unimaginable qualitative change! How marvelous would the conversion of the virtual and real be, if augmented by the Power of Time?

Si Lingle took a deep breath, her eyes swirling with a silver-gray galaxy, her gaze calm yet sharp. She didn’t act immediately but instead sat cross-legged at a relatively safe distance.

What she needed to do was utilize her mastery of the Power of Space-Time and the exquisite control of the Space Law to carefully "listen" to the "breathing" of that space rift and analyze the "veins" of the chaotic Power of Time surrounding the fragments.

Virtual and real, space and time... The core area of "Sunken Soldier Abyss" would become an even greater stage for her next level of advancement, or it could be an even more deadly abyss.

Si Lingle focused and held her breath, silver light swirling in her sea of consciousness like a suspended galaxy. She maximized her Space Perception, her silver-gray pupils reflecting the intertwined threads of three deadly threats:

The time debris at the edge of the pitch-black rift flickered like a snake’s tongue, and each spatial tremor spread waves strong enough to tear a Golden Immortal’s body;

The hollow eye sockets of the skeleton were condensed with martial spirit’s Evil Qi that hadn’t dissipated in a million years, getting closer than three feet would trigger a mental tsunami;

The surface of the semi-transparent fragments flowed with chaotic time streams, some areas accelerated to the point of visible particle vibrations, while others were as stagnant as eternal ice.

Her fingertips quietly formed seals, the Void Law transforming into a three-layered exquisite layout:

Her right palm pressed the ground virtually, and the space within ten zhang instantly twisted and folded into a honeycomb structure. Countless prism-like spatial faults refracted and dispersed the energy fluctuations emitted by the Time Fragments, trapping the violent time turbulence temporarily within the maze, bouncing back and forth.

The cost: her immortal power exhausted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin on her fingertips cracked with blood stains due to space overload.

A silver lotus shadow blossomed at the center of her forehead, and the pure space origin power transformed into fine light threads, entwining the fragments like a spider’s web. Each touch with the Time Fragments sparked piercing space-time sparks, but the time flow on the fragments’ surface began to slow and align.

Her left palm channeled the resentful Evil Qi of the surrounding weapon remnants, condensing it into a dark red barrier above the petrified skeleton. When the space rift suddenly erupted with an annihilating beam, the Evil Qi barrier vaporized instantly, yet bought a crucial half-instant—enough for Si Lingle to execute a fatal displacement!

At the moment the largest Time Fragment was pulled into the air by the silver thread, an unexpected change occurred:

The space rift suddenly expanded, and from the center of darkness burst three twisted time-annihilation lightning bolts;

The petrified skeleton’s finger joints suddenly exploded, and bone spikes infused with substantive Evil Qi shot directly towards her back;

The core of the Time Fragments erupted into a time reversal vortex, instantly regressing Si Lingle’s right arm to the frail state of her girlhood!

"Virtual and Real Reverse Wheel!" she shouted hoarsely, her surrounding space collapsing fiercely.

The time-annihilation lightning was drawn into pre-arranged spatial folds, colliding with the energy emanating from the Time Fragments, annihilating each other. The bone spikes pierced the spatial afterimage she left behind, while her real body flashed to the hollow of the skeleton’s shoulder blades.

As the Power of Retrospection touched her heart, the Primordial Spirit Silver Lotus suddenly bloomed— the Void Law forcibly passed the temporal paradox to the ground beneath her feet, instantly weathering the rock layer within three zhang into dust!

When the smoke and dust cleared, Si Lingle was half-kneeling amidst the ruins swirling with time dust.

Her left hand tightly grasped three pieces of smooth, jade-like semi-transparent fragments, silver-gray blood dripping from her tiger’s mouth, only to flow back into the wound upon touching the fragments.

Under the tattered robe, a newly grown silver time mark could be vaguely seen on her back, flickering like a star trail.
