A burst of spinning disoriented him, as if a thousand years had passed in a dream, a hazy, dreamlike sensation of time, like car sickness with a touch of dizziness and nausea.

"Hoo~"

Zhang Ji entered the space-time tunnel of the Heavenly Serpent Tablet. The walls of the tunnel were glazed with light, interwoven with strange space-time forces. He couldn't see outside; everything was a hazy white.

"Ah! Big Brother!"

A golden mountain of flesh, seemingly made of pure gold, rolled in, shouting and yelling, dizzy for a long time.

"Uncle Tai Sui doesn't need to worry. This is divine soul discomfort caused by space-time forces. It will be fine in a moment," said the Green Lotus Snake Woman as she followed in, shaking her head and smiling slightly.

The Tai Sui meatball nodded, shaking its chubby body.

"Ying ying ying!"

Yingying Ball flew in. It didn't seem to experience any discomfort. Instead, it curiously spun around, then landed on Zhang Ji's body.

Zhang Ji glanced at it and smiled, "You little fellow even came along."

"Ying ying ying~"

It made a strange, undulating sound, childish and cute, telling Zhang Ji that wherever Zhang Ji went, it would go, and he shouldn't leave it behind.

The Green Lotus Snake Woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Father's pet is quite interesting."

Zhang Ji said, "It's not a pet, but my weapon!"

The Green Lotus Snake Woman paused, remembering the scene when Zhang Ji used this thing to beat the Son of Heaven Dao Lord into a scurrying mess, and her expression became unnatural.

The Tai Sui meatball said innocently, "I'm a meatball, it's a stone ball. We're quite a pair. If it weren't made of stone, I'd think it was a member of my Tai Sui clan."

Zhang Ji smiled.

Yingying Ball naturally couldn't be a Tai Sui. It was a peculiar creature, hard and resistant to beating, immune to all spells and secret arts. Zhang Ji had never seen anything that could injure it.

"Let's go. The journey doesn't seem short. We need to descend as soon as possible."

Zhang Ji took the lead, followed closely by the Tai Sui meatball and the Green Lotus Snake Woman. Yingying Ball sat in the gaps of Zhang Ji's scales, swaying and making cheerful *ying ying* sounds from time to time.

The space-time tunnel was very quiet, without any sound.

Zhang Ji moved very fast, transforming into a streak of lightning, but his actual speed exceeded the speed of light. In the blink of an eye, he traveled hundreds of millions of miles, much faster than Sun Wukong's somersault cloud.

The Tai Sui meatball and the Green Lotus Snake Woman couldn't keep up and could only grab Zhang Ji's snake tail to move forward.

On both sides of the tunnel, light and shadow flowed, gradually becoming dark. Occasionally, a brilliant nebula flashed by. Zhang Ji guessed that he might have reached the depths of the starry sky.

"This Heavenly Serpent Tablet's teleportation channel is quite strange. It actually opens a path directly in the starry sky, but it seems to be in nothingness."

Zhang Ji pondered, somewhat puzzled.

Because when his avatar descended to the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas last time, he arrived in a flash, like passing through a space-time gate. But now that the avatar has opened the teleportation channel, it is much slower.

Although it was slow, it was also extremely fast. After all, the nebulae in the starry sky flashed by as afterimages. That was a sea of stars, composed of endless celestial bodies, but now it was instantly left behind.

This was the space-time force of the space-time tunnel.

Zhang Ji felt this force, grand and profound, unfathomable, unimaginable, mysterious, and unpredictable.

The Green Lotus Snake Woman said with awe, "It is said that as long as you master the power of space-time, you can freely enter and exit the Mountain and Sea World, be invulnerable to all laws, and instantly escape into the river of time and space when defending against enemies without fighting."

Zhang Ji asked, "Which realm must one cultivate to in order to master this power?"

The Green Lotus Snake Woman smiled shamefully, "This daughter's strength is low. This daughter really doesn't know the answer to Father's question."

"However, if a certain creature is born with space-time talent, it can master this power in advance and freely enter and exit the river of time and space. But these creatures are often the chosen ones, extremely rare. I have never seen them in the Immortal World."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Yingying Ball on Zhang Ji's scales suddenly flew out, faster than Zhang Ji, flying in front of Zhang Ji while playfully spinning in a circle.

Instantly.

On its side, a river spanning nothingness appeared, flowing with endless time and years, the power of space-time permeating between the undulating waves.

It was vague and blurry, but it did exist.

The Green Lotus Snake Woman exclaimed, "The River of Time and Space?! This is the River of Time and Space."

Zhang Ji was also taken aback and gave Yingying Ball a sidelong glance. This little fellow could actually manifest the River of Time and Space. Clearly, it had mastered the power of space-time.

Moreover, it was very likely the kind of creature with space-time talent that the Green Lotus Snake Woman spoke of, a chosen one.

The Tai Sui meatball was amazed, clicking its tongue in wonder. "Yingying Ball, we're both balls, but you're much more high-end than me. You play with space-time, I play with meat."

"Ying ying ying~"

Yingying Ball made a triumphant laughing sound, flying in front of Zhang Ji and showing off, its body permeated with the same aura as the River of Time and Space.

Zhang Ji watched with envy.

Yingying Ball suddenly spun and shot out a hazy stream of light that landed on Zhang Ji's body.

Zhang Ji instantly felt that a strange energy had suddenly appeared in his soul's sea of consciousness, on the Tiger Aspect Spirit Platform. This energy was exactly the same as the aura of the River of Time and Space, and was actually the power of space-time.

The power of space-time was mysterious and unpredictable, unfathomable. It was everywhere, yet invisible and intangible. But under Yingying Ball's manipulation, it manifested as tangible energy and landed on Zhang Ji's Tiger Aspect Spirit Platform.

Zhang Ji tried to comprehend it and was pleasantly surprised to find that this space-time force was very "orderly," as if it had been straightened out. He could actually comprehend it, but it was too complex and profound, requiring a long time.

Zhang Ji squinted, guessing that this space-time power was probably the space-time power that Yingying Ball had mastered.

"Hahaha, Yingying is good, Yingying Ball is such a good child!"

Zhang Ji said excitedly, his snake tongue flicking out, and he kissed it with a *bam*, making it happily spin and dance, emitting *ying ying ying* laughter.

This thing that Hu San presented that day always inadvertently showed its incredible power and value.

"Next time I see Hu San, I'll give this dog thing a great reward!"

Zhang Ji pondered, remembering that he didn't seem to have rewarded Hu San for Yingying Ball yet.

The Tai Sui meatball and the Green Lotus Snake Woman watched with envy, begging Yingying Ball to give them a stream of space-time power as well. The two of them also wanted to comprehend this power.

However.

Yingying Ball emitted *ying ying ying* undulations, telling them that it could only transport this one stream of space-time power. Any more would cause space-time chaos.

The Tai Sui meatball and the Green Lotus Snake Woman were disappointed.

Zhang Ji comforted them, "It's not too late for me to share with you after I comprehend this space-time power in the future."

The two nodded gratefully.

Just then, the space-time tunnel suddenly shook violently, and cobweb-like cracks appeared around it, as if it were about to explode.

The Green Lotus Snake Woman's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "The other side of the tunnel is unstable."

A fierce light flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "It seems that something has happened to my avatar. Someone is destroying my positioning teleportation, not wanting my ferocious king cobra to descend!"

Chapter 2

Zhang Ji opened the White-Eyed Wolf King's mouth and said, "Second Brother Tai Sui, Green Lotus, come into my mouth and prepare to enter the starry sky!"

"We may have to wander in the starry sky for a while!"

Tai Sui and Green Lotus were terrified and panicked. Their strength was not enough to drift in the starry sky for a long time. They hurriedly鑽进(zuān jìn - burrowed into) Zhang Ji's White-Eyed Wolf King's mouth to hide.

Yingying Ball also followed in, but instantly vomited and ran out, emitting an angry *ying ying ying* sound, the undulations telling Zhang Ji that his mouth was too stinky, stinking it to death!

Zhang Ji ignored it, his eyes fixed on the space-time tunnel. As he watched, more and more cracks appeared on the walls. Finally, with a sudden "boom," the space-time tunnel exploded.

Terrible impact erupted, brilliant white light bloomed, like the sun exploding, but the power was even more terrifying.

This was the power of space-time, incomparably terrifying.

Zhang Ji shrank his snake body as much as possible to reduce the area of impact, but he still felt like he was being rubbed by a heavy hammer, cut by a blade, and squeezed in a confined space…

That feeling made Zhang Ji feel like he was dying and being reborn, extremely uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but spit out large mouthfuls of blood. The scales all over his body fell off, his flesh and blood collapsed, his bones and tendons broke, and even the Tiger Aspect Spirit Platform cracked.

Since he debuted as a snake, except for the tribulation he encountered when breaking the shackles, he had never had such a difficult time as today.

"Aowu—!"

Zhang Ji screamed and fell from the space-time tunnel, landing in the vast starry sky, dazed. His body automatically transformed back to its original shape. The huge body was as small as dust in the vast and boundless starry sky.

Time passed.

The starry sky was dark and silent, cold and desolate.

A streak of blood-colored light drifted.

Looking closely.

This streak of blood-colored light was not a meteorite, nor was it the wreckage of a celestial body. It was a giant python with a length of thirty million meters, but it had six heads and looked extremely ferocious.

But at this moment.

It was like it was dead, drifting in the starry sky at will, like duckweed without roots in the sea.

It was covered in blood and wounds, but strangely, in the harsh environment of cosmic vacuum radiation, its blood did not disperse, and its injuries were slowly recovering on their own.

This was the power of the flesh, incredible.

"Hoo~"

A meteorite flew from the starry sky, carrying speed and crashing into the snake's body.

"Hua."

The meteorite exploded, shining brightly, and the meteorite annihilated into powder, but the snake's body still existed, not suffering much damage, like an eternally immortal god's body.

Such a powerful and terrifying body was beyond imagination. Even the starry sky could not erase it.

"Om~"

In the dark starry sky, a huge shadow suddenly rushed over. It was a space giant crab, half the size of the Earth, and also a huge and ferocious beast.

It could survive in the starry sky, its strength was evident.

It sensed that there was prey drifting in the distance. Its green eyes flickered with fluorescence in the dark starry sky, full of greed. It pounced fiercely, rushing towards the snake body drifting in the distance.

"Ying ying ying~"

A stone ball suddenly flew up from the snake body, emitting a strong warning fluctuation.

However.

It was only the size of a millstone. In the eyes of the giant crab, it was about the size of an ant. The giant crab ignored its warning and continued to pounce on the snake body.

"Ying—"

Yingying Ball seemed to be provoked. It suddenly let out a sharp cry, creating terrible sound waves in the universe, and the meteor streams flying from afar instantly exploded.

And itself, in the blink of an eye, swelled up, becoming as huge as a celestial body, like a giant planet, its entire body flowing with strange luster, emitting a terrifying aura.

In the opposite starry sky.

The giant crab was horrified and hurriedly fled, but the planet transformed from the stone ball smashed over.

"Pu~"

Flesh and blood splattered, the giant crab died on the spot, and a terrifying aura remained in the starry sky.

In the distance, in the darkness, other shadowy monsters saw this scene and instantly left.

"Ying~"

Yingying Ball let out a triumphant chuckle, childish and cute, but suddenly shook, as if overdrawing its power and becoming weak, instantly shrinking to the size of a millstone, and landed wearily in the gaps of Zhang Ji's snake scales.

Obviously, the big move just now could not be used lightly. It had great trauma and sequelae for the young it.

It moved, as if it wanted to do something, but its aura became weak and it instantly fell asleep, just like when Zhang Ji first got it, emitting a slight snore.

But after this battle, the fierce creatures lurking in the starry sky dared not come to hunt again.

It, protected Zhang Ji.

The cold universe existed eternally, and no one knew how long it had existed. Time had also lost its due function in the universe, unable to measure scale and existence.

The universe, was unfathomable.

No one knew what the end of the starry sky was.

Perhaps only the ancient and modern great powers with transcendent cultivation could glimpse a trace.

Time had no meaning here. Maybe ten years had passed, maybe a hundred years had passed.

"Hoo~"

The blood-golden snake body was thirty million meters long, like a jade glazed blood-gold cast god body, drifting in the boundless and dark starry sky, with its own strong radiation, motionless, as if it had completely died.

However, looking closely.

The once scarred snake body had actually been restored to its original state. A ball of strong and vigorous divine soul power was undergoing nirvana, interwoven with hazy space-time power.

If Yingying Ball saw such a scene, it would definitely be very surprised.

Because this space-time power was the power it had mastered, bestowed by talent, but now Zhang Ji had comprehended it, although he had not comprehended much, it was amazing enough.

At the same time.

In the starry sky, a huge spaceship was sailing.

The spaceship was one-third the size of a planet, also a giant ship, tall and majestic, its hull flashing with silver-white divine light, densely covered with formation restrictions.

At the bow of the ship stood a monster skull several hundred feet in size, hideous and ferocious.

This was the most prominent symbol of this spaceship.

If other spaceships saw it, they would definitely exclaim, because this ship was the "Skull Legion," notorious in the starry sky.

The Skull Legion, one of the top ten pirate forces in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Here.

Countless thugs and evil creatures gathered, including humans, demons, and other races, but all of them were extremely vicious people who had committed monstrous crimes before fleeing here.

Because this place, was the Chaotic Star Sea.

The most chaotic and vast realm in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, unlike Yunshan Realm or other worlds, which were all ancient lands of life, the Chaotic Star Sea was a sea area composed of abandoned planets, and its vastness was evident.

At this moment.

This pirate ship of the Skull Legion was sailing in the starry sky, not knowing where it was going.

On the deck at the bow of the ship, through the energy shield, one could see guards standing guard and vigilance, and many people were gathered together dismembering the corpse of a monster, grilling meat and drinking merrily.

Not far away on the pillars, several blood-covered people were tied up, being whipped by grinning guards, and red-hot branding irons were falling down, with screams ringing out.

Next to them, a burly and tall man was pressing on a woman with rabbit ears, frantically making gestures, slapping her a few times from time to time. The rabbit woman cried, struggled, but he laughed excitedly.

This was a chaotic scene, this was the life of a pirate.
