Bai Lan, who had been staring blankly at the giant palm in the time pit, suddenly felt Ye Ling's aura change. She looked at Ye Ling and saw that half of his body was covered in characters she couldn't understand.
"When did you get a tattoo?" Bai Lan asked, looking at the mysterious characters on Ye Ling's skin. "It's quite cool. Is this your hometown's language?"
"This is the Source Text, the power that constructs primordial chaos," Ye Ling explained to Bai Lan, simultaneously channeling the Source Text from himself to Bai Lan. The Source Text then disappeared.
"This Source Text disappeared from me!" Bai Lan exclaimed in surprise, finding it magical as the characters on her body vanished.
"They didn't disappear, they are just hidden within you," Ye Ling explained patiently.
"What's the use of this Source Text?" Bai Lan asked curiously. After the Source Text disappeared, she could no longer sense its presence on her.
"It has many uses, but for you now, its greatest use is to help you conceal your aura, so that the giant in the time pit cannot detect you."
"Is the giant in the time pit our enemy?"
"Yes, he should be a subordinate of the Primordial Time King."
"Alright... but I still can't imagine how we are supposed to fight such a colossal being." Bai Lan looked again at the translucent giant palm in the distance.
The palm alone was larger than the sun. She couldn't even imagine how big the giant's true form was, or how they were supposed to kill him!
"You don't need to do anything, you just need to watch."
Ye Ling picked up Bai Lan, leaped, and left the train, heading towards the time pit.
Although the train they were on was fast, they were still quite a distance from the time pit, and Ye Ling couldn't wait that long.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ling brought Bai Lan to the edge of the time pit. They could no longer see the full extent of the giant palm.
"So big... How deep is this time pit?"
Bai Lan peered into the time pit. She saw that the giant time pit walls were embedded with numerous light stones, and the giant's body was still at the bottom of the pit, completely invisible!
Bai Lan could only see a colossal arm extending from the depths of the time pit.
"Such a huge pit, and there are no elevators or stairs around. How are we supposed to get in?" Bai Lan scanned the edges of the time pit, finding no passage to descend.
Ye Ling didn't rush to enter the time pit. Instead, he first probed downwards with his divine soul and discovered that the giant in the time pit was only half-submerged, with its lower body immersed in a massive formation, existing in another spacetime.
This time pit, it turned out, was merely a transit station for storing light stones.
While Ye Ling was observing the situation, the giant seemed to have collected enough light stones. Its palm retracted into the time pit, and it teleported away with a large quantity of light stones.
The trains that arrived at the time pit later all stopped at the edge, began unloading, and poured large amounts of light stones directly into the time pit.
At the bottom of the time pit, the light stones had accumulated into a white ocean. Its vast energy caused the spacetime within the time pit to distort.
"The giant is gone," Bai Lan said to Ye Ling, seeing the giant depart.
"He was probably just here temporarily to collect some light stones, not a permanent guard," Ye Ling replied.
"Then what do we do now? This time pit just looks like a place to store light stones, it doesn't seem to have any other use," Bai Lan added.
"No, this time pit has a great purpose!" Ye Ling's lips curved slightly. "This massive time pit has been collecting light stones throughout the endless epochs. The energy stored here has reached a terrifying level."
"Most importantly, the energy stored here is not ordinary power, but spacetime power that can influence spacetime itself! If this power is released, I estimate that the entire primordial chaos will be affected!"
"This time pit is that terrifying?" Bai Lan exclaimed. "Are you planning to absorb the energy of this time pit?"
"No... it's not me absorbing it." Ye Ling shook his head and looked at Bai Lan with a smile. "It's you."
"Me?"
Bai Lan was stunned, thinking she had misheard.
She was merely a sixth-grade cultivator. The power contained in a single light stone was almost equivalent to all her spiritual energy.
How could she, such a tiny speck, be worthy of absorbing the energy of the time pit?
"Brother Ye... you're not joking with me, are you?" Bai Lan's mouth twitched.
Ye Ling: "No, I'm serious. Although the energy in the time pit is immense, it has no significance to me. Moreover, if I rashly absorb so much spacetime power, it would instead contaminate my own spiritual energy."
"But you are different. You are incredibly compatible with spacetime power. The energy contained in the light stones can be considered your perfect supplement. If you absorb them, you can perfectly utilize all the power. The Primordial Time King is our enemy, and since these light stones belong to him, there's no need for us to be polite."
"But there's too much power... I can't do it."
"With me here, there won't be any problems," Ye Ling said, patting Bai Lan's shoulder. "Besides, don't you want to solve the problem of the time pit? If you absorb the power in the time pit, the problem will naturally be solved."
Bai Lan was still hesitant. "Even if I can absorb the power in the time pit, won't we alert the Primordial Time King by doing this?"
"We will alert him sooner or later," Ye Ling said nonchalantly. "Besides, the Primordial Time King might not even know what we are doing here."
"Ah?" Bai Lan didn't understand.
"You'll know in a moment. For now, it's up to you whether you want this power."
"I do want it, but I still feel the risk is too..."
"Then I'll take that as a yes!"
Before Bai Lan could finish, Ye Ling grabbed her shoulders and leaped down.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The sudden bungee jump caused Bai Lan to scream instinctively. Her voice echoed in the time pit, making the light emanating from the pit walls even more dazzling.
"As expected!"
Ye Ling saw that Bai Lan's voice could even affect the light stones on the pit walls. Seemingly confirming something, he accelerated into the depths of the time pit and placed Bai Lan amidst the massive quantity of light stones.
The Source Text on Bai Lan's skin manifested, forming a Devouring Domain that rapidly spread outwards, covering the entire bottom of the time pit.
With the Devouring Domain operating at full power, immense amounts of light stone energy surged into Bai Lan's body, and her aura began to skyrocket at an incredibly terrifying speed!
The spacetime at the top of the time pit became even more distorted!
Ye Ling nodded with satisfaction as he saw Bai Lan's body showing no resistance to the energy of the light stones. He then used the Source Text to construct a barrier that enveloped the top of the time pit, creating a false impression that everything was still normal.
At this moment, the teleportation formation in the time pit reappeared, and the giant emerged from it, reaching out to the outside to absorb light stones from the trains.
The giant, whose strength was close to that of the Seven Pillars, was completely unaware that, right under his nose, two thieves were frantically stealing the power of the time pit!
