Chapter 1089: Chapter 434 Escape from Trouble_2
Weapon stowed, Zhou Tian leveraged his Emperor-level Boss abilities to distance himself from those Demigods. Only after the replicated Beastmen in his personal world had transferred all their strength into him did Zhou Tian throw a punch into the air before him. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Crack!" With Zhou Tian’s punch, the space in front of him instantly shattered, and he immediately dashed into the fractured space at the moment of its destruction.
"That guy’s insane," the Demigods nearby exclaimed in shock upon witnessing Zhou Tian’s actions.
It was difficult to cause spatial fractures, though not impossible with the Demigods’ abilities. However, from the beginning, these Demigods had never imagined that Zhou Tian would take such a desperate measure, convinced that even if he managed to escape, it was almost certain that he would ultimately lose his life. Entering a Fractured Space was far from as safe as traversing a Spatial Passage. Without proper shielding, one would immediately suffer the onslaught of Space Fragments, and considering the lethal force of Spatial Elements, not just Emperors like Zhou Tian, but even Deities could face peril.
Unless one was a formidable practitioner of Spatial Rules, anyone attempting to flee in the manner Zhou Tian had would likely lose their life, regardless of whether they could evade their enemies’ pursuit. Because of this, the Demigods were unprepared for Zhou Tian’s reaction and did not pursue him into the Fractured Space after he entered. Instead, most believed that Zhou Tian’s actions were a death wish.
Was Zhou Tian really seeking death?
Clearly, Zhou Tian was not ready to die. Had he not been fairly certain of his chances, he probably wouldn’t have risked such a perilous action. Therefore, since Zhou Tian did proceed as he did, it meant he had made the necessary preparations and had his own methods to ensure his survival.
The reason the Demigods thought Zhou Tian was courting death was that Zhou Tian was known for having mastered Time Rule. Given the difficulty of mastering Time Rules, Zhou Tian’s ability to use them to such extent at his age was already exceptional. Hence, the Demigods did not believe he would have the capability to refine Spatial Rules on top of Time Rules.
What the Demigods failed to consider was correct: Zhou Tian might not have refined Spatial Rule, but they never contemplated that sometimes, even without such specific training, if the right methods were employed, feats normally achievable only through Spatial Rules could still be accomplished through other means.
To the average person, the danger in a Shattered Space stemmed from two issues: one, the overwhelming destructive power of Spatial Elements, against which even Divine defenses might not guarantee safety. Secondly, once within the Fractured Space, navigational clarity was lost, making it difficult for the entrant to find their way. Hence, a person might die trapped within the Shattered Space even if they were initially capable of defending themselves without supplies and disoriented. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Aware of these two escape difficulties, Zhou Tian undoubtedly had contemplated them thoroughly before using the Shattered Space as his last resort for escape.
Indeed, without specializing in Spatial Rules, it would be very difficult for Zhou Tian to find the right path within the Shattered Space. However, despite lacking this ability, Zhou Tian had other ways to compensate for this deficiency, ultimately relying on external assistance to achieve the same effect.
Firstly, before embarking on this course of action, Zhou Tian had his Beastmen create a Spatial Tool for positioning. With this artifact and its corresponding accessories in hand, he could determine his location and the route back. With this method, Zhou Tian had thus solved the issue of "direction."
Then, the damage from the Fractured Space didn’t concern Zhou Tian.
Without having mastered Spatial Rules, Zhou Tian almost lacked any means to avoid attacks by Spatial Elements. Although persisting inside for an extended period would be challenging, withstanding for a short duration was still within his capabilities.
"Fortunately, Time Elements still exist here; otherwise, it would be a big problem," Zhou Tian muttered, glancing at his wounds before accelerating towards the direction he sensed.
On his way, Zhou Tian encountered numerous Space Fragments and even unluckily ran into a Spatial Storm. In such a treacherous environment, sustaining injuries became commonplace for him. Shockingly, he even "died" several times under the assault of Spatial Elements. If not for his Time Ability consistently reviving him at critical moments, Zhou Tian knew well that despite his respectable status among Emperor-level Bosses, his time in the Fractured Space would be short-lived.
