Chapter 526: Spacetime Reshaping, the Debate of Choice

Indeed, under the ultimate mystery of Hun Dun Power, the entire Hunyuan Valley has become the center of a spacetime turbulence. Battles that occurred in the past reappear in this moment, and scenes of the possible future emerge before the eyes; reality and illusion are intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish what is real and what is a phantom.

"Do you understand now?" Helian Chen's voice comes from all directions, sometimes aged, sometimes young, and sometimes even carrying the tone of Taijizi, "This is the true power of Hun Dun! It can break all rules and transcend all limits! In absolute chaos, the past, present, and future all lose their meaning!"

In this surreal environment, ordinary attacks have lost their effect. The enemy might be in front of you one second, and appear at some point in the past the next. Your attack might strike a residual image of the enemy, or perhaps an illusion that will only appear in the future.

"We can't go on like this!" Lin Xuan grips Xiao Yuan's hand tightly, feeling the powerful energy generated by the fusion of their powers, "We must find a way to stabilize spacetime, otherwise not only will we be unable to defeat him, but the entire Cultivation World could fall into catastrophe because of this spacetime chaos!"

Muerxiu endures his pain and begins to think deeply about the essence of the Void Path. The Void is not just space; it also involves the concept of time. Perhaps he can utilize his understanding of the Void to stabilize this chaotic spacetime.

"I understand!" Muerxiu's eyes suddenly brighten, "The Void is the foundation of all things, including time and space. If I can find the core node of this spacetime turbulence, I can re-stabilize the entire area!"

However, this idea is easy to say but extremely difficult to execute. Searching for a stable core in constantly changing spacetime is as difficult as finding a needle in a raging storm.

What is even more dire is that Helian Chen clearly will not give them much time. In the spacetime turbulence, he is like a fish in water, attacking from the past one moment and ambushing from the future the next; every strike is full of unpredictability.

"Taiji·Myriad Phenomena Return to One!"

Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan exert their power simultaneously, attempting to purify this chaotic spacetime with pure Taiji Power. The golden light spreads outward like a tide, and wherever it passes, the distortion of spacetime begins to slowly return to normal.

However, Helian Chen's Hun Dun Power also strikes back at the same time. The purple-black energy coils around the golden light like a venomous snake, attempting to distort it once again. The two forces clash fiercely, and the resulting shockwave makes the entire canyon tremble.

At this critical moment, Muerxiu finally finds the core node of the spacetime turbulence. It is a point that seems void yet actually exists, where all timelines converge and disperse.

"That's it!" Muerxiu points to the node, "If that point can be stabilized, the normal order of spacetime can be restored!"

The three of them immediately understand the plan. Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan continue to confront Helian Chen head-on to buy time for Muerxiu, while Muerxiu must take a huge risk to make contact with that core node.

"Watch out!" Xiao Yuan suddenly shouts.

Helian Chen suddenly appears from a time rift, the Hun Dun Power capable of destroying mountain peaks condensed in his hand, attacking Muerxiu directly. This strike comes too suddenly; Muerxiu has no time to dodge completely.

At the critical moment, Lin Xuan uses Instant Teleportation to appear in front of Muerxiu, using his own body to take the strike head-on. The golden Taiji True Intent collides violently with the Hun Dun Power; Lin Xuan spits out a mouthful of blood, but his gaze remains firm.

"Go!" Lin Xuan shouts loudly.

Muerxiu no longer hesitates, driving all his Void Power to rush toward the core node. However, the moment his hand touches the node, a terrifying force instantly surges into his body; it is the full pressure of the entire spacetime turbulence, enough to tear any cultivator to pieces instantly.

"Ah!" Muerxiu lets out a painful scream, but he does not let go. Faced with his master's sacrifice and his friend's trust, he has already made the determination to fight to the death.

"Void·Spacetime Anchoring!"

This is an unprecedented mystery for Muerxiu; he uses his own life as the price to forcibly stabilize the core of the entire spacetime turbulence. In an instant, the chaotic spacetime begins to slowly return to order, the images of the past and future gradually dissipate, and reality becomes clear once again.

Although Muerxiu successfully stabilizes the core of the spacetime turbulence, Helian Chen does not give up because of this. A flash of madness crosses his eyes; he slowly raises his hands, and the Hun Dun Power within his body begins to circulate in a brand-new way.

"Do you think it's over just like this?" Helian Chen's voice becomes ethereal and eerie, "Let me show you the true mystery of Hun Dun Power—Spacetime Reshaping!"

As soon as the words fall, the entire Hunyuan Valley undergoes a massive change once again. But this time, it is not a chaotic spacetime turbulence, but a more terrifying phenomenon—the entire space begins to reconstruct itself according to Helian Chen's will.

Mountains, rivers, and the sky—everything is rearranged and combined to form a twisted maze never seen before. In this eerie space, the laws of physics are completely overturned; the concepts of past, present, and future disappear entirely, replaced by countless parallel possibilities.

Lin Xuan and the others find themselves in a corridor made of countless mirrors, each mirror reflecting different scenes, all of which are various branches that could have appeared in their lives.

"What is this place?" Xiao Yuan looks around vigilantly, feeling an unprecedented sense of unease.

"This is the maze of possibilities," Helian Chen's voice comes from all directions, "Here, you will see with your own eyes all the possible life trajectories you could have had. Tell me, when you see the results that those different choices would bring, will you still insist that your current path is the correct one?"

Without waiting for the three to answer, the surrounding mirrors begin to glow, and countless phantoms, real enough to be suffocating, emerge.

Lin Xuan first sees a version of himself who never stepped onto the path of cultivation. In that world, he is just an ordinary mortal, running a teahouse in a small town. He has a gentle wife and a cute child, working from sunrise to sunset every day, living an ordinary but happy life.

This illusion is so real that Lin Xuan can even feel the sense of satisfaction brought by that simple life. There is no life-and-death struggle, no heavy responsibility, only the quiet, peaceful years as calm as water.

"Do you see?" Helian Chen's voice carries a seductive tone, "This is also a life you could have had. If you had never stepped onto the path of cultivation, how happy you would be now. And what meaning is there in your current pain, battles, and sacrifices?"

Lin Xuan stares at himself in the mirror, and a trace of wavering truly rises in his heart. That kind of simple happiness looks so real, so tempting.
