"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Puff puff!"
As the dive deepened, the jetting frequency of the chaotic water flow increased.
Later, the water and fire lotus flowers within a hundred miles were shattered as soon as they bloomed, like bubbles in water that had no time to regenerate, before the next stream of water followed its trajectory and pierced towards him.
"Block them!" Chen Xuan roared ferociously, his six swords wielding in a dense, impenetrable manner, maintaining a considerable descent speed even under such immense pressure.
Seeing his crazy enthusiasm, Xiao Ta nodded secretly: "This kid has a firm Dao heart and sharp swordsmanship. The ultimate sword technique is not yet systematic, but he can weave a defensive sword formation with scattered moves. His talent in swordsmanship is indeed high. If he can meet a great swordsman in the Eternal Realm to guide him, he may be able to soar to the sky."
It couldn't help but speak up, saying, "How long can you hold out like this? You're giving it your all with every sword strike. Even with the ultimate cultivation system, I don't think you can last more than an hour."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Xuan gritted his teeth. "There's no turning back on the path I've chosen—rather than be struck dead by heavenly lightning during my tribulation, I'd rather take a gamble here!"
"Good lad, I wasn't wrong about you!" The little tower became interested and suddenly flew out from between Chen Xuan's eyebrows. Its main body instantly expanded and covered an area of a hundred miles.
As the section of the small pagoda's blue body shone with light, it enveloped an area of hundreds of miles, and the flow of time within that area suddenly slowed down dramatically.
"Seeing how difficult it is for you, I'll lend you a hand," came the voice of the little tower. "The source I control is the Great Dao of Time. Although it's just a section of the tower and can only exert two or three tenths of its power, it can slow down the flow of time within its range by 18 times. As a result, the speed at which the chaotic waters pass through the tower and attack you will also be 18 times slower—if your movements are fast enough, you can avoid it without even drawing your sword, saving you a lot of effort."
Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat—he himself also possessed the Dao of Time, though his understanding was still shallow, and he hadn't expected the little tower to have such abilities. "So you can not only accelerate time, but also slow it down?"
"What do you know?" the little tower said arrogantly. "You've only just begun your path in the Great Dao of Time. How can you compare to me? The fusion of the three Daos of Time, Space, and Heaven and Earth constitutes the many categories of the Eternal Great Dao of Time and Space. Once you've gathered all the fragments of my tower, I'll naturally show you what true power of time and space is."
"Alright, you win." Chen Xuan's lips curled slightly, and as he spoke, 36 streams of chaotic water attacked from all directions.
Just as the little tower had said, the water flow slowed down considerably after passing through the tower and entering the time zone—for Chen Xuan, who was familiar with the original speed, this speed was almost like a tortoise crawling.
With a swift movement, he effortlessly dodged all the attacks without expending a single sword strike or exertion.
"Great! With this help, I can retain most of my strength even when I reach the bottom of the sea." Chen Xuan didn't say much thanks - he and the little tower were bound together by fate. If he died here, this section of the little tower would never see the light of day, let alone gather the rest of the tower to return to its peak strength.
He used all his strength to move and dodge within a hundred-mile range, and soon he had descended eighteen thousand miles.
Even with the small tower slowing down time, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead—at this depth, the number of chaotic water streams attacking at once had increased from 36 to 376, more than tenfold.
Chen Xuan saw stars, and the magical and divine power within his Purple Mansion was rapidly draining away.
He frantically ate pills and drank concentrated liquid, but it was no match for the rate at which he consumed energy from sword strikes. A sense of unease gripped him: "This can't go on..."
He struggled on and descended another 26,000 li.
Upon reaching this point, even Chen Xuan felt a sense of despair – the water streams attacking in a single attack had exceeded a thousand, densely packed like a torrential downpour, leaving him less and less room to dodge.
No matter how fast he moved, he was still inevitably grazed by the water. Although he had divine power to protect him, he still grimaced in pain, and his divine power was being depleted like a flood.
"Kid, can you still hold on?" Xiao Ta's voice was less playful and more serious.
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, rapidly teleporting within a hundred-mile radius, barely dodging the relentless attacks of over a thousand streams of water. "Hmph, it's still early. I can hold out for another eighteen days!"
