From a distance, Lu Yu forcefully hurled the wooden board in his hand. The board shattered from his imnse strength mid-air, and the scattered wood fragnts beca even more dangerous.
The splintered wood, like a storm of blossoms, shot towards the black oil sli, heavily pounding its body, causing it to dent severely.
Soon, the dented area smoothed out as the wooden fragnts fell to the ground, causing no significant harm.
Rumble! The black oil sli rolled forward, and just as Lu Yu was about to charge, he noticed everyone behind him scattering. They intended to take advantage of his distraction of the black oil sli to enter the unnatural realm's node.
Lu Yu's heart sank, and he imdiately stopped his advance. If no one wanted to cooperate, why should he confront the monster alone?
With a burst of alarming power beneath his feet, his body quickly retreated, increasing the distance between him and the monster.
Although the others couldn't unleash spiritual power to fly, when their spiritual power exploded, their movent speed and strength increased significantly, and they weren't slow now.
But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't outpace Lu Yu.
Bang~ The ground beneath Lu Yu's feet exploded, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot, leaving afterimages in the air.
Rumble! The black oil sli, having lost its target, rotated its body and charged at the nearest Martial Cultivator.
Noticing humans all around, it rapidly changed form, spreading its body out swiftly.
It was as if it exploded; the black oil sli's body suddenly expanded to cover thousands of ters, engulfing everyone within.
Owen was almost pulled in, the edge of the oil already brushing his heels.
Boom! Suddenly, a section burst open, and Lu Yu leaped out from it.
He was carrying a White Jade Skull on his shoulder, gripping it tightly as he waved it around, forcing back the black oil. Lu Yu walked towards the safe zone with ease.
Owen, standing outside, looked at Lu Yu with so frustration. He had a way to deal with the undead. Why hadn't he ntioned it sooner, before everyone else got killed?
It wasn't Lu Yu's fault; it was the path the others had chosen.
Among those ensnared by the black oil sli, only Lu Yu erged alive.
The rest either transford into undead, oozing black oil, or were strenuously struggling inside.
Unless Lu Yu went back to save them, no one could help them.
As for why the White Jade Skull had such power to repel the undead, Lu Yu didn't know.
He didn't need to know the reason, as long as it worked.
Stowing away the White Jade Skull, Lu Yu glanced around. Only he and Owen were left, and he said, "Let's go."
Owen didn't urge Lu Yu to save people, as he wasn't familiar with the others anyway. Knowing them didn't an Owen had any ties with them.
They were just nas in Owen's intelligence notebook, now ready to be crossed off.
Lu Yu also felt fortunate for taking the White Jade Skull along; otherwise, it was uncertain he could have survived such dire circumstances.
After all, the black oil sli was immune to physical attacks.
In fact, looking at it another way, it was precisely because Lu Yu took the White Jade Skull that the black oil sli appeared.
Even if the black oil sli hadn't appeared, there were other dangers present; but with its appearance, those oddities receded or were devoured by it.
Now, the black oil sli was still digesting the other struggling individuals.
The place was devoid of other dangers, allowing Lu Yu and Owen to easily search for the nodes they needed.
"There's a node here," Owen called to Lu Yu, pointing to a makeup mirror in front of him.
Amidst the rubble, the intact makeup mirror stood out eerily.
Owen imdiately recognized the mirror as a node; passing through it would lead to another supernatural realm.
"This is... the Mirror Domain?" Lu Yu approached and, after observing, said unsurely.
Owen nodded, replying, "Yes, pass through this node, and inside is the Mirror Domain. The flow of ti in there is one day in nine months, a decent place for cultivation."
"The only danger is your own reflection, but once defeated, it'll disappear for a while, allowing peaceful cultivation during that ti."
"The downside is, once entered, it's hard to exit. No one has found a node leading from the Mirror Domain to other realms."
"Once you're inside, you remain until Destiny Pavilion draws you back."
"Do you want to go in?" Owen asked Lu Yu.
Lu Yu shook his head, saying, "No, nine months for a day sounds good, but I have other matters to attend to."
"Alright, if you're not going in, I will," Owen said.
Lu Yu looked at him in surprise, asking, "You're not looking for a realm with a faster ti acceleration?"
Owen shook his head, "No need, plus I have my own secrets."
With that, Owen walked towards the mirror, its surface parting like water to accommodate his body. Once fully inside, the surface returned to calm, reflecting only Lu Yu's image, appearing as an ordinary mirror.
Lu Yu turned to leave. As he did, the reflection of him in the mirror didn't turn but instead showed an eerie smile.
After searching for a while, Lu Yu was fortunate enough to find a node leading to the rendezvous point.
Zhou Hong had chosen the eting point in the Stairs Domain.
Lu Yu entered a staircase leading to a basent, and as he descended, the world around him changed dramatically. The stairs beneath him widened to several hundred miles, extending into the distance to reveal more stair-like continents, each several hundred miles wide with a drop over a hundred ters.
Standing on the first layer of the Stairs Domain, the ti flow here was five days in one. Descending further increased the ti acceleration with each layer.
The deepest point's flow was ten days in one.
Of course, reaching the deepest point wasn't easy, with countless dangers along the way.
One might also encounter "traps" with astonishing ti acceleration.
It's not always better with faster ti acceleration; once it exceeds a certain ratio, irreversible phenona of accelerated ti passing occur.
Simply put, staying too long in a place with accelerated ti might cause one's life span to continue dwindling even after returning to a normal ti flow pace.
Ti's accelerated passing differs from the world's quicker ti passage.
The forr was like Lu Yu's experience in the Ti House; he spent half an hour inside, but his life span reduced by about a year.
The world's quicker ti passage equates to staying in the Ruptured World for ten months and returning to the Divine Martial Realm to discover only a day has passed.
The two differ greatly, although both share sothing in common.
Both consu actual life span.
Spending ten months in the Ruptured World consus ten months of life, and doesn't equate to rely consuming one day because it matched a day in the Divine Martial Realm.
Life span consumption is determined by the individual's own lifeline, not by the world's ti passage.
A trap refers to the area of accelerated ti passing.
There, one's life span is wasted without benefit.
Not everyone could do as Lu Yu did.
Communicating with the outside world, utilizing ti acceleration to speed the refining of a Void Fire Sea, enhancing his prowess.
Using ti acceleration to absorb spiritual qi hundreds of tis faster, instantly absorbing and storing vast amounts of spiritual qi.
Others couldn't cultivate in a world of accelerated ti.
Cultivation requires running a cultivation technique; in a normal state, running a cultivation technique in accelerated ti translates to intermittent operation, disrupting proper cultivation.
Unless there's a cultivation technique specifically designed for ti acceleration, facilitating training under such conditions.
Not far from where Lu Yu walked, he spotted Zhou Hong's figure, already surrounded by three individuals.
"Lu Yu, over here!" Zhou Hong called out when he saw Lu Yu from afar.
