Pretending To Be A Boss

These people are already dead.

It's just that their bodies still retain the appearance of when they were alive.

Because the changes of death need time.

In this domain, everything is quiet, Tang Xian can't even hear the sounds from the outside world.

The voice of Zero can resonate in the sea of consciousness, so it can still be heard, but the noise of the crowd outside the domain, on the other side of the huge ice wall, and the battle between Tang Feiji and Lei Xiao, he can't perceive any of it.

The sense of smell is also completely blocked.

Because the volatilization of flavors also needs time. Only those tiny modules of information within the neurons are still moving at high speeds.

That is one's own consciousness.

"This is a terrifying domain. It's like a gigantic stomach, but much more troublesome than a stomach, mainly because it immobilizes people. Within a few minutes, the opponent slowly dies. Although I hate the words 'judgment' and 'trial,' this Shiling Beast is indeed the best judge, or assassin."

Tang Xian thought to himself.

This calamity-level boss creature can approach any being silently and unnoticed, and everything that comes close to it will be frozen, not limited to energy fluctuations or physical matter.

But he didn't believe this was time stopping.

He also didn't like being mocked by food.

So, just as the hope that humanity had so desperately kindled was about to be extinguished again—

Tang Xian twisted his neck.

The creaking sounds from his bones shouldn't have been transmitted, but just like the sounds he made, they were not controlled by this domain either.

The Shiling Beast, hearing this faint sound, suddenly turned around.

Its eyes, black as holes, contracted and expanded.

The crowd on the periphery also let out exclamations. The talented individuals who had fallen into despair once again all showed looks of astonishment.

Song Que was the same; he couldn't imagine how Tang Xian could accomplish such a thing.

Especially since those thunderbolts in the sky were still suspended within the domain.

If even the fury of the great dragon couldn't break through this domain, how did Tang Xian do it?

Tang Xian couldn't hear people's voices.

He could emit his own voice, but he was also unable to receive others' voices in this domain.

He calmly looked at Zero and said,
Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"Tang Feiji is stupid, and very reckless, but compared to you, he's rather modest. The battles in this world are not simply a contest of numbers; they also involve mutual restraint. Your power almost counters all creatures, but unfortunately for you, you are the one who is most restrained by me."

[Impossible... How could you possibly defeat time?] The Shiling Beast looked at Tang Xian incredulously.

"That is where you are arrogantly ignorant. Time is the horizontal axis of all rules, space is the vertical axis of all rules; in any world, any physical rule, even those supernatural rules that can't be understood, all require the support of time and space; they are the beginning of everything, the cradle of laws."

Tang Xian took a step forward and continued,

"At the same time, they are the most rigorous logic of this world. The time at any place is a related whole; it's fundamentally impossible for time to stop in just one place, otherwise the whole world would experience a catastrophic feedback."

"So your ability isn't stopping time at all; you just slow down the trajectories of all matter infinitely with the mysterious power in the Soul Crystal. You are just a mere beast, and when you're dead, you will be nothing more than garbage to be sorted -- an animal corpse. With what do you change time?"

The Shiling, shocked, watched Tang Xian approach step by step, having never encountered a creature that could move within the Time Stop Barrier!

Never!

But it had heard from the ancient apes of the Beast Court that there exist beings in this world that could resist the Time Stop Barrier.

Or rather... there once were.

[It's impossible, such creatures have been exterminated by the court! Impossible!]

That's the way of Zero.

It possessed an unbreakable domain, but once the domain was breached, its threat level was not even as great as that of a catastrophe-level creature.

Hearing the words of Zero in his sea of consciousness, Tang Xian started to feel a bit confused.

Meanwhile, the huge ice wall behind the humans suddenly dissipated, and the dragon's roar of the Coiled Dragon of the Ocean resounded through the earth once again.

The huge dragon body appeared in front of everyone again, and the ground on the other side had turned into a deep pit.

In the distance, people caught a glimpse of Lei Xiao's corpse.

[A few got away.]

Tang Feiji felt somewhat ashamed; to fight against blue-tier creatures and let them escape.

But Tang Xian didn't reprimand him; on the contrary, he thought Tang Feiji did quite well this time.

He hadn't harmed any humans, and managing to kill Lei Xiao was no easy feat, especially since they are creatures that become untouchable once they decide to flee.

"Good job. As a reward, I will let you taste a meat in this lifetime that may not be the tastiest but is definitely the rarest."

As he spoke, Tang Xian revealed a "let me take a look" expression, gazing at the disoriented Zero.
