Chapter 2616 Boundless Sphere 2
The Boundless Sphere floated silently above the sea, seemingly unaware of the arrival of Zhang Yi and the others.
Zhang Yi glanced at the calm, mirror-like sea ahead and gestured for the others to wait there at a distance.
He himself carried the Sword of Judgment and Eternity, protected by the Taixu Bathrobe, and an old pendulum appeared in his left eye, simultaneously activating the future prophecy ability of the [Second Hand of Time].
The moment Zhang Yi stepped into the sea, he felt an unexpected pressure enveloping him, as if the world was shrouded in an invisible constraint.
The Boundless Sphere stood before them, and the instant Zhang Yi appeared in the sea, it suddenly underwent a noticeable change, which had previously appeared lifeless.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
……
What was originally just a giant metal sphere suddenly developed countless holes on its surface, like eyes.
Countless eyes flickered slightly, filled with cold indifference and a desire to devour.
Everything around it, from all directions, is visible to its eyes.
Zhang Yi could feel himself being stared at by a dense crowd, which made his skin crawl.
It's giving me trypophobia; he's practically as piercingly similar to Zhang Han with a thousand eyes.
"Let me see what abilities you, the guardian of the sea, possess!"
Zhang Yi muttered to himself, his fingers lightly touching the hilt of the Eternal Judgment Sword, feeling a cold vibration emanating from the blade.
This time, he still chose to remain still and wait for the opponent to activate their abilities first.
He donned the Taixu Bath Robe, and the starlight and aura surrounding his body formed an invisible defensive line. At the same time, he activated the [Second Hand of Time].
At this moment, the flow of time seemed to undergo a subtle change.
Zhang Yi's gaze gradually deepened; he could see cracks in the timeline and glimpse fleeting fragments of the future.
Each flashback to the future accelerated his thinking and decision-making.
However, at that very moment, the air in the sea began to become heavy and distorted.
Zhang Yi felt an irresistible force suddenly dragging him into the realm of the Boundless Sphere.
Immediately afterwards, the whole world seemed to have been stripped of all color and plunged into deep darkness.
The Boundless Sphere's ability: [Seven Emotions and Six Desires].
This is an extremely powerful domain ability that can profoundly influence a person's emotions and mental state, directly triggering the internal suicide mechanism.
Zhang Yi felt an endless despair spreading through his body. His breathing became rapid, and his heart felt as if it were being heavily pressed down, as if each beat was sending him a signal of death.
"I saw it..."
A flicker of confusion crossed Zhang Yi's eyes, followed by a rapid acceleration of his thought process.
He saw his future: he stood amidst ruins, and everyone around him had fallen.
The person he loved most died tragically beside him in the most cruel way, and the manner of death was extremely gruesome.
He saw his woman turned into skewers, saw the aliens devouring Uncle You's corpse, and saw Fatty Xu's navel set on fire and released like a sky lantern.
He saw his perfect fortress, which he had spent nearly six years building, easily shattered.
He saw that everything he had accumulated in this world over the years had vanished into nothingness.
Standing on the land of Huaxu, now reduced to scorched earth, he felt only darkness obscuring the sun.
When he looked up again, he saw a face that was somewhat familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar.
The sin of greed, the face of Mammon.
Just like the scene when he tore apart the Tianyu Palace invasion, but this time he was fully resurrected. Huge and dark, all that could be seen was a huge mouth that occupied most of his face, revealing fangs, opening wide and fiercely biting downwards!
The entire universe collapsed amidst cataclysmic destruction, once glorious civilizations were completely wiped out, and all hope vanished into nothingness.
This is the illusion of the Boundless Sphere, where all beauty, light, and hope are swallowed up by endless darkness.
Suddenly, in the endless darkness, a ray of pure light appeared.
The person's face looked very familiar. Zhang Yi paused for a moment before realizing who it was.
Zhang Yi saw himself in the illusion.
To be precise, it is Zhang Yi composed of white light from ether.
It was an extremely illusory existence, filled with indifference and emptiness.
The illusory Zhang Yi slowly spoke, his voice echoing from a distant space: "Give up, give up all of this. The power you pursue, everything you insist on, is nothing but an illusion. You will never be able to change the future; only letting go brings liberation."
“Return to the ether, and you will find ultimate peace.”
"There will be no death, no pain, no separation here. There will be no deception, no betrayal, only love and eternity."
Zhang Yi's body trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly became firm.
No matter how real this illusion may seem, he has already witnessed far too much hypocrisy and deception.
Zhang Yi sneered and looked up at the false self composed of ethereal white light:
"As the saying goes, 'the poor are poor at midnight and the rich are rich at dawn,' my life is destined to be full of ups and downs. Since that's the case, I'll just seek a moment of brilliance, why bother pursuing eternity? Even if I die and my soul dissipates in the end, I will live life to the fullest."
His voice was full of power, an indomitable will that burned in the endless darkness and illusion, challenging all false wills.
As those words fell, Zhang Yi's heart was torn apart by an indescribable force.
The white light of the illusion began to fade, and the illusory Zhang Yi gradually disappeared into nothingness.
In the illusion, it felt as if a century had passed.
But in reality, it only lasts for a moment.
Zhang Yi's face was expressionless, but he still subconsciously covered his chest.
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Even though he knew it was fake, the feeling of realness still made him feel very uncomfortable.
If Zhang Yi hadn't used the [Second Hand of Time] to see the other party's illusionary realm beforehand and given himself a heads-up, he probably would have been in so much pain that his heart would have been ruptured.
Heartbreak is no joke; when a person suffers immense trauma, the structure of the heart can actually be damaged.
"You think you can escape my control like this?"
The sound of the Boundless Sphere was like a cold laugh coming from the abyss. The 100,000 eyes stared angrily in the endless darkness, releasing an indescribable sense of oppression.
However, Zhang Yi's will grew stronger, his eyes gleaming with determination. He suppressed his despair and transformed it into strength.
He doesn't need to run away, nor does he need to give up.
Since we cannot escape, we should face it and break free from all these false constraints.
As consciousness awakened, Zhang Yi suddenly swung the Eternal Judgment Sword in his hand.
